The London Dock Bill, againit which Mr. Munro was heard. went arough thetonunince, and was reported. . When the Stamp Duty Bill was taken into itoodderation in the Committee, The Duke of NORFOLK wilhed to be informed, if the pro ceedings under the Commitlion for the Redemption of the Land sax were to be fubj.d. to the new duties ? If they were, it was IntentionMa to move 'an amendment to the Bill. Lord kLtWKESBURY kid, that be made enquiry on the rub. pet, and that he was informed the proceedings under that corn sniffles would fiend precifely.in the time titration that they did previous to the Bill before the Committee.

Vvitairsdntent whkb he intended to propofebrought might be batiny other Rage tithe Bill. • The Dote of NORFOLK, relying on the declaration of the !hook Lord, would not prepare my autendment. The Bill was thus ThefeCreLef 'NORFOLK prefented a petition from Andr . ew Stoney Robinfern Bowes, ftadog, that he bad been eighteen years a r in the King's Bench; that he was engaged In a Chancery lnit ith the rerdm—•tatlves of the late Lady Strathmore, which Sad continued for many yeau, and probably may continue for u many more ; that it was uncertain. whether the decree would be for or againft him, bet that, noteritidtandlog, be was willing to give fecurity for the gimateft lam that could be decreed againft bins; and therefore prayed that the Houk would relieve him in that which was now before them for the relief of Infolvait Debtors. Ordered to lie on the table. Adjourned to Monday next. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr. SPEAKER having taken the Chair, A Meff?gc from the Lords Intimated their Lordfhipe agreement In the ammaits made by this Houle in the Habeas Corpus ad Teftiftean Bill alfo that they had agreed to the frith Vote of Credit Bill, and the Woolwich Ordnance Land bill. Coin bits— Mr. WESTERN moved thtOrder of the Day for a Committee of the whole Houfe to confider the fe veral Reports of the Corn Committees • , and. on the ianeaion that the Speaker do leave the Z.:hair. Mr. Alderman COMBE rofe to oppofe it, becaufe he thought the fubjea one of too much importance, and too deeply involving the public intereft, to be brought forward at fo late a period of the Seffion, when it was impoffible it could receive the due confi deration it required. He bad. betides, to obferves that the meafure, with a view to which the Hon. Member yeflerday moved for the Cotnmittee, was one which ought not to be adopted without the moft 1123 cure confideration. For even already. and while the Bill, which had fo recently fallen to the ground, was pending in Parliament, its operation upon the Corn Market was molt alarming. The price of bread-corn particularly had a molt unufual and enormous rife, from no other public conk, infomuch that the Bakers Company had yefterday waited upon thelord Mayor and Magiftrates, and reprefented that, owing to. this rife, they could not, without a molt confiderable lots, proceed with their bufinefs, unlefs a very material percale was made in the price of bread, as regulated for the week. The price of corn continued to rife higher this day, and for this faa he would appeal to his Hon. Colleague near him (Mr. Alderman Cu It. r Is). It was, therefore , obvious that the confeqyences of reviving the meafure mat be extremely operate to the public, and he hoped the Hon. Member would not perlifk in the meafure this Seffion. Mr. WESTERN raid, he was forty to find the Bon. Gentleman objea to a meafure that had already been ditbuffed in Parliament. Should the motion for the Speaker leaving the Chair be now agreed to, it was his intention to move in the Committee certain refolntions, which fhould be the ground-work of a 13ill he afterwards meant to bring in for regulating the exportation and imeortation of Corn ; and which Mould be fimilar to a Bill lately paffed in that Houle, but which was loft in eonfequence of the Lords hav ing made in it certain amendments that were incom patible with the privileges of the Commons. He thoold bring in jut} fuch another Bill, with the amend ments, and then Gentlemen, who meant to oppofe it, fhotild recoiled that it bad patted that Houfe without even a divifion ; and that it had paired the