- - be to lower the price of corn, not to raise it; and consequently to diminish the rents; but thoarats to which he had alluded were those rents which bad been raised very high, in consequence of the d owners speculating own Very high prideof gra b. • Mr. ELLIOT explained. Mr. HUSKISSON believed, most tonkienti sly, oi ._ that the measure would not raise the price of 'co Its effect would be to keep the price fr a u d much ac tuation—perhaps to keep it betweenlOs.and the 80 quarter. Even were it to be kept at 80s. whi ha i denied it would be, would not . that be much' tter i than the fluctuation which had been 'witnessed fkom the high price of ISOs. down to the low price of 55a ? Would not 80s. be a lower price than the average of the last tea years ? The object he, and those irho thought with him, had in view, certainly was to raise the price of corn above 555. a quarter; but by no means to render it permanently dear in this country. *As to the Petitions which had been presented on the subject, Goy forbid that they did not:pay atten tion to the Petitions of the People. But it was their duty to weigh the arguments which thou Petitions contained ; and, having sifted them to the bottom, then to judge for themselves and act according to the best of their discretion. It would. not appear won derful that the petitions should contain io much an swerable matter, when it was recollected that the ground of many of them was the statement said .to have been made by the Chief Magistrate of the Me tropolis ; who declared, that when wheat.was 80s. a quarter, the quartern loaf would. be Md.-.a fallacy so'obvious that he *ould not occupy the time of the House by repeAting its detection. . • Mr. BARING explained. . • • • The House then divided—For the second reading, 2413—Ag inst it, 56—Majority, 162. ,• While st targets were excluded, a motion was made that the Bill snoilld he committed on Monday next; and Mr. liAtir.c. moved, as an amendment, that it shoule! be 'committed on Monday se'nnight.

' On our re-admission into the Gallery we found the House in a Conunittreon the Mutiny Bill, and Mr W. Fitzgerald object ing to the expression " indecent haste, " which bad been used by an Honourable Member (Mr. Bennet ). Mr. WIIITBR FAD said, it the expression had any application at all, it oils to the Noble Lord (Palmerston), and not to the Chairman or the Committee of Ways and Meats. Lord PA LMERS lON odd, when he should End it necessary to take lt %sons of decency, from the specimens which he had seen of the Honourable Gentleman, (Mr. Bennet), be would not think of applying to him. Mr. BENNE'T would distinctly say, that he did not apply the ezertuton to the Chairmao, but to the Noble Lord, and ha re peated it, that the manner in which this business was attempted to be hurried through at that hour of the night, was a most decent act. He considered a Bill which had the better govern men of. the army for its object, to be a moot important mea sure. How did the Noble Lord know that be would DK. pwsue the "ante course at he had on tormer occasions when Mutiny BIM had been brought forward ? Gilder these circumstances he was determined that the Bill should not pass witbmit his attempt jog to lotroduce some alteration. Lord PALMERSTON wondered that the Hooourable Gen tleman had not taken an opportunity of expreosing his ophdosou a former evening, when the Bill was read a second time, Lord Mil:1 ON said, the Honourable Member had perhaps, from the feeling of the moment, used stronger language to ex press his sense of what was doing than he otherwise would have employed. Mr. MANNERS SUTTON knew that It bad been the anus thief 14s Noble Friend to Involute-we qiterssioq to *pawl BIS, es k mar ler*o short a period, and lbe subject was tit *Sae again so soon before the Home. Nethiug was kneaded insulting to the &silky of the House. . Lord PROEY hilted the Nobja Lira would not persist on going into the object at that We hour. Mr. WHITBREAD contended this would be the proper time to make any alterations iu the Mutiny Act. , . Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY odd what was most objectionable Iraq, that It happened merely by acddent that any body.bed had as opportunity of proposing any, alteration. This was the Pi time, and net, as was proposed, a late period of the Session. l re did not wonder that bis Honourable Friend bad kit some Mig ration at the manner in which Is was attempted to burry through' this Bill. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, there was nothing unusual iu the proceeding of his Noble Friend-4ks hur)--and if any person ttiought it was unusual, it was from , their nut observing the Orders of the Day. Lord PALMERSTON said, it had stood two days on throe den; and if any Member *abed to propose any alteration, and did not know of this order, be was grossly deficient in his duty. The next Bill must by necessity be brought on in the early part of June, which• could not be said to be a late period of the Session. Mr. BENNET wished to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer If be conceived there was nothing unusual In bringing in a Bill on one day at past three o'clock in the morning, reading it a second time at past two o'clock, and hurrying it through a Committee about one o'clock After some further observations, the Chairman reported pro gress, and the Bill was ordered to go again through a Committee of the House on Monday next. The other Orders oldie Day were. then proceeded In, after othich the Howe Adjourned at HaNiest One o'Clocb, to Mon day next. THE CORN BILL.

