HOUSE OF COMMONS,

Mr. WHITBREAD brought in a Bill to prevent the use of
false weights and measures.—Read a first, and ordered to be
read a second time to-morrow.

Various accounts were presented to the House, among which
,vas an account of he receipt and expenditure of the West Italia
Dock Company.—OrdtrA to ikon the Table.
Mr. HI LEY ADDING I'ON presented an Account of the
number of per-ors commined to the various prisons in bylaw!,
and who had been tried during the last four years.—Uedaed to
1k on the tab'e.
Use I'oor Return am was ordered to be committed on the 4th
of April neat.
Lord MILTON moved, that there be laid Wore the House
all Militates and Proceedlwis had in a General Court or the I ust
[cilia Company, respecting grants and pensions, made and pre•
i•ented. to tht !louse on the Ilth.of July, tai4.
Mr. WA .ACE &Aid a few words on the motion, chitty re-
lating to the ; Rel. of Laid Melville, and the gram wtocts fol-
lowed ii. Ihe Directors had been _ud•y of a br••aeh of duty in
not giving an opinion en the subject in the Coati or Pi opttetors;
though he had objected to the motion when the Pep .1%4 bad
l'.:ern first snow. d tur in the course of the last Session, he would
now accede to it.

Mr. C. IS, though he wai no longer a Director of the
East- India Comran would defend the Directors from the charge
of breach of duty to them. It the Hun. Gentleman had
been in their situation, he might hare found -1146•ust (U have
acted otherwise than the Director% 4%4-
Lord MIL TON live to find there was no disposition to
deny the tiossinionsts in which the letter was mentioned.
Mr. Witt.t.scit explained, end the motion was agreed to.
TRRA'IY WITH AMERICA.

Lord CASTLEREAGH presented to the House
a copy of the 'Treaty of Peace concluded between
Great Britain and America at Ghent, and ratified at
Washington. The Noble Lord gave notice that he
would move the House to take the Treaty into con-
sideration on Wednesday next.
Mr. HORNER wished to know if the Noble Lord
intended .to lay the papers on which the negociations
were founded, .before the House previously to the
discussion, as it, was hardly possible to understand
fully the nature of the Treaty without the documents
which formed its basis.

Lord CASTLEIEAGH said, he certainly 1314
at that moment no inteqtion to give the Papers; sat
he begged leave to state, that, as he 44 before sal;
he did not, as a matter of course, consider binualf
bound to give all the papers upon which that or *Ay
other Treaty was founded. If any Member welitkl
state or skew that any particular papers were newts•
sary in order to understand the .question, and on
which to found an argument, that would be a vamd
ground for their production, provided the rearm;
assigned appeared to be satisfactory; but he begged
to protest against the principle of giving such paws
as a matter of course.

Mr. HORNER said this was a most peculiar case.
The country had been long in possession of a partial
and garbled statement. in his opinion very imp
perly ; it was now supposed this did null
contain the whole. It would be for the Noble Lord
to shew that fact. If, however, the Noble Lord was
willing to rest his case upon that statement, it was
well ; but it he had any further paints to make out,
it was esi.ential that other documents should be given.
Lord CASTLEREAGH did not think other pa.
pers necessary to the. discussion of the Treaty. It
was not at all necessary that we should imitate other
Government?, especiaily in cases where the Hon.
Gentleman himself thought their conduct had been
improper.
Mr. PONSONBY asked if the Noble Lord would
take any step on the Tleaty on Wednesday nest ?
Lord C.AsTLEREAGH—Yes.
Lord CASTLEREAGH presented a copy of the
Treaty or pence between this country and Denmark,
; and also a copy of a Convention be-
tween Englaiii end his Most Catholic Majesty Fer-
dinand VII. Inci:a Treaty of Amity with the same
Sovereigh, Signed at 144.4;:rid.
Lord CASTLEREAYIti then asked if the Hop.
Gentleman (Mr. Horner) would postpone his mo-
tion which stood for Wednesday nest ?
Mr. HORNER said he *should be extremeli
hap-
py to accoinmOdate the Noble Lord; but as the

House would so soon adjourn, and no ether conve-
nient day offered, ha could not postpone his motion.

