111111 PHIAGII.

Mr. DAWSON (a Member for the County of Mo.
naghan), role and obferved that, notwithflanding
the motion of the Honourable Member who fpokc
Taft, and the Order now made thereupon, he could
not feel hirnfelfjuftified in poftponing any longer an
effort on his part towards removing a defea in the
reprefentation of the refpettabk county to which',
he had the honour to belong, occafioned by the '1
hereditary fuccefflon of an Honourable Gentleman
(late his colleague) to a Peerage in Ireland. He
alluded to Mr.-Wellenra now Lord Rolfmore.—
This deli& he raid, mote as one of the many di-
lemmas growing out of the imperfettion of the Ad
of Union—a meafure which, by changing the
Conflitution in the firft infiance' necelfarily
created new meafures, for which no Aft of Par- ,
liament could provide all at once. By the law of
Ireland, when it was a diftina kingdom, the cer-
tificate of any two Members, that any Member
of the Honfe of Commons bad fucceeded, either
by creation or hereditary right, to a Peerage of
the Realm, would have been fufficient authority
for the Speaker of the Irifh Houfe to iffue his writ
for the eleaion of a new Member to fucceed him.
The impreffon of the Great Seal of Ireland to his
patent would have been the utmotk evidence that
could be required of the fait by the law of Ireland.
But the Aft of Union annihilated that inftrument,
and though Mr. Weftenra was now to all intents
and purpofes a Peer by defcent in hereditary fuc-
carton to Lord Roffmore, yet not being chofen
under the law of Union to take his feat in the pre-
fent Hoak of Lords as a Reprefentative Peer of
Ireland, no extant authority that he knew of (as
the law now flood) woul-1 warrant the doors of
the notate of Commons to be fbut againft him; and
he might kill come in and fit, contrary to the prin-
ciples of the Conftitution, as Reprefentative for the
County of Monaghan, To prevent the poffibility
of a np:afure which he was lure the Noble Lord
would not think of attempting, and to prevent the
county be bad the honour to reprefent from being
any longer deprived of members and bimfelf of
a colleague, be would at lea/k do what he con-
ceived to be his own duty, by taking the fenfe of
the Houk upon a motion to the purpok. He did
not know whether his Simple afertiott of a fait,
already of the utmoa publicity without doors,
would, in point of form, be deemed fufficient evi-
dence ; but he Ihould move that Mr. Speaker do
:ffue his writ for the eleaion' of a member to ferve
in Parliament for the county of Monaghan, in the
room of H. Waller Weftenra, who had fucceeded
to a Peerage.
The Smits!' obferved, that! the cafe now
brought before the Houle by the Hon. Member,
was analogous to that of Lord Maitland; there
having been in that cafe a new Writ granted in
thb room of Lord Vircount Maitland, now Earl
of Lauderdale, a Peer of Scotland, upon the af-
tertian of a Member of that Houk. Upbn fur-
ther inveftigation, he dikovered there were two
&Eon. in The cafes of Lord Don-
nelly and Lord Annoy/a, both in funilar lunation:
with Lord Itormore, in whore room new Writs
were ifuecl. In *O4 two ;pliancy; they were
merely fisted to be Peers of Ireland ; but he
thought this Mould be altered to the title of a
Peer of the United Kingdom, fince. Peers of Ire-
land were, by the Ad of Union, Piers of Great
, Britain, except for certain purpoles: •
• Mr. Daw.os obt,:rved, that the Lords Danully

and Aibtown were fo crested, and their edits Were
therefore different from that of .I.ord Roffrnore,
who had fucceeded to his title.
Mr. Covet faid, there could be no doubt of the
propriety of the Hon. Gentleman's motion.-4'he
fad was, however, that of the two cafes mention-
ed, one of them, Lord Donnelly, had fucceeded,
to his title, and was therefore in the fame fituation
with Lord Roffmore. lie highly approved of the
Speaker's propofed alteration, which he confidered
as a part of that honourable and manly condua
which the SpeaLer had uniformly purfued with
regard to Ireland, conducing to the fupport of its
honour and its dignity, and fOr which he deferred
the approbation and refpea of that country.
The Motion was then carried—Adjourned.

