DR. DERWENT's WORM BEVERAGE, A composition of sanative Herbs, Plants, and Seeds, partly of British, and partly ot foreign growth. 44 Death has his infant train ; his bony afin " Strikes from the Baby- cheek the rosy charm." CRAKBE. Death's powerful allies are Worms ; but his principal auxiliary is Physic, which being administered to children in order to destroy those noxious animals, and being chiefly composed of deleterious and poisonous drugs, destroys ten lives where it preserves one. It never tails to injure the powers ot digestion, and to induce universal debility, with all its baneful consequences. There are many cakes and powders, and various other compositions, advertised for the pre- tended cure of worms; and these drastic doses are administered without the least regard to the delicacy of the patient's constitution. The sole aim ofthe DOCTOR is to expel worms ; and, if any appear, he triumphs in the shew ot success, though " always attended with great danger, and sometimes with death. The faculty themselves, as a celebrated writer observes, have paid too little attention to the medical treatment of children ; and in con- sequence of their superficial knowledge of these important, subjects have sanctioned errors of the most fatal tendency. In an interesting and important work on the nursing and rearing of children, lately published by the celebrated Dr. Buehan, the author says " I cannot help lamenting that confidence in worm- powders or worm- cakes is not confined to the weakest of the fair sex, but is discovered even in men ot rank and talents.

HAZARD, Stock- Brokers, Loudon, though with heart- felt concern, names of the first respectability suu- scribed to certificates of the efficacy of some ot those nostrums. I INNUMERABLE nostrums tor nervous disorders, and debility of body and mind, are so frequently ad- vertised, and puffed with such unblushing effrontery, that the pl'iipr- etor of Dr. TAYLOR'S RESTORATIVE PILLS is unwilling to obtrude Ins important discovery upon ttie public, in a way which is considered disreputable by most medical men who have received a regular and liberal edu- cation Unwilling, however, as he is to put himself in competition with professed Quacks, he must in justice to him- self and to the public slate, that Dr. Taylor's Restorative Pills are tho safest and most efficacious Remedy eveiy yet recommended thus publicly, for weak, nervous, and debili- tated constitutions, aud for all Ihe baleful train of disorders which are Mr sure to overtake those who indulge their in- temperate appetites and desires, or who lead a sedentary and inactive life.— Taken ill a morning, after a night of inebriety end debauch, they immediately restore the stcmach to its { iroper tone aud strength, and expel the noxious fumes of the iquoi, and the consequent pains and giddiness, from the head. It is not perha|> f, too presuming in the proprietor of the Restorative Pills, to pledge himself that 110 other advertised Biedicine for nervous disorders is half so deserving of public approbation as Dr. TAYLba'S RESTORATIVE Pitts.

T 2 of €.•!.!, 000 am far from questioning the integrity ofthe persons who signed such papers j but they certainly knew not What they did. They fancied thev were only attesting a piain matter of fact, though the thing was far beyond the pos ible reach of their judgement or knowledge. They had seen a medicine given to a child, and had also seCn worms after- wards voided by that child. What then ? As the fame effect might be produced by very dangerous poisons, how could people, wholly ignorant ot the ingredients, tell whether the operation ascribed to them was not at the risk of the chilli's constitution, or of its life ?" Instead of such dangerous remedies as those alluded to by that celebrated physician in the above extract, parents are recommended to apply for Dr. Derwent's Worm Beverage, which ought to be kept in constant readiness, to be applied in cases where it is suspected that children are troubled with worms, or are of costive and bilious habits, it contains no poisonous mineral nor deleterious drug 5 yet notwithstanding the mildness and safety of this vegetable compo- sition, it is an effectual remedy for worms of all descriptions, either in inlants or those whoarb arrived at years of maturity, and it expels, gently and securely, the slimy humours in which those noxious ver- min lie in embryo. Being as agreeable as any other palatable liquid, any child will take it, and it has been used by delicate lemales in- stead of tea with the happiest effect. The disorders of infants are generally occasioned by worms, diffi- cult cutting of their teeth, disorders iu their bowels, or costiveness, and in any of these ia: es the Worm Beverage will afford the surest reliel. YVc cannot too often endeavour to impress upon the minds of motheis, that medicines composed of minerals or deleterious mixtures are, in the hands of the inexperienced, or unwary, extremely hazard- ous, and that where vegetable remedies arc to be found, they ought in all cases to lie preferred; and happy would it be for mankind if our ablest physicians and botanists would apply their splendid talents jn further researches into the medical properties of plants and herns, then might wc look forward with some degree of hope, to the ex- clusion of mercury, antimony, and other dangerous poisons, from the pages of our Materia Medical Dr. DERWENT'S WORM BEVERAGE, a purely vegetable mixture, is sold at c2s. 9d, a packet, with lull and important directions, bv * V.

That Gen. Blake; with a large army, had entered Madrid, and that the enemy's force wis retreating from Cadiz, in all directions, and in some disorder.

The letters from Holland now relate chiefly to the tyrannical conduct of the French, in the rigid means Of enforcing the order for the exclusion of British commerce, or in other words the total cxtinctiou of foreign trade; already sunk lo so low a state, thai the exchange of Rotterdam, being no longer a scene of commercial transaction, has been converted into a hat- rack for the French troops. Accounts received from the Mediterranean indued a be'ifif that the Toulon fleet is destined for an expedition against Sicily. A Requisition has been delivered lo the High Sheriff of the county of Berks, with the signatures of several hundred freeholders, for him to call a meeting to take into consideration the late proceedings of the House of Commons against Mr. John Gale Jones, and Sir Francis Bordett, Bart, and other matters connected therewith — and for obtaining an equal representation of the people jn Parliament. This day, about noon, Mr. Sheriff Wood went agaiu in state to the Tower, carrying the Address of tho Livery, in Common Hall assembled, to Sir Francis Burdett. There is ho foundation for the newspaper report that his Majesty is about to undergo the operation of couching, no ca. aract having appeared on either eye to promise any hope of relief from so painful an operation. By a reference to our parliamentary report in last page, it will be seen, that Lords Grey and Gretiville, in furtherance of some important measure about to h « moved by the former, tho' evidently not in support of the present Administration, have openly avowed their joint conviction that a party exists in the country, tha object of which is to miiiead the bulk of the people* hy vilifying Parliament, denying ils privileges, thus Undermining the grand props of the Constitution; which ptivileges they pledged themselves to defend lo the utmost of their power, should circumstances render such defence necessary. A similar declaration, has been made by some of Ihe most staunch of the Whig Mem- bers of ths House of Commons. The following Resolutions of the House of Commons were passed in the popular reign of King William, t ie patron of the Revolution and the Bill of Bights : — " That to assert that the House of Commons is not the only representation of the Commons of England tends to { he subversion of the rights and privileges of tha House of Commons, and the fundamental Constitution of the Government of this country.—" That to assert that the House of Commons have no power of com- mitment, but of • their own members, tends lo the sub- version of the Constitution of the House of Commons. —' « That to print or publish any books or libels, re- flecting on the House of Commons, or any Member thereof,, for or relating to his service therein, is a high violation of the rights and privileges of the House of Commons." The following is the letter from his Majesty to Prince Ferdinand of Spain, alluded to by Mr. WMU bread, in tlie House of Commons, on Monday.

