(*.MIAMI) had spoken of the tw chters as of leases w hi c h had expired; but what wa o s th e real history of these charters ? In 1720, the two Companies were in and they were to pay 300,0001. each ; but corpor aced, in a subsequent year they were excused from paying mote 000/. each ; which sum they actually did pay, than 150, and the Act of Parliament stated that on giving three years notice, and repaying the money advanced, the charters should ceaseby the 16th section of the came Act, it was provided that if the charters should be found inconvenient, the King might at the end of 31 ye ars revoke them. He (Mr. Grenfell) would put it to the House, whether this was not a materially different statement from that of the Honourable Gentleman ? Ile (Mr. Grenfell) never would compromise his opinions, from any regard to the situation in which he stood with respect to the chartered Companies, but he would contend that the application ought to have been made to the Privy Council, and that it would be a gross breach of faith if this Bill should pass into a law.— This measure was certainly not a novelty, for it was the forth attempt of the sort which had been made since be had the honour of a seat in that Ilouse. The first its i n 1806; the second was in 1810, when the Hon. Member for Taunt introdced the measure; the third attem pt on u was made in 1811, when the Honourable Mem ber for Lymington advocated it, and the Bill went to a second reading. The persons who then concurred with hi m (Mr. Grenfell) in opposing it were Mr. Spencer Perceval, Sir Vicary Gibbs, then Attorney-General, and Sir Thomas Romer, the Solicitor-General. These distinguished lawyers all opposed it, on the ground that th i s H ou se was not the proper tribunal, but that it should go in the first place to the King in Council. In 1813 the same parties did bring the subject before the Privy Council, but the opinion of Lord Eilenborough, who h a ppened to be present, was so adverse to the proposi tion, that no more was ever heard of it till the present motion, which, he would again repeat, the House could pe r consent to without a breach of faith. Dr. LUSHING TON said, the Act of Parliament re ferred to by the Honourable Gentleman was framed NI years ago, on principles which no man at the pre sent moment could consider, without saying at once they were totally el roneous. The preamble stated, that the establishment of the Oompanies was to give security to the patties in u. ing ; but if it should appear that only four parts in a hundred of the whole insurance business of the country was done by these Companies, it was quite clear that the Act of Parliament had failed to effect its object. The Honourable Gentleman (Mr. (irciiell) supposed that the Act of Parliament gave these chartered Companies exclusive rights fur ever, unless some person went before the Privy Council and proved them injurious ; but the Legislature, so far from having ties up its own hands, had been particularly careful, and had, in fact, fixed two modes of doing the . same thing. Mr. T. WILSON thought the present Companies rltist he protected, unless it could be proved that they had been laird ul. He was of opinion there were but Jew insurances but what could be effected by the under writers at Lloyd's, even without the two Companies; and that at present the Public had all the advantages of the re-pectable firms in the City ; for either one partner signed for the others, or a broker at Lloyd's signed for the %\ hole. With respect to the charge of 25 per cent. by the broker, the Honourable Gentleman must be in error, for the charge was only 5 per cent. He thought there was nothing before the House to justify the asser tion i:bat these Companies had been hurtful, and there fore, under the words of the Act of Parliament, they 'ight to be protected. The proper mode, he thought, would he to move a Committee to inquire if they had been injurious, or to refer it to the competent tribunal. Alderman BRIDGES concurred in the praises which had been given to the underwriters at Lloyd's for their liberal mode of transacting business. The SOLICITOR GENERAL said, that without pledging himself to a definite opinion, he thought there was nothing in the Act of Parliament to prevent the House recon-idering the subject.—Mr. BUXTON briefly replit !.—The question was then put, and leave was giver. to bring in the Bill. Mr. BUXTON subiequently brought in the Dill, which was read tee first time, and ordered to be read a second thug on Tues. day, the aiith instant. Dr. LUSIIINGTON gave notice, that he should on Friday present a rcli!lotI from three British subjects, who had been scat away by the Griverainwnt of India. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the Howe si:journed at a Qaartar to One o'Cleek. 14: EV EN ING ►7IAIt. LONDON. TUESDAY, MAY 18, 1824. THE FUNDS. STOCK EXCHANGE..

