PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS.

HOUSE OF LORDS, TUESDAY, MAY u.

The. Bills Defect the Hoofs were forwarded la their refpee-
ti”e [Liget.
The Report of the Committee on the Infolycne Debtors BM
was aect into confideratlon, when the different amendments
made by the Committee, were agreed to by the 144ufw
The Refolotions of the Commons rcipeding a more effedual
mode for the promultution of the Statutes, which were con).
munieated to their I-cu.:Mips at the late conference, were, en
the Motion of Lord AUCKLAND, referred to the COD fidemtion of
a Committee above !bits, to confitt of all the Lords prelent,
The Earl of SVFVOLK felt it incumbent on him
to call the attention of their Lordfhips to a cir-
cumllance which he deemed of the firl import-
ance in the prefent fituation of the country, name-
ly, that the expeded report from the Committee
to whom the confederation of the high prices of
provifions was referred, had not been made not-
withftanding the advanced period of the Seffion.
The fubjee, his Lordfhip repeated, was one of
great importance, and Paid that fomething thould
speedily be done in it, in order to relieve the dif.
treffes and quiet the minds of the people. There
was another circumftance, intimately connefted
with what he adverted to, and which he regard-
ed to be at leaft of equal importance and mag-
nitude, namely, the affair of Tythes. The fitua-
tion ?of the Country, with retped to there; re-
quired the fpeedy and decided interpofition of the
Legiflature, particularly in regard to Ireland,
where, and he (poke from information on which
he could confidently rely, they were one of the
principal fources of the diflurbances which agita-
ted that Country.—His with was that fome reme-
dial meafures with refped to that line of grievance
thould come from the reverend Bench of Bifhops,
to whole confederation he mofl ferioufly preffed it;
for his own part, he did not mean to take an ac-
tive part in fuch a bufinefs this Seffion, but h! beg-
ged leave to obfcrve that he had fome confiden-
tial communications with perfons of ability, and
polfeffing estenfive information on the fobjed,
from which he colleded that it was abfolutely
and of entially neceilary that fomething thould be
done in the bufinefs in queflion, with refped to
Ireland, in order to keep the People of that Coun-
try quiet. Indeed with regard to the general
fubjed of Provifions, it was requifite that fome
Legiflative meafures thould be reforted to, and
thole, in order to render them efficacious, on a
liberal and great principle ; as by a general fyf-
tem of Inclofure, or fome inch decided and gene-
ral regulations.—To the important contideration
of Tythes, it was necelfary the Legiflature thould
particularly attend, in which, as well as with re•
sped to provifions in general, fomething fpeedily
thould be done, or he feared it would be found
rather difficult to keep the People quiet in either
Country.
The Earl of Moir• gave notice that he thould
to morrow move for the third reading of the
Infolvent Debtors Bill.
Some private bufinefs .wa,s then difpored of—
After which the Houle adjourned till to-morrow,
when their Lordfhips Rand fummoned with refped
to COpe's, Mrs. Addifon's, and Campbell's Di-
vorce Bills.

• The Houfe having refolved itfelf into a Com-
mittee of the whole Houfe, to confider of the pro-
priety of permitting the Importation of Port Wine
without paying the Duty; on being bonded,
Mr. Vawsirratur faid it had been the prthice
of perfons in the Wine irade, to keep a large flock
of wine at Oporto, and to import it into thir coun-
try as it was wanted ; but in the prcfent fituation
of that country, merchants were afraid they might
lufe their property, and had therefore applied for
leave to import it without paying the Duty, on
condition of its being warehoufed and bonded.—
Be honed the Committee would be no °Nation
to cniicur in this application, as the merchant
a•ot:ld be benefited, and the revenue would not
injured ; he therefore moved a refolution• to
th.it effect.

Sir Jim); Russia. fall, he hoped this regula-
tion u plild be extended to Ireland.
Mr. BR £OOl Paid, the Refolution was worded
gee=-ally, and therefore of con: fe included Ireland.
Sir Jona PARNSLL Paid, that as the Revenues
of the two Countries were dißina, he apprehended
that %seers Ireinrtd wasfpecifieally mentioned in this
tali. the Refolution would not extend to it.
Mr. Vawsrresax laid, that it was intended to
emend this pros-U*lon to Ireland.
• The &tsars Paid, he apprehended the Hon.
Ban. was not correcil in fuppofing that it WAS ne-
cdrary t.. name Ireland fpecifically t this was the
- Legillature of the whole Kingdom, mad undoubt-
edly, rmlefs Ireland wac particularly excluded,
every Law would ex tend to it as ereU as to England.