" Silt, av BitoTHEa— I have long wished for an opportunity to transmit lo your Majesty a letter signed in my proper hand, expressing the lively interest and profound regret I have felt since your Majesty has been removed from your kingdom and loyal subjects. Notwithstanding the violence and cruelty with which the Usurper ot the throne of Spain overwhelms tho Spanish nation, it must prove a great consolation to your Majesty, to learn that your people preserve t eir loyalty and attachment to the perso i of their lawful King, and that Spain makes continual efforts to uphold your Majesty's rights, and to re- establish the independ; ence of the monarchy. The resources of my kingdom, my fleets and armies, shall bo employed to assist your Majesty's subjects in this great cause ; anil my ally, the Prince Regent of Portugal, has also contributed to it with ail the Zealand perseverance of a faithful friend — To your Majesty's faithful subjects, as well as your allies, your presence only is wantiug in Spain, where it would inspire a new energy.— 1 therefore entre it your Majesty with all the frankness of the alliance and friendship which bind ine to youi; Majesty's interests; to consider ot the most prudent ' and effectual means of escaping from the indignities you experience, and of shewing yourself among a pedple/ who are uuanimous in their wisljes'for your Majesty's happiness and glory.— 1 annex to'this letter a copy of the credentials which my Minister in Spain is to present to the Central Junta that governs there in the name, and by the authority of your Ma- jesty.— 1 entreat your Majesty to rest assured of my sincere f riendship, atfd of the true attachment . with which I am, Sir, my Brother, your worthy Brother, " ( Signed) GEORUE R.

Ill Germany, an opinion is very generally entertain- ed, that it is the intention of Bonaparte to place tbe Archduke Charles on the throne of Spain; contingent on which event is supposed to be the annexation of the Spanish territory North- east of the Ebro to the empire of France, and tile translation of the accommodating' Joseph to a third Crown, in Poland. Napoleon is ile- scribed to be the most uxorious man iu his kingdom, and as exposing himself by an excess of folly and absurdity in the idolatry of his passions, to the derision of his subjects. It is said in one of the letters ( par raillerie we presume), that he has made his Consort a Privy Counsellor, that, whether engaged in his busi- ness, or involved in his pleasures, he may always enjoy her society. It is added, that, lest the cxpected pn- geuy from this happy union should be a female, he proposes to abrogate the aalique Law, which for so many centuries lias regulated the succession to the diadem of France.

The Mail from Malla is said to bring positive assur- ances of the Grand Seignor's determination to maintain inviolably his treaty of alliance with Great Britain, and, if requisite, to support it with all his forces.

His Lordship briefly stated, that Ins counsel, Mr. Ganow, litid desued linn to inloini tbe Speaker, that a notice ot process, at tne sun oi - tr Francis Buietett, bad been seived upon turn, as Constable eif llie Toner; that he did not tolicit the iuteivciiuou ot the Speaker, but had directed his solicitor to detenu tiie action, resting his detlcncc on the Speaker's Wanaut, and ou ihe uistiuniioiis he received from the Secretary ot Slate, ' llie letter was referred to the Commiitte. Mr. Li. GICBY brought a repoit troth the Committee ap- pointed to consider the notices ot process against the Speaker, fkc ; which was lead by the Clerk. 1 he leport slated, tuai the committee, in obedience to ihe order of the House, had examined precedents, and had found iiiiuie. ous instances oi peisuns having been committed by the Hun t: ot Commons, foi a bieach ot thai pail of us p, ivneges, winch consisted in the hbi rty ol speech > and it was always considered, thai s. ch coniuntiueui. wcie necessary, towards uiaiutaiciug tue dignity ol the House. Tint opinion was also supported by analogies lo eithei Courts; but those weie topics which tin Committee would reserve lor another Report. The practice ot the House had Lien, to viud. cu * its own authuiny by us own acts. Ileie the Kepe< it euuitieiated several cases, otcui liug as lar back as the time ot Henry the Eighth, to shew that the House hail constantly asserted its right to lretduin u.. speech, and punished those who attempted to question thai right. One leuuukable case was, that nl two Member* ol tin House bung slit., in Ihe Court e. t" King's Bench, m ttie lillb year ct Charies the First, tor the speeches made by 1' ieun— Juelguieut was given against them ; and the House deul& ieu . the autbvrt of the piosecution guilty ot a high bieach ut Us privileges, and proceeded to punish them accordingly, ' liie. Cuilltl. itite fuiujbr stated, ttiat persons couimHted try the House, who bad litcu hiought beiore the Couits by Habeas Corpus, were unituiuily ditcnatgtd by sucli Courts, as tliej would not interfere with the Privileges eif liie Hcuse. In casts' ot pioceedmgs adopted against Members, the House had tie quenllv ordeteil such proceedings to be rtnvpd. Or. the whole, ft appeared to the Cnmmitt. p that the brin? lrisr of actions to acts dime hy order of the House, was a breach of the privilege' of the House ; and ihnt the House fn- d a r'tsht to commit nersont servtnc notices of « uch actions. Tfut it appeared the committee, that thouch the « olici'nr serving the nottc micht he committetl, vet the notion would sro on. unless othe steps were taken. The committee wa « of oninion, that tin H' use rni^ ht permit the Snealter and the Reneant to nlend t' the actions, so as to prove the ati'horitv bv which thev bai' acted ; and thai the House should also sive di eellons r. | ? uursel to defend the Speaker and the Servant. Mr Gidrlv sa'd therf were three different mo ' es. according to which the House micht conduct, i'self in ' his case The na'h hi- himself would have reca'nme. r. ded was. to issue an inhibition against the interference of any Court, in matters affecting thi privileges of the House ; but, except in some special ipstan ces, it din not appear that such a step had ever heen taken; mid it was not considered fi' to act upon il now. The nex' proceeding would he, to commit thf persons who bad dared to se » ve the process ; hot that would not prevent the actions fi t hi go; rg on The third mode of proceeding was. to inform the Cot tt- belnu- of an intention to plead, either bv denying the jurisdiction of such Courts, or bv pleading in bar. If the House dcteimir. ed to plead to tbe inrisdicfion. such pie: must te entered immediately. He then moved tbat the report c'o lie on the table. Lord MILTON thought the House ought to pr. u « e befnreit agued to the motion now marie, antl maturelv consider the fa'ttl c. ns. quences that migh^ en- ne from tbe recommendation contained in the report. Were the privileges of the House, he asked, to depend on the decision of the Omit of King's Beech? If any one privilege was to he discussed there, who could tell whether every other p'ivilege might not he at- tacked. He trusted the IT use would never give away any of those privileges, which were the greatest bulwark of the Constitution ; and one of the greatest inroads in their privi- leges would be, to suffer the Speaker to appear at the bar of the Coutt of King's Bench.-— Lord For KPSTONE thought the whole proceedings oupht to have b-'. ri left to the due course of law. He thought the pleading in bar was the best mode of proceeding.— Mr. WHITSREAP w- ts averse to this premature discn- siou, and thought the right bon. cent, opposite, ( Chan- cellor of the Exchequer,) and his friends who had brought them into their difficulty, ought to state their opinions, anrl I not now be allowed to gath- r from the feelings on tbe other sitle, the mode in which they might procure a vote to bear them through Mr. W. WYNN considered this fobs tbe doctrine and law of Parliament— that every thing relating to the privileges of the H< use should be determined in that House. If ever Ihe House deviated from that practice, its ruin wriuld be tbe consequence. Was the Court of Kiing's Bench, which was an inferior Court, to think of giving redress itr any act done by a chamber of the High Court of Parliament ? As well might a Court of Quarter Sessions attempt to revise the proceedings of the King's Bench— The ATTORNIY GEN'. RAL applauded w hat the preceding speaker bad sairl, and entirely agreed w: th hitn that the House was tbe sole judge of its own privileges ; and no other Court had a right to interfere with tnem.—- Mr. PONSONBY thought nothing w- as more mischievous than this piemat'ure discussion. The laying of the report on the table, was of no more detriment than his throwing his hat on the table would be ; and after that, he hoperl Minis Itrs would muster up courage enough to tell the House wha- Course ' hey meant to pursue.