cndnet at the Congress of Vienna, where each of n.e Powers sought his own views with the utmost r apacity, and let the Committee look at the effects of it rapacity. Those Powers had, by their conduct i nwards Saxony, discarded the wishes and Alienated re afft ctions of the Saxon people. This effect was 1. 0 ! too glaring in the transaction which had recently 1:d to the execution of S 7 unfortunate Saxon soldiers, :mil the dismissal of 1500, who were salt home to Nazony from the Prussian army in such a manner as to •, , revent them from influencing the opinion of the German people, and especially of their countrymen as they passed ; but the opinion of these people was and the opinion of all mankind was outraged . .y the conduct of the Powers by whom they and :heir Sovereign had been so grossly ill treated, with the consent of that boasted punisher of ancient dy oaslies, the Noble Secretary for Foreign Affairs.— On these grounds the Hon. Member concluded with ex p r e.s.ng his resolution to vote against the grant of any British money to such Powers. Mr. BANE= explained. Mr. C. GRANT said, that when the amount oil the subsidies paid for the last five years were stated, the amount of the glorious successes resulting from them should in fairness have been sated also. The Honourable Gentleman who spoke last bad said this was a war for the restoration of the Bourbons ex. pressly. He did not know where be had gathered th it opinion ; but he (Mr. C. Grant) found in the Treaties an express declaration that such was not the object r.f the Allies. He thought we ought to go to wAr while we were sure of the spirit of our Allies, and before the intrigues of Bonaparte could operate to disunite them. Sir J. NEWPORT rose amidst a cry for the ques tion. He said he would deliver his opinion, although he might make Members wait a little who were just coming in to vote on the question, without having heard cne word about it. What would the people of this country have said, if Louis XIV. had told them he trd not object to their deposing the House of Stuart. but that he would not allow them to put William 111. on the Throne ? Oar ancestors would have spurned at such an insolent intimation.—[He was proceeding to reply to Mr. Grattan's speech of last night, when be was called to order by the Chair. man.] —It was in vain to say that the object of this coalition was not to restore the Bourbons to the throne of France. He would oppose the subsidies, as he had done the vote of last night, for going to war. Mr. S. WORTLEY said, he never heard such a comparison from a Whig as that made by the Ho nourable Baronet, between the calling of William 111. to the Throne of this country, and the return of 80. naparte, after abdicating his power in the face of the world. He would give his most cordial vote for the war ; and also for the subsidies, without which the war could not be carried on effectually. Mr. W. SMITH contended, that as the Powers of :Europe had joined in a grand confederacy to protect themselves, they ought not to expect any subsidy from us for bringing their own forces into the field. This vat was undertaken to put Bonaparte out of the power of again disturbing the peace of Europe. We had once reduced him to confinement, without resouices, from which he escaped; and be thought that those who allowed him to do so, deserved no subsidies from us. Mr. P. MOORE arose, amidst load cries of Qua& do % He called nit the Chancellor of the Zteheqoet to display the financial state of the notion before he' walled on the House to vote these subsidies. In the name of his constituents he protested against this war,' which they considered as covering the nation with disgrace, and tending to plunge them and their fami. lies into poverty and ruin. The House then divided—For the .Resolution of Subsidy, 160—Against it, 17—Majority, 143. Adjourned at TWELVZ o'Clock till Tuesday next. JAMAICA PAPERS. NAStiAU, APRIL 5. There can be no doubt of an order from Spain having been received at the Havannah to enforce the laws of the Indies against all foreign trade, and to shut the ports immediately against the ships of all nations. This, however, is a task not likely to be so easily accomplished as directed : the Spanish Colo rists, As may he supposed, after having so long bene fited by an almost free trade, are not at all inclined at t nce to relinquish an intercourse so lucrative and enivenient as that which they have been in the enjoy. =meat of f: , r so many years. As there has been as yet no immediate attempt to enforce the royal decree, it may be inferred, that there exists'a necessity of exert ing the hand of authority with caution. APRIL 12.-1 t is ieported, we cannot state upon what authority, that strong symptoms of jealousy have beta shewn at Havanna in coinsrquence of the frequent arrivals of British ships of war in that port, and that orders had been issued by the Spanish Go. vestment to prevent the landing of the officers and crews, except in limited numbers ; orders, however, 'kith it is supposed, did not receive any very parti. eider respect. • NSW YORE, APRIL se. fORTVOLTDIR AND FRENCH FIRATIL•O•CaPt• &Alai the Spanish ship Is Conception, who arrived he this morning in 241 days from Havanna, infortiss us.

CURACOA. MARCH at. When the schooner Gertrude was at Margarita, on the 9th instant, the French Frigate la Duchesse d'Angouleme, Captain Ile Villeneuve, the sloop of west Ia Yentas, and the schooner Messenger, arrived at that island, for She purpose of taking on board the French residents there, vbe were requested,. in a Proclamation from Admiral Linois, to embrace the opportunity of quitting Margarita ; otherwise, such of them as remained would forfeit all claims to pro. !Pction as subjects of the French nation. Previous to the Gertrude's leaving Margarita, a Si,anish flotilla of eleven sail, principally schooners uric, smaller vessels, appeared off that place, supposed with the intention of making an attack on the istmiti ; but on perceiving the vessels of war in the roadstead, they shaped their course to Cameos, without at ttrnpting guy thing.

