IHAVE lhe pleasure to inform you, thai the Lady, for whom you sent me the Stramonium herb to- bacco and OXymel, received such wonderful benefit from them as to surprise everyone who knows her ; indeed, her case was so deplorable, that no one thought she could'possi* bly gel the belter of it. It was di- itiessing to see her: sleep- less nights, loss of. flfcsh, appelite, and strength, constant Wheezing, and very frequent and violent fits of coughing; wh'ch shattered her almost to pieces, attended with extreme difficulty to expectorate, and the quantity she raised, in the course of A day and night, was at least a quarter of a pintj this weakened and wasted her so much, that she be- came unable to go up stairg, and scarcely able to walk across tlie room, without assistance. She had tbe advice of very eminent tifledifciU men ; took a vast quantity of medicine ; change ol air; wartrl baths; aud tried various nostrums, recommended to her ; but Without finding any real benefit from them. She is now free Irom cough; Sleeps well ; good dppetite ; and can Walk a mile or two iii a morning without any inconvenience or fatigue whatever. She found bent tit from smoakiug the first pipe ; since which she has regularly smoaked a pipe every evening, about an hour before bed- time, and 1 attribute her recovery entirely to the Stramoni- um herb tobacco, and the oxymel accompanying it. I am, Sir, your very obedient Servant, BEN. KITl'MER. The prepared heib for smoaking, and Oxymel, are sold by Harris, cornesof St. Paul's Church Yard ; and W.

JAMES RALPHS, Clerk of the Course. I have now the honour to inform you, lhat on the evening of the 30th I arrived off the Bay, the Unite and Scout in company ; tbe Scout joined in the morning, and Captain Sharpe having very handsomely volunteered his services to take charge of the landing party in the piojected attack, I consented to take the Scout under my orders. Al sun- set the Unite made the signal for an enemy's frigate at anchor. By day- break ou the 1st, the Pomofie was close off l. iamone, and I had the satisfaction to observe the enemy's three ships at anchor in Sagone Bay. It was nearly calm, and ihe variable winds which prevail at this season having thrown the Unite a long way astern, I abandoned mv design of attempt- ing to take the tower and battery by surprise; and it was fortunate I did so, for as the day opener) we could clearly observe the enemy in full possession of the heights, and ready to receive us. He appeared to have about 200 regular troops, with their field- pieces, & c. and a number of the armed inhabitants; the batterv, consisting of four gnns and one mortar, presented a more formidable appearance than I expected, and a gun was mounted on the martello tower, above the battery; the three ships were moored within a stone's throw of the battery, and had each two cables on shore ; their broadsides were presented to 11s. The smallest ship ( La Giraffe) hoisted a broad pendant; she appeared to be a sister- vessel to tbe Var, and shewed 13 guns on each side the main deck. The other ship ( La Nourrice) was much larger, and shewed 14 guns ; her lower- deck ports were open, but she had no gnus in them. The aimed ship was paitly hid by the Nourrice, so that we could not. make out herfoted. _ The Bay is so small, that it was impossible toapjiroach lbat they have mistaken the uature of your Rovai without being exposed to the raking fire of the whole.— Highness's entertainment, and supposed that it was to J — — be a masquerade." One of the legal Sages, who heard this observation, immediately said, " I perceive thai We are much concerned to state, that Capt. WillougH by, who fought his frigate in the East Indies till she lost nearly every man, is now totally deprived of sight; he lost one eye in the action iu the Dardanelles, and is now unfortunately deprived of the other, froin a wound h4 received at Port- au- Prince. The country is thus de- prived of the services of one of her most gallant aud meritorious officers. For several days past a lad, nine years of age, belong* mg to a respectable tradesman in Ihe neighbourhood of Paddington, has been mis.' ng. He was at school near that place, and not returning home at his usual hour, search and enquiry was made for him. No tidings were heard until last Tuesday morning, when be was found dead in one of the vaults in St. George's Chapel, Pad- dington. The body was standing against the wall of the vault. It is conjectured that the poor boy had been led there by curiosity to see a funeral, and that having been inadvertently shut up, he died of fright. Two legal characters, of high distinction, who are more remarkable for professional learning and jud"-- ment than knowledge of the habits and" manners Sf fashionable life, were present at the late festival at Car- leton- house, but their wigs, and the whole of their attire gave them so grotesque an aspect, that Ih6 Prince asked Mr. Jokyll if he had noticed his brethren J " Yes," said the wag 5 " but I cannot help thinkin « O 4- IK/.., :„ « ._! • 1 . O ' FT Rats and Mice EFFECTUALLY DESTROYED, BY J. SMITH. THIS REMEDY, which has never failed where a sufficient Quantity has been used, is in Pills, about the Size of a Nut, one of which is sufficient to destroy the largest Rat," and, broken into Pieces, will kill six Mice. They will eat the Pills in Preference to all Kinds of Food, and never cease eating while one exists ; yet no Cat wilt touch them unless starved wilh Hunger; and as tbe Venniii neither eat, drink, or vomit, after eating of the Pills, they cannot infect any Thing; therefore they may be put with Safety in Larders, Dairies, Granaries, Cheese- Rooms, Corn- Stacks, Pastrycook- Shops, & c. nor is there the least Danger in handling them. They will bear carrying by Sea or Land, and retain their Virtue several Years. The Pills may be had, with printed Directions inclosed in each Packet, 24 Pills for Is.— 60 for 2s. 6d. and so in Proportion for any Quantity, Wholesale or Retail, of W.

If Rats or Mice are found living in any Place where tbe Pills are left untouched for three successive Nights, if laid down according to the Directions 111 the Packets, the Proprietor will attend personally, and kill them Gratis. Notwithstanding their strong position, the crews of each ship came forward in the most noble manner, aud volunteered their services to land, or, as it was quite calm, even to attack the enemy's ships with the boats. Captains Chamber- layne and Sharpe both agreed with me, that we could do nothing hy landing, and it would have been madness to send the boats; however, I signified ( by telegraph) that it was my intention to attack as soon as a breeze sprung up. As the calm continued, at half past five P. M. I gave up all the hopes of the sea breeze, and fearing any longer delay would enable the enemy to increase his force, I determined on towing the ships in. My pen is too feeble to express mv admiration of Ihe zealous antl spirited conduct of the boats' crews employed on this service; the same zeal animated each ship's company, and by six o'clock having towed into a position within range of grape, we commenced the action, which lasted, without any intermissiou, till about half past seven, when smoke was observed to issue from the Giraffe ; soon after La Nourtice was in a blase, and the merchantman was set on fire by the brands IVom La Nilurrice; at this time the baitery and tower were silenced, and in ten minutes the three ships were completely on fire. I lost no time in towing our ships out of harm's way, where we waited the explosions, which took place in succession. The Giraffe blew up about ten minutes before nine, snon after La Nourrice exploded, and some of her timbers falling on the tower entirely demolished it, and the sparks set fire to the battery, which also blew up: the object of our attack being thus completely executed, 1 stood out to sea, to get clear of the wrecks, and to repair our damages. No language of mine can do justice to the gallantry of those I had the honour to command, I am particularly indebted lo Captains Cbainberlayne and Sharpe, for their spirited exertions and cordial co- operation throughout the whole of the affair. I am sensible my narra- tive is already too prolix, but I cannot conclude ' iihout assuring you that the officers and crews of the ships behaved with the greatest courage and coolness. The Pooioue, frorti being enabled to choose her station, was, of course, ex- posed to the brunt of the action, and has consequently suffered most; though, considering the enemy's fire ami position, our ships have escaped much better than could have been expected. When all conspicuously distinguished themselves, it is impossible to seleet out individuals; but 1 should be most shamefully wanting in my duty to my country, and to the inerilsofa most deserving set of officers, if I were to neglect acquainting you, that I received from them every assistunce it was possible toexpect. Lieutenant J, W. Gabriel, first of the Pomone, conducted himself with the same spirit and zeal which has uniformly distinguished his conduct. 1 enclose the Repoit of the killed, wounded, & c. It is but justice to declare that the enemy kept up a very smart tiie, and behaved with great bravery. 1 can form no opinion of their loss.— 1 have tile honour to be, & c. ( Signed) ROBERR BARRIE. P. S. From one of the crew belonging to the Nourrice, who was picked up by the Unite's boai, I am informed rhat tbe ships were all deeply laden with sh: p timber, and that, having observed 11s tbe preceding day, every preparation was made to give us a warm reception ; and that, in addition to the four ijun battery, La Nourr. ce hatl landed her quarter, deck gnus. The regular troops posted on the heights were above SCO, exclusive of the marines from the ships and the arihed pt- a- antiy. La Nourrice he states to be about 1100 ions, La Giraffe 900 tons, the merchantman 500 tons; La Giraffe had about 140 men, La Nourriee 160 men.

