The Report of the Committee appointed to con-

summoned to attend on the last Committee, praying
that Mr. Mainwaring, one of the Committee, be
direaed to pay them for their attendance, was
brought up, tea 1, and agreed 0, and it WAS ordered
that such us' them as lived out of the bills of mono-

litv, should receive a compen:ation f r their Inv of
time, in three proportions—one party at 11. others
at las. and the remainder at :is. each, per man,
per day, accot doll( to the dirt-tent distances.
Mr. HAW EfIORNE moved, that Mr, Woes-
ti A !if. who is lame, should have leave to address the
!louse sitting, on a sunjeft to which he was desirous
to call their atteAtion.
PETITION oF MR IV. TODD JONES.
Mr. WICKI IA M begot by saying, he was very
sorry, that, horn the advanced period of the session,
there was little or no hope or equitation of seeing
again in his place, the Hon. Gentleman (dr. Fos),
who lately brought forward the petition of W. Todd
Tones, complaining of several ads of severity and
oppression exercised by the Irish Government against
the said W. T. Jones, a prisoner in Ireland, under
the charge of high treason ; and as some of those
coafplaints alluded to a period in which he aged
these in a responsible situation under the Govern-
ment, and he WAS now no longer connetft-d with
that Government, he hoped the House would in-
dulge him so far as to permit him to state what
had
,patted relative to that unfortunate person dining
the time he held the situation of Chief Secretary to
the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. The first impri-
sonment of Mr. W. 'I% Jones commenced, he said,
before he went to Ireland, and therefore he was not
acquainted with any of the circumstances attending
it. The second took place after he went thither,
and finding, on inquiry, that Mr. Jones was a man
of very warm temper and an ardent mind, and had
thereby been impelled to take the active part he had
done in distributing books and circtilatitig doarines
likely to disturb the peace of the country, he ha.'
given orders that he should be treated with as mach
fruity, with respell to his confinement, as was pos-
sible, consistent with the nature of the accusations
against him, and with his safe custody. That some
time alter this, infOrmation arrived from England
relating to him, w;lich was of a more serious and
important mrure, and his confinement became con-
sequently more strict, but in no instance whatever,
that he knew of; either severe or oppressive. But
though his health had for a considerable time
obliged him to withdraw from public busine.s, and
he had, in consequence thereof; left that country,
it was but justice to that government, of which he
once formed a part, to say, that he never knew them
in any one instance give countenance to, much more
encourage, acts of severity or oppression. He had,
during the time he was Chief Secretary, written to
General Myers, and other generals, who command-
ed in the districts where Mr. Junes was imprisoned,
at different periods, and had always desired &they
would allow him every indulgence which the nature
of his situation, and the due execution of their duty
would permit. He begged pardon of the House for
having so long trespassed on their time ; he thought
it necessary to say thus much in justification of his
conduct during the time he was in Ireland, and he
was sure the House would therefore excuse the trou-
ble he had given them.
• Mr. WILBERFORCE was about to address the
House ; when

The SI'EAKER rose and observed, that there
was no question before the I louse, and therefore the
Hon. Member would excuse him for this interrup-
tion. An I Member had, by permission of the
House, been allowed to be heard in exculpation of
his own cenduA against charges made against the
Government, of which, for a time, he formed
part ; but no other Member could, according to the
rules of the House, be allowed to speak on the sub-
jecl, unless he had some motion to ground upon it.
Mr. %VILBERFORCE assured the Speaker and
the House, it was not his wish or intention to trans-
gress the rules of the House ; he only was going, as
he th.sught he might do in perfeet order, to congra-
tulate the House on the Hon. Member's having is so
satisfadory a manner shewn that the present Go-
vernment of Ireland had always been averse from
all was of severity and oppression.

