Atienascipitete return to cash payments would, how. . eerie only serve to increase the distress of the country. , .Tbe.Three per Cents. tau years atter the peace of . /783;ssitb America, had not been higher than £55, yet Qnrtfentecial Treaties had then been entered into with various Powers. He did not look at the future ;with despondency, but trusted that the situation of the country would speedily mend. Sir J. NF.WPORT considered the numerous Peti. Lions which loaded the tattle sullicient documents on which el groeni the motion which his Learned Friend had made. The Ri• ; :,!it H in. Gentleman who had last spoken, expected that the country would speedily right itself, but how yeas that to be done, if the reme ilirs p r eps, ti were rejected, and no other sssggested ? 11.- contended that the present distress was not the off:•ct 1)1 the sudden transition from war to peace, but the result of overpowering taxation. As to the emi gralion of Gentleman to other countries, they were striven away by the taxes. It they were enabled, they would prefer to live at home. He had beard the late rise in the hint attributed to the suspension of the Hiheas Corpus, which secured the country from the plots and d-ingers with which it was threatened. If so. the srgnment would lead to the total abolition of that holwat k to the liberty of the subject. He objected to a Sinking Fued which was not kept up by a sur plus revenue, and considered it, except in that case, as a mere delteinn imposed upon the public. Mr. BROUGHAM explained that he did not mean to represent machinery as injurious to the country ; and In what he had said of the watch trade and unemployed tailors, he meant merely to advert to them as developing some of the gen-ral syrneuens of the prevailinz tl,sttets, Mr. C. GRANT could not agree to Resolutions which chat;ted his Majesty's Ministers with being the authors of the existing distresses, and which tended to create, a sentiment of hopelessness which he did not share. He • maintained that there were many symptoms of improvement in the situation of the country.. The chief ceuse of its distresses was the cessation. of foyeign and domestic demands for the produce of its industry. The former Was occasioned by the exhausted state of the Continent, and the lat. ter by the reduction of the means of purchase in the hands of the people of this country. He stated, that in the cotton and woollen manufactories theje was a renewal of hope and of activity. Orders were fide itig in from various quarters, and not quarters ef speculation, bet of confidence and safe dealing. It had been argued that the state of the money-market was no test of the situation of the country. Whyei thin were the fuels so much lower three months ago, when the distress of the land was greater than at the present time. Because that confidence did not then exist which now began to revive. The Continent I might wish to rival our manufactures, but in vein. It neither possessed equal ingkuity nor equal capitals. As to conimereial treaties, those who were so eager for them meant treaties which should secure every advantage to ourselves, to the misery of the other party. He cou'd nut 'complain of the restrictions imposed by fureigh countries upon our trade when they had only followed our example (Near, aar). Should tee have used our power to compel them to acquiesce with our views, even if we had succeeded, such treaties would contain the seeds of their own dissolution. He contended that it was the duty of Covet nment to look to the temper of those for whom they were to legislate. How then could the restric tive system be abandoned, although it might be dis apirefed of, when mpst of the manufacturing inte rests attributed their distress to the slight relaxation which had already taken place in its severity. in spite of the restrictions imposed by foreign Powers, who did not fa:l that our manufactures would as they had done, over the iron power of Bo naparte, vas it too sanguine to say that the heaviest of the storm' was past—that we had tegained the ascent, and would rapidly resume our ancient pros perity ? When we saw the increase which had taken place in agriculture, commerce, population, and era pile ; when we betaild British ascendeucy and supra. Macy in all that gave litnmortel fame, in stets, in arms, in Morals, could we believe that the sentence of candemriation was already passed, and that we were one of those nations which PROVIDENCII would hull from its guilty greatness to ruin ? He did not ask wh at markets were opened : he appealed to the cha racter of the people, to its great qualities and me sources ; he relied on the ascendency of tire national genius, and on that spirit of enterprise which bad ear ned the country gloriously through the perils of veer, and would bear her triumphantly through all the dis. tresses of peace. Believing, therefore the present diffitulties temrrary, he could not subscribe to the Hon. and Learned Gentleman's Resolutions. Mr. SHARP only rose to explain bow it was that the fends were now so high, and had been so low a few weeks since. This was not to be imputed, as it appeared to have been ridiculously dome to the Sus. pension of the Habeas Corpus, but to a measure lately adopted' by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the re duction s thr interest en Exchequer Bills, from sto t per