- A s nothing is a greater- Ornament than. a_White
/ Set of Teeth, TROTT E R's .ASIATIC TOOTH-
POWDER, or ORIENTAL DENTI FRICE, .which has
met with universal encouragement from the first Personages
of Fashion and Distinction, during a period of Eighteen Years,
is recommended to the attention of .the Public. Ladies and
Gentlemen who have not tried the &dna of this excellent
Dentifrice, will find a single box a sufficient quantity to as-.
certain itsellicacy and virtues ; its excellencies being ac-
knowledged by the most respectable Medical Authorities, •
used by several, and recommended. The Powder creanses
and beautifies the Teeth, sweetens the breath, possesses no
acid that can corrode the enafnel, and is extrenfely safe in its
use. From its astringency it strengthens the gums, eradi-
cates the scurvy, which often proves- the destruction of a
whole set of Teeth, preserves sound Teeth from decay, se-
cures decayed Teeth from beeoming worse, fastens those
which are loose,. proves the happy means of preventing their
being drawn. Bnt What' has enhanced it in theestimation of
Ladies and Gentlemen who have been in the habit of using
it, is, that it prevents the return of the Tooth«ach, with
which,i before that period,' they had been violently. afilieled ;
and obviating the necessity of that most disagreeable of all
operations-,-Sealing the Teeth. Likewise a TiaCture, which.
possesses the power of easing the most violent Tooth-ach,
and braces the Gums,' and is a Wash atter the Powder, per-
feetty sate in its use, having no acid. M. Trotter recorp-

AMPERIAL PA U.LIAMEN"

ROUSE OF PEERS.

WEDNESDAY, DEC. 29.

AT half past. three o'clock, the LORD .CHAN-
CELLOR, Lord PELHAM, and Lord WALSINGHAM,
being robed, took their seats-on the Bench, in front
of the Throne; as His Majesty's i,ords Commis-
sioners. Mr. -QUARM E, Deputy-Usher of the
Black-Rod, was diipatched".to disirethe attendance
of -the Commons, and accordingly the SPEAKER,
accompanied by several Members, forthwith ap-
peared at the Bar. =
His Majesty's Cornmissi"n being duly read, the
loom) CHANCELLOR informed both Houses, that
in obedience to His Majesty's commands, and by
virtue of the Commission they had just heard read;
that they, the Lords Commissioners, declared His
Majesty's Royal Assent to the several Public and
Private AEts mentioned in -the said Commission;
and that the Clerks were oitiered to signify the
same in the usual form and words.

The Royal Assent was then notified to eighteen
rublic. and Private Bills. Among the fprmer were.
the Navy Abuses, the Transport Bills ; the Sugar
Duties Drawback, the Militia Regulation, the Bri-
tish and Irish Provision Export and Impart, the
Irish Militia Pay, the Felons). Transportation, and
the Dublin Baking Trade Bills.
The Commons then retired, and shortly after,
the House, on the motion of Lord WALSINGHAM,
adjourned (for the Recess) until Thursday the 3d
of. February.

