FROM THE •PARIS PAPERS.

AUGSBURG, JAN. 18.—We learn that the da-
mages which have been fufiained in the Brifgan
by the late inundations, are ellimated at no lef
than 120,000 florins, which is a prodigious lois for
fo fmall a province, and one that has already fuf-
fered fo much during the war.
MUNICH, JAN. :o.—lt was yefterday Rated that
his Serene Highnefs the Eleetor has figned a
Treaty, by which he engages to cede the Right
Bank of the lan, but it is laid that he is amply in-
demnified for this ceflion.

HAGUE, JAN. 22.—The waters hare begun to
fubfide in Zealand, and in the Me of Cadiand, but
the froft is fo fevere, that we are unable to begin
the reparation of tile dykes.
It is determinedly Government, that th, Bat-
talion of Troops under the command of Citizens
LEGA and HENRY Ihall be employed to garrifon
the Cape of Good Hope. They will fail on their
dellination in the Spring.
By the Letters which we receive from Orange-
Rein, the refidence of the Ex-Stadtholder, we are
informed that that Prince will in a few days go to
Berlin, in order to folicit that Court to carry into
effed lie Treaty of the sth Anvil, 1796, con-
cluded between Pruflia and France.

The STADTHOLDER has written the following
Letter to all the Members of the former Govern•
ment :

" Having learnt that feveral Members of the Government,
Minifters, and other Fundionaries of the province of

The Dutch refcription3, payable after the Peace,
are at 67.

The greatefl exertions, in the mean time, arc
employed to bring about the union of parties, and
by that means to introduce general fraternity.—
This in fome meaftne has fucceeded with the
Orangifts ; but with the party who has obtained
the title of Revolutionills nothing as yet is likely
to be effeßed. It is a fatf that, in feveral places,
the Orangifts have had the choice of polls in pre-
ference to the patriots. Many of thefe latter, who
have hitherto been conftdered as experienced, ca-
pable and meritorious, are now funk into obfcurity.
Fyne EN ce, Dac. z9.—The taxes on exports and
inports are lowered in our territory from 4. to
per cent. an event that has caufed the greatell joy
at Leghorn, and gives the moll favourable hope
of the I e-ellablifhment of trade.

MODENA, JAN. 3.—A melancholy accident has
happened here; the half of the palace of Marchefe
CA Si PARE has been blown up, by which his wife, a
very re fpeetable Lady, fever al fervants, and a num-
ber of foldiers of the Polifh Legion, have loft their
lives. The latter were the occafion of this misfor-

the lower apartments in which, they were lodged.
Garroa, DEc. ;t.—The day before yefterday

for Amiens.

It now appears to be certain, Pays our Gazette,
that the African piratical Powers will net be fuf-
fired much longer to continue their depredations.
The States of America have already declared, that
inftead of fubmitting to a difgraceful tribute, they
will fit out fome frigates for the proteetion of their

The fame demands have been made of all the

Similar propofals are to be made to the other
States of Barbary. If they refute thcfe juft de-

PARLUMENTARY PROatEDINGS.

HOUSE OF LORDS, FEBRUARY 3.

