Nova OP COMMONS.
Mr SIZISIVIIIS pirdaKed a Petition from thararbants
and Traders of Gamine, in Ireland, againft the per Cent.
Duties, which was ordered to Ile on the Table.
An Account was prefented from the Cuftonsa, of the quan-
tity of Floor and Rice (wooded and imported, from the tit of
Odtober. zgoo, to the sft of Oftober, dos, which was or.
dered to lie on the Tabie, and be printed.
The CHIANCILLOR of the Excusoysa faid;•he'
had thought it is duty, on various occafions, to
fubns:t Motions of Adjunrnment, which he was
aware mull be produatve of great inconvenience
both to the Speaker, and to the Members of the
Houfe, for which the Houfe would do him the
jditice to believe he felt great regret. The Houfe
would alfo do him the inflict to believe, that be
felt extreme concern at having found it his duty
to withhold from the Houfe, at the time, a com-
munication of the motives, which induced him
to make thefe Motions. He was thankful, he

• _
faid; to the Houfe for the indulgence which he
bad experienced; he was alto thankful for 'iv.
ing him credit for being actuated by motives
which appeared to him obvioufly to !tab& that
eondue. He could not but rejoice, and if he
night be permitted to fay fo,he thought the Houfe
had difplayed its accuftomed wifdom and difcretion
in not calling upon him to slifclofe the prudential
and precautionary motises which operated on his
mind, and actuated his conduit. Under thefe cir-
cumnances, there appeared to him no alternative,
and at prefent, he had a latisfaltion in acknowledg-
ing that he entertained confiderable doubts how
fa thofe confiderations would juflify him in mak.
jug a motion to a funilar effeCt ; but With him, in
fuch a fituation, to doubt was to decidt.. He was
fore he Ihoujil have violated his own (cute of his
duty, and have done injuitice to the feelings of the
Houk, if he bad not ailed in the manner he had
done. lle was upon all occalions, and particular-
ly under the prefent circumilances, unwilling to
foi ado the opportunity of reforting to the delibet-
naive wiftiom of Parliament; but,thongh he was
convinced that fuch a reference would not be ne-
ceffary on the prefent occafion, Tet as there might
be a bare poiEbility of it, he was induced to recom-
mend to the Houle to concur in the Motion,
with which be should conclude, that the Houfe
thould, at its riling, adjourn till Tuefday next,
and be hoped on that day he (build not be difap.
pointed in his expectation of being enabled to move
a further adjournment to the afith, when he trulled
that the Houfe would proceed on public bufinefs.
He then moved that the Houle mould adjourn to
Tuefday next,
Mr.T. Jolts. (aid, he was fare there was no man
in the Houk more inclined than himfelf to give
credit to the Right Hon. Gentleman for the retli-
tude ofhis conduit, and the purity of his motives;
but in the prefent inflance he thought that confi-
dence could not be given by a Member of Parlia.
• Pent, confißendy with his duty to his conflituents.
Cnnfidering the prefent Hate of public affairs, be
really did not underaand that another fhoriad-
jourtuisent would be neceffary, knowing, as be did,
that the ()tort adjournment.: which had already
taken place had excited confiderable uneafinefs in
the public mind. Whatever the motives and cir-
cumffances which had given rife to chide adjourn-
menu might be, however important they were• in
their nature, he could not, as a Member of Perlin-
inent,fee that they ought longertobe withheldfrova
the Honk and the public. Whatever they might bee
they were mode worfe by runsbur, and a full con‘
pannication was necerary to prevent the circulation
pf exaggerated or falfe repprts, which kept public
feeling In a Rate of fhegrefueft uneafinefs and agi•
tation, There was a circumftance which Rruck his,
mind u extremely Singular, and if he was not is
regular, he would lhortly advert to it. What be
pt was, that during the time of tbefe (hors ad
of the Houfe in this country, the Le-
gidative Body in Franc; was alfo adjourned from
one day to another by no means remote. It might
be (aid, indeed, that they were forced to adjourn,
beau& the Chief Conful had ipformed Orin by a
- mange that they did not difeover fufficient unity
of intention, but, thank GOD, there was in this
country no frmftar caufe of 'adjournment. The
'Snifters of the Crown had no reafon to complaip
pf any difpotltioa to oppofe their meafures, or to
lament the want of unity of intention in the deli-
imatiousof thr Houfe.—Thefe remarks he bad
;bought it. his duty to fpggeft, from a firm conic.
, . dog that the difclofure of the reafops producing
the ()tort adjournments which had already taken
• 1 : race, would tend.much to quiet the anxiety, and
...; ' ; o fatisfy the euriofity 'of the public ; and he trait-

