- . all who'l4# heard tile' ac'ciisation and the answer would agree with him in thinking that there'never had b -, !en- a charge more satisfactorily refuted than the nreent. His Honourable Friend had first arplied himself to the general principle, sod then to the particular details. Now wi:h regard to the de tails, it would be tan much to say that his Honour able Friend had met every specific case which the Honourable Membet had brought forward; but he was sure that those who had attended to the amount of cases brought forward, and to the proportion of those casei which his Honourable Friend had, on the instant, been capable of answering, must admit that there had seldom °centred an instance in which so great a proportion of what had been alleged had received so complete' and satisfactory an answer.— The general principle, however, was of more con sequence; and undoubtedly a difference of opinion might he entertained, as to whether the rank of pro rlotion ought not to be entirely regulated by merit and seniority ; but if merit was relied upon as a ground of promotion, it must allow discretion, and discretion might tend to abuse ; and the question, terefore, was resolved into one between the ground f seniority oaly or of merit, which admitted. the ercise of a discretion which referred to other consi derat'ons than those of service. It was the great ad vont ;ge of the Naval service that it admitted an union (4 all cla•;3e.;, which thus attempered each other. Sir F. OMMANEY wished to put one question to the Lat.'s of the Ad:niialty, how many Masters had Lien promoted since the war ?—(A laugh). He pro po:edan Amendment, but was not seconded. , 111 r 1 V! said a frw words in reply. Sir GEORGE COCKBURN extlained. He never flitted that the sons of Noblemen had a tight to pro :notion. With respect to Midshipmen it would be difficult for the llon.Member to find a vacancy at pre sent.—The House divided on the third Resolution, For the previous question - 153 Against it - - 32 Majority against the Resolution -121 The other Resolutions were got rid of by the previous question. QUALIFICATIONS OF JURORS. Mr. WESTERN moved for leave to bring in a Bill to alter and amend the laws respecting the qua. liticai.ion, of Jurors in counties, not being cities ‘vhich are counties. The lion. Member shortly explained rye objects of the BA!. Mr. LESTER seconded the motion. Mr. Sect e.at y PEEL hoped that ample time would be given fur the con,ideration of the measure. The experiment of three circuits was completely success .Sul, and he hoped it would be extended over the whole country—Leave was given to bring in the Bill. THE CORONATION. Mr. HUME said, he had now to bring before the House a subject of very great importance, he meant the subject of the money expended at the Coronation, especially as regarded the money taken from the sum paid by France as compensation money, and ap propriated to the discharge of the Coronation debts. The Chancellor of the Exchequer had stated, that the sum of I:500,000, of this money had heed received and was to be applied to the set vice of the Public ;1 whereas it now appeared that of this sum £138,000 had been applied to the expenses of the Coronation. This he conidered as a bleach of confidence on the part of Government, and an illegal act. The Hon. Member proceeded to comment on the expense of se veral parts of the ceremony ; he especially condemned the keeping a diamond bauble (the Crown) year after year, at a great expense, though no longer useful.— He should move— " That a Select Committee be appointed to inquire into the circumstances which occasioned an expense of £13,828, in the charge for the Coronation, more than the Estimate of 1820. Also to inquire why £113,f:18 had been applied to the discharge of the. Coronation expenses without the sanction of that House." The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could not admit that there had been the slightest misappli cation of the mbney alluded to by the Hon. Member. With respect to the Crown and the Robes, he could - say, that the price fixed on at the time of the Corona tion was £60,000. Other articles of the regalia, and particularly the circlet, were hired. After the Corona tion took place, it became desirable that the crown should be - purchased, and become part of the Public Regalia, but his Majesty's Government, knowing the expense of the crown would be £f35,000, although his Majesty was disposed to sacrifice, with that consideration which marked his conduct, out of the Royal Revenue, £30,0001 per annum, yet it was afterwards ascertained that the purchase of the crown was not an advisable measure. It was therefore sent back, and the hire paid. The other item, namely, the robe, constituted an expense of £24,000. It was required that the Sovereign should have two distinct dresses. He could not say whether the gold lace or embroidery was an inch broader than the dresses used at former Coronations. It was not a subject for the consideration of the llouse--(llear).