Sin, Olivenza, April 16. My letter of yesterday will have informed your Excellen- cy of the surrender of this place, the particulars attending which 1 had deferred staling, 111 prevent auy delay in yot r receiving this information. " 1 have now the honour to re- port, lhat 011 the night of the isth ( tbe morning of which your Excellency left the Camp), we took possession of un enclosed lunette, which the eucmy had left unoccupied 111 front ofthe San Fransisco gate, and distant fiom Ihe cur- tain about 250 yards. As the only entrance into the work was thro a gate in rear of it, much exposed to a lire of mus- ketry from the place, we were under the necessity of mak- ing another passage for the artillery al the outward angle, which was executed, and a breaching battery ol four guns completed 011 the evening of Ihe 14tli, and I had hopes, as I staled iu my letter to your Excellency of that day, that we should have been able to have got th'e guns into' it 111 the course of the night, but ill which I was disappointed ; for, notwithstanding every exertion was made 011 the part of Ma jor Dixon, of the Portuguese artillerv, it was found impos- sible to effect it, on account ot the badness ot' the road, and the circuit they were obliged to take to avoid the fire of the place. We were, therefore, under the necessity of deter- ring it until the following night, as the lunette was too much exposed to the fire of the place to attempt it iluriu ™ - the day.— H aving succeeded in getting tiie guus into the battery during the night, and got every thing ready before day- break 011 the 15th, ami also established two flanking batteries of field pieces, I sent a summons to the governor, which bringing a refusal to accept thc terms I offered, our fire immediately commenced, and was returned with some spirit from the town. At 11 o'clock a white flag, was hoist- ed, and an officer came out with a letter from the governor a copy of which I have the honour to enclose, and the governor's reply, to which I sent none, and recommenced our lire. After a few rounds 11 w hite flag was again hoisted aud Ihey surrendered at discretion, and the Franciscan Printed Particulars, and a Copy of thc Map, will also he left at the Place ofSale, a Fortnight before the Day of Sale.

To the fire kept up hy the British light companies, and the rifle companies of the 60TH and Brunswick regiments, uuder Majors Pear- son and Birmingham, and the flank companies of Colonel Harvey's Portuguese brigade, I principally attribute the trifling loss we sustained. 1 have the honour to inclose the return of the casualties, as also oft he ordnance found in the place, and of the number of prisoneis taken.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 3. Intelligence to the latter end of February has been re- ceived from the River Plate. The animositv'whirh has sn long subsisted between the Government of'Montc Video and the rebel Junta at Buenos Ayreg, has rather increased mi the part ofthe latter, in consequence of a severe check that they have lately received. Abuut the beginning of Febru- ary, Ihe force that had been sent against Paraguay, under the orders of Gen. Don Manuel Belgrane, was defeated- ail event which produced a very great effect on the inha- bitants of Buenos Ayres. This misfortune, aggravated by tbe certain information that the governor of Montevideo was preparing a formidable attack 011 the town, the focus of the insurrection, iu which be would be jo. tied by 5000 Pi r- tuguese troops from Rio Grande, had considerably abated tbe ardour or llie adherents ofthe Junta. Mr. Fostersailed ou Monday evening from Portsmouth, in the Minerva frigate, for the United States. The Ess x sailed at the same time from Cowes, with Mr. Pinckney. About an hour previous to his going 011 hoard, the Essex fired a salute of 17 guns. Yesterday a Court Martial was held at Chelsea Hospital,- for the trial of Lieut. Col.

About two o'clock his Royal Highness left his private apartments, attend- ed by Co'onel M'Mahon, General Turner, Colonel Bloomfield, and Lord Forbes, and proceeded to Ihe audience room, where Mr. Lancaster was introduced to his Royal Highness by the above attendants? one of them took off Mr. L.' s hat, by his permission, he being one of the Society of Friends, commontv called Quakers. Mr. L. presented to his Rojal Highness the plan for a large building, upou an extended scale, for a school- room. They were most graciously re- ceived, and his Royal Highness was pleased to express his approbation, and promised his patronage and sup- port. It beirg contrary to Mr. L.' s religious sentimeuts to kneel, he was also excused this Court etiquette, which is customary when any thing is presented to their Majesties or the Prince Regent. Yesterday the foundation stone of the intended new bridge from Milbank to Vauxhall was laid amidst the plaudits of more than 2000 persons, by the right honourable Lord D; ndas, as Ihe representative of his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, to perform the j ""' vu" V;' eu5 v' , J a -. ., . , • z „_ J /._ „„.„, I—' You wonder al lny severity respecting commercial re- gulations, but if you were in my situation, knowing what I The proposed r. eiv law arrangements, it is supposed, will take place in the course of next week, viz. Sir Thomas Plonier to be Assistant Vice- Chancellor, under Lord Eldon ; and Mr. Garrow to succeed the former, as Solicitor- General to his Majesty. A vessel arrived-,- at Plymouth, from Bayonnc, has brought some interesting intelligence, of which the following particulars have been transmitted : Plymouth, May 8.— By a vessel just arrived from Bayonnc, tbe name of which is, for obvious reasons, concealed, is learnt the following very important intelligence: that a gieat number of French troops had been detached from the French armies inSpain, nearest the Pyrenees, to join, it is supposed, the French armies ill the north of Europe, which clearly makes it appear that Napoleon's subjugation of Spain is at present laid aside. A gentleman who came iu the above vessel states, that the manner in which the march of the French troops is conducted, is a very cunning way. These troops arrive at Rayonne at midnight, stay that night and the following day to refresh themselves, receive Clothes, shoes, & c.— the cavalry, forage, & c. Ou the second night they march from Bayoune as if for Spain again j after having quitted the town, oil the road they make a counter- march, and proceed through that part of France, en secret, to join their comrades in the north of Europe. The misery of the French merchants at Bayoune, and the nearest commercial towns, is in the extreme. VVe learn, by the same conveyance, that Bonaparte, in a late speech of his, to a body of merchants, sent as a deputation from different parts of France to him at theTuilleries, said ceremony. Every thing being arranged fur the com- mencement of the business, Mr. Rennic, the engineer, poured some mortar into the cavity of the foundation stone, antl handed the silver trowel and the glass case, wilh its contents, to Lord Dundas, which his lordship bedded in the cavity, and then spread the morlar in the usual mode; after which, the upper stone, which weighed at least a ton, was lowered upon the first stone. His lordship next took a mallet, and having struck several blows on Ihe stone exclaimed aloud:— " In honour ot' his Koval Highness the Prince Recent, 1 name Ibis bridge the Regent Bririg"; may it benefit tl, e public, and frcm henceforward bear tl.- it name for ever." He then broke on the top of the stone a bottle of wine. Tbe operation was cheered by the voices of the spectators; and a salute of 21 gunj fired, in com- pliment lo his Royal Highness Ihe Prince Regent, and as a notice that the ceremony was concluded. The bridge will consist of seven arches : the middle one will be 110 feet span; the two adjoining arches 106; the two next 1C0; and tbe two land arches 90 feet each, producing a water way of 102 feel, and giving to the whole an extent of 9i0 feet from side fo side. An account laid before the House of Commons states, the total amount of gold monies coined, from the Re- volution, up to the commencement of his Majesty's reign at £ 26,959,795 10s. 2d. By a vessel which has arrived in 46 days from the Brazils, we learn that trade had revived there in some measure, in consequence of new communications hav i ing been opened with ihe interior. The inaikel was still overstocked, however, with British goods. Hides and tallow were at low prices, and so very plentiful, that the store- houses were filled with a quantity suf- ficient, for three years'consumption. Our naval force at the Brazils was employed in cruizing along shore, with Ihe exception of the Foudroyant, ( Admiral De- Courcv's flag ship) which continued stationary at the seat of Government. It was lately stated, that the Speaker of the House of Commons is lo he called up to the Lords, after the present Session. It is said that this is onlv part of a very extensive arrangement, in which Mr. Perceval is to become Lord Chancellor, with a peerage, of course, and oilier stipulations.— Sir T.

