HOUSE OF COMMONS.

Mr. WALLACE moved for leave to b:ing in a Bill to amend
the 53d of the Kmg, relative to Gratuities granted by the East
India Company.—Ltave was given.
The Report of the Salaries of the Judges of the Commissary
Court of Edinburgh was taken Into further consideration, and,
after some conversation between Sir W. Scott, Mr. Serjeant Best,
Mr. limner, Mr. J. r. Grant, and the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer, the Report was agreed to, and a Bill was ordered to be
brought in aceorolusly.
• The Militia Bill went though a Committee. Report ordered
to be taken into further consideration on Thursday.
The 1•le of Man Lighthouse Bill went through a Committee.
Report to-morrow.
The Report of the Post Office Committee. the Irish Court-
house, and the Made Wines Bills, were sgreed to, and the Bills
ordered to be read a third time to-morrow.

Mr. SHAW presented a Petition from certain mer-
chants of London, complaining of several of the pro-
visions contained in the Ship Letter Bill, particularly
of a clause which gave power to Custom house Ofli-
;ern° search for packets and letters which might Iv
on board any vessel contrary to the provisions of the
Bill. This clause the Petitioners complained would
give a vexatious power to Officers to search any part
of the vessel, and in any way which they might think
fit, though there should be no grounds for it. The
Petition was brought up and read.
Mr. Foam and Mr. FL:MAY objected to the Bill
against which this Petition was Laiesented, and which
they said would, from several at. its provisions, prove
highly vexatious to the Shipp"9g interest.
The CHANCELLOR the EXCHEQUER
contended, that the pin w, Auld of itself prcir highly
concenient to the public, r The priacipal. incourni.

encies which had been alluded to did not originate
with this Bill, but were of long standing. He triaged,
however, Such arrangetnents might be made as would
satisfy all patties, end remove all serious objections
to the Bill.
Mr. 'FORBES said, he would on this day se'n.
night move for Copies of the Correspondence which
had parsed on the subject between the Post-Master.
General and the Court of Directors, and between the
East India agents and the Lords of the Treasury.
The Petition was then ordered to be on the table.
Sir E. BRIDGES ;novel for leave to bring in a
Bill to amend the law respecting the removal of
chargeable paupers, and to prevent their removal till
the final adjudication of their respective parishes.
• After a few observations from Mr. A. WRIGHT,
Lord MILTON, Sir C. MONCIC, Mr. LOCKLIARTg iCC.
leave was given.
A Bill for the better prosecuting cases of assaults
in Ireland, was read a first time ; second reading to-
morrow.
Mr. H. ADDINGTON said, he was now enabled
to state to the House, in an answer to a question put
to a Noble Friend of his last night, that Mr.'Serjeant
Runnington was appointed Judge of the Insolvent'
Debtor.' Court.
Mr. H. ADDINGTON then, after a few observe.
;lops, moved for leave to bring in a Bill for allowing
the Prince Regent to accept the services of the Local
Militia beyond their respective counties. The Right
Lion. Gentleman recapitulated the advantages which
had resulted from this measure formerly ; and ob.
served that, as it was note new measure, it would be
unnecessary for him to detain the House long in enter-
ing into a detail of it. He should now propose, un-
der this Bill, that the time for which the Local Mi-
litia should be called out should be 28 days, including
that on which they were called out, and that on
which they were disembodied. In the former Bill,
the time for which the Local Militia could be called
out was J. 2 days ; the altering the term WAS the pt in-
cited alteration which would be made in the mea-
sure, which he should now propose to renew for one
year only.
Lord MILTON would not let even this, the first
stage, of the Right Hon. Gentleman's measure, pass
without giving it his decided negative, and entering
his strongest protest agaima it. Tnese repeated al-
terations in the Local Militia Acts could not do
otherwise than alarm die men composing it, with
fears that ultimately some very serious alteration in
the nature of their services tn;gitt be attempted.
R Honourable Gentleman had proposed to
renew this Act for a year only. This wits a
fallacy. This was no renewal of the measure for
a year, hut for as long a time as the war might last ;
a term, in his apprehension, notwithstanding what
was held out by the Right Honourable Gentleman
' and his colleagu;s, would be by no means a short
one. The Noble Lord strongly blamed the
ex-
ertions which had been ma'c, and which had been
so highly praised, by ti.e Right Hon. Gentleman,
by sonic Officers of Local Militia to induce the Lacal
Militia to volunteer; which he said were exertions
only tending to shame the men into doing what they
otherwise would have no inclination to do. He would
not conceal his apprehensions twin the House ; and
he begged the House would notice what he had now
to &dare, which was, that in his opinion, this step,
it granted to the Right Hon. Gentleman, would he
succeeded by another, and that by another, till the
old Militia would be moved to extend their services
out ohlie kingdom, and ties Local Militia would be
taken to snpply their places.
Mr. IL ADDINGTON disclaimed any such in-
tention. •