HOUSE OF. COMMON'S,

WEDNESDAY, DEC. 59.
, .
THE Royal Assent was given by Commission to
several public and private Bills (see the proceed-
;pp or the House of Peers.).
-Mr. SARGENT moved, that a new Writ should
be issued for. the Borough of Bossiney in Cornwall,
in the room of J. H. Addington, Esq, who had
accepted the office of Steward of the Chiltern
Htlndrecls.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER mired
that the •House should adjourn to the .3d of Fe.
bruary.
Mr. ELIOTT rose to. make a few observations
upon the proposition which had been made to the
House. It was not his intention to trespass long
upon the time of the House, but he felt himself
under the necessity of objeding to 'an adjournment
for so long a period as 'that which was now pro_
posed, because the situation in this. Country
was placed, seemed to him so replete with danger,
that Parliament ought not to separate for so tong
a time as was now proposed. It was to him a Subj.
• jea of surprise, that aooroposition should be made for
an Adjournment, before the House had received any
information .respeaing the State of thiS Country,
with, reference 'to, the other PoWersof Europe. No
man, 'he was sure, cold Vie*: the spirit of aggran-
dizement with whiiTh France was aftuatedi %idiotic
feeling for the danger which threatened this Coun-
try, And therefore he' was. surprized to fintl
that, at such: a mament, :a. I\,2l6tion was made to
adjourn for so long a pefied. Since the Treaty of
Peace, the condua of France had been. such as tend-
. ed toshesy that. she considered it only as a sus-
pension of Hostilities, or a.lemporary Armistice.
Instead- of redking her Establishments, as might
be expeeledon .the.concloiori Uf_4 Peace e; she had
used every means to 'increase her streogth.both
by
sea and land.. Under suela:circumstanees the House
certainly was entitle-d. 'sn'tne information before
it adjourned for solones a period as was now proposed.
The House certainly ',anew that' Malta was in our
possession, because a Bill had been paSsed to regulate
the trade with that Island ; but he begged leave to
ask, what information they .had received respeaing
the Cape of Good Hope,..Cochio, or Alexandria .?
Whether- those places were to be given up to,
or* retained from the, Enenty;ahe- `House had no
means of knowing, nor had they been informed why,
under such circumstances,.it had'heen thought right'
'to surrender any of shit Possessions to the Enemy.
There were reoorts in circulation of a very alarm-
'log nature- respeaing the cession of Cochin, and of
the Floridas to France : these were -topics upon
which 'Parliament liad undoubtedly a. tight to infor-
Matinn, though,. he,conlessed, he did not expeLt it
from the present i\ilitiisv.rs, because they-did not
appear -dispo4ed *to `institute Inquiries; , but he
will; d that His Meelesty's. Ministers would state
that they did not believe that there was any loon.
d,4tion for the reports to which he -had alluded.
These was. another point,. eisin which he thought_
some-communicatione ought toshaeebeen made .to.
the House, upon tahicle the had received. no infor-
mation. svhatevra, and that was, whether any Come
mcrcial. arrangement had been •made; With -France,
or with any of her Allies ? Nor had any informa-
tion been given to the' House, whether our rights,
with respeLt to. the Bay of Honduras had. been,
ascertained.. Telndee all these -circumstances, it Was
now propose& that the Menibers of that House
were to return to their Coti'stituents in perfea
ignorance of the real situation of the Country. It
was true, that Ministers had proposed a large
Plate Establishment, but of that Establishment was
for Med with a view to the dangers which. threat-
ened the Country, it appeared- to him to be too
small ;r if it-was proposed with a view to Economy,
it was too large. The Members of that fissUso did,
not even know. whether _ the Stipulations of the
Treety of Amiaos had been carrite', into execution,
or whether if was intended that they should be carried
into execution. Uodet these circumstances, 'when
the Country was 'admitted on all lona, to be in a
state of unexampled -clanger, a Mi:)ti96trot an ad-
beurnmentfor so long a period, appeared to him to
a very important question, and he thought i't
necessary to submit these Observations to the con-
Sicieration of the`Housea r

