N. 4 PAL INTZLLIGENCE.

After Mr. YORKE made his motion last nighi to 1
erclude Strangers from the House of Commons, a ,
partial scene of confusion took place: Some persons•
in the front row of the Gallery, who were of course
:Imagers, rudely put en their hats and turned their
backs on the House, accompanying these gestures
with hissing : this conduct called forth some expres-
sions-of indignation from the Members present. But
this was not all ; for a short 'time after the Gallery
was cleared, a lond cry of ag Withdraw, withdraw 1"
was heard within-doors, and in a few minutes the
Duke of CUMBERLAND and Lord MULGRAVE were
seen coming out of the principal door of the House
into the Lobby. It was understood, therefore, that
I the order for the exclusion of strangers had been ex-
tended to them allo.

It is not expected that the measure of thus excluding
strangers from the proceedings in Parliament will be
of long continuance, as it is more likely to give cur-
rercy and credit to partial, and, perhaps, unfounded
statements of what is going on within doors, than to
tti•ve the objects which Mr. Yotticr. affects to have
in View.

The . following vessels are now cruizing on the
Cork station, under the orders of Admiral WHIT-
SHED, who arrived at Cork from this port, on Mon-
day se'nnight, in the HELENA sloop :—Dat:ln frigate,
Captain Sir 'WILLIAM BOLTON; EMERALD frigate,
Capt. MAITLAND ; JA LOUSE sloop, Capt. MORRIS;
ARGUS sloop, Capt. STUART; HELENA sloop, Capt.
Wotan ; Rnsora:TE and VIRAGO gun-brigs ; and
E.l-liL SPENCER cutter. The EMERALD, Damn, and
.I.lLousE, sailed from Cove on Saturday last, on se-
parate cruize. Several ineffectual attempts had
been made to weigh up the BRITANNIA, which i.
sunk in a very dangerous position in Cork harbour; the
REsot.url, a few days ago, in working out to givechace
to a privateer which appeared off the coast, ran foul
of the wreck, and received some damage, which
obliged her to put back to repair. The privateer
brig sent in by the •AmAzox, mentioned in my two
farmer letters, has been astonishingly successful; she
has been cruizing upwards of six years, and during
that time, has captured near 200 merchant vessels,
of different descriptions, no small number of which
belohged to British subjects. The AmAzoN-had
great difficulty in coming up with her, and was nine-
teen hours in chace. Another French brig privateer
arrived last night, captured off the Penmarks by the
NARCISSUS frigate, ll leagues from Ushant ; she had
taken five prizes, and sent them for France, during
her last cruize. The NEIMAN? has recaptured two
vessels in the Channel, which arrived here this day.
Three American vessels arrived this day, laden with
flour, timber, and other American produce; and
another, of the same description, made signal in the
ofFug for a pilot, about three hours since.
Arrived. the SeietoN, 80 guns, Rear-Admiral SToP-
FORD, from Basque Roads, which she left on Monday
last—Also arrived the CROCUS, 18 guns, from a cruize;
and the OntstF.s sloop of war, from a cruize off Scilly,
with a dock yard lighter, which was supposed to have,
been lost on her passage from Ireland. The crew of
the AclfiLLtt, 74 guns, Captain Sir RICHARD KING,
were this day paid six months wages in Cawsand Bay,
preparatory to the sailing of that ship for the French
coast.

Dtlfinz the Administration of Lord Nonni, the
friends o 1 that Minister conceived they were serving
his Lordship's interests by shutting the doors of the
House of Commons against the Reporters. Some Low
or other, however, the Newspapers were filled, as
usual, with Parliamentafy Debates ; and it was even

alledged, that they were furnished by the Members
themselves. Lord Nolan, at last, stepped across the
House one day to Mr. Fox, and said with great good
humour, " Really, Mr. Fox, since we have turned
Reporters ourselves, the speeches arc so clumsy,
there is so much misrepresentation, and. so much
14 nonsense, that we must open the Gallery door in
u our own defence."

testerday a Court of Directors was held at the
East India House, when Captain PETER CAM EROS
was sworn into the command of the ship Ann, con-
signed to Madras and Bengal.

