Mr. VANSiTTART moved, that the Houfe on Monday next, refolve into a Committee on the aft of the 39th of his prefent Majefty, commonly c.illcd the Provifional Cavalry Aft. The Hon. Member (aid, that as there were arrears out finding from feveral diftrifts to thofe Cavalry, and as there was no mode prefcribed in this Aft for making the proper afteirments, his objed was to move in this Committee, that the Chairman thould be inftrufted to apply for leave to bring in a Bill for eftabliihing the Rates and regulating their colleflion. It was ordered that the Houfe Mould on Monday refolve into a Committee to confider fo much of the faid Aft as relates to, the turns advanced by the Receivers-General ofl the Paid Cavalry.—Adjourned to Monday. Silt R. PIMA'S •P)IIIeNTICS RILL. The Bill now before Parliament for the " Pre fervation of the Health and Morals of Apprentices employed in Cotton and other Manufaaones" con tains a variety of very falutary regulations. No Appicntice is in common cafes to be cotnpelled to work more than 1 2 hours in each day, exclufive of the time employed at different meals. In cafes where, on account ofholidays, a ftoppage of work takes place, Mafters are authorifed to employ their Apprentices for two hours longer till the time thus loft has been made up ; but the labour is never to be protraaed beyond 14 hours in one day. In fome part of every working day, Apprentices are to be indruaed in reading, writing and arithmetic, in a manner proportioned to their age and abilities, by teachers properly qualified. Once in every week they are to be initiated and examined in the principles of the Chriilian religion ; and, in cafe three Apprentices &ill be of the Church of Eng land, they 'hall at leaft once a year be examined by the Ream., Vicar, or Curate of the refpeflive I iritlies where the faaories are fituated ; and, on a:taining the age of 18, they are to receive confir mation. The Juftices of the Peace arc to appoint vifitors for infpeaing the Rate of the different fac tories, aad fee that the various regulations of the Asa arc properly obferved. One of thefe vifitors is to be a juftice of the Peace, and the other a ' Clergyman of the Church of England. The / re gulations of the Al are enforced by revere penal. ties. From this (bort abaraet it will be feen that /the evils which are at prefent fo juftly the fubjea of complaint will be in great meafure removed, and that the fituation of a very numerous part of the labouring young people of the country will be very ragerially ameliontzd.

This day we received the Paris Journals of the soth inft. The Nonikur is chiefly occupied with the debates in the Britifh Parliament, and congra tulatory addreffes to the FIRST CONSUL on the Peace.—The journals contain a few farther details refpetßing the Ecclefiallical Fete of Sunday lall, but hardly any thing elfe worthy of the fmalleft notice. The Dutch Mail, which arrived yefierday, re. moves all doubt refpetling the Ratification of the Treaty by the Batavian Government. There can be no obfiacle to the final conclufion of the Peace, but the forms of Office, and the tardinefs of Cou riers.

