MIMIC ACCOUNTS.
Lord H. PET TY gave notice, that on Monday
next he should move for leave to bi ing in a Bill for
more effentr.illy auditing the public accounts of this

kingdom.
AMERICkN INTERC3URSE MIL
On the motion being made star the second read-
ing of tie; Hill,
The SPEAKER asked, whether there were any
Counsel attending but none appeared.
Mr. HOSE then said, that the persons Most
deeply affeeled in this Bill, sere apprehensive that
the hearing of Counsel in this stage. would only be
produeiive of delay. lie understood, that the
merchants had an interview upon the subject with
the Setretery of State, but though he beard them
very patiently, their arguments did not appear to
have made any impression on him. These Gentle.
men, however, both here and in the out-ports, felt
their interests, which were of the greatest magni-
tude, very deeply affected by it. The planters were
Ali() in the same situation ; for though at times it
%%44 necessary for them to have supplies from the
continent of America, yet it was very well known,
that during the whole of the last peace, they were
regularly supplied by British shipping. Oa the
breaking out of the war, when sufficient convoys
were not provided for the trade, the Governors
thought it necessity to give permit ion for the im-
portation of provisions and lumber into the islands
in the West-Indies, from the American continent.
On an inquiry made into this subbed, by the Privy
Council, they were of opinion, that the supplies
might lie sufficiently transmitted in British shies,
and so it continued fur some years; after which the
Governors again thought proper to relax the laws.
The Board of Trade then took the mbjeet into con-
sideration, and the censiceence was, that striet in-
structions were sent to frt. Governors. They were
told, they must depend on their own responsibility
and that if they used that ton freely, they were not
to expect that tecy should receive any indemnity.
From an application which was afterwards made,
by the Merchants and Ship-owners, Lord Cam-
den,
then Secretary of State, sent a letter to
ti.e el svernors, pruhPaiting their opening the
p rtts to American veveis, except in casts
o: real distress, and that nothing should be
allowed to be imported from tl.e American States,
than front the British Colonies in America. The
importations from the States were also confined to
lumber and provisions. In consequence of this, the
West India Governors, particularly those of Bar-
badoes and Jamaica, narrowed the importations very
considerably, and no bad effeas were produced
from it. The American produce was allowed flee
of duty ; hut if the intercourse was permitted at all, i
he saw no reason why they should not pay the,
same as British vessels paid. when they went
from this country to America. It was true,
the Americans did rest make a claim of this,
but it existed notwithstanding. There was more
mischief in this, than in any other Bill he ever sew,
for it was a complete suspension of the Navigation
Laws, till the end of the war, for which direetions
had been sent out already, although there was no
precedent in former times, for any suspension be-
yond a single year. This measure would debar
British ships from the trade most effeCtually, as long
AI the war continued, and at present it was impos-
sible to say what may be the period of its duration.
He then went into a repetition of the calculation he
made befoze, to shew, that in consequence of this
suspension, the number of British ships employed in
the trade had, within a few years, been diminished
from 935, to 107, with a proportionable diminution
in tonnage and seamen ; the consequence of which
was, tnat he understood there were, in the last year.
no less than 10,000 hogsheads of sugar, which
could not be brought home for want of shipping.
If this Bill should pass. he should venture to
assert, that in a short time there would
not be more than twenty-one British ships em-
ployed in that trade, It was a maxim here-
tofore M this country, that however partial we
may be to commerce, we should be more so to our
naval strength; but this Bill would at mice cut off
one of the principal sources of our navy. He die
not think it wise, when, at former periods, see sue.
fered articles of the first necessity, which we could
not otherwise have, to be imported by foreigners in
foreign bottoms, bet this Bill Wils unprecedentedly in-
jurious. The Bill,he said, was most wantonly brought
in, without being desired by any man, or ane set of
men whatever ; on the contrary, the Merchants and
Ship-owners only desire to have an opportunity of
going into lac arornittei above staii e, to investigate
the points in douht, wfiscis would not atm a delay,
he would pleege himself, of more than tour days at
the most. They did not wish to take up the time of
the House at this late period of the Sessions, and
no unnecessary delay would be suffered to take
place. There were, he said, a number of Mer-
chants and Ship-owners, who say, drop your
and we will take the matter on ourselves, and en-
gage to supply the Colonies in British ships. He
implored the House to give a reasonable time, end
would therefore move as an amendment," that the
Bill may be read a second time this day se'snight."
Earl TEMPLE said, the complaint was the most
extraordinary he ever heard; the Merchants and
Ship-owners were allowed to be heard by Counsel,
and they had not thought proper to avail teem.
selves of the privilege, which shewed they had no-
thine very material to objet to. The Bel del not
go the length of peremptorily opening the ports ;
but only says. in case necessity may teqeire it. In
shore he had heard no argument yet caged, which
could ! iduce him not to press the Hill.
Sir C. PRICE said, he had conversed with many
merchants and ship-owners of great iisloimation, on
the subjelf, and they all concurred in opinion, that
if the bill passed into a law, it would be attewded
with the most pernicious consequences to commerce
and manufeetures. He should, therefore, vote for
the Amendment, to have the matter investigated
by .1 Committee shove stairs.
Sit W. YOUNG thought it right that Honourable
Members should he eriaious for the commerce and
manitteetures of the crniutry, but they ought also
to sweetie to the neceseities at the West Indies; and

