lyrzrarot.vef: EXPI2.4ORDINARY

ss We have received % private letter from Lisbon,
which states, that the publication of the Proelat
instion, signed by Generals ficresford and Kel-
lerman, which is given in II subsequent (*tenni, has,
created the utmost discontent in the French array.
General Junot, in particiihr, was perfectly enraged
at the 'loss of his plunder, and has issued a formai
!_riitost against the interpretation which General
Kellerman has put upon the Convention. Ors the
other band, Kellerman contends, that the later-
pretation was ctrrect, nut says lie dill not intend
that the Pioclaniatiois should be published, us it
will ruin liha in the estimation of the French army."
The shove article appeared, verbatim, ill too
Evening Papers of yesterday, attached to the ser-
vice of Ministers. It was communicated to diem
from the same Government Office, and fur the
some purpose. Ministers are become al:wined, and
well they may, ut the public indignation excited

Convention, berionw with them ultimately the re- -
sponsibility rests. Plausible stories wili, of enurse, II
he invented, by ',depts is the art of public Mirror-
titre and delusion, and every possible MUMS will he
used to lessen or divert the force of that indie:
nation. We therefore caution the public iitrsinst
the above idle story. JIINOT has not, for the
sake of a few old eras rev and candrtgrn, guar-
reileil the General who rinupelierl the Ilri-
ti,h General (we should say the English 31inis-
ter) to recognize him Duke of Abruatfs, with

BOW-Vfitir.T.

.•Ott Timidity evening, James Middleo*, ;a
genteelly dressed. was brought before
Mr. Haan, charged with feloniously stealing two
fowls, the property of Mr. Batley, a pealteres., iu
Blacksuore-areet, Drury-lane. On the e
evelung, the Prisoner went to the Prosecutor's
shop, and agreed to give oii shillings and six-peace
for two fowls, and desired /hem to be sent to No.
512, Stanhope-atteet. Mr. B. sent them shortly
after with In. bar. When he reached the door of
No. gd., in Stanhope-street, he found the Prisoner
waiting for hint, who desired to have the fowls;
but the boy being instructed not to deliver them •
without the money, refused, until the Prisoner
gave hint a piece of paper, purporting to. be a 81.
note, to go and get change ; Mr. Batley, without
heving'examined the paper particularly, gave the
change; bet thinking the conduct of the Prisoner
to be very strange, he followed the boy, out of curio-
sity, and on seeing the Prisoner still iu the street,
wastingto take the change, he was convinced some-
thing was wrong, and was making up to him. The
Prisoner immediately ran °al- mud threw away the
fowls. Mr. B. pursued him, and,he was knocked
down, and taken in White-hart-yard. On examine
ing the note which he had given change for, it
proved to be a fictitious promissory` note for two-
( pence, engraved similar to the country bank
I notes.

Mr. Eastey, of the hotel in Southampton-street,
having, been robbed in a similar way, attended
with his porter, and identified the Prisoner u hav-
ing obtained two bottles of wine. and change for a
similar piece of paper ; he pretended skit he lived
at Mr. Godfrey's, the chyme, in the lame street.
Mrs. Eden, the pastry-cook, of Russel-street, at-
tended. and identified the Prisoner to have de.
frauded her in a similar way.
Mr. Lyne. a confectioner. of Old Bend-street,
has been defrauded of confectionery to the amount
of three shillings and six-pence, and change,.
amounting to If. 16s. 6d. for a similar piece of
paper ; but he was not present to hiciaify the pri-
*wrier, who was committed for further eutninabou.
Early yesterday morning, Adkins and Lavender,

On Tuesday evening, betweea six •and seven
o'clock, a most dreadful and alarming fire broke
out in the flour-mill, nt Sturry, lately erected by
Mr. SAUPSOn KIIffiSPORD. owing to the friction
of one of the wheels on the fourth story. It was so
instantaneous, that when distvvered by a penou in
the mill, the premises were immediately filled with
smoke, and the rapidity of the lames so great, as to
defy all exertion ; and in less than three hours, the
building was completely destroyed, leaving only
the brick-work and the principal caster wheel.
other part of the machinery was pnscrved from in-
jury ; even the horimatal spa:wheel, which was of
cast iron, from the Intense heat, was broken asunder
in several places ; the other Mon wheels are consi-
derably damaged, and those which were composed
of wood, entirely consumed. A quantity of floor,
in reeks, was moved from the mill while the fire was
raging ; but a comparatively small part has been
prewrved. The scene was awfully grand !—the
conflagration illtiminating the country for a on,i-
deranle distance, and emitting large pa;tieles of
fire for nearly three-quarters of a mile. Fortu-
nately the wind was S.E. so that no other buildings
were injured ; had it been on the contrary, the de-
struction oast inevitably have been much mere

ROBBERIES.

