He recollected that was the general opinion on the other side of the lh snme time ago, that the late treaties had left ilutope with the seeds of danger ready to spring up, a-.d eventually throw the nations again into war and r•riit—he was surprised, then, to hear that those 10.

Mr. F. DOUGLAS said, that if he thought the measure dangerous to itself, he thought it moan more so, when connected with the declarations of the Noble Lord—(hear, hear). The way in which he had brought the Bill forward, had induced hitt to look into the preamble for the reason of the measure ; and he con tssed, that he was ilot much disappointed, in finding tliat the preambloinaker to the Cabinet, had not been able to find a single reason for the measure—(hear, sear). Was it then to be borne, that a Bill of this importance should be suffered to pass, when the Ca binet accountant would not set forth a single reason in its favour? True, it was said, that an appeal was granted to the Alien, when power was unjustly ex ercised against him.—(/!ear from the Ministerial Benches.) But to whom was that appeal to be made ? From the Minister, who abused the Act, to his col leagues, who conferred on him the power of abusing it—from the mild judgment of Lord Sidmouth to the nod and impartial decision of Lord Castlereagh ! they, hear.) This is adding mockery to injustice— (sear).—He was told that the Peace Bill differed from the War Alien Bill ; but that was only in some minor details; the great principle remained untouched, and be spoke advisedly when he called it a permanent measure, because there never could be a time when it was less called for than the present. They had been told to look to the French Revolution fir the reasons for this measure ; but would the No ble Lord have the face to say, that there was any thing, of the same character in the present conditioa et Europe ?—(hear, hear)—lf by Jacobinism was meant that it was despotism in the people to com plain, when a grievance was pressing upon them, he feared it would be a long time before .Jacobinism was eradicated from this country—(! Pa;, hear) — But if by that term, was meant a suppoi.ed attach ment to Bonaparte, he would refer the Lord to the conduct of the Sovereign of France, who had surrounded himself with the very men, against whom the House was told it was so necessary to guard— Vear).—As to the plot against the Dmke of Welling ton, he need not say how much he abhorred such attempts ; but it might as readily have been framed to Fiance as in the Netherlands ; so that the argu ment drawn from that event, in favour of the Bill, win futile and unavailing. He would not believe 1 . 1 t the English people were so accessible to foreign !ituer,ce ; and there was not the slightest proof, that all the distresses of last year, the disturbances were set on foot by any GOvernment but our own— (i'vr, hear, hear was afraid that the mind of ?).e Ni)hle Lord was too much filled with his digni t,s, as au Ambassador, to perform the duties of a Legislater—(Hertr, hear, h‘vr)—and our an- "':.7s raver thought, whoa they were jealously this country from an admistme with fo !"i'4 policy. that thee should one day be represented b. a Nobli.• Lord, who would dress the country, as otm, a;:idast the desi cf PROVIDENCE:, 1 :sets 0 the .s•ort-I•x (a . contirwal inttione—V ear, ea r) acc ea r Ninfis z'!:.

They were told that the power of this Bill would not be abused, and that the House might confide in those who were to administer it; but however highly he might think of the characterl of Ministers as men, he should not place any confi dence in them in their official capacity. The Consti tution knew nothing of confidence —it was made up of jealousy and suspicion, and he should regulate his conduct by the same maxim—(llear, hear!) If, as was said, the Crown had the power of sending aliens out of the country by proclamation, where was the necessity for this Bill? and he conjured the House not to assent to it ; for if the power was given by their sanction for a temporary purpose, the Executive would grasp it for ever Loud cheering.) ' The House then divided.—For the second reading, 97—Against it, 35—Majority, 62. The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to he committed on Tuesday. When strangers were admitted into the Gallery, Mr. BINNIT was putting a question to Ministers, the object of which was, to know whether they intended to discuss the Bin then before the House T Mr. BATHURST said, that Ministers had no right to make ' an answer to the lion. GentLman's question. Mr. BENNET 'maintained that he had a right to take the course he had adopted, as there was a question before the House. The I louse must remark, that in the debate which had just closed not a syllable had fallen from sly Member of his Majesty's Go vernment—not a word had been said by either of the Law Offi cers of the Crown. Nothing had been iald either by those who were in possession, or who were in expectation of office--(hear.) When was the measure to be debated on that side of the House? Were they to understand that the Noble Lord isad entered into an engagement with the Kings on the Contintnt not to discuss this question? Was this considered necessary by the Holy Al liance? Was this the course most agreeable to those Sove -1 reigns who were now breaking all the promises they had made to their people, and who were stimulated to the course they pursued by the Noble Lord opposite, with whom they were combined? —(hear, hear.) He had not wished to add one to the number whose speeches had this night remained unanswered ; but be should be glad to know when their High Mightinesses would deign to debate this BiU ; and he should also like to know what were the peculiar circumstances of Europe which culled for the adoption of such a measure at this moment? Lord CASTLEREAGH said he should make no other reply to the imputations thrown out by the Honourable Gentleman, than to say, that he had on a former night given his reasons for introducing this measure ; and he knew not what right the lion. Gentleman had to put such questions to Ministers. • Mr. LYTTLETON wished to know if a Right Hon. Gentle man opposite (Mr. Bathurst) could give any explanation of the case to which he had before referred—that of Mr. Befort? Mr. BATHURST could not at present give any information on the subject of that particular case. He would inquire into it. The Bill was ordered to be committed on Tuesday. Sir S. ROMILLY gave notice that on Monday he would move that certain papers relating to the Abolition of the Slave Trade should be referred to a &sleet Committee, and that the opinion of the Attorney-General of Dominica, touching the pu nishment of Slaves, should be produced. The Irish Partnerships' Bill was ordered to be read a second time on Monday next. On the Motion of Mr. S. BOURNF., the Second Report of the Poor Laws was ordered to be sent to the Lords. General TIIORNTON gave notice that he should, on Tues day next, move for an Account of the number of Persons ad mitted to the Libraries of the British Museum, for the purpose of reading.—Adjourned.

