or starch frOM ankles of food, he had
given notke,
to the manufacturertfrof statth that a se.'
filar measure would be extended to that country.—
oresentations, however, were made by them, that
that article was employed to a considerable extent
the manufacture of linen, the prohibition of the
rch manufacture would seriously affect that of the
Tie c. mmedity,of Ireland. This, on reference to ,
,e linen manufacturers, turned out to be founded in
,a, in constquence of which, and of a memorial
iti, numerous signatures from the North of Irelord.
Government was induced to abandon it. It was
as had been stated by the Honourable Baronet,
he had no intention to violate the Act of Union,'
the measure which he had to propose was solely
- benefit of the country which possessed the
. number of Representatives. Bur would it be
itte fair to allow the Irish manufacturer to supply
it article to this country, which British manufac-
rer3 were prohibited from Cupplying The Right
,onourable Gentleman then rektred to an article of
the Act of Union, which he conceived justified the
"ibition, by which it was provided that the enact-
: above mentioned should not affect the regula-
of the exportation of corn flour, of which latter
tele starch was exclusively manufactured. He
tcluded by moving the previous question.
Mr. PONSONBY said,- that he should have no
ijection to the previous question being moved, as
,le thought the subject might be better discussed
when the Bill was brought forward. As to the con-
struction which had been.put on the article respect-
ing the export of flour, &à, it would not bear mirth.
noon, for it would be ealy perceived to what an
Rich an explanation Might be carried.
Mr. VANSITTART said, that the measure of
which his Right Honourable rriend (Mr.Peele) had
'iven notice, was wholly in favour of Ireland. Great
.itain laboured under two prohibitions • for while
to starch was permitted to be manufactured, it was
impossible to export any ; while Ireland was not
tohibited from manufacturing, but only from ex-
porting. If this measure were not adopted, the pro-
hibition of the manufacture in Britain would be nu-
-tory, as the British merchants might carry on the
ufacture in Ireland with British grain, and im-
the produce into this country. He contended
the clause as to the export of grain, &c. applied
to starch, as the House had sancuoned the applica-
tion of it to spirits.
Sir JOHN NEWPORT replied. By the expla-
nation which had been given of the article concern-
ing grain, the Act of Union might be rendered en-
tirely null. He appealed to the House whether this
clause had been applied to spirits, as in that discus-
sion an entirely different plea had been set up. Alive
as he was to the interests of the linen manufacture,
he was persuaded that if one infringement was suf-
fered on the Act of Union, pleas would never be
wanting for, any infraction of it. The bond lay be-
'fore them ; it was to the litera scripta of the bond,
and to the meaning -which had been attributed to it
by its proposers, and not the glosses now put on it,
that he should appeal. He had no objection to the
discussion coming on at a future time, but he had
thuught it better to meet the measure in liming, which
opposition being recorded, he should not divide the
House on the present occasion. The Right Hon.
Baronet concluded by entreating the Right Honour-
able Gentlemen opposite to consider the subject at-
tentively, as it should surely be an object of para-
mount importance alone which should induce a de-
parture from such a compact.—The previous ques-
tion was then put and carried on the first resolution,
when—
Lord CASTLEREAGH presented, from the
Prince Regent, additional papers relative to the Ne.
gociations with America.
Mr. WHITBREAD asked, whether all the pa-
pers which had been presented to the American Con-
gress had been laid before the House ?
Lord CASTLEREAGH said, that he was not
certain as to that point, but he should have no objec-
tion to such a measure.
Sir J. NEWPORT's second Resolution was then
also negatived by the previous question.
Mr. WHAM ON moved for leave to bring in a
Bill to grant a Drawback of the Duties on the Coals
used for raising the Ore from the Mines of Cornwall
and Devonshire.—Leave given.
Mr. H. MARTIN moved the second reading of
the Deputy-Remembrancer of the Exchequer Bill.
He observed, that it would depend on the reception
it met with from the Gentlemen opposite, whether
cr no he shi uld trouble the House at length.
Mr. VANSITTART said; that to the principle
of the Bill he could have no objection ; as he under-
stood that the Gentlemen of the profession were not
catistied with its details, he should consult with the
learned persons of the Court of Exchequer, to be en-
bk(,_ to form an opinion on it.
Mr. MARTIN said, that the Bill had met with
the approbation of the profession, and that copies
had been stibmitted to the Judges of the Court in
question, who had expressed no disapprobation of rt.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, that he, a
Member, however insignificant of the profession, had
never seen the Bill before its introductien. As
the principle could not be approved, he should re-
serve himself for the Committee, where it would be
seen whether it would be possible to remould the
Bill, in such a manner as to obviate the numerous
objections to which its regulations were liable. The
Judges, he understood, had by no means intended to
give any approbation to the details of the Bill.
Sir J. GRAHAM objected to the Bill in its pre-
fent form, and observed, that the Bill, which purpor-
ted to follow a similar one which had passed to re-
vtlate the same office in the Court of Chancery, was
tot like that Act in any one regulation.
Mr. VANSITTART explained, and the Bill was
read a second time.
On the question of commitment, Mr. H. MARTIN
said a few words, when the Bill was ordered to be I
committed on Monday next.
Mr. H. MARTIN then gave notice, that on Fri-
day the 19th he should move for leave to b4.ng in a
Rill to regulate the office of Registrar of the High
• of Admiralty.
IOHN NEWPORT then gave notice, that he
move on Tuesday next for leave to bring in a
I exempt from the Acts affecting Batchelors,