—There was a set of robes which his Majesty wore at the opening of Parliament. These robes were always new at the Coronation. His late Ma jesty, however, did not order new Parliamentary robes. He went to Parliament in robes nearly a century old, and if any one had trod on the train it must have been left in a tattered state.— it was therefore rut extraordinary that his present Majesty *could require new Parliamentary robes. It was not sur prising that the total expel)* of the Coronation should have ex ceeded the estimate. The Hon. Genticm:at supposed there bad been a misapplication of the indemnity money from France. Patliatnert, in the Ways and Means, never did appropriate that fund; therefore, Government wet e competent to apply the in demnity to the Coronation , because it was a public service. The people of the country had never treated the ceremony with the levity of the lion. Member. Government were justified in applying it to a public service. lie concluded by giving the motion his complete negative.—The House divided— For the Motion Against it 77 127 -50 11Ljority The CHA NCF.I.I.OR, of the EXCHEQUER moved the third reading of the Scotch Commissaries Bill, but it was fixed for Tuesday lit tt. • Tue other Orders of the Day were disposed of, and the House adjourned at the &Clock. A Grand Concert has been announced at the King's Rooms, in Ilanover-square, in aid of the Funds of the Itoyal Metropolitan lnfi unary, for Sick Children, appropriately consecrated to the memory of the late Princess CHARLOTTE, of which his MAJESTY is the Patton. It appeam by the report that this Institution, (recently established) has already extended its benefits to upwards of 16,000 Sick Children, in Westminster and the surrounding parishes. To the honour of the profession, almost every performer of celebrity has nobly conic forward to assist on this benevolent oc casion. The bill of fare may therefore be expected to promise a delicious treat to •the lovers of music ; and it is highly gratifying to see se many illustrious, noble, and highly distinguished characters among the patrons and supporters of such a Charity.

This morning we received the French Papers of Wednesday, by Express, from which we make the following extracts:— FROM THE MONITEUR. REPORT CF THE LI EUTENANT•GENERAL, COMMANDING THE DIVISION OF THE EASTERN PYRENNEES, TO THE MINISTER AT WAR. " PERPIGNAN, JUNIC 13. Ahniszro NEUR—In my letter of yesterday, I had the honour to inform your Excellency that the enemy was marching on our frontier by the defile of Manera, and to acquaint you with the eispositions I had made for opposing his movements ; and I have now to state what has since occurred in the direction of Pratz di Mollo. " On the 12th of June, at one o'clock in the after noon, the King's Lieutenant at that place informed me that at noon the enemy occupied Roquebrune with about 2000 men and 60 horse; and that he had learnt from some muleteers who arrived on that day from Campredon with passports, signed on the 12th, that Baron d'Erolles was not at Campredon as he had expected. On receiving this information I wrote to General Vicomte d'Arnault, who was at Ceret, to proceed instantly to Pratz-di-Mollo and act according to circumstances, acquainting me with his movements that I might second his efforts; in order that the pass of Arles, IA hich is at the entrance of the valley of St. I Lattrente de Cerdans, might not be left exposed, I directed General d'Arnault to place a company of grenadiers of the 60ih line, and a company of horse artillery of the 4th Regiment, to watch it, while he I marched rapidly on Pratz di Mollo with the rest of the troops. All these movements were executed at the same time. " During these operations, the enemy's column, under the orders of Mina, had taken the route !i? Campredon ; but when he arrived within t h ree quar ters of a league of that city, he suddenly retro graded, and marched on Presta. " Yesterday I received a letter from General Baron de Damas, dated Flier, the 12th inst. informing me that Baron d'Erolles had written to him, in which he says, that, thinking Mina would retreat on Cardona, he was marching in that direction. Another report in forms me that General Roniagosa occupies Dorri. " General Baron de Damas informs me, by a let ter, written at tea o'clock in the morning of the Isth from Peralada, that he has re-occupied all his positions round Figueras, in order that he may notloie sight of the object with which he is more immediately charged. " The Lieutenant-General, Commanding the Di vision of the Eastern Pyrennees, ROTTENBOURG." PARIS, JUNE 18. This morning, before Mass, Count Juel presented to the King, at a public audience, letters from his Majesty the King of Denmark, in virtue of which he is appointed Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Ple nipotentiary at this Court. A letter, written by Marshal Moncey to the Duc de Belluno, dated Vicb, the 12th of June, at noon, announces, that according to the latest intelligence, Mina was marching on Llherono. Baron d'Erolles was with his troops at Tortella and Montagut. The Moniteur gives the following as the most cor rect statement of the events of the counter-revolution at Lisbon. Brigadier Joseph de Souza de Sampayo, com manding the 