CORN BOUNTY BILL.

Thi, Bill was brought up from the Commons by
Mr. WesreArt and other Gentlemen, and, on the,
Motion of Lord HAwicesnuar, forthwith read a
first time, and ordered to be printed.
At, .r a few words were interchanged between
the Noble SECRETARY of STATE and. Earl STAN,.
Hors, the Bill was ordered to be read a second
time to.mortow, and their Lordships summoned
thereon,

Earl STANHOPE then obsetved,- that, as he
undersmod the Noble Sr R OTAR Yof STATE to have
expressed a wish, that some system were brouht
forward for regulating and ameliorating the whole
body of the Corn Laws, he had to acquaint their
Lordships, that he was perfectly prepared, in that
views to enter into the general Subjeft even this
Session'; and it was his intention to submit some
propcsitions thereon to the consideration of the House
to.morrow, shaped arid divided into three Resolu.
tions ; these he should propose before the commence.
mint of the Debate on the second reading of the
Corn
Lord. 11 AWKESBURY, in the case of to.mor.
yaw, suggested the propriety of commencing the
discussion earlier than the usual hour, which, at this
very late veriod of the SesSion, would make no dif.
terenee. Ile therefore proposed that their Lordships
tlo tneet.a; four o'clock to.morrow, fot .the rtlrpusei
instead of (lye,

Earl STANHOPE thought such an alteration
svould make a material difference, and therefore
ought not to be sull'ered. In the first instance, all
the Peers who Were now absent would not he aware
of it, and might therefore come flown to the House
when possibly the Debate on a subjea of such great
importance may be over ; it would also be rather in.
decorous with retitled to such of their Lordships as
vvcro absent. Five o'clock was the hour generally
understood as lix(d for commencing discussions on
public bthiness, and he thOught it should nut be al.
toted ; hut were the alteration in the case of to.
morrow persisted in, he could easily counterad its
efEM, at least with resped to his propositlons,t by
serving them as the Jmnd, instead of the first coarse.
In another point of View it might be found necessary
to rvler to certain Ads of Parliament relative to the
Corn Trade, the reading of which, if moved, would
aLurdattly euroume the hour. Upon the whole, he

LONDON, JULY 27, 1804.

WE are happy to state, that Capt. 01,1vEst, of
the Napo/Ilene, with the Bombs under his command,
has made a second attack upon the French Squadron
assembled at KIM, and has donethem considerable
damage, the particulars of which we hope to be
able to lay before our Readers to.morrow.

THE Montezuma, which communicated the
portant intelligence of our homeward.bound China
Fleet having engaged and beat off LtNola' Squa.
dron, left Batavia on the loth March, a few days
before which, the French Ships came in. The
China Fleet was to leave Canton early in Fe.
bruaty, and LINOI3 was known to be cruizing
off Palo Timon, at the mouth of the Straits of
Malacca, the very point the return Ships usually
make, on the 3d of February. Combining these
with other circumstances, we are inclined to attach a
strong degree of credit to the report of an Engagement
having aCtually taken place, and if so, the return
of the Enemy to Batavia, is decisive of the manner
in which they have been bandied. We have the
best authority fur stating, that so far from lariats'
Squadron being ill fitted and manned, there never
was a French Squadron in better condition, or
better manned, than - the Marengo, and the three
Frigates were, when they left the Cape of
Good Hope. What will the gasconading LA
TOUCHE TEKVILLE think of a few Mese-
manger: causing an eighty.gun Ship, and three fine
Frigates, to run a way, not as he caused Lord
NELSON'S Fleet to run away, but aClually to creep
into the nearest Purt, to repair the eft:Cts of a severe
drubbing I

YISTRRDAY we received American Papers to the
24. th ult. Oar Readers will recoiled that we
stated, exclusively, a few "days ago, that the Ameri:
can Government, without waiting for any official
representation on the part of Great Britain, had, in
the most distind and unequivocal manner, disavowed
to Mr. ME RU S" the unwirrantahle language held by
Mr. Li vINGsTONat Paris, respeding the Correspon.
deuce attributed to Mr. Dafice. Some of out Co.
temporaries, whose reludance to believe any thing
which is favourable to this Country is constant,
aided to doubt cur information'; the American
Papers, however, must remove all doubt upon the
subject, for the American Governmentshave not only
disavowed Mr. LIVINGt.T,ON'S language, hut, have
Aually recalled him, It is supposed that General
AghiSTRONC will be his Successor.

There is great reason to suppose that the report of
JEROME BONArARTH having C6C,IIStd to Fccrol, is
untOunded. 1-le did intend to have taken his pas..
sage home in the Didv, Frigate, but the appeatetnee
of the Cavtbrian and Borrow British Frigates in.
duced him to delay his voyage.

There arc some further detail; of the late dread.

find that a spirit of Insurretion has manifested it.