Cy

- Another Cartel has arrived at Liverpool, from
America. She left New-York on the 17th January
and of course brings fourteen days later Intelligence
than the last arrival. The intelligence of the repeal
of the bonds granted by' the m(rchants on British
goods imported, is confirmed, and also the certainty
of Mr. MAtasoN's re-election. When the cartel
sailed, a report was in circulation at New-York, that
Ithe Americans had taken possession of East Florida,
a conquest which, from its proximity to our West-
India Islands, may be productive of much mischief
to the Colonies.
The following Letters from our Correspondents at
Liverpool, contain the substance of all the intel-
ligence which has transpired on the above arrival :

" LIVERPOOL, FEBRUARY 9.

it The cartel brig Catherine Ray, arrived here to-
day from New-York, which port she left on the 17th
ult. She confirm. the accounts brought by the Orbit,
of Mr. VIADISON'S re-election being certain. A law
had passed to prevent procedings being instituted
against the merchants who had-given bonds for Bri:
tish manufactured goods imported by them, and they
have in consequence been given up tc the merchants.
The war had become more popular, in' consequence
of the naval victoria, and a vigorous prosecution of
it is expected in the spring.
" Considerable opposition has been made to Gene-
ral ARMSTRONG'S being appointed Secretary at War.

" General HULL was to be tried by a Court Mar-
tial on the Ist of February.

44 A Bill was about to be passed to raise 25,000
men, and for borrowing 20,000,000 of dollars. Ito
64 These are all the particulars I can collect, arid
I believe they are correct ; but neither letters nor pa-
pers have yet been delivered, and I am told the
Transport Board has ordered the whole to London,
for their inspection, to the great incBnvenience of the
merchants. It surely would have answered every
purpose to have empowered their Agent here to in-
spect the letters, and this is what the merchants
wished."

ANOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE.
a We learn the following from a passenger by the
cartel Catherine Ray, Captain Him, 2'2 days from
New York, bringing intelligence from America up
to the 17th ofJantaary. The returns of electors for
President and Vice-President bad been received, and
the re-election of Mr. MADISON was ascertained be-
yond all doubt. The following are the returns :

in consequence of the absence of one of the eleclors, occasioned
by indisposition.

" A law has been passed directing the Secretary
of the Treasury to remit the fines, forfeitures, and
penalties incurred under the Non-Intercourse Laws
in all cases of bona fide American property shipped
between the 23d of June last and the 15th of Sep-
tember last ; and also directing the discontinuance
of all prosecutions instituted for the recovery of said
forfeitures, on payment of the regular duties. This
law does not extend to property introduced through
the British provinces, but only such as was shipped
direct from Great Britain and Ireland, and purchased
before the declaration of wa was known.
" A change in the Cabinet had taken place, and
further changes were meditated. General Armstrong
is Secretary at War, in place of Dr. Eustis, resigned.
Capt. William Jones, of Philadelphia, succeeds the
Hon. Paul Hamilton, as Secretary of the Navy, also
resigned.—lt is conjectured that Mr. Gallatin is to
be made Secretary of State, and Mr. Monroe to be
transferred to the chief command of the present and
future army. The present Comptroller of the Trea-
sury, Mr. Rush, is talked of as the intended successor
of Mr. Gallatin.
" A Bill to authorize the building of four seventy-
fours and six frigates has passed both Houses, and
received the signature of the President.
66 The Pennsylvania Legislature, 70 to 20, have
voted for building a frigate for the use of the United
States.
66 The Constellation, 36 guns, has !ken put in

ambit" Wet the eamatand of Captin Stewart,
and is at sea.

..
...

44 Tae Adams, 82 guns, has also been prepared
for sea, and given to Captain Mortis, Captain Hull's

'Lieutenant, and has been promoted in consequence
of his conduct in the (uerriere action.
•" The Macedonian had arrived at New York, and
was repairing for sea. Captain Jones, of the Wasp,
was to take the command of her. Captain Decatur
has advised that the new frigates be constructed after
the model of the Macedonian.

" A public dinner has been given at New York to
the sailors who captured the Macedonia, and they
were afterwards invited to an entertainment at the
Theatre, on which occasion the Pit was given up to
them, and entertainments exhibited in honour of the
victory.

