ARMY OF RESER 'SUSPENSION.

Mr. Secretary 'Yolock moved the Order of the,
Day for the second reading of the Army of Reserve
Suspension Bill..
Mr. LONG rose, not he said,'to oppose the Or-
derot the Day, ior .the second reading,, but to repeat
to the House the wish already expressed by a Right
Hon. Friend pi' (mi. ?ITT) to be present 'at that
stage of it, as he intended to speak his sentiments
thereon. The House would recolleft that Wi'h and
intentiOtiothis Fri.end, more particularly,.
trom the circumstance of 'his having, sonic
agu, attiarcl his pin pose of bringing'forwar,i
general ir easure .9n the sulije4 of National Dctc.oc, ;.
and that•he wily refrained from that •purpo-,'
s„,linild leain. inEtly the the;
then in the contemplation Of His ije,ty '5
Right lion: Friend tvaiprevented•tromiti•C'fi",
in hi,pt,tce this day* by
tasted, however, this the liouse nos

with the next stage of:the without
Right Hon. Friend the opportunity he should wish'.
If,_ therefore, the-Right Hon..Per4leman would say"
what day. they shoulddeem most conv.enient to thim
for •the discussion, his Right Hun. Friend would on
that day attend-in his place, declare his-seritirpents'
at snrot length, and take. the sense of the House up-
on the To-morrow, he thought, would be too
early a day; Friday wits already appointed for
other important discussion ;._and he presumed Mon.,
day or Tuesday might he con.vgniepr.
gr. S'erretary Y RKfirsAid,. Ceriainly it was. his
-wish to accommodate. the tight Gentleman ;
and, as he understood there wris, no obje&ion to put-
ting off .till Monday the other discussion, the
might, proceed to the next stage,on Friday.
; Mr. ADAtt?, on the part and in the absence of
his.Hon:.EriF:nd, Mr. FOx, declared that there
would be no objeEtion to postpone Itis Motion till
Monday,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXC'llEOU,ER'said,
it was his intention to postpone the. notice he-had..
'giyen for, Wednesday' next, as he 'understood that
some. intimation was expeeted.frorn Ireland ;reJatiwe•
to the Loan for that Country,. the particraars. Of
which it would be necessary for.him - to know,:before
,he couldproceed upon the bUsiness he had in coiri::
templation.. The-expeaed intimation;' he • hoped,
would arrive by. Tuesday. It would be deeessary
t¢ have two or three days to cOnsiderthestlbjkt,
before, the amount of the Loan 'wanted .could tie
correctly, specified ;,. the business, thereto-e, could,
not be brought' forward' till the Monday folio Wing.
The Army. Estimates, purposed for next 'Monday,
lie would ;postponel'Aill .Wednesday, which would
give an, opportunity of deferring till Zontlity,the
business intended for Friday, and leave that diy
open for the discussion now proporritl
Sir ROBERT BUXTON; rose-, not to go int'p
any argument, on the merits of the Bill now, :lintigh
he declared himself decidedly an enemy tt• girt he
wished to ask:a question with regard:to one•of its
. principles, namely, -the mode by-which- the• money
was to be assessed, (or defr'a)Ong the diurnal quotas
claimable under thi& Bill. If- the.asseistnents were
to be on counties at large; he had no'objetlion to
that part of the principle, but if opt parishes merely,
he had strong objections..: -
Mr.Secretarj" YORKE said, if the Hon.'Baronet
had looked into the Bill, he would have found the
assessment -was- intended" on parishes; in the naturc:
of Poor's Rates.

The Bill was committed for Friday.
PUBLIC ACCOUNTS.

Mr. ROS,E• complained of some inac'Cnracies
the Public Accounts of the last year; laid before the
House, from which it was'impossible to draw a just
or correCt conclusion, upon a comparison of the last
with the preceding year ; for by one statement it
would.appear there had been a considerable deficit
in the last year, while by another it was stated there
was aconsiderable exceeding.
Mr. VANSITTART said, he was convinced, if
the Right Hon. Gentleman had accurately rx..mined
the Accounts laid upon the table, he would have
found there was no just ground for the complairit
. stated, as every Account •whatever, relative to the
year,'"wa's either laid upon the table, or indio.to be
submitted to the House.
EXCHEQUER BILLS.

