fubject between the two governments, is a point upon which the House, I am perfuaded, will not expect I should at prefent give any information; whether measures of precaution have been adopt. ed by his Majefty's Government for the purpose of preparing for any dangers that may affail us, (a loud cry of Hear! Hear!) is what the Houfe will not at prefent expect I fhould give any information of; but, Sir, I am perfectly prepared to ftate, that nothing has happened that can interfere with the force of the language which the Noble Lord at the head of the Foreign Department, (Lord Hawkesbury) has thought fit to ufe, or with the energy of the conduct he has thought to adopt; and that the illuftrious perfon now at Amiens has experienced no unforeseen obftacles in the execution of the truft committed to him.

Mr Grenville explained. He said that the obfervations he threw out were perfectly in order, being founded upon the Right Hon. Gentlman's motion.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer offered a few words in explanations; and the Houfe adjourned to Monday next. Monday, Jan. 4.

Mr Garthshore brought up two Petitions against opening the Distilleries.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer," Sir, on the last occafion when this houfe was affembled, I thought it my duty to propofe an Adjournment only for a fhort period. The confiderations which at that time operated upon my mind, are, to a certain degree, now in force, at least to a fufficient degree, to induce me to make nearly a fimilar propofition; at the fame time I have the fatisfaction to ftate, that the force of thefe circumftances is fo far diminished, as to convince me that it will not be neceffary for me to detail them to the Houfe, and I hope it never will be neceffary. I fhall therefore move to adjourn to Thursday fe'ennight, at which time I fhall probably have to move to adjourn to the period at which it was originally intended to propofe an adjournment for the Chriftmas holidays."--He concluded with moving that the House fhould, at its rifing, adjourn to Thursday fe'ennight.-Agreed to.

Thursday, Jan. 14th.

ADJOURNMENT. The Chancellor of the Exchequer rofe and fpoke to the following effect: "Sir, I am perfuaded, that the Houfe Ed. Mag. Jan. 1802.

will do me the juftice to admit, that it has been with confiderable anxiety and concern I have moved several adjournments, productive of great inconvenience to its Members. I am alfo perfuaded, that the Houfe will allow, I must have felt extreme difficulty and concern in withholding from it the motives of these fhort adjournments. Upon the feveral occafions on which I propofed them, I ftated, that there appeared to me to be fufficient grounds to warrant fuch proceeding, but I hoped I fhould not be called on to detail them. The Houfe did not call upon any explanation, and I am thankful to it for this mark of confidence, and for giving me credit for the motives. The House, I think, has exercised its accustomed wifdom and difcretion in not preffing for a difclofure of them. Under the circumftances which operated upon my mind at the time I propofed thefe adjournments, there appeared to me to be no alternative, as I faw nothing to juftify an oppofite conduct. Thefe circumftances are fince fo changed, that I have a doubt upon my mind how far they fhould now produce fimilar effects; but in my opin ion to doubt is to decide. I fhall always be anxious to have the advantage and affiftance of the wifdom and deliberations of this Houfe; but I am convinced that fuch a reference will not be neceffary upon the subject of these fhort adjournments. The bare poffibility, however, of fuch an event is, in my mind, sufficient to induce me to make the motion which I have prepared.-It is, that this House do, at its rifing, adjourn to Tuesday next. If, by that time, as I hope, my expectations fhall be realized, I mean on that day to move, according to my original intention, an adjournment to Thurfday the 28th inft. I now move you, Sir, that this House, at its rifing, fhall adjourn to Tuesday next.

Mr T. Jones (Denbigh)—“ Sir, I am fure no man who hears me can be more inclined to give confidence to the Right Hon. Gentleman than myfelf; but I cannot implicitly confide in him, becaufe I think it is the duty of a Member of Parliament to afk fomething more than mere general affertion, and to in quire into the cause of these frequent adjournments. This, I conceive, would have been my duty at any time, but I think it particularly fo under the circumftances

cumftances of the prefent motion, as the House was given to understand, when it met laft, that there would be no further caufe for another thort adjourn ment. I underftand, that frequent repetitions of this proceeding have excited great uneafinefs in the country. Be the motives therefore what they may, I think that a communication fhould be made to the Reprefentative Body upon the fubject. If an unfortunate event had not been over; but thank God it is over; I fhould not, perhaps, have felt it fo neceffary to ask for information; because, in common with many others, I thought that event was the caufe. There is also another circumftance which I muft beg leave to notice: by the last Paris Papers, I find fimilar adjournments have taken place in the Legislative Body of France. (Murmurs.)—I allow thefe adjournments in France are

ftated to be in confequence of the want of calmnefs and unity. That reafon, no doubt, cannot operate in this House, as here we have calmnefs and unity. But whatever may be the force of thefe obfervations, I do think that the country would be more fatisfied if the cause of thefe fhort adjournments were known; and that by withholding fuch information the reafon may be fuppofed more alarming than it really is. I may be wrong in my opinion; but I think I have only done my duty, as a Member of Parliament, in ftating it to the Houfe.

It was only in obedience to this fenfe of duty I have rifen; I had no other motive."

The Chancellor of the Exchequer's motion was then put and agreed to, without any further obfervation. Adjourned to Tuesday.

his vigilance, which certainly contributed, in a high degree, to the ultimate fuccefs of the enterprife. The value of the captured property taken by the

Honourable East India Company at Amboyna, dated the 6th July 1801, of which the following is an extract, has been received by the Court of Directors of the Eaft India Company, and communicated to the Right Hon. Lord Hobart, one of his Majefty's Principal Se

cretaries of State.

I do my felf the honour to congratulate your Lordship, in Council, on the important event of the Surrender of Ternate to the British Arms, which was delivered over, by Capitulation, to Colo nel Burr on the 21ft ultimo.

The Dutch Governor made a moft refolute refiftance, having defendedthe place with uncommon firmness for fiftytwo days, though, I am forry to add, at the expence of the poor inhabitants, who perished, by famine, from 10 to 20 a day, from our ftrong blockade by fea and land.

During this excellent difpofition of our military and marine forces, the latter, under the command of that gallant Officer Capt. Hages, the annual fupplies for the enemy were intercepted through

thousand dollars.

The difficulties the Honourable Company's forces by fea and land had to encounter on this arduous fervice, and the fpirit and intrepidity which they manifefted during a fiege of nearly two months, do them infinite credit, and have feldom or ever been exceeded in this part of the globe. The accounts we have received of the ftrength of Fort Orange, and its numerous detached batteries, proved exceedingly erroneous, in fo much that Colonel Burr declares the place to be extremely ftrong by nature, and moft excellently improved by art, with a powerful garrifon, and fo well provided with arms and ammunition, as to throw difficulties in the way of our force, which were as diftreffing as unexpected; they, however, perfevered, and kept their ground with fo much bravery and refolution as to compel the enemy to furrender their different ftrong holds, one after the other, until the principal fort and town were fo completely blockaded both by fea and land, and fo reduced by famine, as to make
