NITRIC FUMIGATION. Mr. WiLnERFORCI Paid, he rofe for the pur port• of difcharging a debt of juffice, in moving an Addrcfs to his Majelly on the Petition of Dr. Gt miciiael Smyth. It would be remembered, the, many weeks lime a Petition had been pre -I:nted by Dr. Cat michad Smyth, refpelling Nitric Fumigation, for preventing the communication of contagion. That Petition was referred to a Committee, who, after a long and laborious in veitigaiitu, of the fisbjeCt, had prtfcnted a Report, which had been loose time on the table, and which, togethti• w ith the Appendix, would, he had no doubt, have the cffeti of convincing the gi eater part of that Houfe of the juaice of Dr. Smyth's claim to a remuneration for his exertions. The efficacy of the invention had been fully aril,. lilhed : of its importance there could be no doubt, whilit Dr. Smyth bad a jolt claim to originality hi the invention, which was the refult of much laborious Rudy. Dr. Smyth had given it to the public, of whom he was juilly entitled to claim a remuneration, fincc it was a difcovery for the be nefit of the public, and the Inventor could have no capenation of reward from individuals. The Appendix to the Report fufficiently pointed out the benefits which had refultcd from this difcovery, in picventing the communication of contagion ; and not only that, but it Wined the ill effeCts of contagious difeafes in the individual aCtually affliCt. ed by thole difeafcs. Ile had underflood that it was neceffiry to infert a fpccific font in the addrefs, in doing which he experienced fome difficulty. If he had inferted a turn proportioned to the merits of the individual, it would have appeared much too large: he thought, however, that a moderate fum might he mentioned, which, whiff} it ferved as f ire remuneration to Dr. Smyth, it would at the rime time more effeCtually operate to Ramp the difcovery with the imprellion of public utility, and would be confidered as a tellimony of the ap probation of that Houle as to the merits of the invention. He had, therefore, inferted the fum of 50 - )01. which lie thought was fo moderate, that there could be no objeEtion to it. He concluded by moving, ‘. That an humble Addrefs fhould be prefenzed to hisMajelty, praying that he would be gracionily pleated to give directions that a fum not exceeding 50001. Ihould be advanced to Dr. James Carmichael Smyth, and that the Houfe would make good the fame." . . Mr. Ea SIC*I74 c feconded the Motion. He couli hatdly conceive, he laid, a greater body of evi. dcnce to etablith any fait than that by which the benefit ref - idling from the difcovery of Dr. Smyth had ~cut proved. Mr. Davto Scorr obferved that the Nitric Fu. triz.ition had been tried in the Ead India Service, an] load admirably fucceeded in preventing the enaununication of contagion. There was even lo ne reafon to believe that it might be effectually itl.:d in preventing the communication of the PI igue. Lord Ott SPi ft ' , tit:, Mr. COURT!. VAY, General L•tries, and Sit ANDREW SNAPE HAMMOSD, all fp t::e ;n favour of the difcovery. Till: CH ANCLLIMIt of th ICHECIIJER Paid, he thought it his duty to ex. i nc with the utmod l e( caution, the applications ade to that Houfe for putlic mr.n4 The body of evidence, however, which was contained in the Report on the Peti tion of Dr. :,myth, was fully folflicient to induce hint to confent to the prefent Motion, as he thought nothing wa, ever more indifputably made out than the efficacy and importance of this difcovery, and alfi the exclutive claim of Dr. Carmichael Smyth to the merit of the difcovery. He was convinced that in contenting to the prefent Motion, which would (lamp the difcovery with pubiic approba tion, he was doing jullice to the individual, and performing an act of real benevolence, not only to t his country, but to the whole Univerfe. Colonel Wools hoped the Right Hon. Gentle man (the Chancellor of tie Exchequer) would have no objection to allowin; Dr. Smyth his ex pnces. The CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEVER Lid, it would be invidious to make any di:lindion be tween this cafe and others which had preceded it, but it would he for the wifdom of