to the severity of his MajeAy's indisposition that
the Lord Chancellor, whose duty it was to procure
his Majesty's signattire, had not been able to effed
it, and it would scarcely% be necessary for him..to ob-
serve, that it would, he unbecoming and improper
to affix \the Great Seal .Withoat the authority of that
sanction. Perhaps- the House would permit him to
make one or two observations upon the state of his
Majesty's health, befOre he proceeded to notice the
steps. which he thought expedient tOresortto in the
present ein,rg•Jrcy. It would; not he necessary, in-
deed it would 'not be proper, to increase the
anxiety of the House and of the public upon this oc-
casion, nor would he :proceed to mentien:any, thing
respecting the indisposition which they all deplored,
if it was not of a nature 'to afford considerable cons°.
lation. Sure. he•was, that if any thing could -as
suage the feelings of the country-at the presetit mo-
ment, it eat the congideration that his Majesty's in-
disposition arose from his atfettinn as a Jaiher,.that
it sprung from hiS anxious and unremitting atten-
tion to a-beloved daughter under her 'pait7iftil and
protegled treri ngs.; tiris, if any thing, must as
' euage their feelings ; this, it any thing, must, in-
crease their venerati,i). it was conSolaiory to re-
lied, that a disorder originating in such a 'cause. was
of a nature' to,Le easily combated and ietnoved: he
had the satistknon alSo to state, that the symptoms
Were peculiarly mild, aed that the physicians had ex-.
presgzd the Most confident hopes' of a peedy recd-.
very. He bad thought it his duty. to state thus much
with respect to the situation of his Majesty's health,
both as it atforded an explanation of the conduct of
hi Majesty's servants, and was calculated to soothe
those feelings of anxiety and apprehension under
which they must all lave laboured. ,He would
now advert to what, in his opinion, the Houtse
ought to du uncizr the circumstances. Upon_ this
pracl,cal‘part of the question the Speaker, on taking
the chair, had pointed out what appeared
.to Inn)
(the Chancellor of the Exchequer) the best mode of
proceeding ; he thought that theyought not now to
ceed w business but pdjoitro to a future day.
Whether or not they mere competent to proceed at
present, they should consider the circumstances
under which they were called together. They were
called together not, upon the understanding that
they should proceed to business, but under the most
authoritative- declaration that'it wi,s his Majesty's
wish the House sheuld not meet, nod that no busi-
ness should be undertaken at this particular moment.
The only part, of the slit-sled that appeared to him
.to admit of .doebt was that part whiCh embraced the
eriod of adjournment. Upon this he would hum-
bly Stiitest that they should adjourn to that' day
fortnight. He mentioned that period as allowing
sufficient time to procure that degree of decent at-
tendance which would enable them to decide with
propriety .upon the important question, whether it
would be then proper to adjourn to a further period

_
or. not. As far as Parliamentary opinion went upon
this point they had in Parliamentary eriaalmenta
the following authorities :—ln the first place, a
power had been given .to his Majesty to call to-
gether a Parliament, in any extraordinary emer-
gency, in the space of fourteen. days ; in ano-
ther instance, in ,modern times, the only one that
could be considered almost analagous to the pre-
sent case, an adjournment for fifteen days was
proposed, ,and almost nnanimonsly acceded to.-
I,lpon these , grounds, he would move for an
adjournment. to this day fortnight. It appeared-
to him, that the only point to be considered now,
was something incich nt to this proceeding, some-
thing calculated to further the area of the adjourn-
. ment, 2nd procure,. what* it must be the wish Of all.
to accomplish, a full attendance upon that day.—
For this purpose, it'was his intention, after the first
rtiotion was carried, to move for a Call of the
Hoti,e, and also for the 'addressing of circular letters
to the different Knights; Citizens, and Burgesses,
being Members of Parliament, (0 attend upon that
occasion,. Having stated his view of the case, he
should now propose his first. mo9on, namely, " That
the House,.'at its rising, should adjourn to that day
fortnight:"
Mr. SHERIDAN rose, and spoke briefly as fol-
lows According as I do to every sentiment ex-
.pressed with so mild) propriety by the Right Hon.
Gentleman, and feeling highly gratified, in corn-
=On, I am sure; with every individual in the House,
by the happy expeaation held forth to us of his Ma-
jesty's speedy recovery, I rise, Mr.'Spealier, merely
'to hAve ttit lionourol seconding the motion in your
hand."
The motions we're then carried unanimously.
Adjourned t 6 this day fortnight.

