(I/ear, hear.) This r al argument always resorted to when others f. lei.. but was too ridiculous to make any implession • ff • ti.e. Mr. I'ONSONBY felt it necessary to comment fn the !perch ot the Right Honourable a:nth-mai, j tire grezi.test circumspecti , in, because he wat. mat he bad to deal with the most inflJential m e mber on that side of the House—(Near, hear.) -1 He recoVected that the RiAlit 11..tenirable Gehtie. man had tint a former occasion described the unhappy state ot Ireland as he had done now, but what liss tia: to do uith the preseia question He had not heard a single individual complain that tlif amount forte for Ireland was tut large—(llear, hear, from I f,,:4ram) It was in England th at t h e Estab!iShd meir, was greater than the cilcurnstances of the times &mantled : there was not a single Ciaitinental State .t7cfn which this zionntry had any thing to appreheni. France was in the military possession of d.ia country, sod could not injure ; Spam, with her wretched Mo- Larch, was not to be dreaded ; and hot one of the >Leman Powers was likely to rise superior to our military or naval authority. But ilien it was said that the state of England required that a military :trite sitould be maintained, to check the bail spirit slab prevailed. Non, though some of the manta factoring districts had been disturbed, and a few infa tuted men had been caught in the snares of the de no*, he denied that there was any radical or ex trtrive disaffection among the people—any bail spirit shich required an army to subdue, which could not to restrained by the proper Civil Audio' ides (Hear.) He admitted the necessity of the force estimated for Ireland ; but it was because that country was ill-go. retard. It Ministers would preserve their vicious s eem viey must pay for it. l le was alarmed at the mintier in which a military spirit was favoured and gained ground -a spirit which would change the nit- Alai character—extinguish the love ut practical heedorn, which was not only our greatest glory, but our greatest power. Why was a military college kept up in time of peace? - (Hear, hear)— Phis he considered useless and pernicious, and he would con fidently ask the Duke of Wellington, at the bar of the House, whether he thought the spirit or discipline tat the army improved by its being officered from a military college ? He had no doubt the Duke of Wellington would answer in the negative. Let the House ccmpare the military with the naval service— that service to which we owed.our glory, wealth, and power. How did the fact stand ? An estimate is ;impo s ed for the Military College, but an inquiry..is proposed into the state of the Naval Asylum, with a view to reducing its resources. If this preference of :fie military service Was encouraged by the House, they would one day repent it—(Hear, hear)- He would also say,. if the House sanctioned the mal- administration of Ireland they would repent it. What • a picture did the Esttmates present ot the temper of his Majesty's subjects in all parts of the world ;-411 armed mice to repress dicoutent in Irelanti—an armed force to quell sedition in England--an armed force to knep down the black population in our colonies I but . he ant not believe such danger existed at home or abroad, and thereicre would reduce the estimate. He would above all deprecate a system of assimilating En3land to the Continental nations by making her (archway military ; a nation essentially military could cm, be essentially free. Sir FREDERICK FLOOD would reduce the foment Ireland ; but tor the irritating vote on a For tner sight Ireland, he said, was comparatively quiet, Stiiiht England was in a state of rebellion. The these population, with the exception of only a few Clinks, as in die County of Louth lately, was quiet. nit. number of dimes in England was greater, though nobody talked aboit them. Why should cot they talk ot murders and robberies in England as well as in Ireland ? (i//augh.) What had Ireland done ? (Aloud laugh, occasiosud by Mr. Bahia spring ing from hi: seat, to avoid the vehement gesticulations of the hras.Baronetabovehim.) The meiisui ea of the Right Hon. Gl:nue:inn (Mr. Peel) had done good in Ire land. He caLed them protecting laws, which said to every one rs be quiet." ( laugh.) In fact, he looked forward to the tranquillity of that country being soon tally restored. Tue opposition to the Catholic Chums was every year diminishing, and he had no doubt it would wholly disappear in 1718. (4 laugh.) Mr. CAREW would trust the security of Ireland not to an army, but td her own population, as Al, a tinnier well known period. nr. J. P. GRANT withdrew his motion to make way for that of his Honourable Friend (Mr. Calcralt). Mr. CALCRAFT moved that the Restdution should be recommitted, with a view to his moving the reduction of 10,000 men iu the estitnate, that be.. (on the suggestion of the Speaker) the only way ja which the amendment could be proposed. Lord EBRINGTON was surprised to find that f aelatul was disturbed, Mier the description of its, I.7 .6quillity by the Noble Lord when he moved the !eta. on Bills; and again he thought it matter of sur- Prise, that when the Noble Lore on a former evening proposed a measure of conciliation, it was iesistld by the Right Honourable Secretary (Mr. Peel). These *etc strange anomalies. He understood too, that this WAS but the prelude to worse enactments. Lord CASTLEREAGkI said, that when he said 11 was not necessary to suspend the Habeas Corpus Act in Leland, he nevev said that other remedies alight not be wanted, he never contemplated a re , duction of the army there. He stated, that the Irish elivernment cooperated in reducing the military expense. As to the Colonies, some had been an. !e?ititl but recently, and were as yet unused to -Eng *'4ll laws and habits; and even if they were, ituai ' tthe distance.veluction theft,' as propoted. wbuld be impracticable; Of the lore, for Ireland no one scarcely disapproved. and 26,000 men, Or ab int 16,900 ef tecCve.

