SA TURD A Y, MARCH 2X A CURE FOR A QUINZEY. A GENTLEMAE a Quinzey had, and sorely it perplcx'd him, To peace a stranger night and day, it wearied and it vex'd him ; The Doctor tried his utmost skill, his efforts were in vain, Me only took away hisJee, but left behind the pain. The patient wns a man of wit. in dress extremely neat ; But now alas ! ' twas vain to dress him any thing to eat ; Tie could not swallow physic, so distressing was his case, He thought whene'er the Doctor came, death star'd him in the face. Tlie Barber he as usual came to ease him of his beard. And having exercis'd his skill, the Barber disappear'd ; Express'd his sorrow thus in pain a customer to find, lSut in his haste the Barber left his implements behind. A little nimble Monkey in the chimney- corner play'd, With on tilling eye the razor strop and lather- box survey'd ; And looking in bis Master's Boot, as bright as any glass, Jack made a Box of lather and then lather'd his own face. He stropp'd the razor carefully, began to scrape his chin, But razors bleed as well as ikAve, and Jack began to grin . His Master could not help but smile. to see what lie was at, And Jack, not liking much'Hie pain, prepar'd to shave the Cat. The Cat she kick'd, and loudly squall'd— she scratched tbe Monkey's foot, .••.,,>•• V-:. But Jack continued fast his hold, and dragg'd her to the Boot, He lather'd Puss, he shav'd awajr—- though painful was the joke. The Master burst into a laiigh, and thus the Quinzey broke.

" AGGREGATE COMMMITTEES of PUBLIC BODIES ofthe CITY of EDINBURGH, TO mm ** RESPECTIVE CONSTITUENTS. MART'S Caarct, Xtyi Alarcti, 1821. IT will be in the recollection of all persons inte- rested in the object with which the Aggregate Com- mittees were particularly charged,.— the attainment of a more liberal and enlightened system of town polity.— that the circumstance which led to tbe original appoint- ment oT Committees by the varit. os Public Bodies of this city, was the gratifying conduct of the late Lord Advo- cate of Scotland, in having recommended to the King in Council, to grant an alteration of its Sett to tlie Burgh of Montrose,— conduct for which his Lordship received the heartfelt thanks of most of the Burgesses of Scotland. At the first meeting ofthe Aggregate Committees, the course which they were to pursue for the - attainment of. tlye object in view Was maturely considered, and it appeared that this could be accomplished only in one of three ways. 1 st. By an application to the Conyention of Royal Burghs, to which the unanimous consent ofthe Town Council and Corporations was necessary. 2d'y, By an application to the King in Council, a3 had been done in the case of Montrose, for which it was ne- cessary that the Burgh as in that case, should be disfran- chised ; and, 3dli), By an application to Parliament, for which, at . that dine, there was no precedent, and which application there was no reason to believe would then be favourably received. The first of these was the one to which the attention of the Committees was primarily directed, but it was not in their power to ascertain, without considerable delay, whe- ther tbe necessary consent would be given or not. In the interim, it appeared' to be material not to allow the opportunity to be lost for disfranchising the. Burgli, which was afforded- by certain eirors committed, in tlie election of Magistrates at the Michaelmas preceding.— The disfranchisement ofthe Burgh would have g^ ven an opportunity of having recourse to the Privy Council for a new Sett ; and. at all events, the Committees conceived, that they would grant a poll election, by which a ". Magis- tracy might be appointed, w ho would concur witli the Burgesses in endeavouring to procure an improvident of the Sett of the Burgh. . /.-• While, therefore, the Committees gave instructions that a process for reducing the election of 1817 should be com- menced without delay, they at the same time directed ap- plication to be made to the Town Council, revesting to know, whether that Body would be inclined concur in an application to the proper quarter, forsuch. au alteration in the Sett of file Burgli as might be mutually agreed upon: The Aggregate Committees at tbe same time in- timated, that it was by no means their wish that the pro- cess of reduction should be followed out, and that it would immediately be abandoned, if the object in yiew could be attained by an amicable arrangement. All attempts? however, at an amicable arrangement having proved fruitless, the process was proceeded in with all possible dispatch ; and it is only nocessary here to say, that the result'ltas been such as to shew that the objections originally taken against the election of 1817 were com- pletely well founded ; and that the Committees availed themselves of every favourable opportunity to renew their assurances to tbe Magistrates that ttiey were ready and willing to abandon all legal proceedings, provided only that the Town Council, upon their part, woultl concur iu the necessary measures fur procuring an improvement in the Sett of the ISurgb. I tie interest which tbe proceedings in the burgh ot Montrose and in this Burgli excited, gave rise to nume- rous petitions to the House of Commons from the Bur- gesses, and from most of the Corporations of the Royal Burghs ; and such was tbe strength of the jtrinia facie case made out by the petitioners, that' Lord Archibald Hamilton succeeded in carrying a motion for the appoint- ment of a Committee of; that Honourable Ilou- se, to in- quire into the grievances complained of. '.^ Se, "'"- Respecting the proceedings in that quarter, it is unne- cessary here to do more than to sav, that they- have been such as to prove.- bt'yond the- possibility of do. ubfcpc. denial, the existence of evils for more serious than lovd even been alleged by the petitioners themselves, and oJVa nature which n'o person now can pretend to say do uot. require to be redressed. .. • . . ." Another great and important benefit has been secured to the cause of Burgh Reform by these legal proceedings, in the interest vvhich has been created in tbe House of Commons itself in this important question, and which cannot fail to sccuro to it the mature consideration of that august assembly, whenever it shall be brought fairly under their view-. While the law process was in dependence, several im- portant changes in the state of the getieral question of Burgh Reform took place, which tended materially to alter tbe views of the Committees, and to render a change in their measures expedient. In the^ rsf place, the Burgh of Aberdeen was disfran- chised. by a decree reducing the election of Magistrates at Michaelmas 1817 ; but in place of a warrant for a poll election being granted by the Privy Council, tbe old Magistrates were i. estpred. Ill the second place, by a similar event, tbe Burgesses of Inverness were enabled, in the year 1818, to apply to the Privy Council for a poll election, 1> ut the case of that Burgb lias not yet been disposed of, and it continues to the present day to be governed by Interim Managers ap- pointed by the Court of Session. In the third place, it never was by'arfy means clear, that the Privy Council have the legal right to alter the Sett of any Royal Burgli as w as done in the case of Montrose ; 4nd certain Burgesses of Edinburgh raised an action in the Court of Session, to have it found and declared that they did not pos- ess, that right. But the existence of this power uas rendered still more doubtful by the opinion lately expressed by the Lord President of the Court of Session, that tlie alteration granted to Montrose was al- together illegal, and that the altered Sett might be reduc- ed and set aside. These circumstances appeared to the Committees, and to those legal advisers on whose opinion they relied, to render the most complete success in the existing action of little or no avail ; while some persons were of opinion, that it might . even have an injurious effect upon any ulterior proceedings that might be adopted, a3 the Legislatuie might probably decline to enter on the consideration of the terms of a new Sett while the Burgh Was disfranchised, as then " the proper officers did not exist by whom the Cor- porate rights of the Burgh, as contradistinguished from the peculiar rights of the Corpoiatiuns, could be attended to. ' The Aggregate Committees having steadily followed out the law- process, so long as it appeared to them that the disfranchisement ofthe Burgh was calculated. to lead to a satisfactory result, and having constantly assured the Magistrates and their fellow, citizens, not- only that they wcr. e willing, but that they were anxious to relinquish if, provided they could, by other means, with the consrtt of the Magistrates, accomplish their, object, fhey conceived that it would be most expedient, most consistent, and most honourable in tbeui, as- well as most satisfactory to their constituents, to abandon this process, convinced as they were, not only that it uoukl not" now in anv shape s i t them in" the attainment of an alteration ofthe Scttof the Borgb, but that, in point of tact, it opeiawd as a scji- ous bar in ( he, Wiiy of their ulterior proceedings. With regard to the request with which tluty had formerly ac- companied their'proposition for a settlement with the Magistrates— that they should; concur in art application, in the proper quarter for nn alteration of the Sett— the Comtnitees were pretty well convinced, that such consent would either not be granted a! aft ' or'that. if iiwer'egrim- ed, the parties would jigrce or. ly to such njifior points,, as to lender that course more injurious ' than desirable ; and that; it was fat better to refrain from urging this con- dition, in tile confident hope, that whatever was just and expedient would liegrtrnted. by Pailialbent. ' They were moreover desirous, aa citisen^ of EditiburSh, to terminate the dissensions. and discord which these legil proceedings occasioned, as soon as they were convinced that no beneficial, result was to be expected from tbem. They therefore adopted the measure of'appointing astna'l Committee, to confer . with a Coitenittee of the Town. Council, which 1J4S led, to the action being compromised and withdraws, on the condition of L. l ICO of expences being paid by the Magistrates to the pursuers. The Committees do now therefore lay before their con- stituents this Report of their proceedings j and being fu! ly convinced that tlie stage at which ttiey hove upw arrived is a most important one, and that the state of matters is nw' more propitious to t¥ e" w? slles dTtheir. fellow-, citizens tliiSv at any former period, they strongly r'eeOimRt? nd that im- mediate and earnest, appii^ arivm slHiukl tie made to Par- liament for an alteration of the Set; of the Burgh, by all the Public Bodies of th if city, and that means should forthwith be taken for framing a Bill," by which'this alter- ation may be effected; I '. -.; .• The Committees hope that this example will be'followiSd that they, on the i pirr, Wilt - isotfe^ i Vvpfc SSi this city to fiamcabill q. plieable to'tbe el 1k- -< veral distucts of KiVgl — Uiitso die uWte - i^ plained of being, adequately . proved, ( ind. the' liccessity" being admitted • f removing many of the existing evils,' these Burghs may be prepared to state the manlier in which thev conceive that this can best be accomplished, t SALE OF HOUSES, AND SIIAIIE OF HULL SHIPPING COMPANY.

