if he still his friends Weald tint haVe ati eopbfiti' hity of discussing the principle of the measure.. The Bill had been already put off several times, and.it was desirable to proceed with it withotit further delay. Mr. PERCEVAL thought the measure one of the most important that could be brought under the con sideration of Parliament, and wished to take the ear - Lest, as well as, every opportunity of taking the sense of the House upon it. He submitted to the Noble Lord, therefore, whether with a view to the conve , nience of the House, he would bring on the discus sion at this late hour. The SPEAKgs acqUainted the House,, that there were Petitions on the Table, and, Counsel to be heard, against the Bill. Lord TEMPLE had no difficulty in conceding to, the delay, but wished to be under s tood as yielding to the convenience of the House, not to the menace of the arguments, or opposition; of the Learned Gen tleman. Mr. Rosa saw no occasion for the warmth of the Noble Lord, from any-thing that had fallen from his Learned Friend. The Bill was -the most im portant that could be under the consideration of the House, being-neither more nor less than a Bill to suspend permanently the Navigation Laws. Lord DE BLAQUIEim thought the Noble Lord's warmth a wanton and unnecessary waste of tem _ _ _ _ _ _ per ; and demanded, for himself and hiA friends an opportunity of discussing the merits,of . the Bill in every stage, Lord H. PETTY said a few words in justification of his Noble Friend; and -Mr. PERCEVAL declared that ,he had not considered the observatiop of the Noble Lord as personally uncivil to him. Mr. FOX, after the ostentatious manner in which the importance of this Measure had been stated, felt it necessary to say a few words in order to ex pplain its import. It was a Bill to suspend tetnpora ly, not permanently, the Navigation Laws; and this was not the first timethat such a measure had been enacted. The pill of 1783 went much farther than the present measure: But if it was the wish of Gentlemen, be should have no ojedioe, to limit its operation to the present Win', and if even that would ot satisfy those persons who suppoied their interests would be affeeted by the measure, and that they should be better pleased to have it restriaed to a certain period, or during the War, he sliould not stand in the way of any such arrangement for their iatisfaclion. • Mr.'RosE did -not think that concession would prove satisfactory to the, Petitioners against the Bill. Sir C. PRICE thanked' the Right Hon. Secretary for his candour, and proposed that the Second read. ing of the Bill should be put 'off till Tuesday. Lord TEMPLE assented; and after a few words ,from Dr. LAWRENCE, the second reading was put off to Tuesday next. Mr. ALEXANDER brought up the Report' of the Committee relative to the Postage of Letters to and from Gibraltar.—The Resolution was agreed to, and a Bill ordered accordingly. Mr. ALEXANDER obtained leave td bring in a Bill for confirming the agreement between the Com missioners of the Treasury and the Duke of Grafton. The House went into a Cot inittee on the Excise- Office Regulation Bill.--The Report was afterwards brought up, and ordered to_ be taken into farther consideration'on Wednesday next. The Customs' Fees Bill passed through a Corn mittee—to be reported on Monday. The Additional Assessed Taxes' Bill was read a second the, and ordered to be committed on Mon= day._ _ _ Mr. HUSKISSON gave notice, that he should on Monday move that it be an instruaion to the Com mittee on the Bill, that they have' power to divide the part for imposing an Additional Assessed Tax From that which was to 'afford relief to persons hav ing families.—Adjourned to Monday. . _ . , MAILS. .

SOLE S 4 QUIS DIZSRZ FALSUM. AUDIAT ? LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 14, 1806. Wa haVe this 'day made some Extracts from the Hamburgh Mail , the substance of which we yes terday laid before our Readers, and also from the French and Dutch Papers which arrived last night, the formtr of which are of the 6th, and the latter of the 10th inst. The account given in the former 'French Papers of the failure of the attempt made by the British Squadron- upon the Island of Capri, in the Bay of Naples, appears to be unfounded. The attack was completely successful ,; and it is stated, but we believe without any truth, that as soon as the Victors got possession of the Island, they hung the Governor and six of the principal Inhabitants. Tnz misunderstanding between His Illajesty's Mi nisters and the East.lndia Company, we are glad to find islikely to . terminate in the most.amicable manner. The Earl of LAUDERDALE, it seems, unwilling to press the point, has signified his desire that he may no longer be an obstacle to the restoration of harmony ; and another person will, of course, be appOinted, who may be acceptable to all parties, and whose abi lities will qualify him to do 'honour to the situation and service to the Country. A Debate took place yesterday' in the House of Lords upon the Mutiny Bill containing the Clause proposed by Mr. NV,INDIIA M. The Bill was agreed to by a majority of 57. At the conclusion of the Debate, Lord GRENVILI.E' gave notice that he should on Friday next move the House.to concur with the House of Commons in their Resolution respedling the Abolition of the Slave Trade. NAkA I, A' R ir g. PORTS,SiOUtti, JUNE' -13.-A Frigate and a Sloop of Wae, with -twelve Or fourteen Sail Of Merchant- Ships, are come to the Motherbank, said'to be .from the Meduerraneatt.

