Mr. JONES seemed Oill to accuse Mt. PITT of tvishiog to increase the• burdens of the People. PITT—" The }lon. Gentleman has mis. • understood me—l said nothin like it." motion was then put that the House go into A Committee of the whole Howe on the Bill ; upon which a division took place : Ayes Noes - 83 I 2 :Vijority - -7 On bei:'g re-admirted to the gallery, we found the House in a Committee, and ivl r. WH IT BR EAD Tepeating his former argun,uas against the Bill. He concluded by moving an amendment, that the words " one shilling," he substituted for " two shillings." . After a conversation of some length between Mr. PITT and Mr. WHITBREAD, the Hume divided upon r. WHIT BR E AD'S amendment. The numbers on this division were : For the amendment Against it Majority II •6z -7.5_1 •Tlie discussion in the Commiltee.cOn - iinued for some time, previous to the gallery being opened; on our admission, we found The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER upon his feet, observing upon - a proposition which we understood had been urged by Mr. Alderman Coaiuc. Ile said, he certainly should.considdir the proposition of the Hon. Member, at the same time they were - not to expect that he should decide upon the point without farther information and inquiry. What he now observe' -was, tocrely on the ground of acconunodation, reserving to himself the right of deciding hereafter as he should deem proper, ac cording to circumstances. Mr. W HIT B READ made a variety of obser- Nations upon the Clause, which he,contended would operate detrimentally- to the English Brewer ; -and he said, that under the existing regulations, the Scots Brewer could dlford to sell his Beer .in England upon much lower terms than the English Brewer could. This last observation, he said, he merely threw out for the consideration of Gentle,. men opposite to him. After a few words from Mr. VANSITTART, the Blank was filled up in the way proposed by the Framers el the Bill. With respect to the operation of the next Clause, Mr. FOSTER" entered into some calculations, to prove, that the proposed Duties would operate in juriously to the Irish Brewers, public or private : One of the results was, that the proposed Duty was 7d. more per barrel, than it fairly ought to be— and nth respea to its operation on the Irish Pri vate. Brewers, he calculated, that it 'would also be injurious ; but this etreet, as we understood the Right Hon. Gentleman, was only in case of the Irish Gentleman, or Private Brewer, exporting his Beer - to this Country : and this idea seemed to pro yoke some risibility in the Committee, Mr. VANS ITTART answered the observations of the Right Hon. Gentleman who spoke last, with great ability and effeEt -; and this part of the discus_ sign' led to an explanatory conversation between these two Gentlemen, of-some length. The blank in 'theClause was then ordered to be filled up in the way proposed. • ' In the next Clause, the word " Merchandize" was, on the suggestion of Mr. FOSTER, and the CHANCELLOR Of • the EXCHEQUER saying he had to-objection, ordered to be omitted. The Hill being entirely gone ffirough by the .nrtlitlittee, the Chairman was direeted to, leave the 'chair, and the House tesuming,ordered the report to be received to-morrow. Air-. V ANS ITTART presented a Bill, for grant ing to His. _Majesty certain. Duties. on Goods im portedand exported from Great Britain into Ireland, acid from Ireland to Great Britain ; and on the ton fairge of Ships, -Vessels, &c. 'the Bill was read a first time, And ordered to be Arad a second time to-tnorrow., The Eletlion Bill was ordered to be read a third time on Thursday. - The Order for the second reading of the Bank .Restriction Bill being read, and the question put, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ob served, that all the objedions which he understood were intended to he urged against this Bill, could ,only be regularly discussed in the Committee ; theSe were principally on the propriety of giving power , o the Directors to open payments on their own .*thority and likewise, with respeff to the period to which the oneration of the Bill was to extend.—These objeatiom could, therefore, with propriety, only be made in the Committee ; and also from the consideration, that to the principle of the Bill no objeation whatever applied. With respeat to the point of arranging these discussions, as important business stood' for to-morrow, and also for the day after, he thought it would be best , to appoint the discussion on a day on which no other business stood—on this ground, though he Ht the importance and urgency . of giving every pra6licable degree of expedition to the progress of the Bill, he was disposed to submit the propriety of corn ;pitting the Bill for tomorrow se'nnight. This, on the Question being put, was ordered accordingly. The Report of the Servants' Tax Bills was or dered to be roccived to-morrow.—After which, at half past eleven o'clock, the [louse adjourned, irpn the 49ArDpx GAZETTE, April ;3, ;(:).Z.

