CONSOLIDATION OF THE CUSTOMS.

The CtIaNCILLOR of the EXCHEckyea obferved,
that as Tome Gentlemen intended to offer objedions
againft the Bill for the Confolidation tithe Cu'toms,
and wifhed to have Tome further time to confider the
Cube, he would move to poßpone the Committee on
that Bill until to-morrow. With refped to that plan,
he could only fay, from every oblervation he was
able to make, and from every contideration he could
give the fubje&, that it was one which he was bound
to adhere to. He hoped, however, that thofe Gen-
tlemen who difapproved of the plan, would find fuch
modifications introduced into it, as would completely
obviate their objedions ; and for that reafon, he
would move to poapone it until to-morrow. Ordered.
General Gescovita gave notice, that before the
Houle refolved itfelf into a Committee to-morrow,
be would move, that it be an inarudion to the Corn-
' mittee to provide that the Tonnage Duty he extend-
ed to Ireland, the fame as to England ; and alto to
make provifion, that no greater duty be levied on
goods imported into the out-ports of Great Britain,
than was levied on the fame goods when imported
into the port of London.
Mr. Darr faid, he rofe to a& a Tuition of Mini-
fiers, which he hoped it would not be confidered im-
proper in him to put. He withed to be informed,
whether they were in pofdllnn of any official infor-
mation relative to the entrance of the French troops
into the territories of Hanover

No anfwer was given to this quenion.
_ ISAMU. IN TKI MILITIA.

The SacasTARY at Was faid;tiai a great many
sten of the profeffion of Seamen were now ferviag as
privates in Militia Regiments; and as it was mach
better they Should be employed in the Navy where
their Cervices were more wanted, than carrying &c-
-locks, he meant to bring forward a meafure, by
which they Should be transferred from the one Ser-
vice into that which they were belt capable of per-
forming, As theft, however, had already entered
into the Militia, and taken the oaths, it was intended
that the transfer Should be nothing die than volun-
tary on their parts; and that they Should go into the
Navy only by their own content. There would be
Come difference between the Bill now meant to be in-
troduced, and a Similar one palled during the late
war. The prefeat Bill would not admit the transfer
of any but thole who were profeffional Seamen ; and
before they obtained their diicharge, they Should be
esannined by a Naval Officer, in order to have it af-
certained, whether they were of that defcription or
not. The Bill thonld alto provide, that the Sublii,
tote who entered the Militia in the room of the Sea-
-1 man fo transferred, Mould ferve out the whole time
other Subffitutesferved. He then moved, that leave
be given to bring in a Bill, for transferring to the
1 Royal Navy Such Seamen as were now (erring in the
Militia of Great Britain. Leave was given.
Mr. HARVEY obferved, that during the lad war,
many perfons took bounties to go into the Militia,
and afterwards got the bounty for going into the
Army. He would therefore aSk the Right Hon.
Gentleman, whether Seamen might not now do the
very fame thing?
The Sacaaraav at Wait replied, that there was a
Bill now in the Route of Lords. to which he es-
pelted the Royal Affent would be given in a day or
two; and by that Bill it was enaaed, that no Sea-
man Should be allowed to be enrolled in the Militia;
that every man enrolled Should take an oath that he
was not a Seaman ; and that if he was, his enrol-
ment murk be null and void. Had fuch a provition
been made before the embodying of the Militia, there
would be no oecafion for the Bill he then moved
for; and which only related to thole Seamen that had
already entered the Militia. But fuch a thing was
not to be done in future.

Mr. }laity's. thought there Would be fame mark to
let the Houfe know what a Seaman was.

The SICRITARY at WA& &aid, he conceived a Se
man to be a man who was bred up to the fea, or WA)
got his livelihood at tea,
The Summit' at WAR then brought op the BM,
wbich was read a fiat time, ordered to be printed,
aad read a fecond time on Afonday.—Adjotua'J•

General STUART is ordered with 3,10.) men from

Malta to Sicily, to protect that Diana againft the
attempts of the French. He will t tkz poll in the vi-
cinity of Meffina, in order to defend the narrow pats

of hleffina, and on the Northern Coatis of the land.
Accounts have been received by a reel arrived at
Hull from Hamburgh, that a body of French troops
took poffeffion of Bremen on the zd inaant. The
accounts add that another column was marching for
Hamburgh. The firft part of this intelligence will
probably be confirmed, but Proffia can hardly be
expelled to allow the French to take poffeflion of
Hamburgh. No accounts have been received this
day from the Continent to enable us to contradift or

confirm there flatements. We are convinced that
