to hint that if the other business which stood for to morrow skvald caupy the House to a late hour, the second reading would nut be pressed. Now, after the conduct of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman op posite, he for one hoped that no postponement would take place to-morrow on any account whatever, and that the House would, by going through the second reading, then testify its sense of this interruption, so uncourteous and unprovoked. Sir JOHN NEWPORT said that for one he hoped if the second reading was persevered in tomorrow, the threat of using the forms of the House to protect the minority, and the people of England against a majority (a means of protection which had once al ready been successfully resorted to) would be put in force. The Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Can ning) triumphed very much in his calculation of the course of the debate this night, but had omitted the Members for Hertford and Northumberland, who both spoke against the Bill.—(Mr. Canning here rose to correct the Honourable Baronet).—He would not allow the Right Hon. Gentleman to interrupt him; arty thing which he had to say he might say when he (Sir John Newport) was done—(Laughter.) He would not put up with such interruptions from the Right Hon. Gentleman, or any other person, however great his arrogance, when supported by a majority. It was not quite correct that the first reading had been postponed from Friday, to oblige the Member for . Durham (Mr. Lambton); besides, even if it were so, that was a mere personal accommodation to a single Member, granted on his 'particular request, and was what the House had nothing to do with. Mr. CANNING said he only rose during the Ho. nourable Baronet's speech, to caution him against the mis-statement which he was making, and was sorry it was not taken in good part. The Hon. Baronet said that he (Mr. Canning) had omitted the Mem bers. for Northumberland and Hertfordshire among those who spoke against the Bill. Without any Apo logy he must inform the Hon. Baronet he did not omit these Hon. Members.—(hear, hear.) The ATTORNEY GENERAL then gave notice, that he certainly should press the second reading to morrow—unless the previous business should extend to a great length. Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY observed, that as he, and he' believed the House, interpreted the expres sions of his Honourable and Learned Friend, it was to be understood, that if the second reading could not be brought forw.►rd at a proper period to-morrow night, the question would not be pressed—(heas !) l'he second reading was accordingly fixed for to morrow, subject to this understanding. Mr. ARBUTHNOT moved for a new Writ for the Borough of Yarmouth, the present Member, Alex. Maconochie, Esq. hav ing accepted the office of the Chiltern hundreds.—Ordered. The Mutiny Bill, after a few observations from Mr..W Wr*rt, Wu read a third time, and passed. • On the third reading of the Mutiny Amendment Bill, Lord FOLKESTONE wished to know whether foreign Offi cers, whose names appeared in the Army List, were still retained in the service ? Lord PALMERSTON said, it was true that the names of General Officers were-still in the annual Army List ; but that they were suffered to remain there, merely out of compliment 40 them; but that circumstance did not give the Conuhander-in- Chief any power of employing them, as they were out of the army alts ether. Mr M. RIDLEY hoped some measures might be adopted for the relief of half-pay Subaltern Officers, who, with small in comes, were obliged to give a large portion of those incomes, to insure their lives, for the sake of their flunkies. Mr. CALCRAFT asked, how it happened that Officers on half-pay, were allowed to bold commissions in the Hanoverian service, on full pay ? Lord PALMERSTON replied, that it being necessary m keep up an army in Hanover, no other Officers could be found, except those who already had half-pay in the British service; and as that half-ply was more than the Hanoverian fun pay, they would not relinquish the one for the other ;they would notaccept of the full pay in Hanover, tailless they were allowed to retain the halksay.—The Bill then passed. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, after which the House adjourned. MINORITY AGAINST THE INDEMNITY BILL Airreromby,Tion.J.

A third Report has been presented to Out Itonse of Common& by the Commissioners appointed to enquire into the Duties, Salaries, and Emoluments of the se veral Officers &c. of the Courts of Scotland. It is confined to t he Sheriff and Commissary Courts, in the constitution of which it recommends a variety of improvements, the most important of which is, That in place of four Judges in the Commissary Court, at a salary of 6001. each, as at present, there shall be ally one Judge with a salary of from 12001. to 15001. who than be bound to devote his exclusive attention to the duties of the office. A Philosophical Correspondent, who had an op portaiihy, whilst in Holland, to analyze the Port Wine lately recovered from a Vessel wrecked off the Coast Thirty years back, found it highly oxy genated, supposed to arise from its long immer sioa in the Sea: its colour is that of a brilliant Ruby, and the Taste superior to any Burgundy.— There are but Fifteen Pipes of it saved, and Five of them have been presented to the Dutch East India Company ; the remainder has been bought by an English Trader, perhaps on speculation, to supply the Purchasers of the two Blanks entitled to Eight Pipes of Port in the present Lottery, (to be chosen by them selves), which draws again on Sr. PATRICK'S DAY, Tuesday, 17th inst. when Au. the Three Prizes of 5',30,000, 6:c. may be decided.