Came into Harbour frOM SPithead La Volontaire Frigate, lately arrived froth Cape of GOod Hope. Yesterday evening, at her moorings at Spithead, she accidentally caught fire in the bread-room, which is very near the magazine, and excited a con siderable alarm among the Men of War in the road stead ; but by the exertions of the crew it was soon got under, without doing much damage. Among the Fleet frond the Mediterranean are ,the ../Etna Bomb; Lient. YULE HALL ; 'Chat ham, `YELLER ; Crescent, Gussos and Rose, HAK, RISON.

Sailed the Meteor Bomb to moor on the Ridge, and the Seagull Sloop of War on a Cruize off the Galloper. Sailed through the Downs the Paxton, BALSTOII, for Demerara. Arrived the . Kangaroo Sloop ,of War from a Cruize, and remains in the Downs with the rest of the Ships as per last. - It is currently repotted here, in the Nautidl cir cles, that the Downs is shortly to be the rendezvous for sit; Sail of Russian Line of Battle Ships ; three large Americans are 'just gone through the Downs, steering Westward. ,The night before last no less.than nine Privateers were seen by our Fishermen clearing out of Calais Harbour ; but fortunately the Boulogne Squadron were beating up Channel, which the Frenchmen perceiving, they dropped anchor in their Harbour, and remained the whole of the night inactive. Much alarm is apprehended for the . safety of our Fisheries, which will certainly be much annoyed, if not lantly watched and convoyed against these Priva leers and Row-boats. His Highness of GLOUCESTER is shortly expected here to receive the compliments of the Officers, and review the'Third Regiment of Guards, to ,the corn,. mand of which he has lately been appointed by His 'Majesty. . The Bellona, Cox, is arrived at Liverpool; from Jamaica : she parted from the Fleet the middle of April, with a division of about ten sail ; among them the Elizabeth, Roßsow, Harry, HUNT, Surprize, M`FARLANE, and William, LOVETT, for Liverpool; Chord, ELLis, Of Bristol ; Defiance, MrtAucHLIN, Phwle, JONES, Nile, jAmtmo, iurora, STRINGER,. and Parthean, MOSES, Ihr London._ Shortly after parting fell in with .a Felucca and two Schooner Privateers, which the A rme d Ships beat off; but the William, LOVETT, being a heavy sailer, was captured : the Bellona parted, from the remainder on the 12th of May, off Berthuda.

COCHRANK MASQUERADE.—The March ion ess of LANSDOWNE entertained her friends on Thursday in a very magni ficent style, at her house in Berkeley-square. A great number of the higher orders were invited on this oc casion, all of whom, of course came in masquerade attire. , Many of the charaders were novel, gro tesque, and highly whimsical. They were in general supported' with considerable humour. The beautiful lawn before the house was decorated in a very ele gant and fanciful manner, and the whole. formed a scene of Arcadian elegance. The mansion itself was also superbly illuminated, and beautifully embellished. The PR/14C.E of WALES and a large party of his friends supped together, and the repast consisted of every thing rare and luxurious that the season could aftbrd. Dancing, music, &c. engaged the Company till a very late hour in thu morning. Mr. MORLANIY, of Pall-Mall, was lately elegy ed Chairman of the British ..Fire-OtEtce, in tLe rooLn,of thelate .