A few evenings since, between six and seven
o'clock, a poor woman was stopped in the car-
riage-road, Hyde Park, leading from Chesterfield-
gate to Grosvenor-gate. by a 'Midler, who drew a
knife upon her, robbed her of a few shillings,
and made his escape:
A few mornings since the house of Sir Martin
Foulkes, in Cavendish-square, was broken open,
and robbed of considerable property, besides eight
pheasants and six partridges.
Oa Saturday night, as Mr. John Wood. of Stan-
more, was travelling between Hampstead and
Hendon, he was stopped by _three footpads, who
robbed him of his cash, pocket-book, coat, and the '
silk handkerchief that was about Ills n-ek. After

SWEDEN

Earl Gm rose foitite—i;nrpose of putting a
question to the Noble Earl (Bathurst,) which,
fin the importance of its nature. and from the si.
matins that NohltkEarl held in His Majesty's Go-
vernment, he presumed he we. filly qualified to
answer. lt appeared by the Treaty, lately eon-
eluded between His Majesty and the kinK of
Sweden, that an engagement was entered into oa
the part of this country to pay a subsidy of
1,400.0001. anon dly, in Instalietratu of 100,0001.
per month. I'h,•re certainly did exist precious
treaties between the two countries, by which Great
Britain was hound to pay annually either 2 or
'300,0001. The object of his present question was,
to knew whether the amount of these precious en-
gsgemenb was included in the present Treaty ; and,
of course, that the whole of the amount to be paid
by this country, both on the late treaty and the
former ones, amounted to 1,200,00u1. annually?
Earl &THUM r could not take upon to
answer the question, on a subject so entirely nut of
his department. lie expected that in the interval

of a very Asset time, the appearance of some of iris
Noble Colleagues would enulale the Noble Earl
to put his question with 4.4(11.
Lord 31i: LOKAVS entered the House,at this mo-
meut, and expressed his opiaion, tb,st the prc.•eut
Treaty did not include the former arrangeme.its
by which this country was bound. .

- - -
Earl Gatv—... Then I understand it to be the
conception of the Noble Lord, who last spoke, that
this country is Dow under engagements to pay
either kl 4 or 1,500,000 a year to the Court of
Sweden."

ORDERS IN COUNCIL.

The Earl of LAUDIIRDALE, fret a wish t amid
any unnecessary discussion on his interacted motion
relative to the commercial policy of the Dialers of
Council, took the present opp:ntuAay of rutting
so,ue questions to the Noble Earl (I.luthiirst) l'r.-
sidetit of the Board of Track. If lie understoo.l
him correctly, ou a former occasion, he suppose!'
hiMto have said that the trading in the colonial
produce of the enemy. between the subjects of
America and the ports of Swollen, was.restrieted
by these Orders. He first %hilted to ascertaia
whether the iuterpretatiou be had gitea was the
foci.

Earl BATIVIST—.." The general o!kject of these
()Wass is to prevent the ha po:tittion ot the e.neniy's
colonist produce into the port, of the Continent
of Euroyq." _ - -

The kid of LArtiotttnAtt-01 Then that object
is defeated; because, by the Order of Coward,
hearing date the 46th of November, it is lawisii•
for an American to traffic with the Colonies of
France, and having made that produce his own,
by bringing it into the ports of the United Stater,
them he can re-embark it in British ships, wisith
convey it to a Swedish port. Therefore tile °per+.
tion of these Orders only tends to create a pettx
advantage in the favour of our own shipping in-
tere.t, sad in place of prevetitin; the importation
of the colonial produce of the enemy into Europe,
only dist -1-ews the u nodeurling oentrat."
Earl BATSUKIT answered, that .:s the object of
the Noble Earl's iuten led mstioa vot%, to point out
the impolicy and iinpropriety of these Orders in
Counkil, be consicicre.l the day of that discusaion
the proper penal fur ensv.ering the ohjection►.
Lord Autro.mio was notions to learn from the

