Lord CHARLES MANNERS presented a Petition from certain Landholders of the Hundred of Wisbeach, complaining of Agricultural Distress.—Read, and ordered to be printed. Sir CHARLES COLE presented a Petition of a similar na. tare from several Occupiers of Land in the County of Glamor gan, The Hon. Member observed, that the best lands in the County could not now obtain tenants, such was the progress of Agricultural Distress. WODEHOUSE presented Petitions from Swaffham and \Cot•on. complaining of Agricultural Distress, and which the Petitioners attributed to the state of the Corn and Poor Laws.—Ordered to lie on the table. Mr. CREEVEY gave notice of a motion on the subject of the Act for remunerating persons holding civil employments un it Government, for this slay se'nnight. Mr. BER NA L moved for Accounts of all sums of money ' paid by Great Britain as bounties for any slaves captured from Slave Traders, and the sums on that account claimed front the Treasury by the Commissioners of the Navy.—Ordered. A Return of the Coals imported into Ireland, and exported front England coastwise during the last year, ending January 1, 1822, was ordered to be laid before the House on the motion of DAwsoN. Mr. 11. GRESFELL moved for Accounts of the Monthly Balances of Public Money, Cash in hand, in the Bank of Eng land, for all the different public services during the last year.- o:dered. Mr. HUME moved for a Return of the Officers of the Bri tish Army, who received pensions as compensation for wounds, ' with every particubr of date, place, name, nature of wounds, and amount. lie wished the House to be in possession of this list, as he would be able to chew that many had received pen-• sions for injuries of a temporary nature, and continued to re . ceive them when no longer suffering.—Ordered. Usc Honourable Member also moved for a Return of all Sums expended in Repairs for the Royal Military Colleges since the year 18111; also for a Return from the East India Corn-1 pany's College at Ilertford, containing a Statement of the Cost of Building, and all Expenses attendant thereon since its esta blishment.—Ordered. A similar Account was ordered from the East India COlll. pang's Seminary at Addiscotnbe; and an Account of all Cadets that bare been sent to India from these places or elsewhere. The lion. klenther also moved for a Return of the number of MU-pay Officers who were at present in Holy Orders, with every particular relative to rank, and amount of half-pay, place of residence, &c. Mr. LUSHINGTON observed, that the lion. Member must point out a way of ascertaining the information he wanted be fore the Return could be made. Mr. HUME thought a reference to the affidavits deposited in the Office of the Paymaster-General, for every quarterly pay ment of half-pay, would turaish the means of making cut the Return. He knew that there were many Officers in Holy Or ders, who, he thought, might well spare their half-pay. Mr. GRENFELL suggested that Military Chaplains should be excluded from the Return. Mr. CA LC RA FT thought the information in question im portant. What situation would the country be in if they were to require the services of these Officers in I loly Orders?—The Return was then ordered, with the exclusion of Military Chaplains. A similar Return was ordered, on the motion of the Hon. Member, of all Officers serving in the Militia in the receipt of half-pay. The Hon. Member next moved for Accounts of the sums of money which had been paid to the Commissioners for the Re demption of Public Debt not appearing in the public accounts since the year 1786, and a Return relative to the Fee Fund of the Court of Session in Scotland, since its institution, shewing how the same has been applied, and upou what authority the same has been paid.—Ordered. SLAVE TRADE LAWS. Dr. LUSIIINGTON, pursuant to notice, rose to move for leave to bring in a Bill for the consolidation of the existing Laws relative to the abolition of the Slave Trade. As he did not expect any opposition to his motion, he should refrain from going into any detailed statement on the subject. He would merely state, that for the last thirty years the House had been passing a series of Statutes, for the purpose of either checking, or for the final abolition of this odious traffic. Those Gentlemen who had introduced these Statutes had not thought it necessary to repeal the Statutes which were in existence before them ; and the consequence was, that it had become exceedingly difficult for a person acting in obedience to the laws to discover whether he was complying with the pro visions at all, or whether he was not accidentally vio lating some of them. It appeared, therefore, to him that the consolidation he proposed should take place, especially as the execution of them was entrusted, amongst others, to Officers of the Navy and Custom house Officers, who had not an opportunity of cou . suiting these numerous Statutes. A consolidation, therefore, he proposed to make, containing all the provi.ions of the other Statutes, in a form so clear, that if taken up by the Officer commanding a cruiser, or any other person, there would be no occasion to look elsewhere to know how to act. This the House would see was a work of considerable difficulty and labour, and he confessed that in the Bill he intended to introduce, he had been assisted by the labours of a Learned Friend, whose attention had long been directed to the subject of consolidating the