Readily embrace the opportunity youriet ter af fords me, of adding my testimony to that of the Lord Chief Barbn in favour of your Worm Medicine; my eldest Son having a tew months ao deri,yett very material benefit from the use of it. Ile had been unwell for several weeks previous to his taking it, appeared pale and emaciated; was languid, and'COmplained frequently of pains in his head and side. The Lord - Chief Varian, who had accidentally seen him in this state, fortunately recommended to me the trial of your Lozenges ; and that no time might be lost, or any mistake occur in obtaining the genuine Medicine, sent rue three doses of it. The first of these occasioned a visible amendment, and after the second dose every unpleasant symp tom di sap _ peared, but I nudged it right to give the third, as the two former had agreed so uncommonly well. from . ‘hat tine my Son has been in perfect health, and I certainly attribute his Cure wholly to the efficacy of tbe Worm Lozei•age. have since recommended your Lozenges in several instances, wherein I have the satisfaction to assure you, they have'uni forrnly been of great service. ! ought to add, that f rom t h e suet:: 6of the 'effect pro.iuced them in my Son' case, • 1 apprehend his compliiint to have 'arisen from an obstruction •between the Stomach and 'Viscera. • - I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, • E.

COUNSEL were heard relative to the Scotch Appeal, Colonel Thomas Graham, of Balgowan, v. William Hope Weir, of Craigie Hall, Esq. and_ Others— viz. Messrs. Adam and Pomilly at considerable length, on the part of the Appellant.—The further consideration of the Case was adjourned till Thurs day next. Lord HAWKESBURY presented a Paper, the title of which was read by the Lord CHANCELLOR, and the Paper ordered to lie on the Table.—This, as we cuuld called, was a Petition relative to the Claim of Alexander Fiume, Esq. of the Royal Navy, to the Peerage of y.rrchluont. Lord GREiVVILLE observed, that it was in the recolleetion of their Lordships that some time bi fore the late Recess he had taken the opportunity, upon one of the stages of the Bank Restriction Bill, to call the attention of thf! House to a circumstance of the greatest magnitude and itnportance, namely, The immense quantity of Paper circulating in the Country. He fad also at . the same time mentioned his intention to propose a Motion on the subjeEt at an early period after the then ensuing Recess. Ac cordingly, he now begged leave to give notice, that he should on Friday next bring forward a Mo tion relative to the great Circulation of Paper as connected with the general defence of the Country. The Noble Lord then moved, That their Lordships be summoned for Friday next, which was ordered accordingly. Mr. Wsstr, from the Bank of England, presented an Account of the Receipts and Expenditure of the Commissioners for the Reduelion of the National Debt, for one year, ending 3 t st of January, t 80¢ : and also an Account of the same for the current quarter.—Ordered to lie on the Table. - Some private business was then disposed of, and their Lordships adjourned until half past three o'clock on Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS. FRIDAY, FEB. 10. SIR JOHN WILLIAM ANDERSON brought up the Report of the Committee on the Petition of Messrs.

Boydells to dis pose of their Colleclion of Paintings, Drawings, and Engravings, together with the Leasehold Pre mises (the Shakespeare Gallery) in Pall Mall, by way of Chance. Mr. Secretary Yoaxe brought in the Volunteer Bill, which was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Wednesday next,, and to be printed. M. Secretary Yogi; e m-►ved, that Printed Co. pies of - such of the Circular Letters to Lord Lieute nants, respeaing Volunieers, as had been printed, should be laid before the House, having been first duly examined and authenticated by the proper Officer.—Ordered. Mr. CREv us.' moved the reading of the Order of the Day for taking into consideration' on the Ist of Match, the Petition complaining of an undue Eledion fot the County of Stirling. H e s t ate d, that a point of law had come under the consideration of the Court of Ses3ions in Scotland, involving the right of certain Voters of the County of Stirling; against whose decree an Appeal had been lodged in the House of Lords, which would not be decided till the /7th of March. It was important therefore that the Petition should not be decided upon until after the decision of the House of Lords had been given. He moved that the Order should b e o h s . charged, which, with the consent of the other side, was done, and the consideration of the Petition fix. ed for Tuesday the x 7th of April. Mr. CREVEY gave notice, that he shculd on this clay se'nnight (next Friday), . move for certain Papers respelling the late• transactions in the Island of Ceylon. _ _ The Port of London Bill was read a third time and passed.

