It is well known that as a Mem ber of the Legislature his Lordship is in favour of these claims. Mr. LAMBTON presented to the Commons a Peti tion frOm . General GOURGAVD, who, our Readers will retollect, was some time ago sent out of the kingdom under the Alien Act, complaining of the harsh treat ment which, he says, he received on that occasion. The Petition was ordered to be printed. . Sir MANASSI/1 MASSA LOPEZ, the Member returned for Baro..taple, having been declared guilty of bribery and corruption, the House ordered him to be prose cuted for the offence by the ATTOUNEYOENERAL and leave was given to Lord Ctivz to bring in a Bill for the purpose of making some alterations in the constitution of that Borough to prevent a recur rence of such practices. The Paris Papers of Wednesday arrived Jiis morn- ing...--The reception of the PERSIAN .AMBASIADOR took place on Tuesday, at mid-day, in the Gallery of, Diana. The KING was. s seated on a throne, with the Princes of the Royal Family and of the Blood on each side; the Ministers and Grand Officers of the House.; hold surrounded the foot of the throne; the Diplo isatic Corps occupied benches to the right; and the Ladies of the Court, to the number of more than two hundred, all richly dressed, and shining with precious stones, were ranged along the two sides of the Gal lery. The AsraAssAnon, being introduced by the Masters of the Ceremonies, his Excellency addressed the KING in Persian, felicitating him, in the name of his Master, and giving renewed assurances of his af fection and sincere wishes for the dyna. ty of Bourbon. The KING replied in a few words, expressive of his satisfaction at this testimony of friendship from the Emperor of PERSIA. The Ambassador then deli. vexed the letter of his Master, which the KING handed to the Marquis DEssoLte, Minister of Foreign Af 'fairs ; and concluded with presenting to his MA JESTY some rich presents, among which were a cymi tar that belonged to lssrALL, one of the bravest Sove reigns of Persia, a number of Cachemire shawls, and a precious stone to which the Persians ascribe certain extraordinary -medicinal virtues. His Excellency then bowed and retired. In the evening he. dined, as formerly announced, with the Master of the House hold, and a numerous company of persons of the first distinction. The Chamber of Peers had a Public Sitting on Tuesday. Marshal the Duke de CORECLIANO, one of the new Peers, took the oaths and his seal-. Count de Morrataver, another of the new creation, pre sented his titles, which were examined by a Coron.is lion and approved of.' The Mrsisrta of FMINCE then presented to the Chamber the Project of Law adopted by the Cham ber of Deputies for opening Auxiliary Books in all the Departments to the Grand Book of the Public Debt. • The Chamber ordered it to be printed, and eiamined in the Bureaus. A Member, the llarquis de MARI:cm, made a proposition for an address to his MAJL;TY, supplicating him to introduce a law for the substitution of some other sort of pankhrnent in place of transportation, the application of which is become inapplicable, from the want of a place to which to transport the condemned. The Chamber resolved that the proposition should be taken into consideration. • The assassin of KOTZEBUE, it is now expected will recover from his wounds. Ile has already regained the use of his speech, and has declared in a 'warmer the mast composed, that he did rot repent of what be had done ; that he meditated the thing for more tS in six months: and that he was convinced he had done well in delivering Germany from a man who had done so much injury to the-Students of Germany both by his writings and by 'misrepresenting them to the eyes of the Emperor of Russin.. He affirms that he had no accomplices. The nnfortunate koTzEnuc ItAsJeft fourteen children, , the youngest of whom is only two months old.

