LONDON,
FRIDAY, MARCH 4.

Several interesting subjects were discussed, last
night, in the Howse of Commons. Sir Join; Naw-
roaT's motion upon the appointment of Mr. (lir-
ram), was negatived by a majority of 103 to 37.—
Mr. CALcaArr brought forward his motion, rela-
tive to the alleged want of provisions on hoard Sir
RICHARD STRACHAIes squadron, and offered to
substantiate his charge, by evidence at the Bar of
the House. His statement was denied circum-
stantially by Mr. W. POLE, but the Papers moved
for by Mr. CALLRAET were granted. _ Lord HENRY
PETTE's motion for the substance of all coma:tut&

cations between this country and her Allies, rela-
tive to the Orders in Council, was negatived by a
majority of 130 to 71 ; and the Liverpool Petition
was refused by 128 to 80.

A Letter from an Officer on board Sir RICHARD
STIACHAN'S squadron, dated off Gibraltar, Fe-
bruary 9th, says ••••••
" We did not know what course the enemy had
steered until yesterday, when we were informed by
the Naiads: sloop of war, that they passcdthe Gut
of Gibraltar on the night of the 26th of January.
We are now driving on after them, and as they
have had a foul wind these 'several days, are in
hopes we shall fall in with them. I am told Sir
RICIJARD supposes Sicily or Egypt is their desti-
nation, and I believe he intends taking that track."
In the Court of Chancery yesterday morning, the
LOAD CSANCELDOIL observed that he had not had
time to invest the Opera business sufficiently, to
give judgment in it, but by Saturday, he hoped, he
would be able t. come to a decision.

The Court met yesterday, at the usual hour,
on the Trial of Gen. Vl'utirxwmis, and resumed
the examination of Captain FaAsxa, which coat•
chided at half past eleven o'clock. Col. Toaaams
was next called. The Court was very crowded.—
The Duke of Cm:near-4n D was present.
Although His NIAJZIITY has not hunted for
some time, the Royal Hunt is kept up as usual
for the amusement of the Noblemen and Gentle-
men in Windsor, and round that country, and the
life and spirit of the sport is considerably height-
ened by the Marquis Coen wiixtts, the Master
of His MAJ crres stag hounds, being an excellent
rider, and very fiend of the sport. The Noble
Marquis gave directions for a fine young deer, that
had never been hunted, to be turned out, on Tues-
day morning, for a day's diversion, from Stock
Common, in BuckiogNintshire. At ten o'clock, the
Noble Marquis and- a numerous field of Noble-
men and Gentlemen sportsmen assembled on the
Common, and as fine a young deer was turned
out from the cart, as we ever beheld. He set off
with great speed across the Common, making a
double back, and ran into Black Park, from thence
took across the country towards Denham, directing
his course to the right, back by Langley Park
and leer, leaving Colabroolt to the left, and went
with great swiftness through the inclosures, by
Horton, where he made towards the Thames,
and swam across near Windsor church. The
sportsmen and hounds went over by Dstchett
berry, and renewed the chase, taking over Old
Windsor fields towards Fmgmore, where the deer
finding himself closely pnrsued, leaped over the
high paling into Her Ma./ smee's beautiful garden%
and upwards of forty sportsmen contrived to gain
admittance. The dogs being nearly up with the
deer, and he being touch exhausted, he took into
Her MAJ srry's delightful pond; the hounds fol-
lowed, and got upon him. Several attempts were
made to extricate the poor animal, hut he fell a
sacrifice--the water is very deep, and the dogs
could tint be got off him.
Her MAJESTY and Princes; E LiZA BETH were
there spending the day, and witueseed the whole
of thg sight.
The gardens have sustained considerable da-
mage by the circumstance.
