! The departure of a friend for London altods me
an opportunity of communicating to you the din.

Is it possible that the English, so generous in the
onset, should now be privy and accessary to the pre.
Sent evilt inflicted upon France? Is it possible that
from a commercial spirit I he English calculate upon the
durability of the throne of the Botiitnoms? Is it pot,

as it was in their power, prevented the blood of the
Protestants from being shed in torrents, accompaniiti
with all the refined cruelty of barbarians, and this
by the orders of tyrants? And can England still

he a free country ? By the manner in which she
looks upon the atrocious conduct of her Allies, she
appeals to have lost her freedom, or, iwrinips, she is
waiting for their departure from France to show her
Ireal and beneficent intentions. It is impossible toe:.

we, in short, to reduce our faculties to a state of
imbecility, and unlearn every thing which 'initial,

`cursed again with convents and lying Priests? It
must not be, we will spill the last drop c(
blood, if necessary, to put a stop to these direful ca.

period of Louts XI V. and the revocation of the
Edict of Nantes, and should calculate upon the evils
which such a bigotted profeisiou of faith may brier

MANUFACTURES,

Sir ROBERT PEEL called the attention of the
louse to the expediency of some legislative regula-
tion, for the purpose of restricting the employment
of young children in manufacturing labour. It was
well known that a bad practice had prevailed of con-
demning children whose years and strength did not
admit of it, to .the drudgery of occupations often
severe and sometimes unhealthy. What he was dis-
posed to recommend was a regulation that no chil-
dren should be so employed under the age of ten
years, either as apprentices or otherwise, and that
the duration of their labour should be limited to
twelve hours and an half per diem, including the
time for education and meals, which would leave ten
hours for laborious employment. The accounts he
had recently seen shower) that it was not so mach the
hardship as tAe duration of the labour which bad
produced mischievous effects on the health of the
tising generation. It was to be lamented, hOwever,
hat the • inspectors appointed Wider a late Act had

EAST INDIA SHIPPING.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
having moved the Order of the Day for the House
resolving itself into a Committee on this Bill,
Mr. Alderman ATKINS rose to oppbae the
Speaker's leaving the Chair. lie conceived, that
the effect of this Bill would be to transfer ship.
building from the River Thames to India. In such
ease, what were to become of the great establish-
ments on the Thames, aunt of the thousands of ship-
wrights and artisans employed there ? Much the
greater proportion of the large ships, formerly built
in the River Thames, were intended to he employed
in the commerce of India ; but if the Company, be-
sides their monopoly of the trade to Chine, were
permitted to carry on all that trade in India-built
ships, he enticeired that the business of ship-beild-
ing in the Thame:„ and the immense establishments
existing for that purpose, would be completely an.
nihilated. Since the Company had begun to build
• ships in India, the number built in the Thames did
not exceed two in a year, whereas it formerly;
amounted to seven. Independeet of the other ad ff
-
vantages of the trade of Ship-building centring in
this country, it should be recollected that in very
critical times, when the navies of France, Spain, and
Holland were coalesced against the country, no less
than fourteen large Indiamen, tunny of which were
brought into the line, were transferred to the ser- 1
vice of Government. This could never have taken
place if the docks for building those ships had then
been in India, instead of England. In case of a
long peace following the present war, how were the
numbers of men now employed at the Dock-yards 1
to find work, if the commercial marine should not 1
be able to find employment for those who were no
longer necessary to our military marine
Mr. WALLACE conceived that the object of this
Bill had been .very generally misunderstood. It
was rather extraordinary that the ship-builders, in I
their Petition against it, still statid the ill conse-
quences which would result from India built ships
being entitled to all the advantages of a British re-
gister ; when they had, by their deputies, several
conferences with Ministers 'upon the subject, and
could not avoid knowing, that one of the objects of
this Bill was to prevent the sate of such ships, or
their being admitted in the general competition of
trade. So far from giving theludia-built ships the
full advantage of a British register, this was a re-
straining Bill, which did not permit them to be
em-
pioyed in any other trade but that of India, and from
tudia to-this eoutitry. 'lt bad been said that this
London, England, 1815-06-07

cured the constantly increasing calamities which af-
fected the agricultural interest.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
admitted, that a revision of this matter was desirable,
but t!tie present proposition might be dangerous. It
might be advisable to try an experiment to a small
scale, such as taking one Instead of five per cent.—
Ile agreed in the propriety of encouraging the growth
of our n.• n wool.

