PARLIAMENT/11;r PROCEEDING&

HOUSE OF LORDS, FRIDAY, JUNE 14.

Lord SUFFOLK gave !mete, that on Tucklay next he would

fubmit a ligation to their Lortlfhips relative to the Rate ot Ireland.
The Order of the Day fur gui.ig into a Committee on Mr. fur-
tiee Foes oak, Was difcbarged; and Lord WALSINGHAiVI

moved, that the laid Committee do At on Monday.
Lord AUCKLAND gave notice, that on Monday he wnnid
'Move that the Committee ihnuld bc poßponed to that day three
months; conceiving it utterly impolibie to bring the matter to a
onclunon this fefflon.

Lord HAWKESBURY lilted that he ozonic' opporz the wto-
tion. He was of opinion the affair might he terminated in this
-feffion; but if it fhould not, it seas his intention to bring in a Bill
to continue in effal. the proceedings over to the beginning of near
feMon.

After a few words from Lord BOLTON, the motion of Lord
Waihngharn was agreed to.

• The LORI) CHANCELLOR gave notiee, that. on Monday he
would move for the attendance of the Itc;:ges to give their opinion
In the cafe of Thelluffon v. Woodford.

fTIPINAtARY CURATIe BILL.
The Order being read fnr their Lord(hips' going
into a Committee on this Bill, the Hnufe accord.
: ingly refolved into the fame, Lord Willingham in
the. Chair.

The LORD CHANCELLOR fnitil, that the nrovi-
-Vous of the Bill were, in many points,firfceptible of va•
tious amendments. He confidered the provilions to
. be.principally defee:ve with regard to the powers
7aneant to be given to the Biroops. The Noble and
Learned Lord was proceeding ; when
Lord AUCKLAND faid, he came down deter.
=tined to avoid all hypercritical objeCtions to the Bill,
- and to difeountenance flight amendments. He confeff-
- ed that part of what fell from his Noble and Learned
Friend excited doubts, and raifed difficulties in his
mind. One of his principal doubts rcfpcfted the ex•
tenfion of the Bill to Ireland. He perfealy agreed
with his Learned Friend, that the ciaufes regoired a
great deal of amen 'mem.
Lord HAWKESBUItY wifhed to offer a few r:b-
fervations to the Como- ittee. With refpea to the
principle of the Bill, it was one, when he confidercd
ir, in all its views and ben ings, to which he was com-
pletely friendly. He was of opinion, at the fame
time, that many of the provifions of the Bill were
very defeetive, and called for material amendments ;
thole, it was the duty a that Houfe to endeavour to
make.

