He wilted to know from the Noble Lord oppolite, (Caftlereagh) wheher there reports were well founded ? If they were not, it was proper that the fears of perfons thould be removed. Lord CASTLEREAGH replied, that there had been ditturb SAM in the foutbern parts of t h e Pentnfula,but that there had been none at the feat of the Madras Government.

Mr. SHERIDAN moved the fccond reading of the Journeymen Calico Printers' Bill. Sir ROBERT PEE LE faid, that although, on account of his ill health, he, had been given leave to abfent himfelf from his duty in Parliament, yet he Mould feel great Pelf reproach, if he Ihould allow a Bill fo mifchievous, as he conceived this to be, to pall, without giving it his decided oppofition. hie was Wulf - elf a friend to the journeymen calico prin• tors, and he conceived that he and the other matter printers had done them more fervice than they would ever receive from the fpeeches of the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Sheridan). The journeymen, in their firft demand of limiting the number of appren tices, teemed to aft upon the principle, that they were able by combination to give the law to the mat ters. This Icheme, however, failed, and only occa toned the matters to bring many new hands into the trade. There were many matters who fetiouily thought of removing themfelves and their capitals to Come other country, where their properties would be better proteEted, and their trade be more free from rellriaion, for a man of property could never bear the idea of receiving the law, in every innance,from his journeymen. If it could be proved that this Bill would be foethe advantage of the journeymen, he should not oppofe it, as he confidered that the ince refts of the greater number (horrid be attended to in preference to the interefts of the few ; but he was convinced that a Bill like the prefent would be inju rious to the whole trade, and confequently to the lourneymen. He concluded by moving , that this - Bill be read a fecund time on this day three mouths. - - Mr. D. GIDDY fupported this motion. He con fsdered that, in the prefent Rate of toddy, it was not fo much the tyranny of kings' and great men that was to be apprehended, as the tyranny of the many over the few. He confidered that nothing was more dangerous than combinations among journey men. If the agricultural labourers were to combine in a fimilar manner, and demand for their labour more than their fair proportion of the land, the coun try mull rapidly fall to ruin. Mr. JACOB began by obferving, that in 1791, this coeutry only exported to the value of one mil lion annually in cotton goods ; but now, in fixteen .years after that period, the quantity exported ant-mots to 9,750,c001. being more than one third of the whole amount of our exports. This great in creak was owing to the (kill and talents of calico printers. In the infancy of this trade fume degree' of phildophy was neceffary, and a confiderable knowledge of chemillry ; but sow, by the divi fi on of labour, bulinefs of a calico printer did not re• quire more &ill than any other handicraft tirade, and therefore the prefent race of italic° printers were not entitled to better wages than moll other mechanics. It was alloy ed that a boy of fourteen could, in a few months, learn the whole b.ufinefs, and yet the ave nge wages were twenty five drillings a week, al though the workmen lived for the molt part in the tlorthern counties, where thofe wages would go much farther than they would in a Southern county. He did not fee that the journeymen calico printers had any let anus fubjeEt of complaint, and therefore he fhbuld orpofe the prefent Bill. Mr. P. MOORE declared, that the anxious with of the Committee was, that the madders and journey men Mould regulate the matter among themfelves, without bringing it before Pat liAment. The complaint of the journeymen was this ; that a large number of loyal, dutiful, and faithfulfubjeas were now with out employment and without bread, in confequence of the grievances of which they complained. lie conceived it the firlt duty of Government to fee that the fabjeas of the realm had bread. He felt a good steal tor the rights of journeymen : his condiments vitt:: either journeymen, or had been journeymen,' and he had therefore confidered, that kind of right which is derived from having fetved an apprentice 6ip. He ccniHeted that from the fy Rem of appren tieethips was &lived, not only the fuperior !kill of our workmen in every department, but a great part of the prsBical morality of the 11, hi& nation. He admitted, that on account of the divilion of labour, a boy could be taught to do the Wind's in a very film time, as well as a journeyman. The conic gnome was, that, as loon as the boy was out of his appranticelltip, he alfo found hintfelf out of bread. It was, therefore, in this branch of trade, more than in any other, that Come regulations were wanting to in lure a fubfiffence to