Lord HOLLAND rofc, and called fl,Pir Lordthips'
attention to the circumflance of the treaties
were in neptiation between till', country Jilt! tit-
Courts cf Sweden and Denttiat k. There involved
confiderations of the higheft political importance,
and he :hcught it proper that the Houfe mould
receive font. information refpeding them, the more
cfpecially,' as the negotiation with Sweden includ-
ed a quellion in which the two other Powers were
not implicated. He therefore wilhed to learn from
the Noble Secretary of State, whether the treaties
in queftien were yet arrived, and whether it was
propofed, ()tartly, to make any communication to
Parliament upon the fubje,li ? The Noble Lord
alfo referred to the circumfbnce of his having voted
with Miniflers in favour of the Addrefs on the Con-
vention with Ruffia, which he teemed to fay, be
was the rather inclined to do, from what had then
fallen from Minifters, of the ftrong probability of
the Courts of Stockholm and Copenhagen fpcedily
acceding to that Convention.
Lord PELF( AM, in the comic of his obfervations
on what fell from the Noble Lord, adverted to the
obvious impropriety cf directly anfwering fuch
queftions in the way they were put by his Lord-
fhip ; the craflice, at leaft, was unparliamentary
and irregular ; and he muff proteft againft that
mode of putting fuch quettions to Milliners, on the
part of individual Peers, on fubjals which wet.:
not before Parliament, or in a regular train for
coming under its difcuffion. With refeea to the
Noble Lord's queftions, in the prefent intiance.,
(after obferving on what had fallen from him is
regard to the proceedings on the Convention with
Runia, that Ministers then (Wed, that the Courts
of Sweden and Denmark had been invited to ac-
cede to that Convention, a meafure which was ob-
vioully of a very defirable nature), the Noble Se-
cretary proceeded to nate, that in the way he un-
derftood them, he could, in the prefect circurn-
fiances, only (late, that the treat ;es alluded to were
not yet arrived, and which, he Teemed to fay, was
to be accounted for, on various grounds, fuch as
the circumllances of the times, the (late of the fea.
Cons and Co on ; but, that, when thefe treaties
thould be received, he had no doubt of his having
it in command from his Majefly, in due time, to
lay them before the Houic.
Lord Hotsamn, in reply, obfcrved, that he
would agree with the Noble Secretary, that the
pradice of putting fuch quedions as he had done,
to any individual Peer, was neither parliamentary
nor regular. He did it, however, in the prefent
inflance, merely to rave the Houk that trouble
which mutt attend the regular mode of couching
them in the 'hope of a motion. With refpea to
his motives for putting the queftions he had done,
he conivl afFure the Houfe; it was not in the leak
as the Noble Lost' teemed to him to it:tag:ate' to
'
embarrafs his Majefiy's Minilleas• but on this head;
he could not help adverting to the zircomftance,
that the difcafiron of the convention with RufTra
had been, in rale in(lance, put off for a fortnight
on the fuggellion of Milliners, and, the avowed
hope that wiehin that interval tile Rat cation of
that Treaty, on the pints of Denmark and Swe-
den, would arrive. On that occalion he had voted
for the Addrefs, on a principle of confidence,
which certainly he was 2,0 t in the habits of doing;
and he mull obferve,that as things had (ince turned
out, filch a vote was rather immaturely given.
His conduit in that inflance, he °braved, bad
rather lain on his mind tince ; (1111 remark excited a
go/era/fade in the Houfe) and it was with the view
in fume degree of fatisfying it, that he had propof-
ed the queflions.—The Houfe then, on the Motion
of 1447.1 l's vHA m, adjourned till Friday.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The Right Hon. Joint Falter, late Speaker of tise Houfr of
Commons of Ir, Lout, took the oaths and hia feat, as Member
for the county of 1. th. He was Introduced by Mr. C. Ab-
bott and Mr. Alex.u:d.r.

Mr. NtAiviviiitiNG brought int a Bill for paving, &c. the
Streets of Shorcditch..—Read a tirß, and ordered to be read a
remit! time.

The Committee of Supply, and of Ways and Means, were,
on the motion us the Chancellor of the Exchequer, poftponed
to Friday next.
Mr. W. Liu 4DAf prefented a Petition from the Borough of
Dunder. ft:46re to the duty of two-prnct Scotch on Ale and
Beer.—Referred to a Committee.

Lord GLENBPRVIE moved, that the Aft of the
38th of Geo. HI. cap. 57, night bi; read : it wai,
he laid, an AIE for encouraging the Southern
Whale Fithery. Tile Al was read by the Clerk.
—His Lordfhip then.faid, it bad been found ne-
cefFary to enlarge the limits of this Fithery rather
more to the Eall than it at prefent extended, and
to this proposition the Eaft India Company had
no objeaion. It had alfo been thought advise-
able to extend their Charter for five years longer :
he should therefore move, that the Houfe Ihoule4
to-morrow, refolve itfelf into a Committee, to take
the laid At into confederation.

Lord GIANBERVIE then moved, that the 29th
Geo. 11. cap. 39. fhould be read ; which was, he
Paid, an Aft for regulating the Fifh Markets of
London and Weltminfter, and for preventing the
forefialling of fill. The Ad having been read,
his Lordfhip faid, that by this AFt it was enaded.
that MI fhould be fold within one week after it was
brought to market. The words of the AEI were
general, and bad been conitrued to extend to
Eels ; now the fame kind of reafoning which ap.
plied to other flih molt undoubtedly did not extend
to Eels, becaufe there was not the fame reafon
for their immediate fale. He fhould, therefere,
with the permiffion of the Houfe, move for leave to
bring in a Bill to repeal fo much of the faid AFt acre ,
lated to Eels.—Leave was given to bring in the Bill.

ISITRISONED DEBTORS.

Mr. CHARLES WYNNE laid, that previous to -I
the Recefsle took the liberty of Rating his dcfign
~
of calling the attention of the Houfe to the pro- ,
pricty of compelling thofe Debtors of large pro- v
perty, who preferred living extravagantly in a
prifoa to 'the payment of their kilt debts, to fur-
render their property to 'fatisfy their creditor..
He now rofe to give notice, that he Ihould on Mon-
day next fubmit a Motion for leave to bring in a
Bill to extend the provifions of the Lords Ad.
I_ Adjourned till to morrow.
