An Account was prefented from the Cuftonsa, of the quan tity of Floor and Rice (wooded and imported, from the tit of Odtober. zgoo, to the sft of Oftober, dos, which was or. dered to lie on the Tabie, and be printed. The CHIANCILLOR of the Excusoysa faid;•he' had thought it is duty, on various occafions, to fubns:t Motions of Adjunrnment, which he was aware mull be produatve of great inconvenience both to the Speaker, and to the Members of the Houfe, for which the Houfe would do him the jditice to believe he felt great regret. The Houfe would alfo do him the inflict to believe, that be felt extreme concern at having found it his duty to withhold from the Houfe, at the time, a com munication of the motives, which induced him to make thefe Motions. He was thankful, he • _ faid; to the Houfe for the indulgence which he bad experienced; he was alto thankful for 'iv. ing him credit for being actuated by motives which appeared to him obvioufly to !tab& that eondue. He could not but rejoice, and if he night be permitted to fay fo,he thought the Houfe had difplayed its accuftomed wifdom and difcretion in not calling upon him to slifclofe the prudential and precautionary motises which operated on his mind, and actuated his conduit. Under thefe cir cumnances, there appeared to him no alternative, and at prefent, he had a latisfaltion in acknowledg ing that he entertained confiderable doubts how fa thofe confiderations would juflify him in mak. jug a motion to a funilar effeCt ; but With him, in fuch a fituation, to doubt was to decidt.. He was fore he Ihoujil have violated his own (cute of his duty, and have done injuitice to the feelings of the Houk, if he bad not ailed in the manner he had done. lle was upon all occalions, and particular ly under the prefent circumilances, unwilling to foi ado the opportunity of reforting to the delibet naive wiftiom of Parliament; but,thongh he was convinced that fuch a reference would not be ne ceffary on the prefent occafion, Tet as there might be a bare poiEbility of it, he was induced to recom mend to the Houle to concur in the Motion, with which be should conclude, that the Houfe thould, at its riling, adjourn till Tuefday next, and be hoped on that day he (build not be difap. pointed in his expectation of being enabled to move a further adjournment to the afith, when he trulled that the Houfe would proceed on public bufinefs. He then moved that the Houle mould adjourn to Tuefday next, Mr.T. Jolts. (aid, he was fare there was no man in the Houk more inclined than himfelf to give credit to the Right Hon. Gentleman for the retli tude ofhis conduit, and the purity of his motives; but in the prefent inflance he thought that confi dence could not be given by a Member of Parlia. • Pent, confißendy with his duty to his conflituents. Cnnfidering the prefent Hate of public affairs, be really did not underaand that ano th er fhoriad jourtuisent would be neceffary, knowing, as be did, that the ()tort adjournment.: which had already taken place had excited confiderable uneafinefs in the public mind. Whatever the motives and cir cumffances which had given rife to chide adjourn menu might be, however important they were • in their nature, he could not, as a Member of Perlin inent,fee that they ought longertobe withheldfrova the Honk and the public. Whatever they might be e they were mode worfe by runsbur, and a full con‘ pannication was necerary to prevent the circulation pf exaggerated or falfe repprts, which kept public feeling In a Rate of fhegrefueft uneafinefs and agi• tation, There was a circumftance which Rruck his, mind u extremely Singular, and if he was not is regular, he would lhortly advert to it. What be pt was, that during the time of tbefe (hors ad of the Houfe in this country, the Le gidative Body in Franc; was alfo adjourned from one day to another by no means remote. It might be (aid, indeed, that they were forced to adjourn, beau& the Chief Conful had ipformed Orin by a - mange that they did not difeover fufficient unity of intention, but, thank GOD, there was in this country no frmftar caufe of ' adjournment. The 'Snifters of the Crown had no reafon to complaip pf any difpotltioa to oppofe their meafures, or to lament the want of unity of intention in the deli imatiousof thr Houfe.—Thefe remarks he bad ;bought it. his duty to fpggeft, from a firm conic. , . dog that the difclofure of the reafops producing the ()tort adjournments which had already taken • 1 : race, would tend.much to quiet the anxiety, and ...; ' ; o fatisfy the euriofity 'of the public ; and he trait r. 7 • • id that both the Right Hon.