There were 3000 dissenting places of worship in the kingdom, besides barns, private houses, & c. and of the Established Church there were only 2310. HE warned the noble lord not to rouse these people ( Dissenters), who had Ihe gift of tongue, lest they should persuade the people they had no right to pay tithes twice. After n variety of observations, tbe bill was read a first time, and Lord SIDMOUTII signified, that on Monday next, he would give notice of the day which he should propose for the second reading.— The bill was ordered to be piinted. VEXATIOUS ARRESTS. The House in a Committee on this bill, Lord ELLEN- BOROUGH objected- to it, as being infinitely more calculated to harass the debtors and injure the creditor, than the law as it now stood.— Lord REDESDALE, the LORD CHAN- CELLOR and Lord MOIRA spoke on it. At length it was agreed to change the amount for which parties may be arrested, from £ 20, as it stood in the hill, to £ 15. A division took place on the clause, which gives a power to arrest a defendant for a sum of £ 10, if the debt be founded . upon a bond, bill of exchange, or promissory note, when there appeared for the clause 7, against it 3— majority 4.— The hill was reported, and ordered to be printed. HOUSE OF COMMONS.— THURSDAY MAY 9. Mr PERCEVAL observed, that in consequence of Ihe bill lately passed in that House having been rejected by the Loins, he thought it necessary to propose some relief to those who might be affected by the rejection of that mea- sure. He then moved for leave to bring ill 11 bill to enable the Lords of the Treasury to exonerate the distillers from sugar from ccrtain duties imposed by Ihe Act ofthe 48th of the King.— Leave was given ; and the hill was brought in. Mr. W. POLE brought up a bill to enable Militiamen in Ireland to volunteer into the army.

Y, Monday Night, May 13, 1811. SATURDAY, MAY 11. Sir James Saumarez is arrived in the North Sea. A letter from Gottenburgh, dated the 3d inst. says—" A convoy of thirty- eight sail is arrived at Kjeuso ; several ships of the line ( it is said eleven), and among them the Victory, are in the Flemish roads, with some frigates. Admiral Reynolds arrived some time ago with four sail of the line: a convoy has already been appointed by Sir James Saumarez for the Baltic, which it is understood will sail with the first fair wind." The statement in some of the papers of hostilitie having occurred between the Prussians and French, at Colberg, is not confirtred; another Anholt mail ar- rived yesterday, without mentioning any such cir- cumstance. Still, however, the idea of war between France and Russia is not abandoned ; on the contrary, the expectation of a rupture is very strongly held out 111 some private letters. The German papers received by this mail contain the following statements: Constantinople, March lfi.— The Grand Seignior has rejected the propositions of pence which the Court of Russia lately made to Ii in, and persist* in I lie resolution of continuing the war with tli- jt power. In consequence, lie is busily occupied iu raising eon- tnvrntsand armaments of every description. Berlin, April 23.— The day before yesterday II-, e Frrnch Gen. and Envoy Ex'raorrlinarytothe Court of Russia, Count Lauriston, s'el out for St. Petersburg!!. A mail from Jamaica arrived yesterday. The papers contain accounts from Mexico to tbe middle of February, from which it appears that the rebellion is nearly extin- guished in that province. The insurgents have every where given way before the Government troops. Mer- cado, who had taken a position 111 the Barrancas, with a strong corps and 14 pieces of cannon, after repeated attacks was ultimately dislodged from it, and obliged to retreat with a considerable loss of men and the grealer part of the artillery. By a dispatch from Ge- neral De la Cruz, it appears that the remainder of the insurgents had surrendered on promise of pardon, which was granted to them, and they were ordered to proceed to their several homes. The mail brings us unwelcome confirmation of what has been for some weeks reported, that French priva- teers are fitted out in American porls, and take shelter there after cruizing against British shipping in the West Indies. The Mariner, of Liverpool, which arrived at Jamaica on the 3d of March, on her passage, ten leagues to the eastward of Deseada, was boarded by the Clta- ryhdis brig of war, and was informed, that fivelieavy privateers, manned with Frenchmen, and most of them carrying 20 guns, equipped in American ports, were • s cruizing in that latitude, and that several vessels of war were on the look- out for them, fe The Prince Regent, it is said, has been advised by the law officers, liiat he cannot, while Regent, accept the Fret dom of the city of Loudon. The latest letters from the Continent state, that the late Governor of Aniboyna had been shot, hy order of the French Government, for not having Ittnger and more effectually resisted the approach of the British troops from taking possession of the Island. Mr. Pitu'kney has re- Sanded from the Essex frigate, in which he was intending to proceed to the United States, it having been discovered that a disorder pre- vailed 011 board the ship, by which 150 of the crew wete. incapacitated. What is the nature of the com- plaint has not been satisfactorily ascertained, but it is called the influenza, and its ellecls are considered neither fatal or permanent. It is understood, liiat Ihe motive for the immediate departure of Mr. Foster to the Republic, is the intelli- gence which has been received of a prodigious activity in the American ports to fit oul privateers in the . French name, and under French colours, but actually supported by the properrty, and navigated for the iaterest of the republican owners. As the law now stands between the United States and this country, vie are very apprehensive thai any negotiation 011 this fc su iject will be ineffectual, and tiie mischief. may be to <* an incalculable extent. ' the Toleration Acts of Mary, and of the'iyth of the King. To his motives, anil the spirit which prompt- ed liiin, he had 110 doubt their lordships would give a kind and liberal interpretation. The correction of the abuses, which is the object of his bill, was a matter of anxious solicitude to all parties who feel in any degree w hat is due to the honour and sanctity of religion. It was a lamentable consideration, that the history of our country presented us with a painful and disgusting catalogue of the effects of intolerance and persecution, which would be found to have belonged to all sects who had ever enjoyed a predominancy, under whatever name that pr< dominancy was denominated. The Reformation was, in his lordship's opinion, far from au acra of liberality Tl. e l- eign of William aud Mary was the earliest time lo which that honourable designation could be given. Of