THE MARKETS.

CORN-EXCHANGE, Jung 14.

The supply of English Wheat being rather
small, fine runs from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk,
went off freely at last Monday's prices, and
picked samples of White from those counties ob-
tained an advance of from Is. to 2s. per quarter.
In Malting Barley there is but little doing, in
consequence of the proposed -additional duty on
Malt, which has caused a stagnation in the Malt
trade. Grinding Barley sold in small quantities
on full as good tertits as litt week. Fine fresh
Oats'support last Monday's prices, but the vale
and inferior samples are 'lB.. per quarter low•rr,
and very dull sale at that decline. Beans are al-
most unsaleable, ,except at very low prices, the
quantity at Market being large, and but little de-
mand for them.

from the neighbourhoo►l of Leon►luster, thst within
the last day or two a considerable alteration has
taken place in the plantation in that vicinity the fly

derably affected, and it is thought that the present
weather will increase the evil.—An account from
Maidstone, tilted on Wednesday last, says, " The

this favourable representation appears by the fact
that the duty

by her actions that sbe thinks differently ; and to

my return fron► the splendid sig (the grand re-
view of the Allied Troops at Valenciennes) I was
aeconipaned by an old Frenchman. After ex-
pressing his admiration and astonishment, he re-
marked, with a sardonic smile, that this was a
proud day•for Btionaparte. I was at a toss to un-
derstand iiis meaning, when he continued—The
Sovereigns are magnanimous—your General the

touch afraid of that one man,. that they chairs
him upon a barrel► rock, lest he should defeat
them all."

Various letters have reached town from Spain ;
the most recent dates are front Cadiz to the 31st
ult. and front Madrid to the Bth inst. We have
also accounts from the sante' places, received
by way of Flanders. Those by the latter con-
veyance state, that the numerous detachments
of infantry, cavalry, and artillery, are continued
to collect in Andalusia, which are destined to
form part of the great expedition. It is. said,
that twenty vessels from Great Britain, Bur
deanx, and Bayonne, had 'arrived at Cadiz,
and intended as transports. 'fits is not alto-
„ether correct ; the only Ships horn England at.
Cadiz were the Sir Stephen Lushington, at 600
tons, and the Adventurer, of 300 tons, but a great
many others were expected ar6the 10th or 12th,
as they all sailed about the sOhe ,ime. Accord-
ing to intelligence received from Peru, the people
of Arancana had sent two Deputies to Lima,
who bad arrived in November last. The ob-
ject of their mission was to seek for arms and
military stores, in order that" the people whom
they represented might defend their hills and val
lies against the Insurgents,, who appeared to
hare laid a plan, to inOttle their territories by the
frontiert nt Chili. The Vicroiov, it is said,
received the'Depuries with every mark of respect,
expressing his determination to supply them with
all sorts of arms, consisting of muskets, lances,
and a Considerable quantity of gunpowder. lie
also advised, that rhey sttonhf.be accompanied by
experienced Officets, whose dory it woidd be
to point out to the inhabitants of Araucana the
hest measures to be adopted to make it difficult tou-
rhe Patriots to penetrate into their country.---

London, England, 1819-04-21

PANS IS.

Mr. Enron—As a passage in the learned and
elegant Blackstone ha►li been misconstrued and
misapplied, it may at this moment be proper to
explain it. After stating the conduct Papists,
and the occasional penalties they were subject to,
he says, '' If a time shall come (and perhaps it is
not very distant), when all fears of a Pretender
shall have vanished, and the power and influence
of the Pope shall become feeile, ridiculous, and
contemptible, not only in England, but in every
Kingdom of Europe, it
.probably would not then
be amiss to review and soften these rigorous
edicts ; at least till the civil principles of the Ro-
man Catholics called again upon the Legislature
to renew.them."

