Mr. WALLACE adverted to the Papers laid be fore. the House some time since, on the Motion ,of an Hon. Gentleman opposite (Mr. PAUL), on which that Hon. Gentleman had founded statements tend ing to censure the condua of the Government of India, and particularly the condud of the, Noble Marquis lately at the head. of that Government, re lathe to the Nabob of Oude. He rose now to move for other Papers connected with this subje&, and necessary to a full and fair view of the whole I transaftions. He had 410 doubt that the result of I the examination of all the •documents would have the eifea of doing away the charges;and explaining the condua of the. Noble Marquis to . the satisfaaion of the House.' He ,concluded with moving, •That that there be laid before the House Extras from the Letter •of the Governor-General in Council, dated Bengal, 2ist August, 1786 e: to the. Secret • Committee of the Court of Directors; relative to the continuance of the Company's Troops at Putty ghur ; also, ,a Copy -of a letter of the Governor . General,' dated 21st July, , 1787, concerning the Company's relations with the Nabob Vizier. These Papers, with several of subseeinent - dates, down to 1796, on the same su*:a, were ordered. Mr. PAUL complained,. that many of the Papers relative to this subje&, ordered on his Motion seven months,since, were not yet before the House. Mr. WILLACE said, it was under 'the serious consideration of thb Board of Controul, to whoSe . cration this important charge was committed, what . part of the Pipers` moved for by the Hon. Gentleman coUld be produced imitl , tout pUblic mischief., He as 7 stared the Hon. Gentleman, at the same time, that it was the wish of the Board to give every possible 'information consi,,tent with the trust reposed in them. It was then ordered, •on the Motion of Mr. WA L . 'LACE ; .that there be laid before . the House, a Copy 'of - a Draft of a Letter of the Court of Directors an nulling the appointment of HENRY 'WELLESLEY as Lieutenant-Governor. • This Letter had been sub witted to the Board' of Controul, who had not given permission to send it, therefore it was described as a Draft of a Letter. • PROVISION FOR LADY NELSON: Lord CASTLZREAG/I appeared at the Bar, with a Message from Ills MAJESTY, which waS delivered in, and read from the Chair by the SPEAIUR as fol• ~10 s 4.

WE stated on Friday that some difficulties sub sisted with respeEt to the New Ministerial Arrange ment, and we have reason to believe that they were not entirely removed at the interview which Lord GRENVILLE had with His MAJESTY on Saturday evening. We do not pretend to affirm that we are acquainted with all the points upon which these 'difficulties have ariSen,but we understand that one of. theiri relates to some regulations and alterations which - it was proposed to make in the Military Department. Our Readers will recolle6t, that during the last and preceding SessiOns of Parliament, the Opposition, upon different occasions, suggested the propriety of appointing a Military Council, consisting of General' Officers, to assist the Commander in Chief with . their advice. This plan, it is said,- has , beeli again suggested, and has,. we believe, in a 'great degree occasioned the delay which has taken place. Lord GRENVILLE, however, will have another audience of His MAJESTY to-day, the result of which we shall lay before our Readers to-morrow. Yesterday morning ;..,ord HAWKESBURY was with His INIA JESTY, at the Queen's. House His Royal Highness tile DUKE of YORK also was with the Kir almost "tl.e whole afternoon. At eight o'clock, again Lord HAWKE:BURY was with HIS MAJESTY from eight o'clock tiil.:ll2te hour. ,The proposed List of the kkew Administrai: -, il which we published on Saturday is, we believe, correel in -every particular as far as it goes are, however, a few omissicins, Lord Mr ti 1, President of the Board of Controul.: Mr. ,Sti za :DA , Treasurer (gibe Navy. Mr. T Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. • And Lord ST. VINCENT is to have a most extensive Naval Counnan'd, including that of the Channel Fleet. ' It has been stated in several of .the l'apers, that Lord ..tivf,F,Nhon . oi.Jcn is to be .Speaker of the House of Lords this IS, not correEt. His Lordship's pro fes::;ional.' avocations - would render it almost impos, sible for ,him- to till that office:. Mr. EIZZ'i4NI, as Lord Chancellor, of course be Speaker of the .c of Lords. We shall refrain from offering any, observations upon the New Administration until they shall haie 'received His MAJESTy's approbation. We shall then consider it as a duty to our Readers to state,, explicitly, the sentiments we entertain, and the line of condud which, at this most important junatise, we mean to pursue: We may,-however, even in the pre sent stage of the business be permitted to observe, that, the proposed plan of the New. Administration goes to the exclusion of every one of Mr. Vrierkcis,. without a single exception. It cannot be forgotten how vehemently the Friends of LorA GRENVILI• E .