Lord (VALSINGHAiIi said, he -was authorised by his Noble Friend (Lord HAWKESBURY) to State; that he was unable to attend this evening to make the Motion of which he had given notice, for a Vote of Thanks to Lord Collingwood, and the Offi'- cers and Seamen under his command, but that he would be in his place on Monday, when he would give notice of another day; for the purpose of bring ing that Motion before the House. Lord HOLLAND. said, he was requested' by a Noble Earl (CowesE), who was prevented by a slight indisposition from attending this day in his place, to state, that for obvious reasons it was not the intention of his Noble Friend to briog forward, on Monday, the Motion of which he had given no tice, respeeling the present situation of the Coun-• try, but that he would bring it before the House shortly afterwards.. He therefore moved, that the Order for summoning their Lordships on Monday ... should be discharged. • The Duke of NORFOLK expressed his _surprise that no reason should have been assigned, fur . the absence of the.NosleLord (HAWK ESDIYRY) on this eveuing, when he had promised to bring forward a Motion fora Vote of Thanks. to Lord eollingwood, and the gallant 011icers and brave Seamen under his commano.. lie could - not help •at the same ;time thinking. that such a Motion would have come ,with more propriety and'efteet from the First Lord of the Admiral , or froM any of those persons who had very_properly been made Members of that House on t of their - eminent services to the Country, ;cif whom'he then saw around him. He did ` . l hinitelf competent to the task, but he could ,-• , not • avoid amain expressing his regret that such a Motion should be put off, without any reason being assigned for the absence of the Noble Lord who had promised tb bring the subject before the House. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, he would ven titre to state to the House, that the conduet of the Noble ,Lord (H.twxxsautty) upon • this occasion would be found to be diaated by the most pure and gennine.resped for the gallant persons who were the objets of his intended Motion, and the respeetable profession, to which they belonged. - - .7', -' . A short explanatory conversation ensued bet Ween the Duke of NORFOLK, Lord HOLLAND, and Lord 3VALSINGIIAM, relative to the point of form With respeel to postponing the . Motions ; after which the Order for summoning their Lordships on Monday was discharged.

Ordered to be .entered on the Journals. Mr. JouNsoN, from the Office of the Chief Secre tary of State in Ireland, presented at the Ear the 2 tst Report of the Commissioners of Accounts in that Country.—Ordered to lie on the Table. LORD NIELVILLE. A Dless3ge from the ,tords communicated a copy of the Auswcr of Lord Melville to the Articles of Impe3chtneut exhibited aguinit him by that House, with - direaiorts that it should be left.. • • On the Motion of Mr. WITITMIT;AD, the Answer was read. It stated that the Noble Viscount, saving and reserving to himself all Just and legal exceptions Which Can be made to the matter and term of these article;, tog-ether with the advantage aids privileges as a Peer„ cloth alledge that he is not guilty of all, or any, of the misdeed; and misdemeanours charged upon him in the said. Articles, and that he is ready to prove his innocence in such manner and form as their Lordships shduld think proper to award. The -Answer concludes according to the Usual form,, praying that the accused may. be discharged forthwith, and at:- quitted of the charges advanced against him. This ans.ver was, on the Motion of Mr. WHIT BREAD, referred to the Committee appointed to con duct the. Impeachment of Lord Melville; with orders that they should•consider of a reply thereto, and report the same to the House, together with - a 'state ment ofwhafiS'proper to be done towarasilie further proceeding thereon. Mr. W. DICKINSON gave notice, that he should on Monday next bring forward a Motion as to the number of Seamen and Marines necessary to be pro vided for the service of the current year. A Person from the commissioners of Inquiry in Ireland presented at the Bar an Account of the Fees and Emolutnetits received by 'the Clerks.of certain Offices ih that Country.