HORTON, lo the Proprietor of Dr. JOHNSON'S VEGETABLE ESSENCE. " SIR, Stafford, November 15, 1808. SOME Years before your most useful Syrup, called Vegetable Essence, was made known as a public medicine, I was very much afflicted with the Scurvy, and eruptions on my back, breast, and face, which were very troublesome and disagreeable,— By taking about five bottles of your Essence. § ( which I was induced to use, because I was convinced it was composed of Vegetable Materials only, having employed a medical fiiend to examine its properties) I found myself perfectly cured, and free from Scurvy. The eruptions on my face aud body disappeared, and my skin be- came perfectly clear. It took off tlie itching, gave perfect ease to iny feet, which were threatened with the gout, ( it being a family complaint) and relieved the drowsiness with which I had been affected for a length of time. My nights became comfortable, iny sleep refreshing, and my health and spirits were folly restored.— Though several years have elaps- ed, I have had scarcely any return of the complaint, altho' a very free liver. Whenever any eruption has since appeared, one or two bottles 1 always found sufficient to set me right again. I am, Sir, your obliged, & c." § The materials are now made up into a packet. One packet is equal to five bottle s. The wholesale venders of the Essence are BARCLAY and SONS, 95, Fleet market, London ; to whom retail venders are requested to make early application.— It may be pro- cured genuine, price 15s. with clear and explicit directions, of EDDOWES, Morris, Palin, and Newling, Shrewsbury; Miller, MadeleyMarket- place; Houlstons, Wellington; Smith, Iron Bridge; Silvester, Newport; Wright, Evanson, Whit- church ; Baugh, Crosse.

BEAUTY AND ELEGANCE. BUTLER'S CELEBRATED RESTORATIVE TOOTH POWDER. BEAUTY of Countenance and Regularity of Features, are allowed to distinguish the British Fair; but the Proprietor of BUTLER's TOOTH POWDER would beg leave to remind his Countrywomen that the lustre of their charms loses half its influence where the Teeth are dis- coloured, or shew a rotten and unhealthy appearance; this is totally inexcusable, as the present preparation affords the infallible means of removing every blemish of the enamel, and is safe in its application, being composed of vegetables. It is mora recommended to the attention of all ranks, as clearing away every imperfection, either in the colour or the decay of the enatnel of the Teeth ; as rendering the breath sweet and delectable, and making the gums of their proper shape and vcrinillion hue; and a certain preventive against the Tooth- acli.— No composition of this kind ever brought forward to public notice, has met such universal approbation ; and the Proprietor has to boast that it is in daily use by Royalty itself.

FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE. ADMIRALTY- OFFICE, MAY 1, Extract of a letter from Captain Woitli, of the Helena sloop, transmitted by Admiral Whitshead. I have to acquaint you, that his Majesty's sloop un^ er my command gave chace to a sail seen at daylight, which continued until nine o'clock at night; then, after firing a few guns, she surrendered, and proved to be the brig Grand Napoleon, of Nantz ; sbe sailed from thence on the 13th lilt, manned with 124 men, armed with 16 guns, viz. 12 18- pound carrouades ( English), aud four long guns. Sbe Is the most completely appointed French eraizer I bave ever seen; is 2S0 tons, anil three months old. [ Transmitted by Adm. D'Auvergne, Prince of Bouillon.]! SIR, Surly, Grentitle Buy, April 21. I have the honour to inform you, ibat yesterday at noon, a sail was seen fiom the deck, steering along tbe enemy's coast; we immediately slipped in chase, in company with his Majesty's gun- brigs Firm aud Shatpsbooter ; at lour P. M. she run on shore in the mouth of Pirou ; the boats, manned and armed, were sent in to bring her out, which was gallantly done by Sub- Lieut. Ilodgkins, who commanded the boats, he having run an auchor out, under ( i heavy tire of musketry J from the troops and cew ot tbe vessel, aaJ bore heroff Iran the beach. She proves to be I'Alcide French cutter privateer, mounted four 4 pounders, which were thrown over- board in the chace ; and from the number of men who went from her with muskets, & e. I conclude her ctew to be 30. I beg leave to recommend to vour notice Sub- Lieutenant Hodgkins, of the Firm ; and Mr. Lagaw, second master of the Sharpshooter, for their steady perseverance and determin- ed conduct in bringing her out from off the Beach, under such a heavy fire of musketry, front upwards of 400 troops. 1 am sorry to add, that we had one nun kilted and one wounded in this affair. I hive, Sec. R. WELSH, Lieut, and Com. WEDNESDAY, MAY 2. Two cartel brigs, with English prisoners of war, women and children, arrived at Plymouth on Sunday evening, from Morlaix. They repeat what the Public Prints have informed us, that great and confident ex- pectations of Peace with this country were entertained throughout France, and that the situation of our countrymen was much ameliorated in conscquence. Mr. Dickenson, who accompanied Mr. Mackeneie to Morlaix. returned in one of the above brigs, and is most probably the hearer of some new proposition on the part of the French Government. Mr. Dickenson is very soon to return to Morlaix, to rejoin Mr. Mackenzie. The letters from Hol'and favour these reports, and even go so far as to state that the French armies will be withdrawn from the maritime provinces of Spain, as a pledge of the pacific views of Napoleon. Austria, it continues to be stated, is the mediator between France and England. All that can be gathered from the French papers, bearing a political feature, is, that great events are likely to take place on the return of the King of Naples ( Joachim) to his territories. The King of Sicily, it is said, is about to seek an asylum in England. From Spain there is no news in the Paris Journals. Yesterday morning an American gentleman of dis- tinction reached town from Paris, which place he left a few days ago. Previous to his departure, he had au interview with General Armstrong, who iufoimed him, he had obtained passports from the French Govern- ment to enable him to return lo America with his family, for which purpose he had purchased a seques- tered American vessel, named the Sally, Scott, which was to take him on board at Havre, some time between that period and the first of June. He, however, begged it might be perfectly understood, that, although his diplomatic functions had terminated, it was not to be considered as conclusive of a rupture between France and America, as he was to be succeeded in his official character by Mi. Beckwith Livingstone, who might bti speedily expected. The Royal Humane Society has now existed upwards of 36 years, and we are happy to find, notwithstanding the irreparable loss it sustained in the death of its late worthy Founder and Treasurer Dr. Hawes, that it still maintains its rank among the very first public Charities. Lord Erskine presided at the Anniversary Dinner held ou Wednesday at the City of London Tavern, with his usual affability. On his health being given, his Lord- ship returned thanks iu a most eloquent and feeling speech s in which he observed, that, if he had any merit to distinguish him fioin among the inhabitants of this great City, it was his attachment to the liberty we enjoy under the wholesome and salutary laws on which our excellent Constitution is founded— raised by tbe perseverance of our ancestors, and confirmed by the persevering exertions of our Countrymen, down to the present moment. A Constitution, on the principles of which our Saviour came into the world ; principles by which we are taught to love, aud do good to one another. His Lordship expatiated with great effect on the peculiar merits of the Royal Humans Society.