When the Stamp Duty Bill was taken into con. siderotion in the Committee, The Duke of Nottrokic wished to be informed, if the proceedings under the Commission for the Redemption of the Land,tax wore to be subjed to the new duties. If, they were, it was his intention to move an Amendment to the Bill. Lord HA WIC EfiBURY" said, that he made inquiry on the subject, and that he was informed the pro. ceedings under that.

CORN BILL. Mr, NV tiSTIRN move , " the Order of the Day fora Committee of the whole House to consithr the se. vend Reports of the Corn Committees ; and, on the question that the Spy Agile do ' co ve t h e ch,i r , Mr. Alderotto CjillliE rose' to oppose it, be. Canty! he thought the siihjed one of too much pottance, and tan deeply Involving the public in. terest, to be brought forward at so late a, period of the .Sessinn, when It was impossible' it could re. ceive the due consideration it required, fie had, beside; to observe, that the measure, with a' view to which the Honourable Member yesterday moved for the 'Committee, was one which ought not to he adopted without the most mature consideration. Fur even already, and - while the Bill, which had , su recently .fall:n to the ground, was, pending ,in rarliament, its, operation upon' the Corn.matket was most alarming. The price of bread.corn, parti. • cularly, bad a most miasma and .enormous rise, from nu other public cause, insomuch that: the _Bakers' Company had yesterday waited upon the Lord IVl4yor ,Ind- Magistrates, and represented that, owing to this rise, they could not, without a most . consider Ale loss, .proceed with their busine s s, un. lets a very mater ial increase was made in the price of hresd, as regulated .for the week. The price of Corn still continued to rise higher this day, and for this fact, he would appeal to his Hun, Colleague neat' Win (Mr. Alcierttlart, CURTIS). It was, there. fore, obvious, that the consequences at reviving the measure must be extremely oppressive to the Public, and he hoped the Hon. Member would nut persist In the measure this Session. Mr. WESTERN said, it certainly was his intern lion to follow up his Motion for the Committee, 'by waving for the revival of the Bill which had recent. I r pa sli ed that House, with scarcely any opposition; which bad also paiked the Lords, and had only failed by the Inadvertency of some Amendments not ad, miesible in thiS House ; and he was convinced, that it was a measure absolutely necessary to p recent the recurrence of that excessive high price of Corn which tad prevailed within the last twelve years, and which afte!).led with such distress to the Country, and Via, i ,,vent also thousands of Acres from being co d. fr v „ri.ed from the grow th.of Corn to other purposes; 144 i tt he necessity of resorting to other Coml.. iof Grain; and divcrtiPs the en. - tct; ri," - Farmer so the Cultivators of other Nations. There was also another fat pretty well known, namely, that the Government of :France, to prevent the de; pressing of the Farming Interests in that Country, had permitted the exportation of Grain, a very great pin of which might soon find its way into British Markets : was it then ; desirable to encourage, by British consumption, the interests of the Agricul turists . of France at this crisis ? Feeling, therefore, the necessity of reviving the measure, he should certainly, persist-in it. Sir WM. CURTIS acknowledged that the Bill had been allowed to pass the House without much, it any opposition, because its tendency was not con. sitlered, or the efreas that have arisen from it, fore. seen. But scarcely was it on the eve of passing into a law, when it created a general alarm, and caused a very considerable rise in the price of Corn and Flour. All the horrors of a Scarcity already seemed to return on the public mind ; and it was in vain to say that Foreign Ports would be .open to us ; the mischief might be.done before any foreign assistance could be received in such an emergency ; so deeply struck was he with the ill consequences that might attend the measure, that he was determined in every stage, and by every legal parliathentary means, to oppose The Question was then put, that the Sr BAKER do now leave the Chair, which was agreed to without a division : and the Resolutions being agreed to in the Committee, the Report was ordered to be re. ecived to.morrow.—Adj2orned.

The Coronation of BONATARTII is fixed for the 9th of Nov. the Anniversary of the Day he overthrew the then existing Government, and made himself master of France. It does not yet appear to be quite determined whether the Porn is to be ordered to perform the ceremony. On Sunday the Bth, the Foreign Ministers who had received their new Credentials, were introduced to BONAPARTE pile mile, 'as the tonitar ternwit ; that is to say, promiscuously, without any gal a to ra n k. This plait was probably adopted, in consideration of the feeling s o f ifi e Foreign Mini. stern, who must, all have been anxious to avoid precedence in so degrading a, ceremony. Tie Mini. t iters of Russia, Austria, • Sweden, Portugal, amd ihnerkat were not Pre'e . nt. It was not to be ex. peeled dim either the Russian or Swedish Ministers would have attended on such an occasion ; and as for Mr. LIVINGSTON, with all his disposition to flatter the vanity of it ..tatinpAtt.Tti, he cannot yet have received his Credentials from America. It is, howevir, alittleiingtilar, that the Austrian Mini. ster was not:present, because there can be no doubt but that the Etapittok of Gi RitANY will acknow. ledge the new Era elltOß. This ceremony is perhaps :only reserved for a separate occasion, to make it more conspicuous. One of the /113nitrior contains a long ar ticle upon the views and principles of the French Go vernment, which are of course stated to be founded in justice and moderation. The new EMPEROR has no plans of aggrandizement or conquest, l and aho've. all, is particularly cautious not to ;raerferr in . the concerns of the neighboUring States.

