Mr. RENNET presented a petition from the Mayor, Aldermen, 6ic. of Shrewsbury, against the New Marriage Act.— The petitioners set forth that they were patrons of the peculiar jurisdiction of St. Mary, Shrewsbury : and they complained, that by the Act certain fees had been taken from their official, without any compensation having* been made for the loss thus sustained. Mr. FA; VTON CORBETT supported the prayer of the petition. He said a great hardship.. had been inflicted by the Act on the patrons and officials of the various peculiar jurisdictions, and lie expressed a hope that those.- hardships would be removed by the Bill now before the Rouse. ' Th- e Petition was then ordered to be printed. AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS. Sir THOMAS LETHBRIDGE said he was glad to find in the late Royal Speech from the Throne, that the agricultural interest was characterized as the most important interest of the country. It was in a most depressed situation, and he • wished to know from Ministers what- was the nature and extent of the, relief which they proposed to extend to. the suffering agriculturists of the country .? Mr. Secretary CANNING rep'ied to the' question! of the Hon, Baronet, in nearly the following words : — It. is quite impossible to find fault with the Ron. Baronet, and nobody can be less disposed' to do so than myself,- for having ' availed himseif of ' the opportunity of bringing up the present Report to express his regret and disappointment at not- seeing introduced in his Majesty's Speech from the Throne any specific promise of relief for the agri- cultural interest.— On the, other hand,, the Hon. baronet does great injustice to his Majesty's Mi- nisters, if he supposes that- eilher on this, or on any ' former occasion, they have been deficient in a desire to give relief, if relief be practicable, by any of those direct measures which the Hon. Baronet deems . to hi; beneficial; Still less if he supposes that they do not look with the most sincere sympathy to distresses which have undoubtedly prevailed to a degree which every man who is interested for the we] fare of the country must acknowledge and deplore. If it had been in the power of his Ma- jesty's Ministers to afford relief, they would not ; have wailed for the call of the Hon. Baronet. I regret, as much as the Hon. Baronet, that it was not possible to add to the concluding paragraph of . the King's Speech a declaration of his Majesty's Ministers' intention to. propose some specific mea- sure of relief;, but I am sure the Hon. Baronet will agree that it would be most. unfair and injudicious to purchase eit her liis. support, or a temporary popu- larity, by holding out expectations , of. relief, which after the mast anxious, laborious, and conscientious consideration, they could not themselves believe to be attainable. I can assure the House, that. for the last four months, during which I have, had the honour of sitting in his Majesty's Councils,. and for many months preceding that period, the attention of the Government iu general, ana especially of s:) tne individual Members of it, has been anxiously directed to the consideration of this, subject. I will ' go further, and own that for a time I was sanguine enough to believe that some direct measure might be devised ; and if I at length yielded to the. com- plete conviction that the measure- which was for time in contemplation could ptfcftlu'Teno beneficial effect, it was an unwilling and leliictaut conviction, but still it was sincere, and with that sincere con- viction, it could have done ho service to the country, or the interest in question, but, on the contrary, must have been of the greatest disservice to both, to agitate any measure which could end only in ( lis. appointment, and which could have no other effect than that or exciting- hopes which it would be impossible to realize. With that conviction — with the strong, though reluctant feeling which I enter tain of the necessity of arriving at such a conviction, I am compelled to say, that with regard to any direct measure for the immediate relief of the dis- tresses of the agricultural interest, the Government do not, under all the circumstances, profess to see their way. If there be shame in this avowal, it is shame which the Government must share with two consecutive Committees of this House, composed of men the most, capable from their experience and practical knowledge of devising remedial measures for the interest with which they were immediately connected - Iii addition to this, if the Hon. Baronet thinks he can submit any measure of his own to the consideration of the House, I can assure him that it will be received on the part of the Government, as I am satisfied it will be on the part of the House, with the most anxious and deliberate attention. Convinced, however, as the Government is, that they can advise no measures for the immediate relief of the agriculture of the country, they would not discharge their duty if they did not at once declare their sinc. crc, deliberate, and honest con- viction. Though no direct remedies be practicable, . it does not follow that collateral remedies may not be applied. It is a disputed point in this House whether the remission of taxation will afford direct relief, or whether its remedial effect on the agri- culture of the country will only be collateral. Without entering into this question, I will only observe, that while there was a possibility of afford- ing relief by this means, the Government would not have done their duty, if they had not turned their attention to this point, and I am hot afraid to say, that the only measure directed to the relief of the Agriculture of the Country, which it is their intention to propose, will be comprised in the statement of my Right Hon. Friend, on this day fie.' nnig'ht, when lie will submit a remission of direct Taxation to the consideration of the House. I trust, that in any thing I have no\ V said, I shall not incur the imputation directed by the Hon. Bart, against the Government, of a want of feeling for that interest which the Crown has justly pro- nounced to be the most, important of all. But, if this interest be, as it undoubtedly is, the most important of all, because it is the basis upon which all others must stand, I trust I may venture to indulge the hope that, all these other interests can- not be materially and steadily advancing without operating a gradual if not an immediate relief to that great interest, which is the foundation of all ; that this relief, though it may fall short of our wishes, will not fail to grtify our expectations.; that though it may not be so rapid and immediate as we might desire, it will at least be steady and permanent in its operation. Mr. CURWEN strenuously contended that funded property ought to be made available to the poor- rates. Mr. ROBINSON ( the Chancellor of the Exchequer) was. anxious,' as he felt, most deeply interested iu this question, to offer a few remarks for the consi- deration of the House. He wished to bring ihe question distinctly before them, and to state what were his views and intentions with respect to it. They had heard, from time to time, different rea- sons assigned for the prevailing distress. He, however, believed, that the system of credit which had been adopted in this country for many years, was one great cause of the evils the people were now labouring under. As this suggestion was;., new, he threw it out for the consideration of the Members of that House, previously to the period when he might bring it more formally under their Consideration. During the French and Spanish war, from 1740 to 1749, the Government borrowed money at the rv. te of 3 and 4 per cent. Now, he would contend, that if their credit were equally good at present, as it was then, they should not nave been borrowing' money during the late wars at 7 or 8 per cent. He would explain. There was no money borrowed in the 3 per cents, during those recent wars, but at the average rate of 5 per cent, for all sums paid into the Exchequer ; besides which, there was given to the loan contractors a sum of £ 40 in addition. For what reason was that sum given to them? Why should it be pre- sented to them, when they did not advance one farthing for it ? Now it was quite evident to him, that it was this system of borrowing— of borrowing on ruinous terms-- which had plunged the country into those difficulties of which all classes were com- plaining. They were now completely in the hands of a great, roohied body in that metropolis— who could, at their pleasure, keep the interest of money at as high a rate as they chose. (" No'; ancl hear, hear.) He contended, in answer to the gentleman who said " No," that ( hey could do so, in a very great measure. He would ask, when, at the con- clusion of the war to which he had first alluded, the Government were borrowing money at an interest of £ 3 for every £ 100 paid in the Exchequer, how it happened, at the conclusion of the late war, that the 3 per cents, rose above 100 ? Scarcely had the country been a year at peace, till the three per cents, rose to 102. Now, unless the gentlemen could prove that the profits on trade and capital were greater at the present moment than they were at the time to which he referred, or that there was now less capital in the country than there was then, he must contend that his case was borne out. That capital was plentiful, no one could deny. They their mouied men were reduced to such difE eulties to get rid of their capital, that they were throwing themselves into the arms of every despe- rate Government in the world.— The whole of this state- of things afose from the system of contract which he had described. He contended that, if they had not been borrowing at. a rate of from 7 to 8 per cent, when it might have been avoided, they would- not have been in ' their present situation. They might now, when they had an overflowing capital, more than they knew what to do with, borrow money at 2, or 3 per cent, to meet the debt, which would give more relief to the country than any measure he had heard recommended in that House. The good system of receiving into tlie Exchequer every shilling" which- the Government borrowed, and of paying for it the interest alone ( which, be was going to say, was the most ho- nourable system, but which certainly was the fairest and best for the public), ought to be. strictly adopted. By pursuing that course, they would be enabled, if it were necessary, to pay a higher rate of interest during- a war ; and it was better to pay 10 per cent, aiid reduce it afterwards, than to bori row money in the way they had done. It was his intention to submit a motion to the House, to reduce the burden . arising from the national debt, ou the principle he had described, and which he would then more fully explain.

A mass of intelligence has been received this day from Paris and Madrid— In France every pre- paration is making for approaching hostilities-, aud the. accounts from Madrid state the Spanish Government to be exerting themselves to resist the threatened attack— An idea seems ( o gain ground, however, that the present Spanish Govern- ment is not in the confidence of the Spanish nation. A considerable sensation has been ewit « l in the j City, by ail eminent Mercantile Houst; having told j Hie holders of Bills, drawn on it by the Spanish Government, " to pnsent them when due." This extraordinary conduct, which is vaiiously ac- counted for, lias done a serious, injury to the credit HOLYHEAD ROAD — Lord dive, 1' aiiton Cor- IH- U, Esq. and J Cressett Pelhani, Esq. went to tile Treasury on Wednesday last, where they saw Mr. 5.

