IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. 119U.i'E OF COMMONS. I'HURSAY, APRIL 22. MR. WoNrio,vo presented a Vecition from the ':isoners co - nfined in the Gaol of Fisherton Anger, in the County .of Wilts, praying for relief.-o.rder s ed to lie on the - fable. ' WEST INPIA POC,K.Z. Lerd H.AWKESBURY presented a Petition from thee - Wrest India Dock Company, praying for a MO dificatiwYof the Aft- relative to the West India Docks. -.He- stated, that great progress- had been made in the formation of the Docki, the Import rQck, or that for the entrance of Ships, being so nearly completed, that it might be opened for the reception of vessels aboqt the middle of July. By of P.aliament, however, the regulations thire - eriaaed, could not be carried into effeft until the whole of the Docks were completed. It was the:AU:II of the Petitioners, that as soon as the Im. porx Dock was finished, they might be empowered 'so - open it under the same regulations as prescribed by the Aft, to take place when the whole of the DoAks,should be finished, only with certain modifi citiOhs. If a )3ill was passed for this purpose, there wa, s „fin, doubt it would be of essential benefit to the. ccalmercial interests of the Cotiritry. • • The Petition was brought tip, react, and referred to a Committee. ' Mr, ROBSON asked a question'relati7e to some Pail:Ts concerning the Finances of Ireland, which had icon been hid on the Table. Mr. _CQRRY said, the circumstance arose from the year which was formerly used in Ireland, in making up the Public Accounts, and which began the 25th of Mardi, being now changed to the first of January. s This had caused much confusion in the 'Public Offices, arid had given rise to many clerical eri'ors, which required some time to retify. He hoped,, however, this delay would not exist after the present Session. After a few more words from Mr. RouFori and Mr. CGR.RY the conversation dropped. Mr. DENT moved for leave to bring in a Bill to ...,.;rend the Provisions of the Aft of the 34. George 111. relative to the oaths administered' to Voters at Eleaions, to all oaths .required by law, to be taken by Voters at Eledions for Members to serve in Parliament.--Leave given. I3ANK RESTRICTION BILL. Mr. ALEXANDER brought op the Report of the 'Bank P_etrittion Bill, which was read and agreed to. Mr. JONES said, he held in 'his hand a clause to which he trusted there would be no objeaion. He thought the period of RestriCtion proposed by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER' was too long, and he heard no reason.given for such a prolonga_ tion. He then proposed the clause, the objeft of whiCh was to prevent the Bank from issuing Notes' beyond their attual Capital. The CHANCELL'OK_of the EXCHEQUER said, as the Hon. Gentleman had said that he had not heard , any reason given for adopting the amend_ meat made by the Committee in the Bill now be_ • :fore the House, respeCting the rriod of continuing the Restriction on the Bank, he thought he was, in his tarr, bound to say, he hadheard no reason for adopting the clause which the Hon. Gentleman had offered to the House. Waiting with patience for the purpose of hearing a reason, 'anti nut having heard any, he thought it incumbent on him, to op-. pose the Hon. Gentlernarn proposition, Mr. DENT said, the clause went to ere& an in quisitorial power over the Bank. Mr. JoNEs explained: The clause Was then negatived, and the Bill was ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. - Mr. COI RY moved, that the Aft of the 37th of Geo. 111., be .read pro forma : he then said, that he iose'to move for leave to bring in a Bill to continue that Aft, which was to restrkt the' money pay_ • meots of the Bank of Ireland, He said, it would not be necessary for him to detain the House upon this occasion, the ,treasure which he now proposed to continue had become necessiiry in Ireland, in consequence of its adoption in England, and a Bill having been brought into the United Parliament to continue the restriaion upon the Bank of England for a longer period, it would be proper, upon the same grounds, to adopt a similar measure with re gard to Ireland. He therefore concluded with mov ing for leave to bring in a Bill to that effett. Leave was given to bring in the Bill. Mr. LEE gave notice that be should on Tuesday next move for leave to bring in a Bill for the better regulation of the Courts of Law in Ireland, similar to that brought in last Session. Mr. ALEXANDER brought up the Report of the committee of Supply, which was read and agreed to. Mr. SMI'rH, from the ,Treasury of Ireland, pre sented Accounts of the Taxes in Ireland for the year :got to lie on the Table, and to be printed. Mr, ALEXANDER brought up the Report of the Committee relative to the importation of French .W.ines---which was read and agreed tc?, and a Bill ordered. Mr. N. VANSITTART bronght up a Bill to enable the Lords of the Treasury to issue Exchequer Bills on the credit of the Aids of the present year—which was read a first tune, and ordered to be read a second time to-morrow. DUTY ON EXPORTS AND IMPORTS. Mr. N. VANSITTART moved that the Order of the Day for the House to resolve itself into a Com mittee to-mortow, on the Exports and Imports Duty Bill, should be read—which being read, he moved, to postpone the Committee till Tuesday _ , _ next, as several Gentlen,en who were not then in - their places, wished' to be present at the discussion. —Agreed to. Mr. M. A. TAYLOR wished to know if his - suggerstion relative to Surveyors and Surcharges had been attended to. Mr. N. VANSITTART said, there was a Bill in a state of -preparation, but- it was not ye; ready to he laid before the House. The Income Tax Repeal Bill passed through a Committee, and the Report was ordered to be re ceived to-Morrow. Adjourned at a quarter past five till to-morrow. •..

