Viet ADMIRALTY emirs.

Srl WILLIAM Scorr, after a few obeervations
upon the importance of judgments frequently
given in Courts of Admiralty, and the neceffity
there was to enfurc their perfect jultice and im-
partiality, gave notice that he thould, early in the
enfuing week, move for leive to bring in a Bill for
the better Regulation of Vice Admiralty Courts.

NON.RISIDLECE OF THE CLERGY..

Mr. DICKINSON, after a few words relative to
the manner in which fome of the Clergy bad been,
he aid, unjultly harrafed by informers, in code-
quence of not ftrialy conforming to the AB, gave
notice he thould, on Monday next, move for a
Committee of the whole •Houfe, to confifter of
fo moth of the Al, commonly. called the Non-
rtfidence Aa, as related to informations.

HANOVSII.

Mr. Jonas faid, tieing the. Right Honourable
the Chancellor of the Exchequer in his place, and
having read the hong Manila° of the King of
Prufria, he wifhed to know whether that Monarch
had obtained poffeffion of Hanover?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEVER faid he
could not anfwer the Hon. Member.

Mr. Jos ts repeated his queltion; to which no an-
fwer was given.

SEDITIOUS MEETINGS.
OD the Motion fur the third reading of the Bill
to prevent Seditious Meetine,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEfUtEIt took OC-
cafion to advert to an obfervation of an Honour-
able Gentleman (Mr. Tierney) on a former night,
that no meafure infringing on the liberty of the
fubjeet had ever'been adopted on the general re-
port of a Committee, or with9ut a direet meffage
from the Throne. From his anxiety that every
proceeding of the Houfe Ihould be founded in the
llrideft regularity, he had thought it his duty to
confult the journals, and was now enabled to Rate
that, in 179 g, the Sul-petition of the Habeas Cor-
pus Alt had been renewed without Any appoint.
ment of a Committee to ground its neceffity. In
that inftance the Bill had originated in the Houfe
of Lords, and had afterwards been prefented to
the Houfe, unaccompanied with any Report.
Mr. Taimyr, on the other hand, contended
that there was no intlance in the records of Par-
liament where meafures of the nature he had for-
merly !fated were adopted on the bare report of
twenty-one perfons, on whom no refponlibility
whatever attached. The Right Hon. Gentleman
was, he allowed, comet in what he had faid re-
fpeßing the renewal of the Bill in 1798; but it was
to be recollected that, on that occafion, a Meffage
was made from his Majefty, Rating that there
was then reafon to apprehend an invafion, in con-
cert with certain teditious and difaffeeted perfons
in the country. Having illuarated this argument,
he went on to argue in fupport of the diftindion
of the renewal of an AR which has expired, and
a Bill to prolong the continuance of one dill in
force. In the one cafe the evidence on which it
originated might, with fome plaufibility, be re-
ferred to, but when it had been allowed to expire,
it was requifite that new proofs of the neceffity of
its re-enaetment ought to be exhibited. In the
prefent cafe, however, no new evidence whatever
had been produced, but the Houfe were called up-
on to adopt the meafure, merely on the evidence
which had been brought forward at its origin.—
From that to this he had feen no evident proof of
its neceffity prefented.
The CHANCELLOR of the ExcHrolfra faid a few
words in explanation, and endeavoured to confirm
his former ftatement. •

