PA.TRIMTIC FUND. LLOYD'S, JAN. 24, 1806. Ta - , Feelings of National Enthusiasm and Gra thudt,-,excited by the Glorious yi CTO KY of TRA LGAR, have been displayed in CONTRII3UTIOIsIS of unexampled Liberality to this Fund, established for the Re lief and Encouragement of those engaged in the present filo- Inentous Contest. The Colleetions after Divine Service,on the Day of Thanks giving,wit h other new Contributions,e;clusively appropriated to the Relief of those Wounded, and to the Families of those 'Killed, in His Majesty's Service, amount to 77,1741. The IMW Subscriptions for the general Purposes of this Institu tion, amount to 43,4001. ; 'and the Committee estimate, that after payment of-every call occasioned by the late signal Suc cesses of His Majesty's Arms, a Surplus of 195,5701. will remain to meet the future claims of British valour. In former Wars, Subscriptions were confined to the suf ferers in memorable and successful Engilgements. At the commencement of the present War, this Institution was founded on the more enlarged and liberal system of including the cases of all those who suffer in action with the Enemy, on every occasion whatever: and extensive as the plan ap. pears, it finds abundant resources in the public spirit and liberality of the British Nation.

The further consideration of the Appeal Cause, Ogilvie V. the Carroll 'Company, was ordered to be resumed on Monday sennigh t.—Adjourned till to .morrow. HOUSE OF COMMONS. WEDNESDAY, J.Y.

Powers, and of its thanks for such condua. Tide SPEAKER then road the 'Letter to the House, in substance as follows `‘ The Noble_Marquis acquainted the SPEAXER, that he had the honour of i-ceiying his Letter of the 4th of May, 1804, transmitting to him the Resolu tions of the House of Commens, •respetaing the conduEt of:the War that had been car on in India against the confederated Mahratta Powers ; that he had caused these. Resolutions to be ..published, with the SPE.:;itEA!s Letter, in General Orders to the Army, and transtnitted Copies of the Resolutions to the different Officers and Corps of the Indian Army to -whose services they referred. The Noble Mar quis then requested of the Sp.cat. - };it to communicate to the HOnse CoMmons the dutiful sense, and live.

