gIIMIU ..-- -IE , - - WAREHOUSE BILL TO Tilt EDITOR. • • Truro,•March 31, 1823. Stn,-1 have perused, wiib considerable attention. the Warebouse Bill now under the consideration of Parlia ment, which, if passed into a law under its present provi sions, will permit goods and merchantlize, of various descriptions. including Copper and Tin, to be imported into the United Kingdom of °Nat Britain and Ireland, and again exported free from Duty to any foreign coun try, except one plantations and coluniea in America, and the West Indies. This Bill appears entirely Calculated for the benefit of the maritime and mercantile interes s of the ports of London, Liverpool, and other places, where Bonding Warehouses may he established ; amd such fo reign States as have been heretofore supplied with Bri •tieti goods and merchandise - , but it mint appear evident, that in proportion as these States may be thus supplied with toreign articles, at a lower rate than British goods'' ands anufactores can be rendered, the demand for the latter must decline; and as the sopply of there countries find employment for a considerable portion of the labour ing poor of this Empire, the passing of the Bill by the Legislature engrosses great attention; and it is by no Mean. a twitter of surprise that the design should have to under the consideration of Parliament, three differ ent Sessi,n., without having yet reached the House of Lords. who being the chief guardians of the Landed In. tereet of the country, will, it is presumed, be extremely cautious in sanctioning a measure which, in its conse nnences, must throw a vast nnmber of persons oat of em ployment, end o blige them to reek relief for themselves and families, from the parishes already orerburthened, although from the natural dispositions of the labouring chases of this country, they would rather earn their bread by the sweat of their brow, than live on the bounty of others. That the evils described are not chimerical • is etinseel by the attention bestowed thereon by the IVoollen, the Linen, and Silk maoufactureri, who are usirg every means in their power to he exempted from the provisions of the Bill; in which the lifining concern, having a due regard to their own interest might to unite; for that they are deeply interested in the measure maybe fairly inferred from the price of copper having fallen snore than 8 per cent. 'art year, when this Bill made its appearance in Pal liament ; from its continuing very low during the whole time it was ander c onsideration, and again rioting toils former height when the Bill was with drawn ;•ard from the Standard having again fallen greatly since the Bill made its appearance this Session.

Wiiliam eon, was burnt down, end every thing within, end connect ed with the tuilding, was totally consumed. The mill was set, es usual, at eight o'clock in the evening, the lights safe ly extinguished, and all appeared in perfect security when the family went to bed. At half-past H o'clock the flames were discovered by Mr. Scott of Beauchamp, from his win dow, about a mile distant. who immediately sent two of his men on horseback to alarm the family and neighbour hood ; but nothing could be saved, as the roof b edy only s ti the me had fallen in. Very little stuff was destgo y . yarn and prepared flax of the preceding day. The lire is supposed to have been occasioned by friction. The proper ty. we understand, is insured. Dormer, APRILS.—The labours of the husbandmen are In a considerable state of forwardness in our neighbour hood ; and in many cases the s eed has been committed to the gretind. Ploughing has not yet begun in the Olen of Ogilvy. The fields for the most part are still covered with snow ; and the farmers are m aking furrows am ongst it to assist the .11011 of the sun and wind. Between the commencement of the !Me storm mid Satur day last, a small farmer in the parish of Fowits lost by dis ease the whole of his live stock—from his horses and cows down to his hens and ducks. On Saturday night, a one-pound forged note of the Dun dee Bank, was presented by a boy for change.at a shop in tne High Street. The note s . as detected ; and the boy be leg asked wh, re he got it, dhe would bring the man y who gave it to him. lie was allowed to go. but he did not fled itiwneen to return. Several notes of the name forgery eiPs offered at v arious places of the town. The ris extremely well executed. The names of the cashier and eccountant are engraved, ani then traced over with a pen, On Friday or Saturday. James Cameron and Walter Ora hem, two well known characters belonging to Dundee, were apprehended at Berelin, on a charge of issuing forged notes. Cameron had in is possession a letter from his brother Alexender, who is i s dicted along with limes, an accomplice, to stand his trial for the same offence at the Perth Circuit,' developing a plan by which they proposed, with his assist ance. to break through Forfar gaol on Tuesday were night. After this opportone discovery, a party of horsemen stat ed to guard the gaol till the removal of the prisoners. A Highlander entered a haberdasher's