--- --.---. ..-............
Mr. Ti wits pot by any means satisfied
with the explanation, but perished in maintaining
that he was willing to enter with the Right Ho-
nourable Gentleman into an examination of the
whole Journals of Parliament, in none of which,
he was convinced, would any thing be found to
&Iffy his afTertions:—While he reprobated the
manner in which the Bill had been brought for-
ward, he could not hclp.alfo contending that it
was utterly inadequate to its pretended object. It
was raid that there was reafon to apprehend a ge-
neral explolion by means of meetings over the
country; but how, might it be aflced, could it
prevent this cleft ? It was not denied by the Right
Honourable Gentleman, that even, under the ope-
ration of the Bill the People of England might af-
femble to petition for peace, for the removal of
Minifters, or any other objefts, and if fo it was
not eafy to fee how the Bill would be effedUal in
preventing dangerous meetings, if fucb were really
in agitation. He concluded by maintaining that
it was extremely difgraceful for the Houle to adopt
(rich a mcafure on the mere Report of twenty-one
Gentlemen, and that Report too prefented by a
Member, their Prefident, who, whatever promo-
tion his merits might fecure him, at prefent had
no connection with his Majefly's Councils.
The Cnamcattoa of the Exonettput Paid, that
the Prefident of the Committee (Mr. Pelham), Was
at this moment in his Majefly's Councils, and as
fuch was veiled with refponfibility.
Mr. Purr, in reply to the argument that the
Bill was not adequate to the objed propoTed, in-
fißtd that the operation of the Bill would be highly
beneficial in the very way in which it was intended
to operAte. It was Rated by the Committee, that
the evil dreaded was to be occafioned by meetings
fuddenly convened. Was not a Bill then which
required that previous notice be given of meetings;
that their object be exprefsly avowed; that, if cri-
minal, Magiftrates may have 'an opportunity to
take measures for their prevention, any protection
againit loch meetings as were dreaded ? Was a Bill
which empowered IWagifirates to put a fiop to
meetings whenever they deviated from the purpores
for which they were convened, no fecurity againft
!itch meetings as were.defigned for the fubverlion '
of the Confinution ? So far was he from thinking
that no new evidence of the ncce(lty of the Bill
I had been produced fence its commencement, that
1 he thought the advantage which had reAdted from
the Bill from the time it was paled to the prefent
I moment, and the fads which, in 1799, a Commit-
i tee of the Hoak had detailed, were to be confider-
ed as Co many proof, of its neceffity. At prefent
too it had heed Rated by the unanimous report of
twenty-oae Gentlemen, that the fame projects,
which had firtl given rife to it were (till followed.
. .