— The Honorary Medal of the Society was presented by the noble Chairman, in an appropriate address, to Mr. Heathcock, of Hampstead, for recovering, after au hour's perseverance, a line girl, of three years old, who had been 20 minutes apparently dead; aud another Medallion to Mr. Clarke, of Blackfriars- road, for re- cently recovering the life of a young man. Yesterday, al one o'clock, Mr. Sheriff Wood, ac compauied by Mr Byng, oue of the Members for the Counly of Middlesex, went to the Tower, to pieseut to Sir Francis Burdettthe late Resolutions and Address of the Freeholders of Middlesex. Tbe procession was attended by a vast concourse of people, and cheered, as it passed along, by repeated shouts of " Burdett and the Constitution I" The negociation for Mr. Canning's re- admission to a seat in tbe Cabinet, is said to have terminated iu- edectually. Last Sunday night, Hampton- house, Plymouth, the seat of Vice- Admiral Sir E. Pellew, Bart, was broken open, and robbed of about jfSOO's worth of plate; among which was an elegant silver salver, value 100 guineas, presented to him by the Patriotic Fund at Lloyd's, in compliment to his taking the La Cleopatra, 44, by La Nymphs, 36, iu the year 1791. The villains got clear off with it through the garden- gate. They left the empty plate- rhest in the garden, and all the articles that were plated on the grass plat. They were scientific rogues, and were very deliberate in the exe » cation ' of their plan, as they lighted a wjx- iight, and ieft it extinguished. They drew two hangers, which they left unsheathed in the lobby. . A reijiarkable phenomenon is mentioned in the French papers to have occurred on the 17 th of Janu- ary, oil the mountains in the department of Plaisance, where some red snow fell at the moment when thunder was heard. The snow that afterwards fell was white and red intermixed. A French chemist has applied this phenomenon to the explanation of tile ancient stories of a rain of blood, which he supposes lo have been red snow; but we do not understand that be is able to account for the fall of this red snow. A considerable degree of popular displeasure has been expressed against the Life Guards, in consequence of their conduct during the late disturbances. Oil Saturday, as one of them was passing through Pimlico, he was siluted by a volley of coarse compliments, uttered by a son of Erin, dubbed a Knight of the Hod. The soldier, who was jealous of honour, and quick in quarrel, being galled by the attack, resolved to open his battery upon the enemy, and a close engagement eusued. Poor I'at possessed the heart of a lion, but unfortunately his physical powers were inadequate to sustain the violent charges of his athletic adversary, and, after receiving three or four knock down blow*, he was compelled to quit the field. In order to cover his retreat, and convince the spectators his courage was not vanquished, he exclaimed,." By J s! I am after being off now, because my beer hour is up. If I could stop new, only a minute or two, on my shoul I would give the big blackguard the dandy of a threshing " British Navy.— Its disposition up to this day, is as follows:— At Sea— Ships of the Line, 91 s Fifties, & c. 14, Frigates, 124 ; Sloops, e" i£ C. 109; Bombs, & c. 0 » Brins, 139; Cutters, 24 5 Schooners, & c. 70 ; Total 576 ; in Commission, 833; Grand Total, including those building, raj. rairiog, & c. 1113, LONDON. FRIDAY, MAY 4. Common Hall.— Yesterday an unusually numerous meeting ofthe Livery of London was Mil at Guildhall, '' to consider the late alarming assumption of power of the House of Commons, in imprisoning British subjects for offences cognizable by courts of law.'— The Lord Mayor, after reading the requisition, recommended that every gentleman who might address them, what- ever his opinions were, should have a fair and impartial hearing.— Mr. FAVELL Opened the business in a speech of considerable animation, and concluded with propos- ing a string of Resolutions, ihe substance of which will be found in the petition to the House of Commons. Mr. WAITHMAN, in the absence of Mr. Jones, who was unable to attend, seconded the Resolutions; and entered into a historical view of the original institution of parliaments, which Mas lo protect the people in their properties, their liberties, and their lives ; and he contended that if the present House of Commons had attended to the redress of public grievances; if it looked to the conduct of his Majesty's ministers ; if it did justice upon the heads of public defaulters, it need not be so apprehensive of the dignity of its character, nor so jealous of investigation. He advised them to persevere soberly and temperately, but firmly and manfully, in the pursuit of Parliamentary Reform, which was the only means of saving them from a military despotism'. He referred them to the Acquittal of Lord Melville, of Lord Castlereagh and Mr. Pe'rceval, the refusal to receive petitions on the disgraceful Con- vention of Cintra, the pensioning of Mr. Yorke, who shut the gallery against the public, and who had been appointed to a high and responsible situation after being rejected by his constituents. Mr. W. concluded, with exhorting them to beware of the expedients lhat would be resorted to to disunite them, and defeat their Constitutional object.— When Ihe Resolutions were carried, Mr. Q. uiV came forward, and after a few observations, moved the following Petition. " To the Hon. the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled. " The humble Address. Remonstrance, and Petition of the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Livery of the City of London, in Common Hall assembled, this 4th day of May, 1810. " WE, the lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Livery of the Cltv of London, in Common Hail assembled, beg leave, with feelings of Ihe tnost anxious concern, to present this our humble Address, Petition, and Remonstrance, and we ear- nestly entreat your Hon House to give it a favourable reception ; for how can we hope for redress and relief, ii the bare statement of the wrongs and grievances of which we complain, be rejected ? We also beg your Hon. House to believe, that iu the language we mav have occasion, and are, indeed, compelled to employ, no offence is intended to your Hon House. " The circumstance wh'ch most deeply afflicts us, and which most strongly impels us, at this time, to approach your Hon. House is, what appears to us to have been, on your part, a violation of the personal security of the people of the tand. We humbly conceive, lhat without law, and against law, you have imprisoned two of your fellow- subjects, aud ( hat, without trial; without a hearing, you have con- demned them. Law requires legal process and trial by jury of cur equals. Justice demands that no person shall be Prosecutor, Juror, Judge, aud Executioner, in his own cause. We beg leave to express our conviction that this eternal principle of immutable justice cannot be annulled by any House ot Commons— by any King— by any Parliament— by any legislature upon earth. But it appears to us, that your Hon. House bave, in the instances of Mr. J G. Joues aud Sir E. Buidett, assumed, accumulated, and exercised all these OfflCfF. " We. feel it a duty which we owe. to you, to oii'srlves, to our posterity, to state, that in our conception, this jurisdic- tion is unfounded, and we humbly, but firmly, declare our opinion against the existence of this power in anv hands— a jurisdiction unknown to us, a power above the law, and which could be enforced only by military violence, a violence made manifest by the breaking open of an Englishman's castle, and by the preceding and subsequtut murder of peacable and unoffending citizens. " Permit us humbly to observe, that the construction of your Hon. House prevents our surprise at this conduct of your Hon. House. We will not enter into the details, so often and so ablv stated to your Hon. House, hy which it appears, that upwards of 300 Members of your Hon. House, in England and Wales only, are not elected by the People, in any honest sense of the word People, but are sent to your Hon. Housefly the absolute nomination or poyccifnl influence of about 150 Peers and others, as averred in a Petition to your Hon. House, in tbe year 1193, and which remains on your Journals uncontrovertcd. This is the great Constitu tional disease of our Country. This is the true root of all evils, corruptions, and oppressions, under which we labour. It it be not eradicated, the Nation must perish. " In support of this our sincere Conviction, we need only refer to the never to- be- forgotten Vote of your Hon. House refusing to examine evidence on a charge against Lord Cast leicagh and Mr. S Perceval, then two of the King's Ministers, for traflickine in seats in your Hon. House. " We ii member well, that when it was gravely averred and proof ofieied, in a Petition which stood on your Journals, aud the complaints thereof unredressed for mure than 20 years, ' That scats for Legislation in the House of Commons were as notoriously tented and bought as the standings foi cattle « t n fair,' the then Hon. House treated the assertion with affected indignation, aid the Minister threatened to punish the Petitioners for presenting a scandalous andl. btl- lotis Petition. But we bave lived to see a House of Commons avow the traffic, and scieeii those accused of this breach of law and light, because ii has been equally committed by all parties, and was a practice 1 as notorious as ihe sun at noon day '— At this vote, and at these practices, we feel as 4 our ancestois would bave felt,' and cannot repress the expression of, ' our indignation' and disgust. " Under these circumstances, may we nol be permitted to ask, where is your justice, wheie your dignity ? Mr. J. G Jones is confiueo Within the walls of Newgate, for an alledged offence against yourselves, which, if committed against any other subjects of these realms, or even against the King himself, must have been adjudged by the established rules and laws of the laud. Loid Castlereagh continued to be a principal Minister of the Crown, and is now a free Member of your Hon. House. Sir F. Burdelt, diagged by a military force freni tbe bosom of his family, is committed to ihe Tower, for exercising the right of constitutional discussion, common, and, indeed, undeniable, to you, to us, to oil ! Mr. S. Perceval continues a Member of your Hon. House, taking