SIT: KING FUND.

Mr. VANSITTART brought in a Bill for amend-
ing and rendering more elfeCtual the Ads of the
26th and 32d of his prefent Majefly for the Re-
demption of the National Debt, read a firft, and
ordered to be read a fecond time to-morrow.
The CHANCELLOR of the ExcHsolika risk to
move that this Bill ihould be printed, and laid, that
underftanding it was the with Gentlemen dif-
poled to debate this meafure, that the difeufEon
fhould take place in the Committee,he would there-
fore be extremely glad to know what day it would
be molt for their convenience to appoint. It v:as
defirable that there fhould be the molt ample in-
veftigation of a lubjett, the importance of which
was univerfally admitted. The accounts neceffary
to a more perfea cornprehenfion of it would to-
morrow be delivered to every Member. It was
proper that full time thould be given for the con-
' lideration of them, but it was to be wifhed, that at
this advanced period of the Seffion, the interval
fhould be as thort as polEble ; he therefore gave
notice, that to-morrow lie would move the com-
mittal of the Bill on Wednefday next.
FRENCH EMIGRANTS AND AMERICAN LOYALISTS.
The Honfe having refolved itfelf into a Com.
mittee of Supply,
The CHANCELLOR of the EICHEVER moved
that the fum of 17 ,5351. fhoultl be granted to his
Majetly for the relief of the fuffering Clergy and
Laity of France, the St. Domingo Fugitives, and
the American Loyalifts, for nine months.
Mr. Jos s faid, that whatever his opinion might
have been of the propriety of the original grants
to the French Emigrants, he thought if thole
grants were to be renewed, with a view of en-
couraging them under the prefent circumftanees
of France and this country, to continue their refit
deuce here, it was very impolitic.
Thee nasert LOR of the E sea soy Ea Rated that
Government had felt great fatisfaition in giving
every facility to the Emigrants to return to France,
and to avail themfelves of the law which now en-
abled them to return unmolefted to their native
country. Every inducement therefore, confiltent
with liberality and juftice, was held out to them, and
forfome time back it had been the cuflom to advance
four months pay to any emigrant, about to return,
in order to furnith himfelf with the means of pre-
paring for his conveyance, and (itch had been the
number of applications for Ibis advance, that the
eftimate was now much below what it was in the
loft application to the Houfe; and he was fully
confident that it would be confiderably reduced in
the courfe of the year. He was happy to obferve,
that the difpofition exhibited on late occafions by
the French Government, which operated to in-
duce the return of the Emigrants, afforded the
belt proof of that fpirit of reconciliation which
formed the balls of harmony, and was the fairelt
pledge of peace. Every man who valued the ad
vantages of religion or tranquillity, mull view
loch events with heartfelt pleafure ; they were the
fources of ineffable fatisfaCtion to the fufFering in-
dividuals more immediately benefited, and they
furnithed a grateful profpea of confirming and
' eftablifhing the happinefs of the two countries,
of Europe.
Mr. Jos ES thought the reftoration of religion
l France calculated to promote the prefervation ni
• harmony between the two countries, particularly
' while England Mould be tinder the fuperintend
once of the Miniliers by whole conciliating (pink
the world had been rehired to Peace.
Mr. H. ADDINGTON obferved, that part of the
. fum applied for, was in order to fatisfy a claim of
juftice to the St. Domingo Emigrants, whole cafe
was now under the inveliigation of a Board, from
. whole induftry he was induced to hope that the
; amount of there claims would be latisfaltorily
. tled within a fbort time.
Mr. ROBSON afked how much of this fum was to
go to the American Loyalifts ?
; The CHANCELLOR of the EXCH tczyn replied,
33,0001. The Houle retuned, and the leport
ordered to be received to-morrow.—Adjourtled•

There is no doubt that fame Negociation for a
r, rne rcial intercourfe with France is about to be
epened ; and we underftand that M. OTTo has al.
ready received full powers to carry on this affair
on the part of the French Government. A Gen.
tleman of confiderable Commercial knowledge, a
merchant in Holland, (a Mr. COLBERT, a defcen-
dant, as is Paid, of the great Commas.), is to
be appointed to affift M. OTTO in this affair.
Of the ceffion of territory lately made by his
'fishnets the Vizier of Oude to the Eaft India
Company, very little has been raid; and the pub.
lie mind remains uninformed of any particulars
embraced by an event of fo much importance to
its intereas. A letter from Calcutta affords the
following fads : 64 We are not yet fully apprifed
of the means by which the Nabob was compelled
to make this ceffion ; all we know is, that for fe-
veral months the agents of Marquis Wtt.t.zst.ty
have been employed in negotiations for this pur-
pofc ; that the Nabob abfolutely refufed to liften
to them ; that he even refilled the importunities
of Mr. HENRY WILLISLIY, difpatched from
Calcutta to give effell to the reprefentations of
Colonel Score ; and, finally, that he did not
yield until General Lass threw a bridge over
the Ganges at Cawnpore, diftant only fifty miles
from the capital, and iliued orders for the Brit&
troops to be in readinefs to march. Mr. Ws t.t.ss.
tie is appointed the Lieutenant•Govetnor of the
ceded diftriels, and has thus an opportunity of ac-
quiring a larger fortune than ever was brought
from India." Our ultimate fuecefs was announced
in the following General Orders by his Excellency
the Mole Noble the Governor-General :
