CORN.

.....
On the motion of Mr. WISTLIN, the Report of
the Committee on the Corn Laws was brought up,
sad the tesolutions were ag-eed to. After which a
Bill vr,!s ordered to be brought in upon the same.
Mr. WtsTERN then brought up a Bill for regu-
lating the Importation and Exportation of Corn,
which was read a first time. He said, be wished to
state distir.ftly to the House, that ill's Bill WAS. in
all it provisions. similar to another Bill which had
recently been passed by, and received the approba-
tion of, the House. He hoped, therefore, that it
would not now meet isith any opposition.
Lord ARCHIBALD HAMII:CON said, there
was one point in the Rill up.sn which he should beg
leave to put a question to the Hon. Gentlemar..
He had understood the provisions, of the Bill. sn far
as they related to the importation and exportation
of corn into and from Scotland and Ireland, had
remained as they stood in 17111. But he since
found that this was not the case. And he was
sorry to observe, that those which were now con-
tained in the Bill, were lieely to be very prejudi-
cial to the people of Scotland. They would not
now have the same facility in procuring oatmeal
from Ireland, as they formerly had.

Mr. WF.STERN said, that the prices by
the importation and exportation of grain betwe-n
Ireland and Scotland were to be regulated, worild
depend on the average aggregate prices of four
distrias in Scotland, which was the fairest criterion
that could be adopted. And he did not conceive
that this could in any manner impede the importa-
tion of oatmeal from Ireland to Scotland. There
was one feature in the j3ill attended with peculiar
advantages, which was, that it would open the
ports between Great Britain and Ireland. If, how-
ever, the Noble Lord objeled to any particular
provisions in the Bill. be thought the proper time
to notice them would be when the Bill came into a
Committee.

The Bill xas then ordered to he read a second
time to-mo,row•, and to be printed.

Mr. CORRY moved that the iteennnt of Irish
Linen esnorted from Ireland since the 'twit). which
had been presented to the House, be intuted.--•

LONL!,)N,
TUESDAY, JULY 24.

Letters from Warsaw of the sth inst. mention the
arrival in that city of a Russian Nobleman from St.
Petersburgh, with a letter written by the Erii-
iLllOß'S own hand, and addressed tu Louts XVIII.
ping of France and Navarre, containing an invita-
tion from the RUSSIAN MONARCR to His Most
CNRIbTIAN MAJNITY to fix his residence at
Mittau, or in any other place in the Russian
Empire, where all the honours due to his rank,
virtues, and misfortunes, shall be paid to him. At
the desire of the Emperor of Russia, Lou:s XVIII.
has made known to all his faithful subjects, ilispersed,
and persecuted in diffi.reat Continental States, that
they have a point to rally round in the Russian Eia•
pire, where they will be proteded, ern?loTed• had
.uccoured. According to the same letters, two
new Corps of Emigrants are to be establ.ched, and
taken into the Russian service, called " The Royal
Legion of Honour," and " Legion of D'Err a I or."
The former, report says, is to be under the imme-
diate command of Lours XVIII. his royal burgher,
and nephews. The command of the latter will be
offered to the Prince Ds Cos o e and Duke of BOUR-
Ins. Should a rupture take place between Russia
and France, these Legions are to form the advanced
guard el the Russian Army, where the Royal Stan-
dard of France, the Oryanse, will be ere&ed, which
all loyal Frenchmen, who can escape the degrading
tyranny of the Cos sican Adventurer, are ordered to
join.

A few nights since, in a hea;y gale of wind, the
enemy had two gun brigs And three lugger' sank,
and sevetAl others driven on shore near Boulogne.

At the close of the Poll yesterday, at Brentford,
the numbers were, for Sir Foornoss BUIDETT, 611,
for Mr. NIA ts .vAtrNo, 5°38; leaving the former
83 a-head of his opponent.

The Matilda cartel, Capta:n DRINA:r., reit, ar-
rived off Portland, after sending several packets on
shore, proceeded for Harre de Grace, to land 300
French prisoners, which she brought from Pondi-
cherry.

This ship left Madras, the 27th Oftober, and Pon-
dicherry, the let November; arrived at the Cape of
:at d Hope, the 25th January, was detained there
till the Bth M ty ; arrived it St. Helena, the 23d,
and sailed from thence the 116th May, when the
lirite.mia And Meow Castle, outward-bound, re-
mained with the Georgivia packet.

His Mut-sr v's ships, Plesternet, of 74 guns,
Captain Di Cocacv, and the Egyptiersae, of 40
gnns, Captain FLLMING, were left at Sr. Helena,
waiting to convoy the homewarl-bound lndiarnen,
none of which had then arrived.

It is again confidentially reported that His
bia-
Je will attend in the House of Peers on the last
day cl the present Session, which, it is supposed,
will not be protraded beyond the Slat instant ; and
in two or three days after the prorogation ut -Parlia-
ment, Their MAJLSTILS will set of for Weymouth,
where preparations are rnakirg for their reception.
We learn that the Governor of the Cape of Goat
Hope, General JAN,EYS, has treated the English
with kindness and humanity, wbiais regrets on him
the greatest honour•; the numerous British subjeSts
residing there, having hitherto been ldc in the full
enjoyment of their property, and without the least
restraint on their persons.

Sir JA M ZS PI:LT LVLY left town yesterday morning,
to resume his command on the Sussex coast,and the
army in that distria is immediately to have an ad-
dition of 16,000 men, among whom are to be the
German Legion, and several regiments of Militia.
The Hon. Major-General FINCV, who commands
the Chelmsford distriet, received orders express, nn
Friday last, to have the troops ready to march for
immediate *Rion ; and, in consequence, the Brigade
of Guards were under arms the principal part of
that night, and still continue prepared to march at
a moment's notice.

A letter from Dover, dated July ft. says—
,' The Faroante hired armed cutter arrived in the
Roads to-day. being blown off her station of Ostend
hs the late gale ; •after taking in some provisions,
she sailed again to her station. By this vessel we
barn that the French continue to send a number of
craft from Flushing rs Ostend ; they do not, as be-
fore their late eng.t:Tement with Sir Sidney Smith,
send them by sea, they now ito up the Scheidt to
Antwerp, and down by the inland navigation.—
They have got a great number there, and at Calais
they have 40 schuyts, 6 gun-brigs, and 4 large
transports ; they contrived, by the favourable op-
portunities that occured, to get them round to Bou-
logne, where these are already upwards of 1200 sail
of all descriptions."
The Brunn Gazette of June 21 contains an ankle
from the frontiers of Turkey, wl.:ch is as follows s—
“ The Turks, on the 19th inst. made a sortie in
force from Belgrade. and endeavoured to carry the
redoubts furnished with artillery, which the Serviette
had ereded in front of their line. The attempt was
unsucceesful, and after a very bloody conflid, they
were obliged to make a precipitate retreat. The
Dar. who commanded the attack, had, it is said.
his foot shot off. Nothing farther is known rela-
tive to Becia PASII•, commissioned by the PORTS
to re-establish order aild tranquillity is Servin." •