shop the other day, and asked for a piece of scarlet cloth to make bite a wsistcmt. The rustic manners of the Gael set some young %tome', wan were at the counter a giggling; and the shopman, willing to affird theist sport, began to play off his small wit up on the stranger. "so, goad man, ye want a piece of scarlet ? Would you know scar leeer. t if The volt saw it ?" I tink I *cod," replied the Mountain ehopman threw down a piece of blue cloth: " Is that searlet?" " Hout 113,_ no ! that no be i t ." A p iece of gree n cloth was pro duced; the same question was re-, rated, and received a similar answer,—to the great smusrment of the querist and his female friends, who' • were at no pains to conceal their mirth. The High.lander took revenge in his own way: He put Isis nose to the cl .th, and affected to judge of the colour by the smell. The shopman, at his request, did the same; but the in• stant he bent bis nose towards the c4unter, the High lander seized bin' by the ears, and made his nasal prom her rose corn* in such violent contact with the hoards, tat the blood sprungsaid the High lahnder, "is ta colour sa' sc arlet tae ye nett, lad ;"--and he wallvd away. On Saturday, Mr Smith, Excise-officer, Super Angus, having town. apprized of a concealment of one linndred ankers of whiskey on Cairnso'-Mount, set out with a par• of the Scots Greys to levy war upon them for the wine's use. On arriving at the place, they found their isttratled prize guarded by forty armetHighbndmen , who showed no dispo'iiiOn to surrender the whole of their charge, .though they offered the invading party a free-wi offern of forty ankers. The offer was reected, an th e DragOonsg were ordered forward ; but, fr o nt the depth of the snow, there was only one pass which could be entered, and it was so narrow as only to admit of a single borsemsn advancing at a time. dismounted tie who by le o ne of d the van the attack, was s peedily the Gramm; and the King's servants, thus convinced of the impossibility of making a seizure, now offered to accept the forty ankers. The cougglers, aware o f their advantage. refused to comply, but made them a compli ment of nine ankers, with which they departed.

COLLECTIVE CATECHISM. The Collective meet the day after tomorrow. it is thought, that the " gentlemen opposite" will be rather divided, as to the c ourse which they shall pursue with re gard to the Bourbon War. Mr. Brougham, after what be said at the beginning of the Session, cannot very well remain silent, and see the Bourbons actually at Madrid. Yet, what is he to propose ? For the Stock jobbers are for peace! lie has the Morning Chronicle against bitn, if he breathe war; and, if the co ntrary, he isfor the Mi nisters! What is h e to do, then ? Will he, when he comes to see the Verona negociation papers, find fault with Mr. CANNING ? Will he say, that a tone sufficient& vigorous was not used? This is what the Chronicle is paving the way for now. We doubt, however, whether Mr. Brougham will venture on this mode of attack. In the whole kingdom there is not a man to found, to say that big talk co uld have done any good be , big, vague talk. To talk of rcui• might have been of use. But, will Mr Brougham venture to say, that to talk of war wonhl have been prudent, unless war, in case of neccssity, could have been made. Then comes the question to he put to Mr. Brougham: can tee go to war? Will he say, yes? Let him then, show os how it is to be dome, without an issue of assig_ mats! Itupossible, and this the Stock-jobbing crew know well. When they bawled against the Holy Allies and so extolled the speech about the " three gentlemen of Verona," they woe in a rage at their loss by Spanish bonds. But, that is over. Those who dealt in the Bonds are donef , r. The thing to he considered now, is the home afiitir ; the power of sucking vp the relit and the fruits of labour. War would destroy this sucker. — It would make another " Bank Kesttiction ;" that would he an open dud avowed bankruptcy. This, the Stock jobbing press, as well as the Stock jobbers in general, know very well ; and, therefore, Mr. Brougham will find them all for peace! This the Government knows very well ; but not better than the French Government has known it from the first. That Government was not blind. It had paid attention to our distresses. It saw, that, without reduced taxes, or without assignats, our landlords must be ruined, and, in short, society broken up. It saw, that to reduce tuxes and to make war at the sane time could not be. It therefore despised the hints of our negociaturs, and it would hate despised their threats. THE STATESMAN . BOURBON WAR. This war is, some say, actually begun! The stock jobbing press, which affects to be friends with the Spa :dards, consoles itself with the reflection, that we shall have to pay no subsidies in this war! This is a curlew% so urce of comfort. The stock-jobbing press says, that the people of France will have cause to remember the cost of this invasion! • How sore we are here ! Yes; cause to remember the cost of it ; but, why should they not get a little in Debt as well as we? We say, that our " Debt is capital ! Why should they not augment their capital? JUDGE BATLEY said, that a national debt Was a blessing. And yet oar stock-jobbing press represents the cost of the invasion of Spain as an evil to the people of France! What a fine nation we are! How much more populous we are than any other! How surpiising our nature, which makes that be a blessing to us, which is a curse to other nations: The Morning Chronicle of to day, says, that, the " Northern Barbarians" will advance to the French frontier, if the French army in vade Spain ; and it adds, that this has created a " great Isensation in the French capital."