IRISH MILITIA BILL.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
having moved the order of the day for the House
resolving itself into a Committee on this Bill;
Sir .1011 N NEWPORT said, that having al-
ready submitted to the House such objeflions as
occurred to him on this subjea, he should not now
trespass on their time by any farther opposition to
it. The purpose far which he rose was to suggest
to the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. l'itt) a mea-
sure which might have a happy effelt us convert-
ing much of the indisposeable military in Ireland
into a disposeable force. His objEt was to extend
the provision made for the wives and children of
Militiamen in Ireland to such men as should volun-
teer into the regulars. The deplorable rate of the
women and children of those who had before so
enlisted, was, after the embarkation of the troops
from this country, a source of the most extreme
wretchednes in Ireland. They were obliged to beg
their way home, and the swarms of them were so
great, that the streets in Ireland were sometimes
covered with them After one emarkation at Ports-
mouth, them were upwards of 1000 of these un-
happy creatures left in that condition, and, if not
provided against in future, the knowledge of these
circumstances must operate as a great drawback on
the recruiting.
'The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
replied, that the suggestion made by the Honour-
able Baronet had bfio means escaped his atten-
tion ; but the remedy for it was fraught with the
utmost difficulty, and may make it a question whe-
ther a similar promise should not be made through•
out the service. Another thing which made it a
subjea of the more serious deliberation was, there
being no poor laws in Ireland from which those
persons might he relieved. He understood, how-
ever, that when the troops were embarked, the wo-
men and children had a provision made for them
from the liberality of Government.
Sir JOHN NEWPORT said, it was very true
that, after embarkation in this country, the Govern-
ment gave the women and children an allowance of
a guinea and a half each, for their conveyance to
the nearest port, but after arriving these, they were
under the necessity of miserably begging their way
to the place of their former residence.
Colonel OGLE confirmed the account given by
Sir J. Newport, of the wretched condition of those
women after their return home. In the late war
they were allowed at the rate of 4s. a week each,
and had since only 2s. which was obviously insuf-
ficient for their support.
The Bill then went through a Committee, and
was ordered to be reported w-marrow.
Adjourned.

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3.

It now appears that the late Paris Papers stated
truly, that the Rochfort squadron was destined for
the West Indies. The Arabella packet, which is ar-
tived at Falmouth in twenty-nine days from the
Leeward Islands, has brought an account of its arri-
val at Martinique upon the 19th of February; and
that on the 21st, one thie-decker, and two seventy-
fours, invested Domiuica, and made good their
landing. General PREVOST had thrown himself
into Prince Rupert's with what force he could col-
lea. Roseau and its dependencies had capitulated.
The opposition of General PREVOST, we fear, must
have been in such case of little avail ; as the pos-
session of the port of Roseau, and the heights above
it, is a commanding situation, decisive of the fate
of the whole Island. Besides, the Rochfort squa•
drop consisted of five sad of the line, and finir
frigates, with 6,000 troops on board ; a force
which the Island, not more than So mites long
and Li broad, and not strong by nature, was not in
any event capable of resisting. There is, however,
good ground for hoping that the enemy will not be
able to extend their conquests much farther; as we
have an effective force of more than 12,000 men,
well disciplined, and ably commanded, in Bar-
badoes, St. Lucie, Trinidad, and Surinam ; and
Jamaica is an (Ned, we conceive, beyond their
strength. Had they any great enterprise in view,
it is reasonable to presume that they would have un-
dertaken it with the great advantage to be derived
from surprise, and the suddenness of the attack. In-
stead, however, of proceeding in this way, we find
then give all the other islands an opportunity of mus-
tering their strength, and concerting means of de-
fence for the comparatively insignificant conquest of
Dominica. It is, therefore, not improbable but that
the main objet of the expedition is for the purpose
reinforcing Martinique, which is known to have
but a weak garrison. There was also a report
yesterday that the enemy had proceeded against St.
Lucie, bit it was not credited. The news had
very little cffel upon the public funds.

N,. farther accounts were received yesterday of
the Channel According to some reports, it did
not exceed twelve sail of the line when the enemy
first shewed a disposition to come cut of Brest. It
appears that the greatest exertions have been made to
rend( rce it. In addition to the ships mmtioned
yesterday as having sailed on Saturday, the Quern
of !!? guns, Rear Admiral KNIGHT, the Dragon of
74, which was going with the expedition, the Min-
h/genet of 74, and the Dindrm of 64, sailed from
Portsmouth on Monday morning. It. was seism ted,
however, in the evening at Portsmouth, that the
Qa.:es and the Dragon were recalled.

