proved ineffectual for its object.
The tior► was agreed to.
CHELSEA HOSPITAL.

Sir F. Brant re rode and °We've(/' that lie nn-
demoted, by report, there were certain lands, which
formerly belonged to Sir Robert Walpole, and af-
t retards came into the hands of the Earl of Vat-
insiutii, a large portion of %Thiele lead been pur-
chased by the public for the ben.-tit of Chelsea
Hospital—but latterly almost the tvhule had been
wonted by Government to Cul. Gordon, on a lease
Tor7o years. In that grant were included all tlw
lands going to the River Thames, from the Hos-
pital at Chelsea, so to the health of the
invalids—and but a very small portion of them ale
propriated to the use of the public. He therefore
wished to know, whether this was the fact, or that
4r the whole lands still remained in the Winds of the
public ?
lord CASTLEREAGH stated, that this was the
first time he had ever beard the report alluded to
by the Hun. hart.
Mr. linsittssoa said, he could state from the
knowledge he had aerhoired from his official situa-
tion, whet he conceived to he the facts of this case.
It was certainly the case, that these hinds had been
pnrehased by the public, and utter that purchase
it wee submitted to the Committee of Directorr of
the Hospital to say what was the iaost proper use
to lie mode of them. and to make a report thereof
to the Treasury. They stated the premises they
wanted, and pointed out the small portion alluded
to, es not likely to he of any benefit to the hospital.
Tt accordingly remained for the Committee of
Crown Lands to state how they could be moat ad-
s intageously disposed of. The Surveyor of that
offset was appointed to examine the premises is
question, and to report the value for the purpose of
budding, and the Perron who proposed to build
upon them was Colonel Gordon, but whether his
Gem had beeu Bravoed cf or not, lie did not know.
Sir Faswess Bran STT added, that he eOnertvoll
sy the fret alluded to, to lee a graewous abuse of the
pnhhic money, and therefore he conceited it would
he necessary, perhaps, for a Committer of the
House to be appointed to inspect the premises, and
produce a plait of them before the House. If he
thought there would be no objection, he would
nod make a rootiou to that effect.
Mr. Loan observed, that there was already a
plea to agendum which would be speedily coins
plettel, and would answer the purpose required
by the Ilon. Baronet.
Mr. Bost said, he had never heard one word
of this circumstance, till he came lute, the House,
and was proceeding to make some fur.her obser-
mien*, 'Ol I.en
The S!'it tees observed, there war at present no
motion before the House.
Sir Fassiets ItltaTT proposed to make a mo-
tion so as to point out iu what this abuse consisted,
but it' there %vele any objections to his doing so, he
should merely give notice of it for to-morrow.
Mr. Peet EVA!. observed, that lie had always
found from daily experience, that when there were
objections or comments likely to rise, it was most
desirable that a motion should be preceded by a
notice.
The business accordingly concluded by Sir F.
Bartlett giving notice of a motion upon this subject
to-morrow.
liftEscit OF PRIVILEGE.
Sir Cn ARLEsi 11 t Mil:1'11N. pursuant to his notice
of yesterday, complained of et breach of privilege,
by the arrest of bid person her HO otlicer of jobb' e,
sod moved that Daniel Boil, r. the officer alluded
to. do attend tomorrow, at bar, to uuc,wer the
matter complained of.—Order,cl accurdmgly.
slr. Psatixt.t. moved, t• That the Riley
Iltitchison be added to the Committee, to whom it
was referred to inquire into the duties and draw-
Lieks upon spirits carried coastnays to any part
or the Luited kingdom."
The ground laid for this motion was, that Co-
lond Hutchison was one of the Representatives of
the city of Cork. a place-which contained upwards
of one-third of the distillers throughout Irelind,
and therefore that it was peculiarly 'secretary he
should be present to set fire the interest ut his con-
stitnents.