the enlarged views of William his lordship spoke in terms of just panegyric; he deserves the praise and the gratitude of Englishmen, not only for what he accomplished, but for what he attempted, and which the illiherality of llie times did not sutler him to carry iuto effect. The Act of Toleration his lordship characterized as a monument. « f wisdom, and deserving the highest en- comiums, whether we consider the sound policy and liber- ality of Ihe act, or its effects upou the peace and happiness of the people. Persons claiming the benefits of this act were of a regular defined description, as set forth in the preamble ; but lhat act as well as that of the 19th Geo. 3d, had of late received a novel interpretation. The practice lias been, al the Quarter Sessions, to demand and obtain certificates nudcr these acts, which certificates operate as exemptions from the militia, from serving 011 juries, & e. and this is done by persons not dissenters, as the term was understood at the passing of Ihe act, but very frequently by a description of persons totally devoid of every necessary qualification, altogether unfit for the functions into which lliey thus forwardly intruded. If religion be the main stay of a well- ordered Commonwealth, if it he the source from which truth and morals are derived, and every virtue which ornaments society, was it not essential that the fountains from which it is drawn should not be polluted by vice or ignorance? He did not wish lo dwell upon their gross deficiency as to intellectual qualifications, w ere i t uot for the self- appointment of these teachers of religion. His lordship here gave a statement of the number and condition of persons thus officiating, as reported to him from two Archdeaconries. Under the shelter of tlie Toleration Act, men had thrust themselves into the characters of teachers of religion, who had shortly before been engaged in some of the humblest and most degrading offices of life— not that be would make any reflection injurious to the humble walks of life; but what lie complained of was, that men were suffered to thrust themselves into situations, for which, from former habits, they must be altogether unqualified. If the true meaning of the act could bear this latitude of interpretation, it would become their lordships to correct an evil of the most serious nature; hut lie contended, as well from the act itself, as from the interpretation w hich it had received iu different parts of the country, that its true meaning is far different. In Devonshire, in Norfolk, and in Buckinghamshire, improper applications had been refused, and 110 oue has ever heard of a mandamus moved for ill consequence. His lordship then read some extracts from Ihe Toleration Act, and from the Act of Sir G. Saville, which was au enlargement of the former, and in both cases shewed that the benefits of these acts were to be extended to persons already contemplated as Dissenting Ministers. Under these circumstances, lie thought it necessary that both Magistrates aud Dissenters should have the advantage of description. His lordship recounted the different sects of Dissenters recognised by the act of William and Mary, and remarked, that hy the spirit of that statute Quakers were excused from taking oaths, following tlie liberal spirit of that statute lo include in the list of qualified persons those who had been appointed to congregations; hut he would nut apply the same principle to persons not so appointed. His lordship argued for the adoption of some measure of regulation, as likely to produce the happiest results; Mini in his mind it was highly necessary to correct the dangerous evils arising from self- appoiutmenls. He should propose, that in order to entitle any man to obtain a qualification as a preacher, lie should have the recommend- ation of at least six reputable householders of the con- gregation to which he belonged, and that he should actually have a congregation which was willing to listen to his instructions. With regard to itinerant preachers, he proposed that tliey should be required lo bring testimonials from six householders, stating them to he of sober life and character, together with their belief that they were qualified to perform the functions of preachers. These were ilie objects w hich he had in view hy llic bill w hich he meant to submit to their lordships. As to tiie causes of the increase of Dissenters, lie doubted whether tliey could he known 11 it li accuracy. His lordship slated what in his mind might correct the evil in part,— abolishing pluralities, anil ihe erecting of churches, of which he said, there is a great want. At present we have a church established iu name, hut in reality sectarian II is lordship concluded by saying, tbat every well- minded Dissenter, as well as every member of the Established Church, must perceive the absolute necessity of regulation. His lordship then moved for leave to bring in a Bill for explaining and amending the Tolera- tion Acts of William and Mary, and 19th of the King, and lhat il now he read a first time and printed. Lord HOLLAS D said, that so far from being convinced of the necessity of any such bill, he was now more than ever hostile to its enactment. Tl; e noble loid wished to start from a fundamental error, which it had been the object of I be Toleration Act to do away, that was.— that llie regula- tion of these matters belonged to the Government. With respect to what his lordship had observed upon the lower ranks of soeit. ty, and their interfi rence upon the subject of religion, there was something illiberal, not in Ihe motive ( that he was convinced was pure), but in the application. Religion, in his mind, might be compared lo a foot- hall, quiet, it let alone, but which any knave or fool niig" in motion, when once agitated The Toleration . not to be meddled with, unless of necessity. With respect to that Act, he would U6T! the words of the Ministers them selves upon another occasion, principiis ohsta. His lordship deferred his opposition till the bill should arrive at another stage. Eari ST V NHOPF. though! it would be better for the noble viscount ( Sidiuouth) lo correct tbe abases in tbe Established CAPTURE AND DESTRUCTION OF FIVE FRENCH FRIGATES. We are enabled to announce a brilliant exploit which has been achieved ill the Mediterranean by liis Majesty's frigates Active, Ampliion, Cerberus, and Acorn sloop of war:— This gallant little squadron, according to private accounts from Gibraltar, fell in with a squadron of five French frigates in the vicinity of Corfu, which the) attacked, and after an action of considerable length, his Majesty's frigates succecded in capturing two of I hem, ' and completely des- troying the other three. Government have only received notice of the affair by Telegraph, and the dispatches, with the particulars, are supposed to be on tlieir way, aud are hourly expected.