DUBLIN- POLICE.

Sir A AT*HR WEi.LESI.RT rose. in pursuance of his
notice, to move for leave to bring in a Bill, to alter
atidiunend the Acta establishing the votive of the city.
of Dublin. lie said there was no city in the world
that more required a regular and well-ordered po-
hee to be kept up than Dublin, as there hid born
of late a f,reater number of robberies and thefts
committed' in and about that city, than bad ever
occurred in any part of His Majesty's dominions,
This was well known to every one in office in Ire-
land to be the subject of general complaint. In-
deed the necessity of amending the system had been
bug thought necessary, and a Bill for that purpose
had been suggested two or three years ago. One
complaiat was, that there was not a sufficient ran-
cher of Magistrates appointed to' carry that sys-
tem into execution, and, consequently, not
an adequate number of other indiviiluels appointed
by them to attend to it. Another defect in the Act
was, that the superintendence of the Magistrates,
and those who carried the system into execution,
was entirely independent of Government, so that
they were net rendered responsible to any one for
what they did. It was impossible for any one con-
nected with Government to interfere. Robberies
rod murders were committed without any other
possibility of detection or prevention, than by the
Magistrate, or those be choose to employ, knowing
the persons, or particular gangs of the delinquents.
These were evils which he conceived were highly
objectionable, and ought no longer to exist. What he
therefore should propose was " to extend the Police
eight miles round Dublin, by establishing patroles
of horse and foot constables, iu the same manner
as was done round this city of London." This
district of eight miles he should divide into six
and to each division appoint three Magis-
trates, an Alderman, a Common Coun.ilssan. and
a Barrister, all accountable to the 4.ord Lieute-
nant of the county." There were the IZsdiug fea-
tures of what he t.hould suggest as proper alters-
tMes, the otherparticulars would be more fully de-
serted spew the -ossewsittal of ./le then
moved. " That the several Acts be entered as read,"
which being done, he moved "Tor leave to brine
in • Bill, for the more effectual admintstration of
justice by Justices of the I'eace slid others, and
the prevention of felonies within the liberties of the
city of Dublin."
Mr. SHAW said, he did not know that any thing
of this+ kiud was to be brought forward this slay.
till he hail seen it stated in the newspaper. Ile
should propose that no debate should take plans
-upon the measure until the Bill be printed.
Mr. GRATTAN understood that there had been
eighteen new appointment& iu the hands of Govern-
ment, but he did not wean to say, that some addi-
tional regulations, as to the police of Dublin, were
not necessary, although he apprehended that that
city was in a more quiet state than what was repre-
seated by the Right Hotionraible Gentleman.
Sir ARTHUR IV RLILRILRY added, that he had

com;:rsed with several persons upon the subject,
Mill had acted linen their informati 1111 l they being
persons who hail various opportunities of consider-
ing the state of the city of Dublin. lie was not
convinced of the general quiet of that city; but if it
were ►n, it was owing to its being guarded mere by
s military .ystem that' a regular polite ; but he was
certain, the; t►c riat9l.l2lo{ltrilgel that were clan-

matted about the city, were truly subjects of cola-
Sir Joss Newport was perfectly aware of the
necessity of bringing forward some measure to re-
gulate the present system of police. It hail been the
munition of the late Government to do so. The
whole of the city of Dublin 'being within the pre-
cincts stated in the charter, he thought it would be
better not entirely to infnage upon dust charter,
but to allow part of the Magistrate* to be appointed
tiy the Corporatism of the City. and part by Go-
vernment. The appoiubuent of them beiug solely
vested in the Crown, would tend to create au im-
proper ilegre, of patronage its the Bar, by reu-
debug the gentlemen of the legal profealion totally
subservient to toy existing Minister* of the country;
Upon this ground he could not approve of the eye-
tem propostsi,• as it tended so much to create that
patronage he complained of. lie would mutt
nether see the police of the City of Dsiblin regu-
lated by a cvil flower them by a militawy power :
and such were the principles which swttiated the
former Government. lle wished that Dublin
should not be put iato that situation which iu Lon-
don we would shuddeeat beholding.

