the question of. forwarding. the Bell-Rock

.Bills,respeatog the
Scots Forfeited. Estates, some conveisation took
plav2e. Several- of their Lor4ships Were engaged for
.Oale:ticile,Myipusly; near. the Woolsaek, in a sort
of privateconiereice, "apparently on this topic. At
'length,
The Earl of LAUIi ER:7,4LE rose,• and called
.the attention of the, House CO the subjed. He ob-
served, that a .Message had been sent to- the .House.
of Commons, so far back as Monday, requesting
Copies of the EvidenCe upon which they passed cer-
tain Bilis (the above, as we could collect). It was
stated, on the part or that House, that tiwy would
send an answer by ALtssengers of their own. HoW-
_ever, deither.that-answer, nor any communication (41
the' subjea, had since been made. 'He hoped it
would.always be a fixed principle with their Lord-
ships, not to legislate upon any subjeCt -until' they.
were sufficiently informed, so as to be able to judo
of its nature andeilea. At present, he should niorti,
" that this House do now adjourn."
Tice E,cirl of 1[101.84 differed .from, his Noble
Friend it; his view of the case under consideration.
Here

The/ Earl of LIMEIICK interposed, ancl oh-
served, that, as the question seemed to be one affeet-
ing the privileges, it may be proper.that the stran,,fers
•
should retire.

The Earl of MOIRA resumed. He said, that
the qUestion by no means all-ea-led the- Privileges of
the House; nor did he see the necessity for taking
the step recoinmended-trj his NOble Friend. The
House had sent a Message to the.CommOns for the
evidence upon which they passed certain Bills; who-
replied, that they would send an answer by Mes-
sengers of theirown. •Though the communication
lead ,not yet been made, it did not, tollow that the
evidence may not
,soon be communicated. The
Commons may not be aware that their Lordships
sat this day ; or another Message may be sent.
With. respect to the Bills- which were affected on
this occasion, they were of considerable/ import-
ance ; one of them was of such obvious public utili-
ty, that he thought the Honde may, without hesita-
tion, forward it, at least in that stage which stood
for this day.
The Duke of CUM BERLAWD was of opinion it
would not be unadvisable to send a second Message
to the Commons, reminding them of the proceeding
upon the first.

The LORD CHANCELLOR seemed, in a great
degree,. to coincide_ in the seuti►nents of .the Noble
Earl who spoke last. Had the subject in question
been one that affeCted the privileges of the' Hotise,
he certainly thought their Loidships.should be atone
While discussing' it. Ali that at preSent appeared on
the face of the proceeding was; that the evidence
whith their Lordships thought proper to have before
them had not been yet cominunicated; they khew
of no reasons whatever, on the part of the Com-
Mons, why the, documentsrrequired had not been
yet sent.
The Earl of LAUDEIWALE spoke in explanatio
Lord lIT4LSINGfI4M was Of 'opinion, that a
subject involving considerations of such importance
should not be hastily deeided; and especially in So.
thiti a House. Their Lordships may recollect, that
a Notice was given of a Motion this day, for taking
the Standing Orders Nos. gG and 135, on Monday,
into consideration, with a view to their suspension.
Were such a proceeding ordered by the House,
and the Bills alluded to not to be forwarded a single
stage this day, their progress would, in consequence
of the suspension, not be ultimately affected, as more
than one stage might then be gone through on Mon-
day, His Lordship concluded by moving, " that the
'above Standing Orders be taken into' cons:deratiOn
on Monday; with a view to their suspension, with,
respect to certain Bills."

•'The Earl of .AlOraa spoke in explanation ;as did ,
the. LORD CiiiWCELLOR, who seemed to_ prove the
suggestion of Lord WALSINOatkAI ; and atter a few
words from the Earl of \VgsTmru, the Lorw
CDANCELLOR, put the 'question for taking the said
Standing Orders into consideration on Monday next,
with reference to the three Bills in question; which
was ordered aceordingry,, and the House immediately
'aijoUrn ed.

.CoNpo N,

MONDAY, JULY 212 180.

