iostice scruple, and by erains—how they would justify to theraselves such a e,g'eci ? 11 it had unfortunately happened that some pet of the Me-cora:llr Baronet's speech hail already excited a loty;h, surely they aught to be redoubled oven his head at the mere mention of a pesition so monstrous, that it had never yet entered into the mind of man to entertain any the 'like. 'trey: were required to receive imperf.ct information, in pre farence to that of r. better tied mare exact description; hut it it w. re prolser to reteive information at all, it was driveling; to .:tat it was not prneer m receive that which was meat to themselves or to their cowitry. If rot, they mute main tain this stupid doctrine--that they must shut their ears to dan gers which were either actually at their door, or were appre hended to, exist in the country. They must not suppose, that in Olt notice there were any individuals who would wish to in spee couseirators with c- nfidence, or to give security to treason. lie must not say so; but this he would say, that if aoy man had wished to make out that this circle of treason - was, in fact, no other than a golden chain of confidence, he would h.)ve urged ealetly such atguments as they had heard that night. It was un par:lam:Mary to attrihute motives; but he would declare. that if the preeent motion succeeded, the next conspiracy woeld alma. Ile bad no wish to disparage the popularity of the Honourable Aldermen, nor to dereee the trophy which bad been erected in the City to Lis name. He had no desire to do other than honour to this second Whittirgtuu! and, in divesting him of the conse quence:. of his rash and unfortunate motion, his wish was to re stare him, pure ant unseilied, to that elevation which he had r) deservedly obtained. It certainly did strike Mm with amaze ment, that that which had been noiaed through all the News papers, to all the world, (we suppose the conversation between Mr. Alderman Wood and Thisthreeod) had formed no pert of the worthy Alderman's opening speech. But where, all this time, was the charge against Edwards, of money said to have been given by him to Thiselevvood ? Could the worthy Alder man have really obtained the dying accusation of Thistlewood, it would hive been exalted into the legacy of a dying saint ! But this bad not been obtained. The utmost which could he got from hint wee, that Edwards bad supplied Thistlewood with money—that it ,speared Edwards was All active :gent ; but it 31.ntild have appeared that Edwards bad so supplied Thietle wood fre.piently, , censtieely, without stint or list what did he do'? It resulted that the supply bad been at various times a one-pound note. But surely all this time. there were other ways of proceeding against Edwards, provided the worthy Alderman had sutficient al...muds? If Ise had. why Cid not the I lon. Gentleman, and those who supported bins prefer a bib of h ulicialent ? rot what bad be done? Why, be had complained that Led :zielmouth would not grant the warrant. Why, were liecreter les of Slate obliged to grant warrants on every deposieun which an Alderman might think worthy of being fop owe d up by one? Undoubtedly Aldermen were great mere— rd Mayors were great me u—but Secretaries of State were not their SitrVAIItS. Ilut, really, he would suggest to the worthy Alderman that he must go the right way to justice: be must be content to jig en in the same road with others. It had been somewhere nbsarved, that there was no Royal road to geometry, so neither was there any Alder manic road to justice I—(A laugh). The form of the question before them was matter of little consequence. They were cell_d upon to take into consideration certain unsworn pieces :tf paps r. So far as the names of some of the witnesses were known, it appeared that they had been acccmplices in the late b arrible plat—and for the others whoxe names were not known, it was clear that they had been guilty of misprision of treason. Ile zektel then, whether they would adopt a motion of this extraordloary nature, merely became of a few rhodomon tades which had been uttared by the worthy Alderman, or by the Honourable Baronet and his man !—(Hear, hear). The effect of granting that motion would be, to give heart to all platters and dine:bets. A contrary conduct would leave the treason just in that state in which all newtons should be—by instilling into the minds of those who had embarked in them the fear of baiag be:rayed by each orhar—(The Right Hon. Cattleman at clown a hiu3 a saes from the Treasury Bench). Sir Fit:INCAS BUtiDISTI did not mean to follow all the stupid, absurd, and senseless exaggerations of the Right Hon. Gentleman who had just sat dowu—( Hear, hear).