Hoare would give him full credit fot the purity of

Nothing was known at Portfmouth refpeiling

- The ROYAL FAMILY honoured Covent Garden
Theatre with their efence hi night, to fee the Co.
medy of Sfial the P h, and the Pantomimed liar-
klmix's Alsausaci. T e nfual expredions of loyalty
and refpeaful affeaion greeted their entrance into
their new box: It has undergone a confiderable
change in decoration and embellifinnent fince the
fiat night. A rich drapery in folds, with a broad
border of gold, is fuperadded to the original facing
on each fide of the royal arms, with a golden
crown in the centre of each.—A new brmdfiuted
golden cornice runs actors the top, from which is
lurpended a drapery of blue and gold, and the cor-
nice is furmounted with large plumes of gold of
the Prince's feather, (landing at equal diftances.
Thefe alterations have been made for the purpofe
of giving additional fnlendour ; and Cu much talk
has been difplayed in the difpolition and delign,
that the box is now in every point truly elegant
and fuperb, as becomes -a feat defined for fuck
exalted vifitors. The ROYAL FAMILY were aifo
drefed in a ft le mfgreeter richnefs and brilliancy
than on their viat, except his Majarrv, who
was dread, ufual, in regimentals. The gy. XII N
tie
fat on his let, between him and the liege. She
wore a fplendid drefs of white crape and filver, and
a civic round black velvet bonnet, richly orna.
malted with diamonds and coloured feathers. The
PrinCefs ELIZAIRTS fat next her Majsrry : the
looked charmingly, and was drefed with great
italic and elegance. Her robe *as white and rd.
, ver, and her head-drefs a bandeau of diamonds
‘3154;n black velvet. On the, ont was a large dia.
' mond crefcent, and on the ides were large knots
of diamonds, with two large blue (Ariel; feathers
in front! (tending at a'dillance from each other.
This dead-drefs, from its great profufion of dia-
monds; was the moll fplendid of any in the Royal
poupe. The robes of the Princefes Sornia,
MART,_ and AsiSLIA, were the fame as that of the
Princefs Et.izaarrm ; but the head-dreffes, though
I'
all in the fame Rile art' charaaer, were different
in
i their ornaments. The PrincefsSormia wore a
black velvet bandeau, with a pluthe of red and
black Which feathers. • The Princefs Maar, a
white bandeau, ornamented with diamonds, and
a large plume orwhite oftrich feathers; and the
1 Princefs AMILIA a black velvet bandeau, with a
large plume of light blue ofirich feathers. They
all wore ruffs of plaited lace round their necks,
and dark fur tippets. They took their feats in the
front row in a line, exaaly as on the fire night of
vifiting their new box, except fo far as the ablince
of the Princefs Alio vire necelTarily occafioned
an alteration. His Msjsrry, and the Sys's, in
the middle, with two Priacefis on their right, and
two on their left. The Counters of Art 'sane'',
the Coun erof ELY, CI t__s
YON i the Earls of CHISTERSIIILD. HARCOURT,
and Moarom, were among the attendants.—The 1
whole eery 11'4 of the box was beautiful and mag-
nificent. Lady Cm:impart, and a party of fii-
fliionables; occupied • die oppofite box, and the
honfe prefented generally an elegant appeirance.
The entertainments of the night went off with octet; .
and teemed to afford much &aline to the Royal
iiitors. Among the audience we noticed the
Pultis of Cuanzasamo and CAMIRIDaI i Sir W.
and ,Lady PITT, Ladies raisTon and titunt. •
