HOUSE OF COMMONS. ELECTION COMMITTEES. Lord EVITON reported from the Committee appointed to try the merits of the Dunfermline petition, that in confecucnce of the Abfence of Mr. Cartwright, one of the Members, the C.noir.ittre were unable to proceed. Ur. VAL , GUAN appeared at the hag, and (fated that Mr. Cartwright WAS .:Gt.flned from itidifpontion. The Hourr therefore ordered, that Mr. Cartwri .. .ht's atten dance on the Committee fbould be eiteufed. Mr. FAUL, from the Committee on the Dublin Univerfity Petitio: • reported the alifence of Alr.JoTrics (of Poole) one of its Members. Mr. ferrates Rated, in his place, and made affidavit at the table, that be did not decline to attend from any metal or in difference ; but from an utter ignorance of the pm:Le hour at wbich the Committee meant to meet on Saturday fait The ciente of Mr. Jeffries was allowed by the Houle.

MEDICINE ACT. Mr. Tie lusty prefented t petition from the Apothecaries, Chemifts, and Drunifts of the Borough of Southwark, praying the repeal of the Medicine Ad. The Honourable 11 lemtkr took occafton to make Come remarks Upon the propriety of se edling to the prayer of this petition. Mr. VAN SITT ART obfervad, that in confequence of •ert• di -1 gent inquiries whit had been made rcfpceting the upention of this Ad, &c. he int:Tided very iburtly to lay before the Heufe a propofition for its amendment ; but he begged it to be undrr ft.•o.l. that it was not by arty means intended to go the ksigth Of a repeal. Mr. TatiNee eaprelred a hope that the propofed modifies. 800 would remove the complaints which In ritually prevailed. The petitice was ordered to lie on the table. haNa ReSTRICTION BILL. On the motion f.; the third reading of the Bank Reftriaion Bill, Mr. JoHmsrows expreffed his approbation of the Bill, becAufe he thought it peculiarly ntceirAry in the prefent (late of Europe, to uphold our fivan cial fvaem, and he was much afraid that to reps a: the reftrietion, would feverely affeA the Stocks, and would difincline the Bank to continue that fyftem of accommodation for which they had beer heretofore Co honourably diftinguifbed, and which bad been In materially advantageous to commerce. This confequenee, the Honourable Member nb• ferved. was the more to be dreaded, when it was confidered that many of the Merchants had been encouraged during the war, from the profpeci of great profits. to trade theinfelves. To Inch men the accommodation alluded to-veas effentially ne• ceffary, at teat until our commercial intercourfe fli.iiild refired to its proper Rate. After dwell• ing for Game time on the nature of commerce and exchange. and on the ennfequences of this refiric tint', the Hon. Member concluded with Rating,that be hoped the time would very loon come when that reftriainn could be fafely removed. The Bill, after fame verbal amendments, pro. poled by the ATTORNIIY Gssits•t, was read a third time and pallid. CAPTAIN D'AU•FIGNI. Mr. ELi.tor adverted to the notice which had been given by a Learned Friend of his, previous to the Reed's, relative to the arreft, irnprifonmem, and examination of Captain D'Auvergne by the French Government, and added, that his Learned Friend had been prevented by illnefs, from attend ing the Houfe fince the concluilon of the Rccefs, but that he hoped to he able to appear in his place in a few days. The Hon. Gentleman Rated, that lie WAS &mime authorifed to give notice that his Learned Friend would bring fnrwatd bis intended rnotic.n on Monday next. If, however, the bufineti tvhich an linnoi.rable Baronet had announced his intention of fubmitting to the Houfe, on that day, fhotild go on, or thould long occupy the Hoar, finnoltrAblt ;end might poftpone this notice lime !Mute day.

