The Committee then resolved, that salt should be exported duty free, ouder,certain regulations ; end li l ac a duly of 50s, a ton should he imposed -on mineral 'alkali, 'and the present duties yeeeuted, . • NEW FritEET. preseotedit Petition from Mr. Jo seph Scraggs, a cattier to butchers in St. James's Alutket, cnn►plrtinitog of Huries be had incurred tinder the New Street Act.

Mr. GottooN observed, that the petitioner had lived 30 years in St. James's Marko., Mr. iitlSKlSsos. replied, when - the petition was read and ordered to lie on the table. MISNION TO LIST ON. The CHADICIELL94I of the PxchEQUER brought up certain papers that had hOeo ordered, relative to disp.it::hes from Lord Castlereagh to Mr. Sy dlto haw. Mr. CANNING moved, that the copy of a dis pv teh" from LOW' Cast lefeagb to Mr. Thomas "tsy,tenham, announcing the propriety of his velum to Euland, be laid before the House.—Ordered. WINDOW DUTY. _ The [louse resolved itself into a Committee on the Window Duty Nxemptiinisl3ol. Lord LASCRLLPS asked; if .there could he any ol►jectiou to allowing a person to sleep in a ware hottie without subjecting the building to the duty. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought the question too important to be at once de cided on. CROWN LANDS REVENUE. The !louse entered on a farther consideration of the Crown-lauds Revenue Bill. Mr.:BARNETT ohjeeterktO giving the Bank a.se rnrity to, the Crown Lands; anti thought the Gentleman (Mr. Iluskisson) must have great powers of persuasion to induce the House. to concur in so improper a measure he hoped the loftiness would be postponed. Mr. FIVSKIOSON could see no grousid for post poning the busittecti, unless the lion. Gentleman afforded some better reason. He contended, that the security given the Bank teas quite usual, and a fforded no ground for constitutional jealousy. Mr. GUENEBTA reprobated the public transac tions with the Bank ; and temindeci the House of an expression of the late lamented and respected Ilorner, that the whole concern presented a scene of profligacy and profusion on the part of the Government, and rapacity on the part of the Bank, unequalled in the history of Finance. Mr. Ham staitstAY insisted, that it was highly improper to meet temporary difficulties by break ing down a standing principle. The present tran saction tvas no better than a Mortgage made to the Bank. Mr. IlvsKtasors replied, that there was no con veyance of land, but that the revenue only was assigned as. a security, 'rite amendments in the Act were then atsentcd 'l he Life-annuity Amendment Act, as far as it relates to the Commissioners for redeeming the National Debt, wB3 read a first and second time and ordered to be read a third time on Monda: tot might. NI roRTA NT l'A RLI A M ENTA RY PA PER S EASTER RECESS. The CHANCRLLOR of the 1413totteauett intimat ed, that unless any particular business pressed, he should 'move on Friday, that the House should adjourn to Monday fortnight. He then post poned the Notice respecting the Lottery tilt that day.; Hod begged to correct it statement that lotil been made respecting the treat given by the Contractors to the Lottery Commissioners on the day of drawing the whole was unfounded, and a gross -calumny. Bitouonsta..was sorry his Hon, friend (Mr. Lyttleton) was tint present, because he was not likely to have made the assertion without adequate authority for it. The Other Orders of the Day were then dis posed of, and the House adjourned.

AMERICAN PAPERS. CHARLESTON, FEB. 1 I.—We learn from Havan nab, that a Spanish fleet of two frigates, and six or eight smaller vessels, had arrived there from Vera Critz, but nothing had transpired of their operations in that quarter,- from which it was in ferred that no event favourable to the Royal cause had lately taken place. The British frigate Ac tive had just arrived at Ilavannah from .lamaica, with a demand that the money taken by a Spanish aime4.oeisel from the crew of the British sloop of war Tay should be given up. It was understood that the demand had been refused by the Consu- lado at Havanna, referring the derision on the transaction to the two Governments ; bnt the Captain and Doctor of the Spanish vessel were both in prison, awaiting trial for their conduct on the occasion, which is represented to have been very unwarrantable. Accounts from . Havannah mention the ioss of his Britannic Majesty's ship Bermuda, Captain Pakenhanr, near Tampico, in the Bay of Mexico. N o uvoLK, VEs. 19.—We learn from an official source, that the timber for a ship of the line has been contracted for by the Navy Board, and or dered to he delivered at the yard at Gosport, where. the ship will positively be built. The quest iota as to the scite of the Navy DepAt remains still un decided ; but from this circumstance, in connec tion with several others we could name, there re mains not the sinallo.t doubt that Gosport will be the place. IN coNGTInss, nu. 7. The following Message of the President of the United States, received yesterday, was tend and referred to a Select Committee : TO THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF .REPRESENTATIVES oF. THE UNITED STATES. On comparing the 4th section of the Act of • Congress passed March 31st, 1814, providing.for the indemnification of certain claimants of public lands in the Mississippi territory, with the Ar ticles of Agreement nod Cession between the United States and the States of Georgia, bearing date April 30, 1802, it appears that the engage ments entered into with the claimantis-interfere' with the rights and interests secured to that State. I recommend to Congress that provis►on he made by law for payment to the State ot.Georgia, equal to the amount of Mississippi Stork which shalt be paid into the Treasury, until the stipulated stun of 1,250,000 dollars shall be completed. Feb. 0, it3l7. .1. MADISON. Another Message, dated 31st January, recom mends to the favourable consideration of Con gress, the claim of the Representative of the Baron de Beaumarchais to a million of livres, which were debited to him at the settlement of his ac• counts witl► the United States, and which clain has now been forwarded by the French Govern• tent to its Minister in America.

