Dr. lAMES's POWDER.

THIS MEDICINE, which is:so superior to all
. others in efficacy, certainty, and safety, 'should ever
be given on the first attack of the Disorder ; for, if it be not
Sufficient of itself to elket a cure (as in Ithermitient and
Putrid Fevers), it is allowed to be the best Preparative for„,
and Concomitant with, the Bark and othqr Remedies which
the symptoms require. But as the genuine Powder has been
often known to restore the Patient,- after its substitutes, and
every other febrifuge, have faile.l, 'it ought to be tried -even
in the last extremity. Great benefits have been derived front
the Powder in Disorders thought beyond the reach of Me-
dicine, when taken every night, as an Alterative ; and, from
the success of Me Rev. Mr. Singleton ,Flaimr,--of
there is reason to believe that it may prove a Remedy in the

The Order of yesterday having -been read f.)r the
J(idges tO•dellyer their opinions this day seriati,.l, on,
the question referred to theni,
Mr. Baton SitzToN adaressM the House, but in'
so low a tone of voice that .wO could not'preci.sAY
colle& his 4iniOn, 'but' Unckrsiood it to 6e, that.
as a general 'principle; a Witness - might be required'
to answer a question, the answer to which did not
r4ider hirri_liable-to criminal proseCutien,/ to penalty,
or forfeiture, but did acknowledge, or tend 'to ac-'
knowledge, a debt, recoverable by a civil su;,t, This,
however, With exeeption • - -
Mr. Baron GRALUI.M. was 'of the same opinion,
•which he contended was conforthable to: the general
prindiples' of Law as well as the pra6tice of tl:e7
Courts. - . .

Mr. JUStice CI-lAMERE took a similar ground of
argument, but in greater detail, contending, that a
-Witness under such circumstances might be required-
fO'answer ; otherwise, if a contrary principle pre.;.
vailed, that a:Witness could.not be compelled to an-- -
sWe'r,' beca-ose the answer might atTe6i his interests,
it could scarcely be possible in any.case to obtain the:
truth; or do justice between'' party and party.
agreed, however, that there were exceptions to'the-
deneral rule. -
Mr. Justice LE BLANC and' Mr.,- Justice' Lath-'
FENCE were of the same,opinion. _
Mt'. Justice QUOSE, on the coutraijt, contended,
that . there was no established Rule Of LaW, or- any-
precedents of sufficient authority by which a-Wit-.
ness could be required to ansWer when the- etica
of that answer might be to render him liable to civil
a&ion, in consequence of his being torerd to ac-
knowledge a debt, or that he • was wrongfully iu
f.7.-4.:pprii or 1p 114 Ar 'other
acknOwledinient.initrionvto: his :nteresis.

Mr. Justice 1100E.E concurred in the saute opinion
he deprecated tone'establislitnient of such, a principle;
as that of compelling a Witness to answer under
the cifeilinStanCes'Jneritioned, as persons might in
that case be .compelied to make acknowled4ments,
the effec:.:t 4)1 wt.itit would be ruinous, to ,thedisel;;;eS
and their fam;lies ; whist:.-on- the other hand, in
order to avert such consequences, they would have
a strong terfitiiation to yerfur.y. Inc the coKr.,:ie„ of

INDIA AFFAIRS.'
' .21d.eipiz'an PIUNSEP rose to make a Motion,
Which .I.vould have 'for its" objet to ascertain the
amount' of, the capital- borrowed in India for the
purpose of carrying on the. Commerce of the Com-
pany : he also. wished.; to ascertain whether the
amount'of Stores exported had been included in the
Annual Account .of t heTerritori al Revenue.. He con-
chided by moving, first,' for an Account of the Annual
..Arnoltqt of the Stores exported to China, from the ,
'lst of‘March; 1793, to the Ist of March, 1804. His
second Motion was 'preciSely similar, and related to
India.

- Mr. FRANCIS seconded the Motion, and de-
clared he should be at all times ,ready to second a'i)d

Mr. HILEY "IDD f.AfGTON" expressed himself
obliged to the honourable Alderman for having
given previous notice of his present Motion. He
hoped also, that the House would consider how re-
cently he and his
,Colleagues had been
_appointed to
the situation they held, and that they could not be
expekted at once to decide with regard to the pro-
priety:of producing particular Papers that mightbe
called for. He felt no partkcular objee-tion to the
Motion now before tile House he-only trusted that
a v.ery..early compliance with it would not be ex-
pe#ed, as the Clerks of the Office were at present
busy in preparing for the India Budget.
Sir T. METCALE said, that whatever might
be the professions of. an Hon. Member who had
latelyasat -down, he could not consider him as a
great friend.to the East India Company : he con-

tended that no blame ought to be thrown on. 'the
Cotirt of Diro:itors,dh account of the captute of

