Lord TEMPLE begged leave, pursuant to his
statement yesterday, to call the attention of the

whom he then sow in .his place. It would afford
pleasure to him. if -the Noble Lord's explanaLiOu
slmlld prove satisfaelory to 'the I-loose, and be should
content bin-I:self-with baying brought the matter iiti
der the Consieteratlon of-the flouse.7'

Lprd HENIV,I KER stated, that he had beensome
time since extremely indisposed, and on his re-
.,
establishment had punCtually attended his duty in
that House. A few days 'since he felt the symp-
toMs of his former complaint returning, and found
it necessary to consult a Physician, Dr. Reynolds,
who was of opinion that he could not safely attendi
to his duty, .as a Member of that House, on Eiec
f.on Committees.' The certificate stated that parti-
cular duty, but he did not consider himself as pre-
'chided from performing such other duties ;As he
could safely, and therefore he had attended:in his
place op the occasion alluded to, and given a' vote
which he should never regret.
Lord TEMPLE declared the statement of the Noble
Lord satistktory.

Lord JOHN ,%,I,Npisit, understanding that some
allusion was supposed to have been made to him on
the preieding day, as having.voted tinder similar cir-
-0 instances with the Noble Lord opposite, begged to
state, that he had obtained leave to go out Of Lon-
don on Friday, and on Lis return to town, attended m
Li his place, and voted on Wednesday: Hd mentioned
this to correct any misconception of the fad.

• POOR LAWS BILL

117 r. WH ITBR EAD moved the Order of the Day
for the re=commitment of the ,Poor Laws. Bill ; and
also that it be an instruelion to the Committee that
they have power to divide the Bill into two or more
Bills.—Ordered. Before he moved that the SPEAKER
shohld leave the Chair, Mr. WHITBREAD recapitu-
lated his statement, on a former night, of the parts
he'intended to leave out of the measure, and also
tfiat he proposed to have the Bill divided into four
Bills. The two first he should feel it his duty to
press during this Session ; the two others he should
suffer to lie over till 'next Session. The first Bill was
to provide for the education of the poor ; the second
'vas to . provide a Relaxation of, the Law of Settle-
ments,_ to contain some after enactments of the ori-
ginal Bill for the Regulation of Vestries, to authorise
theexemPting of certain Cottagers from the opera-
lion of the Poor Rates, at their desire ; to provide
rewards for industribus Labourers, and to encourage
parishes to build Cottages, to, be lett at'reduced rents
to Cottiv'ers. The 3d and 4th Bills, which he pro-
posed to let lie over till next Session, were, for,the
Estiblislilfiefit Of 'Parochial Funds, .and. an Asiurance
Fund, and to 'make a Regulation of the County
Rites.. Having stated thus much, he should move,
that the St,E-At,‘t,fit do now leave the Chair.
On the motion being put,
Wr. C UItiVEN felt it to be his duty to state, that
he did not think the Bill would'he effethial.to its
ohjeCt, 'either by diininishing the Poor Rates, or
improving the condition of the poor. The ,exeMp-
lion of the cottagers would .thrOW an' accumulated
b.urthen upon the little shopkeepers. He objeeled
• to.. the mode 'proposed:of ecivallizing the County.
Rates, and concluded by recommending the estab=
iihrnent of Benefit SoCieties, to whose fund the
Parish-should contribute a certain proportion, as the
best mode of arresting, the accumulation of the Poor
. ,

Mr. PLOMER was of opinion, that the Poor
Rates, if well and proPeriy administered, Were fully
adequate to the support of the •Poor, and of a Sys-
tem for their Education. He did not think it necessary
tO abrogate the existing Poor LaWs, because he was
persundel-tlidt an amelioration in the,mode of adtui-
oistering theirs would. fully answer the purpose.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER sug-
gested the prilpriety of letting the Bill go into the
Committee, in order ..that the Hon. MOver might,
have an opportunity of. bringing. it out of the Com-
mittee in the form in which he wished to submit
his measures to the consideration of the
House.
This would divide the consideration of the .eomPli-
cated Tiestion, and save a great deal of observation.
After. this proceeding, he hoped the Hon. 'Member
would have no objection to give the House an op-
portunity of considering each of the distin& Bills, by
consenting to their recommitment.
Mr. WHITBREAD-acquiesced in- this course; and
ffer obseryations. from Mr. Fellowes, Mr.
Patti Son, '.Mr. D. Giddy, Mr. Parnell, Mr. Shaw
Lerevre, and. Mr.-Windham, the House resolved

itself into a Committee on the Bill • mr. Erobhuuse
in the Chair..

