ii ~^- ~ PER ML PA.R.L LIM EAT. HOUSE-OF PEERS,' MONDAY, DEC, 21. THEIF Lori: hips met this day pursuant to -Ad kurntrient. Prayers were read by His Grace the Archbishop 'Of CANT ER BURY. A few private,Bills whiChWere before the House, were. forwarded ih their different Stages: two•of which were, read a third tittle and passed. LOrds Hn.t,i Arn and (:)0 KY presented Petitions; the former, from certain persons confined for Debt, in the Litt', of Dublin ; and the. latter, troth cer tain - Debtors confined in the Gaol of MarybarOtigh, in, the Queen's County, .Ireland, which - were deired to lie on the Table. Some routine Business was then disposed of. Lord HOLLAND observed, that the important and desirable event of Peace, which would pro bably be soon additionally - secured, by the execu tion of the Definitive Treaty, was an: objea to which the public attention was strongly . directed.-- Under his view of that great and 'desixable objed, he held it his duty to acquaint their Lordships with his intention of taking an early opportunity, after the signing of the Definitive :Treaty, (so,we under. stood the Noble Lord) of submitting a Motion to the House, expressive of regret at, and_irivolving the censure of those whose conduti. had so long de prived the Country of the: blessings of Peace. The House, :shortly after, On. the, Motion of Lord WALSINcuAm, adjourned ;41 Mopday next. . HOUSE OP: COMMONS, MONDAY, PEryrtows were presented ..frctm tike tPrim;iners - confined for Debt, in the Gaol, of, OA_ Cstunty of Derby, arid in the New Gaol in the Bofokrgh, pray ing for Relief. They were ordered to lie on the Table. - Mr. WILBERPORCE moved, that there be laid before the House an Account of all the Grain, Meal, Hour, and 1-ice, imported between the !sr of OetOber ',Soo, and .the Ist of Cktober tgor, 13istiqguishing tke Country from -Which, and the Port into-which, it was imported..—Ordered. - , Mr—rILEXANDER .presented a Petition from the Retail Merchants of the Town of Londonderry, praying for the Aepeal Of the 6 per Cent. Duty.— This Petition, he said, was similar to those which had been presented from the Towns of Belfast . and Newry. Ordered to lie on the Table. ' - . A new Writ ordered for the City of Cork, in . the room of Sir JOHN' HFLY liurciliNsoN, who had been called up to the House of peeis. Mr. DHAM said, that as he understood the House was on this' day to ad-intim for some time, he wished to propose a' question to His Ma jesty's Ministers, though, perhaps, no other an swer could be given but the ones which it'ad been given by his NOble Friend (Lord HAwKEssuiti), t yot, a former occasion. The point upon which. he wished tin-. information, was relative to. that Ar. tick, in the Preliminary Articles of Peace between this Country and France, in which the Integrity of Portugai was stipuhted -Rir. it would be recol leded, that at the time those Preliminaries were , signed, there had been a Treaty signed between France and Portugal, with the nature.of • which we were then unacquainted, but which, it now ap peared, totally changed the nature of our stipula tions with France upon this ,subjeCt. If France meant' to adhere to the terms of that Treaty with Portugal, her conduit to us must appear in tjie na ture of a fraud. When this subject was before A ntacid to, his Noble Friend had expressed his opi nion, that the Treaty between ,Fiance- and Portugal, by which the latter gave up so large a pirt of her South American Territory, would be done away by our Treaty with France. Since that period, how. ever, not only the French Papers heid a contrary language, but a Public Officer, a Counsellor of State, in his Address to the Legislative Body, expressly declared, that it never was in contemplation to abandon that Treaty. If this subject was still pend ing, or, if there were any hopes of settling it at Amiens, be should be satisfied with an answer to that cacti. Bur if the business was settled one way or other, he thought there could be no objection to giving a distinct answer to the question as soon as possible, because the Country ought to know wha t we hatl . to expert from the Government of France. If, however, Mini:,ters were of opinion, _that an atiSwer could not with propriety begiven, he would not press it any further. c HAAT .1,1.,0R of the EX.C.II4Q,UER said, he was sure 113 Right Hon. Friend would be ore of the . lasepet;ons in the House, who Would attenti , t to embarrass Government by unnetessaiy questions. With regard to the question which had been proposed, he had no difficulty in saying, that they had every reason for thinking (short of the absolute determination of the point by a Definitive Treaty) that the Treaty of Bgdajoia was-oione con sidered in force, and that the Treaty •of Madrid was annulled. POPULATION BILL sZord GLENB4Rl"lEsaki,it . would he reconeeted that some time ago .it had.been stated, that the Re turns to the Population Bill were not complete, many of the Returns had since come in, And others , were expeded; it would therefore be necessary to alter the Totals of the Returns which had : 4o.laid before the House, and ats. 'to correa some Clerical Errors he, therefore, moved, " That the proper Officer be diretted to insert, in du' returns. ;Already made, such alterations as might be necessary in•con.. sequence of the returns made from time to time. The SPE.,4KER observed, that when it was found necessary to alter any returns which had been • Oriade to the House, the usual mode was to move to w4hiltais thenr.lnd present a fresh one, but when i• f was. rOolleeted how voluminous these returns : wore, peritaps it would be better to adopt the plan Por:Troposed. The Motion was then, itireed. to. Lord Euvia moved, that when 'the. , 4urns - were complete 4, a sufficient number should -be . titinted for ':te use, Qt the Members.