House would, he was sure, dce .him justice.in bear- .
hag testimony, that he had' never attempted, to -
under-rate the real situation of the Country., He
French o
did not wish that this 'Country should abate its
Hainburgh
vigilance, or that it should ndtobsetiretaniiioma;
but he would never give in to those gloomy state-
ments which were made, he had no doubt with
good intentions, but which tended ao hold out this
Country to Europe as being in a state of' unex-
ampled danger. Parliament had .wisely prepared:
thenieinseif not of averting:, at least of meeting.
any-danger which threatens the Country, -and in
those measures- he thought an ample justification
was to be found for the Motion which he had sub-
mitted to the 'House.' But the 'Hon. Gentleman
had contended that Parliament was now to separate
withOutr having arty information of the relative•
situation of this Country with regard to the other
Powers aif Europe. This certainly -.was an extra_
ordinary charge to be made on thellast‘day of their
meeting. Did the Hon. Gentleman now know
•for the first time, that it was intended to pro- •
pose an Adjournment to the 3d of February
When he had the honour of submitting to the
House a Motion for putting off theEtettion Com-
mittees till the Bth of February, hedistindly stated
to the House, that a Motion- would be made to ad-
journ till within a few days of that period. He
wished to ask if, since ihe. time,he had given- that
notice, any question had been put to His Majesty's
Minzstcrs, if any Motion had been made calling
for information respeCting the state. of this Coon-,
try ? Nothing of than kind had taken place, and
yet Gentlemen, now complained that -Parliament. was
to adjourn without any information. He eon.:
ceived himself warranted in making a Motion to
adjourn till the 3d of February, because he thought
that the measures which had been adopted by Par-
liament had placed this Country in a state of,secua
city ; but there appeared to him the less fouedation
for this opposition, because by an Act whith had
passed not long ago, the King was authorised to
summon Parliament in fourteen ,days in case of
any emergency. If, therefore, any, such emergency
should occur, which he did 'not foresee, His Majes-
ty could summon Parlianvot to assemble ctore the,
period to which it was now proposed to adjourn.—
The Hon. Gentleman had contended, that there
was no instance of Parliament having separated for
so long a period under circumstances of such on-
exampled danger. When a •Gentleman spoke of
unexampled danger, perhaps. it would be no answer
to refer to any former period ; but he supposed it
would not be contended that the end of the year
1799 was a peridd of less danger than the present
our Army was there in Holland, and the Archduke
Charles had quitted Zurich, and yet under these
circumstances the HOts-e adjourned' from October ro
January. Parliament . had now done more public
business; and that. too e of a more important kind
than. ever was known before , the Christmas recess;
and-he really did- not see any inconvenience or any
dinker in adjourning for five weeka. He Was not
aware that Parliament could have, done any thing
more than it had done -to avert any danger which
might be supponett to thic,,tco the Country but if
Gentlemen had any doubt upon the subjed, it was
their duty to have brought !forward a specific MIL.
tion Upon the subjeCA, and if they had negleded to
'do so; they had no right to oppose this Motion.
Mr. WINDHAM said, that after *hat had fallen
freMjliS HOD. Friend Mr. ELIOTT) he did not
think it would have been necessary for him to have
aroUblecl the-House with any observations, but he
wished. to say a few words, upon what, had fallen
from the CHANCEI.LOIt Of the EXCHEQUER. Whe-
ther the Country. was now in a state.of unexampled
danger, speaking strkUy and literally, he -would
not now discuss ; but that it was in a state of great
danger, was nononly generally admitted, but was
proved by the measures which Ministers themselves
had brought forward. There must be:something more
than usual in the danger which threatened the coun-
try, or Ministers' would not have .proposed a Peace
Establishinent so unusually large.. He was therefore
strongly of opinion, that under such circumstances,
, Ministers ought not to have propOaed an adjourn-
ment without having given eanme information to
the House.- It appeared to him,. that upon all .great
and important occasions, Parliament ought to have
every information whiCh Ministers cupid with pro-
priety give. fhe extent of our preparations proved
our danger,. but at the same .time .They, did, not se-
cure us from it. e We, might, inieede. be secured
from the lastaand greatest danger, than of•an inva,
siorra But:. while , we cnjciyed this state, of se-
curity, • France was roaming _ round the, world,
and we told them,"'" do as you. please,- the 'world
is before :you," thotigh we eould not add " and
Providence is your guide," " but ad as you think
prOper, proided you do not touch our possessions.".
Nine Months had
.now elapsed since the Treaty of
Peaces Acid the House did not know whether it Was
to he carried into effect-or not, nor had they any
informatiiin with respect to, the Cape of Good
Hope or Cochin.—lt had been said that Gentle-
men who 'wanted information ought to haVe made
motionsseupon thethen subjed, but it must be obvious
that in bridging ;forward Motions of the nature
alluded to, much must depend upon the season of
the year, • and much. upon the probable attendance
of Members, but these circumstances could not
have any cited upon Ministers—they ought to have
given every 'information to the House which they
could with propriety have given.
Admiral BERKELEY wished to propose a ques-
tion to Ministers, to which if he -did not receive
a satisfadoty answer, he should be under the ne-
cessity of making it • the subject of a- Motion after
the Recess. He wished 'to know,' whether it. was
the intention of the Admiralty to bring forward,
for the consideratioti;nf Parliament, any laws for the
better regulation of HiseMajesty's. Ships of 'War,,
within a short time after the Recess.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
Said, that the subject alluded to by the Hon. Gen..
tleman had been long under the 'consideration_ of.
Governmeor, but he was not prepared to say that it
Would be necaasal to call the attention' of Parlia-
ment to it.
Mr. ALEXANPER gave notice, that he should,
after-the Recess, make a Motion for the Improve-
ment of the Town of Belfast,

QIIIS DICER& PALSUM AUDiAT ?

