It was true, as had been said by the Right Honourable Gentleman, that the Cornmissiontrs of In. quirt' were already investigating some of the charges, and it was the object of his Noble Relation to . afford them ever] possible facility for doing so, because he was satisfied that the more it was inves!igated, the more fully would his character be rescued from the gross attacks and abuse with which it had be n loaded (Cheers). Ile did not mean to enter upon the subject if those attacks which had constantly been kept up in this country during the last year : they proceede I from anonymous writers. Neither should he derail) t• c b, ref ruing to the reports circulated at the Cape of Gocd !lope, which were of so vile and abo minable a description, that, as had been ob erved by an Honourable Member, their very nature destroyed their credibility—(lleat, hear). He had only to implore the House and the Country to suspend their judgment until hi• Noble Relation had been heard—(Cheers). Ile could assure them that it was his intention to avail himself of the leave of ab- fence, and to return and meet the charges in this Country. Mr. BROUGHAM said there could be hut one felling in the House as to the speech which had just fallen f►om the Noble Lord. If it were any gtatification to the Noble Lord to know how he felt upon this sub ject, he had the •atisfection to inform him that he had never read one single pamphlet, or one line of the charges made against I.6rd Charles Somerset, escepting what was contained in the Petition. The Noble Lord might he able to jus. tify himself against every one of those charges. and he should keep his mind entirely free from prejudice until the question came be fore bim. hoping every Nlember in that House would do the same. The East India Judges, and the Writs of Errors Dills were read third time and passed. NEWPAPR.R DUTIES BILL• • 3 , e . 4 The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. moved the order of the day for bringing up the Report of the Newspaper Duties Bill. Mr. HUME expressed his regret that he was not in the House when this Bill went through the Committe-, as he intended to have proposed some alteration in the clauses. He could, however, still effect his object with very little trouble. That object was, to reduce the duty on all newspapers in the same degree as the Right Honourable Gentleman proposed to reduce it on sup plements only. If the Right Ilonourab:e Gentleman would consider the great impediments thrown in the way of persons wishing to advertise, and of commerce in general. by the high rate of the present duty, which lessened the number of newspapers, he was quite sure that lie must consent to the reduction. The effect of the increase of duty had always been to retard the cir culation, which had not at all kept pace with the in creased wants of the public. Between the years 1806 and 1814 the increase of duty was 326,0001. In the year 1815, after the duty had been raised, and in con sequence of that the price of the paper, the amount of increase was only 4,0001. Upon the last nine years there had been no increase at all com mensurate with the altered circumstances of the country. The reason of all this was, that the article was taxed too highly, and the people had not the means of pro curing it. The effect of newspapers upon education, and the spread of knowledge, ought also to be another powerful consideration, and he trusted the Right H Gentleman would, upon these grounds, consent to re duce the duty upon the whole of the papers. Ile must see that the Bill did not make an equal reductitin ; be cause it only went to relieve those papers which pub lished supplements, and not such as from the extent of their circulation were never called on to do so. He should with to see the same course pursued with regard to advertise ments. Since the last increase of a shilling on tl e advertis. went duty, there had been no increase in the amount of revenue received, which proved that great injury must have been done to commerce. The Hon. Member referted to the state of newspapers in Ames ica, to shew the superior advantages of low dtries. In Philadelphia there were six times as many papers published as in Liverpool. The proportion of adver tisements was the same, because the price of insertion was only about sixpence, and the paper sold for three halfpence. If the duty on advertisements were reduced to one shilling, he was convinced that the loss to the revenue would be fully made up by the increased cir culation. if the Right Honourable Gentleman would consent to this reduction, the interests of commerce would be greatly benefited by it. When the price of a paper was threepence, instead of sevenperce, people would take one for themselves, where they now clubbed tiree or four together. Ti is object could be effected by the present Bill, by leaving out the word " supple ment," and declaring it to apply to the whole of news paper stamps. If the Right Honourable Gentleman would consent to make the experiment, he would gua rantee him against loss. Let him but try it for one year, and if it did not succeed, he would then consent to any alterations the Right Ho:z. Gentleman might propose. The Hon. Member moved au amendment for leaving out the words in question. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that if he were going to sell an estate to the Honour a:ali Member, he might take his guarantee. But when the consideration was half a million of taxes, he mug bt: excused for preferring the ordinary mode, and re fusing to accede so the Honourable Gentleman's very friendly offer. He thought he ss as granting a consi derable relief to the Newspapers by this Bill, and one with which they seemed to be vet y well satisfied. But t'.e Honourable Member said, in removing the duty only from those papers who issued supplements, there was something unjust. But it must be remembered, that if the relief was extended only to one class, they had been the persons who alone issued the instrument upon which the duty had been paid ; therefore the others could not complain whose circulation did not re quite the payment of the extra duty. When he con sidered the amount of reduction which had been made during the present Session, and the many other items of taxation, which had been so much talked of in that House, and also that he had nibbled a little at this, he could not venture upon giving up so large a portion of revenue at this late period of the Session. The Honour. able Gentleman seemed to think that the publication of Newspapers did not receive sufficient protection, consi dering _their usefulness in spreading education and knowledge. All hi could say upon that point was, that scarcely a Sunday pasted, without this being fa voured wish some new Newspaper, with a most bril- Prospect -Id soliciting his support.