—lle did not Man to trouble the House by any observation upon what the !tight lion. Gentleman perhaps called argument. What he (Sir Francis lkirdett) objected to was, the keeping in pay a set of spies, who went up aid down the country putting in practice all their insidious and mischievous arts: lie merely wished to set himself right with the House upon this point, hut was not going to trespass on tle it time by making any further comment upon the absurd, senselits, stupid, and ridiculous observations of the Itieht !ton. Gentleman Cries (.1' Spoke, spoke J ! Mr. CANNING was rising to explain, but— Sir FRANCIS BURDETT again wee Inutile, and address kg Mr. Canning, said-= What did you mean by saying • may . ran I"—{Hear hear).— If you charge the worthy Alderman with being drunk with applause, you appear to me to Le drunk with insolence !—(Hear, hear). - alt. CANNING said, the Honourable Baronet saw and It.ard the thins that were not. With respect to his giving a certain friend of the Hots. Baronet the title of his son, he did so in allusion to some speeches be had read, which were delivered during the recess, in which he had been designated as standing in that relation to the Honourable Baronet.—(The Right lion. G.:sideman alluded, no doubt, to some part of the speeches de livered on the Hustings in Covent-garden, in the course of the late Election). Mr. BROUGHAM was anxious to clear himself from the tnisrveresentation which he had suffered, both from souse Gen tlemen on the other side of the House, as well as from his friends about hint. The lion. Member for Westminster had spoken as if he (Mr. Brougham) advocated the systematic ern- F ioymttra llis proposition was directly contrary. lie sacangly deprasated a systematic scheme of spies and informers; such a system, he thought, tended to destroy the coadence of privata life ; to break in upon the security of domestic and social intercourse. Ho only upheld the employment of spies for the purpose of prevention, - and he would sell 'min t-an that it was not only justifiable, but it was the duty of lieverninent to accept of such means to defeat conspiracy.- -Fie now anxiously desired to hear some explanation on some parts of the speeches of his llocourable and Learned Friend (the Attorney-General), and the Right lion. Gentleman (Mr. Can ning). It was stated by them that money had been supplied by certain persons to the plotters of the late Conspiracy. Among t hese was a Gentleman's servant, and, it was said, some persons of higher rank than a Gentleman's servant.--[The Areal's:Et-- Gest:me here intimated, that the expression he had used was • other quarters," not higher persons.]--Another part of the Aonourable and Learned Gentleman's speech which was offen sive to his mind, was in continuation of what Imbed just cleared up. It continued, that what be then said, be trusted, would reach to those persons who were behind, and shew them that this was not unknown to Govenweent. If the explanation just given had not been brought forth on this occasion, what would . have gone abroad to the country? That the Law Officers of the Crown, sitting amongst his Majesty's Ministers, had levelled a charge. in the dark to be sure, but against some high quarters; sad who would knoW who were meant by it? The reason why heaves of opinion that the worthy Alderman should not press the ilyase to a division on hi: motion was, that he saw a remedy else v. here, and because he saw no answer that could he given to the argon:tat that the House of Commons cught not to be called on to interfere in ordinary eases which belonged to the Courts of Law. Beira a flight lion. Gentlt man (Mr. Canning) in his place, he would tahe that opportunity of remarking on an observation oreJa by him, v. high lee (Air. Brougham) hoped, when panted oat to him, he b.: willing to give up. lu talking of the frestrstien of the late C.ito-street t lot, he had !awe 'red an eslrinn test there were many persons in that House who did not leak upon the frustration of that plot as an important object. Hsi he misunderstood the Right Hut:our:We Gentleman ? If that was the case, he hoped he would not hentete to say so. Ile had been an understood by all on his aide of the House. Mr. CANNIING immediately answered in the negative e, veld leg, that he was net conscious. of making such an observation, as would imply an approbation of a doctrine that might be as lueouienient to their successors, as to those who at present held the offices alluded to—(d' lough). • BILOUGII AM continued—The Right Honourable Gen tleman was always ready with a joke. His jokes, however, wire sometimes like a knife without a handk, which in wielding cut the hand of the user; for in this instance it was again: t himself. It arpearc d he was not willing to give credit, that Gentlemen re that side of the House did heartily rejoice in the frustration • of r.ito-street fr iot. Such a man, if be were in the H ouse, sheeld tic named, that be might Le regarded as infamous; and if he !acre out of the House,.he ehould be indicated es .7. :mak to be eltunsed—(licer, hoar)..