He was sorry that the Noble Ford Vid not considered the subject snore fully; he hoped that be would'yyt do so, and that if be 'Hill tglij it necessary to bring forward the resolptions, they might be VEO — stgist fol'assixd in insode unexceptionable shape. He would re peat in conclusion, that on the part either of himself' or of his Right Hot:. Friends, there existed no hostility to the principle or object of the resolutions • and that he resisted them solely upon the ground that they were calculated to produce great practical inconvenitnce, without attaining the object they bad in view. Mr. BATLEY expressed his conviction that the Corn mon and Statute Law afforded ample means of repres sing the crime of bribery. There was one effect which he anticipated from these resolutions, which was one of extreme hardship upon individuals. He meant Gentle men having their spontaneous acts of charity and generosity characterized as acts of bribery, and thus brouglq within the scope of the resolutions. He ap pealed to his Hon. and Learned Friend, if he might be permitted to call him so, whether Members representing large places, some of whose constituents were often in a state of distress, and kad a claim upon their beuevolent assistance—be ventured to address hioiself to the Hon. and Learned Gentleman from whom he had received the greatest kindness and attention, when at the outset of life he was a Member of the Northern Circuit. Col.. DAVIES regretted that the Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Wynn) had placed himself in opposi tion to the motion, because it shewed what would be the fate of it; but if ever . there was a time when it be came the House to endeavour to infuse a spirit into the rel. resentation, it was the present. He must agree with the Noble Lord in what he'said respecting the late Election. There never had been a period where more gross and flagrant corruption was displayed. The charity which the Right Hon. Gentleman had com mented upon was of a very suspicious nature; it was a chariot productive of benefit to alehouses rather than to the families of the persons receiving it. He (Colonel Davies) had hoped that the resolution of the last Par liament would have had some effect upon the Electois. He could not say much in favour of that Parliament ; it had many sins to answer for ; but there was virtue even in a death-bed repentance. The Right Hon. Gentleman had said that the House was competent at all times to take cognizance of corruption at Elec tions; but did he remember the case of a Peer inter fering in an Election, when the Petition was rejected, because the period for receiving Petitions 'had elapsed? The object of the petitioners who came to the House was to eject a Member, not to serve the country ; and if they contrived to prove one or two instances of bribery, it was enough for them, though the petitioners them selves might be equally guilty—(Hear). The only mode of altering a system notoriously bad, was for the Noise to take up the subject as the Noble Lord pro posed. The Right Honourable Gentleman might, if he pleased, add other resolutions to those before the House, obliging ti.e parties to enter into tecognizances. Under the present system, whatever might be the principles and the purity of Candidates at an Election, they must, either by themselves or their friends, be guilty of an infraction of the law. He knew that there were a bun dled places in the kingdom where it was the practice for ti e electors to hunt out persons to b. come Candi dates; and if their agents were clever fellows, they were sure of success. Ile recommended to the Right Hun. Gentleman to add such other resolutions as he deemed necessary to remedy Ibr clews of those before the House, and he was convinced his Honourable Friends would offer no opposition to them. Mt. Secretary PEEL observed, that the House was caled upon to affirm or to reject resolutions which went to create a new offence, and a new mode of trial. The end might be a very proper one; but it would be in finitely better that this new jurisdiction should be sanctioned by a Bill, rather than by a resolution of the Hi use of Commons--(Hear). Suck a mode of pro ceeding would admit of consideration and discussion in thy different stages, whereby errors might be corrected and improvements introduced. But the House were called upon to•night by the Noble Lord to adopt at once resolutions on a subject of infinite importance.— Did not the Noble Lord thi,k it a serious matter, that a Committee of the House should be empowered to administer an oath ?—(Hear). Was it not a serious matter, that a common informer might keep in his pocket, for 17 months and '2B days, a petition affecting the interests of individual and of corporate bodies (hear)? that at the end of seventeen months he might, if he pleased, peter his charge against a cot potation or an individual to the House, without expense to himself, and without. one word being inserted in the resolutions as to a penalty in case of vexatious or malicious charges ?