The c ne...ittee of eel, ction had an ardtions duty to perform ' sad they endeavoured in discharging th at duty to pay doeregatell to the convenience of boa. nwestaes. At the meeting albs railway committee that morning it was toned that one of the members was emit; and they were, flank's, unable to premed.

H. we wiry to say th at the :Niece. of the boa. nicioter Le the Meta aunty was considerebly aggravated by the fat t that be wee wored personally by the suointonfag Meer. The reties el the house wen clear and distinct to this inattet; at the semi thee it should be borne in mind that the hon. gantlanaa had not long been a mem ter of the holm However, it wrs the duty of the honourable member to bAod serene/ad the ram of the bon= sad what were his duties in regard to than. (Hear,) He conclo.led by moving that Mr. Hessessy be adored to attend the committee on railway icrosp.No. 1, and that that committee have leave to sit to- morrow, notwithstanding that the doctoral= is stan iiag order No. 4 had nut been tined by Mr. Hennessy. (H•or, hear.) Mr. RIDLIY, a. chairman of the committee referred to, mid he had reason to believe that the expenses occasioned by the Masco of Mr. Heaumay would amount to at hag 4001. Mr. BOUVERIE thought that the motion made wee quite Lned•rtuate, considarbeg the inconvenience which bad been oc easlobed by the abeisoe of the hon. member, and the trouble whilithechoirroan of the ODOI mitts, of selector took toomenit the convecieace of hon. immben. Es should move ea an amendment that the her. member be ordered to attend to his place in the house forthwith. (Hear ) Coker! PATT EN said he had jest been informal that the his. member had goat to Ireland. It might, therefore, be • great inconvenience to him if he were ordered to attend forthwith. The SPEAKER then put the question, when the maid meat was adopt et CARLISLE ELECTION PETITION. Mr. CORBETT brought up the report of the committee, which waled that Sir d. graham and Mr. Levan had been duly elected. DUNDALK ELECTION PETITION. The SPEAKER aanutioced that he had received informa tion that it wag wit Wended to proceed with the pain= complaining of the return for Dundalk. WEYMOUTH ELECTION PETITION. Mr. E.

He sppeiled to both ad-s of the house if it was right that his b in. friend should be asked to submit to the prowure that we. so often pot epos him on this question. A w•eb ago the noble lord the Foreign Seers wry requested hie hen. friend to edjourn his motion, and even wrek the noble led said he would prefer waiting tiU he thou! ! have a full opportunity of answering the question that evening. la the otter how* this quanta: ban b,•en dis cusso•t without pepere,and the public would begin to thick that the Howse of Commons had absolved themselves altogether from discussing this questicie. lie appealed to the govern. maul, as be thought this was thesereper time, to disease this =deter. They all fel.. that from toe want of information on the subject, the conduct of the government was looked upon in no favourable light by the publie ; but be believed if the question rein. on that evening they should be able to die cuss it fairly. (Use•, beer.) The hos. berm*, that he might be in ords r, concluded by moving the adjournment of the house, Lord J. RUSSELL said that la 'newer to the appeal made to him there should certainly be so occasion to maw If. There were some papers now which he could promise and rips the bou.,member moved for copies be s.ould have n iditticolty in c .mplyieur with that motion ; and if the ques tion woe whether the government behaved well or ill in this metier, he thought the house would Se much better able tokulp of that whoa the papers were before them. (Hear, he car.) But es those members who were in the house last night had made up their mind., the house having gone fit. tome hour. tato the matter of that commercial treaty with France, it would be denirable to proceed that evening with and that did sea to him a good rown for post poning the disc.u•ion till after they had disposed of the treaty. (Hear, hear.) Mr. KINGLAHE said If his motion could be supposed to convey any rut or implied censure on the govern. men , ' he Amnia have felt it would be ve r y unkind to attempt any operation of that Iced stilton: pogo. But when his bun. friend the member for l'ontetrect &eked him, on ni reasonable grounds that he knew of, to putpmie %motion which he conceived to be very important, be mmt say that from information he had re. 3rived, time was of vital mi optit in this wetter. if the noble lard pad bin able to make any statement to the house which would hew. flu t of aasurirg him that on • future day they should stand in the same poeiiion al they did now, be should have postpooed hi. motion ; but so the noble lord bad stated nothing of the kind, he conceived he ought to persevere with it. QUEEN'S TAXES. in reply to Kr. Duircounr, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER mid that government bed so intesitiu of proposing any measure foe the oatmeal sad aompulsoly transfer of the Quota's taxes to government °fibers. Bet in same parte of the country there existed a strong desire t h at there should be • power given, when the local authorities desired it, for the voluntary clanger of those taxes to tits encore of the revenue; and it was the intention of the government to introduce a measure in the preheat seesicn for that purpose. As to • second question of the boa. meniher with regard to the order of guarding with the resolutions in cominittes, ha proposal to act upon • promise ha made the other night, that the spirit duty should be iostponed till the last resolu. dos of the treaty with Mr. DUNCOMBE said that u the right hoe. gentleman had amended his motion regarding the duties uton spirits, ha should amend Ida notice, and move that the duty on spi rits should be 9.. leaved of Bs. 61., as proposed by the Chan of the Each. goer. a reservation would have been reads in the present treaty. These two previews contain ret 000 soak, who in the event of any easezetion of Savoy to Frame earnestly desire that they may be beerporated with Switzerland." (Hear, hear.) Besides this, the cry of the whole of the Swiss press weal for the maleness'* el the MMus quo, and if that were disturbed the beegivinellen of Meneetral proviso:ea Thew provisoes I still melenemed their Mfg= atteolusent lo the Howe of L Savoy, but if that hews gave them up their only desire was for incemegellon with the Swiss Coofede- L ration. • deelientka that ow, by nice bun , deed and fifty et the to, hod been circulated, sat she feedieg i = li neglied It was deserving of the Ide=r d edit. That wits., fa enetitaioa, said, " Dana erne u d'uae sepratiell de /a Savoie, le Fencigny et I. Cheblais me vow:Wad par Nal Francs* mats toleraient plutet lour =wiles i I. Snlese." Surely it would not promote the joy of Daly at her own eafranchhement if it were thus iwohaterl at the arms et these small but brave and tree welmunhise. (Cheese.) He appealed to her Majesty's government to bring their potrahl influence to bear vela the question, sad he patedeed them that the Howe of Commons would support them fa their efforts on the idde of independence and nationality. (Loud cheers.) He appealed to them to act in immune* with the esatannate which bad been so oasis expressed by the noble lord the member for Tiverton end the noble lord the member for London. He iloatad that they would carry on their ne =tons not only with oonciliatkm but with power, f a r he that never woe power more wanted. The eyes of Europe were anxiously turned towards this °Gantry, to see what policy she would pursue. Italy was bursting in free dom. As Byron beautifully said— " e t a, / Time, which bath wing'd thee with tea amend nets Of thine imperial garment, shall deny, And bath denied, to every other sky, Spirit. which soar from ruin. Thy decay Is still (mpregaate with divinity, Which gilds it with revivifying ray." And the revivifying rays of that freedom would cast its bright illumization upon all the surrounding counties. He eolo d the noble lord not to quench that light, but to nourish end sustain it in undiminished vigour. (Cie era.) He hoped that they would not throw the weight of English influence into the scale with exclusively Italian independence, but that they would alio endeavour to secure the independ e n ce of that ancient republic, which had so long, amid toe Week of em pires, stood the beacon light of constitutional liberty and the hems of the political ex il e . (Loud chow) If her Majesty's ministers did not follow a straightforward policy la this matter they would not meet with the support of the House of Commons, but If they could show that their policy, while not officiously intenneddling with the slides of other nations, had brought the powerful influence of this country to bear on the side of liberty and of justice, they would secure not only the sympathy end gratitude of tans of thousands of people in It and Switzerland, but they night count on that beet reward of any government, the confidence and approval of every Mendel civil and religious liberty. (Cheers.) - Sir G. GREY said he del not rise for the wpm.e of ex , pressing on the part of the government any dissent from the opinions which bad been expressed either by the mover or seconder of the motion, whale observations he believed were in complete unison with the sentiments both of that house and of the country. (Cheers.) The question which bed been raised we., no doubt, one of great European interest, and one which justly commanded a great share of public emo tion in this country ; it was one which therefore might well engage the atteotion of the House of Common., sad it was one upon which her Majesty's government was free to admit they had • right to give the fullest and most complete informa tion. (Hear, heat) To the la,tion, therefore, fur the _pro duction of all the correspondence, he was most reedy to went, merely with the trifling addition of "or extracte" in the wording of the motion. (Cheers.) However, he could not help thinking that • protracted discussion could be better maintained alter the house had been in possession of Woes papere, which would show the position of the question as regarded England, France, and &Miele. The house would then be able to judge fairly of the course which the government had adopted. Ills hon. friend had expressed a hope that there might be an unanitneus expression of opinion on this motion, and although there wee no way by which it could formally be 'worded, he (Sir G. Grey) was sore that no one who roes would offer any dissent to its general purport. Every one in that hotter) must, be wee sure, join in earnestly deprecating the annexation of Savor—(loud cheers)—net only in the interest of that country itself, but in view of the