The CHANCELLOR of the Eicitucoltik lisioa room wend to the Honourable Member to withdraw the wiry 'which recommendaden the Honourable Member • 4UARANTIMIE L*WS. . 4 . Mr. GRANT moved the third reading of . tfie Ctoa rantine Lbws Regulation Bill. A Committee of ,ias; Session had made a Report to the Hoiree, on which the present Bill was founded 4 He wit convinced that some Members had neither read , the Report of the Committee nor the provisions of the Bill: The Bill proceeded on the principle of the old Quarantine Lain, chat the plague was contagious; against which it was necessary to guard: Several eminent medical men had been examined before the Committee, all of whom were of opinion that the plague was contagious. The Bill referred to the pupil meat of those who violated the Quarantine Laws, and placed ample powers in the hands of the King in Council. 'fhe punishment of death had been done away, except in the case of a forgery of certificates of health. The Com mittee bad recommended that the period of quarantine should be reduced to 21 days after the goods had been landed. Upon the clean bills of health the Committee had been unanimous in their opinion. But as to that pa , t of the 'Quarantine Laws, a relasition had formerly taken pl ice by order of the Privy Council. It was the intention of Government to appoints Medical Inspector to examine the different learantine stations, and to report to the Board of Trade. Sir I. COFFIN stated the cue of a Medical Gentleman who thought the plague was not contagious, and had volunteered his services to attend the sick in the Island of Gorse, and bad fallen a victim to his temerity. Mr. Secretary CANNING felt relieved by the speech with which his Right Hon. Friend had)rt obliged the House. Ile was very anxious that the House ould understand that theductrine of non-contagion, bad really not received any coun tenance from the most experienced and practical men. The mis chief which had been produced by the unreserved and conhsient declarations that had been made by the disc ptet of this doctrine, was positively much greater than perhaps those Gentlemen were aware of. Already at Marseilles, at Genoa, k much longer quarantine *as imposed on British shipping, than odd* shipping of any other EurOpean nation. At Naples, in addition to the usual terns of quarantine prevailing there, they had imposed a term of twenty-one days upoi British vessels that had quitted Great Britain, even, since the Gentlemen who were such determined non-contagionists had promulgated in all places their opinions—(Hear).—Under these circumstances, be certainly did wish that Gentlemen would he pleased to keep such *Orion, a little more to themselves; or it they would continue their experiments, be heartily trusted that they would be tried and exhibited, as such experiments ancient'' , were , in carton sill, rather than in a manner to prejudice the general fare of the community—(Hear).—He was happy to say, however, that the public appeared to have no disposition to 'concur in the theories to which he had alluded. : Mr. HUME said, it was the duty of Ministuristneontradict the rumours on the subject. Sir. HUSK ISSON wished to take the safe Me, and to presume that the plague was contagious. It was no fault of the Gbvernment if false statements were made on the subject. Mr. DEN MA N adverted ti the Papers of the late Dr. Bailey, from which it appeared that be thought it would be dingerous to alter the present system.—The Bill was then read a' third time, and passed. Mr. Secretary PEEL gave notice, that on Tuesday he should move for leave to bring in a Bill to alter the law respecting Writs of Et ror.—The House went into the Committee of Supply. ' Mr. HEERIES moved a grant et 5613,000 for the Repairs of the Harbour of Lyme Regis. Mr. HUM E opposed the grant, as 106,0001 had been already expended for these purposes, which could by no means be regarded as a national object. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, the liar bunt was the only one that afforded a shelter in certain winds, on the track of coast Min Ports p wuth toPlymouth. In 1824,25 vessels found shelter thoe, which otherwise must have been driven ashore. BARI NV 'thought the grant partook of the nature of a job. . . Mr. B. COOPER said, that he would most conscientiously give his vote far any 'se* which might be deemed necessary to repair that to which he was indebted for fife, and which might yet be means of preserving other lives far mote valuable to the community. Mr. HUME.' moved 66 emendator, that the Chairman do re port proves& The Gallery was then cleated fur kaivO, when there appeared, For the Amendment IS—Against it 66—MeOrIty SI. In answer to a question from Mr. BaauAL, Mr. Secretary CANNING said, that in 1517 a Commission of Arbitration had been appointed between this country and the United States, relative to the slaves which were taken is North America, and which were private property ; and the result of that arbitration was, that 200.000 a was agreed upon as the compensation to be awarded, in accordance with which the present vote was proposed. The Report was then brought up, and ordered to be taken into further consideration on Monday next. Tilt MAURITIUS TRAM' %ILL. Mr. BERNAL objected to the Bill, which went to place the islands of Mauritius and Fmk, on the same footing as the British West Indies. For