the table.

Mr. CALCRAFT rose to answer a guidon put
to hint ►esterday by an H. Gentleman opposite,
(Mr Jobbstone) keitpettiug Ordnance Expentes
relating to the Island of Ceylon. A supply of
gun-powder had been sent to that place in a ►ery
considerable quantity, at the express requisition ot
the Go►ernor, supported by the Commanding Ar-
, tales y Officer of that place ; who reported, that the
gun-powder there was bad and scarce ; and not
only an immediate, but an annual sopply, was sent
from Woolwich. Howe►er, the Board of Ordnance
had since inquired, and it was supposed gun-pow-
der must be cheaper in India, and the necessary
regulations were accordingly made. With resped
to the other expmditures, he was not as yet able to
gi►e an answer, but should be happy at all times,
as far as he was concerned with that department, to
gi►e every satisfaction in his power, respecting ex-
penditures : 10001. it appeared, had been expended
for pickers and turn-screws, when formerly the ex-
pence, upon that head, amounted to 2700 i. In
fa& there was, at present, 90001 worth of these
articles unexpended ; and, in the court • of the next
year, they should be more than ah:e t i meet th t
expenditure. More than 70001. w mh were Annually
taken for the ser►ice of helix ; this, to he sure,
was proportionably tar too mush, and th r-sore, an
inquiry should he made relati►e to that suojfa.

Mr. JOHNS lONE expressed himspb much
obliged by, and pertenly %rie.fi d weth. Ole explana-
tion of the Right Hon. G..-ni4mait. H cer ainly
could not help entertaining an opineon, rut 3000
barrels of gun-pnwder was an tAtrAordinary ye:sil-
lily to send to India, particeila ly when it was le
colleamd, that the gre :ter part of t .e ma eri els
for making it, came from that country, and as in
this. it exceeded six the c u ts. The Gov:rnar
of Ceylon fp cerulean not exercised the rules of
economy, as tie badness of the powder must have
arisen Rosa keeping it too long in store. With
teepee to Ireland, there &taut haws been some negli-
gence in the Ordnance Department of that milt, y.
They shoul I not have returned on hands more than
was necessary.

Mr. CAI :CRAFT replied, that if blAnts was
to be attached to any p.sity, it wa. to the Ordnance
here, as they • bad the controlling power in their
own hands.

Mr. WALPOLE gave notice, that he wouhl. nn
Monday next, move to enlarge the time for recogni.
sauces being entered into. upon the Derry Election
Petition.

Mr. ADAM, pursua-1 to notice, moved "That the
order for taking into con,ideration the EleSion Pe-
tition (or the Court!), of Aberdeen, should be en-
larged from the 22i of January, for which day it
hal been fixed, until Thursday, the 26th day of
March next."
Mr. DUNDAS, and another Member, whose
mane we could nlt learn, fonowing the precedent
laid down a few nights ap,o, upon the Thetford Pe-
tition, thought the tion. Memher should state some
special ieason fir. postponing the consideration of
that Petition.

Mr. ADAM answered, that he thought the very
nun, of the County would have been quite sufficient
reason far postponing it. It was one of the moat
Northein Counties of Scotland, in sn porticolar a
situation, that it w, impoF,;,•lr to up evidence
by s..# c.u:•• a p.rund a; that for wittca it n uv stond.
'1 hi; was therc:oic that stilt of cos:, ti, winch the
!louse always extended that sort (if indulgence.
Atter a few words more from Mr. DUNDAS,
the Motion was agreed to.
The House went into a Committee upon the An-
nual Indemnity Bill, and the Exchequer Bills Bill,
the Amendments were severally read and agreed to,
and the Reports ordered to be received to-morrow.
Mr. WOOLMORE wok that opportunity of
asking the Right Hon. Secretary (Mr. \Wind-
ham), the reason why Colonel, now Gen. Osborne's
name. was not mentioned in the Vote of Thanks of
that House, to General Stewart, and the other Of-
kers, Scc at the battle of Maida.

