WI ra .. '7" tual preventative. Their authority in the state was ' delegated to them by a superior power, for pur poses supposed at the time to be wise and proper; bat the case was altered when it was seen that these purposes we►c defeated, either by the negli gence or insufficiency of the delegates. Violence and abuses were in some measure organized in Nottingham. There had been a sort of perma nent tribunal sitting there for some years, srtperin• tending all the popular proceedings. They had a cant phrase of sending Punch to visit the person whom they c lisidered as adverse to them. If a man was obnoxious to this tribunal, they threatened to send ram:b to him, and the effeet of this was, sometimes ducking the parties, and outrageously attacking and plundering their out-houses, gardens, &c. so that anther the lives, safety, nor property Of the inhabitants could be considered as secure. Be sides other fatal occurrences, one person was known to have Wee killed; again,t this there was no re dress to be expecled, nor perhaps in the power of the Magistrates to bestow. The recommendation of the Committee resulted from these known fails; and t:w questipn was, whether things should be suffered to reraata so ? The observation, that the country Magistrates might have no more power than those of Cu: town, he did not think could carry any force, because thy had not been yet tried; and he con f:ssed that, for himself, he expeaed great assistance from them, particularly as thly would be enabled on any occasion, to employ the pew comita:ur. Mr. FOX explained, that much of what he said was provoked by the stnnag assertions of one Hon. (;entlenian ('ttr. Pierrepoint), whose language was certainly such as to have the cifea of Lrirarnating the Nlagistrues. Mr. IRA ELAND obser►ed, the measure now preposel seas evidently necessary, as the power of the Magistrates of the town was extremely limited, and the rioters mad►, by lnly removing a few paces, gt t out of their junsdiilion. Leave was their given to bring in the Bill. Mr. BROWNE stated, that his wish was, that the further cortsideratiou of the Report should be deferred to this day week ; and that the Bill, after being brought in, should be printed, to give time and opportunity for mature consideration. STATE 01 THE NATION. Mr. PATTEN adverted to a notice he had given before the recess, of his intention to propose an en qitiry into the Sete of the Nation, which Gentle men would recoiled to have been conditionally. The country still remained in the same unset tled state ; but the language yesterday Made use of by a Right Honourable Gentleman (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) had embarrassed him in his intentions, as there was reason to expect a speedy communication. He therefore wished to postpone, in the hope of some such information, his notice of a motion for an enquiry ihto the State of the Nation to Tuesday next. Mr. J. H. BROWN'''. then brought in the Bill for the preservation of the Freedom of Eledion in Not tingham, which was read a first time. Mr. FOX said, he trusted the Hon. Gentleman would have no objedion to allow a further extent of time far the second reading of the Bill, if the C3r poration of Nottingham had any Petition to present against it. He was averse to the postponing of the Wilt fir a new Elelion, but be was confident that reasons sufficiently strong would appear to retard tae progress of the Bill respeding the condud of the magistracy of Nottingham. The Bill was then ordered to be read a second time this dose'nnight, and to be prince.!. COTTOY MANTiFACTOR Y. Mr. HORROCKS rose to state, that as the Ac• counts he had the honour to move for, relating to the Cotton Trade, were now upon the Table, and there being other accounts materially connected with this sub, and on which he intended to fix the basis of those propositions, he meant afterwards to submit to the consideration of the House, beg ged leave to move, That there be laid before the ifrouse an account of the quan tity of Cotton-Yarn and Twist lin;iorted into this conntry from jailia, Innis the year 1750 to lien inclusive ; distinguishing each year; An account of the qaantity of India CottoniYari, and Twist, cs ported from this country from the year 1750 to 1190, inclusise; di.tingui.lsing each year, and the several countriw to which they were e .I.)rted.