— Mr. GIODY said, a noble lordt ( Milton) thought that no steps should he taken at all ; but if such should be ihe case, the action and damages might go against the Speaker. Not anticipating that any person would be hardy enough to contend against the House, the Constitution bad cot provided against an event of this kind. He then moved that the Speaker ar. d tbe Seijeant should be permitted to plead to the actions; and that the Attorney General be directed to defend them.— Mr. PONSONBY asked if this was the course recommended by Ministers.— Mr. PERCEVAL an- wered, it w as the course he. would have advised. Mr. PONSONBY, ( in a speech allowed by all sides of the H . use to be one of the soundest, ablest, and most consti- tutional ever delivered there), stated it as his serious belief that *', ie liberties of the People, and the Constitution, were in- volved in the decision of this question, His opinion was, that the Privileges ot ( he Commons must be supported. The two Houses of Parliament were the sole Judges of their own Pri- vileges, and how they ought to be exercised ; and that there was no Court tiiat should presume to meddle with them. H s nekt position was, that the Colitis of Law were bound to respect these Privileges, l i order to prove what he asserted, he quoted Lord Hale, who declared the Privileges of the Houses of Parliament to be the Law of the Land, and that the Houses hart judicial power. Bldckstone said, that no power but Parliament itself coutil decide on the Privileges of Parliament, and that the. peifection of these Privileges con- si- ted in their being indefinite ; because, if any catalogue ot tnem should be made out, it would be in the power of tiie Crown to find out suniething not included in that catalogue, by which the I'ailiaoieiit might be ovqrthinwn. The next authority he quoted was Judge Atkins, who contended that the House had a judicial power. There must be a discretion- ary power somewhere, and where could that power he so properly lodged us in tiie hands of Pailiarnent f The Judges peatedly declared, iliat the House are Judges of its ivileges, and the House have declared, that it pos- nege-; therefore he ( Mr. P.) was estopped fiom saying the House did not possess them The giealest characters i! f the nation, Lord Sinners, Sir William Maynard, Sir Joseph Jekyll, & c. had stood forth the supporters of the Privileges of the House cf Commons; and Ins ( Mr. l'.' s) hand would tremble, So as to rentier him incapable of acting if he were to stretch it forth to pull down the constitutional f'lbnc which they had fciecled. The honourable member then proceeded tn icarl several quotations from an opinion ot Lord Chief Justice Wiluiot, iu which that leaned Judge states that tne pow er the Courts have of vindicating their lights was coeval with their institution; so also were the Privileges of Parliament, and the issuing of process fur con tempt was as much within Magna Cliatta as any other law ; it that doctune were denied, it might with equal propriety be said, that the Canon and Ecclesiastical Law were trot con- stitutional, because not within Magna Churla. it had been said it wa » a monstrous and absurd thing for persons lo be accusers, judges, jurors, anil executioners in their own cause — ii as noi t hat tiie case wilh the Judges of the land, m cteiy case iu which they committed for contempt, yet had they ever been chaiged with acting absurdly in exercising that power ? In liie present case fce thought it wtuld be uio.- i prudent to keep as near the ancient course of proceeding as possible. He nat! 110 hesitation in saying, that had he stood in tiie situation oi Minister uf the Country, he should in the first instance have advised the Huuse to commit the Solicitor who served the process upon the Speaker ; and posterity sl. oula not nave had tne power to poiul hull out as being lhe man, who, for fear of popular clamour, had betrayed ihe Coiistitutiuii. He was not prepared lo say that committing the Solicitor would stop the proceedings ; tiro Lord Chancellor when lie issued an injunction to stay proceedings was not suie that injunction would lie obeyed ; but if it was found that the paity still pioceeded, the Chancellors then proceeded to act against linn, and commuted him. It certainly would be a novel case for the Speaker ot Hie House ut Commons to attend and plead iu the Conifof King's fieiich, yet, novel as it was, he ( Mi. P.) was of opinion he slwuld doit. It did not appear lo him to be. a measuie attended with that danger, which tome persons imagined. When he ln. d the houuur ot Holding the Seal ot Iielaud, if upon his committing a person for contempt, an action had been brought against him, he should have felt no hesitation iu committing the Solicitor bringing the action ; yet he should certainly have pleaded to the action, lu his eipunon, the Courts below uiust have juris diction to the extent of enquiring into the action biovght j fore them ; unu h.. vv was that lo be done bui by Ihe Speaker pieading tu the action. He luought the Speaker should go In tue Court, and say— The House of Parliament is sitting, and 1, the Speaker, have, by older ot tile House, done cei tain acts, for wliicn au actum lias been commenced against me ; Out in this action you can give no judgment; ibe question relates to the privileges of the House of Commons, wniuh you cannot enqune into." — If, alter this, the Judge should proceed, h « would go beyond his power. He thought, how ever, no Juogv would entertain a desire to proteed ; and, il lie enteilamed the desne, be would not presume tu proceed In what would be a gross violation ol his duty. ' fhe CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, he was not dis- posed lu itgrel ihat the questiou had been brought to the test, ot abetter tiie House line) Ihe powel lo dc- teud lit piIV1 eges. if the House did not possess a I gul power ut protecting tlietn, he was persuaded they possessed the power of protecting iliem cuustuiilwHuUy. He was convinced tlieie was tiojudg. in ihe land, who, w. ieu the question was slated lohiin lu iciat, iu the privilege* uf tue Huuse ot Commons, would not say— 1 iiuve uu power lo determine." ' Iheretoie he had no ap pitbt- ii&. on ut endangering the Privileges of that House in 111. tuuise tiiej were abnut to adupt. He trusted there would be no ditleieiice ut epi'iitiu in the House upon the present ques- tion ; aud if the huuse should dcleiuane to summon the OtUcit- ir who had seivtd ihe useless and itiugalory notice jn lite Speaker, lo tne Bar, and to'commit turn, he ( Mr. P. j sUuu. d be much btitci tailzied that the ci'inui men took " place " after the vote of the present, evening, than rrvMius to it.— Mr. W. WYNN strongly con'endel for ' he Solicitor heiog brought to ihe Bar.— Sir C ROMILLY • bought tbe action against tbe Seijeant at Arms ws< the main - Miestion rh this case; namelv, whether he had exceeded hi- nithoritv in the mode of executing Ihe warrant. With regard ' o ' he action against the Speaker, be was satisfied that the - vrodnction of Ihe warrant might be a sufficient bar lo the • ction. vet be doubted whether, as in most other cases, there nsigh' nor 1)" an appeal to a superior Court. — Mi. WINHHAW was decidedly of opinion tbat the Privileges of that House wpte not cognizable in n Court of Law.— The A iTifssy GENERAL was also of opinion, that, the House bid a right, to decide upon its own privileges, which must be fi ' al and con- clusive in anv Court in which it may be pleaded.— Mr. W. SMITH was deeidedlv of opinion, that the privileges of the House, sncb as our ancestors enioved, should be maintained. — The motions were then agreed to. The House went into a Committee of Supplv ; when, after- some observations from Sir C. Pole, the sum of 1.511,715/. was voted for the ordinaries of the Navy, and an addition ol I5', 000 men for the service. 