SIR, THE invasion of Naples seerns at. present to engage a large share of the public attention. Nor is this surpris- ing, when we consider all the circumstances of this most unjust and unprovoked aggression. It must still be fresh ' in the mem ry of every individual, that large Subscrip- tions were entered into oVer all parts of this kingdom, in order to indemnify those Russians who suffered hard- ships and losses, fr > m the French invasion of that coun- try, in the year 1815 ; and it shewed no little generosity on the part of the British public, that sums to so targe an amount were collected for that purpose. But if the pro- moters of these contributions felt indignant at the incur- sions of tiie Imperial Eagle of Fiance, into the territories of the Russian Autocrate, what must be their feelings, when ihey see the Austrian vulture attempting to potince bii the noble spirited Neapolitans, who have given no other Offence td the continental despots, than that of reforming their own most corrupt Government and of introducing the principles of liberty ill the Italian shores ? The British Ministry have resolved not to interfere in behalf of the Neapolitan people ; and, under pretence of observ- ing a strict neutrality, have in fact approved of tne pro- ceedings ofthe Holy Alliance, although the acts of the despots at Laybach are in direct opposition to the prin- ciples ofthe British Constitution. It is, however, of im- portance. both from respect to our national character and to the future co - meroia I interests of our country, that the British people should shew a spirit different from the Government, with whom at present they seem to possess but few sympathies. The plan I would propose for this purpose is as follows, Viz. that a general Hubs-, cription be set on foot over the whole Empire, to be bes- towed for the immediate relief of such Neapolitans as may suffer losses in the ensuing conflict. And should a suf- ficient sum be raised, it should be applied for the purpose of arming the Neapolitan peasantry, and in fitting out stiefo volunteers either Britons, or Foreigners, as are will- ing to inlivt in the rank* of freedom. By such a line of conduct, the people of Great Britain would at once pro- claim to the whole world, that the spirit of Liberty has Hot so completely vani- hed from the face of the land as might be supposed, from the acts of those who at present clire< i. the councils of this nation. Yours, & c. Castle Street, March 14. J82I. LIBERTAS. To the EDITOR of the ABERDEEN CHRONICLE. SIB. I have an only Son, who has been very completely edu- cated for the Church, and employed for some years past as a Preacher of the Gospel. Providence has gifted the lad with a fine person and fair talents, so that while he is in the pulpit, the ears of all are delighted with his preaching. For a long time, I fondly hoped that, with such qualifications, the boy would soon obtain' a living, and be an honour and a comfort to his mo- ther and myself in our declining age. But no— the Kirks they say, now- a- days, are sold to the highest bidder, and merit without money is held as nothing. My Son takes this much to heart, for he neither eats, sleeps, ! nor speaks as he used to do ; but is always either locked tip in his study, ( as he calls the garret) or walking by himself in the most solitary situations he can find. The > condition of my only child makes me quire unhappy ; and the more so, as his mother assures me he will fall into a consumption, if something does not soon occur to change the present gloomy state of his prospects. I would will- ingly borrow a few hundred pounds, from a friend, who lias promised his assistance, if I were quite sure that the traffic were honest, and if I knew how to dispose of it in procuring a settlement for my S m. My wife says, I should apply to the Factor of a great Man ; and that there can be no sin in my doing that, which is done every day by the Ministers of the Gospel. I hope some of your learned Correspondents will explain the matter, and cure the mind of an anxious parent. I am, Sir, With much respect, vours. See. SIMON SIMPLE. Muclcle Methlic. March 20, 1821. ? pl- enoun^ ed tlie following interlocutor; on the July, 1 1816 : The Lords having advised this Petition. With the 4i Answers thereto, adhere to tiie Interlocutor reclaimed 44 against, and refuse the desire of the Petition, find ex- 14 pences due, and remit to the Auditor to report oh the " account when lodged." Another reclaiming Petition met with the same fate as its predecessors. And now nothing remained but to intimate the promised solemn appeal. In the mean time, however, the Respondent thought proper to aVail himself of the provisions of a late Act of Parliament, " concerning the Administration of 44 Justice in Scotland, and appeals to the House of Lords," and prayed the Court to ordain Mr. DINGWALL to vnake immediate payment of the expences decerned by their Lordships. This was resisted by the Appellant with great force of argument, in the course of which he endeavoured to prove, that the Respondent had been guilty of most unjustifiable delay in putting in his Answer to the Peti- tion of Appeal, and that the Church Agents were very careless aboat fhe management of its funds. The Court yeeerned for payment of the expences. with dues of ex- tract, to the Respondents agent. After the lapse of three years, this important question came under review of the House of Peers, in February last, and after due deliberation, their Lordships pronounc- ed the following judgment on the 2d curt. " After hear- 44 ing counsel as well on Wednesday the 21 st, as Friday V the 2,3d of February last, upon the Petition and Appeal " of JOHN DINGWALL of Brucklay, in the County of Aher- " deen, Esq. Patroii and one of the Heritors of the Parish *' of Aberdonr in that County, complaining of four Inter- 44 locutors of the Lord Ordinary in Scotland, ofthe 11th 41 March and 12th May. 1815, and ofthe 16th of Jan. 44 and 6th of February, 181( 5. anil also of three Interlo- " cutors of the Lords of Session there, of the 2d Divi- " sion, of the 9th July and 27th Noven ber, 181( 5. and of " the 18th January, 1817. and praying that the same 44 might be reversed, vaiied, or amended, or that the 4' Appellant might have such other relief in the Premises, 44 as to this House in their Lordships great wisdom might 44 seem meet ; as also, upon the Answer for the Rev. '* GEORGE GARMNKII, Minister of the Parish of Aber- 44 dour, put in to the said Appeal, and due consideration " held on Wednesday last and this day, of what was offer- 44 ed on either side in this cause, the Lords Spiritual and " Temporal in Parliament assembled, find, that this case 44 ought to be considered as falling within the meaning of 44 that Clause in the Statute of 16( 53, cap 21. which re- 14 lates to the repairing of Manxes, and not within the 44 Clause which refers to the building of Manses, where 44 Manses had not been already built ; and it is ordered 44 and adjudged that, with this finding, the said Interlo- « cttlors of the I I th ' March, 1815, and 12th of May, 1815, complained of in said Appeal, and as much of the said 44 Interlocutor of the 16th of January, 1816, as refuses • 4 the desire ofthe Petition ofthe Appellant, and adheres 44 to the Interlocutor reclaimed against, be, and the same v are hereby affirmed. And it is farther ordered and ad- judged, that the said several other Interlocutors, also 44complained of in the said Appeal, be. and the same are 44 hereby affirmed. And it is further ordered and adjudg- 44 ed, that the Appeal be, and is hereby dismissed this " House; and it is further ordered, that the Appellant 44 do pay, or cause to be paid, to the Respondent, the sum 44 of L. 100 for his costs in respect of said Appeal." IMPORTANT DECISION. HOUSE OF LORDS. DINGWALL V. GARDINER. A case ofthe deepest interest to the Clergy and Land- holders of Scotland, was finally decided in the House of Peers, on Friday the 2d curt. The particulars are as follows : The Manse and Offices of Aberdour, i « the County of Abe deen, having become ruinous, tlie Minister presented a Petition to the Presby- tery of Deer. in summer 1814, praying, that they might be inspected, and the Heritors ordained to rebuild them. After sundry steps of procedure, the Presbytery approved of a plan given in bv the Minister, and pronounced judg- ment against the Heritors, ordaining them to build the same at the estimated expence of .£ 1214 14s. lOd. steel, including the driving of materials, and allowance to the overseer. Of this judgment, JOHN " DINGWALL, Esq. of Brncklay, the principal Heritor of ibe Parish, presented a Bill of Suspension to the Court of Session, and the case came to be discussed before Lord PIT \ I ILLY as Ordinary, who, on the first of March, 1815, made a remit to ALEX. LAING, Architect in Edinburgh, to inspect the plan adopt- ed by the Presbytery, and also one produced by the Heritors, and to consider the objections made to each, and to report. Mr. LAING having reported, the Lord Ordinary, on the 11th March, pronounced the following Interlocutor : *• The Lord Ordinary having considered 44 the Report of Mr. LAING, and heard Mr. LAING along 44 with the Counsel for the parties thereon, of new remits * l to Mr. LAING, with instructions to adopt either ofthe " plans in process, or to make such alterations as he shall think proper, or if preferable to make a new plan, the 44 expehces of which new plan to be adopted, not to ex- ceed L. 1000 sterling, exclusive of the old materials ;" and to this Interlocutor the Lord Ordinary adhered, by refusing a representation from Mr. DINGWALL. Against these Interlocutors. Mr. DINGWALL presented a Petition to the Second Division ofthe Court of Session, Which prayed to suspend the latter simpliciter, and to find that the expence ofthe Manse and Offices, so far as le- viable from the Heritors, should not exceed L. 1000 Scots, or L 83 6s. Sd. sterling, the'Maximum allowed by the Statute, 1663, cap. 21. Their Lordships remitted to the Lord Ordinary to hear pasties upon this Petition, 44 in respect that the plea stated in the prayer thereof, that 44 the expence of the Manse and Offices so far as leviable *' from the Heritors, shall not exceed L. 1000 Scots, or " I,, S3 6s. 8d. sterling, had not been urged b< fore the Lord Ordinary." After considering this Petition, with the Answers thereto, and whole process, Lord PITMILLY. on the 16th January, 1816, pronounced the following Interlocutor : The Lord Ordinary 44 finds, that by the Act 166.3, cap. the Heritors of Parishes are ordained to build cupi- 44 patent Mantes for their Ministers, and that this express 14 provision ofthe Statute, under the authority of which *' alone new Manses can be built, could not in the present • 4 day be complied with, if the expence of the building 44 were to be limited to the sums of money mentioned in " the Act of Parliament, which, with a view to the ex- " pence of building at the date of the Act, were fixed at L. 1000 Scots, as the Maximum, and 500 merks as the 44 Minimum ; finds that the Clause in the Statute, which " provides, that when Manses are already built, the " Heritors shall relieve the Ministers of the expence of " repairing them, does not limit the amount, and that f* these repairs, therefore, must frequently, in the present " day, exceed the expence of building a new Manse-, as fixed in the act, although it must evidently have been « $ jVe intention and understanding of the act, that the ex- " pence of repairing an old Manse should be much less " than the expence of building a new one; and that it » « should be for the interest of the Heritors to repair rather 14 than to build ; while the reverse would be the case, if the 14 construction put upon the Statute by the Petitioner 41 were adopted. Finds accordingly, that the rates men- 44 tioned in the Act of Parliament have been'departed from * 4 in practice, and that the usage to this effect is not only uniform and long established, but was sanctioned by *' the Court in the case referred to by the Respondent, of V the Minister of Inverurv, after the point was litigated 44 by one of the Heritors. Refuses- the desire of the Pe- ' ftjtion, and adheres to the Interlocutor reclaimedagainst." To this Interlocutor his Lordship adhered, by refusing a representation for tho Appellant. _ The Appellant reclaimed, a. second time to the Court, repeating his former Argument, that the Respondent, liuder the Statute, was entitled to no moye than L. 1000 Spots, fvr building his ]\ Jai} se ami Offices* The Court Domestic Articles, < fc. formerly omitted.

