NITRIC FUMIGATION.

Mr. WiLnERFORCI Paid, he rofe for the pur-
port• of difcharging a debt of juffice, in moving
an Addrcfs to his Majelly on the Petition of Dr.
Gt miciiael Smyth. It would be remembered,
the, many weeks lime a Petition had been pre-
-I:nted by Dr. Cat michad Smyth, refpelling Nitric
Fumigation, for preventing the communication
of contagion. That Petition was referred to a
Committee, who, after a long and laborious in-
veitigaiitu, of the fisbjeCt, had prtfcnted a Report,
which had been loose time on the table, and
which, togethti• w ith the Appendix, would, he
had no doubt, have the cffeti of convincing the
gi eater part of that Houfe of the juaice of Dr.
Smyth's claim to a remuneration for his exertions.
The efficacy of the invention had been fully aril,.
lilhed : of its importance there could be no doubt,
whilit Dr. Smyth bad a jolt claim to originality
hi the invention, which was the refult of much
laborious Rudy. Dr. Smyth had given it to the
public, of whom he was juilly entitled to claim a
remuneration, fincc it was a difcovery for the be-
nefit of the public, and the Inventor could have
no capenation of reward from individuals. The
Appendix to the Report fufficiently pointed out
the benefits which had refultcd from this difcovery,
in picventing the communication of contagion ;
and not only that, but it Wined the ill effeCts of
contagious difeafes in the individual aCtually affliCt.
ed by thole difeafcs. Ile had underflood that it
was neceffiry to infert a fpccific font in the addrefs,
in doing which he experienced fome difficulty. If
he had inferted a turn proportioned to the merits
of the individual, it would have appeared much
too large: he thought, however, that a moderate
fum might he mentioned, which, whiff} it ferved
as f ire remuneration to Dr. Smyth, it would at
the rime time more effeCtually operate to Ramp
the difcovery with the imprellion of public utility,
and would be confidered as a tellimony of the ap-
probation of that Houle as to the merits of the
invention. He had, therefore, inferted the fum
of 50-)01. which lie thought was fo moderate, that
there could be no objeEtion to it. He concluded
by moving, ‘. That an humble Addrefs fhould
be prefenzed to hisMajelty, praying that he would
be gracionily pleated to give directions that a fum
not exceeding 50001. Ihould be advanced to Dr.
James Carmichael Smyth, and that the Houfe
would make good the fame."
. .

Mr. Ea SIC*I74 c feconded the Motion. He couli
hatdly conceive, he laid, a greater body of evi.
dcnce to etablith any fait than that by which the
benefit ref-idling from the difcovery of Dr. Smyth
had ~cut proved.
Mr. Davto Scorr obferved that the Nitric Fu.
triz.ition had been tried in the Ead India Service,
an] load admirably fucceeded in preventing the
enaununication of contagion. There was even
lo ne reafon to believe that it might be effectually
itl.:d in preventing the communication of the
PI igue.
Lord Ott SPi ft ',tit:, Mr. COURT!. VAY, General
L•tries, and Sit ANDREW SNAPE HAMMOSD, all
fp t::e ;n favour of the difcovery.
Till: CH ANCLLIMIt of th ICHECIIJER Paid, he
thought it his duty to ex. inc with the utmod
le(
caution, the applications ade to that Houfe for
putlic mr.n4 The body of evidence, however,
which was contained in the Report on the Peti-
tion of Dr. :,myth, was fully folflicient to induce
hint to confent to the prefent Motion, as he thought
nothing wa, ever more indifputably made out than
the efficacy and importance of this difcovery, and
alfi the exclutive claim of Dr. Carmichael Smyth
to the merit of the difcovery. He was convinced
that in contenting to the prefent Motion, which
would (lamp the difcovery with pubiic approba-
tion, he was doing jullice to the individual, and
performing an act of real benevolence, not only to
this country, but to the whole Univerfe.

Colonel Wools hoped the Right Hon. Gentle-
man (the Chancellor of tie Exchequer) would
have no objection to allowin; Dr. Smyth his ex-
pnces.
The CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEVER Lid, it
would be invidious to make any di:lindion be-
tween this cafe and others which had preceded it,
but it would he for the wifdom of the Houle to
confider of any method of exonerating the indi-
viduals to whom their remunerations were given,
from the expences attendant upon fuch votes,which
confilled of fees fairly and juflly due to fevcral
Officers, under the fandion of Parliament.

The, Motion was then put and carried sem. con.
Adjourned.

This morning we received French Journals of
the 21ft. The price of grain in fome parts of
France has begun to fall, and the crop in the
neighbourhood of Paris has a promifing appear-
ance. Nothing further is Paid refpeling the elec-
tion of the FIRST CONSUL for life. For other
particulars we refer to the following Extrads
JUNE 21.—Letters from Havre mention
the arrival there of the American 114 China, of
1200 tons, from Batavia, with a cargo valued at
two millions (80,0001. &ding). As this veffel
draws a t French feet, the cannot enter the harbour
in its prefent Qate, and therefore has been obliged
to anchor in the road: the belongs to an individual
of the United States.

