EXTRACT Or A PRIVATE LETTFR, ADDRESSED TO A MERCHANT AT CAEN. 4 ' A great number of •hips ;lave arrived here from Europe, as,il s.vri:.l ethers ore expected, exclusive of thure fornillig the expedition. The colony is encumbered with n►erchwrdise, and nothing is selling. 41 The arrival of the expedition is anxiously looked for, to see what course things will take. It is hoped that the projects of Government will open fresh resources to trade. Some millions of pounds of cotton have been shipped for exporta tion. It is very line, and from its amelioration by the care of its cultivation, it perhaps cannot be excelled. It is worth 45 sots a pound when shredded ; but this new branch of industry wants encouragement, and I do not perceive, that any thing has been done to pro►note this. We find here cotton of a nankeen colour, which grows, like the other, without cultivation, and which may be advantageously used in our manufactures. " Our Galan expedition has not been attended with all the success which we anticipated. It left this on the 17th August, 1818, to the number of nine vessels, under convoy of three royal brigs of war ; they were three months in proceeding up the river, about 300 leagues. The navigation is dangerous, because it Inuit be attempted during the hottest and worst port of the season. This flotilla, with the exception of the Argus royal brig, and a mer chant vessel, destined to pas the year at Galam, returned about the middle . of December. They effected nothing, except bringing away some grains, The most grievous part is, that all the Europeans, to the number of 30, were taken sick, and Is of them died. Fears are entertained fur those who remain. An espies., jest received, announces the death of the Gustraur, M. Chatellux, Geographi. cal Engineer. " The English expedition under Major Grey, which set off list year from Gambia to explore the Niger, has been detained at Galan by the ruins which prevail during the mouths of August, Sep tember, and October, and also by other unforeseen obstacles. However this may be, it is now united to ours, which is not established sit the ancient fort St. Joseph, but a few leagues below the river Faleme. " Major Grey dispatched Adrian Partarieux, a mulatto, of St. Lou,i attached to his suite, to bring him a supply of men and ethers from Gambia; they will join him by land—the journey 1 days. An English Officer has snivel with an escort of blacks at Sego, where Major Grey is desirous of constructing a gallior, with which he purposes to ascertain the course of the Niger."

T.l-: E K Rim Si" PRES S. LONDON, FRIDAY, MArtcH 12, 1819. vitivlLEGr. OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. The solemn investigation of the important charge matte by Tnumas GRADY, E.g. ligd,libt the lion. WyNDIIAM QUIN, for proferring an annuity of 20e1. charged upon the profits of the office of Cleo k of the Peace for the County of Limerick, as e bribe to influence a certain nuailofr of votes in election* for Knights of the Shire, commenced last evening in the House of Commons. We had made the most extensive mrangemelito for la)ing before the public an accurate, and therefore impartial re port of the proceedings on this national subject, which so eminently affects the dearest interests of the community, but it has pleasril Mr. STUART WORTLEY to interpose the authority of the House corCuintutins, for the purpose of preventing these pro ceedings from being conveyed to the public through the ordinary channels of the daily press. We, of course, shall not presume to question the p ropiiety of the Hou. Member's interference; it is sufficient for us to know that he, or any other Member, can, ut any time, exercise this discretionary power of treating the publication of the proceedings of the House as a breach of privilege, and must there. fore acquiesce in his determiliation. Such a dia. cretion, however, was nut exerciied on that memo rable and interesting occasion, w lieu the character and conduct of the [hike of 1 . 01M were under the consideration of the Howie of Commons. Without venturitog to express an opinion upon the merits of the subject now unto-r investigation, yet considering it a matter of high coastitutionel importance, we cannot but feel considerable grati fication, that the House of Commons have entered on it with so touch zeal and spirit. Before such a tribunal it is impossible for the truth to remain undircovered. The House was extremely crowd ed ; the most anxious and unwearied attention seemed to prevail among the Members, and, whet is still better, no pert) , feelings appear to be en. listed on either side. The examination of witnesses commenced soot, after six o'clock, and continued until some time after twelve. For their accom modation, and that they may be better heard, a species of moveable bar was placed nearly in the centre of the House, below which the witnesses stood, and where also a short-hand writer was seated, fur the porpoise of taking the questions and au ewers. This Gentleman's notes will he printed by order of the House ; amid us Mr. STEAM` WORT. LEY'a injunction will probably be dissolved at the same period, our readers may be assured of finding full report of the depositions of the witnesses in this Paper. 'the hest witness called to the bar was Mr. CAREW SMITH, a Barrister, practising at the Irish bar, whose examination continued until near eleven o'clock. The second witness was Mr. GOOLD ; a King's Counsel at the Irish bar, whose slattern ill engaged the attention of the House until tome time after twelve o'clock, when, on the fuel elf Sir ROBERT WILSON, Ife further proceedings ins this busintsl.ll were polllponrd 1111111 1111% lu the course of 11r.

