NOTTINCH.II,I commlrrEE, MARCH 10.

Mother witness, examined before the Committee
appointed to try the merits of tl:e Petition of this
Eledion, was yeso.rday committed, for prevarica-
tion. His name is Stephen Brookes. The Com-
mittee retimt for near an hour; on their return into
Court, the Chairman (Isaac Hawkins Browne, Esq.)
thus addressed the witness
" Stephen ftritokeri---I am extremely rune ened to have oc•
cation to delivte to you the Tery sevam judgment of ter Com-
mittee. The C have mat to three resolutions

!Cruse of Common:, that you be sent to Newgate, as th:s rc
the svond attempt of the same atrocious nature which hat
been mad: in the emrse of thit inquiry Yon must cmsider,
that there cannot be a greater offence than that of wilful pre-
varication. When you are called Lewin to give evidence on

when it it repeated, that the puliehment shoeld Oe at severe

to iniiiet on you. I heartily hope that yo: r punishnient will
bring your mind to a een.-e of !oily' guilt The Committee
hove given you every opportunity of ex,:laming your evidence.

The Messenger of the Sergeant at Arms immedi.
ately took the witness into custody.

FIRE.

-4

Last night, about nine o'clock, a fire broke out
in the premises of Mr. M asotr, a Cooper, in Rose-
mary-lane, Minories, which raged with such vio-
lence, that the whole of his extensive Cooperage
was consumed in a few hours. Upwards of five
hundred casks and hogsheads were destroyed by
the flames, which communicated to several adjoin-
ing houses, and from the difficulty of bringing the
engines to work in a very confined situation, it is to
be feared, much more damage must have ensued.
A detachment of soldiers from the Tower attended
on this occasion. The concourse of people of the
lower order assembled near the conflagration was
immense ; and, to add to the confusion and horror
of the scene, a numerous and well-armed press-
gang attended on the spot, and dragged away a
number of seamen from among the mob.
About twelve o'clock, we are happy to state,
the fire was nearly got under. We bear that four
houses have been burned down. The flames could
be distinaly seen all over the city, and their died
upon the sky was visible in all the suburbs.

At a late meeting of the inhabitants of Shrews-
bury, convened by the Mayor, it was unanimously
resolved to oppose any clause which may be intro-
duced into the bill for building the new bridge at
Gloucester, which may have for its obje6t the lay-
ing any tonnage upon goods passing under it.—Ani
we find that the Mayor of Bristol has call d a meet-
ing of the merchants and traders of that city, to
consider of the proper steps to be taken to oppose
such bill, as being highly detrimental to the navi-
gation of the Severn.
In the last Liverpool paper, there are forty-Jew. •
AMERICAN ships advertised for freight, and twenty-'
ail BR IT fur foreign ports: also twelve ves-
sels for sale.
The Commission for Worcester was opened on
Saturday last : the calendar is very heavy, an
many of the prisoners are for capital offences.
THE CENT CR V.—During the warmth of the dis-
putes which prevailed at the end of 1800, and the
beginning of the following year, " Well ;" said an
officer of the Guards to his companion, " the Lau-
reat being against us, what shall we do about the
close of the last century ?"•—•." An please your ho.
nour," said a sergeant, accosting them, 44 they are
pawned."'---" Pawned! what do you mean?"—
" Why the clothes of the last sentry. He has not a
coat to his back; and I told the fellow he would be
flogged as sure as he was born !"
The following is recommended as a simple and
easy method of obtaining water in almost any situ-
ation :—" The ground is perforated by a borer. In
the perforation is placed a wooden pipe, which is
driven down with a mallet, after which the boring
is continued, that the pipe may be driven still far-
ther. In proportion as the cavity of the borer be.,
comes loaded, it is drawn up and emptied, and, in
time, by the addition of new portions of wooden
pipe, the boring is carried toany depth, and water
is generally obtained.
The Vestrymen of the parish of St. James, West-
minster, greatly to their honour, held a meeting on
Monday last, for the sole purpose of examining into
the conduct of Andrew Pollock, one of the watch-
men of that parish, towards Dorant Lovell, other-
wise George Mango, a black man, who was found
dead, ono morning last week, at the corner of Noel-
street, in Wardour-street (an account of which ap-
peared in this paper on Monday last), and it ap.
pearing on such examination, that Pollock had :VW
with great inhumanity, and in direct contradiction
to the special rules and orders made by the Vestry
of the said parish, for the regulation cf their nightly
watch, by permitting the deceased to lie in • the
street exposed to the inclemency of the weather,
they dismissed him from his employment, 'and or-
dered their Clerk to investigate the matter further,
with a view to prosecuting Pollock and any other
persons concerned in the said inhuman transaction.
On Sunday last died, aged about in the pa.
rish of Prees, in the county of Salop, a very siN.,u-
lar charafter, of the name of Booth. He was by
trade a cobler; had existed (for he could hardly Le
said to have lived, having deprived himself of corr.
mon necessaries) upwards of twenty Years in a mi-
serable hut, the roof of which had fallen in s irne
• time ago. lie was ahout six feet two or three
inches ; very pale and meagre, his voice weak
and faisiiiine, and had no beard either on his lip or
chin. • In .an old box in his possession there were
found upwards of thirty love-letters and valentines,
which he had received troth different females in the,
neighbourhood ; and atay money andVo,nl,s eat

