ASYSTEM of PRACTICAL ARITHMETIC
applicable to the present State of Trade and Money Tran
sections, illustrated by numerous Examples, under each Rule,
chiefly adapted to the use of Schools.
By the Rev. J. JOYCE, Author of Scientific Dialogues, &c.
This new Arithmetic is intended to obviate the complaint that
every Youth on his leaving School and entering into the Count-
ing-house has more to unlearn than he has learnt relative to the
actual calculations of business. Every Rule, and every Example,
is drawn from real practice in the various branches of Trade, n 1
the useless and obsolete Rules which have hitherto disfigured our
Books of Arithmetic, have given place in the present system, to
the usages of real life.

HANNAY'S ORIGINAL. SPECIFIC,
Fur the Infallible PREVEN PION of a CERTAIN DISORDER.
FORTY YEARS experience in every quarter of
the World, has indisputably established the Fact, to which
the Discoverer (the late Si, SAMUEL Ha Nu/iv, Bart.) pledged
himself, that this PRVENTATIVE was infallible in its powers, and
effectually secured to BOTH Sexes complete protection, where the
directions were punctually observed. Many are prudently de-
terred-from trying the effect of any antidote, internally, fearing
consequences injurious to the Constitution. In the use of the
SercIFIC (an external Wash) theie is every thing to hope, nothing
to dread—the doubts of the Sceptic, and the opposition of the 111..
terested, are alike subdued.
It is notorious, and has been particularly remarked by the Pli-
culty, that this terrible disease is not so frequent as heretofore,
and the blessing has been fairly attributed to the universal adop-
tion of those principles, npon which this highly celebrated Lotion
Is formed. The undiminished celebrity of its character fur so long
a period is its best eulogium, and advocates its reuse better thatr a
thousand attested cases, which, for obvious reasons, the applica-
tion Of this remedy renders inadmissible.'
This Antivenereal Lotion is confidently recommended to de
Army and Navy, and to all those going abroad, (as it will main
its virtues for years in any climate,) they, from the nature of their
services, being more peculiarly exposed to the ravages of this
disorder. It is sold in bottles, at 10s. 6d. each, or 10s. if mocrthen
one, and at 7s. 6d. ; or three for a Guinea (stamps included), at
No. 1, Little Suffolk-street, Haymarket, where, only in London,
it can be had genuine.—lt will be sent • to any part of the United
Kingdoms, by inclosing an address, real or assumed, with a
Bank note equivalent to the quantity required, directed (post

AMERICA.

The Earl of SELKIRK rose, in pursuance of no-
tice, and entered into a detail of the circumstances
relative to the affair of the Chesapeak and the subse-
quent Trials at Halifax of sume of our Seamen fer
Mutiny and Desertion, for the purpose of shewing that
there was every reason to believe that the American
Government must have known that British Deserters
had been entered on beard the Chesapeak, and refuse
ed to be delivered up, particularly as no inquiry had
been instituted into the conduct of its officers upon
that occasion. It was therefore, in his opinion, im-
proper in Ministers to make an unqualified reparation
for the attack on the Chesapeak ; they ought to have,
demanded satisfaction from the American Govern—
ment for its conduct in refusing to deliver up Deser-
ters from our service ; and it was because he believed
that Ministers were, upon that occasion, disposed to
make improper sacrifices to the injury ofour maritime
rights that he- thought it his duty to bring forward
the subject. His Lordship dwelt for some time on
the importance of our maritime rights, and the neces-
sity of maintaining them to th-2 utmost extent ; and
concluded by moving an humble Address to his Ma-'
jesty, stating the opinion of the House that no ar-
rangement ought to be made forithe adjustment of the;
differences between this country and America, with-
out a reparation being demanded from the American
Government for the conduct of its Officers in har-
bouring and refusing to deliver up Deserters from the
British Naval Service.

The Earl of LIVERPOOL adverted to what he
said on a f3rmcr occasion, when the Noble Earl
moved fur papers relative to this subject, and observ•
ed, that upon the same principles he now opposed the
present motion, there being no ground for interfering
with the Executive Government in the business of a
negociation now pending. It would have been com-
petent for the Noble Earl to have moved an Address
to his Majesty requesting a statement of the progress
of the negociation ; but as the matter at present stood
the Noble Earl had made a motion upon a subject
rctspectinz which there was no information before the
House. How did the Noble Earl know but the sa-
tisfact'on he wished to have been demanded of the
American Government had actually been demanded ?
He (Lord Liverpool) did not mean to say that it had
been, because he did not mean to say any thing re-
specting the progress of the negociation. That neg-c-,
dation was still pending, and it was impossible for
the Noble Earl to know what had bee.: done so as to
authorise such a motion. Seeing therefore no neces-
sity whatever for the motion, he must decidedly op-
pose it.
Lord SIDMOUTH observed, that upon former
occasions each House of Parliament had advised the
Executive Government, in various instances, respect.
ing relations with FcreignPowers. There was nothing,
therefore, novel in the principle of his Noble Friend's
;notion. He admitted, however, the force of the ob-
jection with respect to the pendency of the negociation,
and could not agree to the proposition of his Noble
iend.

After some explanation between the Earl of Liver-
pnol and Lord Viscount Sidmouth,
• The Earl of SELKIRK, in reply, observed, thnt
!he documents already on the table, it appeared
its iF t::e point to which he had particularly adverted
1. lo.:f.une;.;l,2cted by his Majesty's Ministers.
The axtiou was put and negatives.l.—Adjourned

DIS,LNI ILNT,

lst, Because the Resolution which has been moved this day,
with respect to Divorce Bills, appears to us fuunde I merely on a
speculation that sonic good may be produced it, when no rea•!l.
sonalde hope of success has been held out, from the example of '
any other country where this has been tried. And it appears to'
us, that instead of diminishing the evil complained of, the utmost
that can be exp,- elect from it is, that it may tend to conceal adultery.
idly, Because we consider it to be unwise in this House to ar—
rogate to itself TIIE :.01.E right of le;islating on this question, and
not to allow the other House pf Parliament the power of delibe-
rating upon 60 material an alteration in the laws of England.
:idly, Because the right of making a Standing Order' upon a
public question on width great diversity of opinion prevails should
be exercised with great caution, and must excite j.:alou ly in the
c:hir branch of the 1 e;islature. YONSONBY.