—(fienr, hear, hear) lie (Mr. Peel) eas Sur prised to hear the Honourable Member, who spoke last, assert, that them had been more gross bribery during the last election than at any former pet iod ; and this in the Lice of the resolutions—(Hear, hear). The fact proved, then, the insufficiency of the resolutions, al• though the Honourable Member considered it as a sufficient reason for adopting them—(Hear). He (Mr. Peel) owned that he was not contending against the principle of the Noble Lord ; he repeated what he had stated last Session, that this measure should be intro duced by Bill, and the nature and the extent of this new jurisdiction should be carefully determined. The House should have the opportunity of maturely deliberating upon a subject so seriously affecting the privileges of Parliament. He would not deny that it might be right vat t :e law should be altered to meet cases of corrup lion, when it might be evaded by the lapse of time; but it should be done by Bill. The period likewise might be six weeks, or even a fortnight, not eighteen months—(hear). He (Mr. Peel) merely threw out these observations, to strew that he was nut hostile to the principle of the resolutions ; but he protested against a party being ',emitted to petition without giving security that he should be indemnified, and that lie need only allege general bribery: he protested against the House being called upon to-night to say by, what juris diction the object should be attained : he protested against ibch precipitate and premature legislation. Ile must, therefore, oppose, not the ; risiciple, but the expediency of the resolutions—(Hear). Mr. SCA RLETT doubted whether the resolutions of the Noble Lord would meet all the objects he had in view, and felt that there was some weight in the argu ments urged on the other side of the House; though the Right Hun. Gentleman (Mr. Peel) had taken rather a partial view of the question. It had been urged by the lion. Member under the gallery (Mt. Batley), that the existing lAN'S were sufficient for punishing bribery, polluted they were properly executed. The resolutions art the llouie enabled them to do it, if they were exerted. The lei, ht Hun. Gentleman had dwelt upon the long per iod OUI ing winch a common informer might keep petition in Ina pocket; but it was in the discretion of the House, it such a case occurred, to deal with it in a proper manner, and reject the petition altizether.— Ailuttei aiguirieut of the Hight Hon. Gentleman was just, and spewed die imarmity of the iesolutione, 'tame ly, that the party pettlinstiti,, ° incurred no peril. Ile (Mr. Scarlett) thcaigiit that dila was a serious defect, and that it cauld nut be remedied by a resowh • in of the House.—(lhar, hear) This House could riot ilifilLt penalty; it could not even inflict costs upon th e 1;4,4. This power did not belong to a separate branch of the legislature. Moreover, if the.detect were attempted to be supplied by a Bill, was the Muse sure that the other Hod* would pass it ? This House might adopt it ; but this House dependeflrin soino4neasure, lot the pure exercise of its functions, upon the other House, and might propose for that object what that House would not adopt. He could not, therefore, approve of the resolutions whilst no penalty attached to a person presenting a malicious petition; and this House could' not provide a penalty, or even require a iecognivince though such an object might be accomplished. The power of the House, however, depended upon its free dom from reproach, and it was their interest that man kind should know that the House would proceed by some certain method to reach corrupt practices. At present; after the lapse of 1+ days, there was no method of touching a case of bribery and corruption. He was afraid, if a law was introduced to regulate this subject, even to meet a pat ticular case, such as the disfranchise. ment of a Borough for bribery, he was afraid, from past experience, that there might be a difficulty in ob taining the concurrence of the other House. He did not mean to say that the House would not punish cases cf gross corruption; but he referred to general cases.— He must state that he did not feel quite satisfied with the Noble Lord's resolutions; but his chief object in rising was to recommend that some certain rules should be laid down * upon this important subject. He felt that there Was some force in the objections urged against the resolutions; but if his Noble Friend would withdraw them (hear, hear), they might be modified so as to mtet with general concurrence. (Hear, hear.) — Hut if he persisted in pressing them, he (Mr. Scarlett) would feel some difficulty in opposing them, not because he entirely approved of them, but because he considered them as a step towards a very desirable object. (Hear, hear.) Cries of withdraw, withdraw.) Mr. PALLMER (Member for Surrey), could not but express his gratitude to the Noble Lord with whom these resolutions originated last Session, as well as to the Noble Lord who now brought them forward. He rejoiced to see the aristocracy of the country stepping forth to advocate the rights and privileges of the people; but much as he felt indebted to the Noble Lords, his humble opinion was, that the real, effective, and com plete removal of the obstructions which impeded the tree exercise of the elective franchise could only be ef fected by the interference of a wise and liberal admi nistration ; and he hoped to see the day, when, instead of objections being brought forward, as on the present occasion, to such measures, his Majesty's Ministers would take into consideration the inconveniences that do obstruct the exercise of the elective franchise, and give to such a measure the - weight that an administra tion alone