cent. This offered greatir temptations to place enmity in the Funds, and was the real cause of their late rise.. As to the argument that tt g Funds were low after the American Peace in 1794 . the reason w is plain. because an :wive commerce had been fin. mediately restored with America, and all the money had been thrown into that channel. The assertion of the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite, that although the regulations of trade were impolitic, yet Govern ment were obliged to adopt them. by the importuni ties of the various interests for whose protection they were funned, was a oonfeuion of weakness on the pert oldie Administration, which shewed bow necessary it was for trie House to interfere. Mr. S. THORNTON took a genczal view of tlje commtecial relations of the country, ;hewed the Bank to have pursued the strait forward line of duty, and not wishing this country to interfere between Spain aod her Colonies, expressed a hope that means would be taken. in the event of their becoming independent tn eeCtliC to this country a commercial' intercourse, with them. Mr. FINLAY denied that the distressof the coun try ..rose from the want of demand. The consump tier+ of goods was great, and yet the prices were un prec!-detitedly low. He could only account for it from the impoverished state of Europe generally, and from fte transition from war to peace. An improvement had undoubtidly taken place in the manufacturing .4.4ricts, and when this got on a little further, less • tabenr would be brought into the market, and the itituaion o t_ sui p affairs might be expected rapidly to ! amend. He could not see that any purpose wool l be answered by carrying the Resolutions of the Ho noorable and Learned Gentleman, as they led to Aso practiyl inquiry. Lord CASTLEREAGH regretted that politics should have been unnecessarily mixed up with the present question, and that an attempt should have been made to wound . the Government through the distress of the country, instead of discussing the sub ject with a view to some practical measure. He de clined answering the latter part of the Honourable and Learned Gentleman's speech au the present oc casion. He, however, believed he had a right to as sume that course which had been pursued by Minis ters, had the unction of that House—had the appro. bation of the country—and must now be left to the judgment of posterity. No line of conduct could be more criminal on the part of this countr) than to have endeavoured to make arrangements for the govern ment of men in other parts, according to our corn mercial views ; and nothing, he was satisfied, could ultimately prove more impolitic. It was most grati fying to hear from an Honourable Gentleman, so able to give information, and so recently tram a great manufacturing district as the last speaker ( Mr. Fin lay), that the distress was already abated. This was consoling, as it went to prove' that the pressure now felt arose from causes which were tealporary.— To what had been advanced on the subject of Com mercial Treaties, he would say this country had, in his opinion, made too many of them, and we could not now attempt to add to their number without risk of implanting in the country we treated with a spirit of commercial jealousy and poitical hatred, tore in jurious to our interests, in every enlarged view of policy, than the concessions we obtained by it could possibly prove beneficial. All things considered, the exports of the year 1816 were tnech greater than we had a right to expect they would be. The exports of British manufactures had amounted in the last year to £36,700,000. This was the highest return made in any year but that immediately preceding the last, when the value of our exported manufactures had risen to 444,000,000. Alter such a year a falling off was to be expected. At present he could see no' , real decline in the demand for British goods; our in tercourse with the Continent was five times greater than it was before the war, and instead of feeling any thing like despondency, he could not but look for— v.,ard to the result with cheering hope. He ;hewed !how immensely the industry of the country had I been affected by the cessation of the Government demands for those articles, of which such large sup lplies were wanted during the continuance of the war. When this was remembered, and when the difference ;in the exchanges, which fro:n being 30 per nut. I against this country, were now six or seven per cent. in its favour, were taken into consideration, he did not see that the consequences which had ensued were other than must naturally be expected fr..m such a revulsion. He therefore moved, that the other Orders of the day should be read. Lord COCHRANE did not believe the causes of the present distress to be of a temporary nature.