Last night, in. the House of Com Mons, Mr. Burnt; ought in his Bill to enable Partnerships and Public Companies to employ their capital in Maritime Insu ., aut., from which they have hitherto been prevented ley an Act passed upwards of a century ago, when ae commerce of this country was trivial compared to what it is at present. The Bill was opposed on the ground of its suppo s ed interference with Lloyd's Coffee- House, an excellent establishment, and the Sun Fhe Office, the ohly Companies that possess the privilege ; but M. • IlusKissox very satisfactorily removed all doubts of this, by stating that these bodies only insured (me twenty-fifth pact of the insurances effected; and that ninety-sir pacts cut of 4ery hildred were with out such security. The Bill was brought in and 'read a first time. Frankfort Pagers to the 11th inst. and the Austrian Observer to the sth, reached us this morning. They contain some statements respecting Greece from the Oriental Spectator, which has displayed g‘ its ruling passion strong in death," and has terminated its course with invectives against the Greeks. The Austrian Observer contain's nothing but a long and boasting account of the magnitude of the prepara tions of the Tut-Its for a new invasion of the 11 , 1orea ;of their patience and equanimity in adversity; and of the powerful assistance which their new Commander in Chief, the Pacha of Egypt, was to give them, though he did not mean to act in person himself, but had re signed the command to his :on 'stratum. The Frankfort Papers contain intelligence from Alex andria, which agrees pretty accurately with the ac counts published in the Austrian Observer and other papers, of the proposals made by the Porte to the Vice roy of Egypt, and his acceptance of them. But doubts are expressed, both with respect to his intention of send ing his son InnaHtm, to take the chief command against the Greeks, and with regard to the number of troops that he will send; it is rather imagined that he will not send .above 7,000 or 8,000 men as his contingent. The following are further extracts from the Frank fort Papers : FRANKFORT, MAY 10. We have received the Oriental Spectator up to the 27th March. It will not be published any more; the Editor has taken leave of his leaders. The Greek cause is thus relieved from one enemy. The Editor of the ()lima! Spectator, in the course of his labours, had drawn down on himself the reproaches of almost all the Journals of Europe. Ilis partiality to the Turks, his injustice towards Greece, have many times excited the indignation of honourable minds. This man, it is well known, is by birth a Frenchman: he is accused of having been paid by the Turkish Ministers to extol their humanity, and to write down the liberty of Greece.— However this be, in closing the career in which it has acquired so little glory, the Smyrna Journal contains the following accounts. SYRA, MARCH 38. Discord still prevails among the Greeks. Pietro Bey, Sotiri Karalambo, Metaxa, and Colocotroni, mem bers of the executive power, were outlawed by a decree in thirteen articles, and withdrew to Tripolizza, where some disorder ensued : tart of the people declared for the present Government, but Colocotroni employed the soldiers, who were devoted to him : they fired on the people, of whom six were killed, and the remainder were dispersed by the use of the bayonet. The outlawed Members thought fit to make proposals, through Deme trius Ypsilanti, to the new Executive Body, requiring that their adherents should be pardoned—that a national assembly should be called—and that Pietro Bey, Sotiri Karalambo, and Zaim should be made members of the Executive. These proposals were rejected with contempt. Young Colocotroni, in consequence of an understand ing with his father, has indeed refused to give up Na poli di Romania, where he commands, but the garrison of Fort Palamida, which commands the town, has de clared for the new Government. Varvaki has sent 40,000 talaris to Calamata, through the Archimandrite, which he is to deliver to the Go vernment there, if it should prove to be stable. Iconomos, of Hydra, is to go to the lonian Islands to negociate with the partizans of the Greeks, who are numerous there, for a loan of 100,000 talatis. In the STAR of yesterday we stated that an insurrec. tionary attempt had been made at Lisbon by the parti• sans of the QUEEN and Prince Mrauct., which had for its object to overturn the present Government, and form another on mote Ultra principles: but