Several petitions were presented, against the In- solvent Debtors' Acts. NEW MARRIAGE . ACT. Same Petitions having heen presented against the New Marriage Act, a conversation oil tin* sub- ject took place, and, on ihe suggestion id' the f. oar) CHANCEI. I. 011 aud Lord STOWF. IX,' a Connnittee was appointed to frame a new Act with the necessary STIRRE* COUNTY MEETING'.—- OO Monday, the lO. th iiist. a meeting of the " freeholders AND OTHEH inhabitants" of the County of Surrey took place at Epsom, to take into consideration the distress of the Agricultural Interest, and also to agree upon a petition for Parliamentary Reform. From the general terms of the requisition, it can excite no surprise, notwithstanding the state of the weather, tiiat a numerous assembly should be con- gregated, nor, when our readers call to mind the proceedings of some other county meetings, will t! ley be surprised at a meeting so formed adopting the most revolting propositions. Lord King- moved a petition couched in no very measured nor in very discriminating terms, for, among other matters, ft recommended' the plunder of the Church by the sale of its property. But this did not go far enough. The notorious Cobbett moved, as an amendment, the addition of one of his debt- adjusting, resolutions, which was carried, after being. seconded by the Honourable Henry Grey Bonnet, one of the Members for the Borough of Shrewsbury ! From a consideration of the latter circumstance, we have been induced to detail the proceedings of the Meeting, in our 4th page, at more length than we otherwise should have'dime, or than such a dis- gusting counterfeit of what a County Meeting should be would have required.- An Evening Paper, referring to the proceedings of the above Meeting, truly says, " That Englishman is 110 lover of his country, and has n. i veneration for her constitutional liberties, who would not, from his heart, deplore whatever tended to deprive public opinion of its just weight aud authority.

He has challenged every En- quiry ; and, upon the Investigation of his Conduct, has cleared up and falsified the Source. from whence every Rihnour has arisen, which appeared to g- ive Colour to the Insinuations against him. He has separately consulted Messrs. SCARLETT, PEARSON, CAMPBELL, and RUSSELL, who have all advised him from bringing an Action against his base Calumniators on the Ground of Deficiency of strict legal Evidence to support it, unless more complete Testimony could be found than what his Professional Advisers, on the strictest Enquiry, and with the utmost Diligence, have been able to procure.

HOUSE OF COMMONS— MONDAY. ACKICU LTUIIAI. I)' STR ESS. A petition was presented, from the County of Car- We understand that accounts have been received j mnithen, complaining of Agricultural Distress. from Lord Fitzroy Somerset, at Madrid, dated on the 29th and 30th of January. According to pre. [ VIr. HumE said, as the Hon.

" , . . flKUMIKKinil therefore,, he had determined to remain longer at Madrid. The French Minister, Lagarde, before he left Madrid, communicated to a Secret Com- mittee of the Cortes the determination of his Government to enter Spain with an army of 100,000 men, which communication is said to have induced the Spanish Government to strengthen itself by ail alliance with popular, though' moderate, persons at Madrid. Reports have, in consequence, gained ground of a change in the Spanish Ministry. THE PORTSMOUTH CASE— The five COM. missioners appointed to inquire whether the Earl of Portsmouth is of sane mind, have sat Ihe whole of this week; and a great number of witnesses have been examined, among whom was Mr. Justice Best. The whole evidence given by these witnesses went most strongly to prove Lord Portsmouth to he in an unsettled and unsound state of mind. Mr. Justice Best stated, that it was his opinion the Noble Earl was quite incapable of managing an y important affairs: he had a sense of religion, and knew right from wrong, but his intellect did not rise higher than that of a boy eight or ten years of age ; when treated unkindly, he would sulk and even cry. The same disgusting details of cruelty and indecency already laid before the public, have again been repeated by several witnesses. An announcement was made on Thursday at the Stock Exchange by the brokers of Mr. Solomon Cohen, of his inability to pay the losses lie has incurred by the fall of the Funds. . No event of this nature for several years past has excited greater regret. His transactions both in the English and Foreign Funds are said to have been on the largest scale. DREADFUL SNOW STORM IN THE NORTH !— The storm which had blocked up so tunny mails, there being no less than seven due from Edinburgh at one time, was one of the most sev- ere ever re- membered ; and iu various places many hundred labourers were employed several days and nights in opening the roads. The great severity of the storm was experienced northward from Yorkshire, where it extended in an accumulated degree across the kingdom, from St. George's Channel to the German Ocean ; and in some of the rallies of this district the wreaths of show were conjectured to be fifteen yards in depth ! The latter part of this storm, which con- tinued for several days, was accompanied byfia heavy gale of wind from E. S. E, thereby exposing the shipping in the North Sea to the most dangerous hazards, from the impossibility of discerning any object beyond the length of the vessel. In. this awftll extremity many wrecks took place on the coast, and upwards of 200 sail were compelled to take refuge in Leith Roads, where they rode very hard for some time, and several were in consequence obliged to seek more secure shelter higher np the Firth of Forth.— Thestorni has been dreadfully severe in Perthshire. Two women were dug out of the suow dead between Perth & Crieff on Saturday week. A young gentleman perished on Thursday night week, on the, Ochil Hills. A fine boy perished near Piteairn Green.— Several other lives have been lost in Scotland and iu the North of England — At Tron- dale, Yorkshire, a cottage was buried in drifted snow on Wednesday week, and a man, his wife, and three children, who inhabited it, were suffocated. SAVINGS BANKS— On the 6th of January, 1823, there was standing in the name of the Commissioners, on account of the Savings Banks of England only, the prodigious sum of £ 5,877,000 accumulated within four years.

FROM A CORRESPONDENT.— The Tithe- Audit of a Lay Impropriator of the Parishes of Stanton Long and Diddlebury, in this county, took place on Monday week, when the- Agent ( after issuing a circular appointing, a day for the receipt, and promising therein to make a very liberal dis- count to those who should pay on the day ap- pointed) made an allowance of 15 percent, only, to the great disappointment of the tenantry, who are now paying a composition according with prices agricultural produce fetched in the year 1811 ( the Tithes having been valued in that year, and then let at the utmost value for a term of years), and the difference in value of agricultural produce in the year 1822, as compared with the year 1811, being at least 65 per cent, against the farmer.— The tenants have now given notice to toiled in kind. | To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. ' SiR,- r- By the Newspapers of last week, I perceive that Lord Althorpe has given notice that he should, ! on this day ( Tuesday), submit a measure to the House of Commons, having for its object the more , eaaii rico'very of small debts. The importance of an Act of this kind to trades- men, and the incalculable benefit that would arise from it, are too obvious to require pointing out by ' me." My only object in thus calling their attention to it, is to state that the noble lord has many very powerful opponents, and that the chance of success will principally depend upon his Lordship receiv- ing that zealous support from those interested in the measure, which the importance of it demands. This support to be effectual can only be g- iven by petitions to the House of Commons in favour of the measure being immediately drawn up and forwarded from all parts of the kingdom; and by the Representatives of the different Boroughs and Counties being requested to give the same their cordial support. I trust that the tradesmen of Shrewsbury will be among- the foremost in this necessary business, and that those respectable indi- i viduals who took so active a part in g- etting- up j a petition for the repeal of the Insolvent Act, will, I if possible, be doubly active in support of an Act • which, I think, besides its numerous advantages, I will not only tend in a great measure to check the . unprincipled conduct- of many individuals, who, aware of the unwillingness tradesmen have to adopt legal steps to recover small debts, never think of paying them ; but also be the means of preventing many of those nefarious transactions which are committed under the Insolvent Act.

CAMBRIDGE COUNTY MEETING. This meeting was held on Friday last, and was of < i similar stamp to that in Surrey. A series of resolutions for Reform and so forth were moved by Mr. C. BEALES; one of these resolutions recom- mended the abolition of all tithes in ecclesiastical liands, and suggested that the efficient clergy should be compensated by the distribution among " them of the landed estates now, enjoyed by ecclesiastical: in- dividuals and by'corporations.-. Another resolution recommended a reduction of the interest of. the national debt according- to the value of the currency ; and that funded property should be assessed to the poor— Mr. FORDHAM seconded the resolutions. Mr. G. PRYME recommended that such parts of the resolutions as related to the national debt and tithes should be omitted ; but this suggestion was negatived, and the original resolutions and a petition founded thereon were carried, and Lord F. Osborne, the Member for the County, was requested to present the petition to the House of Commons.. Lord F. OSBORNE said, he should feel now, for the first time, that bis duty was a painful one. He had been taught from his earliest years, that no man should put his hand into his neighbour's pocket, be- cause his own was empty. To touch the funded pro- perty would be to deprive not the rich hut the poor of their small pittances. The revenues of the Church, too, ought not to be reduced, but equalized. Mr. H. GuxxiNG said he had been for 30 years an advocate for Reform. God forbid, however, that he should even seem to join in the resolutions which had been passed, the objects of which were rapine and confiscation. He repeated they were most dis- graceful: they were neither more nor less than those which bad been proposed by Cobbett nt Norwich. It was well known that he ( Mr- Gunning) had never in his life advocated corruption ; but he would never lend himself to support a plan for depriving any set of men of property which vvas theirs by law. HERTFORDSHIRE MEETING— We were en ahled to state in our last Journal, that the plundering schemes since adopted at the. Surrey- and Cambridge meetings, were-., ousted at the late Herts county meet- ing, chiefly by the exertions of a noble and strenuous member of the opposition— Lord DACRE, who, in a manly, temperate, and constitutional address, that was received with rapturous applause, shewed the injury which the cause of Reform sustained by such propositions, and also the gross injustice which they contemplated — propositions which, his Lordship said, went to recommend that a vast mass of propeity be- longing to individuals, and LAWFULLY belonging to them, should be confiscated. His Lordship observed further, I have no great veneration for enormous Church revenues, particularly for the overgrown possessions of the Irish hierarchy * but we must hot forget, that the interest held in these possessions by. ihe present proprietors, is held under the same law, which, if once infringed upon, might, and probably would, shake the foundation upon which your own property rests." BRITISH COMMERCE.— A gratifying view of the state of our foreign trade, communicated to the House of Commons on Wednesday evening, will be found in the Parliamentary Report inserted in our 4th page. FALSE NEWS.—' The statements which have appeared in several of the Papers, of the Marquis of Stafford being indisposed, and of Mr. Coui tenay having succeeded Mr. Baron Wood, are untrue.— There is also no truth in the reports which have appeared in some of the Papers, of the French Minister, M. de Villele, having declared, in a Secret Sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, that the French Government had for some time been secretly stirring up insurrection in Spain wherever it was possible. FRANCE AND SPAIN.— Some articles of in- terest, in reference to the probable war between France and Spain, are inserted in our 4th page : one of these articles, the Address of the French Chamber of Deputies to Louis XVIII. pledges the French nation to a cordial support of whatever measures the French Government may deem it necessary to adopt.