— Taxation was the root of the erril, and tial the people' were relieved from the burdens under which they at present groaned, all but those who derived their re venues from the taxes must be distressed. Commerce could not revive, for it would be impassible for this country to enter into successful competition with fo reigners, while our manufactures continued to be op pressed as they were at present by taxation. The Bank, in the present Irate of things, could not •esnine cash payMents without producing even greater dis tress than had yet been experienced. Mr. Alderman ATKINS thought it was ind'apen sibly necessary that the House should go into a Com mittee on a matter Of such importance, to inquire into the causes of the distress, and to endeavour to disco ver the means by which it might be removed. Mr. BROUGHAM would not follow the Noble Lord (Cu derugh) into al the tog ice of his speech, short as it was I Ns few arguments could easily be answered. In sheering the state of our exports, mud comparing those of hut year with the exports of pre ceding pun, hr hal only rated an argument which he (Mr. Brougham) anticipated. The prices were taken from the offi.ial ' returns. Although greater last year than those of any former year, except 1815, they did nor, u the Noble Lord intended they should, allow a E 'wishing state of our commerce, He was pre pared to prove, that these prices were never realised ; that they wage invoice prices; that 50 per cent of those prices we not paid. His Honourable Friend, the Member lOr Glasgow if he would allow him to call him so), had truly stated that out ex ports were great, that great quantities of goods were sent out of ' the country by the manufacturers; but these goods were not sold ; or, if sold, they brought no price that would repay their expenses. The Hononrabk Member knew that be was obliged to export his cotton webs at no profit, and sett them at a price that would not enable him to support his labourers. The Noble lord had accounted for the present emharrauments of the trad ing and manufacturing interests from the ditoinution of Govern ment demand, In conk queue of ele peace. 'The Commissariat, and the Navy, bad funterly consumed to a great amount; and this demand had now been annihilated; but how cim!ti this hap pen ? Wu nut the money in the country ? and was it not to be employed inywonsoling our internal commerce Did the Noble Lord mean to state disc we could not use the money in our pockets except we allowed the longer arm of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to be put in along with our own hands to take it out—(Hear, and a laugh). Could we not, if the Chancellor of (be Exchequer allowed us to keep our money in our pockets, postdate aid consume the goods which Government purchased and consumed hew.) The Noble Lord proceeded on the tepposition that be (Me- keesighant) bad urged thasecem:ty er propriety et interfering li foreign politics for commove* purposes; of planting governments for the interests of oar tradh; and of doing what was in Itself wrong or unjust for the sake of securing commercial advantages to which we were not entitled. - -Wham a Government by -its own avowal has been reduaqi to such a mate et deplorable weakness that It cannot tee. form its tuncrlons—when it had not only been reduced to a number of clerks in ernes, but could not answer the woodmen and iromoeu that came to oppose bas another in tie Trade-odice—(Cries .f leer, laser.)--te Mu high time fo Parliament to step in and retests the country from their hands, sad Inquire into the best =canoed redressing the grievances which it suffered from the Admit:thirstiest.

The Memorial in the shape of a letter to Sir Hun: sou Lows, of which we yesterday laid. a copy belore our Readers, has been published as a Pamphlet with some prefatory remarks by M. SANTINE, who calls himself " lhdnirr du Ca three de l'Empereur," from which the following are extracts : " I am a native of the Island of Corsica; at the age of thirteen I entered the military service in the battalion of Corsican sharp shooters. I was present at the battles of Ulm, Austerlitz, Jena, Prussian Elau, Friedland, Ratishon, Eckmuhl, Aspern, Ypers herg, Wagram, and, finally, at the battle of Polark ; after which I quitted the profession of a soldier for thnt of a courier. When the Emperor departed front Fontainebleau, for the Island of Elba, I determined on following him, without feeling any concern about the rank in which I might continue my services. A abort time after our arrival, I was presented to the Emperor. He recognized an old soldier who had never failed in the fulfilment of his dot)!; and Sad the nosiness to grant me the Elates of Messenger to his Cabinet, and Keeper of bit Forth :Ito. I re turned to France io OM, in the suite of the Emperor; and after the battle of Waterloo. I accompanied him to Rochefort, and on hoard the English skip the Bellerophon. Finally, I was one of the few faithful servants of his Majesty, who had the happiness to fallow him to St. Helena, where, for nearly a year, I screed near his person. " The Emperor, on his arrival, resided in the house of a mer chant named flalcombe, where he remained for about two months; Mr. Balcontbe's house was neither suitable nor convenient ; but for th s Sir G. Cockburn was in an way blameable. On every occasion be endeavoured to conciliate the duties of his office with the respect and delkaey which were due so the rank and misfor tunes of his august prlcouer. Front thence the Emperor was transferred to Longwood, which was once a farm belonging to the but India Company. In this wretched asylum he still re mains. His sleeping chamber is scarcely large enough to contain a bed sad a few chairs. 