The Earl of SUFFOLK expreffed hi• cordial ae-
quiefcence in the principle of the Bill, but of lomede-
tailed confidetations in the meafure he difripproved,
particularly the multiplication of oaths, and cfpecially
as they were applied by the Bill.
The Bifhop of Sf. ASAPH delivered his fenti-
ments upon a variety of eetailed confider-micros in the
Bill, men of which loudly called for reaificatint, and
amendment. On this head, he cordially agreed with
fome cf their Lordfhips who had fpoken in the Com-
mittee. Upon the whole, greatly a► he had the Bill
at heart, convinced, as he was, of its falutary tenden-
cy, he would rather the Bill was lon, than that it
thnuld pats with its prefent numerous imperfeaicns.'
In the courfe of his fpeech, the Learned Prelate ad-
verted to feveral provifions of the Bill, which (truck'
him as prefenting a chaos of coniradiaionc, as abford,
inefficient, injurions, and derogatory to the dignity of
the clerical charaaer ; and, in force ;finances, tend-
ing to degrade the Bifhnps. In what he Paid, he
meant not the (lighten reference or allufion to the
conduit of his Reverend brother (the Bifhop of Lon.
Jon) upon the occafion. He well knew the purity
and benignity of that Reverend Prelate's motives for
coming forward; there were evinced by the Bill in-
troduced by his Lnr•lfhip for the porpnfe, in former
year ;,which was widely different from that at prefent
under conlideration ; aad, in Come puints of view,
formed a !hiking contrail to it.
The Bifhop of LONDON entertained, in fome
points of view, a very different opinion of the prefent
Bill from the L-arned Prelate who had lan fpoken ;
'wither could he confider the proyifions adverted to
as a chaos of contradiaions. He vindicated his own
motives in coming forward, and adverted to the hit:
tory of former Bills on the fubjea. He intended to
have provided for what was propoicd by the prefer(
Bill, by a claufc in the Refidence Bill ; that was dif-
approved of at the time, and a leparate Bill reeom•
mended. In fupporting the prefent meafure, he per-
former/ confcientiouny what he deemed.kis duty to the
public and to the Houfe. He had no perfonal intereft
to ferve ; henceforward,. he left the Bill to the dif-
cretion, the juflice, and The proteaion of the Houle.
The LORD CHANCELLOR and the Bifhop cf
ST. ASAPH fever Ally (poke in explanation.
Lord Vifeount SIDMOU f H fhortly, but impref•
lively, delivered his fentiments. He declared him-
felf warmly an advocate for the principle of the Bill;
yet, as to fome of its provifions, be certainly enter-
tained doubts. Situated as he was, confiderations of
duty were paramount to every other, and in that view
he entirely agreed with what fell from fome of their
Lordthips, who were of opinion that the Houfe
fbould do what it felt to be its duty with refpe& to
any alteration or amendment of the Bill, without
reference to what may be the event of tilde Altera
tions on the part of another irranch of the Legifla-
tore. Though he frooke this generally, he entertained
ftrong hopes that the Bill may be rendered a falatary
and beneficial meafure, with the affinance of their
Lordfhips, and fill meet with the approbation of the
other Hook of Parliament ; fo as that, in the coorfe
of the p:efent feffion, it would receive the affent of

Difpatches were this morning received from Admi-
ral COCHRANE, brought by the John Bull hired armed
cutter, arrived at -Plymouth. Admiral CocHaat/
failed from Jamaica on the 48th of April, and was
►eft by the cutter on the 14th ultimo off Cape Nicola
Mole, Hifpaniola.

Thefe difeatches bring no intelligence refpefting
the Combined fleets-.-indeed they hardly could from
the time the latter failed.

Some credit is attached to the Ratement of Cetera'
Spanith (hips having been fcen in lat. 18. 30. long. 48.
from which it is inferred that the Spaniards are goin g
to Trinidad, which they will attempt to take by a
coup de wain. In that we doubt whether they would
fucceed, their whole numbers being but 2,3e0 land
forces, according to every account. Upon the fup-
pofition of the fleets feparating, and the Spanial ds
purfuing their own obj ea, it is thought that the French
went on to the EaR Indies. In a week or two it may
he afcertained whether the enemy are arrived in the
Weft In'iec. The frigate fent out by Sir Jon m thins,
on the junaion of the two fleets, has reached Barba-
does. A heavy fleet, however, could not be expeaed
to make the pafrage out near fo foon.

Flom the circumflance of the Monday. enumerat-
ing Canada among the places where we might ex•
peat a blow, a (peculation is flarted that Bon APART a,
from vanity, is defirous to recover that colony, ori-
ginally French, and people at 'call Lower Canada
chiefly with French inhAbicants. We do not tl,inlc
the armament fufficient for the obje&, were its ruccefs
foppofed to be adequate to the rilk and danger in-
curred. It could produce little or no prefent advan-
tage to France, or annoyance to this country, equal
to BONAPARTI9S expeamions (tom any expedition
he fends out amid( fo many perils. It would be a
conquell of lofs to the French, were it even probable
they would be able to keep it, which is not the-cafe.

