HOUSE
.OF. COA1.1102VS!:

,SATtYRDAY, MARCH 24.

A. Message from the Lords stated their Lordships'
Assent
.to the Bills for issuing. Ten and a Half and
One and a Half MillionS of Exchequer Bills; also
to the Rum and Spirit Vending Bill, andlhe Felons.
Traniportation 1;d1.
The .House, in a' Committee, went through the
British Fishery and the Irish Treasury Bills' Bills.—
Report on Monday.
Mr. YANS'ITTART presented, pursuant to order, an
Account of the Sums' advanced from the Civil List,
for public purposes, which had not been made good
by Parliament.--Ordered to lie on the Table.
Mr. VANSITTART moved a Return of the Amount
of the Balances remaining in the Exchequer, and in
the hands of the several Treasurers of the Army,
Navy, and ordnance, in the year ending the sth of
January, 1805, and which were allotted to pay off
sums voted for the SerVice of the year 1804.
Mr. LONG observed, that when the Account
moved for should be brought forward it would ap-
pear that the statement which the Noble Lord (the
Chancellor or the Exchequer) had made yesterday
was quite erroneous. That Noble Lord had stated
that .5,000,0001. of the late Loan was to be applied.,
to the discharge of the last year's arrears; thus cast-
ing a refleaion upon the judgment and financial
calculations of his Right Hon. Friend • (Mr. Pitt).
But it would be seen that the arrears alluded to
were not those of last year merely, but all accumu-
lation of several years, It would, however, be re-
colloled by all who were. acquainted with our finan-
cial history, that arrears had .accrued almost every.
year to be provided for from the Ways and Means
of the succeeding year. The balances .of the Re-
-venue of the last year were, he.contended, more
than sufficient to cover the deficiencies complained
arising in that year. Thus much he thought
it' necessary to say in tindication of the condu6.l of.
his illustrious Friend, the Noble Lord's predecessor.
Mr. LiNSIr&IRT maintained that his Noble
Friend had not described the arrears alluded to by
the-Right Hon. Gentleman as those of the last year,.
but, on the contrary, 'as the result of Several years :
on the whole amounting to more than. 5,000,0001.
Mr. CANNING took fire at the recollection of
those remarks which wereamade .yesterday by the
Chancellor of 'tie Exchequer.. At . the time he
hcard.them he was surprized, but since then he-had
had recourse to the proper sources of information, ,
and had learned that the suf4s yet to be received
were more than Sufficient to meet the expenditure
of that year. • Therefore :assets remained to cover
the debts: Sucb.being the fat% becould not help
complaining of the unfair, illiberal refle6tions which
the statement made by the' Noble Lord was calcu-
lated to produce with regard to the condud and cha-
racter of his lamented Friend (Mr. Pitt).
Lo TEMPLE observed upon the-,Right Hon..
Gentleman's angry solicitude to resist any injurious
allusion to the memory of his late Friend, for whom
there were many, who felt quite as Warm an interest
and attachment as that Right Hon. Gentlefilan
could pretend to.. However', as the Right Hon.
Gentleman professed to feel so trnach umbrage. at
any refieaon upon.his Right Hon. Friend; because
he was no more, it was' rather strange, that he should
attempt to throw out refleaions
,upon his Noble.
:Friend (Lord H. Petty), who was absent..
Mr. CANNING appealed to the- House, whe-
ther it indicated any want
,of proper feeling-or libe-
rality to submit the remarks he.had made in the ab
Fence the Chancellor of the Exchequer; and-
whether it was not extraordinary and, unparliamenta-
ry in such nn Officer .to be absent from the House
on the Report of his own Budget.
Mr. W;iinnAm. gave 'notice that he would on
Wednesday bring forward his Plan for the Defence
of the Country, for the produelion of which • some
Gentlemen on the other side
..had so prematurely
manifested such impatience.

Mr. HAWTHORN brought up the Report of the
COMMietee of Ways and Means; and on the Motion
for reading the Resolutions, •
Mr. li.nooKs gave notice of his intention to sub-
mit some objeaions to the proposed Duty on Sugars,
which he conceived w be rather a Tax on the Plant-
eri than op the Consumers.

Mr. FlusicissoNalso gave notice that he would,
on'Monday, make some addition to the Financial
Statethent which he had made yesterday. ,•
Mr. FRANCIS said that he should avail himself of
the same opportunity to make some remarks upon
the Property Tax.
Lord H. PETTV moved that the several Resolti
tions, excepting the two_ should' be postponed
till Monday. ' .. • ,

.
The .SpEAF. K.a observed, that he understood the
discussio?.. postponed till Monday, and that the

,
to UF, as .F.cu whether it was intended to grant any

who had stnidl incomes ; also to those who had
merely annuities'for life ?

Mr. ROSE suLiaitted the propriety of postponing
the discussion of .this question till Monday.
,Lord H. PETTY, hOwever, thought, proper to an-
swer Mr. Babington. • It was, he said, intended al-
together to exempt :Military Officers and Clergymen
'of a certain income ; , but to Life Annuitants no si=
,znilar exemption was to be granted.
Lord H. PETTY'S Motions were.agreed to.