complica tions which such annexation might entail on Europe. (Hear, bear.) He could not but think that his hon. friend who bed wooded the motion would have adopted • different tone In addressing the government had he reed the papers which were about to he produced. He would not then have called upon them for any disclaimer of political views or sub serviency to France in vilifying the commercial treaty, or of the fact that the treaty had the eligbtest connexi o n vrnatever I with the questions of Nice and Savoy. That ditiehdmer be (Sir G. (hey) wee prepared to make in the tallest manner, and be could assure the house that the commercial treaty bad not the slightest relation to those I matter.. (Hear, bear.) Their hands were midway free, and they had expressed in clear and unambiguous terms their I opinion of the annexation of Nice and Savoy. (Cheers.) One word as to the &opera% of his noble friend user him, which had been treated by Ws hon. friend as • voluntary pro posal for the teeeletnent of the &Wire of Emote. Hie hon. i friend said that they were dejarting from the neutrality of I England in pressing the annexation of Tuscany to Piedmont, and thus giving an excuse f.r the annexation of Savoy. When the whole correspondence waa on the table the house would see that this charge eras unfounded, and that his noble friend had volunteered no plan of his own, but merely ion passedupon the French, and othe r g overnmen t s , t h a t to . eil bereelf should be left the settlement of her internal Mfairs. (Cheers.) The whole object of the English govern meat was, that the settlement of the Mr jot of Italy should be left wholly to the people of that country (Hear, best.) He believed the policy of the government would be found to have been in strict accordence with the feelings of the hones and of the country, end he trusted the influence which they had used in the matter would not be exerted in vain. He would only farther express a hope that the house would not ewer into a pretreated debate on the present 000saion. Mr. DISRABLI-81r, Although this subject has been brought before the consideration of the bons* in a speech of startler ability by the hon. gentleman who introduc e d th e motion, I think, on the whole, it will be more convenient that I should chain' the privilege of refraining from giving any opinion on the subject generally until the ourreepondince bee been placed upon the table. At the same time I am not slurried the hon. member for Bridgwater (Mr. Kinglake) has made this motion; because, although we dad on the pelt of the governmi ut en extreme willingness and prompt informationi readiness to a ff ord the bou.e a.l the i n f orma ti on their power, end even an apparent desire to produce papeni, which certainly is a novel feature in her Majesty's =Whiten, I may be permitted to observe that If that feeling bed bees; displayed at an earlier period of the series it would have been more eati,fectory. It will be recollected that oa the 2nd of this month I made an inquiry of the government with respect to these when I received a very unsatisfactory reply, and it wee not until the chief minister of the crown in the other House of Parliament had made an admission which teemed afterwards to be regretted, that I wee enabled to learn there oettainly had been communications tenon ter Ma jesty's government and the French government on the sub ject of Savoy. But they were as fur back se July last year and the impression conveyed to the house by the government wee, that the whole question had died away • that it was not one of that urgent and pressing nature whi ch it is now uoi venally recognised to be, and the house was consequently entirely thrown off its guard. Then came an inquiry by an hon. member who had become possessed of certain information, and it was not until he had produced his information that we found the govern ment prepared to meet the bonne with freebies,. However I may feel it due to myself end others to press on an inquiry la this important matter, I ehall at previa ecrupulonely re frain from entering into the merits of the question. When the paws are in the possession of the home I em sure we shall all feel that no more important documents could be placed in oar hands. and the time will come when we shall be abbe to give the subject our grave delibetation. (Roar.) Mr. M. MILN ES agreed in the prudeace of deferring this dlecnaeloo, but at the same thus he wished to maks one of served/xi. He trusted, In the absence of all authentic in formation, the hones would not allow itself to be led away by mere enamours, °ewers implicit credit to assertions which, although made in, the:best possible' faith, could be nothing but assertions. Mr. BOWYER believed the object of the Emperor Napoleons wee to obrein by revolution and keeping everything in • state of uncertainty, • oomplets para mount power over Italy; and snob was also the opinion of many statesmen in that country. lie could not help thinking that if the Emperor of the French wee nut mater of 6i 0.000 men her Mojeity's government would have spoken in a different tone, end not celled him our good and faithful ally. A system of bullying the weak end truckling to the strong—whkh was not very creditable to this country—hod been carried is Ler years. It might be prudent to speak in a tarot's' manure of three who could do one harm, but he was guile sure it was not English.