Mr:Jones wined to know how long. this per-
ntiffion was intended to 1.. f! —Was it, to laft till
Portugal was out of danger ?
Mr. VANSITTSRT Paid, the blank refpetting the
time would be filled up in the Committee ; but he
had no objection to fay, that it was intended to

'the Order of the Day being read for the con-
fideration of the Report of the Committee appoint-
ed to confider of Koop's petition, refpeeting his
new-invented mode of making paper.
Mr. W. ELFORD faid, he had no intereft what-
ever in this bufinefs, and he was only induced to
make the motion with which he fhould conclude,
becaufe he thought it would be highly beneficial to
the Trade and Manufacture of the Country as well
as to the individuals concerned. One objee of the
Petitioner was, to be allowed not to enrol the Spe-
cification in the Court of Chancery, as it afforded
foreigners an opportunity of taking advantage of
all our inventions. The other (Ned was, that
as it would require a larger Capital than any five
men would embark in the concern, viz. between
5o and zoo,oool. that it fhould be extended to
more than five perfons. He concluded with mov-
ing for leave to bring in a Bill, conformable to the
Prayer of the Petition.
Mr. Jonas did not objeet to the Bill ; but he
could not but attribute the fcarcity of paper to the
great confumption of rags on the Continent.
Mr. VANSITTART faid, he fhould not objell to
admitting more than five perfons to be included in
the patent ; but he, for one, would confent to this
fpecification being enrolled like all others.
Leave was given to bring in the Bill.
The Bill for transferring the Management of
the Hair Powder Duty, and Armorial Bearing
Duty, from the Stamp to the Tax. Office, was read
a &ft time.

On Monday afternoon the Telegraph announced
to the Admiralty that the Attiance frigate, from
Egypt, was in fight off Spithead. The utmoft
anxiety was excited by this notice, and during the
whole of yefterday there was an expeftaiion of the
hourly arrival of an Officer with difpatches ; but
it turned out altogether a miftake.
This morning, however, letters hive been re-
ceived from Cork, dated the Bth inft. which nate,
that the Lydia, Capt. Dunn, (a veffel belonging
to New-York,) had arrived there that day from
Bayonne, in Spain, which place the left on the ad
inftant, and had brought intelligence that accounts
had been received there of

GENERAL MENOU AND HIS ARMY,

After being defeated by the Britifh, in a battle
which took place on or about the 23d of March.
Our Readers will recollea that
,the accounts
from Conftantinople, by the Mail of Sunday laft,
Rated that an anion was expeCted to take place
on the 24th. So \car then the dates nearly
agree ; and the onlf circumftance which dimi.
Mille', though it does not go the length to de-
(troy the credibility of the news from Cork, is
the 'Hence of the Paris papers of the Bth, relpeeing
intelligence in public circulation at Bayonne on
the ad, fix days being more than fufficient time for
the intelligence to travel from the one place to the
other.

The fate of Egypt is at any rate decided before
this time. Che French, however, feem determined

to throw

into that country, if they

can by any means effed it. See the report of the
Precast: packet, captured by a French frigate, and
recaptured by the NAIAD, given in our Plymouth
letter.

By accounts which reached nt yellerday, and
which teem to reit on force foundation, we have
reafon to believe that the public will foon hear of
an important change being attempted at leak if
not effeeted, in the Government of Holland, on
or about the Bth inft.

A letter from an Officer on board Admiral
DICKSON'S fleet, now cruizing off Goree, to a diL
tinguilhed naval Officer in town, Rates, that the
Confulate of France had come to a refolution to
take poffeffion of Holland, and unite it to the
Frcnch Republic, one and indivifible; and that this
was to take place, or at !call to be attempted on
the Bth init.

That fuch a letter has been received, mad that
Inch were its contents, we know from unqueftiona.
We authority, though we are not permitted to
mention names ; but we cannot fay fo much for
the following letter, as the copy comes to us ano-
nymoufly

a AMSTERDAM, MAY 4.—On the 29th ult. the
long expetted General ANOIII.IAV arrived at the

• Hague, but without receiving any, marks of pub.
• lie dillindion. On the if of May lie affemblcd
▪ the Members of the Batavian Government, and
• announced to them the Arret of the CoNloi.s,
6 bearing date April z Ith, declaring, that in con-
, fequence of the revifion of the Batavian Repub.
lie, whi.-11 was long fince found neceffary, they
▪ had decreed that the Batavian Republic fhould
• from henceforth lofe all feparate dillinEtions, and
• form a part of the French Republic, one and
• indivifible. This communication was heard with
• evident marks of difguft, and the meeting broke
up abruptly.—Symptoms of difcontent were ma-
, nifefled by the lower orders of the people through
, the day, and the Orange cockade was hoifted
in the evening.
4. At midnight a fecret meeting was held at the
houfe of M. VANDER LINDEN, the late Prefident,
by the principal Members of the Government,
and a Difpatch fent off to Baron DE WiN /Ft in
• the Ten!, ordering him immediately to fea,
• with inarations to put himfelf under the pro-
' talion of the Britifh, in the name of the Prince
• of ORANGE.

On the 3d of May, at day break, Baron de
• Wirral weighed, with 13 !hips of the line, 7
frigates, and feveral fchuyts carrying one gun in
g their prow, and on the 4th the whole Fleet had
• pallid the Helder Point, and was lying within-
! the Broad Bank, with the Englith colours flying
• at their mizen, and a white jack on their fore-
, mall.

The tumult is encreafing every moment.'
To a certain extent the above letter agrees with
the ftatement which precedes it, but had that part
which alludes to the Dutch navy been correa, its
truth ought, is the common courfe of things, to
have been put beyond all queftion before now, as
it could not long be unknown to our fleet of that
coaft ; yet none of the letters from the Officers,
of which feveral have been received within there
two days, mention fuch an event.
A day or two at firth& muft remove every
uncertainty as to the truth or falfehood of the
news refpeaing this new Revolution in Holland.
The London Gazette of laft night contains the
details of the capture of the Danilh and Swedifh
Weft-India Iflands.—Their length precludes all
obfervation.
