IMr.' rr,AiltiS 'Mid Mr. StJLTAVA.7I m u tual y - ex plained: - - .Mr. GRANT considered the ;existing agreetnent between the India Company and the Creditors under discussion perfectly legal and hinding, unless super seded by, a superior power. . With regard to the na ture of the claims alluded to, his opinion was, that although they amounted to 5;600,0001. they would be, upon investigation, reduced to one fourth of that sum. The Clauses proposed by the Noble Lord he did not think material. Sir A. WELLESLEY, in : supporting the till, took upon occasion,:to allude, to the remarks made. the recent condua of Sir G. Barlow. The Treaties concluded by that respeaable person were, he had no, doubt, perfealy justifiable under all the circum, stances of thecase.- 7 He was indeed persuaded that the worthy Baronet acted as well as could be re quired or elye6ted in his situation, and that his Treaties were as likely to produce a lasting effea as .any other Treaties in India. But in point. of ac curacy those COmpaas were. not in fact to be deno minated Treaties, as they were nothing more than arrangements made under the measures of the Treaty which he himself concluded before he - left India, and since then he had never heard of any . war with Holkar. He rather thought it would ap, pear that Sir G. Barlow had acted in consequence,of instru&ions from home. Mr. R. THORNTON took upon himself to say, 1 that the Court of Directors highly approved of the . conduct of Sir G. Barlow : that the, Treaty com plained of by the Hon. Gentleman who opened the debate was such as ought to have been made; that' it was a wise Measure, and would prove conduciVe to the purposes of Peace and the interests of the India Company. That such were the sentiments of the . India Company would appear, he could safely krophecy, from the result of the question fixed for ' discussion at the India House on Wednesday next. The Hon. Member added; that Sir G. Barlow aaed • in stria conformity to the principles lupon which Lord Cornwallis was to have proceeded, and also in compliance with instructions from home : therefore be was sure the worthy Baronet Would prove to have deserved the best shanks of the India Company, and also of his Country. Dr. LAWRENCE commented upon what he Ilad no hesitation in terming the scandalous mode in which the debts to which the Bill referred were Originated ; and particularly upon the claiin of Mr. Sulliv~ n, which, as it appeared from an explanation of this evening, arose out of the desire of this Mr. Sullivan to create an undue influence at the India House. It was an insult to the understanding of the people Of Englatid, Or of the India COMpany, to call 'on thern to pay such a claim. What had they to do with it ? And yet the Hon. Gentleman who gave ,the explanation seemed to feel quite satisfied of its equity. The agreement alluded to by the Hon. Direaor . (Mr. Grant) was not, lie was certain, at all such as that Hon. Director described. In fa&, it Was not legally binding unless sanctioned by Par liament. , Lord CASTLEREJTGH did not think. the in terference of Parliament at all necessary to appoint Cornmissioners of Inquiry in thiscase. Such inter ference did not take place with respect in the claims of the American Loyalists, nor in any instance simi lar to the. present, and he could see no reason for the proposition at present. The Noble 'Lord con tended against the authority of the Learned Doc, tor; that the agreement referred to by him was perfe&ly legal. It was concluded between parties in every respe& competent to enter into it . ; and un-: der that agreement those parties might have gone on to the determination of the whole ca s e without re-. sorting to legislative sanaion. Mr. HENRY MARTIN stated; that the Public had a dire& interest, in the Revenue of the East- India Company to the amount of 500,0001. an nually. Neither the Board of Controul, nor the " Court of Dirdaors, therefore, could have any legal authority to interfere with a measure which might naturally affect the interests of the PUblic; Mr. HOBHOUSE, in explanation, declared, that the Commissioners only desired more powers with a view to exclude all fraudulent claims which might be preferred, to enable them to hunt out iniquity through all its mazes, and to render