HOUSE:OF COMMONS, • • TUESDAY, DEC. 23'. . - • Mr. THORNTON presented a • retition from the- London Dock Company, praying for leave to bring in a Bill to enable them to purchase the Water Work of St. George's, Shadwell.—Re6...rred to a Private Committee, with orders to report thereon. Mr. P. MOORR brought up a . Report from the Committee appointed to consider the Petition of Mr. Bowyer, relative to extending the time for (.11434ing of the Petitioner's Piaures by Lottery ; and obtained .1,-ave to bring in t Bill in•compliance with- the prayer of the said Petition. - Petitions were presented, complaining'of the Re turns for Weymouth and Thetford. The . former Was ordered to be taken into consideration .on the Sad, and the latter on the 27th of January. Mr. H.OEITOUSE obtained leave to bring, in a Bill to revive, amend, and render perpetual , the 'Ael of ' the 42d of the Icing, relative to the Trial of Con , tested Eleetions ; - which Bill the Hon. • Member stated to be niateriai to carry theough the House ' with all .convenient expedition, in order, that the parties concerned in the'PetitionS which, were,now before the House, and about to be presented, might experience the benefits which it had been found Ca -1 able of prOduCing.--rThe Bill was brought in, read a first and- second time, committed, reported, and ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. The House resolved into a Committee of Supply, 'Lard H. PETTY in the Chair, and the Order usual at the commencement of a Sessions, that a Supply be granted to — his Majesty, was moved by. Mr. VAN SMART, and agreed to. Mr. C. W. 'YNNE gave notice, that he would to-morrow. ,move for leave to bring in a Bill to con tinue and ,amend the Thames Police ACt. The. Hon. Gentlenian called the 'attention of the }louse to' an Order • made in the year 1805, that a Return should be made of the Lunatics.and Insane Persons in custody 'throughout Great Britain—in consequence of which Order many Returns'had been made : but these and other similar Returns could not; he understodd, be laid before the House, un less the Order referred to should be renewed. He tl4erefore moved,' that this Order should be renew ed.—Ordered accordrtgly. - Mr. Binotmtqf gave notice, that as the Chair man of the Committee of Ways and Means:had nb 9ran4ions Without that House, and as the present was a period in which it was necessary to make every po;4ible retrenchment, he should to-morrow move a ,A.esofution, that no salary should in future' 'attach tp that office. • - • - GALWAY ELECTION Lord 1101 f ICK observed, that in consequence of a return for the Courkty of Galway, or rather some thing described as a return, for that County,,he-felt it his" duty to bring the.. subjea before the. House. The Sheriff of Galway had thought proper to return, in compliance with the exigency of the Writ, mere ly that the "We&ion w's not concluded,and that he should keep it open until all the Electors in the County should be polled, This mode of proceeding silo Noble- Lord conceived the House must feel to be as highly. irregular as the return to be unsatis factory, and of course it required investigation. He there fore m: wed, that the Deputy Cleric cf the Crown should appear at the Bar to-morrow, with the last return'for the County of Galway, and when this return should be laid on table, the Noble Lora. stated it to be his intention to move on an c:rly clay, that the subjea should be taken into fur ther consideration, and that the Sheriff of Galway should be called to the, Bar. Mr. CORRY took occasion to observe, that there was no law in Ireland as in this Cotintry to limit the continuance of ele6tions in , any other resped‘ than that prescribed by .the exigency of the Writ, slid that the ease alluded to by the Noble Lora Was not without precedent in that Country. He remem klered an instance where a Returning Officer had spade a special return of the same nature ; and pos sibly the Sheriff - of Galway might have aced upon the,same precedent. Upon this point,- however,'he could not venture to speak with precision, as he was wholly unacquainted with the circumstances of tl.e Galwav,Eledion but he thought it -necessary for the inibtmation of the Noble Lord and for the animadversion of the House to state the precedent to which he had alluded, Lord HPIVICK said, be was aware of the fa& stated by his Ri;ht Honourable Friend who had just z: it flown, that the :aw for limiting the duration of - Eit-ction in, this Country did not exist in Ireland, and suggest.ed, for the consideration of the 1-mouse, veilether it would not be proper to extend the law upon this s9.bjea to that part of the United King dote. With revird to the 'precedent alluded to by his Honourable Friend, he should be sorry to pre clude the Sheriff of the County of Gidway from, p;;:ad:ng the sanaion a - any precedent or usage tb:A prevailed in Ireland upon 'this subjea. But yet he was rather disinclined ,to think that any such precedent or usage coLild vindicate the Return com plained of, because the ditliculties which were stated to have led to the Return could have been easily gn.lrcied against by a proper exercise of the discie tion vested in fbe Sheriff by law. The Motion was agreed to; and Lord - HOWICK ~ tated, that he would tix upon to-morrow fortnight for the farther consideration of this case, es within that time all the proceedings would most, probably at an end, and the Sheriff of Galway would be conveniently enabled to attend the House. Lord HowicK gave notice, that he would to-mar row move that the House should, at its rising, ad- journ till Monday. Adjourned.

A Gentle-. man Who caste passen6rersin the Vessel that brought the dispatches, states, that great caution was observed . to' keep the dispatches a secret. When he ' trft Lisbdn, the Merchants began to feel some unesi s ness respetling the fate of Portugal. At'the time this Gentleman left Madrid for Lisbon, thq Spanish Government was continuing to recruit its forces ; and, as it was reported there that the army s when completed, was intended to a6l against the French, some pains were taken by the Government to re- , Move that impression. Letters from Seville, of the 29th ult. state, in positive terms, that the French Officers there made no secret of declarin g , that a rupture was on the eve of taking place between France and Spain.

OUR Readers will find, in a sub Sequent Column some' further ExtraEts froth the Mail which arrived from Husum last night: The rnmours.of the defeat of the FrenCh are again repeated, but it is to be obserVed that the accounts are of a .very old date, and are expressly 'at variance with the details' given in the last FrenCh Bulletin. The new regulations which are to be adopted re specSting the admission of strangers into thiscouh try are particularly necessary at this moment. -= There is every reason to believe that the Rench Government have organized a system of intriglie, and. that Spies are sent over, every country in En rope. Spain is full of these vile emissaries ; but tho' many of them are. suspe&ed, the Government -feels itself under "the necessity of:enduring them, and of proteai ng them, while thei r views are obviously hos tile: No Country, indeed, under FrenchinflueUCe, is exempt from those desighing .miscreants, and all pos sible artifice will, no doubt, be employed to procure them admission into various parts of the British Em pire.. These wretches assume all shapes, and are trained to 'all manner of artifice. The times are so critical, and the hatred of our Enemy is of so deadly a kind, that'we cannot too vigilantly guard against such insidious and flagitious instruments of . insatiable and unappeasable enmity.