a lead in youv deliberations, the fust Minister ofthe Crown, and chief adviser of the Royal Councils! " Under the agonizing feelings excited by the late im- prisonment of our fellow. subjects, can it be necessary for tis to recapitulate the many instances, as tlm » appears to us, of refusals. to institute just and necessary enquiry, to pursue to aondigu punishment public delinquents anil peculators, to economize the means and rcsomces ol the State, to adminis- ter to the people relief and redress for the various disgraces which the national honour has sustained, for the lavish pro- fusion of British blood and ticasure, extravagantly wasted in ill- contrived uud fruitless campaigns, aftd more particularly in the humiliating ami ig uomiuious Expedition to the Coast of Holland, in which the greatest armament lhat ever left our shores was exposed to the scorn, contempt, aixl ridicule of tiie enemy, tbe fiouer of out youth wastetuilv and wantonly left, ingloriously to perish in the pestilential tuaishes ol WaWhcren, without succour ! without necessity ! without object! without hope ! " These ai. d similar proceedings of your Hon House re- quite no comment, but we capnot, by o r silence, bicouie accomplices in the ruin of otir Country, and dare not conceal from you the u Mesuine, though unpleasant, truth, that they apniar to us to have materia, Iv shaken what remained of the confidence of ttie suujects of these realms iu the wisdom ot your lion. House. " We, therefore, humbly, but firmly entreat you to reconsider your conduct, to retrace your hteps, aud to ex- punge fioiii lour Jouri aU all your oi. lers, detiarations, and resolutions, ie p c'ufg Mr. J. G. Jones and Sir F. Buidett; and thai, as bit le. Burdt t bus not bten expelled fiom your Hon. House, he be >, o longer prevented irom txe. cising therein all the out. es of a Member of the same. " Above all, « e earnestly pray your Hon. House, in con- junction with Sir F. Buideit, and in conformity to the notice he has given, tuiivrM aud adopt such measures as will cffec. an immediate and ludical Keturm in the Commons IIou.- e ol Parliament, mid ensure to the People a lull, fair, and sub staiitial Representation, without much they mu- t iutvit.., bly cease'to exist as a great, a free, a glorious, and independent' nation." Mr. QUIN moved that the Petition be signed by two Alderman and ten of the Livery, and be presented to the House of Commons by tiie Representatives of the City, arid that they should he ordered to support it.— This mbtion was carried.— Air. Waithman moved the Thanks ofthe Common Hall to Mr. Alderman Combe, the only one of their Representatives entitled to that honour.— Mr. Alderman Combe returned thanks, and pledged himself to support the petition.— Sir W. Curtis, Sir C. Price, and Sir J. Shaw, amidst loud marks of disapprobation, declared that, however they might dis- approve of the petition, they felt themselves bound, in obedience to their constituents, to present it.— Thanks were then voted to the Lord Mayor, and to the, Sheriffs.— Mr. Sheriff Wood declared his intention of again going in state, lo present the resolutions of the meeting to Sir F. Burdett iu the Tower.— Mr. Sheriff Atkins could not agree with his worthy colleague in that intention, and so shewing the same respect to a private individual as he did to his Sovereign. As usual, Ihe different speakers were received in a maimer Which gave each to understand the sentiments of the meeting upon his conduct— those who were approved were loudly applauded, and those who were disapproved Were more loudly hooted. The minority at this meeting, alleclging that they could not obtain a fair hearing, agreed upon a private meeting in the evening, at the London Tavern, to protest against the Resolutions of the Common Hall; but their intention having become known to the oppo- site party, Mr. Waithman, accompanied by a large number of friends, repaired thither, and demanded that the doors should be opened to the Livery at large. Considerable tumult prevailed. Mr. Waithman after some time obtained a hearing, but was interrupted by Mr. Kemble, who thought he had not a right to attend there, as he was unfriendly to the purpose of the meet- ing. Mr. Waithman insisted it did not appear from the printed nolice, lhat it was called for any definite purpose, it was called generally; and to think of a clandestine decision was an aggravated insult upon their fellow- citizens. He was about to propose some Resolutions to the Meeting, but the Chairman, ( Aid. Chr. Smith) expressed his determination to put none proposed by Mr. Wailhman: who then moved the meeting lhat Mr. Smith do leave the chair, and that Mr. Nicholson be requested to take it; which was carried. Mr; Waithman then proposed his resolutions — that the calling of this private meeting was highly improper, and deserving tiie reprobation of the Livery — that the resolutions and petition of the Common Hall are highly approved— and that Aid. Chr. Smith has acted this day in a partial and improper manner, and is not entitled to the confidence of his tellow citizens.— The Protesters, it is understood, retired into an adjoining room, and agreed to certain Resolutions; to wliich they affixed their names. The circumstances attending these meetings are said to have roused some of the more respectable part of the Livery to protest against the proceedings. A Counter- declaration or Petition, has already been pro- posed, and signed by upwards of 500 most respectable, wealt y, and independent Liverymen. It is impossible to say what number of names may be subscribed on Monday and Tuesday .; but if we mav judge from the zeal which has already been manifested, it will most probably receive the signatures ot several thousands betore it is presented to the House of Commons. The promoters of this measure have determined on a dinner on the 22d inst. which is to be splendidly conducted by 100 Stewards, chosen from among the Liverymen. The Counter- petition is deposited for signatures at the Old London Tavern ; and every gentleman affixing ins signature, puts down his place of residence, auii the name of the Company of which he is a member. A splendid car is building for the reception of Sir Francis Burdett, who, it seems, is to ascend this tri- umphal vehicle at the gale ot the Tower, ou ihe day of his deliverance, which will be that of course on which Parliament is prorogued. The Mayor of Liverpool has declined complying with a requisition, signed by 09 persons, to call a meeting of the inhabitants respecting the confining of Sir F. Burdett. Mr. G. Villiers continues in so disordered a state ot mind, that no information has yet been received from him respecting his extraordinary expediture ot so large a sum of the public money, ilis effects are not likely to produce much more than a third of his official debt.

Capt. lrby, had fallen in with a French frigate of the largest class, near the coast of France, and, after a severe, well- contested, and bloody action, ( both frigates being dismasted), the Amelia succeeded ui capturing t . e l rench frigate.— The prize, il is added, was left in tow of the Christian Vllth. 74, Sir J. S. Yorke. This morning a Gotteuburgh mail arrived, with letters and papers to the 1st inst. Notwithstanding the apparent impediments to trade from public regulations, tiie Swedes manifest the best disposition lo maintain their commerce with this country. Some anxiety is expressed in the letters, lest any hostile attempt should be made hy the powerful tlee sent to the Baltic, which will render it impossible to preserve an amicable inter- course with Great Britain. Accounts by the Gottenburgh mails, received yester- day, inform us of the failure of au attempt to bring about a fresh revolution in Sweden, for tiie purpose oi placing ou the throne the son of the unfortunate Gus- tavus. A report lias been in circulation, that an embargo has been imposed on shipping iu Dunkirk. There is information by a gentleman who lelt Ostend on the 2Slh or 29th ult. and further intelligence from Calais to the 30th last month, and trom neither of these sources do we learn that any such embargo had been directed. We presume, therefore, that the statement is incorrect it is satisfactory to observe, thai not- withstanding the repeated filing we have heaid ou the Freucfa coast, the latest accounts detail no operations materially favourable to the eneiny. Accounts from Vienna, of the 31st of March, stale, that tl'. e Russians have thrown bridges across the Danube, and formed a junction with the Servians near l'aleiica. A sloop of war has arrived from the Meditcirauean, but the letters by this opportunity, assisted as we are by the French and Dutch papers, leave affairs in the south of Spain in. a situation of obscurity. Whether Malaga be evacuated, oi whether Ihe vicinity of Cadiz be yet molested by tile invaders, are matters of im- portance, regarding which we have no satisfactory assurances. The French, however, are resuming more activity m the Nor b cl Spain, from whence we nave a letter this morning, after a long silence, of which the following is an extract i— ' Coruuna, Apill. Ojon and Oviido