This demand is fupported by a me morial, containing (*note very (hong obfervations on the influence whi c h t h e f ree Imperial and Hanfe towns have on the commerce of all nations. Letters from Vienna, dated March at, fay, the lafl letters from Belgrade (peak of the great a&ivity which the Janiffaries employ to put the place in a Bate of defence. The negotia. Lions entered into at Conflantinople by the Aga, in order to effect a reconciliation with the Porte, have not yet been attended with fuccefs. This Aga, who commands the Janiffaries, and ads at the fame time as Governor of Belgrade, maintains a fre quent communication with Passv*w OG Lon. who has again collected a formidable army in the neigh bourhood of Widdin. A letter from Vienna, of the 2:d ult. fay,— The Courts of Madrid and Naples are already giving to each other teflimonies of a fincere friendfhip, which the intended double alliance cannot tail to confolidate. The Spanifh Charge d'Affaires at our Court has received, by a couner from his Sovereign, the decorations and infignia of a new order eftablifhed by him, under the name of the order of Mary Louifa. They are deitined for the qu een of the Two Sieilies, and the three .Princeffes - her daughters. The King of Naples, on his part, has tent to his molt Catholic Majefly and to all the Princes of his bode, the grand Order of St. Ferdinand, as well as the Order of St. Januarius to Cardinal de Bourbon and the Prince of Peace. REPUBLIC OF THE SEVEN ISLES. Colts u, Mascot 15. —The greaten diforder pre. vails in our Republic, and we are more unhappy than ever ; faaion is fucceeded by faition, and every month we find ourfelves in a worfe condi tion. Zante, Cephalonia, and Corfu, aSually form three diftina States. To the difgrace of the Chrißian Powers, the fuprerne direaton of our affairs appears to be now committed to the Turks. It is certainly a fingular deßiny, that our Repub lic lhould be regulated by the firmans of the Porte.—The A ffe mbly convoked to give their opinion upon certain alterations in the Conßitu tion fandioned by the Ottoman Porte and its Allies, have annulled that Conftitution, and ap pointed a new Legifiature. The Kaimacan has in confequence addreffed a letter to the Prefident of the Senate, demanding the immediate re.ella bliffiment of the former fyßem, to died which the Ruffian fquadron and troops at Naples would, if necefary, be employed.—The Porte, which has a difficult enough talk to govern its own territory, can never rellore peace and happinefs to our un fortunate country, unkfs Ruflia, France, and England, intcrpofe their authority. ITALr. MiLAS ' MARCM t4.—The Firll Conful, BONA PART E, has reduced the monthly contribution of the Cifalpine Republic for the maintenance of the French troops in that country, from a,7 0,000 livres to 1,500,000, from the sad of March, and to h 600,000 after the enfuing 2 tff of April. Ac cording to another regulation, the military, bridges over the Po, the Gravellone, the Ticione, Ste. are to be removed, as no longer necefary in time of peace, and replaced by flying bridges, the main tenance of which is to be at the charge of the Ita lian Republic. According to accounts from Florence of the toth inftant, the French General Rusca has em barked with locomen (not SOOO, as was kid), to take poffeffion of the Ifland of Elba. This is the only movement made by the French troops in Italy. General Mvea-r Rill continues at Milan. Her Majefly the (tvisu of ETRURIA is again pregnant. A difference has arifen between the Court of Etruria and that of Madrid, in confe quence of which the Spanith Envoy to Florence is not yet arrived. GERMAN?. VI MINA, MAILCIII 34..—To-day the new Papal Nuncio to his lemma:. Mkrarry had his audi ence of entry ; and Cardinal Rurro, who is go ing to Rome, his audience of leave. The day before yeflerday the Englilh Envoy here, the Hon. ARTHUR Pao sr, received a courier from Lord ELois at Conftantinople, who, it is under flood, brings very important difpatches relative to the affairs of Egypt. A great uneafinefs pre vails at the Porte, occafioned bya general diftruft which it has conceived of feveral Courts. On Saturday laft our ever-honoured Prince, the ARCHDUES CHALLIS, had another ftrong attack of his diforder ; but yefterclay and today he was fomewhat better. It laid that M. Von CRUMPIPEN will not go as Envoy to Berne for tome time. The report that M. Vow Die sIIACII will again leave this city is de clared unfounded. HAMBURG, MARCH 27.