.; A.desultdry,conVersation took place in the corn-
mince,' partly as to the course to be followed, and
paTtiiion the merits of the measure. It was at length
agr.lvq; on the suggestion of Mr. Wilberforce, that
. Mr. Whitbread should be allowed in that instan'ce,
to.divide the original 'lill.,
and carry the separate
Tills, through'the Conarnittee in the form in which
hp, visited thetn.,,to bear., as afterwards they could
their .16
each be discussed on cotn
the' question for
mit merit, or on the' Report.
The several Bills- were then passed through pro
forma; and on the House being resumed,
they were
severally reported, and the Reports ordered to be
taken into further consideration on this day se'rinight.

PLACES IN REVERSION.
Mr. BANKEs brought up a' Bill to prevent. the
granting of Offices .in Reversion, or for Joint Lives,
with Benefit' of .`i.urvivonihip ; • read a first-time, and
ordered to.be read a second time on Tuesday ne.xt.
The Traders',Asseis Bill and the Oak Bark Bill
.were :severally reported, and Ordered to. be read a
third time on Monday next.
The other'Ordcrs of the Day were then disposed
of, and the House adjourned till Monday:

From Ike FRENCH and DUTCH PAPERS.

PARIS, APRIL 11.---Tne news from Constanti-
nople, given .in the Aloniteur; do not come lower
down than tile 26th of February. Letters of the
9th of
,March have been received from that city,
' which mention, that the English had re-passed the
Dardanelles. They returned on • the 3d;alter re-
ceiving a smari'fire from the batteries. These„ let-
ters also 'mention; that the Grand Signior had issued
orders for seizing all the English property, and for
prohibiting English merchandize of all kinds through-.
out the whole extent of. the Ottoman Empire.—
(Journ'al do l'Empire.)
On the .4th of next month, and, the following
days, one • hundred and thirteen Prussian vessels,
seized in the ports of Bourdeaux and Livourne, will
be put tip to sale at 'the Exchange in the, first of
these towns.

Lettefs from Bayonne announce, that E.7,oooSpa-
'niarti,wlll. gobri pass Ciroosh Iho French territory,
on their way ro join the French Army in the Vene-
tian Provinces. Of,thesc, 13,000 are to pass through
perpignan, and 1,000 through Bayvnue,