ce:tain he was, that the colonies could not de sue•
pl.cd from this country ; nor; in tie two gioat
iicles of necessity, provisions, and lumber, by a 4
other than America ; he should therefore support

the Bill.
Sir W. CURTIS spoke in favour of a Committee
above stairs, anJ therefore vr.la friendly to the

Amendment.
Sir F. BARING said, in all cases the navigation
laws gave way to necessity—when we wanted pro.
visions. we gave invitations to all nations to furneh
them, and never confined them to do it in letiree
ships ; on the contrary, we took them as we Could get
them. He insisted onit, the ship-owners of this Couto
try could not supply the colonies, and it wenial be
dangerous and cruel. es well as impolitic, to host
to them, at the risk of starving thousands, in case
they should fail in the attempt. He aims therefore a
friend to the Bill.
Mr. Alderman PRINSEP thought the Bill, with
certain Modifications, might be made a very goiel
one. If it was positively elated, that the taut
shceild net be dispensed will, but is cases of resit
etnrgency only ; and if there was a provision in;
troduced to interdict ships (ram carrying provisiomi
and lumber into any ports of the West Indies, but
where there are customhouses, in that case he would
support the Bill, otherwise not.
Earl TEMPLE said, there would be ro objets•
to attend to these suggestions in the Comeli•eee.
Mr. PERCIVAL said, he feared there would be
no security in trusting to the discretion of the Privy
Council, that the suspension of the Navigation AR
should only take place in cases of emergency. he
he held in his hand an order from the Secretioy of
State for the Colonial Department (Mr. Windham),
dated before this AR was brought in, auttinii•in;
the Governors in the West India Isl suds to :edam
American produce, not in cases ut per ticulet elver I
gency only, but generally during the war. It, ua
the contrary, this trade could be carried oa by
itish ships. it would uecelestionahly be better;
why then refuse a Committee. in which they might
prove this. recd remove doubts teem the eelighomed
minds of Musters themselves ? It had been sled,
this country could not supply the colonies:the List 11
years bad fully shewn the contrary, and pre verithere
was no *Rual necessity ealstiog at the time this order
was issued by the Right Honourable Secretary. Be-
sides, that argument went the length of saying, the
Americans may do whit they (sill with os ; ehich
he thought grossly impolitic and unwise, at o e very
moment they were shewing so eager a d •in,. to
quarrel with us. He should, therefore, support
the amendment.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was astnri.hed
that this measure was objected to by the Hun. Gen-
tlemen of the other side of the House, ae, Sr flr 'toe
year 1793, a petiod of about thirteen etarS,
Governors were in the habit of suspect dog this
great Navigation AR, about which s s much bed
been said, from six *tenths to six mono.l ; sad these
very Gentlemen were in the habit of allosiOng this
illegal proceedingithough they were now impedi.eg
to trust His Ma sty and the Privy Council, with
the exercise of ehe same discretion Tee Right
Honourable Gendcman then a ivauced many other
arguments, which have been before greed, and 5.11 J,
that with respell to the lecture which his Learned
Friend (Mr. Percival) had given to His M. j.ety's
Ministers, he would leave the benefit of it entirety
to them, and he was perstieJed they would ay..il
themselves of it, as no doubt they were convinced.
that it was given for their advantage, and the public
good (a rev of hear! &ar ! from the Oppositiomßerebts.)
He could not do lets, he thought, than say the same
thing to another Hon. G. ntleman (Mr. Rose) who,
or, all occasions, was ready to offer his advice to Hs
Majesty's Ministers, certainly for their advantage,
as he (Mr. Rose) conceived, that a little of his ex-
perience would be of service to them ; and it was a
lamentable thing. he thought, that that gentleman
could not add 13 or 14 years more to the 22 years
of service he had already seen, for the purpose of
instructing Gentlemen of. the Administration in the
duties of their offices.
Sir C. PRICE explained.
Mr. CANNING was convinced there never was
so unwise a measure proposed, both on account of
its practical effeet, and its political consequences.
He then entered into several arguments with respell
to the propriety of allowing the ship-owners an op-
portunity of proving that they could supply the
Welt Indies; and also on the impropriety of giving
the Privy Council a power of judging of that of
wilech they were by no means capable, with imper-
tieety, in a situation so remote.
The A !TORN EY-GENERAL explained.
Dr. LAWRENeIIi thought the arguments of
the Hon. Gentlemen, who opposed the Bill, weie
founded pn fallacy, as this was not. as th y repre-
sented it, a new aad innovative system, arising cat
of an adverse disposition. on the part of the pirated
Adehinistratien, to the Navigation Laws ; but had