Is it too much to beg that the measure may not be hurried through Parliament ? for this is all that is contended for by the opposers of the Bill. To use the words of Lord GOENVILLE " Little can be gained by precipitation—by mania: a tea , with du :rya:: If this tawdry. so as to have the measure passed before the people have an opportunity of declaring their opinion upon it." We add, and we do it from the most heartfelt conviction, that Legislators never can engage in any race threatening so many ultimate evils. • While we continue to express our honest opinion on this measure, we would press upon the opposers of the Bill—all the petitioners against it—all whose rank in life give weight to their opinions in the esti. oration of the lower orders, to be sealuus in enforcing the propriety and necessity of a regular, orderly, and respectful conduct ; add strenuously to oppoosibeit influence against every thing that may have even the semblance of intemperance, bat to say violence, in the oppositiossabey give to the measure. The Bill itself, from its verj chateau', is sufficiently cacti., lated to rouse the wont feelings and passions of the 1 lower orders—of all who have endured the pinching effects of poverty—without baring them minces. sarily inflamed by an appeal to their potions. We understand that a Requisition siW Oy some ts of the inhabitants of the parish Of St. Wilk's, bac been sent to ARTHUR Mogan, Esq. High Bailiff of the City of Westminster, to convene the inbabinota. of Westminster on Tuesday next, in order to con sider the necessity of petitioning Parliament on the subject of the proposed alteration of the Cora Laws. Meetings are very general throughout the country on this question, and we have no hesitation in assert ing, that out of Parliament nineteen of every twenty are decided enemies to the proposed alteration. In deed it Is impossible that men can, by any argement, be persuaded that with ha loaves for a. given sum, the community will be as prosperous as when receiv ing sixteen or eighteen leaves for the same money. If our manufactures are 0 come to market loaded with such a balance against us in the sustenance of the artisans by whom they are fabricated, Britain must be undersold is every foreign market, and the result must be that our population must diminish, and exactly in proportion to this diminution will be the reduced demand for Corn. In other words, the Bill has a tendency to lessen the consumption of the produce of our agriculturists, and in a very few years much of our arable land must cease to be cultivated, If corn shall not be importable till the pries sball be @Os, whence pre we to obtain a supply whip) we 4 1 000 1 ~.P.

