In fourteen an more, 3278 individuals flocked to sign •fetitidn. The petitionets not only represent that plestieue the tax would be to violate the faith of ve hement, solemnly pledged to the people; they ' — stat e, that having for so many years home this . e ivrabk burden, not merely with patience but with f u lness, in consideration of the necessities of the . s oy, they were gritified beyond expression to see e ar terminated, by that glotions victory which • , every heart well just pride and exultation ; but weighty should find that the only result of that .d eve n t , arid of the happy though long-delayed io n by which it was toliowed, should be a conti of the burden which they had scarcely been st i e to bear during ti;e war, they should begin to all in question—a doubt which will be echoed and pa lmed throughout the nation—the utility, to them itaSit of that glorious achievement by which they i s t elpeeted to be reli,.ved front the oppressive s i g ht under which they had so I-mg lab cored.

It teas very unseemly, that at the mement when the people were assembling to express their opiniAns, his 'flinty's Ministers should take nteasr tres to prevent heir 'Nice from being available to any purpose.— lii on Monday next the Noble Lord opposite fold begin to address the House on the sr.bject, he ilißaung) should object in /intim to go into it. The Petioun was then ordered to lie on the table. UCH Ecit: ER PROCESSES. lfr. H.

SMITH suggested to the Hon. Gentle that another Hon. Member had made a mo• ion of a nature precisely similar. Mr. MARTIN denied that in the motion alluded le by the Honi.uriible Gentleman the amount of the van for which the Processes had been issued was men 'awl. After . a short conversttion, in which Mr. Ann ual/14 the CHANCELLOR or the EXCHEQUER, Mr. THOMPSON, Mr. MARTIN, Mr. HUSKISSON, Cnd Mr. }team participated; the motion was agreed to, with ia amendment, the latter part of which was sugges stl by the SPEAKER, by which it was ordered, that the Morn should thew 66 the number of cases of pro tut, arid their respective amount." MISCELLANEOUS. IIr.CROKER brought in a Bill, amended, in tiler to explain rn Act in the 1117th of the pnraent 4 „ Ps respecting p ersons un d er sentence f rom N av y worts Martial. SirJAMES MACKINTOSH moved for an ac tion of the several sums paid, or due as payable to Cu country, in 'eh-cue of the Treaty of Paris, the lode of their appropriation, and the authority under Ceti tl'ey were received.

Mr. BENNEr moved for a Retnin of the Et pensea incurred, and likely to be incurred, for the erection or repair of Buildings connected with the Ordnance, distinguishing their several descriptions. as for t•'rtifications, garrisons, &c. He likewise moved for a Return of Royal Enrineers and Ar. tificers employed from December, 18 t 4, to the same month in the following year. Also for a Return of the •umber of Deserters from the Regular Army, and the number of Foreign and Colonial Troopr in British Pay, and for a Return of the Volunteers dur ing the same period. Lord COCHRAN gave notice, that he would call the attention of the House, on Wednesday next. to the conduct of Lord Ellenhorough on the trial of Random Berenger and others, for conspiracy.