We have received various accounts from Chili, Bue nos Ayres, and the United States, but so perplexed and contradictory, that it is difficult to learn from them the real state •of matters. The lettors from Chil i reach down to the I Ith of December, at which date, official accounts from General SAN MARTIN had ar rived at the capital of Santiago, stating that one of the Government vessels had just entered Valparaiso with two Spanish prizes, one a ship with a cargo worth 500,000 dollars, from Cadiz, and the other a brig, bound from Lima to Cadiz, with produce and a large sum in specie on board. According to the declaration of the brig's crew, it was understood that in De cember, an expedition was to leave Lima for the pur pose of ze-conquering Chili, consisting of 4000 men, under the command of General OSORIO. In Peru, a levy of Ames icans, Europeans, and Mulattos, had beta carried into effect, in order to complete the above number, and they had been formed on the basis cf 1500 regulars just arrived from Spain. This was considered as the last effort of the Peruvian Viceroy to remove the theatre of war, with which he was threatened, from Chili. In Santiago, (the capital of Chili) the preparations for the campaign were in creasing, and every one hoped soon to have an oppor tunity of freeing Lima by what was expected to take place in Chili. Nothing could exceed the enthusiasm felt by all classes towards General SAN MARTIN, and nothing could surpass the patriotic zeal and activity with which he forwarded the organization of his army. By the latest returns, the Army of Buenos Ayres consisted in all of 4,609 men, and that of Chili of 4,136—t0tal of both armies, 9,044, exclusive of the Staff. Commanders, Generals SAN MARTIN, BAL CAREE and BRAVER (French); also, the individuals of the Military College, intended to form Serjeants and Cadets.—This body of men is completely armed and equipped, and a reserve depot of 20,000 muskets has besides been established. l'he discipline is such as to excite the admiration of all foreignei-s. The letters from Buenos Ayres are to the '24th of January. One of them gives the following picture of the present posture of affairs : _ _ _ " The present :Government reigns with an iron rod, and ba nishment is the order of the day; but it will require all the vi gilance and energy they possess to stop the flame that is now rising, and which ultimately must burst forth with a rage un precedented in this country. The success of the troops in Chili is very doubtful. Talcahuana, which has never been in the hands of the Patriots, and on which they have made two un successful amid's, has been reinforced from Lima by three thou sand men. L.st news says she Patriots have evacuated Con ception, aiici radon upon the town of Tatra, on the river Man& The :.stack made by these people against General Assiows, of Oriental, has met with the reward it merited. In the altaak, they tint with a too at NO killed and 41 primal% and one piece of artillery. T►e force gone against the Banda Oriental, is only 1000, and fthink it extremely doubtful- if many return to tell the story. AItIOAS is a brave, Intelligent man, of little education, but of sotind, solid j4dgment ; adored by his army and the people of his province, and I believe the only true Republican in the country. He is now draggling with all his force against the combined efforts of the Portuguese and this Government. How must a Republican feel when he Pees and bears a people crying one for Liberty and down with all Royalty, and at the same moment assisting a crowned head,in establishing its tyrannie dominien over a free people I Is it consistent? Is it credible? But such is the case, and I lute you to form your °pintos. They may call AMINO; brute, savage, *toaster. Let' him be so, he is at the head of his nation, by the unanimous de sire of the people ; and the Portuguese are invaders of his terri tory, assisted by the Government as much as they dare and as much as they can." . Another letter from Buenos Ayres state' that there the ship Esperanza (Hope), of 40 guns and 300 men, had been fitted out under the command of Captain W. W. a British Officer, in order to double Cape Horn, in pursuit of the Spanish frigate Venganza (Vengeance). She left the River Plate on the 23d of January. The Royalist Army in Upper Peru had re treated to Potosi. The Norfolk (United States) Herald, on the other hand, loads ARTIGAS' with every opprobrious epi thet, and asserts, that nothing can go on well while he shall hare the chief command.