He was detained two days, and they put three on hoard his veffel ; they informed him that they would fend off (rime in all the American veffels, until they got rid cf them. C!tpt. S. altb inform., that the frigates that there at New York, withthe Negroes, had returned, and that they had been landed on one of the Saiets, where they were undergoing their lail examination. It is loppoled they will be hanged or burned ! American produce was very dull at that place. A War between England and France was currently fpoken of. We underhand that the Executive have received authentic information, that the late fulpenfion of the right of depofit at New Orleans was under taken without orders from the Spanith Govern ' meat, arid that the mcafure had been immediately communicated to the Governor of Cuba. who has a furrintending authority over Louiliana, as it doubticfs was to the Spanith Government. It is certain alfo, that the Governor at New Orleans, who has no authority over the Officer from whom the firfpenfion iffued, objefled to the meafure.— Under thefe circumaances, and the interpolition of our onto Government, it may be reafonabli hoped, that the matter will be peaceably and early adjultcd. A difpute lately took place between Mr. Rur csna E, of South Carolina, and a Mr. ELLERY. of Rhode ifland, on public affairs. Mr. R. ctial- ; lenged Mr. E. who declined ; but Mr. R. having met him at an inn, beat him with a cane, pulled his note, &c.—A motion was made in the Horde, of Reprefentatives of the United States, on the :9th of December, by Mr. GRAY.

Ann. 30 7-1 51 This day we received a Maniteur of the t ith : it contains no news. The frfl page is filled with a Ratement of the receipts and expences of Great Britain, for the year which expired on the sth of January, 1802, preceded by the following older vations t—t. The following table exhibits thc bud get of the finances of Great Britain, according to the report made to Parliament. It refults from this budget—:R, That between the receipts and expences of Great Britain there is an annual defi cit of 658 millions of francs, which hitherto has been made good by fucceflive leans.—ad, That England, without including Ir:Liful, pays 533 millions of francs fur thc intereft of .s debts.— From this fauation )f the finances of England it is evident that the bill which anthorifes the Bank nut to r ay in !petit, will be fucccflively continued from year to year. The Englifli, in forming a Sinking Fund, announce, that their debt may be paid off in the s courfe of thirty years. But if we confider the fpitit of fully with which men who re tain any credit in their country are Rill animated, this time will appear infuflicient. When we (hall fee the Miniders prefent a Budget without a Loan, and confequently without a deficit, and the Bank paying its notes in f petit. it will then be reafonable to believe that England, after thirty years of ccco nomy, peace, and good underßanding with its neighbours, may be able to fill up the gulph dug by that blind hatred which wifhed for nothing leis than the annihilation of France " Letters by the New York Mail bring further accounts from St. Domingo, fame of which men tion the rc.capture of Fort Dauphin by the French, but Itatc that a great part of the artillery was car • Tied off by the Blacks, who evacuated the place without hazarding a battle. This accounts for the French not having loft any men in the attack. A pat t rf the town, fay the American letters, was burnt by the brigands, Luc the flames were loon eztinguilhed. The Anieticans are estremeli igitztel by the proceedings c( the Spatalh Govsiament, at New Orleans ; and they augur nothing lets ;ion being deprived I:1 the tifeful navigation nich e hiiireppi, as loon AS the French lhall hare taken pallid:4n of Loilifiana. At relent, the demands of thz Spaniards, as the condition of adziatitig tbe of the tiaited States into the hArbour a New • • Orleans, are, that they than pay the eftablifbed duties of the port. The complaints upon this fubjelt are Rill before the Legitlature, who are engaged in the examina tion of them. From the prefent afpat of affairs, we thould think that the Americanswill not tamely acquiefce in the injuries they have received. GICRAI:I AR, JANUARY 20. "On the iSth, being the anniverfay of her MA. STY'S birth-day, the whole garrifon were affem. bled on the Grand Parade, under arms, when, after marching pail his Royal llighnefs the Go vernor, and Calming him, three willies were fired by each regiment in honour of the day. " The troops were all.drefled in their new clo thing, which, added to their regularity and difci- One, rendered it one of the finell military exhi. bitions we ever beheld. " The Spaniffi Commandant was prefent nn the occafion, and afterward; dined with his Royal Higlines, along with all the principal Officers of the Navy and Army. 4 , We hate heard nothing from the fleet, or from Malta there three weeks. The wind is and prevaats any veals failing for England." Yellerday morning his Royal Highnefs the Duke of CUMBERLAND breakfatied with their MAJESTIES and his Royal Sifters. In the evening their Ala i cs riss had a Concert and a Card Party. 