The important occurretce of the retreat of the
Englifh, which was Slated in articles from Berlin and
Munich,is farther confirmed by the foll.rwing account
from Constantinople
a We have at hit efcaped the terrible danger With
which we were threatened ; for, on the unexpead
appearance of the Englifh fleet off this capit .1, which
was entirely defcncelefs, it depended on the enemy's
Admirals alone to enter our port, to bombard Con
flantinnple, and to reduce it to Whet. The Porte

was Carrid frim this preffing danger by the aftivity
and the fleilful meafures. of General Sebaniani : by
his advice the Englifh were kept in negotiation, whilt
the General was employed in making the Moll vigor-
ous preparations, and elehrifying, as it were, the
Grand Seignior, his Minitters, and the inhabitants,
with his manly and eloquent Language ; fo that no
thing cite was ultimately thought of than to make a
gallant refinance. F..rtunately feveral Engineers anl
French Officers arrived on the fame day that the Ent

cauted Goo pieces of heavy cannon to be mounted it
the molt convenient places for defence, and grates to
be placed, to file with red hot that, in cate the
Engiith Ihnuld a•tempt to approach. At the fent
time the French General bad tent feveral of his ofF
cers to the Lower Dardanelles, to place them in fuci

Englifh fleet, if they flacruld pal. the Streights,
enemy's Admirals got (cent of thi', and on the in d
March they quitted, with the whole fleet, the distil
off Coanao.inople, and paired the Dardanelles on tht
3d, to return to the Archipelago. In lets than twenty
days, the Upper as well as the Lower Dirdanelle,
and Conflantianple itfelf will be rendered fo firung,
that any bonne fleet, which would dare to attempt

PARLUMENTARr PROCEEDINGS.

HOUSE OF LORDS, TUESDAY, APRIL sz.

Counfel were heard on the Appal, the Earl of Galloway agalnit
M.Hateheop, after which their Lortlfhlps affirmed the Decree of
the Court of Seffion, without eons.
The Traders Mkt. Bill, the Innkeepers Allowance Bill, and
Avers! Private Bills, were brought from the Commons, and read
a grit time.

snort( AMERICAN EXPEDITION.
The Earl of MOIRA obferved, that he was about
to move for a paper which would do away the effete
of a (range mirapprehenfion which had gone forth,
refpeeing a paffage in the difpatch of Sir Samuel
Auchmuty. It had been fuppofed that too (mall a
provilion of ammunition had been made for the ex-
pedition under that Officer, whereas the quantity
was more than fufficient for the °Neel on which the
expedition was fent out, and more than is ufually
flapped on foreign expeditions of the fame fort. In
order to prevent a falfe impreflion from being enter-
tained on this fubjeft, the public ought to be in-
formed, that, with refpeft to this expedition, and
every other difpatched from this country, due fore-
fight was exercifed for the fafety of our troops, and
that every means was fupplied which could aid the
courage and gallantry of the foldier. It would be
found, upon comparifon, that though thefe troops
were fent out with the expectation of being landed at
Buenos Ayres, a place then in our poffeftion, the
quantity of ammunition embarked was greater than
that feat out for the reduetion of the Cape of Good
Hope. lie moved-
-0 flat an Addicts be prefented t. his Majcfty, praying that he
would be pleated to order the proper Officer to lay before the
)ioufe an Account of the QLiintity of Ammunition embarked by
ceder of the Ordnance Office, on board of the veffela which failed
op the expedients with Sir Samuel Auebmuty,anl a comparifon of
the fame with the quantity ufually nipped for expeditious of a
Smiler dcfcription!
The Earl of GALLOWAY, referring to what he
bad raid on a former evening on this fubjetl, obferved
that he had then merely Rated a fad which was de-
rived from an official difpatch publiffied in the Ga-
zette. A Noble Lord on the other fide, then drew
an inference, that it was an attempt by a fide wind
to ;encore the late Adminiltrntion. He did not
mean to cenfure any perfons, but the fact, as Rated
in the difpatch, was too marked to be patted over.,
With refpat to the ftatement of the Noble Earl, that
the proportion of ammunition fent with this expedi-
tion, was the fame as that fent with the expedition to
the Cape, he was furprifed that the late Minifters
Mould merely claim the merit of being upon an cepa-
lily with their predeceffors, with thufe whom they
bad fu much decried. The objeels of the expeditions
were, however, efTentially different ; with refpea to
the Cape, the landing being once made good, there
could be no liege, but the poffeffion of the place mutt
be decided by a battle in the field, whit!! with refpeet
to Monte Video there mutt necelfarily be a regular
liege. The Noble Lord again obferved upon the
capture of the Cape being palled over without thanks
as if of no value, and expreffed his diffent from the
criterion attempted to be eftabliffied by a Noble Lord
(Grenville) on the former evening with refpedt to
voting the thanks of Parliament.
Earl SPENCER vindicated himfelf and his late
Colleagues from the imputation of conlidering the
Cape of no value, as feveral of them, including him-
Pelf, had, when formerly in Adminiftration, conli-
dered it of much greater value than thole who fuc•
ceeded them, (twat of whom were in the prefent
Adminiltration. With refped to the quantity of am-
munition fent with the expedition, it was a fuhjeet
which would come more properly under difcnffion,
when the information moved for by his Noble Ft lend
was before the Houle.

