Mr. ADAM MO*, according to not;ce, that tire
Order of the Day tbr hearing the Aberdeen Petition
be Ocharged, an4that-said Petition be heard Upon
l'hUtsdiy, the •2611 t March.
EpS saki„ hat after the rule laid down
by' the House in the case of the Thetford Petitjon,,
he could-not consistently vote for delay in this case,
where no reason. whatever •was specified.
• Mr. Anot, did not state a special reason, as, he
thdught the mere mention of the mkne of the county,
sufficient. It was 'the usage of that House., the
case of Scotch Petitions, to grant a further, day
whenever applied for, and the reasons fo.r such pe-
culiar indulgence were obvious, the distance of the
country, the necessity of bringing up Agents acid
Barristers -conversant- in the Law of Scotland. pie,
rested his motion, upon the usage of that House in all
cases of Scotch Petitions.
Mr. DUNDAS agreed with the- Learned Mover,
and gave as an, additional reason, that the Lawyers
would be employed at the Sessions in Scotland at the
time now, fixed for- hearing this Petition.--,-Ordered
to be heard on. the 20th March.
'On the Motion of Mr. FRERMANTLE.?,t4e House
went into a Committee of Supply, on *the Annual
Indemnity Qualification, and EXChe9net Loan Bills.
Report concerning each ordered to, be received to-
morrow.
Mr. IVILPSRE. begged leave to.. 'Alt the Right
Hon. Secretary (Windham), why among the name);
of those Officers honoured with the thanks'of that
House for contributing to the vi6tOry of Maida,lhat
. ,
Of Colonel Oswald was omitted ? •

. ,
Mr. /P/A7D/L4,31 replied, that considerable as
were the claims of that:gallant Officer to special.ho-
(ice, he was yet below t 4 rank to-which the stria-
ness of precedent confined the mention of flames.
Afr: IVIATGFIELD presented a Petition frorp cer;-
tain of the Ejectors of Penrhyn; praying that the
time for entering' into the necessary recOgninces.
_might be enlarged. He said that, by the 2kiii of
the King, cap. 52. Petitioners were required to en-
ter their recognizances.within fourteen days, but that
the same Act granted a discretionary power to that,
House .to enlarge that titue, if the reasons 'specified
were found to be satisfactory. In this case tecog-
nizan'ces had been entered into,
,but were objected
to on the ground that they were.enicred into before
the Petition itself' was presented. This was pro-
ductive of unforeseen delay, and he therefore thought
that the time for receiving the Same should be en-
larged.
_ _

Mr. SwAN thought it necessary tomention to the
House, that the signatures to this Petition were the
names of three labouring' men, one -of whom r'ii4d
given him the honour of his 'vote, though he could
not now account for this change in his good wishes.
Mr. PERCIVAL was afraid that this motion went to
'establish a general principle of granting the indul—
gence ola distant day to all parties who were placed
an any embarrassing situation, in consequence of
their ignorance of the necessary_ forms.
The SPEAKER wished .to know from the Hon.
Gentleman, whether the Motion he was about to
sulainit to the klouse had for its objeet the relief of
the parties in this case petitioning, or of all that
may hereafter be similarly circumstanced ?
Mr. WINGFIELD had no farther obje& than the
ielief of the parties now before the House, and
moved that the time for entering into their recog-
nizances be enlarged to ten days.—OrdeiTd-that the
said Petitioners do enter into their recognizance on
or before Monday, the Igth January.

Mr. YANSITTART moved that the Resolutions of
that House upon the first day of the month be now
read. Read accordingly; and leave given to ,bring
in a Bill pursuant to the same resolutions. Com-
mittee of Ways and Means on Monday.—Adjourtied.

SATURDAY, jiNuAlty-

The Fervent Gun-brig arrived at Plymouth on
Thursday from Gibraltar, with Dispatches from
Lord COLLINGWOOD. The' Enemy had withdrawn
into the inner harbour of Cadiz, and did not shew
any disPbsition to venture Out. A report had reached
Gibraltar of the French having been defeated in
Calabria. We fear, however, that it is unfounded
for Government have- received Dispatches from
• . .
Geueral Fox,•dated.th-6- I 6.oNoVenibers, and at that
time certainly no A4ion had taken place.
_ •
Governinent have also. received Dispatches from
Lisbon; of the 08th ult. which do not contain any
confirmation of the re-capture of BhenosAyres ; we
. ,
are therefore 'confirmed in the opinion which we
before expressed respecting the safety' of that im-
portant accoisition.

