BREACII OF PRIVII.V.:E.-POOLE WRIT.

Colonel WOOL) presented a Petition fr .:n Wm.
Spurrier, who had hs•en ordered into the citandy of
the Serjeant at Art:it, stating that he deeply la-
mented having committed this Breach of nisilsle,
an as to have lectured their scion, displeasure; and
being now sensible of hi; error, he mitt humbly
beiged pardon for the same, and threw him .elf upsn
the mercy of the House, linpiag that they would be
pleased to forgive trim. This Petition was ordered
to Ire on the table; and Colonel Wood moved,
Teat Mr. Sportier be tir‘sight up to the char to.

The SECRETARY at WAIL rote, not he said
to oppose this motion, but to express his sentiments
as to the enormity oleic misdemeatioar of w,.i.7!) this
person had been guilty, Mr. Spurrier 11; id detained
tLe Poole writ for s.:vtmreen er eighteen days, for
ol other purpose than to turn the fate of the ele
tine; his (Mr. Spurrier';) son having had the in-
tention of sanding a candidate, although he had
rterwards thought proper to put another gentleman
into his place. 1t was intended to bring in a new law,
in order to prevent such practices from taking place
in future ; but unless some penalty was kept hang-
ing over the heads of parties concerned, it would
be impossible to get it properly observed Previous,
however, to the existence of such a law, lie thought
it w”old be most prudent for the Moose to be leni-
ent to the individual whose condisa was now the
subject of complaint.
Mr. FULLER thought that something stronger
than a penalty should be imposed, as the individual
who might be guilty of a similar error, might happen
LO be some poor candidate.
Mr. WM. SMITH said, that his view of the
sublet% was very different from that of the Hon.
Mover and the Right Hun. Gentleman opposite,
as to the degree of punishment they seemed to re-
commend upon the present instance. In the case
of Mr. Brundrett, he had indeed uni•ed in what ar-
prated to be the general sentiment of the Louse,
as to the propriety of a lenient punishment. Every
one seemed pomaded that that gentleman was only
an agent, aging under the inspmsion of a certain
duty. which he conceived due to the person who ern-
pleyed him. As to Mr. Spurrier, however, he being
the person who had told the House that he had paid
thirty guineas for this writ, in order to keep it in
safe custody, as his son was to be a candidate, ho

sada pat it to the House, whether such a phi
ought to be entitled ro greater lenity than the former witness, Mr. Brundrett t It was well kinoien, that
to get possession of the writ was a desirable thin,
And consequently this had socca,ionej impfnpe^;
practice to prevail; but he believed this was one
of
the grossed eases that !Yet had apoeared Upon the
reins& of Parliament. He recollefted but one any
thing like it, and that had occerrvd forty year;
ago. When it was recollected, tha• the person who
had thus detained the w-it wai to inhabitant of
Poole, and accpiailite I with all the circa:thus:et
eoncerni-g that E!ettirin. he thought the pt-.eat
apology ct.ull not possibly be accepted; he, there.
fore should fairly acknowltige, toat the motion did
not accord with his sentiments.

Colonel WOOD stated to the House, that the

Mr. WINDHAM said, that although be bad

opinion upon it eit!.er one way or another. He did
think there could be no comparison between the

Mr. LOCKHART hoped that the House would
be indulgent. on account of the Va4lleUltSl of the