No change had taken place on the 23d in the disposition of the Army in the neighbourhood of Brussels. On Monday last, 20,000 very excellent troops, belonging to the Duke of BRUNSWICK, were reviewed near Brussels. The Duke of WELLINGTON has issued an Order not to suffer any more strangers to perambulate the - 7 rontiers—a very necessary precaution against spies. Sedan and Montmedy have been declared in a state of siege. They are, pthicularly the latter, in a formidable state of defence. Field-Marshal Prince SCHWARTZENBRRO arrived at Manheim on the 10th, and immediately proceede.l With Prince Wasoz to visit the works on the Rhine. The pontoon bridge at Phillipsburgh is probably Inislled before this time. The King of Mumtaz left Vienna on the 15th, and the King of PRUSSIA on the 17th. The Emperor of AUSTRIA will quit his capital to join the army about the end of this month. It appears by accounts from Sicily, that the army of FERDINAND was collecting near Metazzo, and that I the head-quarters were to be removed on the Ist of May to Messina, whither the King was to go in per son. A constant correspondence appears to be kept up between Sicily and Calabria, the inhabitants of which being strongly attached to FIIRDINA.ND, will probaby declare in his favour as soon as his troops effect a landing. The Swiss, like the rest of Europe. are busily oc cupied in preparing for defence against, if not to assail the common enemy. The accounts from Switzerland agree in stating, that all the people of the better and more respectable ranks on that side of France are de. cidLdly favourable to the cause of Louts XVIII.— only the garrisons and dregs of the people cry out Viet i',Emitereer. In Alsace several Communes have bad ezecntionary troops quartered upon them, be cause. their young men refuse to take up arms •for BONAPARTE. The get' d'armes having been de prived of their horses, have cooled much in their zeal for the Corsican, and are frequently ill treated by the regulars. On the ISds, General LA PM% the Governor of Lisle, addressed a Proclamation to the inhabitants, calling upon them to defend the place, &c. &c. It p composed in the usual French style, and furnishes nothing deserving to be quoted. Paris Papers of Tuesday and Wednesday have ar. rived ; but they are remarkable for nothing but the , confession they inadvertently make of disaffection and resistance to the reign of NAPoLr n N. Thus they Inform us, that at Marseilles the National Guards have been disbanded, for the purpose of king again sr:axe:eV Anonymous letters are sent to the Muni cipal Officers, and other adherents Of BONAPARTE" threatening them with the vengeance of the lawful Sovereign r these are pretended to be altogether de spised;—but they must have had authors, who watch for the opportunity to execute their threats. — But there is one pAnt on which the Usurper's press is particularly loud: the English mixers Ire quently approach their ports and hoist the white fiAg.

The farce of donations to support the cause of the Usurper, not only fails in its object, but betrays the hatred of the French to his sway. In the Monitaire of Tuesday and Wednesday only one donation is r,- corded, and that oue only 100 francs. A charity aermnh in London for a Cimily unroofed by a fire will at any time produce a Eager sum than this call upon the French nation. wait the entire influence of the Paris Press, will produce for NAPOIXON's cha rity-box. The French Papers still keep up the farce of the pacific disposition of England, and the almost daily arrival of coot iers from Vienna. There must be some object m all this, for BONApART3 cannot be unin formed of what is not attempted to be concealed on this side the Channel. We think it not improbable that be aims at a sadden stroke on some part of the line of the Allies, that he may have the eclat of a victory occasioned by the pretended discovery of the treachery of his enemies, while holding out to him the hopes of peace. It will not, however, be in his power to surprise the Allies, and his hoped-for victory may prove highly disastrous to himself. We have been in momentary expectation of the arrival of the French Mail, but by our letter from Dover this morning, the delay is explained :—the Captain of the French packet that last came from France to Dover states, that he did not expect any further regular communication would take place be tweeen the two countries, and that in all probability it would be the last voyage he should make to Eng land. Previous to his quitting Calais, every man ca pable of bearing arms Lad been dragged away for the army, and nothing was heard in the streets but lamentations for the loss of relatives and friends. PARIS, MAY 22. The Captain of a vessel, who left Fremantine on the 16th of May, states, that he was a witness to a considerable fermentation on the shores of St. Gilles. Near the fishing-ground were several English vessels, one of which hoisted a white flag at the mizen-mast. The evening of his departure from Fremantine, this Captain learnt that a body of insurgents had attacked ,a p :st of invalid guarda-costas and douaniers, going from Sables to Noirmoutiers. Every measure has been taken for the security of this coast, and to watch all the movements of the English. COvnIER IaTRAORDINARy OF TuRNDAT mORVING. •' Marshal Sachet has arrived at Chamberi.

A great number isf_half-pay Officers left Paris to-dity, in carriages, for the army of the North." PARIS, MAY 24. We learn from Rouen, that on the 15th instant the people of St. Malcou arrested and put in priion the Cure of the parish for wearing a white cockade in his hat in open day. In the Cote d'Or, in the Jura, and other Depart- ments, packets of proclamations and decrees, signed Lemare, Lafon, and the Marquis Jauffroy, Commis sioners from the King, have been circulated. As the authors of these papers have no other object than to damp the noble spirit of , the French people, to extin guish the desire for glory and the sacred fire of pa triotism with which onr warriors are inflamed, the Prefect of the Cote d'Or has ordered these enemies of their country to be arrested. By an Imperial Decree, the city of Marseilles has been declared in a state of siege. Agitators cunvie. ted of endeavouring to disturb the public peace shall be arrested and conveyed to Fort La Malgue. The present national guard of this disaffected city shall be ditso Ived, in order to be re-organized. The French fonds waver between 56 and 57. CHAMSYRY, MAY IC.

All the peasantry have received orders to carry off their pro visions on the first invasion, and arm themselves with their instruments of husbandry. The inhabitants of these unhappy countries are reduced to despair, and 'impatiently expect the arrival of their liberators. The King of Denmark is expected at Altana on the 2lst of this month.
