OBSERVATIONS.
At the present period, the entity of such a work ss et The
neographical Settee" must be obvious to et y capacity. To
Naval and Military Officers, and to (Isn Cn nn their
travels, it most be • valuable and interesting companion, at
Once corn prelienvive and portable. To the student in geogra-
phy and likory it can be se-erten less acceptable.
The nature of the proposed perfo.malice entitles It to a
claim on tne attention and patronage of the public. Maps
and Chars are desiralde artplisitiims, not merely to those who
wish to be correctly informed of the eengraphical situation of
kingdoms, towns, harbours, &c. but t., readers in genre I ; far,
without them, even a eononoii Newspaper is unineellirthle.
An account of a battle may be correctly related, and all its
minutia. may be most accurately detailed; but, withoot a
knonledee of the country olive it was fought. the relatinn only
caliihita wont*, without conveying ideas. Tile ap-
motel., or retreat of an army cantiot be commeheroded with
cieerne.v, units, the nature of tire spot arli.ch it may Occupy,
or the room which it may have taken, lie asceitained.
To mention the name of r Luffinan, whose skill rind pre-
cision, as a. Geogra.ilier, are almost universally known, is a suf.
ficient guarantee for the neatness and acetates., of the erigrav-
hags ; and it is mesurnel, that the literary illustrations, by
which they will be Lecempstlied, will not be inferior in merit.
'M. Editor has Wedged hotirrif to furnish, with correctness,
e.very havens of mimic:nit:oo consistent with the proposed plan
of " 'Elie Geographical Selector," oat a stale as ample as its
limits will permit.
'llse work will p.oness the combine:{ merit of a useful library
books and a portable travelling competitors.
The liberality at the fish Public is pmverbial ; and the
Proprietors or si The trengraphical Senctor," trust, that o hen
the expensiveness of the undertake-ig shall be considepstl, it
• will not tail to meet with iii.trwit age ..onainensurate to tut tit tidy

ral of ket was. that it tended to rive money to a wit-
ness " in case he gave his evidence in nne way, and
to deprive hm of ii, in case he should give it in
another." His Lordship then adverted to the flow
in which he had otiginally proposed to put the
leading qii,stinn, for the opinion of the Judges ;
which he had since, on consideration of what passed
in one of the Courts, declared. on a very particular
case. tried by the late Lord Chief Justin e Kenyon
been induced to al. er, so as to confine the consi-
deration to the matter in issue. What he should
therefore propose to their Lordships vier to the
consideration of the Judges, should be with that al-
teration, and was to the following effeet.4 Whe-
ther, according to law, a witness be required to an-
swer questions relativ- to the matter in issue, the
answers to which have no tendency to accuse
himself; but where the answers may establish, ur
tend to establish, that he owes a debt recoverable
by a civil suit ?" On the question being put,'
Lord HOLLAND rose, and, in a low tone or
yoke, made a few observations in consequence of
what fell from the Noble and Learned Lord. He
observed, however, that a great part of his objec-
tions were done away by the consideration of its
being carefully stated in the Bill, that the prosecu-
tion should refer only to use of public money ; such,
certainly, was the intention of the A&
Lord ELDON, in explanation. quoted a part of
the Bill, where, after His Majesty, his heirs, or
successors, the words were—" or any other person
or parsons, for or by reason or means, &c." Either
these weeds had a meaning or they had not; in the
latter case, it was better to omit them.
Alen some farther observations were interchanged
Ibetween these Peers.

Lord HOLLAND observed, tharany inaccuracy
of that k.nd may be easily removed.
The Qualm was then put, and the prorvositi.m
to the above tied was ordered to be referred fur
the opinion of the Learned Judges.
Lord ELDON then prop.o.d a second question
for the consideration of their Lordship;; this seemed
to grow out first. The gis: of it, as we could
collect, was, whether a witness, brought forward as
contemplated by the Bill, could not be objected,
on the ground of his being interested. This
question produced no discussion ; hut, on its being
proposed, that the Judges do decl3re their opinions
on such law questions, on Thursday e'nnig lA, a
sheet conversation arose, as to the interval of time,
between Lord Holland, Lord Eldon, and the Chan-
cellor (Erskine). The first mentioned Peer depre-
' eared so long a delay, on the ground of its being
proper the Bill blit,uld be decided upon as spee-
dily as it was practicable.
Lord ELDON adverted to the great importance
of the points the Law Lords had to consider ; and
The LORD CHANCF.LLOR alluded to the
various important avocations which the Learned
Judges had to attend to, and which the present
Sessions at the Old Batley, tended to multiply.
On the question being put, it was carried in the
affirmative.
Lord ELDON adverting again to the importance
of the law considerations which the Bill gave rise
to, intimated the probability, that upon Bather
turning over the subject in his mind, he should fail
it incumbent on him to move for a Consesietee to
search for precedents. In cage such should be his
determination, he proposed to gi►e notice if it
tomorrow, and to move it on the subsequent day.
Their Lordships, on the Motion of Lord Hol-
land, were ordered to be summoned for Friday
se'naight. After which, the House adjourned till
tomorrow.

HOUSE OF Com &WHS.

Mr. FRANCIS moved for a new Writ for Ap-
plelsy, in the county of Westmoreland, in the room
of him Coureanuy, East. who has accepted the office
of one of dee Lora of the Treasury. —Ordered.
Mr. P. CAREW natured fora new Writ for the
county of Worcester, in the room of J. Lydon, Esq.