ample justice to the legal and equitable creditor. After sortie - further conversation, the Gallery *vas cleared for a division, but the Bill was read a .. second time by the general assent of the Members present. Mr. tioilliousE obtained leave to bring in a Bill to regulate the Duties on Malt. The Linen DrawbaCk Bill was ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. The other Orders of the Day were then post poned, and the House adjourned at Half past Twelve o'clock: MAILS. - AitaivED—z Duhlin, z Watertinct Du —vFtarnburgh, 4 Gottenburgh, r Dublin, I ‘Vaterford. - PRICE OF 'STOCKS THIS DAY AT TWELVE O'CLMCK. CO:150IS - - 63 ~. 6 & . 5 4 THE SUN. SOLEM QUIS DICERS FA,LSUM AUDILAT LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY a, 1806. 'WE are happy to announce the arrival of the whole of the homeward-bound Leeward Island Fleet, under the convoy of the Amelia, linicorn, and Princess Charlotte Frigates, and the Pheasant and Cy,one Sloops of War. The whole Fleet passed Portsmbrith yesterday, with the exception , of the Ships bound to Bristol and Liverpool. We have received American, Papers to the 6th, ult. and we are happy to find that the clamour which was excited, for Eleecion purposes, in consequence of the death of PEARCE, the American Seaman, has, in a great degree, subsided. That unfortUnate event, it' is: now known, proceeded entirely from accident. The accounts respe&ing Gen. MIRANDA are extremely contradi&ory, It is now said . that he \vas forced to quit the cO4st of cumana by a. .Spa . tri,ll Man•of War . ,-klirig;.iind -a Schci6ner, and that -the whole objea of hiS Expedition had. been defpited. But IVe" -- are 'Stictngly inclined to be= iieve that this repirt, of hiS having been driven from Ctimana; is' the result of n iris-conception of, his plan. He is a •N;ary, As well' as ari enterprising Of ficer, and it is -Very . probable that he landed at Cu-, mama merely' with a view to deceive the Spaniards, and to'draw the chidf part of their fbrce to that place,; and that having, in d great Measure, effeaeci his purpose, be re-embarked and . [;Ushed fort'vard for the•Caraccas. It catinat be supposed that he intended to march to 'the latter •frorn Cumana; • as the distance is near 200, miles, through 'a very difficult way, and in which he would,be exposed to considerable opposition. We, therefore, confidently . expea to find that . his landing at Curnana was a tnerefe!nt, and that by this titne:he has fully ac= complished the object of his enterprise. A report was yesterday circulated, that a May of Peace had actually been, codcluded beteen Great , Britain and France; and eVen the Terms of the Treaty: were published. We . can assure our Readers that there is no foUndatiOn for the report; and that nothing more is known at present than that a Negotiation is pending between the two Countries. Mr. BAsrtaco, the Messenger, sailed on Sunday from Deal for France with Dispatches.— There was another report veil current to-day in the City, stating that the Negotiations With France had met with an unexpeaed impediment, and were ,ac tually broken off. This report produced some de- . presSion of the Funds. We must again assure our • Readers that there is no ground for either of these reports derived from the authority of Ministers, as they have wisely observed an impenetrable silence upon the important subject in question. Sunday evening Windsor Terrace was not so nu merously attended as usual on a Simday, owing to the dampness or the weather. -- 2 Earl DARTMOUTH ar rived in the afteinoon, and walked'on the Terrace with THEIR MAJESTIES. His Lordship left Wind sor y esterday morning. • Yesterday morning , His MAJESTY, Princesses AMELIA, SOPHIA; and AUGUSTA, attended by Lady ELY, Geneials' GARTH and FITZROY, Colonels TAY LOR and DESBOROUGH, rode oat in Windsor Great 'Park, and returned to the Castle about twelve o'clock, owing to the rain coming on: Their MAJESTIES had a Concert in the evening. Mr. Fox was something better yesterday, but we are sorry . to fipd that his complaint is of a very seri ous nature. Count WORON ZOFF, the Russian 'Ambassador 'at our Court, has resigned. We have not heard the name of his successor. Count WonoNzoFF has requested leave to continue to reside, in this country as a private