SIXTH REPORT PROM THE COMMITTEE OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, 411 "INTED TO CONSIDER OF THE PRESENT HIGH PRICE OF PROVISIONS. THE Committee have received information of an invention made by Mr. ROBEKT FERRYMAN, for t aking off the outward coat of the Grain of Wheat Previous to its being ground; by which it appears that the whole of the Grain may be used in Bread, llriglout any of the inconveniencies that have hither. tbeen found i n B rea d made f r om the whole o f t h e eal ; and, as it appears from the evidence (which is inserted in the Appendix) that this inve n ti on M4 Y be attended with a dv an t ag e to t h e P u bli c , y our c time have thought it their duty to l ose no Irrne in laying before the House the information they have received on the subject. • APPENDIX. • • . • M gammtrron of Ro b ert FerrjOiritt• tee g hat t is th e object of your attenda nce b e f ore t hi s C omm i t- • To explain to the Committee the advantages arising from Taking the outer coat from Wheat previbUs to its being groUnd. Explain those advantages to the Committee, Mr. Ferryman delivered in to the Committee, a statement kaf Experiments made under the direction of Sir Cleorp One alpliorus Paul, which was read. Where, and when were those Experiments made ? At the Duke of Bedford's at Woburn, about six weeks ago. Of what does the broad Bran of Wheat consist ~„1)f part of the external, and part of the internal coats . of Wheat. there any nourishment in the external coat of the Wheat which you propose to take away ? None. Is to the n the Brandl conceive it to be the most nutritious part of the Wheat. Dori blanched Wheat grind sooner than the same kind of wheat in its perfeat state? In two-thirds of the time. Can lca You etfeCtuall y n. In what time? At the rate of twenty bushels per hour. Can dam age d Wheat be blanched with equal facility with '",alltage,ci Wheat ? All Wheat is capable of being blanched although damaged ; but ? t the better t h e Wh eat , w i t h the greater faoility it blanches, Llaac'ould the state of the damaged Corn be improved when bed chit ‘,lStrtainlyd ; ama but a , great deal depends upon the mode in I 'is ged Examivat;on of His Grace the Duke of Bedford. F. 1113 •Grate delivered in to the Committee, a statement of tealeninents made from blanched Wheat, &c. (which was • u and which His Grace is satisfied is correel). , tt l i s l?0ur Grace of opinion, that Bread, made of the whole th e l i e , meal from blanched Wheat, is better or. worse than made according to the late Alof Parliament ? Infinit ely better. i "is Grace having informed the Committee that he had several Samples of Flour made according to the above Hreao Pe me n u , w hich he would send to be baked into The e ""lunittee determined that the said Samples should anent to the Albion Mills and to Chelsea hospital, that the result should be communicattxl. to the ....o nn • no _ inittee. ,b O ,„ You think the outer skin entirely taken off in the ex Perihtents ? Are Or entirely so. so f, )511 of opinion that this method of branching IVheat is Pra 6 fivable as likely to be of general utility ? have no do u bt the M ac hi ner y Wray be applied to all T h „,cr Mills, and likewise to every mill on a large scale. I., , , l ;i,Plachlne does not require quite the power necessary for th e ^lng 4 pair of stones; and Wheat having gone through eas; Process of blanching and drying, will grind so much that I apprehend three pair of stones will make more than four pair of stones employed in grinding Wheat in 11 . c` r ' 4 Innlon state. In ereeling a new mill no additional ex.. I,4`,e,would be created, except the building of kiln. I e cend there may be some difficulty in carrying this tip into into efliedi, even supposing it to answer the ex peda 'pe;;; I have formed of it, because I conceive the dislike the p al ti ' Classes have to Brown 13reacl, to be founded in the im practised by the Millers in the manufaelure of 111 4 ,7. Flour, and, the knowledge they h a ve th a t f rom the e 4v .!'ty of rubbish mixed in the Bread made from it, it is tle,i;;. ri tttritious and wholesome as that mad e front the finer , and as the Flour made under this process must of be t . 4 be of a dark colohr, the same dislike will naturally C ounThe only way, therefore, by which the kanswell,ean be fully benefited by the discovery (if it should u, lng'jqc expectations I have formed of it) will be, by its aqu i -- " u Pted in the, Public Mills ; and as 1 conceive great n ~tiiteitg.,‘ would result to the Country front the establish ublic Mills in different parts of the Country, for the riot 0 4 ,1 t 7 of. manutittring Flour for the use of the poor, I am tic% ki.ut hopes that this discovery may tend to the adop -4 scln ic Plan tbr that purpose.