Madame SCHIM SIELPE!ININCK will also soon take her departure.. , t The period approaches' when we shall he made fully acquainted with the future political 'des tiny of this country. 'The. eircumspetlion and defe rence which ought to govern Public Journals, with respect to the secrecy which those who guide the helm of the State judge necessary to be preserved until their measures are completely ripened, have, hitherto induced us to allude to this subject only in a very indefinite manner. • We l can now, however, speak somewhat more positively. A Courier 'from the Batavian Deputation at. Paris brought dispatch es yesterday for the Grand Pensionary. . We now learn that his Imperial Highness Prince Louis, who has in the Paris Papers been named King of Hol land, will on Thursday, Or on Friday morning ati farthest, arrive at the house in the Wood, acconi .panied by the Princess his wife. Alter passing some time there, these illustrious persons \. ii', proceed on a new journey to Aix-la-Chapelle, or the Southern Provinces of Franee: they will next go . to Paris, to attend the tstival in honour of the last Campaign, and finally return to this :.!ountry. Preparations are' now making with great activity for the reception of their Imperial HighneSses„ • To-day or to-morrow we expea Vice-Admiral VEaHEva. here on his return from Paris. We also. ' expea a 'Chamberlain of Prince Louis, and several Officers of his Suite. Only a very few Dutch Troops are left to do duty at the house in the wood. it is said, that within a few days- twciCompanies of French Troops arrive to garrison this place, and to serve 'along with the Batavian Troops 'as Guards of Honour to Prince Louis. . * JUNE 9. General JANSEN, Governor of the Cape, arrived here yesterday ; and we learn that the remainder of that garrison is landed upon some part of the coast. The following is the answer of their High Might' , nesses .to the Letter of J. C SCHIMMELPENNINCk, on the subje6t.of his resignation i—Four of the eldest, Members of the Assembly, M. M. WHERTs, Busn, VAN : HENGST, and TWENT VAN RAAPIViitST, with the Recorder, were commissioned, in the name of the Assembly, " to assure his Excellenev, that they had been penetrated war' real regret on'heing informed of his retirement from public buxiiiess ; acid that their concern, upon this occasion, was so much the more lively, as ,the unsettled state -of his Excellency's, health, and the diminution of his sight, hadnbeen no ?nconsiderable motives: That the Assembly, from several other reasons, besides the terms in which his Excellency's Letter was 'expressed, were fully convinced that his Excel lency's determination was immutably and irrevoca-, bly confirmed ; and, consequently, that-nothing was left to theM but to acquiesce in the same, and to express their regret for its necessity. • That the Assembly had, nevertheless, witnessed with pleasure those feelings which animated his Excellency in this instance; and were happy in hav ing testified their confidence and esteem tor him upon so 'many occasions ; that neither time nor circum stances would alter their sentiments ; that th e y were happy in the present opportunity of expressing their esteem; and wished for nothing - more cordially .than that 'his Excellency should be restored to his former health, and that, in its future permanence, he should be enabled to experience all the pleasure resulting from the consciousness of having deserved well of his country—a consciousness' wjiich is the dearest reward of an , elevated and noble mind. (Signed) "C. DE VO3 VAN STEENWYK." NAPLES, MAY 19.—Eyery thing goes on, well here'; a number of .English Vessels continue to land some of the banditti, who are generally repulsed by the country people, now organized as a national guard. A better disposition cannot be shewn than that which animates the people of this kingdom ; and it would be difficult to form an idea of the hatred they entertain against the English ; a sentiment in which they partake ,with all the people of Europe, who are convinced, that, if it were not for English politics the , present generation might live in peace apd tranquillity.

GENOA, MAY 24.—Letters from Naples , announce, that three English Ships have seized upon the Island Of Capri ; that eighteen men and two Officers, be longing to the Enemy, together with the French Commandant of the Fort, had been killed in this affair. It is added, that, aim* as soon as the Eng lish disembarked, they hung six of the "principal per sons in the Island, including the Governor. 'These atrocities are certainly dictated by the spirit which sacrificed the vietims at Naples in 179 g. FROM THE MAIN, • MAY 3 3 .-- 7 The Paris Journals speak of a Plan for a new Constitutibn for Germany, the Author of which .is said to be a French Minister, very much esteemed at one of the German Courts. The produliou of this Plan is expeded very shortly at Ratisbon. Marshal BERNADOTTE has not yet evacuated Anspach, but he is very shortly expe6ted to do so. MENTZ, MAY 24.—A new Convention was con cluded at Paris on the 2 ISt. inst. according to which Germany is to receive a ‘ new constitution. The Fortress of Wesel is now, put upon a respeaable footing. FLORENCE, MAY 16.—The little FortreSs of Civi tella del Fronto, in the Abruzzo, surrendered , on the 2gth ult. to the French General FEEGCVILLE. The Garrison were made prisoners of weir; the' nsur gents found have been . put in irons ; and their Chief, BOSCA, has been concluded on an ass to the prison at Naples. VIENNA, Aay 24.—Not a fortnight ago e ver y body here believed that a general Peace would soon be concluded ;, but opinioni have now clymged to the 'opposite .extreme, and 'we' are ,pain in fear of a gene gal o hosiiiitieS, or at teasi Schad ii6* ciisab Vie= meat. Our Collier; so much . talked_of, and sJ anxiously ekpeCted; is not yet attiVed ; hhd hiabi other clouds appear to obscure the ‘politital horizoii of this country. We are to-day assured tly t thti Court of France, having been informed of a n ew Treaty of Alli a n ce between Russia and the Porte; has sent a Courier to me e t Morin &TEND', and to signify to him that he Will not be recerred at Paris: The reason assigned for this is, that the Emperor NAPOLEON, not doubting cif the facility ofthe Porte to.grant whatever he should-demand, had required the cession of the .111orea; and all the other con.; quests which the' Ottoman Porte had anciently made from the Republic of Venice---:consequently; Candia; Corfu, &c. This demand, it is said ; irrhai cd the,Divan to such a. degree ; that it came to a Re-, Solution without hesitation ; 'and the Alliance whit Russia. offering at least a powerful protection, and_ consequently a chan ce o f esca p e, i t threw itself ' i - ntd the arms of that Power, and the Treaty was imme diately concluded.-- , lt is believed that this im-; portant event; of w hich no person appears to, doubt,. will have serious consequences for the Court- of Vienna ; for it is feared that this Treaty will engage Russia to prote& the Porte with all its means, andl . that it will in consequence refuse the evacuation of Cataro.