are again in the hands o! tiie enemy, who is overrunning the province ot A turins. The Ft tnc h ate also continuing the siege of Astoiga, but with very few troops. The uccuuuts from tbe interior are tavnuiciUle." Bonaparte will allow the licences granted to be signed hy none of his iVIintstets, . iiis autograph is the three first letters of his fiaaie ( N ir.) lie receives the applications witl much ilj humour, and signs bat few. He is now preptring to leave Paris for Antwetp ; and, it is understood, that until his return all petitions for licences will renniri unanswered. His hostditv to trade is shewn by his peevishness and irritation, whenever his attention is. drawn to the subject, which his Ministers never presume t> do, excepting in cases of imperious necessity. French papers to the 29th ult. state, that on the 6th of April, a | ierson was apprehended at the Castle of Valancey, calling himself Charles Leopold B iron de Kolli, assuming the character of Minister from his Britannic Majestr to Ferdinand VII, He had intro- duced himself to the latter with various documents, supposed to be from tbe English Government, and w ith a proposal for the escape of the Spanish Monarch, for whom a squadron was stated to be in waiting in ( iuiberon Bay. Ferdinand himself was the informer ; and Biron de Kolli remained in close confinement in the Castle of Vincennes for further examination. The French Papers further state, that the Spanish Princes had been giving entertainments in honour of the Emperor's marriage ; and they contain a copy of a letter from Ferdinand VII. in which he earnestly solicits the honour of being adopted by Bonaparte as his son ! The letter of Ferdinand VII. and the examination of Baron de Koll'l, respecting his attempt to effect the escape of that Prince from Fiance, are docilmefits of considerable length, and appear to us to prove, that France is hear ily sick of the war in Spain, and that the proceedings which are given in the French papers are preliminary to some new arrangements which may eventually lead lo a new order of things in Spain, if not to peace. " Compeigne, April 27.— Their Majesties left Com- peigne at seven o'clock this morning, on their way to St. Quintin. To- morrow they will continue their jour- ney as far as Cauibrai, proceeding along the Canal, which is finished. On the 29th, they will reach the Castle of Lackin, and on the 30th arrive at Antwerp. HOUSE OF COMMONS— THURSDAY, MAY 3. Mr, BRAND fixed the 21st inst. for bringing forward his motion on Parliamentary Reform. MIDDLESEX FETITIOX. Mr. RARHAM said he felt great satisfaction that tbe debate oil this question had been adjourned, as the House would be less liable to the imputation of their decision being adopted with toil much precipitancy. With regard to the privilege of petitioning, it was impossible that anv man could exist w- th stronger wishes to throw wide the doors of that House to Petitions than himself, but that under consideration was n ot a Petition, but a Protest; it was not an application, but a menace. He could not conceive that there was any other view in this Petition but to try how far they nvght insult the House with impunity ; and there could b » no doubt but that those who signed it were fully aware of its tendency, ami knew very weil that it would have answered the purpose better, if couched in more moderate language ; but ihe very- words of tbe Petition displayed their object, and, in his con- ception, nothing was more dangerous than when it was repre- sented to the people that that House vras maintaining jts Privileges against their Rights. He considered the movers of this Petition as the tools and dupes of a party, who, when they hail answered their purposes would sweep them away li^ e chaff before the wind, lie. However, attributed much of t'is intemperate language to the conduct of Ministers, who had j first shewn the example, who had deprecated public virtue or spirit, amused them with mock enquiries, anil the like.— Upon the whole, he thought this Petition should be rejected and that it should lie accompanied with some resolution of the House, expressing its sense of it; and concluded hy moving that this House vyas always ready to receive Petitions com plaining of grievances and prayiilg redress ; but could not, under the name of a Pefilion, receive that which was, in fact, a Protest agaiust the'proceedings of that House, & e."— Mr. GRENFELL seconded the motion. He did not think it viias the disposition of the Country in general to degrade lhat House ; nor did he fear tlie effects of the Meetings in Palace- yard or at Hackney half so much as he dreaded the Board of Tax Commissi uieis.— Mr. WARD thought it would be quite incon- sistent to receive the Westminster Petition, and reject this, as the cases were analogous.— Mr. Diindas, Sir J. Anstruther, Mr. W. Smith, Mr Wilberforce, Mr. Ellison, Col Wood, Mr. Stephen, Mr. Mellisb, and Admiral Harvey, objected to its being received, on the Krdimd of the language in which it was wotded being indecorous and insulting to tbe House. It was not wished to deprive the people of their right of petitioning , but, by the rejection of tliis, to give them an opportunity of presenting another, ill such language as would enable- the House to take it into consideration with honour to itself, aud advantage to the Petitioners.— Mr. PONSONBV said, the right of the people to petition was one ot all otheis the House ought to suppoft; and if it was possible to construe the present Peti- tion in any other way than a direct offence against thatHouse, itounht to be received.— Mr. Wardle, Mr. M. Fitzgerald, Mr. Morris, Lord A. Hamilton, and Mr. Byug, warmly sup- ported the Petition : and upon a division it was rejected by 139 against 58.— Majority 81. FRIDAY— MAY 4. Mr flL'SBAS wishi d to know if it was intended to adopt any plan for remedying the grievances under which the people in the country laboured, from tbe oppressive manner in which tne Assessed Taxes were . collected ? — Mr. PERCEVAL said, lie intended shortly to bring in a Bill, which he hoped would re- move all complaints on that subject. Sir S. ROMILLY moved for a return of fhe number of persons committed to gaol in the years 1805, 6, 7, 8, and 9, specify- ing the nature of their olfeuces, how many for stealing in dwelling- houses, how' many iu shops, how many on persons, & c. and how many were acquitted ofthe Capital part of Ihe charge. His object was, to renew, early in the next session, a measure, of which fie deplored the , miscarriage in the present, upon which he did not think the sense of parliament had been sufficiently expressed : the bill had been lost by a majority of two only, and of those who voted, several had expressed only doubts of its efficacy.— The motion was agreed to.— Sir Samuel then gave notice that he would on Monday make a motion relative to the transportation of convicts to New South Waies. Mr. HUSKISSOS moved for a return of the number and tonnage of transports employed in ttie public service, the expenses of which amounted in the last year to ihe sum of ,£. 3,000,000sterling. Agreed to— Mr. CREEVEY, pursuant to notice, moved for papers relating to the late mutiny and rebellion in the Madras army, 8cc. which, after some discus- sion, were ordered. Mr. PERCEVAL ( in a Committee to consider the King's message for a provision for the Duke of Brunswick) moved thai the sum of .£ 7000 per annum be grunted out of the sur- plus of the Consolidated Fund, as a provision tor bis Serene Highness,— Lord Milton} Mr. H Martin, Sir J. Newport, and otheis, thought the grant should be made out ofthe Droits of Admiralty, whiih were at the disposal of his Majesty.— The motion was agreed to. The privately stealing in shops bill was read a third time, and passed. anxious the English are for peace, and how much they feel the want of it, by thasudden and extraordinary rise of their funds, upon the first intelligence of an exchange of prisoners. They never ro3e higher even in time of peace." Sir Francis TlurdctCs Letters to Mr. Sheriff Wood\ and Ihe Freeholders of . Middle " Tower, 1810.

" It is extremely gratifying to me, gentlemen, tinder these circumstances, to renew my infercourse with a county, so renowned for its many noble, though ineffectual struggles; sometimes indeed successful, never, I trust, altogether una- vailing in the same cause— resistance to arbitrary power; which, however it mav be disguised, or from whatever quarter it mav come, is equally to be feaied, and to be guarded against.

In following the conduct and example of the city of Westminster, the great Metropolitan county of Middlesex has pointed out to the country at large a safe and ready way of arriving, by a simple expression of its will, at that Reform good men have long sighed for; but which, perhaps, they never, until now, clearly discerned, a quiet, easy, and peaceable method of obtaining, *' 1 remain, Gentlemen, " Your most obedient humble Servant, " FRANCIS BURDETr."

About 45 years ago' he used to attend the Royal Exchange, mounted Upon a beau- tiful charger, with o servant, who held the horse during the time that his master transacted business.