ZOILM QVIS DICERS TALSTIM AUDEAT? LONDON, APRIL 23, 1802. Last night we received Paris Iwo-nab of the 18th and 19th instant. The Monitcur of the 18th contains the official notice of the Ratification of the Definitive Treaty of Peace between this Country and France having been made by the CHIEF CONSUL on Saturday last, and on Sunday iwrning at nine o'clock the Ratifications were exchanged. A Proclamation was issued by the French Go. vernment on Saturday izzt, nn the subjed, i of Reli_ gion, which appears in the Monitcur of the follow ing day, and it is perhaps worthy of remark, that the Official Paper of that day beers; for the first time, the Christian date of Sunday. These Papers give but an imperfed description 'of. the grand Solemnity of Sunday last, at Notre Dame, but they promise a better. Such Details as they contain will be found under , the Paris Head, It is stated in some of the Papers, that a Senatus-Con ruitum was to pass, granting an Amnesty to the Emigrants, with the exception of a thousand or twelve hundred. No such Decree, however, it is to be observed, had at - Wally passed. The subjed is im portant to many, and therefore we shall wait for further information, which we shall, no doubt, have in a day or two, before we pronounce deci sively upon it. No price of the French Funds is given in the Monitenr, but the Clef du Cabinet, of the 18th, states the Tiers Consol. of the preceding day, to have been at 55. 75. THIS morning the Dutch and Hamburg' ',Mails that were due, arrived. By the former we have re. ceived intelligence of the Definitive Treaty having been ratified by the Legislative Body of the Bata vian Republic on the 16th ; and the same day the Ratification was announced amidst thunders' of 'ap plause to the Council of State. The j o y which this event has diffused among all ranks of People in the Republic, is unbounded. On the 17th a Courier ,set off fro►n the Hague to Paris, wi:h the RaLifica. tion. By the latter we learn, that as soon as• the Treaty of Peace between England and Frtrace was publicly known, the Emigrants began to flock from all quarters towards the Left Bank of the Rhine, on their return to France. On the 4th of this month, the news of the Definitive Treaty reached Vientra, on which the priCe of the State Paper had a great and immediate rise. It is also reported in that Capital, that the Delegation for adjusting the Indemnities are to hold another Congress at Strasburgh. It is now understood _that the Proclamation of Peace will not be made bekbre Monday next,— There is the ceremony of putting the Great Seal to the Ratifications before the Proclamation. General Coo TE, it is said, suecccds the late Ge neral ADEANE, in the command of the 45th Regi ment. This Officer has frequently distinguished himself during the late War. Next Monday, at eleven o'clock, is the time fixed upon for the Lottery Contraftors to attend at the Treasury, to hear the new plan read for prevent ing low insurances ; and on Wednesday the bidding for the Lotteries will take place. The LORD MAyoR, we understand, has stated to the War Office, that he conceived it necessary, for securing the peace of the City, that one of the City Rcgiment3 of NEMOn ohowd be k e p L - u p ; in consequence of which application,' the order for dis banding one of the Regiments is suspended until the affair can be considered. The Tower of Belem, we believe, alually fired upon the Afliz e as she stood in for the port of Lis bon. Things of this kind have occurred before, and we have no doubt but the circumstance will be settled to the satisfaEtion of all patties. It was yesterday said that the fall of the Funds was in consequence of large Sales on account of the Dutch, but this we believe to have been perfealy unfounded. Yesterday, the Purser of the Neptuire, Captain JoHN REDDIEi attended at the East' India House, and received his final dispatches; previous to thede parture of that ship for China direct. If Mr. MANNERS SUTTON has declined the office of Solicitor-General, it is entirely on account of his health, which would not permit him to discharge its laborious duties in the way in which his honour able and gentlemanly feelings would prompt. Lord CHARLES SOMERSET MANNERS has offered himself a Candidate to fill the "vacancy in the repre sentation for the County of Cambridge, occasioned . by the death of General ADEANE. Several thousand Troops will immediately sail from France as a reinforcement to the Army of St- Domingo. GANTHEAUMICS Squadron will convey them out, .N 4 VA 4 NEWS.

