nERSIANY.

While the extraordinary hopes of an abundant harvest are
everywhere throughout Germany exciting delight, the in-
habitants along the horde's of Ute Rhine seem to be excluded •
front this general joy. It is calculated, that between Constance
and Nlayence, in descending the river, there are more than
90,000 acres under water, the vegetation of which is neatly
deatroyed. In a single district attic Grand Duchy of Baden,
these are 1,100 acres ruined by hail storms or inundations.

The Wheat trade remains much the same as Monday last ; telex
has come to hand of good quality, meets puninisers on full as good
terms as that day.—Barley and Beans are each a trifile lower. In
other articles we have no alteration to notice, but little business
doing.
SONDAY, AUGUST 11.
There was a liberal supply of English Wheat this morning, and
upwards of 1;,0410 quarters of Foreign Wheat arrived last week,
which, added to the favourable weather fur getting in the Harvest,
caused the fine samples io experience a dull sale, at a reduction of
about 2s. per quarter since last Monday; but there is no demand for
inferior sorts. Being a short supply of English Oats, the fine aim-
tiles obtained higher prices In Rye, Beans, and Pease, there is
little variation. Rapeseed is dearer ;in Linseed but little doing.

HOUSE OF LORDS.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

MONDAY, PCB. S.
The Lonn CitAsteettote emouninicated to the House the
answer of his [loyal I tigliness to the Address of the House,
presented on Saturday lost.
Lord THAN pre,ented a Petition from Helms/ Hunt,
complaiiiiug of treatitlent which had TOCeiveil tient reliant
persons in the pay of governmeat, who, he said, under pre-
tence of his being a sedulous person, had conspired against
his personal safety. The Petitioner uow colitend;,d, that so
far from his beingsseditilms, or inimical to the govertiment,
lie had, on all OCeatilOOS Of danger, stood forward, and offered
his aid in support of the Constitotion particularly at the
commencement of the war; and again iii 1802, when fears of
invasion were entertained; at which time be offered to the
Lord Lieutenant of the county ill Which be resided, the aid
of his property, as well As his personal service. The Petition
then went into a history of the Bliitol Meeting, and set tin th
the circumstance of the bids, Whirl) the Prtifiuner called
libels on his character, which were posted about the no tro-
pidis, and for pulltag down one of which, a poor and honest
boy, main -d Thomas Hogirkil. was alipreliewled and impri-
soned. The Petitioner prayed that he might be allowed tot
opportiiiiiiy of proving all these facts at the bar of their
Lordships' House.
lit I.An'tl CH ‘NICE.I.LOR hoped their Lordships would
pause b dine they received this Petition. They were only
authoris. il to rec. iv: Petitions in cases where they had the
power of esteading relief: in this case they had not that
power. The C torts of Justice were open; and to them, if
the tition..r was aggrieved, lie might apply.
The Hoa..- its liciliately rejected the Petition.
Le-•t TritAN et then pres.mted a Petition from T. Dogood.
compla MIL of his apprehension for pulling down the posting
-bill; a id lite severity of his treatment whilst in prison ; and
pre, iiie -0 be heard at the bar of the floosie.
This Petition was also, after a few words from the Lord
CHAIIICt.4I.OR, rejected.

FINANCES.--REDUC LIONS.

Lord CASTLEREAGH moved, that a part of the speech of
Ms Royal Highness the Prince Regent, at the opening of the
3ession, particularly addressed to the House of COlllillOllS, he
now read, and it was accordingly read by the clerk, as
_ .

•4 The distresses consequent upon the termination of a war of such
unusual extent and duration have been felt, with greater or less se-
ver ity . throughout all the nations of Europe, and have been consi-
derably aggravated by the unfavourable state of the season.
64 Deeply as I lament the pressure of these evils upon this country,
1 ant sensible that they are of a nature nut to admit of an immediate
remedy; but whilst I observe with peculiar satisfaction the fortitude
with which so many privations have been borne, and the active bene-
volence winch has been employed to mitigate them, I am pur,uatied
that Cie great sources of our national prosperity are essentially un-
impaired, and I entertain a confident expectation that the native
energy tit the country will at no distant period surmount all the diffi-
culties in which we are involved."

