LEGAL TENDERS IN IRELAND.

Lord CASTLEREAGEI preSented a petition from the
inhabitant's of Belfast and its neighbourhood, pray-
ing the extension of the Bank NOte Leg2l Tender
BIN to Ireland. The Noble Lord observed, that
his Right Hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, had given notice of his intention to bring
in a Bill for continuing -the /ICI of last year ❑pon
the subjeCt, which had omitted Ireland' in its opera-
tion, from a conviaion that in the then state of
things it was impossible to extend the-provisions of
the Bill to that kingdom. Since then the liberality
of the landlords had applied relief to the causes
which prevented the adoption of the measure, and
his Right Hon. Friend' intended to 'propose the
extension of the Bill he was about to move for, to
Ireland.

Mr. W. POLE begged to say a few words upon
the subje6t. It appeared to him that the people of
Ireland would be exposed to the most serious incon-
veniences, if the all alluded to by his Noble
Friend was not extended to that country. The reason
why his Rigle Hon. Friend (Mr. Perceval) did not
include Ireland in the Bill last year, was, that it was.
brought forward at so late a period of • the. Session,
that there were very few of the Irish Members pre-
sent. He had returned to Ireland last year before
the Bill was brought in, or he certainly should have
proposed to have extended it to Ireland. The
Irish Government, however, would have negle&-
ed its duty, if it had not turned its atten-
tion to a s.ubjed which so materially affeeled
the interests of the people of that country, and they
did communicate with hiri Right Honourable Friend
upon the subject ; but in the absence of almost
all the Members for Ireland, his Right Honour-
able Friend did not think it expedient to adopt a

,measure of so much importance to that
With regard to. the payment of rents fu'lre!:. ki,
hegpd to st'i'rs that a great diversity: titev:l,lo.!; In
some gases hndiords had aotett ;vith greet liberality
towaro. then- tenants, and in of hers .act
their raids in the most rigid madnter ; and the (acct
was, that at this moment in three carts of • Ireland
Batik-notes were taken _at their regular 'yalue,
whereas in the other they lost above ,';() per cent.—.
It, therefore, appeared to him that the subjec)., as
far as was concerned, should be considered,
and the c.lyatttftge enjoyed in England should bet
extended to that part of the Kingdom.
Mr. STEWARD approved_ of the melsine, .
The Petition Was accordingly tead;aod l'aid on thin
table. , - • , , • • •

FRENCH LICENSES.

It has already been stated, that the Board of Trade
had refused to comply with so moth of the terms
of the French Licenses as specified that exportations
were first to be made from France before any im-
portation from England should be admitted. On,'
this subject several appliCations have been made to
the Board of Trade by the merchants interested in
the commerce wi►h France. Yesterday the appli-
cations were renewed, when the Board of Trade
came to an arrangement, with which the merchants
appeared satisfied; of which these are the con-
ditions :

To admit ale following articles to be imported
from any port between the ri'et Ems and Caen,
provided that the vessel in which they are imported
is of 100 tons burthen or upwards.
Articles allowed to be imported :—Cheese, seeds,
fruits, bristLs',' clinkers, threads and tapes, perfu-
mery, silks throWn and organized, linens, lawns,
cambries, lace, quicksilver, rushes, linen flax and
yarn, jewellery, bronze, and bunks.
The articles when imported are to be warehoused
under the joint lock of the Crown and the merchant;
until the counter exportation shill have been made,
conformably to the conditions prescribed'and made
known by Government.
With respect to the staple commodities of France,
such as wines aijd brandies, no alteration eas taken
place.

POLICE./

MANSION-HOUSE.-Yes!etday Evan Evans, a
porter, in the service of Messrs. Coi and Merle,
gold and silver refiners, of f.,;t, le Britain, was brought
up, charged on stis,ncion ut robbing -his master, to
an enormous amount.

The prisone'r was emplqesl by the complainants
as a porter, at 22e. per week, and in consequence
of having at different times missed tirge -quantities
of silver, to the amount, perhaps of fuurcir five hun-
dred minces, they caused the prisonerti- lodgings tO
be searched on -suspicion. Under his bed were
found two•large boxes of candles, such as_ were
used in his masters' workshop, and which afterwards
turned out to be their property. Upon searching
farther,- the officer found a considerable number of
Exchequer•Bills,.Biils of,Exchange, and receipts for
property in the funds, all amounting, to near 15001,
None of this property could be claimed'by the
complainants, or apy one in attendance, before..the
Lord Mayor. The candles, however, having been
clearly identified, he was fully committed for trial.

