• • rers ' oa ded, when Gentlemen cotsidered the subject, they would not sanction that part of the measure. j j e certainly should oppose the clause relative to the as it now stood, by every means in 1.6 power. i v ir.V. FITZGERALD observed, that the Right H oe . Gentleman was sn much taken up with Ms otvn ular argument, that he seemed to forget that pitlC embraced a question of much more iropor twice than that of creating a Vice-Treasurer. It w ent, in fact, to consolidate the debts and revenues t he two countries. The Right Hon. Gentleman had not spoken correctly when he stated, that the B:U liras brought in, without proper information having been g iven «n the subkct. .He denied that this WAS die f ac t. When the motion, on which the Bill was fiwn jal, was laid before the House,. the scope of the pin was pointed out. And whatever information v ., is a fterwards wanted on the subjzct,.had since been iorly:p r ovided, by papers laid oil their table. PO.NSONBY contended, that the principle of theaill-had not been properly explained. Sir H. PARNELL defended his former state-, pot, as to the manner in which the inferior officers were a ppointed to the different Boards in Ireland.— on referring to the Report of a Committee of that . loose, it would be found, that the Lord Licuteirant, sod not the Boards, nominated persons to fill the in ferior offices. The saving, by this new plan, would tot, he was convinced, be so great, as the Right Ho 'vocable Gentleman (the Chancellor of the Exche. goer) had stated. • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER r id, the saving would be £B3OO per annum. He Amid not now enter into the subject at any length, l ige he was willing to accede to the suggestion of the Rieht Honourable Baronet (Sir J. Newport), to have the Bill printed, and to allow sufficient time for its -consideration. That Right Honourable Baronet he consi.leied as a valuable friend to the principle of the measure ; and, from his various hints, he expect ted much benefit would be derived. He had no doubt, that persons might be found who would fill the office of Vice Treasurer for £I2OO a year—but be was sure the House would not wish to confer a sitvatien of such responsibility on an officer of interior rank. Much complaint was made against the erec tion of a Vice-Treasurer, with liberty to sit in ['Arlie. gent ; hut, it should be recollected, that, 4 a for mer period, there were three Vice-Treasurers for Ire-• land, all of whom sit in the British Parliament. Sir JOHN NEWPORT said, it was very true, three Vice-Treasurers had at one time c;isted, for the administration of the fi nances of Ireland. But • cue of the great complaints of the people of Ireland Was, that' those Gentlemen, for a long time per formed their duti..s solay in England—they never came to Ireland at all. Mr. C. WY NNE said, the principle of the Bill Was, in his opinion, useful; and he thought that the addition o: A'l,ooo per annum, which was to be Bade to the , :aiety of the Chancellor of the Excl:e quer for England, was not too much—since, he be ttered, no thee WAS !)OM inadequately provided for; bet the hew Vice-Treasurer ought, he conceived, to beprccliwed f rum sitting in parliament. He ought so be welt pato, hut he ought not to have a seat in that, or in the ot!'er fit,use. ' Mr. BA NNIES said, that whatever station the 'Vice-Treasurer was taken out of ) it was right that be should execute the duties of hi. new situation him self.—(Hear.)—He also thought that this being a sew office, the person who filled it ought not to be . allowed, in compliance with the provisions of the 'mite of Qecen Anne, to take a seat in that House. If no other person took up this point, he would, in the proper stage, move an amendment, eihbraciog die principle he had just laid down. After some observations from Mr. Pumas, Mr. V. FITZGERALD, and Sir J. NEWPORT, the bill went through the Committee ; the Report was brought up, and ordered to be taken into further consideration on Thursday next. RAPE SEED. On the motion of Mr. BRAND, the House re solved itself into a Committee on Rape Seed. In the Conviittee— Mr. LI(AND stated, that there were three classes of persons interested in the importatirin of Rape Seed into this country-0 e Gieeniand Whale Fisheries, which were the best nursery for our seamen, the Oil. crushers, and the Woollen Manufacturers. These interests were contending. There were also to be considered, the interests of a large class_of our Agri- Colturalists, who would derive a very great advan tage from the imposition of such a duty on the im portation of Rape Seed, As would afford them a remunerating price on the production of that article. He understood that an application had been made by several Agriculturalists in a very extensive track ot the country, which bid been accustomed to pro- duce Rape Seed, to the Chancellor of the Exchequer. for pecuniary assistance ; but no grant of money could be of so much advantage to them, as would be a protecting duty on the production of Rape.— He expressed his intention of proposing two Resolu tions, of which ult. first would be for the repeal of the existing duties, arid the second, the imposition of ael.o per last on the importation of foreign Rape Seed. Two Resolutions to that effect being read, Lord MILTON objected to the measure, as being injurious to commerce, and expressed his intentio:: of t kiting the sense of the House on the Resolutions. Sir JOHN NEW PO RT supported the Resolutions, as being of advantage to tire interests ot Agriculture, and particularly of Ireland. Lord CIIAICBOUNE, Mr. BROUGHAM, and the CHAS yawn of the Excurount supported the Resolutions, and Mr. CURWEN and Lord MILTON having opposed them, the Committee divided—For the Resolutions, 4'l—Against them, 5 —Majority, V. MISCELLANIES. The Scotcb Distillery Acts were considered in a Committee, sv.l the Report was ordered to be broufbt.up to.day. hi the Committee of Ways and Means a resolution was pro.' iroed by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, that the. w claimed dividends remaining in the hand, of the Bank should be paid icto tke Treasury, as often as they exceeded X10%,000.