lwnd CASTLEKLAGH.—It was not his intention now to go
minutely .'ugh the several heads of expenditure iu the
several branches of our establishments for the present year.
His only object was to give such a general description of the
estimates for the present year, compared with those tor the
last year, as would bring the difference in a general way
under the ,iew of the house. First, then, he requested the
attention of the house to the subject of the army expenditui e,
and, in comparing the expense for the present year with that
for the last year, the best mode, perhaps, would be to con-
sider the troops in France and India as out of the question
for the present, as these did not bear upon the estimates of
the public expenditure of this country. His Lordship then
entered into a comparative statement of the estimates and
expenditure for the past and current years, which will be
seen at one glance in the following scale. Numbers.

FRIDAY Ftß.7.
►WAYS AND
The house, oil the notion or the Chancellor of the Excite-
quer, haring' resulted itself into a committee of wads and
lIAt All., hi Staled his intention to propose the usual annual
taxes, and a grant of Exchequer bills to replace to those paid
olf.
IC(MIMON-BALL PETITION.
Mr. Cat.vr:HT presented a petition from the Lord Mayor
and Common Councilmen the city of London, iu Common
Hall assembled. The petition affiliated the distress of the
country to a want of adequate representation, and prayed
a reform in the Common's House of Parliament—not an al-
teration of the roustitutio. : it disclaimed all wild and t ision.
nry experitnent%, hut pr:” I'd fur a reduction of oar tint% it-
stitutional military establishment, foi• the ii:olition olsinecure
places, the iii'l'ranebi•co.ent of cm rupt boroughs, ant.l the
establishment of triennial Parliaments.

The petition was (lieu read and received.
Sir F. Butt Darr presented a petition from Alancliester and
SaltUrd, on the subject of reform, which WM ordered to lie
on the table, he then presented another from the town of
Leeds, and complaining of wine obstructions that had been
uttered to exercise of petitioning, of individuals having been
ei.nimitted to prison Oct groundless chat _es, and afterwards
liberated, insisted that the house alautild cc ince the most
watchful jealousy on this subject. lie then presented a pe•
tition lion. the town of Braill'orti. which voinidained that the
constitution was subverted in the Parliament us ut pi esent
assembled.

Lord CASTLER EAGH observed, that the petition was in the
same ?cooler as those which the house had already rejected,
and that therefore this could not be received, it appeared to
have been manufactured for the purpose of collecting signa-
tures.

CHURCH SERVICE.

We take the liberty to suggest to the Lords Spiritual,
the propriety of directin7 the Clergy in their respective
dioceses, to give out the Col Arr-r for the Sunday,
as well as the Psalms and proper Lessons for the day.
We have long been desirous that this should be
adopted, and felt particularly so by observing last Sun-
day some of the lower orlera at a loss where to look,
two Collects being read, viz. Septuagesima, and Purifi-
cation of the Virgin Mary.

LOAN TO THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT.

The Earl of LA DER DAL E.—The noble Lord had stated,
the claims of some British subjects against the French go-
vernment had been allowed, and that others were under con-
sideration : but there was another matter having some refer-
ence to this, respecting which he was desirous to have some
information from the Noble Earl. It was notorious, that He-
gociations had taken place tor a loan front some indit idnols
in this country to the French government. lie wished to
know from the Noble Earl, how for the government of this
country was connected with this tranction ; Ist, Whether the
British government' had either directly or indirectly guaran-
teed the repayment of this loan; 2d, Whether Ministers had
given information to the contractors, or persons concerned
in it, that Rove ott never would interfere, or dud not con •
skier itself as under auy obligation whatever at any future
period to stipulate for its repa% merit.
The Earl of LivEnroot. had not the least difficulty in
stating, th it the British government had nut only out gua-
ranteed the payment of principal or interest of the loan in
question, but had held out no hope whatever, that either now
or at any fowl e period the govvrioncot would consider itself
aa under any obligation to interfere, fur the purpose of sector-
ing the fulfilment by the French governm:mt of its engage-
ment with the contractors. The trunsaetion was not new in
its nature ; for British subjects had been permitted to ad-
vance their money, if they thought proper, on Prologues,
and other loans t and while 11 foreign country was in amity
with this country, there was no law to prevent individuals
from etigazinit in what might be considered as a Were com-
mercial transaethm.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

