•The LORD. Cll AN-OELLOR stated- his send-
melts:of the,me•asure at some length: He adverted
to.most of those points which he touched on a f0r....
mer evening, and enforced Jiem with considerable
al3liity. He animadverted generally upon the prin-
ciple of the Bill, and , expressed his determination,
which had always been 11;4 rule, of praaice, to look
at every thing that bore the charmer of a job on-the
-face of it, and to guard, to the, tamostrof his power,
abuse mouocts,which the Law. had ereaed for the
preservation of rcivate Property, and pronounced a

preservation of the properties of 11151611°w subje4s,
.and bo, in the considcratiols to which he alluded,

The Earl VSUFFOLK,-ip supporting the Men.
en:ered into Nome details rcspeaing what. had

advantage which the Canal in question would be to

The further consideration of the Bill was then
adjourned till io.mnrrow.
On our readmission to the House, their Lord_
ships were engaged in the consideration of the
Scotch Militia Bill, to which some additional
Amendments were made ; and which, after some
g.onversation between Lord•Ho a ART, who proposed
the same, and Earl Frrzwit,LiAtvt,, were agreed
to, the Bill was then read a third time and passed,
The Order,of the P,ly, for taking into consider,
ation the.reasons assigned by the 'Commons, for dis-
greeing with. the Amendments made by their
Lordships •to the Militia Augmentation/Bill being

Their Lordships proceeded accordingly to con-
sider the same, when, after some conversation be-
tween Lords HOBART, FICZWILLIAM, SUFFOLK,
HOLLAND, and the LORD CHANCELLOR, one of
the Amman-leap, made by their Lordships, was in-
sisted upon ; the others, as we understood, were
relinquished—and it was ordered, that a Conference
be desired with the Commons. to-morrow, in order
to communicate the, same, &c. _ _

Some °tithe Bills before the House were forwarded.
On the question for the commitment of the
Foreign Letters Postage Rill,
The Earl
,of VIE IijLIC called the attention. of
the House to some grievances which the inhabitants
of Dover would be under, by those provision. of the
Bill which went to exempt French PacketS from
tonnage, by which moans those vessels would be
enabled to take over Passengers much cheaper than
the Dover Pucker Owners could afford to do.—lt
was the intention of theinhabitants to instrua their
Representative on the occ knew not whe-
ther it was regular on such a Bill as that in question
for Petitions to be Leard by Counsel against it, in
tlw. same Session, hit, it. it were, he would suggest
the propriety of such a proceeding.

Lord AU,:kI„IN/), in a statement of some
length, and which included sonie Official details,
r: plied to the objedion3 urged by the Noble Eatl,
in the cflur,e of which he stated that the return of
Peace, joined to considerations of commercial con-
venience, rendered it advis:tLle to equalize the rates
of Postage, on letters to France, Holland, and
Hamburgh, ultich now were fixed at Ica. t zd. and
t 6d, ..o.oin this arrangement, however apparently
disathantageous, he was coofident the post revenues
uould—not eventually suffer. With respell to the
allaged grievanczs stiticri by the Noble Earl, he

