House should adopt the Resolution of 1696, namely,
" That this House will not alter the standard
of gold or sil►er either in fineness, weight, or

vour of the original motion; and as several Mem-
bers seemed desirous to deliver their opinions, it
was finally deemed expedient to adjourn the debate
to this day.

Last night a diseassion took place in the House
of-Commons on the presenting • petition relative
to the repeal of the salt tax. Some were in favour
of • partial repeal, but by far the greater propor-
tion of the House were anxious to effect an entire
repeal •f that oppressive tax. The CHANCELLOR
of the EICHEQUAR stated, that Scotland should be
wholly exempt from the duty upon Scotch salt;
and in •rder that Ireland should at least suffer
nothing, if she gained no advantage by the .hero.
Lion, that the proposed duty of 2s. should be paid
in Irish currency.

Depoties from Moldavia and Wallachia, who arriv-

ed them for their residence ; they are suffered to
want for nothing, and the Porte treats them with
all possible attention. They have already had
several conferences with the Reis Effendi and with
Hebb Effendi, and it seems that two of them
will be appointed Princes.
" The hopes of peace increase. The Govern-
ment had promised in an official note, that the prin-
cipalities should be evacuated by the sth of May.
All at once it changed its tone. It is affirmed that

The trade of Odessa is not in • favourable state
at this moment ; business nearly stands still. The
commercial intercourse with Turkey is wholly
suspended. Since the beginning of March no ship
from Constantinople has approached the harbour of

Egeau Seas is very unsafe on account of the Greek
privateer,.
[According to the latest accounts a great change
has taken place, and the suspended commercial in.
tercourse is renewed.]

The DeWitt Papers •bound with details of the
distress in Ireland. The diffusion of this distress,
in spite of the exertions made to check it, suffi-
ciently proves that the original staieniersts wive

not exaggerated, end mast make those who wimps-
thise with their unfortunate fellow subjects rejoice
►n their prompt and early compliance with the call
of humanity. Thousands have been already saved
from. tniserable death, but the growth and spiced
of the evil ►equire increased and continued ever-
tions. A hope is entertained that before Parlia-
ment rises another grant will be proposed for Ire.
land. In the beginning of the Session it was pro-
posed to lend • .mullion of money to the landlords
fee the relief of agriculture. Was not that an in-
terference with the price of cora and the food of the
people? How then can Ministers consistently re.
fu.e to grant hslf a million for the relief of Ireland,
on the ground of its being • departure from the

the principle be excusable under any circumstances,
we cannot conceive any more potent thnn :he re-

Monday the venerable Earl of ST. VINCENT

feeble in bodily strength, undertook the journey for
the sole purpose of giving in aid his last effort for
the Catholic cause, it strongly Marks the interest
he takes upon it. Nay so much dors he feel, that