The CiIIAnCILLLOR of the EXCHE"QUER said, that
the Magistracy here acted under the controut of
the Crown, and that there was no intention of
abridging the privileges of the Corporation of the
City of Dublin.
Leave being then igiven to brius in the Bill,
it was accordingly brought up and read a Unit
time.

Upon the appointments of the second reeling.
Mr. SHAW expresied his wish' that it shoitol be
postponed for a few weeks, in order to give his con-
stituents an opportunity of considering the ob-
jection* to which it was liable.
Mr. Foslira thought that Monday next ought to
be fixed, and that it should be
.printed and com-
mitted, pro forma, oo that his constituents might
mote fully understand it. .
Mr. BERESPORD thought that three weeks ought
new Cube allowed, in order to enable the citizens
of Dublin to understand it.

Sir Joni; Newel/ire-thought there could he no
objection to going into a Committee, and filling
up the blanks, so as to make the Bill more intelli-
gible, and to let it rest upon its own merits.
Mr. BERKIWORD thought it was an infringement
of the charter of the city of Dublin, and;therefore,
he should wish the Bill to be printed se is now
stood, and sent over to Ireland, before it went
through any other stages.
After some further conversation, the Bill was or-
dered to be read a secood.time on Monday, and to
be printed. •
On the motion of the CIaANCILLOS of the P.x.-
cutQuEn, the House resolved itself into a Coin-
miner for the further hearing of Counsel 'on the
Petitions against the Orders in Council, when the
following Witnesses were examined :
Mr. (ilennie, of London, whose testimony went
to chew the injury sustained by hiin in the inter-
ruption of hia trade pith America.
Mr. Henry Hinkley, Agent to the American
Navy Board, proved be would suffer a total loss in
his trade.

Mr. James Cropper, corn trader, proved, that the
interruption of the importation of corn into this
country, would injure Ins business.
Messrs. Martin, Rathhoiss. Oxley, Palmer,
Kinder, end Thomas Mullet, /fere also examined.
• The further hearing of Counsel on the Petitions
was then fired for to-morrow ; and the Bosse ad-
journed at One o'Clock.

brings the intelligence, that Prussia has declared
ar against Sweden.
The Prometheus sloop of war has sent into port
a Danish brig, which she fell hi with in cruising otf

'l' he Vanguard, of 73 guns, and the Quebec fri-

pected that the Stately and Nassan. of ti 3 4uns

exertions are making for that purpose. The (io-
vernor of Cottenburgli offered to supply one thou-
sand men to cut away the ice, winch is very thick
and strong ; these ships, it is said, will proceed to
the Sound.
The King of Sweden has issued a proclamation,
forbidding all intercourse with Russia.

THE BRITISH PRESS.

Great expectation ions e icited, yesterday, by the
ar.ival of His MAJeSTY in town, in consequence
of the understanding, that the sentence of the
Court Martial upon Lieutertant.General Wurez-
LOCKE would be laid before His NIAJESTY. At
half past three o'clock, the Hon. Mr. HYPER,
the Judge-Advocate, arrived at the Palace, car-
rying with him a large blue bag, containing an
abstract of the proceedings on the trial, and the
sentence. In about an hour after he was admitted
to an audience of the KING, with whom he re-
mained in private conversation nearly an hour and
a half. On his departure, he returned to the Duke
of Youe'► Office in the Horse Guards, where he
deposited the bag and its contents: He had visited
his :loyal highness in the course of the day,
littlire he •aited upon His NlAJarry. From the
Duke of Vogues Office, Mr. Itenea proceeded to
Dnvroilt;-street, where he dined with the CHAN.
EEL LON. Of the Excitr.laueit. A report prevailed that
the Sentence would be read publicly to General
Warm wens, this day, in open Court. at Chelsea.
Nothing of this sort is however likelyto take place,
but it is expected to be speedily announced in
General Orders at the War-Office. It was ru-
moured yesterday in the Ministerial circles, that
the Sentence is against. the General upon all the
charges but that which might affect his life, and
that lie is to be SEVERELY ccesuesis and CASH-
-IERVD. During the progress of' the trial, the
mind was disposed to think that the Sentence
svouldeake this middle course.

