that- none of, them were excluded from.attending ;
hat they bad declined attending from moth'es of de-

licacy.
Load PERCY said, he rose. inconsequence of
what had dropped from the Hon. Metnber WhO had
just set down, to express his approbation of the ori-
zinal .`otion made by his Hon. Friend. The mea-
sures brought forward by His Majesty's late Mini-
sters he could not but in general approve. of. —The
AR for the Abolition of the Slave Trade, which has
solately passed, and the appointment Of a Commit-
tee for the Reduction of Sinecure Places and Fees, are
measures which will ever refle6t upon 'them the
highest honour, and be attended with the greatest ad-
vantage to the country. He could not, however,
avoid lamenting:that they should 'have introduced a
sill into the House, for giving an extension of power
10 the Roman Catholics ; no man, he trusted, was
a .ereater friend to, toleration than himself, yet,: he.

t;ensioil of power, but floes not contribute to the free,
teiercise of •religion ; beat from what we had lately
heard, with great satisfaction, in the House, that
bad be.en given up. Under these cirCutml
stances, it gave blur great pleasure :that he could,
consistently with his_- feelings on: that subject, sup-
port the Motion of his Hon. Friend, and say ,how
s:neerely he regretted the dismissal of His Majesty's
late Ministers. •
The CHANCELLOR° f the EXCHEQUER de-
clared that Ministers -.were called rupon to wake a
counter statement by the statement of the Noble
Lord.. With regard to the secret advisers., about
which so. Much had been said, he put it to the
House,'he put it to the world, whether there was
the slightest colour for the supposition that such
secret adyisbrs had existed ? Was it surprisingeunder.
the circumstances of the case, that His Majesty
should of himself demand from his Ministers an ex-
planation of the conduct which they intended to
pursue in future, before he-would consent to retain
them ? It had been said that a long and dark intrigue
had occasioned the dismissal of the late -Ministers.

If so, the, intriguers must have. been in the confi-
dence of the late Administration, and have persuad-
• cd them to bring `forward the Catholic Question,
for in that their dismissal originated. He denied
that the acceptance of oce rendered' the acceptor
responsible for the dismissal of his predecessor, even
in the most capricious case that could possibly be

•
imagined. .
Mr. WINDHAM :argued at some length in
favourtf the Motion, and deprecated most strongly
the introduction of the. Sovereign's name.into the
debate, by Which it had been considerably fettered.
The ;WASTER of the ROLLS, in an adMirably
digumedtat ve speech, supported the Motion for
pasin9 to the Order of the Day.
,Many Ministers
had been dismissed. from office without any cause
assigned; but. never until now had a Minister come
down to Parliament to complain of his Sovereign.----
(Hear; ,hear, hear 1),---lord Somers was removed
without the shadow of complaint. Did
_he come
doKm to Parliament to institute an investigation of
the cause ? When the celebrated Whig Admini-
stra(ion Were removed by Queen Aimee did they
breathe a whister against their Royal Mitres in
either House of Parliament ? if a 4inistr were, to

. .
Secure to himself the right of inquiring-, into the
cause of his removal, he would approximate his
' situation to that of a Judge, or any other Officer-for
life. In the year 1757 the dismissal of Mr. Pitt and
Mr. Legge produced a great ferment : but was any
thing said in Parliament about-their dismissal ? Of a
Cliange iii Administration Parliament had no consti,
tutional knowledge, and on such change could found

NUREMBERG, APRIL,2.7—It is mentioned; in very,,
late accounts from Constantinople, that the Turkish'
Ministry,had shewn the 'greatest firmness,' in Conse-
quenee of the arrival of the, English Fleet before the
capital ; and it is added, that the Porte has resisted
every atteMpt of the English Ministers to indtice her to
&part from her political systiii: The means of de-
• _ •.
fence are continued with • great:: aEtivity, and_ it is-

thereforellsrougljts that the English Fleet will leaVe
its station before the Capital, and pass into the
Black Sta. 'The. Castles of the Dardanelles have,
not been taken possession of by the British.

the English to announce this unfortunate event, has
been dismissed from his office, and it is thought he:
will lose his head. According to appearaces, there
will soon ibe a decisive battlebetWeen the .two Squa-'
drons. That of the Turks is much superior to the
English, unless the latter be reinforced.

ANOTHER most interesting Debate took place yes-
terday in the House of Commons, upon the Motion
.of Mr. LYTTLETON. The result was most favoura-
ble w the present Ministers; their Majority was in-
creased, and the numbers of their Opponents were
considerably reduced, The Houses of Lords, arid
Commons -have now unequivocally expressed their
opinions upon the causes which led,to the dismission
of his Majesty's late Ministers, and there can be no
doubt that their opinions are in unison with those of
an immense majority of the public. •

In consequence of the late Address voted by the
University of Canibridge to his MAJESTY,
relative to
the Catholic Question, an application was made to
the Secretary of State to know when his 11,1A.JEs.1-1-

according to etiquette, for his MAJESTY to receive
the AddreSses'of the Universities on the Throne, at St,

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM AN OFFICER IN LORD

COLLINGWOOD'S FLEET.

Cade?:, March 3r.
• " I am sorry to say we have been full of inisO)r-
tune here—last night we received the melancholy
account of the destrudion of the Ajax by fire—she
was burnt; and a considet able part of her crew, were
victims to the flames. The Nautilus Sloop is' also
lost ; she was wrecked on a barren rock, and many.
of the-crew were starved to dtath. , The survivors
were for the most part, on board the Ajax, at the
time of her misfortune, and thus ended their mise-,
ries and their lives. The Captain of the ztjax is
rayed, but the late Commander of the Nautilus is lost.
It is with sorrow I add that the Crafty Schooner,
with dispatches of the greatest moment and national
consequence, has. also been captured by the enemy ;
and nothing can now so etfeCtually dispel our disap-
pointed hopes as a rencontre with the Frenchmen
who are the cause of all our anxieties.
