BRUSSELS PAPERS. RECEIVED THIS MORSI24O. FROM THE ELECTORATE OF HESSE, MARCH :O. kPromentoria delivered by the Commune, on the river Diernal, and signed by 100 of the Chief Magis trates of the Communes, deserves to be made known on account of sound sense and unadorned frankness. It runs thus t • " As our Gracious Sovereign has spilt called the States together to deliberate on the distresses of the country, and, if possible, to relieve them, we take the liberty urgently to lay before. our Deputies chosen for the present Assembly, and particularly M. Schutz, as Director of the Curia-of the Peasantry‘ the following desire :—The taxes' which we slave to pay are intolerably heavy. The French times were bad; but the present, if all the money paid . is reckoned together, are still worse, and were it not our own dear Elector, who is a Hessian as well as ourselves, the country would not have been silent so long i for the money is demanded without intermissions and yet there is no trade, no business, and when the money is once out of out hands, it never comes back any more. We know that we are bound to give what is necessary for the support of the State, and we will do it with pleasure as long as it is possible; but the misfortune is, that we do sot know how much the country properly requires. However, as our most gracious Prince has called his States to gether to consult with them on the economy (the 1 1 German word means the hourieeping) of the country, it is to be hoped that every body will learn what is necessary, and what is too much. We hoped tha t this would be done last year, but as fir was not, and our burdens have since become still greater, we beg our Deputies-Ist, To ascertain what part of the large out-standing sums of money, which they say belongs to the country of Hesse, and what part of the public property which we already have, be longs to the country, and what to the Prince...—. When this is ascertained, we beg them to examine 2dly, Whither, that is, into what coffers the large sums of money flow which we have to pay aneually, and fur what purposes it is employed; and then, Sdly, to seek for ways and means by which the existing taxes may be dimiaishod, and placed on a MOM moderate tooting : and that this mild and rea sonable rate of t 141.26011 may wet be altere4 erb.kra• rily by our deputies: 4thly, to provide that an estab- lished Constitution may be given to the country ; sQ that, without the consent of the States, nothing may be demadded or imposed; because it is just and rea. tunable that he who is to give be asked hoW much he can give. These are, as far as we can see, our wishes, our necessary desire. We should not have spoken•if it had been to be borne . ; but it is too bad, and it grieves us, that our good Prince loses the love of his people in the country. because he does not forbid evil counsellors to approach Mm. Therefore we beg our Deputies to speak the truth openly, and not to dis semble for we, Hessians, mean it honestly, both :With our Prince and our country, and wish that the ancient order in-the country, and the ancient love to the Prince, may return. Then we 'hall all be helped." atfgreffiehre Zeituag, March 19. BRUMILS, MARCH te. Among the persons who bad the honour of being admitted to an audience of his Majesty on Saturday, the Deputies of the Consultative Chamber of Manu factures, Arts, and Trades of the City of Tourney, were observed to have been a whole hour with their Sovereign. Their representations were listened to, and received with a degree of kindness which is cal culated to excite the hopes of our National Manufac turers. The Deputies retired filled with gratitude. Tournay is one of the most interesting Cities in Belgium ; the productions of the neighbouring coun try, the industry of the inhabitants in various manu factures, the braveiT of its sons in the field of bud*, and above all the spirit of loyalty, frankness, and fidelity to the country and the Prince under the most difficult circumstances, merit the particular attention of our august Sovereign. Tourney is hurt in its in. dewy, fettered by the Douanier, and sees with grief foreign Merchants dispute with it the fruits of its honourable labours. The Chamber of Manufactures, Arts and Trade, of that City, has just addressed to ,the King a very short Memoir, but full of sound argument, upon this subject. One of our