10o0t0cnpt. have own P fcesfced this LONDON, Monday JV* i< rJtt% May 14, 1810, Letters from Hamburgh to the 7th ins!, contain the intelligence of the resignation of Count Bernstoff, Prime Minister of Copenhagen, and also that of the Minister for Foreign Affairs. The cause is attributed to the pertinacious obstinacy of his'Maiesty the King of Denmark, in his adherence to what is called the Continental system, in compliance with the dictates of France. The Mail from Gt. ttenburgh brings intelligence that American vessels are not excluded from Swedish ports, as was expected. All the American ships which arrived after the 24th ult. to the period of the last letters coming away, were admitted at Gottenburgh. There are more vessels at present there, than have been re- membered at one time for some years. Dispatches are paid to be received by Government from Cadiz, of the 1st inst. which state that the French are throw- ing up works on the rear of Matagorda. In consequence of the fall of that fortress, and of the operations now carrying1 on by the enemy, it has been thought advisealve to have the British ships hauled out of the range of the hostile batteries ; and a similar piecaution has been used with respect to the Spanish ships. Gen. Blake has arrived at Cadiz, and taken the chief com- mand of the troops at that place, Gen. Castnno- havincr the duties of the Government to attend to. Five thousand of Blake's army have, \,\ consequence, been ordered round from Alicant to Cadiz, and transport^ have : heady been sent to convey them to that destination. The aspect of things at Cadiz has h id a favourable alteration since the arrival of Gen, lilake, solely from the exertions of that patriotic Officer. Geo. Cuesta is appointed Governor General of the Balearic Islands ( Majorca, Miuorca, & c.) the future expected refuge of the Spanish Government. Tnis appoiutmett is 3aid by some to be recommended by the Council of Cas ile, and by a certain party at Cadiz. Joseph Bonaparte is said to have reached the French army on the 29th ult. They had not received any reinforcement before Cadiz up to that day. Mortier's corps still remained in Estremadura. Iu the mean time the allitd troops were busily employed in throwing up batteries at Puutales; a covert way was making from Cadiz to Puntnles, and from Puntales to the island on the rig. llt of the high road, in order to secure the communication. By a Heligoland Mail, which arrived last ti! ht, we have some further reports, respecting the lately mtditated insur- rection in Sweden, in favour of the son of the deposed Gus- tavus. The people are, repiesertted as still waiting for an opportunity to declare then S - Ives ; and it is not impossible, that the appearance of the Briiiiih fleet, may inspire them with confidence to proceed to dpeo action. A private letter from Stockholm, supposes that the British operations are intended to favour a counter- revolution ; but this, at ptesent. we consider as mere speculation. Lord Moira, the Speaker ut the Hoti « je of Commons, and the Serjeant- at- Arms, fte understand severally pleaded, on Saturday, to the several actions brought against tbfctis by Sir Francis Burdett. The Duke of Rutland is said to have gone over to Opposi- tion, in consequence of Lord Chatham's dismissal fiotrf office. Three per cent. Consols 70 J SHREWSBURY, Wednesday, May 16, 1810.

Arrongst Ihc manv pathrtic addresses that have ap- peared, under the title of " Lines to Mv Mother," " My Father," & c. it is a matter of surprise that meritorious class of relatives, the UNCLES, a class most particularly valued in every family, while unmarried, should have been entirely overlooked. The following tribute is offered lo " the worth of one who was the chief source of many boyish sports, and who now often indulges in a hearty laugh at the recital of those tricks of which he himself was the chief promoter.

My Uncle, Who taught trie, when I went to school, To scorn old Wiesbv's birrhen tool, Though flourish'd o'er the flogging- stool ? My Uncle. Who taught me how to form tbe bath Of mod, along our Usher's path, Arch'd neatly o'er with grass aud lath ? My Uncle. Or who the hissing squib to mould, The bouncing cracker firmly fold, To terrify the village Scold ? My Uncle. Or search for eockchaffers the twig Of tvranroie, or shelt'ring fig, And stick them in our Master's wig ? My Uncle.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS, lord FRSKIME said, that the bill for preventing wanton and malicious cruelty to animals, which was now before tbe House, had been altered by tbe omission of one word, " Peat." anil the alteration of o clause, making it impossible for the infoimer to obtain bis reward, unless he proved that tVe enirral bad been maimed, cut, or otherwise wantonly mid m'tlicmrsly abused.— Lord ELLF. NBOROCGH gave all credit and applnnse to the principles on which the bill was intro- duced ; but that clause he could not agree to, as it would be removing unhappiness from the brute to place it on our fellow creatures. He could not foment to having a clause in the bill which would put it in the power of any man to indict another before a magistrate lor Otherwise abusing'' an animal; since a person might be sometitres necessitated In urge an animal to more than its convenient speed.— Loid ERIKINE said, the clause was '' or otherwise wantonly and nialiciimh abusing." Tbe bill was read a second time, on his lordship's motion, and ordered to be committed to- morrow. ADDRESS TO HIS MAJESTY. Fail GREY said, that wherever be turned his eyes, at the present crisis, whether to Ihe altrost unlimited power of our inveterate enemy abroad, or tothe transactions that were taking place at home, he saw nothing but what tended to excite sentiments of alarm in his breast, such as he had not, on any former occasion, experienced. At home, he saw a party was laised, which appeared to have no object but to delude tbe people to their ruin ; and by disputing the ancient ( ind established Privileges of Parliament, to destroy first the confidence of the People in tbe Parliament, and afterwards to destroy the Constitution. He contended, that, without that privilege, which the other House had lately claimed and exerted, it would be impossible for it to pioteet itself, and its proceedings;— impossible for it to exist. He did rot mean to defend the mode in which that privilege had been exeicised ; but it was indisputable, that tbe other House of Parliament did, and ought, to possess such a privilege ; and they possessed it from reason and fiom ancient usage. The partv with which he had the honour to be connected, had been falsely ( he hoped not maliciously) stated, to be ready to rally round his Majesty's present Ministeis. So far from that, be expressed his full conviction, and that of the party with which he was joined, that his Majesty's present Ministers are totally incapable of meeiirg the exigenc ies of tbe times. No man in the kingdom could be more favourable to Reform than himself; but it must be that Itefnini which can be procured through the means pointed out by the Constitution ; that Constitution, which he had at all times looked up to, as the most perfect model of human and political wisdem. His lordship concluded his spetch, by declaring bis intention of supporting the diguiiy and Privileges ot Parliament, to tbe utmost of his power; and by giving notice, that on this day tluce weeks, lie intended to move a detailed Addiess to his Majesty. The Eatl of LIVERPOOL was rejoiced to see, that whatever party feelings might prevail in thai House, they were agreed as to the present unfortunate temper of the times. He agreed entirely with all that the noble lord bad said, except what regarded his Majesty's Ministers, in whose name he claimed a right of full explanation of their views and conduct, whenever Ihe question came to be fairly discussed. He hoped, however, that before that time, the noble lord would declare mcue partic ularly ihe ol jtet of his proposed Address. Lord UIIENVILLE thought no notice hatl been ever more fairly slated, than that which his noble friend had just given; namely, a detailed Addiess to his Majesty. He deprecated in strong terms the patty whii h seemed to be deluding the people to then ruin, under a pre tence of attac k- ing and resisting the Vriv leges of Parliament;— privileges which Parliament had enjoyed since Ihe eaily part of Ihe rule of the House of Sluart;— privileges which had never been abused, and were not at fiist gianted unless for the welfaie and advantage of the. people. It was a time when all the luvers of tuie Older and good government ought to rally, and he for one would rally— not lound bis Majesty's present Ministeis, but round the Parliament; round Ihc Constitution of tiie Countiv. Lord ERSKINE said, lie was as much a lover of the Pail tune- til aid Constitution as any man; but hu could ne t conse nt to have the privileges of Parliament set above the law. The question would soon come before his noble friend ( Loid I II. i borough) and be would decide inipaitjally accoiding to the law ; with which decision he bad no doubt the people would be satisfied. If Lend E. lciiborough found that by law he must decide against the privileges of the House ot Commons, ihey must not deal with hiln as they did witb another object ( we suppose Sir F. Peuiberton). tor his part l> t would ratlin die, ( and he begged to be understood as using the word literally), than support the privileges of either House of Parliament, against the written law of the laud, HOUSE OF COMMONS. THE KING OF SPAIN. Mr. WHITBREAD said, that having seen in the public prints a le tter, ptiiporting to be a letter from bis Majesty to the King of Spain ; he rose lo a- k the right lion, gentleman opt Csite, whether thai was a genuine leiter ?