Upon the 2.3d February last, the Sitting Magistrate, on the complaint of the Procurator Fiscal, sentenced Alexander Morgan and David Bruce, ship- carpenters, to pay a fine of One Guinea each, and to find caution to keep the peace for two years, for rioting and fighting in a most barbarous manner, and granted warrant for com- mitting them to prison till the said fines were paid, and caution found. And upon the same day, the Sitting Magistrate also sentenced Jean Stewart, a noted street- walker, to con- finement and hard labour in Bridewell, for three months, and banishment from the City aud Liberies, for five years thereafter, under the usual certification, for disorderly conduct oil the streets. And on the 27th Feb. the Sitting Magistrate sentenced ahoy ofthe name of John Dowtiie. to four months con- finement and hard labour in Bridewell, for stealing ropes from a vessel at the Quay. Benjamin Gray, a person of had character was, upon the 9t. li inst. brought before the sitting Magistrate, charg- ed with decoying Thomas Carnie. Stone- dyker at Upper Banchory, into a tippling house intown, and there swind- ling and cheating him out of a Silver Watch and Great Coat, by pretended gambling; and Gray having admitted being implicated in the foresaid crime, was sentenced to eighteen months confinement and hard labour in Bride- well. And Robert Laing, flesher in Aberdeen, was, upon the 1 Oth inst. charged with committing several Assaults upon persons in Gardener- lane ; and being duly convict- ed, was sentenced by the sitting Magistrate, to confine- ment and hard labour in Bridewell for three months. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FROM FRENCH PAPERS. OPENING OFTHE SPANISH COIITES. SPEECH OE THE KING. On the 1st of March, his Majesty, accompanied by a strong escort, proceeded to the Hall of the Cortes,, where he addressed that body. He congra- tulated the Representatives on the revolution— on the measures taken for the restoration of public cre- dit— and on tlve general progress of industry through- out the provinces. Me also touches generally on the foreign relations. of tUe,- country. The following are. the more important passages : 44 Bnt it is necessary not to dissemble, in the midst of the satisfaction which effects so salutary as those produced by the constitutional regime ought to cause, in the midst: of the universal content of the nation, and of its resololu- tion to defend it, the attempts of some discontented per- sons, supported by the illusions of those, who, in all times, nourish Chimerical and criminal hopes, have allow- ed the tranqujllity of the, capital, and of some provinces, to be momentarily alarmed, and to cause in my heart the profoundest affliction. . 44 I hope that the Cortes, in filling its important func- tions, will be persuaded of the necessity of taking prompt J measures to repress the audacity of those, who, encourag- j rather than repressed by the moderation of the system, j would dare to disturb good order ; and that they will give, i atthe « same time, to the action of Government the neces- ' sary power which, in existing circumstances, public tran- quillity exacts, and without which it is impossible to cure the evils which have afflicted the nation for so many ages. 44 The resolution taken ir. the Congress of Troppau, and continued in that of Laybach, by. the Sovereigns of Austria, Prussia, and Russia, to interpose in the changes ofthe political regime established in the kingdom of the Two Sicilies, has excited all my solicitude. In considera- tion of that Royal Family, united to mine by ties of Wood, and by the interest that I take iu the happiness of that nation ; and because it is of the utmost consequence to the independence of States, that the sacred rights of na- tions and their Princes may be rightly respected, I have thought it indispensable to the honour of my throne, and to the dignity of the great nation that it is my glory to . govern, to ' hiafce it understood, by suitable .. communica- tions, that I will not recognise any thing whatever that may be contrary to the positive rights of the people, on which are founded the liberty, the independence, and the prosperity of nations— principles which Spain, on its side, will inviolably respect with ot. htfrs. 44 I have the satisfaction of announcing tb the Cortes* that the Allied Sovereigns, according to all the communi- cations that I have received to the present time, have been, and are agreed iu recognising tlifeSe principles w- ith res- pect to Spain. 44 Such are the objects that the Cortes will take I hope, into consideration, in order that the Constitutional sys- tem may be consolidated, and to accelerate the propriety and well- being ofthe nation. tl I have hitheit'o said all that is fitting to expose to the lights of th* Cortes relatively to the political situation of the nation, and of all its relations internal and external. I have done so with all the precision which so solemn an act imposes On me, and the information that. I have on the different points which my discourse embraces. 44 I have deferred to the conclusion of my discourse to I speak to you of my person, in order that it might not be j thought that. I preferred it to the well being and to the happiness of the people that Divine Providence has confi { ded to my care. | 4 However, it is necessary that I inform, though with ; much chagrin, this wise Congress, that the ideas of some j ill disposed persons, who strive to seduce credulous peo- ple, by persuading them that my heart hides views opposed to the system that goyerns us, are not unknown to my mind. Their object is only to inspire diffidence as to my pure intentions, and on the rectitude of my conduct. 1 have sworn to the Constitution, and I have always made choice of observing it, as much as depends on me. Would to God that every one was the same ! The outrages and the acts of irreverence of all sorts committed towards ray digni- ty, in. contempt of what, order and respect for my person ought to exact, as a Constitutional King, have been pub- lished. I have no fears for my life or my safety ; God, who reads my heart, watches both, aud will preserve them, . as well as the majority and the sound part of the nation, i '* But I ought not to withhold to- day from the Con- } gre^ s, as principally charged with preserving the inviola- bility that it wishes to be. observed towards its Constitu- tional King, that these insults would not have been re- peated if the Executive had displayed all the energy that • the Constitution prescribes and that ihe Cortes desires.— The want of firmness, and the little activity , of many of s the authorities, have given room to the renewal of such excesses, and, if they conti- nue, it will not be astonishing if the Spanish nation finds itself enveloped in numberless evils and misfortunes. 44 I am confident that it will not be so, if the Cortes, ' f$ s I must hope, unite immediately with their Constitu- tional King— occupying themselves without relaxation to < destroy abuses, to combine opinion, aud to repress the machinations of ill- disposed persons, who wish only for i disunion and anarchy. i 44 Let then the Legislative Powers co- operate with me, | as I protest in the face of the na Ion to consolidate the j system that it has proposed, and that it has required for | its good and perfect happiness. ( Signed) 44 FERDINAND." J MADRID. March 2.— The Session of the Cortes was > opened yesterday with all the usual pomp. The King ' delivered a Speech which has produced the most painful effect on the minds of the hearers. Conformably to the Constitution, M. Manuel, the President immediately answered the King's speech in vague and general terms; but as soon as the King had retired, the Count de Tor eno rose to express bis astonishment and his grief* and to demand that, according to the example of England and that of France, a Committee should 1A » appointed for the purpose Of drawing up a new answer to the King's speech. This Deputy spoke with much warmth ; and concluded with saying that it was time that all Europe should know the real sentiments ofthe Spaniards ; and that the C" rt. es ought to embrace ibis opportunity solemnly to declare that Spain was no Icrs disposed than Naples to respect the in- dependence of other nations, and to cause its own to be respected, as well as its liberty. It was affirmed that the Ministers had take no part in drawing up the speech of the King. What seems to con- firm ( his assertion is, that the) are themselves accused in it, aud that in the evening they were all dismissed by the King's will, except the Minister of the Marine. The port- feuilles were provisionally delivered to the Secretaries Ge- neral of the Departments, who aUgave in their resigna- nation tlie following morning. Violent agitation and un- easiness prevailed on the 2d, and it was feared that, some unhappy commotion would take place on the following, day. BY A COURIER EXTRAORDINARY. MA RCH 5.— In the Sitting of the Cortes of the ,3d, M. Jabat, Minister of the Ma rine Announced the dis- mission of all his Colleagues from office. Upon motion, the) were desired to attend the Assembly, and give an account of ( he circumstances that occasioned their retiring; but political reasons prevented the explanation from being made. The next, day M. Jabet gave in his resignation. A Message from the King was read, in which he de- manded from the Cortes a list of persons worthy ofthe confidence of the'nation, to compose a new Administra- tion. A long discussion took place on this, which ended in a Resolujion— That it was neither competent nor proper for the Cortes to influence his Majesty in the choice of his Ministers, and that if he wanted advice on this point, he should address himself to his Council of State." In the Sitting of the 4th, M. de Toreno moved that there be laid before the Cortes, from the Bureau of the Ministry of the Interior, the Minuteofthe Speech which had been resolved on in the Council of Ministers, for the King to deliver from the Throne— this was ordered, and the Minute signed by seven Ministers was laid en the table. It concluded before the paragraph which begins with these words 44 I have hitherto spoken," & c. It was then resolved that the Cortes should, in their Answer to his Majesty's Speech, proceeded uo further than to those words. On the 4th inst. the King, on the proposition of the Council of State, appointed a new Administration. AUGSBURGH, March 4. — We learn from Trieste that every thing was prepared for the reception of the Al- lied Sovereigns, when news arrived that the political events of Italy would prolong ' the stay of their Imperial Majes- ties at. Laybach, where the answer of the Neapiitan Go- verment to the proposals of the High Allied Powers has. arrived. The tenor of this reply has, it is said, given rise to fresh conferences to consolidate preceding measures re- lative to the execution of the decisions of the Congress. It is known that tlic determination of the present Govern- ment of Naples ( a determination wholly unexpected) has caused the greatest astonishment. It is probable that a new declaration of the contracting Powers will speedily be published. Events arc pregnant with importance for the south of Italy. ROME. Feb. 2.3.— The Prussian Minister hoped to have continued to reside peaceably as a private individual in Naples, notwithstanding the approach of the army of occupation; but the murder of Signor Gian Pietro. con- nected with the act of attaching Nos. 1. and 17. to his body, which manifestly proves the number devoted to the poniard, made him resolve not to delay his departure.— This explains his arrival here one day later than the Mi- nisters of Russia and Austria. ing any tiling respecting tfie details of tliess fi^ st actions, and without fixing the date of them... TURIN, March 6.— The Neapolitan Genentf Carras. cosa arrived at Terni, in the Roman States, on the 25tb of February, at the head of a body of light troop's. He there required, it is said. 80,000 rations, as well for the service of his own army as to exhaust the country previous to the arrival ofthe Austrian^, whom he appeared dispos- ed td barrass during their march upon the Abrnzzi. It is confirmed that Marshal Frimont has written to ulilan to cause his reserve to advance. The regular troops of Naples are estimated at 100,000 men— men, all of whom seem to l> e simulated with the best spirit. Enthusiasm is at its height at Naples. The remarkable slowness of the move- \ ments of the Austrian army is well calculated to encourage their adversaries. The first effect of terror which was to have been expected from the invasion is dissipated. We are assured that the Pope has requested General I Frimont to establish a guard of safety at Rome. Th is re- ' quest was caused bv the audacity of the Neapolitan parr tisans. who push forward in every direction several leagues beyond the frontiers.