It is said that a letter from an officer of tbe 11 Ik dragoons sta es, that the whole of his regiment, 800 strong, had been refre'.'- ed at Belem, and had received orders on the Sth nit. to march to Elvas, where it was to arrive on the 19th, eleven days being given for a journey of 120 miles, no expectation existing of a bat- tle before that time. A part of the 9lh and 12th dra- goons, with some of the Scotch Greys, were also' on the road ; and, in the whole, the reinforcement of cavalry now obtained nearly approaches 2000 men. Paris papers to the 7th instant contain the annuae Exposition of the State of France, such as Bonapartt chooses lo describe it. It sets out with the subject nearest to his heart, the hope of creating a navy that shall wrest the dominion' of the ocean from its present masters. He knows full well that territorial plunder und usurpation, however extensive, cannot raise him to the top of his ambition, anil that the trident of Nep- tune is the sceptre of the world. The extension of his empire lo the shores of the Baltic, and of the Adriatic, he therefore chiefly boasts of the means and facilities whicJi it affords of enabling him to accomplish this ob- ject. T , e pledge of peace, he says, is in his fleet; aod he shall be able to make peace with safety, when he shall have 150 ships of the line. The Exposition then proceeds to a review of his internal improvements, and concludes with the subject which is, perhaps, at present, only secondary in his thoughts to that with which it commenced— the war in the Peninsula. He boasts of his triumphs over Spain, of the capture of her stron » places, of numberless stands of colours, and prisoners 1 but he at the same time confesses, that it is only by ex- hausting our finances, and gradually wearing out our armies by the new forces which his extensive population affords, that he hopes finally to overcome us.

Tarragona, we are happy to find, continues to make a vigorous resistance. The captain of the Archduke Charles, who has ar- rived in Loudon from Lima, states, lhat before life sailed, it was notorious at that city that the mines of Potosi had been taken possession of by the Revolution- ists at Buenos Ayres, und in consequence of this unfa- vourable news the Government of Lima, fearing that they should not have sufficient specie to pay the troops, applied to the Captain of the Archduke Charles to re- turn a portion of the dollars he had shipped. The Captain apprehending that some compulsion might be Used in a case in which he had no discretion, cut his cables anil made his escape.

The fractional parts of the Dividends al the Bank were paid yesterday in the new three shilling tokens. The crowd of claimants was excessive. It is a curious fact, that the wreath enclosing the value of the coin is an exact imitation of that on the small French coin made at the beginning of the Revolution, of bell metal. During the last fortnight, further Writs of Inquiry, from the Board of Excise, have been executed before a Jury, held at the Augel Inn, Bury St. Edmunds, when 11 persons of that county, in tiie malt and beer trades, were found deficient ia payment of duties to the amount of 73721.

There was much distress on account of the scarcity of provisions, and the Janissaries were again threatening a commotion. The ininds of the people were so much agitated, that it was supposed if peace were not obtained, the Grand Seignior was IU great danger of assassination. Accident.— Ou Monday last, Mr. Samuel Foote, Solicitor, at Salisbury, went with some gentlemen, who, as assignees under a commission of bankrupt, under which Mr. Foote also was employed, to take the inventory of the said bankrupt, a chemist and druggist in lhat city ( Mr. Cotes), and in moving some of the bottles, and putting them down from the shelves to ascertain their contents, he took the stopper from one in particular of a large size, which he held in his left hand, when the bottle immediately exploded with a tremendous shock, shattering and carrying away Ho- led arm which held the bollle, a little below thc elbow, and also destroying the thumb of tiie right band. The cause of this calamitous accident has aot been explained.

