STATFSMAN.

~~

On our re-admission to the Gallery, we found
Mr. WAT.LACE on tiq legs, who obtained leave
to bring a Bill to re-transfer a part of the debt of
the Fast India Company from India to England.
Mr. PARKER COKE obtained leave, and after.
wards brought in a Bitl for preventing Frauds and
Abuses on Frame Work Knitting Manufacturers, in
the payment of the persons employed by them.—lt

time oh Moijay.
The IfighiNy Bill went through& Committee.
The other Orders of the Day were then disposed'
of, and the House adjourned.

Mr. HOWORTII, in rising to move for an Ac.'
count of the State of the Debt of the East India Coln..'
Deny, observed, that the debt could not be cousider*
ed a. norely an Indian debt, as long as the Company
stated that they could not go on paying the claims
upon them in this country without the assistance of,
Parliament. It mast, on the contrary, be presumed
to be a debt for which this country was liable. He
concluded by moving for an Account of the Amount
of all Loans made by the CoMpany in from Ist
May, 1798, to 14th May, 1806, distinguishing what
part of the same bed been paid off, what part had.
been commuted, and what part was now outstanding,
demandable in England.
Mr. WALLACE had no objection to the motion,
which was accordingly- agreed to.
SUPPLY.
Mr. LUSHINGTON brought up the Report of
the Committee of Supply.
A conversation took place on the Resolution for
granting a compehsation to the' Commissioners for
reviewing the Constitution of the Island of Jersey,
in which Mr. Whitbread, Mr. Ahercromby, Sir S.
Romilly, Mr. Vansittart, and Mr. Wharton took a
pert, when the Resolution was agreed to.
Mr. BA.N KPS objected to the Resolution grabting
a per oentage on the Post-Office Revenue to Mr.
Palper.
Mr. VANSITTART justified his conduct in giving
the official assent of Government to Mr. Palmer's
till, by stating that be merely followed the example
of his Oredocessor.
Mr. -W. SMITH supported the resolution, insist-
ing that the remuneration it contaiutd was a mere
act of justice.
Sir F. BURDETT followed on the same side, and
argued, that had the contract between Mr. Palmer
and the Administration of Mr. Pitt been as agreement
between man anti mac, the claim . now sought could
have been legally euforced. quoted the opinions
of Lord Erskine, Sir 3. Mansfield, Mr. Justice
Gibbs, and Mr. Adam, to prove that the dematid
was lawful, and contended, that although the con.
duct of Mil. Palmer had not been entirely justifiable,
yet, that as the public had received all the benefit
that cool/3 be derived from his plan, he ought to re-
ceive an adequate.compensation.
Sir 'l'. PLOIIER (Solicitor-General) asserted the
contrary, and at much length detailed the various
facts already before the public, particularly dwelling
on some suppostid misconduct of Mr. Palmer. Ilia
appointment to the office of Comptroller of the Poet
Office, which was the reward of his services, was
made merely darante bene placito; and in conse—
quence of misconduct he had been discharged. He'i
would not conseut that a sum of more than 78,0001.'
coupled with a yearly income of 9 or 10,0001. should,
ander all the circumstances, be withdrawn from the
public purse.
Sir P. BURDETT explained.
Mr. WHITBREAD, with much real, replied to.
Sir Thomas Plomer, recommending that tho House
should rather follow the opinions of the four eminent
lawyers named, than that. of the present Solicitor
General.
After a short speech from Mr. LONG, a division

THE TOULON FLEET.
By the following extract of a letter from Paris,
received this forenoon by a Gentleman in the City, it
will be seen that the late report, as to thi capture of
four sail of the line off Toulon by our fleet, did net I
II
rest altogether on speculation. Whet; official ae-
counts are received from our squadron, it may, per-
Laps, be found that the result has been more serious I
to the enemy) than the writer of the letter is willing
to achnit :
" PARIS, Norm SI
" Oar Toulon fleet has been oat again to muncenvre. A di-
vision of four sail of the lime, and the frigate Amelia, sailed
from that port on the 4d of Jose, under the command of Capt.
Sesi sag those four ships were followed by nine others
and omen frigates, under the command of Admiral Esteem.
Our fleet remained at sea for two days in the present* of the
English fleet of 17 sail and several frigates. Our Admiral ta-
u aye kept the ndvantage of the wind, and neared the enemy se-
veral times, keeping them constantly in cheek, without engaging
in any stair that wool& have been so unequal. The wiled hoeing
abated on the-Sd, the squadron returned to its anchorage."

