G LEANINGS from BOOKS on AGRICUL TURE. Extract from the Monthly Review of Feb. I E O 2. • " Literary distillation, if itudicionsly concluded, is often a very commendable process ; since by this mode the testeace of bulky Volumes is condensed into a very riar;ow space. The Books which have been put into the still on the present occasion, are, The General County Views chavvn up. for the Boaid of Agriculture—Transactions of the Society tor the Encouragement of Arts, &c.—Bath Agricul tural Society Papers—Marshall's Rural Economy—Young's Tour—llunter':; Geor'ical Essays—Curtis's Observation on British Grasses—and Withering's Botanical Arrangements.— irom these Works the Compiler has extracted a peat variety OF . information,. which he has arranged in alphabetical order under distinct heads, from Alder to Yams. We think that the publication will be very useful to Agriculturists. It may be considereU as a concise Farmer's Dictionary." Printen tors.

And after several specimens, the Reviewer then proceeds to state, that " It must undoubtedly be seen from these specimens, that this translation is a spirited and nicritoriuns work, and such as the English readcr wilt peruse with pleasure and advan tage." British Critic, October, 180 r. " Thc translation of this Poem is, upon the whole, hap pily executed ; it adheres with sufficient fidelity to its text, and generally evinces an equal degree of ease."