Mr. D. GIDDY was anxious to see the proper de.
gree of encouragement applied to the growth of wool,
although he wos aware that the cotten trade must
necessarily interfere with it. It nasto be regretted
11 at we had no public wool-market, and that the
laws threw so many obstacles in the way of the tran-
sit and coasting trade.

Sir 11. PARNELL approved of the object of the
motion, but recommended the withdrawing it for the
present.
M. J. P. GRANT was of opinion that the wool
trade ought at least to he put on an equal footing
with every othet branch of trade. As an article of
revenue, the auction duty on the sale of wool pro•
(laced nothing, and could, therefore, he maintained
only on some principle of real or supposed commer-
cial footing. It stood before the House as a mere
matter of regulation, and lie was happy to find from
the liberal views expressed by the Right Ilon. Gen-
tleman (the Chancellor of the Exchequer), that there,
was now ground for looking to the entire abrogation
of those laws relating to the wool trade which were a
disgrace to the legislation of the country.
Mr. H. SUMNER. was surprised that the atten-
tion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer had not long
since been applied to this important subject.
Lord LASCELLES said a few words, the import
of which we could not collect.

Mr. ROSE recommended the most ample delibern.
lion previous to any legislative interference with the
laws in quention.

Mr. WESTERN thought hi; motion had been in
some degree misconceived. He had proposed no
measure at all connected with the laws relating to
the exportation of British wool; its•object was spe-
cilifilly confined to the auction duty.
The CHANCELLOR. of the EXCHEQUER ex-
pla:ned ; and after some farther conversation, the
motion was agreed to, and the House resolved itself
into a Committee on the Acts in question.
' A Resolution was then agreed to, that a Bill
should be brought in for reducing the Auction Duty
on the sale of Sheep's Wool, the growth of this
country.
Mr. ROSE gave notice of a motion for Friday
;text, relative to the resent state of mendicity in
this country.
London, England, 1815-06-07

" We have nothing to hope, nothing to ask, front
the favour of any foreign power. France is the same
I to us, whether ruled by Napoleon or Louis, by a
King or an Emperor. We owe no enmity to Louis ;
we owe no debt of gratitude to Napoleon. The
commercial edicts of the latter had injuriously affect-
ed our maritime rights, though they ceased to do fits
before his late exile; and were not renewed by his
successor. It is alike the interest amid the wish of
free America to enjoy peace and friendly intercourse
with all the world, and to avoid entanglement in the
politics of Europe. Nothing but llagruht invasion
of our rights, such as we have heretofore experienced,
can draw us from that position. We desire from the
European Powers, only an observance of that re-
spect to our rights which is dae to the rights of every
independent nation. This respect,. let us hope, w ill
! be scrupulously rid by the Ruler of France, who
has seen, and, in common with the rest of the
world, cannot but have duly appreciated the
I virtuous struggle of this young nation, in defence of
, its violated rights which has just so honourably ter.
minated. We have, then, nothing to apprehend
from this extraordinary event, unless it be that in
: the event of war between Britain and France, which
is probable, our neutral rights may he again assailed,
and require the arm of the nstion to be again
stretched not to *indicate them. This. is a remote
contingency, to n hich we refer only to deprecate it.
" Upon the whole, it appears to us, that this is
one of those occurrences on which our feelings may
well be neutral. had it occurred before the termi.
nation of the war, every American would have re-
joiced at it, as weakening the power of the nation
with which we were at war. But, as things are, we
see no reason, in a national point of view, whatever
be our individual prejudices or partialities, to rejoice,
any more than we do to grieve, at the restoration or
Napoleon."
It seems to be the intention of the Americans t 4
proceed in the completion of the ships of war buil&
ing on Lake Ontario without delay. Two valuable
ships had arrived at New. York front China, after
short passage. They brought intelligence that thy
insurrection in Chtmt had proved to have originated
in a conspiracy promoted by the Emperor's brothers
'A hich being frustrated, the conspirators were all be,
headed. The ditfelences between the English and site
Chinese had been settled.