At our Town Sessions, on Friday last, Moses Mott was ordered lo be imprisoned seven days, andj passed to his settlement. Cnta Pox.— Some resolutions entered into by the medical practitioners in the county of Glocester, on this subject, will be found in last page— The inhabit- ants of Uley, in that county, in order to prevent the introduction of Small Pox into the village, ordered in March last a gratuitous Vaccination of the poor of that parish, by the resident surgeon. It will be seen by an advertisement in a subsequent column, that Mr. Stanton and his veterans have com- menced a Theatrical campaign at NewporL A very fine Statue of his Majesty has been lately erected in the centre of Portland- square, Bristol, in commemoration of his having attaiued the 50th year of his reign on the 26th of October, 1809. At a Convocation holilen at Oxford ou Wednesday, the degree of Doctor in Civil I. aw, by diploma, was conferred on his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, and it was directed to be presented to his Rojal High- ness hy the Chancellor in the name of the University. Pouiton and Victoria, that won the two classes of the Oatlauds at Newmarket, were trained at Iledgeford, Staffordshire, by Thomas Carr, aud won by him. Carr won near 7 OOgs. by the two races, and the proprietor i of the horses, Lord Oxford, won upwards oi 80o0gs. Mary Lewis was yesterday committed to the H • i..> of Correction for six weeks', for refusing to fulfil h - contract with Mr. Burd, of Westbury,' having hired hersef to serve him for a year, aed to enter on her service at a stated period. We hope this example will operate as a caution to servants, the practice having become so general that they considei themselves justi- fied, after having made their contract with masters, in returning their earnest money at. an. time previous to entering oil their service, which is contrary to law. The Rev. John Hughes, Vicar of Eglwysfacb, has been instituted by the Lord Bishop of St. Asa ih, to the Rectory of Llysfacn, vacated by the Rev.' Hugh Thomas, collated to the Rectory of Penegos.— The Kev- Parry, Curate of Llanbrjnnair, ia the county of Monlgomery, is presented to the Vicarage of Eglwysfach. Shakespear's birth- day was lately Celebrated at West Felton, in this county, by a select party of literary friends, who intend annually holding it convivial. A Mulberry tree, and a Walnut were planted by the party . in the grounds of John Dovaston, Esq. near the Great Cedar which stands westward i. f the house. The wal- nut was two years old, and wis taken up, without disturbing the smallest root m a large ball of earth, and carried by the party on a barrow: under it in the hole was placed a wiue- bottle; with an ap propriate inscription deeply cut on it with a diamond. The day was particu- larly fine, and after dinner the party adjourned to the shade of a large spreading tree, where toasts were drank to the health of the living, and the memory of the dead poets, and the conversation interspersed with select passages from our immortal Bard. At Chesier Assizes, Thomas Done, a flatmati, of Uuncorn, for the murder of B. Eckersley, of Lvmm ; John Kinsey aud David Rigby, for croft robbing; Henry Richardson, for burglary'and robbery, and VVui. Birch, for stealing two pigs, received sentence of death. — On Wednesday, Done was executed at the drop at the New Gaol, iu Chester. He was resigned, and a devout penitent. On Wednesday morning, together with his mother and sister, he received the sacrament. He con- fessed himself guilty of tying the unfortunate victim in a sack ( she was thrown into the canal) ; and acknow- ledged himself guilty of almost every other crime, but strenuously denied the sin of murder. In a letter which is published, from Lord Erskine lo Mr. Sheridan, on the subject of the resolution of the Bench of Lincoln's Inn, which made against the liberty of the press, his Lordship uses the following emph i- tical argument.—" I have always considered the re- traction of errors in public men, acting sincerely; but without due consideration, lo be not only no humilia- tion, but the highest and most grateful illustration of talents and virtue; yet in nothing is the world more perpetually suffering, than from the general blindness of mankind to this obvious truth. We see not merely individuals exposed to the greatest calamities, but eveii nations undone and ruined, to cover a niisbke in tha most difficult and complicated policy of ihe Stale,"' The congregation at Battersea church were seriously alarmed on Sunday se'nnight by a noise of an unconi moil nature. The preacher was stopped in the midst of his discourse, and the people ran away in all direc- tions— supposing the church was falling down! at length it was discovered that the breaking tiie spring of Lie clock had produced the alarm. The clergyman re- sumed his discourse, but his congregation went to dinner. At the last Norfolk County Sessions, held at Norwich — Edward Stubbing, of VVymondham, was indicted for uttering seditious words at a public- house in Wymond- ham, iu the company of several persons, some of them militia- men, aud others, inhabitants of WymonUham. The words were, that " he wished Bonaparte would, come, he ( Stubbing) would be the first man lo join him ; that Bonaparte was a better man to his couutry than King George is to this." The words were clearly proved by two Serjeants in the West Norfolk Militia* and no defence was set up in explanation of the words used. Mr. Storks urged every popular topic with great energy and feeling oil the side of the prosecution, but, to the surprise of the whole Court, tne Jury returned a verdict " not guilty." Qualifications for the LoSal Militia.— By tho a- mended Local Militia act ( 50th Geo. III. cap. 25, sect. 10; the qualifications of Captains, Lieutenants, and Ensigns, are to be of the same yearly value, if real estate, or of the same amount in value if personal estate, as the qualifications of Captains, Lieutenants, and Ensigns, respectively, in the regular militia, for cities aud towns being counties of themselves, viz. For a Captain, an estate ofthe yearly value of 1501. or per- sonal property to the amount in the whole of 25001. for a Lieutenant, an estate of the yearly value of 301. or personal property to the amount in the whole of 750l. and for an Ensign, an estate of the yearly value of 201. or personal property to the amount in the whole of 4001. Admiral Berkeley, who for many years has repre- sented the county of Glocester, hats vacated his seat by the acceptation of the Cliiltern Hundreds. Iu his address to his Constituents, he slates, that his profes- sional services occupy so much of his time, that he is incapable of paying that attention to his duties in the Senate which the state of public affairs requires. He recommends Lord Dursley, eldest son of Earl Berkeley, as his successor.— Sir Edwin Bayntun Sandys, Bart, of Miserden Castle, has likewise declared himself a candi- date. The election is fixed for the ISth iust. From a eflculation lately made, of tl; e Juppofctl amount of the Income Tax, uprti which three- pjitce in the pound is allowed for the collection thereof, it appears that ratio will amount to the enormous sum of one hundred and thirty seven thousand five hundred pounds, for that tax alone, a very considerable part of which is collected in the districts of London and Westminster. Aitliei .— A few nights ago an assistant in the shop of a druggist, in Bristol, putting up over his head a large bottle of icther, spilt it upon his clothes; aud, being alarmed, called out to his companion, who, not aware, of the danger, came with a caudle in his hand, to see what vyas the matter, when the vapour caught fire, and, in an instant, he was enveloped in tlames. In this situation lie ran into the street, where a gentleman wrapped his greatcoat round him, and smothered the Haines, but he was considerably scorohiJ in his face, neck, and hands. MARKET HERALD.

Practitioners , have lately Monday, Saturday, Saturday, Friday, COW POX. A numerous body of the Medical resident in Glocester, Cheltenham, dvc published an Address to their brethren on this very interesting subject, which, from its importance to the community at large, deserves the serious attention of lite medical world : we are therefore induced to give il all the publicity in our power. " We whose names are hereunto subscribed, beg leave earnestly to address our brethren in the county of Glocester, on a subject that is equally connected • with the reputation of our profession and the safely of the community. The subjoined Resolutions are de- claratory of our sentiments, and of the means that we think should be adopted to give them effect. We are convinced of their utility ana propriety ; and we trust that Ihev will soon be admitted and acted upon by every medical man. It is deemed perfectly unnecessary to make any remarks upon Ihe evidence on which they are founded. Luckily for mankind, the efficacy of Cow- Pox has been ascertained by the severest tests; and Ihe prejudices and misconceptions which prevail against it, only require to be dissipated to secure its universal adoption. While we, in common with the majority and most respectable of our brethren in every part of the world, rest confident in this belief, we nevertheless think that much may be done to accelerate a triumph which we all anticipate, by promoting the scheme now proposed. It is not brought forward to draw the unthinking, or unwary, into a measure wliich their more mature deliberation may condemn. None are called upon to support it, who have not fully ex- amined the evidence in its favour; and none ought to support it, who enterlainthe slightest doubts respecting the conclusions to which that evidence leads. More than sufficient facts have been accumulated to enable every competent judge to come to a decision. Every conscientious man is bound to come to a decision— the Public have a right lo demand it,— and we think it ihould no longer be withheld. " In submitting the present plan to the members of our profession in this county, we joyfully look forward to consequences of the most beneficial nature. The combined aud unequivocal testimony of those who have longest known the advantages of Vaccination, who have • natched its progress with the most anxious care, and who, from their ' ocal situation, have been constant witnesses of the caution, the skill, and the- talei'ts evinced by the illustrious individual who first gave it to the world, must have the effect of removing the fatal errors which have lately induced misguided persons to send many of their feilow- creatures lo an untimely grave, by the wilful aud wanton propagation of a most pestili rt'ial and dangerous disease. It is right tl) at we should be foremost in an attempt of this kind — that we should set an example, which, we trust, will be followed by every district in the kingdom— that we should mark our high sense of the value of the disco- very to which this county has given birth, by cordially and collectively promoting it 011 all occasions, anil principally by determining to check, by every possible means, the ravages of that dislemper which it is now in our power to extirpate entirely. " It only remains for 11s to illustrate our plan, by adding the following Resolutions, founded as they are on the highest sense of public utility and professional duly. RESOI. VED,— 1. That \ yc see with regret the pre judices hostile to Vaccination which exist in this neigh- bourhood — II. That the honour of our profession, and the reputation of this county, require thai every possible means should be employed lo dispel them.— III. That those gentlemen who are satisfied of the eflicacy of Vaccinatum, be requested to unite with 11s in forming a Society to be called, " THE GLOCF. S- TERSH1RE VACCINE ASSOCIATION."— IV. That the objects of this Association shall be, to promote Cow- Pox and discourage Small- Pox Inoculation.— V. That, with this intention, the Members of this Associ- ation shall individnally and collectively declare, that they, considering their knowledge of Cow- Pox, do not believe themselves entitled either to practise, or, in any way whatever, to sanction, tho use of Small- Pox Inoculation+ , and that henceforth they renounce it accordingly." • f- I nlets in a case of EXTREME necessity, for example, the Smal- Pox breaking out allien; persons who have never had that disease, where no Vaccine matter ran be obtained.

