vet come to a hoe: decision upon the subject.

On the Order of the Day for the second reading of the Irish

small Debt Rill ;
Mr. MAY objected to the Rill, on the ground of its throw-
ing too large a quantity of business on privete Gentlemen,
acting a, ates, who hart already as much a, th.l knew
what to do with ; and a. these small debts ware recoverable at
the Quarter Smaions.
Sir J. NEWPORT supported the Bin as highly necessary.
He said that the recovery of small debts was very precarious
slid uncertain at present, as it wao attended with considerable
cxpence. Persons might sew recover to the amount of M.
before the Magistrates at the Quarter Sessions; but many of
them hi the different counties lived lb or tfl miles from the
Session House, and had to carry their witnesses so far, suet to
pay their expences, which rendered it a great hardship OR all,
and actually precluded many from pursuing their just claims
He thought, therefore, the Rill would prove very advan-
tageous to the country, and as such would vote for the second
reading.
Mr. ALEXANDER and Mr. CARR opposed the Bill.
Mr. Lk:E said, Magistrates were allows,' to try C•efftS of 51.

THE Bitrusti PREss.

LONDON.
FRIDAY. MAT 10.

We have received Dutch Papers to the sth, con-
taining the Paris news to the Ist instant. Their con-
tents, which are given in a subsequent column. are
not important. A private letter, of the 2d, from the
Hague, says
" In Italy there are new leo,ooo Frenchmen in arms, partly
to prevent the remote porsibility of hnetile attempts, and partly
to ;in weight, If necessary, to the plea for the extension of
the new flautists of that kingdom—As early as the lith of
February, secret 'Wars were given, under multi chinas-
stances, to ad oferwivily ea the Adige. Prince Joeepts wilt
persists is hw reftsal to accept theories of Italy. It is wow
Bunapattees inisetion to eerie it, a,e future period, to
Kagene Bisitharno;s, and, by this slitislation, In give a roof
of his condescension and meditation at a general peace. TM
President Co.' the Milanese twenty-lour usillioos et deo; the
King must prows such wawa impulsive."

The secret expedition, the fitting oat of wbkk at
restsamrath, was first announced m this Paper, is

to rendezvous at Cork. Three regiments, viz• the
Sth, 2tth, and 83d, are now upon their march to
embark at Portsmouth, from whence they will im-
mediately proceed to that station. They will be
joined there by several regiments of the army in
Ireland. The expedition, estimated at 6,000 meil
strong, will be under the command of Major-General
Sir ETRE Coors, and is destined for the West
Indies. The Sth was yesterday inspe led by Ills
MAJESTY, as it passed through Hyde Park, on its
march to Portsmouth. The 24th, lately quartered
at Bow and the adjacent places, will march through
the city at six o'clock this morning, on its rout for
Kingston, where it will halt this night, and pro-
ceed to-morrow for the same destination.

The Glory, of 98 guns, is hourly expeaed at Spit.
head, with Admiral Sir Jones ORDE on board.
Orders have been sent to him to repair thither, and
to strike his flag. The growlers complain that Sir
Joi OaDe did not attack the Toulon Fleet, not-
withstanding its great superiority of force ; but they
forget that six line of battle ships were ready to put
to sea from Cadiz to encrease the fearful odds
against his little squadrol.

A letter received from Lisbon, by the Mail of
Wednesday, dated the"24th of April, sap,—"
The
force of the Toulon squadron is now ascer-
tained. It consists of one ship of 110 guns, two
of 84, and seven of 74, besides frigates, sloops, &c.
Off Cadiz it was joined by six Spanish ships of the
line, and the L'Aigle, a French 74, which has been
lying in that harbour upwards of a twelvemonth.
The Spanish ships are commanded by Admiral
Omit; A, and have troops on board. Their desti-
nation is supposed to be the West Indies. The
Ferrol squadron is also ready for sea."
A letter from Falmouth, of the fich, represents the
combined French and Spanish force, which sailed
from Cadiz, as follows:-11 sail of the line, French;
six ditto, Spanish; six frigates, and two corvettes,
besides several transports, having on board 10,000
French troops, 5,000 Spanish, two Spanish Regi-
ments of dismounted Cavalry, and 300 Artillery-
men, said to be dectitrA for Jamaica.
Another letter from Falmouth, of the same date,
sta:es the combined fleet at 18 sail of the line, and
12 frigates.
Extrad of a letter from an Officer, on board
the Glory, off L.7llant, dated May I By this
time, I suppose, yal have heard of our being
obliged to run from our station, off Cadiz, by the
appeal ance of the Toulon fleet, which arrived off
that place oil the afteVnoon of the 9th ult. in force
eleven sail of the line and nine frigates. The
Spaniards have in Cadiz seven sail of', the lint,
bosiies a French seventy-four, all of which were
immediate readiness to join the Toulon ships,
besides five more of the line, which might be ready
to join them in two or three days. We therefore
suppose that the whole was intended to proceed on
some joint expedition, perhaps for the East or \Vest
Indies. We had a report, that the Spaniards
were going to the Havannah, and that they had
troops on board, but this account appeared to want
confirmation. Since the 9th, we have neither seen
nor beard of them ; and from the continual northerly
winds, only joined Lord GA %DM es fleet yesterday.
Our squadmn has made a number of captures, but
not one has fallen to the Glory', share. Nothing
has been taken lately, and I believe the game is
y well up."

Yesterday at two o'clock, His NiAJESTT held a
Privy Council at the Queen's House, which was
attended by the LORD CHANCALLOI, Earls DART.

Captain UM), of the Royal Navy, was introduced
to His MAJES r v by Sir STEPHAN COTTRELL, and
received the honour of Knighthood. We under-
stand Viscount Natty ictis name is erased from

In the evening Their MAJESTIES bad a selat
party.
Dispatches were yesterday received at the Ad-
miralty from Lord GA RDN ca. They bring no news
of importance.
Orders have been forwarded for Falmouth, for
the immediate sailing of the outward-bound West
India fleet, which put back to that port the sth inst.
No certain intelligence of the French fleet has yet
been received at the Admiralty.
The embargo and press have been extended to
all the ports. The press at Plymouth was executed
with such adlivity, that some hundreds of hands were
obtained in a few hours.
Mr. Girt PAD, accompanied by his friend Alder-
man JAMES, arrived on Wednesday night from
Dublin, for the purpose of petitioning the Imperial
Parliament, on the ground of his dismissal from
office. They reside in the Adelphi.
A Letter from Gibraltar states, that the 10ni7,..r
sloop of war sailed from thence on the Bth ult. with
the trade for England ; and that the Doris, LAMB,
a transport, which sailed with them, had put into
Lisbon.
A report has been prevalent, set afloat probably for
a disco dant purpose, that the Colleetor of a Northern
County has been dismissed from his office. We have
inquired into the business, and iind the rumour to
be utterly unfeundcd.—ahl. Er. Pat).
