SMUGGLING PRAYS/MON DILL.
The Houfe refolved into a Committee on the
Smuggling Prevention Bill, Lord WALSINGNAIS in
the Chair.
Mr. ADAM was heard at confiderable length, as
fecond Connie!, on behalf of the Petitioners in the
Mantis of Guernfey and Jerfey, againft certain claufes
in the Bill.
After the Learned Counfel had concluded, a abort
converfation took place between Lord HOLLAND and
the LORD CHANCELLOR, relative to the claufes in quef-
tion. The former Peer thinking the points they in-
volved of fo much importance, as to require the at-
tendance of the Judges, when the Bill Should be next
taken into confideration, which was propored to be
on Monday. To this proceeding the Lord Chancel-
lor objected at the fame time he admitted the im
• portance of the points adverted to, either as they re-
(peat: i exeic;fe and legiflative power, :dative to the
Iflaods in quellion , if, by the law and conaitution of
the country, no inch right exilled, or, on the other
hand, the abandonment of the exercife of the right
of it did exift ; upon thefe points, he meant then to
offer no opinion : future opportunities would arife in
the fubfequent Rages of the Bill ;as alto for the dif-
culEon of the claufes objeaed to.
Lord HOLLAND wifhed the queflion to be put
upon his propofition for the attendance of tbe Judges
on Monday, which was accordingly done; it was ne-
gatived ; but the refult, as we could collo% was,
that the farther confieleration of the Bill, in a Cque-
mittte, was axed for Monday.

A Mail frown Jamaica arrived this day, brought tol
Falmouth by the Hamilton, hired pa4et, in .0 days.
She brings no news ref-peeling the combined fleet.
Indeed the arrival of that fleet at Martinique, which
happened on the s4th of May, could not be known
at Jamaica when the Hamilton failed on the t9th.
Admiral COCHRAN' had failed in the briirsta
for Barbadoes, and Admiral DACLINg with fix fail of
the line, was enuring off Jamaica when the packet
left the Ifland. The (hips which Admiral Dacus
had with him were, the Sr. GIORG R. l'fiscuur, VAN.
GUARD, ATLAS, THLSIUS, and VETSRADI betides
feveral frigates.
The Crefcent, Capt. Lit" from Tortola, is ar-
rived at Liverpool ; the failed on the 29th May, and
brings an account that Admiral COCHRAN a was to
windward of Eirbadoes with his own (sip only, and
had fent in a difpatch by his Majelly's (hip limo:,
dated the 26th, requefling that all velfels at that
Ifland would immediately proceed to a neutral port,
or to England.
We are happy to (tate that the whole of the Ja-
maica fleet eicedt fire hips, may now be confidered
as laic in post. Of the five miffing (hips one is

known to have gone on !lore in Crooked Ifland par-
fage.—The others are fuppofed to be fafe.
1 'We have the pleafure to announce the fafe arrival
at Pnrtfmouth, of the homeward-bound fleet from
the Mediterranean, confifirig of upwards of 40 fail,
under convoy of his Majeny's (tip ANSON. The
tranfports, ts in number (among which are the
Ann, Ellen, Berwick, Liberty, Freedom, AEtion, and
Lady ShaVt) are arrived at Portfmoutb. The STAIV
LING, Capt. Burrow, with the (tips from Smyrna
for the River, have arrived off Dover.

We learn by the Amson frigate, that fix fail of
Spanifl, line of battle (hips were lying in Cartba•
gena.—Sir RICHARD BICKERTON, with the QIIEEN
and DRAGI"N men of war, was cruizing off Cadiz.
The ANSON was chafed by a Spann line of battle
!hip, cruifing between Cape St. Vincent's and Cape
St. Mary's. The ANSON left Malta on the tit May,
and palled Gibraltar on the 31ft, at which time the
expedition under Sir Jaistts CRAIG was lying there.

The Baltic fleet, the fife arrival of which at Yar-
mouth was announced in our lift, has (ince come fafe
into the River.

. No official accounts have yet been received of the
arrival of Lord Nszsow in the \Vef✓< Indies. It is,
however, pretty generally believed that this intelli-
gence will foon be confirmed, as it was certainly
poffible his Lordihip might arrive by the time named,
and fimilar accounts were received both from Btiaol
and Penzance.