LORD BYRON'S Tale, entitled The Vampyre which appeared in the New Monthly Magazine , was ;his day published separately in octavo. Accounts from Curacoa, of the 6th February, men tion that Commodore Jolt had left Margarita on a cruise with a small squadron of eight Independent vessels, as it was supposed, to protect the arrival of transports expected from Europe. Foreign volun teers to the number of 'l,OOO men, in aid of General 13oLiVNR'S Army, are stated to have reached Guiria, in the Gulf of Paria, and a second division of 1 500 N aeog, was 4aily looked for. Admiral BRION was at I'an i patar (Margarita), and the new fortifications of the island were carfying on with great activity. Two additional forts had been constructed and all the! important points put iu a complete state of defence. I Cannel GiLmoaz was there disciplining a Native Corti* 'of Artillery ; a brigade of field-pieces, with every requisite, bad arrived. A notification from Messrs. J. WHITNEY and JOHN JOIINSON to General Automat!, announced the arrival of the Perseve-, ranee with 20Q men. Several respectable emigrants from the Main, had left Curasoa to return to Angos tura and Margarita. . C9X-11,ERGE. 8 : ANGE.

Exche quer Bills are improving,in consequence of their being a safe medium for the investment of the capi tal which is temporarily withdrawn from trade. ROYAL IRCHANGE. An improvement having taken place in some of the Foreign Exchanges, occasioned a rather brisker demand for Bills yesterday : there was money for Bills upon Hambnrgh, at 34. 2. and 34 1 ; prime Bills were offered, at the commencement of business, at 33. 11. however the drawers submitted to sell at 34. and from that to one grote higher, may be consi dered as the correct price. Amsterdam was in more request than last post, at from 11. 6. to 11.61 —for Paris there was money and Bills at 24. 12 6 6324.15. —Spain was offered at 39/.—.We are not aware of any particular news in the mercantile world under this head : trade continues languid, and our mer chants are generally shy of each other, and of en gaging in any fresh transactions. ➢ZINCING-LANE. Coffee has continued very dull throughout the whale week : some partial business has been done by private contract, at lower prices for money ; the pre sent quotations therefore, as they appear in our price currents, must be considered as nearly norniral. The British Plantation Sugar Market is nearly in the same state as last week, still continuing very irr-ctire. Foreign Sugars of all descriptions are very flat : at a public sale on Thursday, about 400 chests Havannah went off heavily at a reduction of 2s. per cv t. Refined Sugars have been more inquired for, ' and several parcels sold, particularly Lumps, at higher prices. Pepper, Pimento, arid other Spices, continue de clining in price, and in very limited demand. The sales declared by the East Indii i Company are, for the' Bth of April, 501 bales Cotton, 7,461 bags ditto; 11,354 bags Rice; '1,580 bdgs Sugar.—For 10th of May, , 1,079 tons Saltpetre ; 6,6'10 bags Black Pepper ; 130,000 lb. Cinnamon ; 100,000 lb. Cloves ; 35,000 lb. Mace ; 100,000 lb. Nutmegs. COTTON MAIIKET. Our advices from Liverpool are rather cf a more favourable nature. Cotton was somewhat steadier, and a sale of 1000 Bowcds had taken place on Wed nesday at an improvement of about id. per lb. In this mai ket they have remained steady through out the week, without any•variation in price, except ing Bengals, which may be quoted id. lower; but: the business has been very inconsiderable. • FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE By the Flanders Mail we have received Letters from Antwerp of the 29th oh. The following arri vals had taken place there :•:-1255 chests Sugar; 484 hags Cotton ; and 15 bap s Co ff ee from Ilavan nah : 1692 bags Coffee from Philadelphia : 210 chests Sugar ; 39a2 bags Rice ; and 42 bags Coffee from Batavia and 645 tierces Rice ; mad 273 bags Cotton from Charleston. Price.; of Coffee anti Sugar were looking down. We have also recei.!ed some accounts from the United States, of wliich the following is the purport Seasonable Cotton Goods, calculated:for . the Spring tra..le. were in demand at Chatlesinn and NOw York ; alan French and German manufaduro, suck ac changes. able Silks, Shawl, black Crapes, coarse Linen, Diaper, and low priced five 4ths Sheeting--Flaxen Osnebruck at 14 cents. Light thin dressed Cloths and Casiinirs ‘vere the only description of Woollen manufactures which could be sold near their value. Fine high priced Cloths were in no demand. Coffee was getting in better request; but no essential varia tion in prices. Muscovado Sugar was sold as low as 12i dollars. Crockery-ware and Porter heavy of sale. Upland Cotton was sold at 23 to 24 cents. Rice declining, the best parcels only would command .5 dollars. 