Mr. H. SUMNER did not object to the alteration
proposed by the Right Hon. Gentleman as a general
measure; but he feared it might have the effect, in
particular instances, of exciting jealousies between
different corpsaind counties.
Mr. W ROT LESLEY was not apprehensive of
any such jealousies. He approved the proposed
measure, which would enable Government to bold
more of the regular force of the kingdom at their
disposill. With respect to volunteering, he. thought
it wadi be better in no case to suffer a whole regi-
ment to volunteer, but to take a certain number from
each regiment.
Lord STANLEY was decidedly against allowing
the Local Militia to go out of their counties, which,
in his opinion, was a direct breach of the agreement
into u hick Government originally entered with them.
When this measure for allowing the Local Militia to
volunteer was. first adopted, a great portion of our re.
Oar wee was going to America. Now the case was
very different. A great portion of that forces as now
returning fr..ni America, and some, he understood,
had actually arrived in Ireland. For these reasons,
(though he should not now positively oppose the
measuie) he trusted.it would nut, on reflection, be
persisted in.

Mr. W. ELLIOTT could not entirely approve the
measure, which he thought would be attended with
set ions inconvenience to persons in the manufacturing
districts ; yet he should be loth to oppose directly any
measure apparently intended fcr the detente of the
country.
Mr. BATHURST defended the measure, which,
he said, was now as necessary as it had been in 1813.
It was true, indeed, as had ►een stated by a Noble
Lord (Stanley), that some of our forces were return-
ing from America ; but the Noble Lord must be sen-
sible that at this period the service of those troops
would be required in another quarter.
Mr. N. CALVERT was decidedly against the
measure.

Mr. BABINGTON was in favour of the measure,
the success of which, he said, Would vet), much de-
pend upon the provision-which should be made for
the wives and families of the men in their absence.
Mr. W. ELLIOTT and Lord STANLEY explained.
Leave was then given to Wing in a Bill.
The Bill was brought in, read a first time, and,
after a few observations from Lard MILTON, Mr. W.
Eutorr, Mr. H. ADOINGTON, and Mr. W. WintNit,
was ordered to he read a second time on Friday.
The Report of the Committee of Supply was
brought up, and the Resolutions were read, and
agreed to.
On the Resolutign for the Grant to the British
Museum,

general THORNTON did not intend to object to
the grant, but only to complain of ;be little facility
vhich was given to the publiq M view this institution.
Mr. DANKES. thought the Establishment could

not be put oa a better footing.-. The Resolution was
then agreed to, as were the other Resolutions, with-
out observation.
On the Report of the Foreign Slave Trade J.
being brought up, Mr. BARHAM proposed some ve-
bal amendments, which were agreed to, the Bill o:
dered to be reprinted, and to be read a third time e-
Thursday se'nnight.
The House wcnt into a Committee on the rorclfl
Soldiers' Bill.
Mr. HORNER and Mr. ABBOTT Sl:rrtV'Sj,
the Bill was Of great importance, that the Cliairm.4,
should report progress.
The suggestion being acceded to, prcgres
parted—the Committee to sit again to-morrow.
The Farming Stock bill went though a Corn.
mittee.---Repott to-morrow.
Mr. BROGDEN (in the absence of Mr. V. i ).
GERALD) gave notice, that his Kirk lion. 1 ti, IA;
would on Fri4lay, in the Committee d W.tys ant

INSOLVENT DEBTORti'

Mr. Serjeant BEST moved the second relt!;nr et
.the amended Bill for the relief of Insolvent I
General THORNTON hoped the Ilf.r.curti,:c
land Learned Gentleman would n,-.1 press the la in
so thin a House. (There were about v.re:vc I`.lttr..
hers present.) The Bill, in his opinion, %V a, a Ito::
alarming one, and ought to be discus.ed in a wry
full House.
Mr. Serjeant BEST assured the llonnuralle
neral that he did not v.ish to press it, arid had re,
objection therefore to postpone the second readi,.:-
till there was a fuller attendance, He wis!md
have the opinion of every Gentleman upot the v.:
lect, and would be happy to atteii.l to any sur7,,—..
tinns which might be thrown out, so as to rendtr
Bill available for the object which ad man hsT:: i:t
virtu.