MALTA BILL.
The Report of the Malta Trade Bill was then
brought up.
Mr. ROBINSON moved a clause extending the
operations of the Bill to the Colonies in North Ame-
rica; and,
On the amendment of Mr. Alderman ATKINS,
the word Bermuda was added.

Agreed to—third reading to-morrow.
AFFAIRS OF FRANCE.

Upon a request from Lord CASTLEREAGH to Sir
JOHN NEWPORT, to postpone his motion for Wednes-
day next, to which the Hon. Baronet consented, a
conversation ensued, nearly as follows :
Mr. WHITBREAD said he had postponed his
motion, which had stood for Wednesday, to Mon-
day, merely on account of the indisposition of the
Noble Lord (Castlereagh), and now he would take
'the advantage of the presence of the Noble Lord, to
ask him if he would render the moti.m useless by
granting those papers, which at the time the notice
.of motion was given, there appeared no disposition to
produce? He did not wish to have all the papers re-
lative to the affairs of the Congress ; but he hoped
the Noble. Lord would advise the Priuce Regent to
grant all those that could be disclosed, without
placing any Member under the necessity of moving
fur them. Under the present circumstances, he did
not wish to be forced to move for those papers.—
While he was up he would, even though he should
continue the irregularity which had began, advert el
what he had said the other night, with respect to the
situation in which we stood, in consequence of recent
events. He would repeat in the hearing cf the No-
ble Loral, what he had before said in his absence,
that he hoped the Government of En Lind would
not interfere with or take any part in the agitatitais
or changes which alight take place in France. He
did most strongly deprecate any sort of interference,
and he trusted none would take place.
Lord CASTLEREAGH said, the novel events
which had occurred had, in his opinion, neither ren-
dered the papers desired more or less necessary, or in
any degree altered the effect of the Honourable Gen.
deman's motion; at the same time he !rust observe,
that he was perfectly unacquainted with the object
of that motion. He, however, was anxious that the
disCussion should take place, as he should then have
an opportunity to refute those calumnies which had
been industriously circulated against his M sjesty's
Government; on this ground he was anxious to meet
the Honourable Gentleman ; and though it was not
possible to give papers. yet he should enter into such
explanations as would, he was of opinion, convinze
the weld that in the late negotiations, notwithstand-
ing all that bad been said, there had been no departure
rrom that good faith, and those high and honourable
principles which had hitherto characterised this nation
lin ail its proceedings.—(Near, hear).—He was not
*ware that any thing beyond explanations would be
gik en, or that it was necessary, as he should Rot call
'on the House tor any opinion on that %%hid', as it
was not completed, could not be properly decided on.
With respect to the opinions and advice of the Ho.
nourabfe Gentleman, he would only say, that as of
necessity it was formed and given iii the absence 0;
all informations le did, without any personal disre-
spect, wish to decline accepting either the one or the
other. as the House must see, under such circuit*.
stances, they could not be available, and, did not de-
serve much consideration—( Hear, hear).—He hoped,
however, the Honourable Gentleman would not he
found sineitles to opposition to what he (the Noble
1...r1) believed to be the universal sentiment of die
errantly— a wish to uphold that power which had
given peace to Europe, rather than that which was nose
likely to disturb it. With regard to any interference
with France, he begged to say, that it never had becn
the policy of England to attempt to dictate to that.
country on its internal arrangements; but what
course of policy, under the present circernstances,
England, in conjunction with her Allies, might feel
bound to pursue, be did not feel himself called on.
to explain.
Mr. WHITBREAD said he understood that the
papers would not be given, and therefore with a view
~ao give the Noble Lord an opportunity to explain,
fully, he should move an Address to the Prince Re.
gent for them. Of the calumnies, he could say he
new nothing of them further, than facts were stated
in documents. ff by any explanations the Noble
Lord could rofuto those calumnies, he should be tad
and he had been deceived. As to advice, be had
ren none; be had only entered his protest, as a
Member of Parliament, against any interference in
the internal government of affairs is France—against
any attempt to setting up or pulling down any parti-
cular person or dynasty.
Lord CASTLEREAGH said there was nothing
objectionable in the course pursued by the Honour.
able Gentleman ; but at the same time he must say,
that it appeared tolita there was nothing extraordi-
tiary in not laying before the House that which was
not complete.
Mr. WHITBREAD said, one of the most ex-
traordinary circumstances of these extraordinary
was tbw:appearance of that N Lord in this
Perm
iZeirettr P_ glie 'heating of the Congress were con-
cluded. If he was to come away before all was
completed, why did he go ? and it all was not set?
tied, why did he not remain till it was ? It nothing
had been published till every thing had been arranged,
he should have been the last to have inquired, or to
have asked for papers; but certain f.t,ts hod heel:
published in documents, and it was tor thz Noble
Lord to refute them if he could.
Mr. PONSONBY understood it was Cie i" ration
of the Noble Lord to give certain taus
4114
lions relative to the negotiations at Vicuna : tor his
part he would not give any opinion it the %Oleic affair
was not laid before the House. uas d,:terrniiad
JIM to give his opinion on any subject until lie under-
stood it; the Noble Lord alone knew the whole of
the present question, and he would nut give his opi-
nion upon the faith of partial stater:lents, nor until
at least he thought he understood the subject.
Lord CASTLEREAGH had io idea of calling
on the House for an opinion; be should only give
such explanations as were necessary', and those he
should give merely as explanations. With regard to
the Right HOnour4ble 'Gentleman's determination
not to give an opinion on a subject which he did not
understand, he wished that this generJl reserve was

