The following are extracts: Paris, May 18.— According to intelligence from Barcelona of the 5th instant, the fate of the Conspirator Lacy was not then decided ; orders from the Court were waited lor. They were still in pursuit of Milans. Marshal Jourdan is recovered, tt is said the Infant of Spain, Don Francis Paul, will pass the summer at Paris. On the 27tli ult at midnight, a Meteor, con- sisting of a mass of ( ire, was seen at Bledenkopt, in Hesse, which descended slowly towards the earth in a South Easterly direction. On its ap- proaching the earth it broke into pieces, and at the moment a long train of fire rose in the air, with a detonation similar to distant discharges of cannon, which was repeated five minutes af- terwards. The observers at the same time felt a commotion similar to a slight shock of an earth- quake. The King of Prussia sets out from Berlin the 1st of July, for the waters of Carisbad, and pro- ceeds about the 1st of August lo the Rhenish Provinces. Studgart, May 11.- In the Sitting of the States of the 8th, it was resolved by a majority of 57 to 53 in favour of the validity of a majority of Votes, upon all questions including the rights of the Old State. Naples, May 4.— There have been consider- able desertions from several corps. The Sicilian Regiments have particularly suffered. The most severe measures have been in consequence resorted to. Frankfort, May 8.— It appears from a recent Statistic Work, tiiat the Kingdom of Prussia contains 9,822,000 inhabitants, exclusive of the army. Vienna, May 7.— The Emperor sets out the 1st of July for Lemberg, in Gallicia, and will afterwards successively visit Transylvania, the Bannat, Berkowine, and Hungary. Madrid May 6.— There are still hopes of realizing, at least in part, the Loan which is nego ciating in Holland on account of Government. A letter from Paris, of the date of May 17, says:—" The City of Paris has just concluded a loan for 22 millions w ith the house of Rosschild and several other bankers. It was drained by the enormous expence of making good the dif ference of the price of meal, in order to keep bread at the price of 18 sous the four pounds. Even now when the price has risen to 20 sols, the amount of the daily indemnity granted by the city to the bakers is estimated at 75,000 francs. Happily this state of things approaches its termination. The harvest of vegetables is very abundant, and that of grain promises to be so also. The Eastern departments are still suffering; the consequence of which is, that bands of beggars, more or less numerous, infest the country in the neighbourhood of Paris. But Government has adopted prompt and efficacious measures to give relief to these unfortunate peo- ple, until Ihe arrival of the harvest, which wears so auspicious an appearance. The public funds continue lo rise ; and, generally speaking, the state of the finances become more and more prosperous. The Council of State, which as sembles regularly, according to the forms of its organization, is employed in framing some im- portant measures of economy, which it is intend- ed to propose to the Legislature next Session. They say that the news from Spain is not very encouraging with respect to the internal tranquillity of the country. We are assured that the French Government has adopted the wisest measures on that part of our frontiers to conciliate the common interests of the two nations, and to prevent misunderstandings." Copy of a Letter, received on Tuesday morning at Lloyd's, dated Deal, May 19. " The Turkish corvette Karabash, of 18 guns, Captain Mainlined Lazza, of and from Tunis, on a cruize of about two mouths, arrived in the Downs oil Tuesday morning, with his Majesty's brig Alert, and remained under quarantine. The Captain reports that he has not captured any vessel on his cruize, The ship and galliot re- ported yesterday appear to have been taken by another corvette, the Capitania. The Masters of the vessels are prisoners on board the latter corvette, and the Ganymede frigate is still at sea in quest of her." Extract of a Letter from the Agents to Lloyd's at Deal, date d the 20th inst. :— We have again been alongside the Turkish corvette in the Downs, and collected the following information, in addition to what we have already advised : — About twelve months since, the aforesaid cor- vette and a schooner, from Tunis, with a special commission from the Bey of that place, and under his colours, to cruise against vessels be- longing to Hamburgh, Bremen, and the Han- seatic Towns, against whom they have declared war, and none other. They sailed last from Tangiers, about 26 days since, and state that they made no other captures than the two vessels brought into the Downs, and which vessels they intended lo have taken to Tunis, The schooner parted company with them off Cape Finisterre, lo cruize there, and the two corvettes continued together, and were in company until the l( 5th instant, when they separated: they would- not give the names of the corvettes ; the one now ir the Downs they call the Karabash, which sig- nifies her class only; the other they call the Capitania, signifying thereby that she is the Commodore, and which ship is larger than the one in the Downs. No other cruizers, accord- ing to their accounts, were fitting out at Tunis. They acknowledged, however, that three Alge- rines were at sea, cruising in the Straits, when they left that quarter, but would say nothing further about them." By Letters from Hamburgh, we learn, that the ice on the Neva broke up on the 21st cf April, and in consequence at least 500 Mer- chantmen had arrived at Riga, before the 20th. The whole line of the Swedish Coast in the Baltic is now guarded by three flotillas of light vessels, constantly employed in cruizing, to pre- vent smuggling. Amongst the recent importations from the Continent, a French packet boat brought last week to Newhaven, forty- five foxes, which were forwarded from thence to their sporting des- tinations ! The Jamaica Conrant of the 22d ult. gives an account of a number of horrid outrages committed by piratical vessels, commanded by Captain Thomas Taylor, of Bermuda, Captain France, Captain Dutrieu, and others. Under pretence of searching for Spanish property, they have boarded vessels of all nations— hung up Supercargoes by the neck till nearly dead— and otherwise tortured them to discover property which they have seized on to a great extent— and they have carried on this nefarious traffic with impunity for a considerable time. The Esk sloop of war had been at Port- au- Prince, with a demand, couched in strong terms, from the Governor and Admiral of Jamaica, for the pilot negroes who had fled from Kingston, nnd taken refuge in Hayti, lo be free from slavery. President Petion, we understand, de- clined' it to be out of his power to give them up, as they had touched a land of liberty ; but made the owner, who was on board the Esk, a present of a sum of money as a compensation for his loss. By an arrival from Hayti, we have official in formation from General Bolivar's Head- quarters at Barcelona, down to the 5th March, brought to Jaquemel by Dr. F , high in the con- fidence of the General, and who had gone there on a Special Mission. It appears Bolivar, soon after arriving at Barcelona, was attacked by the Royalist General, Real, who had marched from Caraccas w ith 3000 men. The latter attempted to storm the town twice, and once was in tem- porary possession of the main square, from whence he was driven with great loss. Real then retreated about a league, to wait the arrival of the Commander- in- chief, Morales, who arrived off Barcelona on the 1st March, with one cor- vette, four brigs, some schooners, in all 18 sail. Four schooners belonging to the Independents were run on shore, and dismantled by their crews, but were not burnt. Morales anchored his squadron under the Morro, a large fortified hill at the entrance of the harbour, of which he took possession, and debarked not only the military, but also great part of the crews, in all about 2000 men. He sent orders to Real to commence the attack on Barcelona, situated 12 miles up the river, on the 3d, in the morning, and himself matched to assault it in front, leav- ing 100 men in the Mono, to protect his vessels. On his approach, the discharges of artillery and musketry led him to suppose that Real was already engaged, as in fact he was, but not in the attack of the town. On the first approach of Real, Bolivar had sent orders to Generals Marino and Arismendi to come to his aid, and the latter at the head of 1500 cavalry, reached the position of Real, just as he was preparing to take his share in the attack preconcerted with Morales, and crippled him so much, that he Was compelled to retreat hastily towards Caraccas after much hard lighting. Bolivar finding him- self disengaged from Real, by the timely arrival of Arismendi, dispatched 300 men who took possession of the Morro, and turned the guns on the Spanish squadron, who instantly cut their cables and put to sea ; and with the remainder of his forces ( 1200 men) met Morales, whom he defeated, killing 400 and dispersing the rest, most of whom joined him the day after. Mo- rales wounded, with much difficulty escaped in a canoe on board his squadron, which imme- diately made sail for La Guira. General Marino, from Cumana, joined Bolivar on the 4th with 2500 men, and they were to march to join Arismendi, in pursuit of Real, on Ihe 5th. The Patriot force, with the deserters who had united with them, amounted to 7000 men, independent of the divisions of Piar and Bermudez, who were also matching on the capi- tal from another quarter. The Royalist force iu Caraccas, according to accounts from Curacoa of 20th March, consisted of 700 Spanish regu- lars, recently arrived from Puerto Rico, and about 2000 Creoles, all of whom would join their countrymen on their approach, as they had sent to inform them. So desperate were the affairs of King Ferdinand in that quarter, I hat all the Royalists were flying to Curacoa, and the City of Saute Domingo, In the latter place, the Bishop of Caraccas had arrived with tiie Church plate. The Patriots were reported to be within seven leagues of Caraccas on the 17th March, and no doubt was entertained of their being in complete possession of all the provinces of Veue- zuela- by the 1st of April. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE oi." COMMONS, MONDAY, May 19,1817. The second reading of the Game Bill was postponed till 30th May. Mr. Butterworth moved foran account ofthe number of Licenses issued during the last two years for selling gold and sil ver plate, and the amount sold, distinguish- ing the quantities above two ounces in weight.— Ord.

