EXCHEQUER. BILLS.

On the Motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EX-
CHEQUER, the House then resolved itself into a
Committee of Ways and Means, and,Mr. ALEi.E-
AND.E4 having taken the Chair,

The CHANCEL.pRiethi'EXCHEOUER rose,_
merely to state to the Committec the necessity of
corning to a Resolution with respett to defraying the
Interest incurred in consequence of enlarging the
'Venn with the Holders of Exchequer Bills, from
Tuesday till Saturday, as he had stated on a former
day : this was done in pursuance of the Resolution
for tour days, and he mentioned the regular rate of
interest 31-d. per day for the above interval, He
then moved a Resolution, for the purpose of carrying
the same into effect, to the following import

" That all Monks, &c. received by the Cashie.,
or Cashiers, of the Bank, shall be 'applied to the
Payment of the Interesr that maybe due the zgth
of November, rSoi, on certain Exchequer Bilvi
pursuant to the Resolution of the 17th of November),
in like manner as direned by the said Resolution.

The C:IANcr.LLoR of the EXCI:EQUER, then,
after recurring, in a very few words, to his State
merits, and the Resolutions of the Committee 01'
a forum occ;ision, moved, f:iarthe stnn of rive
Nlilliozls by way of loan, be raised on 1.:-xchequer,
Bills."
Mr. ROBSON expressed his surprise at sucli
a Motion, for no less than the grant of Five Mil'
lions of money, should be mode in sued scat

which he seemed to consider as, in so;-:e degrce'
taking the }Joust, by surprise.

The Cli ANcELLO.I? of' r e E.VCITEQUEgi
repelled the idea that such a construction could
possibly be put on any thing that had ps:ied in ill'
Committee that evening. Had the lionourahic
Gentleman given himself tEe trouble to recolleAl
or -to consider what had passed on former days
the Committee, he could not consider the 11110tioil
then before them as suddenly made. Tile Motion
.was only for the purpose of giving effeft to %al°
the Committee -lid resolved upon already.
fuse had, on a former night, come to a deterrriio',
titan, that Exchequer Bills to a certain amount
should be funded. It was obviously understood at
same time, that Exchequerßills to a certain amount
should be issued .to replace them. The Motion be'
fore the Committee was. merely, he repeated, for tile'
,purpose of formally giving effett to what the
hatl: already agreed to.

Mr. ROBSON stated that he had no idea that
a Motion ibr a Loan on Exchequer Bills to such
amount would be brought forward that evening'
He was aware that Exchequer Bills were wantd:
but at the same time felt. it was improper to cony
so suddenly with such a Motion. No Gelitlern3o
he believed knew, except those connefted wt
Administration, that a Vote for Five
would go through its first.stage chat evening. 14e,
wished the Right Hon. Gentleman would postpa;
the Motion. He put it/to the House, that tbel
‘‘ stood in the eyes of the Public," who should SC',
that they were scrupulous in voting away its moneP
even to a farthing.

Mr. BRAGGE obscri,ed, he had a word or Ovn°
to offer on the present occasion. He would beg 11,
tell the Hun. Gentleman, that the Pobiie were 11°
so ignorant, or so ill informed, as not to he. able ,-
distinguish between new matter brought furwara
the deliheratiou of the House, did a procee4lif:7
which was merely, as his Right Hon. Friend haa°";
served, to give effeft to its resolutions on a forolcht
occasion; and the Hon. Gentleman himself should
aware that the same attendance in point of numbers'
was neither necessary nor expedeti nt the afteri
stages of any Bill, which at its iotroduElion
early stages had been duly discussed ;
of such Bills was, in a great
.decree, regarded ,(*.'

Mr. R 0 Ikso4 replied, that he felt it h(s
to have made theie.Observations it was right tl4
when millions mete voted away, there should I;e ;

hers were not a sufF)ent attendance for an origir,
vote of five mil lions ; from his general par
mentary condua, Ministers had 'no right to thiP,
him capable of taking an advantage on that scorn;
his efforts were to serve, nor to clog the pub
service and insisted he had frequently interferer,
with good effect....-Hisobjcaions that eveningi,

incontrovertibly right....if by his exertions
could, save only 'cool. to the, Publi;, it was Pra
duty to do so. •
The Question was then put, and the Resolal
was agreed to; after which the House resumed, 12
ordered the Report to be received to-tnorrow.

\Nre ibis morning reeeived Paris Paprs to the

elligence. The Civil Code and t'he 'arrangement of
t Fina4es, occupy the attention of the Legisla-

Ey an article from the Ilagzze, of 'tile r Bth ilt. it
41Vears that the Administrations of the Batavian

It will be seen from the Parliamentary lirciceed-
ts of last night, that Lord GLENIVERVIE proposes,

his

*don on the Subjeft of the Intercourse between
LI Country and France, and her Allies. The ar.