—For what? Why should it : While our English troops were sent to carry war in Spain, GERMAN TROOPS WERE BROUGHT AND STATIONED IN ENGLAND. Aye,and districts of this famous .•classic ground of liberty''were under the com mand of German Generals, who commanded, observe, the English troops sod even the Militia, in those districts! This they did for years and years; and ae dare say, that some of our readers recollect the occasion when some of these German Troops were brought to superintend the flogging of English Local Militia-men in the town of Ely in England ! —Therefore, Stock-jobbers, though you, in all likelihood, tell a lie, when you say, that the Northern Barbarians are about to line the frontiers of France, while the French Soldiers are invading Spain ; though this be, in all human probability, a lie ; still, let it be true; and then why should it produce" a sen sation at Paris," seeing that the above-mentioned Germans produced no sensation in London ? To be sure, we are a privileged people ; but, really, it is too much to presume, that the French people will be thrown into a ferment of rage by the mere appearance of Germans on their frontier, when it is notorious, that we had them in our country for years and years; and that our Govern ment was all the while, and still is, " the envy of mu " rounding nations and admiration of the world." If our Stock jobbing press be wise, it will say no more about this bringing of Germans to the frontiers of France. 6,741 4,366 5.303 131,540 DU B. Paris papers to the 6th instant have been received which announce the arrival of the Duke d'Angoulente on the 30th nit. at the Head Quarters at Bayonne, where he immediately published the following " Order of the Day" to " the Army of the Pyrenees :" " Soldiers !—1 arrive among you! I have been sa tisfied with the good dispositions which animate you, and with your constancy in supporting the fatigues of a long march during the inclemency of V e season. It will be by the splendour of every military virtue, that you will soon manifest your devotion to the King and to your country. Fidelity, honour, discipline, these will always be the device of the white Hag, under which you e going to fight. (Signed) " Louts ANTOINE. " Head-quarters, ttavonne, March 30, 12523." " By order of his Royal Highness the Commander in Chief of the Army. (Countersigned) " The Alajor-General Count lICILLEIHINO'T." It I,4confidently stated that the French army was to' make its first movement on the 7th (yesterday), and that the corps commanded by the Duke of Reggio (Ondinot) would cross the Bidassoa on the 10th inst. This, it will be observed, is a new day ; but from some accounts it is doubtful whether there bas arrived a sufficient train of waggons to convey the baggage of an invading army.— The only allusion to the conspiracy is in the following paragraph of the Drapeun Blanc of Saturday :—" A letter from St. Jean de Luz says there has been arrested in that town an inhabitant of Bayonne, who followed the business of a l e monade-seller in the place de Gram-' mold. This man was, it is said, in correspondence with the Aide-dc -Camp of General Guilleminot." " Letters from the frontiers of France under date of March 31, say, that there have been recently arrested on the coasts near Calais, several retired officers, who attempted to get clandestinely to England." General Guilleminot, it is obvious, cannot be the object of the least suspicion; as the Order of the Day of the Royal Duke is counter signed with his name, and not with that of Marshal Vic tor. The latter, it is reported, is not in office either at Bayonne, or Paris; and Pigeon, who was thought to be only a temporary substitute, is considered as bona fide War Minister. Tie rumours in the French papers of an intention to demand a further levy of turn, appear to have been well founded. On Saturday, Count Pigeon proposed to the Chamber of Deputies a prqict of law for enabling the Government to call out, in the present year, the contingent of the annual conscription, which would otherwise not be available until 1624 The number is not stated; but is supposed to be 40,000 men, the ordi nary levy of each year. The Minister say., in suplvort of his application, that " it is intlispensal.ly necessary to create, at the commencement of a campaign, reserves proprtioned to the operations uhicli are about to be undertaken." The Augsburg Gazette states, that the quarter of Constantinople called Peru, inhabited by the Christian Ambassadors and the Frank', had been burned, and, it would soon, by design. The number of houses ,destroyed is loosely stated at from 12,000 to '20,000, among them the palace of Lord Strangford. This jour nal, however, is not an authority that should be impli citly relied on. The l'aris Papers of Satutdsy announce that Lord Fitzroy Somerset had arrived there from Ma drid, and that he would set off immediately for London. FRENCH FUNDS, SATURDAY.