With regard to the A meokan Government, he thought itwi at l eas t oOct to be satisfied with this ar tangement ; and he had no doubt that they would b e s o in re aiity, nor attempt now to impose a ny terms ine,,nsisient wilt their former declarations, or the 'mono!' of England • ssFRANC IS BURDETT concurred in the gene ral ~pinion of the wisdom which the Prince Regent's Govern ment had displayed on the prevent occasion. Bo &semis one point to which he wished again to e jl t heir at:eat:oil, because it was one Which, per ms, in,re th.o any other was likely to prevent or interr upt harnioily with America—he meant the im aroirsent of American seamen. The o th er day he l inient . os i,t the impresstrint of one anis, who, h e eodeistood, was really an American.searnan, and he s hould he glad to know whether his case had been enquired into ? • hip, CUU4BOURN• said,. that his Honourable F r i en d (tir. eviler) being absent, he could not give y ans-wer to the question. * • • ~I,ord,CAsTI.BREAGIi wished tosobserve k that i n t he present stage of the negociations.witleAmt.ric; t , t h e most active steps had been taken,• tp l pp; *n end to this source of misundet standing. Out tAinibassa -40 had asked a list of all persons in ottrnivl e :who were ! opposed to be American seame n, 'and when t wist was procured,,theit.cases would he forthwith inquired into. . • • n Mr. PONSON.Br entertained very little doubt, that the order now issued would be perfectly sada lattery to Amerbiai but should she. think proper to rise in her demands to what was unreasonable and ' unjust, no man would be more iorward than himself • to support the rights and interests of this conntii.— Hear, hear.) 'Mr. WHITBREAD had no question that this steasure, now so happily - adopted, would prevent the breaking out of hostilities with America. He would now only observe, Lila one could not contemplate the bappiness and delight which its prospect had diffused among the manufacturing - districts of the country. About congratulating the House and the country on the occasion; and they would soon have the satis faction of going to their several homes, and every where finding the people employed, industrious and satisfied.—(Hear, hear.) —I t was unnecessary for him to pass any eulogy on the manner in which his Ho nourable Friend had conducted himself through the whole of the inquiry; that conduct had been witness ed by the House itself. He hoped that concord with America would be speedily restored ; and that toge ther with it, in the course of a very few months, an at tempt would be made by Ministers to restore peace with France, which could not fail to be attended with the greatest blessings to the country, and which he believed had hardly yet been gone about in the spirit of conciliation, in any instance. The Order of the Day for the Call of the House tin Thurso:ly was then discharged. IRISH MBEs. . ldr. PARNELL rose to bring forward his motion on this subject, whish, he said, the mole •he looked boa, the more he was convinced there wanted some regulalion in it. As the s 1 stem was at present, it was neither satisfactory to the Clergy nor the Laity. The Right Gentleman opposite _tbdr. kolc) bail declared his opinion that some regtolatiaia was ne cessary. Mr. •Petceval thought so, and firepaiid a Bill for that purpose, but abandoned *it. afterveßas, from an ovinion that the measure would not be equal to its object. Lord Rechsdale and Mr. Pitt had also been of the same opinion ; and so hart the Noble Lord oppcsitelCastlereagh), who, in his speech on the sub ject, Previous to the Union, had declared as his opi nion that the object would be more likely.tcobeobtained by a Uri eed Parliament. These several opinions, he thought,fulls authorised him in bringing forward the subject, ThcHin. Gentleman then proceeded to take a swim of the causes which rendered a reform in the Tytbe osttm of Ireland necessary ; and,* after ad *ming lathe various evils of the present system, sug gaud to the .House whether, instead of the Tytbe __ . . law paid, an acreable tax of Is. per acre > which would produce a greater sum than was now raised for the Clergy, should be laid CAI eTery acre of land cultiva. ted ; or, if this were objected to, he would r ... i nsse that ascertain quantity of land should be assigned to the Clergy as an equivalent for Tythes. He con cluded by moving, that the House would, early in the next Session of Parliament, take into consideration the state of the Tythes in Ireland, with a view to ameliorate the condition of the lower orders of the people. Mr. W. POLE did not think the propositions of his Hon. Friend could be adopted ; the right of the Clergy was one tenth, but from investigation, it ap. Feared they clid not receive more than one twentieth, and in some instances, one thirtieth. His Hon. Friend's remuneration to the Clergy was t 8 proteed upon a valuation of livings ; then that valuation Mint go on the Clergyman's right, and not on what he actually rece i ve d . The plan of an acrea bl e tat. woiald also .he unjust to the farmer : since, by that acre of the burst wheat would pay no more chat ,tin acre of the . worst oats ; and pasture land, which ;by the law, as it at present stood, was tytharee, world be tendered liable. Sir J. NEWPORT entered generally into .4 iih fence of the positions laid down by Mr. Parnell; and contended that an alteration in the Tythe system of helandwas necessary tip the salvation of that country. Lord CASTLEREAGH entered his protest against the