dividual. loudly complained: The firm condo t
of Admiral HA& rsi NC K, the CoMmander in Chief
of the Batavian fquadron, and of the French fri-
gate which forms a part of it, prevented, however,
any bad confequences from this difcontent. Go-
vernment-has given orders that the fleet shall be
fuppliedwith the belt provifions.

Admiral Ds Witten has arrived in tbe Tent :

Dac.23—The Government has forbid artificers
and workmen of the different branches of the ma-
nufaOtu es of this country to engage themfelves to
work in foreign countries.

An arrangement between the city of Amfterdam
and the Cifa!pine Republic, goes to exempt re-
fpeaively the inhabitants of each territory, from
Droit d•Aubaine. It is alerted that the Ba.
tavian Government propofes to demand of the Le-
gitlative Body, that this meafure, equally withed
for by the Cifalpine Government, be decreed as a
general regulation between both countries.
BOURDEAUX, DEC. 32.—W2 are Corry to learn,

the crew perifhed.

Nice, Dec. 14.—Some evil difpofed perfons
have circulated the moll mifchievous reports, in
feveral communes of the Maritime Alps, on the
ultimate deftiny of Piedmont and Nice. Accord-
ing to thefe reports, the KING OF SARDINIA is to
be reinllated at Turin, asd the French are to eva-
cuate Nice. The confequence of which is, that
the Tree of Liberty has been cut down in the
communes of Utelle and Roccabiliara. The police
is endeavouring to difeover the culprits.

dragoons paired through this city to-day, on their
march from Naples to France. We receive from

damages done by the late hurricanes. The walls
of Civita Vecchia have been in part blown down.
At Terracino, feveral veirels have been wrecked,
and the emits of the kingdom 9f Naples prefeni
fcenes hill more deplorable.

FLoae tee, DEC. 7.—The Kiwo has recently
iffued a decree for the rigid obfervance of the laws
refpating game : at the fame time, he has an-
nulled every procefs which has commenced for
the infra&ion of thofe laws.
VENICE, Dec. B.—Cardinal FLANGINI has
been appointed to the place of our deceafed Pa-
triarch by his Imperial Majelly, in his quality of
Duke of Venice. The Cardinal is known as a
man of letters, and particularly by his tranflation
of Apcllonius Rhodius.
TURIN, Dec. t2.—Our troops are already in-
corporated with the French army ; and-what fiill
more induces us to believe the reports of our union
with France, is, that the French language is now
taught in all our fchools, in order to render it com-
mon throughout Piedmont.
Toms, Nov. 27.—A Tunifian corfair, com-
manded by Captain Reis &RHIN, having
brought in here feveral French tailors, captured
on board a French vefrel, the Bey, when he heard
of this circnmftance, exprefred the turnoff difplea-
fure, and ordered-the captors to be put in irons,
and that the Frenchmen fhould be fet at liberty.
He then canted an allurance to be made to
them through the medium of the Batavian Conful,
that he would enfure the complete reffitution of
the valet and cargo, or pay the amount of them.
This intelligence, from which it refults that the
Bey of Tunis difapproves of the hollilities commit-
ted by tome corfairs againft the French flag, was
tranfmitted officially to Citizen BADAIT, Frettch
Commifrary of Commercial Relations at Genoa,
by a Ragufan veffel arrived in that port, and hay.
ing on board one of the French releafed at Tunis.

CAN v fa Germany.. and initead of that, to indem-
nify him in Italy, have proved fruitlefs; the FIRST
CONSUL having declared that he will not depart
from the aria execution of the treaty of Lune-
vine. It will become, however, an objea of fe-
rious codideration at Amiens, and an eisdeavour
will yet be made tp change the indemnity of thi