Thole who MN Yuch keen advocates for the
war as to offer their lives and fortunes to carry it
on* are now beginning to difcover, and. fame of
them even to avow, their folly. Language they
find has changed its common acceptation, and a
new di&ionary will loon be indifpeafibly requlfite
to explain the meaning of the molt common terms.
Dividing Frame, they find fignifies to it:creole its ter►
ridoriet ons•half--maintaining the ivergrity of Porto:al,

We have a ftriking illuftration of the 12.RA:sta-
tioned circumflance in the cafe of Demaraskiiad
Berbice. The purchafers of Eftates in theft Winds
taking the words, a indemnity for the paa Oat
*rarity for the future," in their vulgar, inftead of
their Miniferial seerfeatiox, have laid out
_on ins.
sttenfe capital in improving them—nalkfs than
nine millions fierling.
Finding theDutchWeft India poffeffions were to
be reftored, they thought that at kart Come ftipu.
lations were made to enable them to bring back'
their property to Britain, and have accordingly
made Come reprefentations to Lord HAWICISIVRY
on this fubjeft, expretling their firm conviEtion,
that their interefts had been fo far confulted, that
they fhould experience no difficulty in bringing
that property diredlr to England. The Noble
Secretary, it is Paid, could not give a pofitive an.
Ewer until he had fees M. Orro, when the parties
were informed that the property mull be carried
to France or Holland! which will, of eater, be
attended with great lots and inconvenience to the
proprietors, and confequently to the nation.
Thofe who offered their fortunes have no caufe
however to complain of having loft apart of them
by the war; on the contrary, they ought to rejoice,
that by peace, that is accomplifhed which war
would not have effeCted—tbe falvation of the re-

We are lorry, and we believe the majority of our
readers will be lorry to fee, from the proceedings
in Parliament, that it is propofed to allow the dif-
fineries again to make ufe of grain. The high
price of fpirits has almoll weaned thoufands of
the labouring clafs from the vile and pernicious ha-
bit
of drinking; and it is a fad that cannot be dif-
puted, that owing to Phis circumnance the health
of the people bas been improved in 'lite of the 1
fcanty fupply of proZifions with which they were
obliged to be fatisficd, in confequence of the high
price of every neccccffary. .1
How cruel will it be then to allow any fyflem
of revenue to lead Governwent not only to per-
mit, but to encourage drunkennefs and all its at-
tendant evils. Even the revenue becomes a fuf-
ferer ; for the true way ultimately to increafe
revenue is by encouraging indultry, not by dif-
qualifying people for their labour. We defpair,
however, of feting this truth aaed upon—How
would we rejoice to find ourfelves difappointed !
We have fern paragraphs in Tome Papers lately,
which fcem to have come from the Monopoly Mint,
(a kind of coin to which it is now more difficult to
give currency than it was lately,) Rating, that
Corn is as high as t los. per quarter ip France. We
had yelterday a letter from a Gentleman at Grave-
fend, who was in Boulogne on Friday lA, in-
forming us, that bread there was only half the
price it is in London! A handle has been alfo en.
deavoured to be made of permiffion granted to
export corn to France—the permillion granted
was a thing of courfe : the importers had a
right before to export again to any part not at
war with Britain—when France ceafed to be
our enemy, the former prohibition eeafeti to
be nectfrary. The holders of imported corn have
Only the fame right they.bad before—that of ex-
porting it to any plate where they can obtain a
higher price than in Britain : but notwithihmtling
the great rednition in our markets, they molt be
much lower before it will be for the lateral al

corn-holden to export to another country. Th,l
prices have been falling in every part of Europe,
foci the figning of the Preliminaries; and in us
part are they fo high as in England.