With regard to the production of despatches the rule to be observed, I think, is this : That when in correspondence with • foreign govern. meet you have stated the views of her Majesty's govern went, you should not produce that despatch till that foreign government has had time toreoetve it, and if they should think proper, to answer it. I wrote • despatch to Lord Cowley, to be by him laid:before M. Thouvenel, who had a week or more to reply to it. I have no objection to produce that despatch, because if he thought It desirable he could have given an answer before that time. But it would be unfair to • foreign government to present • despatch, corn plaiaing perhaps, inquiring =dam with regard to the conduct of that government, without giving time to that toreign government to reply. (Hear, beer.) I listened with admiration, a. I am sure the weals house did, to thespeeches of my two hots. friends who moved and seconded this motion ; but at the same time, with regard to that family pact of which they hare spoken, I can only say that her Majesty. t have no diplomatic Information o f th e f act . Th e = a fr= ve a treaty having been entered into previous to the war has been, and up to the present time, repeatedly denied by the govenemenis of France and of Sardinia. (Hear, hear.) Teat that matter has been, and is still, in agitation, I cannot deny. Tee hon. baronet had said, and said truly, that the powers of Europe had guaranteed Chablais and Fancigny as neutral territory, and that if It pseud into the posereslon of France that neutrality would be affected. If the question was confined to these parts of Savoy which border on the Lake of Geneva, I think it would not be diffi cult to obtain from France • pastel those places for Switzer land, but we did not look to that object, we looked to pre serve the whole of Savoy—(hear, hear)—and we have not discussed that particular question to wants my hon. friend alluded, acd to which Switzerland naturally looks with the greatest anxiety. Another melted to which t h e ho- nourable baronet referred was the fourth point of the promettion which her Majesty's government made for the settlemeat of the affairs of Italy. I beg of him to =snider what wee the state of affairs Immediately pre vious to the proposal of a congress. The Austrian govern ment declared that If a single &minim soldier went into Central Italy, she, on the other hand, would march her army to oppose that entry of the Sardinian troops. On the other hand, the Emperor of the French declared to the Austrian ambassador in Paris that the moment an Austrian soldier marched across the Po the French troops would march to oppose them. Conceive how critical this position was, and bow dangerous to the peace of Europe. (Hear, gear.) The remedy for this state of things was to be the 000gresa. This extremely critical situation of 'Um could not last much longer because it was thought the congress was about to meet, act would find • remedy for this disorder. But it was announced by France in oensequecce of a communication from Austria that the conference was indefinitely postponed. At the same time none of these declarations were withdrawn —there was the rams danger of collision. Wee it not natural then for • government anxious for peace to make a proposition with • view to preserved's* peaceouid t 'meant the calatni ty of war from oocurring ? Accordingly her Mije sirs government mule prupoeitions with this view. The first wee, that neither ' Austria nor France should interfere in the affairs of Italy , without the general assent of Europe. We did not get the went of Austria to that proposition. We did, however, ob tain • declaration both at Vienna sad at London that Austria meant not to interfere beyond her own frontier; although she would not give up any of her own rights nor those treaties which bound her to maintain the rights of certain sovereigns, yet that it was not her intention to attempt by force of arms to maintain those treaties. This was of itself a great gain and security for the peace of Europe. (Hear, hear.) Tnen her Majesty's government went further in the fourth propo.eion, which says that it the provinces of Central Italy ' were determined upon governing themselves, or if they chose to annex to Sardinia, we would object to any force bring used to subvert such government, and in the other case would not object to Sardinia taking formal poseession. This • is in conformity with what we declared to be our policy from Jane to January, that the Italian people should themselves decide