held. 'flue object of the assembly was to petition Parliament
to impose protecting duties on the importation of corn and
other provisions, and to open the ports upon the payment of
those duties. It is intended to procure the co operation of
the agricultural interests in all the counties of England and
for this purpose copies of the subjoined Petition are a!r et
to be sent to all the principal towns and villages, that :h•
greatest possible number of signatures may be promoted,
feriae to the opening of Parliament.

" TO THE HONOURABLE TUE COHMON'i OF TILE UNITED
RINI:DOM, IN PARLIAMENT ASSRMIILED.
4, The Humble Petition of the several Occupiers of Lands in the
County of whose W n WOWS are herento subscribed,
•• Sit cw ET/I--.., That the soil of the United Kingdom is compete:4
and fully adequate to the supply of its population, even if it 1. ere
torah more numerous than it is, with all the prortuctions of the soil
of the United Kingdom ; that is to say, with corn, mud, boar, rye. •
oats, peas, beans, barley, beer et bigg, wool, fax, hemp, hi.:ts,
tallow, seeds, butter, cheese, poultry, vegatables of all kinds nataral
to the climate, apples and pears.
4"fliat your Petitioners with all humility submit to the consi 1. ra-
tion and wisdom of this Honourable House—That as die soil of t'as
l'nited Kingdom arid its productions, are the prime source of nativ;;Ai
industry and of revenue, it is impolitic, if this allegation he true, to
admit any productions similar to those of our own soil and .li:flaw.
into this country, duty free, until the cultivation of our own soil 'h .a
have estendell itself' to its utmost limits; but whether such alllega-
don be correct in all its parts. or not, it is unjust to the occupiers of
the soil to admit such productions duty free. inasmuch as every •ach
admission tends to disable the occupiers at' the soil from payment
theirvent, tithes, taxes, and wages, while it leaves them subj•set to ail
the pains and penalties incurred by the omission to make good 1::y
of' those payments.
.4 Your Petitioners, therefore, humbly pray; that this Petition -nay
be referred to a Committee of their llonou sable House, where evideneo
may be given in support of the allegations it contains; and If it shall
there be made apiwar to be a just, equitable, and necessary nal:sure.
then, hut not calterwi,e, that all the productions of ilk sod et the
United Kingdom may in !Inure be protected from the import cf
similar cationotlities, duty free, in as full, ample, and beraticial a
the merchants and manufacturers of the United Kingdoets,
are, by the Navigation Act, and other statues of the realm, protect( A
in their ship ling and manufactories, front threign tontittaitios, duty
free. And that your Petitioners may have such relief as to the MIT.
flout of this (louse may seem fit."
We also understand that Meeting. oil! be held in must or

ment on the Loan; 10 per Cent. on Exchequer Bills

We have received New York Papers to the Ist inst.
If the intelligence from America be correct, the Go-
werumnt of the United States has at length performed
its pron:ise of surrendering the Floridas to the autho-
rized agents of Spain. Thu following is an extract :
MontLE, OCT. 2.—Mr. Collins,' from Pensacola,
arrived in town last evening from that place, and
states that Colonel King bud received orders from Wash-
ington. to deliver it up to the Spanish authority. .

" Since the arrival of Mr. Collins, a letter has been
received front a gentleman at Pensutola, to a gentleman
in this town, stating that the order of Cul. King was to
deliver up that place and its dependencies to any Spa-
nish officer authorized to receive the saute by the Spa-
nish Minister Don Captain General of the
flavannah, or by the late Governor Alasut,t."

THE NATIONAL RUGIsTER

A Supplement to the Gazelle of last Taesby was
published yesterday containing dispatches bun
bay:

The only despatch of which we have not had the
full details, is a letter from Lieutenant Colonel Cun-
ningham, dated Camp, near Pritchetgliur, Jane 10,
The particulars of the capture of this fort are
highly creditable to the valor ut• ,he troop employed;
and to the skilful arrangements of the Commanding
Officer, Colonel Cunningham. The despatches from
the Governor in Council :►t Bombay, dated June ,?2,
and 1:;thly, further announel, the unconditional
surrender of the tort anal :ti;:ri.•t of Vezeadroo; to the
British Goverti:neut, wbi, li completes the conquest of
the southern Cancan ; and that by letters received from
S •r'or, it appears that the garrison qt. Malligaum had
scarentlered to Ideut. Col. APDowall.

