celebrated MEDICATED BOUGIES, having confined
his practice for more than twenty years to the cure of huictures,
Obstructions, Debility, Gonorrhea, and every other disease of

offer a safe and permanent cure, not subject to the danger and it:-
efficacy attending t►e uses of Caustics or common nougles.
Persons in the country, stating their cases fully is a letter, in-

• Lord CASTLE REAG H hoped ti.at because there
might be an official flaw in the proceeiliN, the Com-
mince would not be induced to treat it with severity.
It was natural that the great event of peace, aftet
such a war, should not be allowed to pass without j
some kind of rejoicing, in which the people at large
might participate. As to the naval paft.of the pre
parations, he confessed he did not see much merit in
diem, until, on riding into the Perk, he there ob-
served, that they had drawn together an assemblage
of beauty and civilization of which no other metro-
polis could boast, a circumstance which compelled
him to acknowledge their value.—(4 laugh.)
After some further observations from Mr. W.
SMITH, Mr. WYNN, and others, the Resolution was
agreed to.
The following sums were then voted :
For making good the Arrears of the Civil List 41100000
For the Royal Canal M,OO
For the Board of Agriculture. 3,000
For Repairs of the two Houses of Parliament-- 10,074
Mr. Scrjeant ONSLOW suggested the propriety
of increasing the Salary of the Speaker, which had
not been raised since the Union.

The House then resumed, and the Report was or-
dered to be received to-morrow.

The House then went into a Committee on the Irish
Seditious Meeting Bill.
Sir H. PAR/TELL moved, as au amendment,
that the words " within the intervention of Grand or
Petty Juries" should be left out.
Mr. PEEL opposed the amendment; as did Mr.
BAritunsT, Mr. M'NAUGHTEN, Mr. FITZGERALD,
and others.

The Committee then divided—Fnr the Amend-
ment, 6—Against it, 66—Majority, 60.
The several other clauses were agreed to, and the
Reprt ordered to be received to-morrow (this day).

and to this he was induced to ascribe the Noble Lord's
opposition to the motion. He ridiculed the idea of the
House of Lords becoming wroth, because an address
of the Commons put a temporary stop to the prac•
tice of granting reversions. But if there was any
disposition to wrath on their part, surely the Noble
Lord, with his pacific talents, might contrive to
keep the peace between the two Houses at least till
next Session. _ _ _

Mr. BANKES contended that there was no hope
of taking any other step but by an address, to carry
into effect the repeated vote of the House against re-
versions, as the session would probably close in the
course of five or six days. There was nothing unusual
in addresses of this kind, and he apprehended there
was little danger of any breach of harmony between
the two Houses. It must be recollected that the mo-
ment the House let this subject out of their hands, that
moment they restored to the Crown the power of
granting reversions, against which so many unani-
mous votes of the Commons had been passed.
Lord CASTLEREAGH wished to suggest to
his Hon. Friend (Mr. Bankes) that the Bill rejected
by the Lords was preventive of the grant of reversions
for two years ; but another Bill of one year's duration
might still pass that House, and be sent up to the Lords
this session.

Sir C. BURRARD supported the Address.
The House then divided, when the motion was lost.

Franconian and Bavarian Journals contain the fol.

Count Bellegarde, Commander of the Austrian
troops, saying; that he did not consider hin4elf safe
in Elba from the pirates, and requesting some bat-
talions of Austrian grenadiers ; that this request was
granted, and when the grenadiers were on the point
of embarking at Leghorn, accounts arrived, that the
English Comn4issioners had had the Emperor seized
in Elba, and conveyed on board a ship, and had
galled with him to Malta; or, by other accounts,
even to St. Helena, in the Atlantic Ocean. Oiher
accounts again pretend, they have carried him away
from Elba ; and scaled orders which they had re-
ceived from England, and which were not to be
opened till they got to a certain latitude, would ac-
quaint them where to convey him to."

DOWNING-STREET, JULY 19, 1814.

A dispatch, of which the following is an extract,
was this day received by Earl BATHURST from Lieu-
tenant-General Sir GEORGE Puzvosr, dated Head-
quarters, Montreal, June 8, 1814.
It is with regret I have to report to your Lordship,
the unfortunate result of an enterprize made• by the
boats of the squadron on Lake Ontario, ucder the
command of Captains Popham and Spilsbury, of the
Royal Navy, with nearly 200 seamen and marines,
against a flotilla of the enemy's craft laden with naval
stores from Oswego, at Sandy Creek, from whence
the stores were to have been conveyed by land to
Sackett's Harbour. A large boat, with two long
21.-pounders, and a 19i inch cable for the enemy's
new ship, having been taken by our squadron then
blockading Sackett's Harbour, the information ob-'
tamed from the prisoners of the sailing from Oswego,
of 15 other boats with stores, led-to the attempt which
has terminated so disastrously, and for the particu-
lars of which, I beg leave to refer your Lordship to
the copy of Captain Popham's letter to Commodore
Sir James Yeo, herewith transmitted.