4-PRtt, 7.--The Official Paper of this day contains
theitarticulars Of the sentence pronounced on, the
4th inst. by a Military Commission; appointed' by.
his Excellency the Governor of Paris, in virtue of an
Imperial Decree of the 21st of March, which una-
nimously condemned to death CHARLES *SAMUEL
VUITEL, twenty-seven years of age, born at Neuf-
chatel, in Switzerland, calling himself, a merchant,
but afterwards confessing 'that he was an. Officer in
the Swiss regiment of Meuron, accused of being a
spy, and of being employed to forward the crinit-
nal designs of the English Government. The-sen-
tence contains no other particulars of this affair.—
The following 'we copy from one of our Journals
." VUITEL, in his examination of the 4th and sth
of last month before the Counsellor of State, Prefect
of the Police, declared that he was in the employ-
ment of the English East India Company: that he.
left London on the 6th of February, in consequence
of orders from Lord HOWICK,. Secretary for the' Fo-
reign Department ; that he was taken by his uncle,
FRANCHE BOREL. to Lord Howicata who after re-
presenting to him the dangers of the service in
which he' was going to engage, sent him away,
when he found he was resolved to brays them, tell;-
ing him that FRANCHE BOREL should give him in-
strudions concerning -what, in his capacity of spy,
lie was to do at -Paris. , This confessien he - repeated
hefore the Military Commission, adding that he was
a Lieutenant in the Swiss regiment of Menron, 'in
the service of the King of England; that he was only
an Ensign in the same regiment in the beginning of
February, and that the Lieutenantcy was given him
as a recompence for the Service he was about to
render to England.
" It is universally known, that this FRANCHE Bo-
EEL and his brother were bankrupt several years
ago. 'Without credit or resources they endeavour to
make dupes every where. Were it not for the ex-
ample of Mr. DRAKE, we could scarcely conceive
how Lord Howlett. could place the least confidence
in such impostors., It is however taue, that they
persuaded him that they kept up' a correspondence
with , Ministers and crowned Head's."
CHARLES
YUITEL was shot in. the plain. of • Grea
nelle, at four o'clocla in the afternoon of the day:on.
which he was condemned.
Letters from Granville mention, that six English
Ships of the Line and two Frigates have, during
some days, been constantly in 'sight of Granville and
St. Maio,
TalE6l3, MARCH 19.—Our port continues block-
aded by the English. frigates, and to all appearance it
is not likely to be soon raised. The merchanta
have made fresh:repreaentations to. Government on
this subject.
ENtcE, MARCH 29..—A letter of the tad of
February,. from Scardona, mentions that some ttneaa:
SiIRMS is excited in the neighbourhood of Spalatro,
by some vessels whose crews are composed' partly
of Russians and partly of inhabitants of the mouths
Of the Cataro On the 15th of that month there
was an engagement, which continued two -hours,
between a Russian corvette and the two forts which
defend the town. The corvette would certainly
have been taken, were it not for a favourable breeze
which sprung up. 'Some houses near the beach
were damaged ; the other parts of the town sustain-
ed no injury.
ZAI:A, MARCH 14.--Official Notification has
been made to the Governor of this province, on the
part of the Austrian Government, that a Convention
has been concluded between his Majesty the Em-
peror of the French, King of Italy, and his Majesty
the Emperor of Austria, King Hunaary'and -Bo-
hemia, for the passage of French and Italian troops
through the Austrian territory, whenever they can-
not pass by sea to Italy. The respective Plenipoten-
tiktries on this occasion were, General ANDREOSSY
on the part of France, and General BELLEG.tRDE on
the part of Austria. This treaty tiaes and eataa
blishes every particular relating to the quarters, sub-
sistence, and carriage. The price of each article 'IS
particularly expressed.
PARIS, APRIL 10.—The following notice has been
printed, and posted by order of the Pretea of the
department of the Seine
All the young citizens of the departmenaof the
Seine, constituting the class of the Conscription of
1808. ;.that is to say,-all those born- between the Ist

of January, and .the 31 st of December, 1788, both
inclusive, are required to present themselves, b'efore
the.LOth of May, at their MtiniLipalniesi to. have

. -
their. names put on the list of ConscriptiOn."
Letters from Naples of the 27th ult. mention, that
the King'set out on 'the 22d, for Foggia, where a
camp is.to be formed.

PARIS, APRIL .774 Decree, published at _Oster-
odeon the 52,0 th of March, orders .the forniation of
five Legions of, Reserve, for the protection of the
fiontiers.and coast. Each legion is to consist of six'.
battalions, each battalion of eight companies, find
each'company of one hundred and sixty meri, in-
cluding officers. The five legions of reserve are to
befilled from the Conscription of 1808. A Second
Decree appoints Senator COLAUD commander of the
first Legion ; ST. SUZANNE, of the Second ; Do-

moNT, of the third ; LABOISSIERE, of the fourth.;
VALENCE, of the filth. By two Decrees of the
26th of March, Brest and Antwerp are both deela'r-'.

