Every thing was tranquil in that Capital. A Gentleman who kit Guernsey yesterday morning informs us, that as the packet got under weigh, several small, vessels arrived from France, and the Governor received intelligence that all the troops on the coast had orders to proceed to Paris by forced marches. This is proof that the troops in the north and north-west provinces are depended upon by the King. . The following appeared in a third Edition of THE SUN of yesterday. We are sure the ptiblic will feel indebted to us, at this anxious tiine,' l .for stopping the Press as often as any matter worthy of being communicated arrives. The new, : i of to-clay confirms our intelligenc e that BuoNAPARTE could 'not have advanced far beyond Lyons.

Already we learn, that the Prussian troops - on the rigl►t bank of the Rhine have received orders to recross that river, to re occupy the provinces of the Livver and iddle Rhine. It is also affirmed, that orders have been gent to the interior of Prussia to make fresh troops march to the Rhine.

In the Committee, Lord GREY proposed 725. as the pro tecting price ; hut this was negatived without a division—as was a clause, submitted by Lord GRENVILLE, for the importation of foreign corn, if the (Omura loaf should exceed 12d. in London, ntIONAPARTE, it is e fiden t 1 y- said in private letters, had not left Ly ons on t h e 13 th.

THE COURT.—Yesterday his Royal Highness . the .PRINCE REGEsr held a Court at Carlton house, which was attended by the Archbishop of CANTranoRY, and most of the Ministers.—His Royal Highness held a Privy Council, to which WM. ADAM, Esq. was introduced, and sworn in a Member,---A Proclamation was 'agreed upon to proclaim the Peace lately concluded with America. Yesterday morning a messenger Wils sent off with dispatches for Vienna. In the evening an other Messenger was sent to Paris. A letter from Barbadoes, dated the Ist of February, mentions that two packets were just arrived. The Dey of. ALGIERS has intimated, that no molestation would be given to the Danish navi gation by the Algerine cruizers. We learn by the Master of the Jessie, of this port, which arrived here on Friday from Cadiz, that two days previous to his departure from thence, which was on the 19th ult. the Expedi tion' for the reduction of - the rebel Provinces in South America had sailed, with a most favOurable wind, which continued afterwards , to prevail for upwards of eight days. This completely contra dicts the, reports given in the London PaperS a few days ago, that the projectior the present had been given up, and the army. disembarked. It is, however, added by our informant, that the Ex-, peditionsaiied with prospects the least flattering that can well be imagined. The troops were in a state of mutiny ; a number of executions had taken place - amongst them, and the state Of th e vessels carryi ng th em out was so deplorable, that' it was hardly expected the majority of them would reach their destination.--( Greenock Advertiser.)

We stop the Press once more, in order to assure the Pithlic, upon the information' of a Gentleman on whom we can depend, that so far from truth is the 'account of BUONAPARTE having reached Paris on Tuesday last, he had not, on that day : advanced farther than 30 leagues from Lyons. We have the pleasure to add, though not with out sonic degree of mortification, that the con sternation:which prevailed in Paris was subsiding into firtnness and tranquillity, as it in a great de gree arose from the extreme anxiety of our coun trymen and their connections to hasten from Pa ils, and the eagerness with which they resorted to the Bankers for pecuniary supplies."