There is strong ground to hope that the four
French Frigates, which lately,escaPed from Cadiz,
have beer captured; they were seen by Admiral
COLLINGWOOD'S Fleet soon after they sailed, and
four Sail of .the Line were detached in chace of
them.

- IVe received on Saturday night and yesterday-rom-
plete sets of French and Duich Papers, the former
to the 23th inst. and the latter to the f29th. It, is
stated, in a Letter in a Dutch Paper, from Naples,
dated February 28th, that the two Calabrias had sub-
mitted to the French, that the Levy en Mci.ise had
dispersed, and that the PRINCE ROYAL had embarked
for Sicily. We have never for a moment doubted
that the French would ultimately gain pOssession Of ,
the whole of the Kingdom of Naples, although the
PRINCE ROYAL might have been enabled to keep them
in check for some time in Calabria, particularly if
it were true,' as was stated in the last accounts, that
he had been joined by the English and Russian
. Troops : but there is every reason' to believe that
this statement was unfounded. Indeed, unless an
effeanal resistance' could have been opposed to the
French, it would have been highly injudicious to have
exposed the British and Russian Troops fo the danger
of being captured. We do not, 'however, believe,
that the French are yet in possession of Calabria,
because the .M'oniteur is silent upon the subjed,
and if the entire conquest of the- .Kingdom of
Naples had been effeelcd, it would certainly
'have been mentioned in the 'French °falai Pa—
per. Prince. Josciur, notwithstanding his great
humanity, has, it ,is said, been compelled to
exercise considerable severity on several persons hi
Naples, whO 'have been guilty of the 'unvardonable
criMeM loyalty to their Sovereign.

-The French and- Prusgian Goftrarnents are pre-'
cceding with great rapidity to carry into effeci the
territorial exchanges which have mutually been
agreed upon, or • rather to which Prussia has
been compelled to agree. It is, , evident that -
BONAPARTE has dictated these changes to Prussia,
and that he only.left to that CoUrt the alternative
of War Or acquiescence. Indeed the KING of PRUSSIA,
in the Proclamation which, he issued in order to ac-
quaint his Subjects of Neufchatel and Valangin, that
those Countries were ceded to France, states,that " con
. siderations of the greatest importance, founded on the
lost pressing interests of the whole Monarchy, have,
obliged us to acquiesce, &c. &c." He, after expressing
his regret at the loss of such estimable Subje&s, pro-.
ceeds ais: " We cannot dissemble how,much that
voluntary resignation is better for you than the fate of
a conquered Country, which might otherwise be your
lot." •

This language is too plain to be mistaken ; but it
is not only ,territorial, cessions which his PRUSSIAN
MAJESTY is•called upon to inalie—rhe is publicly and
grossly insulted hi the French Official Paper, through
the mediuni of his Confidential Minister. In corn-
. meriting upon the Note written by Count HARDEN-
BERG to. Lord HARROWBY in Decetaber last, the
Moniteur not only declaims in the strongest man-
ner against; thp. English Governtnent for-publishing
it, but attacks Count 'HARDEN-BERG in the most
abusive terms. With respectto the English Go-
vernment, are convinced that there is nd founda-
.
tion for the charge made in the Manite-ur. The
Note in question was first published in a German
Journal, and was afterwards published in the Eng-
lish 'Papers but with regard to the other part of
the article to,Which'we allude, though the. attack, is'
made upon. Count HARDENBERG nominally, it is
in Oa directed against the Prussian Government,
because it cannot for a moment be supposed that he
would have written'such a Note without the autho-
rity of his. Sovereign.

It is stated in the Paris Papers that the-French Army
is immediately to be put upon the Peace Establishment,
but we cannot 'suppose that, BONAPARTE would,
under the present state of Europe, reduce his Arniy;
it probably only means that the National Guards,
Which were called out when the French Army en-
tered Germany, are to be disembodied. There
can be no doubt that as long, as Russia las such a
formidable force in Poland, BoriArA trri will neither
reduce his Army, nor withdraw 40, pz,4. of it from

Germany. It Is stated, in private letters, that
has applied to the-Court of; Vienna for pet:mission
to march an Army through. Bohemia,- for the pur,
pose,of attacking the rtussitis, we do:nof think
it probable that 'BONAPARTE has seriously such an
object in contemplation; the 'demand.. was pro-
bably made, *to induce the Cabinet of Vienna to
prevail upon the EMPEROR of. RUSSIA to withdraw
his Troops.
A Letter from Stutgard, dated the iGth inst.
sv4-tes, that the fate of Pomerania will be decided
by the end of this month, and that the ,French
Troops will then commence their march for that
Province, if not previo.usly occupied by the Prus4

IT is stated, that, further Dispatches have been re-
ceived from the French government, and that, they
probably contain an Answer to the Letter transmitted
by Mr. Fox. These Dispatches are said to have
been landed at Deal on Friday; but our Letters from
Deal are silent upon the subjeet, we are therefore
inclined to doubt the accuracy of the statement.

