to be held and disbursed at the rate of thirty
dollars per month for each man. One clause of
this Bill enacts :—That any British or other sub-
jects, proved to have been guilty of impressing
American seamen, shall be deemed pirates and
r•
felons, and punished with death ; such persons to
be tried on the spot, wherever they may be found :
By the farther clauses of this Bill, the American flag
is made to cover all persons .on board, excepting such
as may be in the acttfal service of Great. Britain ; and
it is ordered, that the Government do seize so many
British subjects in the United States, or fh the terri-
tories of Great Britain ! as shall be equivalent to the
number of Americans detaintl on board the British
navy; these hostages to be detained until a regular
exchange by the esual way of cartel. This Bill
passed the hist reading by a majority of 53 to 28;
and no doubt was entertained of its immediately
passing into a law. The National Intellkencer an-
nounces the measure of Embargo at preliminary to
war, and cautions the mercantile part of the Union
not to regard the restriction as a system to be acted
on. Even the private letters, while stating that
war is not very palatable, mention, that nothing but
the recal of our Orders in Council can prevent this
sad and afflicting calamity. Our Government are,
indeed, said to have received authentic information,
that Letters of Marque and Reprisal had actually
been issued by the Americans.
Since writing the above, the following copy of the
Impressed Seamen's Bill, as it passed to a thltd read-
ing in the House of Representatives on the 27th of
April, has reached us
:
" A BILL POfi THE PROTECTION, RECOVTRY, ASO

vessel, of any foreign nation, shall have taken or
impressed from on board any ship or other ves-
sel of the United States, while at any port or place
not within the jurisdiction of such foreign ,nation,
or while on her passage to or from any port or place,
any seaman, mariner, or other person, not being in
the military service of an enemy of such foreign na-
don, to prohibit, by proclamation, every person
residing within the United States, or its territories,
from affording succour or provisions of whatsoever
kind to such ship or vessel ; and any pilot, or other
person residing within the United States, who shall
(after such prohibition shall have been made known,
and before the same shall be revoked) afford aid,
succour, or provision as aforesaid to such ship or
vessel, and be thereof convicted, shall be sentenced
to be imprisoned not exceeding one year, and fined
not exceeding 1,000 dollars.
" Stc. 7. And be it further enacted, That from
and after the 4th day of June next, whenever full and
sufficient testimony shall be produced, that the Com-
mander or Commanders of public armed vessels, of any
foreign nation, having pressed or taken from on board
any ship or vessel within the jurisdiction of the United
States, or while on passage to or from any port or
place, any seaman, mariner, or other person, the
PRESIDZNT shall be, and hereby is, authorised to
prohibit, by proclamation, the landing from on
board any ship or other vessel of the foreign
nation (whose Commander or Commanders have of-
fended as aforesaid), any goods, wares, or mer-
' chaudite, within any of the ports of the United
States or its territories; and also to prohibit the lading
of any ship or vessel of such nation, within any of
the ports or territories of the United States, pro-
vided that nothing herein-contained shall be construed
to prevent any ship or vessel of the nation, whose
Commander or Commanders have offended as afore.
said, and which shall arrive within any of the ports
of the United States or its territories, to remain with
their cargoes on board, or to proceed to any place
without the jurisdiction of the United States.—
And provided also, that any ship or vessel of such
nation (which may have been partly laden at the
time such Proclamation shall be made known) shall
be permitted to depart with the lading then on board,
to the port of destination of such ship or vessel :"
upon a division, the Yeas 58—the Nays 28.—This
Bill has been since, on its third rending in the House
of Representatives, recommitted to a Committee of
the whole.

