Those were the objects of the Bile With regard to the principle of vested rights, he did not see how it could apply in any manner to the moo t questioa. The office had been declared,long 4 0 , fit subject for regulation. Besides, conside table doubts existed as to the legality of many of the feti , and certainly whatever might be said about vested rights generally, it could not be pretended to urge a vested right in favour of emoluments which m i g ht be declared, in themselves, illegal. The Right H o nourable Member then concluded by moving for l e ave to bring in a Bill for securing the Profits of die (Ace of Clerk of the Pleas in Ireland, while the right ef appointment to the said office should remain in Sir.J. NEWPORT expressed his satisfaction at this nature of the Bill, as he was convinced that the upon the question of right, would be much • more speedily obtained, by impounding the fees ' me anwhile. The abuses of the office were great. — The emoluments had been stated to amount to nearly i mpel) per annum, of which three-fourths were il legal. Yet, he remembered when he mentioned those abuses last Session, a Right Honourable Gentleman, whom be then sale opposite to him, denied their possibility, and accused him of exaggeration. If no other benefit than the present were to result from his motion for hit:miry, he should always reflect with sa tisfaction upon hiving made the motion. Mr. PEEL begged it to he understood, that while be admitted the illegality of many of the fees, he was by no means prepared to state the precise extent to which they were illegal. Sir J. NEWPORT explained. Mr. B. BATHURST denied that he had accused the Right Honourable Barnet of exaggeration, in what related to Ireland. if he remembered rightly, be admitted the probability that he was correct in that point, from the greater opportunities which he bad of acquiring information. What he complained of was, the sweeping nature of his censure, as appli .cable to all the offices both in England and Scotland. Mr. L. FORSTER said, he had no hesitation in affirming that he was within the limits when he fixed the amount of fees at £e30,000 per annum, the great majority of which would be found to be illegal. (linir,, hear. ) Mr. HORNER said he perfectly agreed in what had fallen from the Right Hon. Secretary for Ire land, except in one instance, to which he should al. lade. He had taken a correct view of the principle upon which Parliament ought to act in the present instance, which, he admitted, was a particular one. With regard to vested intereas, he (Mi. Horner) bad in general ht-ea disposed to carry his opinions Upon the inviolable and sacred nature of those inte rests much farther than most of his friends by whom be was surrounded. But it would be utterly ridicu lous to talk of any vested interest in this case, or to suppose that the person now holding the vffice had any right to the emoluments, which was beyond the cantroul of Parliament. 'With respect to the Bill, he saw no reason why the operation of impounding the fees should net commence from the day of the Earl .e Blckinghamshire's demise. Neither could he see as every one was agreed upon the necessity of tegalating the office, that regulation should not take place inane:littely. There was no occasion to wait for further i;:quiry. They already had enough be fore them to proceed upon. He trusted, therel4:rc, that some measure of regulation would be arloptLd in the course of the present Session, and that one im portant pin r,t that regulation would be to prevent the office horn beint; a strrecure, by not allowing any Berson to Lott. it who should reside in England. Mr. FALEI. said, it was certainly his •intention to give ;lie Dill a et? o' Ilect:ve etr.ct, and to impenod the fees horn the d,;y of the Earl of Buckiny,hom shire's death. With regard to regulating the office, ,he thoright it wonld oe better to wait until the Report of the Commissioners of Inquiry was before the House. Mr. LIORNER admitted the validity of the ob servation made by the Right Honourable dcritleman, but trusted the Commissioners would be enabled to make a special, report upon this particular office. Mr. FORSTER said, he had no doubt they would be able to lay a very comprehensive and detailed re port before t,.e House in the course of the present te;sion. The abuts which had been detected were of a nature difficult to get ,tt. A mere table, sliming the amount r,f fees tect ivcd, would convey no sort of iolomation. The in what were called official practices, and those practices consisted in the Mile noisy by which fees could be enormously augmented. fie would mention as one instance where the fee of the Error Court, charged for % issuing a sins of error, had been enlarged by a varietyof ; ways to no less a .:,um than seeeta to the bout the performance of any additional ser (ear.) The Honourable Member then entered lable length into a detail of the abuses exist : Courts of Ireland, and expressed his hope, !xtent and variety of these abuses would be logy for the delay which the Commissioners iged to tneur. 1.11,A,1 SNIITH and Mr. Powsozeax expressed satisfaction with the exertions of the Com toissioners. Mr. Ponsonby particularly stated, that the Judges of Ireland were totally ignorant of such abuses existing, as he knew well, from his having bees a short peried a Judge in that couetry. He was glad the comenission had's° far proceeded, and with the most heartfelt thanks to them for their industry sod diligence, he hoped the Report would be pro duced before the end of the Session. Mr. PRESTON said a few words on the sante abject, when leave was given to bring in the Bill.