the journeymen. The Hon. H. ERSKII•IE confidered, that whatever :night be the grievances of the journeymen, the pre fent Bill would not afford the remedy. It was againft the gat principles or civil liberty, as *ell as igaiati all the commercial maxims which had hitherto been received. The firft claufe of it was to prevent mar tens from taking more than a certain number of ap prentices. This was a regulation which had never before been demanded from Parliament. Every man had an undoubted right to teach his trade to as many people as he chafe. He thought the cry againft the numbers coming into the trade was as ri diculous as if he or others, old gourrieymen in the pro fellion of the law (a laugh), thould come to Parlia ment to complain of the number of young men of talents that were educating for that profetllon, and beg that the Houfe would (hut the door againft them for tear they would interfere with the old pradli tioners. As to the wages given, he thought that that, as well as the price of the article, would of themfelves find their level. He therefore was deci dedly in oppohtion to the Bill, and fhould vote for the motion of the Hon. Baronet (Sir R. Peele). Mr. SHERIDAN defended the Bill. He faid it would have been well if his Right Hon. and Learned Friend (Mr. Erfkine) had condefcended to read the Report of the Committee upon which this Bill was founded, before he exercifed fo much of his ingenuity in condemning it. If he had read that Report, he would have found that, fo far from being a meafure for the encouragement df combinations amongft the Journeymen Calico-printers, it was one for the relief and protection of the induflrious and opprefred. His Right Hon. and Learned Friend had declared, that, whatever was the nature of the diforder complained of, he would not give this Bill as a cure, becaufe he confidered it abfolute poifon. But he flqr. Sheridan) believed it was the prarlice of all regularbred phyri. cians to confult - a little the nature of the diforder, before they rejaeted one remedy to prefcribe another; and, in this cafe, he certainly felt that he had the advantage of his Right Hon. and Learned Friend. What was the cafe of the complainants in this in fiance ? For a feries of rucceffive years, they had been mendicant fuppliants at the Bar of that Houle, of fering petition after petition, praying relief, but in vain. The moment, however, they found their pe tition entertained, and felt any ground of hope that their grievances would be fairly confidered, all com bination ceafed, and their reliance for redrefs was en tirely founded upon the jullice and liberality of Par liament. What was their complaint ? Why, that after having fcrved feven years to a bufinefs confer redly injurious to their health, and which rendered them unfit for any other occupation, they were to be turned loofe upon the world, fupplanted in their employments by whole legions of apprentices, at twelve or fourteen years of age, for wages of four (billings, fix (billings, or eight (billings per week, inftead of 11. 55. the ufual average of the journeymen, by whole previous (kill and ingenuity the operations of the manor:rehire were Co amplified, that children could do the work as well as journeymen. And what was the alternative propofed to thole unfortunate men? To be ratified with the average wages of nine (billings per week, ufually paid to common daily labourers throughout their diftrias, or left to become fuldiers or failors, occupations for which their Hate of body, after devoting feven years to an unwholefome Winds, rendered them totally unfit ! Would the Houle confent to a propofition fo monltrons, as that thole young men, after having devoted feven years to learn a trade, to the ruin of their health, by which their indultry had fo eminently contributed to the wealth of their mailers and their country, were to be deprived of all employment, and to he turned look upon fociety, as burthenc to the charity, or freeboo ters upon the property of their neighbourhood ? He never was a profelyte to the dothines of Adam Smith upon the flibjeet. It was the wifett policy of a nation to provide employment for the matured vigour of its population ; and thofe mannfaethrers who derived immenfe fortunes by the early incluftry of thole journeymen, would ill deferve the encouragement of the Legiflature and of the State, if-they were ready to facrifice the comforts of their men to their own avarice, and confign them to beggary the moment they became entitled to receive the wages of journey nun. He inftanced one particular houfe, which entertained above fifty apprentices, and only two journeymen ; and he begged to elk how many thou fands of artizans mull be devoted to famine, if this fyflem was to become general. His Right Hon. and Learned Friend had compared the Hate of the Bar to that of the calico printers, and (aid, what might be very true, that many of the members of that learned profeflion were