• EXCISE A*l-CUisTAMS.
On the motion of the • CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER, the House went into a Committee,
to consider of-the farther continuance of the several
Acts 'relative to the Duties of Excise and Customs.
The Right 'Hon. Geittlerozn observed, that it was
scarcely-necessary she attention of the House
t, the fact, - the circumv.ances on which mapy
of those duties depended had no ceased, and others
vronld dissppearat he conclusion of a general peace.
As it wls 'usual to make up these accounts to the

to ascertain, at present, what alterations-ought to be

had thought it better to give this formal notice, than

Mr, poito LAs moved the Order of the Day for'
...0.0 upon this Bill. '
Mr.,C4LCKAFT eaprea.cd intention to op.:
pose it '311.14111 Stage. •
Mr. firi griN.eoneeiresi it a bill to disfranchise
the non.iiikient voters; and to alter the:.aneieut con-
stitution of Pathan:tent.- The-laws already in exist-
ence amply ,proeitled for the punishment Of corrupt,
influence, -antf-tbere child be no tactile for adding-
to the Statute Bot. The Acts of William HI. tat
those of the riresent teign, were fully; operative,. and,
needed no esplapatory law. The Hon. Gentleman's
Bill went to confined the essence of criminal ECUs,-
and to intermingle what was unintentional with that'
which was really penal.
'Mr. ltdBE thought the Bill highly necessary to
. suppress the corrupt trathe which upon all excisions
apse under the allowance of paying the expences of
•-noo-resident voters. The Right Hon: Gentleman
~enumerated a variety otinstences, in which the Re-
parts of Election Comni".tees pointed at thin evil, for
. the remedy of which the Bill was actually necessary.

Mr. Scrieant BEST 'was of argon, thatif the

Mr. WItOTTESLEY was of 4hilon, that the
operation of this Bill would 614 11114 to increase the
mesa. The 0111011001% mustbe oeuveyed,'and
*very legislative regulation that attempted to restrain
it would be evaded. The BiU was objectionable on
another ground, the principle of it was evidently
partial, and if a measure of this kind was to be
radapted, - he cduld see no reason why confides should
4c excluded.
; The question for going into a Committee was then
lotto and carried in the affirmative.
Mr. LUSHINGTON opposed theßill, and moved
a clause, ewen‘e of conveyance to one
shilling per mile.
Mr. OSBORNE was tif opinion, that in addition!
to the allowance fur carriage, the expence of refresh
meet should be provided fur. '
Mr. CALCRAFT vindicated the general charac-
ter of ouoroters.
Mr. TIERNEY• said, that the Hon. Gentleman
who ha.d moved the one shilling a mile, should go a
little further, and move that the £3OO wealitication
for a' Member of Parliament, should be repealed ; or
very possibly, when be came to take his seat, after
'paying kis rs. a mere, he would hot have his ,8300
to take his searwith.4l: 'laugh.) The last Bill that
was brought into the House was for the purpose of

non-resident voter the espence of coming to poll,'
where that voter lived, and if he paid'more than the
sant allowed by law, it should be taken that he.did it
from corrupt motives.
Mr. C. MONK was in favour of the Bill, but if th.
Amendment was pressed, he should vote against it. '
Mr. C. WYNNE opposed the amendment for iil.l
lowing travelling expellees, but was in favour of es•
tending the Bill to counties.
Mr. PROTHEROE agreed in milinest with the

last Speaker.
Sir. F. FLOOD opposed the Bill, which he con-
sidered as a measure 44 innovating half reform.
Mr. Alderman C. SMITH repeated his arguments
against the Bill.
Sir J. NEWPORT and Mr.. H. THORNTON
.
were in favour of the measure. . •
Mr. J. MACKINTOSH was decidedly against
the introduction of the word counties" into the Bill.
He considered it as an amendment proposed by the
enemies of the Bill, who hoped,. by Its adototin, to
increase the objectionsok the measure, and to crush
.it altogcther. -.. •
The Gallery was then cleared for a division, 'and
the amendment was carried by a large majority,. the
nunibers being 50 for' it, and 5 against it.

- AVIGNON, APRIL 28.
The. town of Avignon has suffcreeco much from
the revolution and its.results,, that it. regarded the tall
of Bonaparte as the moment. of its returning health
and happiness. In die twinkling of an eye every per.
son mounted the white cbckide ; the *White flag Sm..

they had off the eagles from the carriages, that
they suffered them to proceed ; but unfortunately,
by means of conversation with the escort, they I...ar-
ned that Bonaparte himself would arrive that night,.
or on Monday morning, and they seemed resolved to
,watch for him. The terment was considerable; ne-
vertheless, towards the evening the crowd decreased,
and tranquillity was restored.
On Monday, at frier in the morning, the. English
officer arrived, who preceded. Bonaparte. tie officer
of the guard asked him if Bonaparte's escort was
Strong, and in a condifitio to prevent any kiod of out-

ared much affected at the apprehensions which-ere
entertained, and entreated the guard to protect, by all
