AIOLITION or ItEVILIMPONS.

Mr. BAULKS rase in pursuance of his notice, and
said lie was still anxious to carry lute etlec) an
object of considerable importance, upon w hich the
House of Crounions had already decided favour-
ably ; he meant the abolition of that practice
which bud too long prevailed, of grinding sala-
ries and emoluments in reversion. 'flu was
an object which might be deemed ut all tunes im-
portaut, but more especially at the present period.
He deemed it to be useful for the purpose 1•1
stcengthe g and iurigoruting the prerogative of
the Crown, by preventing an undue participation in
the emoluments of offices, by persons who had ren-
dered no service to entitle them to such lucrative
situations. At all event*, it had been thought tit
by the Committee of Finance, as well as by the
House itself, that some of there offices IMU4a to be
abolished, and others subjected to retrenchment.
He did not at all depart from his former opinion,
and, he trumed, the (louse remained still of the
same mind upon this subject, although the measure
of abolition haul been again rejected by the House
of Lords. Ile was yet willing to effect the most
reciieable good he could, although not able
t 3 do all he should wish. He was sure the
Houee had had no cause to depart from the
opinion they formerly entertained. and therefore
he wished to submit to them the propriety of
vet endeavouring to carry into effect the views
of the financial Committee, by agreeing to
limit the operation of the Bill for the desired abo-
lition of Bet rrsions, so ns to give to that Comiuithr.
to examine and report more fully upon the state of
such offices as have bete Oftwelly granted in rever-
sion, and suggest such nlterations as they might
deem necessary.. A Committee hod been appoint-

eel to inspect .the Lords' Journals, and tlit:y had
found that a 'limitation in point of time had been
already suggested in the other House, for the pur-
pose, as might be supposed, of giving that Com-
mittee a similar opportunity. It would, however,
be an inclination the most adverse from his
mind, to be instrumental in bringing into
discaissMa any difference of opinion eNisting
between the two branches of the Lei:islature;
as nothing could be more desirable than a to-
operntive principle between them i.t times of
difficulty and distress. lie should wish to bring in
a Bill to effect the abolition for a limited time,
hoping that circumstances might arise, which would
diminish or take away prejudice (if any such had
been created) so as to make it more likely fur the
other House to moan in a regulation so beneficial
to the public, and so connected with .getieral cm-
norny. It would also in a certain degree tend to
diminish what was so desirable, the influence of the.
Crown; for he could nevcr think that offices were
instituted for any other purpose thou for the public
service, mid not solely for the herictit of die 11o:siert,
especially when they had through time become
perfect a:nes-ores. Notwithstanding this it would

" Juuot tuarclied from Lisbon with all the troops
he could collect, and formed a junction nit it La-

engagement with the English. During the night
he pushed forward his artallery,and posted his troops

of the English army.
" At unie o'clock in the morning of the 21it. he
attacked the centre and right of the British position,
endeavouring at the same time to turn their kit.
His first onset was very vigorous; but the firmness
of the British line was not to be shaken, and it re-
sided in a manner which exceeds ail praise. The
victory was not for a moment doubtful. The Lug-
lish continued to advance, until they drove Use
French from all their positions.
" The Goth regiment, Chassenrs, awl Royal
Scotch, did wonders. The brigat:e of Purtugm,e
infantry attached to the left wing conductcd them—
selves with great spirit ; but what principally 44
cidect the action was the superiority of the English
dving artillery. They had twelve pounders mount-

destroyed every thing before them. Juntat took
his station on an eminence, where he observed the
progress of the battle, and issued his ander& lie

CODE OF AGRICVLTVRE.

The greatobjectof all the inquiries carried on
by the Board of Agriculture, is with a view of
combining the result of the whole into one w-
'lend rode, for the purpose of rendering a general
knowkdge of the principles of husbandry more
ea,ibly accessible. The importance of such an un-
dertaking need hardly be dwelt upon, not only in
regard to agriculture, but also as furnishing an ex-
ample of the practicability of condensing huiniin
knowledge, reputing other branches of art and
science. Such a work could net he drawn up, until
foundation was laid, by a currful examination of
the agricultural practices of every district iu the
kingdom. As soon as that work L accomplished,
the code of agriculture will be carried on with
energy ; a speciineu of which ham-been printed and
circulated by the Board, on tar subject of inclo-
sures. It is proir.used, whyipthe work is under-
taken, to give distinct headt er chapters to tho e
individuals who ire the Mist toriversaut in each
departmentof husbantlq. This great undeit.fitiog
will, I toast, be surictions4 by the peculiar appro-
bation; bath of the Lriiisiature, and of the Go-
vernment of the couutry, as likuly to promote, in a
high degree, the must important national improve-
ments,

iMIPORTA\CE OF AORICULTUR4L PVRSVITS.
No country, 'eau have stronger inducements to
attend to its agricultural interests, than Great Bri-
tain, at the present moment. Secluded from so
large a propertion of the globe, and its commerce
crampt in eveoy direction, it must in a great mea-
sure rely on its own internal resourees for its 82.
curity and strength.. Fortunately, in these re-
sources, it has a mine of wealth which cannot be
exhausted., We have only to pay the &mei:nary
attention to the improvement of our own soil, and
we may despise the efforts of our enemies, however
nurilersitis or powerful. We are told. indeed,
that frOin the state of our foreign relations, and
the consequent probe hility that our usual supply of
grain from foreign countrie..• may fail us, that mea-
sures of precaution are necessary, which may even-
tually ward ott' so great an evil as a scarcity of pro-
visions." But the best precaution is, to extend our
agriculture, to increase the productions of our soil,
to ameliorate the mode of its cultivation, and to
remove every obstacle hostile to its improvement.
By these means, judiciously applied, instead of im-
porting from
'au
couotnes, we might soon
again become au exporting country ; and the com-
merce of grain, instead of being the means of ins-
poverishtuent, would become a source of wealth.