The Earl of BLESSING TON postponed his motion for the prespnt on the state of Ireland. Wednesday, March 14. Lord SID MOUTH presented a petition from the suppossd son ofthe Earl of'Stratbmore. claiming" a title' to she Peerage. It was referred to a Committee of pri- vileges. . ,.,..... Friday, March 16. The Earl of D ARNLEY said, that he held in hiv , hand a Petition from - several Clergymen of the Church ; of England, praying for the restoration of' her Majesty's | name to the Liturgy. It was not, however, his. intention to present it on tiiat. occasion, as he thought it would be more respectful to wait until the Most Reverend Prelate ( the Archbishop of Canterbury) was in the House, with which view he should postpone it till Monday. FROM GERMAN PAPERS. ROME, Feb. 22.— Baron Lebczeltern left Rome this morning to return to Laybach. The column ofthe Aus- trian army which passed from Bologna, halted at Pesaro in the night of the 1.3th ; it then proceeded to AncOna, passed the night in the suburbs, and last Monday entered aud passed the height in Loretta. This corps, consisting of the finest troops, both infantry and cavalry, has ob- served the strictest discipline on the march. FEB. 24.— The Neapolitans who had entered Rieti, and declared that they Were obliged to pass through to take a military position at Le Marmore, have retired for for fear of having their retreat cut off*; it is said that they have returned and occupy Ascoli. The Austrian column, which had arrived at Alonterosl to come to Rome, and is commanded by General Stutter- beiin, has made a halt and taken up its quarters in the neighbouring villages, and its head- quarters are Nepi, waiting for the orders of the General- in- chief. The \ strength of the Neapolitan army is concentrated in the ] Abruzzas, where, according to all appearances, some action ; will soon take place. Up to to- day no corps of Neapolitan ' troops has arrived on the frontiers towards Terracina ; the j roads, however, in that part are broken up in several , places, leaving no more room than what is indispensable ' for the passage of a carriage. The Austrian flotilla has arrived at Ancona. King Ferdinand is expected soon to return to Florence.

