MATZ NW the • I AUCTIONS. • u f very numerous and respectable me e ti ng o f Ma , n cturers, Traders, and Shopkeepers, was assem , Ned yesterday at the Globe Tavern, to consider the piropriety of memorialising the Lords of the Tres (wry for the suppression of the various Auctions 'that are now so prevalent throughout the country. Mr. Beocorx was called to the chair, and stated the nature of the grievance which it was the object of the memorial to abolish. It was not the respectable Auctioneer, but the itinerant, against whom they wished to proceed. In almost every provincial town in EtigliMO, anti especially tit the places of summer resort; it was the practice of these welshing Anc tioneers to hire a room, and sell all the commodities Most in request at such places, to the prejudice and even ruin of the resident tradir. They evaded the statute by renting small tenements from year to year, and thus assuming the character of householders. Inferior articles were thus imposed upon the public under false representations, and a system of fraud was practised which was equally injurious to the ar tisan and the pubic. It was to remedy this ry l that the memorial which would be read was framed, and which proposed various means of regulation with re spect to such auctioneers. French Papers to the I Ith instant, arrived last night, but their contents are not important. They mention an advantage having been gained by BEAU iIARNOIS over the Rns.iatis, but in sn vague a man ner ac not to deserve any attention. Priitc SCUWARTZENDERG, from Vienna, arrived in Paris on the 7t.► instant, and the most active intercourse is carrying on between Narottow and the Ern seror of AUSTRIA, but 110611 K has transpired on the sub ject of their negociations. We, therefore, forbear to speculate upon toe probable issu • of these discus. lions, which, at this moment, are of the utmost im portance to the interests of Europe, and cannot re. mai►t many days undecided. We have some Tea. son to doubt the accession of Denmark to an active to.operation in the common cause, but there is no longer a doubt of the neutrality of that power. A letter has reached us from Copenhagen of the Ist instant, from a most re spectabl• quarter, which represents the Kila to have positively declined declaring against France, but to have expressed a perfect willingness to enter into amicable relations with &riser], so as to secure to his subjects the advantages of the neutral character. Sweden is certainly inclined to act more decisively. The PRINCE REGENT returned to town on Mop day night from Windsor.. Yesterday Viscount CAsTLEREAGit and Cabot MUNSTER had audiences of the PRIRCR aIEeENT.: The . Duke of Yoart transacted military business with the PRINCE REGENT yesterday at Cal Iton House, and afterwards went to his Office in the Norse Guards, and held a Military Levee. The LOUR MAYOR has fixed a Common Hall, for Friday, the 23d instant, to receive the report of the Deputation who waited on the Princess of WALES with the Address from the Livery. There will be a Meeting of the Inhabitants of Southwark, as well as of 'Westminster, to-morrow, to address the Princess of WALES, on the failure of the late atrocious attempts against the character and life of her Royal Highness. A Meeting of the county of Monmouth is appoint ed by the High Sheriff to be held at Usk; Ott 'I hers. day next, to address the Princes of WAw on the death of her Royal Mother, and on the failure of the late attempt against her Royal highness's honour and life. The memorial being read, a Gentleman frotasthe Auction Mart, and Mr. MURRELL, the auctioneer, stated their concurrence with the object of this meet ing, in the suppressiou of so great a nuisance, b u t wished that some conference might be had with the Committee of Auctioneers. . . ' Yesterday, an account was received at the Admi. ralty, of the arrival in port, of a Messenger from Sicily; but who was detained to perform quarantine. Orders were sent for him to proceed to London with out delay. Private letters received yesterday from the French coast inform us, that after the Senate lind voted all I the supplies, they wailed on the Estetaoe, and pe. titioned him not to quit Paris for the army. Whether this was done to give the EMPEROR the opportunity of refusing them, and thereby to prove his con. tempt of personal danger, or to afford him a pre t tenoe for ►rot leaving France, is not explained. In addition to the usual charge of a cannon or carronade, the Americans put into their guns a bag, containing a large quantity of iron balls, about the size of our musket-balls, which bag they use instead of wadding for their cannon; and, when