Upwards of sixty persons Were conviaed at the
late Cavan Assizes of the offence of using unlicensed
stills. Three-fourths of the above number submit-
ted. One of them, on being asked by Mr. Baron
M'CLELLAND, if he had any thing to offer in ex-
tenuation of his offence, replied " Yes, my Lord,
lam guilty, to be sere ; but I don't think your
Lordship will punish the for making a little drop for
the decent burial of my poor mother."
hursday morning several dead bodies were found
on the north shore, near Liverpool, which were of
course supposed to have come from some vessel
which must 'have been wrecked during the very se-
vere gales of the preceding night. By the inscrip-
tion on pa, t of the stern of a vessel which has been
found, shcir appears to have been the, J 7 packet,
from Newry to Liverpool. There is reason (0 bC-

lieve, from the best informatli.m that' has been 're-
e,ived, that the number, of persons on board was
not less t:*an 40, every one of whom appears to
have perished.
An accident, threatening very serious conse-
quences, occurred on• Sunday -se'nnight. on 'bond a
sloop at Lipp's 'Wand, Coi k, Er)und for i elt.,st ;

through some• inattention of ihose ‘,v;,o ha,k her in

fortunately it was high water, "and b;' the tiiitrljr

OLD BAILEY, JAI 22.

Hodgson, a mail-coachman, was yesterday mt..
vicled of ptirchasing eight guineas for,. nine, one-.
pound notes, from Rothven, one of the Bow-street
prtroks, in September last. It appeared, by the
testimony of the Officer, that he had been sent
on an excurshm to the West of England, by the
S,,licitor of the Mint, to deter the illegal traffic in
guineas, but he had been unsuccessful, until he
returned to London from Devizes on the box with the
defendant. • The Officer was di.lused as coml•
tryman, and affeeled to be unacquainted with the
sale of guineas (which defend nt -had told him had
much decreased in k aloe). On their arrik al at the
Gloucester Coffee-house, havi.g previonsly had
much conversation respecting gold, dietitian( ad-
vised the Officer to ride wi!li him to Lad lane, as
_the latter had pleaded ignorance of London, \and
it was there the purchase was made.- It was
attended with much study on ;he part of the
Officer, who had' shewn_ his guineas apparently in
pulling out other money.
Mr. GURNEY, for the defendant, contended, that
it had not been proved the notes which purchased
the guineas were genuine.
Mr. OomMON SERJEAND, to
.his address to the
Jury, observed, that the. defendant had ak erred tt:e
notes as genuine, by the payment of them, and in
another reply to the Counsel for the defendant, that
the Officer had tempted the crime, he observed,
t hat as well might a thief justify breaking open a
goldsmith's shop, because valuable articles were in
the window. The Jury were two hours and a half
considering their verdiet.

The Judge observed, in passing, sentence, that
the Jnry's verdict was most -essential-to the public,
inasmuch as it was the first, or one of the first
convictions. under the A6l, and all future otfondtra
would meet with-the full extent of punishment the
law inflided. The present lenient sentence, which
was a fine bf forty sitiiiings, was infiided, vte
offence having been committed so recently after the
of the Act. ,

Giovanni Astardo, for stealing a diamond ring
and five earrings, the goods of Messrs. Love and
Butler, privately in their shop,was capitally convided.
Seventeen prisoners were convicted of felony,
viz—Arthur Organ, fin sealing three geese and a
gander, the property of Job Green"; John XI for
stealing two straw bonnets, the property of John
Hagley ; Wm. Whitehead, for stealing two quartern
loaves, the property of Charles Andrews; Richard
Hawkins, for stealing a hat, a pair of shoes, and
other articles, the property of Wm. Powell ; Mary

Marshal Prince Kutusoff's Report to his Imperial Maje,..ty,
dated from the Village •of near Viasnia, Nor. 5,
1812.