We have the satisfaction to announce the arrival of Lord and Lady Carrusaaaou in this country. They landed at Dover yesterday, from on board the Lad' Frances Packet, under a salute from the batteries ; and after partaking of some refreshments, immedi. diately set off for London. Mr. LISLE, the Messenger, also landed, at the same time, from on board • the 'Lard Duncan Packet, with dispatches from the Duke of WELLItIOTOI4. Lord Carrtzanmut and suite slept at Sitting bourne Last night. Since yesterday We have received a supply of. Dutch and Gernism . Papers. Their contents will be knind in the neat column. The Vienna and Berlin articles will be read with interest, for they now speak more eaplkitly than ever on the subject of the la. hours of Congress. AU the great points are in short Savaged. t. lo.day we received Paris Papers of the Ist instant, 'being those of Wednesday last. The following is a sketch of their contents. An article from Verona states, that all the roads in that •icinity are infested ty bands of armed robbers. Austria, it is added with a sneer, seems more intent upon keeping her %tali= subjects in subjection by means of her sole diary, than by conciliating the affections of the people. Several of the Swiss Cantons were busily employed in arming against each other, but their irritation was allayed ►y a solemn decision of the Dies. The Congress is said at length to have taken up the affairs of Switzerland in earnest. The French Government holds out great encou ragement to such 'ecclesiastics as are willing to pro ceed to the French Colonies, to propagate the Gnspel of Peace. This measure is understood to have ema nated directly from the Royal breast, and does much honour to the head and heart of its illustrious promo. ter. AU mankind will thus learn to bless the era of his Restoration—Sere in Want mien, From the benevolent efforts of the French King to civilize and instruct his people, we are compelled to make a painful transition. A dreadful and indiscri-, minate massacre has taken place in the reigning fa. wily of TunT Sorely the Christian Princes of Eu rope owe it as a debt to humanity, to exterminate, or at least to subjugate. the Barbarians, who pollute the southern shores of the Mediterranean. It is high time they should be bound over to keep the peace towards their neighbours—we present our Readers with the following distressing narrative : PARIS,. MARCH 1. Letters from Tunis, of the 20th January, announce,. that there has been a complete revolution in the Go vernment of that Regency ; and, as in all .despotic Governments, the revolution has been bloody and unexpected. The old Bey, Sidi Ottoman, has been assassinated by his cousin Sidi Mahomet Flassen, who has long enjoyed his confidence and favour. The two sons of the unfortunate SIDI OTTOMAN ' were in the apartments of their women, at the mo. meat their father fell under the knives of the asses , sins. They left their women to the mercy of the rebels, and endeavoured to save themselves in the fort of Goletta, but they were pursued and brought back to the presence of SIDI MARONE?, who in stant ly ordered their heads to be cut off. He was immedi. ately acknowledged absolute head of the Regency. The family of the old Bey is thus extinct. Other executions distinguished the commencement of this usurpation. Jossue KOGGIA, appointed Mi. ulster to Mestourr, began the exercise of his functions by impaling MARIANO STINICA, who enjoyed great authority under the late Govemroent, but who had merited the general hatred by his cruelties and pride. The reneged° physician Misnomer, was also strangled by the orders of the new Minister. The latter, however, soon experienced the vicissi. tedes of fortune.' Since the massacre of the Otto. man favaily t he bad conceived the project of putting' to death the neer Chietof the Regency, to bring in a considerablesparty who were devoted to him, and who were to raise him to the throne. ' He was distributing money among the troops, when he was seized by the beard by a Matneluke Chief, and conducted before the new Bey, who reproached him with his treason,.and ordered him to be executed in his presence. The people, infuriated, dragged his body through all the 'crests of the City and the- Sub urb. of Bazuna. The soldiers then took the oatbs . io Sidi Mahmoud, and talm*was restored. • • Such are the catastrophes which frequently happen in these happy countries which enjoy the benefits of despotism, and in whiCh we find in such a perfect manner the amity of power and of religion.

Reports were spread that Au trian corps was on the march to enter Saxony, as ' the measures we saw taken under our own eyes we:. not measures of permanent defence, but of temporar precaution. Sudden orders were given to provisio and strengthen Stacie ; our troops, joined with other?, were ordered to the Duchy of Bremen and Stade . the military school was prepared to depart. All th. s is now at once countermanded. Two dispatches, re ceived by express from Vienna, have restored trar • quality, and the Government has published an off • cial notice that all the differences have been settled the Congress upon terms highly advantageous t- Hanover.