This, he then says, .has partly been done by the
statute of 'IS 60, by such of them as
take the oath of
,allegiance to the King, abjure the
Pretender, renounce: the civil supremacy of the
Pop?, and abhor the doctrine of destroying and
not keeping faith with heretics, or deposing and
murdering Princes excommunicated.
These are the words of our great Commentator,
which only relate to the religion of Papists ; and
such was the prescience of this admirable writer,
that in thirteen years after, the statute of the 31
Geo. 111. ch. 32. repealed all penalties against
them, and put them under the same toleration as
Protestant Dissenters. Ilis comments did not ex-.
tend to admit them into civil trust and power. Far
from it. Schism is not an object of temporal co-
ercion ; it may be the effect of disordered intel-
lect, hypocrisy, or civil advantage ; but if it
threaten, in practice, ruin or destruction to the
State, the Civil Magistrate is bound to repress it,
and protect the Established Church ; and not to
admit any but its genuine members into offices of
trust and emolument, as a matter of favour and
discretion.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

Yesterday, the above Sessions commenced be-
fore F. CoNsT, Esq. the Chairman, at Flick's
Hall.

Charles Henderson, toll-gate-keeper at Maryle-
hone, was prosecuted for a misdemeanour, in
having unlawfully and extorsively demanded the
sum ofid. front T. Stirling, Esq. Coroner for the
County of Middlesex
Mr. Stirling stated, that on passing Tottenham-
court-road, in a chaise, he paid Id. and _received
a ticket. When he art ived at Marylebone gate,
which was kept 'by Henderson, he was stopped by
the prisoner, although he knew the ticket autho-
rized his passing. Mr. S told him the number.
The defendant said, that would not do, anti Mr. S.
produced the ticket, which defendant objected to,
and said he must pay the penny,or he should not pass.
Mr. Stirling'remonstrated with him, and told him
who he was, and where he was to be found.—
This had not the desired effect, and to prevent al-
tercation, Mr. Stirling gave the.penny, which
dropped anon .the ground, and a by-stander. ob-
served, that, " it was no payment of the toll."—
Mr. Stirling then called to the boy to hiind him-
the penny, which he (Mr. Stirling) immediately
handed in due form to the tollgate-man, and re-
ceived a ticket_ He went to Hatton•garden, and
was advised to indict the defendant, which he
thought it necessary to do, after baring ascertain-
ed, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that the de-
mand was an imposition.
Mr. Stirling expressed a wish that the !lour(
would he lenient upon the defendant, as he had js
large family, and lid generally a good character.
The prosecutor added, that he should not have
brought the case before the Court, bad it not
been for his duty to the public.
In sentencing. the prisoner, the Court stated,
that his crime was the:more heavy as there was
no security against practices of this kind. The
humane interference of Air. Stirling, and the con-
sideration that a large family depended upon the
prisoner for support, should induce the' Court to
visit his gnilt lightly. But the prisoner might be
assured that a repetition of the offence should be
dealt with severely. In the expectation that thii
caution would operate to prevent imposition under
such circumstances, the Court adjudged that the
tollgate-keeper should pay the flue a 405., and
be discharged.
Afterwards the Court, upon learning that the
defendant could not raise the money by laudable
means, stated, that the judgment having been
given against the offence and not the person, the
Court reconsidered the ease, and ordered him to
,be discharged on paytnent of a shilling.
Tollgate-keeper.—" I'll take care bow I do it
'again."

-We have often spoken of the piratical acts per.,
petrated by adventurers of all nations, under pre.
tence of authority from the South'American Pro-
vinces in a state of-insurrection. It is somewhat
remarkable, that the first nation which has step.
ped forward to repress them by a formal Legisla-
tive Act is the United States of North America.
The, two 'louses of Congress passed -a Law,
which was ratified on the 3d of March, by the
President, entitled," An Act to protect the Com..
'tierce of the United States, .and to punish the

made by the Post-Office, with regard to the re-
ceipt of letters from Spain. Formerly they came
to hand on a Tuesday, when there was little or
no time for answers, but they are now, received
on a Monday, by which means a, clear day is
gained.

