wityMOUTII ZLICTION.

Mr. MACDONALD presented a Petition from
certain voters of Weymouth and Melcombe Regis,
which returned as many members as the City of Lon-
don. The Petition stated, that the pending Bill would
strengthenexisting abuses in the boroughs ; that the
late Sjr W. Pulteney had the power of creating tem- '
porary votes, in order to secure the election of four
members—that his power came into the hands of the
Countess of Bath, and after her to those of the late Sir
Lowther Johnstone, who devised it by will to four
trustees, the Duke of Cumberland, Lord Newark,
Mr. Cathcart, and Mr. Ewer (or Ure) : that the
Duke of Cumberland had interfered with the borough
in the election of Members, and sought, for particu-
lar persons, promotions in the army and navy. Far-
ther, that it could be proved, that for the last twenty
years the rights of the Borough had been held by an
individual. The Petitioners were persuaded that such
abuses could only be controlled by an extension of the
right of voting, which was necessary to secure the in-
dependence of the borough. On the different grie.
vances stated in the petition, the petitioners were
ready to give evidence at the bar. Mr. Macdonald
then moved, as the preferable course, that the petition
be referred to a select Committee to report thereon.
Mr. BATHURST objected to the motion, as un-
sanctioned by the Report of the Committee, which
stated nothing but a specific abuse respecting devises
by wills real or fictitious. The Petition went to a
total reform in the representation of the place, a sub.
- ject not brought under the review of the House by
the Report.
Mr. WEATHERELL said, that the Petition con.
tamed an allegation against the Duke of Cumber-
land, which the House had twice negatived.
Mr. Serjeant BEST could not allow that this Bill
would have the effect of making Weymouth a close
borough. After striking off the fraudulent votes,
there would still remain above 800 freeholders, which
ita
was a pretty sufficient number, without extendin the
tight of franchise. He therefore supported the, ' li,
Alderrnirt ATKINS said, that the Committee ad
never t'.ought of proposing to disfranchise the Bo-
rough, to which length be conceiVed that the Peti-
tioners wished to go.
Mr. W. WYNNE was decidedly of opinion that
the House should hear the Petitioners by their Coun-
sel, before they passed the Bill. He did not con-
ceive that the House was bound to confine itself to
the Bill presented by the Committee, but thought
that they were at full liberty, after hearing the Peti-
tioners, to take whatever measures they should think
most expedient for remedying the abuses which should

appear.
Mr. DAVIES GIDDY thought, that if this Bill
was confined merely to Weymouth, then the Peti-
tioners might of strict right claim to be heard in sup-
port of their claims and interests : but if it was meant
to be a general Bill, affecting the whole kingdom, he
then did not think that they could claim it as a right.
Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY called the attention
of the House to the serious situation in which they
stood. They were at all times bound to be attentive
to the petitions of their constituents, and in no case
were they more bound to be attentive than when the
subject of the petitions referred to the right of elec-
tion.—The question now seemed to be, whether the
petition which had been presented to them should be
rejected or heard ? That this Bill was not a general
law appeared plainly from its tide ; and if any gene.
ral law was made out of it, the title and the Bill
would but ill accord. The individuals who peti-
tioned, complained that their rights were much
affected by the proposed Bill, and wished to be
heard, by their Counsel against it. How such a
Petition could be refused he did not see.—(Hear.)
In what light would the Members of that House
stand before their constituents, if, when there was a
complaint of the interference of a Royal Duke against
the freedom of election and the privileges of that
House—if when even that Royal Duke was charged
with making an offer of his interest for a place, in
order to influence a voter—the House did not think
it proper to take any step upon it ; and yet, when a
number of petitioners complained that the effect of
this Billwould be to make the borough more under the
influence of the same Royal Duke, they should refuse
to bear those petitioners ? He thought, that accord-
ing to all former precedents, the petitioners had a
right to be heard, and to prove by evidence the alle-
g.itions of their petition ; and that the importance of
the present case, in every point of view, called for
ruck information being laid before the House.
Mr. PONSONDY and Mr. MACDONALD were-heard in
explanation ; after which the House divided, when
there appeared—Against the motion 102—For the
=nation 37—Majority 65.
On our re-admission we found Mr. BATHURST
moving the Order of the Day for the House going
into a Committee on the Weymouth Election Bill.
Sir JOHN NEWPORT suggested the impro-
priety of any further proceedings on the subject at
that late hour, and moved that the House do adjourn.
The motion was negatived, ,and the House went
into a Committee, in which some discussion took
place. Ihe Report was received, and the Bill or-
dered to be read a third time this day.—Adjourned
at one o'clock.

