The proposed Vote of £43,864 for the Navy Po osce having been read, Mr. J. ht R TIN moved, as an amendment, are. ductiou of the vote of £€7ooo, on account of an item to that amoont for contingencies, of which no parte aims had hems given. sir G. WARREN DER. said; that the particulars mo ul,l be given to nprrow, and if the Hun. Gentle man was then diss tisfied, he might object to it on the Report.— . llw Committee then divided—For the Amendment 57—Against it Is3—Majority 96. u po n our re-admissii , n to the Gallery we found the Committee in conversation with regard to the se. tur i t i e s of persons engaged by the Viet's:tiling-Office. Mr BARING asserted, that very few of the secu rities were.ge. d ; that ut of 400 persons employed, 40 h a d not v.tkci security. Mr. CROKER questioned this statement, but pro mied to inquire jot', the subject. Sir J. NEW expressed a hope that no Mem bers af that house would be found to have been en gaged in contracts, as on former occasions, when the se curities were lost which , pledged the contractors.— At least, such was.the statement made when the goes sjenwasbrought under theconsideration of that House. Mr. CRO K ER premised to inquire upon the sub ject alluded to by the Honourable Baronet. Mr. TIE R NEY again adverted to the appointment dthe Commissioner (Conyngham) at Woolwich, and tl e e xpenses connected with it. Sir G. WARRENDER observed, that this ap. pointment was made originally by the Administra.' t i es o f 1806, and that appointment it was necessary tocominue for the care of the naval stores entrusted to his s uperintendance at both Woolwich and Deptford. Mr. BARING said, that there was an apparent esters o f 440,000 on this charge, which certainly re risked explanation. In 1813 the men were victualled at Is. a man ; but by these estimates they are charged at i s . 6d. a maw, so that the excess of this was ‘40,9146 over that of the preceding year : and yet the ' F ashions of every kind were so much cheaper that Mere should be a diminution of one half instead of au increase of one half. Mr. CKOKER thought this a case requiring ex. pkutton, and capable of being fully explained. The istimates of the former years were wrong, and would art meet with the exigencies of the service. The Admiralty had now brought the proper Estimates fully before the House. For sixty-two years before 11:98, there was no difference in the Estimates in this respect; but Mr. Pitt then made the Estimitet. Ic cor rected to what they ought really to tie stated at. In 16( 6, the Harbour Estimate was at Is. and Is. 4d. white the Sea Estimate was raised to 2s. id. per dion. But now the Admiralty had made out a tninote and • genuine Estimate, such as should have been produced to 181'6. at present the sea victualling was Is. Bd. and that of the harbour was Is. tid. a man per di.m. Mr. BARING said, Ile was willing to ade.it that tl:e espial ition of tie Honourable Secretary was a satisfactory one; but still he thought the manner in which the matter was managed teas a slovenly one. After some further observations trout MI. CituKER, Mr. BARING, Sir G. Hove, Sir J. Nv.vponT, and Sir J. YOakat, the question was car Heel. ._Up n the item, that AC1,179,84.1. 7s.