Sit S. ROMILLY had no desire to dispose of t;.
second reading this day, but not being able to b..
present when it might come into discussion, he would
shortly state his objections. It was a Bill which pr:,.
fessed to remove the objections to the Bill passed for
the relief of Debtors two years since, and yet most
of the provisions, in his opinion, were inadequate
the object. He agreed with Isis H n. and Lest:nes!
Friend, that it was necessary to compel persuss• hat.
ing property to disclose their effects. S., far the Lill
had his concurrence ; but he disapproved of [Le
mode by which that was to he attained. He LI:J s.:;
approve of the compelling a man to make a de,ltr...
tion against himself, which might subject him to
felony and transportation. The Bill proceeded c,
the minciple of the Bankrupt Laws ; but those laes
did not first imprison a man, and thee compel him
to a disclosure. He approved of that part of it is
the first instance, but expected that the Bill we.::d
have provided for taking in execution his property..
lie also had hoped that some measuros would have
been provided ter removing those scandals to the
proression, sham pleas and, writs of error, which too
often were made use of by debtors, to avoid payment
of their debts, and harass their creditors. He had,
however, a great objection to the Bill in the whole,
as it now stood ; and hoped it would not be passed,
unless some considerable amendments were made,
and the Bill sanctioned by a very large aujnrity of
the House.

Mr. Serjeant BEST defended the Bill, and observ-
ed, thsit si great majority of the House, he believed,
were of opinten that he did not go far enough. He
had already stated, and he would again state, that
he abhorred and detested perpetual imprisonment ;
and he would much rather that the Insolvent Bill
should continue as it was, than revert to the old law.
But if Gentlemen would look at the Papers on the
table, they would see the necessity for some amend-
ment to the Bill I they would be satisfied tnat great
numbers of persons had contracted debts who were
incapable of paying at the time they contracted them.
'The keepers of various prisons had found it necessary
to apply to the Courts for stronger plwers than they
possessed, to restrain the licentiousness i;f those who
were in prison, waiting to take tl,e bent.fit of the Act.
The Bill was highly destructive of the morals of the
people. He wished to give relief to the unfortunate
debtor, and would be happy to attend to any modi-
fications-which might be suggested.
Mr.HORNER was rising to address the Hnuse—
General THOItNTON rose, and observed, the
he had given way to the speech of the Hon. and
Learned Gentleman, but if the debate was to be pro-
tracted, he must move to count the House.
The House was accordingly counted, and only
twelve Members being present, an Adjournmtnt ut
course took place.

amidst the firing of artillery and the acclamations of

from Portici, to meet Madame, as soon as he per-
ceived the vessel] The state of the Queen's health
did not permit her to leave htr apartment to greet a
mother whom she so tenderly loves. Madame pro-
ceeded to Portici to her august daughter.
The arrival of her Imperial Highness was preceded

ROME, APRIL 19.
Our city continues to enjoy the greatest tranquil.
lity, thanks to the firmness of the Members of the
Supreme Junta, and it seems as if there was no rea-
son to fear a change in the good disposition of the
inhabitants which maintains it.

No Neapolitan soldiers have entered Rnme: some
”ipeiior officers have obtained permission of the
luma to reride there. General Prince Pignatelli is
there at this moment.