circumstance would prove an additional stimulus

The question was then put upon the Amendment

The order of the day for the House going into

REWARD TO DR. JENNER FOR THE VACCINE

That Report was completely in (avow. of this new

derived from It, but what those advantages
were likely to be in future; more esoecially when
windier' against it had had longer time to subside.
tI h. pea, therefore, that the resolution he was about
o prolAse, would not he considered extraordinary
en the part of the I, gislat ere. but just and
,becons-
inely libel al. Some years ago an inquiry had been
iestituod as to Oa utility of vaccination ; but At
that early period it was impossible to judge accu-
however. it was no reason because the House
rarely;
of Commons then refused to give 20,0001 that
now an addition should not he voted to the 10,0001.
then voted, when tyre and expe:ience bad fully
convinced the public of the unity of t! e discovery,
sod after the inquiries that had been institut-d, and
d,l',soh of these inquiries had proved pettedly 5.1
t,,fdeery. What he meant therefore now to provse
WAS an additin s of 10,0001 to the Io,oooi. which
h. 1,1 been formerly voted. The Report of the Cul-
Ire of Physicians was to him pet-teal satisfaaery.
sal %tilt:tend, shelve d the value of the disci- very. If
it were assumed as a deism, that inoculation for
use small pox was an useful discovery. the paper
bia spots the Table would chew how much greater
advatratiii this mode of vaccination had oven that
()linos lab n. both in point of security, as well as
the inconveniencies and dangers of t`.e
other mod-, which • sometimes introduced oche:
disorir7s 1r:to the human frame. In the Report of
the c•i;eee, f Pliysicans it was stated, that in the na-
tural pox about 1 out of 6 that were seized with
the diso:.ler di ~1 ; ay inoculation about one in 300;
whereas ow or 1ti4,38i persons who had been vac-
chives), the death. ooly amounted to sArte, which
is is th. proportion of one to $4,760. But, besides
t.es, three deaths, it was candidly stated in the re-
port, that there were 36 eases. in which it appeared
that the small-pox had Appeared after vacein.tion ;
snJ even if to nit were added, the instances of va-
sines ereptions, or scrophulous complaints, which
fell wed the vaccine inoculation. in certain cases,
smmating to 156 out of the number specified, yet,
wen thee, there was no proportion between this
case and what would have followed by ino-
culation. These advantages had not been con-
fined to our own island, bat the whole world
had, at the same time. been benefited. There
w.ts. indeed, en ohjeaion of rather a curious
nature, which he had met with. tending to dis-
courage this praaice, namely, that population would
be n.o much increased, (Ins alluded to the arou.
weirs of Mr. Malthus); but still, upon a subjea of
this n store, he should prefer the diaates of huma-
nity to the theory of phil-isophy. Wherever God
gave lite, it was ussoi's duty to preserve it. If
they went lion any c ticulation of the value of the
lives thus savtd. as well as in the expense saved in
bnseitak by means of this new praatee, the value
of this discovery would leave every other be.
yond competition. He had therefore to prop-se,
* That a stun not exceeding 10,0001. be granted
to His Majesty to remunerate Dr. Edward J..mser,
as a further reward for promulgetinp los discovery
ef Vaccine I .oculatian, where",y a mild and effica-
cious mode of treating the small-pox had been so
extensively adopted, and that this sum should be
withont any fee or &duelists whatsoever."

Mr SHAW LEFEVRE Lose with reluaante
Tt oppose the motion. He expressed a high esteem
for D,. Jena r. and had perfeitly concurred in the
former vete ot 10,0001. It appeared to him that
the innteri .le of the report new upon the table were
to he tots' I in the previous report of a Coalmine*
of di. House o' Commons. and from this report of
the o.ller of Physicians. it appeared that the Vac-
tine Im ulation was not an infailib:e cure, for there
were 36 eases ot failure. The former report stated
that it never introduced any disease; but now it
appeared that in various instances it had introduced
scrophuloua complaints and other alarming appear-
ances; so that the report on which the House of
Commons formerly aged. when they voted 10.0001.
to Dr. inner, now appeared not to be well founded.
Besides, beton:Tented that a grant of this sort should
be proposed in so advanced a period of the Session,
when rues of piihlic money to a considerable extent
were brought forwarJ. and many Members were
retiring into the country. He thought it wait also
clear that 13r. Jenner was not the original inventor
of the Vaccine Inoculation, for it had been prac-
tised is Cor-ica from the year 1777, and there was a
rnpetßable Gentleman in Dorsetth ire, whose family
had been thus vaccinated in 1777. He tbstefore
thought that some remuneration was due to that
head of a family.

l'ne CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
explained.

