44 TO THE MINISTER. OF MARINE.
44 MOST ILLUSTRIOUS AND EXCELLENT
having been determined by the 18th Article of the agree-
ment made on the 14th inst., with the Admiral of the
French squadron at anchor in the Tagus, that the ships of
war, Orestes and Urania, captured by the French
squadron, and which are now in the port of Brest, shall
be restored with all their effects, I have the honour to
inform your Excellency of the same, that you may take
the proper steps accordingly.

44 TO THE ROYAL BOA RD OF COMMERCE.

" It having been determined by Art. 18 of the agreement
made on the 14th inst. with the Admiral commanding
the French squadron at anchor in the Tagus, that Portu-
guese merchantment which have been captured and rent
to France, shall be restored with their cargoes, his Ma-
jesty the King, has been pleased to order that the Royal
Board of Commerce shall cause the same to be publicly
announced, that the persons interested may cause the.e
vessels to be conducted from the port of Brest where they
now are, to their proper destination, which your Excel-
lency will signify to the Board.

The LORD CHANCELLOR last night aban-
doned the Bill for the prevention of delays in
Chancery, which had been introduced by him on
Wednesday night, in consequence of the de-
cisive opinion of Lord ELDON, that the CHAN-
CELLOR had it in his own power to remedy the
defects complained of, without being compelled
to ask for additional legislative authority. The
Marquis of LONDONDERRY put some fresh en-
quiries to Government on the subject of the
recent reception of DONNA MARIA, to which
Lord GREY replied promptly and pertinently,
by assuring the Noble Marquis that he " had
found a mare's nest."

In the House of Commons Mr. GILLON
presented a petition from Linlithgow, complain-
ing of the slow progress of the Reform Bill, and
praying that Ministers would use all possible ex-
pedition, consistent with propriety, to facilitate its
passage through the House. In presenting this pe-
tition the Hon. Member took occasion to remark
on the great excitement at present existing
throughout Scotland, and added with much
energy that the spirit of the North was effectually
roused on the subject. After some desultory
discussions, of no very material importance, the
House went into Committee on the Reform Bill,
and schedule C was proceeded with. It was agreed
on that Wolverhampton and the Tower Hamlets,
and the Finsbury divisions, should remain in
schedule C. Mr. LITTLETON subsequently
moved that Stoke-upon-Trent be taken out of
schedule D, and placed in schedule C, which,
after some conversation, was negatived by a ma-
jority of 101. The question was then put that
the towns and boroughs, &c. enumerated in
schedule D return one Member each, to which
Lord MILTON moved, by way of amendment,
that " two" be substituted for " one." The
amendment was opposed by Sir F. BURD ET T
and supported by Sir It. PEEL, and finally lost
by a majority in favour of Ministers of 128.

A contest, we learn, is about to commence
shortly for the representation of Grimsby, the
former election for which town has been declared
void by a Committee of the House of Com-
mons. The popular candidate is Mr. MON-
TAGUE GORE, who is a staunch Reformer, and
in no little repute with the public, for an able
letter which he addressed some time since to
Lord PALMERSTON, on the subject of the
affairs of Poland. We hope this gentleman
will be returned for Grimsby ; he is liberal in
his principles, and eloquent in the enforcement
of them.