Journals states, that the celebrated Painter, David, now here, has been invited to Prussia by the Kiss, but that he prefers remaining at Brussels. FRANKFORT, MARCH It They write from Coire, on the 10th, that the Go vernment has just been informed that a contagious distemper, of an alarming appearance, has shown it self in the valley of Livinen, in the county of Bormio , and that a great number of persons have already been the victims of it. A cordon has been established on the Italian side, to insulate the volley on our side; also very rigourous measures have been adopted. All the roads by which this valley communicates with Upper Engadine and Putschlaw are guarded with the greatest care. A Member of the Council of Health is sent to Bormio, tOixamine into the na. MO of the disease. PARLIAAEN7 ART pßocEk..)mas. HOUSE OF LORDiI o MARCH et. 'Coesfisel were heard In einitinuatiis re arive to the Appeal of " Lady and Lord Montgomerie v. Wauchope." ta . prorecd again on Monday. The Royal Assent was given by Commission to the Bill for Nattoralming his ~Serene Highness Prince Leopold of Coining; Saalfeld, and to the Clifton Church Bill. The Leeds Commissioners were , __ the LORD COMIC ILLOR. gait Smareasssa Ti and Viscount MELTS LLE. . A Petition was presented from one of the Scots Montle', by Viscount MELVILLE, praying for a revision of the Distillery Lim, *bleb eras ordered to he on the table. Me Report at Sir G. H. Barlow's Divorce Bill being taken •Intomansideration, The Earl of LAUDERDALE moved a clause for gnus:lug to Lady Barlow an annuity of ,f iOO as a p.cvision. Viscount 'MARINO fON said, he did not tura:. to oppose the clause, notwithstanding- the Lady had taken property to the amount of betwegn 4 and .C4OOO from her husband; and added, that had not sus* a provision been proposed by the Noble Earl, Sir George Barlow intended to have settled en annuity of the net ansoant Mn her, notwithatanding his small rattan: and Jorge family. On the motion of the Earl of LAUDERDALE, the second reading of Dlusrs Divorce /3ill was ordered to be postponed until the second Tuesday after the Easter Recess. Adjourned till Monday. . • HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER was summoned to the House of Peers. On his return, he infdrined the House that the Royal Assent had been even by Coinintelion to the Bill fdr Naturalizing Prince Leopd. Sir S. ROMILLY presented a Petition from the Brewers of Montrose, praying that certain Duties , imposed by an Aot now about a expire, may not be renewed.—Ordsred to lie on the table. Mr. R. H. DAVIS moved the second reading of the Bristol Small Debt Bill, observing there was a Court for the recovery of debts under 40s. and another for debts above, in Bristol, but the latter is attended with so Mods expense, t hat it is desirable to eitiblish a new Court for Debts, up to AI 5, as mentipned in the Palllan, and be was not aware al any objection in this House. j;MPROTHEROE rose to bear his testimony to the great mint of a new Court of the description specified, adding, that sealer one had been in use in Bath for several years, which he saisratood was productive of the best effect, and he doubted not but one in Bristol would be of much greater benefit, as the trade was by far ntore extensive; be had heard of objections in another quarter, but th e object of the numerous traders applying for re lief, be knew was to-have the Bill corrected or modified in any way that could make it perfect and unobjectionable. Mr. GORE LANG . rON spoke to the beneficial consequences of die Court at Bath; from his local knowledge, he did nocknow there was room for any ebjection against it; a Barrister presided as Chairman, of the greatest respectability, and he believed, if a similar Mu were in Bristol, It would prove of the greatest utility. Ordered to be committed acccrdtngly. Mr. LOCKHART presented a Petition from the Master Tailors in the vicinity of London, against the insolvent Dances' Act —Ordered la be referred to the Committee on the Act. • Mr. l'ltk:M AY NE preiented a similat Petition from the Tra ders of the Town and Parish St. Austell, in Cornwall.