laws. It was no intention of his to alter the law, which would be precisely the same as at present, except such as should point out in the shape of amendments what appeared to him to be defects. He trusted the House would permit him to bring in the Bill, and in the Committee he would explain his views more fully. He was aware that the system was subject to many objections. Some of the enact ments were obscure, and others were defective; but there would be a full opportunity in the Committee for considering these points, and he would take care that any individual Member, who should desire to introduce a clause tending•to promote what had been for so long a time the great object of Parliament, should have an opportunity of doing so. The prin ciple upon which the consolidation would be made, was perspicuity. His intention was, if he succeeded in this instance, to apply the same principle in the course of the next Session, to other parts of the law. Much he thought might be done, by the principle, in the Criminal Code. That, however, was a consi deration for the future-4or the present he should content himself with moving— .' For leave to bring in a Bill to consolidate and amend the Laws relative to the Slave Trade." Mr. BELLNAL wished for time to make some in quiries on the mode of executing these laws by our agents abroad, before the Bill should pAss through the House. Mr.DAWSONconsidered that a Bill of this nature was much wanted, and would be of great use. It hal his full assent. II:.LUiikeNGTON said, that as the Bill would not be hi a Committee before the middle of March, tloott would be plenty of time for his Hon. Friend (Mr. Bernal) to make the inquiries be desired. Leave WAS then given to bring in the Bill. Mr. DA {WON Uhl on the table a Report of the comparative Population of the different Counties of England. • A Return was ordered to be made of all Fees and Emolu ments received by the Solicitor of the Excise for the years 1820 and ;821, whether from the Commissioners or individuals. On the motion of Mr. Lusunsovors, Mr. BilliODIN brought up the Report on the motion for Supply, which having been read, it was resolved, that the House go into a Committee of Supply to-morrow. Mr. LUSHINGTON, in reply to a question put by Mr. Hume, said it was the intention of his Majesty's blinkers to propose some new regulation with reference to the management of the Stamp Office in the course of the Session. On the motion of the Right lion. Gentleman it was then ordered that the usual F.stimates for the Public Service for the ensuing year, be laid before the House. Adjourned at a Quarter past Five.

CITY BUSINESS.—The Loan MAYOR held a Court of Aldermen yesterday, at Guildhall, .for the dispatch of public business. The inquest of BishopsgateWard attended, and made a presentment of the nuisances occasioned by sundry liquor-shops being open on Sundays, which was referred to the Alderman. Seve ral appeals against serying the office of Constable were heard and determined. Several persons were sworn and allotted Brokers, and others discharged.

A communication having been made to all the Ministers of the Sublime Porte, as well as to each of the Members of Council, of the contents of twodis patches, enclosing the instructions given to his' Dra goman, by our friend Lord StranglOrd, the distin guished Ambassador Extraordinary of the Court of England to the Ottoman Poste, which dispatches, re gularly presented, and in the last place to the Sub lime Porte, have confirmed entirely all the communi cations made by our friend, the very distinguished Ambassador of Austria, in the conference lately held with him, at which were discussed all the points now in agitation between the Sublime Porte and the Court Of Russia, and which relate also to some other repre sentations ; and the result of this conference having also been communicated to the said Ministers and Members of Council, the whole has been brought within their knowledge. It is superfluous to speak, and would he as unneces sary to produce evidence of the good opinion which the Sublime Porte has always entertained of the Court of England, her greatest and most affectionate ally, of the confidence which she reposes in her, orof the genuine and unequivocal friendship which sub sists mutually between the two illustrious Courts, as it is to declare that the Porte has equally in view, in conjunction with the allied Powers, the maintenance of general tranquillity ; that she has no other object than this, that shenever will be disposed to adopt the detestable measure of violating treaties, and of being the first to commence war, and thather attention and scrupulous cares to fulfil exactly and literally her en gagements towards the Court of Russia are constant and manifcst. Whilst it is necessary, however, on the other side, that Russia should observe in the first instance, and before the execution of any other article, that con cerning the surrender of fugitives (the first point in discussion, which admits no qualification, and, with reference to the state of rebellion, ought to be sub ject to no delay), she has signified that under present circumstances she cannot, whatever may be the mo tive, deliver those fugitives whom the Sublime Porte demands by virtue of treaties, and because she con siders that delivery essential to the re-establishment of tranquillity. With regard to the Greek nation, which is forming imaginary projects of creating a