eight or nine years the inhabitants of the former bad illicitly tracked in Slaves, while the latter were strictly pro hibited from such practices. It was, therefore, unfair not to give the one the same privileges as the other.. Upon these s and other grounds he called upon the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite to explain why be introduced this measure? Mr. W I LidoT- HORTON said, that at the time of the capture of this island, it was stipulated that it should be placed on the same footing with the other cnkinies of Great Britain ; and the present measure would have no other effect but that of fulfilling that stipu lation. The circumstance of the blauritius being within the Rinks of the East India Cumpany's Charter, and therefore rendering the sugar manufactured there liable to the same rate of duty that was payable on East India sugar, was merely an accident, of which he conceived advantige ought nut to be taken, especially , whin it was considered that those limits extended to the Straits of Magellan. . As to the alleged inconsistency of the inhabitants having at one time claimed freedom of trade, and subsequently changed their round, and requested relief with respect to their sugars, cogent reasons might be Found in the papers for their conduct. In con sequence of the Order in Council of 1816, connected with several local circumstances, the inhabitants found it necessary to abandon the tree port, and, as they had a right to do, to adopt the alterna tive which was embodied in the measure now before the House. The Hon. Gentleman had mixed up the remission of duties with natters not connected with the question. He stated slaves bad been introduced into the Mauritius, and that it would be unjust to those who had opposed the slave trade if any favour were shewn to men who supported it. This assertion must be decided by fact; and if the Hon. Gentleman would look at the papers, be would find that for years, the trade had not eiisted ; and that even prior to 3821, it was nut carried on to any great extent. On this subject information would perhaps be hereafter given, to a much greater extent than the House was now in possession of.. An armed ship was certainly stationed in &than Straits, not, however, for the prevention of the slave trade in . the Idaurtrius, but for the preventioa of the' , general slave trade, wLich might **benches be carried on. The Right Hon. Gentleman then read a number of accounts to sbew the insiknificant quantity of sugar grown br the Mauritius with what was grown in different West India Islands. and concluded by gls. serving, that it would be an act of great injustice not to omen those duties, which had been imposed under an accidental, and, in fact, an ide;lconnesion of the Mauritius with the East Indies. Mr. ROSE ELLIS conceived that sense special ground should be shown for exempting the produce of this Island front the duties payable on that of the East Indies, to which, by stipulation and treaty, they had been rendered liable. Mr. HUSKISSON said, that in the hat Session of Parliament, it was stated that the commerce of the Mauritius had a freedom of trade which contributed to the at that Colony. He then thought it was desirable to put tieest India Cohnsim upon the wine footing!. A Bill was consequently brought in for removing restrictions an the West India trade. Tbeobjectioa was, that the Mauritius had carried on the Slave Trade be 1480. A great part of the evidence respecting the carrying on that illicit trade ap plied to the Isle of Bourbon. The fact was, that the Slave Trade bad not been carried on in that Island during the last five years; and the question of sugar duties had never been before made part of the slave trade question. He thought the West India Colonies might leek with very little 'jealousy at the small quantity of sugar in this adoey : derived front France, the Mauritius was' only valuable for its situation. From all the information he had re ceived, ir - appeared that the slaves were treated with more kindness Mai LONDON. SATURDAY, JUNE 4, 1825.* STOCK EXCIIANGF., TWELVE O'CLOCK.

They contain sane secants from Greece, but they are not of a very specific charactir. They state that Inanin Pawta cannot obtain a Asia footing in the Peloponnesus; that Patras ie more strictly blockaded by sea that ever, and closely in•, vested by land, and that the garrison has been but partially relieved ; that Raeseurn Pacnis diversion in favour 'oP Lusa mtit, had en tirely failed, that in short, every Mort en the part of Turkey in this •fifth campign, had proved abortive. The foliating is the only article of interest:—lt is reported that an English Envoy is expected in Alexandria, who, in the name of the Edda Gamma*, is to propose a plan to the Viceroy of Egypt for funning a junction between the Red Sea and the Me diterranean. • The Constitmtionwel Paris Paper of Wednesday, con tains some intelligence from Greece, which, - with the . exception of the reported barbarity of IBRAHIM PACHA , we shall be happy to find coafirmedp It is contained in.an article from Zante, of April 29, in whicbtbe opera tions of InRAHIM PACHA are described froin the moment of his landing in the Morea, and all. the detached ac- . couats which. we have previously received of his partial igements and defeats are confirmed, His attempt riafe of whit the loss of I ,j0:30 men.