.OF FRANCE,
ow THE MLA ttIITS ADAPTED TO UENDIII. IT

COMMERCIAL COUNTRV.
Deluxe the long and bloody contest, produced
by the late revolutionary struggle, France experi-
enced a variety of privations, and made many and
important sacrifices. But notwithstanding the mo-
narchy was overturned, and the dominant religion
subverted, she at length towered above all her do-
mestic misfortunes, and, although repeatedly van-
quished by Britain on the seas, appeared more than
a match at land for combined Europe. She was
indebted for this to the enthusiasm arising out of her
original cause; to the extent and fertility of her ter-
ritories, and, above all,. to an immense population,
combined with the military genius of her inhabit-
ants.
At the peace she sacrificed nothing, ,and acquired
every thing. The multitudes dinuniehed by the
sword were doubled by the accession of new terri-
tories, while the n .:l ated republics might he consi-
dered as so many neighbouring provinces, which
maintained themselves at their own experxe, and
for her benefit. Exemption from tithes, the aboli-
tion of the feudal incidents, and the annihilation of
the rorvies, have all tended to reise a middle class,
in the interior, which never before eiisted. The
cetainity of hind in cultivation also is obviously in-
ereased, ai:d she has arisen out of her ashes infi-
nitely more powerful than before.
But it is ci.ietly ae a commercial and manufec-
taringg country that Republic-an France (if she may
be still termed so) is tormidable to Great Britain.
With the ocean en one side, the Mediterranean on
another, and the Canal of Languedoc forming a
jitnnion between both, with a wonderful variety of
s 'i and climate, a vintage unequalled by any neigh-
bouring nation., and a sprightly and enterprising
people, resources present themselves. on all sides.
it her late conquests, the line of sea-coast, formerly
less extensive than that of the British Empire, is
greatly increased, and thus the nursery for her
navy augmented. Such also have been her suc-
ceoies, that she must be considered, in respest to
duties, as a favoured nat:on by most of the SrAtti of
Europe.
Nor .I.ns Bonaparte neglect to take :ulvantage of
events. The restoration of the Catholic faith is at-
tended not only with political but commercial ad-
eanteges, and will serve as a perennial source of
encouragement to the fisheries. The war carried on
in St. Doitiago is nieintaitied solely for the purpose
of increasing the trade of Ohl France, and supply-
ing the continental states of Europe, as well as her
own inhabitants, with the productions of her colo-
nies. Recent services afforded to the OTTOMAN
"'taxis, have opened the Black See to the merchants
of Marseilles in the. South; on the North, Rouen,
situate on the Seine, and the ancient capital of Nor-
mandy, has lately received new •privileges, end will
snore become the emporium of the traffic of the An-
tilles.
Regnlations haveat the same time been made,

has been rendered a staple oa the side Of Germany,
and at the representation of the merchants of iNente,
the reds of the Rhine are to be diminished.

pi:tired of hardships experienced is respeel to the
eepc:taion cir her own produce, at a time that the
retstriCtions of on: Navigation Aa have beer ze, eady

But the lahours of the present. Gevernment, have
esbt been cinnined to Europe. Although to recently
foiled in Eva pt, where hopes were entertained of
heaping the aouleie harvests produced by the Nile,
aed enraged this.mornent in a despeorie strug-
gle it'h men formerly slaves lex the possession of
St. Domingo, the Coesee has fixed his e:e on an
interesting perion of the new world, and seems pre-
pared to create an Empire on the beaks of the /die-
This however, perhare, is no new sacrifice on the
part of Spain. When he had lost Navarre, Gui-
pneena, and Biscay ; when he beheld a victorious
army within one hundred and thirty miles of Ma-
drid, Charles IV. although severely censured at the
time, listened to the voice of interest and of policy.
The price of his safety was an alliance, offensive
and defensive, and the immediate cession of the
Spanish portion of iiiepairiola. The terms up-
peered to be liberal, and the moderation of the Re-
public towards a Monarch, received due praise.
But it has since become probable, that other sacri-
fices were made, to pmpitiate the aspiring Comnien-
wealth, and there is reason to believe, that I esuis-
lima, and perhaps the Floridas also, were promised
as the pledge of safety to one, and of peace to
both.
That France has acquired a title to the former of
these, there can he no manner of doubt r and al-
though the armament destined to take possession of
it, under General ‘'icroe, may be suspended, in
consequence of the disasters of (leiter:ll Lecereic,
et it will be speedily transferred to the Consular
Government. Books have been lately pubiidied in
Paris, eroling the benefits to be derived from the
Clew Oakey ; the opinions ef M. DE Wiwi. erne
pn this subjea have hen Timed, and his celebrated
Memorial' reprinted. Plans hove been also en•
graved, estimates have been made out, aad Holland
is entrusted with the commercial part of the expe-
dition, and a number of adventurers, of both sexes,
are ready to proceed thither, in search of .new ha-
bitations.
'llse President of the United States has already
expressed his alarm, at a project equally novel and
important, :and it will be endeavoured )hereafter to
point out the dangers likely to result from this un-
dereeeing, both to England and America.
