It will be seen from Mr. BecuuttAxe& speech in the Commons last night, that he considers the al :rations made upon his Bill as intended completely to frustrate its whole object and defeat its operation. He ought, he said, to have known long ago the ob je:tions Which had been urged by a high legal cha. rater in another quarter, as he had arranged every pant of the Bill under the eye of the very persons v : r . o now started the objections and threw the difficul ties in the way. He complained that the person to whom he principally alluded had said that " the Bill was so altered that he should not have known it," whereas, in fact, the alterations had ken made by thet Noble Person himself ; —the Bill, he said, had been scribbled all over with those alterations, by that Noble Po cox himself, who now complained of those very al te, ctions —He believed it, he said, to be impossible to settle the eternal doubts of that Noble Person ; and therefore, should the Bill come back to them emascu lated and deprived of all its efficacy, he would feel limself under the necessity of proposing a new mea :ire—intimating, that the House could, by Corn natee, though not pet haps so cheaply, do that which was intended to be effected by the Bill, and which was so anxiously looked for by every parish in the kingdom. . . It is undeniable that the poor are robbed every where, and the middling classes pay for it. That captious cavilers and jobbers should deprecate in sairy, and endeavour to frustrate any attempt to remedy the existing evils is natural enough ; but what interest can the LORD Cil A NCELLOR, Lord RE- D/U.ILE, or any of the Bishops have in perpetuating rich abuses ? and, if it could be shewn that they have as interest in their perpetuity, who would venture to r:epect even the possibility of such an interest having any effect upon their judgment? The evils, how ever, are admitted to exist—their existence is a proof that oar laws afford no proper remedy for them, or the remedy would be sought : that is, we are in such ci:cumstances that the existing remedy is worse than the disease itself, and yet, forsooth, the country is to rest satisfied. Those who say so must be either blind w infituated. The country demands and will have, I remedy. • 'The British Public are more seriously affected by toe disgraceful prescription of the Jewish Merchants at Leipsic, of which we took notice yesterday, than may to many at first sight appear. The fact is, that thoagh it hears ostensibly the mere appearance of an intolerant persecution, from religious motives, of an industrious race of people, its real aim is levelled not so much against tic. Jewish trader, as, through him, itgainst the British Merchant and Manufacturer. lt is nothing more, in short, than the old outcry against , d.e pretended monopoly of British dealers in the markets of the Cu itinent developing itself in a new tad more obnoxious shape. It is England—it is English manufactures, which are the real objects of tin jealousy and persecution ; the Jews are sufferers, act on their ohm account, but ours. This statement requires a little explanation. In the account which we lately gave of the Leipsic fair, extracted from the German Papers, it was remarked that "the English threw away their goods at very kw prices; and that as the number of Jewish sellers eacreases every year, it is not to be wondered at that the Gomm manufactures did not meet with much demand." The meaning of this, in plainer terms, is, Eat as the Jewish sellers, with a proper enough spirit titrade, constantly prefer dealing in those articles which they arc surest of selling—as they have been long in the practice of bringing English manufac tres into the market, in preference to German, be ease they find they uniformly sell better—as they in fact the Continental Factors for the English tchants--and as they ate every year encreasing b limber, and the sale of English manufactures ing in proportion, the manufactures of Ger iny can never gain that ascendancy in the market aich it is natural enough for Germans to desire, u long as there are traders who act upon such 11r principles of profit and loss. The idle taun t " throwing away our goods" has been too often ltleated and laughed at to deceive any one with upect to its real meaning. The English mer * like all merchants, is too necessarily guided hl m attenden to his own interest, to continue 'Mr after year selling his manufactures to the Ger- Ina:4 at a losing price. He mart have been uni !6''lll selling at a gai n i ng an d encourag i ng pr i ce , Se would long ere this have been forced to retire the mzrket.; and that this