EXCHEQUER BILLS.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that the
House should resolve itself into a Committee of Ways and Means
in order to propose resolution for funding an additiohal number
of Exchequer l3igs.
Mr. WHITBREAD wished the business to be postponed.—
He had heard great compk.lnts against the person by whom the
funding of the last millluns of Exchequer Bills was conducted.
He wished to make some observations on this subject to the
I louse, but the lateness of the hour and the thinness of the House
induced him to hope that the consideration of it would be de-
layed.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied, that the
propcsition which he wished to submit to the House did not tend
to screen the officer, but to relieve those who had suffered in
come:pence of his negligence. The Hon. Gentleman might
snake Is 4.servations on the bringing up of the report.
Mr. WHITBREAD said, that if, as he had been told, there
Were parties who, by connivance at fraud, had been entered on
Ihe list of the eight millions, there was no occasion for an addi-
ti fun'aing ot Bachequer Bills, since those parties ought to be
de,-t—Lvt of the undue advantage which they had obtained.
I. NI.WPORT reprobated the proposed measure, as an
-augnittaxion ot an improvident bargain.

711 e Houge rhea resolved itself into a Committee.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated that the
la!! eiumber of Exel:equer Bills funded amounted to eight mil-
lions, By an inaccuracy on the part of the person who had the
management ot the lists, subscriptions to the amount of £311,600
wend take!: in above the sum prescribed. The subscrilvrs to that
amount were consequently struck off. They had applied to Go-
vernment for relief, and it not appearing after the fullest inquiry
that the subscribers of the tight millions had no objection to the
measure he intended to propose, that they should be allowed to
fund Exchequer Bib tc the amount which he had stated.
A re•:olu1on to the above effect was then agreed to, and the
House having been resumed, the report was ordered to be re-
ceived to-morrow.

The ether orders of the day baying been disposed of, the House
adjourned.

This day, in our Front Page, we have laid before
our Readers a regular detail of al, the proceedings in
the arrest of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT froM the morning
of Friday last to yesterday afternoon : other particu-
lars will be found in the proceedings last night, in the
House of Commons.

We have unfeigned satisfaction in stating that the
metropolis is once more in a state •f the most perfect
tranquillity. At the hour at which we closed yester-
day's account, the rain began to pour down in torrents,
which had the effect to drive every person from
the streets—nor have there been any unusual assem-
blages since.

The report circulated last week, that the island of
Heligoland had been taken possession of by a French
force, proves to have been unfounded. The Mary
Ann, in ballast, which left Heligoland on Friday,
reached Yarmouth yesterday morning ; and the
Lady Francis packet, also from Heligoland, with
mails anti passengers, has arrived at Harwich.
By the Lady Francis we have received German
papers to the 30th ult. and Swedish to the 4th instant.
we have also received French papers to the sth, and
Dutch to the 7th instant.

By the French papers it appears that the Imperial
nuptials were attended by eight queens, four of
whom supported the train of the Empress, who is
described as an angel of light and glory. The only
other article worthy of notice in these papers respects
the licences for shipping. Endeavours have been made
to gain an extension of privilege contingent on such
Licences, but they had hitherto proved ineffectual ;
they are :till only conceded in cases where the export
consists to the extent of three quarters of the ton-
nage of Corn, Wine, and Brandy ; and no farther
indulgence is granted as to the commodities of im.
portation, which, it was hoped, would have been left
in some degree to the discretion of the Directors of
the Customs at the respective ports.
By letters from Berlin of the 23d ult. it appears
that a Minister from the Emperor of FRAxcE was ex-
pected there upon a mission of the highest importance.
It w;ts also reported that the Emperor of RUSSIA
would speedily arrive in that city, to accompany his
PRUSSIAN MAJESTY on a journey to Paris.
Three vessels, under American colours, detained
some time ago at Tonningen, are said to have been
condemned as English. Their cargoes consisted of
colonial produce, and are estimated at 700,000 rix-
, dollars.

The following extracts present the only articles
.worthy of notice in the Swedish and German papers :
STOCKHOLM, MARCH 20.
_ _ _

Last Saturday a courier arrived here from our
Ambassador at St. Petersburgh. The French Am-
bassador, General Malls, is expected here on thp last
of this month. It is now resolved that the domains
of the Crown shall be sold. M. Brinkman% our
Envoy at London, has been recalled.

