When we were re-admitted into the Gallery,

Mr. WILBERFORCE was stating, that he had
on Friday last, given notice that he should propose
,to refer the Fourth Report of the Committee on the
High Price of Provisions, to the Committee of Sup.
ply, but since then he had understood, that this
could not be done consistently with the Foula of
the House, therefore, he should not make a Propo-
sition to that efred. He would not now enter Into
a detail of the measures which, in his opinion, ouelt
to he adopted ; he would merely state, that, in his
opinion, a sum of money ought to be advanced to
those Parishes which stood most in need of relief,
without any idea of re-payment from the Parish ot
County.

should have been put off so long. He knew that
there were many persons who looked up with the
most anxious hope of deriving relief from tLe
sures which that House might adopt, and therefore,
he hoped, that as little delay as possible might take
place.
Mr. BURDON disapproved of the idea of grant.
ing Money, without its being repaid.
Mr. I. 11. ADDINGTON said, he merely rose
to vindicate the House of Commons from that
ration of delay which had been thrown out by the
Hon. Gentleman who had spoken last but one. The
lion. Gentleman and the House must be aware, that
this was a question of immense magnitude, appli.
cable to new circumstances, and founded upon new
principles. It was necessary, therefore, to proceed
with great caution, lest a door should be opened to
claims, which could not, with propriety, be arced.
td to—and he• was sure, that there was as great
a dizposition to attend to, and ralieve the Distresses

of the Poor, on the part of thcise'i•hti *ere entrusted
with this business, as there could be on the part of
the Honourable Gentleman, or any other petsdri
▪ whatever.
Mr. HAWKINS explained: .
Mr. ROBSON rose to make a fni observations,
• but was called to order, there being no Question
. before the House. He then moved; that the House
should he counted, when there not being Forty
Members present, the House adjourned at Six

THE regular intercourse now carried on with
France, has put us in possession of the Paris Paper;
to the tBth inst: which reached us Yesterday even.
ing by Express. They bring us but one important
Article : a Letter from the Military Chief of the
French Army of the East, which, though from
the same place, and of the same date as the Let_.
ter of LE ROY, contains subsequent and very in-
teresting intelligence, and supplies, in some degree,
the chasm in the accounts of the Maritime Prefeet,
between the 13th and the 16th ult. It informs tis,
'that on the morning of. the isth, the English at:.
tacked the Fort of Aboukir, a measure which we
yesterday anticipated, but gives no account of the
result of the attack. The rapid manner in which
the Writer proceeds to mention the strength .of
Alexandria, would lead to the supposition, that he
meant to console the Republic for the loss of one
Fot t,. by. the probability of preserving the other.
Reviewing the whole of the Intelligence received.
- during the last two
,days from Egypt by the way
of France, it seems evident, by the
9 -&:tifqsion of
..•.530 •
the Enemy themselves, that ourrAs!roopi,s unothat
day pushed forward as far as thertould go, that is
to say, their right had extended 'itself to Alexan-
dria, their'frort had pushed on as far as that branch:
of the Nile which serves as a Canal to that City,
and' their left had advanced far into the neck of
;and- which . separates that Canal from .the Lake
Sfaclii. It is probable that' Sir RALPH Aunt-
caot,tv? would have immediately :endeavoured to
fortify .himself on that narrow ground, and to con.
centrate his Troops there, in order to make head
against` the main body of MENOU with Only part of
his force, while the other would remain before
Alexandria. Thus the small Army of SirßALrit
appears to us to have been already divided into two
bodies, the one of them for siege, the other for ob-
servation`: and, as is always the case in ?lath situa-
tions, every thing must depend ore the success with
which the_ latter will be able to oppose the French
Corps that may endeavour to relieve Alexandria.
It gives us considerable confidence on this head,
to,see that although the English Fleet had from the
Ist of March threatened to disembark, and although
it had as early as the Bth carried this into execution,
General ME army had on the 16th made no move-
ment forward, although all the Forces at his disposal,
had, as early as the it th, been colleied at Rahma-
;lia. This iiiaaivity proves to us one of two things,
either that MENou was greatly inferior in strength,
or that our Troops. had effeEled a disembarkation at
iomeTother point, which had suspended the movelbents
hnd divided the Forces of the Fre-neh General. We
have no doubt that both these cases- may he true at
once, and we are led to believe so with respea
to the second, by observing, that the Letter of
LE ROY, who would certainly have exaggerated
the number of men opposed to them, does not state
it at more than 12,cm. Now, as we know that
Sir RALPH ABERCROMBY had a greater number
than this, we are led to believe that he had disem-
barked very little more than the half of his Troops
at Aboukir, and had, landed the rest on.the other
side of the -Delta. This situation of affairsNe
repeat it, which would'be improved in a still more
decidive manner by the smalleSt co-operation on the
side of Suez, or on the side of El-Aristh, is calcu-
lated, in concurrence with the prophetic and melan-
choly style of the Moniteur, to inspire us with the
most confident hope's. •
We this morning heard, from what we consider
'as very respeaable authority, that private ac-
counts received yesterday from Parisi intimate
that Sir RALPH ABERCROMBY had been received
with such favour, by the Native Powers of Egypt.,
and had been so successful against the French, that
at Paris they Considered the question...rappening
Egypt as very nearly. settled. 01 )3 -5h r.
