Medicine prescribed by the most eminent of the Faculty
here, and undergoing. several severe courses of salivation,
and twice discharged front the Hospital, with little relief,
would appear to be of the most inveterate nature. In the
spring of last year my clisorder hild got to tucil a head, as

was very much discoloured, and gave me such excrutiat-
ing pain, :particularly when vvarni ih bed, as nearly to de-
prive me of rest ; in this lamentable state, I was recom-
mended by Mr.' )...Thompson, (who received so great a
cure by them he're), to take your Leake's Patent Pills,
which 1 bettan to do on the; 76th of May ; in the course
of a fortnight, 1. began to recei're benefit—in little mare

soundly healed--soon after, the -sores on my legs healed
.also; leaving, - however, consiuerable diseeloitracion in the-.
skin, and pain in the bone oldie left, Which, by the

luable Medicine, subsided ;, tie nodes dispersins, the skin

. . _
Sir JOHN • NEWPORT moved the Order of
the Day for going into a Committee on the Corn
Intercourse Bill.—The House having resolved itself
into a Committee,
. ,

Sir 1P CURTIS said, •he rose to objea to the
Clause which direaed one 'general average of the
price of Corn t 6 be taken for the whole of the
United Empire. With respeal to the general ob-
jee-t of this Bill, viz. that of allowing a free inter-
course between Great Britain and Ireland, nobody
could approve of it more than he did ; but the
Clause relating to • the general average would, he
contended,, alter the 'whdie . of our Corn Laws, and
might be. produ6tive of the most injurious Conse-
quences. The .average of the pride of Cdrn was
now taken in England' upon the priCes in the
.13
Maritime Distri&s ; but if a general average was to
be taken, including, Ireland and Scotland, it might
keep the market too low,,and keep the Ports of this
Country from being epened to importation, when
from the price in Engrand they ought to be opened;
because; though the average price of England might
be so high as to admit of importation, yet, by in-
cluding Ireland and Scotland, the average might be
brought below the- price at which importation was
perinitted. Upon these grounds he should move to
omit the Clause respeding the average.
Mr. FOSTER said, that although it was very
desirable that there should be a free intercourse be-
tween Great Britain and Ireland, With respea to
grain, yet if there were not some regulation adopted
to govern their trade with, Foreign Countries also,
• the greatest inconvpience might ensue. If there
was a separate averke for each_Country, 'then the
Ports of Ireland might be Open for exportation,
while those of England were shut, and vice versa.
The inconvenience of this' was obvicnis, because if
the Ports of England were shut against exportation
to Foreign Countries, andathose .of Ireland 'open, it
would be very easy to take the corn from England
to Ireland, and then export it. With respe& to
importation, the ineom.reniencies were equally obvi-
ous. He was, therefore, fully convinced, after giv-
ing this subjeel the fullest consideration, that if this
free intercourse was 'permitted, it would bet abso-
lutely necessary to establish one general average for
tbe'whole of the Empire. But he really thought
this subje& much toil important to be pressed for-
ward 'at this late period of the Session : much of the
information which he had called for was not before
the. House, and therefore he. thought it would be
much better to postpone the Bill till next Session,
when the subjeCt might be fully considered. Great
Britain and Ireland had each profited under their
own System, Of Corn Laws, and therefore Parlia-
Usent.ought to be very cautious how it ventured to
make alterations.. Upon the whole, he wished to
retain the Clause respeaing the average ; if that was
left out he should oppose the' Bill.
Sir JOHN NEIPPORT said, that if it should
be the opinion of Parliament to leave out the Clause
respeffing the average, he saw no reason why the
general objeet of the Bill, which every body seemed
to approve 'of, viz. that of establishing a free inter-
course, between Great Britain and Ireland, should
not be adopted. He agreed With the light Hon.
Gentleman opposite to him, that there ought to' be
a general average; but he by no means thought that
such serious consequences most ensue if that Measure
was not immediately adopted. If the House was not
at present disposed to adopt the present Clauserespea.
hig the average, he saw n 6 reason why that part of the
subj'eet might not be deferred till next Session; but
with respe& .to that part of. the Bill which went to
establish a free intercourse in grain between the,
two Countries, 'he believed it met with univer-
sal approbation ; and therefore he could not con-
ceive upon what grounds the Right Hon. Gentleman
Wished to postpone it. It was a measure that na-
turally resulteil from the Union. between the two
Countries, and he was only surprized that it had
been, deferred so- long. Upon the whole he should
support the Clause respeeting the average ; but if
the Committee disapproyecl of that Clause, he Should
still oppose deferring the great .objeat of the Bill till
next. Session. -

Mr. ROSE said he glid not think the House had
information enough, before it to decide upon the
question of the general average, an 4 he did not
think it would be safe to pass the Bill with-
out it.