On Tuesday, a Common Conned met at Guildhall, after
a few hours notice, upon a requisition, signed by Messrs.
Waitliman, Favell, eve. to con.ider of " the propriety of
presenting an Address of Congratulation to his Royal incli-
nes,- the Prince Regent, on his providential escape from the
atrocious assaults of some rash ail,/ intemperate initiridania, ;:a
St. James's Palk, on hie reaurii from the hi.ose of Lords, in
the discharge of the functions of our Beloved Sovereign."—
The Lord Mayor took the Chair, unaccompanied by any of
the Aldermen; and after some pause olyersed that they
could not proceed to Inis:ness, two Aldermen, besides him-
self, twin necessary to constitute a legal Com t. But as
mistake had arisen in frantiog the requisition, it was his iii-
tention, be said, to call another Meeting.—The Recorder
immediately stepped forward, and addressed the Meeting.
It was hie daly, lie said, to inform them, that it was his
opinion, as well as that of the other City Law Officers, hatt
from the terms in %%Inch the Requisition was expressed, even
had the Court been legally formed, they would have been
placed in such delicate and dirlieult circumstances, from the
very light mantle r in which the attempt upon the life of his
Royal Highness had hero treated, as to invol% e every iaili-
vidual present in a charge of nikprison of treason. He then
proceeded to read the Statute of Ilia!) Treaacii, which pro-
vided for the sat'ety not only of the persuti of the King and
Queen, but of their eldest son; therefore, to call the late
atrocious attempt on the lite of the Regent by the gentle
epithets of "rush end intemprivie," was not ot.;:t improper but
illegal. Ile nest read SOllli. retracts from the works of Lord
Chief Justice Poster, to strengthen his opinion; and then
quoted the opinion of the pressat Gortunoti Serjeunt, in which
lie filliy voncurreil, viz.:—That to coosider high treason
"as rash and intemperate" only, was in itself a nigh crime
and inisdruicanour. 'file Court, lie therefore repeated, could
not take tip the subject in its present shape, ever, if legally
constiteited. The Lord Mayor, after declaring he haJ not
noticed tile f's prmions, and hearing a few observations iii •
the way of conversation from several Mendiers, bowed awl
retired; when the meeting broke up.
Wednesday another Court of Cominon Conned was held
far the purpo•e of takiug into consideration the propriety of
•resertim, ea Address of Congratolation to his 1(o)al High-
ness the Prince Regent, on his providential escape. After
the requisition hail been read, Mr. Oldham addressed the
Court at MAW! length, and concluded by inuving, that an ad-
dress be presented accordingly; he was seconded by Mr.
James Davis, and afte r some observations from him, Mr.
Alderwan Hey-gate, and Mr. Waithinais, the motion Was %ma.
uimously agreed to, and au address read and adopted.

PPRTSDOWN HILL PETITION.

Lord COCHRANE said, he had a Petition for Reform from a
Meeting, held yesterday on Portsdown Hill, to presons to the
House. He was hams, to say that all the Meeting was quiet,
and that it was very numerous, not withvanding the orders
issued to every one in the employment of the dock yards not
to attend. For wlnit reason he could not tell, but all the Yen.
menu Cavalry were called out round about, and had ball
cartridges delivered to them; as had the garrison of Ports-
mouth, w hich was drawn up nu v barren common seven miles
from the spot. It was not for him to say that this was doce
to intimidate the people from meeting to procure a redress of
their grievances, Notices were stuck up on all the toll-bars,
ec.., in the neichboui hood warning the people not to go, for
there would be bloodshed and murder on Portsdown
If it hid not been for that, instead of 20,000,01er° %soul 1 Ore
been 10,090 persons there. The Petition di i not differ
Ihnn some tha! had been already objected to, except that it
prayed that suffr.ige should extend to all who had attained the
age 21.
Mr. CHUTE said, the Magistrates h.id issued those notices
in order to warn the people against such meetings, some of
which in other places had been productive of murder, or at
least of bloodshed.