Nom 'No is better calculated to shew how much eulogium, gratitude, and support, we owe to our brave Army in Egypt, than the different efforts made by the Chief Consul to preserve the conquest of that country, the darling objeet of his personal ambition, and so highly important with respea to the interests of the Country which he governs.— We see that the Squadron of GANTWEAUME has a third time put to sea, for it must be that of which the Leghorn Letter in the last Haw_ burgh Mail, announces the arrival in that Port on the Ist instant. Lord KEITH had already more than three weeks before that period, been fully informed of the appearance of that hostile Fleet in the Mediterranean. Sir JOHN BORLASE WARREN was also upon the look-out for it, and this co-operation of our Forces left little chance of escape to GANTHEAUME, or whoever may have been ap pointed his Successor. But should he even have the good fortune to elude, for some short period, the vi gilance of our Naval Forces, he will not have been able to have disembarked any of'the devoted vielims he may carry, on the Coasts of Africa, in the neigh bourhood of Egypt, until towards the middle of the present month, and we may.suppose that the fate of that Country must have been by that time in a great measure decided. Nor will the attempt of BONAPARI E be less vain to send from the Ports pf the Kingdom of Naples some Ships into that of Alexandria, amid all the risks to which the vigi lance of our Fleets exposes them. This desperate resource must arrive too late ; it might have been efficacious three months ago ; it may now probably serve only to augment the number of viaim; whom the momentary possession of that Military Colony must have cost France. There seems reason to suppose, that the French Goiernment does nor dissemble that it can entertain little hopes on this head, as we see it seeking for fresh pledges, or again seizing those which it bad sacrificed to the desire pf conciliating the favour of the late EMPEROR PAUL. It is thus that Piedmont has been united to the Republic, that the Kingdom of Naples has been again taken possession of, and that the so long-threatened conquest of Portugal is at length to be attempted. The two latter opera tions evidently prove, that, notwithstanding the af feCted eulogiums which the French bestow on the EMPEROR. ALEXANDER, they entertain no hopes of any thing from him, as, if it had been otherwise, they would never have ventured to dethrone two Sovereigns, in whom the Court of Peieerbilegb must feel an interest. It cannot be doubted, that this Monarch means to pursue as much of the political conduit of his Predecessor, as is honourable in a Sovereign, and favourable to the interests of social order. BONAPARTE, in the loss of the EMPEROR PAUL, has lost every thing : he was the only Prince who adcd oftener from passion and feeling, than from reason or the interests of his Country. All other Sovereigns will, there is room to believe, an accord ing to the one or other of these two motives, and in either case BONAPARTE must find in them either open or concealed enemies. The solution of the daily more complicated affairs of Europe, appears finally to de pend upon two things—the issue of the Expedition to Egypt, and that of Lord ST. HE Negotia tip at Petersburgh. Our interests are in both qUarters in such good hands, that we expeCt the future with confidence and tranquillity. Government yesterday received Letters from iiambwsh, to the same purport with the intelli gence we yesterday stated, of the Evacuation of that City by the Danes on the 23d instant. Mr. DUNDAS gave a grand entertainment yeiter day at Wimbledon, in compliment to Mr. Pm, who completed the . 44. th year of his age. Lord BORINGDON gave a grand dinner yester_ day, at his house in Hill -street, Berkeley-square, at which were present Their Royal Highnesses the PRINCE of WALES and Dus.s of Yoax, and the Earl of CHATHANt. Earl CLARE was yesterday considerably recover. ed from his indisposition. Neutral vessels that have lately arrived state, that Admiral V 1 LLARET JOYIUSE, who was so completely beaten by the late Earl How a, on the Ist of June, 1794, is again appointed to the com mand of the combined fleets in Brest. It is again said, that dispatches received by Go vernment from Llrd ELGIN, state the arrival in the Red Sea of the Troops from the East Indies, de. stirred to co-operate against the French in Egypt. They are reported to consist of 1200 men from the Cape of Good Hope, 2ocio from the Presidency of Bombay, and 800 from Ceylon. The naval force was commanded by Sir H. Portimet, and the mili tary by General BAIRD. Sir HARRY VANE TEMP ST has sold his famous horse Cockfighter, and ako Lis Rolla, together for 4000 guineas.