GAOL- BREAKING.— On Tuesday night, the 4th inst. between six and seven o'clock, William Thomas, of Llandrillo, Samuel Hughes, from Wrexham, Edward Jones, from Denbigh, Ellis Williams, from Gresford, Richard On- en, from Llaiiyraynech, William Williams, from Llansilin, William Jackson, aged 15, and William Thomas, aged 13, from Liverpool ( the two latter charged with shop- lifting at Wrexham), all prisoners for trial at the ensuing Assize, broke out of Ruthin Gaol. They made their escape by bursting open the large door to the felons' yard, and afterwards carrying away the blocks they had to sit on, and a round table, which they placed at the end of the Court wall, as steps to climb up, A debtor named Lloyd, hearing chains rattle in the felons' yard, and thinking something was wrong, gave an alarm, and pursuit was commenced immediately. Ellis Williams and William Williams were taken on the top of the prison bath adjoining the felons', court wall', Richard Owen was taken under a plat in the Park; Edward Jones ( an old offender) made his way to Llanrhydd Churchyard, and placed Himself in the thick part of a yew tree, but there being snow on the ground he was traced and taken ; Jackson and Thomas were taken near Llandegla, by some of the Ruthin Police, who went in search of the other two.-— The cause of the frequent escapes from this Gaol is attributed to the distance of the gaoler's apartments from the felons' court. The Right HVvn. the Earl of Stamford has pre- sented the Rev. Oswald Leicester, of Altrincham, Vicar of Harlington, in the county of Bedford, to the living of Carrington, in the county of Chester^ 1 vacant by the death of the Rev. Mr. Foster.

Committed to our County Gaol, William Shaw, late of Cold Hatton, labourer, for breaking into the dwelling house of John Fleming, of Cold Hatton, and stealing a pair of leggings, & c. Committed to Worcester Gaol, Benjamin Pritchard and James Scriven, charged with stealing a goose and some fowls from the premises of Mr. Johu Wilson, of Alveley, in the county of Salop. A parcel, containing six hundred sovereigns, directed to Messrs. Attwoods, Spooner, and Co. bankers, Birmingham, was last week stolen from one of the London coaches, on its way to that place. Suspicion attaching to the guard, to whose care the property was entrusted, he has been apprehended and remains in custody. MURDER.— A murder was committed on Sa- turday se'nnight, on John Glyde, of North Newton, near Bridgewater, butcher. The deceased had incurred the anger of his neighbours by laying an information against some of them for selling cider without a licence. On Saturday he attended the bench of Magistrates in Taunton, with a similar intent- but from some inconsistencies in his state- ment, his allegations were deemed unworthy of credit. On leaving the Guildhall f a mob was raised, which followed him through the streets of the town. At a late hour of the night, he was attacked by three men a short distance from his house, who beat him so dreadfully, that in the morn- ing he was found a corpse. The men are in custody. On the IQth inst. a labourer, named Wright, of Farcet Fen, Huntingdonshire, in a fit of insanity, murdered his wife j he has been committed to prison. At our Fair on Tuesday and Wednesday last, there was a good supply of Fat Cattle, which, averaged full 4-| d. per lb. and met with a brisk sale.— Fat Sheep also averaged 4fd, and Stores improved in price.— Pigs met with ready sale at ail advance in price: fat ones averaging nearly 4d. per lb.— Butter in tubs sold from 8| d. to 9| d.

BLASPHEMOUS LIDEL.— We briefly mentioned in our last the sentence passed upon " William Ton- bridge, for this crime, in the Court of King's Bench. Tlie defendant argued in his defence, " That morals had no connexion with religion."— Mr. Justice. Bay- ley pronounced the judgment:— William Ton bridge^ said his Lordship, yon have been convicted by a Jury for the publication ofa blasphemous libel: The same libel has at an early period been prosecuted, and a person of the name of Carlile convicted. That, therefore, was a warning to you and others, that this, book ought not to be sold. The law of this country upon religious opinions is as liberal as the law of any country in tlie world. It ajlows every man to judge for himself. It does not prescribe any system of faith to any man ; but it does not suffer any man to abuse and vilify the. religion of the land. Yon are not aware of the mischief which by these publications you might do, nor of the high religious ciime which you might have to answer for. If you unsettle the opinions of the young and unwary ; if you take front- their minds the sentiments which religion had in- spired, you might be the author of all their future crimes. The wisest and best of men have believed the Christian Religion; and whoever looks to its principles at id doctrines will see, that they are cal- culated for the suppression of vice; for the sup- pression of the violence of the strong; and vviil be thankful that so much light has been shed upon the world, and such a restraint placed upon those who, but for the sanction of Religion, might apply their strength and violence to the oppression of the weak and unprotected. I thank God that I myself have examined that book, and have formed a firm belief of the doctrines which it contains and the principles which it inculcates. If this, or similar publications, have the effect of unsettling the minds of the young ; of removing from their minds that belief which the Christian religion inculcates— that there is ano her world, and that all must answer for their actions here before Him who can see the heart— they strike at the root of the best interests of society. As to your hav- ing been stopped by my Lord Chief Justice in tho progress of your speech, that seems to me most pro, per. You had a right to use topics, in your address to the Jury, to shew that in publishing this book you had no guilty intentions, but you had no right to, make an attack upon the religion of the land." At this interesting period the best weekly news* paper printed in London is Monday's Edition of The Observer, which is printed every Monday evening in time to send from London by that night's mail.

About half- past nine the carriage appeared in sight, from which the horses were speedily separated, and their places supplied by the people, who made their entry amidst the most deafening acclamations. J. C. Merries, Esq. the other candidate, arrived iu the night. At eleven o'clock, the Body Corporate assembled at the Guild- hall. Anthony Cox, Esq. Mayor, took occasion to ex- press the high sense he entertained of the talents of their late respected Member, the Right/ Hon. N. Van- sittart, and of the severe loss the Borough had sus- tained in his retirement; and, as a mark of their attachment and esteem, begged to propose that the Stewardship of the Borough should be offered for his acceptance, which suggestion was unanimously acceded to. The freedom of the Borough was then conferred upon the candidates. Mr. Alderman Hop- kins then rose and proposed the Right Hon. George Canning, in the room of the Right Hon. N.. Vansittai t, which was seconded by Thomas Cobbold, Esq. and carried unanimously. The Honourable Gentleman returned thanks with his accustomed ease and elo- quence, in the course of which lie passed a high eulogium upon the character of his predecessor, and felt happy that it stood so high in the estimation of his Sovereign, who was about to express the sense he entertained of his merit by elevating him to the Peerage— be felt assured that the separation of so amiable a man from his constituents must have been with mutual regret, and he was conscious that- coining amongst them after such a parting, must necessarily i operate to his disadvantage ; but he trusted their TIMBER.