It is said, le caused their hands And ears to be tutoaff, under the pretence that they had betrayed the Confidence which he bad reposed in them. Their number is computed at . not less than one thousand—(we presinie one hundred is here isitesilad, if so many).—We are happy to find that there .WaS•alle , $ single Behest amongst them, but that they were all Freneb,ltalials Genoese, and Germans. The article which announces these wanton acts of barbarity, says, " The horrible mutilation which those men have undergone as the reward of the services which they bad ren dered to the cause of despotism, makes it our duty to give publicity to this shameful affair,in the hope of preventing farther misfonunes." Had the writer said " bleat:lions," the word would bate been more appropriate. Letters from Missokinghi and Prevesa represent the state of dm Turkish divisions in the other parts of Greece, as by Demeans bet ter than that of legume in the Mores. They are said to havo . beep. beaten on every point, whilst the great leader of •them all, Rans CUM Paola, suffered himself to be surprised, in a dark night, 'ln Karvissara, by eight hundred Etolians, who made dreadful havoc is hit camp. The British. Consul, at Prevesa, is stated to have,an trounced the arrival of Reascrus in that town after the.discosull ture of his army. Admiral Mamas seems to have emulated the activity of the land sonsmanders, for he bad blockaded, with forty vessels, s division of the Egyptian Beet. and thus prevented thr escape ordse invaders from the Morea. Meanwhile Admiral Sacavosnr, with fifty vessels; was waiting off the Dardanelles for the Ottoman feet. . . We have already stated that the Coronation of the King of FRANCE, although attended by all the imposing ceremonies of the Roman Catholic ReliAiGn, was•anoch inferior, in point of grandeur, to the Coronation of the King of Gaza: Bitreent, where the ceremony partakes of a political and religious character. The arrangements, too, at Rheims, do net spite* by any means to have been complete; and the accident 'which betel the Royal carriage, together with that which occurred . at Rennes, on preparing fire-works, cast a gloom over the Knee, who is nutfree from superstition; indeed, the French have always looked for some oc€urrence at the Coronation of their Kings,l on which to build future hopes oe fears. Hexer 111. on having the Crown put on hit head, said, 4, It pricks me;" and when, two centuries afterwards, Loos XVI. at his Coro nation, complained that the crown hurt his head, there were many Frenchmen present who, recollecting the fate of Hum, considered the remark of Louts as ominous. The weather, too, at tbe Corona. don, was discouraging ; and the ceremony, during which the Kusti was on his knees nearly two Men, was fatiguing. These, we think, sufficient reasons why the Kure, who is not a young man, being in his inth year, should look somewhat dispirited. We have already alluded to the bad arrangement at the Carona• ties. Every one knows bow, at the Coronation of Gaines the Fourth, everything was go judiciously ordered by Lord Gweers, that there was not the slightest confusion, but every person was ad mitted at the proper time and place. On the contrary, ut Rheims, the gates of the Church were beset * persons entitled to, and seeking for . admittance; everythheg was in confusion ; women in fell dress were crushed, aria Aar robes-tat tered ft the *tort a:meanly way. The Duke of hieStetrussesaiano, in his Court suit, worth h'75,000, lost his way in the crowd, where he was hustled about and almost suffocated, like the most insignifi. cant personage in it ; and for more than an 'hour was unable to Make his way to the rest of . the Diplomatic Body. Etiquette appears. to have been studied at this Coronation. Is Ea:gland the King dined in the same ball with the Princes of the' Blood, the Peers, Commoners, and Citizens; but in France, when the King dines in public, and every rustic can measure the appetite and taste of the Monarch by his own, the Km: refused to addle the Diplomatic Body even to dine in the Royal apartment ; the cones. quence was, the Times says, that the British and Russian Andsae sadors dined at their own hotels. Etiquette also would not peg* Commas the Tenth to accept the invitation of the Duke of Noss: 1111/101111LAND, the consequence of which was that no ball wiggings. The same etiquette precluded the Duchess of Noarnunintaiani him being invited to the Coronation, and she therefore retuned at Rheims. Surely the French will no longer talk of their gallantry. when they thus treat a distinguished Lady—the Consort of she King of Gettig Barrant'a Representative. The Coronation has evidently been a mismanaged affair, and the number of persons assembled at Rheims was by no means so peat• as was expected ; it will, however, be seen, by the following extract of a letter from our own Correspondent, that the inhabitants endea voured to make the molt of those who were there : " R 11,1341, MAY -IL " The Coronation, the installation of the Knights of the Order of St. Esprit, the visit to the Hospital of St. Macrould, the pions devotions at the ancient Abbey of St. Remi, and the rises II the troops in St. Leonard's Field. are all over, and are span et as things thatwere. I told you the only evil here was dear living. but I find that Quests X. hasezereised that prerosatige of Kings, touching for the scrofula, at the Hospital of St. Macrould, but with what success I know nut, though I am assured the sick who received this mark of Royal condescension, have great confidence in its effi cacy. If it succeeds, - we may truly say with Shakspeare-- 1 The King cad enact more than a man.; But I was speaking of dear living, and therefore mesons a RAJ moutons. For some days before the Coro nation almost every house was turned into an hatellanti, and on my arrival a few days ago, an English Gentleman was asked right hundred francs (E 32) for a small bed-room, on the mond floor s and lodging for his servant. who with his horses and carriage were to' be all jumbled together in a woollen warehouse, converted into a stable ; with great difficulty he obtained, in a by-street, at a paltry Inn, a bed-room, and accommodation for his servant and horses,, for .C2O, for four days. Provisions did not keep pace with the lodg ings, for such was the influx in the market, that butter, which was generally sold at lid, fell to sd: but the innkeepers profited by this only, for a bad dinnereost a guinea, and some carried it to the * - .ls of demanding es ter a cup of coffee."
