TOITOLA MI PORT BIM

Free Port Bill, !4r. Hohhoule in the Chairs
Mr. VANSITTART moved a new Claufe, err.
powering his Malt(ly to make certain regulations it
the T.'rivy Council.
On the quellion that the fame be made part of the
Mr. ROBE objefted very fircingly to the whole
Bill, hat particularly to the claufe now introduced.
He laid that by this claufe 4500 hogibeach were al•
lowed to be imported into this country as of Britifie
growth from the Ifland of Tortola. But that ifland
only produced goo (mall hogiheads. or 600 large
ones. The quantity of foreign fugar thst would thus
he admitted is five times the growth of the ifland.
Nit.;CT V;4l the weight of the hoglheads at all Rated
in the 1:' ;.
Mr. A'l i:INS had tome objeftions to the Bill; but
he approved of it upon the whole.
Mr. ROSE Paid, that agco hogfheads of (agar
were loft year remaining in Jamaica, and ro,coo io
the other Moods, that could not be exported for want
of fhipping.
Mr. VANSITTART obferved, that the eftimates
of 45oce hogfhends was made on the as erage• produce
of the Virgin Mends, of which the whole came
thr )ugh Tort ,do.
Lord CASTLEREAGH cerofidered it as one of
the moil cm? aro diu.ery nicotine' of legiflation ever
entertained in tbat Elqufe. Its operation would be,
to enable foreign growers to import (agars into thin'
country under Liitith dirtiest and tolimpore she hard—
!hip on Biitilh gtowtrs of rsporting under foreign
duties. .

Lord TEMPLE (aid, it was very unfortunate for
the Noble Lold's argument that the petitions from
Tortola on the fubjeft of this Bill, were .prefented by
the Britifh Planters, whom his Lord fnip refrefented
as injured by it. Tortola was not capable of farther
agricultural improvement : and the etre& of this bill
would be to enable its inhabitants to become commer-
cial.—The Britifh capital, which had, under the ope-
ration of nmilar laws, enriched the ifland of St. Tho-
mas, woul' be thus transferred to Tortola. A Britifh
Hand would ;sorrels thc advantages of the carriage,
commit Son, freight, dec. heretofore enjoyed by that
colony.
Mr. ROSE denied that Tortola in any refpea re.
!ambled St. Thomas's. That was a free port for ar-
ticles of commerce in general ; nor was Tortola
othervrife, in any repel% in the fituation defcribed by
the Noble Lord. It was an ifland pofelfing almoft
as great capabilities of produCtion as Jamaica.
Mr. JOHNS I'ONE objefted to the Bill, on the
ground that it aeled upon a principle which, when
pradiced by foreign nations, we reprobated, aqd cap.
tared their Chips. He laid that the quantity of fugar
defcribed by his Hon. Friend near him (Mr. Rofe) as
remaining in the Wands, was a proof that their lute.
rafts had not been negleBed.
Mr. PERCIVAL obferved, that the Petition of
the Tortola Merchants, he believed, referred to the
original Bill, while the objeetions of his Honourable
Friend (Mr. Role) were principally againfl the clanfe
now introduced. He thought Come time might be .0,
given, and Come modifications made in the Bill, in
anfequeuce of the obfervations that fell from that
fide of the Houfe.

Mr. VANSITTART, in anfwer to Come objec-
dons, Paid that the Bahamas and Bermudas, the only
other free ports in that quarter, were too &dant from
the track Of the trade to be available. With relper2
to the weight of the hogfheadt, he would move an
amendment, that each hogfheari fh.mld confit of is

The French Journals, which reached u: efterday,
are very barren of intelligence. They ptefent, how.
ever, a curious Petertburgh letter (of Parifian manta.
failure) the objeft of which cannot be mitlaken ; but
it can impJfe on nobody.
A new demarcation of the German frontier is now
talked of. The Rirer Mayne will, it is faid,torm the
future borind.iry between North and South Ger-
many. But in tart it matters nor, as things (land at
the prefcnt mment, what river may be called the
frontier ; r.or is it of much conl:quence to Which of
the tine,: dependent Princes on the right bark of the
Rhine the greater (hare of the advantages of this
new partition is to accrue, but it appears to be prin.
dimity framed for the aggrandifesnent of Baden.

of the Conflitution of the Empire have bete fated.

HAMBUILGH MAIL.