Lord COTLEStgAMI .mil, the evil, if complained
of, Could be eusily remeslied. by the Volunteer
Corps accepting of the terms of the Local Militia,
and then they would receive similar commissions
and rank.
Sir 'f isomus Tunetin considered this as intruded
to give a death-Mote to the Volunteer spirit, by
subjecting it to the penalties of the Mutiny Act.
1 he several clauses in the Bill were thrii gone
throng!s, and some m141;601141 ours proposed by
Lord Ciistlereagb; sifter which the House res ;;;;; ed.
and these hieing brought up, the further considera-
tion of the Bill 'wits postponed to Monday. and
the Bill with the atneudiuents ordered to be

Mr. Forme brought in a Bill for more ef-

Mr. Wnueron brought up the Report of the
Committee upon the Scots Public 4ccord
which well agreed to ; mid the Bill ordered to Ire
resit to third time MI Mond•ay next, and to be print-
ed in the mean time.

The !louse resolted itself into a Committee on

Mr. FOSTER stated to the Committee. that he
twentied to propose an excise of three 'billing" and
twovenee per ...'allots on Ow dt..tillntiou from sugar,
but that it had bees proposed to him to hisser that
to two rhillings nod ten-pence halfpenny ; it had
been also proposed to alter the allowance of the
quantity of spirits to be distilled from two hawked
w;•iglit of sugar, as in the English distillers.. from
tirenty•oni• gallons to eighteen gallons surd a half.
These alterations he himself did not think would
ptoancr tlic advantages proposed by them; hat us
the present !measure was not intrwied to last only
till the regulations settling the intercourse between
the two countries should take Omer, he was satis-
fied to adopt them, expecting be should have very
different measures to propose upon that occasion.
After a few words fret. Mr. BARHAM, Mr. MAlL-

MT LORD—in my letter of the 15th inst. I had
the honour to transmit to your Lordship the details
of our Operations to the 1I th preceding, front that
period instil the 19th, we were incessantly employed
in the construction of gun cud mortar batteries,
and in the lauding caution, mortars, an 1 howitzers,
with their ammunition nod stores, iu drugging
them to the several !Knots selected by the engi-
neers, awl in the completion of the works, and in
mounting the ordnance. The exertions of C o-
dore Coekhurn, and other naval officers under his
orders upon the right, and of Captains Barton and
Neshaio of the navy upon the left, in forward big
these services, were most mars-picuous. The enemy,
during the interval, tired upon our ormainpments
with shot and shells, hot fortuilately with little ef-
feet, and his piccptets, alien pressed, constantly
fell hack under the protection of his works.
On the Pith, at half 'oast tour in the afternoon,
we °polled from six points upon the enemy's bit-
tress, with fourteen pieces of heavy cannon, nuri
mnrtan uud boa itzers, anal the Cl4lll iiiii ade mid
bourburdineut continued with little remission until
noon of the 33i1, when the. French amend sent a
trumpet with a letter to our advanced posts, near
the Boodle Redoubt, in the front of attack. to
this communication Cooler:21 Vinaret propnard, as
the Bally of negociation, that the French troops
sl Id be sent to France free from all restriction as
to future service; but this bring inudonisoisible, tlie
bombardment recommenced at ten at night, and

continued without intermission until nil's.: o'clock
of the when three white flags were discovered
flying io the fortress, in consequence of which our
tire from the batteries immerliately ceased.
It is with the most heartfelt satisfiction I hare
now the honour to report to }our Lordship. for Ohs

to a glorious conclusion in tlibalnwt space of -

The command of siieh 6411 singly will constitute
the pride of my future life. To these breve troops,'
conducted by Generule of experience, mid not to,
me, their King and country owe the sovereignty of
tins important colony ; curd I trust that by a ctitn-
purison of the force which defended it, and the tittle
in which it has fulltn, the protein reduciici, of Mar-
i pie will not be deemed eclipsed by auy former

Admiral and myself to meet them. This Capitu-
'adieu, which was mutually ratified the saute Hight,
