iurea by the Orders in -Council, there were 'hat meets before the Hoete which distmetiv disproved that assertion. It . was obvious from those docu ments, that after the Orders in Council the trade of this conntry rose prOgressively. It was true, that in the latter end of 1810 and 1811, our trade de clieed a little, and we were brought hick to the state in which we were in 1803, at the beginniAg of the war. Now, after all the attempts of the enemy to destroy our trade, after six years experience of the unorecedented system, which he had adopted to ruin us, it was satisfactory to know that we had been so far able to resist his efforts, that we were now in the same stale that we were in 1804. It could not surety then be said that we were ruined. The most sangeine man, if he had been told the plan of the enemy, and the means he had to enforce it, would not have ventured to hope that, at the end of s'x year,, our trade would be equal to what it was at the beginning of the war. With regard to the de crease of our trade in 1811, he begged to observe, _that after such a year of extraordinary commercial prosperity it was natural to exped some stagna tion ; but there were other causes which had a eteeng operation in 1811. In that year our losses in the Bah ic, by seizure and confiscation, were very great ; they were, in fad, greater even than the whole of our exports in a year of peace. But it was foebe recollected that the Orders in Council had nothing to do with these losses, they did not even operate in that patt - of Europe where these losses took place.—[We are under the necessity of giving an abridged account of the remainder of the Chan cellor of he Exchequer's speech—we will, however, if possible, give it mare in detail to-morrow.] Adverting to the objections which had been so forcibly, made by the Honourable Mover to the clause in the licenses, stating that notwithstanding all other documents on board the vessel to which the license was granted, she was bound to the port named in the license, he observed, that this clause was found cut and dried by the present Administra tion, and read a minute from the Treasury of the ()cession on which it was framed, signed by Lord Auckland, Lord Grenville, Laid H. Petty, Lord Temple, and Mr. Corry. Nothing indeed could be clearer than that the license excluded much of the perjury which, until the time of their being issued, had existed. As to the Committee of Inquiry to agree 10 it, would be to say to the Manufacturers-- " We ate sensible of your distresses, we pity you, and to shew our sympathy, we will put a total stop to the manufactures of the country." He trusted the House 'would not believe that the continuance of those measures which the war had rendered neces sary, had greatly injured the British revenue—alone. On the contrary, it would be found that the French Customs had materially suffered. It appeared that 'in 1803• the receipt of Customs in France was 27,023,102 I:vres; in 1804, 41,485,000 Jivres ; in 1805, 52,725,000 livres; in 1806, 51,727,000 livres; in 1807, 60,483,000 livres. That was the year in which the British Orders in Council were promulgated, and the consequence was, that in 1808, the French Customs fell to 18,523,000 lives. In 1809, they ,fell still further, to 11,54,000 lines. It was tioe, that the customs formed but a small part of the French revenue, bet that revenue had suffered internally as much as externally. The Hon. Gentleman had stated that Buonaearte enter tained an idea half philosophic and half, mad, but inimical to trade . . Certainly he was an enemy to British trade. Buonaparte thought that France could better spare her trade than Britain could, and in pursuit of that universal dominion to which Great Britain had hitherto proved the greatest bar rier, he was willing to annihilate the trade of France,erovided be could also annihilate the trade of Great Britain. It would be uncandid, however, were he not to observe that in 1810 the customs of France had risen to 49,068,000 livres. This was einefiy owing to the accidental confiscation of British property, and the incorporation in the French Empire of Genoa, Leghorn, and other parts of Italy. The embarrassment under which the Orders in Council had placed France, were sufficiently' etanilested in the Address of the Sena lift Buonaparte, in which they confessed that they were excluded from the means of completing the arst-nala of the Empire but by inland navigation, and expressed a hope that four or five years would enable that object to be attained. Thus it appear ed, that whatever effects were produced on our selves by the Orders in Council, the inconveniences occasioned by them to the enemy were consider able. It had been contended that the Berlin and Milan Decrees had been completely aban dened. This he positively denied. There had been no public Proclamation to that effeet. It had r. ly been stated that they would cease to ope rate, provided Great Britain gave up her Orders In Council, or America consented to defend her rights, and to take care that her ships should be no longer denationalized. The argument that these Decrees were merely of a municipal or commercial nature was very fallacious. They were issued in time of weir, with a hostile intent, and hostile effea. Mr. WILBERFORCE and Mr. BARING explained. Mr. WHITBREAD declared that the speech of the Chancellor of the Exchequer was calculated merely to mislead the House. He warmly supported the motion. Whether considered with respect to their dignity or their policy, or both, the House ought to agree to the appointment of a Committee. At least, he trusted that they would come to`a menac ing, if not to a decisive vote of the yestion. Mr. HERBERT argued in support of the motion. Lord L. GOWER stated, that he had had for some time in his hands a Petition against the Orders in Council, to the Prince Regent, from the Stafford soire eotterics, but that having declined to lay it before the Secretary of State, he had waited in vain fer three weeks to. present it to the Prince Regent in person. He should vote for the Com tuittee. Lord MILTON declared that he was precisely in theeaere situation as the Lord. Mr. Beoueneer made a short but animated reply, after which the House divided.