The Petition WAS then brought up, nod ordered to be laid
on the Taiile.
THE TAILORS PETITION.
Lord CoennAse said, he had a Petition to present from
the Journeyrnf4l 'Cotton of the city of London, stating, that

COVENTRY PUITION.

Mr. P. Monne prescuted'a Pt ti from Coventry, pray-

Mr. Ilt.rTcewoltTtt agreed in what had been said as to
the distress of the city or Cirventry.
Mr. lateen %ItT said, he had understood Coventry to have
a fund of 10 or 12,0001. a year applicable to the poor; and
if a city so richly endowed was so distressed, it was high
time that the Howe took the subject into serious considera-
tion.

REFOW'I.
DEWSBURY PETITION.

Lord MILTON Uresented a Petition from Dewsbury, in
Yorkshire, prayin4'for ratdical Refiorm. He was happy to
say, that it would be seen, from the Petition, that it came
from persons complaining of real grievances; and not drawn
bp by clubs, nr taken tioni a copy sent down from London.
lie praised the example which the Marquis Camden had set
the higher orders; and lie trusted the people would see that
the higher orders were not careless of their distress, not-
withstanding what had been spread among them to the con-
trary.
Lord LASCFLLES agreed to the description given of the
Petition and Petitioners by his Noble Oolieague.

rEBRIJARY 11.

lie conducted her under that pretence ; but soon after
their arrival, a woman of the neighbourhood was alarmed
by the cries of murder; she hastened to the spot ; and on
entering the sweep's house at the back door, witnessed the
cause of the alarm, anti further was lammed by the pros.
Irate victim of a vile passion, that the follow was using her
excessively ill; upon which she departed, and communicated
the circumstance to some Peace Officers, who, in COPSC-
(pence, paid Mr. Sweep, alias Noble, a visit; but on finding •
the girl standing before the fire, and without making any
formal complaint against any one, they did not feel them
selves instilled in taking him into custody; but being cads-
fied as to the girl's deplorable condition, they advised her to
go to the blaek ho!e, where she would be sheltered from the
inclemency of the weather, have clean straw to lie upon, mud
be furnished with food from the poor-house (nearly full)
mid, she could be examined as to her parish, and see t holm .
To this site consented. and an order of Magistrates was ac-
corilinely obtained for her removal; but as she appeared too
ill to undertake the journey, she was sent to lbe pooh-house,
where medicine, and every thing her case required, were ad-
ministered; Monet' to no purpose, as she died on the follow-
ing day, and seas decently interred in the church-yard. The in-
terment was followed by a rumour, that the death of the poor
creature was ranged or accelerated by the barbarous treat-
ment of the chimney-sweeper, who had absented himself, and
thereby given a high colonising to the rumour. Ho however
in a few days returned, when he was taken into custody; and on
Monday week brought before Sir G. Webster, and the Rev. T. It.
Kemp ; when the effair underwent a full investigation • and the re.
stilt of which was, an order from the Magistretes for die disinterment
of the corpse fur the irFpection of the Coroner's .lure. The body wilt
necenlinely dug up the same evening and deposited in the church,
where the Jury essembled; and after hearing the es id,nee produced.
very minutely esuanined the body ; but finding no marks of external
violence about it, they returned a verdict—Died of Disease and Want
of Nutriment. —lt is remarkable, that the body, though it had lain
buried more than a week, exhibited not the smallest symptom of
putridity, nor was it in the least offensive ; on the contrary, the Jure
declared, that it was the fairest and best looking corpse they had evil
beheld. It is indeed said, that it appeared more free from impurity
than when it was shrouded. The deceased, when in health, had the
remitatien of being a very pretty girl; but if such be the sad effects
of be tiny, it were better to be ugly--The Man of Soot was again
bmught before the above magistrates on Tuesday week, and, afttr
a euitabl: admonition, liberated.

self ignorant of all the persons at that Meeting, as tar as hc•
knew, and therefore be was surprised that it shookd be offered
to hint for presentment. Hat as it was perfectly unexcep-
tionable in language, and as he was anxious that no obstacle
should be thrown in the way of the people's right of petition-
ing, h felt it his ditty to present it. He should have made
!.(1111e farther observations had any of his Majesty's Ministers
befit present; but lie understood they had issued a circular •
no,iue that they would not be able that night to attend in their
places. He had to observe, that the Petition professed to be
that of the distressed and starving inhabitants of the Metro-
polis ; but as it was signed by only 20 persons, he was aware
it could only be received as the Petition of those who signed
il.—Tbe Petition was read, and ordered to lie ou the Table.