— The CHAN- CELLOR of the KXCIIIOCFR replieo that it would be incon- venient 10 the public service to give any answer to this question. PRIVILEGES OF THE HOUSE. The SPEAKER sulci, he wished to call the attention of the House to the tuo pi. pets lately sent to him, containing notices of actions, intended to be brought against him by Sir F Buidv- tt. He requested that the House would consider what pioceedmg ought to be had on a mailer of so great importance.— Mr. PERCEVAL said, he thought the best MODE was to appoint a Select Committee, to consider what pro « ceedings ought to be bad upon the subject He then made amotion for appointing the Committee, who should report such facts as they might think necessary, with tneir opinions thereon, tothe House. Mr. WHITBIPAD expressed his surprise, that the right hon, gentleman should delay ( this motion to the very time of the proceedings being on the point of adoption. It was evident, that the light lion, gentleman had no fixed principle nf action, and sooner than incur any fresh difficulty by pro- ciastination, he would vote against the motion.— Mr. PON SONBT thought it better, that the Committee should report facts than opinions.— Mr. TintNI Y said, no Committee of that House ought tn have the liberty of declaring what were the privileges of the House. He therefore promised to leave out that part of tbe motion, which directed lhat the Com- mittee should report an opinion. — Mr. DUNDAS said, systematic design had been formed against the piivileges of tbe House; and the House most now decide whether the. same were to be abandoned or supported.— Sir ARTHUR PICOT said, he would be ready to raise his voice, feeble as it was, against the novel and dangerous doctrines that were now- spread abroad by a set of people who wanted to delude the Public, for the purpose of accomplishing their own designs. I He would, to the utmost of his power, support the privileges I of the House of Commons, of which he never doubted, atid which the House should never part with. The House pos sesseil legislative, inquisitorial, and judicial functions, all of which were essential to its existence. He did not mean thai it had these privileges by construction, but that, as a judicial body, the House had a full power to inflict punishment for offences against itself. Without this privilege, the House could not exist. His opinion could not be affected by the daily trash which he was in the habit of reading, and which denied the power of the House of Commons to punish for a libel. It had a right to punish for all libels reflecting oil itself and at; u< ing its proceedings. The House had no other means to vindicate its dignity. It could not bring an action It could not prefer an indictment. Yet tbe disciples of Ihe new school asked why were not offenders against it sent to be tried by a Jury ? How could that be done? Whv, the House must first supplicate the King to direct a prosecution, and it remained at the discretion of the Crown whether their privileges were to be maintained or not. Might it not happen in some future reign, that the Sovereign would refuse that request, and think such refusal a good opportunity of destroy- ing the House of Commons? In such a case a despotic King and a set of despotic Reformers would be promoting the same object. It was the daily practice of the miserable pretendeis to public favour— these self created guides of the public opinion— lo goon crying down the House of Commons, and telling the people that its votes were becoming worse and worse every day ; until at last they should be able to accom plish their purpose, of having no House of Commons at all.— These were the poisoned doses which tbe disciples of the new school were constantly administering; and no pains were taken to counteract this poison. If this question, after being tried by a Court of Law, came afterwards before the House of Lords, then the other branch of the Legislature would have to judge of tbe privilege's of that House. Suppose Ihe Lord (. haucellor, immediately after committing a man for con- tempt, should receive fit m au Attorney, then present in bis Court, a notice of action for false imprisonment, would he not be justified in committing snch Attorney also for con tempt ? He would oppose the Committee, uilless the amend inent of his right hon. friend ( Mr. Tierney) was adopted. The SOLICITOR GENERAL observed, that no such proceeding as an aclion against, the Speaker, for obeying an oidei of the House, ever tonk place. It was generally admitted that something should be done : but it was not more the duty Ministers to do this than any other members. The act that had been done, was the act of tne House — The motion for Committee was further supported by the Solicitor General and the Chancellor of the Exchequer ; and opposed by Mr. Windham, Sir T. Turton, and Mr. Adam; a division then look place on Mr. Tiemey's amendment— For it 58, against it 115— Mapirity 57.— The motion of the Chancellor was then put, and carried by 116 against 46— Majority 10, HVERY ADDRESS. Mr. Alderman COMER brought forw ard his promised motion relative to the conduct of Ministers, in lefusing to permit the Sheriffs of London to present the Address of the Livery ot London to his Majesty in person. He. took an extended view of the r ght of the Livery of London to present their Addresses and Petitions to his Majesty, sitting on his throne, and cited several instances in which they had done so, and several instances in which they had been denied that piivilege, and told, that at the Levee only could their Petitions be received. In December last, however, the Livery, in Comtnou Hall assembled, had agreed to an Address to his Majesty ; and taking into consideration the state of his Majesty's health, they came to a resolution to waive the l right of presenting it to his Majesty seated on the throne, ( a tight which they had never waived before), aud to pre- sent it at the Levee, and the Sheriffs weie accordingly directed to wait on his Majesty, to know when he would be pleased to receive the same. On application to the Secretary of State, however, they were informed lhat his Majesty's health was such as would not permit him to receive their Addiess at the Levee, and that it must be left at tbe Office of the Secretary of State. This Ihe Livery bad refused to comply with ; and thus they bad been deprived of an oppor- tunity of laying their grievances before his Majesty at all. He did not conceive himself called upon to urge any right which tne Livery bad not themselves urged, but he was icady to contend, that as his Majesty held a Levee at that period of time when the Address was agreed to, the Sheriffs ought to have been permitted to present the Address to his Majesty in person ; and that wheever had advised his Majesty not to re- ceive it, had been guilty of a gross violation of the rights and ptivileges of Ihe Citizens of London. The hon. member con- cluded, by submitting a motion to the House to that effect.— Sir W. CURTIS, Sir C. PRICE, and Sir J. SHAW, shortly sup- ] ported the motion.— Mr. Secretary RYDER opposed the motion, contending-, th it Ihe Livery had no such right; that such a practice did exist, be admitted, but that practice was con- tinued only for five years, and never was again revived. He solemnly aveired, that to the best of his knowledge, eveiy Petition which had been forwarded through the Secretary of State's office, had been duly presented to bis Majesty.— Lord FOLKESTONE said, he supported this Petition, not because it was ihe Petition ol the Livery of London, but because it was the petition of tbe subjects ol" the realm, who, until late years, had an undoubted aud undisputed right to petition.— Mr. R. DUNDAS considered that the light of the Livery bad been given up; and it would be quite impossible for his Majesty to gel through the public business, if every one who chose lu petition insisted on his right of an audience for that purpose. — Or. HORNER said, the right of petition was a fundamental part of the constitution : it was the settled and constitutional right, but should be exercised with due moderation and respect. He had no hesitation in saying,| the language of the petition lately presented was highly indecorous and improper.— The right of petitioning the King, be however contended, was one of tbe first privileges of the subject, and therefore decidedly suppoi ted the motion.-- The question being loudly called lor, the House divided, when Ihe numbers were— Fur tbe motion 52— Against it 13S. HOUSE OF LORDS— TUESDAY, MAY 8. CRUELTY TO ANIMALS. The House having gone into a Cum m it lee on the bill for Preventing Wanton and Malicious Cruelty to Animals, Lord Ei LENBukoUGii wished to have, one ol the clauses ulteied before lie could give a vote for the bill— the clause was, " ma- liciously aud wantonly cutting, wounding, or otherwise mann- ing," for which he proposed lo substitute, " killing, stabbing, or maiming."