IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF PEERS. FRIDAY, MAY 2. Their Lordships • met again this day by Speci Adjournment about ten o'clock. All the Peers pro sent wore their Robes of State ; and previous b their being marslided, forwarded several of the Bib upon the Table. They then proceeded in the usu& order, and with the accustomed formalities .9 ; to t 1 High Court of Parliament in Westminster Hall. , About four, o'clock their Lordships returned b their own House, in the usual form 'of processiof, and preceded by several of the Judges and a fey Peers' sons ; they remained in close deliberatio some time, during which the Strangers were stri&y excluded. While the dOors were shut we unde stand it was ordered, on the Motion of Lord GRET viLLE, that the Trial of Vis Count Melville be fa ther proceed.ed Nvith to-morrow ; and that a Mc, sage be 4e:ft to acquaint the cornmOns with tie same. On the doors being opened we found their Lott ships engaged in forwarding the Bills upon the ?}a ble. Among ; these .the - Wine Permanent Dutes Bill, and the AppraiOrs"fax Bill, were severdly read d third time and passed, and MesOges ordered to acquaint the Commons therewith. ' The Admiralty .Offences Bill ; 'the, Lofigittde Discovery Bill; Lord St. Vincetit's'Anhuity, and the London Docks Improvement Bills, were serei rally read a second - time, and ordered to the cqn4i: aeration of Committees of the whole House:. INSOLVENT DEBTORS. Lord HOLLAND presented Petitions from certain Persons confined for clebt.in the County Gaols of Chester, 'Worcester, Surrey, 'and Gloucester, proying relief; and that the Bill now before their Lordships for that purpose may pass into a law. These Peti tions were severally ordered to lie on the Table. His Lordship also presented Petitions to the same effe& from one or two individuals, 'whose names were thereunto subscribed. ,And lastly, a Petition of a similar tendency from certain Persons ccntined for debt in one of the Gaols in the City of Dublin. These were also ordered to lie on the Table. SLAVE TRADE LIMITATION. BILL. • Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL, accompanied by seve ral Members, brought. up .from the Commons. the Slave Trade Limitation Bill. The Bill being, in the course of the proceedings, read a first time, The DUK. of CL.4.I3EXCT rose and addressed the House up o n the subjed ; he' said, the Bill being read a first time the House was regularly in possession of it ; he was aware of its being very unusual in that Honse to offer objeEtions to a Bill on its first read ing, but the present Bill referred to a subje6t of such ' vast importance, and he so strongly felt what the inevitable consequences, should such a Bill be passed into a must be, that he could not refrain from saying a few words upon it in the first instance; 'what he intended to'conclude with now was a Motiod for the printing of the Bill ; and, after the Bill should be printed, disapproving as he did; and hostile as he felt to eilery principle -contained in . the and aware' of the dangerous consequences with which such a measure was pregnant, he should take, what farther steps appeared to him tO be' most likely ar test its further progress, and of this he 'now gave no tice to their Lordships. His Royal Highness con cluded by moving, ".That this Bill be printed." On the Question being put, it was ordered ac cordingly. • . • The Order of the Day fOr the 'farther conside— , ration of the Scots Appeal Cause, Johtlsoo v. Stott, being read, Tiie LORD CHANCELLOR quitted the Wool :sack, and addressed their Lordships upon the merits of the case. •Tlie Noble and Learned Lord con cluded by moving a Resolution, the effeet of which was, to refer back to the Court of Session in Scot land so much of the interlocutor as related to the Cruive Fishing, and to hear the , Parttes in evidence thereon, in order to ascertain the particular species of Cruive Fishing referred to. This, on the Question being put, was ordered ac cordingly and their Lordships, after disposing of ,some routine business, adjourned till the usual hour to-morrow,. preparatory to their proceeding to the High court of I'arliatneut, in WestininSter Hail. HOUSE OF COMMONS. FRMAY, MAY 2 A Message from the Lords announced'their sent to the Appraisement• ,Duty Bill, and the Wine Duty Bill, and also that the Lords would proceed farther in the Trial 'of Lord .111eiv.ille. 