It desires peace ; it has need of it ; it must be confirmed by its amicable relations with you : it can have none, it never can have any, with the Man who pretends to go vern you. A fatal infatuation may have made the French soldier forget for a moment tl:e laws of honour, and have Extorted a per jnry bon: him. An ephemeral power, supported by all kinds of way have misled some Magistrate into the path of error: hut this power totters, soon it Will wholly disappear.

'ER. 435 On the , econd reading of the Pillory Abolition Bill, Lord ELLEN. BortouGH was against the entire revocation of this ancient pubish ment, considering that in eases of gross perjury, and other iosiane, of deep and complicated frauds, the pillory was • cly properly app!ied. The Lord CHANCELLOR argued on the same side, and thought the Bill had better be postponed till next Session. The Earl of LIVERPOOL was of the same opinion, and expre d a WWI that the Judges should be required to draw up a Bill, skew - ing what crimes they regarded a• being fit to be punished by the pillory. He concluded with recommending that the Bill should, stand over to the next Session, which was agreed to. ' A number of Bills from the Commons were advanced a stage without discussion.—Adjourned. THURSDAY, JULY 6. The Royal Assent was given by Commission to several public and private Bills, among which were the two Exchequer )li►is Bill•, Christie's Divorce Bill, the County Blidges Bill, and Cole's Di vorce Bill. The second reading of the Newspaper Stamp till being moved, Earl Stanhope said, that the additional duty on ad vet tisements was such as he could not agree to. So far from yielding any incteaso of revenue, lie was persuaded it would operate in a contrary way. It would also have a tendency to di•coutage that great source of information, the public press, the liberty of which was so important to a free country. Ile should oppose that enactment when the Bill went into a Committee. FRIDAY, JULY 7. The Agent General's Reettlatinn Bill. the Consolidated Fund Bill. the Irish Militia Pay Bill, the Local Militia Amendment Bill. the Bill to prevent frauds in tho manufacture of Skins, the Seantan'4 Enconracement Bill, the captured Slaves Provision Bill, and the Copyhold Estates Bill, were read a third time and passed. NEWSPAPER STAMPS. On the committal of the Bill fur imposing aft additional duty upon Newspapers and Advertisements, Lord STANHOPE observed that the tendency of this measure would be such as he presumed the Minister could not desire, namely, to increase the public burthens, and to diminish the revenue. This might appear paradoxical ; but he remembered a similar ewe some years ago, when an additional duty was imposed upon spirit., he (Lord Stauhope) ventured to foretel that the effect of the new dirty. would be to reduce the revenue upon spirits generally, and ulna was the result? Why. that this revenue full off to the amount of between 2 and 300,0001. in consequence of which reduction. Mr. Pitt hitd the additional duty repealed; although he (Lord Stanhone) Was, in the first instance, laughed at thr his predictions. He hail no doubt that in predicting the consequence of the Bill tsudcr con sideration, he should be found equally arem ate as in the eiln• hided to, whatever attention might be paid to him at present. Tl.e Noble Lord concluded with moving as an amendment the omission of these words—" or inserted in any other newspapers." The am , rdment was negatived, and the several clauses wele agreld to.