The House resolved itself into a Committee of
Ways and Means, Mr. ALEXANDER in the Chair.
The CHANCELLOR of the.EXCREQUER.rose
and stated, that, on a former day, he had apprized --
the .House of his intention to move; in the Cointnit-
tee of Ways and Means, this day, a vote for. Eleven
Millions, to be raised by Exchequer Bills,..'todis.
charge the outstanding. Exchequer Bills not-provided
for, and to replace those which would,.. by such
means, be withdraWn from the market., • Since that
notice, a conference had been held ~vith.persons on .
the part. cf the Bank : it was proposed,by the Bank
to .defer. the payMent of a Million ,a!)d a kialf- till
next year, toward the renewal of the Bank Charter,
which had been agreed to, so that it would- be fie-
cessayy only to',raise Nine .Millions.- and a Halt.
This he. would propose to do by. two Biils : the one
for .raising. Eight Millions, and the other fur a Mil-
lion and a Half. He felt it-necessary, •at the same '
time, to state, that there Was-no intention of Funding
any part (of the outstanding •xclitquer Bills, and to
say alSo, that there were no Exchequer Bills now
outstanding °lan older date-than.of the sth Of April,
rBO2. He concluded by 'mOying.twO Resolutions;
agreeable, to his statement. •
Mr. 701-I SIONE thought the sum proposed
ivas much greater than was necessary ; as it appear.
ed from the Papers on the 'Fable, that of the eighteen
Millions of :Exchequer Bills that had been issued,
only 1,4°0,0091, had been paid, which left a balance
still extant of 16,600,6001. which., with vme other
sum's he stated, Made up the sum z4,630,0001.-raised
last year. Of the extant sum it was proposed to pay
off eleven millions; and now it was proposed to issue
eight millions mote, and leave a million anti a half
in the Bank. There were seven millions besides,. he
would admit, in the Bank, under different Atts, that
would not come into the market ; hut still, he con.
tended, there would be sixteen millions afloat,which
he considered a great deal too much. Besides, it was.
much to early in the. Session to resort to this' mode
' of raising money, and contrary to the. precedent of
last year,• when the Right Hon. Gentleman did not
propose his Exchequer Bill. LOan till the 13(11 of
July, at which tithe it was only proposed to issue five
millions. It was necessary for the House to be aa-
quainted, in the first instance, with the Budget for-
the year, in order to judge whether the Ways*.titir
Means were likely to bear out the propriety
.of the,
• present measure: By voting so large. an issue so
early, in. the Session, the puhlic wouW lose a 'great
.shate,of theadvaatages_which would.ollniwise arise
:upon the negotiation' of the Loan, which he thought
3,116u1d be much larger itn proportion than ,The • Ex-
'chequer Bills, which ought to F c narrowed in their.
issue. He. owned he had not • had time to look ac-
curately itito the Pal ers upon, tie Table, but those'

The effort was accordingly made, but in vain, and

' . ,

R Blonde Privateer of Bourdeaux, Captain
AREGNADDEAU, (the Owners GRAMANT, Cirt-
cAßV; and Co.), has returned to Port, after a
cruize of ti irry.five days; having on board 228
Prisonersi the Crews of tight English Vessels which
`§he capthred.
~nr of them have arrived safe, of which two are
richly laden from bemerara ; a fifth was sunk.
The latter was the Wolverene, Royal Corvette,
Captain HENRY GORDON, of 73 men, eight
pound carronades, and two guns, and six carro-
nades, rz.pounders, mounted on swivel carriages.
This Corvette was escorting a Convoy of eight sail
when the Blonde fell in with her on the 24th ult. in
48 N. latitude, and zr. 25. W. longitude. She
struck her Colours after an alion of three quarters
of an hour, in which she had ten men killed and one
wounded.