Lord HENRY PETTY said, the only hesitation
be felt was, as to the adequacy of the propostA
grin'. compared with the utility of tee invention.
When all that could be reasonably expeded had been
toll. dicd on the subjefl. and so sit. ugly repeeser.ted
toe beneficial efr-ds of the vaccine inoculation,
the public ought to have sufficient confidence on the
subject ; nor wss the lateness of the Session any cut-
Lient ohjeainn to the grant, when Inch consider-
able nuns of public money would most probably
be voted, and which would require the attention of
Gentlemen in that House. There was no standard
of merit tespefting any human .iiscovery to which
this of Dr. Jenner's would not bear to be equalled,
or rather, which it would not surpass. Such a claim
n is to be firdnded on a considerat:enof great public
Nit ility. T.,e preservation of the bro. of our sailors
A .4 solJier. was connefted with it. He thought, that
a'istever individuals by his own exertions, spent
La time and money, and made sacrifices which
essentially redound-d to the public advantage, it
vat it that the public by their remuneration should
add to the lame of such individuaL He thought
it was no sufficient objeftion against the grant.
that this was not au infallible discovery. The corn-
Paretive advantage it possessed over inoculation, in
point of csicty and success, had already been stated,
and it appeared that the number of those under
vaccination, who sut red in the Smallest de.
gtee, was less than even the whole number of
c'efibs by inoculation. Mr. Malthus had argued
against an overgrown population, on account of
foe increase of disorder.; but if Dr. Jennet's
system became universal, it would remove the
ground of Mr. Malthus's argument. He did
n,,t wish to recommend a system of compulsion.
Yet he thought that no individual could claim
a right to pursue a mode whits would endanger the
health of u•hrr persons, and spread contagious dis-
eases; and which, till yr. Jenner's system should

because universal. would be.mttooded with dan-
gerous conseqn?nres. Wary thing were want-
,nq to corroborate the luminous Report of Abe
Cnllege of Physicians, what had oircatred in
other countries was sufficient the success there
had been such as to overcome the prejudices In
Asia. where the people net@ the most wedded to
their old customs and opinions ; end' It was also a
wafter of cmgratulation, to see Yew liberally the
medical deprtintetit had pursued and recommenh'd
this new system, so contrary to their own srlish pe-
cuniary motives. His Lordship concluded an elo-
quent speech, with warmly recommending the
grant propoccd:._

General TA RLETON Gore testimony, as a mili
tarn man, that the discovery of Dr. Jenner had
saved a considerable number of lives of the military.
In the caism2 of Lu cal.ity, he thought this Gentle.
man, who had heeu t.:,e Saviour of millions, was far
more worthy of resowii than the slayer of thnusands,
and deserved more homage than the trophird urn
raised over th- most successful warrior.

Mr. STURGES BOURNE complained of the
practice at the Small Pox Hospital, of inoculating out
patients, who were requited to repair there three
times a week to be inspeeted, by which means the
small pox W3l spread by fresh contagion.
Mr. HAWKINS BROWNE licped that the
practice complained of by the lionourahle Getale-
man vus now discontinued. He considered it as
one of the most prominent advantages or the vac-
cine inoculation, tha: it did not communicate in-
fetrion. Had toe reward proposed been 10,0001. a
year, Dr. Jnnet would have deserved it ; and he
wished to have in•erted in the motioa, these
words. •' A mpde which communicates no infec-
tion."

Mr. HOBHOCSE (Chairman) suggested, that
it would be proper first to wait, and see whether
the House agreed as to tise sum proposed to be
voted.