OP A CONFIDENTIAL LETTER FROM BRUS- I'AIILLCAIRZNU. HOUSE OF LOltbS, 'FRIDAY, MARCH 17, The Earl of Derhy presented Petitions from several-places in the County of Lancaster against the Corn Bill.—The Duke of Gloucester presented a similar Petition Irons Hackney.— Lord Grenville presented a similar Petition from Westmin ster, signed by 34,900 persons, and Petition; frees several other places.—Earl Stanhope from liornsty, AMERICAN TREATY. • Earl GREY conceiving the papers relating to the Negociations at Ghent, which he had allUded to on a former evening, .to be necessary to the dis cussion of the Treaty with America, wished to ask the Noble Earl opposite, if he had any objec tion to allowing a motion for the production of these papers to take precedence of the motion for the - Address to be moved fmr by the Noble Earl? The Earl - of LtvEttruoL. conceived the produc tion wished for by no means necessary to the con sideration of the Treaty ; but be bad no objection to the postponement of the !notion fur an Address rill after the recess, The Marquis of WEI,LESLiCY thought the Papers absolutely necessary to the formin g. a• correct judgment of .the Treaty ; and be wis hed. th e cussion on this subject to take place on the earli est day. He was anx'ous to state his opinion on this question, and Wednesday next u ould suit him as well as any day. After some further conversation between Lord Liverpool, Lord Grenville, and the Marquis of Wellesley, it was finally agreed on that the Eno tion of Earl Grey for the production of the Papers should come on on Wednc.sday next, and the mo tion for an Address the earliest day after the recess. LONDON.PETITION AGAINST THE CORN BILL. Lord GRENVILLE pursuant to his notice rose, to move that the prayer of this Petition be taken into consideration. In the course of a speech of great length upon the subject, the Noble Lord expatiated on the numerous, complicated and im portant interests connected e.ith the prayer of the Petition. After the document . was read on the motion of bis Lordship, he observed, that in the. interval since he bad originally brought forward the Petition, he -had endeavoured to ascertain, as. well as he could, whether there were any general rules of the House that could be objected against the general convenience and propriety of hearing the Petitioners, as prayed for by their Counsel and evidence. And as far as he could discover, there were neither any rules, nor any established practice of proceeding, that militated against a compliance with the prayer of the Petition. For his own part, he recollected numerous cases where counsel and evidence were heard, in matters of great and serious consideration like the present, to the interests of all classes of the community. Here mischief could not be entailed on the mass of the population, without its being entailed in a peculiar degree on the City of Laudon. It was seriously incumbent on the House to hear what the Petitioners had to allege, before they inflicted so great and pressiug evil upon them, and upon the ex tent to which they were likely to be affected. Much information had been obtained from past discus sions, and much more important information was likely to be obtained from the communications of those whose local and immediate interests were di rectly implicated. There was no ground of necessity established from the.introduction of the measure, whatever may have been urged on the score of.ex- . pediency. The price of 80s.had been taken at an averageable guess. A certain number of people were desired to give an opinion, and an average was taken upon their Opinions. .As little could the principle of the prices of the growth of Corn be applicable as a rule, as even no two fields on the same farm could produce Corn at the same rate. They had seen from their own evidence how much the rates of labour depended on the prices of. Corn : and they were aware of the se rious question that had been raised, as to what would be the assize price of bread in London un der a standard price of 80s. And, on this point, it was necessary to hear what the City of London could establish. Among the great points which they would have to consider in the proposed ex amination were—whether the prices of bread could he raised without, at the same time, raising the prices of labour ? Whether the prices of la bour could be augmented without, at the -same time, augmenting the prices of all the products of that labour ? and, thirdly, whether such an aug mentation could take place without seriously af fecting the export trade of the metropolis ? Iu every view that could be taken of the subject, the proposed examination was necessary, and called for by the peculiar circumstances of the case.— Neither the Petitioners nor himself had a wish to interpose any unfair or unreasonable delay to the progress of. the discussions, they were prepared and in readiness to come forward in support of their allegations.. He trusted their Lordships would condescend to comply with the prayer of their Petition, and the more especially as the de clared opinion of the country was with them.— His Lordship concluded by movin g -- "That this House do comply with the prayer of the Peti tion of the City of London, and that the Petitioners lie heard by their Counsel and Evidence, in support of their zalcga- Lions at the Bar of the House." On the question— The Lou) CHANCELLOR quitted the Woolsack, and observed, that' from every view which he felt it his duty to take of the subject, it was certainly a most important one : either as it respected in dividuals or the country, and the interests of all those, who, living under the protection of its equ. , l laws; could come to that bar, and claim au equal degree of attention from their Lordship's House. And he would tell their Lordships in the face of the cotmtry, that it was one of the duties they bad to discharge, to give a respectful, atten tive and deliberate consideration to the petitions of all his IVlajesty's.Subjects ; but on these their Lordships were exclusively to decide upon their own judgments, upon their own responsibility. But God forbid that the moment should ever ar rive when the Parliament of this country should aet upon any other than their own sense and their own judgment—that moment he would not wish to savive'.—The measure to which the Petition referred was - one calculated for the benefit of . the general interest of his Maj e sty' s su bj ects. If it were not so, it ought not so pass. It was cer tainly fir the benefit of agriculture, and in that sense for the benefit of every one in the cum- ~~~il~ )?
