Mr. Lord, the attorney for 13. W. Poulton and T.
Green, has in- formed the House of Commons, by petition, that he declines issuing the writs at the suit of those parties against Messrs. Nichols, the printers to the House of Commons ; and he humbly prays that be may not be considered to have committed a breach of privilege in writing to the MeFsrs. Nichols. That puts an end to one of the two rases which were the foundation of the difference betwixt the House of Commons and the Lord Chief Justice.

The quantity of wine is stated at 8,1.00 bottles ; the consumption of sugar, 2,1_4101b. The early vegetables, fruits, and flowers, were brought from a great dis- tance. It is said that the Civil List paid more than 6,01/01. for the oetroi duty it Versailles on the different objects for the banquet. It would excite astonishment could the bill of fare be dissect .d article by article.