FINANCE.

Mr. TIERNEY' enquired whether it was in the
contemplation of the Right Honourable Gentleman
to propose any new measures of finance, in the place
of those which had been abandoned ? The Stamp
'Duties had not yet been brought before Parliament,
bet he understood that there were alterations, and
that their original amount was calculated at 800,0001.
The Wine Tax was withdrawn, and he understood
that the Tobacco and new Customs and Excise Duties
Were *attmasee .5 1 ,&)fl MA. had the Right Hon.
Gentleman no farther Ways and Means of meeting
theittlfileulties of the present crisis ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in
a low tone of voice, observed, that the Right Hon.
Gentleman had accurately stated the original esti•
mated produce of the new taxes which had not been
abandoned. The Stamp Duties, however, had been
newly modified, and were now estimated at 1,000,0001.
For whatever deficiency might arise in the Ways
and Means already before Parliament, it was the in-
tention of his Majesty's Government to propose re-
sorting to the Stock now in the hands of the public
Commissioners.

Mr. GRENFELL gave notice of a motion on the
subject of the public balances deposited in the Bank
of England.
Mr. BENNETT desired to know whether the
Noble Lord on the other side was prepared to state
the present amount of his Ro}al Highness the Prince
Regent's debts?
Lord CASTLEREAGH said, that the account
had been made up to the 30th of May last, that the
amount was 339.0001.

Mr. TIERNEY thought the most advisable and
shortest way was to pay oti the uhole at once, or to
come to some resolution to that effect.

Lord CASTLEREAGH apprehended there might
be a dilieroice between what was the shortest, and
what was the cheapest way.
Mr. T 1 EKNEY said, he conceived the question
of cheapest was not the only question connected with
this unpleasant subject. These debts were an eye-
sore to the country, nor could the security of the
creditors be deemed complete without some Parlia-
mentary recognition of their claims.
•
Mr. 11. ADDINGTON then, in pursuance of. a
notice he had given, moved for leave to bring in a
Bill to alter and amend the Acts relating to the trans-
portation of convicted offenders.
After a few words from Mr. lIOLFORD and Sir
CHARLES MONCK, the question was put and
carried in the affirmative.

Mr. TIEItNEY enquired when the Subsidiary
Treaty would be laid before the House.
Lord CASTLEREAGH replied, to:morrow, pro-
bably.

" Several inhabitants of thedepartments occupied
by the Allied Powers have dared to commit serious
acts of violence on detached soldiers belonging to

LONDON:
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1115.

A Daseh mail is arrived, bringing Frankfort and
Brussels Papers, and a variety of advice. from the
Continent,which, though not of very recent dates, are
of considerable interest. The accounts from the
French frontier are still very inexplicable. Measures
of the utmost activity, and even of unusual severity
are had recourse to by the French Government to
strengthen its army. All French soldiers returning
as priseaers of war are compelled to enter the ser-
vice, all those absent on furlough are ordered to
return to their corps, and the. most prompt and
Vigorous exertions a►e adopted to get the deserters
to rejoin, :Ind to prevent desertion. The Prussian
troops which had been diminished in the frontier
departments are also reinforcing, and in motion.
This does not anger well.
We have very little intelligence in these Papers
from Vienna, but we find it incidentally stated, that
a Courier left that city on the 24th instant, with
important dispatches for the English Government.

From Italy we are informed, that the Pore has
called an assembly of his trusty emissaries, the
Jesuits, to council Kith him in his present emer-
gency, and that the Ea-Empress, MARIA lARISA, is
to take possession of her Italian dominions, when
her august father visits Milan to place oe bit bead
the Iron Crown.

The Paris Papers to the 3d inst. have been re-
ceived.

