every night within his jurisdiction by numerous bands
of armed robbers, whole proceedings were as regular
as if they were disciplined troops.
The Deputy (M. Minos) desired that the most
energetic measures should be adopted.
He was supported by several Members, and M.
FRANZINI said, that a general plan was under con-
sideration for the organization of a police, to extend
through the whole kingdom, in the nature of the
gendarmerie in France, and that he thought this
would put an end to such disorders.
M. Maya° TELLEz, as Reporter of the Commit-
tee of Finance, asked and obtained leave to read a
proposition, which he thought of consequence ; the
Committee for considering the basis of the alterations
to be made in the Customs, had reduced them to the
three following points:
1. That all the productions of the country which shall be eon-
1.
from one port to another, or to different places in the
kingdom, shall be favoured.
2. That such foreign productions as are similar to dune pro?
duced in the kingdom, shall be subjected to heavy duties et
wholly prohibited; and that foreign productions which supply
the raw materials indispensable to the national manufactures
shall be favoured.
3. With respect to Colonial productions, they shall remain as
they are; till all the Deputies from the Colonies being arrived,
general measures may be adopted to regulate the future corn.

HOAX IN ARLINGTON-STREET, PICCADILLY.-SOMBI
mischievous -persons have been reviving the stale
joke of a hoax amon* the various furnishing trades-
men of the Metropolis, which, from the dull season
of the year, has been very promptly attended to. Va-
rious written orders have been sent to upholsterers,
cabinet-makers, ironmongers, and others, to furnish
different articles for Lord ARBUTHNOT, who, it was
represented, bad taken and was fitting up a town
mansion in Arlington-street, No. 26. Yesterday, and
the day before, the street was visited by great num-
bers of these deluded tradesmen, all in high expecta-
tion of some good order, when, to their great disap-
pointment, they discovered that Lord ARBUTHNOT
had given no orders, nor is there any number beyond
25 in the street.