On the ala ultimo, on board his Majefty's thip
Anytime, arrived at Portfmouth the ikeleton of
his Majelty's 67th, or Southampton regiment,
after a paffage of forty•two days from Jamaica.
The emotions and feelings which the appearance
of this veteran body excited in every mind, may
be eafily imagined. Indeed, when we behold in a
haadful of men the whole remains of the St. D.
mingo Army, we cannot bat
the
the horrid
ravages of a climate which, in the Non period of
Ids than fix years, has adually annihilated Inch an
armament : where is the Briton who has not al-
ready paid the fad tribute of a tear over the deadly
full-Brings which our brave and gallant force es-
perienced in that deftruaive Ifland I Too full ftill
in all our 91emorier is the gloomy tale of their (of-
ferings to require recapitulation. If any thiog
during their detention in that baneful countr),
and ender the prefrure of filch circumftances, could
equal the evils which they experienced, it was the
unbroken fpirit, the foldier-like, the unavailing for•
titude with which thofe evils were met and op.
poled; but not even Britifh Courage can guard
againft and furmount the infidious attacks of loch
a climate.
On the' vacuation of the Mole, fuch had already
been the tneafures of our mortality, that a hot,
which but a few years before (truck the whole
Mend with terror, was now redeeed to a few hun-
dred men, and aaually comprefed in the (7th re-
giment. In Oaober 5798, the regiment left the
Mole for Jamaica, where, in lets than three year',
alma the whole of thofe brave fellows who ef-
caped the deleterious difeafes of St. Domingo, have
found a grave.
On this melancholy occafion we cannot but ob-
ferve, on the fate of the 67th regiment, that it ap-
pears peculiarly fevere, having been only eleven
months in Great Britain during
11 the 'aft eighteen
years, the whole of which period their lervices
have been confined to the moltruinous, fhatteriog.
and (in a military point of view) lets brilliant
'quarter of the Globe, for the difplay of profellional
conduit. A corps that have been fo long and fo
defervedly noted for zeal and fleadinefs—who,
teftimony thereof, have received the molt flatter-
ing addreffes from Colonial Governments—who
have always evinced the utmofi correanefs and
regularity under many arduous trials, will receive
a hearty welcome wherever it ear be fistioned•
This corps, whole chief pride it mutt ever be
to (hew itfelf worthy the great and immortal
Mitts, under whole immediate aufpices it ,"S
railed, and under whole eye it was firft trained I(
battle, will now, it is hoped, be allowed to repo'

lent band of mufic, arrived in a handfome (loop,
with her matt-head difplaying the fiar; of England
and 'France, upon a vifit to Capt. PRICE, at St.
Marion, by whom they were received with great
hofpitslitT. In the evening there was a brilliant
illumination, with a beautiful difplay of fire-works,
and a fir els isle. The whole concluded with a ball,
which did not break up until three o'clock in the
morning.
Governor WALL was yefterday examined before
the Members of his Majefty's moil Honourable'

The new Comedy of Folly at it Flits gains popu-
larity with every reprefentation, and on Saturday
night attrafted a more numerous audience than
during the preceding performances.
Friday, a full blownred tore waspulled in a (mall
garden plot, almoft in the center of Edinburgh.
During the Proceffion to the Houfe of Lords on
Thurfday, two fervent* behind the carriage of the
Bifhop of Ltrciorieto had a narrow efeape with
their lives. The boric. going at great (peed, the
holders foddenly broke oppolite the Horfe-Guards;
one footman was thrown clear over the wheel, and
much bruited; the other fell in between the wheel
and the fpring, and in that ftate was dragged up-
wards of t oo yards, and relieved without any bones
being broken, although much bruifed and hurt.
Saturday fe'gnight an aged Highlandman, who
had been begging about the &eras of Perth
through the day, retired to a garret room, which,
for a few pence, he had taken as a lodging. There
he was taken badly, and died on the Monday. On
examining his clothes after his deceafe, balls. notes,
and cafh, to near 6001. were found upon him; the
body was decently interred, and information
fent to Invernefsflaire, where it is fuppofed his

ford on Saturday evening laft, about feven o'clock,
in the premifes of Mr. Waxes, in Duke-ftreet, oc-
calioned by the careleffnefs of a groom who left
his candle burning upon a poft, iiradtice fo com-
mon, and attended with to muchdanger, that every
proprietor of a (table is bound to ufe his utmoft
endeavour to prevent it. It was at firft appre-
hended that the fire, which raged with uncommon
fury, would not be arrefted until it bad continued
the premifes where it broke out, as well as the
Wheat-Sheaf public-horfe and the George, but
although it communicated to them all, and in
which there was a great quantity of hay and'
ftraw, as well as coals and corn, yet providentially
the wind blowing the flames from the buildings.
the fire was got under about twelve o'clock, after

a brewing-office, containing, befides the utenfils,
about 4d. worth of malt, and a part of the corn-