SCOTS BURGHS. Lord A. HAMILTON said he held in his hand a petition to which he called the attention of the House ; if lie. did not not do so, he should consider himself guilty of a breach of his duty ; it was a petition from the Burgh of Inverury, in the county of Aberdeen, complaining of the abuses of the present system of Scots Burgh Govern- ment, as regarded the management of public monies,.& c. and lie particularly called the attention of tlie House to that subject, because, whatever abuses the Magistrates might be guilty of, they did it legally, at least according to the laws as they now stood. Tin's had been proved by a recent decision of the Scots Courts, as was set forth in this petition. The burgesses having reason to he dissatis fied, in . a particular instance, with the appropriation of the public funds, brought an action against the Magis- trates, but the result was that ( he Court said they had no jurisdiction, altho- igh amongst other items of abuse was a charge of .-£ 647. for feasting the Magistrates. This judg- ment did not satisfy the burgesses, and they applied to the Supreme Court. That respectable Judge, Lord Pitit illy, whose legrtl knowledge was undoubted, confirmed the, judgment of the. inferior court. The Burgesses then- took the casi) to the Inner Housed but sfiU the judgment was the same ; and not only Were the Burgesses obliged to put up witli the grievance,' but they had .£ 185 to- pay for costs. The Noble Lord concluded by moving that the petition shmihi. be. Jtmuight. up. Mr. HUM E supported the petition, which he said was signed by all the burgesses not immediately interested. Sir- GEORGE CLERK hoped that it would at once be referred to the Committee. • Mr. ABERCROMBY did not want it to be buried in the Committee,- without its being first printed. Lard A. HAMILTON added, that he should move that it be referred to the Committee after it had been printed.—- The petition was then, ordered to be printed. Sir R. FE RGUSSON p » fronted a petition from Kirk- caldy,. signed by five hundred persons, expressing their dissatisfaction < vt the measures pursued against the Queen ; complaining also of the oppressive load of taxation which pressed upon the manufacturing interests." and which had not been lightened by any measures of economy, notwith- standing the professions of Ministers, and the promise held out in fhe Speech from the Throne. Sir R. FE RGUSSON moved that he be excused from farther attendance on the Scots Burghs Committee, the inquiries of which were carried on in such a way as to leave no hope of any thing useful being done. He knew that the- people of Scotland were looking to the report with considerable expectation, and he would not lend his aid in their disappointment, Mr. MACKENZIE said, that the Hon. and Gallant General would do his duty better if he remained on the Committee, and pointed out to the majority the means of more effectually accomplishing the end desired. He ( Mr. M.) was a member of that Committee, and voted for its appointment in opposition. to most of the Gentlemen with whom he usually voted, on account of the representations of various abuses xnad j to the House by the inhabitants of these Burghs. The pctior. ers^ iaJ, since the appointment of the Committee, substantiated, in a great part, tlie existence Of many of those abuses, and he believed the labours of the Committee would ultimately secure the re- medial object for which it was appointed. T* he name of Sir II. Ferguson was then withdrawn from! the Committee; ADMIRALTY COURT OF* SCOTLAND. The LORD ADVOC ATE brought up the Scots Ad- miralty regulation bill. Read a first time* and the se- cond reading fixed fortius day fortnight. ARMY REDUCTIONS. Mr. TIUME, after advertifrg to die Reductions moved on a former night, moved the following : — 44 That there were in tlie service of Great Britain anif Ireland, in 1792 ( exclusive ofthe regular cavalry and in- fantry), 25.757 troops, namely, 3 7- 30 of royal artillery; 4.425 of royal marines, and 17,602 of disembodied mi- litia ; and in 1821 ( exclusive, of the regular cay a by artct infantry), the number of 125,492 troops, namely, 7.872 engineers arid artillery. 8,000 royal marines, ,51.998 dis- embodied militia, and 57.622 yeomanry cavalry and vo- lunteer infantry ; being in number a larger force fey 1,32.567 men, available for purposes of the government, in this year than in 1792. 44 That it is the opinion of this House that, under the present circumstances of the country, it is expedient to make a large reduction in the amount and expenditure of its military establishments, aud to approximate as soon as possible to the establishment of 1792, as recommended by the finance committee of 1817." Mr. CREEVEY seconded the motion. After some observations from Lord Castlereagh, Lore! Palmerston moved the previous question. On the divi- sion the numbers were : For the previous question. 98—. Against it, 74 - Majority, 24.— The House having re- solved itself into a Committee. Lord PALMERSTON rose to propose a string of Resolutions. Before he proposed the first, lie Went into an elaborate and minute detail of the various expencea and reductions that bad taken place in our Military Establishment, both at home ami abroad ; and after going through the various branches said, that tin- increase si dec j 1792, would, upon examination, lie found to be really sma l. . After enumerating the different branches in which reductions had been made, he said they amounted altogether to ,367.000!. In India a saving bad also been effected. The whole, as compared with the preceding year, would form a reduction of 707- 0001. He consider- ed it would be ungracious to effect a reduction in the pay and allowance of the army, af- er having waded through' so tremendous a war. The Hon. Gentleman concluded a speech of great length, by moving his first resolution for 81,468 men. Colonel DAVIES rose to resist it. contending that the statements of , Mr. Hume were substantially correct. The gallant Colonel said, that notwithstanding the returii of the Queen and the consequences attending it, no disturbance had taken place; this sufficiently sin- wed the Heedlessness of that charge which was to keep 170 000 men on foot for the service of Great Britain and Ireland-. He thought there was no occasion for 1.200 men at Su Helena to protect that extraordinary person who had eJt^ cited so much terror. In tlie Ionian Islands a reduction might be made, as also in the cavalry force, in particular in India. The waggon train might be done awav with altogether, as quite useless in a time of peace, by which a saving of lO. OOOT. would be effected. He considered the rate of 4d. a mile for marching allowances, too great. If the Committee were to adopt a plan which he had mentioned on a former occasion, a saving of 375, OOOL a year might be effected by the reduction of the veteran bat- talions. A very considerable saving migtrt^ aiso be made in the department of the Commission of Finance, as well as in the departments of the Secretary of War's Office, which in 1792 was 45,2451. but now it amounted to 1.33,779. In the office of the Comptroller of army ac- counts, reductions might also be mayie. In a time of war there were 2 Comptrollers and 11 Assistants, at a total salary of 4,4701. a year; but now m a time of peace there wcre- 3 Comptrollers, and the expenditure of the office exceeded 12,000(. a year. The Hon. Gentleman con- cluded by moving, as an amendment, "- That the Chair- man do report progress, and ask leave to sit again.*' Mr. G. R. DAWSON, although a general supporter of Ministers,, could not iu this instance be so. Wfreta the distresses of the country were so severe, and the pres- sure of calamity^ so heavy, economy even to parsi mony oUght to be pursued. He was of opinion that 6,643.9681. was too great a sum to be expended on the army in the present distressed state of the countn. The force cf 20,778 m^ n was much too large for the protection of Ireland, in which country there was uo disturbance. and if there should be, that coumry had an effective and most extensive police at its disposal. He concluded by saying, that the estimates ought to be some millions less than they were. Mr. J. M A CDO N A LI), after a few prefatory remarks, said, it was indeed most painful fo come down lo that House year after year to hear the plausible, but unsatis- factory." ' apologies of Ministers for their grossly dispro- portioned expenditure of tlie public money as compared with the means of the country—( Hoar, hear.)— The Noble Lord had fold the House that the military expen- diture of the present year, as compared with the last, was shott to the amount of 150.0001. but he had forgotten to state that, as compared wiih the average of the years 1818 and 1819, there was an increase of 105,0001. and that with reference to the average of the years ItflS', 19, and 20, there was a trifling excess rather than any reduc- tion. Although the House could not recur to the exact establishment of 1792, yet . they ought always to keep it in view, and approximate as near to it as possible Ho by no means wished the country should break its faith with those who had bled in its service; but he did think that the pay of the soldier was too great, as the wages of military men ought to l> ear somi- degree of proportion to the rate paid for the labour ofthe agriculturist and the manufacturer. If they compared the rate of wages . id to the latter in 1792 and 1821, it would be found that the increase was somewhere about the ratio of 5 to 4 ; while » similar comparison, with reference to the soldier, showed that his wages had increased m the ratio of 2 to I. Tire return to cash payments had reduced the value of agricul- tural and manufacturing products in the ratio of 15 and even 20 per Cent. • Now he would be glad So ask when this depreciation of produce had taken place, or, if they pleased, when the value of money was raised to this ex- tent; what pretence- there w as to keep up the greater, part of those salaries and emoluments in their establishments,, which were augmented to their present ainotiw on account of a depreciated curveticy ?