EVENING STAR. LONDON:. , I TUESDAY, JUNE 11, 1816. . TAM Fin/VAL Of Si. BAIIMAIAIHOIitIer at as sank: The intelligence received at LLOYD'S Coffee-house, and inserted yesterday in Our columns, of the outrage offered by the AlgerinesiO the British flag, has el cited as much astonishment as it has indignation. Bntish flag insulted!—Nonsense: British ships have been seized at Oran ! A British Commander—a British crew, and a British First Consul, have been' made prisoners there and sent to Algiers ! !—', Made prisoners !"—in other words sew into slavery, for that is the meaning of the expression in the vocabulary of the North of Africa. This intelligence reached us so late yesterday, that we could only give it a place without note or com ment. But it deserves, and will obtain particular attention from every person who feels for the honour ' of his country, and the safety of his fellow citizens. To what are we to a►cribe 44 the daring" of these lawless thieves and men-stealers ? To the impunity with which their crimes have hitherto been visited : to the bad policy which for too long a period guided the conduct of even the Government of our own country towards these Pirates, and .which has not even yet ceased to have a bAd influence upon their conduct : to the pretaimns held out to them to steal men, by suffelinp, Any of their captives - to remain in their hands, or, when relieved, task's so much a head for their ransom, as when cattle are taken out of Pound. The Americans have set an example to the Euro• r eam of the way in which they sh,itild ti eat these ene mies of civilization and the rights of humanity, and they deserve the praise of the civilized world s but Eiiripe, in taking the lesson, should go beyond the ex..mplc. Destroy the Tyrants—emancipate their subjects—establish European jurisprudence alougthe whole north coast of Africa. We can hardly speak on this subject with any kind of patience. Indeed we could almost say that we re joice at the capture of the Mary Ann—nay, we will rejoice if it shall prove the mean of exciting the in dignation of our Rulers to that pitch which shall in. duce them to reject all negotiation, treaty, or corn. promise, with a race of barbarians who have been the disgrace of the Western world for so many 3ges.— Hurl upon thAn the thunder of your navy. Send upon their supporters that sweeping destruction by which your warriors annihilated at Waterloo the las: h.pes of the fallen Corsican. Why s':euld you hesi. tate ?-1 7 .e.rope f the world will second and support your just vengeance—your nobler work of emanci pating the e::!aved natives of these fine rkgions. Are you afraid of jealousies ? Convert all the pits of North Africa into free ports, equally open to all Powers, and let all Europe guarantee their freedom. The number of persons who have emigrated from the United Kingdom, since the Peaco of Paris, is said to be almost incredible ; steered ships have been freighted for the express impose of carfying out these unhappy persons, and we fear that very often the ac commodation and provisions on board ex2ose them to horrors approaching to such as were formerly known under the emphatic name of the 44 horrors of the Middle Passage !!" In the last year his Ma jesty's Government, from the consideration that emi gration from certain parts of the kingdom, which were undergoing changes in the system of Agricul ture, and in political condition, could not be revert, tad, proviJed passage at a very easy rate to these ex patriated persons to the British Provinces, in North America, whereby, if they were lost as members of the parent state, they were not lost as subjects to his MAJESTY ; and some regulations were made with the Governors :Aimed for their settlement in such British Colonies or 'possessions; but, for some time past, Government has abandoned this seemingly most wise, as well as humane plan, of thus leading to British possessions, and thus retaining as British sub. jects, those who ate forced, or who, for other reasons, are desirous of quitting their homes and na tive land, and they are now lett to choose their new country as chance or fortune may guide tinem. Up to the present year we believe that emigration has taken place principally from Ireland and Scot land, but it is now going on to a most alarming ex tent from the Metropolis and heart of the United Kingdom, and we hope Parliament will deeply in-i vestigate this important subject before it terminates'l its labours for the present year. We have been in formed that there are persons who receive these Emi. grants with a view to profit by their hapless condi tion and iporance ; to these persons they pay sums of moaey, perhaps to their last penny, for which a contract is given to find them passage and pro visions to the United States : the first entire cargo'. embarked from the River Thaines, we he. lieve, is now ou board the chartered ship Iris, SAILTLI . Master, which on Tuesday last was seized by a most active, intelligent, and humane Officer of the Revenue, for having more passengers on board than is permitted by the Acts of the 4Sd and 5Sd of the King. By those humane laws no ship is permitted to carry more than one person for each two tons of the ship per register ; and if partly laden, no more than one person for each two tons register