'lle roof of this hovel consists of piper coated with pitch, which is beginning to rot, and through which the rain-water and dew penetrate. In addition to all these in convettlences the Louse is infested by rats, who devour every thing that they can reach. All the Emperor's linen, even that i which was lately sent from England, has been gnawed and com pletely destroyed by them. For want of closets, the linen is ne cessarily exposed upon the floor. When the Emperor is rt dsnrer the rats run about the apartment, and even creep between his feet. '1 he report of a house having been bulk for the Emperor,: rhich, it has been said, was sent from England, is entirely false. Some pieces of timber work have, indeed, arrived; but. the Gen vernor declared that a house cannot be bulk in km than three or four pram. " When the Emperor was established at Longwood, Sir G. Cockburn introduced the most exact economy intoevery branch of the expendkure. The Emperor, however, Dever wanted what was necessary, and the Admiral always took care that no thing should booefused which, with due regard to the locality, the person of the Emperor; and hie duty, was indispensable. It is not. however, economy which the new Governor has intro fluted into the household of the Emperor, it is absolute want. " It is to be recollected the Governor took upon himself the entire charge of the maintenance of Napoleon and his suite; but the provisions lie furnisheslwere always in too small a quautity, and also, very often, of bad quality. lu the latter ease, *hen the Emperor's bouse-u.wari (Cipriani) has loud himself under the necessity of sending back the provisions, the ankles were never replaced by others more fit for use, and it has been neces sary to wait until the following day for a supply. " It has often happened that. on finding himself without any butcher's meat for the Emperor's table, the steward has scot toe to purchase a sheep, for which I have paid four guineas, and caftan could unly procure pork for making soup. " Captaiu Puppleton, of the L td Regiment. appointed to guard the Emperor, if he Is the nun of honour I believe hint to be, will not fail to bear witness that he has often lent candles to lighten this 1/.de of desolation, as well as breast, better, poultry, and even salt. I was oven, from necessity, in the habit of repairing secretly to the Eeglish camp to purchase butter, eggs, and bread, of the soldiers' wives, otherwise the Emperor woulb poet& have been without a breakfast, and even without a dinner. " The Go manor sent seven servants to Longwood, but the Em peror was ohllsed to dismiss four o' them, from inability to supply them with toot) ! on which the Governor grantee...soldiers' rations to the three that rensained. •• Ohm has k atao happened, that Cipriani, the steward, has purchueti front these thresservaals dm' micas si bessdrday re.* eeheti ft Wel the camp, in consequence of the want of provisions for the Emperor sod his suit, witiothliau nut arnvet " it is a fact which will appear Incredible, but which is not less trust, that the Emperor is limited to a bottle of whir per day. •Ma►shll and Madame Bertrand, General Muotholutt and his Lady, General Gourgand, and Count de Las Casa', have also each their bottle. "Menial Benand has three children, M. delMontholon two, and M. de Las Cazas one, about t 5 or 16 years of age; and for all them months gybe Governor allows no rations. 6 ' In this ante of things, the Emperor ha' been compelled to sell all h s plata to procure the first necessaries of life! I my self broke, it in pieces befortgit was setts to the market. 'f he pro duce of the sale was deposited, by order ut the Governor, in the bands of Mr. Holcombe, and the Emperor was not permitted to touch a single penny. " Whey the House Steward, wishing to supply the deficiency of .% provisions lendshed by the Govsruor, makes purchases hints.) (which happens every day) be ern only pay them by or den upon Mr. Holcombe. " I used to rise at break of day, and when I did not succeed In shooting a few meow in the neighbourhood of our dwelling, the Emperor frequently had nethhig fur breaklast. the provisious did not reacu Longwood until two or three o'clock in the after noon ; and whin they were of so bad a quality that the House Steward had to send them'back, the Emperor subsisted entirely on the prodtee of my shooting. On these occasions, the Cook thought himself fortunate In baying brought front Paris some portable cakes, with which be made ►oup fur the finiperor " There is no water fit for coo►ing at Longwood. Very good water may, however, be procured at a distatice of It.'oo )ards, which might be conveyed to the Emperor's barracks at an expense of from it.: to 1500 francs. " The house is ouly supplied by the water which is brought from this fountain; it is open only met, doting the den; at all other times it is lucked. It is guarded by an El gush 011icer,eho is scarcely errs presets when water is wanted. There is a eels. dolt foe conveying water to the English cmnp; but it was thought unnecessary to do as much for the unfortunate Napotetiii. •- I spare the great and humane English nation a picture of the other Insults and humiliations, to which tie Emperor is esposed, mid also a fugitive detail of the complaints, which the Euiptror mikes against the Governor, Mr bliiidedu Lowe. I shall confine omit to . observiug, tkat at tim last visit the Governor made to Longwood, and - at which I was presto; he offtudett to such. de; grew, that the Emperor sod , ' Here you nut then drine with bl oating ate!