" The Hon. Timothy Pickering, is elected a mem-
ber of the next Congress, and so is A. C .Hanson, Esq.
the gentleman who defended his house against the mob
at Baltimore ; yet it is certain that there will be a
large majority to support the present administration.
" Mr. Baker, Secretary of Legation, is to take
passage in the Pacific, which was expected to leave
New York as the next cartel.

16 General Hull, it is said, has been exchanged
for 10 soldiers, and will be tried without delay."

The Duke of Kent Packet has arrived at Fal- 1
mouth, with a Mail, from Lisbon, in five days.-1
The intelligence from that quarter is highly gratify.'
ing—every preparation is making to open the cam-
paign in an imposing and efficient manner. The
French are certainly preparing to decamp from Va-
lencia at last, for they have commenced the usual
system of destroying the fortifications and burning
the houses; previous to taking a final leave.
The report of the POICTIERS, of 74 guns, having
captured one American frigate, and destroyed anny
ther, has reached Lisbon as well as this country. It
will not be matter of surprise to us-to find it officially
confirmed.

The following are extracts from the Lisbon papers:
" LISBON, FEB. 2.

" We shortly expect to hear of the opening of a
campaign which is expected to be short, briUiant,
and decisive.

64 Yesterday the hussar brigade arrived here.
64 We have a report here of his Majesty's ship
Poic-rmas hatving fallen in with two large American
ships, one of which was sunk, and the other taken."
" LISBON, JANUARY 2L

dg They write from Madrid, under date of the 14th
instant, that on the 11th, 800 French had set out for
France, in addition to those which, during the two
preceding days, had proceeded on the same destina-
tion.•--On thy 12th, many carriages arrived in that
city from Toledo ; the escort assert, that 12,000 men
are to pass through the capital. Empecinado's troops
wore on the same evening in Portasgo de Aranjnei,
where they made two Frenchmen prisoners.,
44 On the 13th, it was reported, the Spanish ca-
valry in Villa da Tomeloso had had a fortunate en-
counter with the French ; and that the 12,000 men
who marched towards Valencia, had returned to
Quintanal de la Orden.

" On the 14th General Droubit marched with 150
gens d'armes, for Arganda ; it is said that Joseph is
to set out for Guadalasara, and that the French from
Castile and Leao have received orders to unite in
Burgos. Offarel, and Orquije, have fallen under
Joseph's displeasure. Soult continues in Toledo, oc-
cupying himself with destroying the best buntings,
and in collecting, by means of flying columns, the
contribution with which he has oppressed the unfor•
nate towns."

" SEVILLE. JANUARY 22.

" We are assured that 10,000 French, with com-
petent artillery, are marching towards Cuenca, taking
with them the garrisons which they had in Mora,
Orgaz, and Arsofin. The Calatrava Regiment of
Cavalry lately had an encounter with the enemy who
had arrived at Beiosar."

" GR.ANDO, JANUARY 4.

gi There is now no doubt but what the French will
evacuate Valencia, pouring upon it in their wrath the
utmost excess of their iniquity. The plundering of
the city lasted five days. In their greediness for
plunder, they did not even leave the inhabitants their
clothes ; they destroyed the furniture, the ornaments
of the churches, &c. ; but even all this will not bear
a comparison with what they practised at Alcoy,
whose unfortunate citizens witnessed the destruction
of their excellent manufactories—all was destroyed,
burnt, or rendered useless."

The Marquis of BUCKINOHAbI has beeiiieriously
indisposed, but is now considered out of danger.
The Clergy of the Archdeaconry of York, and the
West Riding, have resolved to petition against the
Catholic Clams.

Letters from Cadiz mention the arrival of 280 ves-
sels loaded with flour, averaging 300 tons each—the
price 14s. per barrel.
The American ship Fair American is arrived at
Cadiz, after having been captured by four French fri-
gate:, and ransomed. They had taken 14 American
vessels with provisions, and sunk them.
Letters received at Jamaica from Guadaloupe state,
that flour had been so scarce in that island, as to be
selling at 45 dollars per barrel.
All differences between the Algerines and the
Spaniards have been adjusted in the most satisfactory
manner.

WEYMOUTH, FEBRUARY s.
Early this morning we heard of a vessel di iven on ,
:hose about six miles to the westward of Portland;
but on our arrival at the spot she was totally gone to
pieces, and, I am sorry to add, all on board had pe-
rished. She is supposed to be a foreign brig in bal.
last, and built of Er ; but, no part of either cargo or
vessel have come on shore, nor have any papers or
other articles, by which we can ascertain her name.
Three dead bodies have washed on shore : thsy. ap.
pear to be foreign seamen.—The Chesterfield packet,
bound from hence for Guernsey and Jersey, with a
mail, has returned without landing it, she having
fallen in with a French luggar privateer, near Al.
derney, and exchanged several shots. The privateer
steered for the French coast, and the packet for this
port.--A French luggar piivateer was seen lions
Portland this morning.
