CHARLESTON PAPERS, Fzi. 4. The Legislature of this State adjourned at six o'clock on Wednesday evening last. A most solemn and affecting scene was witnessed on that day in the Senate Chamber. A Message was re ceived from the Senate, informing the House, that the High Court of Impeachment had come to a decision in the case of Judge James, and was ready to pronounce its judgment. On the demand of the House, it was resolved that the House should forthwith attend in the Senate Chamber, and a message to that effect was sent to the Senate. 'Upon the return of the Messenger, the Speaker rose ; and, follosed by all- the Members, proceeded to the Bar of the Senate, where he demanded judgment upon the impeachment pretetred in the name rat the people 'of SOuth•Carulina against the Hon. William Dobein James, a Judge of the Cuurt of Common Pleas. Mr. James was called in, and took his seat at the Bar. He was supported by Mr. Stake, the Secretary of State, on the one hand, and by his son on the other. His situation was calculated to excite the sympathy of the Assembly. He stood a feeble, afflicted, forlorn, old man, with a family dependent entirely on his salary Jot. support. lhe President then saki, th.tt it became his painful duty to pronounce that the Honourable W.

ISLE OF MAN—CORN. Mr. CURTEIS said, that seeing the Secretary to the Board of Trade in his place, he was desirous to ask hills 1 a question connected with his office. He understood .that the Isle of Mau, which had always been subject to the same Corn Laws as existed in this country, had 'by accident been omitted in the last Bill that was passed. The consequence was, that great quantities of corn were imported from Liverpool to the Isle of Man when the Act was not in force. He had applied to the office, ,when he was told that no such trade was carried on ; .but the Returns from the Custom-house proved dis inc tly that there was, and that o . e importation amounted to some thousands of quarters a week. He wished to know from the Right Honourable Gentleman whe- ther the trade was nuw going on, and H hether some regulation could not be made to ptevent it? 4r. T. F. LEWIS said that the Hon. Gentleman bad rightly stated-the imperfection of the law, which was.entirely owing to the loss of the Corn Bill last Ses- sion. lie might re , t assured, however, that what. ver Bill was brought in this year, care would be taken to correct that inaccuracy. With respect to the existence of such a trade between Liverpool and the Isle of Man, he could state to the Ilon..Gentlentan, that the last in= quiry he had made on the subject was as recent as the 19th of February, up to which period the trade was cart) ing on at the rate of 4,500 quarters a week. This was the quantity imported into the Isle of Man, but no portionot it was re=imported again into Liverpool.— Thinking thAt a remarkable circumstance, be wrote again to know how the corn had been disposed of ; but whether it was embarked in any of the ships in the Channel, or was still kept in the hie of Man to be sent back at a future period, he Was not able to ascertain. Cate snould be taken to avoid such an inaccuracy in the nett Bill, as he had already informed the Honourable Ge'ntleman. JpNATLIAN: TQL Mr. LUMLEY moved the Order of the Day for calling Jonathan Fox to the bar to be discharged. He WAS accordingly placed, at the bar, when the-SRsAxert addressed him to the following effect : " Jonathan Fox—The offence for which you were committed to his Majesty's gaol of Newgate was that of wilfully suppressing the truth when you were examined before a Committee of the House of Commons. The offence was one of enormous magnitude. It is obvious that if, it had been overlooked, the ends of justice would have been deteated,and the dignity of the House impaired. The House, therefore, bad no other course to pursue than that upon which it has acted. Since your committal, you have approached this House-with a Petition, in which you have alluded to the delicate state of your health, expressed sorrow for your offence, and prayed to be discharged, in consideration of your infirmities and your re;wntaace. It is because this House believes that your health is deticate—because it believes that the feeling of regret you have expressed-sincere, and the amendment you have promised, intended and probable—it is for these reasons that they have ac ceded