Further extracts from the German Papers, brought
by the Heligoland Mail of yesterday, will be found
in our columns of to-day. They state, among other
interesting particulars, the occupation of part of the
fine city of Dresden by the Russians, where they
have been received by the inhabitants as friends and
deliverers. This morning arrived
ANOTHER HELIGOLAND MAIL.
The justness of our anticipations, respecting the
issue of the conflict in the North of Swope, receives
confirmation every day. The King of PRUSSIA is
the declared ally of Russia, and enemy Of France.
The Hanseatic States, Hesse and Hanover, are in
arms; and even Austria has unequivocally declared
against France, though not yet either by words or
actions. This is not more paradoxical than certain :
it is evident almost to demonstration. An intends:4
may be discovered, not only by acting, but by for
bearing to act. The Russians have advanced into
the Circle of Lower Saxony, determined to continue
their westward progress, leaving their left flank ex-
posed on the side of both Gallicia and Bohemia.
The Austrians have not made any movement for in-
terrupting their march. That they should not, was,
no doubt, a matter preconcerted or well understood
by the Courts of Vienna and St. Petersburgh. To
satisfy the latter that it had nothing to fear from the
former, must have been an easy matter : there was
scarcely any need of so much as a declaration or even
hint from the Austrians on the subject.
The Romans, having a better army than any other
people, conquered the nations one after another, from
the Tyber to the Euphrates. This awful truth was
ever present to the minds of the Italian States, the..
first that were civilized in Modern Europe. Political
writers impressed it on the minds of their Italian
countrymen, and the Italian States and Princes made
various combinations for restoring and preserving th e
varying balance of power. The necessity of maintain.
ing this balance was at last universally recognized by
Europe. From the 15th century to the partition of Po-
land by the Prussians, Russians, an d Austrians, when-
ever any power .preponderated gr eatly in the scale of
nations, the neighbouring powers confederated in time
against it. The folly as well as the iniquity of de
parting from that system, has been abundantly proved
and felt under the iron Empire of BQNAPARTZ. Tbsi
notions within the reach of France, have been for
more than twenty years in a state of slavery. If they'
are wearied of their chains and resolved to be free,
now is the day of salvation, and that they will so,
resolve there is not room for the smallest doubt. The
prison doors are set open to all who have courage to
walk out. The authority of the Tyrant depended
solely on his success. He cannot maintain it long
ally where, except, perhaps, within the precincts of
France, in a state of humiliation.
Italy had, tor not less than twenty years, suffered
under an invasion of African and other nations, con
ducted by the renowned HANNIBAL. The Romans
long maintained posts in different parts of the coun-
try, and held a divided Empire; but reinforcements
arrived to the Carthaginians from time to time, and
the Romans at last were cooped up in, a corner. In
this extremity SCIPIO AFRICANUS proposed to the
Senate to send an army into A frica, that should call
back the Carthaginians for the defence of their own
country. His advice- was taken—ltaly was relieved
—Carthage fell.—They only, who stand on the high
ground of the best political information, are capable
of determining whether or how far it might be pro-
per to act, at present, on the principle of Scipio
AFRICANUS ?—We select the following extracts from
the Mail received this day :

" BERLIN, MARCH ItS.

" His Majesty the King has made an offensive
and defensive treaty with his Russian Majesty the
emperor Alexander.

PROCLAMATION BY THE KING OF PRUSSIA.
41 TO TUE PUBLIC.

gg It is unnecessary to render an account to my
good People, or Germany, of the motives for the
war which is now commencing ; they are evident to
impartial Europe.
44 We bent under the superior power of France.
That peace which deprived me of half my subjects,
procured us no blessings; it on the contrary hurt us
snore than war itself.

The heart of our country was impoverished.
—The principal fortresses were occupied by the
enemy ; agriculture was neglected, as well as the in-
dustry of our cities, which had risen to a very high
degree. Liberty of trade being interrupted, naturally
closed all the sources of ease and prosperity.
44 By the most exact observance of the stipulated
treaties, I hoped to obtain an alleviation for my peo-
ple, and at last to convince the French Emperor that
it was his own interest to have. Prussia independent ;
but my intentions, my exertions to obtain so desira-
ble an object, proved fruitless—nothing but haughti-
ness and treachery was the result.
64 We discovered, but rather late, that the Empe-

4, But, however great the sacrifices that may be re.
quired from individuals, they will not outweigh the
sacred interests for which they are given, for which
we combat and must conquer, or cease to be Prus-
sians or Germans.

66 We are now engaged in the last decisive con-
tests for our existence, our independecce, and our
property. There is no medium between an honour.

