IMPERIZL PARLI4PIEN T. HO US OF PEERS, THURSDAY, JUNE 24. THE House met, pursuant to adjournment, short ly after one o'clock, when their Lordships pro ceeded. to the transaction of private business. The farther consideration of the appeal- Harlawe and others ‘v. the Governors of Merchant Maiden Hos-, vital, Edinburgh, &c. standing first in order, their Lordships came to a decision, the effect of which was, partly to affirm certain interlocutors, to re verse othe...s, and to remit the remaining points- of the case- for the farther consideration of the Court of Sessi6n. On the Appeal, Hog v. Thwaites, their Lord ships ea= to a decision, tending to reverse the decree. • On - the important cause, the Fleshers' Company of Edinburgh cv. the Lord Provost and Corporation of the same, the LoRD CiiANCELLOR delivered his sentiments of its merits at considerable length. He concluded by movirg a proposition, as the judgment of their Lordships, the result of which was, that the cause be remitted back to the farther consideration of the Court of Session, with di redions, &c. Lord RLOW shortly delivered his opinion of the case, and he- expressed his hope, as„ the cause would certainly come here again, that the Court of Sessiou would condescend to state sped_ finally what demands are to be made, and. against what persons, and their reasons in point of law upon which such demands arc grounded. The question was then put, on the LORD Cif 4N- C pioposition, which was agreed to by the The consideration of the remaining causes which stood for this day, among which is the important e‘ise of judgment, Morthland (v. Cadell, were, on the motion of the LORD tomorrow.till The various Bills before the House were for warded in their respedive stages. These were mostly third readings, and among these were the Alien and Deer Steilling Bills, which stood parti cularly as Orders f the Day. The Paper Duty Bill went through a Committee, and was reported v. allowt any amendment. Some f;:rtiier private business was then dispo , ed pf s and their Lordships adjourned till to-tnorrow. HOUSE OF COMMONS, THVItSDAY, JUNE 24. Tr u' Report of the Committee respeEEng, the prm vidirg additional RoomS and Offices for Committees, Wastalc , n into consideration, on which Mr. BANKEsinoved, that an humble Address 'be presented to His iVla;esty, laying before His Ma jesty the Report, wi!i the Plans' thereto annexed, and praying that His Majesty would be graciously pleased to give directions for carrying into effect the Alterations and Improvements therein described, and that the House would make good the same.— Ordered. NITRIC FUMIGATION. Mr. PVII i BERFORCE. said, he rose for the pur pose of discharging a debt 01 justice, in' moving an Address to His Majesty on the Petition of Dr. Carmichael Smyth. it would be remembered, that many weeks-since a Petition had been presented icy Dr: Carmichael Smyth, respeCting Nitric Fumiga tion, for preventing the Communication of Conta_ gion. That Petition was referred to a Committee, who, after a log and labtirious investigation of the subject, ..had presented a Report, which had been some tinie on the Table, and which," together with the Appendix, would, he had no doubt, have the etre& of convincing the greater part of that House of the justice of Dr. Sn'qth's claim to a remuneration for his exertions. The efficacy of the invention had teen fully 'established : of its importance there could be no doubt, whilst Dr. Smyth.had a just claim, to originality in the invention, which was the-result of much laborious study. Dr. Smyth had . gi yen it to the Public, of whom he was justly entitled to claim a remuneration, since it was a discovery for the benefit of the Pahiic, and the Inventior could have no expeOation of reward from individuals. The Appendix to the Report suffkienily pointed out the benefits which had resulted from this discovery, in preventing the communication of Contagion ; and not only that, but it lessened the ill effects of con tagious Diseases in the individuals adually afHided by those diseases, lie had understood that it was necessary to insert a specif.e sum in the Address, in doing which he experienced some, difficulty. If he hail insetted a sum proportioned to the merits of the individual, it would have appeared much too large : he thought, however, that a moderate sum might be mentiored, which, whilst it served as some re muneratio4 to Dr. Smyth, it would, at the same time, more effeCleaily operate to 'stamp the discovery with the impression of public utility, and' would be ' considered as - a testimony of the approbation of that House as to the merits of the invention. He had, therefore, inserted the sum of 5 pool. which he thought was so Moderate, that these could be no objection to it. He concluded by moving, " That an humble Address should be presented to His Ma_ jesty, praying that he would be graciously pleased to"give direatuns that a sum not exceeding 50001. should be advanced to Dr. James Carmichael Smyth, and that the House would make good the same." Mr. E KNE scoodea the Motion. He could hardly conceive, he said, a greater body of evidence io establish any tact than that by which the benefit resW ring from the discovery of Dr. Smyth had been proved. Mr. DAVID .SCOTT observed that the Nitric Fumigation had Len tried in the East India Ser i/ice, and had admirably succeeded in preventing the conm,uni,:::tiion of Conta g ion. There wa s even some reat,.;)n to believe char it might he effeCluar y used lrt preventing the communication of the Pla.