By this means, if the thieg was bad, t;t: public and the. purchasers would know at once what to do, aid be proteled against fraud ; and if , slintiki be found, on experience, to be good, the public would have the benefit of it in time ; for it would in time find its own way. These were the principal regulations which he proposed for the be. nefit of the Linen Trade ; tind having thus stated them briefly, he would not take up the time of the House any longer than barely to move a Resolution, that Chairman do ask for leave to bring in a Bill to explain and amend the Laws relative to the Linen Manufalures of Ireland. Mr. KER highly approved the principles of the Bill, and seconded the Motion. Leave was given to bring in the Bill. Mr. FOSTER also moved for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Aft of the 43d of the King, called the Corn Aet.' Leave given. Mr. FOSTER brought up the Report from the Committee on the State'of the Exchange with Ire land. Ordered to be printed. MISDEMEANOR BILL. ,Mr. CHARLES DUNDAS moved the order for re ceiving the Report of the Misdemeanor Costs Bill. Mr. WINDHAM objected to the Bill, as a mea sure coming into the House under the authority and recommendation of the Quarter Sessions, which might entertain views on such a subjel, very differ ,ent from what the House ought to have. He was sorry to observe, that for some years, the House had been too much in the habit of legislating in the spirit of County Quarter SeSsions. This Bill pur ported to be an IVA for the maintenance of the due authority of iV4giszrates. All that was very pro. per; but what was meant in the Bill by due autho rity Was there any relaxation of their authority, to require a new penal Statute to enforce it ? This was not a proper mode ~ .;f proceeding : it was going into a general canvass for new Penal Laws. Disap proving, as he did ; of the Bill, unless some necessity was shewn for it, he wished it might he put off to some distant day : and, if such a measure was ne essary, let it be brought forward next Sessions. Mr. CHARLES DUNDAS said, he was wil ling to put this Bill off till Friday, and afterwards for three months, if required. He said, he had brought it forward at the request of several Magis. _ trate: in the County to which he belonged ; and who declared, that, without such a measure, they could not properly go on in the discharge of their duty. The law , was not to-be altered by it, but would be more effeEtually executed. Many Prose_ cations had failed, i n consequence o f Ma g i strates not ki,owing- who were to defray the expence. if a znin, should commit perjury before them, they had a right to commit for but they could nokt de termine whd should defray the expence of the Pro secution. This was a matter which ought to be re. gulated; and was the object of the Bill now before ,the Mr. WILBERFORCE declared, "that the Ma gistrates of Yorkshire had stated to him, that they felt great difficulty in discharging their duty, in cowequence of the want of such an Aa as this. Mr. FOX said, he dial not rise to oppose the Bill ; but merely to ask, if the Bill was to pass away till next Session, why it might not be put off at once, instead of taking up the time of the House by bring_ it forward next Friday ? Mr. CHARLES DoNnAs said, he had no objec tion to do so ; and the Bid was accordingly puL off .for three thumbs. unnecessary; and would therefore move to put it pit for three months. Mr. PITT said, it was most evident that the Bill contained provisions which ought not ,to he adopted without mature deliberation, and he did not think it ought to be passed in the present Ses sion. With respeft to the revision of those Pe na l Statutes, on which many vexatious actions had been brought, he could not pledge himself to the, Hon. Gentleman as to his adopting any measure on the subjed hereafter. It was much to be wished that the consideration of the whole of those Statutes might be gone into ; but, at the present advanced period of the Session, he was afraid that could not be done; and that no other mode for meeting the exigency of the moment could be resorted to, but that of reviving the suspending Aft of last Session. He hoped, however, that, in another Session, the business