A Gottenburgh Muil arrived, yesterday, with
letters sad papers from that city to the ryds inst.--
We have also received Dutch Papery to the 18th.—
All the North of Europe is in arms against Sweden.
Russia, Prussia, and Denmark, have declared war
against her. Count BITIMIEVOEN, and uot Prince
BAGRATIIION, as stated in some of the Papers, is
the Commander-in-Chief of the Rasiian forces that

Lave entered Swedish Finland. He has published
*mother Proclamation to the Fins, in the true
French revolutiooary style. Among some of its
moat prominent exproi ions. it says to the Fins :

" Do nut allow providers to be sawed to take gross. or
to treat in s bustile wanner the troops that are consents% to
my order." . _ _

This, from an enemy who promises, in the same
proclamation, that Finland, if she submits, shall be
treated in the same manner as other conquered pro-
viiices of the Russian Empire, reminds us of that
sort of contest alluded to by the Roman satyrist,
in which one party inrikes, and the other bears
all the blows. We do not think so meanly of the
Swedes as to suppose that they will be seduced
from their allegiance by such a promise; and, on
the other hand, we fear that the combined force
against them greatly exceeds their strength and
spirit. At the date, however, of the latest ac-
counts, the Russians had little to boast. They
had obtained possession of Loins., Borges and Ab-
bonier* ; but the Swedish army still remained
coacentrated in the vicinity of the strong fortress of
Tewatsch us.

The French are said to have entered Holstein
on the sth instant, and same of them, it is added,
here crossed over into Zealand. The ice, however,
W `IS beginning to break up, and some of our men
of war. which had been locked up in it, have oh-
taiued their liberty.
The Dutch papers contain the Declaration of
Russia against Sweden. It asserts, that. by an ar-
ticle in the Treaty concluded in 1783, between
the Empress C•TUCEICE and (3FUSTAIIUS 111. aid
another in the Treaty of 1800, between the late
Emperor Pant. and the preaeut King of Sw E-
DE*, the contracting parties have stipulated
to maintain the principle, that THE BALTIC Is
• CLOSE se•, with the guarantee of its coasts
against all acts of liostibty, violence, or vexa-
tions whatever. These treaties. which constituted
the plan of the Northern Confederacies against
the maritime power of gugland, the Declaration
calls upon His Swett:sit MAJESTY to fulfill in
this particular; and the attack upon Copenhagen is

the cause assigned far calling the atipnlatidfts into
action, and requiring Sweden to join with Russia•
and Denmark in shutting that sea against England.
Sweden is also charge:l with partiality towariki this
country ; and the menace of Mr. CAmtutts to
occupy Zealand with' Swedish troops, and gita-
raatee Norway to Ms SIALDISIE MAJESTY, is
also revived as another head of charge against
him. This last circumstance was first disclosed in
a diplomatic cor:espotuielice between Mr. CAN-
st NG and Mr. Rtcsr, which we lately copied from
the Foreign Journals.

• Dispatches were received, yesterday, at the Ad-
miralty, from Lord COLLINGWOOD, which were
brought to P:ymouth by the Serinans sloop of
war. It appears that the English brig, stated in
the last French Paperato bare run a-ground on the
coast of Calabria. in an attempt to relieve the for-
tress of Scylla. was the Delight, Captaiu HAN..
FIELD. At the time of the accident, she was in the
act of defending five Sicilian gnu-boats, which were
on the point of falling into the hands of tile enemy.
The Delight, eihen a-ground, was fired on from the
shore, and most of her crew killed, when she was
taken pommies of by the French. Captain,U4l,-
ctlitse, of the Clow, who had rowed in his barge
to give assistante to the brig, wa, wounded and
taken prisoner,.but afterwards liberated on his pa-
role, and sent to Messina, where he died of his
wounds. Captain DUNN, of the Bittern, oLserv-
,ing the Delight crowded with Frefichmen, worked
up towards her, and having driven out the enemy,
set her on tire, mid destroyed her.
LOrIICOLLIMONOtoD was at Syracuse on the 9th
of February.

The Rochfort and Toulon squadron* may hare
joined, hut it has Loren ascertained, that so late
as the 15th of February, the Carthagena Squadron
was alone in the Bay of Patinas, in Majorca, in
which it had taken *better, and was left by the
Hydra frigate.
