CARNATIC PAPERS.

Mr. HoRNER was anxious to hear from t‘he
nOurable Baronet oppo4te..(Sir T. Turton), why his
promised motion ,with respect to the Carnatid had
been so long delayed.
Sir TB-041as TURTON replied, that the delay Was
owing to a request that had been made him by the
President of the Board of Controul, to which, in- or-
der iogiKe that Gentleman every necessary acconi-
modation, he had consented, lie said that no per-

sign - could be more anxious than he was to prosecute
the inquiry, and particularly so as the persons impli-
cated were ruported to be in the entire confidence of
the present Administration.
Lord BOYLE obti.tined further leaVe or absence for
ten days, on accounC of the continued illness of his
'father.

THE HOUSE IN COMMITTEE ON LOAN IN-
TEREST BILL.

The CH.4 NCELLOR of the EXCHELIER
said, that in compliance with the suggestion thrown
out yesterday by the Right Hon. Gentleman oppo-
site (Mr. Tierney) he should not, press. Upon the
Committee the Amendment he had•at first intended
to proro,e to the Noble Lord's plan ; at the same
Can he could-nor see hmr-that Amendment could
have -byiany possibility gii,en rise to 'an' alarm: in
the public mind, and . furnish any pretext for charg-
ing "Parliament with a breach of public faith in that
ifitanee. • After a few more observations; he con-
cluded with moving that " certain wordS" be left
out.

Lord H. PETTY admitted that it would not have
been a substantial breach of faith, inasmuch as the
War Taxes on Customs would. have supplied a suf-
ficient surplus, but at the same time contended, that
it was a nominal breach of public faith, and being
totally unnecessary-, would be much better let alone,
if the ambition of the new Chancellor of the Exche-
quer did not prompt him to have some change or
other in the plan—to gratify therefore the Hon.
Gentleman, he
,(Lord H. Petty) should not °hie&
to it,,as the change did not appear to him to.. be abso-
lutely mischievous.
11)1;-. TIERNEY said, that the new Chancellor of.
the Exchequer entertained the newest tinanciai doe-
trines he had ever heard—the Right Hon. Gentle-
Man wenttosay, -that. it:,C,onswidated land was
as pro:lu,Alve without as .with the War Taxes :. he
fancied, -however, that the Riglit Hon., Gentleman
would have found the-plain plodding understanding,
of the City quite averse to the subtle genius of the
Right HOU:Gentleman. He denied that the Gentle-
man hadigiven updlisfintencled improvement as an
as of grace to his side of the House, for the Right
Hon. Gentleman, while. he was driven to an.abati-
donment of it, wouid fain have . the Hodse under-
stand that he had volunteered in abandoning it.
After a short conversation between ivictssrs.
HuS;:issdn, 111 r. Vansittart, Mr. Tierney, Lord H.
Petty, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the
Aniendment was agreed to.
The other Amendments were then read and agreed
to. After which the House Jesumed, and the Re-'
port was ordered to be received to-morrow.

WSDNESDAY, Arm- 15, 1307.

Wr& are sorry to announce the loss of the Ferreter
Gun Brig. She was attacked in the River Eans,
by a party of Soldiers, under the cover of the night,
and carried, notwithstanding .a
very gallant resist-
ance.

T'u Gazette of last night contains an account of
as gallant an action as any recorded in the Naval
Annals of this Country. The Boats of the Galatea
Frigate, Capt. SAYER, manned with 5 Officers, 50
Seamen, and 20 Marines, were dispatched in pur-
suit of the French Imperial Corvette the Lynx, of
guns, and 161 men ; and after g very long chase,
came up with, boarded, and carried her. Our 'loss,
though considerable, was not so great as might have
been expeCted; considering the nature of the contest
and the great inferiority of our force.

A Ilit'OßT was circulated last night, that private
hitters _bad reached town stating. thaL.BONAPARTE
had died of an inflammatory fever at 'Warsaw. The
report, however, does not' appear to be. entitled to
any credit.

ACCORDING to the information of the following
Letter, the Treaty of Face between this Country
and America has been rejeiSted by' the latter. The
Revise of Representat ves were, indeed, afterwards
to discuss the subje6i, but we can have little reason
to believe that. it Will give a decision contraditiory to
that of the other two branches of the American Le-
gislature.
EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM ST. GEORGE'S, tEE.
MUDA, MARCH 2,5, re3o7.

