PARLIAIWEN3'ART PROCEEDIyGS. in itself, as it would evince a conciliating disposition from which he augured the most favourable result. What, however, he had to press upon their particular consideration was, the discordancy between this Bill and the Bill now before the other House, for giving effect to the Orders in Council. The 37th of the King, which this Bill professed to continue, would be violated most materially by the new imposts pro posed. There was, in violation of the Treaty, to be imposed ah addition of 24 per cent. on tobacco, and about 40 per cent. on rice exported. Wine, brandy, &c. exported to America, would also be liable to a heavy duty, though by the Treaty she was to enjoy the same exemptions as our own Colonies. The duty of 2s. per ton on vessels brought in under the Orders in Council, and the compelling American ve s sels bound from Europe to the East-Indies to go into the East-India Dock, weft also at variance with the sti pulations of the Treaty, and of course with the pro visions of the present Bill. The whole of the in tention of Government on this subject seemed to be still involved in mystery, and he could not but regret that his motion for taking it into consideration in a Committee had not been agreed to. Lord fla I'IIURST stated; that there would be found no inconsistency in the proceedings alluded to. The American Intercourse Act, passed last Session, would expire on the Ist of March. The Bill now before their Lordships did no more, in effect, than to prevent that Act from expiring before the other measures in their progress in the other House had re ceived the sanction of the Legislature ; and as it contained clause admitting of alteration, amend ment, or repeal, in the present Session, the difficulties stated by the Noble Lerd would be easily removed. With regard to the merits of the Bills in the other House, it would be time enough to discuss them when they were regularly before their Lordships. The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed to-morrow.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Colonel STANLEY presented a Petition for Peace from Old ham in Lancashire.—Ordered to lie on the Table. Mr. WHITBREAD observed, that a Resolution had been pas sed the other night, upon which a Bill was to be founded, to pre vent the exportation of Peruvian Bark. If he had been in the House at the time he should have resisted the passing of that Re solution. He now begged the Right Honourable Gentleman op. posite (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) to inform him when the Bill was likely to be introduced ; at the same time he thought it right to state, that he should most decidedly oppose a measure which went to carry into effect that most detestable species of warfare. The CHANCEL LOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the Bill would most probably be introduced - to-morrow (this day.) Mr. MADDOCKS moved for an Account of the Rate and Amount of all Duties paid en Coal and Cubs respect:rely, carried Coastwise into any part of Gr-at Britain, other than the port of London, dis:inguishing the paces where imported in the year 1807.

Upon the motion of 2e r. FOSTER it was ordered, that the Irish Small Notes and the Irish Bank Tokens Act be entered as read. The Right Honourable Gentleman then obtained leave to bring in a Bill to amend the said acts. Mr: HUSKISSON, in like manner, obtained leave to bring in a Bill to Amend the.lrish and English Spirits Traci, Art.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. • KENSINGTON PALACE, FEBRUARY 24, ISM Lieutenant-Colonel VESEY is commanded by his Royal Highness the Duke of KENT, to request the in sertion of the following paragraph in your Paper of this evening : Although the Duke of Kier flatters himself that those Officers of the British Army, with whom he has had the good fortune of serving :if the Mediterranean, America, and the West Indies, will do him the jus tice to believe, that his absence from Gibraltar, at this time, when that fortress is menaced with a formidalle attack by the enemy, is not owing to any backwardness on his part to repair to that station to which his duty calls him, or for want of his using his utmost ever, tions to be followed to resume the actual command of his Government, he feels that he owes it to, his own character, no less as a may than as a Soldier,- to make known to slum, to the whole Army, an to his Countrymen in general, the terms on-which he felt it his duty to address his Majesty upon► this subject, immediately upon the arrival of the last accounts from Gibraltar; and trusts that, 'w4et, these have been perused, he shall stand acquitted, in the opinion of his brother Officers, of the Army, and of his Countrymen, of having been deficient in hi* duty.

(COPY) TO THE MSG, " SIR, " The Letters received by the Mail, just arrived from the Mediterranean, having brought the certain information, that orders had reached EYlgeziras from Madrid, immediately to make such preparations in the neighbourhood of Gibraltar, as put beyond doubt the intention of the enemy to besiege it. I could not, under ruck circumstance:, reconcile it to my feelings,' were I to delay a moment, in not only assuring your Majesty of my readiness instantly to go out thert, but in earnestly soliciting your sanction for my resuming the duties attached to the commission I have the honour of holding, as Govaraor of that fortress. " To your Majesty, who yourself possess so nice a sense of honour, it is quite unnecessary for me to re present, that, on the result of Your decision upon this request, which I beg leave in the most dutiful, yet in the strongest manner, to press upon your attention, every tiling most dear to me in life ; I mean my cha racter as a Man, and my professional credit as a Solar are at stake. I will not, therefore, presume to say more, than that I place these in your Majesty'* bands, with no less confidence in your justice as my Sovcreign than in your indulgence as my Parent. " With every sentiment of the most devoted at tachment, aced the most dutiful respect, 1 have the honour to subscribe myself, Your Majesty's Must affectionate Son, And most faithful Servant, and Subject, (Signed) EDirARD." The Duke of KENT conceives that it would be su perfluous to add any observation on the foregoing lines, except that he it not going out to Gibraltar, that being a sufficient explanation of the result of his application, and his sole motive in intruding the per• usal of.them upon the Public at this time, being that of clearing hit own character from the aspersion that must unavoidably- attach to it, in consequence of his absence from his Government, at tuck a moment as the present one, were it conceived to be voluntary on his part, or that he had been passive on the occa sion.