LONDON, FEBRUARY II , I SC)4. ACCOUNTS were in the course of yesterday re ceived at the Admiralty from Lord KEITH, respezt ing the Blockading Sq ‘ u2dron a thaw?, as Lite, as Wednesday last. It is stated that the French i Troops were seen embarking, but whether for the purpoe merely of praftice, or of final embarka tion, could not of course be known. Our Squadthn consisted of twenty-seven Sail of Men of War of different descriptions, and the weather being moderate, they were enabled to stand pretty close in. A few days ago in a calm some of them drifted within gun-shot of the French Batteries, which opened non them, and kept up a brisk fire for a considerable time, but no damage was sus tained. The Vessels of all descriptions now in the Har- bour of Boulogne are stated to amount to boo this we conceive must be stated upon mere conjec sure ; we much doubt that the Harbour of Boulogne 'would contain any thing like the number. Report likewise adds, that the Chief Consul has been upon the Coast giving his orders for the final Embarka: tion. This we much doubt, as we know he was not to leave Paris till about the 22d. We would wish the Public mind to remain pre. pared for the event of an Invasion, but we wish at the same time to free it from the repetition of unfounded and idle rumours, which can tend to no good, and which are generally the mere invention of unprincipled Journalists, who hope to derive ad vantage from sporting with the feelings of the brave, and the fears of the weaker part of their fel low.subjeCts. Such a line of condutft cannot surely be reprobated in too strong a manner. THE discussions in Parliament will very soon assume an important charader : notices of Motions have been given in both Houses which will pro. duce very interesting Debatcs.—Lord GRENVILLE in the House of Lords, last night, gave notice of a Motion relative to the immense quantity of Paper, as connefted with the general defence of the Coun try.—ln the House of Commons, Mr. CREEVY is to move on Friday next for the produtlion of Papers in order to throw some light upon the late extraor dinary transaftions in Ceylon. The Volunteer Bill was brought in last night by Mr. Secretary YORKE ; the second reading is fixed for Wednesday, and the discussion on the principle of the measure will then take place. ArTElt what had passed in the House of COM. mons upon the subjcd of the Insurredion in Doh , of the z3d of July, it was quite i! - :)ossible that the question generally upon that Insurredion should be suffered to drop, and that investigation should not take place where blame evidently attaches some where. What is said upon this point in a most excellent Pamphlet ( Plain Answer to Cursory Re marks) is most unquestionably true, that though the Government was warned,let it was taken by surprize.. Upon this occasion General Fox was made the :c ape goat ---it was impossible that Ministers should not fix blame upon somebody, and there it was fixed. But Mr. ADDINGTON, with a discretion and con trivance peculiarly his own, had no sooner publicly condemned General Fox by one ad, than he pub. licly approves him by another. He is not fit to re main in Ireland, to protel the Lord Lieutenant and the Castle of Dublin, but he is fit to command the whole Force in the vicinity of London! If General Fox, as we believe, was not to blame, he ought not to have been recalled at that critical moment. If he is to blame, why is he appointed to so important a command ? Cannot Mr. AD. DINGTON go straight forward in any one of his measures ? Conneeled with this subjeft is the whole pro. ceeding with respea to Lord PELHAM. He was removed from the Cabinet ; but, however, after. wards rewarded with the office of the Chancellor of the Dutchy of Lancaster. He had much to say, we believe, upon the subjed of Ireland, and per. haps rite question might be to consider what was the most eft - canal way to• prevent his saying it; an it is not impossible that a large Office during pleasure might be thought a good remedy upon such an occasion.—but Loid PELHAM is an honourable man, and will do his duty. We were surprised indeed to hear Mr. YORKS say that he never intended to throw any blame upon General Fox—this might have done very well for Mr. ADDINGTON; hut Mr. YORKE i s a firm and'a spirited man—he is not in the habit of saying and unsaying, and we certainly understood Mr. YORKE to say distinlly, in answer to Mr. Fox before the Recess, that he never could consider the occurrence which happened in Dublin on the 23d of July, without thinking that blame attached to the Com. mander in Chief. Will he deny that this was the substance of what he said ? Does he now retract, or will he adhere to it? It will afford the Public great satisfaftion that this subjed is not to pass without full and solemn investigation, which it cer. tainly in every point of view most seriously, from its importance, demands. Yesterday about 12 o'clock HER MAJESTY and ;he PAINCESSRS AUGUSTA and at , : tended by the Countess of, CARDICAN, took 01 airing in a coach and four, attended by a party of the Light Horse, on the Harrow Road. PRINCESSES MARY, SOPHIA, and AMELIA, took an airing on the Fulham Road. Yesterday about one o'clock, Mr. ADDINGTO/ had an audience of His MAJESTY fur a considerabl e time.

WM held yes' terday his Military Levee at the Horse Gua . rds• Several General Officers were present, who atter wards assisted at a Council, as did Lord HortAltp , Mr. YoRKE, and the SECRETARY at WAR.' Yesterday their Graces the Duke and Dutchesi of BEDFORD arrived at their, house in Stable.yar 4 St. James's,. from Woburn, in consequence of Lady WILLIAM RUSSELL being dangerously ill. Yesterday Lord SOMERS arrived at his house jtl Cavendish-square, from his seat in Herefordshire. An Official Letter. has been addressed by the Se' CRETARY Of STATE to the LORDS LIEUTENANTS° Counties: First, with a view to compel the Clerk of the several Sub-division Meetings to remit i d : their respedive Paymasters such sums of monef as, in the way of Bounties,. are due to those wil ° have engaged as Substitutes in the Army of Reserv e and the Militia ; and secondly, to enforce the coals pletion of the deficiencies in the Militia and the Arnii, of Reserve ; and in order to obtain these importanl purposes, it is the decided intention of Governinen g ; to put into immediate execution those provisions CE the law which will enforce, in the most effeau 4 manner, the completion of the levies for which did , Legislature has provided. Some French and Dutch Papers came to liana . yesterday, but their contents are not so late as the accounts before received.