—- The Thracian sloop, arrived at Ports mouth, brought the account from Gibraltar, from whence she sailed about the 24th ult. Nothing further is known with respect to this gallant achievement, except tbat Capt Iloste, of the Ampluon, had the misfortune to be so badly wouuded ill the arm, as to render amputation necessary, and tbat the French commander 011 the occasion was Dubourdieu. The letters from Gibraltar also communicate, that a fleet had sailed for England nnder convoy of the Franchise frigate, but no intelligence is contained in them from Spain of which we were not already made acquainted. Notwithstanding the general opinion ill this country that La Pena had been aequilted of all the charges exhibited against him on account of liis conduct at the battle of Barrosa, there is reason to believe that the contrary is the fact. The Court was sitting on his case when the last advices left Cadiz. A gentleman who left Cadiz in the last packet from thence confirms this statement, and adds, that the General was divested of liis guard of honour until the termination of the court martial. The General appears constantly in the street unattended, but not iu uniform. Government have ordered out fresh troops for Cadiz. Seveial regiments of cavalry are under immediate orders to embark at Portsmouth for that destination. Some doubts are entertained ill the papers of to- day of the Russian troops having been withdrawn from Fiuland, and marched to the frontiers of Poland : we have seen letters to day from the Continent which establish the fact, as well as that the Fiench are using the gieatest exertion in fortifying Stettin and Dantzic. THE LOAN.— At length the Loan for the current year is about to he contracted for. Tl. it, morning Mr, Perceval notified in the usual way to the Bank of England, that 011 Wednesday 11101- tiing next, at 11 oVlock, he should he ready to see such gentlemen as were inclined to bid for the loan for the service of the present year, to arrange with them the particular stock in which the biddings are to take place, as well as other preliminaries. A copy of the communica- tion to the Bank was read by Mr. Hasc to the gentlemen of the stock exchange. The following is a list of bidders on the occasion :— Messrs. Baring, Batlie, aud Co. Messrs. Reid, Irving, Jackson, and Co. Messrs. Barnes, Ricardo, and Co and Messrs. Robarts, Curtis, and Co. By one of the recent City Failures, Lucien Bonaparte lias sustained a loss of £ 8000. When at Malta, he ordered that sum to be remitted to England oil his account, and, unfortunately for hiin, it was transmitted to ihe House in question, which, within the last fortnight, has appeared in the Gasette. I11 the House of Commons this evening, Mr Whitbread gave notice that 011 the 30th inst. lie should bring forward a motion for a Committee on the State of the Nation, iu which he would propose a permanent measure to provide for a Regency, in case of any future suspension of the Royal faculties, and thereby prevent the confusion and in- convcuiencc the country had already twice felt from such cause. Yesterday the following Bulletin was shewn at St. James's Palace:— " Windsor Castle, itivy 11— His Majesty continues much in the same state as last week." Whatever reports may have been circulated through the medium of diurnal publications, to agitate the public mind iu respect to liis Majesty's health, we are assured from undoubted authority, that his Majesty forthese two days past, has experienced a most important alteration for the better, in his mental faculties.

Upwards of 300 puues were broken in the hot house, & c. of Miss Windsor, in this town ; and llie skylights of several houses have been much damaged. In consequence of this unusual occur- reyce, great apprehensions ore expressed for the safety of tlie orchard fruit, which in the cider couutics a few days before promised to be a very productive crop.

A fine boy, about four years old, was nearly burnt to death in Barker- street in this town yesterday evening, in cousequence of being left in the house, without a proper person to take care of it. The present forward state of the different kinds of Grasses is favourable for the Stock Farmer; and many who, two months hack, expected to have been under the necessity of expending large sums for the purchase of hay, & c. have sufficiently provided for the stock of their farms without incurring that expeusc. General Hill, on his return to Portugal, will have the command of the army 011 the Guadiana. According to the London papers of Monday, the General and suite sailed from Portsmouth on Sunday last. The water in three of the troughs 011 Newmarket Heath was poisoned a few days ago, and those valuable race- horses, Pirouette avid Dandy, the property of Lord Foley; tbe Eagle Colt, the property of Sir F. Standish ; aud Spaniard, have all died, 111 consequeuce of drinking it. Tho excrucia- ting torture these poor animals suffered previous to their dissolution was dreadful iu the extreme. The value of the four which have died is estimated at tittle less than 7 or 8OU0I. Two other horses remain in a ( dangerous stale.— They were all entered for the Claret Stakes.— 500 guineas reward have been offered for the discovery of the perpetra- tor of this diabolical act: and it is said the Jockey Club have resolved to offer an additional reward of 1000 guineas, and an annuity of £ 100 a year, to any person who will furnish a clue, by which they may be discovered. At the annual meeting last week, ofthe General Society for tlie promotion of Sunday Schools in England, Wales, Ireland, & c. it appeared, that 88 new schools have been opened ; that the zeal for conveying instruction through the medium of Sunday Schools appears in no degree abat- ed; that they are attended with tbe most beneficial effects to the children of Ihe poor, of which the Committee have recently received many unequivocal testimonies. The Society's patronage in Wales begins to display itself in a manner which promises the most happy results, there now- being scarcely a district remaining where it. beneficial Influence has not beeu felt. Amongst the very liberal subscriptions for the Portu- guese, the sum of £ 2000 appears from the Bank of England, ,£ 1000 from the East India Company, and £ 525 from the shipbuilders of the port of London.— The subscription for the British prisoners in France is uow about £ 34,000. Several persons being under prosecution for purchasing guineas at a price beyond their legal value, it will be proper to state, that by an Act of Elisabeth it is declared, that " any person who shall exact, demand, or receive for any of the current coin of the realm, more than the legal current value thereof, shall be deemed guilty of felony." The Norisian prize is this year adjudged to the Rev. John Milliner, Dress Maker, Hosier, and Glover. MRS. 11.