SIR HOME POPHAM.
Sir W. BURROWEi said, it was his intention,
in pursuance of the notice he gave on Wednesday
last, to bring forward certain Resolutions relative to
the condun of that gallant Officer, Sir Home Pop-
ham, during the time he had the command of the
Rowley and La, Sehsale. by way of clearing his cha-
raCter from th.)se severe aspertions which had been
attempted to be thrown on it. He found, however,
that at so late a period of the session, and in so thin
an attendance, the end he aimed at would not be
sufficiently answered, and he should therefore post-
pone the Resolutions to the next session. He was
proceeding to read the Resolutions he meant to
bring forward, but—
The SPEAKER informed him. that as this was
only in the nature of a notice for next session, he
could not be permittel to go into the nature of the
Motion.
IMPEACHMENT OF VISCOUNT
Mr. WHITBREAD gave notice, that he would
to-morrow move for leave to bring in a Bill to
continue the proceedings of the Committee appoint-
ed to conduct the Impeachment against Lord Vis.
count Melville, notwithstanding the piorogation of
Parliament.

lie then moved the Order of the Day for taking
iato consideration the Articles of Impeachment
against Lord Viscount Melville. which was read
accordingly.
The several Articles were then read twice each,
many verbal amendments made, and the whole Re-
port agreed to.
Another article was added, by way of additional
clause, charging Lord Melville with having, after
the said 10th day of January, 17s(i, connived at,
anti been privy to, Mr. Trotter's having used and
disposed of divers sums of money, in the hands of
.%)ark Sprott and others.
It was then ordered, on the motion of Mr.
WHITBREAD, that a clause be prepared, saving
the sights of the Commons, and allowing thorn li-
berty to draw tip any further articles cf accusajon
or impeachment against the said Lord Viscount
Melville, and that he may be put to answzr the
same—and empowering the said Committee to re-
ply to any answers male to the said articles.
The said Committee for concluding the impeach.
ment was then ordered to he the Committee for
preparing the said clause. They withdrew for the
purpose; and Mr. WHITBREAD sown appeared at
the Bar, with the said clause. which was brought
iip, twice read and agreed to ; after which, the
House adjourned.

LONDON.
TUESDAY, JULY 9.

A smart debate tonk place last night in the House
of Lords, upon the Duke of A T 110 L'S COMpent
(jun Bill, in which the Marquis of BUC K C
paid a handsome compliment to the ceconomy of
Mr. Arinisn roses Administration, and Lord Et..
EN1131(01; Go spoke in strung terms against the pr.e.
sent Mitastry.

Mr. I....rtres has certainly resigned in form, b-it
it is thJught a reconciliation is not impritaicable.
Should none be effected, he will Is,. probably succeed-
ed by Sit- LAU RENCI. I'AkSC,N S. Mr. N. VANSIT.
T departure for Ireland is still deferred ,i,-
In the event of his resignati.m, Mr. CAN• 4:%; is
mentioned as his probable .trce“or. Ihe Nlatti.,:s
of Sr front', it is now said, will be the new Pre-
sident of the Council.

We have received Paris Pipers to the 2Siii rf
June, some extraas from wi.icli Are gwvn in 4 1,,111.
sequent column. 134.1NAPART4 WAS at Mantua un
the 19th of June.

The lians ton packet, Captain ANTIIOWV, f-‘,ll
Jamaica, arrived at Falmouth on Frid ty. She left
that island on the 20th of May. Off the raw end
of Jamaica, she fell us with Admiral 1) scats, hAr.
ing under his command siz sail of the line, viz the
St. Grege, i'llercule, Vanguard. .titles, Davey, and
Veteran, besides frigates. Admiral Coca &AY had
sailed far Baba:foes in the Centaur. The arrival of
the combined Fleets at Martinique was not knows
at Jamaica when the packet sailed : but, from tl.e
time of the arrival of the Rochefort squadron in
those seas, every preparation had been made for a

vigorous defence.
llie Jamaica papers, which we have received to
the pith of May inclusive, have been, in a great
measure, anticipated by arrivals through other chan
nels. We have extralted from them all that is new
and of any interest.

The Crereent, Capt. Lvov, from Tortola, is
rived at Liverpoo:. She sailed on the .tyth May,
and brings advice, that Admiral 'Nacos r. was to
windward with his own ship only, and bad tent a
dispatch by the tharreur, dated the gtith May, re-
questing, that all vesscis at that Island you'd im-
mediately proceed for a neutrsl Parr, or for Europe,
or inevizalde destruaion would follow.

