refpea to the latter part of the motion, as it re• lated to the refumption of lands, it was a fubjea with which he was at prefcnt unacquainted. He had endeavoured to acquire, at the SLcretary of State's Office, all that could be collated of inform ation in that particular, but he inclined to think that at prefent no intelligence would be had th.:re upon that fubjed, previous to tilt Noble Lord who was now at the head of that Office receiving the charge of it ; but, every thing would be !lad from that quarter that could re a fiirl a bly b e e -.p e a z d, He thought it his ditty to fity this, becanCe he was' extremely defirous that tte Houle, in acquiefcing to filch a motion as that now before them, mould not entertain expe.ltations of information, which he was inclined to think could not be afforded. All that he could fay was, that if the Ijoufe fhnuld agree to the addrefs now propfed, t very thing that depended upon Government would he done to give i; full effeft ; but no inference was to he drawn from this acquiefcence, that the motion would be the means of proeui ing all the information which was expeaed. The motion b e ing [ n it , General GASCOYNE faid, there were tome obfer• vations made by the Right Hon. Gentleman who brought this matter forward, which required a word or two from him. The Right Hon. Gentle-I man had a(ked, whether, if the Slave Trade had not yet exilled, there was any Member of Parlia ment who would venture to recommend its infti tution ? Now, there certainly was fuch a Member of Parliament, and he was that perfon. He would fay, that if the Slave Trade had never exifted, viewing, as he did, the beneficial confequences of it to this country, and feeling his duty as a Mem ber of Parliament, defirous of increafing the wealth of this country, and particularly as the Reprefen• tative of a great commercial town—knowing the advantages of this trade, as he did—the Slave Trade ought to be commenced now, if it had never before been inftituted. The advantages of this trade were inamenle ; they were not locally confined to the Town he reprefented, but were ge- nerally diffufed over the whole of this Country.— Any man who confidered the advantages we de rived from the Weft India Iflands, would loon be convinced of this. As to that past of the Right Hon. Gentleman's fpeech, which glanced at the extenfion of the trade, and the reftrietion which he hinted it would be prudent to adopt as to the cul tivation of land in the Elands, there was much reafon to apprehend that his okra would not be attained,. even if this Country allowed no more cultivation of land by the Slave Trade in the Weft Indies ; for the Americans had taken it up, and had entered into contracts with the Spanixds for a vall ut;mber of Slaves. They would not cnnrine thr7rnfrlves to one Itlnnd, fo that nothing which the Right Hnn. Gentleman coold do, together with the efforts i a . the Hon. '.entlernan below hits, vho had dor., io much mifchief—[Here the Hon. was called to order from the Chair.] He fubmittrl to authority, but proceeded to argue againft the pile) , of indulging in Parliament any plan whatever for reflriefing any part of the Slave Trade, alledging that the teffriebons already im pofed. had been highly injurious to that traffic, arid fo far injurious to the trade and commerce of this country. He rcferved to himfelf the full right of fpcaking at large hereafter upon this fithjeft. Mr. WILI&RFORCE fupported the motion; ap proved of the fentiments expreffed by the Right Hon. Gentleman who made it, and anfwered the obfervations of the Hon. Member who had juft fat down—He was called to order by Sir W. Youwo, who apprehended that this was anticipating the difcuffion of the whole queftion about to be fubmitted to the Houfe. Mr. Wait; EILTORCC difelaimed all wifhes to anti cipate that queltion, and expreffed a readinefs to meet it fully when it flio;.ld come before the Houfe. The motion was then put and carried. COMMITTER OF SUPPLY. The CHANCELLOR of the Excaskosa moved the Order of the Day for the Houfe to refolve into a Committee of Supply, and that the Accounts of Corn Bounties prefinted to the Houfe, and the Papers prefented by the Chancellor of the Exche quer on the 24th of March, should be referred to the Paid Committee.—Ordered.—The Houfe be ing refolved into the Paid Committee, The CHANCELLOR of the Excused/la rote to fubmit a motion for certain grants, the nature of which he defcribed, expreffing his readinefs to give any explanation that might be demanded upon the feveral items. Upon the fubjea of the corn boun ties, the amount of which was certainly confide- Table, he relied that no objeaion could be offered, as that turn was advanced in purfuance of an Alt of Parliament, wifely framed at the time, and which had operated materially to alleviate the mOft fevere preffiire that perhaps ever affcaed the country. The recurrence of fuch a calamity, he hoped and milled the meafures whiqb were now taking to ameliorate the fyitem of our Corn Laws, would, under the bleLl;ng of PsoviDENCs, efeau ally prevent. It was his with, and no doubt the , with of every rational man in the empire, that our lands fhould be rende re d futheiently produElive to obviate the neceflity of refortirc.; to other nations for aid ; and he entertained the iirmell confidence that one part of the empire particularly was capa ble cif affording an ample fupply. As a Committee of the Houle was at prefent engaged in the in of this bufinefs, he looked forward to tile tefult of their deliberations for the moll im port..iit and beneficial arrangements. The Right i Hoe.

