If the prohibition to import our woollen stuffs, muslins, &c. into France, has occasioned the great est alarm among our manufa6urers, another cir cumstance has diffused still greater apprehension among all classes of inhabitants. This is a report that the importation of provisions from Swabia has been forbidden. Our burdens will thus be doubled, by the dearth occasioned by the diminished importa tion of the necessaries of life, while our profits have been extremely diminished by the decrease in the' sale of our manufaatires abroad. If these prohi bitions be carried into 'fed, our situation will be truly pitiable. Meanwhile report speaks much of near approaching great political alteration ; and the preference which the Swiss manifest for Prince Murat, renders the report probable, that they will soon send a deputation to Paris, to request him er some other French Prince as their regent. By this voluntary measure, all our difficulties would certainly be immediately removed. NAPLISS, res. 2s. The French army has divided into several corps. One of thefts, commanded by General Regnier.is on its n-.arch for Calabria. Gaeta. where the Prince of Hesse Philippstal *commands, has not yet surrendered. General Gar daunt coadues the siege. General St. Cyr corn mands the corps which is on its march for Apulia. At this moment we learn, that the Neapolitan troops. which had withdrawn to Calabria. are em barking for Sicily. The French army, however, has not inteimitted its march : it will attempt a lauding in Sicily. Heavy artillery has been sent to the siege of Gaeta. PIUS, MARCH IS. Report speaks of the formation of a military household for the Emperor, like that of the ancient Kings of France. Several persons are already men tioned as members of this new corps. It is added, that it will be necessary to bring proofs of nobility to ()buil' admission into this corps ; not of that which dates from the battles of Cressy. of Poitiers, and Agincourt. but of that personal nobility which was acquired in the plains of Ileums, at the re talturz of Weissemleurg. at Lodi, at Arcola. at Marengo. at Ansterlks ; of that nobility which transmits to children great examples and great du ties, without any privileges. In this manner the whole Imperial Guard has been already formed.— What are called quarters of noltility.are four wounds. In this warlike family all the soldiers know each other. and are known to the Empetor. ( Jew nal de l'Elapire. A Journal, which has a very extensive circula ' time. contains the following passage : 44 We are justified in believing that the Emperor, the first among the warriors of every age. is leas desirous to add lure to the throat. by the formation of a military household, than to epee a career to a great number of men, who, front inclination, and a thou sand considerations, are under the necessity of adopting the profession of arms." The writer adds. the reform made in the military household of the King, contributed greatly to weaken the menial spirit is France." IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS—Wibraso•tt, Arial. 2.

DEFENCE OF THE COUNTRY. Mr. Secretary WINDHAM rose, and apologised oi the House, for being under the necessity of post poning the bringing forward of the plan for the De fence of the Country, pursuant to the notice he had given, on account of the severe indisposition of his Right Hon. Friend (Mr. Fox). He hoped, how ever, the delay would not be longer than to-mor row. Ile had just left Lis Right Hon. Friend be• tore he came down to the House, who had told him, that he (Mr. Fox) found himself considerably bet ter than lie was yesterday, and that lie had great hopes of &sing able to attend to-morrow. The SPEAKER Asked whether the Hon. Me xilier intended to tiz his Motioa.for alow?—lo which question, Mr. WINDHAM onsweredoYes.

Baronet said, these had ben a duty of Ss. ins pmed in the last Session of Parliament, on Dwelling Houses, in Ireland, which had been found oppres sive on a great number of the inhabitants, and had given considerable dissatisfaßion, as there were many houses that did not pay atall, sod as the chty was very trifling, ft was thou ht necessary to repeal *eh part of the said aft. He therefore moved—. “ That the Duty of Ss. on certain Dwelling Houses in Ireland, do cease and determine." Mr. J. FITZGERALD said, he bad foretold, when the duty alluded to was proposed, in the last Session, the great dissatisfaition it would create M Ireland. and had. therefore, strenuously opposed it. He was very glad, therefore, to find. that His Ma jesty's present Ministers had determined to satisfy the minds of the people, by easing them of so irk some a burden. The Motion was then agreed to, and the report ordered to be received to-morrow. IRISH BANK NOTES. The House then went into a Committee of the whole (louse, to take into consideration the Atts re lative to Irish Bank Notes ; in which, Sir J. NEWPORT stated, that by the An of the 4.3 d of His Majesty, the Bank of Ireland bad been placed, as to the issue of Bank Notes, neatly oa the same footing with that of England; but, that by the 44th of the King, that provision had been re pealed, and it was now thought expedient it should be revived ; he therefore moved, " that the An if the 43d, of the King, relative to the issue of Bank Notes, in Ireland, repealed by the Act of the 44th of His Majesty, be revived and amended."

General RAPP, one of his favourite officers, Ira the b of this requisition to that free city, with a promise of protalion and defence against al Foreign aggression, in care of compliance. This request, however, the Hamburghers have thought proper to rfuse, in the first instance, and deputed one of their Senators to Paris to remonstrate agaimt it. It requires no prescience to assert, that the miuioa will prove unsuccessful. Should the Ham' burghers plead poverty, Bon A r A nx c possesses finals. cial talents, which can find ways and means in much poorer place. Should they plead that Ham. burgh is a free city, and rest their claims to mom tion upon their rights, they may chance to have the demand doubled. They know their man too vial to provoke him by such a plea. 'fis speak to BONA. f lights, whe:e they militate against his purpose, would be an insult which he would net soon forgive. is possible, indeed, that the city of Harnburgh may obtain a little time, or, perhaps, the indulgence of paying the money by instalments; but, beyond that, they have aothing to ezpett Letters from Naples, of the With of February, state, that Gaeta still held out against the French; and that the Neapolitan troops who Lad with• drawn to Calabria, were embarking for Sicily.
