to the sale of Old Stores, by ttie departments of
the Navy and Ordnance, such sales having been
effected by private bargains or private contracts.
Though he wished a return froth the Navy Beard,
he believed all sales in that department took
place by public competition. He did understand
that a contrary practice existed fir the Ordnance
department. Ile did not think that any Public'
Board could act upon a system of private contracts,
fit the-sale of public property, with safety. It
had been the custom 40 or 50 years ago,and was ap-
plied to the most corrupt purposes. He should then
contine himself to the motion, that there be laid_
before the House an Account of all Naval Old
'Stores sold under the authority of the Navy
Bourd by private contract' or private bargain,
specifying the provisions, the prices, the names
of .The purchasers - for the years 1815-16.;
-1,7-IS-1...9-20. And the like account for the same
periods for the Ordnance.
. Mr. W.san- did not rise to oppose the moe
tioe, with an exception' to one particular
part, which he should explain,—Sonme sales had
taken place in the Department of the Ordnance
ir,:ier private contracts, by which time was
seiven to the purchasers, and the Board bound
itself not to divulge the names of the purchasers,
or the terms, until the expiration of that period.
Elie
agreed with the Hon. Member (Mr. Grenfell)
that public competition was the most desi:able,
. for every public Board, reserving to itself a
discretionTof adopting a private sale, where the
interests of the public recommended that course.
He had.no objection on the part of the Depart-
.•rtent with which he was connected, to pledge
- himself to that system. Ile only wished at pre-
: it,:nt to except from the' return sought by the pre-
ent motion, those contracts Which had been ef-
fected undera temporary secresy.
Sir T. B. MARTIN stated that public competi-
tion was the 'uniform practice in the sale of old
stores by- the Navy Board. There was an ex-
.et-Ftioh in a case where public competition was,
frst tried, but where more advantageous terms
to the public were obtained by private bargains.
• Mr. GREN FELL did not-find any fault with such
an arrangement, when it was the only mode they
• could obtain. He wished no violation of the
vAlic faith with respect to those contracts to
which. a temporary secresy was pledged. -He-
trusted, however, that the Honourable Gentle-
.nean (Mr. Ward) Would have no objection to
furnish an enumeration of -those contracts, in
Which the stipulatiosinot to divulge, for a certain
time, the names of the parties, was pledged.

Mr. Alderman Woon wished to know how
long it would be before the time for not divulg-
"inz the contracts of Mr. Samuels .and another
p= sea would expire ?
• Mr.-R. WARD was understood to say in August
next year.
Aft, r a few words from Mr. Alderman
atisG-Es, and some farther observations from
Mr: GRENTELL and Mr. R. WARD, the motion
respecting the Navy Stores was agreed to with-
out amendment ; and that relative to the Ord-
nance; with the amendment moved by Mr. R.

:January became the subject of c.onvem.-tioa
;at the Red. Lion, Hampton, where the plain-
tiff and several companions had been dritA.
ing. The Plaintiff, who described himself to.
be a Queen's man, said he would sign no Aildr:ss
.to his Majesty, using at the same time most
'decent expressions, which he applied to the So-
vereign and his royal brother the Duke of Cla-
retice. The Defendant, Elpick, considering the
words an insult to his Royal Master and hiiirwlf,
horsewhipped the Plaintiff. '

It was yesterday reported in the City, that a
secret intercourse between Count Ciro D'is-
TRIA and Baron STROGONOFF had been disco-
vered, and had been communicated to the
Sublime Porte by the Emperor of RUSSIA, who
had disapproved of it, and that in consequence
STIZOGONOFF and CAPO &ISTRIA had fallen into
disgrace. This rumour was for a time believed,
and excited much agitation in the City.

Two Hamburgh, one Dutch, and one Flanders
Mails, arrived this morning. We have extracted

e chief contents as follow :

" \VILNA, JUNE 9.7.--i—The latest accounts from
St. Petersburg!' positively contradict preceding
reports, which affirmed that a misunderstanding
had arisen between the . Courts of St. Peters-
burgh and London, with respect to the affairs of
Greece and Turkey. ft is asserted on the con-
trary, with much probability, that the two Cabi-
nets jointly use their influence with the Porte to
induce it to accept the mediation of the Chris-
tian Powers in favour of its Greek subjects. It
is indeed doubted, and not without reason, whe-
ther the intended object can be obtained by an
amicable interference. But at all events the
happiest result may be expected, when the
greatest military and the greatest naval powers
in Europe unite their efforts for the attainment
of the same end.

And where are they ? and where art thou,

My country ? On thy voiceless shore
The heroic lay is tuneless now—
The heroic bosom beats no more !
And must thy lyre, so long divine,
Degenerate into hands like mine ?