PETERBOROUGH, FEB. 13.— The election of a Representative for this city, vacant by Mr. Scarlett acceptance of theChiltern Hundreds, to enable him to stand the contest for the Uni versity of Cambridge commenced on Tuesday morning. The candidates were, Mr. Scarlett, our late Member, and Mr. Wells, solicitor, of Huntingdon. They both entered the city about nine o'clock Mr. Scarlett came from Lord Fitzwilliam's seat, and drove to the Talbot Inn Mr. Wells came from his brother's house at Farcet, and was drawn in by the populace to the Angel Inn. The business of the day was entered upon at the Town- hall, at eleven, and Lord Milton harangued the populace from a waggon placed near the Hall ; afterwards Mr. Wells was drawn up, and his Lord- ship and Mr. Wells entered into some discussion on political questions. A long conference was held in the Hall by Mr. Wells and Mr. Gat^ s, the RetiTruing Officer, whether it would not be better to adjourn out of doors, and great confusion arose, but Mr. Gates persisted in not adjourning, and the election pro ceeded, with a few interruptions by the noise and clamour of the persons present and below. After the usual preliminaries were gone through, Martin Cole, Esq', proposed Mr. Scarlett as a fit and proper person to be returned to the Commons House of Par- liament as a Member for this City, and was seconded by A. Christie, Esq, Mr. Scarlett then rose to ad- dress the electors, in which lie endeavoured to ex- plain his motives aud the nature of his Bill brought before the House of Commons last Session, for amend- ing the Poor Laws, as he stated they had been mis- understood and misrepresented to them by handbills circulated by Mr. Wells, and also to explain his- mo- tives in leaving Peterborough for the University, to the satisfaction of his friends. Mr. Wells was pro- posed by Mr. Smith, of Saxon Barns, and seconded by Mr. " R. J. Head. Mr. Wells then addressed the electors, and entered generally upon and explained the nature and effects of Mr. Scarlett's Bill for amend- ing the Poor Laws, in case it had been passed into a law. After the speeches on both sides were con- cluded, the showof hands was declared in favour of Mr. Scarlett, when Mr. Wells demanded a poll, which was agreed upon, to take place at nine o'clock the following morning.— Near one hundred persons, consisting of the principal electors and gentlemen of the neighbourhood, dined at the Talbot Inn, on Tuesday. Mr. Scarlett and Loid Milton joined the party, aud on their healths being drank, severally addressed the company in very eloquent speeches, which were received with the loudest acclamations. The poll commenced at nine o'clock on Wednesday morning and finally closed at five in the afternoon, when the numbers were declared to be— For Mr. Scarlett 517 Mr. Wells ( Mr. Cobbetfsfriend) 31 Majority in favour of Mr. Scarlett 486 A numerous party of the principal inhabitants, friends of Mr. Scarlett, with Earl Fitzwilliam, Sir R, Heron, Mr. Chaioner, M. P. for the City of York, and other persons of distinction dined at the Bull Inn, after she ' ejection, and the evening was spent with the greatest harmony and conviviality. Mr. Scarlett was chaired this morning with the usual ceremony.— Cambridge Chronicle. LIVERPOOL ELECTION. Sir. Huskisson has been returned for Liverpool, after two days' polling. His election was opposed chiefly by the Radical party, who put Lord Molv- neux ( son of the Earl of Seflon) in nomination. The election came on on Friday last, on w hich day Mr. Huskisson polled 154 votes,' aird Lord Mol. yneux 23; and at the final close of the poll on Satffrday evening the numbers wen', for Mr. Huskisson 236," for Lord Molyneux 31.— Sonre of the more inveterate Radi- cals put Dr. Cromptoii into nomination, but he does not appear to have polled any votes.-— Among other expedients resorted to by the liberal party, with a view of rendering Mr. Hnskixson unpopular, was the publication of a handbill, signed fry the Reform- ing- Colonel Williams, a Magistrate of the County, in , which handbill Mr. Huskisson was declared to be an illegitimate alien .'— Mr. Huskisson, when lie ap- peared on the hustings on Friday, held one of these bills in his hand, and said, u There have been certain odious placards published, one of which I hold in my hand, which contain malignant slanders against my , character, and intimate disqualifications for my pre- sent bearing towards you, from which I feel called upon to relieve my name. Had these been the com. man anonymous squibs, which circulate in election- eering times, I might have passed them without' notice. Observing one of these signed by a name, which was unknown to me, I naturally asked, had the person recently escaped from a lunatic as\ inm X How was I surprized to be informed that the gentle- man was one. of the justices of the peace for the county, and possessed, bv consequence, of respect- able character, station, and sense. Thus informed,- felt it imperative upon me publicly to notice his as- persions. I must then openly declare, that it is a most foul, malignant, and base calumny, which t pel with the indignity becoming an Englishman— » ecomi: tg a son, revering the honour of his parents—- coming a man venturing to offer himself candidate for an honour, which, were such allegation true, lie could not receive. It is a gross imposition on the freemen of Liverpool. Born an Englishman, of English parents of unsullied reputation ; educated n England— 1 have imbibed live principles of the English Constitution, and I never even left the English shore until education, and the intercourse of society, had assured and fixed in my breast those principles. Good God ! could I possibly have sat 25 yeaj- s iu Parliament, under the sufferance of such a moral disease? Its very absurdity might, have guarded a man, in the station of a magistrate, from entertaining such a supposition. The gallant colonel, for such also I understand he was, ought to know, that the law of the country disqualifies such a person even from holding land, and that it is in the power and right of every person in the community to in- form, in such a case, by which be will be entitled to a large reward out. of the consequent forfeiture. have a right to complain that the person making such a charge is not here in person to confront me, and to apologize to the freemen, if not to me, for the imposition which he has attempted to practise upon tisem," Inj| other parts of his address, Mr. Huskisson as triumphantly; and decidedly refuted and exposed some further liberal assertions of his galled oppo- nents ; and in reply to some observations that had been made as to his support of the. late war, which had so greatly increased the burdens of the country, be said— " I have much pain in hearing here, and in other places, that the debt contracted for the prosecution of this necessary struggle, the country is absolutely unable to pay. I deny this. The country is capable of discharging^ and will discharge, honourably, her engagements. This is not a time to bold language calling in question, and thereby in some degree weakening, public credit. In England, credit is power. We know not how soon we may be obliged to have recourse to it. England is powerful enough by her own internal strengthen a patriotic and vigor- ous population, to secure herself I'rptri any danger that might threaten her on her shores; but without having recourse to the power which she derives from her credit, she might not be able to maintain that station which she has long held in the world, if, un- happily, the cloud that lowers should burst over Europe. It is not, therefore, the part of the wise or the patriotic to utter any thing at this critical mo- ment against that great bulwark of our power— our-, credit ; by which, in times that are past, some more remote, some recent, we have been enabled to sop- port the feeble, to raise the fallen, to maintain the character of the benefactress of nations. I mark the comfort and prosperity of the country rising from their depression. 1 mark the improvement of the revenue, admitting, as we are told by the King's Speech it will, of a Considerable remission of tax- ation I mark the growing* resources and energy of the country. I see no marks of the depression of public credit. Let me not, therefore, be censured that I assert our ability to meet all our engagements, and that I will vote for every measure which tends to give this opinion assurance.*' In consequence of the lamented death of E. B. Portman, Esq. late M. P. for Dorset, Mr. Bankes, Member for Corfe Castle, has offered himself for the representation of that county. AT DABIJASTON, IN THE PARISH OF PREES, SALOP.

Extensive Fraud.— At the Insolvent Debtors' Court, London, on the 7th inst. William Angus was opposed by Mr. Adolphus and Mr. Pollock, on behalf of Mr Jordan, an extensive merchant at Liver- pool, with whom the insolvent had lived as clerk for 20 years, at a progressive salary. Every confidence, was placed in him, and it was bis business to. pay and receive money on account of bis employer; aud such was the reliance on the part of Mr. Jordan, that he seldom investigated his books; hence it was that forced balances were made by ibe ' insolvent to the amount of £ 7600, for which defalcation be was called to account. The insolvent said, he was entirely at a loss to state how or by w hat means he had disposed of the money, but he admitted the deficiency to the full extent, barring* abyiit £ 1000 salary and money paid which would lessen it. He lamented the error [ into which he had fallen, and which must have arisen from a want of caution in not taking sufficient care of the drawers where money was deposited, and trusting too much to a junior clerk, who bad died since be ( the insolvent) had been in custody. The Commissioners said they could not entertain such a petition and schedule ; the hearing mint, therefore, be adjourned, in order that the insolvent might fil « ah account of what had become of this property ; and it was a mercy to him that they did not. dismiss his petition at once. Mr. Heath, on behalf of the In- solvent, said the petitioner had admitted the defal- cation, and was ready to receive the judgment of the Court. The Chief Commissioner observed, that if such a course were adopted, it would only be neces- sary for insolvents to get involved in debt, and then come before the Court without any account, and pray for its judgment, and then go back to prison and spend tlie money.— The order of the Court v\ as, that the case be adjourned generally, and the insolvent to give fourteen days' notice to the opposing 0. editor. Petitions against the Insolvent Debtors* Acts have become general throughout the kingdom; and sincerely do we hope that their prayer will be impartially listened to, temperately discussed, and effectually redressed.— From the Petition of the Bristol merchants, agreed to on Tuesday last, we select the following- strong features of unexag-- gerafed facts:— < s That sense of shame and pride of character which distinguished the British Trader, and forms one of the best securities of commercial credit, is now so far. undermined, that it. is become no un- common pr^ tice for Debtors to threaten having recourse to the benefit of the Acts, if pressed for payment of their Debts: and, in availing them- selves of such benefit, care is taken either to dissipate what remains of their property, or ( by deception and fraud) to prevent any material por- tion of it: from devolving to their • Creditors. " Tlie consequences of which are,— That the number of Insolvencies are greatly increased — Debtors are rendered indifferent to their ci'rcum- stanees, and insolent in their onduct-. the spirit, of the fair Trader is broken and depressed— mutual confidence, so necessary in the conduct of matters of Trade, is destroyed— and, above aH, a < feg, rel- ation in tlie public morals is produced, which threatens to prove ruinous to the best interests of, the State."