Oil the question that the Lottery Bill be read a third time, some remarks ensued, which terminated as fol- lows, ou the question that the Bill he read a third time " now"— A yes... 73.— Noes... 43. ABOLITION OP SINECURES. The Abolition of Sinecures Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed to- morrow. The second reading of the Exchequer offices Regu- lation Bill of England and Ireland was ^ oved and read a second time, as was also the Board of Trade Regu- lation Bill, after a few words from Mr. Calcraft, and ordered severally to be committed to- morrow. OFFICES COMPENSATION BILL. On the motion for the second reading of the Offices Compensation Bill, a short debate took place, which ended in the following division, For tile second reading... 105.— Against it.. 45. Majority in favor ofthe Bill CO. SUPPLY. The House having resolved into a Committee of Supply. On the motion of Mr. Arbuthnot 75,0001 was voted for the employment of convicts at home, and 80,0001. to meet bills drawn from New South Wales. The House resumed, and the report was ordered to be received to- morrow. Mr. Huskisson obtained leave to bring in a Bill for opening a carriage road from Millbank to the Peni- tentiary. The other Orders of the Day were disposed of, anil the House adjourned at eleven o'clock. TUESDAY. Gen. Thornton fixed his motion for leave to bring in a Bill to abolish public Whipping of Female Offenders, for the 5th of June. Gen. Mathew presented a Petition from the City of Dublin for Parliamentary Reform. Mr. Talbot seconded tiie motion for bringing up the Petition.— The Petition was laid on the table. The House after some observations from Mr. Gil- bert, Sir W. Burroughs, Mr. Lambe, Mr. Huskisson, and Mr. Tierney, went into the Committee on the Ex- chequer Bills Bill. Report to- morrow. The House went into a Committee on the. Exchequer Courts and the Irish Offices Abolition Bills. Reports to- morrow. The Civil Offices Compensation Bill was postponed till Friday next. PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. Sir F. Burdett presented a Petition from the Inha- bitants of Cork praying for a Reform in Parliament. The Hon. Baronet stated, that in this great and popu- lous town the inhabitants were ingreat distress. It was laid on the table. The Hon. Baronet then rose to bring forward his motion for Parliamentary Reform. He felt himself placed ill an awkward situation; for if at former periods lie had brought the subject forward, enough would have been stated by liini to induce the House to agree to his motion, if he had proved that corruption existed at elections. But now, corruption was openly avowed; and it was admitted, that the seeds having been sown, and the tree flourishing, no efforts which lie could make would perhaps produce any practical good, un- less they saw the thing in the light which he did. More Petitions had been presented of late, complaining of the grievance, aud asking redress, which was sufficient to prove that the People had causes for complaint. Formerly it was said, " Where are your Petitions from Birmingham, from Manchester, and " other great towns?" That objection could not obtain now, for those towns had petitioned, made good their distresses, and shown the necessity for a Reform iu Parliament. Much had been said about the new fangled doctrines of annual Parliaments, as not being a part of the Constitution. What was the law as laid down by A. Hall, in his book called " The Mirror of Justice," and recognized by Lord Coke. That doctrine was established by Edward the Confessor. In the time of Edw. IV. annual Par- liaments were usual, and the people of England did in those times insist upon their right in that respect. [ Here the Hon. Baronet went through many of the earliest reigns of our History, from Edward IV. down to the introduction ofthe Prince of Orange, to shew the short duration of Parliament at different periods in the times of our ancestors], then touching on the Freedom of Election, fzer. read some extracts fiom the Petition of 1793, presented by a society for a Reform in Parliament, which slated that 81 persons send 150 Members to Parliament; and that 100 more were re- turned by 70 more individuals. Thus 151 persons claimed the right of disposing of the rights and liberties of several millions of their fellow- countrymen. The Hon. Baronet would much rather that the power was vested in the hands of the Crown. Judge Blackstone was of opinion ( though when he wrote he was consi- dered as a Crown Lawyer), that the House of Com- mons should be kept distinct from the influence of the ; There was a limit to which the applications of a loyal and virtuous people for redress alight he refused : but they were bound to enquire into the complaints ofthe people, and not to drive them to violence. In the opinion of Bishop Burnet, the sending 44 Members from Cornwall to support the Throne, was a principal cause of the Revolution of 1688. If they now attempted to stifle the complaints of a loyal, but distressed, people, they would, when too late, regret that they had not adopted the suggestion of the Hon. Baronet. Sir J. Nichol opposed the motion; because be was inimical to any alteration in our Constitution, unless those who proposed any such alteration, shewed the ne- cessity for it, and the benefits that arise from it. For his part he held it undeniable, that this nation enjoyed many and great benefits under the present Constitution; and before blessings of that kind were to be put to the risk, lie thought tliev would pause at least to consider, that the Constitution beinga machine of cheeks itmight either be stopped by alteration, or urged on to destruc- tion. It was sufficient, in his opinion, lo know that the machine at present works well. What could be in theory more absurd, than that 12 Jurymen should be unani- mous in their opinions, yet what worked more purely in practice. It might appear to be equally absurd to say, that the little county of Rutland should send as many ' Members to Parliament as Yorkshire. And he admitted, that all governments ought to be for the benefit of the people; but an equal representation of the people was not necessary to the legitimacy of Government, unless it were shewn, that such a representation would he pro. ductive of a greater proportion of happiness to the peo Mr. Peel moved for leave to bring in a Bill to conti- nue for one year the Insurrection Act in Ireland.— Leave granted. Sir James Mackintosh moved, that there he laid be- fore the House copies of any and all correspondence that had taken place between a person ofthe name of Poole and the Home Department, touching the conduct of three individuals named Fletcher, Deacon and Par- kinson, who were examined before the Rev. Edward Powis, a Magistrate of Stafford.— This produced a short conversation which ended in the following divi- sion:— For the motion 13— Against it 47— Maj. 31. POOR EMPLOYMENT BILL. The Chancellor of the Exchequer moved the Order of the Day be now read for the House going into a Com- mittee on the Poor Employment Bill. On the question that the Speaker do leave the Chair— Lord Milton took the present opportunity of expres- sing his doubts whether this proposal would be as bene- ficial to the country as Ministers expected. He was afraid that relief would be afforded to not the most po- pulous districts, and that in many places the habits of the people would not be found adapted to the employ- ment proposed. He might specify Manchester, Bir- mingham, Sheffield, & c. the lasl of which he was confi- dent, from personal knowledge, could not be relieved as was expected. One objection which struck him very strongly was, the effect this measure would hitvrt on the parish rates, as in the first place the parish mtist pay the interest on the sum, and next must raise the sum itself in 3 years. This hesuggestcd as well worthy of the attention of the House, and he confessed he saw The Queen's Birth- Day.