It appears that the alarm has been excited, so far as regards one of these Powers, bya. factious imposture, in circu lating a forged Note of the Russian Minister. On the BOtb September, }922, the Count de NESSELRODE, in answer to a diplomatic compliment on the arrival of the Emperor ALEXANDER, addressed to 11;rn by the Swits• Charge d'Affaires, expressed himself as .follows " The tranquillity and happiness of Switzerland will, rho Emperor is anxious to believe, fiod a new guarantee in the wis dom of the measures opposed by the - Government to the stib versive stratagems which signalize the present period. as well at I to individuals employed in propagating the principle, and who have endeavoured to make Switzerland the focus of :Mir culpa ble enterprises." Such was the declared sentiments of the Emperor of Russia in regard to Switzerland, and thane was certainly nothing in them to occasion alarm ; but a spurious Note, written in a very different tone, was industriously circulated, in which the EMPEROR was made to declare to the Swiss— " That the Confederation cannot preserve the good-will of the Emperor Alexander, except inasmuch as they. conform for the future in their proceedings (besides what bas been hitherto done) to the principles which regulate the conduct of the great Powers of Europe. " There must be an end to the toleration by which the dan gerous men of all nations find in Switzerland an asylum, pro tection, and even favour. " It would be also desirable that the Regencies of Switzer land should 'wily themselves, and that their lists should no longer present to the Cabinets names which inspire no confi dence, and which can be nA guarantees for the future." Accounts from Berne, of the 24th ult. state, that the author of the imposture has been discovered, and the necessary steps to prosecute him have been taken. .

He was not prep 'red, he observed, to come exactly to the same con:lo , imi with the Petitioners, but the Bill deserved the mast serious consideration ottheir•Lordships before they came to a final conclusion with regard to it: If it became a law, lands not drained were likely to heretempted from their full quota of contriburi. In to the Poor. rates. This appearerL to him to he an innovation on the - syeem of the law, of Puor-rates. He therefore thought it would be bet ter to recommit the &11. • The Earl of lIARDIVICHE, in - reply, was 3atis!ied that thoegh undrained, it would not be exempted from contributions • in the manner bow apprehended by the Noble Lord. When in the Committee, two Counsel were lieut.: 3r.:11".t Vie Bid, and only one for it ; which inferred that it had not passed through without seine opposition.

'The Earl of SHAFTESBURY reported the Turnpike Trus tees Meeting Bill as amended, when the amendments were agr.'ed to. • Earl POWIS presented a Petition front Ludlowaraying for the repeal of the Insolvent Debtors' Act. Sir Jahn Gaanam, Mr. STRING Rica, and others, brought up a me s sage from the other House, requesting their Lordships to communicate the Returns made in cases of Appeal ; and the Members were informed that their Lordships would send an ads swer by messengers of their own. The same Deputation brought up the Shannon Bridge Bill, the Tay Ferries Bill, and the St. Botolph (Aldgate) sad Sr. George's in the East Lighting BEI; which were afterwards read. first time. wow.. The Earl of II ARE WOOD said he had some PeCtions to pre- seat, which he conceived to be of some importance at the pre sent time. The Petitioners were merchants and manufacturers of wool in the towns of Leeds and Huddersfield, in the County of York, who prayed for the repeal of the Duties now payable on else importation of Foreign Wool into this country its it. raw . state. At a period when a Bill had passed through Parliament which offered such advantages to the foreign trader in wool, it certainly did not appear too much upon the part of the people of England to claim an exemption from the payment of duties on the raw materiaL Foreigners, in consequence of this advantage, were , enabled to expose goods, manufactured here, in foreign markets, at less cost than ourselves, and therefore with what de- triment to ourselves their Lordships might e oily judge. Foreign cloth was preferred in even our own market. IVe were pre vented from working up our native wool with the lower descrip thns of foreign wool; and though we had found out new markets for our goods in different and distant parts of the world, we no longer could occupy the markets we formerly did. He under stood that there remained no Objecton on the part of Govern ment to remit the tax upon the importation of wool. if our roa nufaccurers would consent to a free trade; but he hoped th..t their Lordships would not be hasty in adopting the proposal. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said,he certainly had no manner of objection to laying these Petition on the tab': of the *use. — It was also quite true, that a Noble Friend of his, sodse yeat s ago, had proposed the duty now stipulated on the importation of foteign wool, wl:lth was then estimated at only .6•200,000 ; but that duty now produced no less than £400,000a-year, and was easy to collect. So touch, there fore, for the argument as it re- greeted the Revenue, which should induce their Lordships to pause before they parted with the tax. • The next question to be considered was, svhether the dirty on foreign wool imported hail hurt in any &pecan,. woollen manufactures; and here, again, if their Lerdships:svoule only look at the papers now upon the table of the Unease, they would discover that.our manufactures bad increased. With respect to the loss of some markets, this alteration wastiot unlike, as to catties t the depreciation of agricul tore; and must.he imputed to circumstances nut affecting in the result our national prosperity, but rather to changes in the posi tion of countries as connected with the vicissitudes of commerce. If, therefore, the tax were ascertained to be productive to the Revenue, and if, upon the miler hand, its operation was not in jurious' to manufacturers, why should Parliament on a sudden give up causelessly this particular tat? Though, In conic ' queuee of these cirCumstance:, he should regret the giving up of a tax which produced the suns or .C 400,000 a year, and where the substitution of another must- occasion great inconve nience to the Public, yet he would not object to the prayer of the Petitions now before the House, if, .he return, our own ma-' nufacturers would consent to arm the free export of British wool; but if that alteruitivo mufti , * Womb' it w a s propar to possess a countervailing duty on the importation of foreivs leo& As to the question whether the trade in wool should 'altogether be thrown open, or be suffered to remain in its present state, he was not disposed to meddle with it. THE MARRIAGE LAW. .. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY here moved • the Order of the Day, upon which their Lordships had been summoned, for this Hou:e going into a Committee on the Marriage Lew Amendment Bill. • The Earl of WEBTIVIORELAND said, upon the question' tieing put from the Woolsack; that his object in risin so early was really to save their Lordships' time.* The principal clause likely to create the most opposition, was:that respecting the voidance of mar riages once seemnized; and therefore he wished to move, 'that it should be an instruction to the Corn ' mine* to omit the voidability clause listened in the Bill: He did not object to that clause npon.tlie: ground of his undue exertion of parental *rigtiti' ink' because he believed ii would prove nugatory., itle objected to many of the provisionVas altering the L• w of the land i and he could not help rereiting the answer that wastiven by the English Barons, on an occasion not much unlike 'the present; they ex 'claimed, with united voices—A'olumuc Legre Anglia: Mktari, inlonner times, and their Lordships ought to hold exactly the same language in the present day. 1 On what ground was it attempted to defend the Bill? When Lord Hardwicke brought in his memorable Bill, there were guar grievances - to be complained of.
