Mr, FosTEft moved, that leave he given to bring
in a Bill for appointing, for a time to be limited,
Commissioners to inquire into the Fees, Gratuities,
Perquisites, and Emoldnents which are, or 'which
gave been received in the several Offices. in Ireland ;
drat they do_ examine into any Abuses, if any exisi
in the same, and report the same, with their opi.
pion thereon, and• also as to the future manner of
conducting-the said Office, &c.
, Sir J: ,trx NEW PORT thanked the Right Hon. Gen_
tietnan for bringing forward a measure so necessary
and so important as the present, to spew the neces-
'sity of which he stated 'certain faCts, from which he
inferred- the existence of Abuses in some cf the Of.
„flees which were the objeCtS'of this measure.
This produced a conversation of considerable
length, in which Mr. ORMSBY lamented that a pre-
mature discussion might make injurious and un.
.founded impressions against certain persons, whose
case had not been heard.
Mr. MAUR ICE FITZGERALD justified the condua
_of the Lords of the Treasury in Ireland, being con-
formable to the usual practice.

• Mr. CORRY supported the condul of the Col-
leaors of Revenue, and maintained, that an erro-
,neous idea had gtme forth, of the balance in their
:hands being stated at 600,030 i. whereas, in truth,
it. was ruder 50,c001, and gave notice that he
..should move for a Document which would establish
this to be the fact.

• Mr. FOSTER_ justified his former statement.
. Mr. FRANCIS thought these tontraditioty state.
-Ments were good reasons for the House agreeing to
a. Committee of Inquiry,

Civil List, and also one on the subject of the Duty
on Stamps, which had.been opened-at a former period
of this Session.

. Lord ARCHIBALD HAMILTON- preStllted a Peti_
ton from the Freemen and Guild of the City of
Glasgow, against the Resolutions which have been
farmed on the Report of .the Committee on the sub.
jet} of the Price and Sale of Corn, alledging reasons
why they think them injurious to tlie Trade, &c. and

Mr. MORR is presented a Petition on behalf of a

Mr. FosTEx brought up the-Irish Stamp Duty
Bill ; read a first time, and ordered to be read a se-

Mr. ROSE moved the Order of the Day for the

After a long conversation, in which various opi-
nions were' urged .as to tbc legality of permitting

ral -market in the City of London, the several amend-
me'nts, suggested 'in the. Report, were agreed to,
and the Bid, With ille.Amcnetnents; were ordered

The SECRETARY AT WAR moved the Order of

Committee on the Bill for raising' an Additional

He neither approved of the. mode in which the men

LONDON, JUNE z 6, 1804.

Ing.

WE received last night the Moviteurs to the 13th
inst. and the Dutch Papers to the i 7th. The Trials
of the State Prisoners are at length brought to a
conclusion: contrary, we believe, to general expcc.
tation, MoREAV has been acquitted, at least of that
part of the charge which affected his life; but he is
senq,nced to two years imprisonment : we are, how-
ever, .7 to-)Pg!y inclined to think that it 14 ill prove
an imprisonment fur life.' GEORGES, of coune,
was found guilty, and has, `we have no doubt, been
executed. AR NtAN9 PoLIGNAC is allot)* those

who were sentenced to Death, but BONAPARTE has
consented to pardon him. The French-Tapers con:
tain very little other intelligence that is interest-

Dispatches have been received from the Captain_
General of Martinique, giving an account of some
skirmishes with the English, in which of course
the French are represented as having all the advan-
tage.

The new EMPEROR has published a kind of Aft
of Grace, by which prisoners confined for small
debts are discharged, and a pardon is granted to all
deserters from the Army and Navy, who shall sur.
render within a limited time.
The Funds are at 57. 70.

JUST as our Paper was putting to Press we re-
ceived Moniteurs to the i7th instant.

MOR EAU is said to be dissatisfied with the
Sentence of the Court, declaring him to have
been concerned in the Conspiracy. Great joy has
been manifested in some parts of the Army, on the
Coast,. that he has not been sentenced to death.
Several of the Prisoners have appealed to the Tribu.
nal of Cassation. One of those condemned to death
(de RtviERE) has been pardoned, in consequence
of the intercession of his female relatives. LA Jo.
LAIS has also been pardoned, at the intercession of
his daughter ; and BOUVET at the request of his
sister.

THE great Majority with which the Additional
Force Bill was carried last night in the House of
Lords, in confirmation of the sentiments of the
House of Commons, affords the most decisive
proof of the probable efficacy of the measure, as
well as of the Constitutional Principles upon.
which it is founded. Party, we presume, will
now sink abashed into silence, and no longer at.:.
tempt to overthrow a Minister who has the con-
fidence of the People, and whose Plan for the Na-
tional Security has the full sanlion of Parliament.

YARMOUTH, JUNE 2.5. - Atrived the Baltic,

ing from the Baltic for London, under convoy of an

Veteran, from a Cruize off Boulogne.
The Airly Castle East India Ship, Capt. J. MACK-
tcrsti, came down from the River, and remains.

A person who arrived the day before yesterday
at Newhaven, in a neutral vessel from France, states,
that an immense force is now assembled between
Dieppe and Boulogne ; that every thing appeared
to be, prepared for their embarkation, and that the
Soldiery were in daily expeEtation of being em-
barked.

Dispatches received at the Admiralty from Lord
Wl.,:teriim STUART, Commodore of the blockading
Squadron' off Ostend, state, that the Enemy seemed
disposed a few days since to make some movement,
both in that Port and Flushing, but were prevented
by the judicious disposition made of our Squadron.
The Enemy's Flotilla at Ostend is stated to be so
numerous, that it is scarcely possible to ascertain
the number of vessels.

Sunday being Midsummer Day, a Common Hall
was held yesterday at Guildhall, for the purpose of
eleding two Gentlemen to serve the office of Sheriff
for the City of London and County of Middlesex,
for the year ensuing, and to transact other annual
business. Several Gentlemen were, as usual, put
in nomination for Sheriff's, but.the greatest shew of
hands appearing for THOMAS GRIFFITH, Esq. Citi-
zen and Clothworker, acid JAMES EPHRAIM LUKE
NgALsorsr, Esq. Ciiizen and Draper; they were
accordingly returned to the Court of Aldermen,
who retired fora short time, and then declared
them duly eleded.' There was no alteration in the
other offices.

following regiments has been ordered by His Ma-
jesty : 4th, Bth, 23d, 78th, and 79th Regiments

Theatre, with The Cabinet, and Valentine and Or-
son. At the end of the Opera Mr. KEMB LE came
forward, and, in the name of the Proprietors and
Performers, delivered a short but emphatic address
of thanks to the Public, for the success which at_
attended the Season.

Mrs. LlTctiE El,O leaves Covent Garden Theatre
at the close of this season. The Company in gene-
ral is .to he much reduced in numbers and several
other Performers have been discharged.