We learn from Nancy, that three perfons at
cached to the houfehold eftabliihment of the FIRST
CONSUL, and who precede Madam BONAPARTE
Come days, paired through that city on their way
to Plombiers.

The appearance of the wheat in the neighbour.
hood of Paris is exceedingly promifing.
Wheat of the belt quality fell eight franks per
f:ticr in the market of Meurah on the 13th inf.—
Grain of an inferior quality has fallen in proportion.
VIENNA, JU N E 6.—Aufirian Poland, it is Paid,
will be ced4l to a Prince of the Empire ; and Pruf
(la will obtain an indemnity in Germany—but this
intelligence is not certain. We hear alto of a jour-
ney of the Royal Family of Etruria to Barcelona.
Some carriages belonging to the Queen of Naples
fet out a few days ago for Italy, which gives rea-
fon to think that this Prince(' expects to be able to
undertake her journey before the 18th of this
month. An Englifh Officer has arrived here from
Conftaniinople, with fix beautiful Arabian horfes,
defined for the Prince of Watts. A courier alto
arrived a few days ago from the Englifh Ambaf-
&dor in that city. The mon difagreeable news
were publifhed here refpeaing 13/ASWAN 00 Lou.
This famous rebel, it was Paid, had defeated the
Hofpodar of Wallachia, and penetrated into that
province, where he got immenfe booty. We now
learn that this intelligence arofe from an incurfion
made into Wallachia by 800 Brigands, who occa-
fioned much devallation. The Hofpodar
ed 3000 men, confining of troops and armed pea-
(ants, to attack them. Thefe troops loft in the af-
fair 46 men, and the brigands 60. We are now
affured that they are completely furrounded, and
that troops are advancing on all fides to annihi.
late them.

STUTTGARD, JUNE I learn from Crems-
Munfter, that in confequence of an Imperil refo-
lution, all the Convents fupprefred by the Emperor
JOSEPH IL are to be re-eftablithed, and put in pof-
felon of their property. The members of thefe
convents fill alive will return to their cells and re-
ceive novices : if any of the conventual property
has been fold to individuals the monks are au-
thorized to negotiate with the purchafers for the
recovery of it. The latter, however, have it in
their option' to keep it. Pilgrimages are alto
again permitted.
PRAGUE, Pas 7.—According to letters from
European Turkey a great power his fent an agent
to Widdin, to engage Passwew 9Grou to fettle
his differences with the Porte, and to offer its me.
diation with the Pacha in cafe he be difpofed to
an arrangement. This agent has already had a
conference with PesswaN Oct.ou, but the refult
has not tranfpired ; we know only that after this
interview two Couriers were difpached, one for
Constantinople, and the other for the mediating
court.

NAPLES, MAY A.—Three Ruffian veflels are
now in our harbour. They are making prepara-
tions to transport to Corfu the 3500 Ruffians Rill
remaining here. When thefe troops fail we null
have no more foreign troops left. The King will
return from Palermo to this capital.
GENOA, JUNE r.—We have reafon to hope that
our Republic will loon have a definitive Conflitu-
tion, and that the new Doge will be M. Ca TANao,
a Genoefe Ex-Nobleman. Baron de ToMM•at,
who, it is faid,las been appointed Grand Mailer
of Malta, was born in Sicily, and is dcfcended
flom an ancient family of that kingdom. The

expedition againft the famous rubber, who ravages
our neighbourhood, has not fuccecded. The
corps ditpatched in purfuit of hitn fell in with
him near the Bochetta, where he had difpofed his
troop in fuch a manner, that it was not thought
prudent to attack him in fo ltrong a potation.
Since that time he has fallen back towards the
mountains of Etruria. The people of Genoa feem,
therefore, to have been too premature in deliberat-
ing on the kind of death to which this Devil was
to have been fubjeaed, wben they had carried him
hither in triumph. It would thew more wifdorn
if they would firs devife the means of getting him
into their power.

The Royal Charlotte and Princefs Aug&la
yachts having undergone a thorough repair, and
brilliant decoration, at Deptford, are ordered im-
mediately round to Weymouth, to attend upon
their MAJESTIES. The former is commanded by
Capt. Sir H. BURRAID NEALE, and the latter by
Capt. GREY.
We underftand that it is finally fettled that his
MAJESTY is to come down and prorogue Parlia-
ment on Monday, and the Proclamation difl-olving
it, and Rating that he has direfted writs to be iffued
for calling a new one, will be publiihed the follow-
ing day. It is Paid to be the opinion of the LORD
CHANCELLOR, that the writs ought not to be if
till the day after the Proclamation. They will
not, therefore, be iffued till Wednefday morning.
It is proper, however, to mention, for the infor-
mation of thofe interefled, that Wednefday morn-
ing will commence asfoon as twelve o'clock ilrikes,
and the writs will be iffued. Parties, therefore,
will be upon their guard. Candidates know the
importance of thefe matters.
The next Parliament, it is fuppofed, will con-
tain a greater portion of the mercantile intereft
than any former one. A vail number of mer-
chants in the City are determined to (hare their
purfe with the borough mongers for the honour
and advantage of a feat in Parliament.

How extremely painful it is to behold thofe ex-