more extended, and had been acted upon eari:er,
(Hear, hear, and a laugh.)
On some coeversation between Mr. PoesoNar any
the CHANCIILLOR of the EXCHEW eft, the further NT.
sideration of the taxes in Ways and Means was pee.
polled .till Monday fortnight, as far as relates to oic
assessed taxes.
Mr. WHITBREAD called the attention of or
House to a petition from a person who was in
gate, the period of his sentence having expired ;hit
be was still confined because he could not prrekte
the required security. The petitioner was I).e.'et
Lovell, whose case be had brought before die H-ihe
in November last, and the House and Ministers n
that time appeared to be disposed t 9 extend some
mercy to him ; he now hoped the length of hi,
finement.(ten months) beyond nix sentence,
be considered as equivalent for securities. b. ;.
lenity of the Crown his tine had been remitted,
from his state of destitution he was male
sureties ; he therefore threw himself on that
and implored its mercy.

in November last, had been author::.e by the '

PRODELA, MARCH It

Battalions of royal volunteers are to be formed to
march with the army under the Duke of Berri and
Generals Viomenel and Latour Maubourg.
Oudinot sends from Metz the oath of fidelity of
the troops in the 3d and 4th military divisions.
JOUrulart does the same from the 15th division.
PARIS, MARCH is.
Three officers of the Chasseurs called Royals have
it:st arrived at the Duke of Berri's apartments, der
ruted by Colonel Lions, and the Officers of the re.
giment, to inform his Royal Highness, that it was
only at La Fere, that they were made acquainted
with the steps in which it was designed to engage
them ; that they assembled at Compiegne, and made
known their sentiments (kurd.l icon de tower), to Gene.
r.tl Lefebvre Desnouettes ; and that General Lions
immediately ordered the signal to be sounded, to
horse, and took the route of Cambray, the last place
%here the regiment had been in garrison. The Of-
ficers who brought this information are a Major, a
Chief of Squadron, and a Captain.