—( Hear.)~ He did not wish to begin with the soldier ; but he- would say that it was not just to the public, if all salaries which had been raised under the circumstances he had slated were not reduced 10 per cent, and due notice given to those who wete abinit to enter the public service that the same principle would be invariably acted upon. As to an augmeu- tativrj in our military establishment for the protection of our Colonies, lie considered that our navy was a perfect guar- antee. for the security of the Colonies. The civil estab- lishment of the Colonies were disproportionably great, and were, he believed, only kept up for the purpose of patronage. It was indeed said by foreigners,- that the moment we became possessed of a colony we gave it estab- lishments on the scale of a mighty empire. This w# s exemplified . particularly in the case of the Cape of Good Hope, where a salary of 12,0001. or 14,0001. a year bail been given to a governor. lie considered the force at Gibraltar should be either reduced, or the inhabitants made to bear the extra charge. The Noble Lord ad- mitted that the present internal force ofthe country was, 49,000 regulars, infantry and cavalry, 27,000 yeomanry, 20,000 volunteers, a militia liable to be called out* amounting, to 51,000 men, a marine force of 8,000 men applicable to any emergency, and 11,000 veterans who had been recently embodied and equipped at a short notice, without any authority from . Parliament. This, was allowed on every side of the House to be the actual amount of force that Great Britain had on root in the seventh year of peace ; but large as that force was, ho would say, that if ihe present system was to be persevered in « — the system of goading and irritating the people not even five times the amount of that force would preserve the public tranquillity.—( Hear, hear.)— It would be re- collected by the House that tiie largest body of com- plainants ever assembled m one place, amounting to 50,000 or 60.030 in number, had been dispersed by 40 raw undisciplined yeomanry, and without, the least at- tempt at resistance. If this was an experiment to try the temper of the people, it had been successful ; or if its object were to ascertain how readily the largest body of the people could be dispersed by the smallest military force, that also had been shewn. But it was strange that CJoVerntnent should have iaid that this act demonstrated , J i ii 1 1 ttie necessity of a larger military forck—( Hear.)— The Hon. Gentleman in referring to the internal system of government, alluded to the case of Franklin, and ^ en- sured in the severest terms thb apparent intimacy between that person and the Government, " the present military could not be supported upon any plea— certainly not even the possibility of a foreign war. The last war had eost this country 1000.000,0001. On that subject he re- ferred to the Noble Lord ( Castlereagh) whom be thought bad too much intercourse with German Courts, which had quite spoiled Uimfor a British Politician, ( hear, hear.) sfcrtictlon of that cav. se in which Naples was now patrioti- cally. struggling. General G A SCO I ONE admitted that rnarty of the sig- natures were most respectable. The petition ought to. be referred to the Committee on agriculture. Mr. F. PALM Bit made a single remark, after whicti it was ordered that the petition be printed. At tbe request of Sir R. Wilson, Mr. H UME feonsent- ed, that, on the 20th instant, the motion of the former, on the subject of Naples, should take the precedence of a finance proposition by the latter. Mr. HUME gave notice, that to- morrow, he would lie concluded by stating, that if his Hon. Friend's amendment should l>_- negatived, it was his intention to move that the number of men ^ fefposed in these estimates be reduced bv 10.000.—( Cheers.) Mr GREY BENNETT said, it appeared to him. that throughout this discussion, the most important question for their consideration had been thrown out of sight, namely, the possibility of paying this force.— ( Hear.)— He said broadly Chat the country could not pay tjie additional taxation necessary to defray the charges of thi-' estimate ; and he said more, that the country would move for the returns respecting the civil and miscellaneous estimates—( cheers) lie postponed till the 29th iiist. his motion on the subject AUSTRIAN LOAN. Mr. R. SMITH brought forward his motion on the subject of the arrears'of the loan to Austria. Since 1797 not one farthing eithei* of principal or interest had been paid, and in interest alone, this country now annually lost ahove million. lie adverted to the debates between Pitt and Fox on this subject, and quoted the following passage from the Confederacy" used by the latter, and quite as not pay it. It became the duty of that Ilousfc to lower the taxation rather, so that the people might be able to bear and to pay it. He considered Ireland could be go- verned with 15,000 men, as well as 25,000, and that if the House now, as in the year 181<>, were to return the estimates back upon Ministers, telling them they would not vote so large estimates ( hear, hear,) the Noble Lord would soon find out how to retrench them • and discover t! m he could govern Ireland with 15.000 men, as well 25,000. The Hon. Gentleman proposed a reduction ' C. COO men in the number of troops to be destined for e home service, including Ireland.—( Loud cries of • question.") Lord OASTLERE AGH most seriously thought, that would bemo'st improper toreducethe forces at all below ; e es1 imates proposed, at the present moment. If an ' , ion;. » •< duct- ion of 10,000 men were to take place the lie service could not be carried on. Ir. CALCR A FT said, whenever a retrenchment •> ropo? ed, i was always met by similar observations those now used bv the Noble Lord ( Castlereagh.) At » me when Bonaparte was at the very zenith of his ten or * welve thousand men had been thought ' ;?) t far Ireland ; and now, when the kingdom was. jnquil and possessed of a numerous and active yeo- • ry, 20 000 were said to be indispensable. USK1SSON addressed the House, and in the of his speech, said there was a great improvement - ule. Mr. MABERLY, in a speech of some length, strong- argued in favour of a reduction to ease the public aril- en. The cries of Question" now became excessively loud, ; nd stra . jiers were ordered to withdraw. The gallery continued closed from half- past 12 till 5 o'clock. Dur- ing our exclusion, we understand that several divisions ; to.; K place, each of which was preceded by very warm dis- ' cussions, if we might judge from the repeated cheerings j from both sides ofthe House. The first division was on the am sum of the Chairman's reporting progress; the applicable now as then :—" The price was no subject of argument, all that was haggled about was the day of pay ment"— ( hear and laughter.) The present, he contended, was the most lit time for Parliament to interfere, especial- ly when land owners could hardly call their estates their own. It became the House, therefore decisively to ex- press its opinion. Austria had experienced great advan- tages, her finances were in an improved condition and re- cent events did not entitle her to any consideration. Iler Italian states seemed looked upon only as objects of plun- der, arid the war she had commenced against Naples im- peratively called upon the British Parliament to ask why this loan was not repaid—( cheers.)— It was also incum- bent lo adopt some step Of this kind, to shew to Europe that England was not the secret friend of such traasactions as Austria was engaged in. Austria shewed us no favour in her commmercial regulations, and dealt witli us as se- verely as with others. He concluded with moving for co- pies of correspondence, & c. Lord C A STL ERE AG II did not oppose the motion, but contended, that though, with interest, it had been swelled to sixteen or seventeen millions, the principal re- maining due was only about four millions. This Govern- ment, however, as would appear from the papers, bad not Omitted to demand repayment With full vigour-— ( hear).— It would be recollected that though this subject had formerly been matter of debate, no adverse proposition had yet been offered ; at the same time he could not omit to mention, that arrears of subsidies had been paid, with- out arvy notice of the loan. He did not, therefore, say that the loan had been relinquished, or that it ought to be expunged, and he admitted that at the proper time repay- ment of it ought to be demanded. Sir J. NEWPORTsaid, the debate in 1815 formed no reason for not discussing the subject at the present junc- ture. It ought to be recollected that the first principle of the Holy Alliance, into which this country had entered, was good faith—( hear). Mr. Fox had prophesyed that this debt would be a debt for ever, and Mr. Pitt had been hurt eleven ; tiie numbers bei$ i* for the original question. 254; against it, 243. nun b- rs we understood were— For the amendment, 95— Against it, 216 — Majority Against it, 121.