Lord Nacsott is introduced into a new Drama tic Piece, in one aft, lately brought out at Paris, entitled, " The French Painter in London." The name of Lord Swie/ (the anagram of his name) is given to his Lordfhip, and he is introduced in a manner not at all derogatory to the high charafter which he holds all over Europe. The Prince of ORANGE is furnifhing one of the callles of Siegen, in Wdlphalia, the former refi dence of the reformed line of NASSAU SIEGEN. Tne valuable reetory of Oxfett, in Effex, is va cant, as well as that of Stanford Rivers, by the tranflation of Dr. BEADON, to the fec of Bath and Wells. The POPE certainly aged with parental tender nefs and difcriminating favour, in giving the Pa rifians a P/eawy in/fa/genet. Many of them have need of it, and of abfolufion Wu! It is curious that the Irifh Houfe of Commons fhould at length become the abode of a company of gooney changer:. Had people of that defcription been driven out of it many years ago, perhaps it had been well ! Though people are ignorant of the time of the arrival of the ratifications of peace, they are like the wife virgins, and keep their lava trimmed. Mr. HEaTHCOTF, who met with fuch an unfor tunate accident at Newmarket, is likely to recover, though his whole body is fo crulhed that it is much feared he will always be a cripple. The new Comedy of Faflionable Friend:, per formed for the fecond time yeilerday evening, at Drury-lane Theatr e , has been withdrawn. The Treafury of Drury-lane Theatre was rob bed on Tuefday night. The plunder was effeded by breaking open the'delk of Mr. Peake, the Trea finer. Fortunately no greater furn than so neas was found. An enquiry has been fet on foot; but no difcovery has refulted from it. Madame HILLIGSBERG has again had the mif fortune to (pain her foot, the confequence of her uncommon exertions on Tuefday Lift. An affecting, and at the fame time ludicrous tierce, was exhibited a few days fince : A failor, who had-been abfent from his country (ince the commencement of the watyand- •was fuppofed dead by his friends, unexpedettty - came to town about ten days fince, with his pockets pretty well filled with the fruits of his hard-earned fervices. Immediately on his arrival he haftened to the (pot where he had left his wife and child ; but the had left her place of refiaence fome years back, and was gone nobody knew where. Still he was de determined to find her, if alive, and wandered wherever his fancy direded, in hopes of gaining fome intelligence of her fate ; he had almolt ex haußed himfelf in the fearch, and given up all hopes of finding her, when chancing to pats a Rivet, near the Seven Dials, he heard a woman crying water creffes—the found arrefted his atten tion—he thought he recognifed the voice of his for mer helpmate; for a moment he doubted his fenfes, fearcely believing his wife could have experienced fuch a reverfe of fortune, but on coming nearer, his doubts were removed; with a tumult of joy, not to be defcribed, he fnatched the bafket from her arm, threw the creffes into the area, and gave her as comple, , e a hug as honeft and ro bull affedion was cable of performing.—The poor woman was no lets furprized, and burg into tears, which the jolly tar loon difpelled with a comforting drop of the creature. A thoufand queitions were now :diced and refolved in a minute, when the failor hauled away his bride to a cloaths thop in the neighbourhood, where he rigged her from Rem to Rein, calling her old ones into the flreet ; after which he called a coach, and rode away in triumph, (wearing, that now he had found his wandering rib, he was the happieß dog alive. On Sunday evening tan, about ten o'clock, Mrs. Sibery, of Lambeth, being on her return home from a friend's, where the had (pent the day, was flopped by two footpads in Brooke-areet, at the back of Welt-fquare, under the paling belonging to the gardens of Mr. Hedger ; one with a pißol, which he prefented in her face and (truck her-- With dreadful imprecations they demanded her money, or he would blow her brains out. She fell nn her knees, and begged he would not kill her, and he fhould have what money the had, when another man crated the way,and they both fearch ed her pockets, and took from her her pude and I pocket-book. They made off towards Welt-fquare. NAUTIC4L INTELLIGENCE. MAILS THIS DAY.—WIND S. W. MIIRIVZD• DV,. t Dublin. 2 Waterford, • French, 0 o Dutch, 0 o Hamburgh, 0 FALMOUTH, APRIL ai.

EAST INDIA SHIPPING. We have the pleafure to announce the fide ar rival in the Downs of the (hip CALEDONIA, from the Prefidency of Bengal, with rice. She left the pilot in Bengal river in September, and failed from the Wand of St. Helena, the latter end of January.

In the Mediterranean Fleet it was the cuaom, by way of faving all the bread poflible, to allow the men threepence per lb. for all of their allow ance that they left unconfumed. The film due to the feamen on account of this faving, was about 701. The other day the thip was paid at Portf mouth, and they had to receive this money.• One feaman (the only one who had inffered in this way in that lhip) had 101 l his fight in Egypt: the reit of the crew generoufly made him a prefent of the whole of the above rum.

His Majclty, who has ever (hewn the utmoft partiality for this excellent regi ment, accompanied them on their march above two miles, and the regret he expreffed at their de parture mutt prove much more highly gratifying to them, than any encomiums of our's, however truly deferving, we know them to be, of our molt praifes. • Monday, amidlt the plaudits of the inhabitants, after an abfcnce of nine years, marched into Maid ftone, from Hythe and Dungenefs, the fir ft divi lion of the Welt Kent Militia : Tuefday and Wed nefday lalt the two other divifions arrived there.