—The reigning Duke of Baum sw wit, as a judge of rare talents, has, with out folicitation, given a handfome falary to Dr. Gauss, a native of Brunfwick, 24 years old, to whofe accurate calculations Aftronomers are in debted for the re-difcovery of the new planet Ceres. This planet, determined in Germany, has been firß refound by the two diftinguinted aftro nonsers, Baron ZACH and Dr. PLIERS. It muff have efcaged the French, as they did not fellow ' the Gauffian ellipfe. Dr. Gauss diftinguithed himfelf Rill more early, as one of the molt pro found analyfifts, by a. work intitled : 46 fitiones Arithmeticw, Fleifcher, 1800," in which kveral propofitions, believed to be impoffible, are demonftrated to be poffible.

Lord Dundonald. The further hearing put off till to-morrow. Hie Royal Highnefa ale Duke of CLea suet obtained leave to attend the Common? Committee on Dr. Joiner's Petition. NAZIOD OF ARCOT. Lord Mom* role to &terve, that he had tome time ago given notice of his intention to bring for ward a Motion relative to a tranfation that took place in India, and which, in his opinion, ought to be enquired into. He wifhed to inform the Houfe that he could not before the recefs name any day for making that motion. Lord GRENVILLE laid, if he had been in the Houfe when the Noble Lord had alluded before to this fuhlat, he certainly (hould have made Come obfervation upon it. As fame imputation of mil: cond net appeared to be thrown on two Noble Lords not now in the country, for the (hare they had in the tranfadion alluded to by the Noble Lord, he thought it necefrary to Rate, (though in doing Co he might be tranfgreffing t he rules of the Houfe) that their condud was totally free from all impu , tation of blame ' • and that whenever the quettion came before the Houfe he would vindicate their characters to the belt of his ability. Lord MOIRA declared, that he had not the re motel intention of even infinuating any thing againft thofe Noble Perfons. He had never done fo ; and he wi(hed the public to think of them as if their conduct had been highly meritorious, un til the matter underwent an inveftigation. But I with refped to the fad itfelf, it carried on the face of it fuck palpable marks of violence, injullice, and abufe of power, that it was a (*Nat at teat I well worthy of an enquiry ; and perhaps, on en-1 quiry, the slifapprobation now felt by the public concerning it, might be done away. Here was a Prince placed on the throne of his ancefiors by every right which could entitle him to fit there— by the will of his father—by the laws, of his country—and by the content of the Eaft India ' Company : after he took on himfelf the reins of Government, the Company told him he mutt give up to them the power of collating his revenues, and the Adrniniftration of his Government. He told them he could not content to fnch an infringe ment of his rights; the confequence was, that they depzafed him from his throne, and placed another perfon of the fame family, but not fo near akin to the former Prince, in his Read. This was a tranfadion which, for the fake of the perfons" concerned in it, he thought, deferved to be enquir ed into. DEFIMITITI TRUTT, Lord GusavlLLs rote to alk the Noble Lord near him, when he ezpeaed that the Defini tive Treaty would be laid before the Route, as it would be a at convenience to many Lords to know the probable day of its dircuffion Lord Ps cliAst raid, he could not be certain that the Ratification could take place before the end of next week. But he believed he lhould be able to lay a Copy of the Treaty before the Houfe on Monday fortnight, when he would name a day for taking it into confideration. Lord Gamut.' Paid, he apprehended there would be many important points for confideration on this fubjea when it came before the Houk. In all the Treaties that this country had formerly en tered into at the conclufion of a war, there had been a provifion for confirming and continuing Treaties previoufly elating between the parties ; and if fuch provifion was not made, fuchTreaties were con fi dered as null and void. he could de pend on the reports he had heard, he underftood there was no fuch provifion in the Treaty now con cluded; and if fo, many of the rights which this country enjoyed in confequence of former Treaties, would be completely loft. By a Treaty between this country and Spain, we had a right to cut Log wood and Mahogany in the Bay of Honduras; and by a Treaty entered into with France, in 1787, that country was prohibited from carrying on any trade in India, except under certain reftroaions.