'flit Duke of MARLBOROUGH has difpofed of his great elate at Holdonby, in Northamptonfhire, to h,s fon in law, Lord Vifcount CLIEDEN, for feventy thoufand pounds. The American Judge, ADD: sow, was upon his trial on the 7th of January, before the Sepate of Pennfylvania, upon an impeachment, charging him with attempting to vilify and degrade his braille:. Judge Lucas on Circuit in the Allegheny county, by telling *a Petit Jury that the charge of the faid Lucas was nothing to the quedion at Mile, and refuting to let him addrefs the Grand Jury. The paragraphs which brit appeared in Come of the papers of Sunday, and were copied in•c thole of yellerday, flitting that feveral feditious hand. bills had been dropt on Saturday in the Citt, have, nn enquit y,proved to be wholly withoutfound. t r n. - - - - The trial and conviction of Col. DESPARD and his accomplices have given rife to a variety of abfurd and unfounded reports. Among them, a ttatement given in a Morning Paper of yefterday holds no mean rank. It afferts that 4. Col. Des port), and fix of his condemned affociates, are chained together in a tiring." The fall is, they have not been treated with any degree of feverity. So far from their being chained together, they are divided in different apartments. Col. Das- PARD has a room to hirnfelf as before his trial.— He appears altogether unmoved by his condem nation, and is employed two thirds of the day in writing. He has aelnally applied to be indulged with an Amanuenfis. Of the other prifoners,feven . are confined together, and two of thole recom mended to mercy occupy a feparate part of the prifon. Every attention, cenliftent with his duty and their situation, has been given to them by Mr. Ives, the Keeper of the New Jail. A parcel containing bad shillings, to the nomi nal amount of 571. 171. was found on the beach at Arbroath, about ten days ago. A number of fi rthlar ones were paffed the fame day in different (hops in Aihroath, by a woman in a red cloak, who is fuppofed to have efcaped either to Dundee or Montrofe.

DERBY AND OARS.—Nothing done. • Bo tr:c.—Yerterday a pitched battle was fonght nn Wimbledon Common for 20 guineas a fide.— The Combatants were Smith, the Boot-clofer, who was beat a fhort time ago by young OVionne!, after an hour's hard fighting, and Curry, a Pugilift of Tome note, but who has not entered the lids for thefe lag 7 years. The Amateurs promifed them felves much (port; and numbers attended the field of battle, notwithtlanding the dirty weather, and the length of the way. The opponents let-to at one o'clock, and continued the conted for twenty two rounds. The firtl and fecund rounds were in favour of Smith, who was indifputably the drongeft man. The third round was well contelled on both fides; but Curry hitting Smith a violent blow on his temples, knocked him down, himlelf falling with the force of his own blow. From that to the tenth round was nearly even betting. The t ith, ath, and 13th rounds teemed in favour of Curry, when he, unfortunately, fprained his right hand, which entirely gave the turn of the battle againß him ; and although he fought on with great fpirit and refolution, it was evident, from the little ufe he could make of his crippled hand, that he mull eventually give in. He frequently, in the cantle of the battle, was urged to yield ; hut he gave two reafons for his re. fufal fir R, that it was necetrary he fhould prove his bottom; and in the next place, fatisfy his friends that he had made the bell of a bad bufinefs. At the conclufion of the twenty-fecond round, lie, however, gave in, And Smith was declared viaor. After this battle, two boys, neither exceeding fourteen years of age,entered the ring and dripped, to 'hew the fpatarors the great progrefs they had made in the fcience of Pugilifm ; and lire enough they altonithed the Amateurs—both were confidered Mendoza:in miniature. Afters .out a dozen rounds, the juvenile Pugilißs were feparated, and a collet made for them.