A letter frotn Ipfarich contains the follotehlges
count of a Meteor which appeared a few evenings

evening, of Monday fe'nnight. the atmofpbere was
very clear, and the moon thiniug bright in the S. E.
Its a'titude 28 degrees,when on a fuddcn the moon's
light was in a great meafure fuperfeded by a fupe-
nor fplondor, which occafioned the fpeaators of
this hidden phenomenon to dire& their fight to
the point whence the light proceeded, which was
very near the moon. At the time it was gird fees,
it was about F.ve degrees from that luminary, and
proceeding towards the N.N.W. the body, or what
may be termed the nueletn, appeeved lets than half
the magnitude of the moon, and laid a tail at lea&
eight degrees in length; the colour cif the WY was
livid, but the dreaming tail was of a fiery red. Its
motion was rapid and not direa,but in ibme degree
curved. It continued in view ao fetonds;
did not rife more theft 35 or 44J sees above the
horizon ; but in it! defcenteowards.the N. N. W.
when about t 5 degrees high, a part of it feparated
without noife from the rell, and difperfed In the
manner of the artificial fire work, called a roman
candle ; another reparation took place very loon
after in a fundar filent manner ; and then the whole
difappeared, without reaching the horizon. This
meteor was teen at Barham about eight o'clock,and
*Berl about half paft, where it mad be very near
*r earth's furface, as it actually let fire to a houfe
and ftableat Horringer, which were entirely con-
fumed; it is probable that the elevated f.tuation of
the buillings caufed them to aurae the fire (or '
elearic fluid) from the meteor. A gentleman on
his voyage from Stockholm was, on Monday even-
ing, off the Norfolk coati, not far from Cromer;
and he, as well as his fhip's company, law three
meteors, one at fix o'clock, one at eight, and ano-
ther at ten ; the firs had the colours of a rainbow,
and bard with a hiffing and. cracking noife ; the
fecond proceeded from the moon; the third from,
a dark cloud."

Letters received from Chelmsford and Co!chef-
ter deferibe there meteors nearly as above. They
were vUible over a great extent of country.
On Saturday morning, about one o'clock, a lu.
minous Meteor was obferved at Chelfea, which
rote in the Wee, and emitted fo fplendisi an azure
light for about a minute, that the finallefl print
could be read by it t it then took a South-raft di-

It was extremely dark both before and after its
appearance.

The Camasiam obferved, that the prifoner hav-
ing returned the identical Chilling belonging to
the profeciitor, was a circumilance much-in his
favour, altho' he might harp intended to have pal:
fed off another one, if the profecutor had not told
him he bad marked it. The good charaler given
him by the witnelles he had called deferred much
attention.

Yefterday an appeal came on to be heard be-
fore Wu. blaniwaainc, Efq. at this Salons. It
was againft a conviaion of a Dutch Captain, by
which his veffel and cargo became forfeited, for
not having complied with the terms of an AR,
paged in the mith of Geo. 11. for the better regu-
lation of the fifh•market, by which it is ena6ted,
that all veil-els bringing fills to the London mar-
kets, (hall fell the cargo, without r,ferve, within
eight days from the time of their palling the Nore,
ot, in default thereof, be liable to the penalties
inflifted by the AR. A Mr. Butterfield, on whofe
evidence the convilion took place, endeavoured
to put off the hearing till next Seffions, alledging
that he had not been ferved with due notice. In
nnfwer to this application, the affidavit of Mr.
Humphreys, Solicitor for the defendant, was put
in, by which it appeared that the notice was de.
limed to a woman named White, who is fervent
to Butterfield. This woman happened to be in
Court; fife was accordingly placed ift the Jury
box, when, after Come time (pent in examining, he
at length confeiTed that Butterfield had hen the
notice.
Mr. Serjeant Btrr then, in a very able fpeech,
argued againft the conviEtion. He contended,
that the information could not be fu(lained, inai-
much as it dim not fpeelly the place at which the
offence was committed, and might as K ell be con-
fidered within the jurialiiftion of the Magifirates
in any of the neighbouring counties. He inflanc-
ed two cafes is point, which had been determined
in favour of the defendants. Mr. KNAPP, Mr.
Gustier, and Mr. PooLev, followed on the fame
fide. After which Mr. limowets and Mr. War.
sna were heard for the convi&ion. The Court,
after a very long hearing, were of opinion the ap-
pellant had sande his claim good, and thciefore
ordered the cenvißion to be quathci.