The following is a private letter from Paris, data]
Nov. 21 :—" i loose no time n communicating to you
this important intelligeae:i, that the N/Mistey have de-
termined en suppres:ing the preliminary censure to
which the French journ..is were subjected. and of pm-
posing a special law flit theie regulation. The matte:
to be immediately discussed in the Council of State ;
and I am informed that the clauses of the law compre-
limit every species of offence, and even discriminate
with precision between the various shades of calumny
and scandal. The newspapers will not from the Ist of
January, appear by privilege as heretotbre ; but it depo.
tit of 72,000 livres will be required, bearing interest of
4 per cent., and serving as a caution. From this mass
the fines to which the Editors may occasionally be
.condemned will be collected, and they will he obliged
to complete the original sum within a given period.—
The cognizance of all inatteis relating to newspapers
will be exclusively lea to a jury, as in England.
The Paris journals insert a paragraph from Valen-
ciennes, descriptive. of the joy which was manifested by
the inhabitants of that frontier fiirtress, on the day of
its evacuation by the British troops. It was on the
19th that the 5-2il regiment (light infantry) gave up
the town to the National Guard, and commenced its
march to the port of embarkation. The people shouted
live le Rui, and every house was decorated ivith the
Bourbon colours. At the same time we are assured,
that no excess was committed, nor insult offered to the
British garrison, ut the moment of surrendering their
•
trust.

An interesting question has just been tried before the
Court of Cessation at Paris, the decision of which, by
the Judges, can hardly fail to be received throughout
the French monarchy with sentiments of the warmest
approbation. A minor Court, that of Correctional Po-
lice, at Gap, had tined a Protestant, of the name of
Roman, for refusing to hang out tapestries upon the
front of his house, while the (to him idolatrous) spec-
tacle of the I-lost was passho,, although enjoined there-
to by the Mayor of the little town of Lourmarin. M.
Roman appealed from this enlightened sentence ; and
the Court of Cessation at once reversed the judgment
of the Court below. Considering the impulse which
since the year 1789 has been given to the public mind
of France, on all subjects connected with religious to-
leration, we conceive the security and satisfaction af-
forded to the people by this formal decision after a pub:
lic appeal, of the utmost importance to the peace of the
country, and the consequent stability of the Royal
House of Bourbon.

Accounts from Brussels, by the Flanders mail, inform
us, that the Duke of Wellington was expected there on
Monday last from Aix-la-Chapelle. The Empress
Dowager of Russia, with the Emperor Alexander, took
leave of the Netherlands on the 21st, the Prince and
Princess of Orange attending them as far as Liege.—
Much astonishment is exhibited, arid well it may, at
the mention of a plot, for seizing the person of the Em-
peror of Russia, by a set oferack-brained Frenchmen, as his
Majesty was journeying from Aix-la-Chapelle to Brus-
sels. The illustrious prisoner was, as the story goes, to
have been forced, on pain of death, to declare the Son
of Boonaparte " king of France," and the Duchess
of Parma, " Regent !" The conspirators had proela.
mations ready, addressed to as many gulls as could be
found among their countrymen, for the purpose of excit-
ing an insurrection against the Bourbon Government.
-We learn front llntssels, that nothing could exceed
the magnificence of the Imperial Russian Visitors. The
Empress Dowager has deposited in the Bank at Brus-
sels 40,0001. sterling, to pay for the expences of her
visit, and has declared, that she will not take any part,
of it back with her. Every thing Russian is, of course,
quite in fashion.
His Grace the Duke of Wellington, in dining with
tl.e Emperor Alexander, on Sunday, tier the first time,
in his quality of Field Marshal of Russia, was dressed
in the Emperor's own coat. As the party was composed
of Russian General Officers, invited to meet hint and
congratulate him on his new dignity, it was intlispens
sibl.,! that he should appear in a Russian unitbrm; and
as the time Was too short to admit of providing one,
ate limpet-or post conticueu4i4y oftercd his own.