--othered, THE Proceedings in the House of Commons, - last night, 'though short, were so far important, that a question froth Mr. WINDHAM, relative to the Treaty with Portugal, produced an answer from the Minister satisfadory in the highest degree.— He distintlly stated, that. GOvernment had every reason for thinking, Short of the absolute determina tion of. the subject by Definitive Treaty, that the Treaty of Badajoz was alone considered to be in force, and the Treaty of Madrid as annulled. It will be seen, in our Patliamentary. Proceed ings, that the two Houses have adjourned only to Monday next. The _spirit of. insubordination .which Lately ap_ peared on. board the Temeraire and the Formidable,: is completely quelled, and those two Shipi are ordered from Bantry Bay to Spithead, for the purpose o the Mutineers being tried by a Court Martial. , Tvielve or Fifteen of the principal Mutineers are in custody. WE this morning received Paris Papers to the T 9 th inst. The MiptitiVtl of the 16th and ,7th are filled with the dis'cOidti j s - of'The Legislative Body orfi the subjeft ot,.,th i e,_Civ4j de, in which that Body have not proess4sl„Arther than to define what Law is, and what should be its eTeft.— Our extrafts are much reduced by the length of these discussions. The Moniteur of the ,2,7 th says, - the Preliminary Articles concluded 'and signed at Paris betweeu the Ministers- of the French Republic and the Orr6man • Porte, were received at Constptinopl6 on the Bth of November. ()tithe same clay the RE IS EFFEND I complimented . . Citizen ,Ru rig„ the French Chaegé des Apires,. on this happy 'event. 'On the folloWing day vh2t -Minister sent to the Charge des Ajpirer a Turkish. Copy of the .PreliMinaries, and reqqested in Itt-tirn a French Cbpy. On the I tilt' Citizen DANTAN, Interpre:er of the Legation, was admitted to an audience of the RE IS EFFIIND I, who, after many personal compli_ ments to . the ch'argel des - 4110;14.s; said to the Inter preter—fi I request the French Ch ( lrge des illaires official-ly to notice .to our Great Friend, that the Sublime. P6rte.ha . received with transports of joy the intelligence of the signing of the Irelirnina_ ries of Peace ; that it has read with admiration the four Articles stipulated by it ; that the edifice of Peace, so desirable on lvoth sides, could not have -been raised on more favourable bles: that from these four principles must result such satisfaCtory consequences; that we are diliposed to consider the _Preliminaries as a Definitive Itcaty, and to promise • ourselves . as a consequence, the renewal of that an , , cient friendship which hag on4ed thF twq Faipires for so many centuries, and of which the ardor _will now increase. I entreat the Cbarget des fiffacres to add what he may think proper to the streo4t4 of my expressions." We learn. by the last intellikecce from Colz.;tai.:/- nol/e, that the Courier who was the bearer of the Preliminary Articles, has been dispatched with the Ratifications of the Silblime Porte. The Minister of cll., Interior has ordered tJistthe Bust 0 - L 4 I GN9N 1\441, ESHER 3 E .eXCeMted in marble, shall be-plmed in one of the fialls'of the . National Institute.

That event, we hack reason to believe, will not be'Much longer delayed. The Spanish Plenipotentiary has probably reached Ainiens by this time, and the bdsiness will, we. doubt not, be soon after concluded. • Yesterday the Dispatches for St. Helena and China, by the Arniston ; were fmally closed at the East India House, and delivered to 'the Purser.

'The allowances for his Embassy are indeed alLogether different to any that has preceded it; 'and so is the itttehtion'that has been paid to-him in France. When His'F,xcellency, after accepting:the Em. bassy, and'reeeiving the Presents usual on such oc casions, was asked what sum he would require for his table anti aptointments, he excused naming it, and at the same expressed a wish to be alto getheel disencuinbered from the trouble of settling, his household, or providing /for it, in order to be enabled to confine his attention solely to the great objets of his missio'. Our Government ac-: ceded to hirbordship':s request ; .and a peison was accordingly sent to 'Amiens, who has the whole superintendance, of . the Ambassador's Hotel, and draws on ttt Foreign Office for the expences attend. ing it. _ - As a proOf of the lively interest which the French Pecyle take in his residence among , them, His Ex, cellency was no sooner settled at Arniens, than all the Constituted Authorities for fOrty miles round repaired to the Seat of Congress,; to offer him their congratulations, and to express' their joy at the, re. turn of Peace. between the two Countries. Some Of the Addresses are marked with as much fervencY as if they had been intended for the Chief Consul him self. 'The' Managers of the Theatre at Amiens, which is a very good one s also took an early opportunity of waiting on our Ambassador, and paid him the . , compliment of asking at what hour it would be most agreeable so him and his Fries as for the performance` to commence., An answer was returned, that His EX .ellericy‘seldom visited a. Theatre; and it was hoped, for the convenience of the City,•that the usual hour of representation would be continued ; but finding that be did not dine till five; the performances have been postponed froM six to seven o'clock.