Mr. FOX and another Memher (whose name we
meald not learn), took the oaths and their seats.
Mr. Fox was introduced between Lord Henry
Petty and Mr. Whitbread, and took his ►eat on the
Treasury Bench.
Mr. WHIFBRF.AD moved, that Mr. Secretary
Fos be added to the Committee for carrying on the
Impeachment against Lord Viscount Melville.—
Ordered.
Mr. LEE moved for an account of the number of
writs issued from the Court of Common Pleas, in
Ireland, for the last four years, distinguishing the
numbers in each year.—Ordered.
Lord H. PE TTY gave notice, that he would,
to-morrow, move that the House do aThurn to
Monday neat ; and also, that on that day he ►hould
move for a revival of the Committee for investigat-
ing the joint Account between Great Britain and
Ireland.
Mr. ALEXANDER said, he wished to ask the
Right Hun. Gentleman opposite to him (Mr. Foit.4
a question relative to some words that had fallen
from hint relative to the Llaion. Those words had
been very much misunderstood, he believed, and
had raised considerable alarm and uneasiness re-
mating an intention to rep: al that m
hoped, therefore, the Right Hon. Gentleman would
give some explanation of his meaning.
The SPEAK Ell said, that to allude to any par-
ticular woad, spoken on a former night was highly
irregular.
Mr. Secretary FOX said, he was surprised
his words should have been misunderstood, for hr
thought -nothing could he plainer. They were
spoken on a mstron for honours to be paid to a
noble and must respeaable personage now no more
(Lord Cornwallis). A most respeaable Member sat
that House hal objected to the motion, on account
of the share the N.ible Marquis had in the Pleasure
M the Union, which he said he disapproved, as a
measure, bet still more the means by which it was
brought ahoist. He himself hid also disapproved
the measure, and still more the manner of carrying
it, and he had said that lie coincided with the
Honourable Gentkiman alluded to, and declared,
that he vretc.l for the motion, merely on the
general merits of Lord Cornwallis. He had no
said a %surd t,:at cou:d tie taken prospeflively, add
it was certainly not a fair inference in any to say,

We stated yesterday, that the Stationers of Dub-
lin had held a meeting to consider of a Petition to
Parliament, praying a repeal If the AR of Union.
We copied the article from a Dublin Paper, but
we could not find in it, or in private letters from
Ireland, that simila; meetings were in contempla-
tion all over the Country. This sudden and univer-
sal outcry against the Union, is attributed by some rf
our contemporaries, hostile to the present Minixtry,
to Mr. Fox's late observations in Parliament upon
the Union. Now, Mr. Fox's observations were made
on the night of the 9d instant, upon the motion
for a Monument, at the public expence, to the la..
Marquis CORNWALLIS ; and the meeting of the
Stationers' Company, the only one mentioned, was
held on the I Rh. A report of Mr. Fox's speech
might, no doubt, have reached Dublin, so as to
have produced an effed there, previous to the
1 Ith ; but, it is impossible it should have so circu-
lated, as to have produced a great sensation over all
Ireland, on the 14th, the date of the latest accounts;
nor do we find, in the Dublin Pap.rrs, C.ool the 11th
to the 14th inclu.ive, any indication or any other
meeting, except that of the Stationers. The sensa-
tion, we believe, has been chiefly in this country,
and not in Ireland ; excited by the very justiSable
apprehension, that the example of the Stationers'
Company might become general through that pan
of the United Kingdom. Mr. Fox's observations did
not justify these proceedings in Dublin ; and
Mr. ALlassnen, with much good sense, took
the earliest possible opportunity last night in
the House of Commons, to remove the error.—
In answer to a question from that Gentleman,
Mr. Fos declared (in his piece), 4' that his ob-
servations on that suhjed related. culusioelm, to
the mode of carrying the Union, not to the Union
itself, now Etat it is passed; and that nothing fell from
him, to justify a supposition that he meant to move
for its repeal." After this declaration from Mr
Fox, we shall probably beer no more of the repeal
of the Aft of Union ; and the political agitators
and fadinus opposers of the Government, must look
out for some new sullied of alarm.

Lord HENRY PETTy gave notice, last night, of a
motion of adjoutnment this day until Monday nest.

A Jamaica mail arrived yesterday, in 44 days,
and brought us the Jamaica papers to the t9.h
December. The late alarm in that island has pro-
duced the good effea of improving the discipline of
the militia corps, and the general means of defence
throughout the island. The Session closed on the
22d. The Rtyal Gazette of the 48th, repeats the
rumours which have run through the island papers,
that a French force had arrived at Martinique ; Wt
more recent accounts, from the Windward Islands,
discredit this statement.

Extra& of a letter from Barbadoes, dated the
31st Dec-mber, 180) The Rehr*, Dan SYSII I ea,

bound to Jamaica), was seen taken by •a rrenati
squadron of one two-decker, two large ft igates, and
one brig, on the 7th inst. in lat. 30. 11. lon. 27. W.
by Captain H.Q.-a, of the Ira, and Captain JOHN-
sup, of the Charl.e, who were part of the Meet
from Cork, and are arrived hers.
The following article was yesterday potted at
LLOYD'S:

" P,rt of the fleet which ta;led from Cork, under convoy
of 114 Nta,e4ty's ships F.,,prd and Wolverine, are arriveri at

which tqrally aisperaod them ; and many of the filet had not

tents. These Papers conffrm the intelligence before

possession of the Elettorate of Hanover; but so far
AS the accroonts come down, they do not confirm
the report of his baying annexed that Eleflorate to
his own territories. On the contrary, by the Pro-
clamation which preceded this occipartcy, the rno.

tive ass:red for doing so is only to oven the cola.

throw no light on any move:nett subsequent to the

of the convention concluded bitween Box AAAAAA

of opinion, that the quality of the possession. as
taken on the Sth, was in the spirit of the Proclaim.

that Prussia will readily surrender the trust, accord.