PARLIAMILNTARY PAPERS.

FIRST REPORT FROM THE SELECT COMMITTEE OF
THE HOUSE OF COMMONS ON FINANCE.-(1819
The Select Committee on Finance, re-appoint-
ed in an early part of the present Session, have
made their First Report to Parliament, which
entbraPes the probable Income 80(1 Expenditure
of the Country for the current year.—The Com-
mittee s►ate---

Ist. tie denial produce or the Retenue in the
year ended sth Jauu-,ry, 1819, as compared with
the c.,l!:ifite.. contained in the Fourth Report of
the Committe ; and
2d. The actual produce of the Revenue in the
same year, as ec•npared with the actual produce
jn the year ending 5h Jarnary, 1818.
generid tesult of this comparison is, that
the permanent Revenue of Great Britain, in the
year ended sth January, 1819, exceeded the esti-
mate of the Committee by the sum of 1,434,8561.,
in addition tow;; Hs there was the sum of 566,6391.,
received on account of the- arrears of unappro-
priated war duties, making, together, the sum
of 2,051,4951.

In Ireland, the sum received fell short of the
Estimate of the Comtnittee by the sum of 392,9211.
The total amount of the Revenue of Great
Britain and Ireland; in the year 1818, was
53,563,9371. being 1,658,5731. more than the
estimated produce. If, from this excess, there
be deducted, the amount of unappropriated war
duties as stated above (viz 566,6391.) then the
produce of the permanent Revenue for the
last year will have exceeded the estimate by
1,091,9341. By adding to the aforementioned
sum of 53,563,9371. the. sum of 240,0001. as the
profit of the Lottery, and 250,0001. as the pro-
duce of Old Na►al Stores, the public revenue of
the country for the year 1818, will have amounted
to 54,053,9371.

The next point of comparison instituted by the
Committee, relates to the aggregate p►orluce of
the Revenue in the two years ended sth January,
and sth January, 1819. From this it ap-
pears, that the total Revenue of Great Britain for
the latter period, exceeded the total Revenue for
the former, by the sun► of 1,705,5101. The Re-
venue of iteland for the saute period, chews an
increase in favour of the last year of 192,969/.,
which, added to the sum of 1,705,5101., makes
a total improvement of the Revenue of the United
Kingdom, Of 1,898,479/.
The probable expenditure of the United King-
dom for the corrent year is estimated at 67,779,882/.
In !waking this estimate the Committee mention
that they have not taken into their consideration
any increased expense which may arise, out of the
manner in which provision,may he made for meet-
ing the supplies of the present year,, or for the
expense vOliich may attend any me►►sure which may
be taken with a view of reducing any part of the
unfunded debt. But no considerable additional
expense is expected to be incurred by the latter
operation to whatever extent it may be ,carried.

THE PERSIAN ANII3ASSADOR, &c.

The Persian Ambassador and the Fair Circas
sian and suite, arrived yesterday afternoon, a;out
five o'clock, at their new residence in eh:tries-
street, Berkeley-apiare, from The caval-
cade consisted of four carriages. They. enteed
town by Westminster-hridge, and passed up Par-
liament-street, Cockspur-street, and down NU-
mall, to their destination, His Excellency and
his fair companion rode in the first windage,
the blinds to the side windows of which were
down, anti most maliciously obstructed- the cu-
rious eye ot the pas,enger, eager to catch a
glimpse of the fair Circassian. The laic car-
riage in the set was an open landau, in
which were seated the black Eunuchs, in the
costume of their country and their calling.—
Many persons in the route stopped and gazed, un-
conscious of the persons who composed the caval-
cade. A few who, from the appearance ot the
black eunuchs, suspected it was the Persian Am-
bassador and suite, followed the cavalcade into
Pall-mall,expecting to seeit stop at Carlton-house.
It is.needless to add, that they were disappointed.

