had given upon a former day, to bring forward a
queftion of Inquiry refpeaing the Pol)gar War in
India, tore now• to ark an Honourable Baronet (Sir
I'. Turton) whether ar nt,t he had re'•irqui(hed his
intention to bring forward the quellior, of which he
bad given notice, upon a fi:nilar lobjea ?
Sir THOMAS TuRToN anfw,rcd. that he eel-.
tainly had net relinquifhed his purpole ; but as a
change had taken place in the Board of Ccutroul,
be had thought it right to afk Tome queaions of the
new Prefident of that Board, upon this fubje& ; and,
at his refiner}, he had agreed to porlpone hia motion
fora few days.

LOAN INTVIUST BILL.
The Houfe then refolved into a Committee for the
further contidera•ion of this Bill.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
Paid, that in confequence of the obfervations dated
yeßerday, Irom the other fide of the Houle, upon
the fubjea of certain alterations he had propofed to
make in this Bill, and with a view to obviate even
the (lighten apprehenfion, that it was not his with
to weaken, in any degree, the fecurity to the public
creditor, for the late loan of twelve millions, to
which the Confolidated Fund flood pledged ; it was
not his intenti:.n to propofe any other change upon
the fubjeft of the taxes by the Bill, deemed to be
permanent, until fix months after the ratification of
Peace, than met ely one, wi►icb would go very much
to relieve the feelings and anxieties of Commercial
men, without at all weakening the bona file fecurity
which the public creditor would enjoy ; and to the
making good of which the faith of Parliament was
pledged. He fhoold therefore merely propofe a
modification in the Bill, by moving to omit that
part which related to the War Taxes upon tonnage
of (hipping, and import and export duties. This he
conceived ►,eceffary, in order to relieve the commer•
cial feelings of tl;e country from any apprehenfion,
that it was at all in contemplation to continue taxes
which mutt in fo great a degree prefs upon the com-
mercial interefis, a moment beyond the peri id limit-
ed by the Bill, whatever other taxes it might be
found necelLtry to perpetuate under a peace eliablifh-
ment.

Lord HENRY PETTY admitted that the proper-
fition, as now limped, removed the ohjeelions which
he entertained yeflerday ; as, in its prefent (Rape, it
would be merely a nominal, and not a fubftantial
depreciation of the fecurity to the Public Creditor•,
to whom certainly the whole of the war taxes were
pledged ; and which pledge ought not to be dimi-
nifhed by the abrogation of any one of thofe taxes,
without fubllituting fume otber which might be
deemed more eligible in the room.
Mr. 'I'IERNEY laid, that the new Chancellor of
the Exchequer entertained the neweß financial doc-
trines he had ever heard—the Right Honourable
Gentleman went to fay, that the tonfolidated Fund

We are furry to (tate, that our Yarmouth letters
inform us of the capture of hi• M./jelly's gun•btig
Ferreter, Lieutenant WEIR, in the River Emms, by a
party of foldiers, who attacked her under cover of
tit: night. There are all the particulars as yet known.

The Imogene of IS guns, Captain GARTH, by
which, the difpatches refpeeting the paffage of the
Dardanelles were received, arrived at Plymouth on
Sunday evening :—lhe left Sicily the 13th ef March,
Gibraltar the 3111 following, and Lord COLLING.
WOOD'S Fleet off Cadiz, the Ili of April.
The force with which Admiral Dv c icw orr H paffed
the Dardanelles, eontified of nine (hips of the line;
two frigates and a bomb. 'The iefiftance they met
with was comparatively feeble. The Britifh tars, fo
far from feeling apprchenlions on viewing the Turki(h
batteries, abfolutely gave three cheers as they paffed
them !

The fire by which his Majelty's fhip AJAX has been
deftroyed was merely accidental. It took place below
deck, and, after burning fume time, reached the
magazine, when the fhip blew up. Captain BLACK-
wooI). who had afcended to the fp' itfail yard, had jolt
efcaped before the explofion toc.k place. The fhip
was cruizing in the Archipelago at the time the ac-
cident happcne.l.
