I am surprised no Federal s e mber has called for a list of American vessels cap tend under the authority of the French. But the B ol e probably would not adopt such a Resolution. • Mr. NELSON commenced a speech against the strops and astonishing doctrine advanced by Claes. _ _ a The Speaker declared that attacking Canada, was a war, not of Offence, but of Defence, and he i kbed so to be distinctly understood.—l wonder ylgthethe thought the whole house were fools. _ The' knowing ones in the House were sensible that the Volunteer Bill was nought ; hence they poled the other; but they are both nothing towards a The 25,000 Bill has passed in spite of Madison's tenth, and if Le signs it, he must commission all the dam.

With regard to France, the National latelligenter says, " Although no doge had taken place, yet the aspect of our affairs was iatt cring."

" WASHINGTON. 14 The order cf things here is still to keep up as loud a clamour of war as possible, and all the stick lers, of:lice-holders, and expectants of the administra tion, far and wide, are ordered to echo it; but those who are best acquainted with cabinet secrets, say, we shall not have any other than a paper war—and that the Hoilse have set a time which the Executive will not carry out. 44 Mr. FosrEa's carriage having been seen at Mr► MostnoE's door, has occasioned many crude reports to be circulated—it is, however, stated, that Mr. Fos- TER has required such an explanation on the war talks and preparations as the laws of neutrals state. I have not heard what the answer, if any, has been. 44 The principal t , pics discussed in our circles is who shall be the next President ? General ARM STRONG, DE WITT, CLINTON, and other arch-intriguers are here ; and occasion much uneasiness in the Palace, notwithstanding outside appearances. ... 4 , The report of the Committee for allowing the importation otpertain goods, I am sorry to say, has not been taken up to-day." GLASGOW, FEBALMRT 11. At the meeting of the manufacturers; held yester day in the Trades Hall, the Committee brought for= ward their report.. They recommended, that an advance, rather considerable, on some sorts of work, and less so on others, should be immediately made on weavers' wages ; that a new Committee should be appointed to consider on the expediency of apply ing to Parliament to fix a minimum ; and likewise, to take into consideration how far it will be conducive to the interests of the country that the East India Company should continue to enjoy their exclusive privileges after the expiration of the Present charter. The report of the Committee was approved of. TRURO, FEBRWART 14. The resistance of certain Tin Smelters to the sys tem of stocking tin at a reduced price for the India Company, with the view of relieving the home mar ket from the pressure of a superabundant produce, and by which system Cornwall has been so greatly benefited, has been met this week by a vigour beyond the law, not less culpable in practice, than natural in principle. Above a thousand working sinners, &c. assembled and destroyed some ladders and other ma teriels belonging to their works. But the good temper of these distressed men, soon admitted the remon strances of reason. A resolution has been adopted, however, to send no more tin ore to the obnoxious smelting-house.

RAMSGATE, FE8. • 15. The whole of yesterday it blew a strong gale from the S.

The sloop Three Brothers, of Shoreham, in coming from harbour, was driven against the pier -head, by which she carried away her bowsprit, with other da mage, and was obliged to bear away for Broadstairs; she was observed by the boatmen there, who, with two of the lug-sail boats, put off to her assistance ; but they had no got far from the shore, when, owing to the violence of the wind and seas, one of the boats ran foul of the ?Aber and upset her, by which acci dent, we are sorry to say, that Mr. Oval and Mr. Job, both of Broadstairs, were unfortunately drowned; they have lett wives and families to lament their loss. The sloop got on the rocks in going into Broadstairs, but by the greatest exertions on the part of the boat men, she was got off, and is now in the harbour, and has sustained great damage in her hull and.rigging. YARMOUTH, FEBRUARY 16. NO77INGH4M RIOTS. The latest accounts from Nottingham represent the disposition to disorder as having most materially sub sided. If appearances could he depended upon, the frame-breakers might be considered as hay ng laid down their arms, one frame only having been de stroyed in the course of the last week ; which vio lence was committed at Hucknall Torkard, on the Monday night.; a waggon-load of frames, however, were brought from that village to Nottingham, on Thursday last, under a military escort, to prevent them from sharing a similar fate. The attention of the Legislat , u'e to the subject of the disturbances is thought to have been productive of ad vantage in putting a stop to their progress, it being supposed that Parliament would enter into an investi gation of the causes of these tumults. Independently of the decay of the manufactures by the events of the war, there arc many minor circumstances, the better regulation of which, it was conceived, would go fat to prevent the recurrence of similar disgraceful scenes. Some of the frame-work knitters have had a meeting, at which they resolved to call together a more gene ral meeting, to be held on this days in the town of Nottingham, for the purpose of obtaining information on the causes cf the disturbances, and communicating the same to Parliament. The following is a copy of the address published by some of the workmen to the whole body : Sailed the PARTHIAN sloop of war, and the MDT E gun-brig, on a cruize ; KING GEORGE cutter, for the Texel, and the PRINCE of WALES ditto, for Grimsby.