deposit, found it in the posts of England *edit, r
Colonies, and that for thittecn years together. kig
did not think the Bill a violation of the Navigation
Laws, and should give it the support of his vote.
Sir JOHN NEWPORT caps issed his surprise.
that the Ship•owiters should evince hostility to t,.4
Bill. as it was in fad ore which deserve.l awe
warmest support. It affected them in the same was
that it did the Provision-merchants in Ireland, who,
under the assurance of the Privy Council, and the
Board of Trade, that in future they should not le

bring holm Lady YAILNInUTH and bin infant child,

whether h- is the bearer of dispatches. such is
the profound secrecy observed by Government,
can only be m liter of conjeiure. We repeat,

LaDr LE DESPRNCER'S GRIND
MASQUARADE.

This lady gave, on Monday evening, a grand
masquerade, at her house in Hanover-square, which
was attended by upwards of eight hundred persons.
l'he interior of the house was fitted up in a very
fateful manner. The suite of apartments on the
ground floor was decorated with shrubs and artificial
flowers, and illuminated with bell lights, &e. The
floor of each apartment was chalked it, the Egyptian
;style. with an elegant Vandyke border. In the gar-
den was erefled a temporary Ball-room. in the cen-
tt,e of which were suspended from the roof three
magnificent diamond cut lustres ; it was hung all
round with shrubs and arches of laurel, and festoons
of artificial flowers, interspersed with masks ; Twine-
rotas pots of etilorWersais flowers were placed round
the room. The floor was tastefully chalked in the
Grecian !lON with all kinds of trophies and coquil-
lage ; in the centre was introduced the ship Victory,
with trophies of music, flowers, and other devices,
with a rich Etruscan border. At the top of the garden,
facing the Ball-room,was a blaring star, in variegated
lamps. over which were an arch and diamonds. with
numerous vatiegated lamps ; under which was
placed a very high stand, with pots of the rarest and
i most curious flowers. The walks were hung in fes-
toons of variegated lamps, and lined with pots of the
choicest flowers, The grand staircase which led to
the supper-rooms was chalked in the Egyptian style.
A bower was formed at the end of the ball room,
for tea and coffee; the garden was brilliantly lighted,
in variegated lamps ; the whole had a most beau-
tiful effett. The whole of the decorations, and
the chalking of the floor, were executed by Mr.
Lacey. In the drawing rooms tables were set
out for four hundred. decorated with the most
tasteful ornaments, and abounding with every deli-
cacy of the season. The supper was hot, and under
the direttina of Mr. WALDRON. A military band
was placed in the Garden, and a band of wind
instruments, masked, seas stationed in the grand
gallery, at the entrance of the drawing rooms.
At eleven o'clock, the eornpary began to arrive.