The retitioll was ordered to be referred to the Committee on the Bill. The Fine Sugar Bouoty BSI was lead a second time, and or dered to be committed on Monday. • CHAtittitit AGAINST LOUD ELLENBOROUGH. Lord COCHRANE held in his hand an addi. tional charge against Lord Ellenborough, which he begged to present, that it might be read to the House. .The SPEAKER called on the Noble Lord to state, what was the nature of the charge which be wished to prefer. Lord COCHRANE said it imputed injustice and oppression to Lord Ellenborough. The SPEAKER directed the Noble Lord to give in the paper. The charge was then read by the Clerk. It com flained of injustice and oppression on the part of Lord Ellenborough, in refusing him (Lord Coch rane) a new trial on his first application for one on the Bth of July ; in discountenancing his second ap plication on the 40th of that month ; and in counte. nesting, sanctioning, and authorizing the misrepte sentationsof Mr. Justice Le Blanc on passing sentence. Lord COCHRANE moved that the charge should be printed. Mr. LOCKHART could not but oppose the ?no tion for printing the charge of the Noble Lord, as at present worded. While seeking to got justice done to himself, he ought to be careful not to deal unjustly by others. His former charges went to inculpate a single Judge sitting at Nisi Prius—that now pro duced concerned the whole Court, and it *would be acting a mile manly part to attack the whole Court at once, than to bring forward a paper framed like that which had just been read. A most learned, able, and honest Judge was mentioned in it, so as to convey an idea that he had been guilty of wilful mis representation. AU the poison contained in such a charge was left to set against that individual (Mr. Justice Li Blanc), yet he was denied au opportunity of answering it, as it was only mentioned in the paper, and not preferred as a charge. Of this he thought be had a right to complain, as be held it to be especially the duty of that House to extend that *tics which was due to all, to those who were en gaged in the distribution of it Ito others. On ream non he thought the Noble Lord would feel this him 'self, and be content to withdraw the charge. • Lord -COCHRANE begged most distinctly to say, be had no accusation to prefer against Mr. Jos ' tine Le Blanc ; he could know nothing. of the case but from the notes of Lord Ellenborough, which weft put into his band, and he complained, not of the conduct of Mr. Justice Le Blanc, but of the fal. affication of the evidence given on the trial, which had been made by the Lord Chief Justice of England. • Mr. S. BOURNE contended the words •• counte. dancing, s anctioning, and authorizing the misrepre- Nentations of Mr. Justice Le Blanc," went to prefer a strong charge against the conduct of that individual. • Laid COCHRANE was anxious to set himself right in this particular. He threw no blame on Mr. Justice Le Blanc on account of the misrepresenta. tioa in question. Sir J. SIMEON thought the Noble Lord had cur J. 01D2ZAPa• usvulint wa Lluum imam. • .-" - et' PRTCZ ST:VENT-Few eV. better withJtaw his charge for the present, to correct that part of it where Mr. Justice Le Lt!.ttic wAs men. tioned. Mr. V. FITZGIVIALD, Sir G. CLAM. end Mr. LVTTLETOJ supported this suggestion. Lord COCHRANE expressed himself willing to attend to it, in compliance with the feeling of the House, and the charge was accordingly withdrawn. On the motion of Mr. CALCRA FT, accounts of the quantity oh Corn Warehoused in England, were ordered to be laid before the House. BUTTER TRAM The House having resolved itself into a Commit. • tee on the Butter Trade, Mr. R OBINSON stated the object of the measure he was about to propose to be, not the prohibition of foreign butter, but the protection of the Irish trade. With this view he should move, That the duty ern foreign butter, which was now 51. per cwt. should be raised to 20s. if fmported in English, and 2.51. If fofeign ships. He was aware many obje‘tioes might be urged to his proposition. Those engaged in the It ish butter . trade would probably think the duty ought to be raised to 30s. while these interested. in the Dutch' butter trade might think a higher ditty than I Os. ought not to be imposed. In taking 20*. he had endeavoured to hit on the mean between the amount of the dot) , with which the parties lie had mentioned were respectively of opinion the butter im ported ought to be charged. He concluded by moving the Resolution he had announced. for raising the duty on butter from .ss. to 20s. it imported in English ships, and to 255. if imported in foreign