Letters from Amsterdam, written on the very day
in which a popular tumult was said to have taken
place there, arc silent respecting any such event. We
may therefore consider the report as unfounded, or
the fact as having been greatly exaggerated.— A re-
port of an insurrection having also taken place at
Madrid is, probably, equally groundless. A letter
from Plymouth mentions the arrival there of a trawl
boat, with six Portuguese sailors on hoard, from
Oporto, who state, that they had effected their escape
in consequence of an insurrection having broken out
at that place. None of the particulars are mentioned.
This report is not credited.
. MEL—Saturday morning, Captain COVENEY, of
the West Kent Militia, and Lieutenant Alumni
' O'BRIAN, of the North York Militia, attended by their
seconds and a surgeon, met in the Mote Park, near
Maidstone, at halt past six o'clock in the morning, to I
decide IM Affair of honour. Mr. HILLSLEY, Constable
of the Corporation, having received intelligence of
their interitlun, very meritoriously exerted himself to
> prevent the fatal effects which might result. The
seconds graving fired the pistols by way of proving
theta, Mr. HILLSLEY was attracted by the report, to
the spot they had retired to, and arrived with his as-
sistants, at the instant the parties were taking their
distance. With some difficulty the peace officers got
possesion of the pistols, and took the parties into cus- ,
tody. They were taken before G. BURGESS, Esq.
the Mayor of Maidstone, and were bound in sureties
cf £2OO to keep the peace.
The elegant Marine Maiasion of Albion House,
Ramsgate, built by the late JAMES SIMMONS, Esq. and
sold by his Executors to the late Duke of PORTLAND,
was on Tuesday brought to the hammer, and with a
piece of garden ground at the back of Albion-place,
knocked down to Mrs. TOWNLEY for £3970.-I'he
price for Albion House was ig33001 for the garden
gronnd £670.
Thursday the Bleaching-ground belonging to Mr.
. BAiu of Garrat-lane, Wandsworth, WAS robbed of
StO pietes of tambric.
A Melancholy accident happened last Thursday
evening, near the Castle public house, Kent-road,
about seven o'clock : as an elderly woman, who gets
her living by bringing sand from Blackheath, to sell
about town, was returning from her customary
journey with her daughter, about 15 years of age,
the darkness of the evening having induced her to
leave her cart behind, and ride upon her horse, the
girl, contrary to the wish of her mother, walked by
her side is the road, when she was overtaken, and
thrown down by a Greenwich stage, and her head
so much hurt, that she expired in a few minutes.
About two in the morning of Wednesday last, a
most alarming fire broke out in the workshop of Mr.
RICHARD SHOOBRIDGE, builder, at Tenterden, which
burnt with great fury till the whole, together with
some adjoining stables, were entirely consumed,--
Great fears were entertained that many houses and
buildings in that part of the town would have shared
the same fate ; but by the prompt attendance of the
engine, and the exertions of the firemen and the in•
habitants, it was got under Without doing any fur-
ther damage. No estimate can at present be &reined
of the amount of the loss sustained, but it must
be very considerable; not is it conjectured by what
cause the calamity was occasioned. The rapi-
dity of the flames, aided by the combustible mate-
rials, was such, that nothing within the building
could be saved ;" and among the loss is to be added
that of the tools of the workmen in Mr. SHOOBRIDGeS
employ.

Five p. m.—A French transport brig, under cartel
colours, is now reported to be standing into the
Sound.—Arrived the Sisters' Providence, from Te-
neriffe for London, with barilla, &c. was captured the
13th ult. by the French lugger privateer Inspector,
of 6 guns, from St. Maloe'-, and recaptured the 19th
following by the Piii-AsAxr slOop. The Providence
fell in with a large French frigate, from Cherburgh,
deeply laden with a number of troops on board, for
Guad:tlotipe ; she took two seamen out of the Pro-
vidence.
