Dr. sTE Ek's OPODE_LDOC.
THIS MEDICINE; from its-extraordinary Efli
cacy, is justly entitled to the reputation it has so long
acquired above every other Pceparation of the kind. By' its
warm, penetrating and attenuating qualities, it. is found to
be the most powerful application in Rheumatism, SOn:stris,
and Palsies ; Ha also in Cramps, Bruises, . Sprains,
Scal(l3..fresh Cuts, and the Sting of Venomous I nseas ; it
is particularly recommended in Contusions, occasioned by
Gun-shot Wounds, and to refresh the Legs and Feet after •
long exercise in walking. It speedily removes Chilbains, •
and, if used in time, will prevent them from breaking, but
for this purpose it. should be diSsolved and applied warm.

HOUSE OF COMMONS,
WEDZIESDAY, FEB. I

Sir EVAN'NEPEAN' presented•a- Report from the
Committee to whom the Naval. Asylum Petition
was referred. Referred to a Committee "of the whole
House to-morrow. -
Mr. RoßsoN gave notice, that he would on this
day se'nnight move for the prodation of certain Pa-
pers relative to the Barrack Department in Great
Britain. He should also move, on the same day,
for Papers conneoed with the. Business of the Bar-
rack Department in Ireland ; and probably,, on the
same day, he. might also move for. Papers relative to
the Barrack department of our Colonies.
Mr. MANNING apprised'the House, that he should
think it his duty, on some convenient day after the
second reading of the Slave Trade Abolition' Bill, to
move for the House to go into a Committee for the
purpose of considering of the expediency of granting
Compensation to those Persons. who mayor by
the passing of that Bill into a law-.
Earl TENPLE gave notice,. that he would to-mor-
row move for leave to bring is a Bill for the further.
Regulation of the Business of PilotS in. Great Britain
and the Cinque Ports.
Cape of Good Hope Trade Bill was reported'
and ordered to be read a third time to-morrow.
Earl TEMPLE moved that the House do resolve .
into a Committee on the Report of the,SeleCt Com-
mittee to which the Sierra Leone Petition was re-
fered. The Report stated that it was expedient cer-
tain ri.,-hts now vested 'in the Company should, be
transfered to his Majesty. The Committee agreed
to the Report, the House' was resumed, and leave
grouted, tUbring in a Bill pursuant to the terms there-
of.

The Newfoundland and •Labradore Fishery. Bill
was read in a Committee;, the blanks filled up, and
the Report ordered to be received to-morrow. •
The Barrack 'Account Commissioners' Bill was
read a third time and pasSed.
Earl TwarLE obtained leaVe to bring in a Bill to
extend the Provisions of the yarn Importation Bill
to Yarn Made of Flak to be imported froth Gerrnany.
The Committee on the Mutiny Bill was postpon-
ed rn Tuesday-se'nnight.
Mr. BIDDULPH proposed that the name of Mr:
Ellison should be added to the list of 'persons ap!.
pointed as a Committee for the ptirpo.se of examin-
Ing into the Salaries and 'Emoluments annexed to
Public Offices. .
Mr. JJATHURST declared that he could not
avoid resisting a Motion of this nature. The Com,-.
tnittee. at present consisted of twenty-fwd instead of
twenty-one, the more usual number of Members.;
and, it the pra&ice of adding names to a select Com-
mittee were to be encouraged by the House accech
ing to the proposal of adding any name, hoWever
respedable, to a Corninittee already so numerous as
this was, instead of •sele6t, they would have almost
General Committees, when they were voted to be
seleEt ones, as every .other Member would have an
equal right to propose the addition of whatever per-
soli they might. think particularly qualified to serve
on that Committee then spoken of. If one was to
be proposed in the stead of another; however di's
agreeable it might be to their feelings, Gentlemen
must see that that would be a fair ground of dis-
•