64,891 hhds. of Tobacco had been exported from the United States during the year ending 30th December, ISl7,,and 84,337 Ithds. in ISIS. By the Albion, arrived at Liverpool, accounts have been received from Nest York of the 10th ultimo. The market still continued loaded with British goods, but the demand had increased a little for soft goods, and the better kinds of cutlery and hardware. Or ders for some kinds of goods have been transmitted by this conveyance, to houses in the cotton and woollen branches, with some remittances in specie. FRANcF.. A Trench Mail arrived this morning, with letters of the 30th of March; business continued dull, ac cording to the advises we have received, all trans actions being confined to purchases for home con sumption. It was reported that the crcps of coionial produce bad been very abundant in the French Islands, particularly Guadaloupe Sugars, which were arriving, in large quantities ; this circumstance, added to the large supplies already on hand, tended materially to produce the present stagnation ; still prices were not much affected by it ; low Martinique Sugars, fourth quality, had risen two francs, fifty cents. 13eurbot St. Domingo, and Spanish Island Cof!ee, had.giveit way about 55 eents. Cottons had not - fluctuated much, some triflin reduction was experien c ed i n liallias and Ben s. No sa l es o f I n di go are rimen tioned. Pepper ad risen. Molasses, Pctash, and Tallow, were on the decline. At Paris, the Exchange upon London was 23..545. bills and money; on Amsterdam, ;on Madrid, 15. 60. on Hamburgh, 187 k money ; on Leghorn and Genoa, Bills were offered, the first at .524, and money at 473.

Ile started at a varter-paA three o'clock yesterday morning, (for the first time,) from the Dover Castle Inn, at the Pier-head, Dover, on his journey to London, and arrived at Canterbury, a distance of 16 miles, at half-past six, being only three hours and a quarter. Ile arrived at Sittingbourn, a distance of 16 miles further, at about a quar ter-past ten, and lur.clied at the Lion Inn, he h..•-ing no breek fast ; he then proceeded to Chatham, where he arrived a quar ter before ore, and stopped at the Globe Inn, where he took some refreshment; he thence proceeded to Gravesend, a dis tance of sever miles and a half, and baited At the Prince of Orange. His next stage was to Dartford, seven miles and a half further, and had tea at the Golden Lion Inn; after which, he proceeded on his way to London, and did not stop until he ar rived at she house of Mr. Crib, the sign of the Golden Lion, in the &trough-market, at 25 minutes past nine o'clock, where' there were an immense number of very respectable persons svnltirg his arrival. Crisp was.accompanied by Gentlemen nu I: ors.back, frost erne stage to another, one of whom generally rode on to announce the time of his arrival, and have some not•riaking soup or other refreshment prepared for him. The Cr" ii in some of the towns was very great, so as nearly to ins pede his progress: On his arrival at Crib's, he did not appear much btiglo:d; he complained most of the excessive hills, and the closeness of the weather; after sitting and conversing about a quarter of an hour with his friends, Mr. Crib prevailed on hint to withdrew ; he had two mutton chops and a baton of soup 1 far supper, and went to bed about a quarter-past ten o'clock.— After which many of his friends, who did not expect him before I c!er,2n, arrived. There were several pedestrian gentlemen pre sent, wl:ose greatest performance was walking on the terf or running a mile, who expressed their astonishment at Crisp's wonderful feats. After sleeping very soundly he gut up, and cart ed again on his return to Dover precisely at 3 o'clock this morning. lie is expected to-morrow night about ten. Bets are still five to nye against his performing his task. Many bets were made, and the money staked last night.