PSUVATE LETTERS.
" PAan, Mutes 10.
The official Journals present enough to alarm
any person respecting present prospects, but we do
not believe that it gives us a tithe of the truth.—
Bonaparte's advance is truly wonderful. The King
of Sardinia has, it is said, set a price upon his head
of 400,000 francs, about 16.000 guineas of our money
—an example which the King of France has, it is
reported, declined to follow. An otter to assassinate
Napoleon having been formally made to the Due de
Berri, was instantaneously rejected with horror ; and
you must therefore look upon whatever little intelli-
gence reaches me through private channels, as sup-
plementary to the meagre and half-fabricated state-
ments of the official press. The public anxiety
increases with the want of information, and doubts
begin to agitate those, who only yesterday were riot.
or; in their derision of Bonaparte's projtas Up-'
wards of 50 Officers have left Paris since the night
before lad, and taken the rood towards ituly I the
names of most of them are known to the Police, and
at the Waraiffice—but it is too late to stop them, .. a 4
the hazy weather Impedes the narking of
the
telegraphs.
It has been proposed to the King to arm La
Vendee and thus secure by one blow 60,000 brave
and devoted soldiers. Louis the 18th, who compr:-
ile:ds his own situation and that of France differently
from any of his advisers, repelled the scheme, as of-
fc,tbive to the body of the nation.—' This is, in its
essence,' slid the King, ' a contest for public liberty
—you must not narrow it into the quarrel of the
House of Bourbon: The faithful Vendeans might
protect my person, but the French people shall de-
fend their own cause.' Since the loyal demonstra-
tions of the garrison at yesterday's review, attempts
have been made to debauch the troops in their bar-
racks; a man has been detected in the act of dis-
persing the proclamations of Bonaparte to the French
soldiery, and led away on the instant to be shot.
" There are now sioedoubts that this plan of in-
v'aradloti France was a long time prepared, and cla-
y combieed with maehinauons in the interior
ad with the organisation Of Italy for revolt. The

ment, was among the first to abandon the King's ser-
Aer. There is no doubt as to the extent and maturity

Orleans, on the Ist instant. it was universally reported
!hat t!:.2 King was dead, and that Bonaparte would

words, an inconceivable stupidity—may we not say
at once, the basest treachery *bas hung upon the
royal cause from the first moment of this invasion.
When the neon was made known in the great city of
Marseilles, the whole population ran to arms; in a
few hours ten thousand stout men were embodied
and amongst them a number of old soldiers, who
eagerly cried out for permission to attack Bonaparte,

inevitable; but the accursed Authorities, the hoe, 1

ANOTIIIIR LETTER, DATED MARCH IL '
44 Not only the military are loudly for the Usurper§
but the populace, who do not scruple to talk loudly
in his favour every where. On the large mirron, in
the very apartment of the King, were found written,
the mrarning of the 11th. 44. Priv Mork's." Yea:
day several-arrested, individuals were having
caught placarding the streets with libels against Go-
vernment. It appears that Monsieur was never re-
ceived at Lyme as stated by the ifesitter. He was
met outside the town by the populace, supported by
the military, hooting him, and throwing stones as
him, in a way to endanger his lice,- from which he
found himself happy enough to be able to escape.
44 Hence the sudden return of the Duke of Or.
leans to Paris, not for fresh orders. but to give the
dismal information to the King of the bad spirit
reigning every where. This news arrived at Paris
on the 11th, and were amply confirmed the following
day. Tim Peers, in a secret council, have conferred
dictatorial powers on the King, and leave to call into
France foreign a:alliance.
44 It appears as if no doubt can remain on the
events of Italy. The Austrians have been literally
massacred every where. At Milan, the two Italia*
regiments remaining there. with the . of
the Patriots, have slaughtered every foreign
and officer iodiscriminately.
" They talk also of a slaughter of the Ensfle, of
Genoa by the people. who cried out anaaireedy,

The bustle created yesterday in the City by the
news from France was never equalled by the effect
produced by intelligence on any former occasion.
The rumours were, as might be expected, very con-
tradictory ; but all agreeing that the progreis of the
invader was inconceivably rapid. His plans had
been so completely arranged with his friends in
France, that every thing was ready for his receptiou.
Even the magazines, depots of troops, &c. were dis-
posed in the way best calculated to insure his ultimate
success. His adherents and emissaries were with
every part of the French face; and the old soldiers
were sighing for his return.
The opinion which we hasarded, on ibt rut sews
of BONAPA WM having landed in Franc., that dm*
was an understanding between him and the present
King of Naples (Waits.), seems to be confirmed by
accounts from Italy. Out of the letters states ea
follows :

4, That on the 28th of February appeared the Pro.
clamation of the King of NarLas, and the Emperor
of TRAWCZ and King of ITALY (BONAi ASTB). in
which they guarantee the independence of Italy. At
Peschiera it gave the signal for the massacre of the
Austrian troops, afterwards at Verona, and lastly at
Milan. It is asserted titat more than 20,000 Austrians
were sacrificed. Gene ral BILLBOARDS and his Staff
endeavoured to escape through Switzerland, but the
Swiss were is arms, and would allow no one to pass.

