MOTION OF INQUIRY.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE wished to be informed, whe-
ther the Papers intended by Ministers to be laid before the House
referred to the whole campaign, or only to parts of it
The Earl of LIVERPOOL said the Papers were those alluded
to in his M.jesty's Speech, and were confined to the Expedition
to the Scheldt. They would probably be laid on the Table by
Monday, though it might be Tuesday or Wednesday.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE then gave notice, for Thurs-
day, of a Motion of Inquiry relative to the Campaign.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL wished to know whether the Noble
Lord's Motion referred generally to the whole Campaign, or was
confined to the Expedition to the Scheldt?
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said he should be able to state
his Motion more particularly when he had seen the Papers which
it was intended to lay upon the Table.
The Lords were ordered to be summoned for Thursday,
Adjourned till to-morrow (this day).

Yesterday His MAJESTY, by the advice of
.the
ARCIIBLSHOP of CANTERBURY and the Council, was
pleased to order a solemn Fast to be observed through-
out England and Ireland on the 28th of February,
and throughout Scotland on the Ist day of March.
His Grace at the same time received His MAJESTY'S
commands to prepare Forms of Prayer accordingly.

The arrival of the vessels at Liverpool from Ame-
rica, mentioned in the STAR of yesterday, caused
American produce to fall considerably in price at that
port. The American Bill, of which we yesterday
gave an extract, amounts simply to this :—The Non-
intercourse Act has been repealed by Congress, and the
Non-importation Act substituted for it—That is, Atne-
rica may export, but cannot import from Britain or
from France. In other words, America has expe-
rienced, like France, the evils resulting from a sys-
tem which locked up at home the produce of her own
soil, and like France on a late occasion, imagines
that she has thus found out the means of securing a
British market for their consumption, while she yet
endeavours to fetter the commerce of England !

It is however the opinion of many, that the new
system has been adopted with the view of provoking
retaliation on the part of our Government, which
might be expected to order all American vessels
bound to France, &c. to be captured and brought
into our ports, and thus to furnish them with a plau-
sible pretext kr declaring war against this country.
But even this pretext will, it is thought be done away,
as it is expected that Government will in a short time
prohibit American vessels from entering British ports.
It is to be hoped, however, that before such a measure
is resorted to, time will be allowed to the British
commercial Agents in America to avail them-
selves of the opportunity afforded to them by the new
regulation to make remittances to their principals in
this country.

The following is the Official Document, published
in India, announcing the termination of hostilities be-
tween the Company's Officers and the Government
of that country :

GENERAL ORDERS BY THE HONOURABLE THE GOVERNOR

IN COUNCIL.

A report has been received by the Governor in
Council, from the Officer commasding in Mysore,
stating, that the troops which composed the garrison
bf Seringapatam surrendered at discretion on the 23d
instant, delivered up their arms and proceeded to the
stations in Mysore allotted for their residence. It has
been ascertained that the native troops, which pro-
ceeded from Chittledroog, were entirely ignorant of
the real designs of their officers, and marched under
an impression, produced by their officers, that his
Highness the Rajah of Mysore, had commenced hos-
tilities against the British Government, and attacked