could give. Whilst employed on measures giving freedom to conscience and to commerce, it was not beneath them to give freedom to the Constitution— ( Hear). There was no man he would look to with snore confidence, with this view, than the Right Hon. Gent. (Mr. Peel), who had so distinguished himself by his attention to the amelioration of the Criminal Law. The country expected it from him. He hoped that in his judicious hands, the Constitution might be restored to its origin 1 purity, and be freed from all impediments. He hoped that the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Wynn), who bad adverted to the legislative measures .of the Grenvilles on this subject, would not forget that the chief praise of the Grenvilles was their efforts to pre serve the freedom of election. He hoped that the pre sent Government would imitate their example, and do all In their power to secure to the country an unobstructed freedom of election —(The Hon. Member sat down amidst loud cheers). Lord ALTHORP observed, that if the present reso lutions were to be embodied in a bill, there was not the slightest chance of its passing the other House; the only hope of adopting the present rules was by a resolution of the House. The most material objection which had been urged against the resolutions, was founded upon the form which it gave of-presenting petitions without expense. This was the unavoidable consequence of founding the measure upon resolutions, and not upon a bill. But he did not think, that, practically, any such effects Would result as were suggested, and if they oc curred, it was easy to find a remedy for such a practical evil, and it would be more likely to be carried through Parliament. However, as it seemed to be the general wish of the House that the resolutions in their present state should he withdrawn, he would, with the consent of tho House, with. draw them.—The motion was then, by leap. withdrawn. ELECTION OS DR. SOOTHES. The SPEAKER informed the House, that he had received a letter from Dr. R. Southey, one of the Mem bers returned to serve in the present Parliament, which he would read to the House. Sir—l take the earliest opportunity of informing you, that while absent on the Continent I have been, without my knowledge, Awed to serve in Parliament for the borough of Downton. It now be comes my duty to say that I am not qualified to take a seat there, inasmuch as I am not possessed of ibis estate required by the Statute of the 9th of Queen Anne. (Signed) It. SOUTHEY. Owing to the confusion created by a number of Members leaving the House, we did not hear what course was adopted with regard to this letter. We believe it was ordered to be recorded in the Journals. Y IMPORT OF VIII ADDRISS. Mr. LJDDILL, Mr. Wm, and two other Members appeared at the bar with the Report of the Address. It was brought up, and read a first and lie cocci time. On the question that it be agreed to, Mr. WESTERN rose to move an Amendment. The Hon. Gentleman contended, that the price of grain at this time had nothing to do with the commercial and manufacturing distress, and advocated a persevering inquiry into the causes of that distress, as the only effectual means of preventing its recurrence. He should not at present investigate those causes himself, but pro ceed to move, as an Amendment, that a passage should be added (which the Hun. Gentleman here read to the House), expressing the conviction of the House that the agriculturist, and other labouring classes of his Majesty's subjects were involved in the greatest distress, owing to the heavy burti,ens which were imposed on them, and stating their intention of instituting some measure which should restore them to the state of prosperity, which they had enjoyed previous to 1815. He then moved— " Your Majesty's faithful Commons feel it their duty to repre sent te your Majesty, and at the same time to express their deep re gret, that the agricultural classes, though not angering in the degree they did a few years ago, particularly in the year 1822, are yet in a state of severe pressure, from the heavy burdens to which they are exposed. They will endeavour to trace the causes which have led to the dreadful alternations of prosperity and adversity which all the industrious classes have experienced since the termination of the war in the year 181.5, and they trust they shall discover the means of restoring the agriculture, commerce, and manufactures of the coo.). try to the same condition sit progressive improvement in which they were steadily advancing antecedent to that period." bdr.LESTEIt seconded the Amendment. He thought it a gross delusion to suppose that a repeal of the Corn Laws would relieve all the distresses which existed among the manufacturing classes. It would be bettei for the latter to have wages proportioned to a high than to a low price of corn, as the latter would leave. him nu command of other al Odes. There was, in fact, no way of effecting relief, but by . a reduction of taxation. The Amendment having been put from the Chair, Sir J. SEBRIIiII said ; that he should give it his opposition, becausehe thought this was not the time for agitating the subjem. The King's Speech had been ob jected to as a 4 , milk and water" document ; but, for his own part, he liked it the better for being open to such a charge. He did not think the King's Speech ought to embrace topics upon which great