!II ........
The Mail due on Bandar arrived this day. The
, contents are important in as far as they contradia
the accounts received by the left Mail, of the Ruffians
having evacuated the mouths of the Cattaro.
The following are the principal articles of intelli-
gence received by this conveyance:
Srocemosst, Aran. ti.--. Three couriers are ar-
rived here : one from the King, one from the Impe-
-1 rial Cabinet of St. Peterfburgh, and one from Lon-
don, wbidt humid to Pomerania.
New mouth a camp to exereife the weeps will be
formed is Sehesen, ands the awnwand of General'
Enron Toil.
Mamma. Aram ty.—The reports of the arrival
of a Treads amain from Vienna, with news of the
evacuation of Cattaro by the Ruffians, and the ter.
initiation Odle ddlimeneetoo that fobjea, are wholly
groaudlefe. Every thing here it alto oo the fame
sating. The French garrifon at Brannan is bury
throwing up fortifications; the corps of Martha'
Boot?. is Bavaria; that of Nay, M Snabia, now
on the point of changing its quarters a little, to
lefen the burden; the corps of Bernadotte, quiet
in Franconia; hitherto, not a word bas tranfpised
concerning their departure. Our own troops are
r ' Bill on the War Eitablieensent. It is raid that tome
sew regiments are to be formed ; and it is relolved,
Vast in future no foreigners, but only Germans, (hall
be nuked among our troops ; though hitherto the
Savanna 'Army has confifted wholly of natives.
The departure of the Imperial Miaieer at War,
Duke Alexander, is equally put off for an indefinite
term ; end many eircumftances thew that he hirnielf
expeas to remain in Germany till July.
It is clear that u the flay of the French-troops in
the South of Germany depends principally on the
!elitism between Aueria and Rutile, and the moment,
for their departure depends on the anfwer cf the Ca.
Bina of St. Petalburgh, the period for that event
cannot be-known in lets than one month from this
time. The expellee refpereing Dalmatia, &c. did not
fet off till the end of the left and the beginning of the
pretest month. It is irnpoffible that their travelling
I , fhould keep pace with our willies.
The conveyance of the Aullrian prifoners proceeds
without interruption under the direainu of General
Von Stutterheim, who is (till here, and the report
that fined the affair of Cattaro, tome of them had
been flopped on their march in Germany, is ground-
lefs. Thofe who were already pall the Rhine, were
ezem?ted from the counter order really given, which
its, however. fufpended for the prefent the farther
tranfport from the interior to the Rhine.
APRIL 20.—The conjeanre that the Duffehlorf
Gallery of Paintings, which has been Come months
here, might be claimed by the new Government has
been verified, and a letter to that (Sea has been al-
ready received by our Court. We are the more
curious about the event. as the objet is itfelf of in-
*erasable value, and, according to the calculation in
snooty. amounts to many millions.
n W , Aram ea.—To remonerances made at
r • Didfddorf, an anfwer has been given, that the occo.
pinion of Dents was neceffary in a military point of
• I
view.
There is a bra correspondence between Dufreldorf
sad Munich, upon many points : Bavaria reclaims
Os wean of revenue till the moment °frac'', and
the Duke Joachim reclaims all the fubjeas who have
tailed in the Bavarian army. No further amps-
patioss have taken place on that fide. Duke Joachim
is gone to Paris. It is pretended here that the corps
1 of General Lefevre has, for the fecond time, received
orders to recroCs the Rhine. Count Winzingerode
has long fince had his audience at Paris of the Em-

peror.
BANKS OF Tlll MAME, APRIL 2z.—The nephew
of the Minifter Talleyrand, who it was raid carried
from Vienna to Paris advice that the Ruffian had
evacuated the mouths of the Cattaro and Calief
ISluovo in Dalmatia, has, we arc now affured, only
• carried to Paris the content of Auflda to permit, in
confequence of the want of tranfports, 40,0c0 French
troops to march through Auflrian litria and Croatia
into Dalmatia.
The report fill continues that the Senator Beau-
harnois, the father of the Prince's Stephanie now
eleCtoral Princes of Baden, will be the Supreme
head of the Swifs Confederacy.
VIIIIIMA, APRIL 19.—According to the hal 2C-
tounts from Contlantinople, the relations between
the Porte and France are become fo friendly, that
• there is reafon to apprehend a war between the
Turks and the Ruffians.
A Courier has arrived here horn Palermo by the
way of the Adriatic Sea and Triefle. Enghilt and
• Ruffian (hips, of which three are of the line and (even
frigates, with a number of (mailer veffels, are cruizing
• off Sicily.

A Courier from St. Peter (burgh has arrived, with
aJ%ices to Prince Rafumowlki, and afterwards pro.
L • .r.Jed with difpatches to Conlin:A.4lople.