In We understand his Koyal Hig this view it was proposed, that triplicates should he made " ' ~ of the entries of credit ; one for account of the individual party ; a second for the General Bank in London; and a third for conservation iu the Tower. This would be snffi cient to. do away generally any apprehensions 011 such scores. Under such a system, it would net be necessary lo limit the issues of the Bank, as suggested by his friend, a noble murqnis then absent, lo I heir present amount.— They may be allowed a much larger circulation. All this pro- ceeded oh the conviction of their solvency, which they would be afforded frequent opportunities of proving And for the farther satisfaction of Parliament and the Country, the Government antl Company sliould'be required to lay before both Houses, at an early period in each Session, an exact account of the numbers in circulation. Under such a system, a plan may be adopted to prevent forgeries as to the notes themselves. A practice, which the present wretched engravings of those instruments only tends lo encourage; and which tli'e Directors seemed to adopt from a principle of mistaken economy. The noble Earl read, in the course of his speech, fourteen resolutions, of, which the principal substance and effect is above given, only formally detailing tbe same in technical and Parliamentary language. He first proposed that the Resolutions do lie 011 the table for tbe objects he had stated 011 the outset of Li's address. The Earl of LAUDERDALE strongly objected to tbeie lordships adopting any proceeding whatever, in the present instance, on tbe propositions of his noble friend He should rather think whit his noble friend meant was, that what he now said should be regarded as a species of notice uf bis 111k niion to submit such propositions on some future day, than as expressive of his desire to obtain a vote of the House 011 topics of such extent, importance, and magni- tude, without any previous notice being given, in the present circumstances of the Session, or iu an attendance so extremely thin as the present. For his part, he could The Dublin Evening ' Po'st of ' the 8th of July, contains copies from a correspondence, touching the milliner in which Mr. Cilrran was appointed Master of the Rolls in Ireland, when the late Administration was formed The facts recited in these documents, or rather in a letter from Mr. Curran to Mr. Griiftan, which is the first of the scriesj iiave been for a considerable time a subject of conversation in the circles conversant in Irish affairs. It appears that there was an engagement of very long standing between the leading members of the Whig party in Ireland, accord- ing to which, whenever that party should come into office, Mr. Ponsouby was to have tbe first office In the law depart- ment, and Mr. Curran calculated upon being Attorney- General for Ireland, when Mr. Ponsonby became Chancellor for that country. But he found, with some disappointment, that he was to he Master of Ihe Rolls; and even his ap- pointment to that office could not be effected without pen- sioning the actual incumbent, Sir Michael Smith, who, besides his own pension, stipulated for a pension of i'Siio a 1 office of i'lioo, for bis deputy, Mr. Ridgway, and not agree in acceding to any propositions which involved the supposition of Ihe insolvency of the Bank of England. This was a consideration which he, and those with whom he blQo a year each for his train- bearer and eriet. An affaifge- nent for Sir Michael's resignation, 011 these terms, being year, or an ' ment .. PHI formally made, Mr. Curran became Master of the Rolls for Ireland, which office he still hi - But the Administra- tion being shortly after dissolved, the engagements entered into with Sir Michael Smith for pensions or offices toiMV. Ridgway, and the crier and train- bearer, no longer attached to the Government, but became personal obligations on the persons who made them. In these circumstances, Mv. Curran, it seems disclaimed the obligations to make good those pensions as applying to him. The demand was then made upon Mr. Ponsonby, who it appears, has submitted to it, and made . good the pensions stipulated, but always insisted that they ought to have been made good by Mr. Curran. A reference was proposed to adjust this point, but eacli party declining to present a first statement of the facti- and circumstances to the referees, the reference was never carried into effect. Iu the Court of Common Pleas, 011 Thursday, Mr. Fuller the apothecary, brought his action against Mr- Montgomery anil others, the executors of the lale Duke of tiueeUsberry, t- o recover- j? 10,000 for attending his Grace, duriug seven years, us a professional man. Mr. Serjeant Vaughau opened the case 011 the part of the plaintiff, Mr. F. who had brought this action against the executors of his Grace the Duke of QuMnsberi y to recover a compensation for professional services during the last seven years of bis life. The claim was a large one, and'the services were the most arduous that could he, perhaps, found Under any circumstances, In 1803 his Gracc of Qucensberry had parted with his former apothecary, and if became necessary to look for auother. He was 78, and subject to a diversity of complaints, and being attacked by severe illness, it was necessary to look for a person on whom he could depend. Mr. Fuller was established as a medical mail in a great way of business. He had. received 70 guineas for services, during 117 nights, but that sum was independent of the present demand.- His Grace was pleased with Mr. Fuller, and beiug subject to a vertigo, be was apprehensive that some error would be committed by those who had the care of him, and unless he had the services of a medical mail, might be lost. Mr. Fuller was under the necessity of mak- ing personal sacrifices to attend by the Duke's order, and when he ( the learned Serjeant) should shew that Mr. Fuller was in great business, the Jury would say lhat he ought not to suffer bv neglecting that business to attend 011 Ihe Duke. He attended ti ll his Grace's death iu 1810, and in Ihe course of seven years he slept 1315 nights in liis Grace's house ; during that time he alsc made. 9340 visits, of two hours each, comprising 111 the whole a prodigious portion of time. His Grace insisted 011 his attendance nt all times. He was called up in the course of the night bv desire of Ihe Duke, and the Duke 011 these occasions would not let liini go to bed, keeping him many hours confined in a dark room, and itwns only when the Duke fell into a doze that he could get to his bed. Mr. Fuller had affixed lo these exertions the reward of £ 10,000 as a recompense, which had met the approbation of the Earl of Yarmouth, who posse ssed a con- siderable portion of the £ 1,120,000 left by the Duke at his death.— Michael Guinmo, John Kettci'. dge, and Louis Dubois, servants lo the late Duke of Queeiisherry, prov- ed that the plaintiff was constantly a'uout the Duke's person.— Tbe Earl of Yarmouth Sir Harry Halford, Dr. Ainslcy, ar. d Mr. Home deposed tbat the charge was 11 a sonablc, considering the sacrifices made by the plaintiff.- » - Mr. Serjeant Shepherd contented, on the part of the exe- cutors, that the plaintiff's demand could 1101 be discharged without the decision of a Court of Law. He attributed the present claim lo a disappointment, which tbe plaintiff had sustained by not receiving a legacy from! the Duke.— The Judge lett the Jury to decide, whether the Duke had pro- mired to remunerate Mr. Fuller for bis servicts, as in that ease lie could recover a moderate reward for his assistance. The Jury retired from the box, and oil their return found for the plaintiff— Damages £ 7500. Concision.— About a week ago, in Dublin, the Society for discountenancing Vice, which chiefly consists of Clergy- men of 1 he Established Religion, were met together, when the Professor of" the Scriptures ( the Rev Matthew Crawley) from the Roman Catholic College of Maytiooth, requested an interview with them, which being obtained, he stated thcthis object was to declare his iutention of leuouuciiig the errors of Popery, and to become a Member of the Church of England, aud lhat ISO of his pupils were ready to follow his example. The Society informed him, that the business WHS inconsistent with the objects of their institution ; but Hint after Ihe Meeting should be closed, tbey would, as private individuals, communicate with liiin. A conference took place accordingly, the result of w hich is explained hy the following paragraph which appeared in the Dublin Correspondent of the 8th instant:— " Yesterday the Rev.

A fifth assault, given on the preceding day, had led to a terrible massacre, the example of which Would be long remembered in Spain. Four thou- sand men were killed in the town, and a thousand killed or drowned in endeavouring to escape ; 10,000 prisoners would be sent to France. Soult, in a letter of June 21, states that he had, on the Igth, been informed of the English having raised the siege of Badajoz ; that they had abandoned their position at Albuera ; evacuated Oiiyenza ; and withdrawn their troops to the right bank of the Guadiana, on the side of Elvas. In tbe afternoon of the same day, he received a letter from the Governor of Badajoz, Philippon, confirming the enemy's retreat. He professes to regret that a general engagement lins been avoided, and hopes that one limy soon take place. Letters from Koilingsbiirgh give an account of a most dreadful conflagration which took place in that town, June It). Upwards of 400 houses were burnt; a great many warehouses filled with Colonial produce, and manufactured articles, estimated at two millions sterling. The fire is supposed to have been kindled by some incendiaries iu the ( lay of France, By the Gae. net gun brig arrived at Portsmouth, and which sailed from Cortiinia 011 Ihe 30th ult. Government have received dispatches, of which the following abstract has been circulated. Extract of an authentic letter from Comma, dated June 29:— " 1 have the honour to inform you, that 011 the 13th inst. the enemy evacuated entirely the province of Asturias, marching 3000 men, under Gen. Bonnet, by I'acbarcs to- wards Leon, and the remainder, about 9000 men, by El 111- fieiito towards Santander. The Asturian force, under Gen Pohl, have since possessed themselves of Oviedo and Gijon. — Gen. Santorildes, with the Gallic ian army, consisting of 10,000 men, arrived on the 19th inst. before Astorga; 011 the'uiornin'g of the 20th the French garrison blew up the fortifications, and retired by La Bericza, towards Benevente. Gen Santocifdcs ( who was governor of that town when be- sieged by Gen. Junot) was received with great rejoicing, aud his popularity in that place has enabled him considerably to augment his force with men and arms ; 011 the 23d his advanced guard at Cogorderos, near Leon, encompassed a party of 2000 of the enemy, with whom they sustained a fight of some hours, until reinforced b v Gen. Santoeildes with his cavalry, v. ho pursued them to ilie bridge of Ahijo, causing them great loss. Three battalions have within these few. day's marched front hence to reinforce Gen. Sau- tucildes; and this morning thi'ee companies of artillery, with six G- poundera and a quantity of military stores, marched- from this town for Astorga— The troops that es- acted, in all the discussions which took place ou the sub ject, had never called in question, however they inay differ in sentiment as to the restrictions upon the Bank or their continuance Neither could li<; accede to any proposition for the Legislature giving its sanction to a principle which militated against that of the precious metals being tbe preferable circulating medium. Tl'is se v- eie points of weighty and serious importance, and not to be lightly agi- tated, and still less lightly decided upon. What struck him as the most advisable v. ay of proceeding at present was, to move lo adjourn the debate to a future day : lie should suggest Tuesday. Earl STANIIOPF, 111 explanation, depvecated the idea of any thing being advanced 111 llie resolutions which went to infer a want ot solvency on the part of the Bank ; on the contrary, the whole of tbe proposed system went npon tlic principle that the Bank was amply solvent, and the effect of what he proposed would be to augment and establish its solidity ; and the more to evince that such was his convic- tion, he was ready to strike out those words from tl. e resolutions which possibly gave rise to the idea. He re- quested his uoble friend lo recollect he had offend no motion upon the subject, tending to imply the sanction of the House. He trusted that whenever this important sub- ject should come to be discussed, it would be considered more in the spirit of a deliberative than a debating Assem- bly.— As to the proposed mode he had no objection : and moved, accordingly, that the Lords be summoned for Tues- day next. The debate arising oh tbe above was then ordered to lie adjourned till Tuesday, and their Lordships to be sum- moned for that day.— Adjourned till Monday. liness the Commander- in- Chief, on Saturday, issued a Regimental Order allowing the Privates of the Army lo at, end divine worship agreeable to their several religious tenets.