the Houle to confider of any method of exonerating the indi viduals to whom their remunerations were given, from the expences attendant upon fuch votes,which confilled of fees fairly and juflly due to fevcral Officers, under the fandion of Parliament. The, Motion was then put and carried sem. con. Adjourned. LONDON. FRIDAY, JUNE as. PRICE OF STOCKS THIS DAN AT ONE O'CLOCK' Confols, fur Jul; 7 5 41 -- Reduced 74/---4 per Cent 85,13 —News per Cenrao4l-- Onudiun prem. This morning we received French Journals of the 21ft. The price of grain in fome parts of France has begun to fall, and the crop in the neighbourhood of Paris has a promifing appear ance. Nothing further is Paid refpeling the elec tion of the FIRST CONSUL for life. For other particulars we refer to the following Extrads JUNE 21.—Letters from Havre mention the arrival there of the American 114 China, of 1200 tons, from Batavia, with a cargo valued at two millions (80,0001. &ding). As this veffel draws a t French feet, the cannot enter the harbour in its prefent Qate, and therefore has been obliged to anchor in the road: the belongs to an individual of the United States. We learn from Nancy, that three perfons at cached to the houfehold eftabliihment of the FIRST CONSUL, and who precede Madam BONAPARTE Come days, paired through that city on their way to Plombiers. The appearance of the wheat in the neighbour. hood of Paris is exceedingly promifing. Wheat of the belt quality fell eight franks per f:ticr in the market of Meurah on the 13th inf.— Grain of an inferior quality has fallen in proportion. VIENNA, JU N E 6.—Aufirian Poland, it is Paid, will be ced4l to a Prince of the Empire ; and Pruf (la will obtain an indemnity in Germany—but this intelligence is not certain. We hear alto of a jour ney of the Royal Family of Etruria to Barcelona. Some carriages belonging to the Queen of Naples fet out a few days ago for Italy, which gives rea fon to think that this Prince(' expects to be able to undertake her journey before the 18th of this month. An Englifh Officer has arrived here from Conftaniinople, with fix beautiful Arabian horfes, defined for the Prince of Watts. A courier alto arrived a few days ago from the Englifh Ambaf &dor in that city. The mon difagreeable news were publifhed here refpeaing 1 3 /ASWAN 00 Lou. This famous rebel, it was Paid, had defeated the Hofpodar of Wallachia, and penetrated into that province, where he got immenfe booty. We now learn that this intelligence arofe from an incurfion made into Wallachia by 800 Brigands, who occa fioned much devallation. The Hofpodar ed 3000 men, confining of troops and armed pea (ants, to attack them. Thefe troops loft in the af fair 46 men, and the brigands 60. We are now affured that they are completely furrounded, and that troops are advancing on all fides to annihi. late them. STUTTGARD, JUNE I learn from Crems- Munfter, that in confequence of an Imperil refo lution, all the Convents fupprefred by the Emperor JOSEPH IL are to be re-eftablithed, and put in pof felon of their property. The members of thefe convents fill alive will return to their cells and re ceive novices : if any of the conventual property has been fold to individuals the monks are au thorized to negotiate with the purchafers for the recovery of it. The latter, however, have it in their option' to keep it. Pilgrimages are alto again permitted. PRAGUE, Pas 7.—According to letters from European Turkey a great power his fent an agent to Widdin, to engage Passwew 9Grou to fettle his differences with the Porte, and to offer its me. diation with the Pacha in cafe he be difpofed to an arrangement. This agent has already had a conference with PesswaN Oct.ou, but the refult has not tranfpired ; we know only that after this interview two Couriers were difpached, one for Constantinople, and the other for the mediating court. NAPLES, MAY A.—Three Ruffian veflels are now in our harbour. They are making prepara tions to transport to Corfu the 3500 Ruffians Rill remaining here. When thefe troops fail we null have no more foreign troops left. The King will return from Palermo to this capital. GENOA, JUNE r.