IRISH EIWCATInN.

Sir J. NEWPORT brought forward his promised
motion on this subject. It was, that the House
should, by a resolution, pledge itself that early in
next Session of Parliament they should take the shb-
jact of the state .of Education in Ireland into consi-
deration. After some conversation this question was
negatived without a division.
The other. Orders of the Day being disposed of,
the House at Half-past Twe lye adjourned.

JOHN TUE BATTU r.—H6Jicky4t the Stock Exchange.

*Scarcely have we had breathing time, after our
10Cuitation at the aperoaching repeal of all restric-
tions on our fellow-countrymen on account of reli-
gious differences, when we are called upon to con-
gratulate the commercial world upon a revolution in.
the Councils of the State, which most materially
streets their interests. The revocation of the Orders
in Council has been formally announced in the
Gazette, and the measure is, as it ought to be, full,
free, and unconditional. The Americans themselves,
by a clause in their Non-Intercourse Act, (which
we have already pointed out to our Readers), have
amply provided for the restoration of a perfect une
derstanding between the two countries, immediately
on the publication of our departure from the Orders
in Council. An unusual bustle prevailed yesterday
among our merchants in the city, when the joyful
intelligence reached them that the revocation was un-
conditional : and we have reason to believe, that two
millions and a half of money belonging to Americans,
and which has been for many months accumulating in
this country, will be expended in the course of this
day in the purchase of British Goods. That the
manufacturing interestf—nay, that almost every in-
dividual in the united Empire, who earns his bread
by honest industry,' will be benefited by the demand
thus excited for British Goods, and by this influx of
money into our markets, cannot be for a moment
doubted ; and that the joy and satisfaction conse-
quent upon this cheerful prospect may be of long
duration, is our most earnest"wish.
• Jam saris teals Mei& atque graudinis dernisit Pater !

If any thing could add to the sensations of delight
which we feel in conveying this intelligence to our
Readers, it would be an assurance from cur brethren
,in America, that their eyes were averted from all
sitbserviincy to the interests and ambition of France,
and twined in future with the beams of peace and
fraternity towards .Great Britain, th:oughout her
awful contest for the liberties of the world !

That such a consummation is at hand, we have
every reason to believe, for by the letters and papers
received in town this morning from America to the
29. d ult. we learn that the rederalists were every
where successful in their elections, notwithstanding
the hostile attitude assumed by Mr. MAnvos and
his partizans. There is no chance, it would appear,
of that Gentleman's re-election as President. The
above intelligence was brought by the Holkar, arriv-
ed at Liverpoal in 19 days from New-York. The
interest of the other articles of intelligence brought
by this vessel is entirely superseded by our revocation
of the Orders in Council:

While we most cordially unite with those who
have complimented Ministers in the House of Corn-
mons, on this additional instance of their candid and
manly compliance with the public voice, we cannot
but regret that any act should have occurred which
must be viewed in a different light by the country.
' The nation has been taxed to pay Mrs. PERCEVAL'S
pension of £3OOO a year, and £30,000 in ready
money. Night not this- money have been saved to
the nation by conferring on Mrs. PERCEVAL'S son the
lucrative sinecure of the Chancellorship of the Duchy
Of Lancaster, which has just been conferred on Mr.
BRAGGE BATHURST ?

Thursday se'nnight four Gentlemen, who were
prisoners in France, effected their escape from Mor-
his in an open boat, and were picked up by the
Friendship, Captain LE Strewn, between the Islands of ,
Jersey and Guernsey. One of these Gentlemen is a I
Planter of Nevis, another a Barrister of the same place,
and the two others the Master 'and Mate of the Ca- I
lista of London, which was retalen three years ago,
'by Mr. Sr. Cnoix, of Jersey, she having lost her way
amcng the rocks of that island. They report, that
" great disturbances exist in every part of France,
1 and that in Brittanny bread had suddenly risen
from four to fifteen sous per pound ; that the
farmers were' afraid to bring any corn to mar-
ket ; that the little which was brought to Morlaix on
the sth inst. caused the mob to rise, who took posses.
( sion and destroyed the whole, nor could the riot be
i appeared till the military were called in ; and that by
( order of BONAPARTE heavy -contributions are now
.1 raising in every part of his empire, and such as cannot
t pay on detnand, have some of their household furni-
-1 tare seized and sold for *that purpose ; which order
1 has occasioned many.proprietors to hide their best, in
I order to save it, and many good houses now appear
nearly unfurnished—even the fishing•stnacks ,are

watched by armed soldiers, and half the produce oil
eir labour, on their rrival, is taken from ths m, to
be shared equ Illy between'the Government and the
Cu4toni-house and their emissaries—distress is at its
height in every.. part." They also state, that NAN).
LkON, bef,re leaving France to go to the North had,
in order, as was believed, to appeAse the clamours of
the people, intimated that his journey would be pro-
ductive of a general peace before next January.

It is said that Government h.tve determined on
taking pcssession of the Island of Groa, off L'Orient,
as a very desirable station for cur vessels, and admi-
rably situated for the annoyance of the enemy. In
deed, we areluclined to believe that it was for the
•
capture of Grao that the four sail of the line, men-
tioned in our Plymouth-Dock letter, sailed from that
port on Monday last. If so, the island is probably
ere this time in our possession.

It is reported that Ministers are in possession
autheatic copies of certain letters which recently
passed between BEnNisnorre and BONAPARTE. They
are said to afford convincing proofs of unshaken
allegiance on the part of the former to the country
which has adopted him as Sovereign, and to hold
out prospects of Sweden joining Great Britain and
Russia in the GA:at Cause of curbing the power of
France.

We have no further information to communicate
to our readers this day on the subject of the reported
capture of four sail of the line in the Mediterranean,
which we mentioned in a second Edition yesterday.
The statement is doubtful in many respects.

PLYMOUTH, JUNE 22.—Colonel BLOOMFIELD was
this day unanimously elected Member for this
Borough, in the room of Sir THOMAS TYRWHITT,
lint. On being declared duly elected by the Mayor, the
Colonel addressed him and the Freemen as follows :
6, MR. MAYOR AND CLNTLEMJ

44 I am at a loss to express in terms adequate, my gratitude to
you, for having this rl&y elected me •ue of the Represen ativei of
this Lncient and honourable Borough.

" I feel, however, the less solicitude for my insufficiency from
the consoling bel'ef that there is a common Itond of sentiment
amongst 113, that will mature the connection which I have this
day had the honour and happiness of commenting with you.
That bond, Gentlemen, is the attachment and devotion of us all
to the Illustrious Personage who lives in the hearts of this peo-
ple; an attachment and devotion which have ever bees, and ever
will be, most grateful to him. Gentlemen, it has lenghbeen my
pride and my happiness to hare been the devoted servant of this
Illustrious Personage; and this day has doubled that pride and
that happiness in consummating my devotion and my services to
yoo, who are among•: the moat loyal, and the most faithful of
his subjects.
" Gentlemen, J have exerted my utmost endeavours to see and
pay my respects to every individual Freeman in person ; and as
I have, notwithstanding, had the misfortune to fail in some few