I have the honour to, announce tp your IMpe-
srial Majesty, that since my report 'of the Ist of
November, of the movements of General Platoff,
near the monastery of Klolotzk, Aide-de-camp
General Count d'Orloff Denisoff attacked, at dif-
ferent points, near the town of Viasma, the re-
mainder of tbeenemy's regiments, which had been
beaten, and -vhich were still there. They resisted
with obstinacy, but were repulsed every where.
In this affair we took one cannon, and forty
waggons, With their baggage Camttsier, the Se-
cretary of the Duke of Bassano. and his chancery,
two officers,- and three ComMissaries' belonging
to _ Marshal Ney's corps, with 130 soldiers,
were made prisoners. On the morning of the
3d of November,' General. MiloradoWitch at-
tacked the ,enemy near. Viastna. The battle
lasted till
.the enemy retired into the town,
from whence he was driven out by the bayonet
by the 1I th and 26th divisions, under the
command of Major-General Paskwithch- and
Ichoglokoff. The infantry regiment of Pernow
being at the head of the column, entered the first
into the town with drams beating and colours '4.7
ing, and' made way for the other troops through
the corps. of the enemy. According to.the
ports of the prisoners, three of the enemy's corps
were engaged; that of vice King of Naples,
and those of Mars:lis Davoust-amiNey.
The loss of : enemy in killed and wounded is
six tholi.7::: men, and we havetaken two thousand
five hunied prisoners• ; amongst whom is general
Pattien, of the artillery, and the Chief of Marshal
Davoust's Etat Major, and Colonel Morat. Oar'
loss in killed and wounded does not exceed five
hundred men. • After the taking of Viasma, our
advanced guard marched through. that town, and
took a position upon the Smolensko road, while
our light infantry, under the orders of GelIC V3l
Platoff, pursued the (mealy as'far'es.Et-eniFea
One colour and three pieces of can7n,, 1 lye
fallen into ourhands ; and withoat re-, ; the,
great number of killed, with which ;:,y
covered; we have taken one tlionsau:i
besides the killed and wounded.

. duous arid. important Service fair which he eras en-
gaged, e4,-en for 4 during* the Whole course of
that period. I confess, Tiny LOrds, it has beet
sometimes niatter of surprise to me, as• it is tin-
doubtedly a.n ardtinus one to 'contemplate, that,
in. going through all theSe caMpaigus, he has
been able to support hiS bodily and Mental
strength; under difficulties certainly never sur-
passed. Under _all these eireums.ances Lord
Wellington has certainly had the satisfaction; that
he received the pi-ondest reward• that any Officer
can
,receive upon any occa-lon--,-he has leceiveti
the repeated thanks of Parliament. These have
been moSt deservedly conferred upon Lord W.el:-
lington lkss than eight times, and six times as
Commander-in-Caief. What I now have to move,
may- 1-.)e regarded ,as a consideration• in 17,17
-
thematic of an object more immediately andel-
the consideration of the Prince Regent; when
c,:ting in, the name ancl on the 4elia;f. of hii
Majesty; he elevated the Noble Lord to actL
diticnaal hortOnrs. It was 'seen, in the midst
of 'those events, v%l-ereity he refleetel honont.
upon hinisclf, and entailed the most substantial ad-
vantages upon the country.; he had, with the cx-
ception of the assistance already afforded by Par=
liament, no means of increasing his fortune, but;
on the contrary, it must have .been diminishing.
Under all these circumstances, my. Lords, this
House, Parliament, the. Public, and the CounL,_
try, are called upon to conic forward to his assist-
ance and remuneration. I will Juot, my Lords;
enter into feelings which every man must enter-
tain on such au occasion. We are called uponas
au act-of justice to the country, as an act of jus-
tice to Lord Wellington ; not only this, but it is
an act of wisdom and policy in itself. I am
suaded that to reward great; signal, -and undisput-
ed public services in'a proper and liberal manner,
is not only an act of justices to the individual, but
is the wisest act •a 'country can do with reference
to its safety, preservation, and character. 1 have
now, my Lords, only as a natter of convenience,
just to say, that the grant intended tube pro-
posed in another place, is 100;0001. to be vested
in trustees for the purchase of land, under such
cont.litionS as wilt therein be stated at the time."

The N6ble Earl then moved a corresponding Ad-
ders to his Royal Highness, assuring him of the
vordial Concurrence of the House, in measures, to
enablehis Royal Highness to carry into effect the
very desirable object of his most gracious Message.
On the question,
Lord HOLLAND observed, he rose merely to say '
that be did not mean to oppose the AddreSs ; on
the conti•ary, he approved of w:iat was proposed,
and the way in which it was intended to be done.
He Professed his opinioulhat the country_ was
called upon to preserve to Lord Wellington and
:supp.p2,ling. thslt. _rauk.
to which he was so aeservedly raised.,
The Address was then voted by their Lord-
ships, ne,n. disS. and ordered to be presented to
the Prince Regent in the usual way.