T:te person whttaupposes this picture to be overcharged will find himself mistake... As far u extensive and diligent enquiry and research, and commuui:ations from thffereet districts and from person, of the highest respectability residing in counties distant from each other, have afforded information to the writer of these observations, this picture is not coloured too high 1 all these evils exist in a greeter degree than he has painted them particularly in Ireland and in Wales, and iti some of the western counties, and even in Norfolk, and other improved districts. In someplace' the lands are actsially deserted, and groiving no other crop than weeds. In Ilunengtionshire It is sail, that a circuit of 3000 acres is abandoned, and in other places, and ic mime not far distant from the Metropolis, the like occurrences may be wend ; and Mall prudent proprietors of the soil are consent to forgo their rents rather than suffer . their farms to be me enanted and throwta out of cultivation, and the labourers deprived of employment, and the poor of their allotted means ut support." Can it surprise any one that such a state of distress should create alarm ? that means should be sought to avert or remedy the evil ? that many mistakes should be entertained respecting the cause or causes of the calamity, and, in consequence, many vague, crude, and impracticable sug•gestions be thrown otit in the shape of remedies ? The evil has not been the growth of a night, nor will it be rooted out in a day ; but it is ever the bias of shallow politicians to per suade themselves that by legislative enactments they can perform any thing they may desire. Let this be put to the test in the most direct way imaginable, and they will soon perceive that, in spite of them selves, they must wait the result of some more tedious process. For example, 41 Corn is too ekap." W,iy do you not„at once, for this is what you aim at, de clare by law, that it shall fetch a certain price ? You startle at this. Take another remedy. " A large : crop hat produced the present distress whethei the Corn for sale be kept to yuur scale of quantity I) ) short crops or by any other means, the result must see: the same. Why not enact then that every farmer in the kingdom shall, On it specific(' and early dal, burn or other a destroy every fourth or third or secoi,d stack in his barn-yard ? This to a certainty wouid enhance the price of Corn. When you have exami ned this propisal you ferh•sps find that it would not reuledy the present evil. What is the evil unuer which yon la')onr ? A drain upon yi.ur Estates beyond your 1112 illS•10 Jc -Iray ! This is tile real tact, argue upon it as I , ing a. you wid. You nave but •one of two vinedies— Either increase your means, or diminish the drai I* If you cannot du the one you must effect the other— or you MUsL be ruined.—Wouht you d. b‘ith ? cic.rse the income and lessen the czp-ildsluie ? T I is not in your power—by any enactin nts. You c neither enhance nor redacr thy price of Cwin. L.. every other niarket..biecourniidity, the price wel influenced by circuaiseances, ~ verwhichyoa have ne. controul. Nay more. It is not for your linear,. eventually, that the pree of Carr, should he high ; ft rif lucid and sustenance generally be must the price of sahour—ont merely that be,troi, • on your own lan.fs, but all the taly•ur and ingenuity' bestowed upon' the manufactures of the cotritry : and, coos, quelitiy, you mast pay a higu price fur , your necessaries. But this is the smallest part a the evil that would ensue. The present is not a question between diff, rent classes in the same community ; nor sli. utd .1 merge into a trial of strength and sk:11 and address, ne t ted to shift the load from one,class to anov.er.— It is a question between Britain and the Worl,!. Whence have we hitherto derived our prosper, ty ? From our spirit and enterprivr—from cur suile'rior industry as a Nation. NO system which would in its operation 'restrain the diliusion of our blanufac.. ! tures can promoa the Agricultural Interest. On the contrary, the sure—the only way to restore your tin-. mer prosperity, must have for its object to turn the balance of trade with other countries ih favour of ! your own. In no other manner can you increase the general stock of the general community ; for ally thing short of this will be found to resolve itself into the mere transfer of money from the right to the ltit pocket, and the community must still labour under' the sante difficulties. ' But though the question, on its broadest prinCi pies, should be viewed in relation to ourcommer cial intercourse with other countries; and in this view it is undeniable that . low prices, compensated by re► treochment of expenditure, is fur the general good.' it will not follow that, therefore, no atcempt•sltould be made to equalize the pressure of the distress as much as possible. On the contrary, though quackery is to be execrated as dangerous, the workings of the ma lady • should be well examined, and every prudent remedy should be stmight. Among these, the opera-' tion ot the system ot the Poor rates and Trtnes calf loudly for a cool, deliber.te, and deep investigation.

The Princess Maria Carolina, whe is about to be married to the Duke de Berri, is the issue of the first marriage of his Royal Highness the Hereditary Prince of Naples with Maria Clemeatina, daughter nE the Emperor Leopold. It is said that it will be the Duke of Havni who will receive the Princess on the frontiers. Yesterday, half an hour after the arrival of the steam boat Eliza at Paris, thy Duc d'Angouleme went on board, and visited the vessel in every part. The Eliza felt Rouen at one o'clock on Monday : she effected the voyage film Rouen to Paris (100 leagues) in sixty hours. A barge drawn by 20 horses could not sail this distance in less than 20 days and with the current favourable. The passage of the steam boat was impeded by the currents and the damage which she had experienced dining her sea voyage. The draught . of water (five feet) is also against her. This is the draught requitate for sea voyages, but in fivers it may be much less. PARI:4, MARCH 30.

My expectation is, that these prophecies will fulfil themselves.— Our democratic leaders, at least some of them, already tall: of the renewal of the war as probable : by and by they will speak of it as certain. In the mean time we are voting large sums for ordnance, arsenals, tuilitaty stores, Sec. To these England can neither be blind nor deaf. She will see what is done, and hear what is said, and will of course make pre. paratiots for her defence. In this way both nati,,os will c om e to b e arme d for war, and in the expectation of it.