IMPERIAL DECREE.

AINZRAL ORDTHANCE. FOR THE ORGANIZATION OF

TIIE DF.PARTATENTS OF HOLLAND.

Palace of Fontainbleau, Oct. 18, ato.
APOLEON, Emperor of (the French, King o
Maly, Ace. - f
Considering that the departments of Holland have
# system of taxation quite different from that of the
,Empire ; that it cannot be changed in order to intro-
puce the French system in 181 t„ but by making our
finances sustain a considerable loss;:
Considering also, that the persons employed in
the administration of the finances of Holland stand
jn need of their employments in order to support
their families, and that they have given• us good
yronto of their zeal and of their probity ; that it
would be necessary, however, to displace the greater
part of them if a new system of accounts were in-
troduced before they had time to learn it ; that there
are in the Departments of Holland arrears for years
back, as well as for the present; that the book of
the public debt is not yet formed, and cannot be
formed befOre the year 1812 ; having therefore
resolved . w establish progressively the system of
finance of our Empire in the departments of Hol-
land, and to content ourselves, for 1811, with intro-
ciucing- such mitigations, that these Departments
will have to pay much less heavy 'taxes than they
gave paid in preceding years :

SOLEM QUIS DICERE FALSUM AUDEAT?

FRIDAY, NOVLNIBER 2, 1 8 10.

The f.llowing was the Medical Report of yester-

day.

" Windsor Castle, tst Nov: 'Ste.
" HIS ,MAJESTY has passed rather • a better
night, and is much the same to-day as yesterday.
" HENRY HALFORD.
." W. HEBERDEN.
" M. BAILLta."

Our Readers' will see, by a reference to our Par-
liamentary. Report, that we were perfealy accurate
in our statement of the course that would be adopt-
ed on the meeting of the two Houses of-Parliament.,
An adjournment for a fortnight was unanitnonsly
agreed to; and, before the expiration of that pe-.
riOd, we sincerely hope, and fervently pray, that
his MAJESTY'S indisposition may be totally removed..
Our hopes upon this subjea are strengthened by the
consolatory language used yesterday by flieCtiANcr.-
LOB of the EXCHEQUER ; he said, that the symptoms
of his Majesty's malady were peculiarly mild, and that
the Physicians entertained the most Sanguine hopes
of his speedy recovery. This information was.rece,ived
with the utmost pleasure by the House, and will of
course diffuse satisfaaion in every.part of the Ern,
pire. If, however, these hopes should unfortu-
nately not be realized, contrary to the very favour-
able appearances at present, the proper steps have
been taken .to insure a full attendance of Members
at the expiration of the period' to which the ad-
journment has taken place.

Almost every fresh arrival from the Continent
furnishei us with some new instance of BUONA-
PARTE'S implacable malignity against tliii country,
and of his total disregard of every princip:e of jug-
tice. It is stated in a Dutch paper, shat' some Eng-
lish goods were seized at Nieuport, conce.iled be
tween the planks 9f a vessel. BuosAparriE, on
hearing of the circumstance, and being probably
rather enraged at the recent intelligence from Por-
tugal, issued the) following very extravagant decree :

" PARIS, OCT. •Ig,-Arr. 1. AU Merchaudizes
of whatever description, the produce of the English
manufadories, which are at present-in 'France; or
in any country (without exception) where French
troops are stationed, shall be publicly burnt.
" Art. 2 There shall every where be establish-
ed especial Courts of Judicature to det ea Smugglers,
and persons concerned in illicit trsThc; and to
punishMent by' imprisonment, for a term not less
than throe, nor more than tan yearit.'

member me," and we have heard to those weir
added, " when lam gone;" but of this we are 0
certain. A lock of her Itoyal Highness's hair v°1

It has been decided, after much c'onsultation, rjl'
for the purpose of easing the LORD I,O„CHANcs'd

and that all the ordinary bRSHI:...3S of the Cntirt, ;11,