He did not, nor did any Gentleman who supported 'him, contend,.as has heretofore been contended, that the Orders in Council were founded upon an unjust principle; he merely confined himself to their impolicy, and insisted that our present com- . mercial embarrassments were attributable to them, and that they did not affe6t the enemy so much as they injured ourselves. It was, howLver, indisputably shewn on the other side, that our Trade, so far from having been injured by the Orders in Council, in creased beyond all precedent immediately after they were issued; that the decrease of trade and the com mercial embarrassments in is 1 i were not attribu table to them, but to causes which were obvious to every one; and that the trade of France, so far from not having suffered by the Orders in Coun cil, had been nearly annihilaled, for the Cus tom Duty in France, which was, when our Or ders in Council were issued, above .Go millions of livres, fell the next year to 18 millions, and in 1809 to 11 millions. The Chancellor of the Exchequer stated, that the Revenue of Customs ;n France was now - considerably higher, but that was not owing to an increase of trade,but to an increase of the duties„ which had been augmented to above five and twenty times their former amount. The debate lasted to a very late hour this morning, and the mo tion was at length rejected by a large majority. Yesterday the Duke of Yorm, Mr. PERCEVAL, and Lord CASTLEREAGH transacted busine,s with the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton House. Yesterday BENJAMIN TUCKER, Esq. Surveyor- General of the Duchy of Cornwall, had an audience of his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT, who was graciously pleased to receive an elegant snuff box, made of the silver which had been extracted from Wheal . Duchy Silver Mine, in the Manor of Calstock, parcel of the Duchy of Cornwall, now working under the auspices of his Royal Highness. Among the reports confidently rumoured in the ministerial circles, it is stated, that the Governor- Generalship, and chief command of the forces in the East Indies, had been offered to Lord MOIRA, but had been declined. Letters froth Cadiz inform us that the new Re gency of Spain have, for his services, cleated Mr. TUPPER, his Majesty's Consul at Valencia, a Baron of Old Castile, with an estate of 8000 dollars per annum. KING'S THaATItE.—The admirable Opera of La Clemenza di Tito, one of the most exq'iisite pro du&ions of MozArtT, was represented last night at th s place. TRAINIEZZANI and CATALANI seemed to be both restored to health, as they put forth all their vocal strength, and sung with great energy and ex pression. In one duet their powers were exerted with such skilful union, and such touching pathos, that they were encored. Another high gratification, though of a different kind, was afforded to the au dience, by the first appearance of DIDELOT with his wife for the season. - His excellence in his art" is well known; and Madame DIDELOT possesses merit that will render her a great favourite. They were both warmly received by a very numerous and splendid audience. On Friday last as Lord ST. VINCINT was sitting by himself in his room, and having occasion to reach forward, unfortunately fell upon the grate. His head coming in contact with one of the spikes which were placed on the top of the grate for the security of the wood, he was with some difficulty able to force himself back from the fire before he sustained any injury by the heat, though his str vants on entering found him covered with blood, from severe laceration occasioned by the spike. — His Lordship is, however, nearly recovered from the effects of this untoward accident. The Countess of ABERDEEN died on Sunday last, in Argyle street. SMITHEIELD CATTLE SHIM, FIRST DAY.—On Monday Mr. Sadler's Yard, in Goswell-street, was very crowded, during most of the day, with Agriculturists and others, to see the very fine shew of cattle, sheep, and pigs, and the new implements exhibited. Lord Somerville exhibited a pair of 8-year old Devon oxen, worked together in a yoke 86 days, and had since travelled .21 miles to the spew. ' The Duke of Bedford, a pair of 6-year old He reford oxen, worked 112 days on his park farm, traveled 42 miles. The Earl of Macclesfield, a pair of Devon oxen, worked 7l days by him, travelled 45 miles. The Earl of Essex, a 7-years old cow, fed on bay and oil-cake. Lord Castlereagh, a pen of five Merino ewe hogs. Mr. Ellis, a breeding sow, in store order, 'ls months old, has had two litters of pigs. SECOND DAY.