_ - z

He denied that the BM went to curtail the Conti. 0
tutional right of the People to petition, and as a
proof of this he defired Gentlemen on the other
fide to recollee that even under its operation they
had raid that by petition the People had unequi-
vocally expreffed themfelves lioftilc to Minillers,
and had founded motions on their fuppofed expref-
hp= of the public voice.
Mr. Su se 'DAN was not furpri(ed that the Right
Honourable Gentleman who had fo zealot* pa- 1
tronized the Bill at its origin fhould now vindi-
cate
the neceffity of its continuance. He had DO 11
hefitatiun, however, in fully agreeing with his .Ho-
nourable Friend (Mr. Tierney), that the meafure I
was wholly ineffednal to the end propofed. To
be convinced of this it was only nee :Miry to exa-
mine the provifions of the Bill. It provided only,
that before any meeting, confifting of upwards of
fifty perfons, fhould affemble to deliberate on
grievances in Church or State, it was previoufly
neceffary that a notice of Inch a meeting, figned by
(even houfeholders, thould be tranfmitted to a Ma-
giftrate. The right of calling meetings to peti-
tion for peace, for the purpofe of inftrukfting their
Reprefentatives to vote againft the fuppliec, under
the prefent Minifters, or for any other objea, Rill
continued to the People. The People then had
only to meet profeffedly for thefe purpofes all over
the kingdom, and under the operation of the /VI
they might carry on their deigns of explofion.
He was glad to hear the Right Honourable Gen-
tleman confefs that, under the Bill, the right of
petitioning continued, and he hoped that, after
the examination he was now giving the Aft [Mr.
Pitt was then reading it], he would have the
candour to land up, and own his mifapprehenfion
of its tendency. He dared to fay, that when he
underftood its meaning he would vote againft it I
Mr. PITT allowed that he might have had little
time to read the Aft, but he believed the Hon.
Gentleman had taken ftill lefs time to read it him.
felf. He then proceeded to read a part of the Ad'
refpdting the right of deliberating on grievances
in Church and State, and inferred that the AEI
was fully adequate to prevent any improper meet-
ings for fuch a purpofe.
Mr. SH ERIDAN perfifted in his former explana-
tion of the Ad, and hoped the Right Hon. Gen-'
tleman would take it home with him, and come
another day to give his opinion of its tendency.
Mr. GREY fupported the obfervations of Mr.
Sheridan, and contended that they had been, in
fubtlance, admitted by the SolicitOr General,
whole abilities he admired when the queftion was
argued on a former night, and that Learned Gen-
tleman gave this interpretation of the Bill to thew
the mildnefs of it. Mr. Grey, however, regarded
the Bill now, as he had always egarded it, a dif-
k
grace to the Conflitution of En d, and a fhame-
ful encroachment on the Libe . of the People.—
A meafure for which there was no apology offered,
and for which hardly any apology could be received.
The Right Hon. Gentleman (the Chancellor of
the Exchequer) -had found a precedent for this
meafure ; a precedent he might have in the pro-
grefs of the prefent war for almoft any thing that
was unconftitutional, and that was only giving to
the public freth caufe for indignation, for it was
quoting one unconftitutional meafure to fuppon
another. A precedent in the courfe of the prefent
war they might quote for almoft any thing that
was holtile to Liberty ; but in the good old times
of the Conflitution of England, when Liberty
flourifhed, and while its principles were cherithed,
precedent for fuch a meafure as this there was none.
True, indeed, the Habeas Corpus Aft had been
fufpeosied, but it never was fo, exetpt in cafe. of
altual Rebellion, or fomething equal in danger to
aaual Rebellion. He Rated thefe things, not by
way of argument, but rather by way of proteltation
againft this Bill, for in the prefent condition of
things, he was aware of the inefficacy of what he
could offer to the prefent meafures of Gentlemen
on the other fide cf the Houfe. He could not,
however, leave this (tibial without taking fame
notice of? the materials of which the Report of the
Committee in 1795 WAS founded. He Paid the Re-
port of the Committee in 1795, becaufe the Re-
port
of the Committee which immediately pre-
ceded this, was a mere echo of the former. Here
he read, and as he went on, ridiculed that part of
the Report of 1795, whiCh relates to the inftruc-
tions found in the poffeffion of General Humbert,
in Ireland. Mr. Grey concluded with protefting
againft this Bill as a meafure hollile to- the Liberty
of the People of-England, and anomalous to the
true principles of their good old Conflitution.
The (tieftion being put, 4, That this Bill do
pafs " the Houle divided.—Ayes 152—Noes 35.
du our return into the Gallery, after the divi-
lion we found
Mr. IV; tasaroaca on his legs, referring to a
notice 'which he had given on Friday laft, That
he fhould this day move, that the fourth Report
of the Committee on the High Price of Provihons
Mould be referred to a Committee of Supply—for
fuch *ere the harcHhiPs endured by fame parifbes
from the prefent prefure; exiling out of the high
price of provifions, that a rum, and that not a
(mall one, Mould be Med ont'of the Public Tree-
fury to relieve that preffure. As, however, he
underftood the Report could not, confiftently with
the orders of the! Houk, be referred immediately
to a Committee of Supply without having prem
(nifty been introduced in a fpecific Bill; he fhould
not pref.: the matter at prefent, though be nip ad-
' liered to his original intention.
Mr. Hawaii's profeired himfelf a friend to the
meafitre, and lamented that it bad been fo long
deferred.

Mr. Bo RDOW affured the Houfe that he felt the'
deepeft compaffion for the fufferings of the Poor ;
but that he mull regard as an imprudent meafure
any which tended to open the public purfe without
a iecurity. that the money drawn from it fhould
be faithfully and punaually refunded.
Mr. H. ADDINGTON contended that the COM-
mittee had done.every thing to accelerate the bu a.
nets before them, but that the meafure now lug.
gelled to the Houle was of fo ferious a magnitude,
and fo complex a nature, that it called for the moll
cautious coluidcration and the moll mature en-
quiry.
Mr. Roe 3011 adverted to the extreme diarefs of

the poorer elafes, and kid that, if a Bill to the
effea of.that now alluded to had not already bee:.
brought in, it ought long fince to have been in.
ttoduced. The Hon. Member. was proceeding to
defcant on the fufferings of the people, when
He was called to order by Mr. SHAW 1.1•FEV1,1.,
who obfcrved that there was no queftiou beft.re
the Houfe ; upon which
Mr. ROBSON moved, that the Houfe be counted;
and Zo Members net being prefent, au adjoar:.

