BR t sr, Jaw. 3i.—Letters from Sp a in announce, that two Spanilh !hips have entered the Port of Lilbon, and that the Duquene and Syren have ar- rived at Cadiz. Two failors belonging to the merchant veffel la Revanche died at tea, from the feverity of the cold, and the Captain is hittifelf very ill. Coswi, 30.—The FIRST CONSUL dined here, on his return from Lyons. He vifited the forges, accompanied by the Sub•Prefed, and the Mayor, and infpe&ed the manufactory with the greateft attention : he diftributed 25 or 3o Louis amongft the workmen. Le Cerf, a veffel difpatched from the Englifh ifland of Dominica, by General LACROSSII, who teems to have taken shelter there, arrived here yefterday. The frigate la Penfee, which failed from this port fine the. figning of the Prelimina ries of Peace, had arrived at the fame island. The letters brought by le Cerf, dated Dec. t ' confirm the report of the diflurbances which have taken place at Guadalonpe. The mulatto Magloire Pe lage had feized on the fnpreme power. BOLOGNA, JAN. 2o.—Notwithflanding the vigi lance of our Government, robberies and murders increafe in the moll alarming manner. There were a few nights (Mee no lefs than three murders committed, and the affafEns arc as yet undifcover. ed. The night following an attempt was made to blow up the Theatre, by two wretches who had contrived to convey a quantity of powder in for that purpofe. The plan was fortunately dif covered time enough to prevent the dreadful con fequences of an esplofion ; but the two iticendia ries efcaped. Rouks, Fes. 6.—The fecret of the infernal ma chine was believed to have been loft with the lives of thole villains by whom it was invented. A combination nearly finiilar has Rruck a terror in to the commune of Bourgthcroulde. Some indi viduals, who accorifing to every appearance were difguited, delivered at the houfe of widow Duval, miltrefs of an inn at la Bouille, a letter, with a ik a!): , ilt a torn it and a half in length : the whole -lied as follows—" To Citizen Pillon, inn at Bourgtheroulde, to be kept for Citizen orne, watchmaker at Saint-Pierre, Bourgthe , 311 packct was delivered by the widow Duval oenh.r. A:10 car:h.4l it to Citizcit Pillon. who fent off the letter, but kept the trunk for want of an opportunity offending it to Citizen Balicorne the latter repaired immediately to Bourgtheroulde to receive the clock Paid in the letter to be kept for him, but curiofity inducing him to open the coffer, he put his finger on a hook which communicated with the intenor of it,,and immediately a dread ful explofion took place, which deflroyed the walls of the apartment, carried Balicorne to fome diftance, and buried him among the ruins. —This fatal box contained feveral (mall cannons, filled with gunpowder, and placed in fuch a man ner that the hook which kept the coffer (hut com municated with the triggers of them ; a woman, who was in the houfe, was killed on the fpot ; the wife of C. Pillon was feverely wounded, and his daughter had her eyes blown out; a failor, who was accidentally in the houfe at the time, was not killed. Two individuals, domiciliated in the Commune of Bourgtheroulde, one of whom is a watchmaker like Balicorne, and the other a lockfmith, have been arrefled on fufpicion of having committed this crime, the caufe of which is afcribed to jea loufy. CONSTAN TI NOPL E, DEC. 25.—The turkifh navy, arrived in port, is difarming. The foldiers of the marine, who are difcharged, are making great dig: turbances in the fuburbs. A perfon attached to the Swedilh Legation, and two Englith travellers, have lately been attacked and robbed in the en virons of Pera. The CAPITA:4 PACHA has left three 'hips of the line, and a number of Frigates, to watch the coati of Egypt. A veffel, newly conffrueled, mounting ninety suns, has been launched in the prefence of the GRAND &mums, and the whole Cjurt. To-day the lalf tranfport with French prifoners has fet fail on her return to France. BERNE, JAN. 26.—The Little Council has fcnt to each of its fix new.chofen Senators a letter, which contains, among other things, the follow. ing Circumftances have engaged the Senate to augment its numbers. It invites you, in the molt preffing manner, to repair to your pofts. The nearer the moment approaches in which Helvetia is to enjoy independence, the more neceffary it is that all minds fhould join in an union, without which the pureft motives mull be ineffeEtual. This confideration, and your love for your Country, are fidEcient to engage you to accept a poft to which her confidence and your fervices have-called you." Jaw natty 3o.