[MORNING POST.]
PARLIAMIENT...--The Houser of Commons, it is
evpected, will have Cashed the whole of its 'bu-
siness this evening ; in which case, it will adjourn
loft. a. few-days, hi order to allow time to the
-lords to pass the remaining Bills. Saturday
;.4e i 2 at present considered as the probable day
of Prorogation ; and it is supposed that his Ma.
jevt.y nil! attend in person on that occasion.

We received last night, by Express, the
• VfstuckPapers of Saturday. The Etoile of that
*We, gives,an article from Milan, which states
That all the Foreign Ministers who had accompa-
ARied the Emperor to Genoa had returned from
gat city, but that his Imperial Majesty was then
•et Pavia. An article from Lisbon of the 9th in.
..stant, states that Portugal, in imitation of other
gauntries, who have adopted the wise and liberal-
policy of Britain, has in a great measure entered
upon.the principle of open trade. The first step
-token by the Portuguese Cabinet, has been to re-
stuunce the system of absolute prohibition, and to
establish in its stead a duty of thirty per cent.
an a vast number of articles, such as silks, orna-
ments, tissues worked with gold or silver, laces,
false stones, and beads of all colours, cloths
and stuffs of all countries, except those of Eng-
land and of Holland, " Henceforward," says the
• communication, " competition will be open to all
:nations, and the consumer will benefit by it."—
(Ibid.)

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
We have received Brussels Papers to the 26th
instant. They contain the details of some new
Regulations respecting Schools, and the qualifi-
cations of Teachers in the Kingdom (1f the Ne-
therlands. We are always suspicious of the in-
terference of Governments with the qualifications
of Teachers, but we believe that the Govern-
ment of the Netherlands is perfectly in good
faith in this matter.

An article from Lisbon, in the Courier Fran.
wis, gives an account of the result of the exer.
tions of Mr. Iluskisson, &c., to open the trade o
Portugal. We wish they could open the under
standings of our landholders; but they are some
what worse to manage than the Court of Lis
bon.—(Mid.)

[NEW Times.]
The present poll for the Sheriff.; of London is
Furious : there is something novel in the idea of
an election for a high civic office in the Metro-
polis, the votes for which, after two days polling,
do not reach as high as 200 in number. We doubt
whether any case has before occurred in which
the Livery have been so intirely at a pause. The
question, indeed, seems hardly understood by
them ; and yet it is extremely simple. A ma-.
rtceuvre has been played off upon the Livery, by
Natsicts two individuals were attempted to be elected
by surprise, who, for some-.reason best known
to themselves, had not chosen to give the citizens
any previous notice of their intentions. The only
way of preventing the trick from succeeding was
by opening a poll,. and thus giving the Livery
time and opportunity of knowing who were the
Candidates,,,and of gaining some information as
tt their qualifications. .But it is frequently asked,
will Mr. Martin and Mr. Woolley serve ?—as if
that point had any using to do with the real
question. If Mr. Dose and Mr. Hurd had not
put. themselves forward, Messrs. Martin and
Woolley would have been chosen as matter of
course, they being at the head of the official list.
If Messrs. Dove and Hurd had been properly an-
nounced to time Livery a reasonable time before the
ejection, and had been approved of by them, this
would have left the old list untouched. But if the
Livery object to being surpriied and manoeuvred
into the choice of candidates who spring up on
the morning of- the election, they have certainly
ttaother course left them but to turn back to the
official list, and. to take, as they would otherwise
have done, the first. two names upon it, leaving
these gentlemen, if elected, the usual option of
accepting oc declining the offiCe. "The question,
therefore, we repeat, is not between men, but
between the preservation. of the old wholesome'
usages_of the "City, and an innovation Which, in
at least one. instance of late occurrence,-has
pitioiertthe parent of inconvenience and discredit
to all caticarnod its it. •

[TII E. 11.111HAI
The efforts for forcing the French -3 per cent.
certificates into_ circulation having. been increased
on Saturday, several -large purchases were. ina-d-e,
and the vrice advanced to 764- to the
eltperiment. is in progress .as to what-may be its
fate in this market, we-learn by the•letters from
Paris that M. de Villele is not idle; and that his
coadjutors, the Bank of France, the Receivers-
general of+ taxes, the subservient public Com-
panies, and all the immediate dependents of the
Government, are ready to. apply their capital
to • enhance • the value of the new stock, and
thereby induce the holders of the 5 per'cent.
Relates to assent to the conversion. '.n.!
journal. des Mbats of Wednesday last con-
tains an article on the subject, in which the
possible consequences to the Government of this
attempt_ to force the new certificates into circula-
tion are Set forth with great ability.... Not to
mention the unconstitutional proceeding of--mak-
ing the receivers of taxes speculators in the pub-
lic funds, a ,sudden fall in their value owia4, to
any political caiise might make them unable to
fulfil their engagements, and the funds of the
Tredsnry placed in their hands for the public
service pight.be suddenly dissipated. Still more
embArvassing would be the situation of the French
Government in the event of the failure of any of
thoeagentsemployed in foreign countries to circu-
late the new certificates—an event which should
alyfaysbe regarded as within the compass of rea.
sot** probability. Would the. Government in
that case intermingle in the concerns of a. pri-
vate individual. whose affairs had been•placed
by his failure in the hands of assignees ?. What
would they do with the reifies pledged ? Would