COPENHAGEN, APRIL I T.—The Englifh fleet fun
continues in its former pofition. The number of
killed and wounded amounts to more than three
thoufand men. Admiral PARKER has loft a fon in
the battle. During the negociations for an Ar-
millice, conferences were held with the Ruffian
and Swedifh Minifters.
STOCKHOLM, APRIL 3.—As the Englifh fleet
may now proceed to make an attack on Sweden,
his Swedifh MAJESTY has given orders .that feve-
ral more (hips of the line'and frigates (hall be put
in commiffion at Carlfcrone, and the military
preparations here are continued both day and
night. The garrifon hfs been reinforced with fe-
veral regiments of the line; and fhould the Eng-
lifh fleet attempt an attack on the Swedifh capital
and fleet, it will find us prepared for a vigorous
defence. Colonel Essavrorr is appointed Com-
mander in Chief of the fortrefs, and is ordered to
ire on the Englifh fleet with red hot balls as loon
as it shall appear.
HAMIORGH, APRIL IS.—Yefteiday morning ar-
rived here Lord Nst.sos's Captain, Mr. DOYLE,
from Copenhagen, and to day proceeded on his
journey with difpatches to Berlin. He is the fon
of the General of that name.
Batman, APRIL 13.—The report that counter-,
orders had been received by the Pruffian troops is
entirely falfe. A detachment of thofe troops ar-
rived here yefterday morning, at (even o'clock,
and took poffefflon of the two gates of the new
town, and the bridge over the Wefer. About

ten o'clock the battalion arrived, which imrnedi,

ately had quarters affigned it. Every thing here
is quiet. To morrow the regiment of Schladen
will come, and the next day the other regiments.
ST. PETERSZLIRCH, MARCH 27.—500 n after the

deceafe of our late Monarch, his prefent Imperial
Majefty difpatched couriers to London, Paris,
• Berlin, the Hague, Naples, and Stockholm. The
Ruffian Ambaffador at Berlin received orders to
fend immediately other couriers from Berlin for
Carlfruhe, Drefden, Erlangen, Vienna, Copenha-
gen, Bayreuth, and Ludwigfluft. Count Woaott-
zow, in London, is laid to have received creden-
tials, by means of a courier, from the prefent
Emperor. Couriers have alto been fent to the re-

fPeeive Governors in the Ruffian Empire, through
eine of whom, 111.-de Btostscof sr, the Governor
of Riga, was ordered immediately to proceed to Pe.
ttriburgh, where he is to be appointed Procurator.

ere rown of Prince 0112LNINOTF, difmiffed. Our

young Mona:ch anfwers completely the great

vernment liberates thofe of Denmark and Sweden.
FRONTIERS OF RUSSIA, MARCH z6.—Orders
have already been difpatched from St. Peterfburgh
into the interior of Ruffia, to fend back the Eng-
lifh tailors. It is laid that leave will alfo fpeedily
be given for the importation of 13ritiro merchan-
dife. The exportation of Ruffian goods, agreea-
bly to the regulation of 1797, is again permitted.
It is expected that the importation of loch articles
1 of commerce, as had hitherto been prohibited,
will alfo be again permitted in a fhort time. The
embargo on Englifh Chips in Ruffian ports Rill
continues, and the office for liquidating debts be-
tween Ruffian and Englifh fubjefts, at St. Peterf-
burgh, remains in activity ; but it is thought that
a change will likewife be loon made in regard to
thefe meafures.

Ma LA N, MARCH 3o.—Four Spann frigates and
a cutter, are laid to have arrived at Majorca, from
Carthagena, in order to lay an embargo on all
mcrchant-vefrcls in that port, for the purpofe of
embarking troops and ammunition, dellined for

Generals Gwytn4 and MANNERS.

The (IDEEN and the PRINCESSES left town at
noon, yelTerday, for Kew, attended by the Coun-
ters of CARDIGAN and Lady CAROLINE WALDE
GRAVE.