The Hamburg!, Mail due on Sunday arrived
yesterday, with letters and papers to the 27th last.
An article under the head of Rome, March 2, states
that Lord NELSON bad tetnrned with his fleet to the
coast of Sardinia. These papers contain several
articles of a pacific character. They state that the
orders for reinforcing and supplying with provisions
the fortrewes of Mantua and Pi t.figliitone have been
recalled, and contend, that the report of 10,00ki
French troops having marched by Mount Cenis tt'i
Italy is greatly exaggerated. The conspiracy at
Stn:gardt was revealed to Government by a Jew.
It is said, that some of its ramifications may be
traced back so far as 1790.

The Urn. Gamic' Kiroa is re-eleaed the repre-
sentative in Parliament for the University of Dub-
lin, by a majority of 16; the whole number of
voters was only 59. Mr. Fos r ER, one of the un-
successful Candidates, means to petition.
A resolution was passed on Friday last by the
Court of Directors, that all the Company's uthcers
on furlough under the rank of Major General, who
have been one year in England, shall return.to their
duty in India, by the ships of the present season.
We have authority to coatradhl the statement
which has appeared in the public papers, of Sir
Evan COOTS having resigned his military com-
mand in Ireland. _

It was universally expeaecl yesterday. that Vis-
count Met vitta's letter to the Commissioners of
Naval Inquiry. moved for on Monday night, by
rdr. PITT, in the Howse of Commons, would have
been laid last night upon the table. A Clerk from
the Commissi(mers attended, for the purpose; but

he did not arrive until the SPEAKER was putting the
question fur the House to adjourn, and consequently
was too late. The letter will, no doubt, be laid
before the House this day.
Some heavy Sting was heard on Monday at Dover,
supposed to proceed from our cruisers attacking
some cf the enemy's small craft skulking along shore.
One of the papers gives an account of places held
by Viscount MILLVILL► and tamily, under Govern-
ment, to the amount of 61,0001. a-year, evidently
for the purpose of exciting popular clamour. The
inference which every fair and liberal man would
draw from the statement, is, that Viscount Ma,
vt its and his family must be strongly attached to
the Government and the country. It the places are
well hiled, what difference does it make to the
country, whether the occupants be DuNDAssas,
Porrs, Ancitooruns, or Gaaelvit.Las

Last night Their MAJESTIES and the five
Psiscassis honoured this The are with their
precence ; the entertainments commanded for the
-evening were Mr. CUM BERL A ND's admirable Come-
dy of The Tried of Furesine, anti the Musical
Farce of Of Age requorrow. Mr. EL L isTON, for
the first time, sustained the part of Pearuddock. It
was written for Mr. Kest ete, and our idea of the
chars ter was formed by that excellent actor. We
did not perceive Mr. E Lis roe a copyist in any
thing but his second dress. He was perfeiffly mas-
ter of his part, and gave a most interesting and
„Aural portrait of the noble, generous minded
misanthrope. He was received throughout with
the loudest plaudits. We have not been accustomed
to so interesting a Mrs. Wendt-Mr as Mrs. Poses Lt..
Miss Met cox was an arch and lively Eavd.v. Mr.
Dolmas,' in the &vein., was excellent. Every era-
rafter was well supported. Miss DECAMP and Mr.
llsasisrca performed the parts of the Boren and
Moincin the farce, with their usual excellence. Miss
I)cc a Mr's mock Italian song was loudly encored.
The whole of 6e Roy ILL PARTY were in the
deetrest grooming. Princess Et IZA 'Lig had a very
foe plume of black feathers ; all the PRINC Ems wore
j.t earrings, solitaires, and ornament. on their tur-
bans. They looked remarkably. well;• the black
dress 'hewing their beautiful hair and fair com.

ceived with all the accustomed enthusiasm ; God

performers. The house was extremely full, but
looked glgomy, from black being so universally
worn. We cannot give a better description of the
variety of shapes mourning assumed, than by

CITY BUSINESS.

A Court of Aldermen was held at Guildhall

'NOME CIRCUIT.

KINGSTON, iIIOND•T, •Pllll, 1.
*SAD V. SOROD•LE.

'llhii was an aftion against the late Sher:ff of
Surrey, who was a mere nominal Defendant, for a
trespass, in entering the house of the Plaintiff, and
taking away several of his goods. The Defendant
had pleaded that there were a judgment and execu-
tion against the goods of one John Membrane, and
justified the entering the house to take those goods,
and that the goods which he had taken were the
goods of Llembrune, and not at the Plaintiff.
Mr. Gaaaow stated, that Mennintine was a cabi-
net-maker, and an ingenious workman, but, falling
into unfortunate circumstances, he applied to one of
those harpies of money-lenders who prey upon the
distresses of their fellow creatures. Of him he bor-
rowed some monery.at the usually extravagant rate.
' He received a draft, which he expeCted to be pay-
able at sight, hut when he came to look at it, it was
payable at a distant day. He told Mr. Smith, the
kind Gentleman who thus accommodated him,
and who, it was fit the Jury should know, kept a
hardware-shop in Rathbone-place, that he was in
immediate want of the money, aed that a distant
day of payment was of no use to him. Upon
this, Smith told him, that though the draft was not
payable until a future day, yet he might easily
convert it into ready money; for that his old bar_
ber (who no doubt had learned to shave close) kept
a public-house, sad he would immediately discount
the draft, if he took a dozen or two of wine in part
payment. As a needy man he had no power of re-
fusal, and was obliged to comply. As might well
be expelled, the poor man soon failed, and was
driven into the rules of the King's Bench, and here
he met the Plaintiff, who had been an old friend
and companion in his boyish days, and he, commi-
serating the sad situation of Membrane, allowed
him the privilege of working in his shop, being both
of the same trade. The usurer bad before taken all
the goods he could find in execution for hit debt.
and, not content with what he had got, he pursued
the wretched man into even his prison; and sup-
posing. from his own feelings. that no one would
succour the wretched, he seised on the goods of the
Plaintiff, presuming they must be to.embruue's, be-
cause he worked in the same shop.