The proposal not being arceded to, a division took place, on the question, when tiie numbers were— Ayes 45— Noes, ICS— Majority against the motion, 117. A division then took place on the same question, as five previous divisions had been taken, when the numbers were— For the amendment, 47— Against it, 164— Majority, 117. At three o'clock we were re- admitted into the gallery, when, to our great surprise, we found the Members of Opposition occupying the seats of the supporters of Mi- nisters, and vice versa. Mr. Hume was speaking from the Ministerial Benches, and concluded a long speech, hy moving that the act of William and Mary, for the dis- banding of the army, bo then read. A fter a few words in opposition to the motion from Mr. R. Martin, the gal- lery was again cleared, and a division took place on the question, when there appeared— For the motion. 48— Against it, 111— Majority. 101. A mnih division then took place on the question of the CL' • inau's reporting progress, when there was— For the motion, 43— Against it, 140— Majority, 07.

The Committee again divided— For the motion. 3S— Against it, 146— Majority, 108. Lord CASTLEREAGH then ( as we were informed) observed, that considering the lateness of the hour he would not press the question further, as the estimates could not be got through in any reasonable time. The Chairman then reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again on Wednesday—- Adjourned at a quarter to live o'clock in the morning. Tuesday, March 13. Sir. WESTERN said he was under the necessity of postponing his motion for the repeal of the malt tax, on account of the absence of the Noble Lord ( Castlereagh,) who. he was sorry to understand, was unable to attend on account of indisposition. He had looked over the no- tice book, and found tl) 3t Wednesday tile 21st was the first open day, and he would, for the present, fix his no- tice for that day. The Hon. Member then presented a petition from the occupiers of land in the neighbourhood of Saffron Walden, in Essex, complaining of agricultural distress. M. CREEVEY could not held adverting to the post, poncment of the motion of his Honourable Friend, who, lie thought, had been too courteous in putting it oil'. When money was to be voted, it was done whether the Noble Lord was here or not; indeed, he was sure to be here on sacb occasions, though, if reduction was proposed, or a tax to be repealed, he was absent. The Noble Lord had probably made himself ill by bis obstinate persever- ance in fighting a battle last night, in which he must well know be could not succeed, and in which he must have foreseen the defeat which he absolutely sustained. ISy this postponement the supplies fur the year would be voted before his Honourable Friend's proposition for the repeal of the malt tax could come on, which was contrary to llie order in which the business should cotne forward; lie thought, when the Noble Lord communicated his indis- position, aud asked postponement, he should also have intimated an intention to delay the progress of supply that his Honourable Friend might still remain in the same situation. The petition was then received and ordered to be printed. Mr. CURWEN postponedliis motion for the repeal of the agricultural horse tax to Tuesday, the 26th of March On the motion of Mr. S. WORTLKY, the Gram pound disfranchisement bill was re- committed. Some verbal amendments were made in thebill.— Th, House resumed, and the report was ordered to be received to- monow. Wednesday, March, 14 On the motion of Mr. WYNNE, it was ordered that on no one day there be read more than 20 orders of the day. Mr. JAMES presented a petition from the inhabitants of Liverpool and its vicinity. He did not know what sort of petitions would now be received, since the House was in the habit of rejecting the complaints of a portion of the people. The petitioners represented the distresses under which the country generallj laboured as resulting from over taxation ; and thus circumstanced, they could not but recommend the calling in thejdebt from the Imperial de- faulter. the Emperor of Austria. That debt amounted to 18 or 19 millions as it had been wrongly calculated in the papers laid before the House. They added, that it would be well now to enforce the repayment, as Austria could afford to engage in such unwarrantable enterprizes against the rights and libertiesof independent nations. The Hon. IMember could not but believe that Ministers were, in fact, parties to the Holy Alliance, and that they desired the de- that the good faith of Austria should be questioned. It now became those to whom the mantle of that statesman had descended, to see that his engagements were fulfilled ( cheers). Lord CASTLEREAGII explained, aud the motion was agreed to. ARMY ESTIMATES. Tlie House having resolved itself into a Committee of Supply, the consideration of the army estimates was re- sumed. Mr MACDONALD rose to redeem his pledge of a former night, and to propose to reduce tile force about 10.000 men. He considered 25,000 for the colonies, and 5,000 for the home service, amply sufficient, on the show- ing of Ministers. With the artillery, this would consti- tute a military force of 65,000 men. Rut, if the various forces and means were taken into consideration, and if the state of the interior should require an addition not less than 200,000 men could soon be called into the field. Sliould the House be of opinion that a reduction of expence at the present moment was absolutely necessary, no. other course could be pursued but resisting such enormous grants as those, proposed by the Secretary at War. He con- cluded by moving a vote for 71,000, instead of 81,000 men. Sir II. VIVIAN bad examined the estimates, and con- tended that the proposed reduction was founded on errone- ous calculations. If 10,000 men less were voted, no ex- changes of regiments could take place to the East or West Indies. He added that if Mr. Hume continued the course he had recently pursued, Government would have a great accession of friends both within aud without the House. Mr. H. CALVERT contended that some of the garri- sons abroad were larger than necessary. Mr. HUME justified the proceedings of Monday night last. Millions were not to he voted away after one or two o'clock in the morning, without the utmost resistance. After an animated debate the House divided, whe n the numbers appeared to be— Noes, 211— Ayes, 115— Majority against the Amend- ment, 96. Mr. DAWSON, we understand, than moved as an amendment, a reduction of 5,000 men, upon which the \ Committee again divided— Noes, - 195— Ayes, 130— Majority against the Amend- ment. 65. Upon our re- admission, we found that the remaining items of the estimates were severally agreed to. The House resumed, aud the Report was ordered to be brought up to- morrow. Thursday, March 15. Sir R. C. FERGUSON called the attention of the Ilonse to what he described as a Breach of Privilege, arising out of some observations in the Morning Post, alluding to Mr. Creevey's conduct ina recent transaction with Sir George Warrender. The Gallant General con- tented himself with having called the attention of the House to the paragraph, without making any motion upon it. On the motion of Mr. JAMES, a petition from Car- lisle was referred to a Committee of Privileges to examine into the conduct of certain Magistrates of that place who called in the military during the lateelection. On bringing up the Report of the Army Estimates, to reduce the number of men from 81,000 to 71,000, the amendment, after some discussion, was negatived, on a division, by a majority of 116 to 46. After a protracted debate of three nights, the Army Estimates have thus at length been agreed to. Friday, March 10. SCOTCH BURGHS. I, ord A. HAMILTON' moved that the Inverury Burgh I'etition be referred to the Scotch Burgh Com- mittee^ Lord FIFE defended the conduct of the Magistrates of Inverury. Mr. HUME supported the petition. The Noble Lord seemed to be. ignorant of the case ; it was, not a political question, but was one of justice. The Noble Lord's friends had squandered away the money of the burgh, aud the object was to elude inquiry. Lord FIFE explained. Mr. J. P. GRAN T was desirous. that the petition, instead of being referred to the Burgh Committee, should belaid before a select Committee. He would not now press such an amendment, as it would delay the question inio which the House was about to enter, and which was of so important a nature. Sir G. CLERK hoped the Noble Lord would perse- vere, and he was desirous that the petition should be re- ferred to the Burgh Committee. Sir J. NEWPORT moved that this debate be ad- journed till Monday, as it was likely to occupy much time, and the motion was carried. Mr. PLUNKETT moved the second reading of the Catholic Bills. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman went at great length into the proposed laws, and took oc- casion to observe, that he would submit in the Committee some clauses by which it would be necessary to modify and improve the measure. The principal of these, he said, were an explanation of the Oath of Supremacy, and a clause, exempting the offices of Lord Chancellor,- or Keeper of the Great Seal, and that of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, from the general admissibility of Catholics. Mr. BATHURST proposed as an amendment, that the Bill should be read a second time that day six months. The debate was prolonged to three o'clock on Saturday morning, and concluded by an eloquent speech from Mr. Canning in favour of the measure. On a division, the motion for tho second feudiujf was cardial by a majority From the LONDON GAZETTE, March 17.. Whitehall, March 12. Ilis Majesty has been pleased to appoint the Right Hon.

On Friday his Majesty purposes returning to the Pavilion at Brighton. The public are under infinite obligations to Mr. IIume » and the members by whom he is supported, for their per- severing and vigorous opposition to the profligate and wasteful system on which the military expenditure of the country is conducted. It is only by attacking abuses in detail that there is any chance of enforcing economy and retrenchment. REVOLT OF THE PiEDMONTESE ARMY. The following intelligence has been received this day by Express : PARIS, March 15.— The annexed Bulletin has just been made public. To the accounts it contains, the fol- lowing facts have transpired, which were announced by an express arrived this day from Milan, viz. that all is ready there to receive the Constitutional Sardinian troops, and that in fact the Austrian authority is already over- thrown there; that many officers of the Imperial army aie arrested for having refused to march, and manifested revolutionary dispositions. BULLETIN. TURIN, March 15. — It has been impossible for the Government longer to conceal the events at. Turin, of which i(. received information by a telegraphic dispatch.— It was on the 10th that the garrison of Alexandria, 10,000 strong, proclaimed the Spanish Constitution. At this news the King of Sardinia wished to march the troops that were at Turin, but they refused, crying, " The Cons- titution of the Cortes for ever !" The Prince of Carignan and the General G. ifienga were sent to Alexandria, but on their arrival there cried, The Constitution of the Cortes forever'" and placed themselves at the head of the movement. In this crisis, the King of Sardinia thought to calm the ferment by offering to grant the French charter, but it has been refused All the garri- sons in Piedmont have followed the example of that of Alexandria. We have certain informa- ion that the Prince of Carignan and General Giflenga, at thr head of 25 000, have marched for Milan, and it is believed that they would enter that city this day, 15th March. The cry of the Picdmontese troops is not, only that of " Vive ] a Cons- titution ! but also that of " Death to the Austrians !" It is not doubted that Genoa is constitutional at this moment, and that all Italy will be so in less than ten days. The accounts conclude with these remarkable words— " ALT. ITALY IS IN A FLAME !" The news of the^ e events has produced the greatest sensation at Paris ; the Ultras are in the most complete despondency. All eyes are turned towards Daliphne, and towards Lyons. The effect on the Funds was consi- derable. The movement at Turin was calculated to break out on the 15th, and not before, but the arrests hastened it by five days. 44 I desire, therefore, that at the approaching audit, you will return to each of my agricultural tenants the sum of twenty per cent. on their respective payments. I am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, .,, . NORVlftjMBERL^ b. ". Messrs. Smith, Bnston, and Law?, Alnwick Castle." On Saturday, when the substance of the above letter was communicated to the corn markets in this town the farmers present received the intelligence with loud and hearty cheers. HIGHLAND SOCIETY OF LONDON. Tha first. General Court of this Corporation for the pre - sent season Was held on Saturday, at the Freemasons' Tavern, S. MGLIlivray, Esq. V. P. in tiie Chair. A Variety of subjects engaged the Meeting. The Honorary Secretaries laid before them a Report of the Proceedings of the Directors, containing a very gratifying account of the state of the Society, and of a branch Society which had been formed in Upper Canada, under the direction of the Rev. Dr. Macdonald, the Catholic Bishop of that Province, vvhose letter was ordered to be entered in the minutes of the Corporation, with a vote of thanks for the exertions and zeal of his Lordship, in promoting the. ob- jects contemplated by the ^ Society. The Report having been read and confirmed, a Report was brought up from the Committee appointed to decide on the merits of the j Essays " on the state, character,, and manners of tiie. Highlanders," written by the candidates for the prize of twenty guineas, and the medal offered by the Corporation for the best Essay on that subject. It appeared that the Committee had adjudged the prize to the writer of the Es- say signed A. G. L. and had also reported that the un- successful Essays were highly creditable to the talents of the writers, upon which the thanks of the Meeting were voted to them. The Election of the Officers for the en- suing year then took place,- when it appeared that His Royal Highness the Duke of York and Albany had ac- cepted the Office of President, and had expressed bis in- tention of honouring the next Meeting of the Society, on the 21st March, the anniversary of the battle of Alexan- dria, with his presence. — The other Officers elected were VICE- PRESIDF.