— Monday being the anniversary of the Queen's birth, when her Ma- jesty completed her 73d year, it; was observed as usual, in a private manner, by the Royal Fa- mily. In the morning the King's Equerry and other officers of State and fhe Royal Household waited upon the Queen to pay their respectful congratulations upon the return of the day.— The Dukes of York, Clarence, Sussex, and Gloucester, and the Princess Sophia of Glou- cester, called at the Palace as did the Duchess of Gloucester, although at considerable incon venience to herself, from the still remaining ill effects of her late severe indisposition. A num- of the Nobility and persons of distinction left their names upon the occasion. In the evening the Prince Regent had a numerous party at Carlton- house, as a mark of respect to his Royal Mother : at which she, the Princess Elizabeth, i and others of the Royal Family were present. it ought to be the Repre The fact however was, that there were 151 Sovereigns, who who had the command ofthe purse- strings of ihe country. The Hon. Baronet then touched on various other troden topics, aud con- cluded a very able speech, by saying, lie wished the Gentlemen of England would see their own interest, and lend their hands to this great work— take counsel from their wisdom, not from their fears— this system of corruption, which bad driven them from the scats of their ancestors, to hide themselves in foreign lands from their creditors, would be done away with altogether. It was not the power of the Crown he objected to, but the power of that House against the Crown and the People. If the People were constantly to be met with Bills of severity, when they petitioned the House for a Reform of the Representation, it was no wonder they were reduced to desperation. Measures of severity against the People used formerly only to be adopted by the Executive Government, but now every man in England found the House of Commons, the natural pro- teeior of the People, iu hostile array against him. Lord Chatham, Mr. Pitt, and Lord Grey, had brought for- ward motions for Parliamentary Reform, and Mr. Burke and Mr. Fox had supported it. He wished the Gentlemen of England to recollect the damning fact ( he might say) that the Representation of the People was iu the hands of 147 Boroughmongers, who put up a share in 1 lie Sovereignty of this country for sale at every General Election, and ruled the country, to the exclusion of Kings, Lords, and Commons. He would not take upon himself to propose a remedy, but hoped the House would adopt an inquiry into the abuse of so many peers nominating persons to seats in the House, in defiance of the Resolutions of that House, and iu defiance of common decency. That House in- stead of being the steward of the people had made itself the master of the people. No man, he hoped, would now be found hardy enough to say, that those who talked ofanntial Parliaments were wild and visionary ; for at the time of the debates on triennial Parliaments it was argued, that annual Parliaments were the birth- right of the people. He concluded by moving for a Select Committee to enquire into the present state of the Representation of the People. Mr. Brand seconded the motion. He did not think he should have much occasion to tresspass on the time of the House, after the very able, luminous and discreet speech of the Hon. Baronet: but be must say, that in his opinion, the House must either grant some Reform to the people, or else impose military power to suppress their right of petitioning. All the Petitions of the people for a restoration of their rights had been met with measures of severity, which had excited the people to an enquiry into the cause of their distresses, which they had attributed to the want of Reform in their Representation. The House consisted of Repre- sentatives of real property, as for Counties, and of Re- presentatives of Boroughs. The supporters of Govern- ment in the House were as five to one; but among those the Representatives of real property would only be found to be as four to three. The fact was, we had only virtual, not real, Representation. Not to consider the question in the abstract, it was only now necessary < o consider the mischief which must arise from the , people losing all confidence in their Representatives. pie. 1 lie House. ot Commons should oe composed 01 an the wisdom, integrity, and knowledge that could be brought into it. For { lie wisdom, it should be composed of men of talent: for the integrity, of men of character and property ; and for the knowledge, of statesmen, commercial men, agriculturists, > S: e. And, lie would ask, if such were not the composition of the House of Commons now ? In his opinion, the different sorts of re- presentatives were pretty equally distributed in that House. As to representatives of real property, or coun- ty Members, there was not above one fourth of them that supported Mr. Grey's motion for Reform. It is true, many of the Petitions complained of excessive taxation; but'ifthey complained of unnecessary tax- ation, it must be denied ; because the taxation was ab- solutely necessary to discharge the interest of the public debt l ie admitted that this arose from the wars we had been involved in lately ; but if that House had been more in unison with the people, would we have had fewer wars? Was it so in the Democratic forms of ancient or modern Republics? In our own country every war since the Rovolution had been oneaccordingto the wishesof the people. Neither did he believe that if our form of, Government had been more democratic, ourexpences in war would have been less. Much pains had been taken to mislead the . people; and he feared, that if they put to the risk the best blessings of the Constitution, they would not satisfy either the wise or prudent part of the people, or the clamorous and discontented. The agi- tation of such a question as this, was most dangerous, at a period of general distress like ( he present. Those who approved of this measure ought to have pointed Out the mode of carrying it into effect, and the benefits likely to result from it. This reign had certainly not been hostile, to Reform, for instance, making the Judges independent of the Crown, the Grenville Act, and the Act preventing Revenue Officers from voting for Mem- bers. There were not now above ' 20 Members in the House immediately connected with the Crown. The giving to the Public reports of their proceedings had thrown more weight into the popular scale than any in- fluence gained by the Crown.— The House would re- sist this motion, if it wished to preset ve to the country its blessings, and not plunge it in all the miseries which had recently involved surrounding nations. For these reasons he, would most cordially oppose the motion. Lord Cochrane said, the Hon. and Learned Dean of the Arches had told them how nicely both sides of the House were balanced; but he forgot to say that both sides were in opposition to the People. He had said that the agricultural and commercial interests were re- presented in the House; but he had forgot to state the influence used in this House bv sinecures, pensions, & e. Were they the only pure persons that had existed in the world? He thought that could not be said.