On the second reading of the Distillery bill, the Earl of Suffolk and the Earl of Aberdeen opposed it.— Earl BATHURST, in a very long and studied speech, weut into a detail of its merits and importance, asserting not only its utility, but its great necessity at this most important juncture. His lordship took a general and comprehensive view of the state of agri- culture throughout the united kingdom, and the state of tbe colonial inteiest, as it regarded its produce, and concluded witb hoping lhat the bill would be allowed to go into a Com- mittee. His lordship, in the cottr- e of his speech, asserted that the maximum taken for tbe price ot barley and of sugar, the one being at 38s. the other at 70s. 9d. was a fair and just principle to act upon.— The Earl of ABERDEEN opposed the bill on several grounds ; the principal of which were on ac- count of its being injurious to the landed interest, especially that of Scotland, and on ibe ground of its giving unfair pre- ference to the colonial interest. He concluded with giving the measure his most decided disapprobation.— The Earls of ROSSLYN arid DARNI. EY also spoke against the hill, urging nearlv the same reasons as those advanced by tbe Earl of Aberdeen.— The Earl of HARiiwiCKEdelailed, at considerable length, the probable effects and operations of the bill, and the injurious consequences it would produce both to landlord and tenant. His lordship then moved, that instead of the word " now," the words this day six months" he inserted in tbe motion.— This was opposed by the Earl of WESTMOR- LAND, who defended the bill both in principle aud detail. His lordship urged the necessity of the House proceeding imme- diately with the bill, as delay would be manifestly injurious to the country.— The Earl of LAUDERDALE argued in very pointed terms against the bill, which he condemned as im politic antl unnecessary. His lordship entered into an his- torical summary of events respecting the landed inteiest of the kingdom since the Revolution, and concluded a very ani- mated speech witb giving the amended motion his support.— The Earl of LIVERPOOL observed that this was not a measure of party, it was a measure of prudence aud of policy, and it was not a little singular, that ever since its introduction, whilst the landed interest was complaining that their rights were in- fringed upon, the colonial interest were expressing their alarms in Ihe very same wa'v. The real truth of the case was, that neither side was favoured at the expense of the other-; the general interest was the sole object in view, and no other existed. ' I he proper way in which it should be considered is, vbether it be practically beneficial to the country or not ? In that light he did consider it, and for that reason would support it.— Loid GRENVIU. E differed from thenoble Secretary of State, and considered the measure as not only highly in- jurious to the landed interest, but as exceedingly detrimental to tbe principles of sound policy which should actuate those who legislate for their country. In illustrating this topic, the noble lord enteied into a most diffusive discussion of the landed interest, and Ihe colonial interest, in which he replied to the atguments advanced by those who supported the measure.— The House then divided, when there appeared— for the amendment 56— Against it 36— The bill is tberefoie therefore thrown out by a majority of 20. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The third reading of the Southwark Bridge bill, w tis op- posed by Sir W. Curtis and Sir C. Price, and supported by Sir T. Turton antl Mr. Martiot. The latter gentleman stated, that the inconvenience to Ihe passengers over London Bridge, slight as it was in comparison with the other disadvantages, was obviously great. The narrowness of the foot passage was such, that he had been often detained a longer time in journeying over it, and half a mile into its neighbourhood, than in walking a distance of seven miles. It bad been said that three bridges of communication with London, w ere suf- ficient ; but in Paris, so much inferior in commerce to this city, nine bridges were not deemed more than adequate for the purposes of its ccmmetcial operations. Besides, if any accident should happen to London Bridge, tbe situation of the metropolis would be deplorable. He concluded with ob- serving, that the intended new bridge, although to be com- posed of iron, would bean object not only of utility, but of em- bellishment to the city.— The bill was then read a third time and passed. The House having resolved into a Committee, on the Bullion Report, Mr. HORNER rose, and called the attention of the Committee to this important subject. It was well known that the various oi> inions out of Parliament, on this subject, had been carried to a degree of violence on both sides. On the one harrd it had been maintained, that paper money might be made efficient without any metallic basis, and that the great improvements that had taken place in this country had been owing to the paper currency, independently of the intervention of specie. On the other band, however, there were persons who professed their hostility to paper currency Jn every shape, wliu netuVjllto all the advantRfes to b<> derived from paper, who were blind to its utility as it existed according to law, and who boldly advocated a return to that state of things that existed prior to the admission of paper in foreign or domestic transactions. Between these two opposite extiemes be was anxious to steer a middlecourse, as being that in which the tiulh and the public advantage was most likely to be found. He was anxious to restore tilings to that state in which they were in 1797, previously to the restrictions imposed on the Bank, which enabled it to issue notes without the necessity of providing means to pay them in specie on demand He wished to have as extended a paper circulation - « s was consistent with the great and indispensable principle, that Bank notes were only the representatives of specie, and with the means of preserving its credit, by having, at all times, tbe paper convertible into current- money, as establish- ed by law. Another opinion, which he conceived to be equally erroneous, was also professed by some, who enter- tained jealousy - of the Bank of England, as a commerc'al and political institution. The origin of that was riot only connected with the best liberties of this country, but ivith the liberties aud prosperity of Europe at large. From the Bank of England the greatest advantages had been derived, and the most piompt and practical assistance to our exertions, both at home and abroad. The Bank of England, with re- spect to private commercial interests, formed a very essential part of the country, and was calculated to promote its wealth and industry. lustead of being hostile to the Bank establishment, his great object was to rescue it as soon as possible from its present embarrassments, and in a manner that would be most consistent with its permanency and safety. An lion, member had drawn up a string of resolutions coun- ter to those of the Committee; in the last of which it was stated, that it was important lo put an end to the Bank restriction as soon as possible; here he perfectly agreed With tbe honourable member, and should have taken all the rest for granted, hut when he looked at the string of resolutions that preceded this, it appeared that that principle, though heie admitted, was controverted, and tbe ground on which it rested denied. Tbe learned gentleman in a speech of three bom s, entered into the vaiious and complicated details of tbi • object, the depreciation of paper money, the prices of . bullion, the rate of exchange, the evidence before the Bullion Committee, &. c, and concluded by saying, it appeared to him, that the strongest and the only inference which could be drawn from the various statements was, that the Bank of England is to be considered the cause of the present depreciated state of bullion. Tbe excessive issue of Bank of England notes, considered only as a matter of discount, was rot prudent, and considered as a currency, was most injurious to trade, and productive of depreciation. He thought that if Parliament, alter investigating the subject, would declare their opinion, it would have considerable weight with the Batik of England. The only argument against the remedy proposed, turned on the circumstance of our being now in a slate of w ar, and on the principle that the restriction of cash payments was a permanent war engine. The hon, gentleman said, that when the act authorizing the restriction passed, it was not even in the contemplation of the legislature, to make it a permanent measure. It was not the effect of any ap- prehension of the power of our enemies, but an internal temporary alarm. If such then was the fact, of which