might he introduced in a manner by which it might be brought to some general con clusion. Mr. BROOKE said, that the Bill passed last Ses. sion for suspending the penal adions, had cost the parties interested in bringing it forward, no less a sum than z 3,0001. Mr. WILI3ERFORCE wished the Bill to he put off; and that some great and effe6tual regulation might be adopted for the whole Kingdom. But he would never consent to any measure that might alter or interrupt that general system of domestic industry and domestic happiness which prevailed among the Cloth IYlanufa6turers of the County he had the honour to represent. The second reading of the Bill was then put off for three months. WOOLLEN MANUFACTURES. Me. H. LASCE.kLES rose to move the Order of the Day for the second reading of the Yorkshire Clothiers' Regolation Bill. And at the same time he thought it necessary to say a few words upon the sub jed of it. He had brought in that Bill, pursuant to certain Petitions which he had presented to the 116nse, without giving any opinion whatever upon the sttbjeft. There were many old and obsolete Statutes on the subject of the Woollen Manufac ture, which had long been wholly inapplicable to the Trade itself; and, of course, were not obeyed. 'Several vexatious prosecutions were carried on for the non-observance of these Statutes, so as to render it necessary, for the relief of the Cloth Manufaetu- Tees, last year, to bring in a Bill to suspend all the Penal Adtions then pending. That Bill would ex pire on the tat of July, and then the aEtions might go on, unless a fre , ,ll Bill was introduced, and the act revived. But that Bill chiefly affeeted the Clothiers in the West of England, who differed very mate -rially from the Clothiers of Yorkshire. The former "acted in the double charaaer of Manufanurers and Merchants. But thOse of Yorkshire aCtetias a kind of middle men, and carried on the Trade on an in- , farior scale. When their goods were manufadured, they carried them to market, and . sold them to 'others who were Merchants. The situation, there. fore, and the iaterest of these parties, were different. ofohe old Statutes affetled the ManufaCturers 'of the West cf England ; but did not affeti those of 1 Yorkshire. With respect to the Bill now before the House, he certainly thought it contained princi ples whie4l the House ought not to entertain hastily. He did not know that-the whole County was unani. moos on the subjeft of it. There was a certain tlis ,iria which would certainly not agree to it ; and if •the Bill should pass, he hoped that distria. would be excluded from its operation, if not, the Manufac- ' piers of thatdistrid would go int o L ancas hi re , an d carry on their trade there, •He did not think it fit • that a testeidive law should operate in one plaCe, . and that the people of the rest of the Kingdom tihould be left to carry on their business as they 'pleased. The people who were hostile to this Bill, did not Petition' against it ; because they'knew that the House of Commons would never maintain such a principle of trade as it held out. He wished to take this opportunity of askieg the Right Hon. - Gentleman at the head of His Majesty's .Cabinet, Whether he thought it would be right next year to revise the whole of the Statutes relative to the: Woollen ManufaCturers, and bring forward, in the, ceerse of nest Session, some simple, comprehensive, 4:.d effldual law on this subject ? He earnestly %visited that the business might be taken up on a brOad ground at some future period ;• and if so, the inescni Bill would be unnecessary.

SOLEM QUIS DICELE FALSUM 'AUDLAT LONDON, J UNE 4, 18c4. WE are this day enabled to lay before oar Read ers some further details respeEting the Trials of MOR EAU, GEORGES, &c. particularly the Speech of the Imperial Attorney-General, from the Muni tears of the 3d and 4 41, which we received yesterday evening. There appears very little doubtbut the Pri soners will all be found guilty ; indeed i t is most proba ble that their condemnation has already taken place. Capt. WircHT, who is confined in the Temple, has • already undergone several examinations, and he appears, even by the garbled account of the Maui. • tear s to have concluded himself