— There were other circumftances which he could mention, but this was not the proper time ; the fubjea was worthy of moft ferious attention. At prelim he Arnold move for an account of all Log wood and Killogany imported fi nce ;786, from the Bay of Hond uras; but if the Noble Secretary of State objeaed to the motion he Ihould not prefs it. Lord PILMAM wifhed that all difeufflon on this fubjea might be poftponed until the Treaty came regularly before the Houk. The Motion was not put.—Adjoorned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Blr Wm. SCOTT brought in a Bill for exphinbig and render ing more effedual the Ad of Henry VIII. relative to the Re tide= of the Clergy. Read a heft and ordered to be read a feeond time to-morrow. The Report of the Committee on the Paris Apprentice Re *Hier Bill was brought up, and after tome remarks by Sir W. E and Mr. W. BOOT LI, wa• agreed to, and the Bill or dercd to be read a third time on Wednefday. General GAMMON t made Come alluflon to the Drawback upon Sugar from England to Ireland, upon which he intended to make a motion. The CIIANCILLOII of the Excitation !fated that the final Report upon this Drawback was not yet received from Ireland. The lrilh Corn Bill was read a fecund time, and committed for to-morrow. The Houle in a Committee went through theWoobtrieh Aea dem'. Land BM, and the Report was ordered to be rescind to morrow. ` _ _ -- Mr. Corn prefented feveral Eftimates rebtive to Inland, which were referred to the Committee of Supply. COAL. TR ADA. Mr. Basis, after Bating that to his perfonal knowledge much adulteration and fraud exiited in the Coal Trade, which indeed was generally com plained of, gave notice that he fhotild to-morrow move for leave to bring in a Bill to remedy this grievance, the principal °Weft of which Bill would be, to put the nature and kind of the Coals under the cognizance and authority of the perfons who are now appointed by law to fuperintend their mea surement. TAX BILLS. On the motion of Mr. VAN syrraar, the Loan Bill, the Bill granting additional Duties on Win dows and Lights, and the Beer and Ale Tax Bill, were feverally read a fecond time, and committed for to-morrow. On the motion for the fecund reading of thy Nit for granting additional Duties on Carriages, Ser vants, Horfcs, Dogs, etc. The CHANCELLOR of the Exca coy fills!, that the objections urged on a former night to t!i idea of fubjeding the Inmates in a Farmer's huge t o the operation of the Tax upon Servants, had been fully confidered, and it did appear to him perf !fly jolt to exempt perfons employed in agricalira ti.— Though he was ready to agree in the pi is ciple laid down by his Right Hon. Friend, that the num ber of men employed by any perfon was evidence of property, yet be would not content to ewe,. tlra t principle fo far as to inflid injuftice on any 5i.... at his Majefty's fubjeas ; and undoubtedly ni:tn ber of Inmates in a Farmer's houfe was r.9c a fair criterion of his property, but as far as that prir.. ciple applied to manufadurers, it was fair and maintainable. He hoped that means woill'd found in the Committee to free this nwainre i s out all objections. Mr. M. A. TAYLOR took occafron to nntice a grievance to which perfons fubjed to the Allcifcd Taxes were too 'liable, in conthquence of the exil ing Tax Laws, and which he witted to tee reme died in this.. He complained that the Infpe tors often furcharged a man in the place where he only =annually refided ; for inaance, if a Gentleman bad two different places of refidence, it might oc cur that he would be furcharged in that where lie did not ufually pay his lases. This lie did not Rate as a mere poffibility, for it had often happen ed; but he would do the Tax-office the junice to fay, that in filch cafes as came to his knowledge, the Office, when applied to, gave redrefs ; but much time was 101 l in making there applications, an inconvenience which ought to be contidered. In fall, memorandums were often, according to the modern praitice of Tax-gatherers, ferved upon Gentlemen in