—A courier has arrived here from Zurich, with difpatches, which are far from being of an agreeable nature. The three diltrias of Horgen, Metmenlletten, and Meilen, are in a (late of inTurreelion. They have fent fix deputies to the Prefea of Government to complain of feveral per lons being an cited by his orders, of the difmiffal of from fifteen to feventeen Sub-Prefeas and prin cipal Agents, and of the expences occafioned by the military executions. Thefe deputies were not able to obtain redrefs. At prefent the people in the country are every where arming themfelves, and talk of marching to Zurich. In many places there are permanent clubs, and the greatell animofity prevails between the people in the city and thole in the country. Almoft all the troops who were here have marched to Zurich and Arau. In the mean time the town will be guarded by the citizens. A deputation however arrived here, confining of the molt refpeFlable inhabitants, who demand the difmiffal of the Prefect •of Zurich.— Our firft Landamman has requefted them to draw up a petition in writing, and to prefent it to the Petty Council. The exaction of Tithes is the pre tence and caufe of all thefe diforders. ZURICH, JAN. 28.-r-A fpirit of infurre&ion reigns in this Canton, highly alarming, which arofe from the difguft of the people at the appointment of certain Public Funetionaries, who were the ob jells of general deteftation. The few French troops that were here, were compelled to retreat in the greateft diforder by a confiderable body of armed peafants, who likewife arrefted many of thofe Functionaries who were obnoxious to them. The news, however, of the approach of a large body of French troops, has put an end for the prefent to the revolt. Fitancarear, Jaw. 28.-It is faid that an union will be formed between the Ecclefiaftical Princes of Germany, for the purpofe of thing in concert, relative to the affairs of the Secularizations. M. de DaLazy, Bifhop of Conftance, and Coadjutor of Mayence, is the main-fpring of this Confede racy. He has confulted upon the fubjea with the Eleaor of TR EVES at Aug burg, and with the Bi flops :of BAMBERG and WURTLBURG. He is at Refent at Afchaffenburg with the Eledtor of MATINCI, from whence he will, it is faid, go to Vienna. The Negotiations of M. Set; Trait r, Envoy from Wurtzburg at the Court of Vienna, have failed of fixed's, and he is preparing to return to Wurtz burg. The Deputies of many other Ecclefiaftical Princes will alfo quit Vienna. They begin to per. ceive that the Secularizations will not be delayed, and that they mull reiign themfelves to their fate. There is yet, however, nothing Paid about the Con vocation of the Extraordinary Diet of the Empire, although all the Sub• Delegates have been Tome time fence appointed. It is alerted that the Nigociations between the Courts of Berlin and Vienna having failed of fuc ca.', are broken off. AUGSBURG, JAN. 26.—8 y the lag intelligence from EuriTean Turkey, it appears that Paswasi Oc Lou remains tranquil at Widdin, and refutes to fopport in their rebellion the janilfaries of Bel grade, who have invited him to take polfeffion of that Pachalic. It k doubted, in fpite of this, whe ther the revolters will recognize any Governor fent to :hem from Conftantinople. MUNICH, JAN. 24. —The number of Brigands which infell Bavaria may be judged of by th.: num ber which has been airetied, and which, in De cember alone, amounted to 1139 robbers, defert ers, vagabonds, and mendicants. Several of there have been condated bLyond the Frontiers, and die molt criminal delivered over to the Tribunals. Tbefe atreas have becu made in confequenee of new regillati:w.s with regard to pairporte, and amsliorations u. Lhe PARLIAMENTARY PRSCEEDNGS. HOUSE OP LORDS, FRIDAY, FEB. 13. Certain Accounts, relative to the Exports and Imports of the lift year, were profaned by two Commiflioners of his Mak& ty's Odom& Ant:Mica from the Commilfioners for the Reduellon of the National Debt, prefentcd an Account of the eapeoditure of that department for one year, ending the pit of January taft. The Order being read, for giving Judgment relative to the important Appeal, Johnfon o. Stotts, The LORD CHANCELLOR quitted the Woolfack, and delivered his fentiments of the merits of the cafe, and in illuftrating which he difplayed his ac cuftomcd t. I,nts, perfpic , iity, and legal know ledge. With refpcit to their Lordfhips' decifion upon the cafe, he ohferved, what he intended to fubmit to their confideration as a final refult, was a certain variation of the Interlocutor of the 18th of Decembcr, 1799; and, in the prefent inftance, he fhould propore, that the further hearing of the cafe be deferred till tome day next week, in order Ito give him an opportunity of determining in what form he Ihould bring forward his intended propoll film, and to confider how fuch a refolution, fop pofing that their Lordfhips fhould adopt it, may be framed in the way molt beneficial to the parties concerned. Upon the whole, he raid, he was not then perfealy decided as to the form of varying the Interlocutor in queition, but he hoped their Lordfhips would excufe him fur taking up fo much of their time, his principal motive for which, in the prefent