fired, the bag bursts, and scatters like a shower of hail among our men, if at all near. Besides this, they fire from their muskets la large shot, which they call buck shot, weighing one ounce and a half, besides write ping ball. This, when at close. quarters, cuts Op our men ten ibly, and, uuless we resort to the same destructive mode of warfare, our brave tars will not have a fair cuance with such au active enemy. An account has been received that the undermen tioned Indiamen outward-bound arrived off Madeira on the evening of the 18th of February, viz. Essex, Bridgewater, Atlas, Princess Amelia, Rose, Met calfe, Baring, Marquis of Wellington; also the country ships Providence and Clarendon, under convoy of the Davtaius, together with the Brazil fleet, under convoy of theAmilon. At the last interview between the PRINCE REGENT and Earl MOIRA, his Royal Iligh►►ess requested his Lordship's picture,.to place amongst the distinguished characters, whose portraits are exhibited at Carlton House. His Lordship, in consequence, humbly pre sented the whole-length of himself, by LAWRENCE, just finished, which is cow hung up on the left hand of the comlral drawing-room, immediately opposite the finaportraft of the late Duke of BEDFORD. By the President frigate, from the Cape of Good Hope, we learn that the following ships were all well there on the llth January :—Earl St. Vincent, Lord Castlereagh, and DoverCas/k, from Madras ; Prince Regent, from Bengal ; Admiral Gambier, from China; the Thousas from the Mauritius ; and the Kingston and London, from the South Seas.—The above ships may shortly be expected to arrive in Mr. WOOD, of the New Auction Mart, defended his plan of dealing, and defied any one to point out any instance of fraud at his Bales. Mr. WAITUMAN their stated, that at' one of Mr. Wood's sales, he had seen some of his own goods (all of the same fabric) put up at different prices, and as being of different qualities. In proof of the mis chiefs resulting from all such auctions, he mentioned that it one place a piece of linen which had been stolen' from his shop was exposed to sale, brmeans of which he had discovered, that he had in one year been robbed by his servant to the amount of 3001. and the stolen articles bad been disposed of at even respectable auctions. In one week he had traced, at different auctions in and about town, n• less than six hundred pieces of his own goods, which had been put up as foreign goods, the property of a llamborgh merchant. If even respectable auctioneers beetteethe dupes and unconscious itistrilients of such delusion, how important it %yr:is that all those petty auctions should be suppressed, whose very basis was fraud, and whose tendency was to encourage every species of theft and robbery. Some other facts of the same sort were stated by other Gentlemen present ; and a" string of Resolu tions, proposed by Mr. IVArrrisrAsr, was agreed to, expressing abhorrence at the immorality and mischief produced by these auctions. The Memorial to the Lords of the Treasury was then agreed to, and also another Memorial to the Lord Mayor and Common Council. The Gazelle of last night contains an account of an enterprise most judiciously planned, and gal lantly executed, by a party of sea and land forces from Sicily, against Pletra Nola, OQ the oppo. site coast of Calabria.--In this short, but de. cisive affair, fifty armed vessels of the enemy, laden with timber and other articles of value, belong. ing to MURAT, were taken or burnt ; the batteries which covered them were tarried by storm ;,qud a large body of the enemy was driie n , a t th e point of the bayonet, from a strong position on a commanding height, with the loss of 163 prisoners, and nearly the same number killed. The British loss was corn. paiatively trifling, with the exception of Major Simmr, the Commanding Officer of the 75th regiment, who, after acquiring most distinguibhed credit for the able and spirited manner in which he led his troops to victory, was unfortunately killed by a random shot as he was returning in the boat. The extraordinary conversation which took place last night in the House of Commons, between Gen. ; MArnEw and Mr. FITZGERALD, cannot fail to excite considerable interest—an interest not arcing from I the petty consideration of the personal quarrel to which it had nearly given rise, and by which, we lament to say, the attention of the House was en tirely occupied, to the neglect of the infinitely more .31portant considerations of a public nature con ',cowl with the subject. The facts of the case ap pear to be these :—The EDITOR of the axamell &raid had, in the exercise of his independent