I • ~,s as MOO iletielieti to: i t al tetAy Other part of die wg,iton. mt. Alderman ATKINS recommended to pourable Baronet to withdraw his Motion, and let the report remain in the hands of Gentlemen till next &wo n, when some effectual measure for proniriting t he a griculture of the country m ght be adopte I. Lord CASTLE REAGH did not see that °side men should, on account of the late period of the Ses -5; n, be discouraged from making some progre Si in t!iis business. In the present state of the market, he did not think the discussion c.n this subject could af fect the price of corn ; apd therefore he thought the s .,;.!ct ought to be entered into at once, even should pn Specific measure be adopted this Session. This was 0..1y calling on Parliament to act on its own princi ples. There was nothing so fatal to the agriculture an d manufaitures of the country, as the great fluctua tions of price which It was the object of this measure t o put a stop to. The political circumstances of Eu pe frequently caused au influx of corn, and at other times great scarcity. These "created great mis- Prtunes, and they ought to be avoided by some h %e d system, and an advanced scale of prices, in the necessity of which all concutied. He thought that they ought not to be dispirited from going into the Committee, as it might be done without occasioning an y p.,pulAr teeiiiut or prejudice on the subject. Sir JOHN NEWPORT thob;ht this the most ;toper time for discussing this 'object, because they meld nut know what might be the situation of things test year; and because in all matters relating to the sholute subsistence 01 the people, they were liable to itisrepresentation. He thOught. Juketer, that proper eacomagement should be given to the home growth of corn, and not allow a hollow friend or an inveterate enemy to profit by imports of corn into this country. Ile would, on these grounds, press that the House s: , ould grant a fair and adequate security to the home agriculturist, for, if they did not. the difference of tax a t ion would not allow him to meet the foreign agriculturist in the market. Lord A HAMILTON explained. Sir W. CURT'S thought there was nothing on the table to prove that the farmers were dissatisfied with the prices they have received tor the last ten or twt lye years. He therefore opposed going into the Committee. Mr. VANSITTART said, that he thought the more this subject was considered and discussed the les apprehension there would be of any popular feel lag or prejudice on this subject. We had been kept for years in a state of feverish anxiety on the subject, sometimes at high prices, and in the tear of higher still. It would, dlerefore, be most desirable that some £xed and steady determination should be come to on this subject. The great object was to procure a con stant : , a4:l regular supply ig corn, because that would be most likely to prevent any relaxation in the ar ticle of labour. Mr. HORNER believed, that the tillage of land, and the price of land, had never been in a more fliu fishing state than during the last few years. During that time also the supply of foreign corn might, and had been, interrupted by our enemy ;—yet it never was more abundant and certain. The danger, there fore, is nothing ; tor we could get foreign cotn when it may be wanted. He had no objection, however, to allow the free exportation, and for abolishing the bounty. He believed the laws about corn never had d,,:t any good, but might do much harm. This measure ought not to be considered as a rise of prict• to the growers; for, surely, at the present time that could not be necessary: He would vote for the post ponement of this subject. Mr. VANSITTART explained. _ _ _ e d, e Mr. W. FI'I'ZGERALD contended, that for the last few years we had been indebted to the prohibi. tion of corn in distillation for our abundance of that article. The object of this measure was to afford a constant and easy supply to the manufacturing poor. Mr. H. LASCELLES wished, that if the Hour Were determined to take up this measure, k should b 4; set forth in a resolution sufficiently explanatory to the country. Mr. GOOCH thought this was not the proper Cm= t) bring forward any subject, the object of w . dracir to raise the price of corn. Mr. P. CAREW spoke in favour of the measure. Sir H. PARNELL replied; when the House di tided—Fur the moti..m, 136 ; against it, 32. The House then went into the Committee pro forma, the Chairman reported progress, and askzd leave to sit again on Thursday next. On the motion for going into a Committee on Pal filer's Claims, Mr. ROSE said, that for years he had entertained an opinion that Mr. Palmer had no claim on the ninary, on account of his non-performance of the duty of his office. Colonel PALMER defended the claims of his fa lser :it considerable length. Mr. BROWN and Mr. HOLFORTH supported ')lr. Palmer's claims. Mr. LONG and Mr. BANKES opposed them. After a few words from Mr. STUART, the House divided—For going into a Committee 76—Against 23—Majority 48. The House then went into the Committee, when !tveral clauses were agreed to, and the report ordered to be received on Thursday. NEGOCIATION WI fii DENMARK. Mr. PONSONBY moved an Address to the Prince Regent, for Copies or Extracts of any Letters between the Secretary of State and any accredited Minister the King of Denmark, during the present year.— He moved for these Papers as necessary to illustrate the discussion on the Swedish Treaty, likely to take ►lace on Friday next. Lord CASTLEREAGH thought what was now Aked fur would afford no aid in judging of the merits of the Treaty with Sweden, which was signed on the 3.1 of March, long before any discussions took place v'tdi Denmark ; and on that ground he resisted the Fr' Elution et the papers asked for, as there were parts of the discussion between this country and Denmark which be could not consent to have made public. Mr. PONSONBY slid, he did not ask for cor respondence since the 3d of March, but during the' whole of tae present year. Lord CASTLEREAGH repeated his arguments eg•inst the production of the Papers. The motion was then negatived without a division, and the House adjourned at Hat VPAST Tana s' elock this Morning. ._,T,HE EVENING STAR LONDON. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 16, 1813.

