THE Royal Assent was given, by Commission,

Bills, •

M. von?, in purniance Of the notice he had
given, moved_ for leave to bring in a Bill for a Re.
turn of the number of Poor Persons relieved in the
different Parishes of England, and also an account
of the Expence attending the. same. The objeet he
had in view embraced three points: The first
Poor,
was to provide for the more efFeettial relief of the
and the Maintenance of their Families. A Bill had
been brought in three years ago upon this sUbjen
which had failed in its obje6t, because it endeavour.
eel to do too touch. Fie had therefore endeavoured
to 4irrylify the measure ; he thought the most efree-
tual means of relieving the Poor, would be to find
them employment, to furnish them with materials
f'or labourLand to- infuSe into their minds a spirit
of industry. This principle had been reduef'd

County of Lincoln, by which means the Chil-

WE received this morning the Afoititeurs to the zd

account of the Fete and Illuminations which took
place at Am;enr, in honour of the Cut t F Cf)N‘V L.
The Inscriptions upon the Triumphal Arches, the
designs on the various Transparencie.4, were all ex.

The Itloniteur complains very bitterly of to
capture of the French Fishing Vessels, whichil
termed an ail of piracy worthy of the BarbariSM
of the Norilid It states that ten of those yea °
belonging to Boulogne, and four belangingtil
Calais, each worth from $ to 600 lifto
and having on board 157 men, have been,nlte4o
taken.. But the illoniteur very ptudently oAtits
state, that these poor innocent Fishermen, wlO,
suffered by the liberality of England to pursue 111#
occupation in safety, occasionally amused IN*
selves by capturing any defenceless English fag,
that fell in their way.
The Departments of France seem to vie Wig
each other in voting Money for the constratior

TH Vitt are none who observe with more,concetlt

is eagerly communicated to the Minister, and it ero,