suffrage as an elector, thou lit proper to vote for General Manus". and his Cvileague, the Candidates in op p:,ition to Government —immediately on this, the advertisements of Government, for which 10,0001. was last night voted by Parliament, were with drawn from that paper, and in addition to this, the goods of the Proprietor were sold to satisfy the de mands of Government, for en arrear of *Waive mut duty, although the most re.pectable security 'vas offered for its payment. To all this Mr. FITZ uERALD asserts that he knew nothing of the fact of this Editor having voted for the opposition Candi dates. Mr. FITLOIRALD appears to be a man hose word it may be dangerous to dispute—but this, at least, is clear, that from the close coin cidence in alma between the two occurrence/ I the Lditor bad no doubt that the one proceeded (rota Sir ROBERT Ken PORTER, who lately brought over dispatches from Petersburgh, is at present engaged in writing a Narrative of the late Campaign in ltussia, illustrated with Plans, &c. of the general movements of both Armies, during their advance and retreat, which will lee published in the course of next month, by Messrs. LONGMAN and Co. The work will con tain information drawn from official sources, and from intercepted French Documents, hitherto un known to the British Public. Sir ROBERT having been on the spot during the whole Campaign, and from his extensive information concerning Russia and Roslian Affairs, we may expect he will given correct and faithful Account of that most interesting period. There is now living in Strathaven, Wm. [tighten, tinker, who was born at Whiteshaw-gate, in that parish, 23d May, 1090, and who of court* entered into the 114th year of his age '23d May last.

While the soldiers were going en board the smacks, one of them stepped let* a public house on the shore, where he called for sell of spirits, and having drank it, he laid a Si. piece on the table, put the mutate of his firelock luto his mouth, and blew out his hrains.

Its currency was es, 80. 4141 teem a. pound of gold of the old standard ) 41 . Nobles were cotnrd r amounting to 141. England. - Extinct of a letter from the blockading squadron off Cherburgh, Aptli ft, 1813:—" The French squa dron are dismantling very fast ; we have no intelli gence what occasions this step, probably to man the batteries on shore, as all the regulars have been marched away. The Galatea, Captain LOSACiL t stood in last evening to reconnoitre within half-gun shot of the strong batteries. but they did not lire a shot at her, which we wondered at, as it was not very li g ht ; and probably they imagined we had as attack in view s yet there was uothkui sear aweigh to try for." . _ .t .

BONAPARTE is wholly occupied in measures at Lome to reinstate his at my, careless of the - present • fate of tose item.ntse prosinces from the confines of Russia to the baek, of the Ellie, which in hi, flight he abandoned to Cie conquerors: Like a wounded whale, he has plueged to at, undiscoverable depth, to disengage himself ft - mit the harpoon that sticks in his side, but while. be is yr:Mowing below he is re. cruititig his Strength, and may be expected, ere long, to re-asceud to the surface, and " tempest the (wean." Whether his Russian pursuers Will he enabled to stand before him, or whether ra storm he will then raise may not be as destructive to them as their 44 frightful climate" was to him, a few weeks will probably shtsti: 'The spell of his invincibility, how ever, is broken: Checks and repulses' he had met with repeatedly twitilsatiguitiary career,but he never lost a whole tivntr, he never miscarried at the end of e whole caMpaign before. • It is now tetu years since the peace of Amiens was broken, mid the 64 everlasting war," or the 46 war to extermination," as it was furiously characterized by some of its early advocates, was revived after a brief and delusive suspension. In that long interval we cannot rEmninpre one individual in autho r key, ex cept the late r. V o, Who eter Manifestrdwi'desire fetpeace, in the forgiving, forbearing, and coefiditer spirit of peace. Professions of the kind have abound ed from the lips of most of our Statesmen, but they have feared the enemy too much 16 trust him with an opportunity of over-reaching them in negoeiatinn, or perfidiously violating a solemn treaty. By degrees the nation itself has been reconciled to war as the slave is reconciled to his toil, and the prisoner to his fetters,—from apathy, if hot from despair. Every year those miseries have have been mul.iplied, and those burthentrazgravated, which are the natural fruit of perseverance *in a course of violence and hostility.
