CORN.

The deep interest which .every member of the
coninumity has in the various regulations which
may from time to time be adopted respecting the
impartation or supply of corn, makes us think it
will be acceptable to the public to be made ac-
quainted with the following Resolutions which
have been recently adopted by the House of Com-
mons, on this important subject.
I._ That it is expedient, that an Act, made in
the 44th year of the reign of his present Majesty,
intituled, " An Act to regulate the Importation
and Exportation of COrn, the Bounties and duties
payable thereon ;" and also an Act made in the
45th year of the reign of his present Majesty, for
explaining and amending the said Act at` Cue 44th
year, be repealed : except only solar as the', said
Act of the 44th year repeals any part of an Act,
made in the :31st year of the reign of his present
Majesty, intituled, " An Act for 'the regulating
of the Importation and 'Exportation of Corn, and
the payment of the Duty on Foreign Corn import-
ed, am! of the Bounty on British Corn exported."

of tbc orders of his Majesty the Emperor, and

of franks

4. Itepartitiening Cummissoners shall be named by us, on

It is with great pleasure we icier to our Naval
News for an account of the safe arrival of the
homeward-bound Leeward Island Fleet. This
valuable convoy, consisting of upwards of two
hundred vessels, reached soundings "all well," on
the list, and were proceeding up Channel, laden
with wealth, industry, and commercial enterprize,
tinder the protection of the Cumberland man of
war, This intelligence is' rendered the more gra-
tifying front 'the-invention and, propagation by the
Party Prints, a few days ago, of a malicious un-
founded rumour, that " Commodore RODGERS had
intercepted-the hoMeward-bound Leeward Island
fleet, and captured a number of the vessels;"--
which. fabrication, however, they Crete good
enough to tell the Publie'onght not to be believed,
for that the falsehood was .written solely for the
purpose of, enabling, them to say—the apprehen-
sions of the Public arose-from the known alacrity_
of the American crulzers, and the deplorable in-
attention of the English Admiralty. On the pre-
sent occasion, however, it appears that the known
alacrity of oar enemies, thus loudly trnmpetted,
did, not succeed, au,d that .the deplorable' inatten-
tion of, our BtutesinFn,
,thustrintnphantly pro-
itifordetf s9flicient. security to the, trans;
port across the 11 tlikptia of this Hell and plentiful

- A Paper,, whose devotion to the cause of our
enemies is pretty palpable, has this morning
-rather out-stepped the modesty of its nature, by
stamling forward " demi:officially" as the VIN-
DICAToIt of DENMARK The document, of which
the first part is published to,:day, (the second not yet
being got 'ready) is entitled .ankh Vindication,
.and purports to be extracted from the Danish
State Gazette. le is somewhat singular that
This Gazette has hot yet been seen by
other'lyes--:-that the paper should be written in
an unofficial style--s hat it should allude to de-
clarations made by 'Ministers in Parliament, which
smack of being listened to lust Friday night—that
it should state the insertion of articles in the Bri-
tish Gazette, which are precisely as imaginary as
we take this whole pretended Danish Gazette to
be in fine, •that it should resemble,. in every
point, the flimsy manner, inaccurate language,
injurious opinions, and impudent mis-statements,
of the Print in whicli" it 'makes its first. appear-.
ance.

Front these considerations, we lament to say
-that we look upon this demi-official document to
be a forgery fabricated in ,London, and imposed
upon the credulity of the .editor of this Journal.
Should it prove otherwise, we shall he happy to
controvert the fallacies it advances, and repel the
abuse-with which it overflows ; but should we be
right in our conjecture, as to the Certificate of
origin; which appears to be most suspicious, we
will not put ourselves to the trouble of answering
arguments which we have already been so success-
ful in beating down, thttt their writer has not a
word to soy for himself. One hint more, acid we
have dtmc—Lis there any Danish agent in London
who, though not accredited to Government, may
be accredited to the Opposition and their organ ?

We,have already stated, that the late arrivals
from Germany brought no formal notification of
the Armistice, .or invitation to Congress, to
nar Government. It is most likely,
however,
that such eptimmnications will shortly be re-
ccived, in which event it is said, that Lord