This was an action brought by an assured against his broker, for money had and received, upon a policy of insuiance, tfl'ected by the defendant, - the signature to which appeared to be struck through; and the policy was indorsed as settled with the nu dermiter as fora If's , : of tool. per cent. Mr. Park, for the defendant, contended, that the plaintiff could not bring his action fur money had and received, without skewing that the defenstant did actually re ceive the amount of 11. e loss: here it was only carried to account. but Lc-rd ELLENBDROUGH was clear, that it had ben set ticd over and over again, by Lord Kenyon, that this acti 41 was maintainable.. The circumstance of the underwriter having struck his name out of the pain y evidence sufficient that the money had been received by the brokr, at least vzoad o.e as,nred, who was by that circumstance estopped from all action upon The policy. If the assured was not to be paid tender this action, then, how else could he recover ? Cer tainly nut aganst the underwriter. Mr. PARK sub mit led, that this case was open to the defence of the underwriter upon merits ; but Lord ELLEN.' BoROUGII held not between these patties. The ac tion should have been brought bythe oroker agauns4 the under-writer, it he had been imprudent enough to bri ,, g it. Verdict for plaintiff; Damages fool. ,e NEWTON AND WIFE V. EVERAR.D AND OTHERS. This was an action. for running down the by. the Mary and Elizabeth ; 0.1 :lie night of the tits of Doi.% last, wh ere Uie Thames was three broad. The Captain and ship boy of the plaintiffs, vessel having proved that the Isis was lying at an chor—that the Elizabeth and Mary was sail.- iog down the river with b. , th wind and tide--- that the night was tn oan light —that there wa; plenty of room to pass on either side—aod bat the Captain ( ailed to the defendants' sloop before she ran foul of the plaintiff's' vessel : the first Mate of the defendants' sloop was called to prove, that it the, plaintiffs' vessel had put her helm a-port, the accident would not have happened. But Lord ELL.ENEOROUGII would not receive this evidence : he was not ,prepared , to say that it was necessary that o:ery small vessel ly ing at anchor should keep watch all night ; and it (h i e defendants' sloop had ample room to pass ors : either side., she must take the consequences of her preterence to run foul of a stationary vessel. The de 'endows' witness comtadiated the evidence for 63 plaintiffs in almost every particular, and said, that their ve4sel was moored in the centre of the river, the usual place of lying at anchor. Lord Eeeßs.Boßoubu reprobated such incredible te,timony ; and when the witness said that his cap tain had behaved like a gentleman to the plainte; crew, his Lordship observed, that tie had condualea his • vessel too much - like a gentleman, and should have shown himself a little more of the sailor. The ownership of the vessel could not be proved by the mere production of the ship's register,as hadbeeri decided in a recent case ; but the plaintiffs proved by a witness that Everard was one of the owners ;- and Lord ELLENEOROUgrII. said, that the defendant's wit nesses would most probably fix the other owners, for they would be called at the peril of such exami nation upon the voir dire. The first-mite Etl-,tually did prove the interest in all the other defendants, except one, against whom, as the evidence was doubtful" Mr. GAattow, for the plaintiffs, consented that verdict of " Not Guilty" should be entered.. Thfr other defenda nts were.foun d guilty ; the amount o£. the damages having been agreed by Mr. CAmrBELL: on the other side, to be referred.