YESTERDAY the Hamburgh Mail due on Sunday
se'nnight arriyed, and we also received Frenckand
Dutch Papers, the former to the loth, and the lat-
ter W the 15th, inst. M. D'Ousnit, the, Russian.
Minister, arrived at 'Paris on the 6th inst.,; and it is
pesitively stated, in a letter from Vienna, that his
-mission relates not merely, to- an exChange of Pri-
soners, but that he is authoriscci to open Negotia-
tions for Peace. We'stated some time ago, that the
Cabinets of ,J...,ondpn and St. Petersburgh were acting
in perfe& concert, ' with respe& to the Negotiations
with France, and We at the same time expressed our
opinion. that'BONAPARTE
:would use every artifice in
his power to destroy the harthony subsisting bet Ween
Great Britain and Russia, and to induce each. of them
with him
.
. .
to negotiate with him separately-. Our opinion has
.beeri-fully Confirmed by subsequent events, : BONA 7
-PARTE has actually made use of the same manoeuvre
to Create a coolness between this Country aind Rus-
sia that he did in 1800; btit we trust that it
will not be attended with equals success. It is stated
in a Letter dated from the Banks of the Maine, but
,evidently written in Paris, that BONAPARTE had con-
sented to'an Eichange of Prisoners with Great Bri-
tain„ upon condition that the latter . should consent
to exchange the French Prisoners
.in' England for
Russian Prisoners, of whom, it is stated, that there
ate about 12,000 in France. The motive which in-
- dnced BONAPARTE• to make sur..l a proposition is
too obvious to be mistaken : 'lf it should be ac-
ceded to, ,he will have 12,000 sailors restor-
ed, which would be an incalculable advantage
to him on the other hand,. if it should, be refused,
be ;tatters himself that the Court of St. Petersburgh
will be. offended. In. either case, therefore, he
hopes to derive an important benefit from this insi-

dious proposition. •
Cataro has been given up by the Russians to the Aus-
trians, and has,, have no doubt, been before this
time ceded try the latter to the French. BoNA7
• iikRTE i 3 therefore bionnd, upon every principle of
justice,. to evacuate Germany ; but he will, •we
have no doubt, find some excuse for not with-
drawing his TroOps until his plans for the de-
stru6.lion of every remaining vestige of the .Ger-
.
Manic Constitution have been carried into effea.—
The last letters from Ratisbon state, that the plan of the
-new Constitution 'wasdaily eNpe6ted to be laid before
the Diet. The same letters state, that Hambuigh,
Bremen, and Lubeck, were to 'be taken under the
immediate proteaion. of BONAPARTE.
The Ele&ors of HESSE CASSEL and SAXONY, Who
have hitherto escaped French rapacity, are now like-
ly-to come in for, their share of the general suffering.
It is stated that BONAPARTE demanded, ten months
ago, a Loan of 5,000,000 of rix dollars from the
Eleaor of 1-lEssE CASSEL, which was refused. BONA-
'PARTE did not think it prudent, in the then posture
Of affairs, to, attempt to enforce his demand ; but
the unfortunate policy of. Prussia since that period
'having enabled him
.to realize his. plans for the
subjugation Of' the greater part of the Continent,
he is now detextuined to compel. the Ele&or to
comply With his demand, and Marshal 'BERNA-
DOTTE has been ordered to March into Hesse Cassel
for that purpose. The ELECTOR Of SAXONY has
also been called upon for a loan of six millions,of
rix-dollars, which, under the present circumstances,
he will probably think it prudent to advance.

Alarming symptoms of discontent have, it is said,,
recently appeared at Paris, and among those- whose
opinions and whose condo& are likely to, have no,
small lnOnence on the People. According. to the
account which has been circulated respeaing this
state of things in the French, capital, near forty. of-
the ,Generals- and Senators, among whom are four
Marshals of the'Empire, have resigned their offices.
Marshal 'LANNES, it is said; has aaually been put
under arrest, He is well known to be a restless,
and turbulent charaCiet and be was sent to pit,.
'age Lisbon chiefly to get him out cf the way.
The supposed motives of these rumoured dis 7
contents are, the envy and. jealousy which such men.
must naturally feel on the exaltation of persons not
more deserving than themselves of Imperial favour,.,
!At who have been raised to, the rank Of Princes, and
rewarded with Governments, &c. &c. This, ground,
of dissatisfa&ion is very probable ; and if there be
any truth in the e report'altogther, it is not likely
•
that these, men, would, have proceeded to such, a,
length wigiout. having made previous, arrangements
that may shake BpNAI!ARTE on,. hiSThrone,.- They
May
,well conceive that their Emperor should hav-e

been content with raising his-own family to Crown,
and Principalities, without bktowing similar dis-
tinaions On Faourites and Sycophants. We
know dot what truth there may be in the whole of
this story ; but if arty great .fenneptation' should
really arise in 'France, it will hardly excite much suf.- •
prise ; but on the contrary, might naturally be ek-
-peaed. It, :has been observed that 130NAPARTeS,
power and the vigilance of his ToliCe vould easily
have prevented suet' agitations from assuming a
very formidable shape ; but as his power is chiefly
dependent on his Military Leaders, if they should.
be induced to conspire against him, FoucHi and his
Police would be of little use in the hour of peril.