MARQUIS CAMDEN'S SINECURE.

Lord CASTLEREAGH repeated what he had said 85 to the
Noble Marquis giving up his large emoluments, on the ex-
ample set to him by the hig,hest quarter ; and which be em-
braced as soon as he could, without his being exposed to the
imputation of having :riven up what Parliament hail alNays
considered as a vested right, to an ill-fonuded clamour. This
was the last office not already regulated by Parliament.
Mr. BROUGHAM had expected that the example of the
highest quarter, and of the noble Marquis, would have been
followed by the rest of the Sineeurists. But it seemed as if
the noble Lord wished to quiet the alarms of the other Sine-
enlists, without whom Government could not exists. He
was sorry, and so would the House be, that this expectation
had been so soon Ramped ; and that more attention was not
paid to the wishes and distresses of the people. The Dews-
bury petition was then brought up, and ordered to lie on
the table.

CALCUTTA GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, APRIL It.

We are happy to learn that the insurgents in Cuttack had
abandoned their intention of proceeding to Jaggernattt to se-
cure the person of the Rajah ; for although no apprehension
could be entertained regarding the issue of their operations, a
rtmeontre might have been the occasion of much bloodshed.
They bad, however, been surprisingly active in obstructing
the passes, by a sort of stockade, in the wooded anti hilly part
of the district in which they had atsembled, and the detach-
ments that had been sent out to cheek their progress fitund
great difficulty in their attempts to reach them, and were
obliged to return for want of supplies : those that were sent
after them, together with the tents and baggaae, haling been
cut off by the enemy. It was in an effort to forage with a small
party for the detachment under Lieut. Peideaux in a village
not supported to be in the occupation of the insurgents, that
Lieut. Faris met with his lamentabh fate. He, and a Son-
bad ar, at the head of about 50 men. are said to have been shot
by some rebels who were skulking behind a wall. The body
of the unfortunate officer was instantly placed in his pal:ft:-
keen ; but while the bearers were carrying it ell one of them
was kdled, and the aeuaiuder, unable to proceed, fled from
the betlle auction. 'flue village were this unhappy eirenm-
stance occurred is called Gongparah, and is about a kos front
Khoordah. As the party retreated from the jungle they
fired two %aka upon the riotera, by which several were
killed and wounded.
Lient. Prideanx, having no grain, retired upon Piply, and
arrived there in the night, after fighting the whole day, and
having in his moves% forced eleven stockades. The Magis.
trate, ansions to enquire into the cattle of the result, had
taken an escort of 61 men ; but hearing that bent. Pridetmx,
had gone to Piply, Lieut. Travis, the officer in command,
forced his way to Itaicattee, killing and wounding several of
the insurgents, who attempted to obstruct his march. On
hearing of the retreat of Lieut. Prideaux, Colonel O'Halloran
sent the first battallion oldie Istit Regiment, with guns, under
Captain 1.41, Fevre, who proceeded to Cumin:ill, where he rP-
maiurd
two days ; but Unable to procure the 11(.4.'01'4;11'y slip_
blies, he was /obliged to return, and encamped on the west
ank of the river Cotjurah. Out letters of the 10th state,
that by great exertion anti activity grain sufficient for litteeen
days, and three' hundred bullocks, haul bceu collected, and
that Captain Le Fevre advanced on Khoordah that day.—
inglimuloo appears to retain the COMlllalld of the rebels, and
euntinuce sending parties front Khoo,' shah in dittetent dire-
thins to plunder the houses of the Daroghas and 'remit dars.
They had burnt and destroyed the greater part of Piply, and
then retired wirido the pergunnah, which is said to be m uni-
versal agitation and revolt.
