~. / ' i/ public relief, without sparing any quarter, whether Kish or low—(Chem:). Let it do its duty honestly, fairly, and impartially. I have done mine, and I re. peat, that I have not done it without great pain to myself. I implore the Houle to listen to the corn plaints out of doors—to entertain the proposition; and I entreat Honourable Gentlemen, before they de ck* against all inquiry, to consider what they owe to those who sent them here, as well as what they owe to the national tranquillity and the security of the monarchy"—(The Right Honourable Gentleman sat down amid the cheers of he Hbitse,tahic.h lasted for some time). • Mr. CANNING said, that all the points urged in the course of the debate were resolvable into a few, plain, simple, proposi tions. • The House was now called upon to do what had been 'done at the commencement of every former reign, namely, to vote a Civil List for the support of the Civil Government and llousehold of the Sovereign. Under such circumstances, the first step to betaken was to examine the precedents of good times—he meant such as wereregarded by all men with satin.. faction. Going back to the Revolution, it was found that the ,vote of the Civil List from the reign of King William to George 111. had been:parried in this House in the first instance without minute investigation ; and the only inference he wished to draw from this fact was, not that the House was bound to follow lin- plicitly the course of precedents, but that those who proposed a - deviation were bound to thaw the special circumstances that rendered it advisable. If it could be shewn that in the course of the last reign there had been no examination into these matters, or that front the lapse of time it was possible that abuses had crept in, it might form some ground for the Pre sent proposal. lf, on the other hand, it could be proved, •that although an investigation, both minute and recent, had taken place, yet that since that date there had been great exceedings on the part of the Cronin, a manifest want of economy, or an application for an increase, then some ground would perhaps be laid for a deviation from the ordinary precedent.— But when both these exceptions told in favour of the course now recommended, when an investigation had so lately been insti tuted, and no exceeding ranee the last settlement appeared by the Papeis on the table, then, in addition to the prinutfocie motive of precedent, .the House had had reasons far preferring the established course. The Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Tierney) had most truly stated, that when a sum of money had once been paid into the Privy Purse, it was too late for inquiry; but this, in fact, was only the ordinary course ever since the Privy Purse had been reesgniaed by Parliament. If his present Majesty had other funds beyond it, the same retnark would apply to his late Majesty, for he possessed the emoluments arising from the Duchies of Lancaster and Cornwall. True it was that the last was afterwards given to the Prince of Wales; yet the other he retained to the latest hour of his life. What principle of jealousy was to induce-the House to interfere with more suspicion now than it did in the former reign? The Right Honourable Gen tleman had allurld to the riches of his late Majesty, with a view to excite a notion that they had been obtained out of the surplus of the Civil _List ; but he (Mr. Canning) sincerely believed that he asserted only what was true, when he said that. the accumula tion, whatever It might be, if not totally, in by far the greatest putt, had been made since his late Majesty had ceased to have' the disposal of his own funds. Recollecting the charitable and benevolent disposition of our late re vered Sovereign, the House would not be surprised at this fact, and that during the active part of his Majesty's 3 dangerous di.pusable funds had not been sordidly amassed. With regard to the landed property of the Crown, it was such as, he was sure, nine Gentlemen out of ten, on either side of the I [owe, would not consider as any material object. All motive frr actual suspicion being wanting, a great deal had been stated as to the constitutional I..mlousy which the House ought to feel, and it was certainly impossible to prove a negative as to the smallest part of the thspixi.ible revenues of the Crown. He ap pcl'eti, huwcver, to the Right lion. Gentkman, whether, in his judgment and cot,,cience, lie thought, whatever might be the views and characters of public men. there ever was a period in the history of the country when they were so clear from taint and imputation of a pecuniary kind ?—(11cor, front Mr. Tier ney). On the ground of constitutional jealousy then it was pro. posed that the inquiry should be commenced ;—but how would the purpose of the other side be answered unkis the tivestigatian extended even to the Privy Purse, and esta bliabed guards upon its distribution that had never yet existed ?, He begged leave, however, to remind the House, that sup-, posing the beginning of a reign were a fit opportunity for com- tat:ming such an examination, there was nothing to preclude it at any future period when it might be thought necessary there were no instances of Committees of this kind at the opening of , new reigns, but several in their progress. One of these was that of Mr. Burke. in 1710 the Household had then been thoroughly etamined, its expenses arranged, and that ordetly fabric reared which had existed to the present day. He admitted that the state of the country at this moment was such as to make Minis ters very cautious upon this subject; and he allowed, that the real splendour of the Crown was not worth purchasing at the tar( : , se of discommtt. But the true question was, not se:tether we should purchase oxtraw.gant splendour at such a pm; but whether there was anything that could justifiably excite a feekng cf dissatisfaction? lie stated it, not for the purpose of argument, but as a motive that guided the deter:id- , nation of Ministers in bringing forward the Civil List, that he had not entertained a doubt that if they kept within the bound, of what was already established, they would at once do right to wards the Arerereign and justice towards his people--(//ear).