much ditireired. It might be fo, and was to be lamented. But if it were potable, by the operations that machinery, philolophy, or chemiftry, which had been fo learnedly fpoken of that night, fo to amplify the bonnet's of the Bar, as to render it practicable to little buys or girls, at twelve or fourteen, he believed there would be more clamour from the Gentlemen of the Long Robe in Weliminfter Hall, than from all the combining manufacturers of Lancafkire put together. Mr. Sheridan mentioned Come other inftances of oppreffion from the mailers to their apprentices, and their illegal modes of reclining their fervices, fometimes for nine or ten years, by a bond from the parent, in fl ead of a (tamped indenture. He concluded by fupporting the Bill, and declaring at the fame time that he difciaimed all countenance to combination ; that he fhould belie the uniform tenour of his whole political life, if, while he had a feat in that Houle, the caufe of the weak fhould want an advocate againfl the ftrong, who revelled in wealth and luxury upon the fruits of their hard in duftry. Mr. HORNER raid, that he had been at Tome pains to confider this fubjeet. He had read the minutes of evidence, an 1 the Report of the Committee, which affeeled to be founded upon that evidence, by which, in fait, it was by no means fullained. The Hon. Member commented upon the A,Et of Elizabeth, and adverted to the Report of the Woollen Committee with refpeet to that AEI, in order to (hew that its provifions were inapplicable to the prefent (late of trade, but he maintained that the Calico Printing Trade, which was not in exiltence at the time of the pal ling . that Mt was not at all comprehended in the reftrietions which it prefctibed. After a few words from Mr. D. GIDDY and Mr. DENT, the Gallery was cleared for the divifion— but we underftand that no divilion took place upon the motion.--The Bill was therefore thrown out. Purfuant to order Counfel attended, Mr. ALF XAN use and Mr. HAILRISON for the Petition of the Mal tern ; Mr. CAMPIALL for the Journeymen, and againft the Petitlon.—Adjourned. LONDON. PRIDAY, APRIL u. PRICE-OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK: Costa., for money, 641—for May 64 63--Omnium i Pr- Excheq Bills, par to li. pre The Bank contented yefterday to make all the remaining ply merits on the Loan except the left, which, however, is not to take place till the lath of January next, a later period than any hitherto granted for the redemption, and when betides the dividends will have been payable. All the erivate letters by yeflerday's mail from Hamburgh and the Lower Elbe agree in Rating that the French had marched a confiderable portion of their troops from that neighbourhood, and feemed to be Rill purfuing fuch meafttres as to encourage the inhabitants to hope they would loon be entirely removed. Some letters of the 18th go fo far as to Rate, that on the 27th Martini Banat notified to the Magiftrates of Hamburgh, that they might take poireffion of the gates with their troops: and, on the 18t1,- the Martha), at the head of the French troops, evacuated the place.—lf the French have not yet quitted Hamburgh, it is certainly poffi• ble they loon may. Since the raifing of the fiege of Sttalfund the French parties in the rear of the army are rather in a critical fituation. The Swedes now have advanced from Stralfund, and fconr the country for a confiderable dittance. They are Paid to have advanced to Prentalau, not far from Stettin. The events on the Vißula will decide the importance of thefe operations, fhould the report mentioned in private letters letterday be true, of the French having been again beaten in a general battle ; or ihould they be defeated in the engagement which is every day ups... Red to take place, a comparatively (mall number of troops would be able to give them infinite moleflation, and at prefent might greatly moleft and obllrua their communications. The reports of negociations, which . have been fo indufkrioutly circulated on the Continent, appear en tirely overthrown by an official Ratement from Konigfborg, in the Peterfiurgh Gazette, by which it appears that his Pruffian blajefly has fignified his de. termination not to liften to any overtures from France, in which his Allies are not included. MECHAIN'S Report of the proceedings in the D tr. danelles contains fuss, of which he could have no knowledge—the number of Bra% killed and wound ed. From this we may judge of the accuracy of other particulars! A Pat is paper of the r4th inftant, contains an ar ticle from Vienna, Rating the arrival there of Prince BOGR AT H tos, charged with a million from his Majefty the Emperor of all the Rualas, and that he was im mediately prefented to his Majefty the Emperor of Aullria. He is alto Rated to have had feveral cAn ferences with Count STADION, the Minifter for Fo reign Affairs. His million, it is added, relates to the mediation offered by the Court of Vienna, for