STOCKHOLM ROYAL DECREE.

e, Know all men by these presents, That we,
Charles XIII. having, in the third article of the

Treaty of Peace, eoncladed with the Emperor of
Russia, dated 17th September last, agreed to adopt
such measures as should be regulated by the Treaty,
then about to be entered into between Sweden,
France, and Denmark, for enforcing the continental
system, ordered in our circular of the 27th of Oc-
tober last, that no British vessels or ships of war,
should, after the time therein mentioned, be permit-
ted to enter our ports ; and further, in the third
article of the treaty with the Emperor of France, of
date the 6th of January last, having fully and in every
respect acceded to the Continental system, bound our-
selves to shut our ports against the trade of Great Bri-
tain, and not permit the importation of English goods
or Manufactures of whatever description, or in what-
soever vessel the same might arrive. And whereas,
having relinquished the permission we reserved to our-
selves in the treaty with his Majesty the Emperor of
Russia, of importing Colonial produce, we now only
retain to ourselves the power to import Salt, sufficient
for the consumption of our Kingdom. Further, to
fulfil the Treaties with the said powers we hereby
graciously command, that on and after the 24th of
April next, no Goods shall be imported neither on
paying theduties nor in transitu,which belong to Great
Britain and Ireland, the colonies, &c.under the influence
of the British Government, or goods of any descrip-
tion whatsoever, loaded in vessels from Great Britain
or any of her dependencies, be admitted into our ports;
and that all vessels, under whatsoever flag, which
shall be proved to carry such goods as are not fur-
nished with certificates and documents to certify the
origin and full particulars of their cargoes from their
ports of lading, shall, when they arrive in our har-
bours, be ordered off; save and except such vessels as
are solely laden with salt, the importation of which
from all foreign countries we permit, in vessels not
belonging to his Britannic Majesty or his subjects.

" For the full execution of our decree, we com-
mand all officers and persons in our service to exert
their utmost vigilance in strictly examining the pa-
pers, certificates, and documents of all vessels that
may arrive, agreeable to the gracious•separate com-
mand we on this subject shall or may issue.

" Given at our Court of Stockholm, &c."
TRIEST, MARCH I°.

It is understood that the whole of Istria, late a de-
partment of the Kingdom of Italy, will be annexed to
the Illyrian provinces. In consequence of this, Triest
will become the capital of the two Illyrias, and the
seat of all the chief authorities. Illyria will now ob-
tain such an uninterrupted track of sea coast as shall
give it a name among the maritime powers.

CONSTANTINOPLE, FEB. I.:.

To-day some changes have taken place the Ad-
miralty. The Capitan Pacha, and several other
Officers of the Marine, have been displ.tc.d. The
post of Capital,. Pacha has been given to Fuisler Paclia,
Lieutenant of die Grand Vizier.

Private letters from New York, of the 14th ult.
received at Liverpool, state, that Mean's Bill had
not passed the Senate at the date of the late ad vices
from Washington. The Session of Congress, which usu-
ally terminates at the beginning of April, was not to be
closed until the return of the John Adams frigate, in
order that the Legislature might assist in the measures
to be adopted by the Executive Government. It was
fully expected that perfect harmonywould be restored be-
tween Great Britain and the United States. We under-
stand that as soon as Mr. LEE, who has been sent
with dispatches from Mr. PINCKNEY to General ARM-
STRONG, shall arrive at Paris, that Minister will quit
the Court of France to proceed to America.

Letters from Gallicia have been received to the
date of the 31st ult. The French still continued
without the boundaries of that province.
Yesterday the dispatches by the David Scott, Ci-
rencester, Preson, Phoenix, Sovereign, Indus, Ann,
and Sir Wiiliam Bensley, were finally closed at the
East-India House, and delivered to their respective
Pursers.

The Oxford Blues, after the business of yesterday,
were quartered in the King's Mews, Charing cross.

The Constables of Westminster were assembled at
the Axe and Gate, in Downing-street, to protect the
inhabitants in case their aid should be required.—The
Westminster Volunteers were assembled in the King's
Mews. The St. Margaret's and St. John's Volun-
teers held their head-quarters within the gates of the
New Sessions House, in the Abbey church-yard.
The Coldstream regiment of the Guards were un-
der orders, and each man was furnished with thirty
rounds of ball-cartridges. Several military parties
paraded the streets to a late hour ; and the cannon in
St. James's Park from Woolwich were loaded with
six•pound balls ; but happily all was quiet.
Captain IDWARD Bartz,ow, of the Horse Artillery,
has the command of the field-pieces, in St. James's-
square.

Amongst other troons, which have been ordered in
the vicinity and suburbs of London, the North York
Militia Regiment marched on Sunday from Chatham
to Gravesend, where they embarked at twelve o'clock
at night, and got under arms at three o'clock yester-
day morning on Tower-hill, where they remained
till eleven o'clock, whin they were marched into the
New Mint, where they remain till further orders.
The Cornwall Regiment of Militia was marched
into Kentish town, and quastered con the inhabitants;
none of the public houses hi td less than eighteen bil-
Jetted on them. The Assembly-how, had eighty.
In the course of half -an hour afterwards there was
not a loaf to be had for love or money.
The South Gloucester Militia from Brighton, and
the 51st regiment from Horsham,: anon :heir march
for London. The 52d, and part of the 95th Rifie
Corps, are arrivfd it, the unighbou.thpod.
