HOUSE OF COMMONS.

SATURDAY, MAY 20.
Mr. ITtismssoN brought in a Bill for charging the
Ele6.n Millions granted for the Loan of the year on
' the War Takes; a 13W to enable the Cointnissioners
for the Redemption'of the National Debt to grant
Life Annuities to. a greater amount ; a Bill to enable
Dealers to roast their own Coffee; and also a Bill for
the further Suspension of ,the linportation of Spirits
between Great Britain and Ireland; all of which
• were read a first, and ordered/ to be read a second
• time on Wecinesday.neNt.
On the second leading. of the-Lottery Bill, -Mr.
PaPeval.observed, that, his amendments fpr doing
away the evils of the present system would •be pro-
. poied in the Cointnittee on -Weditesday.-=Adjourned
to Wednesday.. •

*.O We have stated so fully in our Report .of the Parlia.
mentary PrOceedings, the grounds upon-which the Legisla7
ttlie have thought. proper to allow of an additional Charge'
of One Halfpenny on Newspapers, that we trust it is
unnecessary for us to o&r any further observations upon
the subject. Since the last rise in the price of Newspapers,
which,took place twelve yoara ago, every article neees-
ary to the composition of a Newspaper has risen to an
unprecedented extent. Paper has 'increased in price above
iv per cent. y y Sq per cent.. Printing ink between 3o
and 40 per cent.-&c. ice. Sec. Tinder these circumstances
the additional Charge of One Halfpenny will not place the
PrOpli..nors of Papers in so advantageous a situation as they
tycre when the last arrangement took place in t 797. , We
Itolce therefore that our Readers will admit that .we are
fully jtistilied in availing ourselves, in common with the
proprietors of oilier Papers, of the pertnislion granted by
the pill which received the Royal Assent on Saturdayl to
: raise the yrire of Tits to,Sixpenceltillpenriy.

DAspatches were tins morning received at the
Admiralty, from Admiral. COCHEAME, which state;
.that on !ha night of the ith of April, -the three
French Line of Battle-ships, hich took shelter in

the Harbour of the Stunte3, tnado,a dash through brie

of the Passages, while the Frigates rat) throu.,,h the
other.

04 ships immediately pursued them, and on the
lath, in the morning, under Porto Rico, his Ma-

jesty's ship Pomp& came up with the liautpouli; a
new
,74, and. after a severe aaion obliged bet to
strike.

The Pompc'e had 7 killed, and 29 wounded ; the
Hautpuat bad between 80 Ana 90 killed and wound-
ed. ''tae two other French Ships were pursued by
two 01 our Scoladroll through tl;e Mona Vassa4e.

We flatter ourselves tii.:t we shall scion have
to announce to our Readers a Naial ViEtory
in the Mediterranean., On .the :;sth of last month,
live sail of the line, two frigates, and 30 transports
sailed from Toulon, for the relief of Barcelona. in-
telligence of their sailing was immediately commu,
nicatvd to 'Lord CoLLINGWOOD; who proceeded in
search of them, and there is every reason to hope
that he will intercept them on their return to Tou-
lon.

We have recoi7ed Dutch Papers to the 17th, and
French Papeis to tlie 14111, from which we have
made very copious extracts. The intelligence, how-
ever, which they contain,- is so vague, confused, and
even contradictory,
_that it is almost impossible to
speak with any thing like precision. If we are to-
credit the Fieueh accounts given in the sth and fith
Bulletins, the Austrians are flying, panic-strnek, in
every direction, their numbers only adding to their
contusion. An army of 35,00 Austrians, are said
to have beeh so totaly routed by a corps of 7000
French, that the killed and wounded, on the part
of the Austrians, amounted to near double the num- .
her of the whole French Artny To such state-
'Dente as these, it is hardly necessary to say we do
not give any credit; but, on the other hand, we do
-pot find in these Paper; any confirmation of the re-
ported Vietories of the Austrians. ,The French con-
tinue' to advance'iowards :Vienna, apparently with-
out interruption. the ,head-luarters were .tit St.

to impede their progress to that city. General

tion of Lintz with a portion of his Arai).
The accounts from. the North of Gerniany
fully confirm the details which we wore enar

bled to lay before our Readers' on Saturday. A
spirit of resi itance to the French seems to be spread-
ing in every direction. Col. \rob! Spilt, who com-
menced his career with a force of only a few Inin.

that LisktrtAnorT4 arrived at Frankfort on the 4th of
May. If this account were true, we should suppose
that his return was occasioned by the regress of Col.
Scutt.. Other accounts however state that he had
entered Egra. It does not appear that the Ittissjamt
have taken pat t in the war against AuStria.