The commtmication between our Cabinet and

yefterday received intelligence from Paris, dated
the tyth init. at five o'clock in {the evening, im-
porting, that the kit Landamman has had an
audience of the FIRST CONSUL, in which his re-
ception was of the molt flattering nature. That
the refult of this audience was highly fatisfac-
tory ; that there is no doubt that the prefent Go-
vernment will be acknowledged ; that no part will
be detached from the Helvetic territory, and that
what has been already taken from it, will be re-
united to it ; that the hurthenfome conditions of
the treaty of 1798 will be Bruck out; that the ge-
neral conftitution will be modified, and that each
canton will be left at liberty, to form for itfelf a
conftitution fuited to its wants ; and that a dircuf-
fion on there points will take place between Citizen
TALLSTRAND and the firft Landamman.
1 The Senate thanked the Prefident for this com-
I munication, and begged him to prefent to the firft
Landamman the expreffion of their gratitude, and
to attire him, that they fully approved of the fteps
he had hitherto taken. ...-
Rerpeiting the point, whether the inferior Coun-
cils are authorifed to expel a greater or Idler
number from the Houfe of Correition, and tranf-
port from the country, foreign vagabonds, the Se-
nate have refolved, that in fuch authority are only
compiled the criminals who have been fentenced
by the Corredional Police; of the number of
which the Inferior Council may propore the libe-
ration of thofe who have received above one half
of their punifhment ; taking the preciution of pub-
lifhing their various deferiptions, and adding. to
their expulfion from Helvetia, the denunciation
of a double punifhment in cafe they should return
into that country.
The propofition made in the laft Sitting, for ap-
pointing permanent CommiMons for affairs of the
like nature, was again taken into confideration by
the Senate, who have decreed the eftablifhment of
permanent Commiffions as follows :-Ift, One for
the confideration of Petitions; zd, With rerped
to the Conftitution ; 3d, Of the Finances • which
three Commiflions are in fait to be confidered as
permanent Committees ; 4thly, A Military Corn-
million; sthly, One for Civil and Criminal Pro-
cefres ; and, 6thly, A Commiffion for the Affairs
of the Police, and of Public Inftrudion.

PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS.

HOUSE OF LORDS, MONDAY, JAN. 4.

A Meeting took place this day, in purfuance of
their Lordfh►ps' laft adjournment.
Prayers were again read by his Grace the Arch.
bifhop of CANTPREURY.
Some private bufinefs was difpofed of, which
principally conf►fled of Petitions for private Bills,
and arrangements for hearing of Appeals.
Lord WALs: NC HAM brought in a Bill to difiblre
the marriage of Charles Badges Woodcock, Efq.
wi►h Ann, his now wife, late Ann Crof4ie, and to
enable him to marry again, and for other purpofes
therein mentioned, which he moved to be now read
a firft time.

In reading the Bill, the LORD CH A tit aLLoR par-
ticularly read the breviate thereof, which in fub •
fiance fet forth, that the parties, Mr. and Mrs.
Woodcock, were married in the courfe of the year
179 o; that tome time in 1794, in. confequence of
their not agreeing well together, a deed of repara-
tion was mutually executed. That in Tome time
after, it was alledged an unlawful intercourfe was
detefted between her and Mr. Hutchinfon, who, it
was aliened, had fhortly after' left the country,
from which he was abfent feveral years, and in
confequence, as the Petitioner Hated, he was ad-
vifed that an ataion for damages could not regu-
larly be brought againa Mr. Hutchinfon in the
Courts below ; but that, in the interval, the ne-
ceffary proceedings had been inaituted in the Ec-
clellailical Courts, where the ufual fentence of di-
vorce between the panics was pronounced in fa-
vour of. Mr.:Woodcock, Ste.
On the queflion for the fecond reading of the
Bill,

The Loan CHANCILLOR quitted the Woolfack,
and deemed it incumbent upon him to offer to their
Lordthips an obfervation upon the cafe, which he
thought one of a rather fingular nature, and re-
quiring a degree of ferious confideration. The
breviate which their Lordibips had jnft heard read,
afforded them an outline of its merits. What he
fhould firft have to call the attention of the Houfe
to, in the prefent indance' was the circumftanae,
that recurrence was not had to his Malay's. Courts
below, as was the regular cuftom in all fuch cafes.
The reafon alledged l'or this was, the abfence of
the offending party from the country. It was cer-
iain that their Lordfhips bad no pofitive order
againft entertaining Bills of Divorce, on the fob-
s& of which a verdiQ of a Jury of the country was
not recurred to, on the queftion of, whether the
party was entitled to damages ? but at the fame
time, it was equally well known that their Lord-
Blips were not in the habit of receiving Bills in
which fuch an omiffion had occurred; there was
alto another circumftance, of (till more important
confederation, in the prefent cafe, namely, that the
parties had, previoufly to any alledged ground for
the prefent meafure having taken place, entered
into a deed of reparation. With refpe& to this
point, their LordfhiPs would recoiled that it was
lately held in the Courts of Waminfter Hall, that
fuch a voluntary proceeding tended to obviate the
grounds of claiming for damages in fuch a cafe, as
by that ad it was eFear, that the Petitioners parted
with the/ditties, of marriage ; for the lofs of. which
the compenfation in the 'ray of damages was obvi-
bully given. There peculiar circumflances forcibly
Itruck him as requiring fome ferious confideration,
Ind a rather longer paufe than ufual on the part
of the Houle. Under this impreffion, he thought
the firft day of neat month cgold not be deemed
tgio late a period for the fecond reading of the Bill,

