After some ob servationo made by the ,Noble Earl, Lord Hawarsanav informed him, fl int as far av he tiiuld ascertain the fact, he did not ltelicve any such answer as that which the Noble Lord alluded to did exist. It was therefore futile to en ti,okroor to obtain it, and he hoped their Lord ship,' goon seine would at once prompt then to save the House the trouble of ,deciding that which it was evident could be decided but one way. Lord Ilot tamp contended, that the motion: had been so far productive of information to this house, that it was now apprised to answer had been official ly given on the subject. Even this, he thought, it might be at a future period advantageous to the House to be acquainted with. _ _ After a few words, delivered by Lord limo au the propriety of the motion of the Noble Cord, acting under the conviction, that information might have been given to the House on the suWert, the question was put, and negatived without a di vision.—Adjourned.

The Motion was then agreed to. ORDERS IN COUNCIL. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the order of the day, fur taking into consideration the report of this Bill. A couversution then took place on the various chiuses of this Bill, between Lord HENRI' PETE% Mr. ROSE, Mr. ALEX•NDER BARING, Mr. Enra, Mr. Pussosav, the CMANCELLOD of the FURE QUER, and Sir Jour NeWPOILT.—The Right Hon. Baronet argued at lengths against the operation of those Orders in Council, and contended, that great injury was likely to arise to the linen trade of Ire land, from the effeet they would have upon Ame rica. There was an important branch of trade in this country also, likely to lw effected by them, namely, the silk trade. There was nut, he under stood, morethau sis weeks supply of the raw. ma terials at 'hand, and if a supply was not speedily o! :slued, Sixty Thousand oleo, occupied in this line, would be out of employment. The Custoent.i.oa of the EXCHEQUER contend ed, that the Orders in Council did not operate against the supply of Ras-seed to Ireland. With respert to the silk trade. the materials for that was supplied from the Mediterranean and the East Indies—the supply from Italy was not obstructed by the Orders in Council, but by the prohibition of the enemy. If any thing could di ' 'sh these evils, it was acting up to the spirit of these Inca- . sures. The seve', clauses were then agreed to, and the Bill ordered to be read i third tiu►e on Thursday.

NAPLES, FES. I. Our town has been thrown into the (*toucan con sternation, by a dreadful catastrophe. lu the night between the 29th and 30th of January, a wing of the iialace of Mr. Sallieetti, Minister of War and Police, tumbled down, through the explosion of a quantity of gunpowder; the room where the ,Minister was has been preserved, unda maged, by a kind of miracle, but he was wounded while hustening to relieve his daugh ter, the Duchess Leveller, who was found with her husband amidst the ruins. She is severely wounded, but hopes are entertained that the con sequences of that accident will prove Lela dangerous than was at first supposed. A 'errata lost his life int the occasion. Inquiries are already set on foot to discover the authors of that horrid deed ; the apothecory of the late Queen, who was implicated in the lute conspiracy, and received. the King's pardon, has been arrested. This man had a shop near the Pal aee of M. Salieetti, and suspicions are entertained of his having collected a large quan tity of gunpowder in the cellars, which were sepa rated from those of M. Salicetti merely by a par tition-wall. The building which coliniined the tlitfereist war offices has been rendered uninhabita ble by the explosion. THE BRITISH PRESS.