The other Resolutions were then agreed to. LorrEillEs. The CHANCELLOR uf the EXCHEQTTER moved that the Committee on i.ei L'itteries 1111 should be postponed till to-onniaow. ' Mr. LYTTLETON wished die Committee to be gone into now, as he knew of 119 other business of importance that was about to come betore the. 'loose. The CHANCELLOR of Vie EXCHEQUER obj.tcted to the Committee being gone into, as a ques tion of some importance was expected to be raised nn one of the Bills Sounded on the Report of the Financ e Committee that night. Mr. BROUGHAM said, it was not intended to raise the question adverted to by the Chancellor of the Exchequtr. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER on understanding this, could have no objection to Lo into tl:e Committee. The House then went into the CA-no:ince. Mr. LYTTLETON proposed that the preamble of the Bid should run thui—'' Whereas it has been thought expedient to replenish the Public Purse, by turning to ai.count the vces of the people ; aod wher:as gambling is one of the vices which our an CtSl:.l'i thought it their duty to discout age ; and as nuthing tends to stimulate the pi•ople us indulge in it So 11911:3 as Lotteries, May it please your Majesty," Scc.--( 4 laugh.) Mr. BROGDEN said, the proper time for moving this preamble would not arrive till the Home: had gone through the clauses in the body of the Bill. Mr. Llf 1 hLr. VON wi?hdrew the preamble for the present. He afterwards moved .t variety ol amendments ; one of which went to substitute 40,0c0 tickets for 60,000, 19 the filling up of the Bill. By another he endeavoured to fix the prices at which the tickets should be sold. On this a discussion arose. He afterwards moved several amendments. which were put and negatived. Oa one clause for deter mining the price at which tickets should be slid, after some discussion, in which Mr. W. Ssirrii, the CIIANCELLOR of the EXCUEQUEIt t and Mr. 13itot.;;;tinxt participated, Mr. LYTTLZTON took this opportunity of characterising the presezt scheme as a scandalous imposition on the public. At first he stated the tic kets to have been sold at £lB. 18s. and in sixteenths at the rate of £2O. 16s. before the drawing COM menced. Now, alter two days drawing, in which one-twelfth, instead of two-thirds of the whole num ber of tickets had been drawn, the price was advanced to £22. 6s.—These Amendments were negatived without a division. Mr. BENNET thought the Dill ought to have been printed ; and to give time (or the printing of it, moved that the Chairman should report progress, and ask leave to sit again. On this question a new discussion arose. It was finally negatived. Isle. LYTTLETON moved, as an amendment, that should be inserted in the Bill for WOO, to be paid to the Bank for the management of the Lottery. This and other amendments. which he sat). sequently oared were nega.ived without a division. The preamble he withdrew alter moving it, intend ing to bring it again forward on the third reading of the 13i11.—The House resumed, and the Report was ordered to be read dais day. Mr. PONSONBI said. he would nut to-morrow put the ques tion which he had announced it to be his intention to ask re specting the Habeas Corpus Suspension Am, but he purposed to du so on Thursday. Mr. DA VIES EAT brought In Bills (oi: i re:tasting Oakes in tile Exchequer, and for enablitig his ivlsjesty to grant Cunt &mat ion fur mcrituriuus Services. They were severally read a first, and ordered to he read a se cond time—the first on kiiday, the others on Monday. The other Orders of the Dry were disposed ut, and At One o'Cluck the House adjourned. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON.