'to-4norrow morning at ten o'clock. ' . , Sir JOHN SINCLAIR brought Up the Report of the Committee on the Addition of Salary to certain Scotch Judges,Resolutions read and agreed to, and Bills ordered accordingly. Mr. PAULL observed, that as the Papers relzitive, to the Charge against Marquis \\Wesley, for which it had been his intention to move, Were, be under stood, to be called for by the Diredors themselves, he would . postpone the Motion till Thursday, in order to give them an opportunity of so doing. REGULATION OF OFFICES. Lord HENRY PETTY moved for leave to bring in a Bill to regulate the Office of Receiver-General of Excie. It Was.of the same nature with the Bill that hal passed with regard 'to the Office of Re ceiver-General of the Ordnance. The objet of this, and of the other Bills to bring in which be was aboc ; t to move'for leave, was to give to the Ptiblic the secu rity of having the money lying in the Bank, tattier than in the hands of private ,individuals; The cause of ,the delay in bringing forward these Bills a roe from the difficulties attending the arrangements ne cessary to be made with regard to the interi4 Offi cers, particularly in the department of the Exeise„---. He had to 'state, for the intbrmaticin of the House, that the Bat*, with a view to promote the interests of the publia service, had agreed to. receive the Buis the instant they were,accepted, and to cash then when they-beeame due. It had also . , comented, fir the.iia4:e., of Convenience, to pay those Bills so re ceived in single notes.—He concluded by moving fir Bills to regulate the Offices of the Receivers-Generil or the Excise, of ,the Customs, of the St amp Duties, of the Post-Office, .and of the Office of Surveyor- Gerie'ral Of."the Woods and-POrests, in whit It Office also there were considerable balances....---Leave.gye3 The West India Indemnity fill was• committed, reported, and ordered to be read a third time on Monday. On the Motion of Mr. VANSITTART, the House resolved, on Monday next, to go into a Committee on so much of a certain Ad as related to the Export of Iron. IRON DUTY. Lord HENRY PETTY moved that the House. should resolve itself into a Committee on the Iron Duty Bill. From. the great desire which he- had to gain the most complete intbrmation possible on this important point, lie wished that the discussion upon it should be postponed. He therefore at present hoped that it would be allowed to be committed pro forma,, with a view to its being re-committed on Thursday, before which time he would consider what Amendments might be necessary. Mr. ROSE said, that he was persuaded that no modifications could 'render this Bill palatable, or in any degree fit to be adopted. His objealions to it were not to' be got over. - Mr. WILITaFORCE coincided in sentiment with his Right Hon. Friend (Mr. Rose) ; bUt this was a strong reason - why he should also consent to the proposition made by his Noble Friend opposite to him. For so full of confidence was he in the grounds of his oppOsition to this Bill, that he was sure the more the obje&ions to it were weighed the stronger they would appear. The Tax-would branch out into such a variety of ramifications, and affea such a variety of imp:it - taut interests, that it could not be agreed to. -.Haying said‘this, he agreed to allow the Noble Lord the delay which he .had asked ; and he had no doubt that the Noble Lord himself would be better prepared 'to discuss the subjeal, at a future peri9d, 'and to.perceive,the force of the objeaions to it. He therefore gloly -acceded to his desire of an opportunity. of re-censidering it. Those who op posed the TaK would lose no opportunity of stating their objeftions. They would lose no stage of the' Bill, and might afterwards objet to the Spealer's leaving;the Chair. They would, in the mean time, have an opportunity of gaining information on points which might otherwise remain doubtful, such as the drawbacks, &c. It was the interest of all, there 'fore, to accede to this proposition. Lord AtteimiALn FlAsuLToisr agreed that the more this Bill was considered the more obje&ionable it would appear. At the same time he thought it his duty to pretes.t against this TaN. on every occa sion. Mr. VANSTTTART acquiesced in