• and Mr. Fox reprobated what they lermed a systei, , t ;- of exclusion, although there .was only slpposed to be an objeaion to the introduaion. of one individual to the Cabiuet. Feu R Ha 77/ burgh Nails arrived, yesterday, being all that were prevuiusly due. P4ris Popc.-s also, reached-us to the 24th ult: and Dutch, Journals to the 28th: vinces. The French Troops were retiring from the AUs-. trian States ; they had quitted Bohemia, Moravia, Hungary, and on, the Leth ult. they evacuated Vi- The FAl , Eitoti of AUSTRIA was expetaed to. make his entry into his Capital on the 16th. It ap pars, however; that ,a large body of French Troops were to retnilln iii Germany, The Division of Auo BEAU, W - t;; stationed in Besse Darmstadt, was to bpreinforced by 15,000 men, and placed under the • - command of LANNE'6. It is also stated, that 1 2,000 French Troops were to remain in Bavariii; 1 3 V - url temburgh, Baden, 16 be paid ari'd vbsisted ley these Countries. The KINGS of BAVARIA and WWI- Tzmr,tinox will thus pay dear for their newly as sumed Regal Dignities. The,real object of •so large a body of French Troops remaining in Germany is probably to keep Prussia in cheek, in case that Power should'evince any hostile spirit.. The hints thrown out in the Continental Journals render it more and more evident that an. attempt will, ere lcng, be made, at least_ to wrest some 'of the Turkish Provinces from toe Ottoman Porte; if not entirely to dismetriber the Empire. We are told, in elle of tie German Journals, that the Star of Austria is to become more resplendenc than ever, and that the Crescent is, about •to be obscured ; in plain English, that Austria is to be indemnified out s of Turkey for the- Territories which France has choSen, to take from her. The old stories of InsurreCtions in the Turkish Provinces, Of which recently we have not heard much, are revived, and 119 thit.lbt every advantage will be takes of whatever Anna. spirit of &sal:6ll°n may exist in any of thoselPro- VONAPARTE was to leave Munich on the 20th. The French... Army under the command of; ST. CYR were marching in three c6umns to the Neapo litan Territories. The Letters from N:lples speak of great preparations for defence, but we much fear that scarcely any exertion of skill or bravery could save the Neapolitans from the rapacious grasp 'of the French, particularly as there is great reason to be lieve that the English, Ftussian, , and other Foreign Troops, had re-embarked. A Line of Neutrality is talked of in some, of the German Journals, which is to extend 'from the mouth of the Ems, nearly in a southern dire ion, to Friedberg on the right Bank of the Mein, and from thence through the territories of Wurtzbourgh and Bamberg, including Bayeuth. This morning' we received American Papers to the Bth ult. One of them contains a Atong Memo rial of the Merchants of the City of New York to the President and Congress of the United States, complaining of the obstruelions thrown by .this Country in the way of th&r carrying trade be 'tweet) the Colonies of our Enemies and the Mother Country, which they assert to be just and legal, and , to protea which they pray for 'the assistance of .a permanent Navy. The Memorial is very long, but as it is of considerable importance, 'we shall endea vour to lay it before our Reader's to-morrow. The only other-article of importance in theSe Pa pers is the following, which• is extracted from the .iVeuP=lOrk Advertiser of the 6th - tilt': • • ", Captain Wtt.Ls from Curracoa informs,. that the Island of Aruba, about 30 miles to leeward of Curracoa, had been- taken from the English by a Dutch Sloop of War ; there were eight Spanish Prizes at the Island.

On Saturday morning the Lord Chamberlain, agreeably to the vote of the House of Commons, is sued orders at his Office for the Funeral of Mr. PITT. Mr. FRANCE, jun. His Majesty's Cabitiet-Maker and Upholsterer, and Mr. RUSSELL, His Majesty's Carpenter and Joiner, were sent for, and received their instrudions from Mr. MARSH, the nrincipal Clerk in the Lord Chamberlain's Office. He is to lie in state in the Painted Chamber ; that and the adjoining, rooms through which the Public are to pass are to be hung with black ; a temporary.platform is to be ereard from the:Parliament-house to Poets' Corner door of 'Westminster. Abbey. He is to be bur;ed near the North-door, where his father's monu ment is.

