The Duke of NIONTROSE took the opportuni.y of (tying a few words on the fuhjeEt. He exprelred his fatisfaftion at the meafure about to be adopted, for one reafon in particular, as it would tend to carry into praAice, on a more extenfive fcale, and effeflual manner, thofe fuggetlions which he had thrown nut on a former evening, on the general fubjeA of the Militia. Indeed, what he had fug gelled, proceeded upon general principles, as ap plying to the Militia Force, and would tend to fecure to the Country an efficient alliflance from that part of the Military Force of the Country, at a moment's notice. He wai additionally pleated at the propofed mealbre ; becaufe, coming at fo Ihort an interval after difembodying the Militia, at leall one half of the men who would be fo colleAed, would be Heady foldiers ; which, per haps, would not be the cafe in twelve months hence, when it might be found neceffary to pro. cure a great number of frefh men. By a fpeedy embodying of the Militia, 'he was confident, that at leaf a moiety of the men would be Heady, firm, and well difciplined Soldiers. The queflion was then put on the Addrefs, which was voted nonag.—aad afterwards ordered to be prefented to his Majeay, by the Lords with White Staves.

HISMAJ HITT'S intentions,declared in his meffage to Parliament, are every day carrying into effed, with a promptitude highly creditable to thofe en fruited with the admintftration of his affairs. Be fades the great naval equipments which have been ordered in all the ports, the conflitutional force of the country is immediately to be embodied.— Another Meffage from the KING was yeaerday prefented to Parliament, informing them, that his Majarry had rcfolved to call out a certain portion of his Militia Forces, of which determination both Mottles unanimoufly approved, and every other exertion is making to Phew the Government of France, that, however anxious we may be for the continuance of Peace, we difdain the notion of preferv:ng it at the high price of our national dignity and charader. Since his MAJ tyres Meffage was communicat ed to Parliament, Expreffes have followed each other, in quick fucceffion, from the French Am baffador to his Government. Three Couriers were dilpatched by him in the mirk of twenty-four 110111 s.

The three Minitters went to Downing•Qreet in their rcipeaire carriages, hut met at the Secretary of State's Oake, by accident, no doubt. The Militia liflablifhment of Ireland will be enlarged fo as to place a confiderable addition of caftive force at the difpofition of Government. Notice was yellerday evening given in the Houfe of Commons of the Minider's intention to move for leave to bring in a Bill to that effeft.

Lord Sr. VINCENT, with that attention to the comfort and happinefs of our gallant Tars, which has always difiinguifhed him, has given direflions that the orders for paying off (hips or veffeis in any of the portsfhall be executed, and that the men In paid off, (hall have a prote6lion to fccure dam from being preffizd for the fpace of fifteen days, to enable them to vi fit their refpcOive relations.

It was expeaed that it would have been immediately difcuffed, as its ratification by his Imperial Majefly and the Diet could experience no farther difficulties ; but it refults from the decla rationsoffeveral Minifters accredited with the Diet, that as they had not received inftritaions in regard to that important objeel, they could not yet vote: feline time therefore will elapfe before the 1 . 9/2ChfiiM is traniformcd into a fundamental law of tLe Eta• Circ. 0.. the other hand, the Miniftetis of Pruffia and Bavaria demand, that it (hall not be definitively decreed, until the Compenfation •laimed by th e Eleeloriof Bavaria, for the lofs of the Bifhopric of Eichlladt, !hall be determined.

NOTTINGHAM COMM ITT! —Wednefday another witnefs, examined before the Committee appointed to try the merits of the Petition of this Eleetion. was committed for prevarication. His name is Stephen Brookes. The Committee retired for near an hour; on their return into Court, the Chair man, Ifaac Hawkins Browne, Efq. thus addreffed the witnels "Stephen Brookes--4 am extremely concerned to have beta. (lon to deliver to you the very revere judgment of the Committee. The Committee have come to three Refolutlons, which I have' the painful talk of reading to you : the ftrft 1,, that you have h:en guilty of wilful prevarication in the evidence you have given before the Committee. The fecond, that you be imme. da•ely committed to the cult ody of the &desalt at Arms; and the third, that I be inftruded to move the Houfe of Commons, that you be lint to Newgate. as this is the fecond attempt of the Lane at e,rious nature which has been made in the cootie of this inquiry. You mutt confider, that there cannot be a greater , offence than that of wilful prevarication. When you are called upon to give evidence on oath...called upon pa annul to At. seion - r Goo for the truth of every word you fat, and that your everlailing Itatc in a future life, your happincfs or !offer?, depends upon the truth of u hat you declare, under In foltmn AM affeveration--it is of the greatelt importance to Society, ands• the decilions of Courts of Juflice, that the evidence given in them Ibould be true, free front aU hiss and partiality, and that It mould be cutififtent. The greatnils of the offence snakes it neectl.u7, when it is repea.eit, that the pdbiflament mould be as revere as that which I am ordered to move the Houfe of Com mons to inflict on you. I heartily hope that your punifttment will bring your mind to a knfe of your guilt. The Committee have gilfCll yuu every opportunity of explaining your evidence. We were ftrangers to the character of the perfon wffom we have committed, and fo with rtfpen to you. We ad purer' front what has palled firer you came into the box.

The Mefrenger of the Serjeant Arms ironic ; diately took the witntfs into cultody. Two othars were committed yefterday, whore eye-fight and memory could not at all agree. i The Committee on the Nottingham eleEtion pe titian were on ‘Vedneiday gratified, with a fight of the famous chair in which the popular Candidate was feated during hit triumphal proccflion.