Gentleman,. being very partial to its, manners. Letters received from the Leeward Islands mett' tion„lhe arrival of JEROME.BONAPARTE,-With Squadron under his command, at Cape Francois, 'in the Island of St. Domingo. A Letter 'from Gibraltar, by the Lisbon Mail, dated the 27th 'of Mak, says—:- " 'Our latest accounts from Cadiz state, that they &pea a French Army of 60,600 men in Spain this summer, and the French Agents are now employed in Barbary procuring cattle for their subsistence, and horses to draw their cannon 'and mount their cavalry. The Emperor of Morocco has ganted them cattle and mules, but has refused them horses. Either Portugal or Gilw'altar is undoubtedly their object: The Spa-, niards and French have now twelve Sail of the Line at Cadiz ready for sea, and they are pressing night and day to man them. They have also eight Sail of the Line at Carthagena, but they are in want of seamen. "The Fervent Gun-brig was attacked on the 24th in coming from Tangiers, by some of the Enemy's Gun-boats, and was much crippled in her masts and . rigging : one man was killed, and the Li eu t en a n t and another wounded—the Enemy had six killed and twelve wounded. We have now nine -Gun boats lying here, without a single man being ap pointed to man, them ; so that we had•much better be without them 1- -as they are a great expence, and are now lying . uselegs • lathe New Mole..

The original Ticlet will be deposited at the Stamp- Office, and the chance stamped, so that no fraud can ,be'praitised upon the buyer, as only one chance can be issued for each Ticket. The new Comedy announcedg the Hay Market Theatre,. under the title ,of Pive Miles o t r, or the Finger Post,. is not, as reported,' the produaion . of Mr. CoLmAt4, but comes from Mr. T. lltnnth, a very whimsical and diverting writer.

Capt.

His health was so impaired; by . being confined six months an board the Majestuex and Suffrage, that he came from Tours to Nantz, - down the Loire, in a shallop. He was a witness, - Whilst On board the French Admiral's Ship, of the •,13rae defence made by the Calcutta, Capt WOOD -RIFF, which*was captured by the same Squadron. They • were six months at sea, besides the fifteen days they were watering at Teneriffe and Vigo.— At the latter place Captain COOTE saw the two • French and one Spanish Line-of-Battle Ships which Sir ROBERT CALDER beat. They were rendered quite unserviceable, as there Were no Docks at Vigo in which they could be repaired, and it was impossi ble for them to go to sea without repair. The people of France are prevented by fear from holding inter course with our countrymen there; if they are the least suipeaed of it agehs tliarme enters the house, the person is carried to the TemPle, and never more heard of. The pay of a French soldier is per 'day, 'and his allowance a pound and a half of bread per:day. The English Officers live at a prodigious exvence.• The French, who are wanting in every principle of honesty, if they suspea their guest to be a stranger, exaa - the mast. extravagant price for every article. The Kitty landed nine French Of' ficers at Morlaix : she was only 7 hours on her passage back to Southampton. SPORTIYG :NEVITMARKET lULY NIE . ElilsiG, 1806. MONDAY, JULY 7.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS ; JULY 5. , ' - pICKPOCKETS: Yester'clay Bill Sowles' gang of pickpockets, id eluding himself, IV/ate alias eunkeybe4u, and Dick Hillytfrd, whO were detected ,at the Mar quis of Lansdowne's Masquerade, and coliviCteil be fore Mr. BOND and Sir WILLIAM PARSONS, as re puted thieves, were brOught before the CoUrt for the confirmation of the conviction. Mr. ALLEY, for the Prisoners, took an objetaiori to the conviEtion, as in reciting the preamble of t 1 AR of the 42d of the present King, under which the Prisoners were convieted, the work " 'iiore" was omitted; The Court over-ailed the obje&ion, as there is a very proper clause in the Ad, which enacts, that no conviction. shall be qua Shed on account of any in forinality. • The case proceeded for some time with the evi dence of Captain Townsend and the Officers of Bow- . street, the particulars of which we gave on their convidion at Bow-street; but another onjetaion %- as taken, that the conviction stated that the prisoners had been