-! . tle, Lord 61., EN3 E EV E, Vir. Gnu RTE ti,•,),Y, ; :t . encral Lor - rus, and Sir ANDREW SNA?E HAmoND all spoke in favour of the discovery. The CHANCELLOR of . the EXCHEQUER said, he thought 'it his duty to examine with the utmost caution„ the applications made. Lu that House for public money. The body of evidence, however, which was contained in the Report on the Petition of Dr. Smyth, was fully sufficient to induce him to consent to the present IVldotion, as he thought nothing was ever more indisputably made out than the efficacy and importance of this discovery, and also the exclusive claim of Dr. Carmichael Smyth to the merit of the discovery. He was convinced that in consenting to the present Motion, which would stamp the Discovery with public approba tion, he was doing justice to the individual, and performing an 2EI of real benevolence, not only to this Country, but to the whole Universe. Colonel WOOD hoped the Right Hoii. Gentle man the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER) would have no objetion to allowing Dr. Smyth his ex. pences. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, it would be invidious to make .any distinc. tion between this Case and others which had pre. ceded it, but it would be for the wisdom of the House to consider of any method of exonerating the individuals to whom' these remunerations were given, from the expenses attendant upon such Votes, which consisted of fees fairly and justly due to several Officers, under the saktion of Par liament. The Motion was then put and carried nem. con. Mr. N. VANNiTTART presented an Account of the Bounties paid on Corn' and Rice imported— which was ordered to lie on the Table. A Message from the Lords informed the House that their Lordships had agreed to Lord Hutchin. son's Annuity Bill, the Land Tax Redemption Bill, The Hydrometer Bill, the Isle of Man Bill, the iVlilford Haven Bill, and the 13 1 er Stealing Bill, without any Amendment ; and to the Alien Bill with several Amendments, to which they desired the concurrence of this House. Adjourned at a quarter before six o'clock till to-morrow. • To the WORTHY and iNDEPENDENT FREEMEN of the CITY.of COVENTRY. GENTLEMEN, MR. BIRD having, in the Month of November last, declared his intention of opposing my Re-eledion for the City of Coventry ' by the introdudion of a new Can didate, I was induced at that time (from a'consideration of the consequences of a Contest), to decline offering myself again ; nor should I have now resumed the subject, but from the pressing invitation I have received,. accompanied with the MOST LIBERAL. otters of support from a great majority of the Freemen. I accept the generous Invitation I have received with gra titude and pleasure, as it most forcibly speaks your approba tion of my Conduct in your Service, and as it will atr)rd me an opportunity to defend y,oue Ancient and Constitutional Rights in the Freedom of EleeliOn. Mt. Bird, in his Address to' you, says he is induced to op pose my Re.elecilon by the introduction of Mr. Peter Moore, from a desire to maintain the Indeptuderice of the City of Coventry. Tire Indepedence of the City of Coventry has not, I hope,' been impaired by any conduct of mine since 1 have had the hcnour of being yOur Representative, 'as I am conscious that, in the discharge of my Duty in Par liament, the Independence and Interest of your City have ever been with me sitbjeds of the first considera tion ; and should I again have the Honour of being the object of your choice, I will endeavour to shew my sense of so great an obligation, by discharging my Duty with Zeal, Diligence and Integrity. Conscious of the independence of my own views, and con fident in your liberal support, I pledge mykell regardless of the mean and little ads of intimidation nude use of to deter me from coming among you) to maintain your Rights at the place of Election, to the last moment necessary, with a firm ness and perseverance worthy of the Cuusc in which I en gage. I have the Honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient and obliged SerVant, London, June zs, iSoz. NATH. lEFFERYS. MAILS.