to the prayer of your petition; and they are confident, that in doing so, theft motives cannot be mistaken by you or by any one FRENCH PAPERS. FROM THE GAZETTE DE FRANCE, MARCH 9. VIENNA, Fa 28. Oar accounts from Constantinople are to the sth ,'ley state that at that time the Porte had suspended *the petsecution against the Armenians, and disapproved the 'conduct of the Patriarch. It is also said that our !Interponeio is ill, and has asked leave of absence, which has been granted. M. de Huszar will transact the bu siness of the Legation during his absence. We hear from Corfu that. M. de Guilleminot has arrived there, and that he was very much surprised at not finding either ofhis colleagues. It is thought that his stay at Corfu may not be very long. M. de Ilibeaupierre will go by land from Trieste to Ancona, whence he will re turn to Corfu. Mr. Stratford Canning seems to have received, at Ancona, dispatches requiring hint to return to Englend. It is said that he will be succeeded at Constantinople by Lord Strangford. The letters from Corfu also state that Fabvier has been obliged to raise the siege of Scio, and that by the mediation of M. de Rigny he has concluded a conven tion by which he has permission to retire. Count Capo d'lstria has arrived at Egina, and one of the first acts of his power, as President, has been to order the execution of several pirates duly convicted. •As he has not brought any considerable sums of money to Greece, it is to be presumed that by such measures he will soon lose his. popularity with his countrymen, among whom piracy has been organized as a lucrative profession, in the exercise of which the Primates themselves have not disdained to take p.n.—Asps burg Gazette. FROM THE FRONTIERS OF RUSSIA, Faa. 15. The English Cabinet, sthatever may be the sentiments that prevail in it, cannot' have failed to perceive that a 'doubt on the course of its policy would have the most 'prejudicial effect on the relations of the Powers with 'each other ; while ; on the other hand, it depends upon It alone to remove all dangerous embarrassments, and to preserve the good understanding which has recently manifested itself in the most difficult circumstances, and cannot be disurbed if the measures agreed upon . are strictly executed. It cannot, therefore, delay plainly to declare its resolution, to secure a confidence which can., not be acquired but by sincerity, and which must be considered as the most certain guarantee of the public tranquillity. If no schism occurs in the policy of Europe, through the views of the English Cabinet ; if the sentiments of disinterestedness, on which the whole edifice of the Grand Alliance rests, are maintained; not only until no means be spared to attain the proposed end and to effect the pacification of Greece, without military measures; but even if, after having exhausted all diplomatic effoi ts to make the Porte understand its position, it should be found necessary to have recourse to arms, it would be not to depart from the line of pacification. The Porte must be blind to its situation in an incre. jible degree, and resolved to expose itself to the utmost danger; if, after having rejected. all friendly remon strances, and in spite of the correction it has already received, it should resolve to risk the chances of an open, contest, and make war by sea and land. It would thereby not only draw upon itself the Powers united by the Treaty of London, but would also oblige the neutrals to disapprove its conduct. If, on the part of the great Powers, there is no fear to be entertained for the rupture' I of the existing relations, may the Porte make it its duty to turn this disposition to its advantage ; for it would cruelly deceive itself if, repulsing the last attempt of the peat Powers, it should refuse to listen to the voice of. reason, in the hope that time and conflicting interests would disunite the Cabinets, and produce misunder standing among them. The Porte, by persisting in its present policy, may easily find its existence endangered ; for by seeking to excite in its people in an odious manner sentiments of national pride and faith, it stimulates those sentiments in the Christian nations, and this is what will happen as soon a; it should violate the sanctity of treaties, and think that it may, as its caprice shall dictate, destroy the commerce of other nations.

