HOUSE OF LORDS—THvitsoAr, JuLT ?6. The Insolvent Debtors' Bill was read the third time; passed, and sent to the Commons tor their eon( urrence. The Corn Bill was brought up Item the Com mons by Mr. WESTERN and others, and read the first time. . . . Lord HAWK EfiBURY moved that it be printed, and read the second time to-morrow. Earl STANHOPE said, the Noble Secretary of State had, on a former night, expressed a wish that Noble Lords woul,i, instead of arguing on ab stract principles, propose some regular system on the Corn Laws. He had since drawn up three Re solutions, containing a regular system on that sub let%) which he intended to submit to the House be tore the debate on the Bill. Lord HAW KESBIJ RY said, as the Session was so far advanced, he hoped the House would hare no objection to meet-to-morrow an hour sooner than usual. Earl STANHOPE objected to this, on the ground that Noble Lords were used to ripe& that no business of importance would be discussed before five o'clock ; and it might happen, that Noble Lords might come down and find the debate over. He therefore hoped, the Noble Lord would he con tent to eat his dinner an hour later. the LORD CHANCELLOR, having left the Woolsack, said it might not be known to the Noble Earl, that, early in the Session, it was agreed to commence business at half-past four o'cl , ,ck ; and, therefore, his with was anticipated. Ear TANHOPE said he WAS glad to find that half-past four, and four o'clock were the same thing. However, that his propositions might he beard by as many of their Lordships as pleased to attend ; he bad no objedion to make his resolutions the se cond dish instead of the first ; and therefore he should bring torward his propositions immediately after, instead of before, the debate on the second reading of the Bill Adjourned to to-morrow. HOUSE OF CX)MMONS. Mr. STURGESS IPUittit 4ewed. tat a new writ be issued far a Member to serve is Parliament. for the Bosough of ple, in Devonshire, in the room of Sir Edw!t i ara, Bart. who has ac cepted the Chiltern Hundreds. Ordered. Mr. HAWTHORNE moved, that certain ac counts relative to the Duties on EXcise and Cus- I toms in Ireland, which had been moved' for on a former day, hut were not yet presented, be laid be fore the Ilouse, within the first seven {Lys of the nest Session of Parliament. Ordered. On the Motion of Mr. Wssrt.ars, the Corn Bill was red a third time and passed ; and immediately sent tip to the Lords. A Messaae from the Lords informed the House. that the Lords had agreed to the Irish Revenue Fees and Colleaion Bill; and the Bill for the Re lief of Insolvent Debtors, with certain amendments. Mr. P 1 1T moved, that the House, at its rising, do adj..urn till Saturday. Ordered. Mr. PITT then moved, that :in humble Addersc he presented to His Majesty, beseeching him, that he would be graciously pleased to order the •sum of 1,2001. to be advanced to Henry Alexander, Esq. as a compensation for his services during the present Ocaslon of Parliament, as Chairman of the Corn s mitikes of Ways and Mesas; and eltsflfirii miss et Commons would make good the same. Ordered. Mr. PITT next moved similar addresses, praying His Majesty to grant the following rums, viz. such a sum of money to Jeremiah Dyson, Esq. Clerk Assistant of that House, as, if added to the fees and emoluments already arising from his office, would amount to the sum of 21001. being a com pensation for his services during the present Session of Parliament ; the sum of 10001. to John H. Lea, Esq. Second Clerk Assistant of that House, for his services, &c.; to John Clementson, Esq. late Serjeant at Arms of that House, such a sum as, if added to the fees and emoluments of his present office, would make good the sum of 5001. Mr. PITT next moved, that the Journals of that House, with an Index attached thereto, be ptinted. Ordered. He then moved an Address, to grant the sum of 5101. to the clerk of the journals, for making out an index to the same. An Address, praying His Majesty to order such compensation as His Majesty should think fit, , c) the several Clerks attending i ommirtees of the House, during the present Session of Parliament. Mr. PITT said, he had to move another aim, which, when the great utility of its ohjeft was con sidered, he hoped no gentleman would objeft to. He then moved, that an humble address be present. ed to His Majesty, praying that His Majesty would be graciously pleased to order the sum of 50001. to be advanced to the Institution for preventino the spreading of Malignant Fevers, and other Conta gious Distempers in the Metropo lis.; Mr. WILBERFORCE said, that the address hail his most hearty concurrence. The institution to which it was to be advanced, was one that would produce the happiest and most beneficial effefts. In the last century, the number of three thousand per sons used sometimes to die durimfthe course of a• year, in the Metropolis, of contagious distempers ; and now, in consequence of the institution in ques tion, the deaths were so few, that the most sanguine hopes were entertained that the malady would be wholly exterminated. The several addresses were agreed to, and or dered to be presented by ouch Members as were of His Majesty's Privy Council. On the motion of Mr. Alderman COWIE, the Lords amendments in the Insolvent Debtors Bill were ordered to be taken into consideration on Sa turday next.—Adjourned to Saturday. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PAM, JULY 14 The Jews at Metz have sung a hymn in their Sy nagogue, in honour of Bonaparte's ascension upon the Imperial Throne, and which is to be continued to be sung on the same day ever afterwaxds. It has been composed by the President of the Legisla tive Body, Foittanes, to whom the Synagogue pre seined in return a diamond ring worth 3,000 livres (1251). Denant and his wife, Verdet, Dubuisson and his wife, acquitted by the Criminal Tribunal, as ac. complices is the late conspiracy, have been sent to Rochefort, and will be transported to the colonies. These persons had lodged most of those conspira tors, who expired lately on the Flace de Greve, and are strongly suspeßed of being in their secrets, and of course dangerous Royalist fanatics. Under Fto berspierre, they would never have escaped the guil lotine, and have therefore no season to complain of their present treatment. As an evidence of our pre•ent rerginn, tolera tion, or rather, we fear, of our indifference about all religious notions; they write from Sarburgh, that, when the Bishop of Nancy lately visited his diocese, he was received in the borough of Don neley in the most respeefful manner. by twelve young girls, who threw Bowers in his passage. Phis reception was prepared by the Mayor, and this Mayor is a Jew, whose two daughters were among the young girls. He did not compliment the Bishop himsdf, but charged one of the municipal officers, who was lately a priest of the Theophilan th ropists. He invited, however, the Bishop to dinner; and at the table were eight Roman Catholics, nine Jews, two Calvinists, ora• Lutheran, and one young Manseluke, a Mu selmao, educated in the primary school of that place. (.Neared tits Arboregrs). fM Empeaor has appointed Vice-adtr.lral Ve:- heal, Com erthe right wing of the Gallo- Ard ofright • Batavian Flotilla, in plats of It ear-ailmiral Maxon, who, report says, has refused to take" The oath to the Emperor, and who is therefore dismissed the service. 1, 4 It may be judgeof of whil consequence the car= tare of urinam ato the English, when letters farm Paramaribo, to a respectable banking•house at Am sterdam, say, that at the arrival of the English in that colony, it contained coffee enough to laid 800, and sugar enough to fill 4000 large West In diam.-m, nut including other produaions, as cotton, rum, Is it not i shame to all Europe to permit the tyrants of the seas to he the monopolisers of the trade of the universe ? ‘N hen will ail the world IMite against these avaricious and insolent shop keepers ? (Yourial de Puris). Eve_ri where upon the Continent the herveit pro mises te . be very abundant ; and the prices of all the produ&ions of the earth are falling t whilst testes' from England talk of the scarcity as well as of the rise in the prices of all necessaries of life. A round of bread costs in London nine-rencee or eighteen sous; a pound of meat two shillings, and half a crown, or forty eight sous, or three livres ; and the worst wine sells as high as fifteen . shillings, or eighteen livres a bottle. A famine ill well as a bankruptcy is inevitable in England ; if the other European nations were united, and shut their harbours and forbid their sub:leas all comma nication widitreat Britain only for twelve months. That it is both the interest and duty of all other people to starve these proud Islanders to reason. every one may be convinced, who recolleas that their avarice and ambitiJn have &nut bed the peace of the universe ; and that great crimes deserve great and horrible chasti:ements. Their magazines are crowded with the most elegant prodations of India ; but their streets •and high roads are thronged with most numerous, ragged, and starved !senate and robbers of the world ; so much so, that the King has not dared to hang a highwayman, or the Magistrates to - shut up a beggar for these last twelve months. A countryman of ours, upon whose veracity we can depend, and who has lately tra velled in England and Ireland with a Prussian pan, has given us these particulars, and assures us diet in many parts illuminations took place, when it was known Bonaparte was proclaimed an Emperor. In every house in England his pot trait is found, and in Ireland the peasants and mechanics have mounted national cockades in expeaation of their delieet , .r. Both in the streets of Dublin and London, ballads are sung in his honour ; and the people call for him as for a saviour, and say, that if he landed close, and it was known, in a week he would have an army of a million of Britons ready to destroy their political, banking, and mercantile aristocrats and bloodsuckers. In Ireland, for one vines in gold twa guineas nre paid in paper money ; and in Eng land, notwithstanding the severity of Pitt and ilia police spies, for a one pound rote in paper money only half a crown in cash is obtained. Such is the beggarly situation of Bank of England, that when lately an English frigate captured one of oar coasting ships, which had on board 23,000 dollars, a Bank DireCtor went express to Portsmouth to borrow that money from the captors, at the irr mense interest of 5j per cent. in the month. When this financial transalion was known, all the people rose in mass in SouthamptomeAire, through which province it was to pass to London, and, to preveet its being plundered by the starving inhabitants, 5000 dragoons were necessary t.. escort it to the capital, which they eifeaed, though not without cutting{ down several hundred of their countrymen, who attempted to seize this triormeru treasure. If these are not signs of the dissolution cf a go vernment, Ana of the destrudlion tit an empire, we are -ery badly acquainted with historical events. We recommend the reading of this article to our brave army on the coast, and to its valourous lead ers, whose known huntanit.i and generosity will re gard it as a duty to soon bestow on an unf.Ttonate an•d oppressed nation, those blessings which France enjoys under her present illustrious chief. (jdurnal det afinserri.) Count Haugw•itz has returned to Berlin, and B. rtm!either& has restored to , him the ministerial port-folio. Once mere the English intrigues to dis grace this friend of France and of the Continent have faded. His Prussian Majesty has once mote istened to the voice of justice, as well as of grati tude. Count Haugwttz has recovered all his for mer favour, thanks to the endeavours of otu %ter, Citizen la Forest.