The French territory has been by this time scoured of all the Regicides ; and from the German Papers we learn, that they have been refused an asylum in Switzerland, and in Pied mont. We presume that the King of the Nether lands will follow the same example. An article from Madrid, in the above Papers e gives a most frightful picture of Spain : the article in ques tion is cautiously worded it is true, but more is !meant by it tlnto meets the eye or ear. PARIS, FEBRUARY 19. Among the papers of the wretched ex-conventio nalist, Courtois, were found some hitters of Marie Antoinette, Queen of France, some of the hair of that Princess, and among other letters one addressed to Madame Elizabeth, which breathes the most tender sentiments, and in which htr pi at soul speaks out most turcibly. The King has granted the favour to his people of ordering these J.:co:fleas to be pub lished. By_ [loyal Ordonnances of the 19:h January and 14th February, the King has ordered the completion of the Church of La Madelaine, in order to place there the expiatory monuments which are to be erected to Louis XVI. to Marie Antoinette, to Louis XVII. and to Madame glizabetL. The monument to the Duke of tngltien will be placed in the Castle of Vincennes. All these monuments are to be of white Carrara marble. The Statue of Lows XI 11. will be restored rin the Place Royale, that of Louts XIV. on the Place des Victoires, that of Lows XV. on Vie Place which bears his name. These statues will be of marble, and all equestrian. Measures had been previously taken for the resto ration of the Statue of Henry IV. on the Pont Neuf. Twelve colossal Statues and sour trophies will form the decoration of the bridge of Louis XVI. These Statues will represent B iyard and Dugues din, Turenne and Conde, Abbe Sieger and Cardinal Richelieu, Sully and Colbert, Tourville and Duguay Trouin, Duquesne and Suffrein. M. Emery, the physician to Bonaparte, at the island of Elba, who was arrested at Lins, in the Arrondissement of Tour du Pin, has been conduCted to Besancon. Foarteen brigands have been arrested in the Sarthe : they called themselves the Voltigeurs of Bonaparte. By advises from Rome, we ti;id that Ferdinand VII. of Spain has sent succours in money to several Spanish refugees, and has invited them to return to Spain, prmmising them employment near his Person ; in consequence of which many have taken their leave of their former Sovereign, and have accepted the in vitation.—Lords Exmouth and Bentinck have left Rome for Ancona. Great preparations are making at Florence for the reception of the Emperor and Empress of Austria, who are expected to remain about a month in that City. Austria has caused the Tuscan flag to be respected *by the Barbary Powers. We hear from St. Remo in Piedmont, that the wolves have committed great ravages in their envi. cons, and their numbers augment daily. No one cut stir out unarmed; several females' have been devoured by them close to their own houses. On the 13th ultimo a young Lady, aged 15, of great beauty and accomplishments, fell a priy to them. baron Coward, Commandant of the Gth Military Division, has been created a Count. The Piece about to be performed before his Ma jesty and the Royal Family on Wednesday, at the Fete given at the Odeon to the Ofßeers of the Royal Guard, is founded upon the arrival of the King at Aronville; a principal actor is to be sent from each of the Parisian Theatres. The Commune of Anccrville, Department of La Meuse, has been nearly destroyed by fire; the inha bitants are reduced to the greatest misery. We are autharistd to state, that there are no grounds whatever for the suppossion that a Corps of Cadets is to be formed in the R)7al Cuards—ar the Journ.4ls now contradict it. The foriißcatimis 'at Wilms irtre and round Paris are to be immediately demolished', It is observed that the il•recht.try Prince of Biwa ria is received with marked di►tinction by the Court of Austria, • The Dukes d'Angouleme and Berri hunted at St. Germains on Saturday. The Doke a'Aumont has comm-nee l his services as first Gentleman of the Chamber to the King. The King has given 6.000 francs to t:le Prefect of Marseilles to be distributed among the poor workmen of that port and the marines who are in indigence. The Duke de Luxembourg leaves Paris at the end of this month on his diplomatic mission to the Brazils. The English troops terminated their embarkation at Calais on the •10th instant. On the same day Sir Denis Pack and several Officers of distinction arrived at Dover. His Majesty has again given 12,000 francs to be distributed amongst the poor of the Metropolis. It is said by 'a Morning Paper, that according to a new order, no one is to cross the Court of the 'fhuil leties after five o'clock in tie evening, excepting those who are attached to the household. It is decided that the Council of War will assemble to try Admiral Lino 4 and General Boyer on the 29th instant. A turn of 12,000 francs has been placed at the dis. position of the Prefect of the Seine, for the liberation of these confined for small debts. FOUR= EXTRAORDINA ItY. OH MONDAY MORNING. The concourse of persons who flocked to the Thuilleries yesterday was great. Among those pie sent we observed the Prince Royal of Wirtemherg, his Royal Highness the Prince of Con*, the G vernor of Milan, the Grand Dignitaries, Prince Tel leyrand, the Honorary Chancellor, M. de Boumen, the Chancellor, all the Mioisters, Marshals tvfaedo nald, Monier, and Victor, a very great norntl.r Members of the two Chambers, Generals and Odi cersff every arm. _ Marshal Souk, who was at Mnns for some clays, arrived at Brussels on the 11th of February, wlit:c he stopped only to change horses: Ile continu:d his route for Hamburgh. MADRID, FEBRUARY 4. All the preparations which v.