convided before NICHOLAS BOim and Sir WILLIAM.PAASONS, without stating that they were Magistrates for the County of Middlesex. This the Court, felt themselves. obliged to yield to. One of the Magistrates pointed out another material error in the convietion,. viz. that the prisoners were con vided as not being able to give an , accdunt of them selves; whereas that Was not what they Were charged with. They' were charged with being - reputed thiv.ves; . The 'court, therefore, very reltiCtintly, were obliged to let theSe notorious charaders loose upon the public again. A Letter received from the river Gambia, on the Coast of Africa - , mentions that Mtnioo PARKE, the celebrated. Traveller,. with the whole of his retinue (two or. three only excepted), had been assassinated by the natives in the interior of the Country. This story is stated to have been verified by the arrival of the persons who escaped. the massacre at.Wydah. TRAINING BILL.—The following are the principal prdvisions of this Bill, as it passed the House of Commons : " That His Majesty may order ballotS in any county, and in any proportion : that Parishes may exempt themselves from the , ballot by volunteering to be trained and exercised. and to serve under the same regulations as if they had beat ballotted for: fines to be levied on ballotted men not at. tending ; ballotted ,persons may enter a Volunteer Corps, but they must engage to continue in the Corps for a certain number of months. His Majesty may order persons to 'be trained, and regulate the time and place of exercise. Sun. days excepted as days of exercise, On apprehension of In vasion, His Majesty may embody personsenrolled, and place them in existing fteginients, or assign them to form new Corps. The men may be provisidnally embodied: His Ma jesty to appoint Officers. BOAT-RACE.-Yesterday Afternoon a Prize was started for by the Diana, the Phcebe, and the West moreland (three 4-oared cutters), from the Roebuck, Milbank, through Battersea Bridge, and back again. The prize was.a Silver Cup, given by W.Wheller, the landlord of the house, hnd.the boat that should gain two of three heats was to be the winner. The boats' crews were of that description which is generally term ed Cutter4,ads, that is, a sort of pra&ical amateurs. The Company belonging fo a fourth Boat (the Apollo) wished to become candidates, but the Westmoreland's crew would not' assent to the proposition, on the ground that these were too much of professional men to start among a set of half-brad watermen. The three first-mentioned Boats then rowed for the Prize, but the Diana's men were so much more atitive, and at the same time so cool and steady, that they pulled at least five strokes to either of the others' four.— The Westinore/and and the Phoebe were very near:y equal, and the Diana won the two first heats, by nearly thirty boats lengths each titn‘e.. Monday se'nnight the Court ofKing's-Bench, Dub lin, was occupied in the trial of an anion brought by James Tandy, Esq. of that City, against Braha zon Morris, Esq. -of the County of Meath, for de famatory words.—The words .charged were near ly these : " I was dining in the house of James Tandy, in Dublin, on the 19th of May, f7ge, when a person came abruptly in, and said, We are all undone! Lord 'Edward Fitzgerald is taken; and we have neither money, arms, nor ammunition !' Upon whiCh; observing that the company did not receive what he said with approbation, he said, suppose we are all friends here r —and went out again, and was followed by Mr. Tandy, 'who soon after returned, and desired us not to take notice of what that person said, for that he was a poor flighty man, who knew not what he was *doing." To this charge the Defendant -pleaded the general issue, anda justification of the truth of the Words: The SOLICITOR-GENERAL - stated the Plaintiff's case; several Witnesses were examined, and at four o'clock the trial was adjourned to Tuesday. The trial was resumed -on Tuesday, when wit nesses for the Defendant were examined. Counsel On both sides spoke to .evidence, and the 'Learned Chief Justice changed the Jury at considerable length. The damages were laid at Ten Thousand Pounds. -- , The Jury, after retiring for a few minutes, re turned a yerdia for the Defendant. -‘;') •••
