NEW LOTTERY.

The !louse having resolved itself into a Commit-
tee of Ways and gleans. Mr. ALaxAsinca in the
Chair ;

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
rose to bring forward his 210600 for raising a sum
of money for the ensuing year by way of inttery.
He meant that the number of tickets should be
80,000, the same as last year; that the price of
each ticket should be 101. and the whole sum be
900,0001. The whole should be divided into three
Lotteries. He should also propose that, instead of
raising a specific sum at one give% rime, by which
the public might be deprived, as was the case last
year, of the chine. of hiving tickets ott advae.

On the motion of Mr. Rose, the report of the
Cotton Manufaaurers Bill was orchned to be re:.
ceived on Monday.
Lady Kilwarden's Annuity Bill was real a third
time and passed.
CORN.

- - --- -
On the third reading of the Corn Bill ;
Colonel STANLEY said, he had been aprlied to
by several persons, who wished that the periods v.hen
the alterations in the rates of bounty on coi n com-
ing from America were to take place, stould be
extended to a longer time.
Mr. PITT said, he had no objeCtion to exter.ding
the time ; for it was fair, that if corn, which had
been ordered before the Bill was introduced, should
arrive after a certain time, it should be allowed
to be entered according to the former rates
of bounties. But he would not consent .0 have
the time extended o) as to enable persons to send
out fresh orders.

Mr. WES FERN proposed a clause fir making
the rates lower ou corn coming from the British Co-
lonies in America, than from any other foreign
place. The rate he proposed was, 535. on wheat,
when the rate from other countries, was 60s. per
quarter.
Mr. FOSTER introduced a clause for' regulating
the rates between Great Britain and Ireheid.
The further proceedings on the Bill were post-
poned until to-morrow, 1,1 consequence of a )10tion
intended to be made by Mr. Patteson, for fitlng the
proportion of the rates of rye, barley, and oats,
coming from Canada, according to the rate upon
wheat.
LOYALTY LOAN.
Mr. PITT gave notice, that he would, on Mon-
day next, submit a proposition to the House, re4.l-
- to the stock created by what was called the Loy-
alty Loan.

IRISH ADDITIONAL FORCE. RILL.
The Househaving resolved it,elt into a Commi
tee oa this Bill, several amendments were propkieed
and adted.
Mr. GILES ohje&ed to that clause in the Hilt
which went to empower the Lord Lieutenant c.f
Ireland to lower the bounty ; and proposes'. that it
should not be lowered to more than three fourths of
the bounty.
Sir LVAN NEPEAN laid, it was only intended
to vest the Lord Lieutehant with that power in cer-
tain cases where he should think it necessary.
Mr. SHERIDAN said, he never would consent
to the granting of such a power. The power might
be abossd. It was well known, that mareal law
still existed ii. Ire:And ; and in some ceuntiis, which
were suspeCte..! of treason or disatEr3ion, this pw.ver
might be converted into an instru rent of oppressi.-m.
The bounty might be made so low, that ,Hest most
either be conspelkd to enli.z. or the counties usa-
ble to procure men would become satjzti to Itelvy
fines and penalties.

The amendment was then adopted ; and the
He,t,e being resumed, the Report was ordereJ to
be brought up to-morrow.
The Committee on the Iri.h Nf Alt Imrort n
Bill, was put of till to-IEIOI7OW. AdjousLevi.

,ONDON,
SATURDAY, JULY 7.

'We have received a letter from Hambtrgh, dated
2"th June, of which the following is an extrad :
" Letters from Riga mention, as a fakl, that the
Russian fleet at Revel has already sailed, and that it

will Le joined by the fleet from Cron,t.idt ; they sa),

fh.tt on Lc 'ld these fleets is a ritinueloas corps of

Russian troops. whose fist destination is Ireland.
Notwithstanding these warlike appearances, the

cojnmon opinion is, that during the present year the
peace of the continent will not be interrupted, be-
cause the Rti,:iian troops are only regarded as Eng-

ish auxiliaries.

" It is reported that the King of PRUSSI A has, by
the demand of BON AP A nix, written a second letter to
Louis XVIII. with propo.als to resign his cbims

to the throne of France ; but that this unfortunate

Prince has given no other answer than that he
would send a copy, both of 1 lis PaI:,SIAM MA-
JaSIV'S letter, and of that of Monsieur BONA-
PARTE, which accompanied it, to St. Petersburgh."

That a Rus.ian army should be embarked for
the purpose of being landed in Ireland, every
one acquainted with the constitution of this country
must t. rat as a groundless speculation. No Mi-

nister would dare to land a Russian force in any part
of the United Kingdom, w•ithnut the consent of
Parliament previously obtained ; and it must, in-
deed, be an extreme case in which such consent
would be applied for. To that part of our Cor-
respondent's letters we ale not inclined to pay any
attention ; but we think the passage interesting in a
general view, as shewing the public opinion and

feeling in Ilussia. There are also many concurrent
ciicnm7,tances which five it an importance that it
would net otherwise possess. The refusal of the
Era etnoa of Russ' A to acknowledge Bomar Aare'
newly assumed rank and title; his spirited re-
rmastrance delivered to the Litt at Rad:bon,
on the I7th last, against the violation of the Ger.
man Empire, by the seizure if the Duke of
Errantly at Ittenheim ; the departure of Ge-
neral lienouv rut t, the French Minister, from
St. Peter:ourjh ; and the daily conferences between
the Itessi AN i.lintsv ea in London, and our Seca t-
ef rAvz far 'foreign A;airs, constitute a
mac: ac evidence, tending to prove a breach be-
tween France and Rit.sia, and a closer cannetlion
between the latter power and England. Every cir-
cumstance that uanspires of the rtlations between
the three na-..ians, :hews that. the Emperor Atex-
a SM» is as weil disposed towards us, as be is bowie
to LUNA, A Nor is this a new feeling or new
change of principle and condua. It bears date far
back as the famous interview of Lord Wni isruaTH
and Bon ay Alt I I:, and the disapprobation expressed
by the Rossi AN XISTER at Paris, of Coni..n. pride
and insolence. When then we find , mis-
trust, and coldness, uniformly r micrearing hei,k een
two nations for a continued space of eighteen mot, ;
and when we find the system fiu:n which they oit-
ginate,• every day mocc ap.,;.:-•tvated and ofielisive,
we see no result in %hid, t;:ey can ei,d i.ty:ri hos-
tility. Some, indeed, do not scruple to .say that
things are al: eadyartived at thisstates and that a treaty
of alliance, if not already signed, between Great
Britain and Russia, is in a very forward state, sti-
pulating for mutual co-operation and support against
France. The Riga letters, to which our correspon-
dent at Hamburgh alludes, give much consistency
to this report; and we have also to notice a report
circulated yesterday with great confidence, stating
that our Government has received authenti4. advices
from Constantinople and the Black Sea, that Russia
is preparing large armaments in the latter place.
But in discussing this point, we need not look far-
ther than to ascertain the existence of the ra:ning of
Russia. If such preparations are makiiig, it {id.
lows of course that they must be destined against
France. In this case money would Le want-
ing to pay our new auxiliary forces, and the
rurnear which has prevailed fur some days past,
that the Minister will require a large vote of
credit, would star.' conirrncd. Indeed, an Even-
ing Paper of yesterday was so impressed with this
idea, that it did not hesitate to publish the follc.W:.g
ar:icle :