is the real state of the • is sufficiently proved by the returns to Parlia tm; for last year, which shew that the sale of our kLfactiares abroad has been every where extend-. '3. The preference which the English goods con '24llr obtain at the Leipsic fairs is the only true of this Ihnemity of the* away, as it is termed ; and this again is tihdoubtedlY Oceafioned by their absolute superiority over all others brought into the market, a superiority which liecures them the prefe rence of the Jewish . actor, and stimulates him to exert himself in their disposal. The offence of the Jewish traders of Le ipsic then is this and no more—that they prefer dealing in those articles which will bring them the most profit—in English manufactures because they are better and cheaper than those of Germany. It is for this they are proscribed—for this they are to be driven from the Exchange of Leipsic, and should the persecuting spirit of their mercantile rivals be tolerated by the Government; of Germany—from every Exchange where mere German interests and feelings may be suffered to predominate at the expense of all the most ordinary principles of commercial and national prosperity. Every State of Europe which has any regard for a character of liberality in its interna tional policy, is strongly called upon to interpose its influence against such gross and narrowminded in justice, and it is more especially incumbent on Eng land to use every effcrt in her power to prevent any of the natural channels of her prosperity from being thus cut off, or interrupted, under the pre text of a sectarian persecution, which seeks in the rancorous bigotry of times that are past, a cloak for the more odious and contemptible money-getting spit it of the present. xi:Tact ever my erect t ever, re ad that oar lay the remedy ci:cumstaxic the disease rest satisfiei inatuati t rentedy. • 'The Eri e disgra . at Leipsic may to en ▪ thosgli it i.uolerant iLdustriott ✓ so much a :.g4inst chi is nothing the prtter markets ia! =I more English It this jealou act on the • This sta iv the accoul extracted • that thi kw price a Ts encreases in the Gen • c:emand: Pe 1:.1 as tt 111 a trade, bk which th v▪ et long i n IZAS int [ CIS cause th • are in f: I , l▪ 1A • in Imml 'tic• eacreasii many a .%ca 1,7 whkh b long tlr Wc t a rn; of a nltated '"cett al A arlt, I len zfc, tAu miti s fo rra l yi thew, 8, t *lb Lill ar. aq is of • WC? )11 kjal MO" T ''rally rot. LAX L:zst THE Q UEEN. Her MAJESTY, we are happy to state, is now in such a state of convalescence, that it is no longer considered neceaary to continue the daily Bulletins of her health. Yesterday the Duke of CAMBRIDGE visted the QUEEN. His Royal Highness had also a long inter view with the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton House. Wednesday evening his Royal Highness honoured the Concert of Ancient Music, in Hanover-square, with his presence. Wednesday evening the Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER honoured Covent Garden Theatre with their presence. The Archbishop of YORK came to town yesterday from Windsor, from attending the KING, as one of the QUEEN'S Council. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY entertained a se lect party of distinction yesterday at Lambeth Palace. Lady LIDDLL'S concert, yesterday evening, in Port land-place, was attended by a very elegant assemblage of distinguished fashionable;. Mr. PROTIJEROE, the present Member for Bristol, having given offence to his constituents by some of his votes in Parliament, Colonel Huou BAILL11; has been invited to succeed him, and Mr. P. has given notice of his intention to resign. Sir littiny Hoenousr, who has been a Member of the House of Commons upwards of 20 years, retires through ill-health. Dr. EDWARD JENNZR, to whom the world is in debted for the discover 7 of Vaccination, is not the Gentleman alltided to in a late Law Report, but a very different person, whose name is IhsnY. The following is a copy of a letter from the Em peror of RUSSIA to Field Marshal the Duke of WEL- LmoroN, dated Warsaw, March 20, 1818: "My Lord Marshal—l have been informed that an attempt has threatened your life. llravvi did not allow it to succeed, and lam exceedingly rejoiced thereat. Your military glory, joined to your elevated views .nd character, have associated you so closely with the maintenance of the general welfare, that it cannot but suffer front any circumstance that would tend to alie nate you from it. This is a testimony which I feel pleasure in bearing towards you, and which is independent of those claims l which you have to my personal regard. A coincidence which the generosity of your sentiments will not fail to appreciate, is, that by the authority with which you have been invested by the confidence of the Allies, you have-exercised, and you will con tinue to exercise, a salutary Influence in the country, and in the very spot, where malice has directed its impotent efforts against you.