in every respect as became a British Officer. He has, of course r -de_ dined giving any answers to the questions repeatedly put to him, in consequence of the suspicion enter- , tained by the French Government of his having landed PrCH ECRU, &c.on the Coast of France; The Dutch Papers, which also arrived yesterday, bring no very important intelligence,. but they con tain some curious Speculations upon several chapcet and partitions of territory which are said to he in ; agitation on the Continent; among other projeth, it is said that Poland is again to be ereled into a Kingdom, which is to be given to Louts •XVIII. .and that Austria is, have ample inderhnity in Germany for her portiOn of Poland. These we 'co . nsider merely as the fine-spun theories of German We-have no doubt, however, but that in the present state of Europe, France would be more inclined to concilia:e than to irritate the Ca binet of Vienna. The-decided disposition mani. fested by Russia, to oppose ,at length some•barrier to the encroachments, and to give some Check to the. insolence of France, and the increasing cool ness between the latter and the Conn 'Of. Bel- . lin, Tender , it obviously the policy of BO NA. pARTg at preent to temporize with the Court of Vienrra. This kind of policy, which France has to steccssfillly ,adopted since the Revolu t ion, we trust will not avail her 'now. The Po' wers of the Contwew kilf ) ,,v, by sad experien , :e, the ; • ,position and the obje&s of the Government of France, and, if they are not infatuated beyond all example, they will seize the oppprtunity which now presents itself (and it may be the /air), of oppsing effeaual resistance to the avowed designs of France at uni versal dominion. The present moment we think highly favourable to attempt the emancipation of Europe, because we have reason to know, from authority upon which we place the firmest reliance, that the air EROR of RUSSIA is sincerely disposed, if he meets with any effe6lual co-operation on the Continent, to take an immediate and decided part against France. We received this morning the Maxiteur of thesth inst. but it does not contain a single article of news, unless we may except an unimportant Paris Article, stating the presentation to the EMPEROR of two or three Senators, Prefeas, and Presidents, who re speaively took the pre , .7ribed oaths. The rest of the Paper is chiefly filled with extrafts from Ad dresses. The French Funds were on the 4th at 57. 20. Yesterday at two o'clock His MAJESTY gave au_ diences to the Duke of PORTLAND, the LORD CIIANCELLOR, and Lord HAWKESBURY. At four o'clock His MAJESTY held a Privy Council, which was attended by the Duke of PORTLAND, the LORD CHANCELLOR, Mr. PITT, Earls CAMDEN, CHES TERFIELD, WESTMORLAND, and BATILURST, COWIE CASTLEREAGH, Lords ARDEN, HARROWBY, HAWLESBURY,STOPFORD,MULGRAVE, and Du NLo. The RECORDER of LONDON 'attended for the purpose of Making his Report to His MAJESTY of the Convi6ts 'who have been cast for death since last January. After the Council, His MAJESTY gave audiences to Earl BATHURST and Lord Dust.o, and they had the honour to kiss His MA JESTY'S hand, the former on his being appointed Master of the Mint. At six o'clock THEIR MAJESTIES, the PAIN CIisES ELIZABETH, SOPHIA, AMELIA, and the DUKE of KENT, in their usual order, took an airing in the neighbourhood of Dulwich. Yesterday morning, about ten o'clock, Mr. PITT had an audience of lits MAJESTY. Yesterday m.)rning the Imperial and Swedish Ambassadors had interviews with Lord HARROW - Br, at his Office. The rsth Light Dragoons, commanded by His Royal Highness the DUKE Of CUMISERLAND, was reviewed on Tuesday last by the DUKE of YoRK, on Wimbledon Common, and executed their different mar.muvres with great promptitude and precision. They went through the sword exercise admirabiy, and particularly at speed. The charge was rapid and compan, and the attack, and defence were ex. ce.z.diiigly well miinsged. The DUKES of YORK and CUMiIER LAND, PRINCE WILLIAM of GLOUCEs- TER, Lord CHATHAM, and many other Fash►onables breakfasted, after the Review, with Mr. OGILNY. and the Direness of LEINSTER. Yesterday a Court of Direlors was held at the East India House, when Captain R. MERITON, the Sovereign, took