ships. Sir J. NEWPORT stated England and Ireland in this, as its most cases, to be equally interested in the measure to be adopted, and he who should endea. your to separate the interest of the one from the other, would work inevitably the ruin of both. To A certain extent 'he concurred with the Right • H Gentleman in looking at this as a measure of prutee. tiou, and not of prohibition, bat feared the measure would not go far enough he hoped, however, if the duty mentioned should give me:ely an increase- of , revenue to England, and not suffice for the pra tec. lion of Ireland, that, in another year, the Right Ho. nourable Gentleman would be willing to raise the amount of the duty, so as to give that protection which it was now in his contemplation to afford. Sir F. FLOOD had expected the Right Linnour able Gentlernan would haste gone further than he had done on the present occasion, and he Loll l o p e d he would amend and extend his (;reposition. He did not wish for a prohibitory duty, hut a poitecteig one he united would not be denied. In the n .toe of justice, he implored the Right Honourable Gel. tletnan to substitute 301. for 255. in the motion which he had submitted to the House. After some further observations, the Honourable Baronet moved an Amendment to the motion before the tee, which went to substitute 255. for 20s. and sos. tot 251. in the Resolution. Mr. V. FITZGERALD opposed the Amend. ment. He thought it was not in the spirit of that liberality which on this subject had been professed on all sides of the House, to press such an extension of the vote proposed this day. His Right Honourable Friend (Sir J. Newport) had hoped that if the mea. 'sure now to be adopted, should not prove equal to the accomplishment of its object, an extension of it would be proposed in a future year. He might rest assured no time would be lost in taking this e,,u rs e, , when it was found the protection now to be afforded was inadequate. At present. he was sure, on taking a general view of our domestic interests, the House would feel it was not expedient to lc° further than to adopt the Resolution of his Right Honourable Friend ; under the present duties, he shewed, the Irish buuer trade had greatly improved. In the year after the Union, her exports of butler amounted to 225,000 cwt. In 1814, they were more than double what they had been at the period first re. ferred to—they amounted to 432,000 cwt. From that it would be seen a most gratifying improvement had taken place. Last year, though the Dutch butter had come immediately in competition with the Irish butter trade, the exports from Ireland were 432,000 cwt. and their value 42,269,000. Sir N. COLTHURST hoped the Honourable Ba ronet (Sir F. Flood) would consent to withdra t. his Amendment. Sir F. FLOOD declined giving the Committee the trouble of dividing on the motion be had made. In submitting it to the House he had done his duty to his country. Mr. PONSONBY, though anxious to promote any measure that could benefit Ireland, did -not think Ireland had a right to expect the interests of the Empire generally were to be sacrificed to her advan tage. He thought the proposition of the 'Right Ho nourable Gentleman opposite went as far as a mea .sore of experiment ought to do. Sir F. FLOOD explained. Sir J. NEW PORT.—The present measure, adopt. ed with the good will of the House, would be limey then a higher protecting duty, adopted against the opinions of many of its Members. ' The Resolution was then put and carried. Mr. GORDON thought it desirable that the do. ties on cheese should be placed on the same footing 'as those of butter. The duties on batter and cheese had been Ss. and 4s. per cwt. The Right Honour. able Gentleman bad quadrupled the duty on butter; he proposed to do the same by that on cheese.' •He moved that a duty of 16s. per cwt. should be paid on cheese imported in British ships, and 20s. it im. ported in foreign ships. A desultory conversation ensued, in which Mr. ROBINSON, Mr. MUTHUNN, Mr. HALL, Mr. EOM. TON, Mr. Tnoupeon, the CUANCIILLML of the Excise- Qom, Mr. Poxsomay, and Mr. GoaDoN, p.srt.cipated. It was contended that 12s. would give the same pen, action to cheese that-20s. gave to butter, and the analogy supposed by the mover between cheese end butter did not exist. Mr. Gosport had ao criterion to go by but the relation the drs ea eMese and * ,•