" The troubled state to which the above places are reduced, by the pressure of the times and the operations of the frame breakers, having at length excited the attention of the Legisla ture, and as many members thereof have expressed a desire to obtain every possible information as to the probable cause of these disturbances, it has been thought prucle:a by many of the work men, that they and their fellow-workmen at large, should con tribute all in their power towards furnishing such information. " Accordingly a few of them held a seli Ct meeting on Tues day last, to take the measure into consideration; when it was re solved, that the workmen in every town and village in the neigh bourhood should be solicited to send two creditable persons to a meeting to be held at the slgn of the Sir Isaac Newton, in Glass house-lane, in this town, on Monday next, at twelve o'clock precisely, for the purpose of eommunicating the best intelligence in their power to such meeting, that such intelligence may be communicated to Lord Holland, Recorder of the lawn, to the Membereof the Town, the Members of the County, and to Mr. Whitbread.

LAW INtELLIGENCE. COUItT OF itri4oi BENCH. FEL le , SANK NOM MOT ~ILECIAL. TRXDBIt. BRAY V. 1111. V. Mr. CARROW stated, that the plaintiff, id this elli; was a respectable lid stable hotpot. in Holborn; and tenant to a Lady named Shepherd. The defen. dant was agent to that Lady, and in the habit of col. lecting her rents for her. The present was an action of replevin, to recover back goods to the valve of ets4 12s. taken under a distress warrant for rent, on the plea that a tender of the sum due for rent had been made on the part of therpleinpff previous to the dis. tress being made. The delhce intended to be set tip in this case, was one which he had hoped aever to have seen brouiln forward in a Court of Justice s namely, that the tender haring been made in Bang of England antes, was not a legal tender. He, hor. ever; should prove his case, and reserve any further observations tict he had heard what the defendant had , to state. Mr. Baker, Solicitor to the plaintiff, proved, that on the 25th of July last, he tendered to Mrs. Shep. herd's son the sum due for rent, namely £5l. 12s. in a £3O, two A-2, and one .IEI notes. Mr. Shepherd. however, refused to take it, saying, it was not a tender in the legal coin of the kingdom, observing, that Mr. Bray had been impudent to him, and he would punish him ; for, unless the rent was paid in legal coin before four o'clock on the afternoon of that day, he would put a distress upon the prenfses. This Was on a Saturday ; and, on the Monday following, he did in fact distrain for rent. Cressey, a groom, in the service of Mr. Bray, proved the distress - having been made on the 23d of July, and that, previous to that time, the witness ten dered the rent due, in Bank of England notes and GAnnow said, that finished his caes. Mr. PARKE was about to state a point of law, but was prevented by Lord ELLENROROLGII, wbo observed, he -sever much he might regret this issue, and how much the Jury might regret it, they were bound by thelaw; it Wan. a distressing case, but it was his duty to tell them, that a tcnder for rent in Bank of England notes was not a legal tender, they not being the cunlnt coin of the realm. In Lord Stanhope's Act, there is n pmvis;un as to tender of Bank-note to, rent ; but tips rent a•as due: on the very day before that Act received the Royal Assent. e have received tie following extract ri a letter frotn Cadiz, dated January 30:—" The new Regency are determined on more energetic measures than have been used since the revolution.

An Expedition, consisting of four vessels, having detachments of troops on board. had sailed from Bombay against the Jowassimie pirates. who still infeste.l the Persian Gulp& Tiro conipanies of the 89th foot had also embarked at Calcutta, on board the Bdcephaltts frigate, ob t particular service. which had not transpired. They were under the command of Captain Oakes. Letters bad been re ceived at Bombay, from Sir Goes OU3SLEY, ofthe 28th Tune, which notify the arrival of the English Miuirn in the Persian capital, where :t had been splendidly and hospitably received. Sir Goan was afterwards.invited to attend the Court to the summer residence. It was feared that the Staunch gun-brig had been lost in the same gale which proved so fatal to the Duchessof Yofk. at Titnatave, Madagascar. The Staunch, when last seen, was apparently in a state of distress.
