The Pale of the Eaft India Company's Sugars was
interrupted yefterday morning by a general requeft
from the Buyers for an adjournment, till the great
queftion of the difallowance of DR A rr !hall have been
determined. This requeft was refitted by the Chair.
man, Mr. ROBIRT THoaarom, who produced the
following Refolution, palled the preceding day by
the Court of Direetors, viz.
" The Court taking into confide:Won, that the delays, whirl',
at the Manatee of the • Buyers, have taken place in entering upon
the prefect Tea Sale, may be attended with +ay injurious &ca.,
by prerisurig a due drculadon of Tea ammenet the Country
Desks; and various either incanmeinices, as wdl Mods, to the
Company us the Public:
Ordered, That the Chef •Inan of the Sale, on raiday morn-
ing next, be lafirsaad not to poltpose the fame on any account
whatever"

This Refolotion. it was contended, did not advert
to the Sugar Sale, but had only reference to the ad-
journed Tea Sale. to be held this morning. The
Chairman, however, kept bis ground firmly, and in-
filled that it left him without any difcretionary
power. After a long converfatioro, in which Mr.
Kim's, took a confiderable (hare, the (Ale proceed-
ed ; the bidding. being confined ;o Mr. THORNTON,
Clerk to Mr. MARTYR, of the Baggage. Department.
The bone of the prefent contention is the dircon-
tinuance by the revenue of one pound weight draft
in every hundred, or wl.at is called the Turn,' which
alteration of the anal mode has been filed by a po-
fitive Ad of Parliament. _ _

The bidding: being only at xos. 6d. for goods
marked 6os. in the catalogue, the fele was at length
adjourned till Monday neat, when the privilege (agars
will be put up.

A pamphlet, purporting to be an Anfwer to the
celebrated Treatife of General LLOYD, " On the De-
fence of Great Britain," has been pnbliffied at Paris
by General Gaosasar, an officer who formerly
(erred in La Vendee. In this anfwer he attempts to
prove, but in Inch a manner as to fbew his complete
ignorance of all maritime affairs, that the French
can effett a defcent, notwithilanding every oppoli-
tion on the part of the Britifh Navy/ When there,
every thing, in the French General's opinion, is
fmooth, and Cafe, and certain. Ten days, he lays,
would do the bunnefs. Sixty thonfand men are to
come over in fix hundred tranfports, or one hundred
and ninety pontoons. They are to bring bread enough
for ten days, becaufe we might lay wane the coun-
try to London. He propores to land between Mar-
gate and Beachy Head, whilß a fleet of gun boats
with pieces of large calibre are to fail up the 'Thames.
He calculates that the pairage would occupy two
days ;—that the landing would take up three more ;
and that in five days afterwards, the French would
be in London. He fuggells the propriety of leaving
twenty thoufand men to befiege.Dover and Tilbury
Forts, and to keep the communication open. Thirty
thonfand would, he lays, be fufficient to march to,
and talcs the capital. In the fondnefs of this French
General for his plan. he totally omits one thing. He
has entirely forgotten that we have any military force,
and his plan does not contain the lean provifion 'salon
refinance or defeat on !bore. This reminds as of an
author who wrote a piece which he entitled Tla Th
row eatissitml The manager to whom he bored it
returned for an anfwer' that it was delightfully writ-
ten, much battle, and a finely contrived plot, but
that unfortunately he had made a flight omiffion--
He had forgotten to introdaw any Heroine into the
Piece.
