Th re ' were 14 large waggons, fully laden. ' We speak from the bed authority when we fay, that the residence of the Prince of ! Orange and his family in this conntry, will t be no expence whatever to this nation ; his fmene highness having remitted very large furns of money from Holland fully adequate " to his exigencies. " The apartments in Hampton Court Pa c lace will be ready for the Prince of Orange in the course of the next week. Lord South b am pton\ apartments in thai; palace are to be added to those which this illullrious family are to occupy ; but this will be no inconvenience f to his lordship, as he never went there. 1 The equipments determined upon by go vernment for the current year, will encreaf ' j our marine to 120 fail of the line, and one hundrad and thirty thousand seamen, includ ing marines. e On Thursday morning at day break, the t Grand Fleet under the command of Earl 3 j Howe failed from St. Helens, with a fine j breeze of wind at N.

Mr. Smithies, the rev. Mr Twining, and the rev. Mr. Proffer, opposed the petition ; and the arguments which those i gentlemen adduced were so convincing, that 1 out of 141 persons, who were prefeut, ioj voted against the petition. It is much to be ' wished, that if any meetings of luch a na- 1 | ture are held, they might be condu&ed with . I the fairnefs and good order, which prevailed j at Colcheller.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, in consequence of a notice he had given' relative thereto, moved that the house (hould errter into a committee of the 1 whole house 011 Monday next, to con- 1 fiider of the mot speedy and effectual meat's for augmerting the navy. He said, he did not then intend to enter into any reason ing on the expedi ency of the measures to be proposed, but le thought it proper to state the < propositions which he (hould then make :— ' Fir/}. That notice be given to. thtf merchants "and trarters of the _ditt , 'ereni ports in Great-Britain, that no (hip(hall be permitted toclear outwards fiom any port in this kingdom, without having contributed a certain fpecific proportion of seamen for manning the navy, and producing a certificate thereof signed hy 1 the proper officer. rHe said, the mean time be should be happy to inform himfelf, from any merchants or other persons, who were capable of giving information, relative to any other mode of more effectually cncreafing the number of seamen. Secondly, As he considered, that there were a great number of watermen in the interna] navigations of the country, wiio may be very advantageously employed in a (hip, he (hauld propose, that the owners of vefiels in that trade should al so fu i u ilh apt oport io nof t heir wat e 1 men, and, Thirdly and Injlly, He (hould pro - | pose, that as it was allowed hy all, that there may be incorporated into each ship, a large proportion of land/men. there should be a general call through out the kingdom, in all the counties, . to furnifh a fufficient number, accord ing to the exigencies of the cafe : he said, that the magistrates and the jus tices of the peace (hould be obliged to represent the number of inhabited hou ses, which are not exempt from taxes, and that each pan(h (hould be obliged I contribute so many persons, accord ing to the number ef such houses there in ; these contributions to be madefub je<ft to a fine, which being greater than , the probable bounty necelfary to raise < men, would have the good effect to 1 make them enter voluntarily into the service of their countir. Mr. Pitt allowed that these were [ < | strong measures, but under the pre lent i ; circumstances, he contended they were 1 perfectly juftifiable. ' j Mr. Grey expressed his conri&ion that every member ef that house would concur in such measures; as they must meet their cordial and sincere wishes for 1 the immediate augmentation of the Bri- 1 tifh navy ; but he hoped that the mer chants, if they (pared a proportion of 1 their men, would in the molt effedtual manner possible be ptotefted in tfieir trade, which was so excellent a nursery for seamen. Mr. Grey said further, that the custom which had taken place of impveflivjr apprentices, was and UiijUliitidLiii, ..nu co<ciui.e ■ ing, tiiat the recruitii g pa lies different fei-port towns, who r large bounties for Jandfmjn, were par ticularly injurious to the fuccefsful aug mentation of the navy, as young men were pleased with a large sum ot money ■ and a hne cockade. i Mr. Jekyll wished to know what no ! tice was to be given -to the merchants who were ts the proportion of seamen. Mr. Pitt said, that' the requisition was not to extend to any (hips thsit (hou!d clcar out before the palling cft!»; ad; but it was to apply to all thole which cleaied out alter ; that com mittee wcic only to t'onfider thc-muft speedy mode ot laying an tmbatg-,., and (he bell mode ot an augmentation in general. The motion then pafied nem. con. NEW MOTION FOR PEACE. Mr. Grey laid, that the event of hit late 'motion wts, in every refpedt, so unfaiisfa&oiy to hißifelt and the public in general, and the amendment propnf ed andcanied by a Right Won. Gen tleman, was so ill calculated to convince the public mind as to the real objetfti and grounds of the continuation ot the war, that he would at an early peiiod biing forward a motion of a hrciiar na ture with the former, which would bind miniflers to a more explicit declaration of the real and unequivocal motives tor prosecuting it.