— The wo. d " cutting," tor instance might be strained to cutting with a whip ; and although using a spur was a species of Slabbing, yet he thought it less objectionable than tbe lornier wind.— Lord EKSKINE entered at some length into the merits of the bill. He contended, that such would be its beneficial effects in establishing the duties of humanity and morality, that it would form a new iera in tbe annuls of man- kind. All r some fori her observations from Lord Elleuboiougb, ihe Lord Chancellor, Lord Lauderdale, Loid Redesdaie, ami Unci Holland, w ho thought tbe duties of morality aud hu- manity had better be taught by the Ministers of the Gospel than enforced by legislative authority, tiie bill was oidered lo be recommitted on the 15th. HOUSE OF COMMONS. LIVERY PETITION. Sir W. CURTIS said, lie held in Ins hand » petition from the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Livery ot Loudon, in Com- mon Hall assembled, complaining of grievances arising from Ihe conduct ol this House. The language of tbe p'titiou was not altogether what he approved ; it having, how ever, been adopted by a large body of the Livery, constitutionally as stinbled in Common Hall, be felt it to be his duty, as one ol the representatives of Ihe city of London, to present it. He should, therefore, although the sentiments it contained were not, his sentiments, nor, he believed, the sentiments of a ma- jority of tlic Livery, move that the Petition De lead — I he Petition having been reiau by the Cleik, Sir W. CURTIS moved, that it do lie ou the table. Mr. Secietary KYDER observed, after what had fallen from tbe hem. Baronet, namely, that although this was a Peiitiun trom a large body of the Livery, yet it did not convey the sense of fee majority, he should feel less reluctance to op- 1 posing its bring received. The present Petition was drawn in; with great art and addiess, to avoid, in appearance, the oh jeption which was made to the Middlesex Petition ; b it was i' possible for any person to read that now before the House and not pe ceive that, throughout, it was intended to qonvev an insult to the House, and that it was presented with no other object but to degrade the House of Commons in the opinio- of the people ? and should the House suffer such document- to lie on the table, it would deserve to be held up to mockery, nd to be degraded in tbe opinion of its constituents. Alderman COMBE was surprised to hear the right bon. Secretary object to the Petition on the grounds of its not' having been adopted at a meeting where all the Liverv were present. The Livery amounted in all to upwards of 12,000, and it was impossible to collect them all together. The meet- ing, however, from which this Petition came, and at whicn he was present, amounted at least to 3000 in number, and out of that number he did not think there w ere 50 dissentient voices. He had seen an account In the papeis of a counter meeting of the Livery, which had been held, and in the list of those who attended he perceived 10 or 12 as respectable names as any in London, some of whom he saw at the Common Hall. Those gentlemen did not then oppose the present Petition, and tbey alledgc as a reason, that the Livery assembled would not permit them to deliver their sentiments. That certainly might be a fact; he believed it was so at all popular assemblies; but, although they could not have spoken in opposition, yet there was nothing to have prevented their holding up their hands against it. Sir C. PRICK observed, that having been present at the on the grounds that the doors nf the Hduse should he alwAv ® ' - vnen to the reaj'fir even imaginary complaints of grievances ' tAwtver strong the language in which they were conveyed '' hen the nponle were irritated, it was natural tbev should deliver themselves stronglv. If Ihe present petition was re- iectrd, they would have thousands, pe- hups more courtly n • heir language, but certainly more irritating and insulting i rlieir nature. There was not one circu nstanoe of an insult imr or disrespectful tendency in ihe petition. The House had no right to couple tbe complaint of the Petitioners nod tin resolutions come to at the meeting, with which they hail nothing to do. If the resolutions were violent and offensive, it was a strong instance of forbearance that the petition to the House was not so. Its beinsr signed by so few, was owine to its being tbe custom of the Livery to observe that form.— The people earnestly prayed fir Reform, but it was only the corrupted and unsound part of the Representation they Were anxious to reform. Mr. POXSONBY could not believe there was a studied insult in this paper, as it would have been most unwise to offer insult to that authority from which they expected redress to come; he should therefore vote for the petition being re- ceived. He noticed with some warmth an observation of Mr. Wardle. who, after asking where vvas the dignity and iustiee. of the House in the cases of Mr. Perceval and Lord CRstlereagb, said, be did not so much blame them, as the House for covering them. He ( Mr. P.) was never fond of indiscriminate abuse, but if he entertained suspicions of any paitv, it was of those who claimed all political virtue. As far as his experience in life went, he never knetv men claim- ing to be a great deal better than other people, but at some future period they turned out to be worse.— Mr, Wardle said, be had not accused them of shielding the persons accused meeting, he telt himself called upon to deliver bis sentiments. He never had entertained an idea that the House of Commons had assumed anv piivilege which it vvas not fully authorised in but of the defence set up, that tie practice was well known, assuming; and he trusted thev would not be intimidated into — A division took place, when there appeared for receiving a desertion of their rights. He wished, as did many other gentlemen who attended the Common Hall, to have delivered his sentiments, but he was prevented ; and be was ready to assert that a majority of the Livery did not approve of Ihe Petition. He did not mean to assert lhat a majority of a idy of the Livery, legally assembled, had not a right to adopt an address, and that it was not tbe duty of their representa- tives to present it to the House ; but he would go no further; be would not lend himself to aid in supporting a measure which had for its object to degrade the House of Commons in the opinion of the people. Sir J. SHAW said be was present at the Common Hall, which certainly was a legal assembly, and therefore authorised adopt an address or petition to the House. He supposed there were near 2000 persons present, but if he were asked whether the majority of tnese persons were, liverymen, lie should find it difficult to answer iu the affirmative. There had since been a counter meeting and petition, which petition had already been signed by upwards of 1400 respectable liverymen, a number in his opinion exceeding those present in the Common Hall. Having promised at the Common Hall to present the petition, he felt it bis duty to do so, and to sup- port the motion for its lying on the table. Mr. WHITBREAD could see no grounds for rejecting the present Petition; in his opinion the language of it was fully justified bv the conduct of the House. He would ask, where was the justice, where was the dignity of the House, when its shield was thrown over I/ ird Castlereagh and the hon. S. Perceval, to protect them ? That transaction was recorded ou the Journals, yet was it expected that the people would approach the House with deference and respect. The Livery hail called on the House to letrace and reconsider steps whicn ibey called illegal, and he ( Mr. W.) rash, inconsiderate, and absurd. Future Petitioners must not come as the men of Middlesex had done, nor must they come as the men of Loudon had done ; but they must come as the Electors ol Westminster did, whose language vvas the strongest of the three. The I resent Petition however, contained no language so strong as what had already been placed on the Journals by the House itself; he therefore thought it should be received. Mr. WILBERFORCE thought a subject of the importance of that at present belore the House, was deserving of the most delibeiate consideration ; he therefore moved that the debate on the present question be adjourned till to- morrow. This, after a short discussion, was carried without a division. The SPEAKER informed tbe House, that the Serjeant at Arms had been served with a notice of trial for trespass, on the part of Sir Francis Burdett, and wished for the instruction of tbe House hew to proceed.— Tnis notice was referred to the Committee already appointed. VEST INDIA RIOCKS. Mr. BARHAM moved a Resolution, that the West India Dock Company, in dividing a profit of 101. per cent, on their capital, without deducting the due proportion for the Property Tax, had exceeded their powers.