On the motion of Mr. fiecretarr WINI)HAM,

Twining Bill ; when several conversations took
place upon the clauses, between Air. Wallace, Mr.
Windham, Mr. Percival, Mr. N. CalVerrs Dr. Law'
tenet, Sir Wm. Young, Viscount Cmtkre:tgli, Co-
loncl Bastard, Sir J. Newport, Mr. Wm.- Smith,
and Sir Robert Lawley.
The clause with respect to the appointment of
05icera by the Lieutenants of the Contuses being
recd,

he
Mr. PERCIVAL objeCted to it, as it would,
said, be in the power of a Lieutenant to appoint
as many Officers as he pleased, some of whom
might command the Officers of the Inc.'
Lord DE IIL AQUIE RE supported the objeSion ;
as he thought it would be imposing a very unplea-
sant task on the Lieutenants of the counties.
Mr. Secretary WINDHAM did nut any
mischief could arise from .putting this power into
the hands of the Lieutenants, as the appointment
was only to last until His Majesty's pleasure was
made known.
The clause was then agreed to without a division.
The clauses being all gone through, some addi-
tional ones wese brought up. and agreed to with-
out debate. The House having resumed, the Re-

LONDON,
TVESDAY, Inv 1.
The dam Hamburgh Mails, due en Sunday, ar-
rived in the course of yesterday, with letters
and papers to the 25th. Russia having intimated
her intention to send some ships through the Dar-
danelles to Corfu. the Porte declared, that hex cc-
esta's.* would bring upon her. the anger of
tHrance, and that she must oppose the measure, if
'persevered in, by force: It thence appears, that
France has obtained the ascendancy over Turkey—
an ascendancy confirmed by the surrender of Cat.
tarn, and the faoting which the French have ob-
tained on the eastern side of the Adriatic. It is
stated. in an article dated Vienna, June 7th, that an
Imperial Russian Order has been sent for the evacua-
tion of that place To itttain this objea,it appears that
Austria had shut Trieste, and all her other ports on
the Adirtatio, against Russian and English vessels.
Cattero bring now evacuated, this' prohibition will,
of course, be revoked. The Garrison of Gaeta,
Assisi. d by All English force. lately made a sortie, in
which a party of it was cot oil. It has retired to
the mountain. of Isiri, and extended the insurreaion
which had previously existed in the province of
Abiuzzo. The kingdom of Naples continues in a
Tiny disturbed state ; particularly along the coast.—
Geni ral MitAS, ISOMAPAILTOI adversary in the
battle of Marengo, is dead.

We received, yesterday, a letter from a respeltable
house at Hamburgh. It gives the following at.
title, which, it adds, was communicated by the
French Minister in that city, as the outline of the
*xi:meted cpanges on the Continent.

Another private letter from Hamburgh, dated

dispatches to the office of the Minister of i7otei7n

known in Paris as it is here. Yet sash were the

of it, if not already agreed upon, is nearly settled.
This is the true cause of the improved. state of the
