LONDON, May 12. YESTERDAY, in the House of Commons, a meflage was received from tlie Lords, that they will proceed further on the trial of Warren Hastings, Esq. on Toefday next. Mr. Secretary Grenville moved that an account of the number of vellels and their tonnage em ployed in the Southern Whale Fishery be laid be fore the house. • Mr. Fox wished that an account m'ight be added of the trade to Nootka Sound. Mr. Grtnville said, he had applied to the per sons engaged ifi that trade, from whom such in formation us he could obtain Ibould be laid before the house. ' Mr. Fox and Mr. Sheridan said, it was extreme ly nccell'ary to have as coirett an account of this as could be obtained—and also to be informed ■whether any fectlcment, and of what nature,was forming, or intended to be formed 011 the coast. Mr. Grenville said, he was not yet prepared to give any information oil either I'ubjett. The report of the Committee of Supply was brought up, anil 1 he resolutions' being read, /lir.. Fp*- said, he u'uderftood the geuei al intent of the vote of credit .10 l?fc, to provide for the un certain expences that mult neceiurily be inenr ed, ftiould the hopes us the country be disappoint ed, and Spain refufe an amicable accommodation. Hut he had heard that orders far ah augmentation of the forces by feu and land were already ill'ued. If this was true, he saw 110 reason why the elim inates of tliefe augmentations might not be refer ed to a Committee of Supply—a committee of "Ways and Means voted the money necetfary im mediately—and made provision for paying the interest of it. No maxim in finance could bet ru er, than that the means of paying any expence iliuuld go hand in hand with the expence itfelf. There was 110 end to the mifchtefs arising from fpcliding money one year, and providing for the payment the ntxt. The public also lhoiild know a: once the extent of any expence, as nearly as possible, in order to judge of the expediency of it. The House, therefore, had a right to be in formed why a vote of credit, without an eflimarc had been p.eferred to the other mode. The Chancellor of the Exchequer laid, to have vo ted estimates in Committee of Supply would have implied," that the augmentation of the F6l - was 10 be kept up for the whole year—and money mull; have been boirowed, and taxes im paled to pay the interest, before it was known certainty that either would be wanted. Al tUo i: was ti ue that augmentations were already ordered, these augmentations might nor be com- another—and if the hopes of an fcrriitbble accori- ] tnedation Ihoald be disappointed, provision might j be made Iqr the additionalexpence, which would then becotne neceiiiiry, by as early an application to Parliament as public convenience woiild admit. Mr. Fox said, lie ncvertneant to nU'ertthat esti mates voted under the bare apprehension of war would be fufticieitt, if war fhotild actually ensue, but that the augmentations already ordered tnjght have been voted and provided for in the regular way. 'The Chancellor of thi Exchequer said, that would have been to continue, for a whole year, aug mentations, which, in the event of an amicable accommodation, might not be wanted for so long a time, or mightnot even be all made. The refutations were agreed to. The House resolved into a committee, and the Chancellor 1 of the Exchequer, after Hating thea lnount of the claims given in by the American Loyalids, the amo:r,u allowed by the Commillion ers, and the sams already paid, moved That the film of 22/\,odo\. be granted for further payments —and t The sum of ;;,oooi. to make good the lodes fqftained by cer.ain persons, inhabitants of the United States of.America. Some of these, he said, had (attained very hea ■ vy loffj-s by a conduct that entitled them to the nyunlikentc of f his coumry—and it was found, oil enquiry, taatttae res Ton why they had not ap plied in per Jon for conipenfation, v, 4 g, that their lofles bad dcpi i . ed thtrni of the of leaving America.' < These were rhe loaons formoney lie -meant now to make—bin hegave notice, that, on Thurs day next, lie should propose a compenfatjon in tliie way of perpetual annuity to the Penn family, /•.vliofe lofles were eftiinated by the Comniiflioners at 500.0001. andalfo for some other claims not yet provided for. The resolutions were agreed to. He then moved a mode of conipenfation for frtch pcvl'ms as fnftainrd lc'i'esby supplying the army or the navy u ith itores Or provisions, &c. For i nch us fufiVred by loflcs of income ai ifing from office.". These resolUtions were also agreed