YESTERDAY evening, after post, arrived His Majesty's Ships Glory, of 98 guns, Capt. WELLS, St, Albans, of 6+ guns, Cart, HARDY, and Non such, of 61. guns, Capt. CRAVEN, with . the Cruizer and Gannet Sloops of War. Sailed His Majesty's Sloop Galgo, Capt. HAw nis, with men for . a 'passage to Portsmouth. This day came into Harbour, the Glory, St. Al-. bans, and Nonsuch, and have got to Blackstakes. It is a tribute due to the worthy Tars whd have so eminently stood forth in defence of their Coup. try, to say that their conduit here,: at the paying off of . His Majesty's Ships, is particUlarly orderly : they preserve and slies,i/thai respell to their .Officeri on shore, that they deservedly: shew4i •therrt-vihile o ,l they were unner-ttior couirt7:7-71-90,.(lbel)praisg cannot be given to the resident Miigistrate, B, B THAM, Esq. who • has used every: means in his' power to prevent confusion and. riot since the dis-,1 mantling of the. Fleet ; and he has not been less gilant in preventing those miscreants that frequent sea -ports at a time like the in - esent, from robbing , the generous Tars in their moments of excess, of the wages they have received for their eminent- ser vices to their King and Country, Eight Sail of the Line for the Peace Establish ment are already commissioned. •' They consist of. one Three decker, and seven Seventy.tours, Alen enter for them very fast. The number of Commanders to be made Post, we understand to be thirty. We have heard of many traits charaderistic of the generous spirit of our Seamen, but troth these we select the following, as peculiarly noble and praise worthy. In the Mediterranean Fleet it was the. custom, by way of saving all the bread possi ble, to allow the men threepence per lb. for all of their allowance that they left unconsumed. The sum due to the Seamen - on account of - this saving, was about 701. The other day the ship was paid at Portsmouth, and they had to receive this money. One Seaman (the only one who ti'd suffered in this way in that ship) had lost his sight in Egypt : the rest of the Crew generously made him a present of the whole of the above sum. , . The Militia are certainly to be . reduced to,mor. row. it Measure new•ao been adiiptM by the present Commander . in Chief, that..of ame liorating the unfortunate situations of the sick acid lame, A Circular Letter has been.sent to the, dif. ferent Agents for Militia Regiments, inforthing them that " the Adjutants (the only Officers re maining in pay after the redueiion) are to take charge of all the men that are unable to march home; that they arc to subsist them,. and provide every medical assistance, until they are able to march home; and that in the mean time their bills for what is wanted for that service on their monthly estimates are to be honoured by the Agents." Such condul on the part of the Commander in Chief refleffs the highest honour on his justice and humanity, as in the usual mode those unfortunate men were Jett without subsistence or relief of any kind. Mr. _DUNDAS has given public notice to. his friends in Edinburgh, that he does not intend to offer himself again as their Representative. It is not certain who is to succeed him. The late Bishop of B ATH a n d W ELLS is said to have left a very large fortune, - z0,0001.,0f which.he has hequeathed"to his Daughter, Mrs, KING, wife of Joll NI KING, Esq. Under Secretary of State. The Prison-ships at Chatham Ae to lie fitted for Floating Magazines, the return of Powder being so ,t great that the Ord nance Magazines have not room to stow it.