principles of legislation laid down by'-the Right Hon. Baronet. He maintained that the tiro- Per mode of applying relief in any case wheie grie )rance was stated, was for the Hon. Member who fight it under the consideration of Parliamentt to paint out a remedy. The Noble Lord deprecated the prat.ce of stating insulated acts of what .Was deemed oppression, as cruel to the individual, and lejurious to the public interest. The Right Hon. Baronet would have done his duty better if he Had brought the particular laws within the view of 'the House, and submitted a motion fur the repeal of those laws. He denied that any particular pledge I hadt een g i ven by Man on the anhject. He ad mitte'd . thatevils ce rta i n l y cto exist, but he could not suffer,' the pro2erty of the church to be considered in an-in- 1 fertor light to any Other species of property hold under the crown. Mr. WILliERFOltek was astonished at the dif. 6 culty of obtaining information on the subject of *the 'Jythes in Ireland; but a was evident, that-in many - parts of that country the peasantry were much op pressed. He should support the motion. • Mr. SMITH, and Mr. M. FITZGERALD said a few words in support of the motion.—Alter some further conversation, the House divided—For the mntion, 36—Against it, 39—Majority against the motion, 3. IRISH EIWCATInN. Sir J. NEWPORT brought forward his promised motion on this subject. It was, that the House should, by a resolution, pledge itself that early in next Session of Parliament they should take the shb jact of the state .of Education in Ireland into consi deration. After some conversation this question was negatived without a division. The other. Orders of the Day being disposed of, the House at Half-past Twe lye adjourned. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. • WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21., JOHN TUE BATTU r.—H6Jicky4t the Stock Exchange. * Scarcely have we had breathing time, after our 10Cuitation at the aperoaching repeal of all restric tions on our fellow-countrymen on account of reli gious differences, when we are called upon to con gratulate the commercial world upon a revolution in . the Councils of the State, which most materially streets their interests. The revocation of the Orders in Council has been formally announced in the Gazette, and the measure is, as it ought to be, full, free, and unconditional. The Americans themselves, by a clause in their Non-Intercourse Act, (which we have already pointed out to our Readers), have amply provided for the restoration of a perfect une derstanding between the two countries, immediately on the publication of our departure from the Orders in Council. An unusual bustle prevailed yesterday among our merchants in the city, when the joyful intelligence reached them that the revocation was un conditional : and we have reason to believe, that two millions and a half of money belonging to Americans, and which has been for many months accumulating in this country, will be expended in the course of this day in the purchase of British Goods. That the manufacturing interestf—nay, that almost every in dividual in the united Empire, who earns his bread by honest industry,' will be benefited by the demand thus excited for British Goods, and by this influx of money into our markets, cannot be for a moment doubted ; and that the joy and satisfaction conse quent upon this cheerful prospect may be of long duration, is our most earnest"wish. • Jam saris teals Mei& atque graudinis dernisit Pater ! If any thing could add to the sensations of delight which we feel in conveying this intelligence to our Readers, it would be an assurance from cur brethren ,in America, that their eyes were averted from all sitbserviincy to the interests and ambition of France, and twined in future with the beams of peace and fraternity towards .Great Britain, th:oughout her awful contest for the liberties of the world ! That such a consummation is at hand, we have every reason to believe, for by the letters and papers received in town this morning from America to the 29. d ult. we learn that the rederalists were every where successful in their elections, notwithstanding the hostile attitude assumed by Mr. MAnvos and his partizans. There is no chance, it would appear, of that Gentleman's re-election as President. The above intelligence was brought by the Holkar, arriv ed at Liverpoal in 19 days from New-York. The interest of the other articles of intelligence brought by this vessel is entirely superseded by our revocation of the Orders in Council: While we most cordially unite with those who have complimented Ministers in the House of Corn mons, on this additional instance of their candid and manly compliance with the public voice, we cannot but regret that any act should have occurred which must be viewed in a different light by the country. ' The nation has been taxed to pay Mrs. PERCEVAL'S pension of £3OOO a year, and £30,000 in ready money. Night not this- money have been saved to the nation by conferring on Mrs. PERCEVAL'S son the lucrative sinecure of the Chancellorship of the Duchy Of Lancaster, which has just been conferred on Mr. BRAGGE BATHURST ? Thursday se'nnight four Gentlemen, who were prisoners in France, effected their escape from Mor his in an open boat, and were picked up by the Friendship, Captain LE Strewn, between the Islands of , Jersey and Guernsey. One of these Gentlemen is a I Planter of Nevis, another a Barrister of the same place, and the two others the