Irl a political and a commercial view.

fish principles, or impelled by the blackest pas.
tiOnt, could see nothing but ruin in the Cesiation of
4pstility with, Franco; condemned the Peace as being
14 disgraceful to the Charaeter, as they represent_
lit it rttia6us to the Interests of this Country ;
anothat set of men had the audacity to assert,
Ilkt Necessity could be the only plea urged in de.
tkte of the terms thi had been obtained.—lf these
11ta will not take our opinion of the nature of the

`'der which it was made, and which have been so
Ikply confirmed by the Discussions in Parliament,

Perre6l confidence of iljeir conviEtion, the autho-

tIY of the Chief Consul of France himself ?
'rot the view of the situation of the French

A Council was yeterdayTheld at Lord RAWKES.
BURY'S Office, which was attended by the Duke of
PORTLAND, and several of the Cabinet Ministers.

Earl ST. VINCENT, we belieVe, is a firm friend
to the Corps of Marines, in which case their Peace
Establishment will probably bear some proportion to
their distinguished Services during the War.
A Brevet Promotion will be made in the Army,
previous to its redulion to, a Peace establishment.
We can assure our Readers, from a very respea_
able authority, that there never \: as the slightest
foundation for the report of the Earl of CHATHAM'S
going out to India.

Yesterday being St. Andrew's Day, the Roya
Society -held their Anniversary Meeting at their
apartments in Somerset. Place, when the President,
the Right Hon, Sir JOSEPH BANKS, Bart. B. in
the name of the Society, presented the Gold Medal
(called Sir GODtREY COPLEY'S) to Mr. ASTLEY
Coom, for his Paper on the Effects which' take
place from the Destruction of the Membrana Tym..
pani of the Ear; with an Account of an Operation
for the Removal of a particular species of Deafness.
The President deliliered the customary discourse on
the subject contained in Mr. Coop rit's Paper.
Afterwards the Society proceeded to the choice
of the Council and Officers for the ensuing year,
when on examining the ballots, it appeared that. the
following Gentlemen were eleaed of the Council :
Of the old Council, the Right Hon. Sir JOSEPH
BANKS, Bart. K. 8., Sir CH4RLES BLAGDEN, Knt.
HENRY CAVENDISA, Esq., EDWARD. WHITAKER

At a meeting of the Non-commissioned Officers
and Privates of the Norfolk Loddon TrOop of
Volunteer Yeotnanry Cavalry, on Wednesday last
at Loddon. it was unanimously agreed to offer a
continuance of their services, and to hold them.
selves in readiness to defend their' King and Con-
stitution, free of expence to Government, at the same
time the Corps begged Captain SMYTH and the•
Officers to accept their warmest -thanks for their
great attention to them from the year 1794 to the
present period, and that Capt. SMYTH would make.
a tender of their further services to their Sovereign.
The Times, a Paper more remarkable than ever
for its tergivetsation and want of ,principle, affects
to support the present Ministers by abusing their
Predecessors. 'We have very much mistaken the
dm-rafter of Mr. ADDINGTON, and that of every
one of his Colleagues, if they do not lbok with
aversion upon a support which is given at the ex-
pence of truth, honour, -and gratitude.—The present
Ministers wisely followed up the plans for the
Campaign which their Predecessors had projeded,
and were aftually executing when they retired from
office, and the most complete success was happily
the result.--The Times transfers the merit of these
plans wholly to the present men in power.—We have
many topics for eulogium ,which we could adduce
on behalf, of the present Ministers, but we can
never praise them at . the expence of truth, a praise
indeed from which they themselves would revolt
with indignation.—While we, sincerely and disin.
terestedly Support Mr. ADDINGTON, we can never
forget what is due to the public services of Mr.:
PITT.

Fats are every day coming to light; which prove
that some nefarious arts ate used in keeping up the
Price of Corn- in the London Market. At a meet-
ing in the Borough on Vriday, to consider of the
propriety of petitioning Parliament against the pro-
posed Measure of allowing the Distilleries to re-
comMen& Distillation from Corn, a Mr. Ottivir
Mentioned the following circumstanee, which took
placea fortnight ago in Mark-Lane i A great man
came into the Market, and went round to all the
Factors, and said; " Put by all your best Wheats
for me, and I will give you Seven Shillings per
quarter advance on last Monday's prices." He
succeeded with them all but one, who would not
let him have mote than half. He tried the Market
last Monday in the same way, bdt could not suc-
ceed from the quantity in the Market. What was
all this for ?. To get rid of the large quantities of
Foreign Cora he had in hand.,
Great praise is due to Mr. Alderman SIII4IIER,
for the part he is taking in procuring the Repeal
of the Bill respeding the Assize of Bread, which
he himself introduced. Than Bill he brought for-
ward from the beSt motives in the world; but tit-
cumstances have-now so much Changed, that •it has
become detrimental to the 'Public ;. the Worthy
Alderman, therefore, from Consideration for the
public good, is aaive in the repeal of his own tnea,
sure.

On Saturday evening, about eight o'clock, two