No foreign intelligence has been received these two days.—The favour able change in our Funds is therefore to be attributed to internal circumstances and idormation.—The War Department., are observed to have abated their aCtivity ; and Mr. ADDINGTON'S statement in the House of Commons is universally considered of a pa cific nature.—Mr. ParTes, last night, in the House of Commons, deferred his Motion upon the State of the Nation until Tuesday next, in order td give time to the Minister to make his promised connuu nication. We understand a Messenger is hourly ex pelled from France with the assent of the FIRSTCO set to our IThimatiot, and that it was in the confi dence of his speedy arrival with such favourable answer Mr. Anorsoros promised an early com munication upon the subjed. The examina tions taken before the Nmmissioners in Ireland, upon the University of Dublin Petition, have been received, and will be taken into consider ation by the Committee on Monday. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India Honse, which adjourned at six o'clock till Wednesday next. Lord GRENVILLE is now at Dropmore. Lord Natsott's command has long been ar ranged, and no change at the Admiralty Board will etre& it. The Mediterranean will be his station, hut he probably will not go unless there is a certainty of war. A Camp will be formed in the neighhourhood of Brighton, which will contain ten thousand men at least. A number of seamen have lately embarked from the port of Dunkirk for Brest, to expedite the fit tinZ out of the ships at that port. Mr. Pi TT returned to Walmer Castle as soon as the negotiation between him and Mr. ADDINGTON had broken off. The Duke of YORE holds this day a Military Levee at the Horse Guards. Millbav barracks, at Plymouth, are to be occu pied by the Devon Militia. The Privem Uarlotte, of 4O guns, is ordered to he paid off at Plymouth : she will he commissioned again dire ttly by her present commander, the Hon. Capt. F. GARDNER. We understand that his Excellency J. Moriltos has been appointed American Ambassador at this Court. He is now at Paris, and is expected in London in about ten days. By letters just received from America we learn, that JEFFERSON and PAINE have disagreed, and that the latter has been discarded. The remains Of General DE BAURMYISTER, the Bessian Minister, were last week deposited in the Savoy Chapel. The Grand Jury yesterday threw out the Bill of Indi&ment preferred against Surgeon HE Avistoz, at Hicks's Hall, consequently he was liberated. Yesterday, at one o'clock, Sir R. Foxn attended as Bt. A ites Hotel, to examine the surgeons who at tend Capt. MACNAMARA ; when it appeared upon oath, that notwithstanding he was in a fair way, he was not in such a state as to be removed to New. gue, therefore will remain at the lintel until Friday morning, from whence he will he brought to the Old Bailey, to answer to the charges, &c. We believe that neither Sir WILLTAM KETR, nor Captain /I t axe, the seconds in the late unfortunate duel, have yet surrendered themselves to the Civil Power. Preparations for war still go on in all our ports; hat the circumstance of its being known that no more ships are to be put in commission, confirm • the hopes of peace. • There was a riot in the llbhy at Dm ry-lane Theatre last might ; cards were exchanged by two bloods of the town, and what is remarkable, the Play was the Marriage Promise, and the dispute originated in a breach of that promis , .!.—Tbe house overflowed with a fashionable andience. Should peace continue, we understand no reanc t►on of the army will take place ; v-e mean such a peace as the present. The Guards are augmenting. Every application for raising new regiments has been refused, in consequence of many frauds having been praflised on Government in that branch of service last war.—The applications have been nu merous. 'On the Cd of April, at Copenhagen, a monu ment was solemnly ereeted over the grave of the iaval heroes killed in the battle there v.v.) years ago, in order to perpetuate their memory.

His MAJTSTT also gave a very long audience to Mr. Anniston. Lord Ho B ART had a long pri- vate audience; and the Earl of CHATHA M was for a considerable time in the closet ; so that his Me• rtsr v did not leave St. James's for Buckingham house, till teii minutes before six o'clock. Last night their MAJESTIES and three of the Pa INCESSES attended the Concert of Ancient Musk. Mrs. BILLINCTON was never observed to sing with more taste and science. Messrs. KNIVLTT, HAR RISON, and BA kr LEM AN, were excellent in their re spective parts. Great numbers of persons of the first distinction were present, including the Earls Ux- BittuoE, CHESTERFIELD, and FORTESCUE, the Rcs- SIAN Astoxssxnua, and one of the sons of the late Duke of Ok LEANS. Their MAJESTILs were in great spirits, and retired at a late hour. On Tuesday evening, her MAJESTY had a select party at Buckingham-house ; Ladies AY LL•zisualt and ELY were among those invited.

The Marriage Promise was represented a fonrth time last night, at Drury-lane, before a crowded audience, anti was received with great applause. The Performers are emulous to excel in their respec tive parts, and their emulation produces as correct and animated a performance as we have witnessed for years.

HENLER, from Paris, (Pupil of the celebrated RICHER) whose eccentricity of man ner on the light Rope is infinitely beyond concep tion. His Feats are entirely anginal, nad will perform this Evening for the first time.
