TRIAL BY BATTLq ABOLITION BILL.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL postponed the considert:nt
of the Report on this subject till Wednesday next
SCOTCH BURUHs.

Mr. ABETICROMBY said that he had a P,titiin to p-rte`t
from the Gnildry of Edinburgh, which pra:-..d fora Itefn:ri ..1
the present Constitution of Scotch Burghs. Ile should not :.:. t•
said any thing on that question previously to his bringing on to
own motion, had it not been for the numercus signatnre. vin '
were attached to the Petition which he had to present, fee t'.e
conspicuoua statement which the Petitioners made in it of tt.t
'evils under which they laboured, and for the firm and must :
tional manner in which they expressed :heir hopes of obtairing
redress from the justice of Parliament. They complained of the
self-election of the Members of the different Corporatica.s,whi:i
was an evil that the House ought immediately to remedy; inis-
much as, by the law of Scotland, all the Burgesses were ropes-
sible for the debts contracted by a Magistracy, of whizh dul
did not elect a single member. This was a serious barJJi'P.
because many Boroughs had funds, which were only just tquai
to their expenditure, and others had an expeneitur: greater tam
their funds. The Petitioners had been accused of favourinj wad
and visionary schemes of reform ; they stated that this &teen-
tion was false and that it was known to be so by those ''
urged it. They also added, thit if they had been the disloyal
subjects which they had been asserted to be, they could nat have
wished for any thing better than to foment the irritation which
prevailed. The Government never had an easier opportunity
of conciliating a large number of its subjects by the mere exer-
cise of common sense and common justice than it had on the
present occasion. All the Petitioners asked for was a re.ief frem
their present grievances; they were, however, of ori&on, that
the Bill which the Lord Advocate had Introduced on the sub-
ject, was more calculated to aggravate than to relieve their ir•
' juries. He should have thought that the knowledge of all these
grounds of complaint would have made the illinistry bring fir-
ward a well-disested plan to remove them. They bad not ibtze
so; and by failing to do so, had been deficient in duty to the
country. He supposed that the Executive would in this cud
attempt, as it had done in many others, to throw All the respon-
sibility on the Legislature. ,
After a few observations from Lord A. Mamma:, the Pet;-
don was laid on the table.
Lord A. HAMILTON presented two Petitions from
towns In Scotland, praying for a Reform in the Scotch Burgts.

ntAmE-WORK KNITTERS.
."Mr. MANSFIELD moved' for the appointment cf, a
Mmosittee to inquire into the grievances complained of ,! •
Frame-stork-knitters of Leicestershire, and to report upon
sante.----Mr. PARES seconded the Motion.
Mr. HUME expressed his surprise that the I,hject whi.
Honourable Mover had in view had not hem distincti-
to the House. Though be did not intend to oppoae th.t.• 13
into a Committee, he thought that the granting of it would I,'
spreading a delusion among the Petitioners, as they wou!il e
pect results from it which it would be impossible to realize.
A' new Musses observed, that the Honourable Geuticolo
who hid spoken last had brought forward an objection which it
would have been better to have deferred till they had rt, i=ts
the Comrtittee. The state of distress was so great arttnrE the
petitioners, that unless some relief was granted them by Parli.h
anent, effecu would ensue which the House would have orii•
don to deplore. Ills Majesty's Ministers ought long sirce to
have granted assistance to these poor people--if they word,: nGli
it was the duty of these who represented them in Parliania tj
use their influence to obtain it for them.
Mr. MANSFELD said, that if he had refrained from p:3';':

recollected, no notice was talcen lathe official bul-
__' that Sitting. The details are however so
obscure, that all we can gather from them, as to the
of the proposition is, that it produced a great
confusion, and was ultimately got rid of by
dispensing power of the Chair. " A Noble Peer

His proposition was received with violent re'
lotions. Interrupted at every instant, he prayed
Chamber to consent to hear him. The Pant-