They furnish some further details respecting
MunAT, which vary little from those already re. :
ceived. Whilst at sea a violent tempest separated
the vessels in which his small force was embarked, i
so that when he landed he was without support.—
There were no troops in the part of the country
where he chose to make this attempt. As he seems
to have addressed biosself particularly to the military,
and relied on their manifesting the mama feeling of
resentment which he himself felt against FERDI-
NAND, for having styled the army which be bad created
and led to honourable euterprize " a hostile ban-
ditti," and which disgraceful imputation on the
Bower of the nation (never more impolitic than in the
mouth of such a Princess Fusin's/too), he acknow-
ledges had induced him to resume the resolution of re-
conquering his States, it is the more to be wondered
at that he should think of disembarking where (here'
were none of his military adherents to support him,
and at the distance of 48 leagues from Naples. his
Proclamation to the Neapolitans, and the Decree,
found among his papers, unfold the projects he intend.
ed to carry into execution. They are all of a liberal
and beneficent character. Ile aged* declares, that it was
his invariable system to preserve peace with England;
and a feeling of the most poignant indignation can-
not but till the Reader's mind when he reads and
knows it to be true, that this country made war on
this devoted Ally, end put him down and set
up an ungrateful bigot in his stead, merely be-
cause Austria was at war with Naples. " Lord W.

any Commission appointed under the Great Seal,
a long train of practice, sanctioned by the highest
Authorities in the history of the law, sufficiently esta-
blished. That, however, this prerogative did not
extettd to Commissions appointed under the Sign
Manual he was ready to admit, and he apprehended
that the Commission alluded to in 180 J, was of that
dibsetiptioii. But as to Commissions under the Great
Seal the Hors. Baronet was aware, that according to
Lord Coke, whom he had quoted, to administer an
oath without legal authority was a great misde-
meanour, and could it then be supposed that the
Commission of 1713, including some of the highest
law' authorities in the country, among others the
Lord Chancellor, would have administered oaths, if
not legally entitled so to do ? But the known admi-
nistration of oaths by the several Commissions under
the Great Seal, which had since existed, was con-
elusive upon the point, and no less than 35 or 36 of
those Commissions, bad acted from 1762 to 1800.—
"Was it possible to imagine that such a succession of
Commissioners could have been mistaken in 'their in-
terpretation of the law and the prerogative, and from
their interpretation he concluded that the Honour-
able Baronet's proposed Bill was totally unneces-
nary. With regard to compelling the attendance of
w:fo,sqes, he could not see why this variation from
the Commission of 1732 should be introduced. Un-
less, indeed, some stronger grounds could be shown .1!
than had yet been brought forward by the Right
Hon. Gentleman, he for one, should think it quite
unnecessary to pass the present Bill. If false testi. ,
mony weregiven before those Commissioners, though
the parties could not be indicted upon the statute of
the sth Elizabeth, a statute, indeed, upon which per-
jury
was now never prosecuted, yet at Common Law
it would be a high misdemeanour, a iid,as such, punish-
able. Thinking, therefore, that any Legislative
enactment was unnecessary, he should think it his
duty to move the previous question.
Sir J. NEWPORT replied, and animadverted up-
on the manner in which the Commissioners were fre-
quently appointed, being sometimes Police Ma-
gistrates, Masters in Chancery, 87. c. He also dwelt
upon the necessity of compelling witnesses to appear,
as, without such compulsion, individuals would re-
luctantly come forward, when, in so doing, those in
particular who held situations in the various offices,
would often risk their places by disclosures they might
be in a condition to make.
The SOLICIIOR-G ENERA L explained ; after
Which the previous question being carried, the mo•
lion was, of course, lost. I ,
Sir J. NEWPORT gave notice that he should,
on Tuesday next, move for leave to bring in a•Bill
to compel witnesses to attend before the Cornelis.

WAYS AND MEANS.

The CHANCELLOR •of the EXCHEQUER'
moped the pro forma committal of the Waysvand.,
neans, for the purpose of correcting an error heinid:
fallen into on a former night, by the omissiob of two
clauses, which were usually inserted, relative to
Snuff and British Wines.

Mr. CA LCRAFT wished to know whether the
Malt Duiy .was• reported with the last Resolutions'? '

