FILLING Till liouss.—Mr. Path having moved the order of the day for a Committee on the Alien Bill, there anise soim. sharp observations as to whose fault it was that the House had been so frequently unfilled, and that so much business was left to be done at the close of the Session.

We thought that all this sickly stuff would come to an end with tt.e death of the old Butterfly merchant of Soho Square. At any rate, if there be people willing to expend money is such a childish way it ought to come out of their own pockets and not out of the sweat of the people. Here are pretty nearly ten thou sand punt a year; enough to maintain all the poor is tea considerable parishes; enough to maintain fire hondred parishes at tea pounds a year a piece. Here goes a thirtieth part of the hop-tax smash. We are for none of your economy and retrenchment gentlemen that applaud the voting of ten thousand a year . upon British Museums. Of the two we would rather see it laid out in sinecures and pensions. It would then, probably, enable some pretty women to dress better, and some bucks to rids better horses; things much more ra tional, useful and honourable to human nature, than malting collections of ear-wigs and of the eggs of ea tee pillars.

The present starving state of Ireland as forming a part of the British Empire, may be considered a judgement on t►e impious end n seed by Pitt and his supporters towards t►e French nation, in the early part of the Revolution of that Government, as stated in the following extract from the History of that t by Desodosrds, vol. 2. p. 440. " Great Britain was glutted with grain i■ 1789 . The Council of Versailles alarmed at the approach of the Famine with which France was menanced, in con sequence of the disastrous winter of 1788, seared Wheat to be purchased in all quarters. Louis the Sixteenth solicited permission to purchase twenty lb d sacks of Wheat in England on his own ac count. The Ministry answered that they could not accede to such a:request without previously submitting the same to the decision of Parliament. The proposi tion of the King of the French was supported with considerable ardour and generosity in the 'House of Commons. It was observed that ►umanity as muc► as the laws of good neighbourhood, required that the re lief in geestioa should be afforded. Poltesey especial ly spoke with such force as to carry with him a major ity, when Pitt after having alarmed the Commons as to the cossequences which such exportation might be attended with, succeeded in obtaining a reference of the proposal to the Privy Council for examination, and the result thereof was a recommendation not"to permit the exportaion of the twenty thousand Sacks . The trilling assistance respected by Louis was not only iebontanly refused by the Court of London, but it was so desirous nine aaaaa the distress of the French People, that a rig proclamation was issued for preventing all frauds that might be resorted to for eluding the prohibition Odle exportation of betbWheat and Flour to France. The English Goverment went even farther. Directions were given to seise in the English Ports the convoys of grain proceed . ng from foreign conntries and destined for France. Io this , m hey flattered themselves that the French Peo ple driven to despair by the horrible ravages of fa• mine, would of themselves burl the French Monarch from the Throne, and that by the convulsioe produced by this revolution, the success of the plans of the Or• leans faction would be favored." • 74 ' )'g,tirptt , . b 11 as ordered to find bail, trial for the assault, - at ' reptile being pot into • icer, it was found to lay • .
