The Atlas combines three great features peculiar to itself ;—it forms a complete Weekly Newspaper, an Original Newspaper of the Seventh Day, and an ample Journal of literature. Printed and published by James Whiting, Beaufort Buildings, Strand. rip- The Proprietors regret that many of their Subtcribers were last week disappointed in net receiving the paper on Sunday morn. ing. The truth is, that the demand so far exceed e d what had be e n calculated upon , that a number of the newsvenders were unable to obtain a sufficient supply in time to meet the orders of their customers. Weatly seven thousand copies of the Atlas were printed and published—by far the greatest number, it is presumed, for a first day's publication, that ever issued from the Newspaper pies* of this cciuntry. It gratifies the proprietors to be enabled to give this assurance to their advertising friends, that the channel they have chosen is one of most extensive publicity ; and that, though a great number of advertisements were unavoidably post poned (as the lumber presented would have filled three times what the proposed space for advertisements would admit), such is the prospect of increasing circulation, that those inserted in future numbers of the Atlas win appear to as much advantage as they would have appeared in the first. Of the imperfections inseparable from a first publication, the Proprietors need say nothing, as a friendly allowance is always made on that account. They shall relax no efforts to render the ATLAS as perfect as possible in each of its departments ; and they ex pect that it shall be to conducted, and so published, that all further apologies will be unnecessary.

HOUSE OF LORDS, illov 25. It was resolved in a Committee of Privileges, that the Lards Caimans and ALDiosovan had made out their claims to vote at the election of Representative Peers for Ireland. By the Aet of the Union with Ireland hie Majesty is allowed to create only one Irish Peer for every three that are extinct. The Hesse last year came to a resolution that the Roscommon Peerage was extinct, sad that being the third, Sir Benjamin Bloomfi e ld was created Lord Bloomfield; but Thera now appear two claimants for the Roscommon Peerage, if either of them succeeds it will be attended with a violation of one of the Articles of the Union. It was resolved, that there did not appear suMelent grounds in the Dr Lisle Peerage to advise bib Majesty to accede to the Peti tion of the claimant. Lord REDESDALE, In adverting to the Annandale Peerage claim, said that some active Attorney should be appointed by the Mouse to examine into the right of claimants—it often happened, that tides were given to claimants to the prejudice of persons who had a superior right—.4ll for want of proper investigation. As the claim In question was fcunded on being des ended from a younger branch of the family, it was meet that the claimant should satisfy their Lordships that the elder branches of the family were extinct. It was, therefore, resolved, that the farther consideration of this claim be adjourned till next Sessions, and that the Petitioner be requested to inform the House, whether the issue of James, first Lord Johnstone, and of Henrietta, old) , daughter of the Mar quis of Annandale, a nd great grandmother to the elainiant,be extinct. The Earl of LIMERICK perfectly concurred with the Noble Lord as to the appointment of seine person to investigate claims. It was more particularly wanted in Ireland to put a stop to the absurd pretensions of spme.persons who had no right whatsoiver. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that he was placed in a disagreeable situation on the death of a Peer; application was al ways made to him to issue a writ to his successor; in such cases be found it necessary to ask very delicate questions, such as, whe ther his parents had been married? was he born in wedlock? ke. Though this was his duty, yet the claimant in general felt offended. The Committee then adjourned, and the Bishop of Sr. DAVID read prayers. lux elks v. eau,. The LORD CHANCELLOIt, in giving judgment In this ease, said that it was au appeal irons a Decree of the Court of Bugle quer Chamber in Ireland. The qutstiun entirely turned on Flse construction of an Act pisitd in the seventh year of the reign of Henry VII. commonly called Poyning's Act, whereby" It was muted that no person should be capable of being elected a Bur- First—Became, from the accounts laid before Par liament of wheat, floor, &c. exported by Great Britain within the last five years, it exceeded the quantity im ported, and during such period the people wh , 11 . 7 subsisted on wheat the growth of the British dominions, purchased at a price which has not hitherto produced any pressnre.on the general consumer. Secondly—Because it is reasonable to expect that the remunerating price obtained by the grower of British corn during the last two years has induced a greater cultivation ; and because no tircumstances have appeared to show that the consequent increase in the produce oF corn by the Biitish grower will not present .t proportionate supply to meet the demands of an increasing population. Thirdly—. Because the hitroduCtion of Foreign wheat into the market, will disappoint the fair expectations of the British grower, and hence tend to discourage the cultivation of the British soil. Fourthly—Because it isa dangerous experiment and example of unequal taxation. It is just to tax a whole community fur the re lief of one distressed class; but unjust to tax one class for the relief of another class, Etc. _ _ Fifthly—Because this Bill is introduced after repeat. ed and recent pledges from the Ministers, that they had no intention to bring in any measures this Session• to affect or disturb the Corn Laws, &c. and because it is not the result of deliberative wisdom, but of hurried alarm, bearing the characters of a premiums upon out rage rather than that of a bonus to distress.