" Breslow, March 17."
THE KIN 4 OF PRUSSIA'S ADDRESS,

ge To MY ARMY—Often have you expressed your
wishes of fighting for the liberty and independence
of your country. The Moment for doing it is now
arrived ; there is no member of the nation by whom
this is not felt. Youths and men voluntarily fly to
arms. What in them is free-will, is to Mott who be-
long to the standing army, a call.

From you, ordained to defend the native country,
she is entitled to demand what is offered by the others.
sg See ! what numbers forsake every thing they
hold most dear, to venture their lives with you in
their countries cause. You will, therefore, doubly
feel your sacred duty !

so May all of you on the day of battle, or in time
of trouble, keep in mind moderation and due disci.
pline. Let individual ambition, be it either in the
highest or lowest of the army, sink before that of all
He that feels for his country, does not think of self.
May the envious meet contempt, when the general
welfare only is concerned!
14 Every thing else must now give way to this—
victory proceeds from GOD I Shew yourselves worthy
of his high protection by obedience and fulfilling your
duties. Let courage, constancy, loyalty, and good
discipline, be your renown I—Follow the example of
your forefathers ; be worthy of them, and remember
your posterity !
A sure reward will fall on him who distinguishes
himself ; deep disgrace and punishment on him who
forgets his duty.
" Your King will always be with you, and with
him the Crown Prince and the Princes of his house.
They will fight along with you.
" They and the whole nation will combat with you,
and at our side. A valiant people will come to our
assistance, and to the assistance of all Germany-2
people that by glorious deeds has secured its indepen-
dence. They relied on their Sovereign, their lea-
der, their cause, their own strength ; and GOD
was with them; so will it be with you, for we also
fight the great fight for the independence of our
country.

,I Confidence in GOD, Courage, and Perseverance
be our word. (Signed)
" FREDERICK WILLIAM."
OFFICIAL BULLETIN.

By the Mail which brought the above, Government
received dispatches, the contents of which will be
found in the following Bulletin;
• WAR DEPARTMENT.
A Dispatch has been received from the Lieutenant
Governor of Heligoland, dated the 30th March :
It apppears, that of the detachment of Veterans
sent by Colonel Rautt.Tox to Cuxhaven, a party,
consisting of one Lieutenant, three serjeants, and 25
men, had marched to Bremer Lee, to occupy the
batteries at that place, and to afford some support to
the insurgent peasantry. The enemy appears to
have collected a force of 5 or 6000 men at Bremen,
and on the 24th a detachment of about 700 marched
rapidly upon Bremerlehe, dispersed the peasants, and
fired the bridge, which was bravely defended by part
of the Bth Veteran Battalion, under Lieutenant BAU-
aZISTER. This Officer, with 12 or 14 of his men,
were killed. The enemy then attacked the battery,
where the rest of the veterans and a body of peasants
were stationed.

T. mph capitglood is the hope of ming

therives. The French eared six or seven *of the
British veterans, but massacred every one of
sants. They then pillaged the town, and
hastily to Bremen.
The French sustained some loss in burning
bridge, and 2e of the veterans, and about
of the peasants, were lost in this affair.

The Russians appear to have.puthed some
sacks towards Bremerlehe. It was reported
Count'iVirroansraiu had crossed the Elbe

A private letter of the 29th March, speaking
the above event, says, that the Commander
little party was shot by a Ruffian, in the shape
French Lieutenant, after he had surrendered
French commit great excesses, and are detested
the inhabitants of the North, who would turn
a man if they had arms, but of these the country
bus stripped by the enemy.

SECOND EDITION.

FARTHER ADVANCE OF THE RUSS:

Private advice% from Heligoland of the
state, that the Russian troops have left Hamburg!'
fur the Weser. Prussian troops from Mecklenburg's
have occupied Hamburgh, and more Prussians
expected. The Cossacks have arrived at Lie
Banks of the Elbe and Weser are entirely
the enemy.

Many Saxon, Westphalian, and Bavarian
have entered the German Legion, after publishing
their reasons in sported proclamations.