as to the bun of government they wished for them• selves. The hon. member for Dundalk had been able to speak his mind. (Laughter.) It meet have been painful to him, with the whole responsibility of the sentiments of Pope and oudinals resting ea him, not to be able to express them before. (Laughter.) We have now heard those opinions expressed, and what the hon. gentleman has to sty of en lain manifestations which took plus. To be furs there are manifestations that are not of much value—manifestations ' that are ensued by bed government, sad that are apt to be symptoms of revolution. The hon. gentleman might here heart of a great manifestati• non Helena°, Heath. The adviser of the sovereign of that day was asked by the King what that meant ? He (the =Aber), some what like the hon. gentleman himself, said—" Nothing; it is only the soldiers shouting for the acquittal of the eeven bishops." The King knew what that mantle-Wien meant, sad saw the danger which threatened his throne on that ocesnos. It was damper= for sovereigns to rely on such 1 =views as the hon. gentlemen. Was discontent to be ap passed—wse revolution to be prevented by saying that you would never reform • bad system of government ? We have beard of princes who, like the Grand Duke of Tose my, violated the fundamental compact by which they sat on the throne by withdrawing from the country, and the result, both in this country and in Tuscany, were very similar. (Hear, bete.) With regard to this immediate question I cannot but think that alteough in some violent newspapers a great deal of /xcited opinion has been manifested In favour of the annexation of Savoy to Francis, that is a course which the Emperor in his wisdom will loeg hesitate before he adopt.. (Hear, hear.) I cannot but see what every man may see, that it would produce distrust for two reaso.s. One reason is that each a policy would be is contradiction with that proclamation—that magnificent proclamation I must soy at the risk even of being accused of flattering the Emperor—which be issued. (Hear.) There is another reason why such a course would create distrait. Former encroach ments of France originated in small beginnings only on one side of a =entry, and yet afterwards they were the preen' , saes of conquests and the disturbers of Europe. (Hear.) I em afraid it Buoy were annexed, even though • meeting *Cheautfery was held is its favour, and even though the powers of Europe gyve their reluctant assent, it would be the precursor of • long period of dinned and apprehension. I b hew, finally, it would not teed to the strength of Femme Itself. (Hear, hear) A country like France, inhabited by • race s) warlike, and at the same time possess log in itself such resource., with such wealth and onion, does not depend for insecurity, its independence, or even its power, on the question whether the frontier is advanced nearer to the Alps or the Rhine, but oa its own resources, the spirit of its people, that unconquerable spirit of independence which rules amongst Its people, those warlike qualities; which have been displayed at all times, but which never more than in I the lest war have exalted the admirationof the world. (Hear, hear.) Such is the security of France. We know what has happened to France in our own day. In 1791, befoes she acquired Savoy—when her people were in a state of dis order and apparent anarchy—she war "Wicked by • formid able league, which extended from Turin oa the one side to , Berlin on the other. She was however able, by her own innate strength, and by the careful military disposition of her forme to repel those invader, and to conquer the very ter ritories from which she had been invaded. (Hear.) Tee tide of conquest rolled on, until at length her frontier extended from Hamburg in the north to Remote the south. Wes she then more secure? On the contrary, three years after these frontiers had been so extended her enemies entered the capital of the empire. (Hear.) Therefore I say It is not the right or the secure policy of France to attempt to extend her frontier. Her pretreat ruler, without attaining to those brilliant magus's of his mob% had perhaps more sagacity and prudence. (Hear, beer.) I have watched that cherseter, and I cannot believe thet—treeing the distrust likely to be created—using the apprehensions and feeling of hostility which might arias in Europe by the pursuance of such a prospect—l sonnet but hope that it will be abandoned in deference to the general sense of Europe. (Cheers.) The motion was then airteed to. THE SERPENTINE.

