at least, he trusted, would be given to foreigners to
withdraw their money from the funds. But how could
they say to allow foreigners time to withdraw, when it
was known they could not find convenience ? There-
fore he deemed it a most inconsistent motion, and extremely
ill-timed. The enemy would believe that we were reduced to
she last extremity in the management of finance, arid he did pot
wish to give the enemy such cause of exultation when it was so
unfounued. We remained no longer honest, they would ex-.
claim, and were meanly bartering the public faith in our neces-
sities, He wished to convince the world that. Britai 1 was ho-
nest in affluence, and would preserve that character, which, Hea-
ven forefend ! should ever be required, in adver4ity too. The
motion of the Hon. Gentleman he considered in two points
first, that to adopt it instantly would break open that faith of
security, and violate the principles of the country ; and se-
condly, he might only look at it in prospective, which might be
considered at some future time, when there was no risk in the
public f.,ith.
Sir T. Tu a-to x supported the motion.
Mr. POLE (_:Anew decidedly opposed the motion, and
deemed it necessary to make such a declarat on from l'arlie-
ment, that they would not infringe the security which they had
given.
Mr. HOWARTH shortly replied, and ccnsented to with-
his friction for the present, hoping the House would keep such
in view ; and concluded by asserting his disposition to oppose
the clause of exemption whenever it D uu d come before the
House..
The House resolved into a Committee of Ways and Means,
and
On the motion of the CHANCILLOR of the EXCREQUFR it
was resolved that a Duty e,f thr, e-pence-halfpenny per gallon,
English wine measure, should be imposed on all wort or wash
distilled in the Highlands of Scotland.
It was also resolved that six millions, and one million five
hundred piunds in Exchequer Bills should be raised for the :kr-
v:ce•of Great Britain.
The House then resumed, and the Report was ordered to be
`et up on iVlonday.

it was resolved that the following Sums-should be granted fur

CHANCERY SUITS, AND APPEALS TO THE LORDS.
Mr. TA v iso a rose, in pursuance of his motion, again to
call the attention of the House to this subject. The lion. (lent.
entered into a particular detail of the many evils which existed
in that department of the Administration of Justice, and con-
cluded by moving, that a Committee should lie appointed to in-
quire into tine cause of the delays in the decision of causes iLI the
High Court of Chancery.
The CHANCELLoR of the Ex en Er2ur it observed, that
it was daily expected that the Committee appointed in the
Upper House to investigate this subject, would make their Re-
port, and until that Report was published, he conceived it would
be iiidecomus of that House to take any steps with reference to
the evils alluded to by the Hon. Gentleman. Under this im-
pression he moved the previous question.
Mr. H. MARTIN supported the motion of Mr. Taylor.
Loc atm it T proposed, that instead of the previous ctc-
t.kon being put, that an adjournment of the debate should take
lace for a week.
To this the CHANCELLOR of the Excatto,urit said he had no
o 1 ectiu 1.
Sir S. Rommtv contended that no delay whatever ought to
take place in a matter of suet importance to the country.
Mr. S l'Eli F. s replied at some length to the arguments of Sir
Samuel
Mr. H. NRY MARTIN explained.
Mr. Secretary RYDER thought the House should wait the
event o f the Inquiry instituted in another place, as much unne-
cessary trouble might be thereby avoided.
Mr. AnAms puke against the amendment.
Mr. MORRIS conceived the adjournment of the debate a mea-
sure highly expedient.
Mr. PoLE CAREw made a few observations in support of the
amendment.
After a short speech, in which Mr. I'oNSONDY expressed him-
self in favour of art immediate inquiry, the House divided,
when there appeared—Fur the Amendment, 40; Against it, 19 ;

Ti.e remaining Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and

ADMIRALTY-OFFICE, MAY 14, 1511.

Copy of a letter from Admiral Sir Charles Cotton, B :rt. Cain-
wander in Chief of his Majesty's ships and vessels in
Mediterranean, to John Wilson Croker, Ea+ dated on boarl
the San Josef, off Toulon, the 21 April 1811.
Ste--1 have much satisfaction in transmitting to the Lords
Commissioners of the Admiralty, the accompanying ctppy of a
letter from Captain Otway,reportio2, the capture, by the Ajlit
and Unit 6, on the 31st ultimo, of the Dromadaire French frigate-
built ship, having on hoard ammunition and stores supposed for
Corfu.
The I)romadaire liciog a new ship, and calculated for Lis
Majesty's service, I direct Cemmissioner Fraser to pur-
chase her, together with the stores, &c. for his Majesty's scr-
vice.-1 have the honour to be, &c.

His Majesty's ship Ajax, off Elba,
March 3), 1811.

Stit--In pursuance of the instructions I had the honour to re-
ceive from you on the ~.:Oth instant, for intercepting the frigates
which had eszaped from Toulon to the eastward, 1 lost net a
moment in pushing through the Straits of Bonifacio, directing
the Unite at the same tittle to go round by Cape Corse. On my
rejoining her last night off this island, 1 was informed she had
been chased during the day by the enemy's frigates, and that
they were working through the Piond-bio 'Passage. All sail wets
immediately made in that direction, and at dawn this morning
they were discovered (as per margin t) a little to windward.—
Frum the short distance they were from the land, I regret we
could only succeed in cutting off the Dromadaire, the rear ship ;
the other two narrowly escaped from Capt. Chamberlayne, by
running into Porto Ferrago.
The Dromadaire is a very fine frigate-huilt ship, orrieht
hnndred tons, oils remark ibly well, and is onlj five months
old ; she was constructed by the French Government for the
expres- purpose of carryatg stores. Her cargo COESIitS of fifteen
thousand shot and shells of different sizes, and ninety tuns of
gunpowder.
She was commanded by a Lieut;nant de Vaissean, and her
complement one hundred arid fifty men. From the report of
the prisontrs, it appears they were bonncl, to Corfu.

• His Majesty's Brig Scylla, within Les Triagos Rocks,
off Mor4c, May 8, 1811.
SIR-I have the pleasure to inform you, Being close in with
the Isle of I.3as, this morning at half past nine o'clock, observed a
man of war brig, with five small sail under convoy to the leward,
which I immediately gave chase to ; halt past eleven, came up
and commenced firing at her convoy ; 45 minutes past eleven,
finding we were within Les Triagos • and l'tn Rocks, and
she was determined, if possible, to run on shore, obliged the to
lay the Scylla on board her, then going eight knots ; in two
minutes afterwards we got possession, but not before her first
Captain, one Midshipman, the Boatswain, and three seamen
were killed, one Midshipman and five seamen dangerously,
and five seamen slightly wounded. She proves to be the French
national brig La Cannoniere, of ten four-;.ounders one twenty-
four pound caronade, and four swivels, with a complement of
s.:4enty-seven men, commanded by Monsieur Jean Joseph
Benoit Schilds, Enseigne de Vaisseati, out only two hours front
Perros, bound to Brest. I think If we had been off the land she
would not have tired a shot at us; but with the hope of running
her on shore, and being close to it, they fought hard, and I
sorry to say the Scylla had two men killed, one midshipman
and one marine slightly wounded. I was only enabled to get
possession of one of her convoy, a sloop laden with wheat, the
other four having got within the rocks and run on shore ; indeed
I was glad, from the shattered state of La Catmoniere, and the
wind and sea increasing, to get out from where I wan with
what I had.
In this little affair I have great satisfaction to mention that Mr.
Speck, First Lieutenant, ail tile. officers and crew I have the
honour to command, did they could ; I should be proud to
have an opportunity where they could show themselves to a
greater advantage. —I have the honour to be, &c.