country, and rendering herself independent, she has begun by a revolt in the two Principalities, and in some other districts, from the Ottoman Empire. As at this moment she continues to hoist the standard of insurrection, and to e*rry on war in different Pro vinces, the Sublime Porte, in the sole view of main taining good order in her State, and in order to re store public tranquillity, proceeds to chastise the re bels according to the dictates of necessity, the rights of sovereignty, and the interests of her internal affairs. In this state of things, it would be highly inconve nient to withdraw the Ottoman troops from Walla chia and Moldavia, and to appoint and send Princes thither; for those Provinces would then become an asylum and refuge for traitors and for robbers. However this may be, it would appear that the end of Russia, in setting up this pretension, is to oL tain the countenance of Europe in acting at her own discretion. The point, as it affects the Sublime Porte, is replete (and this is clear as the day) with every species of inconvenience, both as it touches upon civil or national relations, or as it concerns those of law and of religion. It is a matter which may, perhaps, as has been already seen by the communications which have taken place by command of the Sublime Porte, lead again to disturb that tranquillity which it is so desirable to establish, and to invade her au thority and rights. The Sublime Porte hastens, then, sincerely to de clare to her Allies who wish for general tranquillity, and who recognise as just the obvious reasons for which she delays her assent upon this point, at least for the present, that since it is announced that Russia cannot surrender fugitives, whatever be the motive, all which the Porte can do, and this only in the view of preserving peace with Russia, and out of respect to the friendly representations made by the Court of England on this subject, is to postpone her just de mand with regard to refugees. But on the point of evacuating the two Principali ties, and of appointing there two Princes afresh, as the Greeks have revolted with the avowal cf an in tention to deliver Greece, as they are now in open insurrection in various places, and as the first rebel lion took place in the centre of Wallachia and Mol davia, it is impossible at present, or until the revolt is subdued, either by the punishment of the rebels, or by their submission and appeal to clemency—ima pcssible whilst the Sublime Porte remains unsatisfied that there is nothing to be apprehended from their part—to name two individuals as Princes amongst them, or to confide to them the administration of two rich and fertile provinces, forming a part of his High ness's hereditary States. Nobody can doubt that the Court of Russia, by persisting in her demand upon this point—a point al together incompatible with the internal regulations of the Sublime Porte (and this is also as clear as day), pursues a course contrary to the tights of Nations and of Governments. It is possible, then, in the last resort, to modify this affair after the following manner; to wit, that until the rebellion ceases, the Sublime Porte shall retain possession of the two provinces, by Officers whom she has there established, with such a number of troops only as may suffice for their protection against de predators, and without the . slightest molestation of the Raja hs ; that she will relinqui s h to the Greeks those affairs which concern the principalities, and which are now directed by the Caimacans,who are also Greeks ; and that at present the evacuation of the provinces, and the nomination of Princes, be deferred. As to the subject of Churches, which is one el the points under discussion, there will be no objection as soon as the revolt shall be subdued, to their repara tion and re-construction, as far as the law will per mit, in whatever way they may have heen injured. In what regards the free exercise of the Christian Religion, the Sublime Porte, as in time past, has never said aught against its exercise. The punislinreuti me confined to individuals who, in open rebellion, refused the amnesty ; and it is known that inutoetion iy extended to thu4e ‘‘h4.• have net raised the standard of revolt. As soon as , shall cease, punishment will cease. The g re , care is shewn, as formerly, to distinguish .the it cent from the guilty, even to the extent that (althg, it is well known the conspiracy is general) Greeks are protected, as formerly, who have not tually raised the standard of revolt. All this Ix; generally known, and your Excellency agreeing a , the truth of the facts, it is superfluous here t o 1 , them. It would inspire pleasure to think that, R. the friends of the Sublime Porte, listeniniz i ih spirit of moderation to her just complaint s n n points abovementioned, which she has proved founded in justice, and conformable to national t; g :, : equity, and truth, avow such without hesit,ri o „ ; the Court of Russia, on her part, will obs?rv e is due to right and justice. In this hope the Porte prays the Court of England, whose rood-, towards both parties cannot be doubted, that in ing all the means which sincere friendship and justi require, she would employ her good offices to smooth the way to a final arrangement of the difr existing between the Sublime Porte and the Ct , i:rt Russia. With this object the present Note has ti drawn up, and transmitted to your Excellency Ambassador of England.