difference of opinion was likely to prevaiLeHe would only state, with regard to the proposed Amendment, that no man was a greeter friend to the agricultural interest than himself. It was natural that he should be so, having himself an interest is common with that class ; and his greatest difficulty would be to divest himself of all prejudiced and inter ested feeling whenever the question came regularly for their decision. He opposed the proposition of his Hon. Friend, because he thought it at the present moment W arned and ill-judged. He repeated, that he considered the grotinds of the criticism of the Hon. and Learned Member for Winchehea upon the King's Speech, to be its great merit. Mr. WESTERN said he should not take the sense of the House upon the Question, but he wished to have the sentiments contained in the Amendment placed upon the Journals. The Amendment was then negatived, and the Address ordered to be presented in the usual form. ORDIIII3 IN COUNCIL. Pdr- HUSKISSON presented Copies of the Orders in Council, 'of his Majesty's Government of the IA September, 1826, for ad mitting into the ports of the United Kingdom certain sorts of foreign grain. The Right Hon. Gentleman moved that the papers be printed, and that on Friday next the House should resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House, to consider of the same.— LIST OF THE MINORITY OF TWENTY-FOUR WHO VOTED FOR Mr. HUME'S AMENDMENT.

Accounts from Havre state, that the Milton is arrived there in eighteen days from the United States, which she left on the 28th of October, four days later than 'received in London. The Casilda frigate, belonging to Admiral LABORDIeS squadron, had arrived at Jamaica on the 6th of October, a. month after LABoaneleft Havannah. No information was received there of the 74 ship of the line, on which the Admiral was on board. Three of the frigates had arrived at the Havannah very much damaged. It was calculated that the damage caused by the tempest of the 6th September s rill sot be less thin two million of dollars. We take the following article from the Allgenteine Zeitung, of the 16th November, received this morning : FROM THE RHINE, Novrantaa v. The note , of the Dutch Government, respecting the Navigation of the Rhine, is called in several German Journals, a document of the highest importance to Germany. But in truth it is not important to either German navigation or German cotiunerce, becaine the greatest obstacle to both remains unchanged. It is, however, so far interesting, as it shews that the steps hitherto taken by Austria, England, Russia, and Prus sia, to induce the Netherlands to execute the Vienna convention, are fruitless ; and that the Netherlands Go vernment have sought a new excuse,-to make it be be lieved that, dating from the Ist of April next year, it will carry into effect the Vienna convention, for the navigation of the Rhine. The only concessions ate, that the Leck, which is choked with sand, is to be considered as the Dutch Rhine ; that our ships may ' navigate it unmoltstel , that no more duties shall be facade, than un the other parts of the 'Wine; and that the prohibitions of transit shall be abolished. The bis is impeding the navigation, for two thirds of the watet carried down by the Rhine into Holland, are received into the Waal, and a fourth of the remaining third by the Yssel. We may judge therefore, how much -water remains for the free Dutch Rhine; and it was, there fore. proposed, at the Vienna Congrese, that br4 the Waal and the Leck should be considered as the Dutch Rhine. The second has been long since promised by the Dutch Government to the Commissiooers at sl.4yence, and is, in fact, no more than the cessation of the higher duties illegally levied in Holland. The la , t point, allow. ing the free transit, removes the prohibitions existing in favour of the Dutch trade, and permits the free trade which the German shippers may carry on with each ;other on the Dutch Rhine, for they may henceforward go without difficulty, as far as the sea. But there they stick fast as in a sack, till they have paid the export duty fixed by Holland at its own pleasure, and which may be so high oa some goods as to be equivalent to a prol.i bition. If they will not do this, they will be at liberty to go home again unless they think it best, th4t Vey may not have made their voyage in vain, to sell their goods to the Dutch for the small price which the latte r shall please to give. This is new freedom of the Navi gation of the Rhine to the sea. . • The Dutch Statesmen, on the other hand, wish thei r ships to navigate the whole Rhine free horn all staples, tobring.colonial produce to the bosom of every German state, and to take back their produce for the Dutch trit.'e beyond the sea. A most promising concession, truly ! We have also received, by a private channel, the same Paper, dated a day later ; but its contents are of co consequence. Two sons of the King of PRUSSIA are to be betrothed to Netherland and Weimar Princesses,. There was a great fire at Lyons on the 7th ; and three other extensive conflagrations have occurred at Berlin One of them, and the largest, occurred at a baker's shop opposite the Royal Castle. According to the Meuse SA, at Manheim, Mr. GAN IA 117, of 31i.r. tis, has discovered a Comet on the 28th October, in the cons:ell..tion Argo, under 2191, the greatest length 56 florally deviation.