A division from five to6ooo men passed yesterday
under our walls ; it took up cantonments in the
ceighbouring villages.
It is but justice to declare that the Neapolitan
troops have committed no excesses in our country,
d that, by exemplary punishments, those have been
irpressed, of which there was reason to coMplain.
His Holiness continues to keep up a very active cor.
respondence with the Junta ; nothing is said concer-
ring his return to his capital ; but we have been as-
tared that he has no intention of quitting Italy.
There has appeared here the following piece, which

Last night the Path Papers of Saturday came to
hand, and we are happy to add, that they are as per-
fectly uninteresting us any that have for some time
been received. They have rung the changes so often
on 46 patriotism"-4, good spirit" —4l noble senti-
ments" gl levies" —4l Volunteers" National
Guatds," &c. that they exhibit nothing but laboured
sterility. The Parisians, however, are evidently far
from being easy ; nor is it possible that the intelli-
gence from the North can add to their comfort. All
the strong places on that frontier have been declared
in a state of siege : in other words, the inhabitants
are pu: under the command of the military, and
every intercourse with other places, it such as the
Commandant may approve, is consequently sus-
pended. This explains the statement before received,
that the intercourse with Calais and other places was
interrupted ; but though restrained, it may still, un-
der military inspection, be suffered to a certain extent.

These Papers also announce that a Regency has
been appointed by NAPOLEON, composed of the Mi-
nisters and Presidents of the Sections of the Council
of State. This, of course, is preparatory to BONA.
'PARTE% setting off for the army, which circumstan-
ces m.iy render indispensible ; but he will quit even
his own delegated rulers with much reluctance, well
knowing from his own deeds that a delegated autho-
rity may, by the occupiers, be turned against their
principal. Tnis he bow: has happened more than
once, and may happen again : and he knows that as
he has only from necessity admitted the leaders of

certain parties to participate in power, so they only
from necessity, or prudential motives, have allowed
him to resume his former title and nominal authority.
He has therefore to dread that they may make use
of his name and authority precisely as he has done
their influence—merely for convenience ; and that
his reign may by them be cut very short. He must
at this moment be one of the most miserable of hu-
man beings: having absolutely no stay but the army
—a stay which the history of all ages has proved to
be the most fickle and urcettain of any.
The minor Journal, hare 'published a document,
purporting to be a declar.ation of NAPOLEON in favour
of the POPE, but which is disavowed en the pan of
the P.ipal Government. It presents much absur-
dity ; but may nevertheless have been transmitted
by 13oNamaTE, or some of his agents, to answer a
temporary purpose ; for, according to M. CHATEAU-
DNIAND, 48 Lying is regularly organized by this pre.
tended government: It is an established part of their
administration of affairs. They have lies calculated
to serve a quarter of an hour, others which will go
you an hour, others a day, others a whole week !"
This, from its date, might be intended to operate for
a fortnight or three weeks.
DAvoust's address to the Municipal Officers should
be read as a specimen of French declamation without
a single argument. "If we are obliged to take up
arms," says he. Obliged ? Is there any necessity,
Sir, to fight for your being War Minister ? Is it
worth the least drop of blood to make CARROT a
.Count, or Fottus; a Duke, or to place a Corsican on
the throne of France, who has twice deserted her
armies, and once abdicated her government ?
The fact, which we stated yesterday, is confirmed
by private letters from Paris, that.BosaeAara's most
valuable effects still remain packed up ; which has
r procured for him the uickmatne of Prince de Lam-
Liar, (r ernballl, the packed-up.)

We have nu fresh accounts from the Netherlands
this day. • From all the intelligence lately received
from that quarter we think that before many days
we shall be informed of actual hostilities having com-
menced on that frontier.

Our accounts of the military operations in Italy
come down to the 24th ult. and are very iatisfActory.

MILITARY REPORT-4410. IV.
" Head•Guartcn at Mantua, Aptil 24, 1815.

is The pursuit of the enemy after the battles at
Ravele and Casaglio, has been continued without in-
terruption. His breaking up from the Panaro no
longer allows him any point of halt, and with greater
rapidity than in his ill-concerted advance against the
Legations, the Tuscan and Modenese territories,
must he, anxiously avoiding a battle, gelinqui:l these
specious advantages with considerable loss.
" Field Marsha' Lieutenant Bianchi entered Bo-
logna with the army corps under his command; while
the division of Field Marshal Lieutenant Count Neup-
pm, closely following the retreating movements of
the Neapolitans, occupied 'nit)la, .Faenaa, and on the
19th instant, Forli.

" On the right bank of the river Ronco, the enemy
left behind the division Lecchi, in a position very
voutablet from the advantages of the gmand ; and

pillage of the rapid RoocO, in sight of the whole
enetisy's
es Count Neupireig reiolired to attack the enemy
Without loss of time ; with this view he detached the
brigade of Count Haugwirt, by the mountains of
Meldola towards Roversano, to threat.rn their left
flank, while he, with a just confidence in the valour
of his troops, effected, in cull day of the 21st, the
news was received that a corps still more considerable
continued entrenched at Cesena.