ROBERT PEEL, PRINCIPAL SECRETARY OF STATE TOE THE HOME DAPAZTAILvT. National Vaccine Establishment, Percy -sate; January 31, 1822. Six—Vaccination has now been submitted to the test darotb. year's experience, and the result is an increase of our cunfid. in the benefits of it. We are happy to say, that it ai , p,arts have been practised more extensively than it was, norwiihsu - ins the influence of exaggerated rumours of the frequent occi fence of Small Pox subsequently on the minds of some {terse and the obstinate prejudices of others, who still continue to ado i , Inoculation for that disease. The unavoidable consequence n the latter practice is to ►upply a constant s ource of infection, arA to put the merits of Vaccination perpetually to the sever st trial Of Small Pox, in the modified and peculiar form winch assumes when it attacks a patient who has been previous:v cinated, many cases indeed have been reptAted to us in thtl course of last year, and some have fallen within the spuere our own observation; but the disorder has always run a sztti course, being uniformly exempt frcm the secondary fever, which the patiel4dies most commonly when he dies of Small 1'07.1 For the truth of this assertion we appeal to the tesriny ny ct the whole medical world. And fur a proof that the numba of such cases bea's no proportion to the thousands who have pr fited, to the fullest extent of security, by its protecth4 iriluenct we appeal confidently to all who frequent the Theatres at crowded Assemblies, to admit that they do ant discover in rising generation any ►onger that disfigurement of the Lunt face, which was obvious everywhere tome years To account for occasional failures, of which we redih the existence, something is to be attributed to those anti, which prevail throughout Nature, and which the Physician of serves, not in some peculiar constitutions only, but in the constitution at different periods of life, rendetiug tht hum.ti &a: at one time susceptible of disorder from a mere chunge of t. wind, and capable, at another, of resisting the mo,t and subtle contagion. But amongst the most frequent A, , u:c es _ . failure which have occurred, and will for some time continue occur, is to be numbered that careless facility with which un: ful benevolence undertook to perform Vaccination iu the eat years of the discovery ; for experience has taught us, that a inquiry into the condition of the Patient to be vaccinated, attention to the state of the matter to be inserted, and a vig: observation of the progress of the vesicles, on the part of the ni rator, are all essentially necessary for its complete success. That less enlightened parents should hesitate to accept a n• stitute for Inoculation, which is not perfect in all its pretensiot. and absolutely and altogether effectual to exempt the objects c their solicitude from every future possible inconvenience, d-es not surprise us: but we cannot forbear to express our untieal' fled reprobation of the conduct of those Medical Practitioners, who, knowing well that Vaccination scarcely occasions the slightest indisposition, that it spreads no contagion, that in very large proportion of cases it affords an entire security a,;...inst Small Pox, and in almost every instance is a protection ag..inst danger from that disease, are yet hardy enough to per,aere rw recommending the insertion of a poison, of which they pretend to anticipate either the measure or the issue (tor Lo cernment is able to distinguish those constitutions wht,::) admit inoculated Small Pox with safety) ; and there arc i.• families so dangerously affected by all the eruptive disea, they fall into imminent hazard in taking any of them. mark has a particular application to Small Pox. A family lost its two first born children of dr.: Snr.:l inoculated by two of the most skilful Surgeons of the nor is it improbable that the parents might have had to lame::: the loss of more children, under the same formidable diac2se, if the promulgation of the protecting influence of Vaccination ls,d no! happily interposed to rescue them from the consequences of repetition of the fatal experiment. Of their remaining chikiren, one took the Small Pox after Vaccination, and went throtr;lt in that mild and mitigated form which stamps a ea:::e upon thii resource, as real in the eye of reason and sound plsiiosoeliy, zs whets it prevents the malady all together. We have contended, Sir, for this its merit with all :he rit•wel of our understanding, and with all that just and fair yretensicr. Ito convince others, to which we are entitled, by being firmly art sincerely convinced ourselves. Nor shall we relax in our & •r. to promote its adoption, but continue to exert the infiue%ce which the benevolent designs of Parliament, in establishing this Board have given us, for extending the benefits of this salt:tart practise. That the blessing is not yet absolutely perfect we are rea.:: t3 l admit ; but when we compare it with inoculation for the Sr:Ji I'ox, the only alternative, we have no hesitation in statini, the comparison affords an irresistible proof of its superior ci.:ims to regard ; for we learn from ample experience, that the tic:n:':-T of cases of Small Pox, in the safe forni which it is fouril tJ sume after Vaccination, is by no means equal to the numter deaths by Inoculation ; an evidence quite irrefragable, and, as l` appears to us, decisive as to the incalculable advantages of the practice of the first over that of the latter method. The number of persons who have died of Small Pox tLii vet:: within the Bilk of Mortality is only 508; rot more than me thirds of the number who fell a sacrifice to that disease the ye.:r . before : ;tad as in our last Report we had the satidaction of stating that more pet soLs had been vaccinated chain; the re ceding than in any former twelve months, we flatter ours•lves that this diminution of the number of deaths truth Small r:s may fairly be attributed to the wider diffusion tit Vaccination..
