On this head he had to obierve,
that he and his friends did not deal
in fiuecurts, and therefore this of

whit is the fact? The noble had
givui notice of hs motion fora
committee three weeks ago. One
of the gentlemen opposite had then
given notice of a motion for the
appointment of another committee,
and here the race began—and
ought it to be a matter of reproach
to In noble friend, that when he
was about to mount his horle, an
ot her honorablege.itleman thought

Ifi nad no confidence to vuthdiaw
from the noble lord, as he had gi

they had not heard one of the
speeches which he (lord C.) was in
the habit of making in private, at
thole drills, to which a chosen few
were admitted, to whom those rnea
fures were communicated, which
were afterwards to come before the
ho use. These persons were then
told, when any objectionable r.ica
fure was to h palled upon them—
“ that it might not be so pleasant as
could be wilhed,” but it was add
ed, “ if you do not vote for it, you
remove the government, and then
what will you do ?” This terrible
thre t had been held cut so long,
that it began to lose its efredt. It
might be seen from what occurred
with refpedt to the property tax,
that rniiiiiters would not very pre
cipitately give up th air places. He
would an!wer for it, the noble lord
opposite, provided the house would
let him, would be content to lit on
the treasury bench till the end of
time-—(a laugh) Whatever estab

houle, large or small ; array or no
army, he (lord Cafllereagh) and
his right honorable friend the chan

BRITISH PRESUMPTION.
The nglus of this country are a
gain infringed. At this moment,
and on theie waters, where there
could be rto real pretence of vviong,
on tlicle waters, so lately brightened
with the gloiies of Perry,is this
new outrage committed.
They dare to search our veflTels
on Lake Erie, for delerters ! what
right have they to do it ? there is
n.i treaty whieh permits them—
wouid rhey permit us the recipro
cal right oi searching their vcfiels
for out own defetrers r No—they
would declare war firft.
Well tlien—if not from treaty,
is it from ihe laws of nations? In
war, it gives them authority to
tcarch out (nips for contraband
goods, Ax. but they are not now
at war—-there is no blockaded port,
no contraband, no enemy’s goods.
Even in the famous declaration of
the Prince Regent, fie did not pre
ten he had a right to go on board
to Larch for his fubji Cts—but in
looking for contraband goods, he
fheuid chance to light upon his
seamen, he might tnen take them
They now, the?), go further in a
time of peace, than he a (Turned to
go in the fuat of war. They come
aboard our lhips while there can be
no contraband, and of course no
pretence to search for it.
The injury which is done us, is
as firagra.it as it is gross. The de
mand for reparation should be
prompt, energetic, and decisive.

To save trouble, and to have the

SUMMARY.
An artic-e from Rome, is rather
curious. It is understood, that the
Court of Portugal, has, by its en
voy at the Court of Rome., applied
for the legal fupprefiion of the holy
office of the inquifuion. The Ro
man Catholic devotion ot the Court
of Portugal has always been re
markable ; but if this intelligence
be true, it affords a strange con
trast to the conduct of the Spanish
monarch, who seems to confider
the detestable and impious offi e of
the Inquisition eifentlally necellary
to the lccurity ot the Throne and
the welfare ot his subjects.
BONAPARTE .
Capt Nichols touched St Helena
and learned from the boarding of
ficer of the government brig, Le
veret, that Bonaparte was in good
health, and principally engaged in
writing a history ot his own life —
The New Yoik Commercial Ad
vertiser lu(peels that Bonaparte is
rather maturing plans for his e
scape, as he was exactly thus “ en
gaged,” when he took French leave
of the island of Eiba. Alas ! he
was “ melioribus ohm aufpiciis.”
Lord Kinnaird , in 3 letter to the
earl of Liverpool, declares that
there are now m France nineteen
thousand prisoners for State of
fences ! This looks like a renewal
ot the horrors ot the Baltile. Has
the government lorgoftea the tenth
of August ?
In South America, the arms of
the patriots under Gen Boilivar,
have been signally victorious, and
the profpedts ot the friends of liber
ty in that region, are brighter than
ever.
The Pittsburg Mercury contains
a letter from Detroit, and a r.um
bei of affidavits, all proving the
fact that American vefl’ds on Lake
Erie have been Doarded and Search
ed by officers and men from an
armed British vtfiel, un. er pre
tc...e of looking for deserters.

A Harrisburgh paper states that
the British government has (even
armed vessels of different sizes, on
Lake rie, and are about to build

dollars per day, to work at the
frigate.
