more than four miles from the towns of Falkirk, Linlithgow,
and Batligate, and about the same distance from the sta port of
Grangentotlth, and the Great Canal betwixt the Clyde and the
Forth.
The premises ht particular are well worth the attention of an
Iron Com;,any, as there is abundance of Ironstone upon the Pro-
prietor's Estate of the very best quality, and as the Coal has
upon trial been found to be peculiarly adapted for furnaces.
A Tenant may be accommodated on lease with whatever
quantity of ground he may wish around the works.

I'ABES DORSALIS ; or, the Consumption inci-
dent to Young Persons of salacious dispositions, is so 'Win
treated of by the ancient practitioners of medicine, as well as
through the delicacy of modern physicians, that an adequate idea
of it cannot be collected from their writings. It is necessary, then,
to say, that the first symptoms of the Tabes Dorsals are es.sily
discerned by involuntary nocturnal emissions; pains in the back,
at well as often in the head ; formication of the spine ; aching
pains, and weakness of sight ; defect of memory, by an extreme
dejection of the mental faculties ; and contingent to these are
gutta-serena, meagre visage, emaciated body, irregular asthmatic
sensations, which, preceding a syndrome of hectical complaints.
ultimately close the fatal catastrophe. The efficacy of the Cordial
Balm of Gilead is daily demonstrated, in eradicating the worst
and most dangerous symptoms of nervous disorders • and nothing
bus tended so much to establish the fame of this medicine, as its
certain success in those complaints which strike their roots so deep
in the constitution, and are so fatal to the happiness of mankind.

SPRING PHYSIC.
DE VELNO's VEGETABLE PILLS are proved
by experience, to be the Bist and most innocent Alterative,
Purifier, and Sweetener of the Blood ; and those who are afflicted
with the Scurvy, Scorbutic Eruptions, Leprosy, Scroplitla, or any
other Disorders arising from vitiated Blood ; or those who have
impaired their constitution by Dissipation, juvenile Indiscretions,
or .Mercurial Medicines, should by no means omits coarse of the
Vegetable Pills during the Spring. The operation of this valuable
Vegetable Alterative is so pleasant and salutary u not to inter-
fere with the avocations of business or pleasure; Its action is con-
fined to the animal juices, and requires no alteration or restraint
in diet; it dissolvesin the stomach, blends with the food, and
gradually pervades the circulating fiuicN, correcting in its passage
any deviation from a state of convalescence; in short, it is the
long sought for Vegetable Specific, or safe, but active, substitute
for that fashionable mineral, Mercury; its efficacy excites the
attention and surprize of medical men, for when all other medi-
cines have failed, De Velne's Pills may be relied on as a specific for
all Disorders which orisinate in an impure or impaired state of
the Blood. '

PA RL IA M.EATARr PROCEEDINGS.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, THURSDAY, MAY 11.
The Irish Assize Fees Bill was read a second time.
The Charitable Donation Bill was read a second time, and
committed for Tuesday.
Mr. WILBERFORCE presented a petition from Wakefield,
against the Woollen Manufacturers Bill.
A long conversation ensued on the Retiree of an inebeeure bill,
in which Mr. GIDDY, 1111T.G. VAMITTART, Sir J Geeues,
Sir J. New eoRT, and Mr. W. SMITH took a 'part. The Report
was subsequently received, and ordered to be engrossed.
Mr. SHAWE LEFEBVRE moved for a copy of the Report
of the Commissioners appointed to examine into the state of
Culdbath Fields prison, which was agreed to. •
ORDERS IN COUNCIL.
The Order of the Day was moved by Mr. ROSE, to consider
the Navigation Act. What was now proposed, the Right Hon.
Gentleman stated, to be in the same spirit of moderation which
had characterized our conduct towards America, whom it was
• proposed by Government to treat with as great favour as any
other country in the world.
• Mr. WHITBREAD Wished to learn from the Right Honour-
able Gentleman, or :my of those about him, what was the real
state of our relation, with America, as far as they could he made
known 1 lie desired to be infermed, if possible, of what seas the
Present situation of things between the Governments of the two
countries, and whether the substantial concessions that Govern-
nse it were now making, were likely, in the estimation of Go-
verment, to maintain and secure the relations of peace and amity.
The Orders of Council, he was glad to find, were in a very great
degree abandoned. He was glad of it—and he had no present
wish to taunt the Administration with any observations on their
conduct respecting to proper a measure. But when they were
row called en to legislate upon the matters connected with our
inteecourse with America, he thought that the House should have
afforded to them some information on the actual state if affairs.
Mr. ROSE stated that the Honourable Member was incorrect
in presuming that we had made any concessions to America,
though it was true that we had thought fit, under a change of Cir-
cumstances, to make various limitations and alterations in the
effect of our Orders in Council, which alterations were in some
respects stricter than as the matter stood before, but in others
more easy. As to the actual state of affairs between the two
countries, the Honourable Member perhaps knew as well as he
did. What had been done arose from changes in the circum-
stances of the case,and alterations with respect to continentalaffairs.
Mr. WHITBREAD said, that he could obtain no answer to
his question from the observations of the Right Hon. Gentleman.
if the state of the Continent were the cause of these changes in
our Orders of Vouncil, then he desired to know what those
changes were, which had occurred since July, 1808, up to the
time of our alterations in ow Orders ?
Mr: ROSE repeated, that we were now in a different situation
with respect to the Continent.
Mr. WHITBREAD wished to know whether the Right Hon.
Gentleman meant to say, that we were in a different situation as
to Spain since that period, so as to account for our being, in last
July, so rigid, and at present so relating—a relaxation so great,:
but which the Right Hon. Member ca/led Rb departure from the
•riginal system.
Lord HENRY PETTY said a few words on the same side.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER contended, that
the alteration of our policy arose from the alterations that had
taken place in the situation of Europe, relatively to this country,l
as well as to sonic alterations as between us and America. A great
difference occurred in our foreign relations by the event of peace
with Turkey, and a farther alteration arose from the changed
situation of Austria—and he should have thought that the HOD.
Member might have felt the effect of such changes, and the bear-
ing of these and other'considerations upon the Spanish and Por-
tuguese Colonies ; and that he might have seen bow far relaxa-
tion became necessary, when America was availing herself of
these new situations of commercial affairs. If the Honourable
Member wished for farther discussions on the subject, he should
be ready to enter upon them; but he would contend, that the
sne: its of our proceedings towards America stood on the same
grounds as before.