—We have reafon to hope that our Republic will loon have a definitive Conflitu tion, and that the new Doge will be M. Ca TANao, a Genoefe Ex-Nobleman. Baron de ToMM•at, who, it is faid,las been appointed Grand Mailer of Malta, was born in Sicily, and is dcfcended f l om an ancient family of that kingdom. The expedition againft the famous rubber, who ravages our neighbourhood, has not fuccecded. The corps ditpatched in purfuit of hitn fell in with him near the Bochetta, where he had difpofed his troop in fuch a manner, that it was not thought prudent to attack him in fo ltrong a potation. Since that time he has fallen back towards the mountains of Etruria. The people of Genoa feem, therefore, to have been too premature in deliberat ing on the kind of death to which this Devil was to have been fubjeaed, wben they had carried him hither in triumph. It would thew more wifdorn if they would firs devife the means of getting him into their power. The Royal Charlotte and Princefs Aug&la yachts having undergone a thorough repair, and brilliant decoration, at Deptford, are ordered im mediately round to Weymouth, to attend upon their MAJESTIES. The former is commanded by Capt. Sir H. BURRAID NEALE, and the latter by Capt. GREY. We underftand that it is finally fettled that his MAJESTY is to come down and prorogue Parlia ment on Monday, and the Proclamation difl - olving it, and Rating that he has direfted writs to be iffued for calling a new one, will be publiihed the follow ing day. It is Paid to be the opinion of the LORD CHANCELLOR, that the writs ought not to be if till the day after the Proclamation. They will not, therefore, be iffued till Wednefday morning. It is proper, however, to mention, for the infor mation of thofe interefled, that Wednefday morn ing will commence asfoon as twelve o'clock ilrikes, and the writs will be iffued. Parties, therefore, will be upon their guard. Candidates know the importance of thefe matters. The next Parliament, it is fuppofed, will con tain a greater portion of the mercantile intereft than any former one. A vail number of mer chants in the City are determined to (hare their purfe with the borough mongers for the honour and advantage of a feat in Parliament. Sir THOMAS OSBORNE, in an addrefs to the Eleltors of the County of Waterford, recommends two Englifhmen as their Reprefcntatives, in pre- ference to native:. Mr. Join( Dasnison, candidate for Colchefler, has met with a molt flattering reception on his arrival there ; having been met, previous to his reaching the town, by a large body of the molt refpeehible Inhabitants and Freemen—his horfes taken from his carriage, and drawn into the town by the populace, preceded by a band of mufic. A memorial has jun been prefented to the CHANCILLOR of the EiCHECUJER from the Brewers of Dorfetthire, againft fome recent Legiflative provifiwrs relative to the procefs of Brewing. By the new Medicine MI, which commences on the ir R of September, the following articles will be liable to a stamp duty t Arquebnfade Water, Indian Arrow Root, Spani& juice, Turkey Rkubarb, Candied Horehound, Candied Ginger, Blif teeng Ointment, Healing Salve, Goulard's Extradt, Eau de Lute, Refined Liquorice, Syrup of Tofu, &e. Lord LONGFORD left town on Sunday lan for Paris. The Earl of ATHLONE and his fon embarked on Wednefday, at Harwich, for Holland. The Duke of Rox BURGH left Town this day for Scotland. Yefterday the Duke and Dnchefs of RUTLAND left Town for Belvoir Cattle. Lady CLERICE, Colonel OARFS, Captains WED• LEY and FAY ERMAN, are among the laft falhion able arrivals at Bath. Mr. jacusou, who was at Paris, is appointed to the Embaify at Berlin. Mr. Fa It a, it is thought will be fait from Li (bon to the Court of Madrid. But neither the Spanifh nor Batavian Governments have yet nominated to their Emballles to Great- Britain. . Betides Mr. TALBOT, who goes as Secretary of Legation, Lord WHITWORTH takes with him to Paris the Hon. Mr. PIE Riertottrr, as Private Se cretary. M. DE CRLOSIN E has been received with unufual refpeet by the French Government, and dines al moll daily with M. De TALLSYRAND. It is raid he is likely to recover almoa all his funded property in France. A detachment of