A letter from Madrid in the Journal des Debuts, asserts that our Minister at t ,e Spa , Gish Court, the Hon. Mr. LAMB, having ascer tairrerftliat arms were purchased and preparations made in secret to undertake a coup-de main against Portugal, had i fr. cially declared, that any armed attempt upon the Pot • tugnese territory, whether effected by Spanish troops or by Portuguese refugees, should be considere.l by Eng land as a declaration of war on the part of Spain. PROK TUE rrou.a. RIO JANEIRO, August 3. (OFFICIAIICHAMBER OF bEnn TORS.) On Wednesday, the 2d, at ten o'clock in the morning, 39 Sena tors, and 68 Deputies, met in the Senate Chamber. The President having pronounced s discdurse, in which he explained the motives of this general meeting, and the necessity of it, as pointed out by the Correctional Code, desired to know of the Assembly, whether they approved of drawing up a proses-eierba/ of the solemn act of rt:cogni. tion of the Imperial Prince s as successor to the Throsm ? Ti•i• approval being unanimously given, the Act was read, and signed, in duplicate, by the Presideat,and all the Senators and Deputies present. LTI.e Act which follows, after stating that the Chambers had met, as above described, sets forth the solemn recognition of &taw Don PABLO of Akantara, &c. &c. (his Highness has thirteen names), Prince Imperial, eldest lawful son of the Emperor Don PEDRO I. ban 2d October, 1825, u successor of his august father to the Throne and Empire of Brazil, with all the rights and prerogatives which, in terms of the Constitutional Charter, belong thereto.l The deputation of the General Assembly of the Senators and De puties, says the Diario Purninerser, which carried this document to his Imperial Massuir, was most graciously received. Though the sitting or the House of Commons last night was but short, 'still a considerable variety of topics presented themselves to its consideration. Lord Atvuoar moved the re newal of the Resolutions proposed last Session by Lord JOHN &s -ant, and passed by a majority of axe, relative to Bribery at Elec tions ; which, after some apnversation Ms Lordship consented to withdraw.—The Report on the Address to his MAJUTY having been brought up, Mr. Warsaw lamented that neither the Yutc's Speech nor the Address adverted to the distress felt in a less, bet still in a considerable degree by the Agricultural as well as the Manufacturing classes. In order to repair the omission, he should move an Amendment, expressive of regret at the existence of that distress, and proposing to examine the causes which had led to the dreadful alternatives of prosperity and adversity, which all the industrious classes had experienced since the termination of the late war." This Amendment was seconded by Mr. Lerma, and op posed by Sir J. SILDRIGHT, on the ground that it was not the time for agitating the subject ; and it was negatived without a division. As the I louse was about to rise, Mr. Huss ALISON presented copies of the Orders in Council for opening the ports to the importation of certain sorts of grain; and moved that the [louse should resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House to consider the subject on Friday next. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The fluctuation this morning in Consols has been about a per per cent. In the earlier part of the morning they were done at 831 for the Account, since which the market has become very heavy ; and they may be quoted at present at 83 for this Account, and fur next Account 83i, with little doing: although an Expt ess has /I rived from Paris, with the Etoile of yesterday. which brings the French 3 per Cents. 72f. and the 5 per Cents. 100 f. and after 'Change they were done at 721. 75c.