Mr. WINDHAM answered, that in that resota
the vote of thanks. upon that occasion, was arrieid as
far as any precedent would allow. It was usaal
am to mention any person's name. especially under
the rank of Major-Genital ; and, therefore. did
not extend to that gallant Officer. He assured the
Hon. Gentleman, that that Officer had as much
credit for his bravery upon that occasion as any
other Officer; but, in point of form. General Os-
borne was not at that time a Brigadier-General, wily
Colonel Osborne. He. therefore, could not have
been iatentionally negletted, as the case never was
carried so far.

Mr. WOOLMORF. declared himself perfectly
satisfied with this eaplanation.
Mr. WINGFIELD presented a Petition on be-
half of the Petitioners upon the Penrhyn Election
Petition, praying to enlarge the time for entering
into recognisance. He stated, that recognizances
having been entered into upon this Petition, io the
country, three days previous to its being presentedto
the House, and there being no provision in the At
for such a circumstance, it became necessary to enter
into fresh recognizances ; and, therefore, he sought
to obtain rinse for that purpose.
Mr. SWANN ohjetted to the Motion, upon the
grounds, that in their anxiety to present their Peti-
tion, they had aced illzgally, and were not entitled
to any indulgence from that House ; besides, the
notices were kept back from the' Sitting Members
until the last moment. The two persons who en-
tered into this recognizance were labouring men, one
of whom voted for himself.
After some further conversation between Mr.
PERCEV AL, Mr. SWANN, and Mr. WING-
FIELD, the Petition was brought up, and the time
for entering into the usual recognizance, enlarged
until Monday, the 19th instant.
Cron Motion of Mr. VANSIrTART, the Re-
solutions cf the lst instant, relative to referring the
Malt Duty Bill to the Committee of Ways and
Wars, was read.
Mr. YAWL ITART then stated, that under-
st aiding, from some circumstances which were not
necessary for him to enter into, that the Bill in ques-
tion was t'.rnwn cut of the Lords, he moved the
for leave to bring in a Bill according to the
said Reso?otiuns.

Irate :was granted, accordingly. and the other
orders of the day being then dispitad of, the House

.THE BRITISH PRESS.

LONDON,
SATURDAY, JANUARY 10.

An American vessel is arrived at Falmouth from
Rochfort, in seven days. She sailed from Rochfort
on the 30th of December ; a report was then in
circulation there, that the Russians had experienced
a severe defeat en the other side of the Vistula.—
this report is just as little entitled to credit as most
of the other reports brought by American ships.—
We have accounts of as late a date from liansburgh
and Altona as the day on which the American
sailed—yet no such irtelligence had reached either
of those places, which are so much nearer the scene
of anion. Five sail of the line, one a three-decker,
and two frigates, are s lid to be ready fur sea at
Rochfort, with troops co board.

The Cru,'.rer gun-brig has captured a French log-
ger privateer of 18 guns, and carried her into Yar-
mouth. The prize was taken after a chest of six
hours, during which she threw two of her guns
overboard. Her name is LJ Jena, after the cele-
brated battle of the 14th of 02o!ver, from Dunkirk,
a complete new vessel, only I l days cif the stocks.
She Is id been out only scv,a drys, in which time
she had made the following captures :—Neptu.re, of
Sunderland, R. G3AN AM, Master ; Bee, of Yar-
mouth, Marx's. from Dantaic to London, with
wheat; and ere Fdirdy, of Kirkaldy, Tiros. PAR-
KINSON, from Psilau, bound to Hull, with yarn. on
Friday and Saturday last, off the Spurn, and sent
them for the Texel. Three of the Masters of these
vessels were prisoners on hoard L 4 geld. Her
Captain, M. Ilnar 1., states, that seven sail of the
line are nearly finished at Antwerp ; that one fri-
gate and a corvette are ready for sea at 'Dunkirk,
and several frigates and slunps in a state of great
forwardness. A carious case of desertion occurred
on kcard the Trailer, while at anchor off Flushing.
A Swedish seaman, who had been impressed out of
a smuggling cutter, contrived to possess himself of
one of Datrier.s' Life Preservers, the property of
the Boatswain, and though at a (considerable dis-
tance from the land, committed himself to the
waves, through which it is supposed, with the as-
sistance of this device, he made his way to shore in
safety.