The Correspondent of Germany contains to-day the following article horn Russia: 46 The important and fine province of Finland was of great consequence, in a financial and economical point of view, to Sweden, which is so poor in ',eternal resources ; for the colossal Russian Empire it has more interest in a political light. In former times Finland furnished a considera ble part of Sweden, and particularly the capital, with some of the first necessities, wood, better, salt, and bread corn. If the Finlanders were at first dis satisfied at the change of their Government, because they feared the Rassian despotism, they now love the Emperor Alexander arid their Constitution to such a degree, that very few indeed desire to return to their former condition. 4 4 The ancient Finland Nobility, which ate nume rous, and now live chiefly in St. Ntersburgh, at Court, are treated by the Emperor with particular regard; he loads them, and the persons in public offices in Finland, who have* mostly retained the . places they held under the Swedish Government, with titles and orders, and relieves the people from taxes when they are too oppressive. " A great part of the annual revenues of the coun try, which, acco: ding to most exact accounts, are esti mated at 4,000,000 Swedish Bank dollars, are ex pended in the country itself ; new roads and canals are made ; the internal communication acquires daily more life ; the fortresses are greatly strengthened; Sweabnrg, the Gibraltar of the North, had cost Sweden twenty millions of Swedish B.ink dollars, and a period of 20 years, to complete it : all the works arc hewn out of the solid rock, and are defended by 40() nieces of cannon. Ot late years this fortress has fallen a little into decay ; but workmen are now cm- . Iployed in repairing mid enlerging it. The mild libe ral Government has the happiest influeece no the po pulation, and Finland has now nearly a million of in habitants. May the treatment of Finland be a proof to the Poles, that they also will speeaily advance in civilisation and national wealth, under /le of Russia. ' " When the Principality of Isenberg was taken possession of in July last for the Emperor of Austria,. ail the financial resources were lett to the ceuat-y, and up to this hour no revenues, not even the 113.,- voidable expenses of the Administration, have been levied by the august Sovereign. Notwithanding this,l the battalion of Isenberg, which has been taken into i the Austrian service, has lately reeeieed from the Imperial Treasury its proportion of the considerable • douceur given to the whole Imperial Airily. ° FROM THE LOWER ELBE, APRIL re.

TRIAL OF GCNERAL CAMBRONE. The Prisoner, on his examination, stated, that 1 being left for dead on the field at Waterloo, he was taken prisoner by the English, carried to England, and from thence voluntarily returned to France, when he heard he was comprehended in the King's Ordon. nance of the 24th July. He farther stated, that the Treaty of Fontainblean having permitted Bonaparte to take 4';o men with him to Elba, he accepted from him the command of the light infantry cf OK! e,n:trd. He clusid...red him self as no kr.ger a Fre%chrnan, and as !)ciond by no I o.th or act i)f rulhesion to Lot ! is XVIII. After I landing at Cannes, he commanded the advanced •. gu3rd LI! Bonapatte%ltrny, until he was within three leagues of L;-et-A r..:411 this thrr: until his arrival in Paris he had no commend. At Waterloo he had 1 a command iii the impezial guards. He denied that he knew of Bonaparte's inten rl:2: Vat 'Elba C Mit MID or Ahree days before their departure, and he was two days an boat,ibcio re Bonaparte told him they were going to France. He complained, as well as did General Mutter, of the false proclamations which Bonaparte issued in their names. The reading of the prisoner's examinatien terminated with certificates of is humane conduct in La Vendee. On being brought into Court. the PIIESIDrNT asked him why he quitted the command of the advanced guard near Lyons? The prisoner here handed in a paper from Bonaparte in answer : 1. Cansbione, 1 entrust to you the Advanced o , !at 1 of wry most brilliant Campaign. You must no: fire a milli! :r...1-ke , .. Every where you will find friends only." The Prisoner added, that Bonaparte did rot rAe the command from him, but merely sent him for. ward dune, for the troops which they brought with tl!em were too fatigued, and could not march so quick as those whom they found ready drawn up to receive them. The Paestoitsr.—Why did you follow Bonaparte to Elba? Prisouer.—The Provisional Government forced us, as part of his Guards. The KING'S PROCURATOR.—No person forced you. The Prisoner (with vehemence). And are we not to be forced by our duties ? If we, military men, had not certain clear lines of duty to perform, we should be bandied about from one folly to another. The PRESIDENT.4n whose name did you make the requisitions for the provisions on your march from Cannes to Paris ? 1 Prisoner—ln the name of Napoleon, Sovereign of Elba. 1 did not say any thing about polifics to the Mayors : I only demanded provisions. PRESIDENT—At what period was you nominated a Peer by Bonaparte.? Prisoner—l never paid any attention to it : I knew nothing of it : and I never sat as a Peer. PRESIDENT—You said you refused the rank of Lieutenant-General from Bonaparte. What was your motive ? Prisoner.—"" I certainly thought I was capable of commanding a division, but in an unfortunate affair I reflected that 1 might be embarrassed. AU the world knows, that at the battle of Waterloo, the person who commanded us (Bonaparte) lost his wits, and then I would have fauna myself acting with old Generals of Brigade, who would have considered themselves humbled at being commanded by one less experienced than themse! ves. ' The Rspporteur, and the Counsel for Cambrone (M. Burma, jun.) then addressed the Court, and after a few hours deliberation, the Prisoner was una nimously found Not Guilty of having betrayed the King previous to March 2S, 1815. By a majority of six to one he was found Not Guilty of attacking France and the Government with arras in his hands. And by a majority of seven to five Not Guilty of violently seising upon power.—He was therefore or , dered to be set at liberty in 24 hours. Pideig AftELLiclAta. MAILS THIS 13A7e.