Dissentients— For the above Reasons (those set forth in the first protest), and,. Because this Bill delegates to the Ministers of the Crown a power which the Constitution places in the hands of Parliament; and because the Bill gives to a few individuals an arbitrary influence over the property and prosperity of agriculture, and over the price of the food of the people. Because all great public measures, however tempo rary in their legal construction, are not so in their poli- tical effect; and because this measure has a partial tendency to introduce into the corn trade violent flue• tuitions of price, consequent on the uncertainty that will be occasioned by it, and to create a necessity for its continuance that does not exist for its adoption. Because, the proposed measure is not asked on the ground of an existing difficulty, but of a future possi bility and uncertainty ; and, because it affords the pre cedent for giving to Ministers a discretionary power Of suspending the Habeas Corpus Act, or any other law esseatial to the liberty of the subjec►. And, because, all the encroachments of arbitrary power have been effected under the semblance of pro ceedings and measures proposed for the public benefit, an!l thus have often been carried with the acquiescence of a deluded people; but it is the duty of those who see the really injurious character of the measure, to protect the srue interests of the community and constitution, &c. (Sired) ELLEN BOROUG H, MONTFORT LIMERICK, SHERBORNE. NEWCASTLE, THIRD PROTEST. Against the beeond reading of both Bills, particularly the Cora Importation BM. The reasons of this Protest are set forth at immense length,. suf ficient to occupy a dozen pages of an octavo pamphlet. The Protest commences with urging the necessity of not bowing or giving way to prejudices or the clamour of the moment—noticing the wild speculations of 1825, and remarking that at such period of difficulty the Mi nisters attempted to do that which - in times of tranquil• lity they had in vain endeavoured—namely, the sup pression of one pound notes and the introduction of gold in their stead. ,It also dwells on the heavy az to which land in particular is subjected, as compared with some branches of manufactures, at a time, too, of what the Protest says is absurdly called free trade—mention ing especially the state of the silk trade in contrast. The tax on land, it states, amounts to 571. per cent. on the rent—namely Land Tat . 410 0 0 Tithe and Poor's Rate . 33 0 0 County Rate, Prosecution for Riots, Ste. 14 0 0 Total . j 7 0 0 The Silk Trade, it mentions, has a protection of 30 per cent. but amounting in tealtty to 4 percent. while the 12s. duty on coin imported was only equal to 20 per cent. protection—thereby showing, that if the Ministers act on their own principle of protection, us extended to the Silk Trade, there would be a much higher rate of protecting duty for the corn growers. It next takes an extensive review of the several Corn Laws from Charles IL to 1765; and from that period to 1812, pointing out the advantages that had resulted from the former, and the disadvantages that have resulted from the regula• tions of the latter period, It also praises generally the Corn Laws of 1815. and contends that they have been beneficiA in enabling the country to rely on its own re , sources for the supply of corn it complains, that in this instance, as in the case of the one pound notes, the Ministers are availing themselves of a time of alarm, to (carry particular measures—and it concludes with de- Head-quarters, Camp, before BhurtpOre, Dee. 28, 1825.

MY LORD-4 have the honour to acquaint your Lord ship, that since my dispatch of the 23d inst. the works against the town of Bhartpore have proceeded as regu larly as I could have expected, and with very little op position from the enemy, except on the night of the 24th, when the working parties were a good deal an noyed by the enemy's matchlock men. On the morning of the 24th, a battery of eight 18 pounders in front of Ku ddu m Kundee, and one 6 mortar, which in. the course of the day was increa+ed to 15, in front of Buldeo Singh's garden, was opened, and this morning the advanced battery, between these positions, as shewn in the sketch sent to your Lordship, was com pleted with five 18 pounders, and five 24 pounders, at a distance from the north east angle of about 250 yards, by means of which the defences on the east face of the work, as far as thelarge projecting bastion, have been in a great measure destroyed. The approach from Buldeo Singh's garden towards the north face of the town will be commenced this night. • I beg to inclose a return of casualties to the 24th iost. inclusive. I fear that I Shall be for some time deprived of the very efficient services of Captain.

LORD---I have the honour to acquaint your Lord ship, that the Engineers were emploLed horn the night of the 26th instant (the date of my labt dispatch) until the morning of the 28th, in forming the approach to, and constructing a battery bearing on, the north face of the north east angle of the town, at a distance of about 250 yards from the walls; and en the same afternoon the battery was armed with four 18 pounders and eight 24 pounders. Last night, a second parallel, connect ing the two advanced batteries, was commenced, and is now completed. The next work intended is to run a trench to the southward, and construct a battery, bearing on the curtain to the southward of the large northern bastion. I beg to acquaint your Lorchhip, that on the evening of the 26th, a small party of the enemy's horse elected their escape from the west of the town. An attempt having been again made by about 200 horsemen, on the night of the 27th, they were attacked by our picquets, and nearly ill either killed or taken prisoners. 1 regret to observe, that three Officers were wounded on this occasion, though,otheriise our loss was trivial.