THE Portsmouth Paper of SaturdayY last contains
the' following information, to which we are by no.
means inclined to give implicit credit
" Portsmouth, July t9.---The Constance Fri-
gate anchored at St. Helen's this afternOon from
a cruize off Cherbourgh, and an-:Officer on board
brings the following important information, viz.
that on Thursday last they boarded the Ame-
rican. Schooner Hope, E. WOODWARD.Master, which
at that moment ihad come out of Cherbourgh ; and
the Master of her declared,- that he had read in
The Moniteur that a Treaty had been , signed
at Paris, between the Emperor and the Porte, by
which the 'former had permission' to march his
Troops' through Thrkey into Egypt. The Officer
who gave this intelligence says, that 'he :has no
doubt whatever of its truth."

.The- case of GL'ItNEY versus LONGMAN and Co.
of which we have given a due report on Thursday and
this day,, involves a question of essential iinpartance
to the Liberty of the Press, the glorious privilege
which has hitherto distinguished. Englishmen tibm
every other people on earth, as well as to a due ad-
ministration of public justice. It Would.not bepome
us to question the judgment of high law authorities,
b'ut all matters that take place in a Court of Judi-
cature cannot be too generally known. By 'the
free. and Oen. circulation of • accurate statements
of Law Proceedings, and their results, people
are taught to have a fuller knowledge of their
rightS and clutis, and they of course rise pro-
portionably in. the scale of moral a&ion. We may,
therefore, while we admit the right, fairly vbs-
tion the policy, of limiting the, publication of such
matters to an individual, which will be of. so much
greater advantage'to the community when eitentled:
to the utmost latitude of a free Press. -

.do not understand that . there has been any
particular alteration in the state-of Mr. Fox's
health for the last two days, but if ,he is not very
obsetvahly better,, there is at Izast.no appearance of
a contrary tendency. '

Yesterday morning the Royal Horse Guard,: and
Staffordshire Militia paraded in Windsor Court-
yard, and were inspeCted. by. His MAJESTY, the
Duke, of CAMBRIDGE, Earl HARRIrGTON, Sir 'H. B.
NEALE, General MANNERS, Bre. "After the in-
spe&ion the Royal Party were joined' by the Prin-
cesses
,AUGUSTA, MARY, and Sornm, and the!
whole walked to St. George's Chapel, and heard a
sermon by Dr. CHAMPNEYS. Ladies ,UXBRIDGE,
NEALE, SUDLEY, and ELY; were at Chapel. After
divine service the Royal Party went to Frogmore,
where Her MAJESTY and the other PRINCESSES were
ready to receive them. ,
The homeward-bound India Fleet, the arrival of
which we announced on Saturday, are now safe in
the- Downs. - During •their passage the followjng
singular circumstance occurred French ;50-gun
Frigate was discovered in the body of the Fleet when,
off the Cape of Good 'Hope, She did not appear'
to, be acquainted with her situation. Captain Os.-
BORNE, in the Tremendous, bore down, upon her,
and considering her an easy conquest, did not tire a,
shot, or open his lower ports, until he came within
hail of the Frigate, who immediately got under 'the
stern of the Tremendous, opened a broadside, 'and
wounded the rigging so as to put it out of her power
to prosecqe the choice. The Frigate got clear off
without any damage. The Charlotte Indiaman after-
WardS pursued her. The Tremend_ous was y nea
enough to discover the:name of the Frigate.; she Is
called. La Canoniere : she sailed originally 'from,
France with the Vapataire and JEROME BONA,
PARTE s Squadron. ,

The above Paragraph is copied from another Paper, but
we are very lima inclined to doubt its accuracy, as it is very
improbable that a French Frigate could have escaped from a
British 74 uhder such circumstances.

Alex. Cochrane, K. B. Commander in •Chicf..pf
His Majesty's-Ships and Vessels at .the Leeward
.Islands, to William Mitrsdetz, Esq. dated at Bar-
&aloes, the 3d June, 1806.

I inclose, for the information a the Lords Com-
missioners of the Admiralty, copies of letters from
Captains Campbell and' Bluett, of His_ Majesty's
Sloops Cygnet and Wasp, giving an account of the
capture ofn French National Schooner and Sloop,
the latter His-Majesty's late Armed Sloop Dominica,
which had' been run away with by. her crew three
or four days before, and carried to Guadaloupe,
where she was immediately commissioned . and
manned with seventy-five men, and sent back with
the Schooner to attempt' cutting out the Merchant
Ships in Roseau Bay, which was happily frustrated,
and one Vessel only, which they had taken 'Josses-
glen of, was re-captured. .
The French General, Hottade, with a party of
Soldiers, were taken on board ,these Vessels; -what
motives could have induced an Officer of his rank to
engage in such petty predatory warfare I am at a loss
to guess, particularly as he was taken without any
uniform► whatever.

serves great-eredit.fdr his exertions; 'hc.irece.ived on