cus,ion.
Mr. NICHOLSON CALVERT supported. the
Motion On the ground ofthe probability that some
of the Members might be absent from their duty at
the Committee, and adverted, to an instance where
he 'had seen. only one Hon: Member, Mr. Bathurst,
• actinc, in a Comtnittee-rocim.
..1117. BAT HURST explained to the House that he
was at that time engaged in making abstraas froth
the statements which were in the voluminOtts docti-
meats befiire the Committee. It would'he'perfeelly
nugatory for fourteen persons to attempt to perform
suet) a task. In this they could only suppose that he
afted as an assistant to the Clerk, and not that be
personated the Committee.
Lord HENRY PETTY reminded the House that
the Committee of Finance, whose labours were es-
teemed to be particularly advantageous to the pub-
Ho, and with whom the House was -most
lady well satisfied, consisted of only 15 Members; 1
and yet now that the plan was completely designed
before them, when the labour must necessarily have
been conSidertthly decreased, the House were to be
told that 22 persons were•noi equal to the task. The •
names had not been chosen by ballot; they were each
announced singly in an open manner to the House,
and were thus the polled representatives of the whole
body of the House. He appealed to the House
itself whether there was any possibility of there
being a Committee more impartially chosen ; they
were a seleOlion of the men most eminent for their
talent and independence 'within those walls, and
might be said to have been culled from every class
of men, except that
.class which most assuredly
the Hon. Gentleman could not think the best quali.!
fed for acing on a Committee such as that of which
they were then speaking—the class Of placethen he
meant. He had not, for his own part, the smallest ob-
jection to the Gentleman alluded to being one of the
Committee ; but then his name should have been
mentioned before a Committee of 22 persons were
actually chosen by the House.
Mr. JOHNSTONE declared, that the Noble
Lord had not satisfied his mind upon this head. The
thriller Committee, he agreed .with .the Noble Lord
in saying, had, discharged their duty in a manner
most highly creditable to themselves, and 'benefiCial
to the service of the public.. He had no doubt also,.
that the present Committee were as eminently qua-
lified as the Noble Lord had described, to perform.
the task assigned to them with honour and ability.
But still he thought it was rather hard that, after his
Hon. Friend had suggested the propriety of adopt-
ing a measure, though he unquestionably was not
so capable of supporting it as the Noble Lord was,
and though the Noble Lord entirely concurred with
trim, anct supported him in the main objea of his
Motion, with only some little variation of terms, he
•atill thought it was rather hard that his Hon. Friend
should not be allowed to name one person, for the
Committee. There had been instances of names
being added to the Seled Committee on many for-
Fier occasions.
Mr. 1P FREEMANTLE also bore testimony to
the iespeClability of the names of the present list ;
iu fittt lie could not ate that it was, possible to,seled

twenty-two tmore indeperseent, More capable, or
more honourable men. As to precedent, he did not
think
.that it was necessary to be resorted to in such
a case as the preSent; but even on the score of pre-
cedent, he understood that it. was contrary to the
established usage of the House to add any names
aftei• the complete appointment of a-Finance Com-
mittee.

The Gallery was then elearedfor 'but
we understand that the Motion was withdrawn..
The routine bUsiness of the day was then disposed
of, and the'House adjourned.

Loi D 0 .Ar,
fiIitIRSDAY,• FEBRUARY 12, 1807.

THE Expedition which sailed from-Falmouth' on
the loth O&ober, under Gen. CRAUFURD, arrived at
St. Jago on the 14th December, and sailed on, the
11th January, supposed to be going totind Cape
}Torn. The Troops were all in perfe& health. The
Ships bdund for Buenos Ayres left them on the 2d
January. •

THIS morning the Proposals of the different Par-
ties who wished to contras for the ensuing Lottery
were opened at the Treasury. The fb!lowing were
the biddings :
• : RICHARDSON, SWIFT, and Co. - 16 2 6
BEST and Co. 16 z 6
HENSLEY and Co, - - - 16 z 6
Corz and Co. - ;6 2 6
Tow coon and Co. - - 16 z 6
WALsn and NESBITT - 16 I

We understand that the Lords of the Treasury
had determined not to dispose of the Lottery under
161. tos. consequently none. of the above prOposals,
were accepted, and the bidding. was postponed.
If no proposition should .be made equal to the
sum expeeted by Government, it is, we belieVe, in-
tended that the Tickets should be sold to the Public
at the Bank.