ed in a state of siege.
CONSTANTINOPLE, MARCH s.—Relative to the
departure of the English Pleet, conjeaure is almost

at -a
loss. When tlTe Fleet first stood off towards
the mouth of. the Black Sea, it was supposed to be

with the, intention of attacking and 'forcing • that
passarre,, as well as the passage of the Dardanelles.
Whether the freshness of the .breeze .from 'the.Ni?rth

was thought likely to increase the danger of the
passage to the Black Sea, or whether the: English
dreaded the effed of the batteries raised by Baron ,
DE TOTT in 1773—whether they wanted water and
provisions, or waited for fresh orders, or a junction
with the Rus4ians, all is uncertain. However it
may have happened, we heartily rejoice at the delay.
Every day diminishes our apprehensions, and in-
creases our means of defence; fig in case the Eng-
lish Fleet should' return, and carry the thrvat
bombardment into execution;we shall be ready to
receive'them with red-hot balls, furnaces being pre-
pared for that purpose. Both the Eastern and
Western Shoes of the Channel are occupied by our
Asiatic troops, which were very fortunately on :their,
way to the Grand "Army:. Qur new Captain Paella
has determined upon an at of intrepidity, which
can only be ascribed to his •zeal for the salvation of
this city. In fad, lie has put to sea with between
and f?,o. Sail, designedly to seek the English,

•gi‘e them battle. This determi.lat'o:i will, in nil
probability, involve the whole of our Fleet in certain
destrudlion ; but at the' same time the damage th*
English' may receive, and the impossibility of getting
repaired in this quarter, will probably induce them
to give up their design. of destroying this Capital, or
. influencing the Councils of the eivan in favour of
Russia. Besides, it is not impossible that the Eng-
lish Fleet, getting into the Sea of Marmora, may, in
Consequence of unfavourable winds, he unable to
return. The batteries on the Canals are under the
diret-tion of French Officers. ,Sir SIDNEY SMITH is
generally supposed to have been the proposer of the
plan for destroying our capital.
ROTTERDAM, APRIL 14.—1 n a letter nom Con
stantinople, of the 9th of March, it is stated, that as
soon as the English Ambassador had withdrawn,
General SEBASTIAN/ waited upon the Grand Vizier,
and assured him of the necessity' of fortifying the
capital, as the Dardanelles were not calculated to
resist the attacks of the English. The plan of de-
fence proposed by General SEBASTIAN! was adopt-
ed, and the workmen began upon it on the lath
of February, but with the indolence peculiar to the
Turks. However, the sight of the Enemy
.since
that period has given new animation to all their
efforts.
The Grand Seignior has sent a pelisse- to the
Greek Patriarch, an honour which no Christian. has
ever enjoyed before ; but it is still More remarkable
that the Seraglio, a place into which4•no stranger has
ever been adtnitted further than the Ambassadors'
hall. of audience, is now thrown open to the French,
and the workmen ; a circumstance unprecedented ha
the annals of-Turkish *history.
VENICE, MARCH 19.—ft appears. tlAt hostilities
will very shortly commence on this side of the Adri-
atic Gulph, particularly by sea. Three large' Gun-
boats, built upon a new constralion, to carry 44-
pounders and carronades, 'were launched in Fe-
bruary. Two Brigs, to carry sixtccii 24-poundets, •
will be launched in a few days ; and some floating-
batteries are also forming for the defence of this
port. General C2ESAIf 'BEBTHIER has arrived, and
;joined the Army in the Frioul.

FRANKFORT, APRIL s.—ln one of the Vienna.
Papers, of the 25th ult. the following Letter appears
from Poland :—" Believe none of the rumours of
battles.and defeats ; for at this present tithe it is,im-
possible to fight.' The ground is so soft, that' it' is
almost impossible to go from one house to another
without being up to the knees.' The rain, and the
inundajons have probably rendered this country
impassible till the middle of Atly ; for so long the
wet season frequently continues. Perhaps, in the
interval between that and the present time, the
Belligerent Powers may come to a good understand-
ing, otherwise- the first battle will probably be
dreadful and decisive.-

--They write from Panczowa, that a violent affray
has taken place at Belgrade, between the ServianS
and the Janissaries : thelatter were almost all killed,
as well as their Pacha.