Mr. MORRIS spoke bitrMly in favour of Dr.
Jrnner's system. Inoculation he considered as
source of complaint, on. account of its spending
the sma.l pox, wt ilst vaccine inoculition went
nearly to sterminate it. What eahancrJ t',e vilue
of Dr Jenner, as to his individual merit, was, that
nothing had been added to this discovery, of any
importance, by any other person Dr. Jenner had
been put in that situation, either to succeed or fail ;
had he tailed. he must have lost • is professional ern.
pinylment. He thottgls the re,vard now proposed
of 10,000.1. was not adequate to his merits, and he
should theiefire move, As an Anaemia:oat, " Chat
20.0001 be inserted insPead of 10.0001. v

Sir JOHN SEBIUGHT said, he personally
knew Dr. Jeriner, from his having inoculated %eve-
ral of his children, and he knew that the greatest
benefits had resulted in his neighbourhood. 'He
thought it would I:e disgraceful to the House and
country not to give an ample reward ; he, there-
fore, seconded th- amendm-nt.

Mr. HIMBER P approved of the additional
grant.
Mr. WILBERFORCE, in a speech of some
length, w-nt over the same grounds of the ►alue of
this discovery of Vaccine In,witlgtion, hut should
prefer voting Dr. Jenner an annuity of 10001. a year,
in addition to the grant of 10.0001. r.tther than to
vote 20,0001.

Mr. WINDHAM also assigned a variety of
reasons for wisi.ing an ample rroinneration to Dr.
Jeuner, nut only on his own account, nut also that
this eouniry rt::ln stand well in the es;:rna,ion ot
foreigners, who were pod in their praists df this
discover y.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER,
in answer to the Noir. Genti.nnall's (Nit. Wilber-
force) sugge.tion. observed, that the House was
now in a committee ot Supply, and thesefore could
proceed no farther than granting a supply for
the year ; and therefore, if 4141 annuity was grained
to Dr. Jecner, it must be proposed either in a Com-
mittee of the whole House, or by a Message from
the King. As to the additional grant movei by
the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Morris) he saw tee
suHi-
eient reason for altering his original resolution. Dr.
Jenner had lost nothing by communicating bus dis-
covery, rather than by asSiag in a more contrahed
sphere I for had be only consulted his owls interest,
his only chance ot success was to disseminate his
discovery Ci,ough the country, so as to give it that
charatter which it deserved. The suns be bad
proposed bore a proportim to sums which had been
voted its that House for the services. By the same
rule that one Gentleman proposed tdO,ODUI, others
might have proposed SO,OOOl. and so °it. He
should therefore resist the Amendment, and connue
himself to the original motion for 10.0001.
Mr. W. SM I CH spoke in favour of the Amend-
ment, and 'hewed the extensive success Dr.
Jetiner's system had obtatasd in South America,
Spain, and other coantries, from extradls he read
front Tha Madrid Garotte.

Mr. WHITBREAD was in favour of larger
sum. He did not think Dr Jenner entwined his
own interest so much by making known the disco-
very, es if he haul confined the knowledge and prac-
tice of it to himself. He had. by bis discovery.
rendered service to parishes, add been the means of
decreasing the pnor's rates.
Mr. FULLER also was for the larger grant of
20,0011. and strongly urged the adoption of some
measure. in order to prevent the dwrminatimi of
the small-poi. owing to me intedion spread by
inoculation.

Mr. ROSE. Jun. also spoke in favour of the en-
larged grant.
A Member under the Gallery was for prohibiting
inoculation any where else tags in hospitals.

11r. Svaeasvaa arrsve.! Last morning with dia•
patches trans the Continent. we believe from Lord
HOTCIIII4OII, and at nee utleek yesterday a Cabi-
set Coma sat upon them at the Foreign Office. It
was attended by all the Cabinet Ministers, and the
aiming did not break up until half past two
O'clock. According to report, the dispatches have
brought an account that the French have obtained
poeseseies of Stralsund, and at the time of the
departure of the Messenger. that place was occupied
by Use* French troops. This report we think
very probable.—The Here 1A Correspoodottels of
the Ited, received yesterday, states, under the head
of Bemis. Use lath ioatest. that the Trench were
huller the walk of Stralsund, and that the King of
Sousa bad solicited an armistice, which was re-
fused. nevi op= condition of the surrender of
that ay, ass security, into the hands of the enemy.
Mr. Castattio remained at the Foreign Office after
the Council broke up. and did not. with the other
Minieurs, wait upon His MAJESTY. It it supposed
that he was occupied with preparing an answer to
the dispatches brought by Mr. SyLvrsria. No
Meow:ger. however, bad been sent off to the Con-
tinent at a late hour last eight, nor was any ordered
to be in immediate readiness.