L OND 0 DECEMBER 30, i3oz.

YESTERDAY Parliament adjourned for the Recess
to the 33 .oiii'ebruary. Upon. reviewing 'the,sub-.
jet and result lof 'those discussions which have oc-.
cupied the attention of the Legislature since the
-opening of'the Session, .we cannot but congratulate,
the Country upion the flourishing' arid ' prosperous
state of its resources; whip!' has been pfoved
yond all doubt, by the unanswerable documents
brought forward by the CH ANC E Loa' of the Ex-''
CHEQUER, and -upon the firm and energetic deter-
mination evinced by the Ministers to support, with
becoming dignity, its -Honour- and its -Interests,
but at the same time to maintain the Peace,
if .it can be preserved consistently with that
1-ion Cur and those Intereits. Having chosen the
happy medium in their condua, they have shewn
that they were not to be•driven from their determi-
nation by the reiterated and persevering attacks of
a Party, --who, in their repeated and unsuccessful
attempts to fix upon Ministers a charge of incon-
sistency and of a disregard to the interests of. the
Country, have themselveS•displaYed the grossest in,
consistency,. whilst they indubitably evinced the
spirit of a Faction, since they could -not bring for:
`ward- a single ground whereon they might establish
a real and bona fide charge of, misconduct 'against
those IVlinisterS who. were the continued. objects of
their inveaives. ;That the' individuals.. composing
:this small Party were aau ated by 'a faflieus spirit,
. very' recent instance of ,their condua, if
others were wanting; snificiently proves.. The ex.:
ertiOns made to dikredit the-Ministers
.With the
•Countrr have been unsuccessful, because their' eon-
dud has. met with, nearly the unanimous approba-
,tion of the People, asbeing the only line of aaion.
w
-t
hich Britain ought to pursue ttnder the pre§ent
cumstances of her situation, consistently- with her
honour, -andat the same time with her:safety. Ha-
ving : clearly. shewn that the Country is in a-
state'. to maintain, • with vigospr;: any contest in
whlch events may involve her, they have placed
her in a commanding and decisive position in
which she is ready, either effeaually to assert
her rights, or to meet any attack which May, be
direEted against her. This appears to be the only
situation in which, under the present conjunanre of
affairs, the Country ought to' be Security
demands' vigila'nee, whilst Policy diScoutitenanees
'the threatening aspea. of War. That this is-the-case
those who have so. often repeated their attacks upon
:\Enisters haVe been forced to .acknowledge, arid
Live thus reluaantly given their testimony of ap-
probation to2the condua pursued. by those mini-
sters, since, with an evident disposition to lay hold
of every, even the slightest circumstance, whiCh
could tend to degrade those whom- they. attacked in
the eyes of the, ountry, they have been unable to
point .out any other line of condut which it would
be wise or 'politic to pursue under the present cir:
cumstances and. situation of Europe.
We-have no doubt that His MAJ ESTY'S Minister's
will persevere in that line of "conduct which they
have hitherto adopted, and Which, -while it amply
providesfor the safety of the Country, shows a de-
.
termined ;disposition to avenge, with promptitude
and efreet, anyin,fringement of its rights, or any at-
tack upon its honour, without at the same- time me-
nacing, hostility, or vainly boasting of its strength.
This is the position which charafteriZes true Cott-
rage; untainted by temerity -on the .one hand,, or
pusillanimity on the other ; and we may confidently
assert, that with increasing resources and unbroken
-spirit, this Country is in-a situation which afford
matter, for exultation to every well-wisher to its

interests.