Lieut. Colonel S r twain., in paffing through the
City yefterday in a poll-chaife and four, from Yar-
mouth, was trdftaken for a Ruffian Officer, from
the eircumftance of his uniform being faced with
green. He belongs to the Rifle Corps.
Yeterday the zd Regiment of Life Guards com-
manded by Lord Car, ts cat-r, had a field day, and
fired a fess de joie. The tft Regiment of Life Guards
were alto drawn out.

The ad battalion of the 3d Regiment of Foot
Guards, commanded by General LISTER, went
through their exercife in the Park.
Captain M'Kestar, of the arm, and Cap-
tain Biaciset, of the Heart, in confequence of
their gallant exertions againft the Dan& fleet,
have been promoted—the former is appointed to
the Betimes, and the latter to the MONARCH.
.The Duchefs of YORK attended Mifs FLEMING'S
late Ball at Bath. A state chair was prepared for
her Royal Highnefs's reception, but fl.e declined
all marks of fiiperiority. Lord and Lady SPEN-
CER, and their lovely daughters, were among the
fafhionable groupe.
The MAKS/ER(IDR at RANELAGH laft night, tho'
extremely brilliant, was not fo crouded as might
have been expelled from the fineners of the even-
ing, and the entertainment fo liberally provided by
the Managers. The Mafquos were about five kin-
dred, chiefly in Dominos, though there were feve-
ral charaClers extremely well fupported ; amongft
there we particularly remarked a Gentleman-in the
charaEler of an Itinerant Pkr, who played delight.
fully the whole evening, aad attracted a conitant
croud around him—A punch, a barber, add afoot-
wan, with many others, maintained their characters
with great life and fpirit—A watcbmax was molt
difguftingly noify and dull, and repeatedly deaf-
ened the whole room with his rattle. Dicey m
favoured the company withfeveral charming tongs
during the evening, which palled off with great
glee and good humour, and the company did not
feparate till long after day light this morning.
DRURY..LANII THEATRE.—The Comedy of Ai
Ida It, and tht Mufical Farce of the Son-in-Law,
were performed laft night for the benefit of Mr.
BANNISTER, jun. to a molt tplendid and overflow-
ing audience. The principal novelty of the even-
ing was the firft appearance of a young Lady of
the name of Demo err, on the character of Cecilia,
in the afterpiece. This Lady poffeffes a charming
voice, which has received the/weed:try improve.
ment of fcientific ftusly, and fhe rung the feveral
airs allotted to her with the utmoft fiveetnefs and
tafte. She was univerfally applauded throughout
the entertainment, and no lefs fo in her charming
execution of the " Pititative Ditty," which the in-
troduced at the end of the firft a& of the Comedy.
Of all the reprefentations of tea-fights, none
ever appeared fo Rriking, fo grand, and fo car-
ted, as the NAVAL VICTORY, brought out fall
night at the Ravel. CIRCUS, St. George's Fields,
on the recent glorious occalion of our forcing the
paffage of the Sound, and defeating the enemy in
their own ports. Indeed it is got up in fuch per.
feCtion, that it pofitively ijnprelfes the minds of
the fpeitators with an idea of reality—the attack
on the fortrefs of Cronberg, the deftruCtion of the
floating batteries and (hipping, and the dreadful
bombardment of the town and arfenal of Copen-
hagen, twiddles a fcene (if we may be allowed
the expredion) beautifully terrific; and the courage
of our brave Tars is truly confpicuous k the gallant
Netsoo is Peen leading them on to utter), on his
flag-fhip, which appears in full fail-Lcoming.down
to the front of the Rage) following Vie motion of
the waves, and manoeuvring in a moll furpriling
manner.—So
.great was the coup erseil, and die
aftonithment is produced, that the plaiidita from
all parts of the Houfe were iscetrant. The Scenery
is beautiful, and the machinery mull lee of the
molt ingenious and curious contrivance to produce
filch ; linking effeet. The Mufic and Chorufes
are very appropriate, and the dreffes, *c. truly
charaZteriftic.--Such performances mull certainly
fiend unrivalled, and will Ito doubt enfant the
fuccels they merit.