London, though they paid their taxes in the country, and thofe Gentlemen upon fuch oe cations were obliged to make oath. To prevent fuch injullice and trouble, it would be well, he thought, to make the Infpedors refund any money obtained on fuch iniquitous furcharges, to the fo aggrieved. Mr. VANSITTART fuggefted, that the bell time to propofe any thing to anfwer the Hon. Gentle man's purpofe, would be in the Committee. He begged, however, to mention, that it meafure was under confederation, with a view to the more equi table colledion of the Revenue4which it was hoped would obviate any complaints upon the fubjed,and which would be fubmitted to the. Houle loon after the Reeds. The Bill was read a fecond time, and commit ted for tomorrow. Mr.WHir. 'RIAD exprelled a with that the Papers on the Table, relative to the Beer and Malt Du ties, thould be printed. The CHANCELLOR Of the Excusosce obferved, that all the Papers which had been moved for by the Hon. Gentleman were not yet on the Table, but when they were, there could be no objeaion to comply with his willies. SINKING FUND. Mr. navies , rote to put fome quellions to the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer, re fpeting the nature of the propoßtion which be had announced his intention to fubmit to the Houfe on Monday; the nature of which he (Mr. T.) con felled he did not by any means underhand, parti cularly how, as it was mentioned, that the pro pofed Confolidation of the two Sinking Funds could ferve to accelerate the liquidation of die National Debt. He knew it was the with of the Right Hon. Gentleman to give the mutt Etas faaory information on the &Ned, and therefore he applied for it. He walled to know whether the soo,oool. Short Annuities, which were to fall in in tBoB, were to be available for the redudion of taxes ? It was alto his defire to have an idea of the calculations upon which the Right Hon. Gen tleman's plan was founded, and at what rate the price of Stocks was (peculated upon for thefe fix years, which intervene between this and 1838 Tbe Cu ANCILLOR of the Excifeossa Paid, that he expelled tome quellions on the fubjed alluded to by the lion. Gentleman, but that the Hon. Gentleman had anticipated his ezpc&ations. He had however tome difficulty as to the mode of giving the Hon. Gentleman the full information he demanded, for upon the heft confideration he could not find a fit way to lay thofe calculations before the Houfe, which were necetfary to put Gentlemen in complete poireflion of the quellion ; indeed there was no precedent of producing the calculations of an individual as the bails of a Le giflative Provifion. This difficulty he (hould get rid of, by moving the Houfe to relblve into a Committee on Thurfday next, in order to take into confideration the Afts of 1786 and 1792, relative to the redudion of the National Debt, and in that Committee he fhould Rate thole calculations, and would take care that a fufficient number of copies of them fhould be provided for the information of the Houfe. It was afterwards his intention to move, that the report of this Committee thould be printed. At all events no Bill would be brought in on this fubj ea before the Eager recels. The Right Hon. Gentleman then Rated, fhortly, the grounds of the propofition he meant to fubmit. In reference to the Aft of 1786, he Paid it was pro vided by that Ad, that as loon as the Turn in the hands of the Commiffioners fhould amount to 4,000,0001. the inter& fhould be at the difpofal of Parliament, to be applied to the redudion of taxes—now the (Ned of his meaftire would be to take away that difcretion, and that this 4,c00,0001. and the interell, fhould go on accumulating with compound intereh, to be applied to the reduftion of the National Debt. The soo,oool. Short An nuities, alluded to by the Honourable Gentleman, which were to fall in in 1808, which however would be fubjeft to a charge of between forty and fifty thoufand pounds to pay the intereft of the deferred Rock created by the lalt loan, he meant to leave available for the redudion of the Taxes. • With refped to the At of 1792, by which a Fund was created of one per cent. from each Loan, and by which it was provided, that if the produce of this one per cent. fhould exceed a certain fum, to be applied to the extinction of the debt of each ' year, the furplus fhould be at the difpofal of Par