that it had been suppressed. The firmness of the KING has, on this oc casion, been conspicuous. It appears by the private accounts from Lisbon, via Paris, to the 4th instant, that Prince MIGUEL had the temerity to place under arrest Count PALSIELLA, the Prime Minister, without any other authority than his own sign-manual. For this proceed ing he was cited into the KING'S presence, who, before all the foreign Ambassadors, whom he had collected in the Audience Chamber to witness the proceeding, repre hended him in the most forcible manner for his intempe rate conduct, and daring contempt of the Royal authority. The Prince, it is said, was wholly overcome by the ad dress of his father, and fell at his feet acknowledging his guilt and soliciting his pardon. The Kirin, how ever, gave orders that both the Prince and the QUEEN should retire to one of the Royal Palaces, ten miles from Lisbon, in a species of honourable imprisonment; and that Count PALMELLA should be immediately set at liberty. His MAJESTY took the precaution, it is said, before - resorting to a measure which required in him a most extraordinary exertion of firmness, to ap peal for support to some of the principal officers of the army, who did not fail him in the difficult eme:-- tency in which he was placed. The consequence O r these events had been, ti e placing Lord BERESFORD, by whose advice the KING is supposed to have acted throughout the whole proceeding, in a situation of high favour and ascendancy in his Councils, which was of course accompanied by a correspondent decline in the influence of the french Minister, by whom the violent conduct of the QUEEN and the Prince was believed ro be secretly supported. No interruption to tha public tranquillity took place in consequence of the order for the removal of the Qusii and het son from Lisbon ; indeed, the whole affair is understood to have passed so quietly as to escape the notice of the great bulk of the ' population of the capital. The next packet expected, which is the Stanmer, and which has probably been kept out by contrary winds, Will no doubt bring more detailed accounts of these proceedings. In the STAR of Thursday we announced, that the Ex-Emperor Iruitsrus had secretly left this country for Mexico; and conjecture is at variance as to the ob ject of his mission. A Morning Paper states, that, " almost every vessel which has come to England from Mexico, for the last four months, brought pressing in vitations to General Ds ITURBIDE to return to that country, which, since his abdication, has been distracted by different factions, contending about the species of Government that ought to be established there. In ab• dicating the Crown of Mexico, he was actuated solely by a desire to avoid a civil war ; he now returns to Mexico as a soldier, not only for the purpose of putting an end to the divisions whidi vex it, but also forthe purpose of securing its independence, which is menaced equally by intestine discord, and by the resolutions of the Holy Alli:ince. —We ate confidently assured that ITURBIDE resisted every solicitation which was made to him, until he became fully informed of the determined views of the Holy Alliance in assisting FERDINAND, by intrigue and by secret supplies of money, to attempt the subjugation of the whole of South America. Under these circum- stances he felt it a sacred duty to return; he has gone. not with any views of personal aggrandizement, but as a soldier, to maintain the independence which his cwn efforts and talents gave to his country." Notwithstanding the confident and flattering terms, in which our contemporary of the Herald speaks of General ITunatoa, we confess we do not augur any such favourable results from his mission ; but think his presen:e in Mexico more likely to disturb than mote its tranquillity. Ile is a soldier of fortune, whose ambition made him assume a sovereignty which he had not the talents to maintain, or the virtue and moderation to render beneficial to his country, and his abdication, as it is called, was involuntary. In short, he acted as TOBI N says in the Honey Moon," like a well-bred dog, which always runs down s•airs when there Xs viol, nt preparations made for kicking him out of the room." He was pensioned at 23,000 dollars a year, on the condition that he should not return to Mexico, where he had become very unpopular. General de ITuastrit left town on the sth instant for Somersetshire, and having seen his daughters placed at school, he pro ceeded from thence to