MIDDI.FcrX PETITION

Mr. MOORE said, he held in his hand a Petition
from several persons, Eleeters for Middlesex, the
objeft of which he begged to state to the House.
In a former Session, a Petition had been presented
from certain Freeholders of Middlesex, against the
qualification of Mr. G. B Mainwaring ; but he not
being the Sitting Member at the time, but only a
petitioning Candidate, they were told the Petition
could not be entertained at that time. Mr. Main-
wming had since been declared the Sitting Member,
and the present Petition”is conceived they had a
right to present this Petitinn, which was exanly si-
milar to the other, as fourteen days had not passed
since the Hon. Gentleman had taken his scat. It
had therefore been put into his hands since he came
down to the House, to present in the absence of an
Hon. Friend of his, who was to have brought it
forward. He knew nothing, he said, of the patties,
only that they had been stated le him to be Eleselor;
of Middlesex.

The SPEAKER wished, on the pressnt occasion.
to have the advice and assistance of the House. If
the Petition were direeTly against the seat of the
Sitting Member, the lion Gentleman had a tight
to lay it on the Table. As the Hon. Gentleman,
however, had opened it to the I louse, it was for
them tsl consider whether it teas such as they could
%%jib propriety teceive.
Mr. PERCIVAL (t} .e late Attorney-General).
said, that a Committee having already determined
that Mr. Mainwaring is the ',ming Member, he
thought the House could not allow the Petition to
be teemed. The Petitioners, in his opinion, put
the House into an embarrassing situation ; and it
was incumbent on the Hon. Gentleman who present-
ed the Petition, to chew how they were entitled to
have it taken into consideration.

Mr. Secretary FOX said, that from the first
• view of the suhjerct, it appeared to him the Peti-
tion could not be received. As to the question
of qualification, he did not know at what precise
Lime it ought to be brought forward ; but, as it was
a point of some consequence, he thought it would
be better, if the time words( allow of,it (as he under-
stood it would) to pospone it till to-morrow, that
Gentlemen might better consider the Aa on which
it was grounded; and it there were any difficulty, to
!ee how it might best be remedied in future cases of
the same kind.

Mr. PERCIVAL said, that if this Petition were
allowed, the Petitioners might as well petition against
Mr. Mainwaring, on every other point which the
Committee had already determined in his Carom.,
which would be giving leave to hatra%s Members in
the :nest .an'ust manner.

Mr. MA !NW Nfr; 441-Lied tq the Pisthior
tieing received, beer e, Lseiits on the ground of his
qiialification, it w's a Petition to renew a former Pe-
tit r,, and Ortefore otwht to have been r..leoted
within fon- days after taking his seat.
The SPEAK ER said, the Hon. Mcmher was
very corriiet in his argument, if this were a Petition
to renew a Petition. The only way, however, to
ascertain that, was through the niedium of the lion.
Gentleman ss ho brought it for Ward„ who must ci
ther real tl:e Petitit.n, and so enaLle the !loos,. to
judge of it, or else to say in what light he himself
considered it.

Mr. rslOOllE said, he thought it was a Ntition
to revive a former Petitifm.

The SPEAKER said, having admitted that,
there was an end of the business; for it was clear,
by the rules of the House, su.:h a Petition was not
admissible, as it ought to have been presented
within four days.
The Petition was therefore not received.

" LON DON,
TUESDAY, Fitioakir t.

A Morning Paper of yesterday contained the fol-
lowing paragraph :
ss unvier,tarni, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer
hay written a letter to the Governor of the Bank, desiring the
opinion of Mai body, what would be the probable effect of
rai,ing the Property Tax from *even to ten per C.nt., avAl
also, what would be the probable of applying some pan
of the Sinking Food to the p.tyment of the interei of a new
Loan. It is proper to add, however, that Government have
not revoiviel on either or these measures; aril the Chancellor
ortl.e Exeheytei', letter states, that they will nut be adopted
without very mature consideration."

Yesterday was a holiday at the Stock-F.xch tnge,
but *private bargains were done at 1 per cent.
low the pt ice of Consols on Saturday; and this de-
pre.sion of the Funds was attributed to the above
paragraph. Sir lArt LL IA NI CURT IS adverted to it
last night in the House of Commons ; and was as-
sured by the CilaNcet.t.na of the Excn Novi, that
there was no foundation whatever for the statement
alluded to. This -disa.rowal must prove a great
di.appointment to the Jacobins. They had eagerly
seized hold of the report, and male it the founda-
tion of clamour and abuse against the Ministry.
One of them last night emended Lis observations
upon tLe subjeet with the following sharp rebuke :

" There is another point, too, to which we hurt cat tilt at.
tention of our reader•—Tlte new Ist 666 I 6 tt n began by telling us,
that tht•y eanceat.ated all the talents necessary to save thc
country ; yet, hs their very slst measure, thev act as if they
had taken upon themselves a buNiness for. which they sett
oont.—Whr refer to the Bank of Engia:,il 0.,,ta what is ne-
c, .0... is to be dome for theCouu'•y 'f"

We would advise these Jacobins not to be so pre-
cipitate in their censure in future.

To some observations, last night. in the Ilnuse
of Lords, relative to the Crust. JUSTICE a the
S►ing'•-ketch being a Cabinet Minister; Lord
GKE. NVI Luc answered, that there was no conch)).
tional differenre between a Cabinet Minister and a
Privy Counsellor, and that the cases of Lord ILs ao.
.wtcKe, anal Lord Islassrsttn, were precedents to
justify Lord F.i.t.ssaoaouum's possession of a seat
in the Cabinet. The Earl of BRISTui, tint bring
satisfied with the answer. gave notice of a motion
on the subject, for Mnnd.ty next. Mr. S Sr .%
HOPS gave notice of a similar motion in tire Com-
mons, on Tuesday nest.

close confinenselit, when I bore the rank of a full
captain ; and if this is ali the liberty I have gained.
to be bereaved of my children in that form, ant! they
made slaves, I had rather be withoilt it, I hope
that Congress will take some speedy mtthed to re-
lieve net- poor distressed children from under their
wretched hands, whose tenderest mercy is cruelty."
On the same day, and in the same place, Mr.
Caossnissistetn observed, that at the last session
there had been a return made to the Reuse of the
American seamen impressed by British vessels,
which bad been aged upon. Since that period,
these imprlissmients had increased in a most asto-
nishing degree. It was a fact, that from t,500 to
3.000 of their best seamen were detained by the
British. We want, said Mr. C the services of t!iis
useful class of men. That the attention of the
House may be drawn to the subjea, in order that
proper measures may be taken by the government,
I have drawn up the following resolution :
Reselsed— [hat the Secretary of State be directed to lay
before this !louse a return of the number of American 'women

ieg to the United States from Eurnpe,
This resnisttion was agreed to unanimously.
But the public sentiment is not expressed merely
in the Memorials of the principal cities of the United
States, or confined to the observations of the News-
papers. Trlie Legislature is organizing the Militia,
and augmenting the regular army. The city of
New-York hiss also presented a Memorial to Con-
gress, prayin that fortifications may be ercded fe.r
the protein io of that city. We have uo apprehen-
sion of a ru ure between the two counts ice; but
it it impossit- to view with indifference this grow-
ing jealous/4nd discontent on the part of a nation
which we ought to reckon our most steady, aca-
lons, and affediorate ally.