Beaus. Anti. jactron hill hegira his
palnerts, but is Rill here. A great council of late
has been held. at which four Mini(len of State were
precut. General Ruechel is gone to Pomerania.
On the 19th Count Haugwitz fent the following
notice to the Merchants at Berlin :

" The left advice' from London bring word, not
only that the Eighth Government has laid an uer
bargo on all Pruffian Chips in the Britifb ports, but
that farther hollilities were to be erpetled again!! the
navigation and property of PruEian Micas. This
Court will on its fide immediately take meafuresfitit-
able to the eircomaances, but has thought fit to in-
form the Merchants of this fadden change, that the
fubjeAs of his Majefty may do every thing to fecure
their property. The Confab in the Sound, Holland,
and all frequented feu ports, hive orders to affill the
Pruffien Captains in avoiding the threatened danger,
and warn than of the Britins Chips cruizing againft
them. By his Majelly's fpecial command,
Berlin, April tg, tBo6. " V. HAUGIVI TZ

Hamsoaan, Aran. Al.—Nothing of •ny particu-
lar confeceence has occurred fince my lel. The
Duchy of Lanenberg is occupied by the Pruffians
nothing officical has been publiihed concerning the
ikirnaiila between the Swedes and Pruffians. It ap-
pears, however, that the Swedifh General wrote a
note, announcing to the Proffians, that in ea& of
their croffing the Elbe, he bad orders to refill.
The Englith Vice Coati, Mr. Nicholas, has given
notice to the merchants of Hamburgh and Altona,
that all (hips which were laden before the 23d of
April, as alto all fbips in baltal, on producing the
necatry certificates, will be permitted to taa horn
the Elbe, and proceed on their voyage.
Yefterday the Englifh Secretary of Legation, Mr.
Frere, arrived here on his return to London.

Ar &IL ;el.—They write from feveral PralLan ports
that an embargo has been laid on Englifis flips, there
is one at Dantzic and two at Pillau.
On the 37th April the Lady of Mr. Jackfon, the
Englifh Envoy at Berlin. was delivered of a fon.
ALTOII,II, APRIL 29.—•111ty write from Barcelona
that advices from Madrid mention an intended war
aping Portugal, and add, that in cafe Spain Thonld
make a conqueil of that country, Ike will cede Na •
varre and Bits-ay to France.
Azotaas, Mattel to.—At this moment a cry of
horror refoonds from every quarter. The Sal Mi.
toiler, the Mailer of the Horfe, the Secretary of
State, the Infpedor of the Slaves, and four other
perfons of diainaion, have been firangled.
Roars, Meacn a6.—The Englifh Vice Conful, Mr.
Scott, who carried no a correfpondence with Gent.
ral Craig, at Meffina, is among the number of thole
arrefled in the Neapolitan territories.

A fcarcity of prow Mons is reported to prevail in
Sicily.
COMITAITSHOPLI, MARCH 24..... Ten days ago a
Ruffian frigate and Come tranfports arrived here from
Corfu, on their return o the Crimea. Several Ruf-
fian Officers, among others Count Lacy, are on board
there flips.
The report that has been circulated, of a breach
between Turkey and ILA', is as yet unfounded ; but
it is true that warlike preparations are making on the
frontiers of both countries.
MARCH aB.—The new Ambaffador to Paris, Mulib
Effendi, is preparing for his departure, and the Porte
is getting ready a number of magnificent preterits for
the Emperor and Emprefs, conFaing of coaly dia-
monds, pearls, and Arabian holies.
Advices from Perfia report. that the Ruffian Gene-
ral Sicianoff has fallen a facrifice to the blacken trea-
chery : At the moment that the town of Bacon was
to be taken by Aorm, it offered to capitulate. This
was granted, and the Ruffian General repaired to a
tent ereoßed between the camp and the town, to ne.
gociate with4the Deputies, where, his fuite being
(mall, he was inftantly attacked and murdered by re-
veral banditti—a terrible event, which will have im-
portant confequences. General Sicianoff was a much
dimmed officer, and his unhappy end is greatly la-
mented.

Sir JOHN BORLA3I W , after the capture of
the Marengo and Belle Pottle, which took place not
far from the Cape de Verde Iflands. it is underflood,
went into St. Jago, to refit. He continues his cruise.
By the fubjoined letter it appears, that, in contra-
diaion to the Official Bulletin, the people of the Ra-
w:Liss claim the honour of the Marengo having
&tick to that (hip :
" His MAjefty's fbip RAMILIII. Mad of St. Jago, 4th April:

“ I have to inform you, that coming from the Bland of Ma-
deira to the above Bland, o• the 13th of March, we fell iu with
the French (hips Marengo, and Belle Pouk, homeward bound,
hom the Mauritius: we fell in with them early in the mornlr,T.
The London engaged the Marengo; the Amason ergsged the
Belle Poole. We being a good failing tip, took the London's
place. I have the honour to fay the Marengo thick to the tip
I belong to. We have manned ber, and fitted her out as one.'