— 1' lie Hon. and Learned Dean of the Arches had stated no- thing against the motion of his Hon. Friend ; and he hoped the House would agree to this Committee, con- sidering that there was no difficulty in granting Com- mittees when the liberties of the people were to be abridged. Nothing could be of benefit to the country whilst the present financial system existed. Mr. Curwen supported the motion. Mr. Ward trusted this question would be opposed by every one, who, like him, were aware of its dangerous consequences. A motion of this sort was always consi- dered by him as a motion for Democracy and Revolu- tion.— Hear, hear !— The arguments in favour of this measure were certain to find favour with the multitude: whilst to argue in defence of our Constitution required more of solid talent and ability than was possessed by- most men. It was easy enough to tell the multitude they had rights which were kept from them ; and they were instantly ready to call for an entire change of the system. It was easy to tell the People they were not represented ; they would immediately believeit, though he was ready to contend, that in no country were the people so well represented. The numerous Petitions which had been presented to this House in favour of Parliamentary Reform, arose out of the • distresses of the people; 2 or 3 years ago scarcely a word was heard on the subject of Parliamentary Reform. L.- t otir trade once revive, and wcshould hearno more of it. And, indeed, he was of opinion, with all the endeavours of those who favoured the measure, nothing like a ge neral wish, in favour of Parliamentary Reform, had been produced. The Hon. Gent, then proceeded to commenton the speech of Sir F. Burdett, and observed that the Hon. Baronet had laboured very hard for an- nual Parliaments, and had gone back to early days of of our history, to the time of William the Conqueror. We might at that time, indeed, have had annual Parlia- ments; that was, as he believed, Parliaments held once a year. The Hon. Baronet had attacked the Borough System, as usual. He ( Mr. W.) considered the Borough System as a part of the Constitution.— Hear, hear!— He considered it to be so; and he was not ashamed to say, that he. would as soon part with the. County of York out of the Representation, as with the Borough of Old Sarum. — Hear!— He denied that the Borough System was injurious to liberty. He had on frequent occasions said in the House, and elsewhere, that tiie late war was a war of the Borough System, a war of jobs. He dc- ni'ed it altogether. It was the. war of the people more particularly than any former war had been. The war was their's; the wisdom, magnanimity, and perseverance was their's; the success, honour, and glory of its ter. mination belonged to the people. The Parliament was only the organ of the people, and never at any former period had it been more faithfully the organ of the pco pie than on this occasion. To say we had not a tree Constitution would be a libel on onr ancestors who had purchased it with their blood, and transmitted it down to us in a most perfect form ; and he trusted we should hand it down to our posterity unimpaired in the slightest degree. Sir S. Romilly and Mr. Tierney spoke in favour of the motion, and Mr. Lambe against it. Lord Milton assured the House that nothing he had heard had changed his opinions on the question; he thought it was dangerous to touch the Constitution. The House then divided— Ayes 77 Noes 265— Ma- jority against the motion 188.— Adjourned. WEDNESDAY. Sir J. Mackintosh postponed until the 5th of June his promised motion, which stood for to- morrow, respecting the Droits of the Admiralty. Upon a message from the Lords, leave was granted to Sir B. Riddell to attend their Lordships' Committee upon the subject of the Poor Laws. REFORM— REPEAL OF SEPTENNIAL PARLIAMENTS. Mr. Brougham gave notice of his intention to move, on the 5th of June ( which he believed was the first open day), for leave to bring in a Rill for the Repeal of the Septennial Act [ loud cries of hear, hear, hear! on the Opposition Benches.] Sir J. Mackintosh called to the recollection of his Hon. Friend, that his notice respecting the Droits of the " rown stood for the day alluded to. Mr. Brougham therefore fixed upon the 10th of June, observing that he was not present when his Hon. Friend had deferred his notice.. p. o means whatever ot realizing those hopes which tins measure as a whole excited. In the Committee he should therefore move, that the clauses respecting the parishes be rejected. Mr. Long Wellesley said that even if partial relief was only afforded, that was not. to be overlooked, but l; e felt the strongest objection to the principle of the mea- sure, and had, therefore, before speaking, been anxious to hear the amendments which the Rt. Hon. Gent, ( the Chancellor of the Exchequer), would make in the Bill. He was satisfied there was plenty of capital in the country for employing all the poor, and it. was not money which was required, but employment. Besides, it was not proper to occupy the time of the House, and direct tiie attention of Members to mere temporary expedients which could do no good. Something deci- sive was wanted, something which would afford them : i permanent source of employment. The poor- rates, it was true, could not beat once done away, but surely something should be done which would have the effect of gradually abolishing them, and thus ameliorating the character as well as the condition of the poor. After some further remarks by Mr. Wm. Smith, Sir W. Burroughs, anil Mr. Thomson, ( who recommended an extension of the Powers of the Commissioners,) Mr. Rose, and Mr. Littleton. The House resolved itself into the Committee. A long and desultory discussion ensued on the various clauses of the Bill. Lord Milton ( in pursuance of the intention which Ive had previously announced) moved the omission of that part of the Bill which £ » ave to the Commissioners the power of advancing loans to parishes. The Chancellor of the Exchequer inserted the expedi- ency of retaining that part of the measure, and entered into a variety of details with respect to the mode of its execution. Mr. Lockhart was of opinion, that the object of the measure, would have been better obtained by general contribution. Mr. H. Bathurst supported the clause. Mr. Long Wellesley contended, that under it the occu- piers- of land would pledge the land for future years, and then endeavour to get rid of their possession by flaws in their leases. Mr. B. Bathurst thflitght this danger chimerical. Mr. Western supported the Amendment. Sir M. W. Ridley followed on the same side. After some observations from the Chancellor of the Exchequer in support of the clause; and from Lord Milton, Mr, N. Calvert, and Mr. Littleton in favour of the amendment, a division took place. For the Amendment 15, against it 23; majority 8. On on% of the clauses it was observed by Mr Thomp- son, that the power of issuing Extents in Aid would be given to a great class of person^; The Chancellor of the Exchequer observed, that the Bill which he was shortly to bring in which would take away the power of issuing Extents in Aid, except for the amount of debts due to the Crown, and the sums thus levied would be immediately paid over in discharge of those debts. The clauses having been gone through the House re- sumed.- Report to morrow. The Tythes Leasing Bill went thrdhgli a Committee pro forma. The Report to be taken into consideration on the 2d of June.