June 2 AFTER TERM. Tuesdav, . . . June 5 | Wednesday, . . June 6 Revolutions.— Revolutions once begun, seldom ter- minate where the projectors of them intend— Sweden seems unhappily destined to afford fresh examples of this political truth. New conspiracies already exist, and fresh convulsions appear to be in preparation in that country. The following particulars are given in a private letter from Stockholm, dated April 12:—" The Diet was going to be closed as next week, but a con- spiracy has been detected, and it is believed that this will prolong the Diet for some time. A private De- putation was sent to the Crown Prince ( formerly Prince of Augustenberg), requesting him to declare whether he intended to marry, and thereby procure an heir to Sweden. His answer is said to have been in the negative. This perplexed a great many of the ring- leaders of the late revolution, whose whole care is to prevent the son of Gustavus Adolphus ever corning to the Throne, since their personal security, nay, even their heads, would probably, in that case, be at stake. Several, 1 venture to say the greatest number of true honest Swedes, still feel for Gustavus's son. The day before yesterday, one of the present King's confidential friends'received an anonymous letter, stating that a revolution was near at hand; that several noblemen and the Russian Ambassador were at the head of it. A secret inquiry was made by the Lord Governor of Stockholm, and il was ascertained that the plan was to declare the son of Gustavus King of Sweden, at the demise of the present King. Jacob, Count De La Gardie, the third nobleman in rank in Sweden, has escaped ; and notwithstanding every search has been made, he is not yet found. He is said to be the planner of this revolution." Defalcations.— The Fifth Report of the Committee of Finance, appointed by the House of Commons, contains farther particulars of the enormous defalcation in the accounts of Mr. Viiliers, late Paymaster of his Majesty's Marine Forces. The deficiency amounts to £ 264,507, for which an extent has issued, but his property is not more than £ 113,000. It is a most lamentable detail. We are firmly persuaded, that the adoption and enforcement of a new system can alone save us from ruin. Let the heads of departments be made responsible, in property and in person, that is, by fine and imprisonment, for the conduct and integrity of those under them. They will then cause those under them to do their duty, and to return correct accounts. All deficiencies will be reported before they can amount to any considerable sum ; and thus, while the means of indemnity lo the Public, from the property of the defaulter, will be increased, the chances of loss, on the deficiency of assets will be diminished. This principle of responsibility, diffused throughout our whole system, can alone iusure the public purse and the pubiic service. The following account shews the Dates of Mr. Villiers' Accounts, the time when they were received and passed, and the balance upon each j of common sparrows, while their young ones are in the nest, destroy on an average above three thousand cater- pillars every week ! At this rate, if all the species of small birds were to be extirpated, what would then become of the crops! Agricultural Report for April. — The weather, through nearly the whole of last month, lias been favourable to the farmer, by enabling bim to get in his seed upon the tender soils that were somewhat saturated by the heavy rains in March. The loams have worked well, and have the most promising ap- pearance, which generally precedes a good crop.— The young wheats are tillowing in the most prolific manner, and promise to make reparation for injury done by the slug and the frost. The Spring sown is forming a strong plant on those lands that worked kindly ; the crop iu general has greatly improved since the begin- ning of March.— The barley, owing lo the genial and timely showers, comes up regularly, in consequence of which we may expect a fulljand even crop.— Oats upon lays, from the same cause are very promising. Murder of Lieut. Johnson.— It will be recollected, that some time since Lieut. Johnson was found mur- dered iu the Kent- road, near the Five Bells, nnd that several persons were, by the vigilance of Collingbourn and Goff, apprehended, but sufficient proof not appear- ing to justify their detention, they were discharged. Collingbourn on Tuesday received information that a woman, named Maitland, who resides in a court near Warren- lane, Woolwich, had been heard to say, in a quarrel which arose between her and her husband, " You villain, you know you made me drive on whilst you and Smith got out of the cart and murdered poor Lieut.

Morrison, a young man, who lost his life in consequence of a stab given him by a Portuguese sailor. It ap- peared in evidence, that the Portuguese ( whose name is Anthony Silva), had, on Suuday evening, a dispute witn some person or persons unknown, and retired to manner, his ship, which lies on the Quay, aid armed himself 1 "" with a dagger, with which he sallied out to be revenged on the persons with whom he had previously quar- relled t with th s weapon he first attacked a man named Campbell, but, finding this was not the man he wauted, he relinquished him, and afterwards met with the de- ceased, in company with two other persons, at the door of a public- house; one or two other Portuguese were in company, an assault w as commenced by them upon the deceased and his companions, one of whom received two or three sU'lis with the same weapon, and also a severe blow on the head with a stick. Just at this moment the deceased received the fatal thrust, which entered a Utile beloiv his left breast, and almost instantly expired — The oilier two Portuguese arc also in custody, ami were, with the principal culprit, next i day committed to Carrickfergns Gaol. They have both given evidence before the coroner against Silva, who, it appears certain, was the actual murderer. It is not positively ascertained whether the deceased, or either of his companions, were any of the persons with whom the Portuguese had previously quarrelled, nor what was the occasion of the dispute. The verdict of the jury was, " That the deceased came by bis death in consequence of a slab be received in the left breast, in a scuffle with J. Mores, A. Silva, and J. Ferrenadare."