The Customs Regriintiens Bill went through the same stage. SCoTCII PARTNERSHIP SOCIETIES BILL. Upon the mourn for the•third reading of the Partnership Socie ties in Scotland liilL Mr. J. I'. GRANT opposed the Bill, upon the ground that the Preamble stated that to he the law of Scotland which several deci sion+ of the Court of Session denied. The LORD ADVOCATE contended that this enactment wasp wise and u s eful one fur Scotland. Ile offered no opinion upon the question whether it would be beneficial to extend it to England ? He confined himself to Scotland, and with respect to that country. he was convinced that general business could never have gone on unless the law had been so understood. The House, he hoped, would see the use in this light. and agree to the measure. Mr. T. WILSON supported the measure. Mr. SCA It LETT said, he should not intt rfere with the appli cation of this measure to Scotland; but he protested against its being brought into England. Mr A. BARI NG deprecated the introduction of any law into Scotland which was not good for England. The fact was, that the state of the law upon this subject was different in each of the three portions of the kingdom; and it was in'that state of perfection, ac. cording to lawyers, that no man could tell what the law really was. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL observed, that if the law was not very intelligible in this particular, it was not attributable to lawyers, but to those commercial men who hid framed the Bill relating to it in that House. The meaning of the present Bill was to declare that to be legal which had long been the acknowledged practice of Scotland, but which the present Act upon the subject left in a state of doubt. After a few words from Mr. J. P. GRANT and Mr. KE:73I DOCGLAB, the Bill was read a third time and passed. The Leith Harbour Bill was read a third time and passed.

According to the latest accounts (torn Corfu, of 23th of May, the Seraskier Redschid Pacha had collected fresh reinforcements in Arta, and had again advanced against Anatolie° and Missolonghi. The Greeks are in his rear, divided into small bands, and endeavotir to capture his provisions and ammunition, while the gar rison of Missolonghi daily makes sallies and engages the enemy. The Missolonghi Journals contain nothing of importance relative to the late events. CORFU, MAY ss.

NJ. 110, of theflyd►a Gazete, of 9111,y, contain: the following extract from the Greek Chronicle of April 5 : • MISSOLONGHL APRIL 5. We receive to•day the unexpected news, that the ene my's forces lately assembled at Arta, under the Seraskier Redschtd Pacha, have crossed the mr,untains of Macry noros, and have encamped in Aretha. The inhabitants of Mount 'altos have been ordered,by the Government to guard that important position ; they expected A'lskor whom the Government had appointed to corn mand them, but were obliged to disperse before they' encountered the enemy. However, as soon as the abosementioned commander art ived, he assembled troops, and we hope lie will do his duty to his country, and chew himself worthy of the confidence of the Government. The Piedmont= Gazette of the 11th instant, received this morning, contains long accounts of the fetes given in Genoa to the Sovereigns, while assembled in that city. At the ball given in the Ducal Palace,- the Ga zette describes the Ladies as a , sparkling with youth and beauty, who seemed to have been dressed by the hands of the Graces, in every charm that elegance, taste, and magnificence could bestow ; but this is a scene which we cannot venture to describe, as we think co pen worthy of it, but that which described the G ar . dens of Armida in the Temple of Guidos." We have received the French Papers of Monday, with the Mae of Tuesday, but they are extremely barren of intelligence. The Opposition Journals have recommenced their attacks on the Ministers, and begin to consider the failure of M. DC VILLELE'S plan fur establishing a Three per Cent. Stock as already certain. The Quotidienne asserts th it the rise which had been accomplished in thi, Stock, between the 14th and 18th instant, was wholly produced by the manmuvres, and at the expense of the Treasury. 02 the former day, the Three per Cents. were at 74f. 80c. and on the 18 , h they had risen to 75f. 65c. by the exertions of the Mi nisterial agents, as it is affirmed. and with a view to influence the money markets of London, Amsterdam, and Frankfort. It seems clear that the new Stock is not in great favour at Paris, and M. Da VILLIILE must seek fur success elsewhere: he probably reckons much on an extensive circulation of the transferable certifi cates in this country. The private correspondence from Madrid represents the Spanish treasury to be in a state of utter destitu tion. For as immediate supply, the ruinous and op pressive expedient of a forced loan will be resorted to, The whole kingdom is in a wretched condition, which is aggravated by the failure of the harvest, and the consequent rise of blead. If the French were not at hand, it is easy to perceive that another _revolution could not be far distant. Eight individuals of the party which scours the environs of Aranjuez, had been exe cuted on the Bth in the capital ; but as much discon tent had been expressed by the people at a preceding lexecution of two members of the same band, nearly the whole garrison was put under arms on the present occasion. One of the French Papers contains a report on the state of the kingdom of Poland, presented to the Diet by tl:e Polish Minister of the Interior, several passages of which are extremely worthy of general attention. That part of it which describes the condition of the cultivators of the so I employs nearly the same language which the agricultural interest of this country employed during the late depression in t: e prices of agricultutal produce. id With us," says the Minister," as well as in nearly all the rest of Europe, the efforts Of the landed proptietors have tema;ned without result and without compensa . tion. This basis of our social edifice experiences every year a frightful depreciatioti." Advices from Genoa to the 10th instant, confirm the departure of the Emperor and Empress of AUSTRIA for Milan. The Kirtg and Queen of NAPLES still remained with Prince CARIGNAN, heir to the Crown of Pied mont, and Prince Marrearrica, who continued to have conferences with various Ministers. Public fetes had been given in almost every town to the Imperial Visi tors, but a hope is expressed that the veteran statesman who exercises de facto the sovereign authority in Austria and her dependencies, will not judge of the spirit of the countries through which he has passed by the noise and pimp of spectacles, but that he, will convince him si If and the EMPEROR, " That the joy of the Italians at this moment is entirely in hope and in s clueing illusions relative to the future; he will not forget that the Sage is .often obliged to sigh in the midst of those fetes, while the oppressed hides his tears iu silence."
