HviPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, THIJJISDAY, FEB. 4. Arr. VANSITTART presented an account of Patent Places, and. Places held for Life or Lives, with the persons holding the same. Mr. VANSITTART gave notice, that in the absence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer he should move, in the Committee of Supply to-morrow, as we understood, to the sarve effed as the notice given by the Chancellor of the Exchequer on Tuesday. Mr. ROBSONsaid, it was his intention to move that the proper Officer should be direded to lay before the House an account of the Interest paid by Government on the Loan advanced by the Tank of England since the Bank stopped payment in cash in the year T 797. Mr. N..fr:INSITT,4RT wished to know more Particularly the nature of the Motion. Mr. RO - BSON said, that since the Bank stopped payment in cash in the year 1797, they had been receiving 3 or 4.00,c001. a year, to the amount altogether of a million - and an half in interest upon paper advanced by them instead of motley. He wished to obtain the information, which his in tended Motion was calculated to produce, for the purpose of grounding on it a Motion relative to the Bank of England. He gave notice that he should move for the paper to-morrow. Mr. METCALF objeded to the words " stop ped payment," and trusted the Hon. Gentleman would amend his Motion, by leaving out those words. The SPEAKER interrupted Mr. METCALF, and put a stop to the conversation, by observing that it was irregular, there being only a notice of a Mo. tion given. _ _ Mr. N. VANSITTART moved the only Order of the Day, which was for a Committee to take into consideration the A 8 of the 38th Geo. 111. c. 57, relative to the Southern Whale Fishery. Mr. N. VA•NSITTART moved, that the House should to-morrow resolve itself into the said Com t tee. -7-Ordered. Adjourned at a quarter past four, till tomorrow. THE SUN. soLEM QUIS DlOEitL FALSUM AUDLAT ? LONDON, FEBRUARY 5, 0302. This morning arrived the Hamburg Mail due on Wednesday last.—Though intelligence through this channel is generally anticipated by the French Papers, yet it may som:::imes bring us such as these may not chuse, or may not be enabled, to publish. Of this nature is the account we receive by the Hanibc rgh Mail of this Clay, to an article from Mentz, of the rgth ult. which states that Ge n. SEBASTIANz, the French Minister to the Porte, had set out on his return to Paris, the GRAND SEIGNIOR having re fused to ratify the Treaty of °Et. gth ;—and an ar ticle from Constantinople, Dec. 24th, says, that Lord ELGIN had concluded a separate Convention with the Porte, by which particular privileges have been granted to the English, with regard to the Levant and East-/nefia Trade, on account of the signal services rendered by the British Forces in Egypt; which Convention is to last for three years. We have this day presented our readers with the remainder of the Constitution and the Organic Laws of the Italian Republic: We purposely abstain from offering any further observations on the intelligence from Lyons, , which we yesterday communicated .to our Readers, and which might give birth to various specuLttions, di.. reEled to very different objects, and leading to verydifferentconclusions._ The subject is a delicate one ; and we trust that the Public will properly estimate our motives, if we abstain from discus sions, Which, under the present relative circum stances of Great Britain and France, might justly be considered as indiscreet and unnecehsary.

The outlines of the new Militia Bill are—That the whole Militia body shall be sixty thousand men. That the men shall be drawn to serve for ten years, but substitutes to be taken for five years, and renewed at the end of that term. One ti'Aird of the body is to be called kout for twenty-one days annually, to be exercised. Regiments of 800 men to have one Colonel, two Lientenant-Colonels, and three Majors. Regiments of 700 men have one Colonel, two Lieutenant-Colonels, and two 'Majors, and so on, reducing the number Field Officers in proportion to the size of the Regiment. The Bill contains a number of other regulations, and we understand that it is generally approved of by the Militia Officers.

A fresh Insurreaion was on the point of breaking out in Guadaloupe. The New_ York Advertiser of the Sth January contains the following Letter on the subject{ : " Baltimore; 3`a?"4"Y 3. ec Arrived yesterday the Sloop Exchange, Capt. 1318 E RT, from Guadaloupe ; she left it on the s rth, at which time Port-au-Petre, and the whole Island, was in confusion, another Insurreilion having taken place there, which, if it had not been fortunately discovered, would have involved the total detruc tion of every White and Mulatto on the Island. " The Rebels, in the present instance, were. the Country Blacks against the Whites and Mulattoes. The former having lent a helping hand in the Re volution which had been just effeCted, expeded a total emancipation from their masters, but not find ing that event confirmed, or even contemplated in the Proclamation of the yellow General PELAGE, they had determined to achieve their own liberty through • the blood of PELAGE and his party. For this purpose i 1,000 were•to have been orga nized on the night succeeding that on Which the plot was discovered ; to have burnt the towns, and to have, murdered every man, woman, and child of PELAGE'S party. At that very moment only, when it could possibly have been defeated, was the plot discovered, through a Black woman, who was . the kept Miss of a White man, when four of the ring leaders-were apprehended. " Notwithstanding the bloody projet had 'beer, discovered, and for the present warded off, yet every thing was apprehended from the vengeance and ,fe rocity of the Blacks, and all was in the utmost con fusion. In such haste Was.the island deserted by those who could get off, 'that, the 'Exchange came away on the i.lth, with 'only two' hands on board. An English and a French Frigate were at that time off the Island, cautioning vesselS not to go ir.— Accounts had also been received that General MAC DONALD had sailed for the Windward'lslands with 8,000 meta, and ROCHAMBE.AI,I ,foj• the Leeward, • with 4-o;000." ••.- A Tetition was presented to the House of Ripre sentatives in America, on the sth of januari, on behalf of a Mr. DurRE, stating, .that he hatidis. covered perpetual motion..