N3bic Lora. why this distinetioa was made, that
the ss®e produce was permitted to be con►eyed
from America in British!Nottens to British ports.

from which, what was called the film trade between
the two countries, the Americium were restricted

of the situ.ifion iu winch be was then iplAceJ, he be-
ing the only one of His Majt.ty's immediate arr..
rants in the liumw.—(No! Ao! from the opp2site
benches.)
Lord.Girtnetm.a dischimed any such intention ;
but ob.:led, that the Noble F..irl, from the situa-
tion which he tilled, was suppoewd to be the most
qualified to afford the necessary information to
their Lordships.

111 RING BURGLARY.

Coutit-ss Moterott's house, in Park-strew, I.aq,
fu? several slays put, been surrounded by a set of
suspicions fellows, who generally met about dusk.
'rlie servant-maid entrusted with the care of the
house, having taken notice of them, gave infer-
Mation at Marlborough•street Office. According-
ly, last night, three Police Officers, well prepared
with arms, went to the house, and at eight o'clock
they sent the servant out; after which they secreted
themselves in a closet adjoining one of the rooms,
having provided themselves with a candle. Soon
after the departore of the servant, the kitchen bell
was rang several times, and not being answered,
the ringing was followed by hard knockiug at the
door. The thieves tbinkitig there was no person in
the house, broke the door open, and went. to the
room adjoining the closet, where the Officers hail
concealed theuvelves, when the latter rushed nut
upon the robbers, who were five in nuinl,cr.—A
battle immediately ensued, and in the scuffle the
candle was put out. One of the Officers had just
time to discharge his blunderbuss, and shot one pf
them in the left arm—the shot went through the
bone. Thus rudely assailed, the robbers attempt-
ed to make their escape through the back part of
the home, by jumping off the first floor leads into
Park-how ; in the attempt mic of them broke his
leg, and W 11.4 immediately secured. 'flue man that
had been shot ran down South-street, and turn-
ing down a Mews where there is 110 thorough-
fare, he was also taken—the other three escaped.
One of them must hate received a severe wound,
as the cutlass was covered with blood, and those
taken had not been touched by it. Tile two men
who havebeen taken, it alyears,are reputed house-

breakers. They were taken to Mount.strect wateh-
house. As soon as the man that had been shot was
brottzht in, he dropped down, and fainted from loss
of blood. Medical assistance was immediately pro-
cured. One of them is not expected to recover.
The whole neighbourhood was thrown into the
greatest consternation by this enterprise. Ludy
MARY BOULTBY, whe lives two or three d.,ara
fmm Countess MORTON'S, and who had her usual
evening party, was very much alarmed, as well as
her Ladyship's compun3.

cary. Others, perhaps, may enter at the post, but
are not yet Ililliltil. By their skill and vigilance

LONDON,
TUESDAY, NIAV 37.

Sir JOHN Neweoar last night moved in tl e
Howse of Cointnons, for leave to bring in a Bill for
a valuation of the First Fruits iu Ireland, for the
purpose, as originally intended, of applying the
produce to the augmentation of the poorer livings,
sad relieving the public from that expense. In a
eonstiustional paint of view this measure was unob-
jectionable. Its justice and (economy were self-
evident. The Minister, however, opposed it, and
substituting misrepresentation fin' argument, con-
tended, that this measure, which was only the re-
vival of a dormant right, and the opening of an old
obstructed-channel of revenue, was to lay a new tax
upon thtupper classes of the clergy. The. worthy
Baronet's measure was therefore rejected. But he
has reason to be proud of his usinority : the Minis-
ter earned a majority of 16.

Sr ARTHUR WELLEiLEY, last night, brought
in a Bill to enable the Irish Militia. to volunteer
into the Use. The citizens of London and Wesi.
spinster may, thrafoies expect own to sec a repe-
tition► of those scenes of debauchery that preceded
the exi.edition to the Helder, When the volunteers,
as they were called. from the Irish Militia, in the
delirium to which they were wrought up by crimps,
and Serjeasit liitesb lighted their pipes with Eng-
lish Bank-notes, the price of their extended see-