House, and set it on fire ; to save it was impossible ; the tower, one of the highest in Silesia, was burnt, with the clock and bells ; the other part of the Senate House also caught fire, and was partly destroyed. Two great storms passed over Burg on the 4th and sth, in which the steeples rocked as in an earth- quake. Some labourers in the fields pretend tO have frit the shock of an earthquake. The build ings and forests have suffered much ; part of the town wall was thrown down and carried away, and with it three houses, and wounded several persons.

The Paris Papers of Monday, which arrived this morning, are more occupied with the new Tragedy of Germanicus than with any thing else. We have taken a few miscellaneous paragraphs from them,' and have only further to notice, that they contain nothing of political interest, except a more particular report of the Indtdio or general pardon granted by the King of SPAIN, and an Edict promulgated by the same Monarch on the 2d,, prohibiting certain publications. This pro hibition comprehends 55 works. Letters from Cadiz announce the arrival of a ship from Lima worth a million of piastres. • 'A • band of robbers infest Galicia, spreading terror throughout that kingdom, and plundering churches, monasteries, Sic. One body of 300 men sacked the Convent of Bernardines, two leagues from St. Jago, mutilated the Monks, and committed dread. ful cruelties. Government has resurtecl to mea sures for putting them down. A letter from lUo Janeiro of January 10, says, that the Government of Buenos Ayres has de clared War against the Brazils : another letter of December asserts, that AarxoAs and the Buenos Ayres Government, equally alarmed at the advance of the Portuguese, had agreed to suspend their animosities, and unite their forces to oppose those whom they esteemed the common enemy : and a third states, that ARTIGkS had refused to ratify this agreement, which called upon him to acknow ledge the supremacy of Buenos Ayres. We know not if there be any, or what truth in these rumours. A letter, dated Munich, 14th March (in the Journal de Paris), notices the arrival of the Princess of WaLes in that City, after having tra versed the Tyrol in her journey front Italy. It further states, that her Royal Ilighness has been well received by the Bavarian Court ; intends to travel for some time in Germany ; and then re turn to England. The SPEAKER in Ole House of Commons Ins night introduced a Plan which he has formed. and matured, for fin nishing the Members with a daily Abstract of the' Proceedings of each preceding evening, as well as regularfNotices of the Busi ness that stands for the current day. This excel lent proposition was referred to a Committee, and is every way worthy of the distinguished Indivi dual from whom it emanated. I'ew men ever occupied so high a. station as Mr. An.aorr has done so honourably to themselves, so beneficially to the Country, and so clear from alt reproach.— When we notices) the affecting trihnte paid to the memory of Mr. lionNlitt, we tnigitt have observed how mncis it was increased in interest by his ['re sidency, and we ought not to have omitted (as we did through inadvertency) the names of Lord LASCSLLBS and Mr. WILLIAM ELLIOTT among the speakers. We ought not to have forgotten their eulogy, for it would be indeed an impossible task to select two Members of the Housi from whose lips, owing to a similarity in character—in public virtue, in pirate worth, and in general esteem thence inapired, such a tribute could flow more gtacefully nr with more effect. Had Heaven taken either of these respected Gentlemen, as it did Mr. Holtbma, CO:111MM Coll sent would bare accorded them au equal 'need of regret and adm;katinn. From this digression of conscience for our re missness we return to the Plan of yesterday, I, To IC , II merely to say, tL•at besides being ettr,_ ful, it will be very ecooomical in the depstr• of printing.