Meditated Assassination of Bonaparte.—On Mon-

was made by the Magistracy of Hamburgh, assisted
by the French- Minister and ail the. French •inha-
bitants, tArciughotit the whole of that city and its
environs. Every .. hotel, inn, and public-house,
were inspeaed with the most pointed scrutiny. At
an inn of the second sort a French Officer was seized,
whose appearance accorded striElly With the de-
scription in the hands of, the Police. •On his being
arrested he immediately exclaimed, " take me, • and

over in the last- Harnbucg-h Mail, was very nearl7

evening• Altona 'experienced a similar diligence of
search, as it' was supposed the party might have

SIR,

It is with pleasure I transmit, for the information
ofthe Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, the
copy, of a Letter which received from Capt. Hall,
of the Malabar, • inclosintone from Capt. McKenzie,
of the Wolfe, whose cantina on this occasion I feel

to reward Merit, will, I am sure, shew-their 'approba-

His Majesty's Ship Malabar, off Portihara.
SIR, cleroes, Island of Cuba, Tan. 2, 1806.

.I. have the greatest satisfaction in having it in my
power to acquaint you, that his Majesty's Ship under
my command, and his Majesty's Sloop Wolfe -have
this day captured Le Regulateur and Le Napoleon,
two of the largest French Schooner 'Privateers out of
St. Jago, protected by a double reef of rocks.
,Capt.
MeKenzie, whose vigilance deserves every praise,
saw oti‘&-of them go in this morning, On coming
off the Port I sent 'the Master to sotn for anchor-
age, who found a passage on the reef, through which
the Wolfe, Was successfully- conduaed; and most
ably anchored musket-shot of the Enemy,
attended by the Boats of both Ships manned and
armed. Le Regulateur was \arrnedwith a brass, is
pounder, four 6-pbunders, and manned with eighty
men. Le Napoleon was armed with. one long g..
pounder, two ti.velve-paunder carrot-lades,
‘aterl, two
Your-pounders, and
,manned with sixty=six men
and it is but justice to say they were well defend-
ed; the :talon continuing without intermission an.
hour and three quarters, when the survivors of the.:
crews abandoned them, and landed in the woods,'
four only being made prisoners, one •-ef whom is
mortally wounded:- They were then towed without
the reefs, when-the Regulateur (a remarkable fine
Schooner) stork, and 1 am sorry to Av. Thomas
Smith, a"_ Marine belonging to his Majesty's Ship
under -my _command, went down in her '1 except
,this man 1 have pot sustained any loss. The Offi-
cers, Seamen, and Marines of the Malabar di*,
charged their eaty most perfealy to my satisfac-
tion. ; Mr. Thomas Fotheringhani, the Master, de-
serves particular praise for having, in- the shortest
time, e%amincd the Passage, so that the Wolfe
could be taken in,- a circumstance the Enemy had
not the least idea could be attempted, and without
which the conquest, had it been effeaed, must
have been attended with very serious loss : it is
therefore attributable to the gallant, cool, and able
manner in which the Wolfe was cope': aed and
fought, and which, I beg leave to offer my opinion,
merits the fullest acknowledgments to Capt. M'Ken-
zie, and likewise to his Officers and Ship's Com-
pany. •

_
beg leave to inclose a Copy of c.v. McKenzie's
Letter to me on the occasion, with his Report of
Killed and Wounded on board the Wolfe..
I have the honour to be, &c.

SIR,

I have the honour to acquaint you, in compliance
With your orders, I proceeded with his Majesty's
Ship under my command to cover the Boats destin-
ed 'fertile attack of the two French Privateers in this
Port; but, on approaching, I found them moored
so advantageous a situation, and so well prepared, I
thought it would be imprudentto allow them to pro-
ceed, I therefore stood in six fathoms water, within
a quarter of a mile of the Enemy, and opened my
fire, which was continued Mle hour and threq quay,
teis, when I perceived the Enemy were quitting the,
Vessels ; the Boats were then ordered to proceed,
and take possesSion. - They proved to be Le Regula-
te* and Napoleon Schdoners ; the former a most
beautiful Vessel, mounting one long 18 and four
6-pounders, brass, with eighty men ; the other a
very fine. Vessel, also with one long 9, two 12-pound
carronades, two fours, and 66 men. It gives me in-
finite.satisfataion to bear testimony to the cool and
determined bravery diSplayed by every OffiCer and
man I bad the honour to command ; nor can I omit
expressing my warmest (hanks to Mr. 'l'. Fothering-,
ham (Master of the Malabar) for the very judicious
manner in which' he condu&ed the Ship to anchor;
.and also the Officers and Crew of the Malabar's
Launch
.and Jolly-boat, who volunteered their ser-
vices at the guns. I have a most heartfelt satisfac-
tion in having .so-. small a list of killed and wounded
to subjoin. The loss "Of the Enemy could not be
ascertained ; but; from the appearance'ofthe decks,
it must have been great. I am sorry to add, the
Regulate* sunk a short time after being in our pos..
session-, by which two unfortunate wounded French
men'were lost.

I have the honour to remain, &c.