Yesterday Charles Louis Schweitzer was charged
before Mr. BIRNIE. at Bow-street, on suspicion
of having committed frauds to a considerable.
extent in the city of Paris. That charge, how-
ever, could not be gone into; but Mr. Capper,
of the Alien Office, attended to prefer a charge
against him under the Alien Act, for having come
to England from France without entering his
name and full description, also where he was
from, and where be was going, within the time
directed by the Act of Parliament ; which being
satisfactorily proved, be was committed to Bride-
well fur one mouth.

TO THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL.

SIR—A person, signing himself "T. I.
WOOLER," is the Publisher of a Journal called
" THE BLACK DWARF." In his Paper of Wed-
nesday, April 21, 1819, is the following para-
graph :

" Johnstone, Bagguley, and Drummond have
been convicted, as the Boroughmougers call it, of
Sedition, against their High Majesties, the Sellers
of Seats, and the General Dealera in Corruption,
of Sedition against CAITLEREAGII, CANNING, and
Company, who commit with impunity High
Treason against the Nation."
I presume, Sir, that no occasion exists for
more than drawing your attention to the latter
part of this sentence.

DROGH EDA ELECTION.

Mr. Ley presented at the Bar the redneed list
of the Committee on the Drogheda Election Pe-
tition, viz.—
Sir Thnnias Mostyn, Bart. Joseph Pitt, W. H. Scourfield,
W. E. Powell, J. Blair, J. (Arai% J. Mai tin, C. M. Phil-
lipps, J. Kiely, Dugdale S. Duglade, Ruilert Williaina, C.
S. Lefevre, Hon. T. brand, C. W. W. Wynn, Sir John
Stuart.

On the Members of the above Committee being
called to the Table to be sworn, Joseph Pitt,
Eiq. was found to be absent. Much confusion
arose in consequence thereof, it being impos.ible
for the House to proceed unt;l the Committee
was first disposed of.
Mr. F. Ruvrom moved, that Mr. Pitt should he
taken into custody by the Serjeant•at-Arms.
Mr. DENT said, he had not the honour of being
known to the absent Member, hut he had 1,11
doubt that his absence was quite unintentional.—
At all events he thought the motion was prema-
ture. It was evident ilia' any Member might be
similarly circumstanced, 'and therefore an oppor-
tunity should be afforded him to state the reasons
of his being absent.
Mr. F. BUXTON admitted the propriety of the
remark made by the Hon. Member, and with-
drew his motion.

Lord CAsTLBREAGH ,suggested, that it would be
better to wait, and if a mesienger was dispatched,
he had no doubt the Hon. Member would be
forthcoming.

,The SPEAKER said, that a person had been sent
to the absent Member ; but it was impossible
that a special messenger, belonging to the House,
could be dispatched, without an order to take the
Hon. Member into custody.
Mr. BERNAL observed, that as it was impossible
to tell when the Member might attend, tie ahould
move an adjournment of the House.
The SPEAKER submitted whether such a pro-
ceeding would be advisable. After an interval of
about half en hour,

Mr. I'm appeared in bis place. He expressed
his regret that he should have been an uninten-
tional cause of inconvenience to the House. He
'night have sworn oti, having served on a r!:-
vious Committee. Belpre he left the House 11,!!
bad bee'ri ~listo=ed that his Ingle had been rnarked
off, and that he s!iotild not -be called upon. Par-
ticular business rendered it necessary for hula to
be at hone early. He could assure the House,
that no it ember was more desirous than himself
to obse; ve its rules.

Mr. W. WYNN remarked that the indulgence of
the -Rouse might be fairly extended to the Hon,
Member. The proceeding in other occasions,
was not with the view of punishment, but to in-
sure an attendance of Members.

The List of the Committee was then called over,
and the Members sworn.

SINKING FUND.

Mr. GRENIFELL said, as he saw the Chancellor

pers, to she now far the Sinking Fund might
be applied to form a part of any Lein or Loans
that might be required for the service of the year,