--FiVe i.er cents. 7SI. 65c., the last money price; and at-half-past three, for the end of the month, 761. 55c.—Bank Stock, 1,460. —Nea politan 5 per Cents, 671. . • Berman papers have arrived this morning, but thy bring no political news of importance. An article from Switzerland states that Count Talleyrand, the FrenchiNlinister there, had been recalled. The Frankfort Journal contains 'a shocking account of a party of e n thusiasts in the Canton of Zurich, one of whom, a young female visionary, pretended that Bonaparte had appeared to her, and had inspired her with a resolution to die, to save some thousands of souls. It is added that. this , S • t apparition the itio r aWationV sever..l fanatic'. who began, in the midst of singing hymns, 'to drive nails into her hands and feet, and prep Ire the young and joyful victim for the sacrifice. The magistrates, being informed, hastened to the spot. Six of the guilty have been arrested, and the investigation is still going on. It is stated that a sister of th's young woman had previously, by Vie means of her brother-i: - law, become a victim to the like horrid delusion. STOCK ENCIIANGe, 12 o'cLor H.—This morning proves very barren of intelligence. No Expresses.have arrived from Paris up to this hour, as on Sundays they seldom despatch Couriers front thence, unless there be snme news of importance. We understand, that a gentleman is arrived in Town, who left Madri d ver y recently , and on his route to Bayonne, was ordered into the . presence rf General Guilleminot, who questioned him in regard to the situation of the Spaniards. lle stated that the greatest energy was displaying in the in terior of Spain, and that the most stealthy inhabitants had joined with those of the inferior classes, to repel the invasion. lie saw some of the first rate merchants quar• tered in various barns with the lower orders. Colon's opened this morning at 74 to 1, at which price they remain, with a heavy market. FOREIGN FUNDL—Spanish Bonds opened at 27/ I, and were done at 41.

John acne,. arrived at Cork on Friday last, after a passage of 30 days from Barbadocs, bringing information that a adore time previous to her leaving that island, a French S , ,lr Boat, from Martinique, had been discovered to be expressly sent there for the purpcoe of recunnoite ing the strength of the British force ou that sta tion. This intelligence bring communicated to Co-- modore Owen, be instantly despatched the Forte Frigate to Martinique, which had returned, bringing intelligence that she had discovered nice French Ships of War con sisting of 74's and 6l's, which were (tally expected to `.s: joined by 3 French frigates of the largest class. Their destination is supposed for the Isle of Cuba. Z VSTE, MARCH S.—The Creek blockade of the C-olf of Corinth still continue*, but of 12 ►esels, which fern the Squadron, only two and a fire ship remain. The blockade kept up by these ship. is merely nominal, as several vessels have entered the Gulf and delivered their cargoes safe. Some English vessels hare arrived at Patras with cargoes of provisions. UnEsT, MARCH 25.—Several frigates are fitting out st this port, among them the Flora, which will sail in a few days. A letter from Madrid of the 24th ult. states, that those Members of the Cortes whose private fortunes were slender, had applied to the Treasury to have the expenses of their journey to Seville defrayed, hut that from the present state of the Spanish finances this request was nor complied with. Letters of the 29th however make no nieniton of the above fart, but state that the Cortes and the Council of State left 'Madrid Cie S ev ill e on the Sill nit. and that all was tranquil in the capital. Private letters front Paris state, that the. Ambassadors of Austria, Russia, and Pressia, arc :o • proceed to the head quarters of the Duke of Aneouleme, for the tor pose of recognizing, on behalf of their respective Go vernments, whatever Regency or Uonstitution May be proclaimed by the Royalists, on their obtaining possession of Madrid. It is added that it is intended to procl I a a Constitution after the aiicient Cortos of Spain. Count blarcellits, the French Charge d'Affaires, went to the Foreign Office yesterday, but not finding Mr. Canning there, set off intinediatly for Gloucester Lodge. Among the curious events of the day, may be reckon ed the appearance of a pamphlet by Louis XVIII.. giving an account of his flight to 'Coldest:: in 1791.—, It describes the mode in which be escaped from the Lut einbourg palace, and relates all the incidents of bisjonr nee till he reached the Austrian territory.
