Mr. GOULBURN observed, that the Honour able Gentleman in his speech seemed to put ant of contemplation the very great accession of territory :teenired by this country during late years ; he also seemed to consider only (he expenses to which its ter ritorial acqui4itions exposed it, omitting the advan tages which resulted from them even in a pecuniary point of view. In the year 1791 only white troops were engaged in the West Indies ; of late black troops 'also were enrolled, a circumstance which both affor ded relief to the others, and at the same time called ifor an increase of them. With respect to Canada, it seemed a generally admitted opinion that the fora proposed for its defence was not greater than that which was required with a-view to its safety. In the ,Eastern possessions there could not, for some time, be any diminution of the force employed. ,The people Northward of the Cape of Good Hope were of a very different description from that which was gene rally imagined, and it would- require a respectable force, both in order to secure against invasions of our 'possessions. on that quarter, and also to protect the Magistrates there in the distribution of justice. The Islands in the East Indies, from the circumstance of their being newly acquired,. would require a large force. The same reason applied to tote lonian Islands. Lord CA ST LE REAGH thought, that upon an accurate investigation of the items, there would not. be found-so much difference of opinion .as at present acemed to exist. The Honourable Gentleman who argued against the proposed Estimates, proceeded on the principle that the entire number proposed would be effective meh ; but there war a considerable deduc tion to be made.' There might be a reduction in the foreign establishments next year, though there could be none in the Irish or British establishment; but cer tainly there could be no reduction this year. He wished to impress on Members, that they were not obliged to countenance 99,000 men next year, be cause they voted fur that number this year. He con cluded with stating, that he wished to confine the question at present to the principal resolution, namely, the force to Ira entrusted to his Majesty for the pre sent year. . Mr. FORBES, amidst loud cries of CW1630,1110. ceeded in effecting . a hearing. He said be bad but one short observation to make, that in a short time we might probably find to our cost, that we had toe few soldiers in India and too many Missionaries. The gallery was then cleared, when the House di. vided on an Amendment proposed by Mr. WORTLInfp that from the proposed establishment of 99,000 men there should be deducted 10,000. For the Amendment, 130—Against it, 202.44e iatitY. 72. The original Resolution was then carried without a diiision. On oar admission into the Gallery, we found the Home engaged with the other O►ders of the Day, after which they adj lurned at Mess o'CLour. USSEL3 BRUSSELS. MARCH i.

FRENCH PAPERS. PARIS, MARCH a. The Jugs d'lmirtessaiva made his Report on the 29th ultimo to the Chamber , of Council, in the affair of Messrs. Wilson, Bruce, and Hutchinson. The Cham ber of Council has, in consequence of this Report, issued an Ordonnance, by virtue of which, Meadow of arrest have been issued against the three accused, in the following terms :—Wilson accused of conspi racy ; Bruce and Hutchinson, accused of being ac complices in a conspiracy, directed in general against the political system of all the States o f Europe, an d having for its special object, to destroy or change the French Government, and.to excite the citizens or in-' habitants to arm themselves against the authority of 'the King ; as also of having attempted to further the execbtion of tbis conspiracy, by endeavouring to rescue from prosecutions directed by the Ring, the individuals comprised in the first article of The Or chin:Mace of the 24th of July last, and chiefly by con verting, carrying on, and effecting the escape and concealment of Lavalette, condemned for the crime of high Reason • Letters from Calaii, dated February 28, state. that pursuant to the order of Government, and on the re quisition of the Duke of Wellington, all the English soldiers' Wiest, who came over with the intention of joining their husbands in their quarters, have been ordered to re-embark.

Yesterday a numerous and respectable body of the Citizens of London poured forth their sentiments of indignation at the Mansion House, and in the evening a great number of Petitions were, as usual, presented : the alternative of a Loan was strongly urged, and we trust will be adopted by Ministers. Our Readers will' find copious accounts of the proceedings on this im. portant topic, in our columns of to-day. Last night the Paris . Papers of Sunday arrived. The principal article of their contents is that which relates to our unfortunate countrymen who have been accused of aiding Lovocma in his escape : if we may judge from the strong language of the indict ment against them, which has at length appeared, they will be rigorously dealt with. _ _ _ The trial of Admiral Lruots and Genet al DOVER, the two• traitors from Guadaloupe, who intended most appropriately to celebrate the 25th of August last, the reputed Anniversary of BONAPARTE'S birth, by a general massacre of the loyal inhabitants, has commenced. The French Institute has-been purified by the ex, pulsion of all the miscreants whose writings and con duct have contributed so powerfully to the miseries of the civilised world for the last twenty-five years.— Most of those whose names appear in this index expo-- gaserish are stained with the richest and noblest .blood in France. ENGLISH PRISONERS ni SOUTH AMERICA. By a vessel which arrived at Liverpool on Tues day, from Jamaica, we'have received letters to the 15th of January, containing home farther accounts respecting affairs at Carthagena. The public already know that on the 6th of De cember Carthagena fell into the hands of the Royal army ; and that several British subjects had been ar rested and marched off into the interior, tied arm in 'arm, without shoes or hats, or being allowed even common rations, and subsisting upon the charity of the inhabitants. Among these were Messrs. JOHN M‘Patensou, JOHN COHEN" JO/124 Wrun g and Lao. HARD H NEDMS. Another British subject, Mr. 'Wact.woon Htscop, was also arrested, and by some accounts it was sup. posed that he was in Carthagena, but not in dose confinement. By the accounts now received, we learn that this Geademan was arrested on t'e day after the surrender, and throws into the prison of she Inquisition I where no one is allowed to see Our Readers also know, that the Juttom frigate was sent from Jamaica to claim the British subjects. By the accounts now before us, it appears that the AYNos returned to Jamaica on the 13th of January, without having trcceeded in the object of her voyage.-- And we also learn another fact, which will certainly call forth the speedy interference of our Government: 46 The Royalists keep up the blockade of Carthagena, to induce trading vessels to run in, that they may thus be furnished with a pretext for seizing them.— Several British vessels have thus been seized by the Royalists at Carthagena, and their crews to a man put into close confinement; and when the JUNON left the place, this mock blockade was still continued, to en trap more. Captain Tem., of the JuNox, was not allowed to have any intercourse with the shore ; and all the ac counts state, that the Spanish nation is hostile in the extreme to the British. We cannot doubt that Government is fully inform ed on these paints : nor can we believe that they Will allow Englishmen to tpt immured in the prisons of the Inquisition, without exerting that prompt inter defence which so flagrant a case demands. Yesterday, about half past twelve o'clock, her MA JESTY and the Princesses Amu:mend MARY arrived at the Queen's Palace from Windsor.