Lord FRANCIS SPENCER, from the Committee ap pointed to prepare the Address in reply to His Ma jesty's most gracious Speech to both Houses of Par liament, presented their Report at the Bar. The Report was brought up, and the Address read a first and second time, and agreed to. It was then ordered, on the motion of Lord CAS TLErt EAOH, that.it be presented by the whole House, and that such Members of the House as were of his Majesty's Privy Council should wait on his Ma jesty to know when his Majesty would be graciously pleased to be waited oti therewith. HIS MAjESTY's SPEECH. Lord CASTLE REAGH moved, that His Majesty's most gracious Speech - be taken into consideration ,to morrow.—Ordered. CONTINENTAL TREATIES. • Mr. GREY desired to be informed, when the Co pies of the Treaties with the Powers of the Con tinent, which had been adverted to in the Speech at the opening of the Session, would be laid before the House. • _ _ Lord CASTLEREAGH replied, that no time should be lost in furnishing the House with every Docu ment conneded with this subje&, that could either be wished for or produced. PERMANENT ADDITIONAL FORCE BILL. Mr. SHERIDAN rose to submit the Motion ,of which he had yesterday given notice to the 'House. As he understood that no opposition would be made to the production of the Papers he wanted, it was unnecessary for him to occupy the time of the House with any preliminary observations. He should, there fore, content himself with moving, " That there be laid beline the House a Return of the num ber of etfedive Men that had been raised under the ACtof the 44 31101 His Majesty, entitled an At for Raising a Permanent Additional Force, &c. up to the period of the last Return, together with an Account of the number that have been re cruited per week, distinguishing those that have been raised by Parish Officers and those by - his Majesty's Officers for 014 Parishes. —Also, the number of those that have volun teered from this Force for general service."—Ordered. Similar Returns were also ordered, on the motion of Mt. Slinat DAN, for Scotland and Ireland. Mr. CHARLES DIJATDAS 'took this opportuni ty of presenting to the House a Petition from the Magistrates and Freeholders of the County of Berks, on the subje& of the Additional Force Bill, and pray ing its repeal. The - Petition was,signed by all the respeCtable Magistrates, Gentletnen, and Freeholders of the County, and had been unanimously agreed to at a most numerous Meeting of the County, held for the purpose of considering the subject. It had been found by experience that the A& was imprac ticable, and the Petitioners, - of necessity, felt them= selves compelled to apply to the House for its re peal. They stated in their Petition, that of the whole number which the County, under the Ad, was 'called on to raise, only eleven hadbeen procured by Parish Officers, which had not arisen from any neglect on the part of 'the Overseers, but from the impossibility of carrying the Provisions cf the A& into execution: The Petition also stated, that in consequence a stun of 63251: had been imposed on the County for penalties, which operated as an op pressive and unjust burthen .upon the landed inte rest, ,and was particularly severe upon the small farmers. The Hon. Member after thus' stating the substance of the Petition, declared, that under such circumstances, he should have felt it his duty to submit a Motion to the House for the repeal of the Bill if the subie& had riot been taken up by the Hon. Member (Mr. SIIERIpAN) who had given a notice respe&ing it, and who was far better quali, fied for the task than he was. At the satne time, however, that he felt satisfaCtion at seeing the busi- - ness in such able hands, he could not let slip the present occasion of calling the attention of the Gen tlemen opposite (and particularly of the Noble Lord who had last night spoken on the subjeet, and inti mated an intention of His Majesty's Ministers to Make some alteration in the Bill) to the matter of this Petition. He was convinced that the measure . was impraeticable, and that nine-tenth's of the land ed interest of the Country would not be satisfied without the total repeal of it. Experience had proved it totally insufficient to the object which it was de signed to accomplish, and in its operation it had been found a grievous, unfair, and unjust imposition upon landed property, and very unequal in diarent Parishes. He had but one observation more to make, and that was, that whatever a man's property in the Public Stocks or Funds might be, he was not called on to find a single man; a circumstance that shewed how heavily the pressure must fall upon landed property. He hoped, therefore, that His Majesty's Ministers .would re-consider . the subject, before they fbrmed any determination to continue such an A 4 under any modifications. I The Petition was then brought up, and ordered I to lie on the Table. LORD MELVILLE.- IVIIITRIM,M, pursuant to his notice, - moyed, .that the Resolution of the Uouse 3 resped-, lug the appointment of a cornntittee of Impeach ment against Lord MELVILLE, of the 26th of June, 1•895 Should, be read-; also the At of last - Session, for continuing the proceedings respeding that Im peachtnent, notwithstandino - any Prorogation or Dissolution of Parliament, be read.—Ordered.

Admiral RUSSEL'S Flag 'Ship the Majestic has arrived at Yarmouth, and the Princess of Orange ; of 74 guns, for whose safety some apprehensioks were entertained, has also arrived at that Port. It has 'for some days past been reported, that a second Squadron had , escaped from Brest, and that an EneMy's Fleet of 14 Sail of the Line had been seen at sea. There is no foundation for this re port ; it originated from the statement, of the Captain of a Swedish Vessel, who was under the convoy of the Arethusa, when she fell in - with a Squadron of seven Sail of the Line and four Fri. gates, which we mentioned,sofne time ago. Yesterday in the House of Lords, Lord MEL VILLE put in his Answer to the Articles of Im peachment exhibited against him. The Answer is a general Plea of Not Guilty to all the Charges. The Committee for managing 'the Impeachment on behalfof the Commons are to meet this day for the purpose of re-commencing their fun6tions.

Much discontent prevailed among the Troops for want of regular pay ; the inhabitants were also dissatisfied with the Government; and it was the general opinion, the Governor must sur render on being summoned by an Enemy,. as there were not more than 2000 men, and those not to be depended on ; so confident were some of the Mer ' chants of the Settlement soon being in possession of the English; that orders have been received to get ready particular assortments of goods, to be shipped immediately for that market, they are in want of all European commodities.