. . -
It is some consolation, under this severe loss, to
know, that before this time it will have been supplied
by the arrival at Kingston of the first division of the
Officers and seamen lately landed here from England :
the second wad third divisions have alio passed this
place, on their route to Lake Ontario.
By accounts from Major-General Riall, all was
quiet on the Niagara frontier on the 27th ultimo ;
and as I have not had any accounts from Michilli-
mackinac since Lieutenant-Colonel *Douai pro-
ceeded for that place on the 20th of April, I have
every reason to think he must have reached that post
in safety, and be fully prepared to defend it against
any attempt of the enemy.

GENERAL ADMINISTRATION OP TIIE INTERIOR.

The budget of the Ministry of the Interior, that is,
the mass of all the funds appropriated to the
rent services of that department, amounted,

In 1811 to 143 millions.
In 1818 to 150 ninon..
In 1813 to 140 million..
The public Treasury never contributed to this mass
of funds more than 58, 59, or 60 millions. The re-
mainder arose from special duties and imposts.—
Here the report states that additional centimes on
the general contribution were imposed for roads, pri-
sons, canals, barracks. administration expenses, tri-
bunals, buildings, public worship, depots of mendi-
city, Ste. Thus the departments paid at an average
45 centimes additional per franc, some 62, and others
even 72. But even these were not regularly given nut
by the Treasury for public works, &c. Hence in the
two years 1812 and 13, sixty millions were taken
from the administration expenses; and the provinces,
impoverished by add,tional imposts, enjoyed only a
small part of those establishments, construtti,ms, or
other public works of utility. the h•lut of whiet had
at least alleviated the weight of their sacrificer.
The report next proceeds to Rive a variety of de-
tails on the subject of the administration of Com-
munes and of Hospitals. The Communes had been
successively charged with expenses which should
have been bornt by the general funds of the State ol
by the departmental funds; of this kin J were iiits SA-
lanes ot commissaries of police, military rlgs an.l
beds, depots of mendacity, prisons, &c. Hence the cale
f communal octrois had vexatiously inctcased : tit.•
medium charge per head on every inhabitant was
about seven !rants 24 cents. and in some cities it
even amounted to 17 Italics 2F. cents.

On the subject of Hospitals, it is mentioned that a
decree of the 19th of January, 1811, allowed only
tour millions for the expense of foundling hospitals
throur.hout the kingdom, though that expense now
amounted annually to nine millions. The War De-
partment owed at present to the hospitals of Paris,
for sick and wounded soldiers alone, the sum of
1,393,365 francs. The me.licines were, besides, ex-
hausted ; the reserve stores of lint, furnishings, ikc.
were either wasted or lost ; the amount of dies: losses
could not he calculated, but might be estimated at
several millions.

PUBLIC wou KR

Great enterprises had been undertaken, some from
motives of teal utility, many from ostentation, or
from views in which the happiness of France had no
share. While magnificent roads were opened on our
frontiers, those of the interior were neglected; and
the cross-roads, abandoned by the communes, which
had not funds to support them, were very much de-
teriorated. The sum of 15 500,000 francs voted by
the departments for the roads, had been misappro-
priated. There was an arrear of more than twenty-
eight millions in the departments of brid:,,es and
causeways; and yet this service would be charged
with all the extraordinary expenses occasioned by the
disasters of the last campaign ; 30 principal bridges
had been blown up or burnt ; provisional repairs in
wood alone would cost 1,800,000 francs. The extent
of the mischief was not yet known.
The canals are in a better state, but the works far
from finished. That of Burgundy, which has already
cost 12 millions, will require rive more ; and that of
the Ourcq, undertaken on too expensive a scale, will
yet want at least 18 miiiions. The canal of Bur-
gundy, as well as that of St. Quentin, deserve praise.
The works at Paris were a particular 61)p-et of the
cares of Government, because in them it found the
means of parading a great magnificence, and of ion-
dering itself popular. Some of them, pattic,,i,,,.iy
those of the public markets, will be truly nsetti;.—
The works for the embellishment of the calk 11,
though of a less useful description, will not h.- aoati-
dotted. The total expense of them is estimated at
53,500,000 francs, and more than two millions hive'
already been laid out on them. All objects
fall under the superintendence of the Minister of the
Interior, the ariears of whose department arc not yet
ascertained, but are computed at from forty to tiny
millions.
