PRICK SIXPENCE.

in the Chair—the different Clauses were agreed to,
aad the Report ordered to be received to-morrow.
ILCIIESTEE ELECTION.
Mr. Joan SMITH reported from the chest:et/
Committee, that they had come to a ution,
that Trios( As PLUMMER, Esq. WI Lii# TYR.'
Esq. bir WILLIAM MaeNeas, Ba Nips
GRAHAM, Esq. were not duly elate u
Parliament for the said Borough. That neither:the
Petitions nor the Defence were frivolous or vexa;
tious e arid that the last Elation for the said Be-
rough was a void Elation ; and that the Com-
mittee had further resolved, that there prevailed,
during the said Elation, such a system of corrup-
tion and individual bribery, for the perpose of in-
fluencing the votes of the elators, that the Com-
mittee thought it necessary to submit them to the
most serious consideration of the Howle,—and had
further resolved, that ALEX•NDE:I DAVIDSON, of
St. James's-square, JOiIN WHITE PARSONS, and
Tnotans HAweies, had taken an au2ive part in the
said system of corruption.—The Report having
been brought up and read by the Clerk, Mr. J.
SMITH then said, that wishing to give Gentlemen
the necessary time for duly considering the subjal,
he would move, that the Report be taken into con-
sideration on the undermentioned day after the ho-
lidays. The day appointed Was Friday the 221 of
April. He then moved, that. the evidence given
before the Committee be printed, and that the Mi-
nutesof their proceedings be laid on the Table,
which was agreed to. He then moved, that a new
writ be issued to return a Member to serve in Parlia-
ment for the Borough of Ikhester, in the room of
Thomes Plurnmer, Esq. and Wm. Hunter, Lsq.
whose elations had been declared void.—Ordered.

A petition was presented from the Cotton-spin-
ners of Yorkshire, Leicestershire, and Derbyshire,
against the Bill for regulating disputes between
masters and servants in that trade. the petition
was referred to a selet Committee, to which w,:s
also referred the petition.; from the Manufaanters
of Cotton in Scotland, to the same eficed.

Mr. N. VANSITTART brougl.t up the Bill for
granting an annuity of 10,001. to Rear-Admiral Sir
James Saumarcz, and the Bill for raisingfour mil-
lions by loan on Exchequer Bills; which were read a
first and ordered to be read a second time to-morrow.

On the motion of Mr. Cottav, the Irish Ac-
counts presented to the House were ordered to be
printed.

The Woolwich Oiclnance Bill was read a third
time and passed. •
After disposing of he otherbrders of the day, the
House adjourned till to-morrow. •

CARNIVAL AT:PARIS.
--wee
FROM. A. PARIS PAPER.
Tim -ot three rows of carriages, a number of
htckney-coachns, some cavalcades? and an immense
crowd of people on foot, have filled for two or thre.,
daps the whole extent of the Rut St. Honore, and a
great part of the Boulrup.ds. Every body goes
there to see masks ; and very fe* masks being to
be seen,..thuse thatgo as spetators generally finish
by ridiculing and laughing at one another. How is
a Journalist to escape falling under the description
of those laughers ? ' I, myself, mixed in the crowd,
and. walked on the Boulevard; like other people.
Thetwo first days the elegance•of some of the car- .
riages attradled, my attention : one was particularly
• remarked that had six horses, equipped and driven
. in the Spanish fashion, bur preceded and followed
by two English jockies. - The- tv® first 'days rather
resembled the promenade to Longcharnps than the
orgies of the Carnival ; the third day, however, pre-
sented some few disguises. Among the charades'
must remarked, was. a French Knight on horse-
back, followed by his Squire, and preceded by two
Heralds at, Arrni., The dross of those four per-
sonages was very exth, and the armour appeared
to have been taken frUrri some- old arsenal. Those
who went disguised tts friars or nuns were but few,
and the crowd either did not look at the-in at all, fo
paid tl-mn very little attention. A woman dressed
a female Savoyard, in an open cabriolet, with a
young officer paying his court taller, were among; .
the must conspicuous figures.

Thor, who run on foot threngh the difFerent
streets for the purpose of seeing: mask;, were less
-numerous than- formerly,. and one might say the
Carnival was seized with la. Grippe,-

- Som.-young men, dre,t• in the extremity of the
fashion. and with bootrwhich come above the kn:_e.
and coats that only covered half the body, v en-
supposcli--by the crowd to have assumed this dress
for the Carnival,. and 'they -cried out, " Here are
yriore masques." ,
There were young, women also, who tool: the op.
pertunity of the Carnival to put on male att;re;
they seemed, however, tacitly to confess, tint
was repugnant to the. Graces, and could only b..
done•at a time when all that is suitable and beeon,-
hag is forgotten,,Fda woman may assume the dress
of -a
man.
But the greatest nelliber of our beauties appeared
in that light dress which best becomes them. 'the
promenades were full of beauties, who vied with
each other. As winter had caused them to disap-
pear for the last four mcuths, they were again bc-
held with peculiar pleasure-. Every body observe.'.
that the flne.weather brought back the ladies to tilt'
walks, as the spring brought back the flowers of
rose. As fur me, in seeing them, I said, "La Gripp
in the midst of its ravages, has spared the most
par/oldie Creation."
