ZDINSUSGH POLICE BILL.

On the question for the third reading of this Bill, which was
moved by the Duke of Ar not t, a discussion of sonic length
owed
Tbs Marquis of DOUGLAS adduced a variety of objections
spinA the Bill, which he characterised as highly unjust, and in-
jurious in its tendency, as then framed, and bearing some of the
fames of a job. He aid not wish to get rid of the measure al-
together, but merely for time and opportunity for revisal and fur-
tier consideration. He therefore moved, that the Bill be read a
third time this day three weeks.

The Duke of ATHOLL argued at considerable length in favour
of the measure, and noticed the repeated discussions it had ex-
"grimed In the Committee, who had sent it in its original shape
is the House. He also adverted to the consideration of its being
heeded in point of principle on the existing Bill, which was not
fathom its expiration ; the errors and deficiencies of which, it
amply removed and remedied.

The Earl of 'LAUDERDALE decidedly supported the objec-
fios of the Nuble Marquis, atsd emphaticaUy characterised the
ensure is bearing the features of a job.

The Earl of MORTON strongly supported the Bill.
The LORD CHANCELLOR expressed doubts as to the
popriety of their Lordships agreeing to the Bill in its present
lam inasmuch as the interests of his Majesty seemed to be
sleeted by it, without the consent of the Crown being ob-
'tined, in the instances of the jurisdiction established by the
In, interfering with the privileges of the Royal Palace of
EstyrOod House, the Officers of the Mint. and with respect to
&College of Justice: In the cue of English Bills, he was aware
tk Royal consent was requisite to be obtained ; and he must
untidy object to the present measure's being hereafter adduced
us pecedent in those respects.
The Duke of ATHOLL explained, particularly as to these
points, and chiefly as referring to the Act of the 45th of his
/shinty.

The Marquis of Donor,es and his Grace repeatedly spoke in
elphastion, as did the Earl of I.AvatariALt and the LORD

The length of the debate prevented us yesterday
from being so ample as *e could have wished in our
extracts from the important communications brought
by the Anholt Mail: fa addition to the gratifying
Intelligence that the Russians Were most vigorously
preparing for the defence of the Empire, we now learn
that the French seem to be so fearful of the copse-
, stiences of striking the first blow, that they have made
tnother attempt at negociation. Btmaramte has
*fired us his ultimatum to abandon botl4 Prussia and
Nand, tin the single condition of ALEIMMEIOS be-
getting a party to the Continental Systemb and closing
Potts against British Comtnerce.
Accounts from Riga of the 17th tilt. retention that
81 frigate was lying in that port for the purpose of
bringing to this country the final determination of
the Russian Government, as to Peace or War.. In
the mean time, while the unanimous determination of
the Limon and his Council of war, to wage a de-
fensive warfare against their invaders, has met with
the approbation of the whole Enipite, we find that
the French armies, now assembled on the frontiers of
Russia, are already greatly distressed fur the. want of
provisions. Every attempt had been made to pro-
cure grain from the Russian ports without effect,
and the French had even offered to open Pillau and
Other Prussian ports for colonial produce, on condi-
tion of getting grain in return.
In addition to her other warlike preparations,
Russia is now fitting out two lava' expeditions, of
which Admiral Cants (an Englishman by birth)

THE ORDERS IN COUNCIL.

r.A Paragraph having appearet? in a Morning Paper
of this day, giving a pretended statement of the re-
sult of the Meeting of the Birmingham Deputation
with Lords LIVERPOOL, CASTLEREAGH, and Mr.
VANsrrranv, at Fife House, on Thursday, and sta-
ting that the result was of a nature hostile to the
expectation of a Repeal of the Orders in Council
we have authority to state, that the Report in ques-
tion is calculated to give a most erroneous idea of
what passed on the occasion. The Deputation
were most cordially received, and the impression re-
sulting from the conference was of a nature that un-
questionably indicated the hope of a modification, or
at least a pattiAl repeal of the Orders in Council.
