LOllOOl4.
MONDAY. JANUARY 10.

In pursuance of our promise, we this day give
copies sad abstracts of some of the recent extraor-
dinary enactments, and .which we have no doubt our
readers will peruse:with great interest. We mean
to give the remainder as soon as we can procure
copies of the Acts themselves. As to giving ab-
stracts or copies of the Bills as they are iuttodu.ce4
or as they proceed throue the two nooses, we
think it nearly useless in of importantx ;:fue
in their progress they are often so changed that the
person intrutlucing them can scarcely recognize
them. From the" Searching fbr arms Act," which
we give ta-day, our millers will perceive, that an
Englishman's house is no longer his castle--that
upon the inlimuation of any ONE permin, however
infamous he may be, a magistruse may issue a war-
=ant to search fur arms 'by day or eight; and thai

in ease the impetuosity of the party entrusted with
the execution of such warrant, should cause him to
fancy the man whose sleep is thus broken in upon
not sufficiently speedy in his obedience to this law
"so novel to Englishmen," that the petty con-
stable has by this Act a right to break open the
dwelling-house of this tardy Briton—such is now
the law—how long it may be suffered to remain so,
God only knows. We would gladly learn how,
under this law of nocturnal visiting and violence,
the victim of an attack of the sort is to discritninate
between an officer of police and an unprivileged
housebreaker. The enactment is new, and preg-
nant with.. more dangers than we dare point out.
Of the Act against training, it only need bo said,
that it was quite unnecessary ; the old anti unre.
pealed law was quite sufficient to reach the evil ;
but the alarmists chose to add a litile to the cry of
danger. We shall probably observe upon the other
Acts next week.
In another part of our Paper will be found a
statement of the receipts of the revenue fur the last
quarter— it is in itself acnielincltoly document, but
would appear muds more glbomy if it v.., re accord
pitied byi statement of the amount cf the arrears,
the payment of which has been enforced b., crown
proeesses, and which arrears were never urged se
closely up before ; this is a pleasure that nothing.
but the plea of hard necessity can excuse, and w 6.
believe Government may te9 truly set up that plea.
We are-at a loss to suppose by eller 11.elnA the
Chancellor of the Exchequer can provide fur the
great defalcation of the Revenue, seeing as we do-
that the present burthens of the people are insup•
portable, and that the addin: to the Taxes decreases
their productiveness.

The French papers of Tuesday arrived at a late
sour last night : they contain nothing of any pub•
lic interest. The following are cstracts
PARIS/ JAN. 4.—" To-morrow there will be a
public sitting of the Chamber of Dputies, to rccei.rc
a communication from the Minister of Finanze, and
a report from the Commission en Petitions.
'l' The Duc de Basun°, banished b; the ordinance

of the 24th of July, 1815, arrived yesterday iu
Paris.
" On Sunday last,. M. Villeneuve La Roche Bar—
nard had the honour of presenting to Madame, the
Duchess of Angouleme, the first part of his "
moirs on the Expedition of Quiberon," preceded by
a notice on emigration.. Her Royal Higtmsss
eeived the work with her ordinary Eindness, End
asked when the second yart of this interesting pro-
duction would appear.
"M. Bury Saint-Vincent, one of the recalled ex-
iles, and one of the authors of "The General An-
nals of the Physical Sciences," set out from Brus-
sels for Paris on the .11st lilt. It is believed, that
in a month he will return to join his learned fellow
labourers.
" The Emperor Alexander of Russia his ordered
2.000 frit. to be paid to the subscription for erecting
a monument to Nlalesherbes. The Emperor's letter
dated the 9th of November, sustain* a handsome
eumplimel tto that eskellent man. The monuments
which transmit to posterity the memory of generous
actions are their best ret:zipense, as they th con-
secrate and inspire them.

MR. COBBETT'S NEW PROPOSITION.
Those who know Mr. Cobnett best will be the
least astonished at the following proposition which
Le has submitted to the people of England. Mr.
Cobbetes effrontery has long enjoyed u pre-eminent
estimation, and we really consider that in this
instance he has surpassed himself he has " Out-
heroded Herod." Our opinion of the good sense of
OW countrymen inspires us with confis:ence that
few, very few, if any of them will become ihe dupes
of an artifice that ha.:: nothing. but downright sheer
IMPUDENCE to apologize for it. None but Mr.
Cabe r. could have dared to make such a proposi-
tion, especially after the dishonesty of his pnneipict
en pecuniary soljecto, (no; to say any thin, of
hs
mum:rout. ofost,t.tus on political ones), had been r:.
unblushingly aviiwrid in his notorious leas.. writ-
ten while he was in America, to Sir F. Buttiett.
and inclosed, we believe, iu one addressed to Mr,