moved
the Noble and Learned Lord then regal irl;
moved fitould be fixed for the fecond reading of
tke Bill, and which was ordered accordingly.
The ufual orders were then made for the atten-
dance of the parties, &c. on the diy fixed fur the
fecond reading of the Bill.
The Earl of CASSILLIS, one of the Scots repre-
tentative Peers, was (worn and took his feat.
Some routine butinefs was then difpofed of, after
which, the Houfe, on the motion of Lord Wal..
fingham, adjourned till Thurfday the 14th.

• HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Mr. GAlTalsaear brought up two Petitions againft opening
the DiftiSeries.
The Soucrroft GENZRAL brought up a Petition from the
prifoners confined for debt in the gaol of Aug Wry, praying for
relief.—Ordered to lie on the Table.
Sir E. KNATCHISULL prefented a Petition from fevcr..l per-
lons refiding in the city of Rochefter, againft the RochJkt
Gaol Bill.—it was ordered to be referred to the Committee on
the Paid Bill.
Mr. CORRY brought up an account of the amount
of the 6 per cent. duties, for the loft five years.—
Ordered to lie on the Table. _ - -

Mr. Coats' laid, he took this opportunity of
giving notice, that as loon as public bufinefs*Was
recanted, he Would beg leave to call the attention
of the Honfe to this fubjet.
The CHANCELLOR of the Excasopze.—" Sir,
on the laft occafion when this Houle was affem-
bled, I thought it my duty to propt,i;.: an nartirri-
ment only for a Own period. The confiderations
which at that time operated upon my mind, arc,
to a certain degree, now in force, at leaft to a fuf-
ficient degree to induce me to make nearly a fimi-
hr propofition ' • at the fame time I have the fatif-
faaion.to ftate,that the force of thefe circumftances
is fo far dimini(hed, as to convince me that it will
not be neceffary for me to detail them to the Houle.
I (hall therefore move to adjourn to Thurfday fe'n-
night, atwhich time I (hall probably have to move
to adjourn to the period at which it was originally
intended to propofe an adjournment for the Chrift-
mas Holidays."—He concluded with moving that
the Houle fhould, at its tiling, adjourn to Thurf-
day fe'nnight.—Agreed to.
MC CHANCELLOR of the EX C HMI? ER then moved,
that the Orders of the Day (hould be read, which
was alfo agreed to, and the Committees of Supply
and Ways and Means were put off till Friday fe'u-
night.—Adjourned to Thurfday fe'nnight.

• The proprietor of an eftate.at Chetletton, near
Bridgnorth, in the year 1763, planted a number
of poplar trees on fome moift land, one of which
was lately cut down, and found to contain 55 feet

appears to have increafed nearly one foot and a

It is a remarkable cirenmftance that by the re-
gifler of burials belonging to the parifh of St.
Mary, in Orford, were appear no funerals in the
months of March and July of tflot, and only one
in the month of October; as well as that the fune-
rals of that parifh in the whole year have not
amounted, by above one-third, to the general
average, which is about ninety, one year with ano-
ther, whereas by the regifter the funerals of 1801
appear to have been under fixty. ,
The opinion entertained by fome of . the molt

CAUTION.—A great number of counterfeit feven
(billing pieces are now in circulation. They can-
not be detected by the ring of them as formerly,

Fifty Guineas from Hounflow Barracl.,s to Hyde-
PAritCorner, between Mr.Tay LER and Mr. Wea-
selly both of the loth Light Dragoons, tht for-
mer in a gig, and the latter in a chaife and pair,
which, after a hard contefted race, was won by
the gig by about ten yards; the diltance which they
performed in forty minutes was eleven Miles and
a half.