" The Austrian Comitial Legation, at the time fixed for the consideration of the Imperial Russian Note, repeated the Circular Declaration of the 14th of May, in expeEta_ flan of a satisfaCtory explanation on the occurrence in question, - and will now immediately communicate to Its High Court, the wish of the EleCtorate of LADEN, and the motives on which it is founded, in certain expeCtation that His IMPERIAL.

'• The Legation for Brandenburg will hasten to make re port of the verbal Pet...tar:l6°ns of the Deputy of the Elec torate of Baden, suitable to the importance of its contents, and the subject to which it relates. In the mean time, It believes, from the known sentiments of his Prussian Majesty, that it may with certainty be expeded that His Majesty will find a consolation in the Declaration of the Eledor of BAD EN, relative to the explanations on the occurrence in questioo, as being such as are suitable to the sentiments of the French Government, and its exalted Head, towards the Empire of Germany, as evinced in the late Mediation of Peace, and that his Majesty will give his approbation to the wish of his Illedoral Highness of BA EN, and the motives on which it is founded.'', CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 9.—Several Councils of State have been held by the Pone, in consequence of advice that BONAPARTE has been proclaimed Em. perm. in France. The report , that LUCIRN BONAPARTR will come here to negotiate with the Porte on some important °Netts, finds no credit. The Russian Squadron which passed this city a fortnight ago, is now in the Sea of Mamura; some of the Ships belonging to it are damaged. ITALY, JUNE 28.---ST. NAPOLEON, the Patron Saint of the French Emperor, has as yet only been beatified. Negotiations, it is said, are now carry. ing on at Rome for his Canonization. The Senate of Genoa has deputed the Senators DALP and FERasNi ,to compliment the Emperor NAPOLEON on his new dignity. PETERADUR OH, JUNE a6.—Though the chaagc of Government in France is well kno‘wn here, it has nut as yet been rflicially notified to our Court, nor is it known whether it speedily will be. Gen. Ilenouv L LE, the French Aml)assador, who left this city a few day's since, will probably not soon' return, as he has sold all his househ o ld f urn i t u re , wine, &c. It is likewise very uncertain whether Count IVlnactiFa, our late 'Ambassador at Paris, will come into 111.1 Ministry, as it is understood that he will soon thifi capital, and go to his estate. --Leyden Courant, la& 16. . . This Morning arrived a Mail from New-YOrk and Halifax, brought to Falmouth' by the Leicester Packet. Y,-,tertily at eleven o'ckek, the RPY+L Fiat 1 t. left Kew for %Vim!sot. Yesterday afternoon, the CHANCFLI:OR of the EXCHFQUER, Earl CAMDEN, Lurd% HAMICESBURIC and CA%ll.t:lt EACH, went to Woolwich to dine, Lord Mt LvILLS went from Whitehall Stairs in the Admiralty Barge, and joined the party at Wool.. wick. Afret dinner, they proceeded'to Mr. Lotic's, at Brumley, where they slept, and were expetted in town this morning. The payment. of the Quarter of the Civil List due on the sth of 0- Ai 0- er, 1803, will commence in the course of next week. It is generally Understood that the whole of the arrears will be paid off before Christmas. Yesterday a Common Hall was, held at guildhall, for the elation of Sheriff (J. lILEADEN, Esq, bay. tog paid his fine into the Chamber to be excused serving the tame). Mr. Ttioirre acquainted the Livery, that the next Gentleman in rntation (there being thirty.eight on the list), S. Down loons, Esq. being old and infirm, was not capOsie of fulfilling the duties of the,office ; he was, odd - ore, passed over, and W. Doisvit.t.n, keg. Citizen anti - ,Staticiner, elected. A caricature print is privately handed about at Paris, in which BONAPARTE is represented on his Throne, surronnded by his brothers, with the bloody corpse of the Duke D'Emcm lex at his feet, over which is written 41 Princes at Blood."' t h'as beer► said that BONAPARTE means to restore the Stadtholderate to the House of ORANGE. Such an aft on • the part of the Corsican Emperor would be extraordinary indeed, as it would be minstating power in its legitimate course. • Colonel Cox, who has lately been . appointed a Master in Chaneety, still retains the Command of the liloomshury Volunteers ; but instead of Colonel, his Corps now call him Master and Commander. BONAPARTE. it s e ems, postpones his Imperial Coronation till the month of NoVembei, the day on which the annual Monarch of London takes pos. session of his civic Throne. We know not how far the tespeftive cereinonies may resemble each other ; but considering tharthe inauguration of the Ccrsican Emperor will set the seal upon.

This day a Court Martial was assembled and held on board His Majesty's Ship La Seine in this Harbour, to try the First-Lieutenant of the Cruizer Brig, on Charges exhibited against him by Captain HANDCOCK, of that vessel. The Charges were, for intending to shoot Lord WitArmss STUART, commanding the C►erceot Frigate, when he was on hoard of the Cru;zer, and for frequent Drunkenness. The Court having heard the evidence in support of the Prosecution, as well as what the Prisoner had to urge in his defence, acquitted him of the first Charge; and the other Charge being in part proved, they (in consideration of the excellent charade( given him by Officers with ‘vhoin he had former served), did only adjudge him to be dismissed from the Crmlzer Brig.