CIRCULATING MEDIUM. Earl STANHOPE said he felt it is duty to bring forward some further propositions respecting this important sub- ject. What he had proposed already, what their Lordships had done'in consequence, and what, he trusted, the House off ominous would do before ll; e close of tlie Session, was by no melius sufficient for the attainment of the object he had in view. This would lie found so. The Bill which he bad proposed, lie, from the beginning, had expressed liis wish to be uiiclcrstood, v. ns only an incipient, an ihtroduc tory measure, and something farther was essentially necessary to follow upon it. In effect, if lie might he allowed to speak figuratively, What lie had proposed was 110 more than a pnltinlivc remedy— a plarster for the wound ; 1 nay, a plaister merely calculated to keep the wasps and | fiies from the wound until the next Session of Parliament. ! What he proposed now, was a number of propositions, which be wished Ihe House would order to lie printed, in order that I hey may be generally known and considered, not only by their Lordships, but' by tbe public at large. This lie meant as the foundation of a general and comprehensive system, for securing an efficient aud ntver failing circulat- ing medium to the count ry, which was so necessary under pre- sent circumstances, when, from various causes, it was im- practicable to use what Were technically- called ti e precious meliils, as such. Under the present system, it would be in the highest decree unjust to reudc r the Bank notes a legal tender. He meant generally, as individuals may cosily he placed in circumstances, yv. th reference to the possibility o! a fictitious or ( urged note being passed upon them, that • whefher they refused or accepted t\-, e tendered note, they may he equally losers-.— With resptet io the Public Credi- tors, they may safely be rendered a legal tender, because their payments coining directly from the Bank, II. ere was no fear e, f forgery. But the system which lie proposed to ' substitute, and which it would be found eie long necessary 10 adopt, or something like it, wne- sncb as would do away all apprehensions of ihe kind The system, as recom- mended by . liis resolutions, v. as. to constitute branches from the Bank of England, in the different Counties, so tiiat they may pervade tiie whole—- that books of credit should be opened at various certain placts, where notes to any amount, or for very small sums should be received from individuals, at their pleasure, aud an equivalent credit given to them in the Bank Books so distributed, for the money lodged— that t'r. e power of transfer should be allowed fropi eoulily to county, or from place to place. This was a system which v. onld preclude the necessity of regarding gold, silver, or even copper, as the fixed and invariable cir- culating medium— a system, which recent and long con- tinued experience has proved lo be utterly impracticable, on account of their fluctuation in price aid occasional James's Palace:— " Windsor Castle, July 13. 1311.• afresh accession of his disorder." Report of the Capture of a French Fleet. The town has been very much agitated the whole of the day, with reports from Falmouth and accounts inserted in the Hants Courier and other papers, of the capture of 9 sail of Ihe line, 3 frigates, and from 7 to 8000 troops, in the Bay of Rosas, by Admiral Cotton, We should be happy if, from a strict investigau. iu of the subjcct we could encourage the hope of the glori- ous intelligence being confirmed. On the contrary, there is a reason to believe that nothing tending to the confirmation of such an oent has reached the Admi- ralty, or any other department of Government. And had this important capture been really, as it is said, forwarded from Ajanxuite lo Lord Wellington, his Lordship most certainly would not have failed to have forwarded intelligence of so pleasing a nature to his Majesty's ministers by the Mermaid frigate, which left Lisbon on the lsl insL— The Princess Charlotte packet brought the first reports ot the naval achievement in question, she sailed on the « 8il tilt, and had the account been confirmed, the Mermaid must have known at Ihe time of sailing on tl. e lst iust. For these reasons vie cannot give credit lo' tiie naval victory alluded to ; but we should not rejoice the less on finding v. e have been mistaken. The report of the capture of the enemv's ships, it is conjectured, may have originated in the affair of Sagone Bay, when according to Captain Barrie's official re- port, detailed in the Gazette of Tuesday the Dlh iust. prizes had been made of several of the enemy's ships. The Swilt schooner has reached one of tlie out- jiorts from the Mediterranean, but has not brought any in- telligence of any such event; jet the rumour is not wholly discountenanced at the public offices. Dispatches are ^ rr. i^ ed from Lord V, cllington, dated the 20th ult. they. state- that his Lordship, in pursuance to his original intention, had effected his retreat across the Guadiana in perfect order, and had taken up a position extending from Campo Mayor to Elvas. He had been there joined by Sir Brent Spencer, making In Visiting Clergyman tins week at thfi Infirmary, the Rev, Mr. Matthews House- Visitors Joscfth Carless, Esq. and Mr. Drinkwater. At the 1: 1st weekly Board it was repotted lhat Mr. Cor- field, of Castle Hill, had uuguieuted his? tbsci'iption from one to two guineas per annum. Additional Subscriber lo Prison Charities.

At our Town Sessions 011 Monday last, Robert Williams was found guilty of stealing a coat, the property of Mr. Robert Gray, salesman, of this town, and sentenced to be transported for seven years.— Richard Hill, convicted of stealing an iron gudgeon and gearing, from the colliery of Mr. Boothby and Co. and William H iighe3, of stealing a bridle from Mr. Edward Tisdale, innkeeper, of this town, were ordered to be imprisoned twelve months. Robert Williams has been before transported for picking pockets, and had served his lime out on hoard the hulks. At 111- County Sessions yesterday, George MOnat, for stealing Shiffnal lunik notes at Fordhouse, was remanded for trial at the ensuing assizes — Elis.