Sporting Aneedate.—One of the French Princes

fort of a !hot the Prince was to wh:elt the man
replied, " I thought, Sir, you had been the bell:
Mot in the world, till I flt'ir his Highnefs, who
bents you ; for if he had pulled as often as the
French fellow defired him, he would have (hot all
the pheafants on your Honour's eftate."
POACH INC.-At Doncafter, on Saturday ha,
Jonathan Green, of Attercliffe, labourer, was con-
vi.led by the Magifttates in the feveral penalties
following; six. aol. for (hooting without having a
certificate ; eel. for !hooting in•the night, an 51.
for !hooting a pheafant in Gatewood. It may not
Le improper to [late, that, though large as the
' penalties are, the poaching bnfinefs had nearly
been of of a Rill more ferious confequence, as
Green very•uarrowly efcaped being caught by one
"of the flee! traps which are let in the wood, and
which mull have taken off one if not both his legs.
The numbers offiray capons, and met fent turkies,
have been fi nlimerous in the prefent fcafon as
even .to furnifh employment for tome of the infe-
rior Courts of Justice. The expeaation of game
at this plemottelatg time is fo natural, that yob*
Bull is touched in the tenderell point, when be is
led to fuppole that he has been made game of by hit
coun:ry friends!
We are glad to hear :hat three of the Pro:meet
ittsgr4:re, whole tun is to juge Ladies into the
(;cone!, were prefented on Saturday evening, in
Fleet llreit, 'with form very excellent Chtillmas-
kxet, and which were bellowed on'them with filch
an hearty good will by feveral indignant oblervers
of their condudt, that the Tr arks will ii,n

rears gee.
Tile fair daughter of a &kilt Senator has lately
placed her affaiion on a young handlome Hiber-
nian. Being a!lzed by her the reafon for this
attachment, (he replied, " Out of refpeel, Sir, to
your political fentirnents—you was a ftrennous ad-
vocate in Parliament for uniting Ireland with Eng-
land, and I with to ftt an example of forming a
uniea with her people."
A buxom young Widow, hearing a Gentleman,
a few days fince, tell her father that he was going
to advertife for a wife, obferved, that (he thought
he might rave the expence of an advertifement.—
The Gentleman was not infenfible to her arihery--
her arrow hit him full in the bleaft—Hymen has
fince united them.

As a &oiling company were performing lately
the Play of King Lear in a country barn, the tra-
gic hero, at the fcene of the pelting florm, Repped
forward, and thus addreffed the audience :•41 La.
dies and Gentlemen, I humbly beg that you will
be fo kind as to fuppofe, at this moment, a war
of elements ;" as I am very forty to info; m you.
that our 'hinderer is gone tipling to an ale-houle,
and that the rats of this barn have defirOyed all
the peafe we rattled in a fieve for the rertfentation
of bail." It is hardly neceffary to add, that al-
though the audience was runic, the Tragedy in-
flantly became a Comedy.
A Bear Garden, it is faid, was opened laft week
in Tottenham-court road, under digtinguillted pa.
tronage. The cowardly amilfement is—to fet m. 41:

tifement to innkeepers and others of a limilar de-
fcription in Ireland, afflered by the dittillation of

To confider the expediency of a petition to the
Imperial Parliament againtt that meafure, or of
adopting fuch means as may enable them to con-
tinue their refpative avocations under fo heavy a
cal am ity,", feveral perfons attended at the appoint-
ed hour lalt Tuefday ; but it being announced that
a police-magiftrate, and a divifional conflable,
with a number of thief-takers, were waiting to
convey to Newgate any one who fhould take the
chair or move a refolution, the rerfons who had
been convened, recollecting the fufpenfion of the
Habeas Corpus, and alto the fometimes fummary
procedure of gentlemen, upheld by military law.
by which Ireland continues to be governed, deem-
ed it prudent to pocket their grievances and de-
part. So much for the right to petition ! For the
liberty of the fuhjeCt ! For the boafted extenfion
of the Englifh Conflitution to this now integral
part of the Empire !
