In the Sitting of the Legiflative Body, May 5,
(Prefidency of Losjoa,) the order of the day be-
ing the dircutEcn of the projea of law refpeetingl
the Pale of the rural property belonging to the Na-
tion, MATHILV, Orator of the Tribunate, explain.
ed the motives which induced that Body to with
for its being adopted. According to the accounts
made out, he ellimated the amount of the rural
property at 277,400,000 francs, ( about tt,558,0001.
fterling,) and that of the houfes, buildings,and ma.
chinery at 68,500,000 francs, (5,700,0001. fter-
ling,) forming a total of 345,900,000 francs,

( t7,258,c001. (terling,) without including the Na-
tional houfes, referved at prefent for the public
fervice, and which may be abftratled from it.
A part of the rural property to be fold, lies in j
the departments on the left bank of the Rhine.—
There is every reafon to believe, Paid the Orator,
that the eftimaticp fixed by the projee of the law,
will leave room for bidders to make advances, and
though the payment required in fpecie may prevent
fome of the city (peculators from bidding, it will
attrat't the inhabitant of the country. The latter
never formed nor could form a jun idea of the va-
riable value required formerly in payment ; he was
afraid of embarking in purchafes, the terms of
which were not known to him ; but here he can
compare his projees with his means, and the bur-
then he affumes with the time he will have to dif-
charge it. The projee was fandioned by a majo-
rity of 254 white balls to 3 black.
The Monitessr contains alto two reports read in
the Tribunate, May 4, by the Tribunes litussae
and Sae, the firli on the expellees of the year to,
and the fecond on a projee of law, which opens
a provifional credit of 300h000,000 francs,
( t2,500p001. fterling) to defray the molt urgent
expences of the year ti. Tbis projett of law con.
fills of three articles, one of which regulates the
expences of the year to,and climates them at soo
millions of francs, (above 20 millions fterling) the
fecond opens to government a credit for 300 mil-
lions (above is millions fterling) which added to
the aoo millions (about 8 millions fterling) of the
provifional credit granted by the law of the 25th
Ventofe, year 9, will form a like fum ; the third
relates to the credit of the contributions, and all
the other public revenues of the year so.

The Petition of Right refpeaing the Prince of
%Vat.' s's Claims, as Duke of Cornwall, which was
recommended after the late Debate in Parliament
on that fubjea for the opinion of the LORD CHAN..
clixsoa, was on Saturday fent by his Lordfhip to
the Secretary of State for the Home Department,
to be by him delivered to hisMajesry, which vrill
take place at the next Levee. The LORD CHAN-
CRE LOR having Rrongly enforced his Royal High-
nefs's claim, it will be a matter of courfe that his
MAJlrry will return it to the Chancellor, who will
then fix in which of the Law Courts the queflion
(hall be tried.

Mr. litres friends teem determined to bring him
forward again, if poffible, on the political theatre—
hence votes of thanks—a propofal for a ftatUe—
and the anniverfary of his birth-day. His name,
even without fuch aids, will never efcape the re-
colleetion of True Briletu in future ages, when re-
tracing the glories,: events of the juft and neesfaty
war in which we were fo lately engaged.
In moft of the London Newfpapers, publifhed
within there few days hack, it has been Rated that
Marquis Ws t. sLE y, Governor-General in India,
had, on his way up the river Ganges, on a vifit
to the different Rations of the army, expended
twelve thoufand pun& per month for boat-money. It is
much to be regretted that publilbers of newfpa-
pers, &c. thould be fo little on their guard, with
refpea to what they lay before the public, as a
greater error than the prefent never occurred.—
Inftead of twelve thorfaad /omit, the whole charges
incurred by Marquis W. for boats, &c. per month
only amounted to twelve thafand raper, abontif-
teen howirrd jewrds fterling.

other perfons were much hurt, but fortunately no
lives were loft.
Ycfterday afternoon a riot took place in Old
Gravel-lane, Southwark ; hut the mob were *dil:

chanting. To the charms of our -fair country-
women, another attraaion was added by chi much
ezpeaed appearance of Madame Racialist.
Two French ladies had fearcely entered when
her-name was buzzed through every walk. They
were drelfed in high Parifian cofturdE, with pockets
outfide, apron; of bizarre fancy, and molt tre-
mendous veils. The univerfal inquiry was,' which
is Madame RECAMER r and they were relied up-
on fo much, that they were glad to retire as loon
as poffible. They had not been long withdrawn,
when the real Mad. Recamier made her entre
about half pit three, accompanied by another
Lady and two Gentlemen. Both the Ladies were
drelfed in white, with white veils, and light via
let-coloured patjafols. Madame R. was foon recog-
nired, notwithltanding the wore her veil down,
and difappointment had increafed the curiofity of
the crowd. They preffed on all fides upon her.
Men kneeled down before her to peep up under her
veil. Some abfolutely feemed dirpoted to uncover
her face. There was nothing but crowding; tumults,
and fqueezing. The delicacy of the fair objeas
felt this conduct an infult, and after a turn and a
half they left the Garden. Their fituation out-
ride was not lefs painful. Grooms and footmen,
with molt infolent euriofity, crowded around them.
Gentlemen on horfeback left the ride and rode up
to join the admiring mob. The Ladies became
alarmed, and feared every moment that they lhould
be milled to death or trampled down by horfes.
—Their fervent could not penetrate the crowd to
apprife them of the place where their carriage was
in waiting. At length they reached it with great
difficulty, -but fortunately Without seccisiud any

the fruits of Mr. PITT'S war for fecurity ! Every