— After some discussion, tbe Resolution was agreed to. The bill for settling an Annuity on the Duke of Brunswick Was brought up, and read a first time. HOUSE OF COMMONS— WEDNESDAY, MAY 9. SIR FRANCIS BURDETT. The Serjeant at Arms ( Mr. Clementson), being called to the bar, stated to the House, that he had been served with a process in notice of an action, at the suit of Sir Francis Burdett.— The copy of the process being read, Mr. PER- CEVAL moved to refer this paper to the Committee appoint- ed to consider lhat subject,— Sir T. Turton, and Lord Folk- stone objected to its being referred to 6 Committee.— Mr. ADAM disapproved of any Committee reporting opinions, it was like all abandonment of the privileges of the House, which the Speaker was entitled to. Formerly, tbe person serving a writ ou him wuuld have been called to tbe bar, examined as to whether he was tiie person or not, antl then committed ; or the case would have been referred to a Committee of Privileges to detetermine on the steps to be taken. He de termiued not to attend the Committee appointed on the pre- sent occasion, Tbe great object which they all had in view was tbe sustentHtiou of the rights and privileges of Parlia- ment, and thereby, eif tbe rights and privileges of the people. They should not have appeared to doubt cf tbe existence of their privileges, aud should shew the country they did not waver, and were prepared to act up to the doctrines which tbey preached. He recommended that the person whose name was endorsed on tbe warrant should be called lo their bar.— Mr. WINDHAM, Sir J. ANSTIUJTHER, tbe ATUIRSET GENERAL and the CHANCELLOI of ihe EXCHEQUER agreed as lo the nature of their privileges, and knew uo course but one that should be taken ; they themselves were the only judges who should decide ti( xiu their piivileges, and no other tribunal — Sir AR. PIOOTT said, when a summons was served upon an officer of that House for discharging bis duty towards it, the course was to call tbe attorney serving it 10 the bar; and this was the first instance in which that course had not been adopted.— Mr. Perceval's motion for referring the paper to the Committee was then agreed to. CITY PETITION. The adjourned debate upon the Petition of the Livery being resumed — Mr. Wallace, Mr. Jacob, Mr. C. W. Wynn, Mr. R. Peel, Mr. Elliot, and Mr. Wilbertorce, spoke against its being received by the House, because it was evidently in tended as a deliberate insult, by a party out of doors, whose constant effort it was to vilify and degrade that House ; ihere ! were ciicuuistances attending tlie meeting which adopted it that went to piove this was its intention. If the language it contained had been used in other times, and by an individual, he would have been sent to Newgate. The rage of the meet- ing was directed against Parliament in general— all were abused, Ins and Outs. It was evident the House must sur- render its privileges, belore it could obtain their confidence. If the House received the petition, it would be an accomplice in its own degradation. The good sense cf the people of England would maintain tbe Constitution, and, in supporting the privileges ot that House, would support their own liber- ties Avery great majoiity of ihe people approved of the proceedings of the H" use. A great pait of the meeting who voted the petition consisted of persons who were not liverymen. Many of those who objected to n had taken more effectual steps to counteract it, by signing an instrument, pledging them- selves to the support, not of ministers, but of tbe Constitution. The petition did not speak the sense of the people, but of a few dopes, associated by a set of profligate desperadoes, who were lit obiects for criminal justice. The law of parlia- ment was undoubtedly a portion of the law of the land, the shield by which our ancestors had guarded tbe country against tyranny ami usurpation: it had been received Willi it. digni- ties and honours Dy the present generation, aud should be banded dewu to posterity unsullied and undiminished. The House should outer its protest against insulting epithets or abusive censure. It was not to Uo tliemselves good, but to do the House evil, that llie Petitioners came— they told the House they distrusted their decisions. Tliis was shaking tbe Constitution ot toe country, anil of the House to its base.— It was not to be euduied by the House; and if they expected respect elsewhere lor tbe privileges tbey claimed, and which belonged lo them, they must reject tliein - themselves, aud reject the petition. Honest « a uith should never be repelled — uoi should even intemperance in a | ietitioube loo captiously noticed; but when measured phrases setved only to intro- duce incivilityv and toe most ottensivc designs came under t| ie mask of mendsbip, such productions ought, aud must be rejected. Sir T. Turton, Sir S. Romilly, Sir J. Newport, Mr. Wardle, aud Mt. I'oiisonoy, aigued lor the petition being received the petition 46, against it 123— Majority 82. [ In our last we gave the Petition, & c. of tbe Liverv, agreed to at the Common Hall on the 4th inst. The following Address was drawn up by the party who assembled at Ihe London Tavern in the evening of the same day, and may be considered as a couuter- petition. DECLARATION OF THE LIVERYMEN OF LONDON. At an attioumed Meeting of Liverymen, held at the London Tavern, on Friday Evening the 4th of May, 1810, CHRISTOPHER SMITH, Esq. Alderman, in the Chair, the following Address was agreed to, and ordered to be left at that Tavern, and at the London Coffee House, Lndgate- hill, for the Signatures of those Livery- men who may approve of the same, ADDRESS. " At a period, when attempis are industriously made to vilify and degiade the Legislature by Ibe most unfounded Calumnies, and when resistance to tbe authority of the House of Commons has endangered the peace of the Metropolis, anil rendered necessary the interposition of military aid, THE UNDERSIGNED LIVERYMEN of Lon- don, disapproving of the Resolutions and Proceedings of the Common Hall, held this day at Guildhall, coi fiilently appeal to their Fellow Citizens, on the necess'ty of pnblicly lecording their sentiments on the occasion. " That tliev view with sorrow and indignation, tbe insi- dious efforts which continue to be made, to alienate the affections of the people from the Government; that they I cannot remain tranquil and passive spectators of these mis- chievous endeavours, which, having tailed in traducing tbe character of the Sovereign, aie now directed to the produc • tion of contempt and distrust of that important and essential part of the legislative body, the House of Commons, fo> Ibe more certain and effectual IntnxJaction of that system of auarchv, which has destroyed the last vestige of civil liberty on the Continent of Europe. " That the conduct of these factious individuals is in direct opposition to the principles whicli they profess, and contrary to those maxims, which have contributed to promote the happiness of mankind ; for, though they pretend tu be influenced by the genuine principles of liberty, yet they refuse to others that freedom of sentiment and opinion which they exercise without restriction, limit, or confront; and, though violently clamorous for Reform, their recent conduct aff irds a manifest proof, that I heir real object is the sub- version of the Constitution ; and that tbey seek to accomplish this destiuctive project by misleading tho minds of the igno- rant, and by inflaming the passions of the desperate. " That these inflammatory proceedings, dangerous at. all times, and particularly so at the present awful and very arduous crisis, and, unless actively resisted by tbe united efforts of those well- disposed and well- alfected persons, of whatever party, who admire the principles of THE REVOLU T? ON, which, happily for the religions and civil libei ties of Britons, led to the establishment of ihe House of Brunswick on the throne of these Realms ; and who revere the Consti- tution as then confiimed, and as now existing by law, may produce consequences fatal to our Freedom arid Indepen- dence as a nation ; it being the invariable practice of the present Ru'oV of France, to distract and divide the inhabit- ants of those countries which he is desirous to conquer and to destroy. " That, under these circumstances, the Undersigned Li- verymen exhort their Fellow Citizens to bury in oblivion all paity- feelings; to rally round the Throne of their venerable Monarch ; and to prove to the world, that be has not . anv subjects more loyal than his faithful citizens of London, or more grateful for the paternal affection with which he has watched over the happiness and welfare of his people. " That they rely With confidence on Ihe Representatives in Parliament, coitviriced that every retrenchment, con- istent with the public safety aud