initance, was to relieve the parties in the cafe, as far as -was pratticable, from that anxiety which neceffarily was attached to a (tate of fufpenfe in a cafe offneh importance; He would theretore propofe, that the farther confederation of the cafe be deferred till Wednefday next ; which propofal kerning fully to meet the kale of their Lordfhips, he moved to that effeet, and it was ordered to take place accordingly. Some private bufinefs was then difpofed of, after which their Lordfhips adjourned till Monday. rriftrel trunk at:Ltrelf keeper 1131;cot • rouhie. to .1 pu HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr. HIORMAM prefented at the Bar the annual Account of the Conunifßoners for reducing the National Debt for the year ending the jilt of January, aOz.—Ordered to lie as the Table. The SrllAKlta fisted that as there was a eonfiderable quanti ty of private burin& before the Houfe, he would propofe that after tie public bufinefs Mould be dipofed of, the Houfe lbuuld refume the confideratioo of the private bufinefs ; adding, that during the neat week be would be ready to take the Chair at three o'clock, or earlier if the Houfe lhould think it neeefary. Mr. VA NSITTAIT brought in a Bill for enabling his Majefty to mile the Sum of zAcopool. by Exchequer Bills, for the ufe of the United Kingdom for the year sfloz.—Read a lirft, and ordered to be read a fecond time to-morrow. The Order of the Day for the Houfe to refolve into a Com mittee on the Ad relative to the American Treaty was deferred till to-morrow. On the Motion of Lord GLEN starts, the Southern Whak Fithery BM, was read a fccond time, and committed for Mon day ; to which day the Committee on the Bill to regulate the Sale of Eels was poßponed. Mr. Fa IWIN, front the Commilkners of Cuftoms, relented at the Bar an Account of the Quantity of Meal, Flour, Corn, and Rice imported into this country for the year ending the sth of January, 1802. BREACH OF PRIVILEGE. Lord FOLKESTONE role to call the attention of the Houfe to a matter which he thought materi• ally concerned its dignity. He could have wifhed the fubjed were in abler hands than his own, that it might come forward with the weight and im. portance that it deferved ; and if the Houfe re garded its own dignity, and its privilege, it would adopt tome meafure which might mark the just fenfe of indignation which a breach of its privi leges deferred. The breach of privilege to which he alluded was committed in one of the public prints. We did not mean to allude to the prac tice of detailing the debates and proceedings of ' Parliament, though it was a ufage of which he did not think fo favourably as tome Gendemen, nor fo unfavourably as others. But fome of thofe public prints, not content with affuming the liber ty of detailing thofe debates and proceedings, had the audacity to obtrude their own opinion upon fubeds in difcuffion before that Houle, and to pats fcurrilous refledions, not only upon the fpeeches, but the charaFters of its Members, for the fentiments they had expreffed in the courfe of the debate. A newfpaper, entitled the True Bri tax, of the loth init. which he had in his hand, not fatisfied with having detailed the debate which took place on the preceding day, upon the fob• jet of the Army Extraortfinaries, proceeded to comment upon the fpeeches of tome Gentlemen upon this fubjed, and that in a (tile of filch auda cious fcurrility as be fhould not wound the deli. racy of the Houfe by reading.—(Here was a. ge. neral cry of read read! read!) Lord Folkeflone then read two paragraphs from the paper in his hand, as follows : "The only ftep that could have been taken by the precut Government to avoid difehargieg the expenee thus incurred, molt have been, to flop the Payment of the Bills drawn by dif ferent Comm'traria or Envoys, when prdented at the Treafti ry. Such a =afore it might well fuit the wife head of a 14774.44,_0r a ft—s—o to remmunend. After 'fome further obfervations, it then goes on thus :--- " But a difeertang Public will have no diSculty in dif criminatlng between the frivolous cavilling of half-witted Se nators, and the laudable vigilance of the Statcfman or ti e Patriot.—To the faced cluuseicr of the latter, let net that individual prefunie to afpirc, who dares to bring a charge of liandalases p•flisse, from the proof of which he &rinks ; and who, by a &frilling cant about candour and honey, perhaps, but vainly,hopcs to impofc upon a Public, in whore ettinution profeffions will not con ititute worth, on the one hand, nor vague unproved charges, demerit, on the other." Such, he laid, was the language a public print had dared to ufc, in marked difrefpee to the Houle, and defiance of its authority, and he thought it was high time for the HouCe to mani left its vigilance for the vindication of its privi leges. This circumllance had reached his know ledge this day by mere accident, and he thought it