the Dispatches by the French. This he stated to
have been owing to an unforeseen accident. which

no vigilance could. have prevented, The cord which
attached to the sand bags used for the purpose of
sinking the packages had been severed by a ctiain-
shot, and one of the packages was picked up by the
Enemy. The Journals of every Ship 'ere uniform-
ly laid before.the Direaors,:and no instances of mis-
condu& or negligence were overlooked.
Mr. FRANCIS contended, that the explanation
now giveri of the loss of the Dispatches was by no
means satisfa&ory, and that neglect was chargeable
_ somewhere, in that the packages were not loaded
with shot, tOr the purpose of sinking imniediately.
He also called upon the Hon. Member, with. great
Warmth, to make good his charge, that he was no
frjend to the East India Company ; and 'was pro-
ceeding to enter into farther discussion, when he was
Called to order by •
The SPEAKER, who observed, that the House al-
lowed a'Member to reply to any personal charge
that might be brOught against him,! but could not
, .
permit nun to go over the same grounds that he
h.ad already occupied. -
Sir T. METCALFE explained.
The Papers moved for were then ordered. '
• CORN 131 LT..

Lord TEMPLE rose to obierve, that an omission,
that 'might be attended with much inconvenience,
had, taken place in the Corn Regulation AEI of last
session_ NuClaties allowing the Export-of .Corn•to.
ciur'd-acrlsons abroad had been introduced intOit. To
remedy this omission, he gave notice of his Inten-
tion. to move for leave to bring in a distinct Bill, perr
resitting such Exportation, on Monday next.
Lord.TgmPcb also moved,
.that-the House should
t4en.,reSolve itseif into a Committee to considei the
Exportation ofWool and.Woolleri Articles from the
Eritish Colonies to the UniteaKingcloms."
Sir 7P.' STEVENS brought Up-the Marine Mutiny
Fill; which was ozsiered,.to a CommitteeOn Tuesday
next.
Mr. VANSITTART moved,- that the House at its
rising do adjourn to Monday,

St. Vincent's AnrMit'y. Bill. 'The Resolution, that. the
onnuity should, be 'extended to the two next Heirs

LAST night we received Paris Papers to the'2oth
ultimo.

The French Army entered the Neapolitan Domi-
nions on the gth ult, on which day the Advanced
,Ouard passed the River Garigliano, which divides the
States of the Churchsfrom the Kingdom of Naples.
On thefollOwing day Prince JOSEPH BONAPARTE,
who commandS the. Army; addressed a Rroclama-'
Lion to the People, which will be found in a subse-
quent ColuMn, and which the extreme, pressure of
-other matter obliges us to leave to, speak for itself,
without further comment.

THE great length of the Gazette renders it im-
possible- for us to lay before our Readers the Re-
monstrance of Mr. MONROE, the American Mini-
ster to the. British Government, on the. subject of
the interruption of the Ainerican. Commerce by
British Cruizers. —ln this Remonstrance' Mr.
MONROE does not , enlarge much upon the im-
pressing of American Seamen ; for he admits that
" the United States 'are aware, from the similarity
in the person, in the manners, • and above all, the
identity 'of- the
.lariguage, which is common to the
people of both Nations, that the subject-is a difficult
one. They are equally aware, that to Great Britain
also it is a delicate one, and they have been willing,
in seeking an arrangement of this important interest,
to give a proof, by the mode, of their very sincere de-
sire to cherish the relations of friendship-with her."
The 'principal point which he labours to establish is,
that the Trade of Neutrils oughtnot to be interrupted
by Belligerent Powers, except in the-cases of their
at-
tempting to enter a Blockaded Port, or of their hav-
ing on board article's which come under the descrip-
tion of Contraband of War. The advantages which
Neutral .•States would derive from the establishment
of this principle are obvious ; but it would be equally
beneficial to France, or any other Power with which.
we might happen 'to be at War, because it would
render our Naval Superiority a-no avail, as far
as relates to the prevention of Commerce he-
tween Frar.ce and her Colonies. The discus-
sions upon this point will, we apprehend, be in-
volved in considerable difficulty ; but we trust that
they will be conduced with temperance, aad that the
American government will,not suffer itself to be in-
fluenced by the violence and rashness of interested .
.Individuals.

Yesterday morning two post chaises were seen to
stop QII the Mkt) Road, -a short distance from the
entrance near Bientli)td, when a party of six persons
aligLted and went into a field, where preparations
were made for an affair of honour. After ,the'
distanee had beed taken, two brace of pistols were
fired, and'one of the party fell. The person who it
was supposed wad wounded was carried to one of the
chaises in waiting, and driven to the Packhorse,
Turnhatp-Green, and the other party drove off to-
wards. Afton. The names of the parties were not
known, or the cause of dispute.
A fire,broke out at three o'clock yesterday morn-