Stettin has been summoned, and the besieging ,
neral has had a few hours conference with the Gover-
nor : the people were violent for a capitulation, -
it was expected to fall in a few hburs.
The Emperor of Rust* returned to Kalitsch
the 19th. The King of PRUSSIA entered
on the 23d.
A troop of Westphalian horse bad deserted ,
Magdeburgh, and more desertions were expected.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, TEL
SUSPENSION OP THE NON-DITZECOVESE
Mr. CLavas, from the Committee of
Means, made the following Report :
a The Committee of Ways and Means
to report, that they have deemed it to be . dnty,
that the public service may not suffer, that pub••
lic credit may be duly supported to look beyond
Ways and Means of the present year ; and
into consideration the revenue which may be
for the service of the year 1814, that an eu
the probable amount of the revenue which
cur, under existing laws, and be receive'
that year, has been submitted to Congress, .
nual Report of the Secretary of the 1 reasnry,
during the present Session, that comparing the
thereof with the sums which will be probably
quired by a prudent regard to the public credit,
appears to the Committee indispensably necessary
make a further provision—that this may be "
a partial suspension of the Non-Importation
and which will not greatly lessen their ink
fects upon the enemy, by an additional dui
reign tonnage, and by the imposition of internal
and duties—that in their opinion all these -
be necessary to supply the Revenue which
wanted—that it is impracticable, during
Session, consistently with due attention to the
of a nation, to enact the laws necessary to emi
last-mentioned object; but that may be done
difficulty, and without any delay which ma.
rious to the public credit, by an earlier
Congress than the constitutional period, which
be the duty of Congress, or the Executive
Government, to fix at such time as shall
proper and expedient ; that it is, however, nec
that the suspension of the Non-Importation actsoe=
is contemplated,should be enacted at the present session

additional duties on foreign tonnage, they beg leave

was in consequence granted by Mr. Walker, to arrest the parties
charged with the horrid crime, and they were brought before
the hlagistrates for examination: when J. Williams positively
swore to the person of Mr. Charles Tuckett, as being accessary
to Miss Pierce in the murder. Upon her cross-examination,
however, several circumstances appeared, that proved ihat her
testimony was false ; and after the expiration of several hours,
Mr. Tuckett clearly proved an alibi, by producing witnesses to
ascertain that he was in his father's house in Bristol at the time
he was charged with having been at the house on Dardhem
Down. Two witnesses were also produced by Miss Pierce, who
slept in an adjoining room, on the night in question, and who
swore diretly contrary to the testimony of Johanna Williams.

confessed that the whole account was a fabrication of her own, for

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, .4P.RIL 7.

J. Cetar, a butcher, was indicted for an av,ault
on his wife, to whom he was originally a jo%rney-
man. On cl:anging his situatio, he treated her
with great brutality.
Mr. WALFOHD contended it was only gentle cor-
rection, the stick made use of not being thicker than
his thumb.

The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Watson) observed, that the
butcher's mode of castigation was not admissible in
law, although the wife still was compelled to cohabit
with her castigator ; and. alter a verdict of Guilty
against the defendant, sentenced him to pay a fine of
40s. to the King, and to find sureties of the pace for
one year respecting the King's subjects at large, and
more especially towards his wife.

SOCIAL HA.PPINESS.
M
ARRIAGE should be the foundation of Social
Happiness, which is often disturbed through the parties
that form the union not taking those precautions which would aa
cure them the enjoyment of that great doinestic blessing. People
of every tank pay adoration to the shrine of wedlock ; but whims
the constitution has been tainted by disease, or debilitated by a
certain habit Contracted at an early age, a renovation of stability
previous to entering that state is indispenslbly requisite to review
the slumbering sparks of life, and to reanimate the system. Far
no disorders have contributed more essential* to destroy Hyme-
neal happiness than those which are the consequence of unguarded
pleasure. It was this consideration which induced Messrs.
'CURRIE and Co. for these last twenty years, to direct their Stn.
'dies and practice exclusively to the treatment and cure of the Vss.
nereal Disease, and the disorders arising therefrom, as also to that
derangement of the system, produced by the destructive habit of
the inconsiderate school-boy, which brings on those distressing
Debilities and Deficiencies that prevent or embitter the Matti.
rnonial state. The successful result of their plan, gives than
additional ardour to oppose the ravages of these complaints,
which are the most important in the catalogue of human init.
mities. It behoves every person who has indidged in this soli.
tary vice to seek relief by consulting professional men of emi-
nence and honour, to which Messrs. Currie and Co. elaitn the
n sanctioof scholastic authority, as well as the testimony of an.
contradicted facts. Its professing the cure of these complaint;
they hold out no inducement to vice •, but, sensible as all men
must be of the existence of such calamities, they oiler their assis-
tance as regularly-educated Members of the Royal Colleges of
Surgeons of London and Edinburgh.
Messrs. Currie and Co. have selected the following letter from
the many they are. daily receiving, from Gentlemen returning
'them thanks for their restoration to sound and vigorous health.
It was sent to them unsolicited, front the son of a Noble Earl,
who had laboured under this distressing and painful malady for

He may add, that he Las not for many years enjoyed so much