It was what is termed a Ticket-night,' and the house was crowded... At the end of the Play Mr. KEMB LE came . f orwar d ; an d i n a brief; terse, and elegant speech expressed the . usual thanks of the Proprietors and: Performers 'tor the liberal patronage which the public had shewn throughout the season,' and promising a full exertion of these endeavours to merit future proteakin and encourage - meat. There seems to be no occasion for the coup tinuance of this dull formality. The publi c atten d the Theatre to 'please themselves, and e , ,t the last . bight a motley crowd attend, whO perhaps have never visited the Theatre through the,seasOn. We had not room yesterday to notice a littlo Musical Farce which was brought forward s for the first time, on Thursday night, at the Flay -market Theatre, under the tide of Catch Hint Who Can.—, It seems to have been chiefly intended to shew the versatility of MATHEWS ; he pdrformed the part of it • servant, who is constantly employed in preventing his master from being taken by the Officers 01 Jlh.' tire, in consequence of his having' dangerously - , wounded his rival in a duel. He is engaged also in several whimsical attempts to deliver a letter to the fair obje& of his master's affedions. THEWS assumed various disguises ; and acquitted himself very ably. LISTON also is entitled to great praise for the-humour he displayed in the chara&er of a conceited sentinel. The Piece possesses some :whim, but abounds with too many puns not remark-. able for novelty.. The overture and songs do credit to the veteran flooE, to whose younger son' the Piece is attributed. It was very well received on. Thursday, and was repeated lak night with unabated success. Lady CHARLOTTE FINdH is So much indisposed at her apartments in St. James's Palace, that the bandl . who, attend the Guards while relieving in the Palace- , yard haVe not played for several mornings past, by command of the DUKE of CAMBRIDGE. On Tuesday evening a tremendous storm of thun- , der and lightning, attended with incessant rain, \vat experienced,at Doncaster, and lasted about an hour, The flashes, which were extremely vivid and forked ; were so rapidly succeeded by the most awful peals of 'thunder as to indicate impending danger; but hap pily we 'have not heard of any mischief being done in the neighbourhood, At Sheffield, the lightning struck the house cf Mr. George Shepherd, Crooks Muor. The Clash entered the room where Mrs. Shepherd and Miss Barber, a visitor, were sleeping, shivered two of the bed-posts, and tore the curtains to rags, without in.- - juring either of the Ladies, who, in the moment of alarm,. leapt upon the ,floor, and the bed instantly broke down. The lightning then passed through 'several other chambers and the lower rooms of the house, melted a bell wire, rent the plaster and paper from the walls, and perforated a lead cistern tilled with water, which all ran out.. The room is which the servant girh; slept was almost the only one: in the house that escaped. An alarining .fire broke out, at Edinburgh, en Monday about eleven o'clock, forenoon, in that hous'e, near the East quay, known by the name of MtFarlane's Land." As the building . was very old, and mostly of wood within, the progress of the flames was so rapid that nt:lwithstanding eterr pos sible exertion by the engines it soon became the prey, of the devouring element. The adjoining houses too were only saved by the utmost activity from the same fate. By this 'melancholy accident not fewer than sixteen poor families were burnt out, to the clothes upon their backs; and some of theta with difficulty escaped with their lives. .4; 1 >ti.