The Paine REGENT, accompanied by the Duke
of CestasaLAND, left town soon after nine o'clock,
for Windsor, where they were met by the other
branches of the Royal Family, who, with a select
party of particular friends, paid their complimentary
respects to the Quays, in the Grand Saloon, on
the return of the day. Princesses AUGUSTA,
SOPHIA, and Cummotert of WALES, the Dukes of
CLARENCE and Kawr, rode on horseback in the
Plantations, &t........expee;ed by Lords Soweavnts
and ST. HELENE; Generals IiARTH, CAR.'
and WINYARD ; Col. TAYLOR., and Lady ROSSLYN.
Mr. SCRAW, the Messenger, was sent off with
dispatches to America, about three weeks ago.
COURTS-MARTIAL.—A Circular Letter from the
War-Office, dated the 25th of March, has been ad-
dressed to the Colonels cfimmanding regimmts, in
which they are apprised, " that his Royal Highness
the PRINCE REGENT has deemed it expedient to re-
vert to the custom heretofore in use, of entrusting to
the Colonel or Commanding Officer of each regiment,
a warrant, empowering him to hold in the regiment
under his command, and composed exclusively of the
Officers belonging to it, General Courts-Martial,
for the investigation and punishment of offences,
which, though they do not fall under the description
of small offeeces, and consequently of offences cog.
nizable by a Regimental Conrt-Martial, are not, how-
ever, from their nature, of sufficient gravity or im-
portance, to require the investigation of a General
Court-Martial,i composed of Officers of other corps."
A Circular Letter, which accompanies the pre-
ceding document, contains the following recom-
mendations on the subject of the prevention of mi-
litary offences :

; Peeesratasissf.--A gentleman of the name of
FERGUSSON, on Tuesday morning, started from
Hyde-park Corner, to walk barefooted fiftpeu
miles in five hours. He performed the task with
ease in three hours and 40 minutes. The first 10
miles he walked in two hours and .58 minutes.
An inquest was taken on Wednesday the 80th ult.
'.before the Alderman of the borough of Malmesbary,
on the body' of Thomas Carter. It appeared that the
deceased had been dining with the members of a
benefit club, or friendly society, at the Three Cups
Inn, that is the evening having become intoxicated
he was placed in a wheel-barrow, and by four of his
companions wheeled from the Inn where he had bees
dining to the George Inn, and there thrown into
stable, where he was soon after discerned its &
lifeless state. Medical assistance was immediately
called in, but every effort to restore animation wasia
vain! Never perhaps was therean instauce of morewan-
ton or cruel treatment than this poor creature, who
was of the most peaceable disposition and habits,
etbeeived from those who had been his companions,
and whose duty it was to have affordod him protec-
tion, instead of exposing and depriving him of exist..
;nee. The public will no doubt leant with astonish.,
went, and indignation, that the perpetrators of tilt,
cruel act, that the men who have deprived an inno-
cent individaul of his life, a wife of her husband, and,
eight children of a parent, have escaped all punish..
meet, except that which must arise from that of their
own consciences ; and it is most probable, their com-
punctions will be bat light, or it would have been
impossible they could have acted in the manner
they did, had the efforts of conscience any influence
on their actions.
The following is an instance of the fatal effects of
inattention in administering medicines. A woman
who lives at Gedney Dyke, having last week gone
to a shop to purchase some syrup of rhubarb, which
she intended giving to a child, the person who sup-
plied her, unfortunately, by mistake, gave her lau-
danum, of which the woman administered to the
child two tea-spoonfuls. The consequence was the
death of the child.
CHILD STE.u.INc.—A mast atrocious instance of
depravity occurred a few days since, in the neigh-
bourhood of Taunton, in the deprivation of' a child.
from its miserable parents, through the artifice of an.
old woman. She applied to the poor people, who
live in a cottage near Taunton, for liberty to warm
and rest herself' Th.:4 61411U...1, a.. 1 tha nett'
any she came again, and stole away a fine infant,
about three years old. The distressed father, riding
all night over the county, in quest of his child,
luckily met the old hag coming into the town of
Chard. They had staid in the fields all night, and
the poor infant had been beaten severely for not
calling the wretch mother. Its clothes and shoes
had been taken away, and the object of the inhuman
monster was to go begging with the child. She is
committed to Ilchester Gaol.
A most melancholy accident happened on Wednes-
day se'nnight, at Portchester ; as the boat of the &-
I *!stance was there with an officer, making payment
of remittances to the prisoners, Henry Franks, a very
fine young man, who was boat-keeper, by some ac-
cident, when the rest of the crew were absent, fell
out of the boat ; he was soon missed, and picked up
before cold, but every effort to restore animation was
in vain : he had a large cut over one of hi* eyes,
which is supposed to be occasioned by filling egaipst
the bk.at's stem or a stone. An inquest h s oeen e
on the body, and a verdict returned ot —Accidenial
Death.