Apt Molto for a Cannon Ball.— In the church of Ampthill, in Bedfordshire, is a monument of Robert Nicholls, of Ampthill Park, Governor of Long- Island, who, being iu a tendauce on the Duke of York, was slain on board liis Royal Righness's ship in 1672. A cannon ball, said to be that which caused his death, is fixed in the marble within the pediment; and on the moulding is this inscription:— Instrumeiitum mortis et immortalitatis." Mode of Hunting the Hyaena in Barbary.— The mode of hunting this animal is singular ; a party of ten or twelve persons, accompanied with as many dogs of various kinds, go to the cavern which they have pre- viously ascertained to be the haunt of the hyaena ; one of the party then strips himself naked, and taking the end of a rope with a noose to it in one hand, he advan- ces gradually into the cave, speaking gently, and in an insinuating tone of voice, pretending to fascinate the hyama by words; when he reaches the animal, he strokes him down the back, which appears to soothe him s he then dexterously slips the noose round his neck, and instantly pulling the rope, to indicate to those on the outside of the cave, who hold the other end, that it is fixed, he retires behind, throwing a hand- kerchief or cloth over the eyes of the liya- na; the men then pull the rope from without, whilst he who fixes the noose urges the animal forward, when the dogs attack him. Some of the Shel'ubs ( natives of the South . Atlas) are very expert at securing the hyaena in this and although there may be some danger in case the rope breaks, yet the man who enters the cave always carries a dagger, or large knife with him, with which he has considerably the advantage, for this animal is by no means so ferocious as he appears to be; in the Southern Atlas 1 have seen them led about by the boys; a rope being fastened round the animal's neck, and a communicating rope attached to it on either side, three or four yards long, the end of each being held by a boy, keep him perfectly secure. It is confinement that is inimical to a hyajna, and which increases his ferocity. There are other modes of hunting this stupid animal, either in the night with dogs, or by shooting him ; but he never conies out of his cave in the day- time, but sits at the further end of it, staring with his eyes fixed. Their general character is not to be afraid of man, nor indeed to attack or avoid him ; they will, however, attack aud destroy sheep, goals, poultry, asses, and mules; and are very fond of the intoxicating herb, called Hashisha. The hyama is said lo live to a great age. Agriculture.— At a meeting of the inhabitants of an extensive parish in Hampshire, the Churchwardens have received an order uot only to give rewards for the destruction of sparrows, but to extend these rewards to all specics of small birds. How ignorant are the gene- rality of mankind of their own good 1— This order in- cludes no fewet than forty difterent kinds of birds, which do uot eat a single grain of corn ; but which, in the course of the spring and summer, devour millions of insects that would otherwise prove infinitely more injurious to the farmer than all the sparrows which haunt his fields, were they ten times more numerous than they are. Aud even with respect to sparrows, which are certainly in some inc isure injurious to the crops, were the farmer seriously to reflect that the Almighty has not formed any race of beings whatever without giving to them an important destination, he w ould not probably he so anxious for their destruction. It has beeu satisfactorily ascertained, that a single pair Mr. LUSHINCTON brought up the Report of the Committee of Supply. On the Resolution for granting his Majesty 400,0001. tn make good his engagements with the King of Sicily, being read, Mr. LAMBS said, the sum granted last session, was only 300,0001. and no reason had yet been stated why it was now increased. He thought, previous to the House agreeing to vote away so considerable a sum, the country should be infoi med what were the benefits likely to result from oui exertions to preserve Sicily from the dominion of tbe French. He moved, that instead of 400,0001. 300,0001. be inserted.— The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHZAUER flattered himself that when the importance of Sicily, wilh respect to our interest in the Mediterranean, was considered, no difference of opinion would exist on the sibject of keeping that island inde- pendent of Fiance. It had always been deemed of sotnuch im- portance, that not only the present but preceding Administra- tions had considered it expedient to retain possession of it, although at considerable expense. Independent of our interest, there was also an obligation of good faith tosuppoit Sicily, in- asmuch as it was the good faith preserved towards this country by the Sovereignty of Sicily, which bad originally drawn the attention of the French arms towaids her. With respect to the additional 100,0001. to which the hon. gentleman objected, it arose from certain circumstances and arrangements which were stated to tbe House last session. Amongst which was one that the money should be paid in this country, and that the Government should be absolved from all risks whatever attend- ing its conveyance into tbe hands of the Sicilian Government; and also that in the event of an invasion ot Sicily tbe Sicilian forces should be, placed under a British Commander. Other arrangements had been made, and then stated to tbe House, sufficient to warrant tbe increase of 100,0001. and the treaty between the two countries, so altered, was, at the present instant, carrying into effect. He therefore trusted, the pre- sent vote would not be objected to, wliich, if it were, would make Ihe payment of the first part of the present year inade- quate to the exertion which had been made by the Sicilian Government,— Sir JOHN NEWPORT supported ihe amendment. He could not agree to tiie advance of 100,0001. till be saw whether the terms of the treaty were likely to be carried into etfect. If it should be found proper, the additional sum might be voted at a more advanced period of the sessions.— Afier a few words from General TARLETON, the House divided — For the amendment 25— Against it 55— Majority 30. Mr. LUSHINCTON brought up Ihe Report of the Privately Stealing Bill.— On the motion of Sir S. ROMII. LV that the amendments be engrossed,- Mr. HERBERT, of Kerry, rose to oppose tbe bill. He doubted very much the expediency of changing our present system of criminal law; it appeared from the statement of the hon. and learned gentleman himself, that, although our criminal code was severe, yet few, com- paratively, suffered Under it; and no one, in any case, unless his crimes were such as notoriously called for capital punish ment. He was for retaining our present code, which he con- tended, from its severity, operated the more effectually as a prevention of crimes; and he was persuaded, there was no country, iu wliich ttie laws operated more effectually for tbe security of the lives and property of individuals lhan they did in this country.— Sir J. NEWPORT contended tiiat our laws were bloody in system, but not in practice; so bloody were they in system, that, in numberless instances, those who had theexecuiion of them wereobltged to break through Ihem. He was of opinion, that ceitainty of punishment, whatever the degree of that punishment might be, would have more effect, than the severity of our present criminal code, with the chance of no punishment at all, could ever have. The severity of punishment inflicted by our present criminal laws, on trifling offences, often prevented persons from prosecuting offenders. Formerly, it was death, in Ireland, for any peison to cut a tree, eiiher by day or by night: here the severity of ihe punishment defeated the law. No person would prosecute an offender, even when detected in committing the offence. He knew a gentleman, who, from the extent of the depredations committed on bis property, came to a determination to make an example of one of the effeuders, to deter others, and one was soon apprehended. The gentleman continued in the re- solution of punishing him till the morning of the day on which he was to have been tried ; but as the hour approached his resolution failed ; and previous to the trial coming on, he declared to him ( Sir John Newport), that however much the community might suffer, he could not bring his mind to prose, cute a fellow creature to death, and leave his life at the mercy of the Crown, merely for cutting a tiee ; the man therefore escaped without punishment; whereas, had there been a punishment in law adequate to the uffence, he would no doubt have suffered that punishment. He ( Sir J. New- port), was of opinion, the criminal law of this kingdom was defective ; we were obliged to depart in practice from what was legalized in theory ; because if carried into effect, it would shock by its severity. Mr. DAVIS GIDDY, though he opposed so extensive an in- novation as that proposed by the present measure, was con viuced there were many parts of our criminal code which might be improved ; ami be should be happy tu see a moder- ate revision of tbe criminal law carried into effect.— Mr. WINDHAM entered into a wide range of argument to shew the impossibility of attaining tbe object intended by this bill. He saw that at the beginning uf the French revolution, that horrible event, of which the influence still surrounded us on every side, the refotiners began by abolishing capital punish- ments, and the end ot this philanthropic career was, ihe exe- cution of no less, altogeihei, than a million of people during the progress of the revolution; and therefore he would always loo1< with suspicion on any attempts at reform of a similar kind in this country.— The MASTER of the ROILS was of opinion that the object of the bills in question would be effected by them. It was well known that the punishment of death was seldom inflicted for the crimes to which the bills related. The inference from this was, that either the practice or the law must be wrong. But the practice was not bad, because if it. was, it would be complained of; it would be known, felt, and noticed. No complaint, however, was made against the discretionary practice of the Judges. It was evident then that the law was not commensurate to the offences— that it was wrong. There was one universal con- federacy and feeling Bg3inst this law for inflicting capital punishments for certain offences. The Juries, the Judges, and the King's advisers, all set their faces against inflicting the punishment of death. The law and the praelice being so totally at. variance did produce a most mischievous oper ation : and as the bills before the House went to correct that evil, they should have his support.