Lord HENRY PETTY was of opinion. that the
Question of Average might be postponed till next
Session, but there was no reason for postponing the
other part of the Bill.
After a few words from Mr. Western, Mr. Perci-
val, and Le.;rd Castlereagh, the.GAllery was cleared
for a div6ion ; we understood, (however,
,that it was
re
agreed to leave out the Clause sp;y: ting the Ave-
rage ; but upon the q1;0.::tion of the Cl airman leav-
ing the Chair, the Goairuittee divided---i7pr the Bill
32 against it 28—inajority 4. _ _

The Report was ordered to be receiycd to-morrow.

• A Message was receied from the Lords, stating,
that their Lc :ciships had agreed to the Customs Fees
gill, and certain Private dills.• • •

VOLUN LEERS.

Mit.nmni.asked whether it was the
intention or the Right Uon. Secretary of State over
tile way (Mr. Windham) to make 4ny'propositiou

to the House this Session respe&ing the Volunteer
Officers ?

Mr. WINDHAM replied, tlytt it was his intention
to move for leave to bring in a Bill to-morrow rela-
tive to Volunteer Officers.

Sir HENRY IVILDMAY then -gave notice that he
would on Friday next submit a Motion to the House
on the subject of the Volunteers..

OUDE.

Mr. PAULL presented the Supplementary Charge
on the subject of Oudef and moved .that it should be
printed.
_ • ..

- Sir Aft.rmurt WELLESLEY asked whether fit was
the intention' of the Hqn. Gentleman to make any
more AlMons relative to Marquis Wellesley this
Session ? I-Te wished' to ascertain this 'as he had
other duties to perform, and was desirous of getting
away as soon as possible. He would not object to
printing the Charge.
Mr. PAULL stated that it had always been his
intention to come to a decision on the Oude Charge'
this Session, ifpossible : but he had been at the In-
dia HoUse, and found that Accounts of great im-
portance could not be made out in less than eight or
ten days; he would therefore give no•pledge to pro 7.
ceed this Session, but he would certainly be ready
to proceed on the second or third da'y of next Ses-
sion. It was also his intention then to prefer a
Charge relative to the transactions in the Carnatic,
as this subject had been abandoned'by a Right Hon.
Gentleman (Mr. Sheridan), whom he saw in his
place.
Mr. Ii" POLE said, • that it was very natural
for Marquis Wellesley and his friends
.to wish to.
have the decision this Sessiori. But when they h4l
proposed to come to a decision the other night, they
were not acquainted with the circumstance. that. the ,
Hon. Gentleman wanted what he considered as ma-
terial evidence.n On inquiry at the India House, be
was given to understand that. the Accounts could
not be made up in lass than two months. It could
not, therefore, be expealed that the House should
decide on the. aide Charge -this Session. He ask-'
ed whether the Hon. Gentleman had any more esti-
dence to move for respecting his Charge ? If he had,
he hoped he would move fur it this. Sessiorkthat the
House might be ready to decide at the beginning
of the next.

Mr. PAuf.t. stated, that he had only a few Papers
to move for, which might be prepared in a few hours.
Mr. SHERIDAN begged leave to trouble the
House with a few words, consequence of his
-having, been accused by, the Hon: Gentleman with
having abandoned the subje& of the Carnatic, and
hinted that This had been done_ since he had come
into Administration. The fad was, and.he thought
the- Hon. Gentleman might have known it very
well, that .he had abandoned that subjeCt when
Lord Powis was appointed, or understood to have
been appointed, Lord Lieutenant of 'lreland. But
lie had not abandoned his opinion respeCting these
transactions, and when the Hon. Gentleman broUght
the affair forward he should have his support. But
his Charge was against Lord Powis, and not against
Marquis Wellesley ; and he must say that it was
somewhat singular that the Honourable Gentleman,
who Must have known this at the beginning of the
Session, had not come forward with this Charge
when he had the materials prepared to his hands.
After a few words from Mr. PAVIA, Sir AIITIIIJIt
Wst.Lestry, and Dr. LAWRENCE, the Charge was
ordered to be printed. _ _ _

. ,
Mr. W INDHAM a presented Petition from the Ve-
terinary College, praying for public aid.—Ordered
to lie on the table.

Lord CASTEEREAGH moved, by Address, for a
Copy of the Third Report of the Commissioners of
Naval Revision.—Agreed to.
Lord HENRY PETTY brought up the Surveyor-
General of Woods. and Forests Office Regulation
Bill.—Read a first and ordered to be read a second
time to-morrow:

Mr. PAULL moved for an Account of the xpences
of the 27th Light Dragoons in India from 1798. to
1801, and for Copies of Letters that passed between
Colonel Scott, the Resident at Lucknow, and Mar-
quis Wellesley, relative to the excursions of .the Na-
bob Vizier to the Deccan .-0 rdered.