. argued that the regulation could have no such effea..
The tonnage duty was taken off from Packets coin--
ing with the: Mails, and '.which xvas &tile from the
considerations he had stated, and also in considera,
Lion of the duty of 71. for every Packet, which the
French Government had 'during the War laid on
English Vessels being taken off;. in regulating those .1,
'matters he observed the French Government mani.
fested every friendly syniptom. The tonnage duty
to which, so we understood his Lordship, the Dover
,Packets were liable, Was only rs. per ton, and
these vessels ran to no more than from 35 to
'eo tons ; but the regulation did not affed them at
all, as•evectually the difference would be made good
to thorn,. He expressed, his surprise that no objet=
bons should have been publicly made till then,
.though frequently opportunities offered, as the Bill
-was a.long time before the other House, and the in-
tended regulations were generally known for more
than six weeks. •
Lori/ HOL,LA2O expressed himself shortly, in
favour ofthe Bill.
The Bill then passed .a Committee of,the whole
House, and. was ordered( to be reported to-morrow.
The Aliens' Bill was re-committed for tomorrow,
and the House to be summoned on the occasion.
The Earl of SUFFOLK stated, that.with respeet
to his_propositions relative to the Affairs of India,
he was. then ready to go into the discussion, but he
supposed Noble Lords, from the lateness the hour,
would rather it should be deferred till to-morrow.
His Noble Friend, then absent,- persisted in-his in-
tention- of bringing forward the investigation he had
given notice of ; but for his own part, though he was
aware of the nature of the information expetted from
India, it would necessarily_ preclude him from bring-
ing forward what ,he proposed, which chiefly re-
lated to the Debts of lodia ;—those, even the Do.
ctiments before the House, made to athount to /13
millions, hut he could prove they exceeded that
sum ;—the present situation of India Affairs he did
not attribute to those now in power, bet to those
who lately dire&ed the Affairs of that Country.—
He concluded by stating the outline of a Motion
which he intended to make for further information
relative to the Debts,. &c. of India.
The Earl of DARTMOUTH and Lord HoBART
professed themselves ready even then to meet the
Noble Earl on the subje4t, but they adverted to the
lateness of the hour,- and thinness of the attendance,
as riot suited to its importance.
After some explanatory conversation between the
Earl of SuvFoex, and the abovemeotioned Peers,
t was understood that the former's Motion, ,Etc. is,
not to be postponed beyond to-mortow.
The Irish Uncertificated Bankrupts Bill was, af.
ter some forcible, objeftions urged to its principle
by the LORD.CHANCELLOR, and some observations
rather generally in defence of the measure, by Lord
Viscount LIMERICK, whom•the Noble and Learned
Lord, in his explanation, seemed to compliwent for
his manner of treating the subjeft—read a second
trine, and was committed for to-morrow.
0n the Question for the second reading-of the
Bill to.prevent Illicit Games, &c., commonly known
by the name of the 1' qoes" Bid;
Lord HOLLAND inade.a few observations there-
on, chiefly to the effect of the. subjett being very
unworthy. the attention of the Legislature.
The LOR D- CH ANC ELL() R pointed out shortly
the iinportance of the suliject, and'the necessity al
a Legislative Provision thereon, not only with
reference to the concerns of the State Lottery, but
the morals and. good conduit of the middling and
lower classes of. the people, principally as it regard-
ed the destruftive praftice of insuring.
The Bill was their" read a second time, arid corn.
milted Tor to-Morrow.
The remaining Orders of .the Day were then dis.
posed of; and, at forty minutes• after eight their
Lordships adjourned till to-morrow, when the
Royal Assent is to be given by Commission to Si
Public; and Private Bills.

Lord 1-It7Tcntrtsom yesterday, in the House of

and the insiggia of the Order of the Bath. He is
very thin, and appears to have suffered much from
his late indisposition, and the fatigues of service.

Mr. PITT went to Walmer Castle on Saturday,
accompanied by Lord CARR I NOTON.
The reports in circulation of the intended creh..
tion of a batch of new Peers, as it is called, at the
General Eletion, we believe to be wholly void of
foundation. One or two have been confidently
mentioned, On this subject we a few days ago)
copied a paragraph from a Morning Paper.
We will take upon ourselves to assert, without
feit‘r of contradiaion, that Lord GAl.t.ow AY was
restored to the office Of Lord of the Bedchamber
at his cwn expresl and earnest solic;tation, accom-
panied, we suspea, with expressions of contrition
for the hasty and disrespetiful step which he had
taken. Some friend of his Lordship seems to have
taken great pains to persuade the Public, thathe
resumed the office at the request of Has ,NIAIRsTY.

" We arrived here froM Goree, on the 14th Ja-
nuary, and remained unmolested by the Natives
until ,the trth of the ptesent month (April), when
they attacked us at five o'clock in the mornings--'
Our force then in the fort was about 6o men, and
we understood from a prisoner, that the Enemy
were about zoo. The rascals, elated at the num,.
bets they killed on the x Sth November, thought
that they could do what they pleased. Just rarer
the morning gun Arai, they fi;;ed their lag on the
east side of the fort; and after shooting the patrol-
ing sentinel, they forced open a gate, and twelve
or more had adeally got in'when they were charge. 4
and forced to retreat. They rallied again arm'
were beaten back; they then kept up a smart fire,
outside, for about twenty minutes, but being flank-
ed by a bastion on one, side, and a large block.'
house on the other, they were obliged to retreat,
iedving 17 men dead under the fort. In the mean
time a large party had kept up a heavy fire in the,
town, but when they perceived their friends -run-
ning from the fort, they ran also, but 'were pursued(
for three miles, when several were shot. There
were four pound guns well leaded with grape, firsa
op them in their retreat from the ble.ck.lwuse,,
Where I commanded, which annoyed them riot 3
little. We had no notice whatever of their coming/
indeed I may safety say it was a sUrprize, as we
conceived the dispute was settled,- and every diffe-
rence brought to a conclusion. They are treacher-
ous villains, and would have put us all to death 1131
they succeeded. We have found 31 of them 44'4,
and suppose that, at least, that number-or more (A