John Watson, Esq. D. James Mackinnon, M, Wm. Mackenzie, The Rev. Advices, we understand, have reached town from Italy* ; stating that a strong Russian armament, is actively pre- paring in the Black Sea, for the purpose of co- operating effectively with the Austrian army against the Govern- ment of Naples. Sicily is said to be the chief object of the Russian expedition, and an opinion prevails in Italy that by some secret understanding between the combined Powers, Russia is to hold possession of the island of Sicily so long as the Austrian army shall maintain the occupa- I tion of Naples and the Neapolitan territories on the Pe- j ninsula. The Russian Minister at the Porte has receiv- I ed instructions to demand from the Turkish Government. 5 a free passage for the Russian fleet, and the Austrian I Minister is to promote this object with his utmost influ- j ence. Russia has long desired most earnestly to possess » a naval establishment in the Mediterranean, and Sicily offers the most tempting means of enabling that ambitious Power to realise her wishes. Mr Freeling, Secretary to the Post- Office, has, in answer to an inquiry informed the Chamber of Commerce of Manchester, that no impediments are likely to present themselves in the conveyance of the correspondence with Naples and Sicily, in the usual and ordinary course. The celebrated Spanish General Morillo, the late ad- versary of General Bolivar, arrived in town on Sunday last- on his way to Spain. The Lords of the Admiralty have, by order, bearing date the 10th instant, signified to the Commander- in- Chief at Portsmouth, that his Majesty has been most gra- ciously pleased to command that in future, the Union Jack, or flag colour of the United Kingdom, when hoisted on board any of his Majesty s ships or vessels of war, in the ports or harbours of Ireland, anil having on board the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, shall bear in the centre of it theescutcheon of the arms of Ireland, viz. , a harp, & c. This distinguished mark of favour towards Ireland will not fail to be construed into a fresh proof of his Majesty's intention to visit that country. On Wednesday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when Capt. J. Blanchard was sworn into the command of the Marquis of Wellington consigned to Madras and Bengal. Jamaica Papers to the 20th of January, announce the convalescence of the Duke of Manchester. His Grace, was able on the 15th to attend to business, and public meetings were convened to congratulate him upon his re- covery. BRITANNI A ON COPPER COIN— To Charles II. for his partiality to his accomplished cousin, Frances Stewart, we owe the elegant representation of Britannia on Our copper coin. He admired and even idolized this celebrated beauty, and assailed her with compliments. It was from one of the medals struck to perpetuate his ad- miration of her delicate symmetry, that Britannia was stamped in the form she still bears on our half- pence aud farthings. The following Letter has been circulated from the Auditor's Office j Alnwiek- Castle, amongst the dif- ferent bailiffs upon the Duke of Northumberland's estate, being a copy of his Grace's instructions to his- Commissioners :— " St. James's- square, 24th Feb. 1S27. " Gentlemen,— I regret to Ic'arn, from a variety of sources, the increasing difficulties of the agricultural inte- rest ; hut I have derived my information more particularly from several petitions on this subject, which have been re- cently presented to the two houses of Parliament. With the tenor of these petitions I find it impossible to concur, because experience has proved the inefficacy of a Corn Bill ( the favourite object of these petitioners) ; and above all, because I question the justice of an attempt to exone- rate ourselves at the probable expense of that large portion of our fellow subjects who are engaged in commercial, ma- nufacturing, and trading concerns. 4< I should, however, be a landlord unworthy of that just and honourable body of men who occupy my estate in Northumberland, if I could hesitate, as an individual, to mitigate that distress, which in my opinion under the pre- sent circumstances of the country, no legislative enactment cat* with propriety diminish.

John M'Grigor, the other Piper, is engaged, it appears, in collecting pibrochs in the Highlands for theuseof theSociety, The utmost hilarity and harmony prevailed through the evening, and the com- pany did not separate till a late hour.

ALARMING FIRE.— Sunday morning, about one o'clock, a fire broke out in the shop of Mr. Cameron, druggist, High Street, opposite the Cross, which at lir- t had a most threatening appearance. On its being perceiv. ed, ai nn was instantly given ( o the Police, a great num- ber of whom, and the fire engines belonging lo the dif- ferent insurance offices, were quickly on the stop. From a deficiency of water . for some time, and the inflammable nature of the materials in the shop, the interior was com- pletely consumed,, and the flames threatened deitruclim to the neighbouring houses, A supply of water having however been obtained, the power of the engines imme- diately checked the. progress ofthe fire, but not „ n< n. as already stated, it had completely consumed the contents of Mr. Cameron's shop and Mr. Skeltnn's. watchmaker, immediately over it. The contiguous shop of Mr. Green! also a uatcli- maker, being separated only bv a wooden partition, was likewise very much injured • and the runn- ing of tie water into ihe ware- room below, part of the extensive premises of Messrs. Constable & Co. Booksellers, did cousin rable damage to some of their stock. The fire was completely got under by three o'clock. We are glad to. learn ' hat Mr. Camergn and Messrs. Constable and Company, are insured. The other individual,, we regret to hear, • re not insured. The cause of the fire has'not been ascertained. SCOTS RJXA'RUPTS. James Ilafthill,' Merchant. Aberdeen.

FERDINAND, is aware that he possesses 110 qualities, that can by any means reconunend him to an enlightened and re- generated people. His sole dependence rests upon the prejudices of the ignorant 111 favour of heredi- tary despotism, and priest- craft, the steady ally of tyranny. Ali intelligent Spaniards must have con- cluded, from the impunity with which the authors ofthe massacre of Cadiz were allowed to escape, that they had not acted without the knowledge and approbation of the higher powers. The patriotic Spaniards liave given unpardonable ofleuce to their Despot, by limiting his powers, and depriving him of his favoured IIolv Inquisition ; but they must go farther, if they would be secure from his intrigues,, and fully establish1 the liberty of the country.. If, at first, the. v thought to avert the hostility of the Holy Alliance bv preserving the Monarchical Form of Government, and the Bourbon Dynasty., the conduct of the. allk'S towards Naples ought to con- vince them of their mistake. These Potentates have declared tlrav determined opposition to all Re- form originating with the people; they still main- tain the doctrine, that the many were born for the few; and that a- hereditary Monarch, however weak, in intell « etj'' 0ud stained by whatever crinics, is a sacred personage, whose opinions and commands aye ngt to be questioned. Were the Crown of Spain elective, there can he little doubt that FER- DINAND would lie anions the very last that the esting country, now tlio useatre' of tear, 11 but of small extent, and the opposed armies, it is believed, are not disposed to procrastinate. It was reported in London on Saturday last, that the advanced guard of the Austrian army had gone over to the Neapolitans ; but the strong gales that had for two days prevented the arrival of mails from France left it still doubtful, 011 Monday, whether anv such event had taken place. But where shall the spirit of Revolution stop ? The Emperor AIJfXANDEft is said to have been summoned home, OJJ account of unexpected events ; and tire close, contiguity of France to the Piedmontese territory, has excited great apprehensions at Paris, that Lyons, Gre- noble, and other strong places in the Neighbour- hood, may " be roused by the example of Turin aijd Alexandria. In short, the repose of Europe is any- thing but what Let'd CASTL'ERKAGII calculated upon, when he seriously maintained, that the. de- tention of NAPOLEON at St. HelenaWas all that was necessary to secure the peace of the Continent. The Emperor of Austria, however; thinks some- thing more than the detention of. his Son- in- Law necessary to the tranquillity of his dominions, and he liaf lately, by an Imperial Decree suppressed the Lanensteriari Schools for mutual Instruction, lately established at Milan, His maxim is, that to pre- serve his people- good subjects., they must be kit m ignorance. Iu oiir. p. apar. of last week, we expressed . onr he- lief tiiat, . long before this time, Lima and Callao are in possession of the Patriots, and suliseqttent . . advices render our o; . t. 1011 more and more" probable. ' Lord't/ GCli'' R ANK h: td, early in December, made a tiitist, gaDttiw , attack upon some ships of war, pro- tected by, the batteries of CaHao, which he succeed- ed in cutting' out. General SALL MARTIN was within sixteen miles of Lima, in such a situation, that he could intercept supplies by land, while the squadron of Chili strictly blockaded the port. Lord COCHRANE had received a wound during the above- mentioned attack, but had agaia quite recovered, when the kiSt accounts ca « e away. immediately t"> l>? efccfeita accommodate tits tongrfgi- tion and their new pastor. A lad, named Graham, effected his escape from the jail of Stonehaven, on Monday week, and has not since been heard of. RICE OL' FKOVISIOXS, & C. IS THE AEELTOEEN, MARKET, VESTERDAV.

Do they repent the want of a hereditary King, and a Nobility that, as Mr. BURKE expressed it, " whether Providence may have conceded common sense or not, must, as J a matter of necessity, be rocked and dandled into Legislators •?" Or do they Still recognize political wisdom in the maxim, that no irwn ought to ob- tain distinction in the State, until his conduct has been approved bv h; s fellow- citizens ?

Incase of any changes or alterations thia. may- take place, re 11- tive to the b" r, cbminantfers of . hips must, in passing the Soun< l, ever refer to the more recent, accouirts to' be had there.- The channel or passage, into the harbour is at present straight and direct with the beacons i 1 one, 8.

The spirit manifested by the brave Neapolitans, upon the. return of the Duke de GA t, 1.0 from Lay- bach, with the insulting ultimatum of the allied Sovereigns, afforded a ' convincing proof, that they were determined to defend their Liberty and Inde- pendence to the last extremity. 1' hat they might not be able to cope with the disciplined troops of Austria, in their first rencontre, appeared but too probable ; yet, the alacrity with which they march- ed to meet the enemy 011 the frontiers, and enthu- siasm manifested bv all in the common cause, gave reason toliope for tlieirultimate success. Succeeding events, however, have altered the situation ofthe contending parties, and the probabilities of success. The Holy Alliance imagined, that it had to act against Naples single handed, and reckoned upon the co- operation, or at least the neutrality of other Italian States.
