A Committee of their Lordships• afterwards sat in the robing chamber upon the projeled Improvements to be made us the House, and which was attended by Mr. Wyatt, and Mr. Groves, of the Board of Works. HOUSE OF. COMMONS. FRIDAY, DEC. 24. Mr. lit v r wc. from the Customs, brought up an Account of the quantity of Flax, Scc_ imported for the last ten years. —Ordered to lie on the Table. The SPE AKER acquainted the House, that the Petitioner for an Undue Eledion for Kingston upon Hu! , had not en tered into the proper recognizance ; and also, that the Free men who had petitioned, had not entered into the proper re cognizance, therefore the Order for hearing the Petition was discharged. T b e Sk zAlc ER also stated, that th e p roper recogn i zances had not been entered into in the case of the Petitions ftom Newcastle under Line, from Tregone, and from Seaford. The Order for hearing those Petitions was therefore dis charged. A • new Writ was ordered for Edinburgh, in the room of the Right Hon. H. Dux ons, created Viscount Melville. A new Writ was ordered for the Burghs of Dumfries, icc. in the room of C. Hope, Esq. who has accepted the Chiltern Hundreds.

Jr.S Holland r French o Hamburgh o - - - - a THE SUN. SOLIAN QUIS DICER& raLsum AUDLAT ? LONDON, DECEMBER zs, 18oz. \V this morning received the Maniteur of the ztst. It is entirely filled with the Debates of the English Parliament, and with a new Plan of Public Education, proposed by Citizen MrAzt, for the Italian Repul►lic.—The Funds are rising consider. ably ; they are 54. 90. A Dutch Mail also arrived in Town this morn ing. The intelligence of the EN'? EROR of GER MANY having ratified the Conc/asum of the Deputa tion, is confirmed. But the most extraordinary in telligence brought by the Mail, is in a Letter from Constantinople, dated Toth November.- It states, that Colonel SEBASTIAN! had arrived at Alexandria from France, and that having obtained an interview with General STEuART, he said he was sent by the FIRST CONSUL to inquire into the state of affairs in Egypt, and to know the reason the English Troops did not evacuate Alexandria, in pursuance of the Treaty of Amiens. To this General STEUART replied, that he had nothing to do with the political causes which oc casioned the delay, and that as soon as he received orders to evacuate Egypt, he would of course obey them. It is further added, that Colonel SEBASTI AN! dispatched a Corvette to France with. this An. swer of the British General. We are very much inclined to doubt the truth of this account, because, if the French Government were dissatisfied with our retaining possession of Egypt, they would undoubtedly apply to the Bri tish Government for an explanation, and not to an Officer who certainly could only obey the orders he received. It is, however, not improbable, that Colonel SEIBASTIANI has been sent by the FIRST CONSUL to get some information respelling the state of Egypt. Th e P RINCE of WALES leaves Brighton soon for the Season, The DUKE of YORK left Town yesterday for Bath. Lord CAVAN arrived from Egypt on Thursday, Hxt.Ey ADDINGTON left Town on Wednes day for SumetSctsaire. Lady CTEL;;;CIANA (3)1IDON has heenindisposed at Paris, and Lady Mq4INT EDGCUMI3E very se riously so. Lord MELVILLE is not the first of that title. Among the extin4 Peerage we find MELVILLE, Lord MELVILLE, eXrirla x 683, restored 1689, and afterwards merged in LEv EN. Mr.. and Mrs., DAVISON set off on Suntl,ay morn ing from heir house in St.latpc4's-sitiu; A on their way. to Parise THE DUTCH MAIL. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. to, TODAY we have received advices from Egypt, that a French Frigate and a Corvette have arrived at Alexandria. On board the Frigate was the well.known Colonel SEBASTIANI, who was lately sent from Paris to Constantinople and Algiers.— Immediately after his landing he had a confe rence with the English General, STUART,E to whom he declared, that he had it in commission from the FIRST CONSUL to inquire into the situation of affairs in Egypt, and that he wished to be in formed of the reason why the fulfilment of the Treaty of Amiens, by the Evacuation of Egypt by the British Troops, was delayed ? To this General STEUART answered, that political reasons and motives were no part of his business; that he waited for Orders from his Government, and when they arrived he should obey them. Citizen SEBASTIAN' immediately dispatched the Corvette to France, with the answer of the English General, and proceeded himself to Cairo. Though the late Letters from Egypt brought in telligence so very unfavourable to the Turks, the Porte has now receiveil advice, that the Troops of the Beys in Upper Egypt have been surrounded by the forces of the PACHA of CAIRO. OMAR BEY has gone over to the Pacha with all his Troops. The plague has made great ravages among the Sol diers of the Beys. [These latest Dispatches which came direetly from Constantinop/e,make no further mention of the Earth quake of the 26th of Odober ; whence it is evi dent that the reports of the great damage occa sioned by it to that City, are without foundation.