HOUSE OF PEERS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 28. Tut Malt and Beer Doty Bill, and the Servants' Tax Bill, were real a third time and haled. The several Bills on the Table were forwarded in their re snective stages. The further hearing of L ANE'S Divorce Bill was postponed till Tuesday next.—Adjourned till To-morrow, HOUSE OF COMMONS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 28. ON the Motion of General GascoyNr, leave was given to bring in a Bill for the purpose f erecting a new Exchange at Liverpool. A Petition was presented from Norwich, against the Duty on Paper.—Ordered tolie on the Table. Lord BEiGRAVE said, that as an Hon. Mem ber had given notice, that on Friday se'onight he should move the Thanks of the House to His MA JESTY, for dismissing his late Ministers, his Lord ship should, on the same night, move the Thanks of the House to these Ministers for their conduCt in office. Mr. N. VANSITTART moved for leave to bring in a Bill to amend and explain the Ad of the 27th of His Majesty, relative to the Duty on Post_ Horses. The present Bill related to the powers of the Lords Commissioners. to farm that Duty.— Leave was given. The Militia Pay and Cloathing Bill was read ,a second time, and is to be committed on Monday. A Message from the Lords announced their assent to the Beoc and Malt Duty Bill, and BJSO to the Bill for a Duty on Men Servants. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved as an instrt.dion to the Committee on 'the Land. Tax Bill, that a clause be added, to ascertain who have rights to vote, in consequence of having redeemed a portion of the Land-Tax.—Ordered. He then moved, That an Account of the Land-Tax sold up to the date when the last Accounts were made up, be laid before the House.—Ordered. The SECRETARY at WAR postponed his Motion relative to the Yeomanry Corps to Monday next. The Militia Subaltern Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on .MOnday next. Alderman CURTIS lose, in consequence of a Notice given on a former day, to move for a Com mittee to inquire into the Laws relative to the As size of Bread. A•Corrmittee for this purpose was then appointed. The Report of the Committee on the Irish Bank Restridion Bill was brought up. It was ordered to be read a third time, and engrossed to-morrow. The Report on the French Wine Bill was brought up. It was ordered to be reada third time, and en grossed to-morrow. The Sugar Drawback Bill was ordered to be com mitted to-morrow. The consideration of the Cavalry Bill was put off till this day se'nnight. The House then resolved itself into a Committee of Supply, to take into consideration His Majesty's Message, relative to the provision to be made for the DUKES of SUSSEX and CAMBRIDGE. ,The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that as the insufficiency of the Civil List to make the provisions mentioned in His Majesty's Message was well knOwn, and as the House had proceeded in saliberal a manner in 1799, he doubt. ed not that they would observe the same conduit on the present occasion. He therefore moved, " That a sum not exceeding r 2,6001. be granted yearly to His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, out of the Consolidated Fund ; and a still, to the same amount, to His Royal flightiness the Duke of Sussex, out of the same Fund ; which was agreed to. To a question from Mr. RonsoN, the CHANCEL_ LOR of the EXCHEQUER replied, that this Grant was to be inzde from the Consolidated Funds of Great Britain and Ireland, in the proportion of two t7ths" from the Consolidated Fund of Ireland, and the other fifteen r7ths from that of Great Britain, The House having resumed, the Report was ordered to be received to-morrow. The Report of the Committee on 'the Export and Import Duty Bill was' then brought up. Ori the question being put for the second reading of the Amendments, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that some Gentlemen had expressed much dis content at the partiality which they supposed was she wn to Ireland in this Bill. This subject had undergone much consideration, even since !hellebore of last nigkt ; but it was not thought proper to make any alteration in the Bill, as it was the in. tention of an Hon. Friend of his, when the Ways and Means of Ireland came to be considered, to move that Ireland becharged with the same Duty on Exports, as this Bill laid or. Great Britain. As to the import . Duty, it was intended to make no alteration in it. With regard to his own opinion on the subjel, he said that, he thought it fair that the Export Duties should be equalized in the two Kingdoms : that this principle, however, could not be generalized, as it was plain the internal Taxes of the two Countries must widely differ in their pro.. :portions. An Article of the Union provided that Certain articles of the growth and manutitUate of either Kingdom, should be equally charged on Ex portation. Therefore the one Country l t ld not an opportunity of underselling the other in foreign markets. Certain articles of the growth and ma cif-adore of both Countries, bore also the same duty in both. It was therefore intended that . the exemption with regard . to Exports from Ireland, should be - done away. With regard to the Ton.. nage Duty, his Right Hon. Friend wished to.have more complete, inforination,• as to the Shipping of Ireland, before any thing should be decided upon it. Upon these considerations, he should wish.the pre seo.t Bill to.pass without any alteration. , General GASCOY NE said, that what had fallen from the Right Hon. Gentleman with regard to Ire. land, had entirely removed his oppositioo to the Mr. 0' TIARA said, he was sorry, on any occa sion to differ from his Right Hon. Friend, the CII4nce110; ig the 4xcOquer ; but he could not agree with him as to his interpretation of an article of the Union, from which he inferred that the duty on Exports from the two Kingdoms ought to be si milar. That . article only related to exportation from one country to the other ; its intention was confined solely to the markets of the respe6live king doms, and by no means interfered with the foreign Trade of either country. By this means the recipro cal jealousy of the two countries was removed, and the competition with regard to Foreign markets still left open. Fie said that any jealous/ with re gard to a greater influx of wealth into rreland was superfluous, as it must go equally to ankh Great Sir JAMES SINCLAIR ERSKINE stated, that the present Bill would be particularly injurious to the growing Linen ManufaEture of this Country. Ile also observed, that it must prove detrimental to our Navigation. Mr. N. VANSTTTART observed, that no danger c o uld b e apprehended from the importation ofForeign Linen, as that article was taxed so high. This manufadure had grown up among us, of late years, under the very pressure complained of. He said, that nothing but a great diminution of our trade could excite any serious apprehension for our Ship ping : all the ships we had were fully employed.-- He thence inferred, from some calculations, that our Imports were no stria test of our navigation ; but if they were so, there could he no cause for alarm, as the Imports of the last quarter had exceeded any former one by 400,0001. e • The Ame n dments were then agreed to, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time, and engrossed to-MOtroyir. • Mr. DENT said, that he should postpone his Motion relative to Bull-baiting to Tuesday. Mr. WINDHAM wished rather that the Eon. Gentleman would bring forward his Motion at pre sent, as the House might be as well pleased to have this business over, since a Motion, conneCted with the Definitive Treaty, would be made on an early day ; and it was too much for Members to have two such important obje&s•as the Definitive Treaty and Bull baiting on their minds at once. Mr. WILBERFORCE said, he saw no reason why any Member should not chose what day he pleased for his Motion. He could not observe any natural conneCtion between Bull-baiting - and the Definitive Treaty, that the Honourable Gentleman should couple them together. Mr. DENT had no objection to any day, but the same reasons Might be urged against any one he should pitch upon. He, therefore, adhered to Tues day. Mr. CHARLES STURT gave notice, that he in tended, early next week, to make a Motion relative to the Half-pay of the Lieutenants of the Navy. Adjourned at a quarter before six, till to-mor. row. THE SUN. SOLIM QUIS DICERE. FALSUM AUDEAT ? LONDON, APRIL 29, 1802. THIS being the day appointed for the Proclama tion of Peace, all the proper Officers and Attendants usually employed in the Ceremony, assembled in the Stable-yard, Sr. James's, from whence the Procession commenced about half past eleven o'clock. The Proclamation was read opposite th Palace Gate, and then at Charing-Cross. When our Paper was put to Press, the Procession was moving along the Strand, attended by an immense concourse of People. This morning the Bidders for the Lottery met at the CHANCELLOR of the EXCH.EQUER'S, in Downing -street, when the following were the Pro posals made : SPROTT and Co. - z 6 WIL.KINSON and CO. 15 17 6 PAUL GROVF.S ' .1.5 I 8 lizsn 'and Co. 15 1 8 SoLomoss and Co. rs 6 to COPE IS I 8 SHEwELL, Towooon and Co - 16 3 4 The" atter therefore have the Contract.

WE this morning received Paris Journals of the zsth inst. The only article of importance which they contain, is one in the Clef du Cabinet, from Basle, dated April 18, which states, that they had received official intelligence that the Palais was to be separated from Helvetia, and formed into an In. dependent Republic, of which Sion was to be the Capital. This intelligence is said to have occa. sioned great joy in that Country. La lifutine is stated to have arrived at Cher. Bourg on the 13th, in twenty-eight days ham St. Domingo, and to have brought very satisfalory Dispatches. TOUSSAINT is stated to have had only Soo men left, and to have demanded a Capitulation. How should this important news have been eleven days in travelling from Cherbourg to _Paris ? 'We think it very donbtful indeed. The French Funds were at 56. 80.