Hodge, esq. for the murdei of his- negro slave Prosper.— On the 8th instant. « as executed behind the jail in this town, the hon A. W. Hodge, a propiieior and one ol the members of his Majesty's Council in this island, for the murder of one of his own negroes, of the name of Prosper. The prisoner on bis trial, being put to the bar, pleaded not guilty. The first witness called' to prove the charge was a free woman of colour, of the name of Pareen Georges. She stated that she was in the habit of attending at Mr. Hmice's estate to wash linen; that one day Prosper " came . to. her to borrow 6s. being the sum that his' master required of htm, because amaiigo had fallen from a tree, which ( he) Prosper was set to watch. He told the witness that he miiSt either find the 6s. or be flogged ; that the witness had only 3s. which she gave him, hut that it did not appease Mr. Hodge : that Prosper was flogged for upwards of an hour, receiving more than 100 lashes, and threatened bv his master, that if he did not bring the remaining 3s. on the next day, the flogging should be repeated ; that the next day he was tied to a tree, and flogged for such a length of time, with the thong of the whip doubled, that his head fell back, and that he ' could bawl no more. From thence he was espied to the sick- house, and Chained to two other negroes ; that he remained in this confinement during five days, at the end of which time his companions broke awav and thereby reteased him ; lhat he was unable to abscond ; that he went to the negro- hOose, and shut himsejf up; that he was fonnd there dead, and in a state of putrefaction, some days afterwards ; that crawlers were in his wonnds, and not a piece of black flesh < vas to be seen on the hinder part of his body where he hail been flog- ged.— Stephen M'Keogb, a white man, who bad lived as manager on Mr. Hodge's estate, deposed, that he saw the defeased, Prosper, after he had been so severely flogged ; that he could put his finger in his side ; he saw him some days before his death in a cruel state; he could not go near hi A for the blue flies. Mr. Hodge badtold the witness, while he was in his employ, that, if the work of the estate was not done, he was satisfied if he heard the whip. This was the evidences gainst the prisoner. His Counsel, in their attempt to impeach the veracity of the witnesses, called evidence as to his general character, which disclosed instances of still greater barbarity on the part of Mr. Hodge. Among other examples, the Witness, Pareen Georges, swore that he had Occasioned the death of bis cook, named Margaret, by pouring boiling water down her throat. Before'the Jury retired, the prisoner addressed them as follows* " Gentlemen, as bad as I have been represented, or as bad as yoiunay think me, 1 assure you, that 1 feel sup- port in my affliction from entertaining a proper sense of re- ligion. As all men are subject to wrong, I canuot but sr. v that that principle is likewise inherent in me. I acknowledge myself guilty in regard to, many of my slaves; but I call God to witness my innocence in respect IO the inurd- r of Prosper. 1 am sensible that the country thirsts for toy blood, and I am ready to sacrifice it." The Jury, after deliberation, brought in a verdict of guilty. There were six other indictments on similar charges against the prisouer. Aftei, as well as previous to, bis condemnation, and to the last moment of his life, Mr. Hodge persisted in his innocence of the crime for which he was about to suffer. He acknowledged that he had been a cruel master ( which, as he afterwards said, was all he meant in his admission to the Jury of his guilt in regard to others of bis slaves) ; that be had repeatedly flogged his negroes; that Ibey had then run away, when, by their own neglect, and the consequent ex- posure of their wounds, the death of some of them had possibly ensued. He denied all intention of causing the death of any one, and pleaded Ihe unruly and insubordinate disposition of his whole gang as the motive of his severity. These were the sentiments in which he died. From the time time of his condemnation to that of bis execution, this un- happy man was attended at suitable hours in each day by a clergyman, whose pious labours brought him, we believe, to sincere contrition, and, when not buoyed up by the vain hope of » respite, which he indulged to the last, to a Christian resignation to bis fate. On the evening preceding his exe- cution, he took leave of I\ ls three young children, which so overpowered him, as lo make it a matter of doubt if he would ever be restoied to tranquillity. In the morning, how. ever, he was calm, and acquired still greater fortitude by receiving tbe sacrament. He walked with fiimness to the place of execution, addressing several persons by name in the surrounding crowd, forgave his enemies, and was launched into eternity.— Thousands of peisons witnessed the awful spectacle, some of whom rather indecently expressed exultation. Mr. Hodge entered the world with good prospects And advantages He was a gentleman commoner of Oriel College, Oxford. He came out some vcars ago to visit his property iu Tortola, which is not among the most civilised of our colonies. He felt Ihe superority of his attainments over those whom be associated with, and indulged himself in satirical verses and lampoons at their expense. Those whom his 6atires did not leach, he averted from him by his habitual and fatal in- dulgence in most ungovernable paroxysms of auger and pas- sion. Thus he lived in a community where he scarcely had a friend or an associate. He was a man of great accom- plishments and of elegant manners, and at the time of his death was, we believe, about AO years of age. He bad been thrice married. Happily, neither of Ins wives lived to see his last disgrace. Bv his second ladv he has left a daughter about 15 years of age, now irr England ; by his last, three children, cf whom the oldest is about eight, and the youngest four years old. The fate of tbe wrelc. hed Mr. Hodge ii a striking proof of the tendency of the Slave Trade to brutalize a mind once humane and well informed. Such instances, we fear, have been common enough, but it was left for the present more enlightened times to bring them into proper notice. GENERAL ORDERS. Horse Guards, Is/ July, 1311. Ail General Officers, when dressed in their uniforms as such, are hereafter to wear one Aiguilette oil the right shoulder, instead of Epaulettes They are likewise tn wear plain hats with the usual cord and tassels, with ostrich leathers ronnd the brim. No other officer or soldier of any description whatever is to \ Yenr white feathers round the brim of the hat.