IIIISIII COUNT! ILIICTIONI.

Colonel BAGWELL 'meted for leave to brink in
a bill, to amend the A& of the 36th of the King, as
far as related to the votes of sos. Freeholder! upon'
County Elections. He did not think it neceffary to
make any decided obfervations in this Rage of the
bnfinefs, as it was well known that the regißer of
Freeholds of this kind in lidand depended on the
oath of any man (wearing that he had a freehold.—
When this was done, it was the duty of the Clerk of
the Peace to give him a certificate of the regiflry, the
production of which to the Sheriff was fofficient to
entitle him to vote. The obje& of this hilt was to
snake it neceffary for the freeholder to pSoduce to the
Clerk ofthe Peace the deed, article, leak, Or agree
mot, by which he held his freehold, and that the
eertiffcate &mid be infcribed on the back of It. He
Paid it was his intention, that after the firfl reading
of the bill, it fhould be printed, in order that the per-
fons who feel any particular intereft, fhould have an
opportunity of examining it.
Mr. J. FITZGERALD obfcrved, that he had
Cubmitted a bill of this kind in the !aft Seffion,"which,
if gaffed, would have fared the Houfe the trouble. of
any petition in the Middlefez Election, as it was of a
general tendency ; and he wifhed to know whither
the bat now called f .r was of the Cane completion ?
Colonel BAGWELL .replied, that the bill pas the.
fame asthe former, with the otniffion of tome chutes
which were then thought exceptionable. •• "t•
Mr. ROSE aid, that, his opinion, diffident
wound was laid dowu fur the Bill, and expreffed
Isimfelf ficumdly to its general adoption.
Mr. DA:WBON- declared he would not oppofF the
bill, but hoped that, as many of the tat Midbers
bad sow returned home to attend the atßAs, the
bill, after its being printed, would not be propo(ed,
till the next Seffi. n of Parliament.
• MI. 41.EXANDER was for the Bill, an account
of shetirivioriety, that foul-fifths of thole who voted
ste eh older' in Ireland were not really of that de-
' Sq. NEWPORT was alto in favour of the Bill.

Woes voters hid them open to every adventurer.
e abreact of Members at the Mites, after three
' or roar weeks refidence in the country, he did not
V isrintrler as a fufficient argument for the delay of the
' tbeafure.
Mr. D. BROWl4tibot ght that a meafure of this
kind fhonld have been propofed fooner, while the frith
).'embers were attending more numerouLly la the

Mr. FRANCIS esprelred his opinion, that the ab-
fence of any Set of Gentlemen did net afford any fur.
Ileient ground for the delay of a falutary meafnre.
Mr. MAY (poke for the Bill.
Mr. DAWSON witted to know whether the Bill
went to encreafe the Stamp Duty en the Regitlries ?

NICGRSSIIOIOI.IO.I ILFCTIOIII.

Lord W. RUSSELL moved the Order of the Day;
for taking into confideration the (pedal report of the
Committee tor the late Elation for the Borough of
Xnarelborough, which being read, he moved that the
Houfe do concur in the first refolution. He laid there
was no occalion for making any comments upon faits,
which were fiitticitntly proved in the evidence before
the Committee, and !ince fubmitted to the Houfe.—
Upon mature conlideration, it was his opinion, and
that of the Committee, that, as the delinquents had
not been parties before them, and ionfequently had I
not been heard in their own defence, inflead of bring-
ing them to the Bar of the Houfe, and hearing the
whole of the evidence, ale arm, it would be much
more defirable to move, as he then did, that the fol-
lowing delinquents,via. J.ifrph Moles Allen, Richard
linens, Thomas Abbott, William Whitehead, Anne
Moulton, William Allifun, and S. Henlock, he pro-
fe?.nted by the Attorney General.
Mi. ROSE espreffed his
.perfak fatisfation in this
7rocedure, and the more to, as, if the allegations
againtt one of the &lir, quents, J. M. Allen, an attor-
ney, were true, the Noble Lord who pretided in the
Conrt of Ring's Bench had the power to ftrike him
off the Rolls for though cougar, anomie' had the
means of rendering themfelves ultful and refpeEtable,
they were often the peas of the neighbourhood M
which they lived.
The MASTER of the ROLLS &id, that though
he was not forward in countenancing profecutions on
the part of the Attorney General by order of that
Houfe, yet be mull approve of the prefent, as the
tumult did not appear to be accidental, but of a pre-
mcditated and Rudied nature. He, however, ihould
like to know whether any other profecution had been
commenced againft thefe parties?
• Lord G. CAVENDISH replied, that he under-
Rood none had been hitherto inßitoted.
The feveral Motions were then agreed to, and, after
deferring the Committee on the Sugar Drawback
Duty Bill till to-morrow, the Hods adjourned.

