The Committee has: published its first Report, con sisting of the evidence already obtained by them irons Messrs. MAR.TINiAI7,GALLOYiAT,.DONILIN, BRAMAN, TAYLOR, ATAUDgLAT, HAGUE (all of whom are themselves engineers, and therefore deeply interested in obtaining permission to ex pert the machinery which they . manufacture), and Mr. FaANCIS'PLACE, who, although not an -' l3 gineer, is an exporter of machinery. We shall insert the Whole ' ef the evidence given by these par t,ies in some of our succeeding.papors, with some observations on its tendency. Like every other class of manufacturers, they are of course ex tremely. desirous of extending the market for their °Wo products,and they are therefore very naturally -anxious to obtain the repeal of the present prohi jaws, But there are two classes of persons 'mtnediately interested in the decision (to say no °dug of its very important connection with the ge •neral welfare of the community), viz : the makers the maghinery, and the British Interests by whom l hat machinery is used, for the purposes of further and subsequent Manufactures: The interests of the latter class, which is incomparably the most numerous and 'important, would be deeply injured li Y thatvery permission to export machinery which the engineers hope Would 'be so beneficial to • th e 11 ; 4 and . when their evidence, therefore, comes beto heard, it will be-found to be very different from that of the former. The follpyring pare in the Sheffield Mercury received this stiews that the • manufacturers, &c. of tllai town, are fully aware of the:injurious consa , ""ces. likely to ensue tuthein . from the adop tion of the proposed measure : "On Tuesday last,- a meeting of the merchants and menu i .Seeturets of, this town. and neighbourhood was held at the C utlers' -hall, Thomas Dewsnap, Esq , the master cutler, in the Chair, to take into c onsideration the decision of the House -of Common, that a select Committee be appo i n t e d t o en q uir e into the state of the law in the United Kingdom, and its come ' luences, respecting artisans leaving the kingdom and resid. 'ng abroad;, also, into the itatc of the law, and Its conse quences, respecting the exportation of tools and machinery; and Alto the state of the law, and its effects, so far as relates to the curnhinatiou of workmen and others to raise wages, or to regu ' late their wages, or hours'of working ; and to report their opi tibrt and observations thereon to the House." After a long discussion, a Committee . was appointed, to &press to the House of Commons the disapprobation of the meeting, or any altera tion which regard to the exportation of machinery, the emigra tion of artizans, &c." Bet even from the evidence of the engineers t l, etnselies, the strongest arguments may be de duced against. ,permitting the exportation of ma . cliinery and the emigration of artisans ; and not a few facts, .which they obviously imagine to be favourable to their wishes, are, on the con trary, conclusive against them, as we shall hereafter demonstrate. In the mean time, we - • will 'only .remar k, that, as the principal argu tnent used in Parliament in favour of the repeal, was drawn from the alleged frequency with which the present laws are evaded, the Engieeers, 'in their eagerness to 'support that argument have kindly explained the means •by which the evasions have been effected! Some of them . have even, with most extraordin ary ca ndeur,.- detailed their own successful sch " ei of this . kind And one Gentleman, forg e tti ng _ "IS obligations to certain Custom-house Oacers wh o ,L had winked at his' irregularities ) . has gone so far as to tell a Committee of the Le gislature what follOwsi : --cc I must do all the • Superior Officers n 4 i r , that the utmost -lib'',o:aulzu.tystoms the justice to s a y, has been invariably exercised by them; and it :cases wher e it that th e y seas only i n was impossible to shut their have ever ventured to keep "them open ! !" —We pardon the Eeginser imprudence and unskilfulness in making this disclosure (whatever his friends the Superior Offi .cers of the Customs may think of it,) in cmasideration Of his having, with his scientific brethren ) so effec tually c , opened the eyes" of Government and of the country on this very important subject. The Means • hitherto successfully adopted• for evading tl le laws will doubtless be frustrated hereafter ; and thus - one plausible argument for the repeal of the prohibition falls to the ground. A.tc It Its..-We understand that dispatches were r eceived at the Admiralty from Vice-Admiral Sir HARRY Nsar.E, dated the 25th of February, off Algiers, where Sir ninny was maintaining a strict blockade of that port, in which it was supposed . the whOle Algerine force was collected. Although it is evident froM the continuation of hostilities, that the DEY had not made the full concessions required of him, it ix understood, that on the appearance of the British Admiral, he had directed some EurOpean captives, lately made, to be placed on the footing of prisoners of war, although they had up to that time been treated as slaves.—( Morning Paper.) Bayonne Papers to the 29th ult. have brought intelligence from Madrid, but not later than the 7 3 d• It s t ates that the celebrated Champion of the d his l the T rapp i st, Fai th, h as c l osed %Ind •military Political career in a manner which he little expected_. Having received orders to quit the capital, be presented himself to the King, and demanded, as the reward of his services, the Su perintendence of the Police of Cuenca, with the military command of that place. The King, with his usual art, referred him to the Minister at War, who having probably received secret in structions, refused his reque=t, and told him it was the King's•pleasure that he should return to his convent. The Trappist flew into a passion ; the Minister called him a Liberal and a Free mason, and had him turned out of the room, and the King immediately ordered a Colonel and fifty cavalry to escorthim back to his convent, and to deliver him into , the hands of his Superior. If this be true, and a new struggle should arise in Spain, there is doubt how the Trappist would use the great influence which lie possesses over the minds of the people. He has probably now discovered that an absolute • King is not the best of Kings, and might feel disposed to assist in pulling down the brazen idol which he has con tributed to erect. Ferdinand had issued several Decrees, imposing various duties, and establish ing new regulations, especially respecting the im portation of salt fish. MR. CANNINIVS ANSWER TO SrR J AIACILIN- TosN.