Charles Edward Rogier, Win. Humphry, Fre- derick Oldiield, Richard Bennett, and Thomas Carlos, were brought up to receive the judgment of the Court this morning, having been convicted on an indictment preferred against them by a gen- tleman of the name of Woodrnffe, for keeping gaming- houses in Pall- Mall and St. James's- street. The Loan CHIEF Jusnoa having read the notes of the trial, affidavits were pat in by the defendants in mitigation of punishment. Frederick Oldfield deposed, that he had with- drawn from any concern in the gambling- house iu 162}, and had embarked his property in trade; that lie had a wife and seven children all dependent on him for support'; that he was in very indigent circumstance;:, aud laboured under a determination of blood to the head ; aad that any serious tine or imprisonment would be ruinous to himself and his family. Richard Bennett deposed, that he had withdrawn from the gaming- house iu September, 1821; that lie bad a wife, seven children, and ari aged mother, ail dependent upon him for support, and that he was afflicted with periodical, fits sf gout,; and any lengthened imprisonment would terminate his existence. Thomas Carlos deposed, that he had been for thirty years in his Majesty's service; that he had nerved a considerable time in the West Indies, and also during the rebellion in Ireland ; that he had a tvite, who was in a most delicate state of health ; and that bis income would not more than pay his debts. Mr. Woodrnffe ( the pro ecutor) put in an affi- davit in aggravation, which stated that lie bad seen several'in these houses in a state of intoxi- cation; that lie sometimes had seen yonng men almost in a state of madness; and that the defend- ants had accumulated a considerable property by means of their unlawful occupations. Sir. C U it wo o D and Mr. LAWES addressed the Co. rt in mitigation of punishment; and Mr. CHARLES PHILLIPS in aggravation. Mr. Justice BAYLEY then proceeded to deliver the following judgment upon the defendants. You are here to receive the sentence of the Court, having been convicted on an indictment preferred against you by a person of the nape of Woodrofi'e, upon whoni'stroug censures have been cast in the course of this trial. But when the Court comes to pro- nounce' a sentence, they are to look at the offence, and not at the motives of the prosecutor. But at the same time the. Court cannot fail to remark that, whatever may be bis motive, when a man brings forward into a Court of Justice a public delinquent, he is a great well- doer to thejpumid. Your offence has been rightly described of the most serious nature, greatly prejudicial to the interests of the community— one which heaps ruin not only on the persons who are actually engaged in the vice of gambling, but oil all their friends and connexions. You have been charged with keeping a common gaming- house, and observations have been made bv yilur Learned Counsel that it was not a legal offence, but if he looked into the references of the books from which he cited, ho would find that for the. last one hundred years keeping such houses is an offence at common law. You have stated in your affidavits that you did not know such houses were unlawful, but what was the necessity of bar- ring the doors, of using extraordinary force, aud observing the utmost caution to exclude the law officers?' Yon have talked of the distress of your wives and children, but you never seem to have been sensible of the feelings of the wives and children of those unhappy men, whom houses such as you have kept have involved in ruin. The Court has attended to all the circumstances in the affidavits, and, in consequence of the represent- ations with respect to ill health, they have come to this decision : — That you, Charles Rogier, be imprisoned for the term of twelve months in the Cold- Bath- Fields prison, and pay a line of £ 5100 to the King. That yon, William Humphry, be imprisoned for the spacc of two years in the same place, and pay a fine of £ 200 to the King. That you, Frederick Oldfield, be imprisoned in the custody ofthe Marshal of the Marshalsea, for the space of one year, and pay a fine of £ 1,000 to the King. That you, Richard Bennett, be imprisoned in the custody of the Marshal of the Marshalsea, for twelve months, and pay a line of £ 1,000 to the King. That you, Thomas Carlos, be imprisoned 18 calendar months in the Cold- bath- fields House of Correction, and that you pay a fine of ^ 500 to the King. And that you all procure securities fur your good behaviour tor the space of five years ; each of you to enter into your own recognizances in the sum of £ 2,000, and to procure two sureties of £ 1,000 each ; and that you remain in prison until the fines are paid. The Court does not pass upon you, as it will feci constrained to do upon others, if they should be brought before them, a sentence of hard labour. The reason is, that although an Act of Parliament has passed, awarding such a penalty, yet it did not receive the Royal Assent until August, 1822, This offence was prior to that punishment ; hut the Court wishes to have it publicly known, that this is the punishment to which such offences are liable. The defendants were then all removed from the Court, evidently surprised and dejected at the sentence which had been passed upon them. Parliamentary Reform. On Tuesday the resident Electors of Southwark assenih ed in their Town Hall, to p tition for a Reduction of Taxation aud a Parliamentary Reform.— The Petition was very appropriately proposed by a Mr. litact, and seconded by a Mr. Batter.— Mr. J. ELLIS objected to the Petition, because it did not suggest any specific measure.— Mr. ARROTVSMITU proposed, as a proper form of relief, a gradual reduction of the interest of die public debt, until it should be brought down " below nothing!" Mr. A. imputed the calamities of the country to the corruption of the press in an equal degree with the corruption of the House of Commons.— Mr. CA i. VBRTspoke in favour of some prompt measure of Reform — Sir R. WILSON followed on the same side. In the course of bis speech he hinted the possibility that the approaching condition of affairs in Spain may call upon him to resign the representation of Soothwark. From this intimation, it is supposed that Sir Robert's services are likely to be required by the present Spanish Government. O. i Monday, the iOth iltsfl. a meeting of the " freeholders and other iuhalntuols" of ' he county of Surrey was convened lit Epsom, in piiisnanee of a nqiiistli'mi to the High Sheriff, for the purpose of tailing into consideration tin- present distressed stale of Agriculture, ami tlie necesMty of a Reform in ihe House of Commons;.— A great crowd was present, ami il rallied during the w hole uf ilie meeting. Lord KING came forwind, and, after a speech of some length, proposed a petition setting forth the ruined state of Agriculture, the pressure of taxation, the corruption of the House of Commons, and the neeessily for reducing the army, the colonial, the civil list, ami the revenue coile, lion establishments. ( lie petition then suggested a reform uf the House of Commons, a general system of economy ami re- trenchment, a reduction of pensions, places, and sinecures, and a sale of Crown aud Church Property to he applied to the public service, Mr. LEECH seconded ihe motion. lie said lie farmed 500 acres, and the expenses of cultivation left nothing for rent or profit. The notorious Mr. COCBETT then offered himsel' to the attention of Ihe meeting, and coulepded, lhat without a great reduction in the interest uf ll. e na- tional debt, there would be no use in a mere dinii.. notion uf taxes. In the first place, lie WHS an ail. vacate for a reform in Parliament, and then lie would rail for a reduction of ihe debt, Where was the equity of giving the public creditor three bushels of wheat now for every one bushel vvjiicit he ii. ul ad vmiced to the nation ? Yet to press this argument was called il breach uf faith ; it was no such thing. Mr. litrl'ke had uu. ee said, that I lie firs! laitli of a nation was pledged to the landlord, the farmer, ami ihe citizen, ami hot to the mere creditor uf the state. But w hen the calculation was euleied upon, lie would ask the fuiidholilei- what had become uf the amount received by him in the shape of what was called " sinking fund,"— a system which, in addilioii lo his interest, had greatly enhanced the value uf his stock? He then denied lhat there was any. real im- provement, as had been said by Ministers, in the commerce or iiuuiufa'ciures of the country.; and willi reference to the present petition, declnteil his con- currence in it, as fill' as the noble mover well!, hill recommended the addition lo llie petjlion uf tin se words iifler the words " Reform of Parliament''— Without which your petitioners can see no hope uf thai equitable adjustment with'regard lu the public debt, and with, regard to all contracts between man and man, which is absolutely necessary to the de- fence of the country against foreign foes, and to the restoration uf internal tranquillity." The Hon. HENRY GREY PUNNET seconded the amendment proposed by Cobbetl ! Lord Ei. LENBOiiOrr. ii said; he objected to the petition, hnl he should content himself with entering his solemn protest against llie principles which were advocated by the person ( Mr. Cobbett) who had just addressed litem. It was natural that that person should manifest a desire to deal out to the public creditors the same measure uf justice w hicli lie had dealt uut to his own in private life ( cries of' " hear," and some opposition). The people of England had ever been remarkable for maintaining a reputation in all their dealings uf being honest aud just, and he hoped th y would now not hazard that character bv listening to projects which, if adopted, would tie subversive of al) private and public faith, lie en- treated theni, therefore, not lu abandon Hie old maxim which they imhib' d in their childhood, that hones! v was the best policy; and, as they valued the character of their country, he implored them In reject ail amendment fraught Willi dishonour mid injustice. He called on them, in ihe name of honour— in the mime of their couitliun country— by every thing they held most dear— to reject this amendment with indignation. THE Hon HENRY GREY DBNKET siiiil, that as the seconder ofthe amendment, lie was hound to protect himself from the i uipii la I ion1 of sanction ing dishonour or injustice; the proposition was to save, not to plunder the people, was to protect the little which re- mained lo ihetit from being swept away in one general wreck. By the depreciation in the currency, every man's debt was doubled, ami his property out of which that deb! was to be paid, became at Ihe same moment diminished one half iu value. It was the double operation of such a system u hich hull effected a greater confiscation to the lauded property of the country thiiii had ever before been seen in the history of the world; He then defended llie pro- position before Ihe meeting, and said its adoption was the only course by which llie country would he enabled lu look I hose foreign tyrants in the face who were now about lo oppress and pillage Europe, atid would ultimately secure that domestic peace and tranquillity to which 1 lie people had beeii so liille necustume'd, owing to ihe misconduct of their government. On the subject uf parliamentary re- form, his opinions were well known; lie wished to see the House of Commons made, in fact, the organ of the public voice. The progress of information had put the people 50 years in advance of their rulers, and the old and corrupt system of jobbing, which llie government cherished, must yield 10 the spirit of the times, lie wished lo see every mail in the fair enjoyment of his rights and the full security of his property; anil it was on this nccumit he suppurted tile proposition before ihe meeting. Mr. COBBETT wished to be heard u moment in explanation. The Noble Lord ( Ellenborotigh) had asked about his debts— the Noble Lord had seen his petition to Parliament, in which he set forth, that his estate, which cost £ 30,000. was mortgaged anil taken by the mortgagee, for £ 13,000, leaving about • i- n V o II i ll ( i II •,:<! II fl < i » - vf » j » r for the Noble Lord's favour of his Hon Friend, Mr. fiennet's Place frill, which went lo eject from the House of - Commons 30 or 40 placemen, and lie hoped he would again bring it forward. [ Mr. Bennet here remarked that he cer- tainly should.'] lie was niixious to see the duration of Parliaments shortened., and householders i « ge- nerfd, under certain limitations, entitled to vote. Mr. Uoi )\ iii SumNKit ( the other County Member), amidst cjontiutied interruption expressed his opinion • against: the" design's of those who were ' generally termed Reformers. The Hi^' h Sheriff then put the petition of Lord King,-. which was agreed to by the meeting, with the exception of a few dissentients. The' Hi oh Sheriff declared the petitioii to have been carried. the High Sheriff ihen put Cobbetfs amendment . to tiie Meeting-, and the shew of hands was as general in its favour !•! The High Sheriff declared the petition and." amendment to have heen carried by a large ma- u joii'ty ; but fie declined signing' either. The lioiv. II. G. BKNNKT proposed., that as the High Sheriff declined taking any step that might appear to make h< m a party to the petition, the petitjon should be signed'i> y five persons on the part of ihe Meeting-. Lord E'c/. sNmioiTO-. fr< iB suggested that the freeholders should he separated from others who were present, as had been done at a Sleeting- two years ago Mr COBBKTT wished to remind the High Sheriff, that the requisition embraced freeholders and other inhabitants-. tfe Voujd avail himself of this o|> r. portunijy, of. saving-, tlmt unless, the proposition wjiicfi lie bad had the honour of submitting, to the .