A very interefling dircuffion took plate yeflerday,
in the Houfe of Lords, upon the motion of the Earl
of Daitsmay, for the produaion of Papers, prepara-
tory to enquiry into the comparative conduit of the
late and prefent Admiralty Boards.

By an American Chip which arrived off Dover yet-
terday morning, and which was one of the three that
efcaped from the Teel three days ago, we learn that
an embargo was then laid on all American veffels in
the Dutch ports, and that the Dutch Fleet bad failed
from the Ten!.

The following is an extrad of a letter from a par-
finger on board the PRIVOYANTS frigate, dated

Plymouo Sound, IVlareb ri.

" On the 11th of February the CHILDM (loop
arrived at Gibraltar with the intelligence that two
French frigates had fallen in with the convoy froih
Malta; had funk the Anow, and blown up the
bomb, and it was feared that the greater part of the
convoy had been captured. The Fisoaan frigate,
lying in Gibraltar Bay, immediately flipped her cable,
and proceeded tofee after them, agieeablY to the in-
formation the received of the iimie-they had taken.
a On the 13th foliownsg, one of the: convoy
which had efcaped the enemy arrived, at Gibral-
tar, and informed us that,.betweeti Cape Falcon and li
Cape Gutta, they fell its with two French frigates.
An anion immediately commented, when himfelf and '
nineteen more of the convoy flood to. the northward.
The whole of. the convoy difperfed, 'and be thonght
the enemy had taken the Aasow, and were in chace
of the bomb, just as he 101 l fight of them. This in-
formation we communicated to Sir Jona Oans, off
from whom we received difpotches for the

im Several uanfportswieie lying at Malta, which are
fuppofed to have failed with the fleet.

" On the lath qr iris of February, the George,
bound to Mogadore, got under weigh, the wind light.
As the Rood threugh they Bay the was attacked by the
gun-boats, captured, and taken into Algebras: the
was a (mall (tip, witha tier of ports, and well armed.
On the 14th we (the Pa svoraers) failed from Gib.
ral:ar, at which time no more of the Malta convoy
had arrived. The oldeft inhabitant has not known
filch bad weather as has been experienced of late at
Gibraltar. On the sth of February, upwards of
thirty vetTeis Weie driven from their moorings, and
the greater part of • their cargoes entirely loft.—
Four of the Spanith. prizes funk •at their an,
chori, but part of their cargoes will be preferred.—
The Mole is Rill full of Spanith prizes of great value.
The lofs of the Ravin is unfortunate—fisiwas wreck-
ed off Cape St. Mary's, and the A lit rums. had nearly
,bared the fame fate. We met the AGAKIMNOS
going to Cadiz to get the crew exchanged: not one
man was 1011.

" On the 3oth January the port of Gibraltar was
opened, and General Fox, and all die troops were
landed. The Genera) gave a grand ball to the inha-
bitants, in commemoration of the happy event of the
termination of the fever, and by way of introducing
his Officers amongft them. No cafe of fever had
happened for many weeks prior' to the failing of the
Parrovarra. Said orders were given by the Ge
neral, on his landing, to the inhabitants, to white-
waffi their houfes throughout, to prevent a relapfe.
It is laid one hundred and fifty gun-boats are col-
lating at Algefiras ; upwards of fifty are already in
the neighbourhood, together with two fire-hips..
Some expedition iS going on at Algellras. They
talk of ten thoufand of the French ailing in concert
with the Spaniards, and, it is confidently Paid, that
General ?holies; is among them. Three thonfand
of the enemy are encamped on the lines t and a few
nights fince we were alarmed with the drums of the
garrifon beating to arms 4 and the guns of the garrifon
being loaded preparatory to fame attack. A move-
ment
was actually made by the enemy, bat theist ott.
