THE DUTCH FLEET.

Notwitbflanding the authority on which this fleet
was reported to have failed teemed inconteftible, we
can now 'tate, that either there was tome malaise in
the report, or the Beet mutt have very fpeedily re.
turned into port.
The FLORA frigate arrived at Yarmouth on Mon-
day from a cruise off the Tezel, and taw the enemy's
fleet et anchor there, both on Friday and Saturday,
on which days the Dutch had only (even fail of the
line ready for tea. The FLORA met Admiral Russel.
with his fleet, atfea, and in confequence of this infor-
mation, Admiral Russet. returned to Yarmouth
Roads, where he brought his fleet again to anchor
on Montley afternoon.
The report ofthe Dutch fleet havingput to tea was
to firmly credited, that Admiral Lprd Kum failed
from the Downs yefterday afternoon, to affill Admi.
ral Rosati in his purfuit of the enemy.
We nn'detfland that the S has given k as
his opinion, that Mr. Poetic:Afar does not vacate his
kat in Parliament by his Law appointment' in Ireland,
as there are abundant precedents of Commoners
holding the Seals in Ireland previoufly to the Union;
and as there was no dilqualification in the former
cafe,neither does there exiftwny by-law in the preterit.
We believe Sir ALAN Baonzatce and Sir Comsram-
riga PNIPPI, with the fame office, fat in the hint
Haute of Commons.

The Portfmouth brigade of Volunteers are ordered

WISTMINSTIIt MlBTlNG.—Yeeerday a Meeting
took place in Welinsinfler Hall, to confider of an
Addrefs to his Majcily, congratulating on the accef-
fion of the Dew Maniary to office.
_ _

Mr. WISHART moved an Addrell to the above
elfett.

The queßion being pot, Mr. Hines., a young
Gentleman, came forward, to oppofe it. He Rated,
that he was a houfekeeper in Weßminfter, and
fully entitled, of courfe, to deliver his fentiments.
He could not agree to the motion, which he
thought ill•titned, and pregnant with danger.—
Though he greatly admired the character of Mr. For,
yet that Gentleman was now leagued with men nf
every kind, and of every opinion; he was acing with
men who could not in conjunai.in bring forward any
general meafure, without a total dereliflion of their
original opinions, which were well known to be of the
molt oppofite and conflicting nature. He then ad.
vetted to the appointment of Lord Exxstiaoeouon,
the bill meacuic of the new Adminiftration, which
he condemned as highly injurious to the Cordlitution.
IWhat could be thought of another member of the
new Government, who at one time had recommended
1" a vigour beyond the law ?" What alhirance or
what pledge had the meeting, that t; nue Inch mea-
tcures might not be reforted to on the molt trifling
pretence He therefore thought i' would be better
I to drop the bufinef,, and with that view he thould
move an adjournment.
Mr. Naar refined this amendment. The Eleflors
had known Mr. Fox for thirty years, and had tini•
faintly found him the Ready and inflexible friend of
the people, the bold and independent affertor of their
. rights and liberties. Upon she fubjeft of one of
the Members of Administration having formerly
recommended a vigour beyond the Law," he had
only to remind the Elators. that %%hen, by the inlidi-
ous machinations of dd....fleeted men, the Coatitutiou
was in danger, prompt and vigirons meafures were
neceffary. Without them thi, country would have
been a prey to the anarchy and enaction which had
I ruined France. As the Adminittration was now con •
Rimed, it was inspoilible that any IllealllTCS could be
adopted not confident with the efiablithed rules of
jurifprudenee.—The quettion was then put, and
eroded ye the original motion.