leave, previous to departing for Bengal direct. The Court adjourned at six o'clock, till Wednes- day next. , An arrangement' Inis been made by the Courts of London and Copenhagen, according to which, the letters from England to Norway, and from Norway to England, are, in future, to be dispatched by Way of Gottenburgh, instead of Husum, as was formerly the case. The Kings of DENMARK and of SWEDEN have, besides, made - an arrangement; according to which the letters are to b. forwarded from Gotten. burgh to Norway, with all possible dispatch. This measure is very advantageous to the commercial part of both nations. . It is said that a Plan is now under the considera tion of the Privy Council, to remedy the prese nt delay in hearing and decidi ng Scotch Appeals before • the-House of Lords. It is proposed that twp or three Gentlemen, well versed in the Scotch Law, shall be introduced into the House of Lords, to Sit as Assessors to the LORD CHANCELLOR, and to alt,, in cases of Scotch Appeals, in his absence. His Imperial Highness JOSEPH BONAPARTE has no male children, but only a daughter two years old ; but His Imperial Highness Prince Louts 80. NAPARTE has, by the daughter-in-law of the Em. PEr.os,, a son, called NAPOLEON, born the loth of Odober, 1 Boz. Du4oc, it is said, is to be the Grand Marshal of the French Court, and CAtJI.INCOURT the Grand Master of the Horse. The ancient families of LUY NES, TR EMOILLE, VANGUYON, LAVAL, MONTMO RENCY, are, according to report, to be offered great ()likes in the Imperial Court. PorlarAtvra'sCiril'List is to be auginented to 25 MiIIIDOS Of livres. Each of the French Princes is to have three millions, and each of the ti ix superior Officers of State one miilion yeariy':',. The Admiral who succeeds in making a landing in,England, will be made Grand Admiral. MI 6DLESEX EL ECTION.—The question, whether Gentlemen holding situations in , the Chancery Courts, Common Pleas, Exchequer, or other , Law Offices, which have heretofOre been deemed Free holders, were eligible to. vote as Eleaurs in the County of Middlesex, came on yesterday to be dis_ cussed. After much argument, it was determined that such votes were inadmissible, the voters not being ataual residents in the parish or place for which they tend ere d their suffrages. • A shocking accident happened on Tuesday, in the Hampstead Road. Some drays being about to 'pass through the turnpike at St. James's Chapel, the turnpike man came out to demand his toll. By some accident, the dray by which the man was standing suddenly went on, and ,threw him down, when one o f the wheels passed over him, and tore off the flesh of one of his legs, besides otherwise bruising him. The poor Than was carried to the Middlesex Hos piti4;, where he lingered till yesterday morning, and then died, leaving a widow and five young children, SLAVE TRADE. Mr. ALEXANDER brought up the Report of the Committee on this Bill. Mr. WILBERFORCE said, he intended to move an amendment in regard to the date of the commence_ ment of the Penal Clause. The blank had been filled up in the Committee, iv making that Clause commence 14 dayS from the passing of the Bill. He proposed, however, that it should commence on the Ist of Ottiober, so that any Ship clearing out before that time should be allowed to bring in her Slaves. Counsel were then called in, and their Clients re spedively named. The Report cf the Committee, and the title of the different Petitions were read. Mr. PIGOTT proceeded in argument,, as leading Counsel against the Bill. After he had spoken for a few minutes, Mr. lj'y LE ' R moved that the House be counted. The C)un sel at the Bar, and the Strangers in the gallery, were ordered to withdraw. It was then found that there were forty Members present, and the Counsel were again called in. In about ten minutes after that, Mr. DENT moved that the Counsel should withdraw.—Ordered. The CHANCELLOR', Of the EXCHFqUER called the Attention of the SPEAKER to another quarter of the [ - louse,' and the Gallery was then cleared. There being only thirty. Members then present, an adjournment of course took place. MAILS. DUE. ARRIVED. Hamburgh Z - .. .0 PRICE OF s•rocxs, THIS DAY AT TWILLVX o'cLocK. Consols - - - 561 I Om. - 4 I Red.