On the motion of Mr. Rose', an account of the esti- mated Expences of the British Museum for 1816 and 1817 were ordered to be laid before the House. A Petition was afterwards presented from the Museum, praying for pecuniary aid:— Referred to a Committee. Mr. Western gave notice of a motion for leave to bring in a Bill to amend and explain the Assessed Taxes Act. Mr. Brougham moved for the revival of the Com* mittce on Education of the Poorer Classes of the Me- tropolis.— Ordered. Mr. Brogden brought up the Report of the Bill for the Employment of the Poor, and thc amendments were igreed to ; and the Bill was ordered to be read a third rilne to- morrow. A Bill was brought in for regulating certain Offices in the Mint, and abolishing others; which was read a first, and ordered to be read a second time to- morrow. BANKRUPT LAWS. Mr J. Smith presented a Petition from nearly the whole of the trading community in the City of London : he Bank of England, Bankers, East and West India Merchants, & c. on the subject of the Bankrupt Laws. They complain of those Laws; but principally of the place in which the meetings are held, the place being so much crowded, that it is impossible the Commis- sioners can go through their business. The Hon. Gen- tleman said, it was his intention to move for a Com- mittee, to take the subject into consideration.-— Tiie Petition having been read, Sir S. Romily was satisfied that it would be quite im- possible to correct the abuses in the Bankrupt Laws, without a complete revisal of those Laws, The House would be astonished to hear of the number of men w ho made a trade of getting Commissions of Bankruptcy- taken out, with a view of defrauding the creditors of the Bankrupt. The substitution of a lesser punish- ment. than that of death would have the effect of pre- venting the crime. The Hon and Learned Gentleman observed, that there was a Bill now before the House to remedy the defect ill these laws; hut he was con- vinced, as it took a retrospective view, it would operate- no good. Mr. Lockhart believed, that that if the Lord Chan- cellor knew of these fraudulent acts, he could reform iiie abuses committed, without the interference of the Legislature. As to the Bill which he had introduced, he bad received some valuable communications ; but he did not wish to press it to the House. Mr. Abercrombie entertained the same opinions as his Hon. Friend ( Sir. S. Romilly). Sir J. Newport, said, that the Bankrupts in Ireland, instead of relieving the creditors, were any tiling else but a relief. Mr. Lubbock supported the prayer of the Petition, which was laid on the table. Mr. J. Smith then intimated, that he should to- mor- row move for a Committee on the subjec t. The. House went into a Committee on the Clergy- Residence Bill, in which it received several verbal Amendments. Mr. W. Wynne moved that the name of the Chaplain- General of the Army should be omitted in the list of persons exempted from residence. After some conversation, in which Mr. Wilberforce, Mr. M. Sutton, Sir W. Scott, and others, took a part, Mr. Wynne withdrew his amendment; but proposed that the name of Chaplain of the Dock- yards should be omitted. Upon this amendment the gallery was cleared for a division— For the original clause 32— For the amend- ment 9.— The amendment therefore wa- lost.— Adj. LONDON, • FRIDAY, MAY 23, 1817. —— A mail from Flanders arrived on Friday mom- ing. The intelligence brought by these Mails is almost always to he received with hesitation and doubt. The Oracle, of Brussels, says that Letters have been received from Madrid, an. nouncing the intention of the Spanish troops to occupy Portugal, which is to be united to Spain in consequence of arrangements concluded with the Court of Brazil, which is to be indemnified by the cession of Spanish Provinces in South America. There cannot be any foundation for this statement. Besides, Spain is in no situation COURT OF CHANCER*, TrrtitsbAY, MA* 22. Horne Tooke's Works. HART V. SIMPKIN AND MARSHALL. Sir Samuel Romilly, on the part of Miss Hart, the Devisee of the estate and effects of Mr. Horne Tooke, moved for an injunction against the defendants, respectable booksellers, residing in Stationers'- court, Ludgate- hill, to stay them from publishing and selling a certain work, written by Horne Tooke, entitled " The Diver- sions of Purley." The first edition of the work was published by Mr. Horne Tooke, in flic year 1786; and in 1789 he published another edition, with considerable additions. In 1812 Mr. Horne Tooke died, just having entitled himself aud his devisees to a second term of 14 years. to enforce such an arrangement, and Portugal: Messrs. Simpkin and Marshall are now publish- ing the work in question, in Monthly Numbers, in no disposition to submit to it. Tiie Netheiiand Government, in consequence | at haif- a- crown of the incessant attempts ma le by the foreign Journalists in Belgium to disturb the repose of Europe, has resolved to adopt some strong measures against them, the nature of which, however, is not yet known. The price of grain is declining, and every thing seems to promise an abundant harvest. each, in a collection under the title of " Collectanea Critica et Literaria," to stop which the present application was made.— Injunction granted. Friday morning were received the Calcutta Papers to the 19th of last December inclusive. They contain details of the politics and warfare of the Hindoostanee Chiefs, and of the Pin darees. The district of Jypoor is in a distracted and desolate state. There are various Chieftains all pursuing one object, but in a different way. They would remove Meer Khan, who seems to carry on his predatory schemes, and was, on the 14th November, near Joudpor, in the hilly and strong country of Agemere.— Meanwhile the Pindarees, hovering along the banks of the Nar- budda, have kept the Guzerat and Candeish in great alarm. About the middle of November, 10,000 were encamped on the north bank of the Narbudda, 4000 of whom broke up, and took the road to Guzzerat. The rest, as we infer from the later accounts, from Bombay, of the 4th of Jan. made a rapid dash southward of the Narbudda, and were met and defeated with much skill and courage by Major Lushington. The British Nagpoor force was, in the middle of November, encamped near Hosingabad. One of its detachments had, about the fitli November, fallen in with and killed a few Pindarees on the north bank of the Narbudda. There has been great sickness in the Upper Provinces, but it was on the decline. The Frances Charlotte was lost on the 5th Nov. on the Preparis, off the coast of Siam. About 120 men, the sick, aud the women and children, Major and Mrs. Macpherson, and Mrs. M'Queen, were taken off by the Prince Blucher, from China. The rest, 90 men, 6 officers, and 60 Lascars were left on the Preporis ; the Blucher having carried away her foremast in a storm, and re- ceived other damage ; but vessels were dis- patched from Sanger Roads to bring them off, and no doubt was entertained of their being saved. The Pindarees, w ho have of late years com- mitted so much outrage upon the peaceable inhabitants of different parts of India, have received a salutary check in the neighbourhood of Bombay. Their audacity had led them in their predatory incursions within six miles of Bombay, oue of the principal seats of the Indian Government; an act of insult and defiance to the British power unexampled, except in the time of Hyder Ally, when he carried fire and sword to the very walls of Fort St. George. Major Lushington, commanding the 4th re- giment of Madras Light Cavalry, has taught Ihe Pindarees, that their vigilance in avoiding regular troops, and their activity in flight, do not always secure them from punishment. Having received intelligence on the night of the 26th of December, that the Pindarees had made their appearance at Sogaum, early on that day, Major Lushington thought it possible, bv a vigorous effort, to come up with them. He put the regiment in motion as quickly as possible, and about the middle of the next day- troops were brought within 1,000 yards df the enemy, consisting of 3,000 men. The surprize was complete, and the attack and pursuit so ardent, that 800 were killed and wounded, and many rendered incapable of pursuing their plundering excursion by the loss of their horses. Including the pursuit and return to Cowah, the distance gone over by the regiment, from the moment they started until the close of the day- is estimated at 70 miles. The Bombay Courier says, that the commu- nication between Seroor and Poonah, and tin latter place and Panwell, had for a fortnight been unsafe without a guard. " Numerous Mahratta families have within these few days sought for refuge in the islands of Caranja and Salsette. The principal object of tiie Pendarees in entering the Concan was to seize a large quantity of kincob ( silks) which was expected from Bombay to Chowal for the interior. This they succeeded in. It is their intention to sweep the coast as far as Surat." Leprosy.— By accounts from the Cape of Good Hope it would appear, that the leprosy had spread to such an alarming extent, that his Excellency the Governor ( Somerset) had issued a Proclamation, dated the 14th of February, ordering a certain district to be appropriated for the persons attacked with that dreadful ma- lady. Land marks had been erected, and se- vere penalties were to be exacted from persons found beyond the boundaries, as in cases of quarantine for contagious disorders, as by the laws provided. In the Consistory Court on Tuesday, Lady Kirkwall ( who is prosecuting a divorce against Lord K.) obtained an order for 250/. for her present use.— Her Ladyship, it appears, is en- titled to 1000/. per annum by the marriage set- tlement.— In the same Court the case of Lady Herbert against Lord Herbert came on. It ap- pears that the parties were married in Sicily, but the husband deserted his wife almost imme- diately and came to this country, whither he was followed by the Lady, who is daughter to a Sicilian Nobleman, Lady Herbert, demands alimony, but Lord Herbert, by again going abroad, aud keeping out of the way of receiving a citation, an application was necessary to declare the citation, if served on his Lordship's Solicitor, to be a valid citation.— Sir Wm. Scott took time to consider the case. Mr. Butterworth, on Monday night, in the House of Commons, in reference to the Trade of Watchmakers, moved, that there be laid before the House an Account of Licences granted for selling Gold or Silver Plate in Great Britain for the last ten years, distinguishing the Licences granted for the sale of goods or wares, containing under two ounces of gold, or under 30 ounces of silver; which was ordered.