— in fact, iseoitnesv not on what pretence any advice could have been founded to lower the establishment of the Civil List. He could have imagined that the difference between a vicarious and an actual Government might have called for an increase, because some heavy charges fell upon the King, which he had not to sup poet as Regent, such as the maintenance of the l'alace of Windsor., Be did not state this as a claim to future augmentation or in dewmity, but only to shew, that the more natural course, sup posing the country bad been in a state of prosperity, would have been to recommend an increase rather than a diminution.— Lu adopting the course that had been taken, and obeying impli citly the Itesolutions of Parliament four years ago, kliuisters had thought, and be hoped thought rightly, that they were pursuing a plan in no respect calculated to augment the public distress.— The Right Hun. Gentleman next said, that though trite it was, dim had been no camas beyond the Civil List, yet the sum granted was so ample as to render it almost impossible. This mode of arguing was both hazardous and ungracious, - for it was placing the Crown in this dilemma—either, by not calling for the aid of Parliament it was exciting suspicion of too great abundance, or, by calling for aid, it was obliged to put itself at the mercy of criticism and ol.servatiun—(!!cor e hear).—He remembered a story of a Prince of Conde, he believed, who bad two sots, to whom he gave two purses of money.-the one r:turned it full, the other empty ; and the father, emptying the purse ir.to the street, observed, " If you have neither the t-ite to spend, nor the generosity to give, it is fit that some. b should be benefited by your money !"—(Hear, hear). — Titus It was with the Privy Purse of the Crown, and if it made any savings, they were Armed with distrust and suspicion. He coa.cientiously believed, that it was the determination of the liustrious Persouage concerned, to live strictly within the limits prescribed by Parliament; and in asking far no more, he (Mr. Canning) did not think that any case had been made out for jealousy on the part of the House, or of discontent on the part of the Country. lie concluded by explaining, that from the sum of .E 315,000, so often mentioned by the Right Honourable Cectlerisan (Mr. Ilerney), £llO,OOO ought to be deducted, 35 1 that amount had been advanced to pay certain debts appointed by Parliament to be discharged at therm of 150,000 yearly. 11r. TIERNEY and Mr. CANNING mutually explained across the table. The farmer denied that he bad wished to examine into the mode in which the Privy Purse was expended. As he did not intend to trouble the House with his motion to. morrow, bd might be allowed to add, though nee within the strict limits of explanation, that, from the statement et the Right Honourable Gentleman, it appeared that the £llO,OOO had been paid into the Privy Purse, and very likely most properly applied in diminution of debts. It, however, still formed a part of the 485,000, of which he bad already spoken.

The Petition front the Merchants of London, against the system of Commercial Restrictions, which has so long afflicted this country, and the world generally, was pteserited last night to the House of Commons, by Mr. A. BARING ; and afterwards the . Petition from the Chamber of Commerce of Edinburgh, on the same subject. The speech of Mr. BARING was remarkable for its moderation, as well as the light , which it threw on this important question ; nor was that of -Mr. R 0811.3014 President of the Board of Trade, less destrving of notice. In fact, the evils of the present system wore admitted by both sides of the House ; but, alas ! accompanied with an alloy which threatens to render the admission perfectly nuga tory—the difficulty—the impossibility of meeting the public expenses, without a continuar.cr, for an indefi nite time, of that very system which operates to ten der the subjects daily less able - to pay the•contribu tions that are wanted. This, to us, seems to savour somewhat of insanity. A change of system is de sirable, " because it will extend our commerce, con sequeetly our Wealth, and consequently our ability to furnish the revenue necessat y for the public service;" and yet, " that desired change must be deferred, be cause we are in need of Revenue!" This is the es sence of the statements made on the Subjtct. Let us now look at the question through another medium : The Leipsic Fair has commenced, is well attended, l and, according to the• advices by the Mail or -yester day, the purchasers are numerous. Leather hat been in great demand, and the prices high. Woollen Cloths have also had a rapid sale, and Silks have had many buyers. French, Italians, Brabanters, and Eng lish, are there as sellers : the last are particularly numerous, and the extent of their dealings may be inferred from the fact that 40,000 cwt. of English Yarns