The CHANCELLOR of tyre EXCHEQUER
sail, be had presented a Report, drawn up by order
of the Lords of the Treasury; by a person-employed
to make a Survey of the Highlandi, of Scotland.
The matter of the Report was extremely interesting
to that
,part. of the Kingdom, and might be, pro--
dative of great alivantagei to a valtrable and loyal
People. 4 must be extremely desirable to encou-
rage and extend the Manufaflures and Conimeree of
the
:Highlands of Scotland. The pursuit'nal such
an °hied was desirable at all times ; but the atten..
tion of. Parliament was rendered peculiarly itnport_
ant and urgent, in consegtience of particular cir.
cumstances which had occurred. He alluded to a
stibjnft which was in the knowledge, and excited
the regret of every body, viz. the Emigrations
which had taken place, and which. were expeCted to
take place, from that part of the Kingdom. -The
best Way to prevent that Emigration,' would be to,
giv& Employment to..'numerous bodies of people,
and ht the'same time to' afford the means of en_
couragiot and extending Commerce and Manufac.
tures.' He then Moved, ” That the said Report be
referred to a Select Committee, of which five was
to be a quorum"---,4reed

The C:wurnii tees o! Supply, and Ways, and Means,
wcre put off till Monday.
Adjutitne,l at seven o'clock till Mond4y.

the Paris Papers to the list inst. They do not
bring any Intelligence of great importance. The

...Yesterday evening the, Peliguin Sloop of Wgr

with an account of the Surrender of that place by

the 2. ISt of February. On the preceding day a
?reclamation was issued by the General, absolving
all the Inhabitants of the Colony from their Oath
of Allegiance to HIS BRITANNIC MAI ESTYA

Six days French Journals are now due, the weather
having been so boisterous, with the wind at W.
that no Packet could get out of Calair Harbour.
We end, however, by our Doerr Letter, that yes.
terday morning, at eight o'clock, a French Boat ar•
rived there with private Dispatches for a Merchant in
Town, which were forwarded by Express ; and we
have heard this morning, that a Broker came ye;-
teiday afternoon upon the Stock Exchange, and soli
for a Foreign House to a very large amount, at a
time when many of the Brokers had gone away'►
and business was supposed to be over. This added
materially to the depression of the Funds, which
had already sunk considerably in consequence of
the misconception, or misrepresentation,- of the
words used by the Minister on Tuesday evening
last having been done away►. The Consols were,
for Money, at three o'clock,'about 66f, but fell as
low as 634.. This morning, however, they rallied
a little again, being at twelve o'clock ar-6.1.!;"