the proposition of the Noble Lord the more willingly, as statements bad this day been made respeffing the Tax Which required consideration. The Bill was then committed pro forma, reported, and ordered to be re-committed on Thursday. SLAVE TRADE. Mr. WILBERFORCE, in 'consequence of a dif ference of opinion which took place' last night on a matter of fa& respeaing the Slave Trade, thought it was necessary for him, in support of his opinion, to move for certain Papers. It had been stated, that a very considerable Trade in Slaves had existed for a longtime between the Merchants of this Coun try and the Spanish Colonies in South America : he thoUght, hi justice to his Right Hon. Friend (Mr. Pitt), and to himself, it was necessary to state the nature and origin of this Trade. In the year 1707. when this country was aaually at war with Spain, the Government having' understood that there was no obje&ion to,receiving a certain quantity of Bri tiAh manufaaures in the Spanish Colonies, issued an Order of Council (rain- certain Free Ports in the West Indies to the Spanish Colonies, , Afterwards they found, with great pain, that this Order, which made only with a view to the introdu6tion of British manufactures, Was made use of tcreover a Slave Trade. They, therefore, in March 17g8, is sued another Order in Council, and dire Lions to the Commanders of his Majesty's Cruizers, in which- Order the word " Slaves" was purposely omitted, The intention of the Government had therefore been manifested for a long time against this branch of the Slave Trade, and therefore what was carried on was by a species of smuggling that was perfe&ly unauthorized. 'There was a subsequent order that the Trade should be allowed to be carried on during the. present War, as it was during the last. To confirm his statement in this resped, he should move for Copies of the Instruaions given to the. Captains of His Majesty's Cruizers upon this siab jea, on the 20th. of November, 1797. Mr. ROSE still contended, that our manufac tures were conveyed to the Spanish Colonies, to the value Of nearly three millions sterling annually, and that these were covered by Slaves. A Ship had an Opportunity of disposing of a valuable cargo there, by carrying only seven Slaves by Way of a cover. khis privilege would be lost if the Trade in Slaves with these Colonies was abolished. He affirmed_ that it was no smuggling to carry Slaves to these Colonies, as the traders had a positive Mt in their favour, though the Order in Council was against theM. They had still a right, therefore, to carry it on at the risk of capture. _ _ Mr. FRANcis asked, if our manufaaures were ex ported to the Spanish Colonies to' the value of 2, 8 0 , 0 01. annually what might be the value of each cargo which was allowed to be so'd under the cover of seven Slaves, and whether it might not be tol without that cover ? Mr. ROSE replied, that the value of a cargo might, perhaps, be about 50,0001. Mr. FRANCIS then said, that we had this fa&, that a cargo of the value of 50,0001. might be sold in these Colonies under the cover of seven Slaves, and that it could not be sold without this cover. Mr, ItosE.L—l - do assert that fa&. . • Mr. WILBERFORCE adverted to the distinEtion between authority and right, established in hiS - oWn mind by his Right Hon. Friend. He Itad heard that smuggling was - no breach of morality„ as the smugglers carried on' the trade at their own risk.. fly the same logic 'highway robbery might be proved to be a very honourable sort of occupation. Thik morality would be convenient for many of his Right Hon: Friend's neighbours on the Southern Coast. Another proof that the Spaniards wished for a di rest supply' of our manufaetures, independent of the Slaves, wa , ; that they had been supplied with these manufaStures bethre in neutral bottoms' employed by our Merchants ; and had therefor, no occasion to . use the coves of this trifling number of Slaves to . propure them. _ J. NEWPORT hoped that this abominable Trade would soon be altogether abolished. After some- farther 6133crvations - from M?.. NIISG 'and - Mr. RUSE, ' Mr. W . .l3EnFoncE moved, 'by Address. to His Majesty, for the Order in Council, - rcspeeting the Trade with' the Spanish Colonies, of the :Nth of November, 1797 ; and also for the Orders of the 28th of March, 1788, and the 23d of September, 1803, relative. to the same subje&—Agreed to. The Jrish Butter Bill went through a - Committee, and the Report was ordered to . be received to-I=r row.—Adjourned. MAILS. Hamburgh, 1 Waterford. Del:— Otten burgh, t Lisbon, 'Dublin, i Waterford.