the re eftablifhment of Peace, between France, Ruffia and Pruflia. The AUCKLAND packet with mailsGfrom Milan, is arrived at Falmouth : fhe has alfo brought the mails of the DIAN• packet from New York and Halifax. which put into Oporto in diarcfs. The letters will be delivered to•nrorrow, EAST INDIES. A report was circulated yefterday, that intelli gence of further infurralions had been received from the Eall-Indies by an overland difpatch. An overland difpatch was received, which Rates a confpiracy had been difcovered and of courfe de- feated, which had for its objedl, the deßruaion of the 9th and t tth Regiments at Nurn Droog. At the date of the difpatches, every thing remained tranquil. It will be feen, from the anfwer to a quef tion put to Lord CASTLEREAGH fall night in the Houfe of Commons, that Government have received Tome intimations of this kind, though we hope of a trifling nature, in Come of the dißant provinces of Mad rag. WEST INDIES. Accounts from the land of St.llomingo, date, that after much bloodihed, the two rival Generals, Ptc HON and CH amyOP H E t have entered into a treaty to divide the Itland equally between them, and to unite in a bond of friendfhip for the future. Their partifans and followers have returned to theft fcveral occupa pations, and trade is expefted to be Coon as briik as ever. _ _ The following letter is copied from the Trinidad Newfpaper. What degree of credit it may deferve we cannot take upon us to afcertain : " TRINIDAD, FEBRUARY 27. " The creditors of General Miranda having followed him to this ifland, the General threw himfelf upon the protedtion of the Government, and produced feveral letter, and authorities which induced our Government to interpofe in his favour. The General remained in tranquillity, and was almoft forgotten. Upon a fud• den the feveral agents of the General's creditors wore invited to accept a compromife for their feveral debts ; the terms were ac. cepteti, and the debts paid. We had (camely time to ewers our aftouilhment, before a (loop arrived from Cumana, on board of which Miranda has embarked. It is raid by fome, that be has gone hither upon the invitation of the Spaniards, his party having pof• felled themfelves of the country, and declared their independence. It is afferted by others, that the invitation has come from the Eng• fquadron, fuppofed to he that of General Craufonl, which has ended a landing on the Spanith Main. We have been unable to develope the myftcry which for fome time has been thrown over this affair. All that we can ftate is, that General Miranda has been under the conftant protedion of our Government ; that be has failed for the Spanilh Main ; and that his expedition, what ever it is, is well underftood by our Governors." limuritAL IkttLLMENtt.

About two o'clock the Earl of FINGAL was called to the Chair. His Lortilblp having briefly Rated the purpofe for which the Meeting was convened, it was moved and carried, that two letters, recently received from an illuttrious character, touching their petition to Parliament, thout.i be read. The firft letter, figued Henry Grattan, was an expreflion of his thanks for the honour done him by the Catholic Body, by fending him to relent their petition ,and a Rrong recommenda tion to them for the prefect to forego their intended application. Mr. G ATTAN Rated it to be his owu individdal opinion, that tho time was highly unfavourable to their views, when a great change was about to take place in his Majesty's Councils; bdt, be added, that he would call a meeting of their friends, wd communicate to them their united opinion on the fubieet. The frond letter con veyed to them the refult of that meeting, which concurred entirely with his own opinion. Mr. K Loofa then rote, and delivered a fpeech, agreeing with the sentiments of Mr. GRATT AN, and the language lately held in Par t lament by the authors of the Catholic Bill, concluding as follows —" The Refolution which I (hall propofe to your Lordfbip is pet• fedtly confiftent with the Refolutions we have heretofore entered. into, and I firmly hope it will be deal to the country and to our* (elves. It win prey nt the enemy from availing bfinfelf of the de fpair of Catholic Ireland, and it will afford our Proteftant fellow fubjcdts an opportunity of making the Empire irrefiftibla, by ac cepting the fervices and friendibip of four millions of ; of rew arding our Cervices, fbould we hereafter prove fai l 2 g ul and m eritorious, and of Mewing their confidence and gratitude, it is this : " Ratoned, that the Catholic Petition be committed to the care of the Right Hon. the Earl of FINGAL, fubjed to the future difpotal of the Catholic Body." i Mr. VALENTINE O'Cosnoft fixooded tins Refolution,and le- veal other (peahen followed. The meeting had not broken up when the mail came away ; but it was fuppofett the Rifolutiou of Mr. KCOOII would be carried. Laft night, in the midi of a grand fete given by Mrs. W.