— The ATTORNEY GENERAL was* confldent, that the fear of the greater punishment tended to prevent the commission of crimes. Should these bills pass, they would not diminish the discretion, which must still remain in the breasts of tbe Judges. He did not under- stand, that any communication was made to the Judges in this instance; and he believed they would not give their sanction to this alteration. They did not wish to be deprived of the power of punishing capitally, because that punishment had a tendency to prevent crimes. Administered as the law now was, with every degree of temper, justice, and mildness, lie saw no necessity for altering it— Mr. MORRIS said, that his experience in criminal courts made him draw a very dif- ferent conclusion from that ot the hou. gentleman who spoke last. He knew of repeated instances of persons capitally indicted being got off bv peijurv.— Mr. FRANKLAND could not see any reason for passing a law to do away a certain punish- ment, because such punishment was seldom or never in- flicted. Such a system as was now attempted, would tend to make a most dangerous alteration in our manners ; and no one thing would have a greater tendency to do so, than weakening the penal code.— Mr. WII. BERFORCR said we were gradually becomimr acquainted with the criminal code, and he was convinced that the bill, which he held iu his hand, if passed into a law, would have the most salutary and beneficial effects, and would completely set aside those sanguinary enactments which must in their present state be ineffectual. Under all these circumstances he was happy to give his warm- est support to the proposed measure— The SOLICITOR GE NERAL defended the present code generally, as answering all tiie purposes of the proposed bill: which he conceived went to throw aside the protection which the law had hitherto granted to the dwellings of individuals, and give licence to the depredator to commit one of the most enormous and ag- gravated offences.— Mr. CANNINO said, he could not see why the statutes were not to be repealed or amended accord- ing to circumstances, or why it should be contended that they were violating the statutes, because they endeavoured to amend and adapt them to the times, and give beneficial effects to them. The question was, not to extinguish the power, but to limit the principle. The only change, however, he wished to make was, to take away the power of life and death in the lesser criminal offences; and therefore he sup- ported the bill, so far as it went to effect this object.— The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER decidedly opposed the bill, on the ground that he did not believe it would go to diminish the commission of the offence, but to increase it.— Sir S. ROMILLY replied to the various arguments adduced by the several speakers against the bill ; he denied that he had ever refused all discretion to the Judges, but confessed that he wished to limit that discretion. Alluding to the assertion of the Attorney General that the Judges were adverse to the bill, Sii S. said the fact was he had made communication to them all, and had not received an unfavourable answer from any of them ; tbeir constant practice was indeed directly in his favour. There was no office of the Judge more solemn, nor any judgment of the law more awful, than passing sentence of death ; and yet its frequency, and the few cases in which it wns fulfilled, now rendered it almost absolutely null— the wretched criminal himself remained unpitied, from the un certainty of his fate, and was often hurried to eternity tin- prepared, from the false and cruel hope with which that uncertainty had inspired him.— A division then took place, and the numbers were — For ttie bill being ingrossed 31--- Against it 33 — Majority against the bill 2. The bill for better preventing lobbing on canals was recom- mitted for Monday next; and tbe Report of that for prevent- ing priiately stealing in shops was received, and the bill order- ed to be read a third time to- morrow.— Adjourned at 2 o'clock. WEDNESDAY, MAY 1. Mr. BYNG presented the following petition, unanimously agreed to at a numerous meeting of the Freeholders, con- vened by the Sheriff, at Hackney, on the SSlh of April To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled. The Petition of the Freeholders of Middlesex, agieed to in full county this 26th day of April, 1810. SHEWFTH, " That we have observed with concern, that io the cases of Mr. John Gale Jones and Sir Francis Burdett, Bart, your House assumed nnd exercised a power unknown to the law, nd unwarranted by the Constitution. " Your Speaker's warrant has been executed by military force ; an Englishman's house, his sanctuary, has been vio lated ; and the blood of unoffending Citizens has been shed ir. the streets. " Against the existence, as well as the exercise of this power, we solemnly protest— a protest the more necessary because your votes in its support are entered on your Journals — not so the letter of Sjr Francis BurdeU to your Speaker denying vou such jurisdiction. " In Ihe early part of this reign, in the case of Mr. Wilkes, the rights of this county, aud uf the nation, were repeatedly and grossly violated by the House of Commons. At length tbe law triumphed. After a struggle of nearly 20 years, the House abandoned the pretensions tliey had arro- gated, and ' expunged from their Journals all their declar- ations, orders, and resolutions, as being subversive of the rights of the whole body of Electors of this kingdom.' " You have, during your pleasure, deprived the Citzens of Westminster of their share in the representation of the public at large, of I he exertions of a faithful servant, in whose ability, firmness, and integrity, they pre- eminently confide. " We view with jealousy and suspicion the shutting up Sir Francis Burdett in prison, when the attention of the nation is directed with anxiety to his intended motion for a Preform in the Representation of the people in your Honourable House , that House in which the traffic of seats lias been avowe I, in the case of Mr. Perceval and Lord Castlcreagb, ' to be as notorious as the sun at noon- day ;' a practice, at the mention of which, in the emphatic language of your Speaker, 1 our , ancestors would have startled with indignation.' '' We, therefore, pray you to follow the example of your predecessors, ' to expunge all your declarations, orders, and resolutions on the subject, as tending to the subversion of our liberties,' and to the introduction of a military despotism, a nd to recall Sir Francis Burdett to the service of the country in Parliament, that he may there enforce that plan of Re- form wliich last session he so powerfully recommended, and which, in our opinion, is absolutely necessary for the stability and honour of the Throne, and the safety and well being of the People." Mr. BYNG then moved that the Petition do lie on the table. — Mr. Mellisn rose, he said, to second the motion. He, at the same lime, thought it necessary to state, that he must not be considered, by the vote he now gave, as approving of this Petition, but as acting in compliance with the wishes of a large portion of those Freeholders whom he represented. — Mr. PERCEVAL objected to its being entertained by the House, on the ground of the language being so disrespectful as to amount to an insult; it was nothing less than a man- date, calling upon the House to revoke tbe decision which it had come to, and that in the most disrespectful and insolent terms that could he conceived. Were the House now to admit of such a Petition as this, no body knew how many others, still more indecent, might, come before it. He there- fore opposed its being received. — Mr. Alderman COMBE said the Petition hud beeu agreed to unanimously, at a very nu- merous meeting of respectable Freeholders; aud, coining ^ rom such a body, it ougnt not to be lightly treated by the House. For his own part, so far from participating in the apprehen- sions expressed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, bethought the rejection ol this Petition, would only lead to other Peti- tions still more violent in their language. A short but interesting debate viisued , Mr. Caloraft, Mr. Hibbert, Col. Wardle, Mr. Abercrombie, Sir J. Newport, Mr. Byng, and Mr. Hutchinson, contended tor receiving the petition, notwithstanding tmrc mignt be some disrespectful expressions in it to-. vards Ihe House, which would best consult its own dignity by receiving rather than tiy iejecting it.— Mr. D. Giody, Mr. H. Biowne, Mr. H. Sumner, Mr. Lambe, and Mr. Stephen, thought if tfie present peo km was received it woulu lead to others more insulting. Tim House must begin to make a stand somewhere, and could not » io better than make it here 7' he petition contained a dogmatical denial of the most valuable privileges oi tne House; was a trial how far the patience ot the House could be worked upon. The the electors complained of being deprived of own representatives ; but neither Sir F. Buidett u . were representatives of Middlesex.— On the moiio BARHAM, who thought, for the sake of preserving nity, they should not coine to any hasty decision, the was adjourned till to- mnrrow.

FOTHERGIL'S " NERVOUS CORDIAL DROPS, rl^ HE latent cause of Nervous Disorders lies in JL an impure state of tbe Animal Juices, which instead of nourishing and supporting the principle of life, irritate and derange the Nervous Fibres ; this produces various com- plaints of a relaxed habit, the Animal Spirits not being supported, Hypochondriac and Hysteric Affections arise, and fiom this diseased state of the blood proceed tiie various maladies that iinbitter life, mar every present en joyment, aud cut the thread of existence by" a premature decay. For these disorders Dr. FOTHERGIL's GRAND ANALEPTIC and SPECIFIC has been found the best remedy, the most powerful restorative, and reanimating me- dicine; it has been proved an infallible cure for those whose health has been injured iu warm climates, oi by close atten- tion to business, and a sedentary life. Its powers have been fully confirmed in those infirmities which attack the Young nf eiiher Sex, and too often prematurely produce old age and all the weaknesses connected with it. No medicine pos- sesses such general restorative qualities, or is so well adapted to eveiy class of valetudinarians; the cold nerves and weak muscles of relaxed habits are warmed, animated, and con- firmed : bv thein the limbs acquire fresh vigour, the exhausted veins are filled with rich and healthy juices, the spirits droop- lug and languid, become revived aud exhilarated, the diffeient functions of appetite and digestion are promoted by it, and the whole constitution receives new life and strength. This.. grand restorative of health cannot be recommended with too much eagerness to the female sex, in the delicate and highly Nervous state which is known to succeed Childbed, and those pe uliar indispositions of the sex, which by want of attention, are apt to produce the most fatal aud lingering diseases, and even death itself. An established reputation of nearly 30 years, in private practice, warrants the public confidence in Ihe virtues of this medicine, which stands unequalled in the estimation of those who have used it.