Mr. WHITBREAD was aware that the Right Hon. Gentleman
would prefer future discussions to present explanations, since he
believed him to he unprepared with the means of accounting satis-
factorily for the recent changes in his policy on that subject; but
yet he cilled on the House, in this want of information, to legis-
late. Compare dates and facts, and see if there were any foun-
dation for saying, that our relations with Spain, upon the princi-
ples of the Right Hor.. Gentleman opposite, bad occxsiotied our
relaxations only. In March last, upon his motion, Ministers
s lid, that no relaxation.: could be permitted, though they knew
then what was going forward in America. 1 he Chancellor of the
Exchequer had proceeded to bring it the cases of Turkey and
Austria, but the treaty with Turkey had been known before any
alteration was made, and the business of Austria occurred only a
few day s back. He could not think that he had received any fair
answer to his question.
After some observation from the CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER, Mr. Rose's motion was carried, purporting that
goods, wares, and merchandize,should be allowed to be imported
in American vessels.

BIIIBEEtY AT FurTloNs.

Mr. Craven's Bill was read a first time. The Bill proposes to
eiract, that any person selling or purchasing seats in Parliament
in any (tray, should forfeit a sum to be named, and disabled from
sitting in Parliament ; and rust agents convicted of such practices '
should be liable to a penal.y to be named ; and that an oath be
imposed on the Member elected, wf kb, in case of offences against
the proposed Act, should subject the party to the penalties in-
flicted on those convicted of perjury.
I\ Ir.cURWEN hoped that the House would agree to the print-
ing of the Bill, and however incorrect the Bill might be in se
respects, he trusted that the Chancellor of the Exchequer
not oppose it, but rather lend his aid to supply any thing which
its delis iences might require.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER wished ratbor to
have the BM printed, upon the second reading. He was prepared
to give the Bill a full and fai: discussion, as he had originally stat-
ed, though it might appear so objectionable in some respects on
the second reading, as not to render it adviseable to proceed far-
ther in the consideration of it. He had no objection to its going
into a Committee, but be was desirous of seeing it in print, that
it might be fully examined in its fundamental principles, and in
all its bearings.
The Bill was ordered to be read a second time on Tuesday next,
and to be printed.
• M. CIIARMILLY, ETC.

Mr. WHITBREAD said, in alluding to something he had
said on a former occasion, that he now understood that M.Char-
milly had no mission to Spain from the Secretary of State here;
but he went there, it was supposed; rather front the circumstance
of his commercial failure; and he had heard that his certificate
had not been signed, owing to his absence. It was, howevr,
rather odd, that, in the commissions, his name did not appear in
the firms with which he was connected. He had received £..:000
from this Government, besides £3OO as a proprietor in St. Do-
mingo. He wished to know, and wished the Noble Lord to be
emr.gh to enquire, whether there was not a letter in his
office irtil:l General Maitland respecting M. CharmiUy f He was
desirous of moving for an account of all Foreigners who held /3ri-
e3h Commi,sioris, and of all extra allowances made to them, and
the reasons for such extra allowances, and what present service
Ciev a employed in, whether on the staff, or otherwise, and that
such account be laid before the House.
After some words from Lord CASTLEREAGH and Sir J. Pei,
TY N EY, the motion was for the present deferred.
A Copy of a Letter from Mr. MERRY, respecting Col. Ogle's
levy, was laid l•cfore the House, bringing up the account to Oc-
tober 4, I WS.
CHARGE AGAINST LORDCASTLEILF.WII AND MR. SPENCER
r:,:ncEv
Mr. MADOCKS rose and moved that the Reso-
lution of that House, past•Ll in the year 1779, be now
read, which was accordingly done. The Resolution
states, that it is highly criminal in his Majesty's Mi-
nisters to use the power they have by their official
situations in directing or inruencinq the elections of
Members to be returned to the Commons House of
Parliament, which it describes as an Act contrtry to
the independence, privileges, and dignity ofthat House,
and an injury to the rights and liberties of the hubject,
and subversive of the foundation of the constitution.
Mr. MADOCKS then rose again, and moved that
the Resolution, passed on the 25th of April last by
the House be read, which was accordingly

•e*!.