We announced, yesterday, that an Order bad been
issued to His MAJESTY'S ships of war and priva-
teers, to detain and bring in all ships and vessels
belonging to neutrals trading firm one port of
France to another, or any port under the controul
of the French Government, where British vessels
arc not permitted to trade. The Order will appear
in Toe Gazeete of this evening ; and, we have au•
THORITT to state, that the following is a corral
outline of it :

" No neutral tenets will be permitted to trade from any
pert under the controul, or in the ponakeion of, the enemy
Tue neutral trade direr/ from neutral nations to the enemy's
porn, is still permitted i but the neutral trade, from port
to port, ie prohibited."

The coasting trade and .the carrying are thus
entirely cut off, so far as respeas France and the
countries nutter her influence and controul. They
may rec-ive the produce of neutral countries, dime,
in neutral ships ; but they cannot export their own
direelly, or indireilly, to neutral countries, nor
to each other and the only powers of Europe with
which neutral trade remains free and oaaffeaed by
the Order, aro the British Islcs, Russia, Sweden,
Denmark, Portugal, Sicily, and Turkey. Austria
has one or two Ports in the Mediterranean, but they
are is a state of blockade. The effect of this mea-
sure must be, as we stated yesterday, to extinguish
every spark of mercantile spirit and speculation in
the countries upon which it operates. Their whole
export and carrying trade being thus swept away,
no incentive to industry or commerce remains, but
internal consumption ; and even that, the frantic
ambition of Box AAAAA s, which Inflit!s every
thing to its gratification, is daily reducing. Had
he the means of spreading the produce and menu-
hearts of France, all over the Continent, where is
he to find purchasers ? The plundered and op-
pressed people of Hulland, Prussia, Poland, Sunny,
ace. have neither money nor property to give in
exchange. And even though these nations of the
Continent had remained in their original state of
prosperity, their consumption of the produce and
manufailures of France would bear a very small
proportion to that of the other three quarters of
the Globe, from which they are now interdiEted,
by this vigorous measure of the British Govern-
ment.

We announced, on Wednesday, that the writers,
hostile to the present Administration, would not
fail to reptesent Mr. Will Til •D'S speech, on Mon-
day, as a declaration of war againit the Minister.—
We gave this junto full credit for falsehood and p'e-
varication ; but we gteatly under-rated the excess in
bath, of which they have proved themselves ova-

What symptoms and signs of rotten's'', in tit.
Government can be discovered in the conded
of men, who neither do, nor ever did, form a
p.trt of it, minds of the ordinary stamp are un-
able to discover. For symptoms of rottenness in
a body, a vulgar mind would look into the L
itself ; but it was reserved for these sagacious A.
totuists to seek and d:sctiver them in some extra.
neous and totally distinct substance. Oh, bet
then Mr. MANLY and Mr. SMEIIDAN ate Mrs.
hers of the Administration, and their silence on tat
night of the Address is a volume of evidence, that tl.!
fabric to which they belong is rotten, and ready to
tumble to pieces. We have really seldom met so ewe: -
mining and dextrous a disputant. The speeches

of Mr. &Mail:IAN and Mr.Tisaniv—the ivu a:.,1
the ekes all leod, in his opinior., to ono and the i:17:.;
inevitable and obvious inference. All these discords:
and contrarient premises conspire to prove, that .;:e
Administration is ready to tumble to pieces, and that
nothing but the Herculean thoulciers of Mew-.
Peactvat, C•simino, and Co. can support the
tottering pile. Had Mr. Warrentan persiste.!
in his amendment, and had Lord Howica
hard pressed in debate, while Mr. Sara, OAN and
Mr. Tinaarr sat silent, and with-held their aid,
their silence would indeed be a proof of their was:
of seal in the cause. But it would have been
waste of powder and shot to have interfered, wLe:e
the single arm of Viscoent HOWICIL was competes.:
to put his puny antagonists to Sight. 'leis, hot:.
ever, is not the rust time this sagacious writer has
discovered rottenness and disunion in the Ministry,
and laboured most diligently in his calling, to ac-
complish his own prediaioa. With hollow and peril-
dious professions of friendship for Mr. S,scwi DAN, an./
esteem for his talents, that Gentleman was early
assured he ought to have been at the head of the
Cabinet, and that he was insulted by the place of
Treasurer of the Navy. Mr. SHLRIDAteI
we admit, cannot be too highly rewarded; but he
would not desezve the great eharaCter which he
possesses, had he been the dope of such shallow
artifice. Mr. SHERIDAJI felt that it was an insidious
attempt to excite discontent and jealousy in Lis
breast, with a view to divide the Ministry, and
be treated it with all the can:erupt wlateh it
deserved. .