—Ordered )to lie on the Table and to be printed. Lord CA sTLzitE Ati u, adverting to the notice which he had given for this day relative to a Vote of Thanks to the Officers, Seaman, and Marines engaged in the ACtion of Trafalgar, stated that as it was ide sirable to . have a full attendance upon such a subjeci, he felt tht propriety of postponing it to another time, when it could' be discussed with more conve nience to se';-eral Members. The Noble Lord, how 'ever, Intimated his intention of briag,-,ing fonc-Irici . ..‘.lotiori' on au early day, and stated the Vroba bility that lie should on .Moilciay neat mention tlit di.w. • ' •Loß,t) WELLESLEY. Mr. PAULL gave notice that he should, on Wed nesday next, submit a Motion to the House, on the subjea of a lettet addressed by Lord Melville, on the--Mh of-June, 1801, to the Chairman - of 'the :Court of Directors, relative to the dubs / tif the India Company. When this notice was entered, , the Hon:Member announced his intention of Moving on Monday for the prodation of certain.otherPapers. . . The Sr EAKER asked the lion. Member to state the nature 'of.the Papers he alluded - to. Mr. PAuLL replied, that they would relate to the Charges against Marquis Wellesley, of , which he be had given notice in the course of the last Sessions, and which it was his intention to bring for Ward 'on ail early day. Mr. PITT. The lion. Mr. LASCELLES gave notice, th:nt he sli6uld, on Monday, bring forward a Mul ion which relat4l to a sublea that had caused the greatest grief and melancholy throughout the Country : he meant --tho death of that illustrious PerAbnage the late CHAN CELLOR of the EN.CHEQUEIt. It WiAS Ilk intention, he said, to move;• " That some signal mark of pub lic respea should be shewn to the memory of that great man The House , resONed in a Committee pf Supply ; apd, after reading the. Estimate referred to it of the Sumi necessary for ,the Public Service, it was or , tiered, " That a Supply should be granted to His Majeßp - The House resumed, and the .Report of the Committee 'was ordered to he brought up to morrow. Lora, C4STLERE4GII, alluding to a Motion of which - a Noble Lord (H. PETTY) had given notice for Monday, rose to inunire whether it was the in tention of that Nobles Lord tp bring it for Ward ; ?.r At the time the notice was given', he observed that the Noble Lord did not seem dispased to press the question upon that precise day. As amatter of'per sobal convenience to himself and other friends, who certainly would be ill able to, enter into the discus sion Of Such a subjea on Monday,- he hoped the Noble Lord would agree to a farther postponement. Mr.. Fox ,assented to the propriety of the past poneMent 'required, for the reasons alluded to by the Noble Lord. It was no doubt highly desirable that the consideration of the question to which the Noble Lord referred should take place on an 'early day. He knew that it was. his Noble Friend's in tention to bring . it 'forward as early as possible, but Certainly not on. Monday. Adsei 7 ting. to the notice of Mr.-DASGELLES for that day, Mr. Fox submitted whether it wouid not be nvere proper topostpone that notice until after the discussion of the Motion proposed by his .Noble Vriend,: which . naturally claiMed the . precedency. He felt, howeVer, that it was not for him to dictate to the lion. Gentleman; but it was for that llun. Gentleman, and those who thought with him, to consider whether the . -- lotion they had it in contemplation to bring forward might not involve points, the discussion of which would more properly belong to the question announced by his Noble Friend—whether, in it.,,ipight not , he of such a nature s man:: Gentlemen could not assent to, without a gross violation of their public duty. - • Adjourned till to-morrow (this day.)

The Eleaors of Bavaria and Wur:oinburgli were proclaimed Kings on the of this month, at which 'time BONAPAItTE was 4it Munich. Two new Elec tors are also to be created in the persons of the Duke of Butixswrox and the Prince of. firisSE DARMSTADT. The two latter Princes are attached to the interest of tile KING of P.RnsszA, 'and we should not be-surprised to find that they are exalted ler the express purpose of turning the eleaion in favour of the.KTNG of PitusslA, if he should be in clined to" become a Candidate for the Dignity of King of the Romans, with the view of succeeding, .at a future period, to the Imperial Diadem of the Roman Empire, Which has long been the favourite obje& of the Court' of Berlin. Lord LlArtitownY had left Berlin, and may be speedily expel ed in this Country.. The British Troops in the North of Germany had .receivedorders to re-embark.