WE have this day made some further -Extratis
from the Foreign PaperS which arrived on Tuesday
. • •
night. The French have for some time taken great
pains to prove that Turkey has declared War against
Russia. These Papers assert it- more positively than
evor ; but it is singular that the last French Bulletin,
which
,is dated the 19th January, should be silent
upon the subject}. If the Porte had declared War
against RuSsia on the 1 7th Decetnber;as it is stated,
it is more than probable that the fa& would have been
known at Warsaw' on the 19th ofJanuary. •But there
are other strong reasons which induce us very much tck
doubt the truth of this statement. The Squadron under
Admiral Louis, which is cruizing.at the entrance of
-the Dardanelles, and the Russian Army in Moldavia,
would, we think, prevent the-Turkish Government
from taking a decided part in favour of Fraike, even
if .it were so inclined. Indeed the article in. the
French Papers, dated Constantinople, is such an
evident fabrication, that it is wholly undeserving of
credit. If the French writers had been satisfied with
stating that the Porte had declared war against Rus-
sia; they might. have obtained some belief; but
when we are told of, the anxiety expressed. by
the Turkish soldiers to display their courage in
presence of the invincible NAPOLEON, &c.
we have no difficulty in ascertaining what degree of
credit is due to the statement. With respeta. to the
intelligence contained in the French Bulletins, we
have very little to add to the observations we have
already made upon them: The contradi&ion which
they give to General BENNINGSEN'S aCCOLUIt of the
battle of the 26th we fully expelled ; it Was not to
be supposed that BONAPARTE would acknowledge a
defeat, or even a check ;
.it is quite natural therefore,
that be should claim a vi&ory. But the point
which appears to us the -most inexplicable, is:the
assertion that General BuxnovuEm -was also de-
feated on the 26th December. There is reason to
apprehend that some unfortunate difference of opi-
nion prevailed. among the , Russian Generals, and it
is possible that Generals BENNTNGSN, and Btrx-
HOVDEN might not have been fully acquainted with
each others intentions and movements ; but it is dif-
ficult to suppose that General BEtsraticsEN- could,
have remained ignorant--for 24 hours that a great
battle bad been-fought within a few miles of him.
The expression in General iBENIONGSEN'S Letter,'
respe6lint Gen. .KAMENSKSI, is rather ambiguous.
We.-have reason.to believe that General KAmitsrsx.oi
returned Pctersburgh early in January, but whe-
ther lie had ' finally given up the'cominind Of. the
Army, or whether to propose. some Irrangement-re-
,.
spetaing the remainder of the Campaign, we do not
know ; but we are inclined to believe that the latter
was the feet. It is also stated, that General Ilux-
HUNTDEN has been recalled, and that. Prince 13,ton'A-
THION, who distinguished himself so much in the
short Campaign in 1605, has been appointed to suc-
ceed

.. .

One of the great. obje&s of the last Bulletins is.to
convince the people of France and the Army that
the rumours which were so confidently circulated of
the disposition of Austria to take a part in the War
against France, was not only unfounded, but that, in
fa&, the closest intimacy subsists bet Ween Austria
and France, and that the former is more like?y to
make a common cause with France thane to take
arms against her. These statements are not only
improbable in themselves, but are in dire& opposition
to all the accounts which ,have lately been received,
from Vienna. So far from having given any assent to
BONAPARTE'S progress in Poland, we are convinced
that that Cabinet has remonstrated most firmly upon
the subje&, and that it is owing to this interference
alone that he has hitherto refrained. from keeping
his promise of proclaiming the independence of
Poland.

THE observations of Lord HENRY PETTY,. -011
Tuesday evening, in acceding to the . substance of
the Motion proposed by Mr. 13innuLPFt, will excite_
the applause, and strengthen the confidence of those
who derived satisfa6tion from the assurance given
' on the part of the present Ministers,_ on their en-
trance into power, of their determination to exert
the utmost vigilance and economy in the application
of the Revenue. The earnestness with which the
same sentiments are still maintained, and the expe-
rienee already afforded of, their .pra6ical operation,
will impress a; general convi&ion that the Expendi-.
ture of the Country will undergo every feasible Reform:
and Retrenchment consistent with puplic faith and
justice, and compatible with the hollow, the safety,
and the interests of the Country. The policy and
duty of remunerating Services rendered to the State,
by Pensions or by Sinecure Offices, will not be queS-
tioned by, any person, in whose mind the prosperity
and glory of the Country are primary Considerations:
The task of investigating whether such grants_ are
duly confined within the limits of expediency may be
intrusted to Committees appointed at suc-
cessive periods hereafter for this purpose, and. such ob-
je6ts will constantly claim the watchful.attention.and.
superintendence of Parliament. The pra6tice ofgrant-
ing Offices in reversion, and particularly in cases where
the fees are augmented in proportion to theincrease of
expenditure, must tend greatly to perpetuate abuses,
a\ ndt has' therefore received the decided disapproba-
tionot the,present Administration. The declaration ,
of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, that no Re-

vet:3lons have in any instance been granted either in
Great Britain or 4reland•during the existence of the
present Government, presents a fresh proof that Mi-
' nisters have steadily maintained the system which
they pledged themselves: to , pursue, and furnishes
practical evidence that the :proposed Reform in .the
Adminiitration of the Finances will be prosecuted

with integrity, vigour, and consistency..