his duty to bring it forward at the earlieQ op portunity fur the confideration of the Houfe. He was wholly unprepaled to propofe any motion on the fubjed, but hoped the Honfe would take it up in a fuitable manner. With the Gentlemen to whom the paragraphs he had juft read perfo nally alluded, he had had no communication whatever on the fubjea, neither had he with thofe Gentlemen any private intimacy or conneCtion whatever. He was aftuated purely in the ftcp he had taken by a fenfe of his duty, and hoped he had not done more. For the difeuMon of the Houle he would leave the adoption of the proper Reps in vindication of its own authorities. Mr. Merril, (Tewkefbury) Paid, he too had Peen the fcnrrilous comments alluded to, and fhould have thought them too contemptible to his notice, had they not been mentioned by the Noble Lord. Mr. WILBERFORCE role to fpeak, but the SPEAKER obferved, that the Noble Lord who had introduced this topic had concluded his (preen without any motion, or notice of motion ; and as it was not before the Houk in the thape of any queftion in which it could be entertained contin ently with regular order, he would fubmit to the good fenfe of the Houfe whether it was advifable to take up its time with irregular converlations. —As, therefore, there was no regular quellion before the Houle, it was his duty to fuggeft the propriety of proceeding to the Orders oithe Day. The Houk accordingly did proceed, and re folved itfelf into a Committee on the Plymouth Back Bill.—Ordered to report on Monday. SLAVE TRADE. Mr. WILBERFORCE faid, the Houfe would re collet that towards the clofe of the !aft Salon of Parliament, he gave notice of his intention again to bring forward the fubje.ft of the Slave nada. He was very unwilling to give the Houfe unnecer fary trouble, but he underltood, that in the course of this Seffion, when he was not prefent, a Righ t Hon. Friend of his (Mr. Canning) bad given no tice of his intention to bring forward a motion upo'a the fubjed. He wi(hed therefore to know from his Right Hon. Friend, what the nature and ob• jet of that motion was, and at what time it was intended to be brought forward ? Mr. CANNING faid, he certainly had it in con templation to bring forward a motion upon the• flifijed, though he was not prepared at the prefent moment to fix any period at which he should bring it before the Houfe. In anfwer, however, to the refine(' of his Hon. Friend (Mr. Wilberforce) who wished to know the nature and objet of the motion, he had to obferve, that the motion would not be fo comprelienfive as that of his Hon. Friend, ask did not go to dilcontinue the Slave Trade, but to prevent the creation of Slave Trade. The motion which he had to propofe was calculated as mach to confirm and arengthen the ;literals of the Weft India Planters, as the other motion had been faid to militate againlt them. Having faid thus much, he should have been perfedly ready to mention a day fur the bringing forward his motion, was it not for two circumftances. The firft was, that rumours had reached him of an intend*, on the part of Government, to accompany the grant of land in the Weft Indies, with certain reft - ridions and limitations relative- to this objet. Whatever might be his opinion relative to fuch a fyltern of reftridion and limitation, yet if it was intended to be brought forward and fubmitted to the Houfe, he was inclined to wait for that opportunity. The other reafon that operated upon his mind was that his motion would principally attach to the Wand of Trinidad. That ifland was not at prefent de finitively in the potation of Great Britain, and, he confeffed, he doubted how far it would be deli cate or proper to bring forward his motion, at a period when that Wand mutt be argued upon as belonging to Great Britain, before it was actually difpolable, or in her pollellion. For thefe reafons he thought it his duty to deter his motion for the prefent. Mr. WI coact Paid, that this quellion had fuffered, on former occafions, by not being brought forward at a period of the Seffion fuf6cieotly early, he, therefore, only withed to obtain a com:d idea of the nature of the motion intended to be brought forward by his Right Hon. Friend. Colonel G*scoyNa withed to know, whether the two Hop. Gentlemen intended to unite their re fpedive motions, as, at prefent, neither of theta had given any notice. Mr. WILBERFORCE again rote; when The SPEAKER obferved, that there being no mo• tion before the Houfe, any further conve•rfatioa on the fubjea would become irregular : if the two Hon. Gentlemen withed to make any arrangement relative to the bringing forward any motiou, it had better be made elfewhere. The converfation, therefore, dropt. The Hnufe then proceeded to private builnefs, which occupied a confiderable portion of Li; ne, uu til the Houfe adjourned, at fa o'clock. LONDON. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13.