—An error has accidentally crept into our report of Mr. CANNING'S answer to Sir JASIES MACKINTOSII, on Friday night. Our report was correct as far u the words " authentic shape." NVhat 31r. CANNING afterwards said was in substance as follows :—" That he (Mr. Canning) had waited for the ac knowledgment from Spain of the, dispatch of the .30th of January; and that as soon as that acknowledgment arrived, he had hastened - to lay the dispatch upon the table ; but that, with this dispatch, the-communication of papers would, ac cording to Mr. Canning's intention, , end. That the object in laying these papers before Parliament was to put the House and the country in possession of the principles by which his Majesty's Government had been guided ; and of the conduct which they had hitherto pursued in this most delicate and important subject. If, as he hoped, those principles and that conduct were calculated to entitle them to the confidence of Parliament, he should resist any attempt to provoke further disclosure, or to bring their further conduct, step by step, under discussion. If his Hon. and Learned Friend did not feel this confidence, he (Sir James Mackintosh) would of course make any motion he pleased ; but to any such motion he (Mr. Canning) would oppose a decided, and, he trusted, effectual resistance." Mn. PiTarcK-CONOLLY.—A. corresspondent, who has this day arrived from liertford, has given us the following particulars relative to this gentleman's conduct after receiving sentence on Saturday. On being removed to the goal ha warped incessantly, and remarked to Mr. Wilson, 44 What a dreadful sentence, 1 am quite astound ed ;" he was put in irons, and reinoved into a room adjoining the ward appropriated to con- dimmed prisoners. He, during the Whole of the day, inveighed against the judgment in his case, hut, in the afternoon, became more resign ed, and _wrote some letters. On Sunday he at tended Divine Service, and, oil returning to his room, it' was intimated to him that it would be necessary for him to make immediate arrange ments for .his 'removal to the place of embarka tion, as an or d er h a d arr i ve d, directing a very quick removal to the port, as a vessel. was going. He was not surprised at this, :Ind some of his friends visit e d hi m . H e h a d a long interview with his brother, and it is said that arrangements on an extensive scale will be made for his com fort, if alltrwed,' during the voyage, in the event of lau : . Appeal to the Privy Council in mitigatio n - of sentence not being attended to . . Air. Noer..,. his , most indefatigable Soli citor, is pursui ng t h e usual course :or proceed ing in su c hcases.—Moran will b e pl ace d on th e , read-inill, in.the gaol, during the week. There is no foundation for the report circulated in town yesterday that Connolly had committed suicide. The Ilecla and Fury, under the orders of Cap tain PARRY, are about to be fitted, at Deptford, with propel ling wheels, to be worked either with a capstan or winches ; which will be conveyed to Hudson's Straights in the transport William Harris, Lieut..% W. Pritchard, agent, which ship is to accompany the discovery ships so far, with provisions, stores, Scc. ['he Hecla and Fury are in a forward state of pre paration, receiving their provisions, &c. They will leave Deptford, on their interesting voyage, about the Ist of May.— ( Hampshire Telegraph, March 6.) Fr here is scarcely any better attestation, of the suppression of insurrectionary conspiracies in the county of Cork, than, that the country Gentlemen have been able to en joy their field sports, as they have been wont to do in times of profound tranquillity. The Duhallow Hunt has concluded eie season, which, it would seem, by 'the Cork Papers ' was one of the choicest sport. Duhallow was the most disaffected barony, some time ago, in the whole South of Ireland. The circumstance just mentioned demonstrates, that it has been subdued by public justice, public spirit, a faith ful Magistracy, and .an active Police, and brought into a .condition of tranquillity. The Gazettes, which live and fatten upon murders and burnings, will be a little disobliged at this desirable revolution in the state of the vast barony alluded to ; for, as justice and public authority vindicate offences against the public Weal, the erudite conductors of those registers of out rage--the learned pundits in Tom Thumb, English farces, sad such like recondite literature—are likely to run short in their provocatives to discontent.—( Dublin Correspondent.) ?flits. SIDDONS.--I t will excite the sincere re gret of every friend to Genius and exemplary worth in private life, to learn that this distinguished ornament.of.the country is suffering under so se vere an illness, as almost to preclude any hope of recovery. FATAL DiniL.---Mr. LIARVEY ITETHERINGT . ON, who fought a duel with a gentleman of the name of SWAYNE, on Royston-common, on Wednesday last; died on Saturday. The ball from his anta gonist had lodged in his side, and could not be extracted. The dispute originated at the Auer ton Park - Coursing. The weather during the last eight days has continued extremely stormy and of wintry ap pearance. On Monday the Ist of March, and Wednesday the 3d, extremely severe frosts took place, and on Wednesday a considerable quantity of snow fell, accompanied with a very strong wind from the North-East. It is to be feared we may have disastrous accounts from the coast. Newcastle-on-Tyne, March 6.) The Series of Sketches or Tales, just published, under the title of " Sayings and Doings," have created a great sensation in the Fashionable World, from the novelty or their plan and the smartness of their execution. —Th e Author says in his Preface : " I have for many years watched the world, and have set down all that I have seen ; and.out of this collection of mate rials I have thrown together a few historic illustrations of quaint sayings; the truth and sagacity of which, the characters introduced by me hare unconsciolsly exemplified in their lives and conduct. In short, I have thought it a curious matter of speculation to compare the "Doing:" of the Moderns with the " 4 Sayingz" of the Ancients ; and therefore submit to the public nay first portion of ":vise seas," illustrated by " modern instances.'
