Mr. CARTWRIGHT felt it his duty to call the
attention:o'f the :House to. this • Bill, the objed
.of
which was, to exempt the property to which it re-
ferred from the payment 'of the Poors'. Rate. At
the time that an Hon. 'Gentleman (Mr. Whitbread)
was_ taking measures to render personal property
More strictly the subje& 'of Peors' Rate, he was
really surprised at a pltoposition of the nature of
that which this Bill contained;and ihepreamble to
it was truly curious, namely, that:because the pro-
perty of this CoMpany was subjeEt to -soineklitiga-
tion in consequence of the Patin' Rate, it was ex-
pedient that it should be altogether exempted from.
such Rates.
Mr. PRAED said a. few words, but was quite in-
audible.
Mr. CAterwathaz persisting in his objeetion to
the Bill; a division was called for, which not being

,again
serving the Office of Treasurer of the Navy, or any
other Public Office. Read a first, and ordered to be

Mr. SHERIDAN said, that he had at, different titres
taken considerable pains to promote a' reconciliation
of the differences subsisting between the Masters
and Journeymen Calico Printers, to which be'knew
the latter to be sincerely disposed, and froM a hope
-that such. reconciliation would take place, he had
forborne to press any legislative measure 'upon the
spbjeEt. • But'finding all his efforts ineffectual, he
gave. notice, that •he would on:Monday • move for
leave to bring in a Bill for the settleMent: of this
bUsiness, and the 'removal of the grievances com-
plained of. • •

LONDON,
SATURDAy, mARCH 21, 1807.

Nkrz have reason, to :,believe that, in compliance
with HIS MAJESTY'S commands, the Duke (if POT-
LAND is employed in forming a New Administra-
tion; of which his Grace is to be at the head. The
arrangements, it is understood, will be completed'
early next week in the mean time we shall not in-
sult the understanding of our Reader's by laying be-
fore them any of the pretended Lists of the New
Administration which are in circulation, because they
are founded merely upon conjeaure—one of them
which we have seen states, that Mr. Baron Sur-.
TON is to be Solicitor-Cieneral ! Lord HARDWICKE,
left town early this morning, for the purpose of
waiting upon His MAJESTY at Windsor.

Tuts morning the arrival of the long expe&cd
Ship the Sarah Christiana, from Bengal, was an-
nounced at the Bast India House.

The Purser is not yet arrived with the Dispatches,
The Fame, extra Ship, we understand, is taken by
the French. - _

Wi are very sorry to state
.that a tendency to In.
surrefition has manifested itself among the Negroes,
in the Parishes of Portland and St. George, in the
of Jamaica. During the Christmas HolZys
- the condu& of the Negroes in 'those two PariSiies
was such as to create considerable alarniarnong- tho
Planters : every necessary precaution was immedi-
ately adopted, and the Ringleadc rs were apprehet; did,
but had not taken their trials when the last accounts
Came away ; we are therefore unablito state to what
extent the conspiracy was carried. It has, however,
been asFertaineclthat the Negroes had procured arms,
and that they had met frequentlydnring the night-time
for. the purpose of exercising. The Ringleaders who
have been arrested are what is called " Creole Ne-
groes." lii - one of the .Parishes• they are chiefly
French, and the vicinity of the other Parish to St.

Doming).
,has, we, have no .doubt, contributed in i4o
inconsiderable degree to this unfortunate event. '