There- will not be any busines's at St. Jame3's Palace till the 27th in . s,t. when the KING will hold a Levee. The QV EEN will liOrd_ a . Drawing room on the 28th inst. Parliament adjourns to_morrorl► until Wednesday next only. His Royal Highness the DUKE of KENT, we understand, takes leave of THEIR MAJESTIES at Windsor or, Sunday next, and immediately proceeds for Falmouth, where a Frigate will be ready for his reception to convey him to his new Government of Gibraltar. Yesterday Count WORONZOW left town on his route to Petersburgh. His Excellency was in a post coach with six horses, - and his attendants in a post chaise and four. Some of the Evening Papers of yesterday, I,oith_ out any authentic-information themselves, - blindly copied a statement from a Morning Paper . ; that; the Ratification of the Definitive Treaty had been sent off on Monday. There is another Statement re speaing it this morning, in the Paper alluded to, which the same Evening Papers will no doubt copy again, but which, we believe, is equally unauthen+ ticated and unfounded. We have to caution the Public against.ill founded Statements which they too often see in'the other Evening Papers, of events in Sr. Domingo, as well as other quarters of the •Globe. Every idle rumour is caught at by them, and pompously detailed as a faa. From this species of deception it shall ever be our study to •guard the Public. - By the proceedings. of • the, House of Comni9ns last night, the learn the intentions of Government in regard . (O theititure Establishment of the Militia. The outline:of - I'lle present plan is to augment the Militia of England to 6o,ooo—that of Scotland to 12,000 men. His -MA J ESTY is to be authorized to call out any proportion of this number whenever it may be deemed expedient. They are to be exercised twenty-one days in each year, and the annual expence is not to exceed 240,0001. They are to be enrolled in four distind classes—First, young unmarried men—Secondly, married men with out children—Thirdly, married men who have only one child ;—and Fourthly, elderly and married men who have more than one child. They are to be di vided thus, in order that the Lieutenants of Coun ties may have a better opportunity of selection, whenever the public emergency does not require the whole of the Militia to be embodied. Besides disbanding most of the Militia, as well as the Fencibles, on the z4.►h of this month, the Guards will likewise shortly be reduced to• their original establishment, the Officers of which will be placed on half-pay ; but those of the Militia and Fencibles will not receive any pay beyond the time they are disbanded, as was at first imagined. A Battalion of the Guards yesterday marched for Windsor, to relieve the Staffordshire Militia, about to march for their own County for the purpose of being disembodied - . The Dorset Militia is ordered. to Dorchester, and the North Hams to Winchester. The General Eledion is now spoken of as cer tainly very near at hand. June is the month con fidently mentioned as the period of the Dissolution. HEIR MAJESTIES, it is said, have been graciously pleased to order an elegantervice of Plate for their infant God-daughter Lady GEORGIANA STANHOPE, the -daughter of the Earl of CHESTERFIELD. We have the best authority to state, that Mr. STRATTON has no intention, as it was reported, of offering himself a Candida4-to represent the County • of Oxford at the ensuing' eleEtion. It was last night reported, that the respedable - Bl:itior of BATH and WE L. Ls, died yesterday morn. ing. Lord MOIRA has been appointed by His Royal Highness the PRINCE of WALES Curator 'of the Stannaries in Cornwall. There is not, properly speaking, a Chancellor of the Duchy of Cornwall, but Chancellor to the PRINCE, as Duke of CORNWALL 1. for there can be no, Duke of Cornwall but the KING except I ,is first born son and Prince of ENGLAND, who has a Privy Council as such, of which his Chancellor is President. This Officer has always existed except during the time of the present Prince of WALES. HIS MAJESTY was not Duke of CORN WALL, but the office was held - under His MAJES TY'S Royal Father, FREDERICK Prince of WALES, by Mr. Justice DENTON, a Judge of the Common Pleas, and, afterwards, by Sir THOMAS BOOTLE ; and, in former reigns, more freqUently by Judges than Counsel. Yesterday the LORD MAYOR ordered the Bread to be lowered one assize and a half, or Three-pence in the Peck Loaf, to take place to-morrow :—the price of the Quartern Loaf . Wheaten, will then be rod. and Household 80. The Gazette of lasi night contains a very extra ordinary notice, viz. That His Majesty's Warrant, allowing a person stiling himself ROBERT LA. THROPP MURRAY, to take the additional Surnames of BROW NE CLARKE, is declared null and void, by Hi; Majesty's Express Command. This gentleman, we understand, staled himself a Baronet, and is 'a! partner in a BankiiigAtouse, in Portland Place. 1-'f Mrs. SFAERIDAN was in the Gallery of the House „ . of commons on Monday.—We hore it was the only occasion on which she assumes the Breeches.

Several of the sailors paid offfrom the Cambridge Flag-ship in Hamoaze, on Wednesday last, adually sprat the whole of their wages by the evening, and applied at the Admiral's Office on Thursday morn ins fur employment. About one o'clock on Sunday morning last, Mr . B. of Lancashire, an eminent Woollen Manufacturer, came to the White Horse, in Fetter-lane, in the Manchester coach, where he supped in company with some other Gentlemen. A short time after supper he seemed much fatigued, and expressed a wish to retire. He had not remained long in his bed-room, before the Chambermaid heard an uncommon noise, which so much, alarmed her, that she communicated her fears to the ostler, who thought them at the time unoleserving of notice; but the same noise being repeated, and no answer given to a loud knocking at the door, it in. duced the ostler and some others present, to force their way into the bed-room, when they found the unfortunate Gentleman laying bleeding .on the floor, with a penknife near him, with which he had cut his throat in a shocking manner. He was just able to speak, and attributed the circumstance to the loss of a law-suit ; but added, that although he had made up his mind to the deed, it was not his intention to have perpetrated the at there. Mr. ANDREE, of Hatton-garden, was called in to his assistance, and every necessary attendance given, but he died a few hours afterwards. A Coroner's Inquest was held on the body on Monday afternoon, and brought in a verdil of—Lun a cy. An authentic letter from Surinam states, that Capt. BROWN, a the sth Battalion of the both ,Regiment, being out on a shooting party upon the • Stlii;isin River, saw a large Shark near in shore, he shot at with a bow and arrow :—the fish „was evidently struck, and went down, and the next morning it was seen in a wounded state close in shore; on which boats went off and brought it in and killed it ; and on opening it, to the astonishment of Capt. BROWN; and a considerable number of peo ple, there was found in the stomach a woman, gen teelly dressed, and entire, except her head, which had been evidently severed from the body. A boatswain's mate of one of the ships paid off last week at Plymouth, was way-laid by some of the ship's company, who seized him, cut off his ears, and aaually put them in his pocket. The villains then made their escape, leaving Oie poor fellow in the most pitiable condition. IT. DOMINI A vessel has arrived at Liverpool, after a quick passage from Boston. She brings Papers so late as the isth of March,. At ( 11313 : tsit111 ::: the following interesting details had been receive of the arrival of the French at St. DolPing °, I the state of the Calory.