The report of the capture of Trinidad has been re-
vived. The news was brought to Lord GAIDNEe's
fleet by the Num cutter ; but the NILE cutter had it
from a veffel at fea, which had received it at Vigo.
In other words. it is madly a repetition of the firli
accounts, but through another channel.
It is impofllble, we think, that Trinidad could
have been taken on the 3d or 4th of May, and the
event have been unknown at St. Lucie onthezift,and
Barbadoes on the 26th. If taken at all, it muff have
been either by the two Chips of the line not accounted
for, being detached ot that fervice, or by the whole
fleet after leaving Martinique. In the fiat cafe, the
force, we apprehend, would be inadequate ; and in
the fecond, we do not believe the fleet could beat up
fo far to windward, after the :La, as to take the
place within a period fiuce which the news could ar.
rive in Europe.

The following letter was received on Thurfday
from Captain Ho P EN, of the Neptune (A. T.) by
his owner, at Plymouth, fent from Barbadoes the
a6th May laft, and will be interefting at this period.
" Barbadoes, May as, 18os.
st Mr. -I wrote you in my IA that we were going to fea that
evening or the next morning—but a few hours afterwards there
was a general embargo tai on all veliels,and has been ever fince the
xdth inft.mt. We were expceting the french fleet here hourly, but
we have now an account that the French flea is ftM at Martinico
well up the harbour, moored in line of battle, as they have had an
account that Lurd Nelkm's fleet was here. They have not done
any mifchief yet to any of our iflands. We are expedting hourly a
Britifh fleet out here—if they come before the homeward bound,
Beet falls we Stall be kept out. Captain Kemp is not yet arrived
therefore cannot fend you the necaary certificate in this letter.—
In my next I hope you will receive one from, Sir, your moft obe-
dient fervtnt,

W7ll. UOrttN."
By the above letter it will be Peen, the enemy,
on their arrival at Martinico, had, only on hear-
ing a report of Lord NELSON'S arrival in the Weft
Indies, gone into the inner harbour, and moored

themfavcs in a line, for fear of an attack; and

when the above letter came away, and another letter
dated St. Lucia 27th May, received at Plymouth on
Thorfday, corroborating the above fiatement, they
had not attempted, though twelve days had elapfed
fince their arrival, any enterpr ife againiL the Britilh

The reports refpeBing the new arrangements in
confeqnence of the refignation of Lord SIDMOUTH
and his friends, are fo various and contradidory, that
nothing can be Rated with certainty. It is pretty
generally thought that Mr. PITT will not find it an
eafy matter to make up a refpatable, powerful, and
efficient Cabinet; and it i, even the opinion of many
that be will not be able biinfelf to remain long in office.

Saturday his WIEST'', and Princeilis AUGIESTA,
SOPHIA, and Ast s!. Ls, took an airing on horfelsack in.
Windfor Great Park.

Her MAJESTY and the other Prineeffes took an air.
ing to Frogmore.
Yeßerday morning his MAJESTY, and Princeas
AUGUSTA, SOPHIA, and AMELIA, walked to St,
George's Chapel, and heard a fcrmon preached by
the Rev. Dr. MARsHAm, from the 116th Pfalmt szth
and lath verfes ; after fervice they took an /airing to
Frogmcre.

The Rovat. Pamicy are expeded to leave Wind-
for on Friday morning for Weymouth. The difap-
pointment experienced in different parts of the coun-
try at their not going the intended tour, will be
attended with ferrous loffes to numbers of individuals,
particularly at Birmingham, where the tops of the
houfes are covered with fcaffoldings' and the lowed
price of tickets was half a guinea. A printfeller has
the roof of his houfe completely covered with feats;
and at each end is a figure, dreffed as a grenadier,
in full military uniform. A molt elegantly carved
(tone for his Majelly, to lay for the foundation of the
new free church, was prepared. Nothing lefs than
a guinea was taken for a place that would have a
view of this ceremony. The inn-keepers had their
figns new painted, particularly thole which bore any
allufion to Royalty.
The Duke of CAMBP.IDGI is to have the arrange-
ment of all the King's papers, and to read to his Ma-
}ESTI( all his difpatchcs during his continual:ice at
Weymouth.