The King of PIRDMONT ran away from Turin, whets
many excesses were committed, and the adherents ee
the King were much ill-treated."
The same fact is stated in one of the private letters
received yesterday from Paris, as wiU be seen among
our extracts. But if we may credit the statements
brought by the Brussels Papers (received last night)
it is not true that there has been any massacre in*
Italy, nor has Mona? any thing to do with Bona.

PARTZ joined his standard. He sent a detachment to
attack Grenoble, where General MARCHAND was ap-
pointed to guard an immense depot of arms and mi-
litary stores. He appears to have been faithful to
his trust, and the consequence was, he fell a sacrifice
to his own troops. Grenoble opened its gates, and
one hundred and fifty pieces of cannon, with four-
teen thousand men, and from 80,000 to 100,000
stand of arms, fell into BONAPARTE'S power.—
There is little doubt but that the great magazine was
placed there purposely to assist his inroad, for it now
appears that SOULT, the Min....ter at War, bad con-
certed the measure with his partizans, and that every
thing was prepared fir his reception. The notice in the
Miami- of the 11th, which so much surprized every
one, is now intelligible. It was evidently published by
the

order of SOULT, to announce to the friends of the
Invader throughout all France, that the blow was
struck, and that success had crowned their operations.
Fhe next der• SOULT was removed from his place'
and General CLARK, Duke of Feltre, who was for.
merly War Minister to 80/WARTS, was nominated
in his place.

The Proclamations of 0311APARTE are said to be
uncommonly moderate, and that he offers a complete
amnesty to all except two, who are Manuowr and
A ooxitsau.
It was. not the Duchess of AscouLrms, but the
Duchess of ORLEANS, who arrived yesterday with
the Duchess of Wituniotow. The Marquis of
&area, Mr. and Mrs. Vitriol=as and Mr. BUTLER,
were- among Cie passengers who arrived.
A Correspondent at Calais writes as follows :
'The English in France have felt dreadful in.
convenience, from the alarm created in Paris. The
French Governmeat having issued an ordonnance
that no passiats should be yawed to any person,
except for Government hiessenpn, the greatest
alarm was etperienced by. suck who wished to quit
the capital. ' Money was useless to offer by indivi.
deals, as the postmassen dare not accept it ; the
Marquis of EZETER paid 800 Louis, it is said, to be
conveyed to Calais.

•4 The English in general meet with much insults,
having had their horses and carriages stopped, aad
their property seised by iudividnals, and are now
suffering every privation. 'The motto upon Botts
PARTeS Bag is' Pescs and Liberty.' To prevent emi-
grudge, it is currently reported here that a general
embargo will hamediatelytake place."
There were no fresh arrivals yesteitay it Dover,
but we expect every moment to reeeive.new accounts.
The Post-Office has stuck op a notice on the Royal
Exchange, informing the Public, that should a mail
arrive from France in the course of the day, letters
will be delivered to as late an hour as eight o'clock
at night. •

A letter from Rye of yesterday's date, mentions
the arrival of a smuggling vessel the preceding night
froni BoUlogne, which she had quitted the same fore-
noon s that Boulogne was full of English people

from Paris and other parts, most anxiously waiting
for a passage to this country; that the military sta-
tioned at that place were decidedly in favour of Bo-
NAPAATII and that the Merchants were very appro.
bensive of an embargo being laid on.

The panic which has pervaded the Stock Exchange
since the first accounts reached us of BONAPARTE'S
leading in France still continues, and the Funds are
looking down. Consols opened this morning at 60

Earl GUT, in the House of Lords, and Mr. Wier-
Aim% in the House of Commons, last night, expres-
sed their confident hope that this country would not
il iat ere in the internal affairs of France. Lord CAs•
T wOH said that it never had been the policy nor
practice of this country to dictate to France ;
bet what might be the line of conduct determined
on by his Royal Highness, in concert with his allies,
on the present extraordinary posture of things in that
country, the House would not expect him to state.—
He hoped Mr, WittrahltaD was nit an exception to
the universal feeling in favour of the power who had
given peace to Europe against that power which had
so often disturbed it.