The principal Witness to prove that the goods
taken by the Sheriff's Officer were the goods of the
Plaintiff, and not of Niembrune, was Membitine
himself; but, upon cross-examination, be admitted
that they had been his, and that he had sold them
to Rea.i, because he expeeed they would be taken
en ekecittiors IT was proved that the Officar told
Read, that, if he would point out what belonged to
biro. he would mot take them.
Serjeant Best contended, that the sale by
Membrune .o the Plaintiff was a mere fraud, to de-
feat Smith of the ft %tits of his execution.

Mr. Justice Ncnrtt told the Jury, that the only
question was, whether the goods taken were the
goods of hlembrune, of of the Plaintiff? With re-
aped to the usury, there had not -beets a tittle in
proof that there was any ; and, therefore, the Jury
must not suppose that there was any in faa. If
hiembrune had sold these goods to the Plisiaeif to
avoid the execution; yet if the Plaintiff himself did
not know the fall, he would be a bona fide purchaser.
Verdi& fur the Plaintiff.

TUESDAY, APRIL 2.
sato AIDWOOD, isq C. TAE HON. T. COVLNTRY.

Mr. G ARROW said, that this aaion was brought
against a young Gentleman, whom he was sorry to
have to complain against. He was the snit of a
Noble Family, and inherited from a relation a large
fortune, which he had dissipated in every kind of
extravagance. He was now within the Rules of
the King's Bench, from whence he sallied by a day
rule in term time, and trespassed all round the
neighbourhood of Footscray. He was an excellent
shot, and had a servant as good a shot as himself.
They, with three or four companions of the same
soq,.with their double-bairelied gnus, made such
havock with the game wherever they went, that it
was now the only question, whether the proprietors
of the manors or strangers should have the game
upon them? In (Mawr last he was poaching upon
the Plaintiff's manor, and being warned off by his
game-keeisee, he told the man to tell his master tt to
string Ms fiddles, and not interrupt him, or he
would 'smock him over head," using a coarse
expressio.t, which he did not chu,e to repeat. He
would have this Sprig. pi- Noidith know, that a re-
speßable mechanic. who amassed a fortune by his
ingenuity and economy. was a m re respeaable
person than the dissipated man of fashion, who had
squandered the inheritance of his ancestors.

After hearing some evidence,
Mr. Justice HEATH said, he supposed a shilling
verdi,l would do.
Mr. GA Rio» replied, be would accept of a shil-
ling. Mr. Serjeant BEST and Mr. Cum swoon. Coun-
sel for Mr. Cuvettt y, agreeing to it, a verdifl was
taken for the Plaintiff—Damages one shilling.

WATTS v. SCNT:Ltz.

'Ms was an aftion by the Plaintiff, a broker, in
Lambeth. against the Defendant, a German Doc-
tor, for calling him a thief, a Prvindier, and saying
that he lived by swindling. Two old women proved
thatihe Doftor had spoken these words; and the
blot by his Counsel, insisted that the Plaintiff,
who',lfted as Lawyer to the neighbourhood, had
injured the Dalor, by giving him bad law ; to this
it eriss replied, that the only cause for the Dodoes
w•as because the Plaintiff would not recom-
mend his bad physic.
The words being proved, the Jury found a ver-
diet for the Plaintiff—Damages 51.
On the Crown Side ihere was no case of import-
ance but that of the manslaughter, which we have al.
ready reported. No criminal was left for execution.
Here the Assizes and the Flame Circuit finished.

It is said, that the Earl of Mom", has been pre-
•.iiled upon to continue in his command in Scot-
land.

Yesterday a great number of Lunatic and Bank-
rupt Petitions were disposed of in the Court of
Chancery, but not any of notoriety or interest to the
public. Several persons attended, in the hope ot
bearing the Cmamttt.ton's decision upon the Case
of Mrs. Firsts aaaaaa and the Infant Daughter of
the late I.qrd HUGH SY/moue, notwithstanding his
Lordship's intimation of his intentpa not to agitate
the question until the other business before the Court
should be dispi..sed of.