— This is henceforth to be considered the ex- clusive distinction of a General Officer. General Officers of Cavalry are to wear the Cavalry Fe-. » her with the St. fr Loop. Regimental Officers of Cavalry are likewise to wear the Star Loop with their dressed Regimentals. General Officers'of Infantry are to wear the stand- up Infantry fea'her with the sealed loop. Aides du- Camp of General Officers of Cavalry, and Majors of Brigade Attached to Brigades of Cavaliy, are to wear Aiguilette-. on the right shoulder. Aides- du- Ckmp to General Officers of Infantry, and Brigade Majors att ached to Brigades of Infantry, are to wear Epaulettes as heretofore. This Order is lo cancel those of the 8th and 18th ultimo. By Older of his Royal Highness the Commander in Chief. HARRY CALVERT, Adjutant- General Nuisance.— The King v. Webb and others, Proprie- tors of tbe Birmingham Flour and Bread Company.— This was a prosecution by indictment under the statute of 6th Geo. I. preferred by the Milleisand Bakers of that town and neigbbouthood against Mr. Webb and others, proprietors and conductors of the Union Flour and Bread Company, as being a joint stock company and prohibited by that statute, which indictment was tried at the summer assizes, 1809, before the hon. Mr. Justice Heath, when the Jury returned the following verdict: " That its original institution was laudable, that it " was beneficial to the town of Birmingham and continues to be so, but is prejudicial to the Millers and Bakers."— This case was argued last Easter term in the Court of King's Bench, before all the Judges, when Lord Ellenborough said, as it was a base of great importance, the Court would take time to Consider of their judgment.— On the 3d instant Lord Ellenborough delivered the unanimous opinion of the Court in favour of the defendants, to the following effect: His lordship first observed, that the Court must lay out of the case the finding tbat it is now prejudicial to the trade, being aii error in the special verdict. It is found to have been a laudable institution, and still is beneficial, and it is not found to have been injurious to any body. It is made out only to a certain extent, that the shares are transferable, the person faking the shares must enter into the same covenants as the original subscriber. It is not made out that they have as- sumed to act as a corporation. The act of 6th Geo. 1. was made in the burst ing of the south sea bubble. The recital of that statute seems to refer to schemes thnt were a common grievance. What is illegal may be divided into two classes : 1st, What are described in the recital ; 2dlv, what are to tne common grievance— transferable shares, & c Upon this view iff the statute, we cannot say it is a nuisance merely to raise a large capital in small shares ; it must be accompanied by other circumstances mentioned iu the act. The act does not apply indiscriminately to all subscriptions. It may admit of doubt, whether raising transferable shares is Per se within the act. In the qualified extent in which these shares are transferable, they cannot be - considered within the act. For these rer, sons the facts stated do not bring the defendants within the statute as guilty of any offence, consequently there must be judgment of acquittal on all the counts cf the indictment-. Trinity Term, in 1808. Of these one hundred and fourteen, 102 have never been called on; 19 nf the earliest stood over at the instance of the parties,— The number of petitions on Bankruptcies remaining to be heard by the Chancellor is two hundred and five. In pursuance of their instri » : tions, your Committee pro- ceeded to examine into all the fees and emoluments taken by the Lord High Chancellor, in his jurisdiction of Chancellor, as well as from Commissions of Bankruptcy ; and the evidence of Mr. Pensam distinctly shows the annual amount of the emoluments of the last nine years ; exclusive of those which arise to tbe Lord Chancellor, in hi9 capacity as Speaker of the House of Lords. It will be found, that From 14th April 1801 to 5th April 1802 . .£ 9,926 12 7 From 5th April 1802 to 5th April 1803 - 10,013 8 11 From 5th April 1803 io 5th April 1804 - 10,447 5 6 From 5th April 1804 to 5th April 1805 - 10,4+ 9 6 4 From 5th April 1805 to 6th Feb. 1806 - 9,390 9 7 From 1st April 1807 to 5th April 1808 - 11,690 17 11 From 5th April 1808 to 5th April 180$ - 10,93.5 2 6 From 5th April 1809 to 5th April 1810 - 12,106 10 10 From 5th April 1810 to. 5th April 1811 - 15,532 13 0 The examination of John Woodcock, Esq. Secretary of Bankrupts, and of other witnesses, will iti a great measure ascertain the different sources fiom which the emoluments of Ihe office are derived. A considerable part of the emoluments of the office of Lord Chancellor is, and, as your Committee Understand; has been for a very long course of years, derived from fees nominally paid to the Secretary pf Bankrupts, but who ac- counts for sucb fees to the Lord Chancellor himself, and is allowed by the Lord Chancellor a certain fixed salary in lieu of such nominal fees. Your Committee cannot see this with- out observing, that it appears to them highly inexpedient that the emoluments of any judicial officer should be con- stituted in part of fees not ostensibly payable to himself, but to an inferior officer. If more than the proper fees should be alleged to have been taken by the Ministerial officer, the complaint must be made to his superior, the Judge of the Court, who would in that case have to sit in judgment upon such alleged abuses, from which, if they existed, he would himself derive a benefit. If it should be thought that any alterations might be made in this respect, and if the salary and other emoluments of the Lord Chancellor, exclusive of such fees, should be deemed insufficient for the office, your Committee would suggest the propriety of increasing the sa- lary, and abolishing altogether the fees in question, which though they do not appear to be of great amount in each Commission, yet can be considered in no other light than as a tax npon distrees and insolvency. Henry Cowper, Esquire, was also examined as to the amount of the fees received by the Loid High Chancellor In his capacity of Speaker of the House of Lords, from the Session commencing January, 1801, to the Session com. mencing January, 1810, inclusive, as follows:— The following Is an account of thd amount of the Bank of England Notes in circulation on tbe 25th of each of the last six months, distinguishing the amount of those above and below £ 5 :— Bank Notes of £ 5 and upwards, 1811. including Bank Post Bills.