Houfe of Lords without any, or very little oppofition. The SPEAKER here interrupted the Hon. Mem ber, by obferving, that he was not at liberty to take notice of any thing which paired in the other Houfe of Parliament. Mr. WESTERN refumed He Paid, be was Corry if he tranfgreffed the orders of the Houle ; but his (skied was t" (hew that the Bill, of which he meant to move a fimilar one, had been confidered by Par liament as a neccfftry :mature, in as much as it paired both Houfes in the manner he deicrihed. He was lure that, upon due confideration, aientle men would feel this to be a moll important mtaitire. It was nothing leis than a meafure to prevent thou fonds of acres of land throughout the country from being deferted by the plough ; W prevent farmers from converting their lands to other purpoles be tides thole of (owing corn. It was a meafore to pre vent the recurrence of that ( c arcit y , which had been felt in to dreadful a manner fume years ago ; and, ul mately, to make the price of corn moderate rod cheap. 'Fhefe things could never be done by itn portation ; they mutt be done by holding out a fut . - ficient inducement to the farmer to cultivate grain. —lt was as much for the interell of the continuer as it was for the grower of corn, that fuch a re gulation as was contained in that Bill Ihould take place. He alfo withed that Gentlemen would, for a moment, look at this meafure on the principle of policy: and fee how far it was necelfary In far as it refpe&ei foreign countries. There were fame ir cumllances, which had very recently come to his knowledge, that mutt render the policy of the mea lure very apparent. He underfluod that the G - vernment of France had lately ifilied an order Mr permitting the elm ration of corn, with a view that the agriculture of France mig ht [ of fiiilaamentin alwol) uld in jury. He hoped , th erefore, that Pa•li take care, that it would not be necettAry fur us to import any corn into this country, which mull operate as an encouragement to the agriculture of France, and as a ChiCellt.igtll33ll3 to thAl of Great IlrOaol. This was a very fetious coafiderat4A, and he h..rd h would have its due weight with the Hook. He was confident, that if fome encouragement was not I held nut to snake it more worth the farmer's while to grow corn than it was at prefent, we could ex pc l •nothing elfe but fcarcity. The refolutions he now had to fubmit were fo moderate, that no one could objeft to them. Here the Honourable Mesa her moved certain refolutions fimilar to thole that had been laid before the Houfe before, and declar ing the neceffity of certain regulations for the im portation and eviortation of corn. Sir WILLIAM CURTIS declared that he was equally anxious with the Hon. Gentleman to promote the °hied of the Bin be meant to introduce, as he perfealy agreed with him, that every en coura g ement (hould be held nut to she growers of corn, to snereafe the quantity of that article in the country. But he agreed with his Hon. Friend near him (Alderman Combe), that a further time ought to be allowed for the difcuffion of a meafure of that kind ; which, at the prefent moment, was likely to do a great deal of mifchief in the country. He whiled the Honourable Gentleman oppofite him to confider what was the operation of the Bill that was already before the Houle. It had the effee of fpreading a general alarm throughout the metropolis , and railing the price of corn and of bread. On the laft market day, wheat role ss. a fack ; on the prefent day, it role ss. more. All this was in confequence of the Bill which palled that Houfe ; and if a Bill, merely in its provers through Parliament, had produced loch an effeit, what might not be expetted from it when puffed into a low ? The prices would become fo high, that we fhould be obliged to leek for fupplies from foreign countries. For thefe reafons he. would oppofe the meafure which the Hon. Gentleman meant to bring forward, and which, he trated, he would put off till next feffion. The motion for the Speaker's leaving :the Chair was then agreed to, and the Houfe being in a Com mittee, agreed to the tefolutions moved by Mr.Wef tern, aild the report was ordered to be brought up to-morrow.—Adjourned.