The Captain of the Blvd,' says, that he had .not
a single man wounded, when the Enemy thrice call._
ed out that they had surrendered ; but that some
shot fired by the Corvette after this declaration,
wounded six of his men.

Capt. AkEGNAUDEAU, on the surrender of the
Wolvere Ire, had nothing to prevent him from cap_
turing the vessels under his convoy. But as the
corvette was sinking in consequence of •the damage
received in aecion, the French Captain preferred to
employ in saving the English crew, the time which
,would blve been occupied in pursuing the convoy ;
and it was not until he had received them on board,
that he made sail before the wind, in which direc-
tion lu supposed the convoy, which wa, now out of
sight, had made the best of its way. The day after
he rejoined three of the vessels which he had cap-
cured.

On the sth inst. the Adolphe Privateer sent into
Calais an English Vessel uf zoo tons, bound from
London to Falmouth, with a cargo or tea, sugar,
rnercery, &c. besides to,coolbs. of gun-powder.
She was taken in the. night of the zd inst. Two
other prizes captured the same night have entered
'Dieppe ; the one laden with flour, the other with
Coals.

The report of Mr. I\IAn,F I ELD having accepted
the situation of Lard Chief Justice of the Court of
Common Pleas, appears to have been premature.
any one been appointed to that high►, lucrative,
and important office, he would have taken his seat
the first day of Term.

Yesterday the Loyal North Britons were in-
speeted in Hyde-Park, by COL JENKINSON. In
consequence of the notice which had been sent to the
Corps, that in case of aaual Invasion, they would
probably hlt.ordereLi ro march to the point oriffack,
the muster was uncommonly well attended. Col.
JENKINSON expressed particular satisfaction at the
general appearance of the Corps, and the state of
their arms. The First Company afterwards invited
Lieut. Inomits HAMILToN, wbo is leaving the Re-
giment, and going into the Regulars, to an eleglnt
Dinner at the Stock Exchange Coffee-house, where
they voted him a valuable Sword, a-a a mark of
their esteem, for his gentlemanly manners, and the
attention he has always shewn to the Corps.

The infamous conduct of the French Cover inrnt
with respeitt to the late unfortunate Duke D'EN-
Glit EN, has, on account of the Duke's high rank
and virtue, attracted the particular attention of
mankind ; but many instances of the same kind have
occurred, though they have not risen into notice.
One has recently come to our knowledge. Mr. C. a
native of Switzerland, a gentleman of great talents
and worth, animated by the same principles as those
of the celebrated ALLOYS lkeottgo, espoused his
cause.—After the entire subjugation of the Swiss,
Mr. C. was advised by his triends to remove from
Switzerland, lest on account of his principles he
should fall a viCtim to French violence. He there.
fore removed to Geneva, where he was soon
traced by tile flagitious Agents of the Consular Go-
vernment, put into irons, and conveyed to Paris.
For a short time he was confined in the Temple,
but whether he was removed to another prison, or
what has since become of him, nobody can tell.
The brother of Mr. C. is a respeetable Merchant
in this capital. . _ _

Lord IiouERT FITZOFRALD's memorial address.
ed to the Chief Secretary of State at Lisbon, in
consequence of the infamous calumnies inserted in
the Lisbon Gazette, by the domineering requisition
of the French Ambassador, is honourable to his Lord-
ship's spirit and prudence. Such moderation forms
a striking contrast with that of the French Ambers.
sailor, who insisted upon the admission of the offen-
sive article, while the British Ambassador vindi-
cates with proper dignity the insulted honour of his
Country, but does rot involve the Portuguese Go-
vernment in any danger of exciting the resentment
of France, by demanding the insertion of an an_
swer to those infamous slanders, which it was 'c-
hittinily obliged to publish.
Few people will perhaps admit that the Minister
has arrived at year.; of discretion, though it is evi-
dent by his lee parliamentary appearance, that he
is come to twenty-one.
It is said that the roads of France are covered
with naked Conscriptsi, marching towards Hanover.
The French Soldiers are generally in a habit of