the Second Regiment of Foot Guards marched yeilerday into the Tower, on garrifon duty, to relieve the Royal Invalids, who are difbandtd in confequence of the Peace. About goo German foldiers are now on the Ifle of Wight, waiting for embarkation, to join the different battalions of the both regiment. One troop of the ifith Regiment of Cavalry marched from Brighton on Monday, for Eaft bourne. A detachment of the toth, to fupply their place, is therefore daily expo Led. The Refo'talon of the Meeting at Glafgow, to ere& a Statue to Mr. PITT, before his death, thews that there is fife in the Subfiription. The report of Dr. PARR having received a pa. salytic ftroke, which we copied from the other papers, is quite unfounded. That gentleman never was in better health, and is now on a vifit to a late pupil in Oxfordthire. How extremely painful it is to behold thofe ex cellent produitions of Statuary in Wellminner- Abbey veiled with dirt. Every lover of that noble art mutt regret when he fees fuch a flume ful negligence (hewn to the different produ&ions in this grand Repofitory ; more particularly fo when his labouring eye is fearching through that cloud of dull which covers the works of our immortal ROUBILLIAC, for thole exquifite and unequalled touches in Anatomy he was matter of. According to recent letters from the Cape, Sir Recta CURTIS was much indifpored there. The (hips of war that were on that Ration are all or dered to Ceylon to carry the troops that have been in garrifou at the Cape. They amount to SOOO !UM CM' BUSINESS. Yeflerday being Midfiimmer Day, a Commo t , Hall was held at Guildhall, for the elthion o f Sheriffs, and other annual City Officers, for the year enfuing, which was attended by the LOKD MAYOR, and a great number of the Livery. A f . ter the nomination, as ufual, of the Aldermen wh o have not ferved the office, RICHARD WELCH, Er g . Citizen and Glover, and JAMES ALEXANDER, Ely. Citizen and Butcher, were nominated, and wei e declared to be duly elefted. The eleCtion of the two Bridge Mailers then took place, and there being a vacancy occationcd by the death of Mr. SPECK, two new Candidm es , Mars. MARRIOTT and YEOWARD, were put in no. mination with the prefent Bridge Matter, Mr. GA. Lamm. The (hew of hands for Mr. GALARDI was decidedly great, hut thole for Mr. Maaatorr and Mr. Ysowitao appeared fo nearly equal that the Sheriffs ordered a fecond (hew, when they declared the choice of the Livery to have fallen on Mr. Maatioxr. A Poll was, however, demanded by the friends of Mr. YEOWARD, and Mr. Gxcasie not having been feparately defied, as it is fuggeft. ed he ought to have been, the Law Officers w ere of opinion that he mutt alto fluid a Poll, which was iicccordin:tly agreed to, and when the Hall broke up, the Poll commenced, and the numbers on its conclufion, flood as follows—Galabin 186-- Marriott 129—Yeoward 117. The Poll re-com menced this morning at nine o'clock. Mr.TRAYEES then addreffed the Hall,and Rated that the Lord Mayor had contented to Common a Common Hall early in the next week, to receive the Report of the Committee appointed at a for. mer Common Hall to endeavour to obtain a repeal of the Tax upon Income. Mr. T. Rated that at this Hall a propofition was intended to be made of a declaration of what qualifications are necef fary for a Candidate to ferve the City of London in Parliament. The Chamberlain, and other City Officers, were elected without oppo fi t i on. _ _ The City Au . iiitors prefented their Report on the City Accounts, which was ordered to be print. ed ; and at half pall three o'clock the Lord Mayor and Aldermen left the Hall. Yefterday afternoon Mr. PENN gave a grand Breaifel at his Seat of Stoke Park, near Windfor. Mifs Tx itALE's Rout laft night was very nume rously attended, and the entertainment given was of the molt fuperb defcription.

A curious bet was made laft week, that Lord CRANLEY could drive a phaeton and four into a certain fpecified narrow Flange, turn about, and return out of it, without accident to man, boric, or carriage. We underhand that the Phaetanic feat was performed with dexterity and fuccefs, and that his Lordfhip was completely triumphant.