—Receive, my Lord, the renewed assurance of my high esteem. (Signed) " ALI:SAND/R." CAMBACERES, it is reported, has obtained leave to return to France; and Marshal MAcooNALD has been authorized by the KING, to restore to him his insignia of the Legion of Honour. The Bill to afford relief to the bona fide holders of negotiable securities, without notice that they were given for a usurious consideration, er.acts, That no Bill of Exchange or Promissory Note, that shall be drawn or made, shall, though it may have iren given for a usurious consideration, or upon a usurious contract, be void in the hands of an indorsee for valuable consideration, unless such indorsee had, at the time of discounting or paying such consideration for the same, notice that such bill of exchange or pro missory note had been originally given kr a usurious consideration, or upon a usurious contract. The Bill for amending the Regency Act with re spect to the custody of his MAJESTY'S person. has been printed. After providing for the increase of her Majesty's Council, in the way already known, it proceeds to enact, that in case Parliament shall be separated, at the period of the QUEEN'S demise, a proclamation is to be forthwith issued calling it to gether within sixty days. If there should be no Parliament, at the occurrence of such event, and in case it should happen before the day of meeting ap pointed by writ of summons, a proclamation shall be issued for the meeting either on the day appoint ed, or within sixty days. If the event shall happen on or after the day appointed by such writ, then a proclamation is to be issued in like manner for the Parliament to meet within sixty days. The last clause enacts, that nothing in the present Bill is to affect the provisions of any other Act providing for the meeting of Parliament. The Judges met yesterday morning in the King's Bench Treasury Chamber, and chose their respective Summer Circuits as follows: Hone—Lord Uenborough and Mr. Justice Abbott, Nearctic—Lord Chief Justice Gibbs and Mr. Baron Graham. Muit.axo—Lord Chief Baron and Mr. Justice 'Dallas. • N N—Mr. Baron Wood and Mr. Justice Bayley. Witsrma—Mr. Justice Parke and Mr. Justice Borrougli.

The 4th Dragoons are to replace the 20th Light Dragoons in Limerick. The 12th Foot, from Athlone, and 96th, from Castlebar, are to do duty in Limerick. The 68th Regiment has embarked at the Cove of Cork for North America. _ _ Two thousand infantry are shortly to leave Ireland for the East Indies. Thursday sennight, Major-General O'Lociii.tx arrived at Ennis, and inspected that part of the 99d Highlanders under the command of Captain Ett.is, and the detachment of the 20th Dragoons, under Lieutenant Coon?. The troops appeared in a high state of military order, and received the thanks of the General, previous to his return to Limerick. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EPSOM RACES, Tattasnar, M.& 49. • Yesterday the !oven of borse-raehtg had a great treat at *wan Downs. At a very early hour the road front London to Epsom . . . . - , was crowded with , vehicles and horses of all sizes and deicrip-* dons, and at one time the road was actually blocked up. It is no exaggeration to state, that the vehicles placed in rotation, would have reached from Westminster-bridge to the Course.— Never, we believe, was there known to be so large an assem blage of people at these Races. Not only the course was lined with carriages three or four deep, but the surrounding hills were completely covered. At about one o'clock the Prince of Hesss. Houeouac arrived on the Downs in a landau, accompanied by two Gentlemen; the carriage was driven intt the place assigned for the Royal Family, close to the winning-post. At about half past one o'clock the Duke of Yoxe and the Duke of Gi.oec carts appeared on the race-course, mounted on horseback, and re mained nearly the whole day on the Downs. Their Royal High nesses appeared to be highly pleased with the sport. Shortly after two o'clock the first race commenced; it was for the Derby Stakes, and excited much interest. Three horses only were placed,but 16 started. This is the second year of the Derby Stakes of 50 Guineas each, b. ft. for three-year old colts 84t. fib. fillies Bst:2H). The distance ran was a mile and a half. The owner of the 