A plain brown coat, with embroidered gold but tons, the price of each button was a guinea ; the waißcoat was of fcarlet kerfeymere, covered with gold lace in Rripes, three inches deep, black filk breeches with gold garters, white filk Bookings, and filver buckles, bags and fwords.

A morning paper of this day fayF—" :inmc doubts having been : bred with refpetll to the day on which the Definitive 'Treaty of Peace was ed at Amiens, we have authority to Rate that do Copy whatever of the Treaty was figned by the refpative Plenipotentiaries of the ContraEling par- I ties until Saturday the 27th of March, at fr.: o'clock in the afternoon. The only way tf ac counting for the reprefentation in the French pa pers is, that late at night on the 25th, the Articles of the Definitive Treaty were finally adjulted ; and for the fatisfaaion of their ref - pc :live Govern. ments, the Plenipotentiaries of Great Britain and France figned a Minute, by which they bound themfelves to fign the Treaty as then agreed upon, as Ilion as a tranflation of the fame could be got ready, and the feveral copies prepared." Mr. Orro waited on Lord HAWKESBURY, on Wednefday, to claim the money belonging to the French Government, in the hands of Metfrs. BOURDITU and CHOLLST,* which was fcqueltered at an early period of the war. When the FIRST CONSUL received the Foreign Ambaffadors on the 28th ult. who came to con gratulate him on the Signature of the Definitive Treaty, he was efrelfd in the Cyhtme of a Coutyillor of S:ate, and not as ufual, in his General's Uniform. The Gazette& France very jullly remarks—" that lie chofe that monies' . . to (trip himfelf of all the attributes of a Warrior." This is, in itfelf, a trifling circumflanec, but loch trivial things often denote more important abfiraet feelings ; and we cannot avoid confidering it as evidence of real joy at the termination of War, and as evidence of a Sincere difpolition to remain in a (late of Peace. LUCIEN BONA PARTE has purchafed one of the fleet Hotels in Paris, the Hotel de Brienne, for .r.;o,000 livres ; he now reticles in it. A peculiarity of difpolition, added to an invari able dread of the (mall pox, occalioned etc late Lord MONTRATH to live abfolutely the life of a reclufe. He made his Will not many c.tys be fore he died. All his eftates in Ireland are left to his paternal Relative, his Heir at Law, and are entailed. Ali his Oates, real and perfonal, with a very trifling exception, in England, he has bequeathed in fee to his maternal relation, the prefent Lord BRADFORD, whole Father, with the late Lord BRADFORD, were Sons of Co-heireffes, the Daughters of the laft Earl of BRADFORD. By deed of gift in his life-time, he provided for fume whole kind attention had a claim upon his bounty. &fides legacies to all his fervants, be has provided by annuities fur thole who had lived long in hi , eftablifhment; and he has left fix thouland pounds for charitable purpofes. He had loch a terror of the fmall-pox, that he had relays of five houfes betweea his Seat in Norfolk and his Houle in De voulhire, to prevent the chance of infeaion ; and at there houfes fmall eflablifliments were kept, as he dared not fleep at an Inn. If we may judge from the fplendonr of the il luminations, the joy of the inhabitants of Portf mouth, on the Definitive Treaty being figned, cannot be exceeded ; and there was one inhiance of genuine fincerity, that is, in a publican on the Point, who ornamented his candles with black crepe! Yeflerday morning a 'duel was fought near the Gravel-pits, Kenfington, between Colobel M—, and Mr. W. N—, of the City, in confequence of an offence given to a Lady, on the evening of rWednefday, at PHILLIPS'S. The parties exchanged three !hots each, when the feconds interpoled, and reconciled the parties to their wonted ft iendfhip The !hots of Col. M— pallid through the coat of Mr. N—. On Thurfday fe'nnight, one of the Bow-greet Officers went to Liverpool, and apprehended two perfons, on their way to Ireland, whom he brought back with him to London, who hare long been fapetled of making and uttering counterfeit Bank of England Notes.
