That the Inanbitants of this parish, containing a popula-

tures • that having experienced great difficulties during the war
recently sermioated„ they began to nntiripete better times, from
peace, fr as diminhhed taxation, anal the cheapness of brilvi;
and t.at the increase, or continuance, of those benefits can

erimi.t..lrture.„ by nogotenting the home eowtottiptitto, and by
enabling them to roweled with foreign nntione, wbase food is

t That this Yestly tire convinced that ibis cheapness of the
Iseetemsrieh of life. which they canider to he vitally importa.it,
will be greatly •dimitihbetl by any airmen., which tewl to in-
mew. the obstructions to a free trade in Corn—end especially
that additional rer.trlrtions on the importation of that emetstiali
article will operate this fatal evil by dinniniAing the fiireigo

3. That although this Vestry desire the agricallunti as well
as the moinufacturing prosperity of their country—and consider
them as in-eparately cohnected—they cannot but rogaril the
m moires propir.Pri in Parliament for hicrearng the obstacles to
the free importatiou of Whe.t as measures calculated to produce
calamities to themselves, prejudice to farmers, and misery to
the state.
4. That this Vestry appr,hend tbst such measures can alone
originate with proprietuni of land desirous to perpetuate rents
uttnaturalli tatiroented by long protracted wars; hut for-viral,
that their decrease in peace •ho•ild have !tern foreseen, and for.

fur on apparent and illiesory advantage, Gary will perpetuate
in peace Mr eirds of war, and inflict distresses far greater than
even the di.i oolinuance of the Properly Tat can compensate

5. That, to this Veltry, theargnmeMa for Acts so permanently

evil. threatened from the a, ttl.drawment of capital from acri

The only fresh ne‘ts we have from the Continent
to.day, is conveyed to us through the medium of
French Papers, which have come to hand to the
26th ult. and some more Frankfort and Brussels
Journals. An article from Paris of the 25th says,
Lord CASTLEREAGH arrived in that city on the 22d,
and had an audience of the KING ; but a doubt is
expressed as to the accuracy of this statement. It
appears, however, from the Vienna letters in the
Brussels Papers, that his Lordship took leave of the
Austrian Court on the evening of the 12th. It
was thought that all the regulations relative to the
different pretensions would he decided next day (the

each hand," in order to furnish the British Diploma-

Very active negotiations, say the accounts, are ob-