Ur.' H. LASCEJ.VES .(and not Gen. GASCOYNE, as We'anticipated yesterday) gave notice last night in the House of Commons, of his intention to move, on Monday, that some signal mark of public respect should be shewn to this Memory of Mr. PITT. The intended Motions in both Houses respecting the present' situation of the Country, which stood fur ilionday, were postponed sine die. It is with equal astonishment and regfet that we 6nd that it is the intention of Mr. Fox and his Friends to oppose the Motion of which Mr. LAs cimhEs has. given notice. for Monday. Whatever our opiniOn may be of the political,condua of the Opposition, 'we' really did think they would, upon this melancholy occasion, have aaed in 'a very dif ferent, and in a much more honourable manner.-- We' did hope that the honours which we have no doubt will b.e paid by Parliliment to the uwr&ory of the great departed Statesman Would have been vot ed unanimously. But the hostility of the Party, it seems, follows Mr. Purr to his grave, and an attempt is to be made to withhold those honours So amply merited : by a life devoted to the service of his Country. We entertain nO doubt, however, that the Motion will he .carried by a large majority, as every man who loVed and supported Mr. Paw while he lived, and who reveres his 'Memory, now that he is no more, will; ,of 'course, attend unen so interesting. an occasion.' THERE are various reports in circulation with re sped to new - Ministurial Arrz;ngctuents, but nothing decisive has as yet taken place. We can only stare that. His MAJESTY came to Town this mornitag to hold a Council, which was sitting when this Pape'r was put to Press. Yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, the PIZINCE of WALES any! DUKE of YORK arrived at Windsor from town, and returned again at half past four in the afternoon. Yesterday morning, at ten o'clock, the DUKE of I CA tir.DGE arrived at Windsor, from town. Dui of cu:NIBERLAND left Windsor at half past eleven o'clock, for town._ The PRItiCESSES AUGVSTA, SormA, and 'AMELIA., attended by General FITZROY and Colonel DESB R ow, took an airing on horseback in Windsor Great Park. INuaA.---By private letters from Befigal We learn that the indigo crop this season has been abun dant, and of excellent quality. It is computed that the exportation cannot be less than . 60,000 maunds (a tnauud is 701 b.), which is nearly equal to the ex portation of the two last seasons put together.--. Luckily the Arabs have purchased between 6000 and 7000 maunds, which is out of the Europe mar ket, and promises to open a new channel for that commodity, as well as ad our European articles. The Persians used fbrmerly to - be supplied from the upper Provinces of Hindustan ; but the warfare there, and mere 'particularly the exa6lionS of intermediate petty Soverel , zns, have prevented the indigo from going by land, and obliged the purchasers to come round, and supply themselves in the Calcutta market. This gives the Bengal indigo a chance of competition'very favourable to it, as well from its quality, as because it can bc,. supplied much cheaper to the Persians by sea than by its limner tedious laud carriage. In this way, tep, the injudicious exactions of the native Princes will punish itself, by the total loss of a con siderable branch of revenue. From the tenor of the last dispatches from India it. appears, that it was the intention of Marquis CoaxwALLts, ,as soon as he had restored tranquil lity in the inland provinces, to station the greater part of.the British Troops at the most accessible parts of fbe Malabar coast The objed of this arrange ment is variously represented : by - some it is sup posed to be merely a measure of precaution against any sudden descent on the part of a French force, while by others it is conceived to be preparatory to the effibarkation of a formidable body . of Troops to be sent on an expedition against the Isles of France and Bourbon. The Naval part of this Expedition it is said, be under the condula of Sir EDWARD PELLEW. According to scnne private letters, that Officer was already employed in colleding the dif ferent Ships of War in the Indian Seas, with a of escorting the intended Armament. A dispatch from Mr. EwEit, the Company's Resident at Ben coolen, dated June 5, says, that a French Frigate had appeared that place, and had taken and plun dered a native vessel. The French gave up the ves sel to the-crew, but left them only three days pro visions, and laid them under an injunction to steer for the Smits of Sunda. Apprehensions were en tertained that some French emissaries from the .7.lau thins were designed to be sent ashore on, the North West Coast, in order to excite divisions among the N:itive friendly tt3 the 41v:tests of th.o FIRST OF THE 11.1134 - I;URG Am]Ls VIENNA, DEC. te.—We learn that the Ethpera!