Paris Papers reached town last night to the 21st
Instant, by which it appears that BONAPARTE arrived
at Dantzie on the 7th instant. His IMPERIAL MA-
JESTY was there •n the 11th; and some accounts
state, that he was about to proceed to Osterode, while
others mention Konigsberg. as the place of bis dad-
nation. The King of NAPLES bad Mso . reached
Dantaic. Every circumstance connected with this
journey of Nsrotzon, tends to confirm the opinion
we have frequently given—that tbere will be no hos-
tilities in the North.. When an appeal to arms was
formerly determined on, the movements of the French

Arconnts brought by an Anholt Afar which also
nrrived last night, contradict the report in the last
Fiend' Papers, as to the death of the Rugtian Mi-
nister, Count ROMANZ ow. We have given extracts
from the French and German Papers is another co.
lama.

Since writing the above, another Anholt Mail has
arrived with accounts from Gottenburgh to the 10th
instant. The fallowing is the only extract from the
Papers brought by this conveyance desev sing notice :
GOTTLNBUIV;iI, JCRs 9.

The convoy, consisting of upwards of 100 *Sips, yesterday
proceeded for the Baltic, escorted by his Majesty's ships Cressy,
Crescent, and Briseus. A convoy from Leith yesterday arrived
under protection of his Majesty's sloop Snake. Ships, with co-
lonial produce, are admitted into any of the Runiaa ports, pro-
vided they are half laden with rice, and only pay half the conti-
nental duties.

the report, whirh a few days ago prevailed re-
specting a hostile disposition on the part of Turkey
tisvaids France and her Allies, turns out, as we
thought it would, to be unfounded. A running ship
from Malta, which left that island on the 13th ult.
has brought accounts that advices had arrived there,
in twelve days, from Constantinople, stating, that
the French interest continued to prevail at the Porta
and that there was no prospect whatever of ptaa
between the Russians and Turks.

Last night, in the House of Commons, Mr. Ho-
t western, after several pointed remarks on the East
India Company Loans, concluded by moving—" That
there be laid before the House an Account of all Sums
raised by way of Loan, at the different Presidencies
in India, by the Fast India Company, from the Ist
of May, 1798, to the 14th May, 1608, on the con-
dition of being paid by bills drawable on England,
distinguishing the Sums paid off, transferred, out-
standing, Bcc."-We consider this motion extremely
proper; and had we been told some weeks ego, that
any Minister of this country, notwithstanding the
general distress and discontent that now prevails,
would include in the Loan for this year, two millions
and a half of money, to be given to a mendicant
jobbing Company, whose wretched monopoly bas.!
been one of the principal causes of our pre.
sent national calamity, we should not have his&
fated one moment in pronouncing the measure
not ,only improbable, but even impossible..
Have the representatives of the ps4lple a constitu-
tional right to saddle the community at large with an
additional debt of two millions and a half, on aocount
of a Company that already owes to this country be-
tween thirty end forty millions .sterUsig ? Are the
taxes, that are to be imposed on the community, to
meet the interest of this sum, to be kept separate and