he entertained no doubt, it was too absurd to continue the re- medy after the disease was completely over. He might, perhaps, be asked, when he would think it advisable to te- movethe restriction, whether at once, or at a future period ? He should answer, that, in his opinion, it would not be ad- visable to effect it at once, either in time of war or of peace. During the present war, which was of a peculiar character, it might not be advisable; but at the same time the House ought, as the guardians of the people, to be watchful over their interests, and to compel the Bank to issue a certain quantity of spccie, which alone could prevent the losses we were daily sustaining, as a nation as well as individuals. If our system of finance was not founded upon a sound and fitm basis, it must be always subjeet to derangement, and, perhaps, ultimately involve the country in ruin. With such we were now threatened, and if the House would not inteifeie and avert the impending calamity, they would break their Parlia- mentary faith with the people. He would have gentlemen, therefore, lo observe the situation in which they now stood in regard tothe people; they were continually paying interest upon pasl debts, and at the same time practising a fraud upon the creditors, by permitting that interest to diminish so much in value beyond what it was liberally lent upon public emer- gencies. The hon. gentleman apologised for having occupied their attention to long, and concluded by moving the first of his series of Resolutions. Mr. ROSE complimented the learned gentleman on the very masterly speech which he had delivered on a subject of great difficulty ; but differed from him in almost every position he had laid down. He also had given the subject every con - sideration which his avocations allowed him, and examined every document to which he could obtained access, and it was his confirmed opinion, that the present depreciation of the Bauk paper was not occasioned by an excessive issue of it. He was also convinced, that the remedy proposed by the Committee was impracticable, and if the Bauk were com- pelled to issue gold at present, not one guinea would be left. If the issue of Bank notes were checked manulacturers and commerce would be checked in the same proportion, nor could the present circulating medium be checked till another was substituted in its room. Even if the Bank should find gold, how long would it remain in circula- tion > Gold was now worth 41. 16s. per ounce; the mo- ment it was coined it would be melted : and unless they could at tbe same time reduce the price, the measure would be destructive to themselves, and of no advantage to the public. No inconvenience for a period of twelve years, with respect tothe course of exchange, had resulted from payments inicas. h being suspended. This had only been felt for two years, arisingfrom the system of continental tyranny. The right hon. gentleman concluded a very able speech by ob- serving, that the proposed measure could not be adopted, without doing incalculable mischief, not only to merchants and manufacturers, but to every description of men in the stale. He therefore trusted, that the course so long adopted would still continue to be pursued, and that no deviation would be made from a measure so closely connected with the interest and welfaie of the country. Mr. H. THORNTON remarked, that if the Bank should be deprived cf a privilege, it had so long possessed, care should be taken to have an equivalent in ils room. The quantity of paper currency certainly influenced the price of commodi- ties, and if the paper currency in circulation be augmented, the price of commodities would be proportionally affected. But this extended to gold and every Ibing else. Augment the quantity of the circulating medium, and its value was necessarily diminished. The hon. gentlemen instanced the case of the Bank of Paris, as a lesson from which we might derive valuable instruction upon this subject. That body was in the habit of leuding to merchants at a moderate interest, but the Government in 1785 had applied for an accommoda- tion in their distress, and as usual, granted the liberty of extending their issues; the consequence of this was the coun- try banks adding to the embarrassment, by attempting to share in the profits of the plan, and stoppage on the part of the bank at Paris; but on resorting to the Government for advice, thev wree relieved by adopting the system recommend- ed to them,' of limiting their paper Currency. The advice given by the Government was, that they should never borrow money to enlarge their capital; that they should not lend but on good security; and thirdly, that when their issue was excessive, they should immediately correct it by calling in their dis- count. This, the hon. gentleman contended, was a case ex actly similar to ours. Bankers, if left to themselves, always regulate their business oil fixed principles— principles, indeed which are in a great measure copied from the unerring laws of nature, which principles, if departed from in great po- litical subjects, serious danger might be apprehended. He did not w ish to charge the Bank of England with intentional excess, but thought that body highly blameable in not ad- verting to the rate of exchange, and governing themselves accordingly. What was done, he did not doubt, was with a view of assisting trade, but the tendency of their measures ought to have been more attended to; and if the Committee had done nothing besides calling the attention of Parliament to the subject of the rate of exchange, he thought a very valuable service had been performed to the country. There was a principle laid down by Adam Smith, which he thought deserving observation; he did not in every thing agree with that celebrated writer, but in this instance lie was sure he right. What he said was, " That if any bank possesses an exclusive power of issuing, that body has it in its power to fix what price or value it pleases." If, under every circumstance, we had been able to maintain our credit, if the exchange uf the country told us, that under the present system nothing was to be apprehended, he would make no objection ; if our credit been maintained, the advocates of the system might speak with confidence; but when the reverse was tbe fact, it was time for Parliament to take the affair into its own hands, and to provide a better system, and not leave things to the uncer- tain issue of mere chance. With respect to the law of the case, as matters 6tood, he questioned very much whether the purchasing of gold by paper, at a premium, was in itself a crime. He might barely mention the uncertainty which agitates the Courts of law on the subject; and if, to remedy tbe defects of the law on that head, Parliament should enact fchct batik IIVTCS SIIUMIJ hooccfmlh be a legal tender, the Hruse would perceive the only consequence of this measure would be to aggravate the evil, to add to the catalogue of crimes, and, by the addition of penalty, to enhance the premium. The only question then for the House to consider was, whether the currency was to be limited, or the denomi- nation of the coin altered; for his part he thought that a depreciated paper currency was a more serious evil than an al- teration of the standard. The hon. gentleman then exhorted the House to take the matter into Consideration, and that on both sides they should endeavour to understand one another, and not to be governed by any principle of ill- judged opposi- tion. To attempt to carry business with a high hand was neither wise nor conciliatory; the evil was great, and he would advise that Parliament would provide a remedy, and that the light might not break in upon them, to use the words of Mr. Burke, through chasms which would discover to them their own ruin at the same time. It was past one when Mr. Thornton had done speaking: the question of adjournment was then loudly called for; and the House adjourned till to- morrow, when the debate will be resumed. % HOUSE OF LORDS, TUESDAY, MAY 7. Lord Grenville said, it had been his good fortune to intro- duce that act into the House, which was first passed for the Abolition of the Slave Trade. He considered it as the most honourable act of his public life; and he might say at the close of that life—" I have not lived in vain." He would be soiry if this traffic was not recognised by that House and the world as it is described in Ibe preamble of the bill, as being contrary to humanity and justice. But the Abolition which had been intended liatl riot been effected by that bill; it had, therefore, been found necessary to render the law penal; and, though by no means favourable to the increase of penal laws, yet he believed it to be the only way of remedying that horrid evil. When that bill was first- drawn out by him ( Lord G.), he had intended that the offence Should be punishable as piracy; he, however, had been prevailed on to alter it to pecuniary penalties. But those were now found to be inade- quate for the prevention of this abominable traffic, and he then had it in his power to substitute for pecuniary penalties something which might be of more effect.