66 The advanced guard, under the brave and skilful
conduct of General Bardn Geppert. and Culonel
Count Zichy, of the Lichtenstein Hussars, crossed
the river, the bank of which the enemy were forced
to evacuate. Two divisions of the regiments St. Ju-
lian and Weid-Runkel, bravely led on by Lieutenant
Colonel Longueville and Major Sajoncsek, followed
to support the former, and with the 11th Chasseut
battalion, formed a bulwark, under the protection of
which the pioneer companies of Major Felsh estab-
lished a bridge, and prepared a free passage for the
troops of all arms.
66 About eight in the evening the whole was com-
pleted, the enemy attacked in his position at the
charge step, and in less than 2'o minutes was driven
back to Forlipepoli. In vain dikl King Joachim,
who, according to the report of all the prisoners,
was present in person, advance with two lartcier re-
giments of the division Carascosa, and with them
endeavour to break through our masses of infantry. '

and Captain Gemery, of the Lichtenstein hussars,
made some brilliant charges v. ith their squadrons
upon the close columns of the above regiments, of
whom the greater part were cut down, and the rest
dispersed: alarm and dismay were spread among the
enemy's ranks, whose flight, at the same time de-
cided by the advance of Count Hangwitz threaten.
ing their communications, (and who on his side had
driven the enemy with considerable loss to Bertinorn)
would have ended in complete rout, had not the
coming on of a rainy night prevented the farther
pursuit, and induced Count Neupperg to confine his
victory for this day to the important advantages al-
ready gained.
66 The report frcm the field of battle does not com-
municate the official details of our loss, which was
very trifling, nor that of the enemy, which was great.
A considerable number of prisoners, the greater part
left wounded on the field of battle, give a deplorable
description of the Neapolitan army, in which despon- '
dcncy and discontent threaten to loosen the ties of
obedience, inasmuch as the confidence of the troops
in the cause for which, as well as in the leader under
whom they fight, is wholly destroyed.
44 The joy of the inhabitants of every district
through wbich our victorious army marches, and
their satisfaction at these f n itmate events of war, are
conspicuously displayed. Many mountaineers have
taken up arms, and joined our advanced guard. The
people of ail ranks cordially hold out their bawls to
their deliverers, and lighten the movements of the
troops by voluntary service•.
44 The advance of General Neupperg is accom-
panied along the sea-coast by a corps under
the command of ' Major Pnquet, of the Fenner chas-
seurs, who, supported by Major Brehm, of the Hesse-
Homburg Infantry, attacked on the 19th, an enemy's
division at Ravenna, and drove it over the Savio.
The above Ma or Brehm, Commandant at Comma-
chio, attacked and took an enemy's vessel in the har-
bour of Purtonuova, carrying one piece of cannon,
with 13 seamen."

Whilst the preceding reprrt was in the press, at.
counts were received from Count Neupperg, that the
enemy had evacuated in the nig4t of the 22J, his
strongly elatenchel position at Cesena, and was re-
tiring in wed haste,

Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at
Rye, dated May 9 : .

" A French fishing-boat arrived here this morning from Bou-
logne, which port sbe quitted on Monday. The Master reports
that BONACARTZ slept at Boulogne on Sunday night, aad took
his departure from thence on Monday morning."

Letters received this morning from Park of the 6th
instant, state that BONAPARTS had dismounted all
the Gens d'Armes, and sent their horses to the army.
By these and other means he has formed cavalry to
the number of 35,000. He has given the Gens
d'Armes SOO franks each to procure a horse for the
service of their corps.

An account has been received at the East India.

" 1 hat although the war has happily terminated, they deem
it important to rescue the American Government trom unworthy
imputations, with which it has been assailed during its progress.
They have, therefore, ascertained whet! et the devruction of
York, In Upper Canada, and the other cases assumed by our late
enemy, as autborisieg the departure from the settled rale% of civi-
lised warfare, were of a character to justify or eatenn-te their
conduct.—The result of the inquirics of the Committee mat.ifest-
log to the world that the plea which 'has been advanced for the
destruction of the American Capital, and the plunder of private
property, is without foundation, will he found in the communi-
cation of the Secretary of War and Navy, and of General Dear-