'the Report of the Committee of Supply, or. the I Army Estimates, was brought up last night in the House of Commons. Mr. J. P. GRANT made a pro., position that they should be voted only for three months, in order that the opinion of the Committee of, Finance, on the state of the Income and Expenditure of the Country, might be known before any defini-1 Live attangement was adopted. After a good deal of discussion, the proposition wa: witlidta..en. Mr. CALCILAVT then mawd for a recommitment of the Estimate.' s with a view to a specific reduction of 10.0(0 men, but, on a division, the motion was lost by a majority of SS. In answer to a question from Mr. Possosnr, Lord CAbTLEREAGII informed thei House, that it was not the inteotion of Government to fill up the tacant office of Chief Justice of Chester, until the Committee appointed to inquire into the administration of the Laws in Wales, bring up their Repart. Notice was given by Mr. Pocsonitv;that he would to-morrow (Thursday) ask cf Ministers, whether it is their intention to move, during the present Session, for a renewal of the Suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act ? The result will be looked for with anxiety ; and whatever it may be—whether affirmatory of such intention or not—it cannot fail to produce the most lively sensation in the country. In the House of Lords a determination was last night.expreised by 1.44 Ettscniz, on the subject of ,Lord Sugropriel Circular, which will serve is some degree to alleviate the pnblic cl:stpperintmcnt at fate cf Earl - Ganes Motion on the preceding eve} jug. In order to ascertain distinctly the state of the law, he iiitimated that he would move on a future .!ay fur all precedents of commitments for libel by Justices of the Peace on which rec-guizatice 4V411 tn tared in the Court of King's B?rcl•, or at the Court of Sesitins, and also of tl:e Indictments fnund un them. As the Noble Lord jurtly observed, publi.: opinion must be the ride of. Parliament, and w,: have no doubt that every eiscussion upon the nwrits of the Circular, will place in a still clearer point of view, the fallacy of the grlunds on which the law it would promulgate, is attempted to be titablislied. FRENCH PAPERS. The Paris Papers of Sun Lay last arrivei this marr ing. The only article of any interest which they c•mtain, is the following very Orliculcas Edict of the Royal EintrsHerer FERDINAND: - " The King has consulted the Acalemy r f St. Ferdinand cm the means proper to be adopted to check the inundrion ea: i catures (gravure ridicules) in which the picture•dealers make traffic ahke huntillatirg to the Arts and to the natiirl. most sacred objects, the King, all the nogisst Members of the Royal Family, are made the subject of their absurd transformations. lu order to prevent this prof:math:lt, and un the report of ti:e Aca• deniy, it is ordained; let, That even the Members of the Aca ferny of whivever class they may he, shall Lot hence for& publish any work of Art or Literature, without baying previously submitted It to the censure, and obtained the appro bation of the Academy.

While FERDINAND is waging tilts petty warfare against crayons and crow-quills, the real enemy with which he has to struggle—the deep•rooted disgust and contempt of the Spanish people—appeals from the following important private letter to be fast con centrating- into an union of strength which it will require something of mire wisdom and power than mere Royal Edicts to subdue: " MADRID, APRIL 9.4. f , It is a certain fact that our Coven:aunt lately sent oil' the most petempfory orders for General ',arc, now confined in the c►tadel of Bare,.lona, in consequence of the la:e conspiracy in that place, to Ih•e immediately shot. Since then, however, remon strances flans all the corporate and privileged Bodies in Catalonia have arrived, and the Petitions front the Merchants, Ste. signed by no less then 43,000 signatutis, are also expected. Every in. habitant of the above Prircipality feels for the misfortune of so illustrious a Patriot, and they have expres►ed their feelings in free and bat language. Up to the present date his Majesty has come to no determination, and V.c Petition:, couched in the most hodourab!e terms, ate under deliberation.

Baltimore Papers arrived this morning to the 11th April. The following are extracts : BALTIMORIL, APRIL 9. EXTRACT yr A LETCE.H. IRO* DEMPRARA. " We have hid corer smart shocks of an earth quake within the space of the last four months, as follows : one on the 17th September, at ten o'clock, a. in. one on the thli December, and another on the ed that month, at a quarter past twelve o'clock, midnight. The last was truly alarming. The dark ness of the night, the howling of dogs and other ani mals, the tremendous rumbling noise of the shock, which lasted more than a minute, excited the most dreadful apprehensions; but, thanks be to Gm! the morning arose, and it was found that the Colony had sustained but little injury." CHARI.LiI 04, APRIL 2. The Spanish brig which was wrecked on the Bar last week, proves to be a prize to a Carthagenian pri vateer brig (formerly the True Blooded Yankee) Captain Jewett, fitted at New York some time since. She was Irons Havanna bound to Cadiz. On Sun- day night last, in a N.W. blovi,she drifted off, and went to sea, the principal part of her sugar having dissolved. A number of boxes trere previously taken out, and her rigging and sails principally saved by the wreckers. She was seen of StonO yesterday by a coasting vessel. A serious misunderstanding is said to .have taken place between this country and America, respecting the boundaries on the fishing coast of Newfoundland, which it will be recollected were, by the late Treaty, left unsettled, for the purpose of being afterwards discussed. Our ships have captured an American vessel on the ground of alleged encroachment, and slye now remains for adjudication.—An American Gentleman, arrived in this Country yesterday, offi cially authorised to enter into the subject, and we undei stand the affair will shortly be brought before the Public. The letters received this morning from America state, that great alarm had prevailed there in consequence of the non-arrival of the Mails, owing to adverse winds; it was even reported in America, that an embargo had been laid upuu all Americas s hips in British ports.
