FROM LLOYD'S LIST.

The Larkins and „Juliana sailed from Bengal for
England the 10th Pf February. The Earl Spencer
had arrived at Madras previous to the 20th of Fe-
bruary.

The utmost dispatch is using to accelerate the de-
parture of Admiral Sir JOSEPH YORKE'S squadron for
the coast of America. Sir JOSEPO has already hoisted
his flag on hoard the VENGEUR, and is expected to
sail in a day or two.

Sir William Eereford has been appointed by the
Prince Regent, Governor of Cork, in the room of
the late Earl of Massareene.

The Thanks voted by Parliament Were communi-
cated to the Allied Armies, in General Orders,
dated Elvas, June 5.
The sentence of the Court Martial ow Lieutenant-
Colonel JonNstoNE, of the 102,1 Regiment, upon
charges brought against him by Governor BLIGH, is
that the charges were proved, and that he be caskered,,
which sentence the :'niece RECENT has been pleased
to confirm, with an observation that it was lenient.

The Board of 'Trade yesterday signified to the Bro-
kers, that they had altered their intentions regarding
licences from the Baltic, and that in future they would
be issued in the old form, remaining in force until
the Ist January, 1812.
The discount on Government Paper at Lisbon has
risen from 17 up to 20 per cent. From some cause
uneiplained, the payment of some bills, to the amount
of about 5e4.00,(X)0, accepted by Commissaries at Lis.
bon, has been refused, which had occasioned consi-
de table embarrassment.

The following are the counter-charges against the
Americans, brought by our Government :—The ma-
nifest partiality displayed upon all occasions towards
France—the open attempts to seduce British seamen
from their duty, and the refusal afterwards to give
them up--the fraudulent practice, tolerated, if not
encouraged by the Government, of giving certificates
of American Citizenship to British seamen, and then
claiming them as natural-born American subjects—
the permission, openly granted, to fit out privateers,
with French Commissions, in the harbours of Ame-
rica, and the refusal, at the same time, to admit Bri-
tish ships of war into American ports—the insults
that were studiously offered to our Ambassador, &c.
would, if the British Government had not been ac-
tuated by the most pacific sentiments, have produced
that rupture which the American Government seems
so eagerly to desire. The last act of unprovoked vio-
lence, unless speedily and amply atoned for, must
bring the question to a decisive issue.
A new case of privilege from arrest was lately on
the point of coming before the House of Lords. One
of the officers belonging 'to that House, whose duty
requires constant personal attendance there, had decn
arrested for a debt, the justness of which was disputed.
The defendant insisted on his exemption, which was
for some time denied; but upon notice of an applica-
tion to the House, the arrest was withdrawn.

It has been erroneously said, that by the resolution
of the House of Lords, the Berkeley Peerage indis-
putably devolves on the fir st son of the marriage in 1796.
That may be the ultimate effect of the decision; but in
the mean time the resolution cif the Committee of pri-
vileges goes no farther than to say,, that he has'mot
made good his claim. It is open to him yet to peti-
tion the House if he can adduce new proofs, or over.
throw the evillerice given against him ; and his bro-
ther, MARTON FITZHARDINGE, is only in his fifteenth
year, and cannot claim to be called to the House of
Peers till he shall have reached 21. .

The eldest son of the.alleged marriage in..] 785 is
put into this curious predicament. He was lqrced to
quit the House of Commons as being a Peer, and
not allowed to enter the Douse of Lords, as being a
Commoner. It has been intimated, that he may yet
petition the House of Commons to resume his seat,
as he was turned out on a talse pretence. •
On the 29th nit. a meeting took place in the. Cimp
Field, near Wexford, between Lieut. Tuiss, .the
Kerry Militia, and H. PAYNE, Esq.: the fornier at-
tended by Lieutenant Oksave, the latter by Ensign
MARTELL!. The parties having fired togethir by
signal, Mr. PAYNE received a blight wound in the
wrist; the eeeonds then interfered, and happily ef-
, fetted-a reconciliation.