Mr. MASSEY brought up the report on the COSIOM6 Acts agreed to on the previous evening rsiative to the mum dunes, whion was agreed to. r ev—tir • ... article. He would now move resolution No. 4in the printed paper, which referred to th despplicstion of customs duties upon certain articles therein ted. Upon the tirst article, "agates or ocenalians, set," a bag discusei in arose regarding the construction and interpreta tion of the treaty, its principle, and its fairness and equity as a mutual contract and engagement. Upon the article of apples, Mr. BEN TINCIC rose (amidst some laughter) end sold he thought the inexplicable Gordian knot of this treaty woad have to be unravelled some day or the other with the sword. He thought the question of apples was one of comilerable importance. (A laugh). It seemed to him that free trader., whether of the old original school, as the hon. member for Birmingham, or the Chancellor of the Exchequer, his convert, of late years ignored altogether the existence of the rural districts of this country. He was no great producer of apples himself—(laughter)—but he recom mended hon. gentlemen who represented the rural districts, or rather the rural districts themselves, to fight their own battlee, or they would very likely be called upon to bear the whole burden of taxation. (A laugh.) Hon. gentlemen might laugh who were not apple growers any more than himself, bat he woad oak, wee it worth while, se he bad not heard of any agitation for the repeal of the apple laws— (langhter)--and therefore the proposal was wholly gratui tous—to Interfere with a description of article the losses upon which would chiefly sffsot small proprietors? Mr. RIDLEY said be anopoeed the hon. member was an advocate for the Norfolk bins. He thought, instead of the treaty, as the hon. gentleman seemed to suppose, being solved by the sword, if war was to be avoided at all, it would be in conaequenoe of the treaty. Mr. EWART said he was the member of a commission which bad discussed the question of removing the duty on apples, and it was then shown that it would be largely for the Desalt of the poor. (Hear, hear.) The articles of arms, brass manufactures, brocade, bronze, taxes, esoutclionc manufactures, and raw cherries, were I agreed to. The portion of the resolution referring to porcelain was then agreed to. "Corks, ready male, and squared for rounding," called up • warm bet unsuccessful champion of the British cork cutters in Mr. T. DeNCOMBR, supported by Sir F. BARING, a motion made by them to add the words " the prod uce of countries from which the export of cork wood is free " being negatived one division by 191 to 118, miter a long and ahem debate. An amendment, moved by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, to lumen the words, "produce or manu facture of, or imported from, France or Algeria," was agreed to. Mr. MACAULA.Y wished to know how far the house was free to discos the propositions of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Part of the resolutions now before the commit tee stated that the Queen had recommended parliament to do so and so, and he wished the government to state how far the house would be hoe to discuss time propositions. Lord J. RUSSELL said the Queen could not comply with • treaty by barely recommending the consideration of certain proposals to parliament. Teat, in plain languege, mast unless all those engagements which required the assent of parliament received that sanction. It would there to?* be perfectly competent for the Emperor of the French, if parliament dissented from any of the articles of the treaty, to refuse to ratify the remasndtr, or to propose a new treaty. Sir J. PAK [ROTOR said that the answers of the govern meat were ovaries. The question referred, not to the rejec- ' thin of aa entire article, but of some particular item—at dal flowery, for instance—of which there were teeny com prised in one article. Was the house free to reject any item which it thought impolitic without making it neotseary to re-open negotiations with France f Lord J. RUSSELL said that the right hon. gentleman was as competent to answer that pretion as the government wee. It woe a matter for the discretion not only of parlia ment, but of the Emperor of the French. It waanot very likely that the Emperor would throw aside the treaty on account of the rejection of such an Item as artificial flowers. But, sup posing the labium to be very strong in France that England was getting the best of this treaty, and that France was mad* the stave of England in the matter—(hear, hear)—it might be desirable to adopt the provisions of,ths Meaty with as little alteration as possible. (Hear, hear.) After • few words from Mr. WHITIMIDE, the chairman reported progress. and the house resumed. The Oxford University Bill, and the Administering of Fobs= Bill peered through committee. T►e ►oase adjourned at half-pat 12 o'clock. SAVOY AND NICE. Mr. KINGLA li E tnllel attention v to the rumours of a proposal to annex Savoy and Nice to the empire of France, la ceder, he said. to old tie an expression of the opinion of the bees upon tk.t propml, and which, he believed, would be ananiteoue. He read • c itumunication which he had received from Paris Let autumn, and extracts front French papers suggesting ground. for the tratafer —grounds which, he remarked, would have an extensive and dan gerous application. By the treatise of 1815 the northern portion of Bevoy (Chat:gala and Feucigny) was dicier/1 to particiote in the neutrality of Switzerland ; but if It became • part of Frazee, what, he raked. would biome of this guarantee, and of the integrity of Seitearlatol, which would be jets:mad is between two departments of Francs? This annexation would have an eintarrasaing elect upon our own freedom of action, and would nnettle the political relations of Europe.

New of the beer was ordered by Cap tain Goff, but one half barrel was charged to him. That beer was ordered by Dr. Phillip., the parish priest, and was charged to Captain Goff, because it was election time. George Fannon, a grocer at Roscommon, said that his bill for re &sellouts amounted to 451. He had never asked say one for payment since the election. Had beard talk of a peti tion.