and Calicoes had arrived by way of Luneburg alone, for this Fair, with a still larger quantity of hardware, japanned articles, &c. down the Elbe to Magdeburg, and so to Leipsic. Now mark the wis dom of the Gernrin Merchants and Manufacturers— you may not call it folly, for it is your own system They have addressed a Memorial to the Congress of Vienna, insisting on the necessity of calling together a General Cony) ess of the European (meaning the Continental) Merchants ; and demanding that an exclusive monopoly may be granted to them for six years, in Which short period, by the exclusion of foreign manufactures, they say that they will become sufficiently powerful to maintain their competition with all Nations : and praying particularly, that, to promote the interest of the German Manufac turers, prohibitory measures may be adopted against England ! People can talk very fluently of the injustice that would thus be made to operate against the con sumer—of the narrow-minded jealousy of our con tinental rivals—of the impossibility of preventing the better and cheaper article from finding its way to the consumer : aye, and the reasoning to is quite correct ; but how few, comparatively, allow them selves to apply the argument generally. Two and two, they will allow, do make four, as applied to Germany or France, but not so if you wish to apply your arithmetic to England A Mail from Holland arrived at a late hour last night. It . contains a Manifesto' by the Emperor of RuestA, proclaiming the divorce of his bßuher, The Archduke CONSTAIVIINE. This important document is as follows: " By the Grace of Gon, we, Alexander the First, Emperor and Autocrat of all the Amain, &c. hereby signify to our faithful eubjecti : ' 4 Our much-beloved brother, Czanvitsch and Grand Duke Constantine, has, by a request addressed to our beloved mother, the Empress Maria, and to us, drawn our attention to his family affairs, with respect to the long absence of his Consort, the Grand Duchess Anne (born Princess of Sale-Cobourg-Saalfeld), who making a journey into foreign countries, so far back as the year 1101, on account of her extreme bad health, has not only not yet returned to him, but, atcording to her own persotial de claration, cannot again return to Russia; and therefore he wishes that his marriage with her may be dissolved. " In consequence of this request, with the approbation of our beloved Mother, we have referred this affair to the consideration of the Hely Synod, which, on comparing the circumstances of the case with the laws of the Church, and on the principles of the Mk Article of Basil the Great, has decided the marriage of the Czarwltsch and Grand Doke Constantine with the Grand Duchess Anne is to he dissolved; and he is to be allowed. If b e thinks proper, to contract a new marriage. From all these 'circumstances, we have seen that every effort to maintain unimpaired the Matrimonial Union in our Imperial Family, after it has been already broken off nearly nineteen years, without my hopes of being restored, would be et so avail,. • We hale Oral ear approbation. iletortilog to the lidociPleo of the Laws et the March, to the actual caseation of the abose-comitiomid declaim of the Hair Spoil, atid command it to be arerrwhore rectignised In its full extent.

The Paris Papers of Friday and Saturday arrived this forenoon. _ -a:a-al. gives a short sketch of the pm ceedings of the Chamber of Deputies on the discus sion, in Secret Committee, of M. Mar:veils proposi tion, for an Address to the- KING on the State of the Nation ; from which it appears, that though the pro-. position wis rejected, the minority was not soinsig nificant as the Ministerial Journals pretend. Sixty Members, at least, voted for taking it into consider ation, and many others took no part in the delibera tion. The argument, it seems, on which the Minis ters insisted most, was, that the proposed Address would be an infringement on the Royal prerogative. On Friday, the PRSSIDENT announced to the Chamber that the Reporter (M. Lana), appohited by the Committee on the Election Project of Law, was ready to make his Report; A short but keen de bate ensued, as to whether the hearing of the Report lihould take place next day, or be postponed till after "the Budget of Expenditure has passed the Chamber? It was :finally decided, by a large majority, that M. Lam should make his Report on Saturday. The following are•the latest accounts, received at Paris, from Sp a n : “ MADRID, APRIL 44. " The King has recalled the decision of the 6th of this month against-the Joscphines. Yesterday there appeared a Royal Deciee, by which his Majesty, with the concurrence of the Provisional Junta, gives them liberty to return to their homes. Orders have been sent to the Spanish Consul at Bayonne to grant passports to all the refugees. 6 , Mina has received a reprimand from the Junta, for having attempted to raise troops in Navarre, and for having exacted some arbitrary contributions. It is not said whether he.will be obliged to refund the first impost of 100,000 francs, which he has already received ; as to the second, all the Municipalities, with that of Pampeluna at their head, have refused to pay it. Mina has lost all his popularity. The state of affairs of Spain is said to have ex cited much interest in Portugal. Proclamations are even said to be circulated, dated from Lisbon and Oporto, exhorting the Portuguese to reflect seriously on their situation. It is, in fact, a difficult problem to solve—Whether this part of the European Conti nent is a Colony of England or of the Brazils?