— Note of Hamburgh Editor.] VIENNA, Dze. S. YESTERDAY evening, at half past five, Her Majesty the EMPRESS, to the great joy of the 'Court, and all faithful Subjeas, was safely de livered of an Archduke, who was thiS day at noon baptized in the presence of the whole Court, assem bled in Gala, the great Officers of State, and the Foreign Ministers, by Cardinal FLANGUIE, who a&ed for the aged and feeble Cardinal Mt c AZZ t, by the name of CHARLES, in honour of the ARCHDUKE CHARLES. This joyful event was announced by a triple discharge of artillery, and Couriers were im. mediately dispatched to Naples and Madrid, to carry the pleasing intelligence to her illustrious Pa. rents and Sister, the Princess of Asturias. We are to-day enabled to confirm the advice that His IMPERIAL MAJESTY has ratified the Recer, or Plan of Indemnities finally agreed to by the Depu tation of the Empire, and sent off the Ratification to Ratisbon. It is said that orders have beeu al. ready sent for the Evacuation of Passau. MANHEIM, Dtc.lo. A Courier yesterday passed through Strasburg, who carries the Treaty concluded between France and Austria to Vienna. The future ELECTOR of SALZBURG, (Tuscany) will receive, it is said, among other things, the Bishopric of Eichrtadt, for which an equivalent will be given to Bavaria by exchanges. FRONTIERS OF RUSSIA, Drc.lr. A Courier from St. Petersburgb, dispatched from the French Ambassador there to Paris, brings advice that the EMPEROR will accept the guarantee of Malta, as soon as some alterations shall be made in the Articles of the Treaty of Amiens, relative to that point. News has been received at New-York, from Mar tinique, by the way of Barbadoes, since the former of these isles was ceded to the French, and resin. ed into their adual possession. The People of Co. lour in Martinique had been already prohibited the use of stockings, shoes, and the other dress of the Whites, and 'Lid been reduced to wear only short jackets, pantaloons, and linen shirts.— A duty of two and a half per cent. was imposed on flour and other provisions imported from Ame . rica. A duty of five per cent. was laid on the ex ports from the Isle. The English were treated with the utmost politeness, by the French. Over the Americans coming into the Isle, the Captain-Ge -1 neral seemed inclined to exercise a suspicious vigi llance. The Times of ye,s,terday has a long Article re spe6ting Capt. IYAvEa oNE, DUKE de BOUIL LON, which, like most of the Articles in that Paper, proceeds upon great misinformation, and very wrong grounds. That Gentleman Went to France with regular. Passports both from Lord HAwNEs- BURY and 111" OTTO, as Capt. D'AUVERGNE, that he might , not give a shadow of offence by the as sumption..of a title to which however he. has the most -legitimate claim, and he landed in France from Jersey, merely because it was most convenient for him to do so. It certainly could make no diffe. rence in the French Government, thus going in a regtdar way as an Officer in the British Navy, whe ther he landed at Calais or Granville. He went from no motives of curiosity, but upon private by, very important to himself, no less than to endeavour to recover an immense and princely pro. perry, legally devised to him. As this subje6t, however, is now before the Gswernment, we abirain Ism making any futchex remarko upon it;; Flom, NAVAL NEWS. DEAL, Dec. 24. THE Ship Trojan, of London, J.

GIBRALTAR, Nov. 29. ON the 24th the Niger sailed from hence fat Malta, with Brigadier General OAKES and his OW/ and two hundred recruits for that garrison. The St. Fiorenzo is still here wind-bound, s he having made several fruitles s a t tempts to Ot— through the Gut.

On the 26th, Lieutenant-General CASTANEZ, , the new Commandant ai St. Roque and Al ges _ras• came from Algesiras to pay his respefts to OS ROYAL HIGHNESS the Governor; he was a ccom• partied by about thirty Spanish Officers on this oc' casion, and was saluted by the . Garrison, both oil his landing and embarking to return. General CASTANEZ bears a very high cha' rafter for abilities and integrity, and in his inter view with His ROYAL HIGHNESS, he is said to have , s condufted himself with the ut most lib era li t y an d politeness, offering to do every thing in his power that could contribute either to the comfort of his ROYAL HIGHNESS or the - Garrison, or to proto 6 a good understanding between the two Countries.'