L 0 N D 0 11; SA.TIZILDAY, MAY 3 , 1806, Tuts morning the Hantturgh Mail due on Wed. nesday arrived, and the. intelligence which it brings is of the utmost importance. If the accounts from different_ •parts of the . Continent may be 'relied upon, the Russians have aEtually evacuated Ragusa and Cataro, in consequence of . which the French have discontinued • the Works which they were cont stru&ing at Brannan, and the Divisions of Marshals NEY and SOtriT have commenced their march. The Editor' of the Hamburgh Paper eipresseq doubt of the truth of this intelligence ; and it cer t . tainly tloes not appear probable, upon the first view of the subje&, that the Itussians, having obtaincJ possession of such an important Position as that of Cataro, should lave quietly resigned it to the French. It is, however, possible, that the Emperor Ar.;x.tainta may have been induced, by tlic en, treaties' . of the Court of Vienna, to consent to the evacuation of Cataro in order' to save Austria from an immediate contest with France, the result of which, under the present circumstances, might most fatal to, her. • A sliglAt skirmish has taken place between CI:" Swedes and Prussians near itatieburgh, the result of which was, that the former being greatly interior in numbers, were compelled to retire. The boigniflai res oJ Gaeta still holds out, although a French, Army of 24,000 men, with, a formidable Train of Artillery, are employed it the Siege. The Garrison consius of 60,uti men; who. Itre well supplied with provisions. It is Supposed that MASSENA means to attempt the Invasion, of Sicily, as he has collected a number of Transports w 4. think it very improbable that he would attempt such; an enterprize while the gaglish and Aussians are complete masters of the Sea, The predielion which we made spore months ago, respeaing the States of theChureh, arson the point of being verified : PLUS theNl4h, after all his abject subnaiision to the ce,m . rnands of BoxArAitTE, has, it is said, received an intimation that his resignation will be accepted. Cardinal, FEsoz; is to be his successor. The residenqe of the Porp s is in future to be at Avignon, and the Roman State. 'is to tie incorporated with the Kingdom of Italy. The Alelamps Frigate, Capt. PCYNTZ 4 has arrived. at Plymouth . , with intelligence that Sir R. Spi A cu.tSr, has rejoined the channel Fleq, after having cruized . in vain off the l*deiras, in the hope of falljnq in. with one of the French Squadrons. Admiral RUSSEI 4 sailed on Thursday, with the Fleet • under his command, on a Cruize off the Dutch Coast.,--The Dutch Fleet remains, quietly in the Texel, without spewing any disposition to put to Sea, His Majesty's Ships Tigre, of 80 gun 3, Orion, of 74, Fame, 74, Polyphemus, 64, 4frka, 64, and the Endmion Frigate, arrived off Madeira on the 3d 9( April, and sailed again on the 6th and 7th.—The Fame, P,,l ll phenius, and Africa, sailed from Ports-. mouth on the 4th of March, .with a Fleet of East Indiamen, and the Nana:ell and Hero of Me two of the Convoy, arrived at Madeira on the 18th of March. THE, Intelligence brought by the Pievoyante Store ship, which lately arrived from Gibralthr, that 50,000 Trench Troops were on their march to invade Por t tugal, turns out, as we expeded, to be without foundation. Whatever BosArAwrE's future inten tions may be with resped to Portugal, he certainly could not at present *spare 50,000 men for 'such a service. The report, however, occasioned' some alarm among the Merchants engaged ,in the Portugal ,Trade, but it was removed by a notice sent into the City. yesterday by the Portuguese Minister, to the 'following effect, viz. " That from all the accounts he bad received from Lisbon, there was not the least' cause for lann.". The Topaze French Frigate, which has remained so long in the Tagus, has at length made her escape, ,and sailed for France. . The French Captain re peatedly boasted, that as soon as his VesSel was repaired, no single Frigate. in the British Navy should prevent him sai4ng ; but as long as a . single i B. th to