The CHANCELLOR, of the EXCHEQUER.
replied, that the discussion on the Assessed Taxes had
been deferred until Monday next.
Mr. GREN FELL enquired whether, with refer-
ence to the Loan for the ensuing four years, the taxes
now proposed would embrace the whole expenditure
of each year, or whetlrerit was likely that fresh ones
would be required ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER.
said, it was impossible, at once, to give a fu4l an-
swer to this question. From the best calculation he
had been able to make, the sums for which he had
applied would be sufficient to provide for the unfund-
ed debt. He had taken the sum of 19,000,0001.
upon the view of an enlarged peace establishment—
on the necessity of continuing or relinquishing u hick
upon an enlarged scale, must depend the answer to
the Hon. Gentleman's question.
Mr. 'ffERNEY. asked, was the p,000,000i. per
annum, in addition to the 5,000,0001. of new taxes,
to cover each year's Loan, or the unfunded debt ,
Was t)ie 6,000,0001: to go on for the perfume:it ea-a,
tablishment of the country?
The CHANCELLOR, of the KXPHEQUARI
. . •
replied, it would he for Parliament to say, at Jibe AA-
piration of four years, how far the contiansapce of
this sum would become necessary.
Mr. TI ERNE' Then these taxes, &c. must
he continued to make up the peace establishmestl—
the new Loaninast depend upon the amount they .
shall have produced)"
The "CHANCELLOR of the EXCIEN,I; ER --
" If the proposed takes fall.short of the sumuwanted,
the Loan must, of course, be increased, phcrold the
tame peace establishment continue.",

, ..,

Mr. TIERNEY—" It is assumed, in the first
Instance, that the war taxes will produce 6,000,0001."
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—
" If that shall not prove the case, the increase must
be effected by other means."
Mr. PONSON BY said, that as they were voting
tour years taxes instead of one, he hoped it would not
be toe intrusive to ask, when the particulars of the
peace establishment would be submitted for their
oonsideraton ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXeHEQUER
declared his intention to take au early opportubity
of submltnng it.
Sir G. UEATIICOTE enquired, whether it was•
meant to apply any pert of the taxes which they were
abbot to vain towards the rebuilding or repairing any
forts or fortresses in Belgium ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
observed, that 'questiOn was not before the House.
The House then' went through the Committee,
and the Report was ordered to be received to-mor-
row.
The Committee of Supply was postponed until
Friday next.

Mr. Rose, Lord 13intting, and Mr. Ponsonby ex-
plained ; after which, on.the suggestion of Mr. Pon-
'pithy, the Chancellor of the Exchequer mored the
adjournment of the debate to this day, which was
agrevd to; the Chairman reported progress; and at

We this day received the Paris Papers of Monday
last (the 20th), and advises by private letters from
various parts of the Continent. The intelligence
from Vienna is of the 9th. It is pacific, and conti-
nues to induce an impression that the material points
of the Negotiations are settled. The private letters
affirm that the Duke of WELLINQTON is seriously
ill of a nervous complaint ; and the Emperor of
illness.still'contioues. It will be observed
by the following extracts from the French Papers,
that the restoration of the King of S.txoNT to at
least a part of his dominions is secured :

VILVNA, Fi.a. 9.--For the last fifteen days the I
Gong' ess hate ha 4 daily meetings, which have at I
last ended in the most satisfactory manlier. The
precise details of course arc not published, but the
general result is declared. Prussia will gain in
Poland, Thorn and Kalisch ; in Saxony she will
have, beginning at Laubau, passing by Bautzen al-
most to Dresden, and then following the course
of the Elbe to Leipsic, including the two Lusa-
ties. By this arrangement 320,000 Saxons be-
come Prussian : all that will remain to the King of
Saxony will be a part of the Circle of Alisnie, of
Erzebert, of Voigtland, and of Leipsic. The con-
sequences of this change will be very important in.a
commercial point of view. The city of Leipsic, the-
fairs of which nre bo considerable, will be. entirely
surrounded by Prussian provinces.
Nothing now occupies the Congress but the unim-
portant affairs of Germany. It is officially an-
nounced that the Austrian army will be placed en the
peace establishment on the Ist of March.
'Bellow, FEB. 14.—We are assured that Eng-
land has decided on obtaining as an additioa :to our

kingdom the late French provinces of Liege, of
Limburg, of Luxemburg, and that part of the coun-
try of Namur, which lies on the right batik of the
Meuse. This will account for the immense British
army assembling here, which is daily receiving rein-
forcements : the expence must be prodigious.
Ia:YoEN, FEB. 15.—Sir Charles Stewart, late the
British Ambassador at Lisbon, has arrived in the
save quality at the Court of our Prince at the
Ilague, where he presented his credentials on the
13th.
