S(LEM QUIS DIESEL FALSUM AUDEAT ?

LUND() iv,
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4, 181:',.

Mr. BROUGHAM yesterday brought forward his
'Motion in the HoUse of Commons upon the Orders
in Council. He did not, nor did any Gentleman
who supported 'him, contend,.as has heretofore been
contended, that the Orders in Council were founded
upon an unjust principle; he merely confined himself
to their impolicy, and insisted that our present com-.
mercial embarrassments were attributable to them,
and that they did not affe6t the enemy so much as they
injured ourselves. It was, howLver, indisputably
shewn on the other side, that our Trade, so far from
having been injured by the Orders in Council, in-
creased beyond all precedent immediately after they
were issued; that the decrease of trade and the com-
mercial embarrassments in is 1 i were not attribu-
table to them, but to causes which were obvious to
every one; and that the trade of France, so far from
not having suffered by the Orders in Coun-
cil, had been nearly annihilaled, for the Cus-
tom Duty in France, which was, when our Or-
ders in Council were issued, above .Go millions of
livres, fell the next year to 18 millions, and in 1809
to 11 millions. The Chancellor of the Exchequer
stated, that the Revenue of Customs ;n France was
now -considerably higher, but that was not owing to
an increase of trade,but to an increase of the duties„
which had been augmented to above five and
twenty times their former amount. The debate
lasted to a very late hour this morning, and the mo-
tion was at length rejected by a large majority.

Yesterday the Duke of Yorm, Mr. PERCEVAL,
and Lord CASTLEREAGH transacted busine,s with
the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton House.

Yesterday BENJAMIN TUCKER, Esq. Surveyor-
General of the Duchy of Cornwall, had an audience
of his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT, who
was graciously pleased to receive an elegant snuff-
box, made of the silver which had been extracted
from Wheal. Duchy Silver Mine, in the Manor of
Calstock, parcel of the Duchy of Cornwall, now
working under the auspices of his Royal Highness.
Among the reports confidently rumoured in the
ministerial circles, it is stated, that the Governor-
Generalship, and chief command of the forces in the
East Indies, had been offered to Lord MOIRA, but
had been declined.
Letters froth Cadiz inform us that the new Re-
gency of Spain have, for his services, cleated Mr.
TUPPER, his Majesty's Consul at Valencia, a Baron
of Old Castile, with an estate of 8000 dollars per
annum.

KING'S THaATItE.—The admirable Opera of La
Clemenza di Tito, one of the most exq'iisite pro-
du&ions of MozArtT, was represented last night at
th s place. TRAINIEZZANI and CATALANI seemed to
be both restored to health, as they put forth all their
vocal strength, and sung with great energy and ex-
pression. In one duet their powers were exerted
with such skilful union, and such touching pathos,
that they were encored. Another high gratification,
though of a different kind, was afforded to the au-
dience, by the first appearance of DIDELOT with his
wife for the season.- His excellence in his art" is
well known; and Madame DIDELOT possesses merit
that will render her a great favourite. They were
both warmly received by a very numerous and
splendid audience.

On Friday last as Lord ST. VINCINT was sitting
by himself in his room, and having occasion to
reach forward, unfortunately fell upon the grate.
His head coming in contact with one of the spikes
which were placed on the top of the grate for the
security of the wood, he was with some difficulty
able to force himself back from the fire before he
sustained any injury by the heat, though his str-
vants on entering found him covered with blood,
from severe laceration occasioned by the spike.—
His Lordship is, however, nearly recovered from the
effects of this untoward accident.

The Countess of ABERDEEN died on Sunday last,
in Argyle street.

SMITHEIELD CATTLE SHIM, FIRST DAY.—On
Monday Mr. Sadler's Yard, in Goswell-street,
was very crowded, during most of the day, with
Agriculturists and others, to see the very fine shew
of cattle, sheep, and pigs, and the new implements
exhibited.

Lord Somerville exhibited a pair of 8-year old
Devon oxen, worked together in a yoke 86 days,
and had since travelled .21 miles to the spew. '

The Duke of Bedford, a pair of 6-year old He-
reford oxen, worked 112 days on his park farm,
traveled 42 miles.

The Earl of Macclesfield, a pair of Devon oxen,
worked 7l days by him, travelled 45 miles.
The Earl of Essex, a 7-years old cow, fed on bay
and oil-cake.

hogs.
Mr. Ellis, a breeding sow, in store order, 'ls
months old, has had two litters of pigs.

SECOND DAY.

Lord Somerville yesterday caused copies of his in-
strationS to the Judges, of his shew to be stuck up
in the yard, the substance of which was, that for
awarding his premiums, they are not to consider
fatness alone, but work; and the store state of oxen,
and the keep and quantity of the wool, as Well as
state of fleAt, in sheep,
