Sir S. ROMILLY and Mr. STEriteN-were heard in

Lipid HOLLAND presented a Petition from the Dis-
tillers of Dublin against-thelrish Distillery Bill, in-
sisting that, as there' was a clause in the, Bill by
which it might be repealed any time dining the pre-
sent Session, the-Petitioners had
.a right to petition
against the Bill; , • -
Lord DARNLEY presented a similar petition in be-
half 9f the Distillers of Cork ; -and:the Earl of Hard-
wicke also prektited a Petition front the Corn Grow-
ers of the Isle of Ely, against Abe Corn._ Distillery

,on the table.
.Tile former Petitions, after some conversation be-
tween Lords Holland, Bathurst, and Limerick-were
ordered to lie on the table.

spea ive 'stages.—Adjourned. •

HOUSE OF 'COMMONS. . I
.
AtONDAY, APRIL V.
A new Writ was ordered for the Borough of
Marlborough, in the room of Lord Viscount Stop=
ford, gone up to the-House of Lords. •
On the. motion of Sir Jou& SINCLAIR, the -Bill
for regulating the Highways in England and Wales

mitted,ote Thursday next.. •
Mr. WHARTON moved, that there be laid-before
the House certain Accounts relative to the Exche-
Tier Bills lately funded,
.Whi,ch were ordered:ac- .
eordingly. • . .
• Mr. WHARTON then moved, that there be laid
before the House Copies of the Representations
made to the Treasury try the Holders of the Eight
Millions Exchequer Bills last --furided,, requesting
that the farther 'Sum of 311,6001. Exchequer Bills
be funded on the same terms. • •
-Mr. WHITBREAD observed, that the manner,in
*bleb the last Bills had been funded had given much
di'ssatisfaaion, many individuals having been ad-
mitted to the Cockpit before the doors were opened
to the Public. -This subjea would come before the
House in another shape, and he trusted the Hon:
Gentleman was prepared to answer the complaints
that were so generally made. • =
Mr. Wnmerosr obseived, that the • holders of
those Bills, so far from being dissatisfied, were de-
sirous that 311,6001. more should be funded on the
same terms.
Sir JOHN NEWPdRT Complained of this 'mode of
raising money, as it was at a considerable additional
etpence to the Public.. The 'Papers, however, be-
ing ordered, pursuant to the motion; Mr. Wharton
brought them up, when they were ordered to lie on I
the table..

The present rcstriaion, as it HOW stood, he observ-,
ed, was- conformable to the Aas of the 13th and
• 14th of Charlesil.. He animadverted• on the frauds
and abuses that were frequently:praaised, under the
colour and saneAion of these Atts, as they were now
explained, while poor persons were often also the
sufferers, not being permitted to improve their situ-
ation, or to add to their present comforts, under pre-
tence of this regulation. HesthereforeWished'to
extend the sum to 201. or more, which, though it
might appear at first sight to add to the oppressions,
would, he was 'confident,, operate as a relief to
_this description of,persons. The Hon. Member
coniihded by moving for leave to bring in the Bill

LUNDOIV,

TUESDAY, APRIL 3, 1810.

NotwithStanding BLIONAPARTE'S matrimonial prey
parations, he has not for a moment lost sight of his,

great object, viz. that of injuring the commerce of
this country. He seems determined, if 'possible,
to line the whole coast of Europe.w,ith French Co-
-

tom-house Officers. Letters were yesterday re-

ceived from H.ehgolnd, which state, that BUONA•
PAItTE has prevailed upon the king of Denmark to
admit French troops into-his dominions, under the
pretext; we presume, of protesting them against
the enterprizes of the English. A . part .-of the.
French army has already entered Holstein, and
it is said that they will occupy Zealand with a_con-_
siderable force. The fortress of Colberg, which
was restored to the King. of Prussia, has- been gar-
risoned by the French, who have alSo taken prises-
sion of the little islani of • Neuark, at the mouth, of
the Elbe, by which means the communication. be-
tween Heligoland and Hamburgh are cut off. Near
thirty vessels, under neutral flags, have recently been
seized in the Russian ports.

Letters were yesterday received from Spain, which
mention a report that BUONArART4 has it in contem-
plation to antler; Biscay, Catalonia,. and Arragon to
France. The insurre6tions in different parts of
Spain which are nominally occupied by the French
troops, still continue: .Some other account* :go so
far as to say, that the communication between the
French Army. in Andalusia and Madrid is cut
In the' present state of Spain, 4nwerer, all reports

objects,
i - - - -
are btisifY em?loyed in making Lists of the number
of peisOns possessing places., and of their relatives,
i that voted against Lord PORCHESTER'S Resolutions.
i The obje& for ' which those Lists are circulated is,
no iloUbt, to insinuate that Gentlemen are in-
fluenced is Their votes by the . places which they

possess. This is not very respeafel either to

the persons alluded to, or to the House of Cour
!eons ; nor do we think it a fair way of farming so
opinion upon the decisions of the House of Cour
mous. If, however, the argument applies at all
(which we deny) it most, upon every fair priucii&

of reasoning, apply equally to both sides ; for if it;

can be supposed that the votes of Gentlemen on one
side are governed by the possession of places, it mil;
with equal- &mess, be said, that on the other side
the votes are influenzed by the expectation of place,
more' especially as the very result of the votes are to
realize those expeekations ; and as there are always
more expeaants than places, the influence arising
from exile&atioA• must be snore extensive than that
resulting from possession:

Intelligence has been received from the coast of
Africa, by the Hawke, to the 27th December.
Waf had broken out 'between some of the Native
Chiefs in the vicinity of D'Elmina, which was likely
to he attended with the usual -barbarities that cha-
racterise African hostilities. The Governor of Cape
Coast Castle had been solicited to interfere.

By the Jamaica Mail we have received Kingston
and Royal Gazettes to the lith of February. 'The
Cornrocation of the new Assembly was postponed
to the qth .of March, and the elections were pro-
ceeding, the Freeholders manifesting everywhere 3
disposition to re-elect the former Members.

A letter. from Bermuda states, that the Gover-
nor had prohibited the admission of any American
ships into the Bermudian ports. This regulation
was not known in the United States, and,seyefai
ships from thence having approached with their car-
goes, were allowed
.to land only what was sufficient
in value to pay the port charges, and then were Or"
dered imMediately to take their departur,

We do-not hesitate in saying, that this Comedy hr°

being intended for the correction of domestic life'
and though there was nothing of striking noveitY
in the fable,: it ,was by no means devoid of interest;
The character of Miss Screech, an envious old cnoia'
who is always attempting to- destroy conjugal lor
piness, was so well conceiired, that it is to be re-
gretted that it was not rendered more prominent to
the piece. The author is supposed to be a Gentle.
man. to. whom the public is indebted to several
dramatic works of great merit, and - who ott this
occasion hastily wrote it, .in order to supply th°
Theatre with some novelty when nothing elsj
offered. If he has brought it hastily foru.:;rd frow

so friendly a motive, there can be little doubt that,
with more pains; he might have made it a valua-