We lately anacunce.7,lripoTt the authority of tLe
Getman Papers, that several Prussian °dicers had
been brought to trial tor their conduit in the late
unfortunate events. The King of Paussta has
issued a Proclamation upon the subjea, and con-
taining also direitions for future conduit, undrr
the severest penalties. It is given et length in
our last page.

It appears, from our Bath Letter, that the report
of the Bishop of Lownots being seriously indisposed
in that city, is without foundation.

The first battalion of the 6th Regiment of Foot
moved, on Thorslay. from Dover to Deal bar-
racks.

The Fifeshire Militia is also under orders to move
from Dover into the Sussex dissrid, and commenced
its march by the coast, on Tuesday.
A farther change of quarters of the treer is the
rent distria, arising from the late movements,
took place in the course of the present week. The
Renfrew Militia moved from Ashford to the Sussex
district, and the Denbeigh Militia from Ashford to
Dover. The Renfrew were expected to commence
their march yesterday.
The Loyd, a vessel of between 4 and 500 toss.
chartered by the Ordnance Board, passed through
the Downs, en Sunday, from Woolwich, laden with
800 barrels of gunpowder, .hut and shel:s for Malts.
The Two Brothers, —, of Dundee, laden with
GI and hemp, has been found on the Dogger
Bank, without any person on boat d.
No further intelligence, worthy of credit, has
been received from the Continent. The Master of
a vessel, indeed, arrived in the River on Thursday.
from Stettin, which place he lett en the 27th ult.
reports, that, prior to his sailing. advice, had reached
that place, that a Russian and Pru►sian force had
appeared at Stargard, a town about twenty miles
from Stettin. It was said thAt these troops had
come a considerable distance, by a circuitous route.
for the purpose of attar►ing the Fsen.h in the rear.
The reports of m.tsteis of vessels have *marshy
proved fallacious. This rumour ;givens one of the
most improbable that w: have heard.

ANECDOTES OP BONIPAIRTZ.

The Emperor Napoleon rises early in the morn-
ing. for he sleeps very little, not snore than three
or four hours a night. After having taken his cof-
fee, of which he is very fond, as he never drinks less
than thirty cups a-day, made very strong, he goes
to his bath, the water of which is mixed with souse
medical reparation, to cure the effens of the impu
city of his blood, which is visible upon his skin. As
he never can be a moment idle, and makes the most
@lbis time. he is attended by • neison who under-
stands the English language perfeftly. and has the
ability of translating it without hesitation into
French. He, th,refore reads, the English News-
papers
to the Emperor, as if he had a French
paper in his hands. This he calls his hour of
amusement, and sometimes laughs at t • absurdity
and ignorance of the English writers, as he calls
their contents. The person who reads to him, is
instrufted not to pass by any expressions. or to soften
them; he must read as he meets them ; for he likes
to know what the enemy thinks and writes of him.
After having bathed, he dresses himself and gees to
his chamher. where he has always some one to at-
tend him, his Ministers or officers have the prefer-
ence. next hi. private Secretary. He is called at
the hour of dinner. and Wash an hour is occupied
ith that meal, for he eats very little; and has al-
most never any appetite. on account of the quan-
tity of car,. w ich be drinks from time to time.

every where in thvday time• but in the night he is the
near-st to his person; felaii,me Bonaparte does not
sleep wi h him. Rouen sleeps before the door of
his bedchamber, so that it is impossible it can be
opened without disturbing him. When he i. upon
