COMMITTEE ON WIDENS IN COUNCIL.

Mr. ROSE moved the Order of the Day for the
House going into a Committee, for the purpose of
examining witnesses relative to the Orders in Council,
when the SPEAKER lel t the Chair, and MT.PABINGTON
was called to the same.—The first witness called in was

Mr. APlCerrell, a merchant of London, whom Mr.
Rose proceeded to examine. He said, he was for-
merly convinced, unless Great Britain was enabled to
accommodate all differences with France, and the
countries under her dominion, that the repeal of the
Orders in Council would be highly injurious to the
manufactures of England. As this country at present
stood with France, he was satisfied if the Orders in
Council were rendered more strict than they now
were, the greatest benefit might be derived by Bri-
tishmerchants, as well as by British manufacturers.
Witness was then examined as to the present state of
out manufactures, and the distresses of the individuals
connected therewith. His evidence' however, under
this head, being of the most speculative description,
and being diametrically opposite to that which had
been asserted by the most respectable witnesses hither-
to examined, on the motion of Mr. BROUGHAM, it was
expunged altogether.
Mr. Kerion, a general trader to the Continent, but
more especially to Spain and Portugal at present, being
examined by Mr. Rose and Mr. Attoutaot, stated in
substance that, in his opinion, the Orders in Council.
while the French Decrees were unrepealed, pro-
tected the comparatively small trade we had left,
and prevented neutrals from supplying several filar-
kets with French manufactures which were forced
upon them in their trade with France.--By those
Means the French would be enabled to rival us most
powerfully in the Spanish and Portuguese colonies,
in silks, jewellery,and linens, especially the latter, at
present supplied by Ireland and. Scotland.
Ifr. Bertlusm, a cotton manufacturer, of Liverpool,
engaged in the Brazil trade, was next examined I-1
After his examination closed, the House adjourn's!,
at half past twelte o'clock, till to-morrow.

KING CIA ILL I ILSTUAA noN —)1.4.1117 at ate Pubtleticw.

We are still unable to congratulate the pnbfie egi
the formation of-an Administration, and due toi• •
rial interregnum, as it has been called in p.oi .
still cow:. ues. Yesterday was again passed ui ro.
peated interviews between the great heads of parties,
and various rumours were, of course, in circulation
throughout the day. It is now said that some of the
most material difficulties that had hitherto tprt'vested•
an union between Marquis Wituatsunr, Earl Munn,.
and Lord LIVERPOOL, have been removed. Ma
Panics REGENT gave audiences in the course of 11,..
terday to these Noblemen separately ; and also to.
the LORD CUANCALLOR, Lord Simmons, had Lod
MabviLLE ; and it is reported that this day or tG.
rorrow, the public will be. relieved from their.
anxiety by the acceptance of certain Offices, on the '
part of Marquis WZLLESLIY, Mr. CANNIN4, and,
probably, Mr. Hussissox.
Although the above arrangement is that wLicE il
moat 'likely to be confirmed, we think we nava
better discharge our duty, as impartial Jour:l4l4N
than by laying before our Readers, as we did )ester.