The following Leu,r enables us to communicate
the lateft intelligence from the Squadron off Ferrol :
His majefty's lEip Terrible, off ferrol, Jour s,
14 On the 3111 of 'aft month, we were joined by the'
ROYAL SOYIRSIOII, Q2BIN, and Theaoott, which
(hips are to remain here until further orders from
England. Lord Nstsos, it Teems, is gone to the Weft
Indies, in purfuit of the Combined fleets, and the
eight fail of the line which failed from England,
under the command of Admiral COLLINGWOOD, are
fuppofed to be gone off Cadiz, and up the Mediter-
ranean. The French and Spaniards have thirteen fail
of the line ready for tea in fermi, and have troops
embarked, ready to flip out the firft favourable op-
portunity ; but as we have nine fail of the line, three
of which are three-deckers, I hardly think they will
venture out."

The firit overture from Borrararrv, when he
wrote the letter to the ICING, was made, it is be-
lieved, fulely with a view to frullrate the endeavours
of our Government to form a Continental Alliance.
The reference to the Emperor of Rossta difappointed
for a time his expeaations ; though, by the delay
which necefrarily occurred, he to far fucceeded as to
prevent any concert of hoftile preparations for the
prefent year. He has now renewed his overture to the
Court of Peterfburgh, through the Medium of ihofe of
Vienna and Berlin, and his explanation of the letter
lately addrellcd by him to the KING of Great Britain
has at length been heard. His profeffions are fpe-
cious, but he frill confines himfelf to general terms.
—ln the mean time, a conefaional treaty between
the Courts of London and Peterfburgh has been con-
cluded, by which Ruffia binds herfelf to take up arms
againft France in the event only of BOXAPIATeM-
fufing to accept of equitable terms of peace. Of the
nature of this treaty he has been fully informed by
the Court of Berlin, but his replies have hitherto been
evafive and unfatisfiaory. The reprefentations of
the Britiffi Government upon the fubjea are of the
moll dignified defcription, R uffia has called upon
France, through the medium of Prnffia, for a final
and fpecific declaration. Thus fitoated he can no
longer evade the quellion, and of his difpofition no
poffible doubt can be entertained from the furious
language which has lately appeared in the Moniteer,
and the explicit and unequivocal declaration that no-
thing but the treaty of Amiens will be accepted by
France. Whether this demand will be confidered jolt
' or equitable by the Court of Peteriburgh, a very fisort
time will determine. We hope, notwithftanding the
affertions of the enemy, it will not.

return to him the Order of the Black Engle. That
Minifter replied, that this affair had nothing to do
with thole of the I..egation, and that he might apply
to his Minifter at Berlin. M. Batecemarea, the
Charge d'Affaires of Sweden in that capital, received
Indeed a letter addreffed to the King of Pruffia, with
a packet containing the ribband of the Black Eagle.
This Minifter, who was very much embarrafed, was
fully fenfible of the inconvenience and folly of this
condad : he confulted in regard to this difagreeable
million M. Da HARDINIERG, who advired him to
gain time, and to fee whether there might not be
found tome means to take advantage of a favourable
moment of the King of Swedent to make him compre.
bend how extraordinary and inconliderate his conduet
was. M. Bei nceldalill having afterwards demanded
an official interview of M. HMI pßria, this Minifter
delayed it as long as he could, being defirnus to give
the King of Sweden time to relied On the pofition in
which he was about to plunge himfelf in regard to
Europe. However, op the repeated &mend of M.
BUNCKMANII, he was obliged to receive the packet
and letter addreffed to the King. The ling of Praia
confidered it as beneath his dignity to fend hack the
ribband of the Swedifh Order of Saint Seraphim,
which be received in 1787, in return for the Pruffian
Order. He was fatisfied with anfwering the King of
Sweden by filence, and by ordering his Minifler to
quit Stockholm immediately. But feveral Profflan
General Officers who had been decorated with the
Swedifh Order, among whom was Lieutenant Ge-
neral de SCHMITT/IP, who received it in 1798, in
cenfed at this infult to their Sovereign, refolved to
fend it back. General de SC}IMIETTAU at the fame
time wrote a letter to Gussavus Moreau:, which
