better- that the House
.should be in possession of the promised in-
t.-ma:l,A before it - comes to any -decision

upon the-point. A delay d twenty-four hours
cannot at the question at all, and the, previous

qu,:stion was moved merely for the purpos;.. of put-
ting the douse in posiession of the documents, be-

fore it came to anydecislon upon the mode of the hi=
.
quiry; or to what extent it, should be carried on.
Was there any thing in this proposition calculated
to prevent the Inquiry, or even to delay it ? Minis-
ters tkistied the House to Wait till Monday, (this
day,) when the papers were to be presented 3- but
the Gentlemen on the other side would not ,hear
of a moment's delay ; they- carried their question,
ai:d. put -or'. the COMmittee till Friday ! This

i.s-g,nuity can alter. it : That the poly
.should
attempt to tnsr,present 'it, for the purp,l4,e, of ca-
lumniatirg their opponents, and of co%erir,g 'their
designs, .is not extraordupry, and is in i:erfeet
contotmity with their usu::l practice.

Letters fl:Om BoMbay, dated Septemb,?r t 2, state,
that the Expedition .tor. the. Gulph of Persia,' under
the command of Captain WAINWRIGHT, of La
Chiffonne, was to sail that, day. It had been de-
tained a long- time, waiting for transports, Captain
WAINWRIGHT takes i 500 troops with . him, the
Caroline frigate, several of the Company's cruisers,
and a'. number of armed vessels. .The force of the.
pirates is estimated at 20,000 men ; but the first
attack would lie made 'on a,point where there are
übooo of ti.em. They 'attack ships •of ekry na- •
tion ; and the. most dreadful crtielly is exercised
over the crews of those that fall into their "hands.
ThaY have a numerous flotilla.of vessels, which it .
is the object of this 'expechtipn tp destroy, and put
it out of their power to become so formidable again,
at least for a length of time. _.
. We truly lament to say, no.account has been re-
ceived of the Missing ships in the homeward-bound.
Jamaica and Leeward I-land Convoys, that suffered
in the dreadful Hurricane. of the 27th August.dast.
We have every reason to believe they' must have
foundered. It i's melancholy to add, that four bro-
thers in one family should appear to have shared', the
same unhappy fate, viz. Capt. JAMES-THOMSON, of
the Bellona, West Indianan ; Mr. JOHN:THOM-
SON, on bo:lrd the same ship ; Capt. JOHN LOG AN,
of the Experiment, East Indianian ; and WILLIAM