It was yellerday reported, that LINOIS had inform-
ed Sir J. W that Jevons Bon AAAAAA
fqoaron was eruizing off St. Helena on the 4th of
February, and had captured a Britilb line of battle
(kip of 74 guns. If there be any troth in this Rate-
ment, the fhip alluded to is probably the Powatrue,
which Admiral DUCKWORTH detached I: ma his
fquadron to the Eaff, when he proceeded to the Weft
Indies. There is, indeed, every probability that
" brother Jattow a" is gone to India ; and no time is
therefore to be 101 l in fending out our reinforcements
to that quarter.

In the prefect Exhibition of the Royal Academy,
the Drawings by Down man arc unirerfally admired
as Portraits of great truth and elegance.
ASJIZE or BliaD.—This day the Lord Mayor,
after infpeaing the returns, ordered the price of
Bread to be continued at its prefent price.
Yeaerday four waggons loaded with dollars went
from the EaII India Houfe to go to Portfmouth, in
order to be (hipped on board the China flips out.
ward bound.

Logo Macau-Les Tat ax.—The attendance yeller-
day was much more numerous than we have yet wit.
tidied. It included all the fithionables who have
been prefent fince the commencement of the Trial.
with the addition of many whom we have not ob-
(creed before. The increafe we fuppofe attributable
to the general expetqatiou that Mr. Trotter would be
examined.

The fiat witneffes, who were feveral times under
eransination before, were chiefly examined by Mr.
Giles ; their tellitnony related to evidence given on
former days.
Mr.Whitbread then underwent a long examination
by Mr. Horner, on the fubjeft of Lord Melville's
Speech in the Houfe of Commons, explanatory of
hip conduA ; wher, after a fcw preliminary obferva-
(ions from Mr. Whitbread, he announced the name
of Mr. Alexander Trottcr, as the next witnefs he
(hould call.

A general buzz prevailed throughout the Court
at this moment. When Mr. Trotter appeared in the
witnetTes' box, the oath was adminidered to him by
the Clerk of the Parliament, while a breath fcareely
appeand to efcape between the bps of the fpeetators,
who all feemed to pant with expeCtation of force great
event. He was examined in chief at &it, in a flaw
and firm tone, by Mr. Whitbread, but he foon be-
came animated and warm. Mr. Trotter anfwered,
nn his direA nomination, in the beginning, with
much prerifion, and in an audible tone; but towards
the latter end, his voice fell fri low that he could
fcarcely be heard in that part of the Court not imme-
diately near the Managers. His dired examination
continued for two hours, and his crofs-examination
for about the fame time, and concluded about half-
pall four o'clock ; when the Lord Chancellor alked
Mr. Whitbread, whether his examination would oc•
cupy much more time ? to which Mr. Whitbread
anfwered, that it was likely it would. It was then
deterred until this day, and the Court adjourned
with the ofual formalities.

It is with infinite pleafure we communicate to our
Readers, any circumflance likely to contribute in at.
traffing to the inviting fez malt of South Wale., thole
numerous votaries of fathionable life, who may have
impaired their health in crowded cities during the
winter. One of our Correfpundents in the Princi-
pality, on whole accuracy and veracity we can fafely
rely, informs us, that great preparations are making
at Trilby, for that elegant atiemblage of fathion and
beauty, which is expeeed to grace that charming re-
treat, during the approaching [rummer. This Tweet
fpot is about to receive from the hand of Art toms of

his judicious eye immediately perceived the incoave.
nience which the numerous vifitors there had expe-
rienced from the want of hot baths, livery daisies,
reading rooms, &c. Thefe, and other articles of
comfort and acrnnmodation, are immediately to be
fupplied. Sir WILLIAM and Mr. Coexist:, the
architect, are now on the fpat ; and the friends of
public utility entertain little doubt but that the re•
felt of the conference will give additional credit to the
well known munificence of the proprietor, and the
genius of the Artill.--4ir WILLIAM PAXTON, With his

CITY ow LONDON v. BAILY.—Our :tenders will
recolledt, that during lad term the Corporation of
the City of London obtained a maerlernes f:om the
Court of King's Bench to compel the CommitTioncrs
of the Court of Requells to hear and determine a
caufe, wherein the Chamberlain of the raid city
claimed the payment of 4.01. from Mr. Francis BAily,
who was (worn and admitted a Broker, agreeable to
the Aft, 6 Anne, c. 16. and the mile came on for
a final hearing on Saturday lad. The defendant re-
fitted the payment, under the plea, that a perfon 'aiy-
ing and felling dock only by corms:Aim (in which
capacity alone he arils) did not coat: within the
meaning of the datum The Ceti: t, however. did
not think it neceffary to attend much to this cm:llion,
fiace they cruld not confides him in any other light
than &regular broker, as long as he remained on the
hit. They confecrentiy Jetcrmin-d, that he was
hound to pay the 401. every year, :Vi::!e his name itt•
mains on the lilt.
