THE STATESit IN.'

LONDON:

num. MARCH 12, 1819.

The affairs of Fresco are looked le with greet ear-
nestness and ansiety, bat the Papers of Sunday end
Monday Wit contain nettling which an satisfy cu.
tipsily. Mach lee. is said in them regarding the late
estraordinary creation if Peers than might have been
Impeded ; the reason is, that the very Ultras, who
would wish to imp►ll the King to measures beyond
what their Constitutional Charter would trident,
are nevertheless desirous to avoid ripening his Me•
jesty to public censure fur any thing he may do. The
Liberates, on the other hand, and the majority of
whet may be called the popular party, regard the
extraordinary act with comp' y, w being a check
to what was obviates!, a growing power in the Peers,
and among the higher Aristocracy, to keep down the
spirit of freedom, es hes been manifested in various
ways, and especially by the ',nosier Elections.
There bee a circemetence reached us by a private
hand, which we think may be correcteand that is, that
M. Lamcifononosade s p►opnsitlen,of which the per.
port was, that the Peers should espress their die-
saiisfiction to the King at the sodden increase of their
body. The proposition was got rid of by a pro.
cedere more tranquil theft could have beers espeet•
ed. The Minority rose with ghosts of Vitsele Kais
and left the hall, carrying with them others, who
might have been inclined to dipped the preposition.
Th.liing held his easel Covet on Sunday, which it is
remarked in one of the Journals. 0844 llistftnelt other.,
attended by the Duke of ORLILANS mod the Prince de
TALLivaAnn. Not a word of illossisca or the
Princely Doke. !!! _ _

The Central Committee of the Chamber of Depu-
ties, charged with Oho elimination of the Project
respecting tobacco, are Plated to have negatived the
•onopoly in that article by a majority of 6vo to foe,.
The proceedings before t►e Court of Assizes against
CANTILLON and &I ARIKIT, areered of attempting to
amossinate the Doke of Wm.:Amnon, are to cogs.
mime the sth of April.

A Project for a new system of spoliation of the
Natioasi Goarrls of France will, it is said, shortly be
presented ►o the Climber of Deputies.

CORRUPT INFLUENCE..

GRADY CROW on lest night io the House of Cow.
mom, awl ',ideate called to the her. Mr.
CARRII SNYTU was esewined, whom testimony was
of that starore, that it was not deemed proper to sof.
fer it to go into public till that which should be
broeght forward to rebut it could be published
Mr. STUART WORTLty, therefore, pee notice, that
If any of the Journals presumed to publish any part
of the eseminotion till the whole was concluded, he
should bring the matter before the House. We do
oast agree with the lion. Member for Boreiney 'boot
the expediency of this keeping silence. Bat unsay
persons prefer sending the poises and antidote lets
the world together.

If any circumstance whatever could awaken our
torpid Ministers to a sense of the distressed condi-
tion of this once lioerishing kingdom, the various
and multiplied Petitions •post the subject of the
Our. Dtrrits woeld do it. The proceeding already
had upon this tender subject, show in the most one.
quivocal manner the feverish disposition of the
wboie manufacturing class, which consume that sr.
tide in abundance. The poor man also, who can only
purchase it by the perk and lislf.peck, is looking with
en
speakable awaiety to the possibility of saving one
single penny on his miserable little supply. If he
knew also the nature of the origin of the Doty on the
Coals consumed in and gear London, that it was laid
on by the profligacy end libertinage of CRARLEs 11. es

which ha had sit, and created them all Duch ),
he would be still mere indignant. The late Doke of

unpopular on account of It, he odd the grant to Go-