MARRIOTT and YEO WARD, Were put' in nomination with the present Bridge-Master,' Mr. GALABIN. The shew of hands for .Mr. GALABIN was decidedly great, but those for Mr. MARRIOTT and YEOWARD appeared so near. ly equal, that the Sheriff's ordered a second shew, when they declared the choice of the Li very to have fallen on Mr. IVlAnittovr. A Poll was s however demanded by the friends of Mr. YEO - and Mr. GALABIN not s having been se parately eleaed, as it is suggested he ought to have been, the Law Officers were of opinion that he must also stand a Pull, which was accordingly agreed to ; and when the Hall broke up, the Poll commenced, and the numbers on its conclusion, stood as follows: GALAIVIN rB6, .VIARRPTT i;9, YEOWARD 117.

" Done the 24:1 of June, z 802." It is confidently reported, that in the distribution 'of the Indemnities which are abcut to be settled in Germany, the Birkopric of Osnaburgh is to be a n ' ntred to ,the Eledorate of Hanover in perpetnitY , and of course will afford a very handsome provision for anyone of the future male descendants of the Royal Family on the Throne, on whom it may lie thought fit to bestov. - • it. By the last accounts which have been reeeive4 from the Netherlands, it appears doubtful whether the navigation of the Scheldt will be opened as W 35, generally expeded. A number of mercantile per• sons from Brussels, and other towns of the Loy' Countries, have repaired to Amsterdam for the par' pose of establishing houses of commerce there. A paragraph appeared yesterday in the Papers* reseeding .SANTERRE, the ci.devant Commandant of the Parisian Guard, which is not founded in truth , It represents that person as being in a state of pe nury ar Paris, and as a Pensioner of the French Government. The bib is, SANTTERRE possesses a very large fortune ; and some time ago he was pre; sented to the First Consul, at the Thuilleries, and was favourably received, and even offered a situa tion which he refused, He publicly declared, O r if the First Consul had not given him a welcome re ception, he should .have said to him gg j broke , down the gates of the Thuilleries for you to enter.' JOEL BARLOW, who was well known in this Country some years ago, for having published se' veral Political Pamphlets of a Revolutionary ten" deficy, is now at Paris, and lives in the Rue Vauri gard, in a very splendid house, which formerly be' longed to M. de CLERMO wr To NNERE. T is house 13Alt LOW purchased very cheap, and is now detain' ed from going to America, under the hope of se' ling it advantageously to some English family. The celebrated M. VOLNEY, will shortly a rrive it this Country, where he will pass a month, previ ous to his trip to Spa, where he will pass the Sum' mer for the b6nefit of his health. This Author, wh ° ' has been so ably refuted by Mr. MAttRICE, and se: veral of our learned Countrymen, was the tutor and friend Of,BONAPARTE, and is now a Member of the Conservative Senate. It is by no means surprizing that the Police of Paris have suppressed the Life of the late OuEEN o f, FRANCE, as the cruelties infliaed upon that unfor" tunate Heroine must stamp an indelible disgrace upon the Nation. The French Government have it in contempla tion to employ a number of their Military in th e construlion and reparation of several of their public works.