SIR, I read in your Paper of the 16th inst. that the Lascells, Capt. TucKER, had struck upon a Bank off Beachy Head, which, he says, is not laid down in any Chart. if he will look into the " Coasting Pilot," he will there see this Shoal precisely laid down by Commodore Bo YCE, in the Royal Sovereign, who struck upon it some years ago ; since which, the Lady Juliana, STEPHENSON, from Jamaica, struck upon it. By keeping the Seven cuffs open to the Westward of Beachy-Head, it may be avoid ed, and in eighteen or twenty fathoms of water. am, Sir, Your humble Servant, AN OLD SEAMAN. Yesterday a General Court was held at the East India House, called by forty. three Proprietors, on the subject of the General Trade from India. A Mo tion was made by Mr. HENCHMAN, and seconded by Mr. IMP EY, to refer the printed Papers to the consideration of the Marquis CORNW AL I Is, Lord MACARTNEY, Lord TEIGNMOUTH, Sir J. M AC- P EPSON, and W. HASTINGS, Esq.—An Amend. mem was moved by Mr. "Iwt NINO, and seconded by Mr. CH ISHOLME, to omit all the words except " That," in order to approve the Proceedings of the Direaors, and request them to aft upon them without delay. A division took place at half past seven, when the numbers were, For the Question So Against it - - 135 Majority for the Amendment 5g A Ballot was demanded on the Question, as amended, for this day week, to which day the Court adjourned. Yesterday a Court of Diredors was held at the East India House,' which adjourned at a late hour to this day. it.* The important Debate on the General Trade of India, To-morrow, it possible. The Hon. Lieutenant-Colonel SOUTR WEL L, of the 40th Regiment, who was wounded in Egypt, is the younger brother of Lord Sox; T E Lt.. Unable, from his religious persuasion as a Catholic, to make any great progress in the Army, and posses sing a sufficient fortune, he had resolved to leave the Service. A sentiment of honour restrained him however from carrying his intention into execution until the Expeditions, which appeared to be in agi tation, should have taken place. This patriotic condua inspires us with more regret for his mistbr tune in being deprived, at the age of 21, of one of his legs, which it became necessary to amputate above the knee. General Rot ZE, who was killed in Egypt, at the head of the French Cavalry, was, before the Revo lution, a Serjeant in a Regiment of. Dragoons be longing to the Cognt D'AaTots. In this regiment he was distinguished for his talent, in riding, mili tary exercise and manceuvres. He was, on the whole, one of the best Non-commissioned Officers. His charader was that of a quiet man, and he did not adopt the Revolution from enthusiism, but merely from interest. Ile was soon advanced in the course of the war, and it may be recolleded as a proof 'of his ability, that BONAPAR.TE one of his battles states, that General Rout had ma noeuvred with great sang froid. The following particulars are extraaed from a Letter, dated Cork, the 14th instant :--" A few days ago, a man alone in a skiff was seen upon the Coast, near Oysterhaven, who, upon being challeng ed, said he had come from Portsmouth to see his brother 'in Cork, but missed the harbour by the strong easterly winds that then prevailed. The skiff had on her stern, "Owen Sullivan, Portsmouth."— Intimation of this circumstance being given to Ad-- miral GARDNER, an investigation in consequence took place, when there were found on board several Charts of that part of the Coast, and a particular account of the soundings. The skiff was well fitted out, having two or three suits of new sails in her." It will be recolteded, that Oysterhavcn was re. ported to the French by the Executive Direaory of the United Irishmen, as a favourable place to carry into effed an invasion of that Country. Mr. JoNes, it seems, declared upon his honour that if he were asked, Who is the Minister of the Country be could not tell. From all that has yet been heard of Mr. JoNes, the Public, we believe, will readily allow tha t t o any oth er quest i on w hi c h might be propose& to the Hon. Member, he might conscientiously make the verj jams wavier, MU.SI SAL . SAL ooN's Benefit Concert on Wednesday last, in the Great Room at the Operd'Hoase, was'attended by a numerous and elegant audience. The knowa exCellence of SA.Lomom as a musician, necessarjl insured a rich repast for the CoalnCis:euri. The se leetion was, indeed, admirable ; and, supported by an orchestra, consisting of the Opera Band, wanted nothing in performance. SALottott himself played a coacerto on the violin with such skill, that the Amateurs have reason to regret that he so seldom comes forward in the sanie mariner. His perform, ance was chiefly recommended by taste and exl4res.„ sion ; but he displayed a distinctness a;.:t rapidity of execution which few of the profession would 1: , ( able to equal, though he properly rendered is subservient to those merits which interest the affec tions; A new performer Ami introduced to the Public ort this occasion.

From Berlin there are accounts, that negotiations' have been opened for settling the Indemnities to be granted to he PRINCE of ORANGE.