'Tis something, in the dearth of fame,
Though link'd among a fetter'd lace,
To feel at least a patriot's shame,
Even as I sing, suffuse my face ;
For what is left the poet here ?
For Greeks a blush—for Greece a tear.

Must WE but weep o'er days more blest ?
Must WE but blush ?—Our fathers bled.
Earth render back from out thy breast
A remnant of our Spartan dead !
Of the three hundred grant but three,
To make a new Thermopylx !

What, silent still ? and silent all ?
Ah ! no ;—the voices of the dead
Sound like a distant torrent's fall,
And answer, Let one living head,
But one arise,—we come, we come !'
'Tis but the living who are dumb.

In vain—in vain : strike other chords :
Fill high the cup with Saurian wine !
Leave battles to the Turkish hordes,
And shed the blood of Scio's vine !
Hark ! rising to the ignoble call—
How answers each bold bacchanal!

You have the Pyrrhic dance as yet,
Where is the Pyrrhic phalanx gone ?
Of two such lessons, why forget
The noblernd the manlier one ?
You have theletters Cadmus gave—
Think ye he meant them for a slave ?

Fill high the bowl with Samian wine !
We will not think of themes like these;
It made Anacrcon's song divine :
He served—but served Polycrates—
A tyrant ; but our masters then
Were still, at least, our countrymen.
The tyrant of the Chersonese

\ITs freedom's best and bravest friend ;
THAT tyrant was Illiltiades !
Oh ! that the present hour would lend
Another despot of the kind !
Such chains as his were sure to bind.

Fill high the bowl with Samian wine !
On Suli's rock, and Parga's shore,
Exists the remnant of a line

Such as the Doric mothers bore ;
And there, perhaps, some seed is sown,
The Ileracleidan blood might own.

Trust not for freedorreto the Franks--
They have a king who buys and sells ;
In native swords, and native ranks,
The only hope of courage dwells ;
But Turkish force, and Latin fraud,
Would break your shield hoWever broad.
Fill high the bowl with Samian wine !
Our virgins dance beneath the shade—
I see their glorious black eyes shine ;
But gazing on each glowing maid,
illy own the burning tear-drop Lives,
To think such breasts must suckle slaves.
Place me on Sunium's marbled steep--
Where nothing, save the waves and I,
illav hear our mutual murmurs sweep ;
There, swan-like, let me sing and die :
A land of slaves shall ne'er be mine—
Dash down yon cup of Samian wine.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.

Mr. JAMES MunlE, the celebrated Medalist,
was brought up to be heard on his petition to be
discharged. Mr. 13Alluy opposed his discharge
on behalf of Mr. JouN C;LEVERLY, nurseryman,
Stamford-hill.
It appeared from Mr. Mr:lmes examination, that his in-
solvency entirely proceeded from the great expence he had. in-
curred in the publication of a series of national medals to com-
memorate the achievements of the late war, on the plan of the
grand series struck- at Paris, at the instance of Buonaparte.
Mr. Mudie, it appeared from the examination, had expended
in the undertaking considerably more than the whole amount
of his debts, which is 7,0001. He stated, that he was induced
to enter on the undertaking by the hope that Government would
consider it as a national work, and grant him appropriate re-
muneration. After' the expenditure had taken place, he had
received assurances from several Members Of , Parliament that
they would support a petition in his favour; but when the
Chancellor of the Exchequer was applied to on the subject, he
discountenanced any application to Parliament, in consequence
of the present state of the finances of the country.
Mr. MuDrE, in accounting for(his property, stated, that he
had lodged all his busts, which were of considerable value, in
the hands of his bankers, as security to them for a debt of 1,1001.;
the surplus to be appropriated to the payment of his other cre-
ditors. Among the bitsts was one of Buonaparte, by Canova,
which the late President of the Royal Academy, Sir Benjamin
West, valued at 500 guineas, and said cc he would draw from
it, but that he was afraid of being thought a Buonapartist."
Mr. IIIUDIE had also placed the dies from which the national
medals were to be struck, and which had cost him upwards of
7,0001., in the hands of proper persons for the benefit of his cre-
ditors ; and his whole conduct evinced so great ,a regard for
their interest, that the Court declared there was not the slightest
ground for the opposition, and ordered 'him to be discharged
forthwith. The Court also appointed one of his bankers as-
signee to his estate.

• %It The series of NATIONAL MEDALS referred to in the
above report, is so honourable to the Country, in recording the
events of the glorious war which, stimulated by the persever-
ance, and under the auspices, of Great Britain, effected the, deli-
verance and established the independence of Europe, rePresent-
ing also the British Heroes who were engaged in the memo-
rable achievements, that such a National Celebration strongly
demanded the protection of Government. It may, therefore, be
a subject of even public regret that the enterprizing Proprietor
should fall a victim to his patriotic zeal. We may really on
this occasion say with STERNE, that " they order .these things
better in France."

