that was, that no part of it was direfted to the con-

would be as ready to meet the Right Hon. Gentle-

of the plan, when they Would be regularly lubnsitted

Mr. CANNING could not conceive, why the
/tight Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Windham)
lbould think it extraordinary that the fyllem which
Isa produced in an elaborate !pooch of four hours,
lbould be dirculTed. For what purpofe did he bring
it forward, if it was not intended that it fhould be

,So I will tell the Noble Lord. Why did his Right

if he does not mean to proceed with it immediately?

Mr. PERCIVAL obferved upon what had fallen
two Hon. Members (Lord Temple and Colonel

from
Craufurd). He thought it extraordinary, that the
Houfe was to be prohibited from difcuffing one of the
moll important queftions that had ever been brought
before it. H: wifhed the Right Hon. Author of the
plan would fay when he meant to proceed in it ?
Mr. SHERIDAN laid, the debate had not latterly
been concluded in a tone and manner confiftent
with the dignity of the Houfe. The queftion was
not whether any new rneafure was worthy accep-
tance ? but whether the AR propofed to be repealed,
was not fuch as ought to be expunged from the Sta-
tute-Book ? It was neceffary firft to remove the rub-
bifh which lay in the way of all our efforts, and Each
he could not but confider the Defence Ad to be, ere
any new meafure could be attempted. The Right
Hon. Gentleman who faid that the newly difcloled
military arrangement alarmed the country and de-
firoyed the confidence of the army, libelled the army,
and that Houfe alfo, by an attempt to overawe de-
bate with reprefentations of mutiny and alarm. At
lean, before Inch bold affertion were made, the views
of the Rigbt Hon. Secretary (bold be better under-
Rood than they feemed at prefent to be.
Some converfation took place between Mr. FOX
and Lord CASTLEREAGH, as to when the next
debate upon the Bill &maid take place, when it was
fixed.for Tuefday next.
Mr. JEFFERY reminded the Houfe, that his mo-
tion Rood for that day ; however, be would confent
to defer it till Thurfday.

A Debate of confiderable length and importance
took place lal night, on a Motion for the fecond
reading of the Bill for the Repeal of the Additional
Defence Aft, in order to introduce Mr. Witionass's
New Military Syftem. It was attended with this
extraordinary fingularity, that none of the Members
on the Miniflerial Bench took any part in the difcuf-
Goo. The Bill was oppoled by Mr. CANNING, and
alto by leveret other Members, on the ground that it
went to deprive the country of a real benefit, and
placed nothing in its Read. On the divihon the num•
bers were—

Dutch to the 26th ult. but they bring nothing new.
The French funds are at 62.

The followiog notice was yetterday afternoon and
from the Admiralty :
• ADMIRALTLOFFICE, April 30.

" The DOll/CAL man of war arrived at Spithead
this morning, and the following melTage has been re.
ceived by the telegraph : Captain MaLcoLm paiTed
Cape Maize with Admiral DucKWORTH on the 20th
March ; the report of a.Freneh tquadron being there
cannot be true. The DONIGAL left Admiral Louts
with the STINGER, Jurivaa, and Atexiansa on'thi
Rth April, in lat. 37. long. 67. in a very hard gale.
On the t zth the B funk—crew all raved."
The B , it wili be reeolleCted, was one of the
French Mips, a 74, taken by Admiral Ducxwoarti,
on the 6th of March.

The above intelligence confirms the doubts we
entertained of the news, faid to have been brought
by the flip from Jamaica to Liverpool, of another
French fquadton being in the Welt Indies, of which
Admiral DUCKWORTH had gone in piirittir.
We have the catisfaelion to announce, that the
DORICAL has brought home Cafe wikh her one of the
prizes taken by Admiral DUCKWORTH.

By a vefrel belonging to Oldenhurgh, bnund finm

embargo w‘it laid on all the Plufllan ittffels in the

Ito all the other French ports, but the motive for en-