L then addressed the meeting re- commending unanimity, and cautioning the people against the artifices of pretended reformers. " Sir THOMAS TUIITON said i! was impossible they could be unanimous when such nionslrons proposi. lions were pressed upon their collsideraliuii. He professed himself to be a firm friend lo rational re form, though lie haled all wild and visionary the- ories. [ Here some altercation arose between Sir Thomas Turton and Mr. Leech, in which the latter charged the former with misrepresenting him.] He ridiculed ihe idea thai parliamentary reform would furnish a panacea for nil their grievances, and com pared such a proposition to the delusion practised upon the starving peasantry of Ireland, that Catholic emancipation would alleviate all the evils which afflicted them. Mr. DCXISON ( one of Ihe Members for the County), said, that he should detain them only a few moments while lie adverted to ihe two great questions of par- liamentary reform anil Jagriculliiral dishes*. That the present condition of the country had been caused by immense taxation, and by Ihe operation of the two fatal currency acts of 1797 and 1S10, was, he thought, capable of demonstration: sooner than to have adopted the act of 1810, it would have heen better at once to have raised llie standard of the cur- rency, and then all classes would have suffered alike. The long war in which the country had been engag- ed, in a" ninnner so glorious for their arms, but so filial to their pockets ( hear, and a laugh)— that war, which had drawn out those continental sovereigns who now waged War against ihe cause of liberty, ami who had'heeii in their turn Ihe senile allies of Bonaparte iu his fleeting hour of prosperity, and who now, without possessing his talcing or his energies, were the close imitators of his contempt fur the liberties and independence of oilier nations ( cheirs) — that war bail, he repealed, imposed severe and intolerable hardships upon ihe cunntry. Added In these evils was the profligate expenditure of the government. Many years ago the Society of ihe Friends of the People offered to prove at the bar of Ihe House of Commons that 307 members of thai House were returned by 151 individuals, and tllat S5 of these members annually put into their pockets £ 170,000 of the public money. These members mig'lit very well represent those who sent them to parliament, but tlicy could never he said to echo the public voice. A reformed house of parliament would make the expenditure of the country suit its means : if it raised particular salaries at one time to meet the rise of prices, it would have lowered them again when those prices had fallen ( hear, hear). There were two other topics upon which lie should barely touch— namely, the property of the church and the funds. With respect to ihe clergy, lie should say, that they had jusi as good right to their livings, and the fuiidholder likewise to his dividends, as any nobleman in the. land bail lo the produce of his estates; and, before he would consent to touch one farthing ot' such properties, he would call for a re, diietion of expenditure in every branch of the stale ll would then be seen how the country stood : but in the proposition before them he saw nothing of robbery— il merely called for ail " equitable adjust- ment" of the public debt, and he saw nothing so startling in such n proposition. For Parliamentary Reform he bad always been a steady advocate, and had, so far bock as 1797, voted for Lord ( Srey's plan of Reform. He had also voted for Lord John Rus- sell's, which went to disfranchise a certain number of rotten boroughs, and to transfer ihe representation to the large manufacturing towns. He was also in This matter has been repeatedly agitated before the Lords of the Treasury, since the middle of last July ; Mr. Harrison and Dr. Jeitner having appeared as Counsel on behalf uf Licot.- Genersil Sir Tliumas Hi slop, and the army of ihe Oecean ; Mr. Adam and Dr. Lusliingtou on behalf of ihe Marquis of Hastings and the Grand Army ; and Mi. Sergeant Bosanqnet nil behalf of the East India Company. The property was captured al Nagpore, Puonnh, Maliedpon:, and oilier places, iu ihe course of the Pindaric win. between the 20th of October, 1SI7, and the 31st of March, 1818, audit was of very large naioiinl. Rv Ihe law and coiistitillutiuil of llie British Empire, ali property captured from a public enemy, by laml or sea, belongs, in ihe first instance, to the Crown; whose interest is only divested by its own act, cither as a constituent branch of the Legis- lature, ur as a spontaneous grantor. No statute applies to mere land prize, or booty, like the present ; and ihe question, therefore was, lo w hom, and upon whal principles the Crown, acting under the advice of the Lords of the Treasury, should make a grant of this large properly ? In former cases of Indian capture, where ihe grant was comparatively small, the Cruwn ( we understand) had heen in the habit of granting a part uf Ihe captured properly to ihe East India Company, who distributed il among life eaplors, or utiieii, as they Ih'Oiiglit fit ; but the first point determined by the Lords uf ihe Treasury, in llie present instance, was, lliat the homily of the Crown ( for such it is) should proceed directly from ( he King lo Ihe captors ; arid therefore lhat it would be inexpedient to advise his Majestv to grant any part of the sum iu question to the Eiisl India Cullipany. The next question was, who were to be cunsidered as captors? and this was a matter of great nicety; depending uut only on ihe principles applied lo analogous cases of actual or constructive capture, hut also on a large mass of evidence as to the facts, which might or might nut bring the case within the range of those principles. Their Lordships thought generally, that actual capture should he taken as Ihe primary ground of claim to reward ; and that Ihe principle of con- structive capture admitted, in a variety of shapes by the Courts which have to decide similar questions, should not he extended, bill rather limited, and ren- dered subordinate lo the former principle. Upon the first and main ground their Lordships then determined — 1. Thai the separate divisions of the Deecan army should share, for the booty actually captured by each respectively ; and their Lordships therefore over- ruled aii agreement which was entered into for the who'e of the Deceaa army, tu share with each other; considering, that in case of such sharing, there could he no equitable reason why their Lordships shniild not advise lhat all the troops from the different Presidencies should be allowed lo pariicipate. 2. Thai Sir Thomas llislop having been Com mander- in- Chief of the IJcccan army iiulil the 31st of March, 1818, was, with his Staff, entitled to share, as an actual captur, iu ail the booty taken by the' separate divisions of that army. Upon the ground of a constructive capture, ap- proaching in its cireiiuistunces and meriis lo an actual capture, ihe Lords held that as General llardymaii, w ith his division of the grand army, was marching towards Nagpore to co- operate with a division of the Deecaii army in the reduction of that place, and as he actually hail an engagement with a body of the enemy nil his way, before the capture, iliis was such ii constructive, or rather actual assist- ance,!^ would entitle him and his division lo share in that portion of the booty which was taken at Nagpore. Of course these decisions exclude the Marquis of Hastings, and the grand army ( except General Hardymuirs division), from any share in the Royal bounty.

