Between nine and ten o'clock yesterday morning,
Government received, by EXPREIS, from Dublin, an
account that the Dish Loan was contra&d fur in
that city, on Friday last. Mr. Luxe WHITE, of
Dublin, and Messrs. Rein, buriuo, and Co. of
London, joined, and were declared purchasers
The terms are 1391. in the St per Cents. for every
1001, in money. The bargain is considered a very
advantageous one for the public. The Irish budget
will, in consequence, be brought forward to-morrow,
in the House of Commons.

A Gottenhurgh Mail arrived yesterday. The
last accounts from Germany state, that the Prussian
troops had received fresh orders to match against
Swedish Pomrrania ; but pri•ate letters from Berlin
state an eroenatt-n, that the differences between
Sweden and Prussia will he aecommo,'ated.

We have also received Me kftidei G I:,fle of the
2d instant. A letter fro n Berlin, of the 22 last,
states, that Count ICELLI,II, formerly Pi IS•101t4
ENVOY at Vienna, has been joined w:th Count
Havnwitz in the Office of Minister for Forcio:n
Affairs, and AN:minted third cabinet Minister. The
Courts of Vienna and St. Petersburgh could not
treat in confidence with a man so wholly °lry :red to
the interest of France as Count 1-lat:owisz and
we understand M, D'ALo►ves, the RUSSIAN MI.
NIIITCR at Berlin, had actually declined to confer
with him. This has probably led to the appoint-
ment of Count Kass. ra.

The Lewlen Gmelte contain! the Paris news to the
27th. announcing the arrival of Prince sr and
the Dutch Commissioners in that city. All the rest

of the paper is occupied with the official cor-
respondonce repecting Hanover, laid before both
houses of Firlismmt, in consequence of the
King's Niessage, and the observations cop:ed from
the Paris Journals upon the Russian report of the
battle of Austerlitx.

His MAJESTY will hold a Privy Council to-mor-
row.
Letters from Bombay, dated SOth December,
Iso, state, that the Carelna and A-Ilona French
privateers have lately made raptures in the Bay of
Benstal, to the amount of 250,0001. _

The french squadron under Jesoste RAMA-
TAI:II, it is said, was met by an American vessel,
far advanced upc a its voyage to the Cape of Good
Hope.
A French Offizer belonging to the Squadron
which S r John Duckworth destroyed, when on
board the Donegal. has declared, that the destina-
tion of the squadron, which Jerome Bonaparte is
on board of, is the East ladies; and Sir Richard
Strachan's squadron, there is reason to believe, is
gone thither after them.
An order has been received to unload the ships
lying at Dover, under Prussian colours, the crews
of which were on Saturday examined by T. MAt
TRL L. Fisq. Agent for Prisoners of War; the Cap-
tains are to be allowed Is. 6d. the Mates, Is. and
the crews, Vd. a day, each man, for their support,
and ate to remain at present on board their retipec-
tree ships.
A letter from Goree, in Africa, dated lOch
March, states, that there has been much sickness in
the African corps, and several deaths of late. The
arrival of General FRASER and a reinforcement of
Officers WAS anzionsly looked for. Major I.l.covD,
for the present, commands at Gorge; ant till very
lately, Lieut. Ocir..su commanded at Sierra Leone,
Captain SHORT having died there in July last. Gn.
vernor Dav, of Siesta Leone, is hkewise dead, and
Mr. Lune...am, the first in Couacil, is now Acting
Governor.

A vessel from Antwerp passed Dover on Sunday,
after landing at Dover a gentleman of the name of
rya. The vessel left Antwerpen Tuesday last.—
Mr. PT a, we understand, has brought an account of
some regiments having lately been sent from Paris,
destined for Italy, whither it i. asided Boa., ate
is going. The Hon. Mr. Ea a °Lev is said to
hare obtained permission to return home by way of
Modal:. Other Gentlemen, It is added, expeet to
receive the same permissiuo. The hang of Paussi A

HIGH COURT OF PARLIAMENT.
TRIAL OF VISCOUNT MELVILLE.
SIXTH DAY.
About the same hour as usual, the Court engem.
bled yesterday morning, with the same formalities
which have been observed during the preceding
week. In consequence of the expeeled examin-
ation of Mr. Tsotterr, there was an unusual at-
tendance in all parts of the Court ; the Peers were
as numerous as on the first day ; and the seats in
that part of the Court, particularly allotted to their
Lordships, were completely filled; all the Law-Of-
ficers attended ; His Royal Highness the Prince of
Wales, and all the Royal Dukes, were prera: of
the sitting of the Court, except tile Duke of Susseni
who soon afte: arrived. he number of Peeresses
who attended, far excee led any of the precediug
days ; and, before 12 o'clock, their extensive gal.
lery would not have accommodated tO tersons more
than were then present. The display or rank,
youth, beauty, and elegance, we may verture
say, has not beer. surpassed upon any former Feb.
he occasion.
The attendance of the Commons was rather
in the early part of the day; but, before twelve
o'clock, between three and four hundred AlerX:.er.
were present.
The Managers were nearly as nsu .1 ; Mr. Whit.
bread, Mr. Giles, Lord Henry Petty, Earl Tern.
ple, Lord Archibald Hamilton, the Acetone)
and Solicitor• General, Mr. Calcraft, Mr. Jekvl
Mr. Morris, Mr. ltain., &c. Mr. Fox and Mr.
Sheridan did not attend Viscount fluwick sat it
the Commons' Gallery, with Mr. '1 ierney, the
grater part of :he day.
the first witnesses, who were several times un
der examination before, were eliefly examined b
Mr. Gilet• ; their testimony related to evidence giver
on former days.
Mr. Whitbread then underwent a long examina
Lion by Mr. Plomer, on the subject of Lord s,el
vale's Speech in the Howe of Commons, explana
tory of leis conduit; when, after a few preliatiaarj
observations from Mr. NVhitbrea.l, he announce.
the name of Mr. AL-Kander Trotter, u the nex
witness he should call.

A general buzz prevailed throughout the Cow
at this moment. When Mr. Trotter appeared in tin
witnesses' box, the oath was administered to him b)
the Clerk of th. Parliament, voile a breath scarce].)
appeared to escape between the lips of the spec
ta'ors, who all z•emcd to pant with expectation o
some great event. He WAS examined in e.ief
first, in a slow and firm tone, by Mr. W istbread
but he soon became anima:ed and warm. Mr
Trotter answered, on his direct examination, in th
beginning, with much precision, and in an aufibl,
tone; but towards the latter end, voice fell
low that he could scarcely be heard in t:.at part t•
the Court not immediately near the Managers
His direct ex ,mination continued for two hours, ant
his cro..i.examination for about the same time, an;
concluded a.inut half-pst four o'clock ; when th.
Lord Chancellor asked vir. Whitbread, whe.he hi
examina•lon would occupy much morn time
which Mr. Whi bread answer-d, that it was likett i
would. It was then deferred until this day, an.
th: Court adjourn►d with the usual formalities.
TN • Stralig. Is. Gtiteries were crowded at a eel-
early hour, and ev r v pl ice WAS occupied b for:
the proce.-dings commenced. l'he anzieiy an,
bustle for admissi in were nearly as great as on t'•
first day, and it was near seven o'clock before ttt
whole of the Company had belt Westminster