-- The Honourable and Learneel Gen ti. man then intend into a vindication of the col:dila: ui the Worthy Alderman whose inction was before the Route, in the • pro:n 14.4 :: n = e t e. rot Wit:C:l if vat founded. .111 that the . gp v g.by Alderman hal done, mieht fairly be assumed to be a prTaration of the cast to lay before the Grand Jury ; on doing which, he was pursuing the very course pointed out by the Hight Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Caor.ing). The ATTORNEY-GENEIt AI., in explanation, said, that the statem in which had iallen from him respecting those who had givzii the conspirators money, was intended to be conveyed to thus persons, to let them see that Government was acquaiuted with them. Mr. , Aldermen WOOD then rose t• reply. Notwithstanding the ‘iol.nt attacks that had been made upon him, he should not be deterred from doing what he conceived to be his duty. The .Attorney-General was seried by very faithful and expeditious :pies; for he hail been able to tell him, that Preston had been in Isis co►tmpany within the last twenty-four hours. It was true, that rfe.itt):l had come to Guildhall—( Hear, /marl) He had canna: to state souse grievances, and, in his ma,;is•crial capacity, he was bound to attend to any application of the kind that should be made to him—(Hear, hear!) Ilis going to Thistlewood with the questions which he had thought proper to put to him, bad 'nen called in question. He had acted in this according to the dictates of his conscience. Ile thought that step necessary, i❑ order that he (Mr. Alderman Wood) might obtain what corro boration he could of the evidence he already had. To the ques :Woe whether he bad received any money from Edwards? his reply was, not now and then a pound, but " same pounds !" Ile was ready to prove from the evidence he was possessed of, that this Edwards was the sole promoter and instigator of the Cato-street Conspiracy. Trail he stated in the most solemn m..tiner. •If the Attorney. General would assure him that he would not put a stop, as he tind the power to do, to the prusecu din which he should immediately begin against this infamous individual ■ he would consent to Live up his motion directly— (Hear, hear). In that case he would pledge himself to go before the Grand Jury with thg case, and to carry it on at his own ex pinse. From the evidence he had, he could prove that an Offi cer of the Police was connected with this individual, and that they had been engaged together in several plots previous to, and altogether unconnected with the late conspiracy—(Hear, hear). Mr. CANNING said, he understood the worthy Alderman wished to withdraw the motion ; therefore he took the oppor- tonit7 of stating, Coat it: for one would not suffer the motion to be wi:htirnwn. _ _ _ Sir ROBERT WILSON now rose for the purpose of draw. Mg tie a:ter:eon of the House to a aubject, respecting which he believtd there would be but ore feeling. Ile alluded to some 'unhappy w irmth of language which passed between two of its Members in the course of the debate. lie hoped the House would unite with him in the wish, that the two Gentlemen were, the subject of these remarks, would net allow the Il wse to separate, without an assurance on their pit that their differer c.c.s would be buriA in oblivion !--(llese, hear, heor,froot oil Liles of the 11,m5..). The SPE A KEIL said, he was sure that there could be but one feeling of thankfulness to the Honourable Memb,:r who in: traduced this sub:;?ct—f flear, hear). He was equally sure, that if the two Honourable Gentlemen alluded to had made' use of any unguarded tem.:Pons in the warmth of debate, they would be ready to do justice to the House and to themselves 4 and to give that satisfaction to the lieu* which the Honourable lijem ber had just declared to be so necessary, The Light Honourable Gentleman then sat down and a short pause ensued. The SPEA KER again rose and seid, that in consequence of the Honourable Member (Sir Robert Wilson) having men tioned no names, it became hi: duty to state, that Sir Francis Burdett and Mr. Canning were the Gentlemen alluded to. The flight Honourable Gentleman then called on Sir FR A NCIS BURDETT, who observed, that without any intention to convey insult to the Right Honourable Gentle man opposite, be merely repeated an expression of his (Mr. Canning's), but with a different application. The Right Ho nourable Gentleman said, that the worthy Alderman was drunk with popularity—(Crics of " No"). Ile did not mean to say, that the Right Honourable Gentleman used the word drunk; but he certainly .rid what might be considered equal to it in force. Mr. CANNING declared, he was never more surprised in his life, than to find himself called upon as a party on that oc cation. It was easy to find peace-makers where there were no peace-breakers. He (Mr. Canning) never used the word drunk, as applied to the worthy Alderman. He did not know that any off:nce was offered him that night, nor was he conscious of giving any—(Cheers).