Master 'and Mate of the Ca- I lista of London, which was retalen three years ago, 'by Mr. Sr. Cnoix, of Jersey, she having lost her way amcng the rocks of that island. They report, that " great disturbances exist in every part of France, 1 and that in Brittanny bread had suddenly risen from four to fifteen sous per pound ; that the farmers were' afraid to bring any corn to mar ket ; that the little which was brought to Morlaix on the sth inst. caused the mob to rise, who took posses. ( sion and destroyed the whole, nor could the riot be i appeared till the military were called in ; and that by ( order of BONAPARTE heavy -contributions are now .1 raising in every part of his empire, and such as cannot t pay on detnand, have some of their household furni -1 tare seized and sold for * that purpose ; which order 1 has occasioned many.proprietors to hide their best, in I order to save it, and many good houses now appear nearly unfurnished—even the fishing•stnacks ,are watched by armed soldiers, and half the produce oil eir labour, on their rrival, is taken from ths m, to be shared equ Illy between'the Government and the Cu4toni-house and their emissaries—distress is at its height in every.. part." They also state, that NAN). LkON, bef , re leaving France to go to the North had, in order, as was believed, to appeAse the clamours of the people, intimated that his journey would be pro ductive of a general peace before next January. It is said that Government h.tve determined on taking pcssession of the Island of Groa, off L'Orient, as a very desirable station for cur vessels, and admi rably situated for the annoyance of the enemy. In deed, we areluclined to believe that it was for th e • capture of Gra o that the four sail of the line, men tioned in our Plymouth-Dock letter, sailed from that port on Monday last. If so, the island is probably ere this time in our possession. It is reported that Ministers are in possession autheatic copies of certain letters which recently passed between BEnNisnorre and BONAPARTE. They are said to afford convincing proofs of unshaken allegiance on the part of the former to the country which has adopted him as Sovereign, and to hold out prospects of Sweden joining Great Britain and Russia in the GA:at Cause of curbing the power of France. We have no further information to communicate to our readers this day on the subject of the reported capture of four sail of the line in the Mediterranean, which we mentioned in a second Edition yesterday. The statement is doubtful in many respects. Yesterday the QUEEN, and Princesses ELIZABETH and NTArts, took an airing in her Majesty's barouch and four to Dropmore. Saturday the Duke of CUMBERLAND and a nume rous party dined with the PRINCE RECENT. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE, and Princesses AUGUSTA, SOPHIA, and CHARLOTTE of WALES, rode on horse back at Windsor, on Saturday, accompanied by Lady ROSSLYN, General GARTH, Colonel TAYLOR. &c. Yesterday, at two o'clock, his Royal Highness the Pnixce REGEN r held a Privy Council at Carlton House, which was attended by the Lord President of the Council, the Lord Privy Seal, the First Lord of the Treasury, the Master General of the Ord. nance, the Secretaries of State for the Foreign and War Departrrients, and the President of tl.e Board of Controul. The Earl of BUCKINGIIASISIIIRE had an audience of the Nivea REGENT, and resigned the seals of the office of Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. Mr. BItAOGE BATHURST had an audience of his R , n•,►L. lIIGHSILSS, when he wis pleased to - appoint the Right Hon.

The Honourable Mrs. WEST'S party, in Upper' Grosvenor-street, on Monday evening, was very nu merously attended ; the gtrden was brilliantly illu minated, and a Chinese pavilion erected; in which was placed a most excellent band of music. Waltzes were danced in the suit of apartments leading to the garden, and kept up to a late hour.

Tilt UPON LZATRZP.—tt Is thought the CRANCPT.LOR Or thd ElefleQUlta .must ultimately abandon this Tax, as it is really a bad one, and such it ha; always been considered by our most t able Financiers.—lst. Leather tanned in Ireland is to be Taxed ' only, as it is now, about three farthings per pound ; therefore the English tanner will not be able is etre the price for the raw material, in his own market, that can be afforded by the iri.h manufasturers, which from the present duty is now in c'mte degree the case, and should Ireland have her rough Leather se much the cheaper than it could be afforded by the kngliah tannner, she would, from the low price of h-r labour. ar= ford all manufacturers of leather. cheaper in every pan of the world than they could be afforded by the manufactures in Greet Thastvould this grist staple manufacture of rlti.country, which gives employment top many thousands, be greatly Injured, andthe object of the tax frustrated. Idly, The effect of this tat would be very simitan to I high tea upon corn. It would e ff ec t the tanner in the same manner as a tae upon cam would effect the Farmer, by the great loss he would sustain from his Stock on hand, and it would affect the Landed Interest by lowering the price 'of Bark. It would al o tat a 'l'ax upon corn, pre** hardest on the- labouring poor, as the shoes they from necessity wear, notwithstanding they are of the worst worktnansh'p, and are male of the cheapest and inferior parts of the hid,. anal skint; ye as they are double the weight of those worn by tlie ticb, they would pay double the tax.