CONCLUSION OF AN ARMISTICE BETWEEN THE ALLIES AND BONAPARTE. This important fact is confirmed. Paris Papers to the 11th inst. have been received, and they contain ample details on the subject. Hostilities were desisted from on the Ist of June, and the cessation is to con tinue until the 20th of July. The Prussian fortresses, so basely withheld by BONAPARTE and garrisoned by French troops, are to remain in the same occupancy ; nay, more—the Allies are to furnish them with pro visions every five days ; and Glogau, perhaps the most important and formi cable of the Whole, is to be provisioned for twelve months I These terms are highly advantageous to BONAPARTE ; the fortresses (and they comprehend Dantzic s , Zamose, Modlin, Stettin, and Cumin) *ill give him just as many strong holds 'in his diplomatic arrangements, when the ad possiddis comes under discussion. The line of demarkation which the Allies have been able to obtain places their situation in a point of view rather more favourable. The rivers Bober, Oder, and the Elbe, " to its mouth," are to be the boundaries of the Allied armies. Thus the whole of Prussia, with the exception of her fortresses, is rescued from the gripe if the Tyrant ; but Hamburgh, we fear, is irrevocably handed over to the French. If it had held out, in a state of siege, for ten days longer, it would have probably been declared independent ; but its occupation by' he French, at the mJment of the Armistice being signed, will render it a fohni dable make-weight in the uti rouidetis. Saxony is to continue under French controul, but the Prussian States in that kingdom are exempted, and this may be regarded as another favourable sii pulation. The territory declared to be neutral, which includes Breslaw and some other places of lesser note, is about 40 English miles in width as nearly as we can guess from the map. The Landsturm, or Mi. litia, is prohibited from occupying this district du ring the Armistice. Such are the stipulations in the preliminary to a pacification, for in all probability this will be its ter- 1 ruination. It we saw any preparations on the part of Austria. to take the field—it we witnessed ;toy thins like a continuance ot the spirit ot insurrection which At one time manifested itself throtNholi , , the North ot Germany—and if we found W.ITTGLNSIE:N I S rELS, KOTZEBUE, SCHARNHOUST, and the Co,s cks (the inve erate enemies of 13,INAPAIITE, ACCOrAtiag to 11;s own avowal) if we found these grent men, we say, in tull ►ctivity, scatteting the sacr.•d doctrines of insurrection aid revolt, and kinul'ng the t rcit tt resistance at the .mbers of the desolated h•thit scions set on tire by French robbers and ass.:ssins.— then we say hat the deliverance ot Europe was postponed, but -tot countermanded. But ho such contummation is at hand-Austria closes her support to the common cause at the moment when she holds the means which might give iiberty to Europe in her hands. The services of the " Pamphleteer s" of Germ ,tny have been dispensed with, to make room for KLEIST, SCHOUVALOFF, and a tribe of Negociators ; anJ though last not least in the catalogue of the disasters of the Allies, the heroic, the invincible WITTGENSTEIN (and with a gloomy sa tisfaction we record it because. it does him honour) has resigned the command of the army, rather than incur the disgrace of treating with the desolators of his native land, or compromise the principles which he had so often pledged himself to support by his sword, and which had for their object the deliverance of Europe. He has ceased to command the Allied Armies when their command, in his eyes, no longer conferred konour, and BARCLAY DE TOLL'S', whom it was found necessary; after the battle of Smolensk°, to supersede by KIGTIAGYF I has been again raised to the command. A. Letter from an Officer at Miliardo da Soda, near Head-quarters, written at the moment when the campaign was about to open in the Peninsula, pre sents some particulars which may yet prove accept able to our Military Readers. After stating that every thing was in motion towards the front, battering train, pontoons, intrenching-tools, and troops of all descriptions, English, Portuguese, Spanish, and Ger mans; cavalry, infantry, artillery, sappers, and mi ners, &c.