T e nfual expredions of loyalty and refpeaful affeaion greeted their entrance into their new box: It has undergone a confiderable change in decoration and embellifinnent fince the fiat night. A rich drapery in folds, with a broad border of gold, is fuperadded to the original facing on each fide of the royal arms, with a golden crown in the centre of each.—A new brmdfiuted golden cornice runs actors the top, from which is lurpended a drapery of blue and gold, and the cor nice is furmounted with large plumes of gold of the Prince's feather, (landing at equal diftances. Thefe alterations have been made for the purpofe of giving additional fnlendour ; and Cu much talk has been difplayed in the difpolition and delign, that the box is now in every point truly elegant and fuperb, as becomes -a feat defined for fuck exalted vifitors.

His body could not be found till dragged for, and as loon as brought to land was immediately placed in a warm bath, where every mode ufed in fimilar cafe; hy the "W- I mane Society was adopted, but we are lorry to fay, in vain. The Coroner's Inquetl fat yeflerday, and returned a verdift of dlecidnual Death. The hole in which he periffied had been made for the Convenience of the fwans, and is now filled up. The Serpentine is every day crowded with Fa fhionaMer, fome °caking, tome fliding, and the relt as fpeftators. Among the flatters, yellerday, we noticed Mr. MASTER; and Mr. WEs+ of the Roza' AcadeMy, who entertained and edified a group of youthful Exhibitors with a Lellure upon etnat.united elegance. upon which he threw fo much Ii ht clearly evinced he is no dauber in his profegion. The following trick, which has lately been played in Paris, though yery ingenious, has not the merit of originality :—A Lady, elegantly drafted, went to the (hop of an Apothecary, and defired a private conference with him. After a long preface, fhe acquaintedeltim that it was with extreme concern that (he had obferved the health of her only fon daily declining • that (he feared his illnefs was the confequence of youthful indif. cretion, which he was affiantql to acknowledge. She therefore entreated the Apothecary to extras the fecret from him, and to take him under his cafe, for which (he promifed a handfome corn. penfation. The difciple of ESCULA PIUS made great promifes, and the Lady took her leave. —She then drove to a filk.mercer—fhe pur chafed filks to ; large amount, and defired the Mercer to fend one of his young men with her for the money. She took the lad - and the filks in the coach, and drove to the Apothecary's, intro duced them to each other, and left them together. After a few minutes 'Hence, the young man ten dered the bill for the (Ilk. The Apothecary, thinking it was a written ftatement of his cafe, (kid be had rather examine him himfelf. A long and laughable equivoque took place before the trick was difcovered. A (angular eircumflanee happened on Twelfth night.—A Mr. H. went to a paftry•cook's !hop, in tleet-flreet, about twelve o'clock at night, tq purchafe 4 cake; and after repeatedly kqoair•s ; a woman, half afleep, came from a back p and on entering the !hop exclaimed, hulbl' e le we have loft our Me; Cate /"-- 11,6 r.tt into the chop, and t'4)..d Mr. H. with hariug dokit it; however, after an explanation, t appeared fome other perfol bad done that, at' accordingly Mr. H. purchafed a cake, 'an,' wept about his - Gnefs.—ln his wa) home, the Sony rid, of Blackfriar's.bridge, overtook a man with a large parcel upon rig head, and immediately walked up to him, and endeavoured to learn the contents, fuf?eeting he was the perfon who had committed the theft : he followed him fome time, till an opportunity offered of communicating his furpicions to the patrole, who affifted him in fecnring the thief, but not until after a moll def perate refiflanse, in which the fellow drew a knife, and threatened irritant deftruElion to any one who fhould endeavour to take him; when it proved to be the very cake 'u ft ftolen from the fhop. On Thurfday he was had before the Magilhates at Union-hall, when the paltry-cook was fent for, and (wore to the ingredients, and his (errant proved the ornaments upon it to be thofe he placed there. The cake was valued at 455. and he was accord ingly committed u pon the capital charge of private. ly (keeling to that amount, and will take his trial at threduing Old Bailey Seffions.