The House was this day engaged for the most part with some Irish questions, that " afforded no oppor- tunity for impoitant discussion— Mr. G6ui. BUtttf moved - for leave to bring': in a bill for the renewal of the Ii'i: vh Yeomanry Act,—"! Yir. lIcMB objected to the measure on the ground of expense, and undue influence; aud Mr. S. RICB intimated an objection to the arming" of the Northern yeomanry— twenty thousand in number, and almost all orangemeu.— M r. < V. EITZGF. FCALD defended the measure. The Irish Grown lands, and the office of Vice Treasurer of Ireland, were also brought under the consideration of the House.— Mr. HUME avowed an intention of proposing- the suppression of the office of Vice Treasurer of Ireland, and of proposing an immediate sale of the English and Irish Crown Lands in liquidation of the public debt.— Mr. GOUL- BDRN said, there was no backwardness on the part of Government in- disposing' of Crown Lands when they could find purchasers ; and if the Hon. Gent. ( Mr. Hume) should get an Act passed for their im- mediate and peremptory sale, he must pass another measure to furnish himself with purchasers, if tie meant to " sell them to the advantage of the country. HOUSE OF COMMONS— WEDNESDAY. FOREIGN TRADE. Mr. WALLACE, in moving- for the re- appointment of the Foreign Trade Committee, took a review of the commercial situation of the country, during the last eight'or nine years, and submitted the most gratify- ing proof of its now rapidly increasing prosperity. Ihe general exports of the country, he Observed, in the four years, from 183,5 to 1819, had decreased fourteen millions iu official value ; from January 5th, 5819, to January 5th, 1820, the export trade fell no less tha'ii eleven millions; and from the 5th January, lb& O, to tlie 5th January, 1821, there was a decrease of £ 8,029,029. Hetice the severe distress which visited every class of the manufacturing- population during- that period. The recovery, from that depres- sion has, however, been rapid and extraordinary, for the exports of last year not only exceeded those of all the years which have been mentioned, but those of the most flourishing- year which the country bad known during- the continuance of the war. This shewed the wonderful energies of the- country, and the inexhaustible resources which lie at the com- mand of her- ingenuity and enterprise. In further elucidating the prosperous state of our coairnerce, Mr. Wallace observed, that in all the material articles there had been a large increase. The export of cottons had increased 10 percent.; of hardware 17 per cent.; of linen's 12 per cent.; and of woollens 13- per cent.; while the aggregate exports of 1822 exceeded < hose of 1820 by 20 per cent, arid those of 1821 by 7 per cent, notwithstanding a deduction was to be made from the exports of one great article, refined sugar, ov^ ing to a prohibitory decree of Russia, amounting" to, at least, 35 per cent. Such ( continued Mr. \ V.) was the state of the export trade at the present moment; and it could not fail to strike- 1toe Observation of every' Member in the House, that we held that trade, at the present moment, upon a very different tenure from that upon which we held it during' the " war. At that titne w e were almost the only nation in the world that bad any foreig'ti trade at all; at present, we had to stand against the competition of every other nation ; and happy was he to perceive that we could stand against it with every prospect of success. To make our actual pro- spects still more satisfactory, nothing more was necessary than to institute a revision of our com- mercial system, to remove the greater part of our prohibitory laws and restrictions, and to put our- selves in ii > i nation which would enable us to avail ourselves of the chances and contingencies, which ihe state of the world seemed ready to open to the commercial skill and entei'prize of England. Mr. BARING, Mr. RICARDO, Mr. BUTTER WORTH, Mr. T. WILSON, and MI- HUME, rose and compli- mented Mr. Wallace for the exertions he had made for the good of the country; and much regret was expressed that, from recent official changes, Mr. W. had been removed from his situation, of Vice- Presi- dent of the Board of Trade. Mr. CANNING assured the House, that no effort should be left untried on the part of the King's Government, to replace Mr. Wallace- in an office equal to his high abilities aud eminent services. UEUT- GENERAL OF ORDNANCE. . Mr. LUSIIINGTON having moved that the House should resolve itself into a Committee of Supply, Mr. HUME rose, and said he should oppose the motion. • The Speeches from the Throne had, for years, spoke of economy, yet no system of economy had been adopted. A proof of this was o- iven within these few days, in the appointment of Lord William Beresford to the'post of Lieut.- General of the Ordnance— an office that ought to he dispensed with altogether; and which appointment, there conid be no doubt, was solely owing- to the powerful support which Lord William's family had given to the Ministers and to their measures. Mr, Hume concluded by moving- ^ resolution that the appointmont. of Lord William Beresford to be Lieut,- General of Ihe Ordnance was unnecessary, inconsistent with the professions of economy in the recent speech from the Throne, aud required the fullest explanation. Mr. CANNING said, the mode adopted hy the Hon. Member of bringing' forward a motion without notice was unparliamentary ; and from this c iron in- stance he ( Mr. C.) was not prepared as lie ought to enter into detail iu defence of the continuance of the office. The statement tfiat the Ministerial services of his family had gained Lord William the appointment was most untrue: the valour and public services of Lord William were well known to the country : the place which lie had received was in the gift of the Duke of Wellington, an eye- witness of his services in the field ; and on whom could he bestow it more properly than on one of his companions in arms and in glory ? But to shew the fallacy of the Hon. Mem- ber's assertion, he would just observe, that the place' had been offered to Lord H'opetown, and then to Lord Hill, before it was given to Lord William Beresford. Mr. BROUGHAM, Mr. WARRB, aud Mr. ABEKCROM BIE Considered Mr. Hume's motion ill timed. Sir ll. FERGUSON, the Hon. 11. G. BENNET, and the Hon; C. H. HUTCHINSON were in favour of Mr. Hume's motion for explanation as to the necessity of tlVe appointment. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT said, no beneficial result could be derived from Mr. Hume's motion, tie was himself prepared to support every proposition for a reduction of expenditure; but the grievances that should call upon the House to stop the supply to the Crown, must be not only acknowledged, but monstrous. At a moment like the present, circum- stanced as the country was with regard to its foreign relations,- he could not support Mr. Hume's motion. After having-, a few days ago, called upon the Government of the country to support the dignity, the honour, and the interest of the rtlalm, he could not now turri round and refuse the Crown the means of supporting- lhat honour or upholding' that dignity. Mr. Hu3ik withdrew bis motion. Speech of M. DE TA LLEYRJIND. [ From the Paris Papers of Feb. 7.] The following is the Speech of Prince Talleyrand, delivered on the occasion of the French Chamber of Peers taking into consideration the project of the Address to he presented in answer to the King of France's Speech :— " MY LORDS— Sixteen years have elapsed this day, since, invited by him who then ruled the world, to state my opinion relative to the. contest, about to be engaged with the people of Spain, I had tlve mis- fortune to excite bis displeasure by unfolding'futurity to his view ; by disclosing to him all the dangers which would spring up on all sides during an attack not less unjust than rash and presumptuous. Dis- grace was the reward of my sincerity. The regula- tions of destiny are extraordinary— after so many years I am again called upon to renew the same efforts, to urge the same councils to our legitimate . Sovereign. " The Speech from the Throne has caused the last hope of ali the friends, of peace nearly to vanish. It threatens Spain ; and my duty obliges me to say that it seems to me alarming to Fiance. At all events war has not yet broken forth. Peers of Prance, one moment remains, one moment is left to you, to save the King, to save your country from the risk of so dangerous an enterprise; hasten then t< « make use of it— to fulfil the most sacred of duties, to undeceive the King, abused as he is vvith respect to the wishes of France, the wants of his people, his own peculiar interests, and not less than with regard to the slate of Spain which is now represented to him as en- feebled by intestine dissensions. " The wish of France— it is almost superfluous to say it— the wish of all France \ a for peace. Sated vvith the glory of arms she fluttered herself, that under the Government of her King, she should he enabled to recruit, during the leisure of peace, the strength wasted iu a war of thirty years. All tiie parties of this vast empire, composed as they are of so many various interests, are unanimous on this question. Lille thinks as Strasburg, Lyons as Bor- deaux, Marseilles as Grenoble. The most furious party spirit cannot deny this truth. " And how could it be otherwise? Has not the merchant of Bordeaux and of Marseilles, in ibis case, the same interest as the manufacturer of Lyons and of Roil en ? Is not the one threatened with having all the treasures which he intrusts to the sea, snatched from him ? Does net the other see the moment ap- proaching when his manufactories must close, which have hitherto formed ihe source of his glory and of the prosperity of his country ? IShall l speak of that part of the population which derives its support from daily labour ? u Each individual belonging to this class already knows, by the reduction of a part of his labours, that iu future he will receive only a' portion of those earnings which are necessary for the support of his family, and that he m'a- yi, from day to day, be deprived of the last resource. Can you suppose, my Lords, that agricuituie will be more for turn te'— that, it will escape the dangers" which tinea ten commerce and industry? In our perfected system of society all classes are united in one chain of general welfare; The embarrassments of the mercantile will be felt by the class of cultivators} and our agriculture, too, will find a loss in the members. who will go to destruction in the desolate plains of the Peninsula. O that the powerful of the earth could count up the suffrages at this dreadful moment! On one side is an united people : on the other— what shall I say ? — are some individual interests, who struggle to make a restoration, concurred in by all for the general benefit of society, subservient to their own private ad vantage. Those self- same chivalrous sen- timents, which in 1789 attracted the hearts of the generous, and seduced the imagination of the en- thusiastic, yet could not preserve the legitimate Monarchy, may again destroy itiu 1823, notwithstand- ing France wants to preserve its legitimate Monarchy. My Lords, the question of war is not, as some have been pleased to say, a question of dynasty; it is a question of party alone. The interests of Royalty are not at stake : no, but the interests of a party, steady U) its old hatred, fixed in its old prejudices, and which is less eager to maintain than to re- con- quer— it is a retaliation which some seek to take on the height of the Pyrenees. " And what are the motives urged to induce France— France so happy, so tranquil, so prosper- ous, to expose herself to the risk of a war against Spain? Of what has France to complain ? All is reduced to this simple proposition The Spanish Charter is full of imperfections. " I agree in that proposition, it is full of imper- fections. But when have neighbouring nations re- ceived the authority of exacting from an independent people the reformation of their political laws? If this theory be admitted, what becomes of the inde- pendenceof nations ? What extraordinary reformers, what wonderful Lycurguses will not 100,000 soldiers form ?— especially when 100,000 are ready to follow in their track ? Where is he who can be deceived by this political Quixotism ? Is it thought that the secret of this new Crusade will long continue a mystery in the eyes of the people of all countries? No, no, my Lords ^ Spain has conquered freedom for herself; Spain is no longer overrun by privileged individuals; she affords a spectacle intolerable to pride ; it cannot be tolerated; and what is to lie ihe event ? In Spain, what was ineffectually attempted in France is to be attempted, viz.— a coiintei- rcvolil- fidence in the fidelity of his subjects, to whose courage and attachments lie wished to owe his liber- ation. This last observation, notwithstanding the difference of the times, affords you many opportu- nities for companion." Our readers are aware, that, as stated in out- last Journal, Ihe amendment proposed by Baratf de Barante, referred to by Prince de Talleyrand iif bis speech, was rejected by a majority of 9 i to 53s,' — A similar amendment was also negatived in the Chamber of Deputies by a large majority. PARIS, FEB. 10 — At half past eight o'clock yesterday evening, the Members of the Bureau of the Chamber of Deputies were presented to the King by the Minister of the Interior. The Presi. dent presented to his Majesty the following Speech : " SlRR,— It is with sentiments always of the most profound gratitude and love that your faithful sub- jects, the Deputies of the Departments, approach to depose at ihe foot of the Throne the homage of their* respect. " The necessity of the regular vote ofthe taxes made it our duty promptly to answer the summons. The approbation of the King, and the public welfare, are our recompense. " Under a firm and paternal Governmenl, the in- ternal situation of ihe kingdom could not fail of beiiw improved. The wisdom and courage of the fllao- i"- trates, the loyalty of juries, whose consciences nothing has intimidated, have defeated conspiracies wherever found, and justice has destroyed ihe hope of impunity entertained by the factious " Sire, it was reserved to the most Christian Kino- lo raise our temples from their ruins. Thanks i?> your pious solicitude, religion daily re- assumes lhat salutary influence which inspires men with more attachment to their dnlies— more respect for the laws of their country. The conventions recently Concluded b. v vour Majesty with llie Holy See, have restored to your churches their former pastors. Soon will labour and- indigence find, throughout even the provinces, the connotation and relief of which they have been so long deprived. " The Ordinances of your Majesty, Sire, have prepared new means cf economy ami tised order in the pubi ic accounts. Henceforth France will tie better informed of the legal appropriation of the public fluids. She already enjoys tlm fruits of tiie progressive improvements of IheAdiiiiuislraiion, ami au excess of 40 millions above the credits opened in 1822 attests the prosperous state of our finances. " Yes, Sire, it is by ihe return to religion, IN legitimacy, and t » order, that this fine Fiance, enjoy- ing, at length, real liberty, shews to Europe how public calamities may be redeemed. " Why should the example of our present pro- sperity and the lessons of our past misfortunes he lost upon a neighbouring State, whose independence we do not question? lint can we see without alarm the discords w hich devour her, aud abandon nurse] n a lo the dangers with which we are menaced by tiie calamities which afflict her? " Destined by Providence to close the abyss of re- volutions, your Majesty, in your paternal solicitude, has made every effort to guarantee your subjects, and save Spain hersrlf from the disastrous effects o'f ihe rebellion of a band of perjured soldiers. A blind infatuation has rejected the counsel of the chief of the august family of'Ihe Bourbons. " Sire, we are Frenchmen; no sacrifices will he considered too greal hy your subjects to d. fend Hie dignity of your Crown, am! the honour and security of France. " It is to your Majesty, Sire, that it belongs to deliberate; it is for us to concur, by all our efforts, in the noble enterprise of suppressing anarchy, to re- cognise peace alone, to restore to liberty a Prince of your blood, to insure the repose of Spain, to consoli- date lhat of France, to deliver from the yoke of oppression a magnanimous people, who assisted ns to burst our own fetters, and who can only receiia from their legitimate Sovereign institutions conform- able lo their views anil manners Sire, your courageous and faithful ariny, which knew how to contemn the dastardly insinuations of revolt, goes forth vviih arrfonr. Coder ihe banner of the lilv, at llie voice of your Majesty— guided hy a Prince that your heart and vour subjects delight in calling vonr son, this nohle'staiidard will onlv pro- claim enemies lo the factious. " We return thanks toyonr Majestv for the precau- tions which yon have taken to protect our Maritime Commerce. Your prescient wisdom watches over all our interests, and ihe naval forces of your Majesty, which have so often afforded timely aid lo humanity, will maintain with equal devotion the honour of lite French flag. " Sire, your faithful subjects, the Deputies of the Departments, deeply affected bv yourltoval promises. Will repeal them lo your people. They will tell them lhat the most just of Kings wills Ihe assembling and maintenance of his armies only w nil ihe view of pre- serving social order, and defending our country and institutions from all contagious and disorganizing principles." ° n The King replied : " I received with the greatest pleasure, the ad. dress of the Chamber of Deputies. I shall lie faith- ful to the engagements which I have contracted; but whatever may happen, il is from my intimate union with the legislative Chambers that will result the internal prosperity, aad external consideration, of France."