—the letter proceeds thus : " The Hero of Ihirossa has been sent for to Head quarters, and for the last week has been in consulta tion with the Marquis of WELLINGTON, as to the plan of the campaign. It was at one time currently re ported, that Sir THOMAS would be sent over to take the chief command of the Alicant Army, which numbers,about SUMO men ; but it is said that Lord WELLINOTOkt WisbeS to retain him with this army. in ease of say accident to himself. A few days ago the Marquis held a Council of War, at which there assisted Sir THOMAS GRAHAM, Sir THOMAS PICTON the MARSHAL, Baron ALTEN t and General KEMP'', with Sir Ricamto FLErarsa and Colonel Dtatsox. " Preparatory to the Army going into the field, there have been some grand reviews by the Marquis. He first reviewed the Spanish Cavalry, and was much pleased. He next reviewed the 4th Division (Sir LAURIE COLE'S), who made a good review, particu larly the Fusileer Brigade. He nest reviewed the Household Brigade, consisting of the two regiments of Life Guards and Blues, who made a most magni ficent appearance, and delighted every spectator, par ticularly the Spanish and Portuguese Officers, among whom was CASTANOS ; their charge was fine and powerful beyond every thing. This fine brigade is commanded, at present, by Sir ROBERT HILL ; but another able officer, Colonel ELLEY, is about to get it• Lord WELLINGTON was delighted with the brigade, and in raptures with his own regiment: he wore the full dress of it at the review. 4 The next review was of the fine Hussar Brigade, just come, consisting of the 10th, 15th, and 18th— the whole commanded by Colonel GRANT : it is suf ficient to say, they made equally as good a review as the Household Brigade—the horses and men were the admiration of every spectator. The last review was of the Light Division, the finest perhaps in the British army, and in the highest order: it is com manded by that excellent officer Baron CHARLES ALTEN, on whom the MARQUIS bestowed the highest praises : the Rifle corps was in particularly fine order—it was beautiful. The Marquis of WELLINGTON, in these Grand Reviews, wait attended by his Serene Highness the Prince of ORANGE, by General Sir T. GRAHAM, his Excellency General CASTANOS (Commander in Chief of the Spanish Army), by his Excellency Marshal BERESIORD (Commander in Chief of the Portuguese Army), General WnieFEN, a distinguished Swiss General—by Generals Baron ALTEN, Sir L.

The contents of the Dispatches received by Go vernment, frem Lord WELLINGTOY, yesterday, were communicate) in a Bulletin, which we gave in a Se cond Edition. The whole of the Dispatches were published in last night's Gazette, to which we refer our Iteaders. Cadiz Papers, to the 26th of May, arrived this morning, but they contain no intelligence from the Peninsula of any interest. Troth Palermo we are fa voured, through this medium, with a detail of the dis / inrbances in Sicily in March last, which, as our Readers already know, were quelled by the prompt 411.1 decisive measures of Lord WILLIAM BENTINcic. Me QUEEN, the cause of all the mischief, was to leave ale island finally on the Ist of June. New York Papers to the Ist of May were received this morning by the Lisbon packet, but they contain nothing of any interest. The letters by this con veyance inform us, that the Tontine was expected to sail every day with passengers for Lisbon. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ASCOT HEATH RACES. I , lBbc DAY—TUILSDAT, JUN& 15.

The sailing of the transports at Harwich, with the troo -s on board fm r grand Expedition to the Norih, has been countermanded. All the ammunition and ordnance stores for the gun-boats, which were on board the DESIREE frigate, have also been lauded at the Ordnance depot at Harwich ; from which it .1 inferred that the design of the Expedition is wholly abandoned. Friday a detachment of the Royal Artillery Dril Yen Corps arrived at Cove fr im Ballincolig, and embarked on board transports, which were waiting to carry them nut to join the army under Lord WEL.

Bow-STREET.—MURDER OF MRS. SravNs.—Mon• day evening James Cornwell was brought to this Office, under suspicion of being the perpetrator ef the horrid murder committed at Woodford. It ap. peared that the prisoner had sold a watch to a publi can in town, and a young man examined it, and found that it answered the description given in an advertisement. Information was accordingly given. and the man was apprehended. The account he gave of the watch was by no means satisfactory. A pair of breeches were found by Vickery, in an office com e tiguous to the stables where the prisoner worked, which had the appearance of being stained with blood. The prisoner behaved in the most insolent manner throughout the whole of his examination, and refused to give any further account of himself than up to nine o'clock on the night of the murder. He was re. mantled for further examination. ExtcurioN.—This morning, Robert Kennett. for having forged a draft for £4u9o, oar the firm of Sir RICHARD CARR GLYNN and Co. was, pursuant to his sentence, executed before the Debtor's aoor, Old Bailey, in presence of an immense crowd of specta. tors, who had at an early hour assembled to witness the unhappy exit of this unfortunate man, who was brought upon the scaffold at eight o'clock dressed in a plain suit of mourning, and attended by the Ordi. nary of Newgate, with whom he remained a few mi. nutes in prayer ; during this short and awful period he appeared to be perfectly resigned to his fate, which lie met with becoming fortitude, and died without the least emotion.