—" The whole of South America," says the Paper alluded to, " on the South-side of Rio de la Plata, is now entirely free from the Spanish yoke. The two conquering armies of Buenos Ayres, who are under the particular com mand of the celebrated Generals Sr. MARTIN and BELGRADO, having conquered the extensive province ofChili, are now on its northern borders, and upon the eve of commencing operations against the Royalists in the province of Peru ; so that Lima, with its golden harvests, may soon be expected to form another l►nk in the chain of republican dominion. The inveterate hatred they bear to the European Spaniards, and their " adored FERDINAND," is beyond conception. In this part of the Republic all is tranquillity, order, and system. Every day here seems like a day of general festivity, and one can see nothing in the people indicative of the great contest for their inde pendence ; yet they are, apparently, strangers to fear, and are vigorously engaged in contending for the independence of the neighbouring Provinces. On the north side of the River things will never go right as long as ARTIGAS is the Chief in command. lie is an ambitious and a dangerous man, and it evi dently appears that he has no other object in view in driving the Portuguese out of that country, than to sit himself quietly down as its sole master. There fore you may readily perceive he has not many friends in these Southern Provinces." The Baltimore Telegraph, of the 27th of March, resuscitates the Patriot - MINA. We subjoin the pars graph, but we must have accounts to corroborate the statement before we can give it credit : " GENERAL MINA NOT DEAD! " On the authority of two letters received in this city, one from the Aid of General Mn*, dated 14 days since, the other from General Mom himself, dated only 20 days since, we are bustified in asserting that the account published of that Officer's eing taken and shot, is without foundation, and that his af fairs are now In a more prosperous situation than ever they have yet been !" The Paris Papers of Wednesday arrived this morn ing, but are quite barren of interesting matter. The Chamber of Deputies have not had any meeting for several days, and are expected to adjourn early in the ensuing week. The Funds are now rather on the decline : Tuesday the 5 per Cents. left off at 67 fr. 80 c. HER MAJESTY last night had a select party. The Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND were at a Concert, given by the Duke and Duchess of MONT.. ROSE, on Thursday. The Duchess of GLOYCESTER'S Assembly, on Thursday evening, produced abundance of work for the coach-makers--not less than two hundred car riages were almost completely crushed to pieces. The ROYAL SOVEREIGN yacht is arrived in the Downs, and will sail in a day or two for Calais, in bider to receive the Duke and Duchess of CAM BRIDGE, who are expected there on the 19th inst. . - Extract of a letter from Demerara, dated March 19.—" A shocking circumstance occurred, inland, on the east coast of this colony a few days ago, the par ticulars of which, as for as they have transpired, arc these :—Several of Mr. Van Baires Negroes having absconded from his estates, the Beehive and the Bush, Mr. Torre, brother-in-law to Mr. Van Baires, and an engineer working on the estate, volunteered their ser vices to go back, well armed, with 13 of the trustiest of the estates' Negroes, to endeavour to secure some of the runaways. They travelled a short way to gether into the woods, when they met a party, with whom they had a brush, and took nine prisoners.— They dispatched seven of their own Negroes to carry these nine home to Beehive, and with the remainder of their party, which only consisted now of six, they determined (though very imprudently) to penetrate deeper into the forest : and, a short time afterwards, they fell in with a few more, among whom were some of Mr. Van Baires own people. With these the Whites remonstrated, and advised them to return 'home, and they would be pardoned. In this they ap peared to acquiesce, and were beginning to shape their course homeward, when one of the runaways suddenly stopped, and said to Mr. Torre—' Massa come dis a way ; go and me sail show you plenty such Negro here.' They agreed to go. This man led the way, and in a short time conducted them to the very centre of a camp, composed, it is said, of upwards of SO Negroes. Their unlucky fate was now soon de cided. Mr. Torre seeing a black man dressed in a red coat and epaulets, immediately aimed and fired at him ; but this rascal suddenly stooped, and the shot passed him, but killed another who stood by him. Torre was wounded immediately by a shot from one of the camp Negroes, when, to complete his destruc tion, the man in red ran up, and, with one stroke of ai l cutlass, nearly severed his head from his body. The I , engineer seeing the fate of his companion, endea voured to effect his escape, but did not succeed, for he was brought back instantly. and murdered piece meal. He was quartered and otherwise shamefully mutilated. Report says, that a large tire was then made, and the butchery closed with a song and dance round the murdered remains of these two un fortunate young men. An expedition of the East Coast Militia is preparing to proceed into the Bush, and sanguine hopes are entertained of success, when something decisi* will no doubt be done." • • . . c • , . • 271 S ARM?. . • .......... , . • i The (10th RTlmeot is now on ts age home • in from Gibraltar, order to be disban ded. - We understand that an Ordet has been iseneafront • the Horse-Guards, for every Officer belonging to Re. i , ..