23d Regiment of Infantry, and Colonel D'Ouliel of the 4th Regiment of Cavalry, accom panied his Royal Highness the Infante Michel from Lisbon to Villa Franca on the 27th ult.; on the same day they published a proclamation. General Pam pelouna, who was at his country house, joined the Prince, .and was appointed Secretary of State. On the 28th he departed for Cartaz, where he was joined by a great body of police cavalry, by the two Generals Silveira, with several other distinguished persons, and a great number of the officers of the gar risc.n of Lisbon. On the 29th they marched to Santarem, where the Duke de Cadaval and several other Nobles joined them, as well as the militia regiments of all the dis tricts. At Libbon the Cortes dismissed the Ministry, and appointed a nevi one. The remainder of the garrison are shut up in their barracks, to prevent. their desertion. The Cortes, in a Permanent Sitting, declared the country in danger, and appointed Aviles Commander in-Chief, an appointment which he accepted. The Governors of the provinces of Beyra and of d'Almeyra, Itith all the troops and the population of the province have declared for thecause of the King and the nation. United to the division of General Amarante they are marching in haste to join the Prince, at the head-quarters, at Santarem. By the latest intelligence, it is certain that the troops which occupy the Province; of Ttas-os-Montes and Minim, and the district of Porto, belonging to the division of General Rego, instantly decided to join the same cause. We have no news of Gene-. ral Rego. . Intelligence, which appears official, states that the rest of the troops in Lisbon bad already joined the Prince, at Santarem. That the 18th regiment, which had been constantly entrusted with guarding the sacred person of the King, had carried him off; and that the 17th Regiment, which was in garrison at Cascaes, after liberatidg the Infants from Quelers and the Queen from Romaillas, had conducted them to Santarem, where all the Royal Family was assembled, in better health and in petf•Mt security. FRENCH FUNDS, WEDNEDAE.—Five Per Cents. 881% 20e. FROM TIIE CoIisTITUTIONNEL. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. PERPIGNAN, JUNE 10. Joseph del Estany and Romagosa, who were charged to defend Delver, retired on the approach of Mina's troops, without firing a shot, marching on Puycerda ; and it appears that our military are dis satisfied with their conduct. It these troops had de fended Delver, Mina would not have entered Cer dagne, without having lost.a great number of men., Romagosa had with him 1000 men of the Army of the Faith, and 600 men were sufficient to defend Belver, and to have retarded Mina for two or three days, who marches without artillery. Mina, after having visited 'all the villages of French Cerdagne, defiled on the seventh with his corps by the Col de Tosas. PARIS, JUNE Is.

We have not learnt, as yet, anything positive of the result of the military insurrection of Portugal.— The Diario of Lisbon, of the 31st of May, says, that the rebels have united at Sacavem. ROYAL MARI/alt.—The frigates Antigone, Gala thee, and Magicienne, each of 44 guns ; and the cor vettes Iris and Sylphe, left Brest, L'Oricnt, and Rochfort, on the 7th of June, to cruize in the Gulf of Gascoyne, and on the coast of Spain. The Oracle of Brussels contains the following : 41 According to letters from Leghc;rn of the 29th of May, the report in that town was, that a Russian fleet would immediately sail for the Mediterranean, to cruise in the sea of Malta." NEWS FROM SPAIN. MADRID. JUDE 9. Ballasteros is at Teruel, and from thence is going to Jativa. By some it is said he has from 6000 to 7000 men, and, according to other accounts, 9000. —lt appears that a French division of 2000 men are advancing against him. We enjoy here the greatest tranquillity. We hear from Seville that the Constitutionalists have decreed the suppression of the convents. Mo rillo has arrived at Lugo. . SANGUES, JUNE 4. We are continually employed here in forming the blockade of Pampeluna, without any other mode of attack but that of patience. These two months past we have been expecting the besieging artillery, but ihey are not yet arrived. An event has taken place here of a most serious de scription. The day before yesterday (June 2), 1 a re volt took place amongst the Spanish Royal troops of Navarre. They wished to restrain the authority of the Viceroy, Lieutenant-General Count d'Espagne.— A deputation of all the Officers (one regiment ex cepted), presented themselves to the Count, and sig nified to him, on the part of the soldiers, that they would not any longer recognize his authority ; they also declared that they would not obey any other authority than the ancient Junta of Navarre. Count d'Espagne finding himself in a critical situation, an extraordinary messenger was sent to Madrid with the above intelligence. GERONA, JUN?? 12. We had great hopes to compel. Mina to give us battle, in a strong position he had taken near Figue ras ; but, finding himself turned by our troops, he took to flight. MADRID, JUNE 12. BY A COURIER EXTRAORDii4ARY.