East RITTORD nisrumsesswomorr arm Mr. TENNISON moved the Order of the. Day' &idle 'House resolving itself iota a Committee on the East Hafted Disfranchise ment Bill. On the question being put. Mr. D. W. HARVEY reminded-the Misuse. that hi •had•ststed his intention on Friday of examinee Mr. - Crompton with respect to the inquiry now goutgitu relative to the borrhiph -of East Retitled. :"Before •fie stated his reasons, linfteiver, for the mbirott with 'Which he should conclhde, he thought it tight toirtforrrs Vie Hs•use, that he had written to Mr. Cromfitott Onftidai, Ito ask whether he would attend in his place, oewhether be would rather wait for an order of the Bduse? Kr. 'Crompton its his answer had stated his intention of at- Wading on Monday; but •in a subsequent note Wad pleaded a severe cold as an excuse for not attendini before Thursday or Friday hest, to whiCh period fie re quested that the business might be postponed. It was Isis intention to move that Mr. Crompton should be or dered to attend on Friday, for the more he read and considered the evidence, the more certain was he that the testimony of the Hon. Member was of importanee to the case. The object of the present inquiry was to punish the borough by blotting it from the political map of the country. The House did riot meanie proceed upon any general principle of ParliamentarY reform, bilt• F 1 to investigate closely and punish severely, MI casts. of palpable malfaisanee. They were not bound by the rigid rules of law, but the Hon. Gentleman who had brought forward the question had endeavoured to establish 'a ease of continued practice against the borough, selecting the different periods of 1812 and 1818 for that purpose. In his examination of the witness who had just been discharged, be had asked how the 2,8001. which was lodged in the Retford Bank had been disposed of? T. ivitnets had at fist pretended total ignorande, but 'oa being pressed and admonished by the Chsirtoiri;* hid' said there was an impression on his 'SsOild..that . tlse balance had been given to be (Attributed asnoug the electors; but he would ask, was that esfidenli opus which they could convict the . borough? . The witness had further said, that he believed he could speak poii tively on the subject, if he had a riaper in his possession which Mr. Crompton could give him. Was 'not this a• ' material chasm in the evidence? And how 'could it be so well filled up as by 'questioning Mr. Crompton on the subject ? It was' the duty of the House to obtain - the best evidence it could get. He was sure it would not be necessary for him to quote the journals of the House, in order to show that it was consistent with its practice to call upon its Members to give evidence.-1- He had no personal motive in making this motion ; but he would say that they would deal harshly with' the borough, if they proceeded to extinguish its political right's upon such evidence as was now before theme:— The Honourable Member concluded by moving, that ea Samuel•Crompton, Esq. do on Friday next attend the 'Committee of the whole House, to whom the East Ret ford Disfranchisement Bill has been referred? Mr. Alderman WAITHM AN said, that whether Mr. Crompton was examined or not, the House ought to protect its own character. He did not think the evi dence of Mr. Crompton necessary. He thought that part of the case satisfactorily made out. But, after what had passed, if Mr. Crompton was not called upon An attend, the world at large would say that the House was more sparing of the feelings of its own Members than it was of those of &hers. For that reason he (thought that Mr. Crompton ought to be called upon to give evidence. ' r.G. BANKES would not then enter into the general question, but • he would avail himself of that opportunity of making a few observations upon some of the evi dence. He agreed with the Hon. Member for Colchester. that the evidence was imperfect. He (Mr. B.) found it both imperfect and incorrect. The evidence of Mr. Hannan), and of Mr. Piggot, was unsatisfactory and contradictory ; and he should move that other witnesses should attend for the purpose of being examined. It was at matter of great importance to learn the numher of persons implicated, as that would affect the case is ht n the' House came to the question of the degree of punisl ment. But there was one person whose evidence would be•of the utmost importance. He considered Mr. Fol jambe's appearance necessary to prove by' whom the 1,2001. had been supplied. That sum was espehded in ordinary election expenses, but it wou•d be desirable to know from Mr. Foljambe whether the.e was any further pecuniary support from the same quarter. It was his intention, therefore, to move that he should be sum moned. He wished also to have an opportunity of ex amining Mr. Hannam and Mr. Figgot aga 'n. Mt. SYKES said, it was the intention of Mr. Cromp ton to have attended that night in his place, but he was very seriously indisposed with a cold. He had in his nd the certificate of a Medical Gentleman, stating that Mr. Crompton could .not attend without great in convenience. He saw him lattly, and he could assure the House that his Hon. Friend was not in a fit state to appear abroad. He, however, begged him (Mr. Sykes) to assure the House that it was not his intention or de sire to avoid any examination to which the House narght please to subject him, being ready to repose his hor.our aced security in their hands. His Hon. Friend, however, doubted whether it was competent to the House to put any questions which might have a tendency to criminate himself. He (Mt. Sykes) did not doubt the competency of the House to call upon one of its Members to attend in hii place and be examined. • The House, however, would well' consider before they pat questions which might be attended with the most baiter legal come- .1 . .
