PENRYHN ELECTION.
The order of the day having been read for the
Houle taking into confideration the Report of the
Committee upon this elation,
The SPEAKER obferved, that as this Report
elnveyed a charge against an Hon. Member of that
Houk (Sir C. Hawkins), the ufual courfe was to call
upon that Member to a& him if he had any obferva•
tiuns to offer in his defence ? He therefore called upon
Sir Chrillopher Hawkins.
Sir CHRISTOPHER HAWKINS laid, he did
not with to offer any obfervations. He fubmitted
Lis cafe to the Houle, and threw hi.ofelf upon their
jutlice and liberality.
Mr. ATKINS WRIGHT rote to difcharge what
he conceived to be an important and imperative duty,
upon a fubjea of the parties concerned, in which be
had no other knowledge than what he derived from
hi, fituation upon the Committee, from which he had
prefented the Report on the Table. He therefore
was not influenced by any petfonal or private-view
whatever. The Hon. Gentleman here entered into
a detail of the grounds upon Which, according to the
Report on the Table, the Committee had come to a
Refolution that Sir Chrillopher Hawkins had been
guilty of bribed t and corrupt practices, in the elec.
don for "Pitiihn ; adding, that if the Refolution 01.
the Committee fhould be acceded to, it was his in-
tention to follow it up by a motion, that the Attorney
General fhould be direaed to profecu►e Sir Chriao-
[Ater for the Paid effence.
Captain HERBERT eiptelfed his belief that the
Hon. Baronet would be much better prepared for his
defence in a few days than at prefent. He under.
Rood that many affidavits, explanatory of the evi-
dence, would be prefented ; and that a Right Hon.
and Learned Gentleman (Sir A. Pigot, we believe)
1 who undetflood the cafe much better than he did,

might then be prefent, and afford the Hon. Baronet
a much better defence. He therefore moved, that
the debate fhould be poftponed to Friday next.—
(Upon the fuggeftion of Mr. Whitbread, that there
was other bufinefs appointed for Friday, he fubdituted
Monday.)
Sir WATKINS W. WYNNE law no reafon for
further delay, after the bufioelt had been already two
months before the Houfe. It muff be recollected
alfo, that an unconflitutional threat had lately been
thrown out in that Houfe, and that there was a ftrong
public rumour that they would be loon diffolved.
He therefore thought, that no time-ought to be loft
in manifefling their detedation of bribery and car.
ruption.
Mr. LEE KECK was on the Penr4yrt Committee, •
and the cafe appeared to bins to be fuch a gruff one,
that he did net Conceive that there was any occafion
for delay. He did not imagine that the Houle could
reface to ad on the fpecial report made by their
Committee.
Mr. HURST Paid, that ftrong as the cafe ap.
.
peared, was not without its contradiainns on the
evidence. If it were dated, that the delay of a few
days would afflrd the meths of ftrengthening the
&fence, he thought it ought to be granted. He de-
clared, that he did not fee the evidence in fo lirong
a light as it appeared to others.
Mr. MII.NES Paid a few words in favour of the
adjournment moved by Captain Herbert.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
could not conceive that any affidavits to be produced
on Monday would influence the d..cifion of the Houle.
That prcof which had failed before the Committee,
or which was not brought forward on the prefent oc-
fion, could hardly be attended to oow, when coming
in the fhape of affidavits. He walled to know whether
any perfon, whole attendance was material, might
not attend to morrow as well as on Friday or Mon-
day, both of which days he was lure, front the praftice
of his Right Hon. and Learned Friend (Sir A. Pigot)
would be inconvenient for his attendance. He thought
that, upon the prefent occalion, there lbonld be no

Onneeeffary delay ; and he fhould therefore privet,
that the debate fhoold be adjourned till to-tnorroir.
Captain HERBERT acquiefced in this propdal
and, after a few words from Lord TEMPLE, Mr.
BANKEB, and Mr, MAGEWS, the debate on the
Refulution propofed was adjourned till to-mom*.

The Prince Adolphus packet has arrived at Fal-
mouth, with Mails from Jamaica, in 34 days pairage.
She brings intelligence that the Browns frigate, with
the outward bound Well India fleet, from England
and Cork, under her convoy, arrived at Jamaica on
the Bth of March. The Letters brought by the Mail
will be delivered out to morrow.

Paris journals to the zsth, and Dutch to the roth
inftant, were received Taft night, but t►eir contents
are not of much importance. It is true they bring
more accounts of the retreat of the Britifb fleet from
Conftantinople, but their dates are not later than
thofe we gave yetterday, and all of them favour of
French manufaCture. Private letters of recent date
from Holland, fay nothing of r.ur ft:et having retired,
and poffibly all the reports we have heard to that
effat are mere fabrications. We are not, however,
without our fears that SsaarnANt's fine& has been
the means of duping our Agents into a protraEted,
and, in its confequences, a fatal negociati.m.
The French Head Qcarters were transferred from
Ofterode to Finckenfteio, on the 3d of April. This
is the lateft and the only intelligence from the army,
c.mtained in the Official Paper of the t+th inftant.
The accounts front Vienna of the 4th intl. mention,
that the E►rnaort had fet out on the preceiing day
for Buda, to meet the Hungarian Diet, after which
it was fuppofed he would proceed to vifit the Auftrian
cordon in the Gallicias. The Archduke CHAILL73
was expelled to take the fame route fome days after.
Something may come of this journey; either a war,
or a treaty with France. We feel much fatisfaetion
in finding that the Archduke CHARLIS is to be of the
1 party. . .

The decree for calling frit the confaiption of I.lkoB
is executed wi h uncommon rigour and"...rlifi-itch
throughout the different departments oitiltituee. The
Gas or regifters are all to be enusAted by the,etsd
of this month. The aftual enrolment and-aarch to
the frontiers will not Ve delayed leniLatir'er;

The Triniaul Werify:Courant,of the 211 of February,
contains the following article—" At the moment of
fending our Paper to prefs, we were informed, from
good authority, that intelligence had been received
from Cumana, announcing the capture of that place,
by the forces under General CR A U oRD, amounting to
6000 men." We have reafon to think the expedition
under this officer was not intended to aft quite fo near
home as this part of the Spanifh Colonies. We men-
tion the rumour, without attaching much credit to it.
The following is an extract of a letter from Dant-
zig, dated the 18th ult Our town is now bloc-
kaded from the land fide, but the enemy does not
appear to be Rronn enough to make an attempt upon
the place by the Fahrwaffer o we therefore hope to
hold until matters are decided in Eali Pruffia."—:'
The information contained in the extract of the let-
ter, dated Warfaw, the t7th ult. Rating Fahrwaffer
to. have been taken, mull, therefore, be untrue.
A meeting took place on Tuefday morning in Hyde
Park, between Mr. C. and Mr. R.. both of Norfolk.
The difpute originated in Come unpleafant remarks
made by the former Gentleman on the conduit of a
young lady in Suffolk, to whom the latter had paid
his addreffes. After exchanging two flints on each
fide, by one of which Mr. C. was (lightly wounded,
this gentleman apologized, and the matter was fatir
feat:nay fettled. The bullet of Mr. C.'s fecond pato'
palled through Mr. R.'s hat.

when the horfe took the lead, and kept it for the Ira
three miles, the mare pulping him continually; till, at
length, the horfe was preffed into a gallop, and lofing
about too yards by turning round, Phenomena (hot
a-head, and maintained the advantage for the next
(even miles, the distance they had to perform. Mr.
MARSDEN, the owner of Phcenomena, propofed to
match her, to trot an equal diftance, againft all