litical aspect another form, and to erect a new
kingdom, whereby he map be enabled to reward
some of his favourite Lieutenant!, or revive some i
ancient State which had been stript of its name and
its glory by a former Monarch. But whatever may
be his real intentions as to this, we never entertained
any doubt that NApOLEON had principally in view, by
his march to the North, the efiforcement of his anti-
commercial decrees against this country ; and that the
great body of troops he had transported thither, wai
for the purpose of overawing such of those Powers
as had not hitherto fully complied with hit wishes
on that subject; and who must hate learned, from
expenseoe, sufficient to convince them, that there is
no alternative betwixt implicit obedience to Nato-
LEON's mandates, and expulsion from a throne.—
[We are no doubt told that BONAPAarE cannot sac-.
, ceed in this expedition, first, because the Russians
and Swedes are inimical towards him, and possess
strength enough to resint his will ; and secondly, be-
cause the French soldiers are at present dying so fast
' for want of provisions, that BONAPARTE will soon
be compelled to send them back to France. As to
. the first of these reasons, we have already so re-
peatedly shown its falsity, that it is unnecessary
for us again to enter on its refutation. With regard
to the alleged irnrciry of provisions, this is utterly
inconsistent with the coo! a,,(1 seemi:n'y tardy move-
ments of liovaesteve, who, if he f , t any difficulty
in itipli.sing his army with hecessari.-s, would not
hesitate in striking the blow by which this woad be
instantly removed. His attachment to his soldiers,
the companions of his innumerable victories, and td
authors of his ,:)leedid fortune and Imperial dignity,
entirely precludes the idea of his sacrificing their lives
unaecessarily.--ilesides, it wilt be seen by the
French Papers, that " bread abounds" in the Em-
pile. It Can never be supposed, therefore, while
the interior of Frence is abundantly furnished,
that the Frekeh Emperor will overlook a source
whence he can draw whatever supplies his army may
i be in want of.

At a late hour last night, Mr. Coca brought in e.
Bill for regulating the Framework Knitting Trade;
and for prevelting tie manufacture of ceit4itf frau-
dulent articles in that breach. Th, Motion was se-
conded by Mr. JOHN Satyrs; and haring been put
and agreed to, the Bill was ordered to be brought
up fora second reading en Monday next.

We are happy to find that Sir SLMCEL Rositttit
Ihas at length bro"ght forward his motion respecting
the abuses in Lincoln Castle, and have no doubt
the most beneficial effects will result from the entre; ry
which is to take place by the appointment of a Select
I Committee. The facts which have already been
stated by Sr S. ROMILLY and Mr. BROUGHAM re.
tyecting the treatment of Pi isoners in Lincoln Gaol,
are such as to prove the necessity of a rigid i,ivestiga.
tion, and it is to be hoped that it may lead to a ge.
nerd enquiry of Prison abuses throughout the king.
dom. We believe the public are, in a great measure,
indebted to the perseverance of Mr. FINVERTY for
the correction of any malpractices in Lincoln Castle,
and we are glad to find that his liberation is near at
band.

The only remaining difficulty obstructing tho im-
mediate shipments for the United Stat.s, in ?ons.,-
quence of the late Proclamation revokit% the Orders
in Council, was yesterday removed by the coif ssfoil
of the Board of Trade. We are informed that Li••
cences will forthwith be granted to American ships
destined from hence to the Republic, and freighted '
with 13: :fish manufactures in the nature eta guarantee,
or sf! conduct against capture by British cruisers.
These Licences are to be valid, for such protection,.
w,liether the property be British or American.
The placability which the Household Ministers
have shows in yielding all the gr2at political ques-
tions which they so obstinately r.sisted b.•fore,.rr ores
that they were selected by the Advi-...rs of the C tart
with great judgment for their sp. cific pur, o ;es. ,+:u.•
men with such condescension for their opponents,
must of course be very complaisant to their friends;
and we beHese that in this facility consiated their
chief recommendation to °dice.

We have always been given to understand that
there were only Seven Wonders of the World ; the
unparalleled excellence, however, of the new Panto-
mime at the Surrey Theatre, has given rise to a doubt
whether it might not justly be entitled to the dello:
minatioe of an Eighth Wonder. Twenty entirely
new scenes, and one or two mechanical exhibitions,
each so managed, that the usual intervention of un-
in!eresting scones, for preparation, are disreosrd

and accounts for the equally rn pi ecedented ave. IL*,
which crowd the Theatre nightly.