Bi 3* w 1 w AQ INSOLVENT DEBTORS' ACT — OnTuesday, the 11th instant, a meeting of the inhabitants of Hereford took place in the Guild Hall, for the purpose of petitioning for the repeal of the Insolvent Debtors' Act. Edward Bulmer, Esq. Mayor, took the chair, and opened the business of the meeting; when Thomas Bird, Esq. rose and stated that he had pre- pared resolutions and a petition for the approbation of the meeting'; previous to reading them, however, he related the following case, which had come under his own notice A tradesman in Monmouthshire was indebted to a friend of his £ 100 and upwards : after very long credit he received a hint that it was expected he should pay a considerable part of it, bis ability to do which he had all along admitted; but ail of a sudden he informed his creditors he was unable to pay more than 3s. in the pound, which being refused, he procured himself to be arrested. His creditors soon after received notice that he was a prisoner in Horsemonger- lane Prison, Surrey ; that he intended taking- the benefit of the Insolvent Act ; and that lie would be brought up for a hearing on the 12th of August last. Mr. B.' s friend, who was a principal creditor, determined to oppose his discharge, having previously subpoenaed the person who had arrested him to go up as evidence, but that person chose in preference to send the prisoner's discbarge two or three days before he was to be brought up for a hearing. The opposing creditor still determined if possible fo make an example of the would- be Insolvent, took out a commission and had bim declared a bankrupt. The debtor then be- came alarmed, and previous to the meeting' ofthe commission he voluntarily paid each of his creditors 20 shillings in the pound, and had subsequently paid and given satisfactory security for upwards of ^ 130 towards the expenses of the commission ! The suc- cess of the petitioning creditor was wholly to be attributed to the indefatigable exertions and una- nimity of the three principal creditors, one of whom actually rode upwards of 1400 miles on the occasion. The resolutions and petition proposed by Mr. Bird were seconded by Br. Hwghe$ and carried unani- mous! v » " I am well aware that the invisible movers in this grand conspiracy against the liberties of the people are not so stupid as to aspire to any success by the sole efforts of their partisans ; what then is in reality the support on w hich they rest their last hopes"? They do not know it: they would shudder if they were required to state it truly. My Lords, that sup- port, without which they are nothing, is the support of foreigners. Let it not be said that this hypothesis is a chimera ; this parricidal wish has been avowed in the Papers of the day, those cheerless echoes of the passions which agitate the SUJface of pur native land. " But what is the pay of the foreigner on whom they will be compelled to place their last reliance? What is he to receive for his co- operation in these monstrous transactions? Who will pay his armies, who will provision them ? Assuredly il cannot be unfortunate Spain— she has no treasure, she lias scarcely enough to supply her own subsistence— she is rich in courage alone. " Prndeiiee forbids my entering into more ample developemeuts of Ihe dangers of war with Spain ; your intelligence and reflection will supply the de- ficiency. Ciil 1 have said enough to show lhat it Was my duly to appear in this Tribune. It belonged lo me, who am old — who respect France— who am de- villed to Ihe King and his Family— to me who have taken so prominent a part in the events of the double restoration— who by my efforts and, I venture to say it, by my successes, have placed all my glory anil my responsibility in ihe renewal of Ihe union between France and the House of Bourbon; to prevent as far as in me lay the work of wisdom and justice from being compromised by rash and foolish passions. " The King is deceived, my Lords; it is our duty to undeceive him. " He is told that his people wish for war; his people desire peace. " He is told that the honour of his crown is com- promised hy his not revenging Ihe insults offered to Ferdinand. His ancestor Louis XIV. did not revenge insults far more flagrant; and yet in a question of dignity Louis XIV. is a model not to be despised. The happiness of France is the glory of Louis XVIII. and he is worthy of enjoying it. " He is told that Spain, a prey lo anarchy, is dan- gerous to France. Let facts answer for themselves. Is it true that anarchical doctrines have made an alarming progress in France ? On ihe contrary, has not power made rapid conquests among us since the revolution of Spain ? " Let ns not be afraid, my Lords, to present the truth to our King; he never rejects it, aud it is in this confidence that I support tiie amendment which has just been proposed to you by the Baron de Baraute. May the majority of this Chamber be in- duced by their fidelity lo the King and the Chamber, to sanction it by their votes! " My Lords, I will only soy one word more, and it is to ask you whether 110 one has any doubts with respect to the secret wishes of Ferdinand VII. 1 permit myself a personal opinion on this point; I ground it on past events but too well known to me. Assuredly the King Of Spain was never more com- pletely deprived of all liberty than during Ihe seven years of his captivity at Valencay ; and I appeal to some of my noble colleagues to recat to their recol- lection that at that painful period neither their honourable names, nor their touching devotedness could inspire that Monarch with sufficient confidence to remove from his mind the impression, that ihe attempt which they were willing to make for his deliverance was nothing but an act of temerity of which he would he ihe victim ; and my personal re- lations with King Ferdinand have authorized me to t believe, that these refusals arose from a noble con. The late French and Prussian Ministers to the Court of Spain have arrived in France. The French Papers state, that they represent the present Government of Spain as extremely unpopular - t lhat as soon as the French forces enter Spain there is 110 doubt the Spanish Royalists will be joined by immense numbers ; and that the present system ii » Spain w ill be speedily overturned. ROYAL COURT, JERSEY, Jan. 14. The King v. T. Dumaresq and P. Coutancaur, alius Fras. Peyre.— The Grand Enquete assembled lo decide 011 the guilt or innocence of Messrs. Dumaresq and Contancaux. The Attorney- General read Ihe accusation against the prisoners; the principal counts of which were—" That since ihev had entered into partnership with Messrs. Joshua' Lcrrier and John Win. Dupre, in October, 1820, they had been guilty of the crimes of forgery, robbery,' swindling, and breach of confidence, in the following- manner, viz. that Thomas Dnninresq had drawn, in fictitious names, several hills of exchange, for considerable sums, lo the order of Peicr Coutancanx or others; anil tllat the said Coutancaux had sold or disposed of the said bills at the bank of ' Lcrrier, Dumaresq, and Co.' knowing them to he false, to ibe prejudice of the aforesaid Messcrs. Lerrier and Dupre. The prisoners persisting in their innocence, the deposi- tions of the witnesses anil other documents were read, from which it appeared that many bills entered in the Bank hooks as having been drawn on Mr. Poingdestrc, of London, for ±.' 10, £ 45, and £ 60 sterling each, had in reality been changed I17 Dumaresq into £ 100, £ 450, and £ 600 sterling each'; and that in forging signatures they had further defrauded the said bank of £ 2,000 sterling. It appeared, also, that Mr. Lerrier bail sustained" n loss of upwards of £ 10,000 sterling, and that Mr. Dupre had given a sum of £ 3,000 sterling to assist to pay the creditors; that llie latter had lost £ 3,000 ster- ling; and lhat the total loss sustained amounted to £ 18,000 sterling. The Enquete retired, and after 20 minutes con, sulfation, Thomas Dumaresq and Peter Coutancanx alias Francis Peyre, were declared to be " more guilty than innocent of the crimes laid to their charge." The sentence of Ibe Court was, lhat the. prisoners should be exposed in the pillory on the. Koyal Square, two successive Saturdays, from twelve till one o'clock ; that on the second Saturday they are to be flogged by the executioner, and' then banished for ever from the island, Saturday, the 18tli irlt they were exposed in the pillory, pursuant to sentence. The square win excessively crowded, as well as the windows and roofs of the surrounding houses ; and for one hour- the unhappy criminals were exposed to an incessant shower of snow- balls, the severity of which appeared to be directed principally against Coutancaiix, who suffered dreadfully in consequence. His month ears, and cheeks were severely lacerated, some of the snow- halls being so hard ' that they rebounded violently from the pillory ! His eves were blackened, and a severe blow which he received in ihe groin occasioned a temporary strangnary, which continued several hours, and he became delirious from ths severity of his punishment.