prosperity, will be made; aud they tmst that the members of both Houses of Parliament will never be deterred by the intimidating influence of the multitude on the One lieeld, or by any unconstitutional lutei- j position of the Crown on the othe. r, from tlfe adoption of such | moderate systems of Reform, as may be requisite from tbe progress of time, and as may be consistent with tbe principles of the Constitution, and the Laws of the Laud. " That, in reviewing the relative situation of this country with others, the Livery of London have mttcb to rejoice at, and little to regrt t; they wish the people to compare the blessings which tbey now enjoy, with those of former pericxK, or with those which are now possessed by tbe inhabitants of other countries ; and to examine wlielhei civil and religious liberty, the secure possession of property, the equal and impartial administration of justice, were ever enjoyed in greater purity than at tile present lime. " Sucn being the happiness which, under divine Piovi- deuce, the Citizens of London now possess, iu common with tbe rest of Ins Majesty's subjects, this appeul to their patriot, ism, will not be made iu vain— their good sense will point out to them the propriety of concurring in ibis public expres- sion of the principles and loyalty ot such of the Livery, us disapprove and condemn tbe proceedings of tne Common llall; aud the nece. ssity of avowing, unequivocally their - fixed determination to support the Constitution of the Cotmlry as by Law established; tu maintain, unimpaired, the privi- leges of both Houjes of Parliament; to resist all factious attempts at innovation ; to place their unshaken confidence in the vittires of the King; in the wisdom of tue Legislature, ami in the purity ot the Judges of tbe Laud ; and to exert their best endeavours, to impress on tbe minds of all those who are connected with them, a reverence for, and '' willing obedience" lo, the Laws, and an unalterable attachment for the true interests of their Country." a correct sentiment of July toward their few remainmT offspring, and strengthened by an habitu tl set. se of reli- gious ftssling, uphold themselves under their dre idful visitations of domestic misery with becoming fortitude ; Mid although the Phials of Heaven are thus fiercely • louring upon them, evince a corresponding sincerity vith that Heavenward ejaculation, which says — " Thy will be done I"— Taunton Courier. Intended Descent into FAdon Hole.— The following information is received from credible authority, res- pecting tho descent in ende 1 to be made in the course of the ensuing spring, into the above tremendous chasm, in the peak of Derbyshire, for the purpose of exploring, if possible, the depth, extent, stratification, antl other particulars of this hitherto unfathomable abyss.— A survey was lately made by Mr. Hutchinson, ot Chapel-- eti- le frith, author of the " Tour through the High Peak," and some old experienced miners, to ascer aio the most proper place for laying a stage, and fixing the apparatus for a descent into Eldou Hole ; and there can be no doubt, but this adveatfons undertaking will prove highly interesting to the public, as well as scien- tific to the geolog st.— Tbe length of line let down into Eldon Hole, has been st- ed by some writers to have been 2,800 fathoms, w! others gave a very different and far less calculation. Be this however as it may, it is very probable that different subterraneous passages will be discovered by the adventurers, extending in various • directions, and communicating perhaps with the great Pea'v's Hole, or some other darksome cavern oif the earth.— There is not any person now living who ha » descended into Eldon Holes and indeed the descent for- merly made by a person of the adjacent country, who was let down to the first perpendicular landing, to dis- cover whether a liumau body suspected to have been murdered was thrown into this pit, could not be ex- pected to produce any very authentic account, us the inducement arose from a mere casual circumstance, without any preparation, and perhaps without the spirit of investigation. The most muuite attention is required on such an occasion, as the smallest cranny or aperture is often known to open into the magnificeaf apartments of the mineral kingdom.— But we must yet remain in ignorance on the subject; the dark aud uu- discovered extent ofthis dismal gulpli must still bewilder the most intelligent, anil paral te the most bold and enterprising, with awe, conjecture, and amazement! for beyond these conception!, no human being can at present devise one single idea. It is, however, some satisfaction for us to be enabled to inform our readers, that, in all probability, the above enterprise will be pursued with judgment, and executed with resolu iou, — heeth Intelligencer. Planting.— There Domestic Affliction.— It has seldom, if ever it has, occurred to us, to notice so calamitous a train of misfor- tunes as that wlucii has lately occurred iu the family of Captain C. of tli- s East burluigh regiment of local militia. An affectionate anxiety towards a nephew, who was seized with a fever, at a boarding- school, near his residence, induced Capt. C. to remove him to his own house ; but the efforts of medical care were una- vailing, aud he fell a victim to the disorder. The in- fection remaining in tlie house, Captain C's eldest daughter, a most excellent and accomplished young laeiy, about 22 years of age, soon fell a sacrifice to its malignity. Another daughter, 18 years of age, had scarcely followed her sister to the grave before she herself became a corpse thro' the same fever. Intelli- gence, at this unhappy juncture, also reached the wretched parents, announcing the death of a sou of 16 years ot age, in the East indies ; aud confirming a prior account of the shipwreck ot another sou ( tiieir eldest), in the Hay of Bengal; aud that this cup of woe should want nothing ot its bitterness, it was the will of Providence that another daughter, a lovely gill of seven years of age, sliould be seized with illness on Good Friday, soon after leaving church, where she h id been in apparent health ; and on Saturday night her short and innocent career of life was also terminated 11 These appalliug events have all transpired within tiie last two months. The afflicted parents, supported by a quantity of land in Great Britain and Ireland, says a correspondent, of very liltle value in its present state, aud which cannot be convert- ed with profit to the undertaker, either into arable or good pasture land, but which being planted with Larches, would immediately pay a rent of above thirty shillings a year. This assertion requires some illustra- tion. An acre of Larches at 24 years growth, on but indifferent land, is worth s£ 100. Now the present value of jfc' 100 to be received 24 years hence is j£ 31, which being lent at legal interest, will produce 3J shillings a year, antl that way, correctly speaking, be considered as to rent to which an acre ot land if im- mediately raised by planting it with 794, say 10i) 0 Larches, at an expense of only 30 shillings. There is another mode of turning a plantation of Larches to profit, which may be preferable in some situations to that of re- converting the land into a pasture for sheep; it consists in cutting down the whole at 20 or 30 years growth, and re- planting the ground. A reasonable doubt may however arise, whether the same land wilt yield a second crop of Larchcs as valuable as the first t but supposing experience to prove this doubt to be ill- founded, and 5J0 acres to be planted with Larches at 6 or S feet distance, after £ 5 years let 20 acres be cut down, and the land be re- planted •, when the whole is thus gone over, the first re- planted part will be 25 years old, and be ready tor the axe ; and all the other parts will be ready in succession, 20 acres every year, for ever ; affording a rent, after the first 25 years, of jglSOO a year for 500 acrcs of waste land. Scarcity of Coin.— From the Report of the Com- mittee of Sccreey. it appears that the total amount of cash, expended lor the purposes of war. in the West- Indies and in Europe, during the last four years, is i£ 33,510; 422. of which nearly half that sum hat! been expended on the Continent. To these sums is to ha added the cost of our fleets oil foreign service; & c. & c. about which the Report is silent. The balance of commerce, however, the Report states to be greatly in our favour. The value of the exports of last year was j£ 30,424; 184. wliich is one- third more than it was during the last peace. The exports to Germany alone, for the last two years, amounted to more llian .£ 8,000.000. annually, when in time 6f peace they did not exceed £' l, 9lio, 900, and these reports exceed by £ 2,600,000, the whole that was annually exported lit times of peace, to 1' ranee, llanders, Holland, aud Germany.