The Earl of GALLOWAY and Earl SPEN-
CER explained, and a (hart further converfation

called. -
Lord HOLLAND thought it an extremely avenge
dotrine as implied by the Noble Earl (Galloway),
that in the quantity of powder fent with an expedi-
tion or in any other point of minute detail an Admi-:
niftration muff neceffarily a 8 in a mariner direalY-,
contrary to its predeceffors. He lamented that any
companion fhould be attempted to be made between
the capture cf the Cape and of Monte Video, as it
could tend to no poffible good, but would, on the
contrary, appear invidious. With refpea, however,
to the quantity of ammunition Cent, it mutt be kept in
mind that the expedition to the Cape was fent for the
exprefs purpofe of attacking that place then in the pott=
feßlon of the enemy, while the troops under Sir S.
Auchmuty were fent out to reinforce other troops
who had made a capture from the enemy, and it was
not known till long after they were fent out that they
would have to lay liege to Monte Video.
The Earl of GALLOWAY having obferved, in
the cootie of explanation, that the trenches before
Monte Video had only been opened feven days, and
yet it appeared from the difpatch that there was not
powder fufficient for two days more,
The Earl of MOIRA laid he fuppofed that mutt
have arifen from the difficulty of communication be-
tween the vcffels and the troops on fhore, and that the
Ilatement of the want of powder only applied to, the
4.r...-
quantity which had been brought on chore. •
The Earl of RADNOR objeaed to the latter part
of the motion, op the ground that it was fcarcely prac-
ticable for the office which was to make the return to
date, whether the ammunition fent out with this ex-
pedition was greater or lefs than with others of a limb
lam nature. How were they to afcertain what exp..
isro.ars were of a fimilar nature ?
he Earl of MOIRA obfcrved, that proportions of
.a.nrunition were always fur nifhed from the Ordnance
•Qffice, according to the nature of the fervice which
was creased, either as foreign fervice, diflant foreign
ferrite, or peculiar foreign fervice. In this cafe it
was fpecified os.eliflant foreign fervice, and of courfe
It would readily be known whether the proportion of
ammunition was greater or-lets than that fent with
other erpiclitions tithe fameclars.
The motion was agreed to.'
OPTIC' Or TREASUILIR Or TN", *4•111'.

The Earl of LAUDERDALE moved the third
reading of the Bill for regulating the Office of Tree-
firer of the Navy.
The Earl of RADNOR objected to the Bill, on
the ground that it did not go far enough. The
clanks, be conceived. were iniuffieient to remedy the
abaft: which might guilt as the law now Qood, and
therefore bbjeaed to the prefent Bill.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE obferved that the
Noble Earl had not pointed out what provi(ons were
necelfary, in order to make a Ilronger enatlinent upon

the inkjet The °Ned or the Bill was to prevent the
public money from being applied to private purpofes,
and it appeared to him that the claufes were adequate
to that pnrpofe. He had given notice yetterday that
he intended to move the thiyd reading of this Bill
to-day, and be could not help preffing upon the at-
tenthn of the Houle', that upon fuch an occafton the
Noble Lords in Adminitlration•had not thought pro-
per to attend.—Searcely ever bad the Minitterial
benches exhibited fuch a fpedacle. (There emu no
Noble Lord on the Mr:Arial ide of the Houle, except the
Larl of hadnor.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR. thought the enact
menu of the Bill infufficient, but rather than have no
Bill he would vote for this, particularly as any defefts
in it might be remedied by a fupplementary Bill.
As to his Noble Friends not beirg prefent, he did not
think they had heard the notice given by the Noble
Lord.

The Earl of ROSSLYN contended that the notice
of his Noble Friend had been given in a manner
fufficient to draw attention to the Bill.
After fome further converfation the Bill was read
a third time and paled.—Adjourned.
