that some time ago .it had.been stated, that the Re-
turns to the Population Bill were not complete,

many of the Returns had since come in, And others
, were expeded; it would therefore be necessary to
alter the Totals of the Returns which had:4o.laid
before the House, and ats. 'to correa some Clerical
Errors he, therefore, moved, " That the proper
Officer be diretted to insert, in du' returns. ;Already
made, such alterations as might be necessary in•con..

The SPE.,4KER observed, that when it was

found necessary to alter any returns which had been
• Oriade to the House, the usual mode was to move to
w4hiltais thenr.lnd present a fresh one, but when

THE Proceedings in the House of Commons,- last
night, 'though short, were so far important, that a
question froth Mr. WINDHAM, relative to the
Treaty with Portugal, produced an answer from
the Minister satisfadory in the highest degree.—
He distintlly stated, that. GOvernment had every
reason for thinking, Short of the absolute determina-
tion of. the subject by Definitive Treaty, that the
Treaty of Badajoz was alone considered to be in
force, and the Treaty of Madrid as annulled.

It will be seen, in our Patliamentary. Proceed-
ings, that the two Houses have adjourned only to
Monday next.

The
_spirit of. insubordination .which Lately ap_

official-ly to notice
.to our Great Friend, that the
Sublime. P6rte.ha . received with transports of
joy the intelligence of the signing of the Irelirnina_
ries of Peace ; that it has read with admiration the
four Articles stipulated by it ; that the edifice of
Peace, so desirable on lvoth sides, could not have
-been raised on more favourable bles: that from
these four principles must result such satisfaCtory
consequences; that we are diliposed to consider the
_Preliminaries as a Definitive Itcaty, and to promise

ourselves. as a consequence, the renewal of that an-
, ,
cient friendship which hag on4ed thF twq Faipires

now increase. I entreat the Cbarget des fiffacres to

There is no probability, in the report that Lord

of the DefinitiVe Tteaty. That event, we hack
reason to believe, will not be'Much longer delayed.
The Spanish Plenipotentiary has probably reached
Ainiens by this time, and the bdsiness will, we.
doubt not, be soon after concluded.

Accounts received from .`in ens, mention the
splendour of Ma rquis Coßzv WAL L IS'S equipages, and
the magnificehce of his tabye,. 'The allowances for
his Embassy are indeed alLogether different to any
that has preceded it; 'and so is the itttehtion'that
has been paid to-him in France.

When His'F,xcellency, after accepting:the Em.
bassy, and'reeeiving the Presents usual on such oc-
casions, was asked what sum he would require for
his table anti aptointments, he excused naming it,
and at the same expressed a wish to be alto-
getheel disencuinbered from the trouble of settling,
his household, or providing /for it, in order to
be enabled to confine his attention solely to the
great objets of his missio'. Our Government ac-:
ceded to hirbordship':s request ;
.and a peison was
accordingly sent to 'Amiens, who has the whole
superintendance, of
.the Ambassador's Hotel, and
draws on ttt Foreign Office for the expences attend.
ing it.

As a proOf of the lively interest which the French
Pecyle take in his residence among , them, His Ex,
cellency was no sooner settled at Arniens, than all
the Constituted Authorities for fOrty miles round
repaired to the Seat of Congress,; to offer him their
congratulations, and to express' their joy at the, re.
turn of Peace. between the two Countries. Some Of
the Addresses are marked with as much fervencY as
if they had been intended for the Chief Consul him-
self.

'The' Managers of the Theatre at Amiens, which
is a very good ones also took an early opportunity
of waiting on our Ambassador, and paid him the.,
compliment of asking at what hour it would be most
agreeable so him and his Fries as for the performance`
to commence., An answer was returned, that His EX-
.ellericy‘seldom visited a. Theatre; and it was hoped,
for the convenience of the City,•that the usual hour
of representation would be continued ; but finding
that be did not dine till five; the performances have
been postponed froM six to seven o'clock.
We understand that the Ambassador ..has also re-
ceived the most marked civilities and ttention from
.JosE'H BONM'ART.E. who has the chardaer of be-
ing at once noble in his manners, and frank and• ho-
nourable in every transaCtion..