F. Brooke, Esq. of Henbury, near Bristol a most beautiful tesselated pavement, more perfect than any hitherto found, even in this interesting county, has been discovered. Mr. B. on being apprized ofthe va luable treasure, With most commendable zeal aud pru- dence; immediately made kitown the importantdiscovery to Mr. Lysons and other Gentlemtn conversant in this branch of antiquity, who are at this time most diligently employed in collecting and examining these fine remains, The scite of a Villa 150 feet in length, has been most accurately ascertained ; seven different rooms have been clearly traced, and the pavfements are enriched with drawings, in the highest state of preservation, of Nep- tune, Orpheus, animals, birds, fishes, & c. & c. An Hyp pdcaust, or sweating room- with- its flues; and several pillars of considerable magnitude are to be seen. What- ever part of this interesting scene can be removed with safety has been presented by Mr. Brooke to the British Museum, and will, we are informed, be conveyed there in a few days. It is the intention also of Mr. Lysons to publish his drawings and a description of the whole. A letter, dated New- York, the 25tli of May, address edto a respectable house, says—" Bussiness of al! kinds it as dull as possible. Ex. - on Loudon 12 per cent, below par.

Spain and Portugal have been supplied with grain, and the Government Bills in payment are come here to be sold, which with the great influx of Commissariat Bills from Canada, has helped to depress Ex. to its present miserable stale.— A fire broke out here on Sunday morning last, the greatest that ever happened in this city 5 in about two hours upwards of 100 houses were reduced to ruins." Sperling..— Sunday morning a great concourse of people assembled in Whitechipel, near the Church, to witness the decision of a curious bet, A young gentle- man, apparently not more than 20 years of age, slender and slight, but well proportioned, had undertaken to go 50 miles 011 foot against a pair of horses in a gentleman's carriage. The condition of the wager was, that the horses should stop to bait once only 011 the road. The start took place at eight o'clock, and the pedestrian renched Whitechapel Church soon after four in the afternoon, on his return, having been to the 25th mile- stone and back within the interval, and completely dis- tanced the horses.— This race affords an instance of converting Sunday into a day of amusement, for the benefit of those who wish to keep St. Monday sacred ; nud we doubt not the industrious example will be followed, as much to the honour of our Police, as to ~ the benefit of our morals. A respectable tradesman of llatherleigh has been committed lo Like his trial at the next Devou Assizes charged with having concerted the death of his illegiti- mate child aged 8 months. It appears that the infant was poisoned hy a woman lo whom the latter had pro- mised a one pound note for her diabolical interference. The inhuman wretch forced the child to swallow a pill, the effects of which were so powerful that the infant died in less than two hours in great agonies. The wo- man is in custody, aud has confessed the particulars of the horrid transaction. rpK" K- 0 Court of Peculiars, Doctors' Commons.— SMITH against HEWSON, falsely called SMITH.— This was a proceeding at the instance of Mr. Henry Staple Smith, of Croydon, to annul a marriage be had contracted with Miss Hewson, of the same place, on the ground of minority and non- consent, the marriage hnving been solemnized by licence.— It appeared in evidence that Mr. Hewson, the father ' of the young lidy, was living, and Mr. Smith's addresses to his daughter were sanctioned by his approbation from a conviction, as he fre- quently declared, of his being an industiious young man, more likely to get forward in business than many possessing greater affluence, and that he should feel happy in seeing his daughter so well settled. Mr. Smith accordingly visited Ihe family in the character of an accepted lover, aud induced the young lady a short time afterwards to consent to a private mar- riage, pretending that his not yet being in business for himself rendered secrecy for a short time necessary: the father being seized with a paralytic stroke did not long survive, and the present suit was subsequently commenced.— On the part of Mr. Smith it was contended, that though Mr. Hewson did not object to his addresses, there was no reason to believe he would have consented to the marriage taking place when it did; indeed, the young man's not being in business, and many other reasons, afforded sufficient ground to presume a want of consent, wbere no direct proof of tbe reverse was ad- duced.— On behalf of the lady it was contended, that a con- sent must be presumed from tbe addresses being sanctioned, and that this inference was further supported by a variety of declarations appearing in evidence to have been made by the father,' upou a supposition of the probability of such au union, though there might not not be very conclusive pioof of his knowledge of its having actually taken place.— Sir J. Niciiou. observed, that the legal presumption of a case of this nature was always in favour of the fact uf marriage, and of the requisites of the law having been complied with, and this presnmption was not a little strengthened by the suit not being brought in the present case by the minor, who must be the injured party, if any injury there was, but by the party who had obtained the license for the marriage upon his own perjury; for it was not to be supposed but lhat he was aware of tbe lady's minority. His coming into Court, then, with a suit grounded upon his own corrupt act, and the legal presumption against him, rendered it necessary that the proof of non- consent to be furnished by him should be very strong anil conclusive, indeed, almost amounting to a dissent j he did not mean to say that a conditional or limited consent might not be given, or that that consent might not be retracted, but where the courtship is encouraged without anV limitation or restriction as to the lime or other circumstances of the marriage, a ceneral consent was to be presumed. In this case, the father being dead, could not prove his non- tonsent, but the brother and others of the family prove the courtship to have been with his sanction, and the witnesses who depose to the non- consent seem to mean that it was not directly given with a knowledge of the marriage being about to take place. Upon the whole of the evidence, therefore, he wus of opinion, that tbe presumption of a direct or implied consent of the father to the marriage was sufficiently apparent to justify the Court in giving by its sentence, legality to that transaction, and dismissing the suit; which was done ac- cordingly.

Your Committee called for a variety of information on these very important objects; but they find that the time which must necessarily be spent in preparing and laying that information before them, will make it impossible for them to satisfy those objects of their appointment very speedily, or perhaps within the period during which it is likely that ihe present Session of Parliament may last; and. under these circumstances, your Committee have thought it right to make a Report, without delay, upon so much of the uqniry as they have been able to complete; and to report Ihe evidence which they have taken. IM June, 1811. HOUSE OF LORDS, JULY 8. STATE OF HIS MAJESTY'S HEALTH. Earl GROSVENOR moved, that an humble Address be pre- sented to the Prince Regent, requesting that his Royal High- ness would be pleased to order that the Report of the Physi- cians delivered to the Queen's Council be laid before that House.— The Earl of LIVERPOOL acceded to the motion, ob- serving, that if he had not been anticipated by the noble Earl, he should have made a similar motion.