JAN. 17, SOME days 2go nothing was talked of but an im, mediate embarkation of the British TroOs, in con sequence of the arrival of some transports from Eng land ; but it would appear at present that the Army would not.quit the Continent so soon as expeaed, as the division of'the Germm Empire, which 80. . . NAPARTE has schemed out, certainly does not plemet the KING of PRUSSIA, and it is the unanimous opi nion here, that he will not permit thp English Army' .to be,.<re-shipped before an arrangement be - made suitable to his wishes. • . -• The . adVancement of 'the apostate Ele&ors to Regal dignity, and the Vast acquisitions of territory which they have obtained, throws a wonderful balance of power - in favour of France,. and reduces his Prussian Majesty to quite.a cypher on the Con tinent ; yet, whetherle will maintain his dignity, or submit to be wreathed with the galling Gallic yoke, is not yet positively. known. His army is in an excellent situation, well equipped with all the implements of war, and known to possess uncom mon patriotism; so that, should BONAPARTE force him into the field, he will certainly find that kind of. resistance which lie hh.s not been in the habit of ex- • periencing. The EMPEROR of RUS S IA will undoubtedly. support Prussia to the utmost extent of his power; so that, considering his present Political situation on the Con, tinent, he has Certainly much less to fear now : than at any fiture period. It is eXtreinely to be lamented that he hesitated so long to take an aaive part in the present contlid ; a inontk sooner would have de cided the fate. of Europe more to the interest of every man in it. • . General TOLSTOY is expected this evening to ar rive here, but whether on a visit to Lord CAnI CART, cr on military business, is not known. The. reports from .Berlin are extremely, contra. diaory : some affirm that 1-lauoWrrz is dismissed; Others (which I think most likely), mention his de. parture to Paris on a very important commission. No alteration in the position of the British tinny. They are all quite alive here, but provisions of every clekription very dear, but flit; karc3. The Peasantry its the country, and the Trades-people in, are getting rich as fast as possible.- net.

P. S. Since writing tlaa above, I have been fit voured with the following remarks, from good au thority—The modest Usurper insists upon Prussia's. giving up. Silesia to the House of Austria, qs an in, clernnificatiOn for the Tyrol, and to tale Hanover in lieu of it also the Port of•Erribdcn, and the whole 9f East Friesland, to the Dutch ;. for which he pro poses, in return, some part of Holland contiguobi to Prussia. These, and several other changes of an inferior nature, he insists up . on as-a sine qua nop of his friendship. THE OPERA.—The beautiful Opera of Argenide e ,erze had a very splendid and nunic;ous Audience, on Saturday at the King's Theatre.—Mrs. BILLIN6- TON was finely in voice, and .she was most ably se conded by BRP,HA l‘iusic of this. Opera in creases in popularity at every . tepetition.—The PRINCE of WALES and all the Fashionable World. were present. THE THEATRE.—The,Trac r edy of Cymbeline was repeated on. Saturday last at Covent-Garden 'rhea tre.—KEMßLE. was so, much oppressed by a severe cold that he was unable to attempt the part of Post humous, which Was- therefore undertaken at a short notice by Mr. H. SumoNs, from the other Theatre. He performed the charadter so well altogether as to stand in little need of the indulgence which would otherkvise have been due to his sudden assumption of it, and received much applause. --COOKS sufficiently recovered to take the part of lachimo, in which he is more easy than at first —Miss SMITH excited interest and obtained considerable applause in Imogen.—" We Fly 17j Night" detained the whole of the Audience, and strongly operated on their ri sible feelings. Master BETi'Y'S Douglas was well "attended on Saturday at Drury-Lane'Theatre; but the bustle'and competition tol. plaCes are now entirely at an end.— All illiberal opposition to hird is at an end also, for though the applause he received was languid indeed, compared with what it has heretofore been, there was no hostile attempt against him. A very liberal arrangement has taken place . at the Post-office, and was, w•e believe, one of the last acts of the late lamented Premier; throughout every de partment some advance has taken place, and the Clerks, independent of their former chance 'of suc ceeding to situations of more emolument, are now assured of 2001. per annum after 15 years service,and an additional 501. for every succeeding term of five years. The price of dollars has fallen two-pence per. oz. hi consequence of the partial suspension of sp..fcie remittances to the Cont neat, ,and it is .expeded to - be much lower. I