— We understand, in explanation of the motions, that about two years ago the Duty on Licences to sell gold and silver plate was doubled ; in con- sequence of which some of the small shop- keepers in tiie country have ceased to take out any Licences, which, with other causes, has tended to injure the sale of watches. A Bill is now before the House of Commons, which in the preamble states the inconvenience which arises from the existing law allowing a parish settlement to every person who rents, for 40 days, a tenement of the annual value of 10/. or, in lieu of that, rents lands of an equal value, for the pasturage of cows. In conse- quence of the latter having been deemed capable of giving a claim to a parish settlement, the owners and occupiers of lands, in order to securi their respective parishes from additional bur- thens, were unwilling to permit the cows of poor labourers to depasture upon their lands for hire, as formerly. To remedy this incon- venience, the Bill proposes, that no person renting any tenement, the value whereof shall consist, in whole or in part, of pasturage rent for cows, or which shall be hired under separate contracts, shall gain a settlement thereby; unless the yearly value of such tenement, exclusive of such pasturage rent, shall be 10/., or, inclusive of it, 20/. CRUELTY TO A FEMALE. Monday morning, about half- past 9 o'clock as a man named Richard Blake was passing through John- street, Golden- square, his atten- tion Was arrested by repeated cries of " Mur- der!" proceeding from the second floor of the house of one Neil, opposite; he stopped to listen, and the window was thrown up, when a miserable- looking female thrust her head out of the window, and in a very faint voice exclaimed, " Oh ! save me, my Guardian is starving me to death." Several of the neighbours said, that for six weeks past they heard her repeatedly scream, and advised him to inform the Magi- strates of the circumstance. Accordingly he came down to Marlborough street, where he stated the case, and an officer was sent to en- quire into the truth of it, who, on his arrival, found the house surrounded by a mob of at least 2,000 persons, who were breaking the windows, Ac. The officer made an application for ad- mittance but was refused, and Neil ( who, it is said, formerly kept a Banking- house) and his clerks made an attempt to escape by the back, but were frustrated by the activity of the mob, and again obliged to retire. The officer then returned and made his report to the Magistrates, and as ihe disturbance became rather alarming, Mr. Baker proceeded to the spot in person, and after considerable trouble succeeded in gaining admittance. On entering the room, they were struck with indignation and pity on beholding the almost inanimate figure of a" female, about 26 years of age, stretched on an old couch ; she was devoid of common covering, an old blanket being the only apparel she appeared to have ; her flesh was as black as earth, and she was so weak as to be totally unable to move. When the officers lifted her up, she could only say, Don't hurt me," but was too weak to say more. She was conveyed to the parish work- house in dying state. About this time an alarm was given that Neil had escaped, and the officers were dispatched after him, but his person be- ing known to some of the crowd, lie was stop- ped, and would in all likelihood have been torn to pieces, had it not been for the constables in- terfering, who took him in custody, put him in- to a coach and carried him to the Office amidst shower of stones and mud, and pursued by- such a crowd, that it was absolutely necessary to shut the office doors to keep them out. The wretched woman was too weak to attend to give evidence. The common report among the neighbours is, that he Was her guardian, and attempted to defraud her out of a splendid for- tune. After a private examination, which lasted two hours, he was removed in the custody of Marsden the locker- up. Melancholy Event.— Extract of a letter from Newport, County Mayo:—" I am sorry to say, that a shocking accident occurred at Newport on Friday night. A number of persons had assembled in Denis Hoban's house, to see a play performed, when the floor gave way and they were precipitated into the street. Four lives have been lost, poor Mr. Duff, a Miss Kearns, daughter of an Officer in the 68th, and two women, whose names have not been mentioned to me. Great numbers are severely hurt." Awful Calamity.— The following article is extracted from a Bath Paper of the 16th inst. : Yesterday being Ascension Day the parish of St. Peter and St. Paul, and St. James perambu- lated in the forenoon their respective bounda- ries, argreeably to a custom periodically observ ed, and wisely established by our ancestors, as a means of preventing disputes and litigation.

This was the reason why they caused Oliver to be held to bail; and they have given strict orders to their Officers to bring all persons under similar circumstances before them.— We hope the country Magistrates will follow up with spirit and perseverance the example which has thus been given in the metropolis. Marriage in High Life.— Monday morning was married, at St. George's Church Hanover- square, by the Rev. Dr. Satterthwaite, the Hon. C. Lowther, Major of the 10th Royal Hussars, second son to the Earl of Lonsdale, to the Right Hon Lady Eleanor Sherard, daughter of the late, and sister to the present Earl of Harborough. Sons of the Clergy.— Thursday the Anniver sary of the Corporation of the Sons of the Clergy took place at St. Paul's; when a uidst impressive Sermon was preached by the Rev. L. Gardner, D. D. Assistant Preacher at St. George's Han- over- square, from the 2( 1 Corinthians, ch » p. 6. v. 10. The music consisted as usual of ihe overture of Esther; Handel's Dettingen Te Deum, and Jubilate with the chorus from the Messiah, " Hallelujah, for the Lord God Omni- potent Reigneth ;" and the Coronation Anthem; and an Anthem composed for the Charity by Dr. Boyce, The Band was conducted by Mr. Greatorex. After service, the principal part of the persons of distinction repaired to Merchant Taylor's Hall to partake ( if a feast provided by the Stewards. A curious wager was decided on Tuesday in a field near Exeter: A man undertook to place 100 stones at a yard distance from each other, aud to fetch and put them singly in one place, in 35 minutes, which he accomplished iu 18 minutes, though many of the spectators viewed it as a take- in, he having placed the stones in a circular form, and stationed a basket in the centre, so that he had only a short dis- tance, to walk for each stone. Hail Storm.— An Exeter Paper says—" At a quarter past two on Wednesday afternoon, we were visited by a most tremendous hail storm, which continued for about 12 minutes. The hail- stones were the largest ever seen by the oldest inhabitant many of them measured upwards of an inch and a half in circumference ; some presented ihe shape of a sugar- loaf, in length three quarters of an inch, and halt an inch diameter at the base : they descended w ith such uncommon force, that the passengers were obliged to seek shelter for safety. In several instances the class of sky- lights and garden frames were broken in and the thatch beat from off the houses. A swallow, on the wing, was struck to the ground in the High- street, the same as if brought down by a shot. The trees in Northernhay, the Cathedral yard, and other places, were in a few minutes, stript of their foli- age, and the walks beneath so covered with leaves that it appeared altogether like a sudden transition of the season from Spring to Autumn. The gardens, we fear, have materially suffered ; but there is reason to suppose that the damage is not extensive, as the storm did not seem to spread far beyond the neighbourhood of the city." members of the corporation, and numerous in- habitants ofthe city, went on board a vessel at Ihe bottom of the South Parade, accompanied by a barge belonging to St. James's parish, and went down the river, to tbe extent of the city boundaries, beyond Norfolk- crescent. It was about a quarter past seven o'clock, when the Mayor and some of his friends re- crossed the ferry in safety, and the boat returned for ano- ther party; 20 was the prescribed number, but before the boatman could push off, several ad- ditional persons got on board ; and, as it was feared, proved too heavy a freightage ! When some yards from the shore, and where the river is particularly deep, the boat upset and engulphed the whole party in the water. The disaster spread like lightning through the city, and from every quarter affrighted friends and parents were seen hurrying to the spot, Several they found had saved themselves by swimming, a few by cling ing to the upset boat, while some of their unfor- tunate companions were frantically snatching at their legs ; some individuals were rescued from their impending fate apparently lifeless, by Ihe attending boats, and afterwards restored by the humanity and skill of several medical gentlemen who promptly attended 011 the occasion ; but the following is the mournful list of those who were not extricated till the fatal spark was wholly extinct:— Mr. George Hawkins, aged 40, writing master and accountant, of Oxford- row ; G. Lockyer. aged 30, stoue mason, Orange court ; Charles, aged 16, son of Mr. Vincent, one of the City Serjeant's at Mace; Richard Chippett, aged 16, son of si journeyman carpen ter, apprentice to Mr. Watkins, iu Cheap- street; a son ( aged about 13) of Mr. Dyer, master of the Prince's Head, Bridewell- lane; a sou ( 12) of Mr. Goff, keeper of the city prison. Execution— D. Edwards, convicted at the Breconshire Assizes of cutting the throat of Gwenllian Morgan, who was pregnant by him, with intent to murder her, has been executed at Brecon. About two years ago he became ac- quainted with Gwenllian Morgan, to whom be paid his addresses, and she shewed symptoms of pregnancy ; when, alarmed at the idea of her swearing the child, lie endeavoured to dissuade her from it; but not succeeding, be lured her to a stable, where he cut her throat nearly from ear to ear. A person ill attempting to put hi horse in ihe stable, heard her groans, and 011 forcing the door, found her weltering in her blood! She was just able to name the perpetrator of the brutal act, who was pursued to his father's house, where he was found in bed, with bis clothes on. On the following morning, he was committed to Brecon Gaol. After receiving a respite he was in full expectation of a reprieve, until the moment bis death- warrant arrived. He attempted to break prison, but was promptly prevented. The young woman is recovering. CAPITAL Windmill and Dwelling House, Garden, § c.