In a New- York paper we find a Copy of the Proclamation of Ds ssa h.ha s s, after his horrid maffacre of 2505 French, men, women, and children's in which he declares his political principles and views ; and alfo his fummons to the Spanith part of St. Domingo to fubmit to his Government. It is impotlible to read them without horror—but they are the natural fruits of long en dured barbarity and opprellion l The Slave Trade was never calculated, by its very nature, to produce other effeas. The details furnithed by the American Journalb, are given in the lark page of this Paper. PARIS JOURNALS. We have received the Moniteurs to the nth intl. inclufive. In that of the toth, the names of the difkrent Ambafradors and Minifters who prefented their credentials to the EMPEROR of the Fatima, at his firit public audience fince his exaltation, are given with all the pomp and circumftance of their titles. In the lift will he found the reprefentatives of all the States of Europe which are to amity with France, with the exception of Auftria, Rufta, Swe den, and Portugal. It is poffible this latter Power may have no ae.tual refident Minifter at Paris ; for we are at a lofs to account, upon any other rational hypothetic, for his non-appearance at this folemn aa of homage and fealty. The fentiments of the Courts of Petcrburgh and Stockholm towards the Ufurper, ever fence his cowardly affaffination of a Prince of the Sou it sos v, are pretty generally known to all Europe, and fulliciently account for the ab fence of the reprefentatives of thofe Powers. Upon what pretest bl. 1)6 COLENTZEL, who is 'aetually at Paris, withheld his prc?encc, we have no means of information. However teludant the EMPEROI of GERNIAVY may feel to recognize his new brotber and eval, in the prcfent circumftances of Europe, he would fcarcely venture to provoke the indigna tion of Boa AAAAA e, by forbidding his Ambalrador to firell the train of the valcal Minifters that graced the Cortican's pretence chamber. There are Come obtervations made on the prefent extraordinary epoch in the hitlory of Prince; and Europe is told, " that the new French Empire is greater from its cra.l-, than the ancient Monarchy was in the proudeft days of Louis the Fourrseierm.'' But the moR extraordinary article in this Official Paper, is a fpecics of maniteßo addreffed to all the Powers of Europe, and particularly to thole who are within reach of the gripe of France. Under colour of erpofing the abfurdny, and contradiaing a num ber of prevalent reports, the writer of this article plainly points out to time furrounding States, what the EstrIAGI of the Fs ENC 4 intends to do, by telling theca what he has not done. This has been one of the lama hacknied that have been employed by thole oho have governed France from ROSS SPaItSII to BMIAPARTT. It is t 11:: flak trick s which the Dire. ory alivays I - slotted to wheniver it wilted to defolate any of the neigh bouring States, for the purpores of plunder or ambition; and when Bo AAAAA TB conceived the plan of exalting himfelf to the Imperial throne of France, we well recollelt, that in all the Gazettes on the Continent a report to that effect was circulated, for the purpofe, no doubt, of feeling the pulfes of France and the greateft Rates of Europe. Judging by the pat, therefore, we amid not be at all furpriz ed, if in the phrenay of his ambition, and the intox ication of • his new dignity, the Corfican fhould feri °nay meditate neon achieving Come of thofe extra ordinary changes which feem to be mentioned only with the intent of expofing their abfurdity. If thofe conjatures be rational, our Readers will perceive that the Papal Chair is moR probably def tined for Cardinal Fescii, the maternal uncle of tho Emperor Napo zios. Hanover is not to be united to France, " becaufe it would be a caufe of jealoufy " between the French nation and that Prince (the , s Kim° of Payssta) who was the friend and ally of " France when all Europe was confpired againft , r her," We fbould be difpofed to conclude, from this extraordinary obfervation, that either Come at rangement is altually on foot for transferring the Eleitorate to Pruffia, or that it is thrown out as a bait to encore either her co-operation, or, at leaft, her neutrality, in the podibility of a rupture with the reft of the Northern Powers. Our readers will, no doubt, be particularly (truck with the angular obfervation with which this ma nifeflo concludes, for fuch, in died, it is intended to be. Who the Minifter is who (poke in the determined tone which is Rated, is not mentioned ; but we have every reafon to imagine that it was addreffed to the Emperor ALEXMIDIft by Hinouvazzs, the Am baffador of France. We have not heard of any other Court that has been lately quitted by a French Mi nifter ; and we are perfuaded, if this conje&ure be true, that the diffatisfaCtion of that Court is even greater, and may be dated further back than the pub lic had reafon to fuppofe.