measure. meat, which remains unladen ; and enactments are • added far providing a proper gnint eT of wboteiome provisions fOr eich person, and a itirgeolt Wtett fifty Peri Ons are on board, and for enforcing outer salutary regulations, under heavy 'penalties. The tris is 'SW tons burthen per register and therei,.re entitled to carry - Only }7l perions, including the crew; 151 names were given in it the Cuttorn-house, bin when . the seizure wit made 251 persons were found on board. Amongst other evils attendant upon this system of I Emigration; a door is opened for escape of culprits of the most flagitions description. One instance, in the present case, will be sufficient to prove the force of this remark, as a certain Reverend Doctor, who has lately absconded from the neighbourhood of the Metropolis, has been found amongst the passengers on boazd the Irii. Two Mails from the Netherlands and one from Holland arrived this morning. They present with the following intelligence : VER3AIt.LES, MAY 29. It is observed with satisfaction, that since the last events in the Department of the Isere, a very consi derable change for the better has taken place in the capital in the public opinion respecting the firmness. of the Royal Government. AMeng the well-dis posed who desire only repose and tranquillity, there is now more confidence than before, since they see I that the Government lots sufficient resources and , power to keep down its domestic enemies witho.it the aid of the foreign troops. It is hoped that the ene mies of the Royal Government will be convieced by the failure of this enterprize of their inability to shake it, and that this attempt of their party will be the last. —lt must also be acknowledged, on the other hand, that the dissolving of the Chamber of the Deputies ILts powerfully contributed to lessen the uneasiness which lately prevailed in so many minds; fur the siAings of this Charnbcr were a constant source of dissatisfaction, as well from the exaggerated opinions of some of the members, as from the perverse manner in which the opinions of others were interpreted by evil-disposed persons. The Government still continues to be very watch ful. In every neighbourhood of Paris one is stopped by gem d'arrues, and asked for one's passports. The gardea of the 'Dinalcries is always shut an hour s.)oner than usual. Altruist all foreiAn newspapers and foreign periodical and political works are forbidden to be imported. The last work of the Abbe de Pradt, " On the Reetorativn cf the VourZoetu," continues. to be stz ictly prohibited. The exactness of the Government in fulfilling its engagements,and particularly the punctual payment of the public debt, gives great satisfaction.—Great co:nplaints are made of the rtagnation of trade. BR UsSELS, JUNE S. The Prince of Waterloo, with some of his Aid-de• Camps, is gone to Paris, atter having given the ne cess try orders for the changes of the cantonments. The English corps has already received the reiniorce. ments which it expected from England. The report, that the Danish aid Saxon contingents are going to leave the army of occupation, is un founded. The Russian corps has lately received an addi tional number of officers. The Prussian troops are all returned to their cantonments, and Gen. Ziethen's head-quarters are again at Sedan. They write from Lille, that the necessary orders are given to complete the corps of Engineers. Ex ertions are alto Taking to re-establish the materiel of the artillery, which has so greatly suffered in the late campaigns, particularly in that of 151.5. The Royal Guard will be completed, it is said, to tl:e number of 24,000 men. • The number of labourers employed on - the works of Charleroi and Namur, has been much augmented withia these few days. The fortifications of these important places are to be much [ advanced in the course of this year. Jut s.—The Trench frontier fortresses which are not occupied by the Allies successively receive their garrisons as fixed by the last Treaty of Paris; The garrison of each of the great fortresses, (Strasburgh, Metz, and Lille,) is SOOO men. In the last place, however, the National Guard still exists, chiefly clothed at its own expense, and coaststing of 14,000 men, including cavalry and artillery. The Prussian and Austrian troops of the Army of Occupation are not to b.: relieved, as it was stated they would b e. VIENNA, MAY 2S. The organization of the new republic of Cracow advances slowly ; but all that is hitherto known of it proves that the Commissioners proceed with great wisdom. The Archduke John arrived on the 15th instant at Gratz. - They write from Tolentiao, that on the 3d of thi; .month a brilliant fete was given there in honour of the anniversary of the victory gained last year by Ge neral Bianchi over Murat. The Emperor, to favour the agriculture of Hun gary, has ordered a great many furloughs for six months to be given to Hungarian-soldiers. We understand, (says the Milledgeville Arnakaa Amnia!) that General Gaines has gone to the Escain tia short river, which empties near Pensacola, with the view erecting a fort in that neighbourhood. If Government have any apprehension of a watt with Spain, a cordon of posts should be established along [ the whole coast of Florida. • .• ••• %••• • I t• t • It 11% FRENCH PAPERS, .
