IRISH AFFAIRS.

Mr..FosTER rose tor. the purpose of moving, that,;
the House -do on to-morrow r6nlite itself into a
Committee upon the Petition of the Irish Linen Ma.
nufadurers against the Export Duty of 4. per Cent.
in Common' with the other commodities of export
frog n the itetticingdom.
Mr. Corn hopea the Right Hon. Gentleman
would not so suddenly press the House to any pro.
ceeding upon a subjeti of so much importance,' the
most so indeed of any discussed since the Union ; a
subject involving materially the interests' of both
Countries ; a question, whether IheManufaftures of
bath Countries are to go, to foreign markets upon
precisely the same footing, or whether those of one
country are to have a 'prefetence of favour and ex-
emption. lie thought the House was not suffi.
ckritly prepared as yet, for the full discussion, of a
question upon which his sole' principle was that of
impartiality between both Countries, as 'the best
principle upon which to build the future cons-olida-
don of common and reciprocal interests. He con-
cluded by moving, that the consideration o 5 tke Pc.
tition be deterred till to-morrow fortnight.
A conversation of some length followed, in which
Mr. liosTtia pressed the necessity of proceeding in
the PetitiOn to-morrow, prOvided there should be a
full attendance of Members ;* in which be was sup.
ported by Mr. jotiN LATouCtis, Mr. M`NAGH.

LO N DON, AlI AY 3, 1804.

Mr: arrangements for the new Administration
are not yet completed. It was understood that Mr.
'PITT was yesterday to have had an audience of His
MAJESTY, bat it is now said that the interview
will not take place till to.morrow or Saturday. Mr.
Fox will probably put some questions to Ministers
to-night in the House of Common 3, and upon their
answer will depend whether his Motion which
~rands for to-LnorrL.,v, will be bt-Gught on or not.

A Hamburgh and the lf ;
i__On.terirl to the i Sth
Sit. were received yesterday. Mr. DRArsE had ar-
rived at Azzgsburgb on the 4th of last month, on his
way to Hamburgh, where he intended to embark
for England. The influence of the French Goveru-
:nent over the 14:LECTOR of BAVARIA is manifested
every day the Printer of the Bamberg Gazette. has
been sentenced to a fine and imprisonment, for
having ventured to make some observations in his
Paper, which were not considered as sufficiently re.
spedfui to the French Nation. The report that
BONAPARTE means to assume thelmperial Dignity,
and that it will be made hereditary in his family,
is circulated with increased confidence. The Ad-
dresses which have been procured from different
parts of France, are evidently preparatory to some
measure of that kind. NAPOLEON, the son of
Louts BONAPARTE, it is generally supposed, will
be declared Heir Apparent; and the Legion of Ho-
nour is also to be declared hereditary. The dif-
ferences between the Court of Stochholm and the
Government of France, appear to he taking a se-
rious turn. According to the last accounts, the
Swedish Ambassador was about to depart from
Paris, and to leave only a Chargi d'Affaires to fill
his situation.

An article from Genia, April z, says, " Admiral
NELSON has received a reinforcement of ceveral
Ships of War, and will divide his Fleet into two
Squadrons, one of which will la!ockale Toulon,
while the other sails against Algiers."

There is no intelligence of any importance from
the Coast : a firing was heard in the dire lion of
Bc:dogue on Monday and Tuesday, which probably
arose from some cf the Enemy's Flotilla endeavour.
ing to get into that Harbour.

We are sorry to find, by our Falinouth Letter,
that the S IP Armed Cutter, which was going to
the Mediterranean with DispatcheF, to Lord NEL.
lON, has been captured after a severe engagement,
by a French Privateer, and the Dispatches are said
to have fallen into the hands of the Enemy.

Yesterday morning His MAJESTY rode in the
Queen's Riding-house, and afterwards walked in the
garden. About twelve o'clock the LORD CHAN.
C E Loa had an audience of H:3 MAI esTY. In the
course of the day the KING signed a number of offi-
cial papers.
Yesterday HER MAJESTY and the PIIINcEssn,
attended by the Countess of CARDIGAN and Lady
CRANL EY, took an airing by Hampstead and High-
ga:e.
A considerable alarm prevailed at Dorchester, on
Tuesday morning last. A report was circulated, and
air some time generally credited, that the Enemy had
fretted a landing on Portland Beach. The drurni im-
mediately beat to arms, and the Volunteers repaired
with all possible expedition to their respetive posts.
General GARTH, the Cotntnander of the District,
was sent for, and the Military were in perfel readi-
ness to march, when it was found that the whole was
a false alarm, originating in the appcarance of a num-
ber of our own ships off that part of the coast.
Yesterday a Coarr of DireOcors was herd at the
East India House, which adjourned at six o'clock
till Tuesday next.

By the Speculator Whaler, which left St. Helena
the 16th of March, we learn, . that the ships Earl
Admiral Gardner, Charlton, and Calcutta,
homeward-bound, were left there ; also the Britan-
qia.antl -Georgiana outward. The "Aluddart had
- England.