A ranoar of a partial change in the Ministry has
been in circulation for sortie days, but we believe
it has no real foundation. The threatened re.
snoval of the Duke of PORTLAND. from the Official
House, in Downing-street, in whizn he has resided
orly a few days, may be on: of the circumstances
which gave rise to iw No political inference, how-
ever, ought to be drawn from this circum.tance.
The faa is, the Duke of Poe TLAND removed to
Downing-street is coasequence of his leave, under
which be Bwlington-House, his n•aal rect.
dale% baviez expired. Itut the- Duke of Di:roo-
mette, the lesser. has, within these few d.sys, psr
posed to his GM! • renewal for two years. which
the Delta of Poiret awe has accepted ; the 011i:ial
House in Downing-street being much too mall for
his domestic establishment, amounting to abaft
300 persons, exclusive of 20 employed at Bulstiode.

Protections are again granted ; and a Messenger
was sent off last eight from Lord Haw In 's
Office to the Loan Lisuramast of IRtcs-n, with
directions to release all vcssels under emha:7l in
the several ports of that part of the United kin z,.
dom. We understand. that cams have been al.o
Riven to the Commissions' of :he C :;:oms to release
all vessels embargoed in the several posts of .EnglAmi
and Ireland ; same to take effect to-rnotrovr. From
this it may be pr.,surned, that the whole of the Ex-
pedition will have sailed before that time. A.l tie-
grap',.ie Dispatch, however, received last evening at
the Admiralty, at four, p. es. announced, that the Se-
tif the Exrdition bad not then sawed.

was !brutally declared a free and independent city,
on the lath. The other fundamental stipulations
of the Treaty between France and Prussia, are
given in a private letter, which states, that the
latter is to lose he: possessions in Westphalia.
The provinces which I smaiu to Prussia will be suc-
cessively evacuated by the French, between the 20th
of duly and the Ist of October, begiuniog with
Tilsit. en the Einem side, and ch3i:lg with Magde-
burg. ate. on the Western. The remaining points
were to be settled by Plenipotentiaries, who were to
meet for the purpose at Berlin, on the 2.ith instant.
Bos AAAAA s left Konigsberg on the 13th. for
Dresdee, on his way to Paris. where pre; amnions
have been ordered for his reception on the first of
August. Dresden was expelled to be .t scene of
great splendour and festivity during his stay there.
' homage Bow•paAT& arrived in it on the 15th, and
the Ki NO was to set oat next day to meet NA POIAON.
The King of Bavaria, and several other Princes were
also expelled to honour that capital with their
presence. It was reported that a General Congress
would be held at Dresden, but it is more prohabl-,
the marriage of Bristlier Jetonte and the Princess
AUGUSTA of Saxony. is the objeet of N•POLSON'S
visit to Dresden, and the subjelt that will occupy
his attention during his stay.
The French were before the gates of Stralsnnd
on the 16th, and it was reported, that the King of
SwLocti hid demanded an Armistice, but that it
was refused upon any other condition than the sur-
render of that city as a pledge.
If Antwerp be the cli;,,A o!. one exnedition, we fear
that the enemy will be found prtp..rcd t‘t meet it.
Additional troops have been sent to tha; city; the
garrison of which amounts to 80n0 men.
It appears that the Emperor of R c'ts:• has re-
turned to St. Petersburgh.