CExTRACT'OP A LETTERI
CONSTANTINOPEE, FEB. 12.—1 am at this" too,
meat the only Englishman at Constantinople,--*
.Most likely, betbre you receive this, you will have
heard the manner in which the Ambassador an 4
Factory disappeared. On Thursday, the, Egth ult.
Mr. AtuntrxtmoT sent to the Porte to demand a
Firman or Passport, for a Courier he wished to
dispatch Admiral Louis, which was roused
him. He looked on this refusal a, almost amountif,
ing to a Declaration of War, and having at the samO
time been informed it was the intention of the
Turks to detain him, the Enda taion Frigate, and all
the English here, as securities against any attempts
Of an English Fleet against their Capital, he request!.
ed Captain CAh.. to invite all the -English to dine
ori.bOard the '4?.4dinion, where they accordingly rq-
paired in foil: dress, and were then informed they
could have no Ititore. co m munidation with' the shore.,
as it was the ittention, as soon a); it was dark, to
slip cables and escape. They s ere, therefore, obliged
to go away; leaVing'tbeir affalWand- houses in con-
fUsion, without* a change. of :linen, and many
without any Motley. 1 .happened to be indisposed
that clay, and sent an excuse for not being able. to
dine on board. I have now obtained the Danish
protection, therefore; quite in Safety. War
is not yet declared.' The Anitrassador, some days
previously to his departure, had 'put several questions
to the Porte, to.Wriich'he required. written answers;
the Princip4question, I believe, was, whether Tut-.•
key would enter into an alliance with England-and
Russia against France ? The French influence is at
present such, that there is'no doubt the Porte will
give a negative. answer,.especnilly as two or three
French Couriers-have lately arrived, bringing the in-
telligence of the French having gained great advan-
tages over the Russians in Poland, in three succes-
sive battles, atyJnt the 20th December. SEBASTIAN!
has 'behaved in a handsome trianiler: The day after
the departure of Mr. ARBUTHNor, he sent a Drago-
man round to all the English Ladies to assure them
both -their persons and property were in perfect
safety, and if any of their husbands had ref-wined
behind, 'he would ans.ter fir their safety likewise :
as a Nation he would do England all the injury in
his power, but it was unworthy the Representative
of the Great Nation to distress individuals.

We stated several days ago, that BONAPARTE had
ale a proposition to the KING of SWEDEN for an
:Ixistiee, and at the same time we 'expressed
,ipinion that the object of BONAPARTE, in making
Cl 4: overture, was • to set at liberty that part of his
my employed in Swedish Pomerania; and to march
1_1(o. Poland. This opinion has been fully confirm-
i:•! by the conduEt of the French upon the refusal of

ivtreated out of Swedish Pomerania with all possible

thrir retreat was not effcaed without considerable
loss.

. Government this morning received some accounts
Coin Poland, of a very late date, which state that no
42'.11)4 of any consequence had taken place, that the
ans were continually receiving teinrorcementg,
audit was expeEted that they would begin to 'COM

t) raise .the Siege of Dantzic, and it is probable that
the French will risk a general aaion befote they

.
19rced with 6000 men; they have. nade several suc7
ncssful sorties, and have driven the French frotn,the

konigsburgh is open.

WE received this morning ilmerican Papers to the
12th of March. It appears that the Treaty was not
rejected by the Senate, for it was riot submitted to
their consideration by the President, who has taken
upon himself the whole responsibility of sending back
the Treaty to this country.. We have trade, some
interesting Extrads from these Papers upon this silt).

.It has been industriously rumoured these two days
that Mr. CA KING. had resigned his office, in con-
4csquence of a wish having been expressed of intro.
clueing LOrd Stimorru into the Cabinet. We are
enabled to state positively, that there is no foundation
whatever for the report.

Lieutenant COOMBE, WllO, in the command of
the Galatea's boats, so heroically boarded and. took
the French Brig Le Lynx, is deservedly promoted,
by the new Board of Admiralty, to the rank ofsMas-