Southampton, where a vessel was in waiting to receive him. Upon his arrival at Southampton, he learned that General SAN MARTIN had just left that place for London, and he returned to town, in order to have an interview with that distir guished Patriot. They saw each other, and after the interview, General de ITURBIDE returned with out delay to Southampton, whence he sailed with a favourable wind on the evening of the He is said to profess great admiration for our Institu tions, and has left six children here for education. The eldest son, about sixteen years of age, is at Ampleforth, near York; the second, about seven, is at Hampstead;) and four daughters, under eleven, are at convents in Somersetshire.—The following letter, which we pre sume the Ex-Emperor wishes to be considered as his Manifesto, has been . addressed to his legal adviser : " Mr DYAn is probable, that as soon as my departure is known, different opinions may he expressed, and that sonic of them may be falsely coloured. I wish, therefore, that you should know the truth in an authentic manner. " By a misfortune that is much to be deplored, the principal pro vinces of Mexico are at this moment disunited : all those of Guati mala, New Galicia, Oyaca, Yacatecas, Queretro, and others, suffi ciently attest this fact. " Such a state of things exposes the independence of the country to extreme peril. Should she lose it, she must live for ages to come in frightful slavery. " My return has been solicited by different parts of the country, which consider me necessary to the establishment of unanimity there, and to the consolidation of the Government. Ido not pre sume to form such an opinion of myself; but as I am assured that it is in my power to contribute in a great degree to the amalgama tion of the separate interests in the provinces, and to tranquillize in part those angry passions which are sure to lead to the most disas trous anarchy, I go with such an object before me, uninfluenced by any other ambition than the glory of effecting the happiness of my countrymen, and of discharging those obligations which I cwe to the land of my birth—obligations which have received additional force from the event of her independence. When I abdicated the Crown of Mexico, I did so with pleasure, and my sentiments re main unchanged. " If I succeed in realising my plan to the extent which I desire, Mexico will soon present a Government consolidated, and a people acting upon one opinion, and co-operating in the same object. They will all recognise these burdens which, if the present Government continued, would fall only upon a few ; and the ruining and com mercial transactions of the country will assume au energy and a firmness of which they are now deprived. " I have no doubt that the English nation, which knows how to think, will easily infer front this statement the probable political situation of Mexico. "I conclude with again recommending to your attention my chil dren, in my separation from whom will be seen an additional proof of the real sentiments which animate the heart of your sincere friend, " AGUSTiN DE ITUIIIIIDE. " To Michael Joseph Quin, Esq. Gray's Inn." The French Papers — " llibli of Saturday have reached us.— They are chiefly filled with a report of the proceedings in the Chamber of Deputies on the previous day. On that day the Minister of the Interior introduced the project of law for extending the duration of Parliament to seven years, and establishing an integral instead of a partial renewal at every election. Ills Excellency explained the grounds and defended the policy of the measure, in a speech of considerable length, beginning with the ex traordinary declaration, that ever since the publication of the charter, its necessity bad become the subject of discussion; or, in other words, that the charter was no sooner published, than a violation of one of its most important articles was contemplated. The Minister of War, in the same sitting, introduced the project of law for recruit ing the army, which bad passed the Chamber of Peers. The dis cussion was then resumed an that part of the budget which include, the monopoly of tobacco. The commission appointed by the Ch..m her of Peers to examine the project of law for the reduction of the man has elected for its reporter the Duke de Levis. The Kmo, we are happy to find, is in such an im proved state of health, that fresh orders were yesterday issued for holding the Drawing Room oil Thursday next, together with a renewal of the regulations