which he has endured for the good of this kingdom
andof mankiod in general, it is sufficient for me to I
say, that on- the Grand Question upon which we
have been called together, he is and has been; for
nearly 18 years that he has sat in Parliament, the
most powerful, most honourable, and most consistent
advocate; and I think I am warranted in saying, the
only one of the Members of that House which calls
itself the House of Commons, whose constant um-1
formity of conduct has convinced the sober and
thinking part of mankind of the sincerity of his pro-1
fessions.—[Applause.]
Gentlemen,—The English Constitution is in itself,
and has been so called, in days that are past, the no-
blest effort of human wisdom. Of such import are ,
laws, and were so esteemed by nor ancestors, that
the making df them was entrusted to none but the
nation at large—neither the King nor the Aristo-
cracy were, by oar ancestors, thought fit to be trust-
ed with the power of taking sixpence from the pocket
of the subject, moth less to make laws affecting
vise* lives and their liberties ; and the morality of
this Constitution iv admirable, making every one con-
sent and agree triall laws made to bind him : hence
the law or act being his own, no man that was rot
devoid of all honour and conscience would evade or
infringe it in the slightest degree.
Gentlemen,—We have three estates—King—
Lords—and COmmons :—The powers of the two
first have suffered no diminution or infringement in
the slightest degree, while that of the Commons has
virtually become annihilated; and as, in the 17th
eentury, the House of Commons destroyed the House
of Lords, so in the present the Lords and Treasury,
and Boroughs united, have rendered representation a
mockery.
Gentlemen,-162 Peers and thesTreasury. eturn
306 Members; and 2611 persons .return to Parlia-
ment 327. Thus, those who pretend to be repre-
sentatives of eight millions of persons, are returned
by 2611 individuals.
Now, were those 2611 individuals in a state of
Freedom, it might be possible they would return
disinterested men ; but they are the dependants either
of the Aristocracy or the Treasury, and hence has.
tnisen an interest hostile to that of the community,
which has nal ursily become a locust, consuming every
green thing, and the industry of the nation has been
found unah!e to support the waste which its cupidity
has occasioned. What evils were only contemplated
in the days of Locke and Harrington, are now prac-
tically, and, I fear, fatally felt; and it has become
doubtful whether the day of Reform has not been so
long protracted, that all remedies will be unavailing,
and that we must fall a prey either to Foreign Con-
quest or Domestic Anarchy.--[Hear, hear! Time

Milton, to turn out the Pitt and Perceval Admini-
stration. What a change! hut some say he
to represent the County of York ?" Gentlemen,
this did not cause the least surprise to me. When
I' recollected the practice of the great political
leaders and their puffers, during the wholp of this
unfortunate reign, and also that report said his
grandfather was the-great favourite and director of
the Royal Council, from the day of the Kines ac-
cession :—1 considered it only as that. Mr. Wortley
saw more clearly and earlier than some persons, that
the frequent necessity for making op new Adminis-
trations, and the yearly increase of difficulty from
the dreadful financial circumstances of•the country,
attended with the loss of public.- confidence in •the
House of Commons, that the.secret influence behind,
the Throne which had been so long and so often felt
alluded to must give way, and no one can blame a
person from running out of a falling house.--:-What
, has been the glorious effect of this motion ?—Whe
this,—that with his and a few others leaving his