My little girl had been extremely ill a long time, she had fits, and her bowels so much affected that • her life, was despaired of, doctors and medicine, were of no avail; we were told that her teeth was the only cause of her affliction. A friend calling upon us who had seen the happy effects of the SYRUP, prevailed upon us to try it; she brought us a bottle and rubbed the child's mouth, and in a few minutes a most astonish- ing alteration took place, the fits left her, and she re- covered as fast as possible, it requiring only a bottle mid a half to perfect the cure. Our sorrow was thus iu a few days turned into joy. . We are, Madam, Your Obliged Servant, Nov. 27, 1816., J. and S. MALlN. No. 3, New John- street, Acton- road, Birmingham.

The Moniteur presents us with a private letter from Spain written for the purpose of throwing dis credit on the opinions which had been circula- ted with regard to the importance of the Cata- loniau conspiracy. The project of the Generals Lacy and Milans is there asserted to have had noother consequences than the arrest of some individuals at Barcelona. The successful con- cealment of Milans is accounted for by his be- ing a native of that country and having formed connexions among the people.. Lacy, we are told, ii to undergo the legal punishment; and pains are taken to assure the world, thatnothing can show more ignorance of the state of Spain than the supposition that the merchants or in- habitants of Catalonia have petitioned the King in his favour.

A long and general onvcrsaiion took place on the third reading of the Savings Banks Bill. An amend- ment moved by Mr. Watson, for leaving out, the clause allowing relief from the poor rates to persons contribu- ting to the Savings Banks, was negatived, and the question for passing the Bill was carried iri the affirm- ative by 60 to 27 — The order for a call of the House on the 2< l was discharged, fixed for ihe 9th of June.— Dr. Phillimore, seeing a Lord of the Admiralty present, wished to know whether it wastrue that the Admiralty had refused to restore to theirowners the vessels taken on our coast by a Tunisian corsair, and retaken by the Alert. Sir G. Warrender . « aid, that at present it would be improper for him to give an opinion on a question that involved so many considerations. Dr. Phillimore said, he did not expect any information about the law of nations, but only with regard to a matter of fact.-- On the motion of Mr. Vansittart, it was ordered that the House, at its rising, should adjourn to this day se'n- uiglit.— The Poor Employment Bill was, after a few words from Mr. Western, read a third time, aud passed. Accounts have, it appears, been received from Lieut. Campbell on whom devolved the command of the expedition for exploring the Joliba, or Niger river, on the death of Major Peddie stating his arrival at the river Nunez, from whence he intended proceeding across the mountains towards Bammakoo the place at which Mr. Park embarked. The merchants of Liverpool interested in the importation of flour from America .- end out tra- vellers generally every spring, to ascertain as precisely as possible the prospect of the wheat and other crops in the ground throughout the country. Last season ten travellers were en- gaged in this particular service ; and it after- wards appeared that ihe report they made on the occasion was generally correct. The same means have been resorted to this season, to as- certain the prosperity of the ensuing harvest; and we are happy to learn that the parties em- ployed have given it as their united opinion that the country at large never stood in a more promising situation for rich and abundant crops of wheat, and of all other sorts ot grain. The trade of the country, we are also glad to learn is greatly improved of late. There are many buyers of English goods from America at pre- sent . in town. Requisitions were presented on Saturday to the Lord Mayor for meetings of the Common Council and of the Livery, to petition against the farther suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act; and his Lordship has in consequence appointed Thursday next for the meeting of the Common Council, and Friday for the Common Hall.