Mr. L-Amn-roN, seeing the Right Honourable.
the "President of the Board of -Controul in his
plate, begged to ask him a question relative to a
report which he understood was very prevalent
in India, namely, that. it was the intention of his
Majesty's Government to put in felt force the
CenSorship of the Press, which had been removed
by the Aiarquess of, -Hastings. He wished to
know from the Right Honourable Gentleman,
whether such was the intention of his Majesty's
Government ?-

Mr. BATHURST said, his. attention had been
drawn to..this. subject, and he could assure the
Honourable Member that there existed no such
intention on the part of Government—(Bear !)
The regulations made by the Marquess of ilast
ings were in full force, and it was the intention of
Government that they should remain so.
Mr. LAlvinTo'N expressed himself perfectly
satisfied with the answer of the Right Honoura-
ble Gentleman.

THE KING.

•
The following extract from The Times of this
day, respecting the-reception of His MAJESTY at
the Theatres, is so
_shameless a contradiction of
.that fact which was witnessed by many hundreds,
-We might. truly say by .thotisands of his loyal
•p.eciple, that we need not make any comment ,on
th.e subject: All the other OppoSition Papers,
particularly , The _Horning ,Chronicte gild The
gritish Preis, gave as just.and impartial an at-,
cotiut of the enthusiastic acclamations of loyalty
with which His AJESTY was received ,at both
Theatres as could be expected from the most san-
guine of thOse Journals which are styled Minis-
terial. Why His MAJ ESTY should be blamed fur
_bowing and ,pressing his hand. upon his breast iu
testimony of his deep Sense and heart-felt plea-
sure on receivinc, such ardent, such reiterated,
and we may add such universal bursts of loyal
affection, with hardly more than half a • dozen
despicable exceptions, at both Theatres, we leave
to all wise, good, and feeling peopleto 'determine,
" One solitary flag, and half a score of hand,
kerchiefs, waved so as to catch the eye or Roy.- -
alty, were sufficient to attest design, and disgrace.
the execution of it : a mob of - hireling bawlers,
or creatures worse than ordinary hirelings, who,
are either already paid out of the public purse,'
or mean hereafter to impose the price of their
own services, yelled discordantly; and pom of
them, we know, felt shame at the employinenti'
and heartily wished it over. The QUEEN received
tire well-ordered homage of the people with dig- -
pity, sakaque e'erenda Majestate—with head and
heart erect. But, good Goy ! that we should
have lived to see a King of ENGLAND bowing in
a play-house, with his hand pressed to his breast,
—and that, not to the ordinary auditory of such
places, but to an audience, the active part of
which were mere creatures sent thither to ap-
plaud ; -and who, under the solicitation of equal.
hopes or expectations, would do the same to his
greatest enemy. Let the nation recollect what
wets said of. her MAJESTY, when by accident her
affairs brought her into the City, and the willing-
people trooped after her carriage with their rode •
but honest acclamations. This comes of debasing
royalty by Bills of Pains and Penalties,,by secret
commissions, and Italian swearers,"

STRATHMORE I% STRATHMORE.
This Was a 'PIA in Bar arising out of r hill
that had been :filed by-the next akin of the said
plaintiff, the infant son of the late Earl of Strath-
more_, for,;the,purpose of carrying the tkusts bf the
late' Earl'S, Will into execution ; and the present
defendant, theJion. Thomas Bowes, the 'brother
of the late Earl, entered his Plea io the plain(iff's
bill, putting his legitiMacy at issue.
Messrs. HART, IIoRNE, and SMADWELL were,
heard in support of the plea ; and from theii
argnm. etas it appeared, that the plaintiff had
been boki. before solemnization of the marriage of
the Countess of Strathmore with his late father,
and that he claimed the title and estates of. the
Earldom .Of Strathmore, by virtue of a Scottish
Law Which extends the privileges of legitimacy
to those,. whose parents, being dorniciliated sub-
jects of Scotland, may subsequently marry..
The Loan CHANCELLOR declared that with-
out entering into the question of jurisdiction the
plea could not be maintained ; but that it, way
only in the House of Peers that the question
between the parties could be' determined.

The Earl of LivEnsoor. had. no

whatever: Any day was equzilly emm,niettt to

diought that it ought to be done with as little

tended -to Move for the production of ce.
Papers relative to the state of our internal Tr-ade.
The objects were not exactly the same, but there
existed that connexion between thorn, which led
hint to wish-that the two motions should be made

his motion until Wednesday next. The motion
was then agreed to.
The Earl of ItossLYN then moved for the con-