Some maintained that the orator did not de-
his proposition so much as he ought ; others
ke went too far ; some that he was too prolix ;
that he was too laconic. Some interrupted,
move that he ought not to he interrupted ; and
to pro'e that he ought not to be heard. The
was at last called upon to state the object of

inicntary silence, he tried in vain to explain
Al to the Chamber. New reclamations rose on
inutility and danger of the motion, which, in
opinions of some Members, amounted to a kind
insure of acts belonging essentially to the Royal
prerogative. The PRESIDENT concurred in this opi-
and said he could not put. the question. The
'her accordingly adjourned."
, Mkt:AULT DE ST. JEAN D'ANGELY arrived at

immediately after his arrival, attacked with a vis-

The Paris Papers of Saturday also arrived at a late
. this forenoon.
On Friday the IC txc received at his apartments a
Deputation from Bourdeaux, of which Count Lxt►rtl,
LAINE, and M. RayEz, made part, which was
rirged with presenting the homage of that city to

Entry into it of the Duke of ANGOULEME, op the

The Resolution of the Chamber of Peers on the
Election Law was to be officially communicated to
President of the Chamber of Deputies on Satur-
; but there was to be no public meeting of the
>uties sooner than Monday or Tuesday, when the
tesident would lay before the Chamber the cona-
taication which had been made to him.
General Gaouctly is said to have obtained leave
return to France.
The QUEEN Of SWEDEN, who has been for some
ime rciiding in Paris, is now about to proceed to
tockholm.
The Persian Ambassador, who is at present at
'aris, on his way to London, had or. Friday morning
audience of the Minis ter of Foreign Affairs. The
tenna Journals complain, that his Excellency has
left the most brilliant, marks of his liberality in
that capital—he ordered to be distributed Along
domestics of the Court, and tlice.e of Prince MET..
'LIMIER, the sum of 100 florins ir. papfr. The
.ulic Councillor, HAMMER, who rtecompasied him
every where during his stay at Vienna, received as
the reward of his services a lean horse, and one of
his Excellency's greasy castoff shawls !
The wits of Vienna, for there are wits there as well
elsewhere, have remarked, that if the horse was
lean, the shawl at lea.t was fat enough. The Cour-
tiers of Vienna appear not to have taken into account
the Oriental usage, according to which Ambassadors
-tonsider that they have a right to be entertained, free
of expense, by all those Sovereigns to whtln they
have any mission to fulfil.
Adv ices from Corfu state, that the investiture of

A Dutch Mail brought us, this morning, Pap
and Letters to the 13th instant. They present nothing
new respecting the Legislative Bodies, having been
anticipated by a late Flanders Mail. The following
are extracts relating to other matters :
ROME, FEBRUARY Ho.
The Ex-King of Holland now lives here in the
greatest retirement, and is wholly engaged with the
education of his son. His sister the Princess Bor-
ghese, on the other hand, lives in great splendour.
The Marquis of Douglas, who visited Bonaparte in
Elba, and asked for his portrait, visits her often.
COBLENTZ, MARCH 5.
It is now five years since a Proclamation was
issued by Mr. Justus Gruner, at that time Governor-
General ; in which it is said—" Inhabitants of the
Middle Rhine ! you are again become Germans. free
and happy. The Regie (excise or Government's ma;
Inopoly) of salt and tobacco; the Customs, the droll:
reunis, the duties on inheritance, all these imposts are
suppressed ; cunning, espionage, secret denuncattons+
will no longer persecute you. You will dwell with.
security in your houses and cottages, and will freely
exercise your industry."
It was thus that Mr. Gruner expressed himself, in
1814, in the name of the Allied Powers. Acit was
then Carnival time, the young. people made an al is
gorical representation of the. interment of the,inw,
pressed Duties; but it seems that some inadvatopt
was committed at this interment, for several of the
defunct have come to life again.