The Cumbricaz Frigate, •.
Captain )3EntsFoRD,
sails -immediately for England, by which I write ;
her hasty departure' is, I Suppose, occasioned by
the British Treaty with America having been re-
jeetesthy flue President and Senate, who were for
sending it back immedianely ; but the House of Re-
presentatires insisted upon its being debated in their
House. What the result may be is yet unknown ;
if the nen-importation 'should in consequence be en-
forced, an immediate war will break out. The Trea-
ty has created great ferment through the American
Continent."

Government have not received any official Dis-
patches upon this subjea, but no doubt is entertained
of the fact. The ground. :upon which the Treaty-
was rejeaed was, that it contained no provision
respea ing toe impressing of Seamen, which was
the original cause 'of difference between the two
Countt ies.

The Duke of RICHMOND and Suite set off yester-
day noon froin his house at Whitehall, for Ireland.

I have the honour to inclose, for the informatiOn
of the Lords Commissioners-vf-the Aumiralty the.
Copy of a Letter from Captain Sayer, of his Majes-
ty's Ship Galatea, giving an account of the capture
of the French National Corvette Lynx (one of those
which escaped from Sir Samuel Hood's Squadron)
by•the boats of that Ship, under the command of
Lieutenant Coombe.

When it is taken into consideration the fatigue
of so long a row as the Boats' Crews had before
they came up with the Enemy, their great disparity
in

numbers,. their. havingptroepaatrteatcikioa Mari r
their of
f e NcS'er
under sail, completely
tion, and their perseverance in the attack, without
a chance of support from the Ship, after, being
twice repulsed, I may safely say that more. deter-
mined bravery has not been shewn during the War.
While I admire their gallantry, I must sympatize
with the friends of those who tell in the action. In
the death of Lieutenant Henry Walker; who was
some time ago promoted from this Ship, the Service-
has lost a mest promising Officer. Lieutenant
Coombe's conca& speaks for -itself ;. although lie
had before lost a leg, hisadivity in the execution of
his duty has always been rewarked ; in this action
he received u severe, and, I fear, a dangerous 'wound,.
above the former amputation ; I there-
fore teel assures; their Lordships will judge him de-
serving their protedion.

His Majesty's Ship Galatea, Coast of
SIR, Curaccas, Jan. 2.2, 1807.

Yesterday mornincr°,we discovered, from the mast,
bead, a Sail in the -S. E. steering for La Guira, and
soon compelled her to another course for Barcelona 4
about atom it was mostly calm, when she appeared
to be a Man of War, and, by her manceuvre, an
enemy ; she had now the advantage of US by -a
breeze, and with her lofty flying sails, and sweeps,
was leaving us fast. At two o'clock her top-.
gallant sails were scarcely above the horizon,
but Ha a situation between the Ship and the
coaA_Jiyat still afforded me hopes of her, by co-
operation of the boats ; they pushed off, under the
dire&ion of the First Lieutenant, William Coombe,
manned with five Officers, fifty Seamen, and twenty
Marines ; and after rowing about twelve leagues in
eight hours, (part of the time under a burning sun,)
they came up with her, -going with a light land
breeze, about two knots ; having first hailed her,
our brave fellows instantly attempted .to hoard on
both quarters, hut by the fire of her guns, which
had been all trained aft in readiness, and having to
combat, under every disadvantage, with more
than double their numbers, were twice repulsed
by them. The boats now dropped, and poured
throuo her stern and quarter-ports a destruc-
tive the of musquetoons and small arms, that
cleared the deck of many of •,.ie Enemy, who
were all crowded aft ; when, , after an ar-
duous' struggle (a third time) for a footing, our
men rushed a-board, and in a few minute; drove
all befbre them ; the bowsprit and jib-boom were
covered t -some flew aloft. and others hpinw the

Captain and most of his Officers vere tying wounded
on the decks, leaving the remainder of this handtill
of men in proud posses-sion of the French Imperial
Corvette Le Lynx, of fourteen twenty-tbur pound-
er carronades, and two long nine-pounders, chasers,
pierced for eighteen guns, and manned with one
hundred and sixty-one men, = coiimlanded by Mon-
sieur Jean M. Yarquest, with Dispatches from Gua-
daloupe for the Caraccas ; she is two years old, and
a well-equipped fine Vessel, in- all respells, for His
IA-6esty's Service.

At the head of our invaluable mens' names,. who
fell in this quarter of an hour's sharp contest,-"stands
that of the Second Lieutenant Harry Walker, of
his third wound ; of the Officers commanding our
five Boats,. only Lieutenant Gibson was unhurt.: it
may be unnecessary to add Lieutenant 'coombe's
report, that every man did his duty—l am satisfied
they did. I am, Sir, &c.