He was worn away to a skeleton, and said he had been wandering about tor many weeks in a most distressed state, as h could get no employment.' The Lord Mayor ordered that he slibuld be committed to Bride- well for seven days, in order to be regularly pas- sed to his parish; ( Waltham, in Northampton- shire), and advised him to remain there until he was restored to health, and then endeavour to get employment in the country, as he was too well known in London to do himself any good. MAIDSTONE, May 27. HOP INTELLIGENCE. SOUTHWARK, M AY- 26.— We had rather more demand last week tor fine Pockets and at higher prices.— The Bug trade is particularly dull. Yesterday being Whit Monday, the various Benefit Societies of this town, met to commemorate the anni- verxary thereof. The morning proving fine, drew together a large concourse of spectators to view this highly gratifying scene. At an early hour the bells rang a merry peal, and at eleven o'clock, the several Societies, amounting to nearly 1300, met in the High- street, and ranged themselves in regular order under their beautiful banners, attended by bands of music, from whence they proceeded to church, where a most excellent and appropriate discourse was deli- vered by the Rev. Mr. Stock, from the 1st of Peter, chap. 3, verses 8and9, in which he in amost eloquent an i impressive manner exhorted them " to he of one mind, and to love one another as Brethren." At the con- c usioii of Divine Service the Societies marched to their respective club houses, where good dinners were provided, and the day was spent in a manner that reflects tin* highest credit on every membei belonging to these most commendable institutions. Yesterday, the anniversary festival of the several Lodges of Freemasons of this county, was held at the Sun Tavern, Chatham, which was numerously attended. The Lodge was opened at 10 o'clock, and after the usual ceremonies the Brethren proceeded in Masonic form to Chatham church, where an excellent Sermon, suitable to the occasion, was preached by the Rev. Brother George Davies, P. G Chaplain. On their r » turn they partook of an elegant dinner at the Sun Ta err., and. spent tlied iv with that order and decorum which generally pervades their meetings. On the night of Thursday last, or early on Friday morning, the parish church of Boxlev, was broken into and robbed of a chest, containing flie parish registers, writings, and a velvet communion cloth, which were afterwards found in an adjoining field, but the com- munion cloth was stripped of its gold lace : a reward has been offered for the apprehension of the offenders. Visitation.— At the late Visitation ( ot: Thursday, the Sib inst .) of the venerable the Archdeacon of Roches- ter ( who is now in his 79th year), the charge delivered on the Occasion was considered so peculiarly inslruc live, and delivered in such an ipipiessive manner, that the Clergy had concluded to solicit the Reverend Pre- late would allow the same to lie printed for theii mutual benefit and edification,; but it appeared thai the. Clergy were not the only persons who could appre- ciate the importance of the subject, for before they could communicate their wishes to the- Archdeacon, it letter was put into his hands from THE CHURCH- WARDENS ( assembled to dinner at the Bull Inn), re- questing the publication of the charge which they had listened to and received with very particular satis faction and approbation. The fourth' annual meeting of the. Chatham Bible Association, was held in Ihe great room at the Sun Tavern, on the ! 9th instant, which notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather, was much, crowded by the friends ot the Bible Society. The Report was read, and it was with the most pleasing surprise we heard that the sum of J. 75 18s. 7d. bad been raised during the last year, chiefly by subscription of One penny per week, by this association alone. There was a number of excellent speeches delivered in the course of the evening, which produced a marked effect upon the auditors; the collection at the door amounted to £ T lis. Od. Tunisian Piracy.— In the House of Commons on Friday night, Dr. Phillimore stated that a vessel under Hamburgh colours, and another under those of Olden burgh, had been recently captured in the British seas by the Tunisians, and afterwards retaken by our ships and brought into the Downs. He wished to know what were the intentions of Government respecting this affair. Sir George Warrender said that the matter involved so many considerations as to prevent the giving an immediate answer. This affair must cer- tainly call for the serious attention of the British Go- vernment. These pirates have presumed to come hostilely and make depredations in our seas; and the pretence they set up is war against the Hanse Towns. Now these ancient commercial towns, with whom we have had so many connexions, are no longer what they formerly were— an independent commercial confe- deracy; some of the most important of them ( Dantzic for instance) are added to the dominions of monarchical states. Those which remain are under the protection of the German Empire, according to the arrangements concluded at the Congress of Vienna. They are not, therefore, states, in such a sense, as that a declaration of war can be made against them exclusively. The pirates probably ventured on their enterprise under the idea that they were weak and defenceless, pos- sessing no marine force. But they have appeared iu seas of which Great Britain has never resigned the lordship, and the security of which is therefore still under her protection. Our protecting rights in this respect are of ancient date, and are amply defended by the great Seidell in his " Mare Clausum." King James the First, 1604 first circumscribed the. right by Order in Council, which states " that within our ports, havens, roads, creeks, and other places of our domi- nion, or so near to any of our said ports or havens as may be reasonably construed to be within that title, limit, or precinct, there shall no force, violence, MII- prize, or offence suffered lo be done, either from man of war to map of war, oi man of war to merchant, or merchant to merchant, of either party. But that all of what nation soever, so long as they shall be within these our ports and places of our jurisdiction, or where our officers may prohibit violence, shall be understood lo be under our protection, to be ordered by course of justice, and to be at peace with each other." The order, goes on to prohibit all such hovering of ships of war, to authorize the seizure of all such vessels which hinder trade outward or inward, and to succour all merchants from such interruptions or hindrance of tiade and traffic. The Tunisians appear to have violated this right, by coming between Orfordness and the North Foreland, a space clearly within the view of this Order. Among the Peers who voted in the Majority on the Catholic Question were, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Earl of Romney, Viscount Sydney, and Lord Har- ris ; also by proxy. Earl Nelson and Lord Le Despencer — In the minority were, the Earl of Darnley and Lord Auckland; also bv proxy, the Earls Cowper and Thanet, and the Bishop of Rochester. Mangel Wuezel.— Two lean Welch bullocks were bought at Harlow Bush, on the 9th of September: they cost together J_ 34 ; they pastured on the rowens till the 20th of November following, when they were tied tip and fed with Mangel Wurzel and cut straw till the 9 h of February, when they were sold together, at Romford market, for the sum of £ 56 ; yielding in 22 weeks a profit of « £ I6, which is equal to 7s, 3d. per week for each bullock. Rear Admiral Rowley arrived at Deal on Wednesday from Sheerness, and hoisted bis flag on board Ihe Ga- nymede frigate. Thursday the Captain and Officers from the Moorish Corsair Karabash, were landed at Deal, and proceeded immediately to the Admiral's of- fice. attended by the Officers of the Royal Navy, on that station, in order, it is supposed to investigate the particulars of the pirates and captured vessels. The Ganymede frigate returned to the Downs on Tuesday night:— she fell in with the Moorish corvette on Monday, off Beachy Head, and chased her t0 the Westward, but was unable to come up with her. The Severn frigatefrom Sheerness arrived onThurs- day in the Downs, to remain there as guard ship in the room of the Ganymede, which is ordered to the Cork Station. The dry rot it is said is making greater ravages among the ships in the navy than it appears formerly to have done, in addition to the defective state of the Scar- borough from this destructive enemy, it seems the Devonshire, also a third rate, at Woolwich, is, if possi- ble, in a worse condition, which was discovered on being taken into dock for repairing. The ship is be- tween four and five years old. and has never been farther from the Thames than to the Nore. This cir- cumstance is no criterion to judge of the cause from whence this mischief originates, for it is found that the Maidstone frigate, that was actively employed on the American coast during the late war, is in a similar state. The attention of those at the head of naval affairs has, it is understood, been sometime directed to this lamentable cause, and it is said directions have been given for experiments being tried to resist the power of this invisible and formidable demon to our " wooden walls," whose power is fell in every build- ing on shore as well as at sea. ' Saturday se'nnight, as the servant of Josias Smith, esq. was engaged in some necessary occupation, in an out- house, belonging to his master, with the door nearly open, he was startled by something which flew violently against his breast, and on closing his arms, he secured a fine cock partridge, which had been pursued by a hawk. On the 24th ult. a servant girl of Mr. Rouse, of Be- nenden, having placed a little child on the edge of copper, containing boiling water, she incautiously left it to go across the kitchen, when dreadful lo relate, the little innocent fell into the liquid, and was so dreadfully scalded, that it died shortly after being taken out. On Tuesday morning last, the travelling cart belong- ing to Mr. Mark Ripley, a Licensed Hawker, of Hel- lingley, in Sussex, was entered during the absence of himself and his wife, who were employed in the sale of bis goods at Beckley, in the same county, and robbed of- 275 guineas and nine silver watches, which were taken by breaking open a chest. Bow STREET.— On Saturday John Ayling was brought to the office, and underwent an examination, charged with aiding and abetting a person of the name of Alice Lever, in shooting at and wounding, with an intent to kill, John Mitchell, a gamekeeper, at St. Paul's Cray, in Kent. It appeared from the evidence of Edwards, one of the horse patrole, that be had been a long time in pursuit of the prisoner, and had at length traced him out, and apprehended him on Shooter's- hill. The pri- soner was committed for a farther investigation. , Commitments to the County Gaol, since our last.