The event which took place on the first day of the' last Session of Parliament, to which we adverted yesterday, was last night alluded to by Mr. LAMB* 1 1 Ton, in the House of Commons, on the first reading of the Indemnity Bill ; and the subject has again' been taken up this morning in the Times. Mr. LAMBTON (Member for Durham) stated, that he was acquainted with the person who had furnished the statement to the Times; that the individual was very respectable, and that he was willing to prove the truth of the statement at the Bar of the House.— Oliver the spy, he said, was in a great measure the author of the outrage offered to the PRINCE, by his inflammatory harangue, and yet the House was called upon to throw their shield round him. The Times re marks, that though Ministers were called upon by Sir MATTHEW az RIDLEY, and the Ilouse had waited for the reply, yet Ministers " had not a word to say : nor did they attempt to deny, either that Oliver was at the Horse Guards at the time charged, or that he attempted to stir up the commotion there which end ed in the infamous attack on the Palms Ritostri's carriage."—But What is intended to be inferred from this ? Oliver might or might not be there (though we think it very probable he was) without Ministers being able to answer the question. On the face of the facts that have been stated they could know no thing of his being there on the day named, the " very respectable gentleman" who has now brought forward the statement having kept the whole from their know ledge till yesterday. Is it meant to be insinuated that Ministers sent Oliver to the Horse-Guards to en deavour to stir up the populace to insult his Royal. HIGHNESS ? If so, why has this not been stated by one or more Members who know the respectable in , dividaal who saw Oliver there, and heard his ha rangue ? The question vactuld then come in a tangible shape, and Ministers could not by any means evade it, with all the power of their• decided and great majority. But we must notice another fact, which changes entirely the inference insinuated from the retrospec tive operation of the Bill, happening to reach to the precise day before the opening of the last Se,ssien.— The day originally proposed was the Ist of January ; but on an inconsistency pointed out by Lord LAU: I VERDALE in making the Bill, which was stated to be a corollary on the Suspension Act, which was not, passed till the sth of March ; after some conversa tion on both sides of the House, the day was fixed for the 26th of January, " because (as observed by Lord LIVERPOOL) some retrospective Indemnity should be given in all cases where persons might have been aleprehended for practices against the State, upon the expectation that Parliament would pass an Act to suspend the Habeas Corpus Act ; and it ought to be recollected that on the first day of the Session, a very daring outrage had been committed against the person of the ReozNr."— The day, then, was so fixed as to protect those who might in their, zeal to bring traitors to justice for the offence of that day, have overstepped the limits of law ; and not for the purpose of screening the per- 1 petrators. We shall at present offer but one remark more. It is very possible that Ministers might have had their spies among the crowd that day, and that 0/I4er might have been one of them; and it is also possible that spies might go beyond what was required of them, in their zeal to prove that they were entitled to ther wages : but it is not possible that Ministers, in em ploying them, meant that they should themselves perpetrate, or excite others to commit treason. In the case of Watt, a Government spy, instead of protect ing, they had him tried and executed, for doing that which he was only employed to detect and prevent in others. 'We are greatly mistaken if Ministers, though net prepared yesterday to speak to a fact of which no one had bef re heard, will not now bestow upon the state ment that degree of examination which it calls for. We have have been for several days without any arrivals from France.. Four days papers are now past due. Yesterday the Duke of YORK transacted business with the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton House.

The return of the boat last night from the Mar quis of Wellington, East Indianian, confirms that she is full of water, and that there is no likelihood of her being got off. The blowing weather experienced again last night and this morning, must have contri buted to make a complete wreck of her, and has also prevented any boats or smacks going from hence to try to save the cargo. If the weather moderates they will certainly proceed to endeavour to save as much of the cargo as possible. Sailed this afternoon the Java and Europe, East Indiamen, for the Downs; the Lord Wellington, Kwit, and the Franklin, a Dutch East Indiaman, remain in our Roads. RAMSGATE, MARCH 9. The Glory has been got off this morning, and gone into the Downs. The Auckland has also been got off and into this harbour. The Asia remains on shore, but the greater part of her cargo has been or will be saved without damage. The Argus conti nues in the same state. DEAL, MARCH 9.

DOVER, MARCH 9. A large French schooner, with two topsail-yards across, from Dunkirk, passed by this Port on Satur day last, with one of our Pilots on board, for Rams gate, but when abreast of the South Foreland she was upset by a heavy squall, and all on board perished. ANOTHER LETTER-SAME DATE Wind W.S.W. blows strong.—Sailed this morning the Chichester packet, Captain RurrErt, with a Mail and passengers for Calais; also the Lord Sidmouth, Captain PEAKE, for that Port with passengers ; and the Princess Charlotte packet, Captain HALLANDS, with a Mail and passengers for Ostend.. Arrived this morning the DOVER cutter, Captain DAVISON, from a cruize, with low of boom. On Saturday, during the gale, the Mate of this vessel (Mr. Goss') was put on board a large French schooner, which had been driven out of Dungeness Roads with the loss of her anchors and cables, for the purpose of conducting her to Ramsgate, and when off . the Fore- I land she was upset by the violence of the wind, and foundered, with all the crew, The DOVER was near at the time, but could render no assistance, having no boat to put off. The name and destination of the schooner are not known.' PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 9. Wind W.