— He did not wish that their lordships should, for a moment, consider the quan- tum of moral guilt, and then legislate on the proper quantum of iranishment ; but it would be necessary for them to ask, whether the act already passed had been sufficient to answer the ends proposed ; and whether or not this bill, which was now offered, was likely to prove more so ? He was sorry to say. in answer to the first, that he held in his hand evidence sufficiently strong to prove, that the first bill was inadequate to ftsends. From many ports ships had been fitted foi this traffic which were known to belong to natives of t- his country, who had been slave merchants for the greater part of their lives. These vessels were covered by the flimsy disguise of false Spanish names, and simulated papers. One of his Majesty's ships sent into Sierra Leone a ship, with 109 slaves oo board, going by the name of the Marquis Romana, when it was well known her real name was the Prince William, of Liverpool. This was iu September las. t year, so that it was clear that this trade, unless speedily crushed, would soon increase. A circumstance had come to his knowledge that day, namely, that lately a cargo t, f negroes had been sold, by public adver- tisement in tbe market- place of St. Kitt's. He wished to know if such circumstance had come to the knowledge of Ministers. The punishment in this bill, he thought, hud not been carried high enough ; as he could make no distinction between piiacy and carrying off the peaceable subjects of other nations into slavery, ff it bad been made death, he should have had no objection ; at present it was only pro- posed to make it a transportable felony. He then moved, that the bill should be committed.— The Earl of LIVERPOOL declared, that the bill bad his most hearty concurrence; but, with regard to the circumstance at St. Kitt's, it was perfectly new to him. — Earl STANHOPE declared it to be still his opinion, that no penalty, not even death, would prevent the slave trade. The only way woultl be, to declare every slave free the moment lie arrived in any of our colonies ; and to enforce obedience, in the strictest manner, to this law.— Lord G REN- VILLE said, that would be worth the greatest consideration, should the present measure also be found inefficient. He then asked, whether any communications had been made by Ministers to the Spanish and Portuguese Governments, on the subject of the Abolition of the Slave Trade, as directed by the bill ?— Tire Earl of LIVERPOOL stated, that a most forcible representation had been marleto the Spanish Govern- ment j but tbe noble loid must be aware of the great management necessary to be used, in order to avoid the jealousies entertained by that Government, especially as far as regards their colonies; but Mr. Wellesley, very honour- ably for himself and his country, had let slip no opportunity of pressing the subject.— The bill then went through the Committee, and was ordered to be reported to- morrow. On the motion of Lord GRENVILLE, the bill for consolidating the different penal laws, as far as they relate to resistance, & c. to the revenue laws, also went through a Committee, and received some slight amendments. UOUSE OF COMMONS. A new writ was ordered for Wootton Bassett, in the room of General Murray, who has accepted the Cbiltern Hundreds. On the motion of Mr. GOOCH, leave was given to bring in a bill to enable Magistrates to compel reputed fathers of bastard children, born in extra- parochial places, to give se- curity for their maintenance. Mr. GOOCH afterwards brought up the bill, which was read a first time. Ou the motion for the second rending of the Poor's Settle- ment bill, Mr. WHITBREAD opposed it, ou the ground that it went to enctease the difficulty of poor persons obtaining settlements. If a man resided many years in a particular parish, to which lie bad bestowed the prime years of his life, it was in that parish he was best entitled to a settlement; but the present bill went to deprive people altogether of such advantage, by giving a power to overseers to remove them lo other parishes to which they had originally belonged. On these grounds he would move to put off the bill for six months. — Lord Milton and Mr. Morris objected to the bill, as oppres- sive to the poor and the country.— On ihe motion of Mr. GOOCH, the further consideration of the bill was adjourned for a week. The adjourned debate on the Report of the Bullion Com- mittee being resumed, Mr. VANSITTART began by expressing his surprise and sorrow at the proceedings and the Report of the Committee, which, in his mind, was one of the boldest ex- periments ever tried upon public credit. Tbe whole of the question now before the House depended on abstract reason- ing, of which the House was not always the best judge. He differed from the learned gentleman ( Mr. Horner) as to the practical application of bis arguments; and that any depre- ciation of Bank notes had taken place. He had never heard any instance of Bank notes having been refused in the pay- ment of debts, although they were not a legal tender. Much had been said on the excessive issue of paper by country banks. The statements were exaggerated, yet some regu- lations were necessary on that subject. He thought country bankers should be restrained from entering into other specu- lations. Mr. Vansittart then proposed, in the room of the nine first Resolutions of Mr. Horner, a general Resolution, lhat the King had a right, in virtue of his prerogative, to alter the nature of thu currency ; though he did not mean to say, that such an exeicise of his prerogative would not be unwise. He also wished to propose that the Notes of the Bank were a legal tender; and next, in no case had the Bauk failed to fulfil their engagements by payments in cash, unless pre- vented by the interference of Government; and, in fact, the restriction of 1797 was a matter of state policy. The hon. gentleman ( Mr. II.) proposed to resume the cash payments at the end of two years ; but could he, or any other person, foresee what would be the state of the country, either inter- nally or externally, at that period ? Mr. Vansittart con- cluded by giving his decided negative to the propositions of the hon. gentleman, and in lieu of them proposed those which he had stated tothe House, Mr. HUSKISSON said, in his opinion the speech of the right hon. gentleman ( Mr. V.) was one which struck at the root of our national credit. The right hon. gentleman said we had been trying one of the boldest experiments that had ever been tried, by instituting a Committee to enquire Into the state of our currency. Could there, however, be a subject more im- portant than an enquiry into the state of the coin of the country ? He was surprised the right hon. gentleman was not aware of the 14th cf the present King, " An Act for regu- lating the Weight of the legal Coin of the Realm;" and In that Act it was provided, that a guinea should weigh so much, and a shilling so much ; and that none other should be con- sidered as the legal coin of the realm. Would the right hon. gentleman, after this, say that the deteriorated coin at present in circulation called shillings, but which he called nothing more than counters, were legal currency ? ( Mr. H.) contend- ed that a tender in silver, in the present state of the coin, could only " be made by weight; and a tender in gold, altho' by law it might be made by tale, must be by weight also.