to. Mr. SKiriJa;: fai-J, lie had :i motion to make, which he knew not whether he had worded pro perly.; but the purport of it was, to'obtain in formation whether the trade to Nooika Sound, and the fettle merit forming, or intended to be formed there, was undertaken under the fauui- on ami authority of Government, or merely as an enter prize of private perlfons. The Chancellor of thf Exchequer wished the mo tion to be portponed till the information promis ed in his MajeftVs anl'wer to the Address could belaid before the House. Licerifes to trade to Nootka Sound had been granted ; and he knew of 110 authority for tfeat, or any other purpose, J l)iit such as those liceMes contained. .ilr.'&heriJ.i/! laid, what the house had now heard, that the fettlcment was a private enter* prize, was very material. The Chancellor of the Exchequer said, whether the fettlcment was or was not a private enterprize, there could be no d.nbt that it was incumbent on the honor of the country to demand fatisfadioii for any insult or injury offered to its fubjedts, whether in their pri ate capacity of traders, or acting under the more immediate famftion of go vernment. Air. Sherid in said, if the Right Hon. Gentleman meant to insinuate that he did not think i he coun try bound in hdi; Jt *v protect every futjedl from insult or injury .. M 6 put a conihuiiiion on his Words which they w*tlls not bear. The motion was poUponed.

NEIVTORK, AUGUST 4, On Monday the . 2th ult. there was a violent | rempeft at Leomihfter, Maflachufetts, attended with hail w"hich wm of fucli a size, and fell with such velocity, that the stoutest Indian corn was beaten into ftired*—vaft quantities of apples were beaten from tHe tOes —not only the fruit but •te trees received great injury, the bark be ing broken from their limbs ; the windows brok en in the hotifes, and the fences received such , impreflions, as to Jie discovered at 90 yards dis tance. Many of the hail (tones were as large as liens common size was a little more than an inch in diameter. Twenty four hours aftei it fell, of it were mcal'ured at the foot of a hill, and found to be 26 inches deep. The Saturday following great datnag# was done by hail at Shrewibury, county of Worcester. Of all the curfei that can befal a fi;ee_people, therein none perhaps greater, tfran to be hood winked and led blind-fold. bjr. demagogues and State Empirics. ' ' Demagogues will cry up an appeal to the peo ple, but then it is only when they have previous ly poisoned their understandings—when the people are left to the natural freedom of their own minds, they difcovcr and despise the ravings of the faiftious. A pragmatical orator told a great man at Atjftris, that whenever the people were in their rage, they would certainly tear him to pieces ; yes, ftys the other, and they will do the fame to you whenever they are in their wits. It is ill arguing from particulars to generals^ 552 EXTRACTS. and therefore the character of a country fliocid not be drawn from the samples exhibited by yij divicfuals ; especially when it is coniidcred that whim and vanity fend many abroad. FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UHIT ED STjtTF,$. It may bea profitable I'ubject of enquiry, what i are the principal causes which produce the fub veriion of free governments—luxury, ambition and avarice, are undoubtedly the three great lead ing principles ; but the operation of ih'.-fe, pears in an almolt infinite variety of fornis. F.co nomy is a darling virtue in a republic—thii finen leadsto impatience under the necellary expence-, delay* and procrallinations of popular afleiublicj and the people, from controlling the tardu.clt of public measures under the direction of a nume rous body, with the prompt and rapid move ments of an energetic executive, are gradually led to depreciate the former, and unduly to e(ii mate the latter ; theconlequence is juiily to l;e dfeaded ; for when the public confidence and rc fpeift, is transformed from one particular branch of the government, and centers in another, a preponderation of influence necefiarily takes place, which commonly proves paramount to the barriers of freedom. How far the/e'reflec tions will apply to the pre fen t situation of ai'« fairs, is left to the profound, penetrating, sagaci ous, jealqus politicians of the day. One very obvious reflection obtrudes itfelf, and that is,thac it isofinfinire importance that all the branches of the government should harmonize as much, as polfible j for an indignity offered to one,ftr&cS ' at the vital exiften'ce o{all three.