RAO:WM. JUNE 10.
Yesterday, Messrs. Verhuel and Van Styrunt te-
timed hither from Paris. The other Deputies will
shortly follow ; and our new Sovereign is also ex-
psaed in the course of a very few days.
His Excelleacy M. Verhuel, after paying a visit
to the acing Pensionary, held conferences with the
Secretaries of State, arid opened the special mission
entrusted to him by his Imperial Highness Prince
Louis Napoleon, as King of Holland, as the result
of several resolution; for the organization of the
Government, and commuuicating that His Majesty
the King had appointed M. Verhuel, Minister of the
Marine, and M. Gogd, Minister of the Finances, the
other Secretaries of State being charged to continue
in their posts till the King's arrival, which they ac-
cepted.
The same gentleman repaired in person to the
Assembly of their High Mightiness's, where also,
in pursuance of his commission, he expressed His
Majesty's charge. and made the necessary commu-
nications ; he also repaired to the Council of State ;
after which, His Excellency assumed the Executive
Power, in MUM, and by authority of His Majesty ;
while the Pensionary, who had skied ad inhrim, re-
signed that post, and resumed that of President of
their High Mightinesses.
The following is a copy of the Proclamation
' which was read to-day to the military, ltd an-
nounced to the people :
a Louis Napoleon, by the Grace of God, and the
Constitutional Laws of the State, King of Holland
to all those who shall see and read this, greeting !
.• Make known to all an! every one, that we,
with the appprobation of His Majesty the Emperor
and King Napoleon, our illustrious brother, have
accepted, ar.d do accept, the Royal dignity of Hel-
land, in coati:may to the wish of the country, With
ot'el c .issitutional laws, and with the treaty present-
, ed us to day, and the reciprocal ratifications by the
deputies of the Dutch nation.
" Oa our aesession to the throne, it shall be our
meet seared care to be alive to the interests of our

ally employing ourselves-ea their welfare.
The independence of the kingdom is guarantied
by His Majesty the Emperor and King. 'the Con-
stitutional lawars.vith our firm will, terve no less far

•••• M. D'Oubril, who is sent to Pat is by His Ma-
esty the Emperor of Russia, brought orders with
Isins to this area, which he communicated to M. Ra-
esmowsky, the Russian Ambassador at Vienna, who
Jesmediately forwarded them, in order that the place
.4ould be evacuated without loss of time.
• " In consequence of this auspicious intelligence,
gibe French rtsops will immediately evacuate Ger-
ebony ; the fortress of Brannan will be restored to
db• Austrians, and the Treaty of Freiburg literally
*ailed.
•• If the affairs of the Continent take a favourable
&eLtion, it will not be for the want of any exertion
es the part of England to prevent it. She has done
every thing in her power to throw all again into con-
fesion. Who does not, in fail, see revealed the p-
ile,' of England ?---to sow discord and disquiet among
of Powers of the Continent; to play the tyrant upon
the ocean, in order that she may carry on her corn-
atercial monopoly at pleasure. This is the incessant
Ake of these eternal enemies of nations. They
blow the value of the pound of blood of every ta-
llow in Europe."
The Moniker of the same day also contains the
*glowing note upon that passage in. Mr. Fox's
speech of May 30th, wherein he expressed his °pi-
Ainn, that should a favourable opportunity occur,
he would not &jell to risk a part of our military
fusee in recovering for Europe what had been lost in

Continent? Who are the Allies of England in this
Van ? Is it Prussia ? But if we tightly read the de-
eilatation of England, she has ordered the Prussian
leuels to be detained ; and in that we cannot re-
nline a stipulation of alliance.—ls it Austria? But

Inot know that which is known to almost all Europe
at this day. Let lim be well persuaded, that the
Court of St. Petersburgh does not know what she
herself has to fear from England upon the seas and
Y in the East; and that she is ignorant that the
• affront, which has been offered to his Ambassador
• in China, has been produced by the intrigues of the
Znglish Factory. We must suppose, in fan, that
Mr. Fox is ignorant that the Mouths of the Cat:aro
have been restored to Austria ; that Brannan is, in