Several of the private Letters which have been
received from the Continent state, that BONAPARTE
had been obliged, -by indisposition, -to leaVe his
army, and that he had, returned to Paris, These
Letters speak so confidently upon the Subje6l, that
the report obtained general credit in the City this

morning:

WE this day lay before our Readers the Pr4ia.7
matiori of the KING of PitessiA, containing•his rt4a-
sons for refusing to ratify the Armistice Which was.,
concluded in .4rovember last:: In some parts of this
Proclamation his Prussian Majesty displays a ddgreeOf
4rrrines and fortitude worthy the descendant 'of the
Great FUEDERIC. trust that he will adhere firm-
ly to the resolution which he has §o nobly forin-
.Fd. He must 120 W be. convinced, by de,ar-1?0,py,14

c:perieno, -that cances,ion,- and even servility,
to .France afford no Sectiri4y fr6m- her aggressions.
• It ;s Obvious that BoNAPA WiE hoped to realize his
plan of conquering the, Colonies in the East and.
West Indies' on the plains of Brandenhurgh .and
'Poland ; and to use his victories ;over Prussia as
the.tneans of compelling Great- 'Britain and RuSsia
to conclude a Pea"ce with him on his own terms. His
plan howeyer.failed ; indeed as the PrOclaination
staies, “, If ainy-,alternative rinained for . procur-ing
Peace, it 'was ;that of. perfbrming' impossitilitks,
since BONA.PARTE had resolved to keep the Prus-
sian States in PaWn • and ;make no Peach unless
by extorting, as the price of evacuating them, from
England, all.the Dutch; Spanish, and French Colo-.
pies; arid, froni nussia, Conditions respeeiing' 'the .
Porte."

on the ).oth November, will aUo be found in-

yes-

WE stop the Press to communicate to our Read-
ers the following Intelligence respecting the Expe-
dition under General CRAUFURD, which is the more
satisfa&ory, as some apprehensions were enter-
tained for their safety.
EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM LISBON) DATED 27TH

DECEMBER, 1896.

" Gen. CRAUFURD'S Expedition passed Madeira
on the 7th December, all well. The object of it
was not then known.

" The Nereide Frigate had carried into Madeira
a Spanish Corvette, laden with arms, ammuni-
tion, and Officers (French and Spanish), bound to
the Caraccas ; the capture of which Vessel may
be regarded as a fortunate circumstance."

Their MAJESTIES are expeded on Wednesday,
next at the Queen's HouSe, where they will remain
till after the Birth Day.,
His Royal Highness the PRINCE of WALES passed
above an hour with his charming daughter, the
PRINCESS CHARLOTTE Of WALES, on Wednesday
evening, to congratulate her on her Birth-day: His
Royal Highness entertained a select .party after-,
wards at Carleton Rouse.

The Privy Council, we understand, have finally
pronounced upon the charges lately preferred against
General PICTON by. colonel FULLARTON, and decided
that there is no real ground for the accusation thus
preferred.—The case of the girl who was put to the
torture, however, remains to. be re-argued in the
Court of King's Bench.
A General Conrt.,Martial assembled on Wednes-
.day, at Chelsea Hospital, of which Lieutenant-Ge-
iieralAßAßlN is the President, .for the trial of Capt..
DAVIS., of the First Lite Guards, on charges exhi-
bited against him by Colonel BRADSHAW, of the
same Regiment. The evidence on the part of the
Prosecution closed on Thursday ; and the defence
was entered upon,..wllich was expe6ted.to closeyes-
terday. I'4p Members of the Court are composed,
of the 'Household Troops, it being a privilege pecu- •
liar to these Corps, that they can .only_ be .tried by
Officers of their own establishment.
• 'The first battalion of the 6th Regiment of Foot
moved on. Thursday from Dover to Deal barracks.
,The 'Fifeshire Militia is also under orders to
move from Dover into the •SUSS:2i distrift, and com-
menced its march by the coast. on Tuesday.
A-farther- change of quarterg of the troops in the.
Kent distrid, arising from the late movements,
took place in the course of the present week. The
Renfrew Militia moved from Ashford to the Sussex
distrift, and the Denbigh Militia 'from Ashford. to
Dover. The Renfrew were expe&ed to commence
their march yesterday.
It appears, from our Bath Letter, that the report
of the Bishop of London being,seriously indisposed
in that city, is without foundation.
Two young Gentlemen, the one the son of a city
merchant,, and the other, an artist, met to fight a
duel on Thursday, near Ealigg, but their intentions
having transpired, information, which led to the pre-
vention of the duel, was given to the. Police, and one-.
of the young men was held in sureties ta.keep-the
peace.. ,

About .five minutes before twelve o'clock, on
Wedpesday se'nnight, as the ringers of Bodi4in,.
iu 411:37;ex, were about to usher in th.r:leW,yeaCwith
a merr/ peal, the. frame-work, of one of the bells
g-lve way, and discharged its heavy burthen; which
tell with an alarming crash among the ringerS-; and
broke to pieces, but fortunately without causing the
smallest hurt tq tithe; of them.
