RUSSIAN PROCLAMATION.

Frenchmen !—Europe united at the Congress of Vienna has in-
formed von of your tune interests by the arts of the IMli of Mardi
and the 11th of May. rt comes in arms to prove to you that it
I,os not spoken in vain. It desires peace ; it has need of it ; it
must be confirmed by its amicable relations with you : it can have
none, it never can have any, with the Man who pretends to go-
vern you. A fatal infatuation may have made the French soldier
forget for a moment tl:e laws of honour, and have Extorted a per-
jnry bon: him. An ephemeral power, supported by all kinds of
way have misled some Magistrate into the path of error:
hut this power totters, soon it Will wholly disappear. The com-
bined Army of the North convinced you of it on the day of the
liith of June ; our armies are marching to convince you of it in
their torn. Frenchmen, it is still time !—Reject the man who
:rgai►t, chaining all your liberties to his car, threatens social order,
and brings into your native country all nations in arms. Be re.
stored to yourselves, and all Europv salutes you as friends, and of-
fers you peace. It does more:—From this moment it considers
all Frenchman who are not ranged under the standard of Boo-
naparte, and who do not adhere to his cause, as friends. We have
consequently the order to protect them, to leave then► the peace-
able enjoyment of what they possess, and to support the laudable
efforts which they shall make to replace France in the relative situ-
ation which the. Treaty of Pa► is had re established between her
and all the European nations God, Justice, the wishes of all na-
tions, second Its ; Frenchmen, come to meet us ; our cause is yom's ;
your happiness, your glory, your power, are still neressary to the
happiness, the glory, and the power of the nations who are going
to comb;►t for you.

PROCLAMATION or THE DUCIitSS D'ANGOULEM P.
" If the voice of your legitimate King has not yet reached you, 1
now ntake you hear it. It is in his name, in virtue of the powers he
has confided to me, that I address you.
" Faithful French Man I join the daughter of your Kings ; she
d+ es not bring you war ; she speaks to you only of peace and union.
She laments the frightful calamities brought upon you by treason and
perjury ; she cannot look without terror to those of which war may
still render you the victims.
" Frenchmen ! in the name of the Country, of your Families, of all
that you hold most dear and sacred upon earth, rise all, join yourselves
to me, to secure the triumph of the paternal views of the best of
Kings.
" Frenchmen ! time is precious, victorious armies advance : let a
truly natiunal movement, and the expression of our fidelity, to our
King, at once put an end to a war, not undertaken from anibiti.ot and
the love cif conquest, but from the necessity of saving France and
Europe.
" Frenchmen, raise the standard of fidelity, and you shall see me in
the midst of you.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

On the ,econd reading of the Pillory Abolition Bill, Lord ELLEN.
BortouGH was against the entire revocation of this ancient pubish-
ment, considering that in eases of gross perjury, and other iosiane,
of deep and complicated frauds, the pillory was • cly properly
app!ied.
The Lord CHANCELLOR argued on the same side, and thought
the Bill had better be postponed till next Session.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL was of the same opinion, and expre d
a WWI that the Judges should be required to draw up a Bill, skew -
ing what crimes they regarded a• being fit to be punished by the
pillory. He concluded with recommending that the Bill should,
stand over to the next Session, which was agreed to. '
A number of Bills from the Commons were advanced a stage
without discussion.—Adjourned.

THURSDAY, JULY 6.
The Royal Assent was given by Commission to several public and
private Bills, among which were the two Exchequer )li►is Bill•,
Christie's Divorce Bill, the County Blidges Bill, and Cole's Di-
vorce Bill.
The second reading of the Newspaper Stamp till being moved,
Earl Stanhope said, that the additional duty on ad vet tisements was
such as he could not agree to. So far from yielding any incteaso
of revenue, lie was persuaded it would operate in a contrary way.
It would also have a tendency to di•coutage that great source of
information, the public press, the liberty of which was so important
to a free country. Ile should oppose that enactment when the Bill
went into a Committee.

FRIDAY, JULY 7.
The Agent General's Reettlatinn Bill. the Consolidated Fund
Bill. the Irish Militia Pay Bill, the Local Militia Amendment Bill.
the Bill to prevent frauds in tho manufacture of Skins, the Seantan'4
Enconracement Bill, the captured Slaves Provision Bill, and the
Copyhold Estates Bill, were read a third time and passed.

NEWSPAPER STAMPS.
On the committal of the Bill fur imposing aft additional duty upon
Newspapers and Advertisements,
Lord STANHOPE observed that the tendency of this measure
would be such as he presumed the Minister could not desire, namely,
to increase the public burthens, and to diminish the revenue. This
might appear paradoxical ; but he remembered a similar ewe some
years ago, when an additional duty was imposed upon spirit., he
(Lord Stauhope) ventured to foretel that the effect of the new dirty.
would be to reduce the revenue upon spirits generally, and ulna
was the result? Why. that this revenue full off to the amount of
between 2 and 300,0001. in consequence of which reduction. Mr.
Pitt hitd the additional duty repealed; although he (Lord Stanhone)
Was, in the first instance, laughed at thr his predictions. He hail
no doubt that in predicting the consequence of the Bill tsudcr con-
sideration, he should be found equally arem ate as in the eiln•
hided to, whatever attention might be paid to him at present. Tl.e
Noble Lord concluded with moving as an amendment the omission
of these words—" or inserted in any other newspapers."
The am,rdment was negatived, and the several clauses wele
agreld to. Tai House resumed, and the Report was ordered to Ire
brought up to meat ow.
The other Orders of the day were disposed of, and the flon,:ic