— He was also prepared to contend, lhat gold and silver were money previous to their being coined, and merely a com- modity, the value of which must he regulated by comparing them with the price or value of any other commodity ; and, if gold or silver becomes scarce, a less quantity woultl serve all the purposes of a larger, as it would increase in value, and every other commodity would be cheaper in proportion; therefore to talk of a deficiency or excess of currency was ridiculous. The coin of the country could have no value but as to the weight of the metal it contained, and paper currency could have no value ljut in proportion to the coin which it represented ; therefore, if tbe paper currency could not be exchanged for the coin which it purposed to represent, that paper was depreciated. If a guinea were reduced to- one fourth of its weight, would it not be said to be deteriorated 25 per cent, and every one would say, so the gold would then be to the paper, as the paper is now to the standard of the country. With respect to Bank- notes, they certainly were not a legal tender, but the person refusing them might bring his action to recover his debt; the person, however, offering them in payment was so proteoted as to render them in ail respects a legal tender. He then proceeded to compare the relative value of the currency of gold and silver, and con- tender! that there could not exist in the same country two currencies of unequal value, though nominally of the same value ; since that which was of the full standard value would unavoidably disappear, and only that which was debased and deteriorated would remain. Thus, whether one part consist- ed of a depreciated paper currency, or of coin clipped and deteriorated, and Ihe other of coin of a standard value, the latter would disappear. Was not this the present state of our currency, differing greatly in weight and greatly in value, yet passing under the same denomination ? Under these cir- cumstances, was it possible, by any law, to prevent guineas being sent out of the country, when a profit of 25 per cent, might be made upon them ? The only mode of preventing it would be, to restore the coin to its proper standard. Lord CASTLEREACJH entered into an able defence of the present system, which was the great means of upholding the strength of the country. It was a protective principle, which, if once taken away, the security of the country would be en- dangered. The great object of Fiance was to destroy our finances. By the Berlin and Milan Decrees, she tried to destroy our commerce. Only take away our system of cur- rency, and these objects would in part be effected. The proportion which coin bore to paper in any country, depended on the hab. ts of the country; and if paper was the most abundant, it was a clear proof of the confidence that existed. He did not think that the high prices of commodities were owing tothe increased issues of the Bank of England, because the circulation was not greater than was necessary. A great deal had been said about the course of exchange, but he con- tended, that no one foreign merchant undervalued our Bank notes, or impeached the credit of the Bank. The departure of gold from the country was owing entirely to its high price, and there were authorities to prove that this price had greatlv risen at Amsterdam. Mr. Moaitis said, every man in the country felt bis per- sonal liberty affected by the law as it now stood. He instanced a case which occurred on the Ciicuit; a man had refused to take any thing but coin inpayment of his debt. The question came before the Common Pleas for judgment; and there it was held, that the man had a right to demand tbe legal coin of the realm in payment; and the difference between Ihe value of the gold and the. paper at this time might operate as a temptation to creditors to insist on payment in coin; and thus the personal liberty of the subject was en- dangered; and the only lemedy for it that he knew of at present was to make Bank notes a legal tender in all cases. The debate was then adjourned till to- morrow. HOUSE OF COMMONS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 8. Lord ARCHIBALD HAMILTON presented a Petition from the manufacturers of Paisley and its vicinity, signed by 30,000 individuals. The Petitioners stated, that for some time past they bad been utterly unemployed, and reduced to the necessity of depending on charitable assistance. They felt their grievance tbe more poignant, because not one of the Petitioners was permitted to vote for a Representative in Parliament. They attributed their misfortunes to the Con- tinental system, and the British Orders in Council ; and concluded by praying bis Royal Highness the Prince Regent to dismiss his present Ministers. Ordered to lie on the table. — Sir JOHN SINCLAIR presented a Petition from the Manu- facturers of Lanark. It stated that 15,000 workmen were entirely unemployed, and prayed for such relief as Parliament should think proper to grant them.— Ordered to lie on the table. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved for a Com- mittee to inspect the Journals of the House of Lords re- specting their loidsbips proceedings upon the Distillery bill. — Ordered. In a Committee of Supply, the following turns were voted, on the motions of Mr. Whartou :— To supply the deficit of printing for the House of Com- mons, in the year 1810 <£ 100,000 0 0 For printing ordered by the House of Lords 18,000 0 0 To Mr. Samuel Davies, to compensate him for any losses he may have sustained from cer- tain property belonging to him having been occupied for the use of his Majesty 4,687 4 7 The CHANCELCOR of the EXCHEQUER moved for the House resolving itself into a Committee to consider further of the Report of the Bulliou Committee.— The Speaker having left the Chair, Mr. Parnell, Sir T. Turton, Mr. Manning, Mr. Baring, Mr. Sharpe, Mr. Perceval, and Mr. Canning delivered their sentiments at great length ; and at four o'clock iu the morning the question was adjourned till to- morrow. The debate of the Bullion Report Was again resumed 011 Thursday, when Mr. Grenfell, Mr. W. Taylor, Mr, Davis Giddy, Mr. Long, Sir F. Burdett, Mr. Wilberforce, and Mr. Whitbread severally spoke, and Mr. Horner replied.— The House then divided 011 all Mr. Horner's Resolutions except the last: tbe numbers were, for the Resolutions 75, against thein 151— Majority 76— Another division then took | 4ace on Mr. Horner's last Resolution— for it 45, against it 180 — Majority 135.— I'he House adjourned at half past four 111 the morning. Last week, Mrs. Tnckey, - wife of Lieut. Tockey, R. N. and her two children, Mrs. Dore, Mrs. Alien, Mr § . Mount, and her daughter, arrived at Portsmouth, from Morlaix, — The three first- named ladies went from Portsmouth in a cartel, for the purpose of pro- ceeding to the depot prisons where their husbands are confined. After being detained at Morlaix for five weeks for passports, they were ordered lo be sent back again to England, with any other women that should arrive !— There is uo part of Bonaparte's conducf which so much discovers the malignity and hardness ot his heart, as his treatment of the prisoners w hom the chances of war have placed within his iron power! An afflicting detail has been laid on the table of the House of Commons, iii consequence of the humane endeavours of Sir S. Homilly to modify our Penal Laws. It is a return of the number of Commitments for Trial in the years 1805, 6, 7, 8, and 1809, " dis- tinguishing the Crimes, tbe Convictions, and the Sen- tences."— In London and Middlesex alone, it appears that the numbers were— Committed. Indicted. Convicted. 1805 - 980 - 931 - S5S 1806 - 899 - 855 - 475 - 1807 - 1017 - § 80 - 542 1808 - 1110 - 1074 - 619 1809 - 1242 - 1 197 - 750 To give an idea of the number of Commitments, Trials, and Convictions, for all England, we subjoin the return for the year 1809 :— Committed. Indicted, An unusual numbei of robberies have been lately com- mitted in the City of Exeter and its vicinilv. Tuesday morning, the house of Mr. T. Densham, of Okeford, was broken open and robbed by three ruffians, with their faces blackened. They ascendcd the stairs into a room where the housekeeper slept, whose brains they threatened to blow out, if she attempted to move or make the least noise; and the same threat they repeated to a servant- maid in an adjoining 00m; however, tbe housekeeper possessing an invincible courage, instantly rose from her bed, struck one of them in the face, and endeavoured to wrest the pistol from bis hand when Mr. D. alarmed by the bustle, was coming from his chamber to enq- iire the occasion of the uproar, the robbers met him, demanded his money, and made him open his bureau ; they then demanded his brass box which iie gave containing 31 guineas in gold, and fiom ihe bureau ihey took upwards of 60/. in bauk notes. They said they would hare more ; Mr. D. then offered them a 7U0/. country bank interest note, which they refused, asking what had become ot the money he had lately received ? he replied it was lodged in the bank ; upon which mey left the house, and have not since been heard of. Wben men of ability devote their time to public good, it is reasonable to hope that a remuneration, suited to the ad- vantages reaped from their experience, will be the result. This has been happily illustrated in the case of Dr. Solomon of Liverpool, in the extensive Sale which the Cordial Balm of Gilead has experienced, and incontestibly proves that it is the best MEDICINE ever discovered for those disorders which are now prevalent in this kingdom, and which for a length of time have baffled the skill and efforts of the most eminent physicians— we mean nervous aud Consumptive complaints This medicine has stood the test and answered the expecta- tions not only of a long private practice, but also of those who had recourse to it since it was made public for universal eootl.