GUINEAS AtlD SANK PAPER. Mr. PERcErAt called the attention of the House to a bill which had been passed by the other House, to prevent the sale of the current Coin of the kingdom for a sum above that at which it was circulated ; and to prevent the taking of Bank notes for less than their nominal value. Theie was also a provision in the bill for the protection of tenants tender, ing Bank- nctes in payment for rent. He should have con- sidered this a measure desirable to be avoided at any time, but more particularly at the present, when the session was so far advanced, and so many gentlemen were absent. For the last 14 years the credit of the Bank- paper bad been upheld, without tbe adoption of any such proceeding, aud he now felt great repugnance to bringing it forward ; but he had been compelled to do so by the circumstance of a noble lord of great landed property, who, after having been contented for 14 years to. rec^ vj; Bank- notes of his tenants at par, about ten days previous to the last rent- paying day, gave notice, he would receive his rent in nothing but gold, or Bank- paper at a reduced value. When he ( Mr. P.) first heard of this circumstance, he thought it would not hare been necessary to notice it, as he. did not then conceive that; whatever might be tlie opinion of tbe noble lord as to such a pioceeding, he would be countenanced by any one else. Indeed, he was rather persuaded that that noble lord, finding himself unsup- ported publicly, and advised privately, he would himself have refrained from persevering in such a system. On the contrary, however, he found not only lhat the noble Lord was countenanced, but that he was followed and defended, and even panegyrized for his patriotism by those who monopo- lized all the statesman- like conduct and all the talent in the country, and expected every one else shnuld bow down at their footstool. Under these circumstances, however reluct- ant he was to adopt such a step, it was thought advisable to call for the interference of Parliament. He had no right, oi had any wish to say, that Lord King did not feel himself acting right ; but he ( Mr. P.) must be allowed to sav, he did not consider him as acting very cominendably. Indeed, he could not conceive any act of an individual more pregnant with peril to the country, or one where it was more necessary for Parliameut to interfere to counteract the evil. Il was a system, which had hitherto been adopted only by Jew pedlars and smugglers ; and he did not suppose that those who had supported the Bank Restriction act, and acted with Mr. Pitt on that occasion, would now have given their sanction to a con- duct which was likely to be productive of the very evil which they, at that period, so much dreaded, uamelv a double p'ice. Mr. Perceval then went at length into the evil of Lord King's system, if adopted ; and observed, lhat the legislature who had made it necessary for the public creditor to receive his interest in this paper, were bound in honour to support its credit. Suppose a person possessed of .£ 6,000 in the 3 per cents, for this he would leceive .£ 300 in Bank notes, as interest; immediately afterwards he should be obliged to pay his land lord 350 in paper; would not this be a monstious injustice? He trusted the odium which would attach to the conduct of Lord King would prevent others from following his example. He should regret extremely making the Bank- note a legal tender; but should snch a system as his be adopted, that must be the result. Some gentlemen had compared the issue of Bank- paper in this country to the issue of nssignats in France; but how was it like it ? the amount of Bank- paper in circulation, two years ago, was 25 millions; at present it was about 23 millions. In less than four years the assignats issued in France amounted to 1000 millions. So much for the resemblance of our Bank paper to the assignats of France. The right hon. geutleman concluded by moving that the bill be read a first time.— Mr. ABERCROMBIE entered into ajusti- lication of the motives of Lord King, a nobleman who, he observed, on every occasion, he was proud to call his friend. He would ask the right hon. gentleman, what was now become of his assertions, that the confidence of the public in Bank- paper was not shaken, and that Bank notes were not depreci ated. The present bill, according to the right hon. gentleman's system, would notanswer the purpose for which it was intend- ed, and ultimately, if that system was persisted in, the Bank notes most lie made a legal tender; and that once done, the Bank would say, '• We have got the pledge of Parliament to support us in whatever we do." Aud who, after suen a mea- sure could say to what limits the Bank would restrict its issues. Viewing the bill as a violation of private property, as a distinct declaration that the Bank- pa > er was not capable of sustaining its own weight, he thought the only course the House had to pursue was to give a direct negative to the measure.— Lord A HAMILTON opposed the bill.— Mr. Dutr thought the necessity of tbe case justified the measure, and that the bill was the best that could be adopted on ibe subject; he should therefore give the measure his support.— Mr. WHIT- BREAD thought the attack of the right hon. gentleman on Lord King, for an act in which he was authorised by law, was unjustifiable. His accusation against another noble lord ( Lord Grenville), that he wished all to bent) the knee to him, came with an i. l grace from the right hon. gentleman, who would willingly have bent the knee and become Minister under the noble lord alluded to, if he would have con- sented. The right hon. gentleman said, the prophecies of gentlemen on the present occasion would be equally falla- cious with these of 1797. These prophecies however were not fallacious— they were now fulfilled. Bank paper was, as had been foretold, deprec ated ; & the steps we had taken must lead to bankruptcy. Did the right hon. gent, suppose the present measure would support the Bank- paper ? Support the Bank I Why, the hoo. gentleman might as well screw up the baro- meter, and then say it wis fine weather. He understood the hon. gentleman intended 10 d* ' he second reading of tne bill for Monday next; lli.-. t wcnld be an extreineiy inconvenient day, many gentlemen would be nnder tbe necessity of attend- ing the quarter sessions; and he trusted the second reading would be postponed till Monday sc'nnight. Belpre he sat down, he would move that ths third Resolution of Ihe Bullion Comibittee should'be read'; and he should now " hear whether gentlemen would sayBank- paper was not depreciated. If it was now depreciated, it must then have been so, and that Resolu- tion was unsound. If it was not depreciated now, there was no necessity for the nreseut bill, which was both dangerous and Unnecessary. Under these circumstances he would give as decided a negative to the. first readinj; of the bill as he would to the opening of Pandora's box, if ( as unfortunately for the world it has been), It was not already opt'n — Mr. BAIUSG observed that gentlemen in opposing the' bill, had said it would be productive of evils'and inconveniences. He was ready to allow it would; but he was confident that. it shewed a spirit of high patriotism throughout t( ie country, for indi- viduals to enter iuto a mutual engagement to take Bank- paper; and he knew that a measure fur making it a le" al tender must be adopted at last. The only difficulty after that, would be as to the amount of paper in circulation. The amount of that should be limited. At the same time he must say, there iVas no disposition in the Court of Directors to make an over issue of paper. It would, hrtwever, be neces. sary for Parliament lo limit ihe issue. And another measure would be essential, namely, the diminution of Ihe public expenditure, 3o as that it might keep pace with the limited issue of paper. If the restriction was to be at all removed the first step towards it must be a gradual diminution of ouJ great expenditure. If tbe debt wus properly managed it would furnish the means of carrying on the exnenses of ' the country ; and he was confident that by such management OH I resources would be amply sufficient for all, demands.— Mr. TIOSNEY said, he never heard more monstrous doctrines than those contained in the speech of his hon. friend who just sat dow n. Many weeks ago, the greater part of the members went away with the impression that thit question was set at rest ; yet, when people supposed Parliament was just about lo rise, this measure was brought foi ward ; and who were the supporters of it? two of the most suspicious characters in the country, tbe Chareellor of tbe Exchequer and a Bank Director. ( Hear! hear>.) and he really believed there was now some secret understanding going on between the Bank and the Chancellor of the Exchequer. This was the agree- ment between the high contracting parties, " If you limit your expenditure; we will limit Ihe issue of our paper." He contended lhat; to compel people lo take Bank- notes as a legal tender would be destructive to the country, ' fhe value of a~ note depended On its convertibility into cash ; and before the bill passed, let an investigation take place, to see if the Bank had specie in their coffers sufficient to pay their notes. Every cay the gold of the country was sent away to France in spite of all cur vigilance. A friend of his, just returned from France, informed tiiih that, some days ago, la'K) guineas tveie sent over to France, concealed iu tiie quarter of an ox, which hung over the stem of the vessel. Only one individual had Insisted on gold instead of paper ; and was that a just ground for passing a bill of this kind ? He should certainly move for a call of the House; he wished also to move for a Committee of Secrecy to enquire into the effects produced by the Orders in Council; and also to enquire into the affairs and assets of the Bank of England Mr. MAS. NINO declared, that the Conrt of Directors had uo other wish than that their notes Should stand on the same footing as hitherto. By the last returns, the Bank- notes were 23 millions. He now had authority to state, that their notes, now in circulation, were no more than 22 millions. This sum was less, by three millions, than the amount in October last; so far then for the charges against the Bank, on the suppo- sition of their issuing too much paper Besides, if all the nntes were called in to- morrow, there were, belonging to the Hank assets, sufficient to discharge th'Sm all. These assets were not diminished since 1797. As to a legal tender, ha hoped that ttould be the last measure the Parliament would ever have recourse to; because the notes of the Bank were sufficient to support themselves. The act of a noble lord, in giving notice to his tenants, Was one of the greatest indiscre- tion, not only with respect to the public- but himself. It was putting the raji- ir to his own throat. After the act done by tbat noble lord, and the mannfir in which that act hail been approved of, it was impossible to avoid adopting this mea- sure. After all. that had passed he would give his reluctant assent lo the bill.— Mr. BASKS looked upon this as A most un- fortunate measure, not called for by any necessity, aud wholly inadequate to its object. The only remedy for the great existing evil would be, a limitation'of Bank- paper, and a gradual return to cash payments. He wished to k. iow distinctly what the law was upon this subject— whether persous could compel payments in gold. This ought to be clearly ascertained before the bill passed.— Sir F BUSDBTT rose for the purpose of refuting the charges against a noble lord, whose conduct, in hisopinion, » » wist, and prudent, aud although it ijight be unpalatable to the Ministers of the day, it was beneficial to the country at large, lie would ask, how were the tenants of Loid King oppressed ? Did they not take care to make up the deereciation of paper, by asking a higher price ' or their corn, & c. in the markets ? If this was done, every . gentleman would soon fi id his pockets full of paper, without the means of su- tenance ft would be al- together described by tbe line which the Italian Poet tells us is written over the » ates of Hell— If you enter, ynu must leave all hopes behind." It was useless to talk of renewing the bill; uo one with a Bank- iiote in his pocket eoultt feet confident ; suspicion once awakened, could not be dismissed, for, as Thomas Paine said, public credit awake is su- picinn asleep.— Mr. CRCEVEY said, that, finding there were no less than 40 of the Bank Corporation members of that House, ne would, on a future occasion, offer a Resolution expressive of their being not fit persons to legislate on this subject.— A division then look place ou the motion for the fust reading.— For the motion 64— against It 19— in favour of Ihe bill 45.— The bill was then read a first time. Mr. TIERSEY then proposed, that the bill should be read a second time on Monday se'nnight; and that the House should be .' ailed over on that dav.— The House divided— For the call 20— against it 62— majority 42. — Mr. TIBRNEY then moved ( hat a secret Committee should be appointed to en- quire into the effect of the Orders in Council of ( he 27( h of February, 1797, restraining the Bank from making cash ! payments. Upon this motion, another division took pUce. For the motion, 17— against it 62— majority, 45. The bill was then ordered to be lead a second time on Monday next. LORD STANHOPE'S BILL.
