• periOrity (as faras income Went) wason the other side, and that the Militia Fi'JdOfficels, who did not re ceive the increased pay, merely upon the ground that they were, nun of Setnewhat.superior fortune, andwho therefore did not require it, ought, on that gtound, neither to claim a superiority over the Re gular Officers who were, in. general, inferior to them in, point 'of fortune. He knew that it was: unparliamentary to impute any improper motives to Members of that House, but he must say, , that if, in any other assembly, men had aced the same part as had been pursued by those of Opposition, — i 6 on every .question that coukhbe brought forward, so much was said in praise of the Volunteers, and so nuch had been said of certain expres , ,ions of his nigh, Honourable.Friend (Mr.Windhlm), he should think that their object was merely to catch - zit popu larity, to Win . to their, side that -numerous and re speaable body of men, and to •make.his . night Hon. Friend as unpopular and, as odious, as they could to that body. This' would have been his opinion if a simil it conduct had been adopted by any set of Gen tlemen out of that House; but that House he knew that it was most mwarliamentary to suppose' that any Mt'mber could be actuated by such mo tives -and the did not impute such to thern.. As to the-distinctions of pay, such distinaions ready existed in the Regular Army, and were not complained of. • - Colonel . MriFOßO was against the Bill.. Mr. Secretary-IFINDHAM (after some conver sation with Lord Temple) begged leave to with draw hts Motion, That the Speaker do Auk the chair," and to substitute in the place of it, I' that it be an instruction to the Committee to empower them to extend the 'provisions of the .A.a to the Yeomanry and Volunteer Corps." After.a few words from Mr. BASTARD the Mo tion was agreed to; as was also that of the House resolving itself into a Committee. in the Con mittee Sir. Wm. ELFORD proposed a Clause for leav ing out the .word " Officers ;" which was negatived by a majority of 38 to 17. While StrangerS were excluded, - we understand the Committee reported progress, and had leave to sit again. EMBANKMENT BILL. Sir C. POLE moved tbe.second reading of forpreventing Embankmepts in Harbours, ,or Ri-. vers communicating therewith, without notice .pre viously giien -to the Admiralty. A long conversation glen took place, in which The object of th:: Bill was universally apprOted of (which wAs. to -preVent-the inpry which individuals might-do to the great Harbours and The Country). The ‘vc - k.ds of the .46t were, .however, conceived by many s 4 Blembers as too general. Sir C POLE said, that in thm progress of the Bill Yre wctild be very ready to listen, to any suggestions that were made. The Bill was then ordered to be read a second time to-morrow. DRAWBACK.BILL. Upon the l',lotion of Mr,: FOSTER this Bill was read a third time. - , Mr. VAN S ITTA ITT moved,a, Clause, for continuing the present Drawbacks on tbe . export4tion of German and Russian Linen to the' West Indies tothe.2tith of March, 1807, and for the : usual time that Draw, backs were usually granted alter that time. Mr. - FOSTER, with great animation, opposed the Clause,las striking at the staple Manufatture of Ire land, and Le:ng contrary to, the bargain made be tween the two Countries, Mr. VANSITTART proposed adjourning the discus sion of the Clause. M;. FOSTER said, that he had. been so often persuaded by Ministers to postpone the Bill, that .he could not, in justice to Ireland, postpone it any longer, unless there was a positive engagement that it should bethe first business discUssed - to-morrow. - Mr. DA WSON and Lord ACHESON contended, that as it was a subjea which every IriSh Member was agreed on, the Right Hon. Gentlenian (Mr. Vansit ,tart) ought not to press his Clause. • - Mr. VANSITTART then consented to withdraw it: The Sill was then read a thiid time and passed. The other Orders of the Day were then'disposed of ; and at half past One o'clock this morning the house adjourned. FOREIGN INIELLIGENCE. ST. SEBASTIAN, JUNE 25.—The Schooner L'Es prance, just arrived at St.. Andero from Carraccas, bas brought accounts of the famous Expedition of -MIRANDA.

The Reis Effendi has declared, in the name of his Highness, that the Porte will not retra& its - determination, arid that, the. &rat— taires must, according to ancient usage, •either . main at the residences of the Consuls of their nations, or decide to become suOjettaói the Porte, and re nounce all foreign jurisditlion: After the publica tion of this decision, the Porte demanded of all the Barattaires and' Dragomans, carrying' on commerce at Constantinople, a- precise declaration of their in tentions, threatening, on failure, to put a seal on their counting-houses and ware-houses. Some of theßarattaires nave; in consequence, renounced their privileges, others have 'promised to- remain at the residence of their Consul. Some have not 'yet de clared their intentions, but none are Under theprotec tion of the Porte. The OttornanCourt Appears deter— mined to suppress all the - jurisdittions and proteOtionS exercised by tcireign powers in the Turkish Empire', by means of dicer iegaiions.

JULY r2.—Letters flora Metrowitz announce that the Turks have again penetrated from Bosnia into the Servian territory, with fire and sword, not even sparing women, old men or children. Those inha bitants who have eSeapedshave passed into the Ails= trian territories, and encamped in the environs of Ale trowitz.

The fate of I‘IIRANDA is pot yet known, and the accounts ,are so different that it is difficult to form any OpiniOn on the sUbjeft:', The American Papers confidently announce his failure; and their accounts are. corroborated by a letter 'from- St. Sebastian, ;in Spain, Which 'relites the • particulars of his defeat, t. • and says,, that it took place on the 2pth of April: — In the Haytian Gazette there appears a letter signed liIRKL'AI%D, One . of the Officers of the Expedition; in . 7.vhibh he speaks triumlibantlY . of its progress, and predias • ultimate and complete .snccess, Whether, or' not this letter • be • -a' thbrication • remains to •be proved ; it is dated the'i9th of Aped, nary days before the- defeJt' statedie letter frOnf Saint Sobasuan; •to have, taken place.

In confirmation of what we have thus said :re speaing MIRANDA, 'accounts, we learn, haVe just been received from 'Grenada, stating that, he had gone to that place (and not to Barbadoes,' as report ed); and it was there confidently said; that he would speedily , renew his ; ntternpt with a reinfbrcement from the British Admiral. \Vc understand that, the prorogation of Parliament ' will certainly take place on Wednesday se'nnight.

This was made known to the Senior Officeron the Station, Capt,SH ER R I FF, who communicated the same to Lord STR ANGronb, who made arrangements accordingly for tile recovery of the prisoners. A guard was sent from the Curieux to take care of them, and the Police secured a great number of them, and sentthem on board. Soon after this the pri- soners mutinied, seized the ammunition and , arms, and went off with the Cartel's boat, threatening, at the ' sarrie tithe, that if any attempt was Made to bring ' them back, they would put every man in the Cartel to death. In the meanwhile the Guard having found some ammunition which had escaped their search, Made use of it. One Frenchman was ,wounded, an other was drowned, and, unfortunately, a Porta guese, was killed by one of the shot, which occa sioned the embargo.