to be observed in regard to the introduc tion of Ladies at Court on that occasion. Yesterday, at two o'clock, the Duchess of a A BENCE, the Duchess of GLouessvitte, the Princess AU. USTR, the Duch of KENT, Prince 1. - xoeous, and the Prince of LLIMINGEN, attended by tl e Baroness De Sraitovis and Captain CONROY, honoured the British Gallery, in Pall-mall, with their presence, to view the Ex hibition of Ancient blasters, together with some Paintings of de ceased Blitish Artists, for which one room was set apart. The Royal Party continued their inspection for about an hour. They were attended by some of the Directors of the Institution, the Se cretary, and the keepers. Yesterday, Earl BATHURST transacted business at the Colonial Department, iu Downing-street, fur the first time sii.ce his Lordship's indisposition. The health of the Fors is said to be completely se established. BOW-STREET-THIS DAY. Jaws Lawrence, otherwise Antes Liam, was put to the bar, charged with robbing his employers, Messrs. Tyson, of Regent street, of money to a very considerable amount. The prisoner had before been in custody, byat was supposed to have reformed It has, however,since been discovered that he cohabited with a girl, in Shire lane. One of the partners in the firm attended to make out the CaS? against him, and Avis and a brother officer were ine:ructed to lcse no means of finding out where the property was. The prisoner was informed that he would be again brought up, and some money and clothes found at his lodgings were given to him.—lle was re manded accordingly. NAVAL lATELLIGENCE.

He mentions that nothing could exceed the grief of the inhabitants of Misso!ought when they heard of his Lordship's decease. The Duke of GLOUCESTER arrived on Thursday last at the Castle Hotel, Priory, Hastings. As soon as the intelligence was known, the inhabitants caused the church has to be rung. The Duke of GLOUCESTER entertained a large Party at Dinner yesterday, at Gloucester House, Park-lane.

The mails arrived this morning, in due time, at the General Post Office, Lentbard-street. The waters on the roads, from the late heavy rains, are rapidly declining. CASTLERAR, MAY 10.—The following flagitious out rage was perpetrated on Wednesday last, in the town of Bellina : A young Lady (as our Correspondent informs), of much personal attractions, respectable connections, and good fortune, was with a female friend on a visit to a family in that town. When on the night previous to her intended departure from thence, at the hour of eleven o'clock, and after she had been undressed, three men forcibly entered her bed-room, laid hold of her, and dragged her out of the house, where a large party were waiting, who regardless alike of her tears, prayers or entre. sties, herded her undressed as she was, to a considerable distance, where the author of this most infamous transaction was in waiting to receive her.— Next morning Captain Goonwist and the Chief Constable of that district, Mr. WELDON, on hearing the circumstance, proceeded to the place of her confinement, a wretched hovel, and succeeded in releasing her. Here the matter rests for the present ;—but. what greatly aggravates the circumstance is, that the person guilty of this crime is sun to the Gentleman in whose house the young Lady was on a visit, and though the family, we are informed, were all up, net one of them came to the assistance of her, whom they were by every tie of hospitality and good feeling bound to protect. Letters ft om the Havannah to the 2d of April, state, that owing to an unfavourable season, the crop of sugar for the pre sent year, it was correctly ascertained, would fall short in the ship ment from the two ports of Ilavannah f.nd Matanzas fully 80,000 boxes (17,000 tons) about one fourth of the usual crop. Besides this, the shipments to Spain were considerably on the in crease, now exceeding 80,000 boxes or chests ; and from these two circumstances, the supply of sugar from Cuba to the Continental markets in the north of Europe must this year be very much reduced. A LoiEßS—The following paragraph Is trom the West Briton :—" From the following extract of a letter received by a commercial house of the highest respectability here, it appears that the Dey of Algiers ha; made his submjssion to this country:— " MALTA, April.7.—We heard yesterday by the Pandora, which spoke the Active off Algiers, that the war is over ; the lky having assented to all our demands, on condition of not receiving the same Co.lsul agasn.
