There was a rumor current to the effect that
the Government have pledged themselves not
to apply any Of the war vessels to the importa-
tons Of provisions from foreign ports, andthat
they will merely act us carriers from the pr,n-
cipal portsin England to the coast on which the
destitutiOn is greatest. Every day the opinion
is gaining ground that there are only a few
weeks provisions in the country, and unless
immense imports arrive, famine must reach the

peasantry and artisans.

To KILL RATs.--If you are very much trou-

place accessible to them. Then purchase two

81 any other-(we are told that the Graefen-
burg are the mOst f%atal)-roll them in corn

can get at them. Every rat that eats Of them
will be taken with a leaving, never to return.

was alluded to BY Mr.. Morehead.
Afterhe had concluded, the debate was con-

some time, but the committee rose on motion,
without taking any final action upon the bill.