A letter from Liverpiol, dated the 6th inst. at
half-past nine o'clock, states, that the owner of the
Crescent had just received his letters from the ship.
which mention, that the enemy's fleet had sailei
from Martinique. This report is corroborated by
a letter from on board the Hibernia, off Brest, stating
that " Sir THOMAS GRAVES sends An account that
the Combined Fleets have taken Trinidad, and that
a division of it is gone against Jamaica. This
news is said to be brought to Passage by a French
national brig.'

The Aravta frigate is arrived at P/Imonth fmrs
off Cadiz, and states, that three Spanish line of bat-
tle ships ate at Cadiz, and that Admiral COLLING-
WOOD, with seven sail of line, had just arttved,
to blockade that port. The date of the dcar.'es de-
prune from Cadiz is not mentioned.

The homeward bound fleet from the Mediterra-
nean, consisting of upwards of forty sail, is Ar-
rived at Rirtsmouth, under convoy of His Ma-
i rsr v's ship //Neon. The A 'ISOM left Malta on
the 1 t May, was chased between Cape St. Mary
and Cape it. Vincent by a Spanish 74 gan ship.
According to some reports. the Spaniard Laving
veiitured tuo far in ehace of the Lively frigate, was
unable from adverse winds to regain poit, &oil Ad-
miral COLLINGWOOD had got between het. sad
Cadiz, and sent a line of battle ship in pursuit of
her. We think it more probable that the Spaniard
was cruising off Cadi,., io etpeStation of some tree-
sure ships from Sou;:i America, whom she hoped ro

convoy safe into port.
The expcittion 'Uhler Ovieral Caaio. was Vial;
at Gibraltar on the 3161 May.

A letter from Cadiz, dated 19th May, st.xes the
arrival there of a passenger from the Isle of France,
who says, that :\dmi-al Linois had taken thirty-five
prize•, ten of which heliasged to the East India
Company, and carried 'them into that island, pre-
vious to the Bth March.
The effefts of our brilliant expedition to the An-
tilles are now felt at London. Bankruptcies mul-
tiply there in consequence, among the merchants
interested in the West India trade. There is ano-
ther result from this expedition, which has not been
dal/ appreciated. Without it, General Eerrand
would, perhaps, have been obliged to abandon the
Spanish part of St. Domingo, where he is now in a
situation of being able to support himself against all
the efforts of the Negroes and the English, their
worthy allies: without it, the whites of this part,
of so much importance to us, might have become
the vielims of the fury of Dessalines and his brigand
troops; but the Go wernment was far from forget-
ting faithful subjeets, who have preserved to it the
means of r.Licoverii-g, soon or late, a colony so in-
teresting to our commerce.
Letters from Vienna, of the 15th June, positively
assert, that the Archduke Chatles will go to Sichers-
gen, to pay a visit to His Majesty the King of
Prussia.
Letters from Rochelle, state, that since the ar-
rival at the Isle of Aix, of Admiral Missiessy's
squadron, the English keep a squadron of eight
ships of the line in sight of that road. This ex-
plains the accounts from Brest, of the reduftion of
the Engish fleet in that quarter. On the 7th, Bth,
and 9th of June, they only amounted to fitteen
ships of the line. It was surprising that our Brest
fleet Aid not seize the opportunity of putting to sea,
being so much superior to th • enemy.
A letter from Frankfort, dated 13th June, states,
that Count Cnhentzel, the Austrian Ambassador to
his Majesty the Emperor of the French, WAS, at
that date, in that city, from which he was to set
out at the end of three days for Paris.
A letter from Strasburxh, of the Clst June, states,
that the Mayor of that city had announced that the

the conclusion of a peace depends solely upon Eng-
land. While several of our merchants were lately
coaversing with him upon the law which prohibits
Ali commerce between this country and England,
he expressed a hope that these rigorous but neces-
sary measures for the moment, would not be long
in force ; that the Emperor of Russia and His
Prussian hfojesty had agreed to propi,se a plan or
ageneral pacmcation,which will be probably adopted
by England ; tbat he flattered himself that the
friendly propositions of the two mediating Powers
would not be rejened by the obstinacy of Great Bri-

made by the Emperor of Russia, that if the English

just and honourable for the two contending parties,
he should cease to have any conneason with the