-c observe in the Ca pita leave no duubt as to the spacay arrival of a Princess, who is to reign over us. The Duke del Patque is preparing to set nut fcr Paris. It is thought that .is I:xcellency will so::o proceed to his destination. A report is circulated here that the EtNinister Ballejo, condemned to ten years imprisonment for abusing the King's confidence and makinse nious reports, has dentinied to be tried by a tribunal, at which he shall be permitted to defend himself ; and that the King, faithful to the isrincipl,3 which he has just proclaimeJ, has not rejected the demand. This cause will doubtless excite a lively interest, oi at least a great curiosity, considering the quality to the accused, and that of the personages who must infallibly be interested in it. _ The letters which we receive from the interior of the Peninsula speak much of different bands of rob bers who infest Andalusia, Navarre, and Galicia. The disaffected give them the tide of Partidar, (Par. titans) an appellation which has become honourable in consequence of the services which the latter have rendered during the occupatirm of our territory by the French armies. But the Government, tho roughly acquainted with the causes which gave rise to this vagabond system, and of the absence of alt kind of principle and union among the obscure chiefs of these unfortunate men, continues to despise them, and disdains to employ a natary torte against them, which could only have the effect of conferring im. portance upon them. The local authorities wail be sufficient to repress those transient and alm )st inevi- 1 table disorders in the state in which our political dis orders have left Spain. It is confidently stated that a n w military expe dition be sent to South America. General Count O'lllsnai. will command it. Some regiments have been collected in Andalusia for embarkation. BRUSSELS, FEBRUARY 14. M. Merlin, of Donny, stt out on the 11th instant. for the United States. .Among the arrivals here from France are Messrs Severnin, Deputy from the Lower Alps to the Con vention, and since Member of the Council of Five• Hundred; Alquier, King's Advocate under Lori► XVI. Deputy to the Convention, Ambassador from Bonaparte to Madrid, Naples, Stockholm, and Co penhagen ; Leyris, Deputy to the Convention, after wards Member of the Council of Five Hundred ; Ninth Engineer of the Marine at Rochefort, Deputy from the Lower Charente to the Convention, Cum missary at London for the exchange of prisoners ; Nioche, Advocate of Loches, Deputy from the Indre and Loire to the Cnnventioa ; Ramel, Deputy to the Convention and Minister of Finance under the Directory ; Maragon, Deputy from the Aude to the Convention, and Receiver-General of the Depart ment of the High Garonne; Lameterie and Fouennt Longchamp. All these abandoned wretches voted for the death of their benignant and merciful sove• reign, Louis XVI. • General Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD arrived in London, from Brighton, on Wednesday night abou: ten o'clock, and immediately after proceeded to Lord CASTLEREAGH'S house, with a communkc.ttion trop the PIINCIt REGENT to the Prince of SAXE Ci.noutto Yesterday Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD left town tot Brighton about two o'clock.—Yesterday the Princt received visits at the Clarendon Hotel, from Baron TRIP, and a number of distinguished characters ; his Royal Highness having previously sent off a com munication to the Duchess of Yoxic, at Oatlands.— He afterwards went to visit the Archdukes JOHN auo Lewis, in Stratford-place. • In the evening the Print.. dined with Lord Cris - mate/sou, where there was a select party to meet him.

The Piedmontese Government is very act v ly em ployed in the tuganization of twat part of Savoy which is recovered by the Treaty of die 20th Maseru bar, 1815. HARLEM, FEBRUARY I. They write from Lii;e, that the Pr..fect of the Dc. partment of the North has received, from. supetior 'authority, strict orders to prevent two Belgic Papers, one printed at Brussels, and one at Liege, from ht ing introduced into France, because they contain ac• counts both ialse and exaggerated of the internal stare of that Kingdom. The same attention is to be pact to foreign pamphlets. DREADFUL MURDER. STAR-OFFICE, FOUR O'CLOCM. We stop the Press to state that the Or y was thrown into a state of consternation this afternoon, by an assassination which took place in the public streets. About three o'clock, a person dressed like a Gen tleman, called At a house in Ball-alley, George•yircl, Lombard-street, and demanded to see a female, who he stared, was his wife.