—He knew that between him and the Ho poureble Baronet there was a great hostility in politics, but at a private individual, he was a stranger to any feeling inimical to him. Indeed, there was not an individual in that House to whom he (Mr. C..nning) would oppose himself with less hostility (because he would do so with most pain) than the Hon. Baronet. A Mimosa front under the gallery suggested the withelzame ing of the motion. Mr. CANNING would not recede, so far as he was con cerned, from the determination not to suffer this motion to be withdrawn. This was not the first time the subject was men tioned. When it was brought before the House in the former instance, an intimation had been given to the worthy Alder man, that if he pressed the motion a second time, the conse quences would be injurious to him. If after that the worthy Alderman had brought forward the motion, he must abide the consequences ; and he ( air. Canning) thought the House would be scandalously trilled with, if the motion was attempted to be withdrawn—(Cheers). Mr. Alderman WOOD declared, with warmth, that he had not the most distant notion of withdrawing his motion. It was true he proposed to withdraw it, if the condition before men— tioned was agreed to. Mr. CANNING would not consent to have the motion withdrawn, therefore conditions were out of the question. Mr. BROUGHAM intimated, that a middle course might be adopted, and the question might be disposed of without a di vision.—The question was then put, and negatived -without a division. Lord PALMERSTON brought up the Ordinary Army Es timates, which were ordered to lie on the table ; and his Lord ship gave notice that he would make a motion relative to the subject on Wednesday se'nnight. The other Orders of the day were then disposed of, and the I louse Adjourned at One o'Clock. 'f 11 E E NENG STA 11. LONDON. WEDNESDAY, MAY 10, 1820.

When he was done reading it, the Mem bers rushed forward in such numbers to inscribe their names to speak upon it, as to produce, for the mo ment, the greatest confusion. Thirty-three entered their names to sFelk for the Project, and no less than Eighty-two against it. "One hundred and fifteen set speeches on one subject ! ! What a prospect to an eager public !

It was still believed there, that a Revolution had occurred at Buenos Ayres, but no further particulars had teen received. A Gazette Extraordinary vas published on the 29th February, announcing the invasion of the Portuguese frontiers, on the side of the Rio f4rande do Sul, by General ARTIGAS, with a force rrf 2,500 men, in the month of December, and of his total defeat on the 22d, with a loss of - 1,305 killed, wounded, and taken prisoners. The loss of the Portuguese, who achieved this great victory, is stated at one killed and five wounded! This is very incredible, and throws sus picion on the whole statement - Letters have been received from the Head-quarters of General BOLIVAR, to the 6th of February. At that period he was posted about 50 miles from the Caraccas, and in front cf the Army of Moan. Lo— . is affirmed that the troops of the Patriots were nearly three times the number of those cf the Roy alists, General Nom Lto's force not exceeding from 4000 to 6000 men, of which there were only 350 Europeans . . There bad been a great deal of fighting among the detached parties of troops, in which the Independent General PA= lost his life while in tl:e act of forcing an important pass. He was immedi ately succeeded by General SounLETTr. Accounts have also been received, tin Jamaica, from Admiral BRION, dated the 17th March, which announce the occupation, by the fleet under his com mand, and the allied troops under Colonel MoNTETst (chiefly of DEVEREI/X'S Legion), of the town of Rio de la Hache, on the 13th of March. THE ARMY. Lord SIDMOUTII has intimated to the Lord Lieu tenants of the different Counties, the Militia of which are to be called out for training and exercise, that it does not appear to his Majesty's Government to be adviseable, that any of those men whose period of service will expire in the present year, should be called out for that purpose. Friday the whole of the depots stationed in Edin burgh Castle marched to Leith, to embark for Lon don, from whence they proceed to. the Isle of Wight.