The great expense of keeping BON APA RT E at St. Helena, the severity of restraint to which he is subjected, mud the iiirerrst excited by his extraor dinary boletus and fortune, have been long familiar topics of discussinn. The present policy of the French Govercuient in calling to via aid so many of favourite Gentrsis and Statesmen, bred in his amp and his closet, has, in a particular manner, dirt cted the publie attention to his unhappy situa tion. People now ask, with more than usual esrnestneas and confidence, if the King of FRANCE peen 110 danger in these children rood champions of Jacubitiism, if the Revolution appears in his eyes a burnt-out volcano without the elements to nourish a new fire, what has Europe to fear from • milder and more Ittemaile treatment BON AP 4RTF. ? few months back, the tnerciless advocates for his strict imprisonment might have cal the distinguish ed coiniranions of 144 arms and his cninljntors in council are sighing for his 'Fumy have fallen with him, mid would expect to never their lost ele twain on his return. Hot that plea esti Ire urged 110 longer. The ft until,. of:41 partisans of BONAPARTE are now in power ; their star Kara how the as cendant, mid In. presence 15 not necessary to their ambition. They have too moth sense not. to choose a log rather than a stork for their King, and wont(' (aturally prefer their present service, which is per feet freedom compared with their situation, whether ns Leg's:ators or 31iiiisiers, under the despotic rule of their firmer master. Thus every succeeding day kis reduced the danger apprehended from the enlargement of BONAPARTE, and yet there has been DO telliVnloll in the regime of his imprison ment at St. Helena, acd he continues to be watched there 551:11 us much vigilance as if a revolution iu Fracce, with all its origiod horrors, would be the certain conseluence of his escape. By this statement it is not meant to recommend be should be set at liberty; but as death has stripped him of many of his partisitits, and the vicissitudes of fortune have still further contributed to thin their ranks, he has ceased to lie the formidable man he was, and thus thorn of his strength, eau be no longer contem plated with the same terror which he once excited. The question then i 4, if BONAPARTE has been plated in St. Helena, not for punishment, but for sire keeping, does nut his situation admit of some amelioration under existing rircumstrinces ? and if so, 15 it nut unworthy of a just, liberal, and gener ous nation to persevere in imforcing en unnecessary reseed) ? There is wroth( r motive, which, though perhaps not so strong as a sense of justice. is de serving of some little consideration. The pre sent plan for the safe kre4ing of BONAPARTE at St. Helena costs bawl. ell 4 and 500,000/. a year, and surely if economy tan have any influence upon our conduct, it is worth while to consider whether • mode and place of cootinement may not he devised, which may ensure his safe keeping at a less expense than tin. enormous sum ? Some interesting infor mation on this subject will he found in a work entitled Letters from the Count de Las Casas, just published, with an official correspondence between him and Sir linotost LOWE. We have received Paris Papers of Sunday and Nlorirlay last. We can collect from their contents, that politics are beginning to he the fashion in the gay metropolis of France, and as the ✓uneaul des Debuts asserts, that ." even the fi,.e arts, the theatre, and romances, interest less than the pro ceedings iii the Chambers, and the speeches of the Members."—" This (observes the tame paper) is a sign of political life," and no donltt can be entertain. tit that no country can long hope to enjoy political liberty, unless the people guard it with a lively and uniform anxiety. It seems that the recent discussions an the Law of Electio►s have given birth to some anxiety. bow which prolific source, as might be expected, have arisen a thousand phantoms of danger, in the shape of insurrections and revolu. hour. In a representative Gavel ;;;;; ent, silly and injudicious propositions must sometimes be expect ed, excising the warmest feelings of she people; but where discussion is free, these ebnllit►ons of party seal will soon evaporate, and France, as she becomes nanre familiar with her present system, will cease to tremble at every symptom of popular agitation. It WAR reported w Paris that the west of France was in a stale of insurrection; sod a writer in a periodical Paper, called L'Horwase Geis, was act alarmed with the intelligence. that in his terror he fancied he already saw " France bound hand said foot, given up to her croulest enemies." This and similar rnmours were circulated with great peitwseratice, but it is almost unnecessary to add, they are without the abler est fou► n lation. France was never ►n a more tranquil state. and never evinced a greater probability of preservica, the bless ing of repose. That a certain undefined feeling of alarm prevails cannot be denied, and we, in con. sapience, find the prices of the fluids reduced. The F►ve per Cents. were oil Saturday 65 1..15 c.