2d horse to receive 100 guineas. Mr. Thornhill's Sam, by Scud (rode by Chlffuey) - I Lord Darlington's colt, by Sorcerer - - - s Sir .1. Shelly's Prince Paul —This was an admirable race, and the Stakes were won only by a length by Sam. The bets were-2 to 1 agst Paul ;3to 1 agst Sem ; 6 to 1 agst Seymour; 9 to 1 agst Slim; 14 to 1 agst Dictator : 14 to 1 agst 31zonides; 100 to 3 agst Lord Darling ton; 100 to 4 agst Fitzcloddy. Guy Mannering broke down in running. Paul made play from starting and icd, and was a-head after leading safe round Tattenhant-corner, and he was then backed at odds to win. He was beat at the distance post, and Chiffney 'hewed a master-piece of jockey ship. As soon u this race was decided, the Prince of Hessa-lfom- BOURO retired from the Downi. There were, however, two minor races, which were the following : A Sweepstakes of tOgs. each, with togs. added from the Race Fund, the winner to be sold for 400 gs. if demanded. Mr. Shcward's 13-a nodes, aged - - Mr. Fzge's Young Elizabeth litr J. lioneywootrs Biuleycorn 3 . t0 1 apt the ;firmer offered : WWI easy. A Plated SO/. for all Ages : two mile heats. This was a grand race between Mr. Crockford's Merrymaker and Mr. liars King of Diamonds. There were two heats, and Merrymaker won both by a length. The whole of the rasing was not over until six o'clock, and the people did not disperse till past seven o'clock. The pick pockets seemed to be peculiarly active. There were several ac cidents, as usual, on the ,road, many gigs and coaches were broken down, many horses were seen galloping at full speed without their riders, but no material injury was done. COVENT GARDEN THEATRE.—The Melo-drama founded on the horrible murder of Funxess, was repeated last night. It was less favourably received than on the first representation. Rob Roy, which I preceded this exhibition, went off, as usual, with eclat. ON THURSDAY NEXT—Twenty Capitals (at least 100(1. each) in the first half hour. Scheme contains THREE of 90,000/. with 104 other Capitals of 30001. £OOOl. &c. although there are 4000 Tickets less than last Lottery.—Tickets and Shares are on Sale at Buth of WEBB'S Offices, 9, Cornhill, and 17, Ludgate street, where four Capitals were Shared last Lottery, and Three 30,0001. Prizes in 13 Months. CURIOUS CIRCNISTANCISIn the early past of 1817, the Beaconsfield and London carrier had a small parcel delivered to him to convey to town, which, by some means he never could surmise, he lost on the road out of his pocket. Nothing was ever heard of the parcel until a few days ago, when a car penter repairing Hall Barn, the seat of the Rev. H, WALLIM, near Beaconsfield, accidentally found the lest parcel is perfect preservation in a jocktianis 'lest! • Jill-AYR. 0 - • • _. fy DAt. MAILS •11.11.

As there are more Capitals this Lottery than last, he Will no doubt outdo " all his,/ rmer outdoing:." As a proof of the forwardness and uncommon warmth of the season at this period, two hives of bees, on the farm of Sandilandgate, on the estate of Milton, in the parish of Carluke, S cotland, swarmed on Saturday last, the 23d instant, a circumstance very uncommon so early in. the season, as bees cel cioni swarm is ordinary goad seasons till towards the end of June. CORN-EXCIIAKCF, MARK-LANE, MAY 29.—The continuance of fine weather, together with a further supply of foreign wheat in the course of the week, and but few buyers at market this mousing, has caused a total stagnation in the sale of all kinds of grain ; indeed, so much so, that scarcely a single bargain has been done, and our prices must be quoted nominally as on Monday. PRICY OF BREAD.Yesterday a Court of Common Council, which was very numerously attended, was held at Guildhall. Afar-the. usual business was dis posed of, Mr. Duos; said, he had a question of the greatest importance to the community to put to the Lord Mayor. He wished to know whether the Pub lic had benefited by the change that had been made with respect to the regulations relative to Bread ? It had been stated in the newspapers, and by 'Several respectable corn-dealers with whom he had had com munications, that there was a constant regular fall of the material weekly. It might therefore be presumed that the Public would feel the effects of that decrease in the price. His object was not to entrap by th us suddenly putting a question of such importance, en the contrary, he should rather have an answer pro duced from a consultation with the Aldermen, if his Lordship thought it necessary to refer the qucs•ion to the Court.—The Loan MAYOR said that the question certainly required the deliberation suggested.
