He quoted the opinions of Dun- NING (Lord Ashburton), who declared that he knew fifty Members of Parliament who held' •• opinions out of the House opposite to what they supported by their votes ;—of the Speaker (Sir FLETCIIER Nonros), who said that the influence of the Crown had increased beyond all ideas of a Mo • narchy strictly limited in its nature and extent; and of Ju,stice BLACKSTONE, who stated, that since the, Revolution of 1681, the Crown had gained as mtrch in influence as it had lost in prerogative. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman concluded a most powerful speech, amidst continued cheers, by proposing the following Resolution That the influence now possessed by the Crown was unnecessary to the main tenance of a Constitutional prerogative, was destruc tive of the independence of Parliament, and incon sistent with a well-governed State." The Marquis of LONDONDERRY replied, by alleging that the proposition of Mr. Baoucuesx was, in fact, an impeachment of the Parliament, and of all those '.:il is who had conducted the affairs of the country for the last twenty years; and called upon the House to consider its dignity and character, and not to enter mina Resolution which, he contended, was calculated to degrade both. His Lordship concluded by moving the previous question; and oa Mr. BROUGHAM'S Motion being put to the vote, it was negatived by a majority of 115—these being 101 fur the Motion, and 216 against it. The French Papers of Saturday have been re ceived. It appears that the Ultra Journalists have gone rather too far in their hostility towards Spain, and that the Government has felt it necessary to re primand that ferocious bigotry which seeks not only to excite a civil war in Spain, but also to embroil the tvo nations in a contest. " France," says the Mani tear, in a demi-official article, has no ill will to the independence of other nations, and no fears for its own." This declaration is certainly at variance with the fact of strengthening the Cordon Sanotoiro on the frontier, and the general conduct of the }Tench Government, which has so long tolerated, if not authorized, the grossest libels on the Spanish Government. • The Journal dts Debats gives some fresh particu lars of the arrest of General Stumm, at Saumur..— BtRTON had for some time left his retreat near Saw ' mur, and proceeded in the direction of Bourdeaus, hoping to find the means of embarking; but he was induced to return to Saumur, because he had been deluded with the hope of a movement, of which the ' object, td all appearance, was to deliver the prisoners of ruictiers. The accounts from the North in these Papers are not of so recent a date as those received through the medium of the Dutch Journals, nor do they add any information of interest. i''RENCII FUNDS, Jona 22.—Fire per Cents. opened at Dl f. 25 c.—bighest 91 f. 50 c.—closed at 911. 45 c. On the 30th ult. the Russian Minister of Finance - made a Report to the Council of Superintendence over the Affairs of Public Credit, on the state of the Public Debt.—The debts of Russia, which the ope ration of the Sinking Fund embraces, are divisible , iato three I-eads : I, Those contracted before the institution of the Sinking • kJad. 2. Those which are the result of Loans contracted for the Furpose of reducing the amount of paptr money. 5. Those which were incurred with a wield to igovile for the io.cessitles of huitiir y branches of the Adininistration. • It, under the first of these 11;,v4inna, not including thit oitt acebent of Holland, amounted.' before the year 1817, to 11,646,418 roub. metalliq. 206,038,739 assig. The Dutch debt was 50,600,000 fioriris ; and on the.lst of January, 1822, the reduc tion, which had taken place in this,mass of debt, by Means of the sinking fund, amounted to about 62.000,000 roubles assig. and in twenty year• the whole will bt redeemed by means of the sioking fund of two per cent. on the capital of the debt, and the sums annu.tlly brought in. The second general class of debts, viz. those growing out of loans for the reduction of the paper money, were contracted in 1817 and 1818 in assignats, at 6 per cent. and in 1820, in specie roubles, at 5 per cent. per annum. The sum total of these debts, on the Ist of Jahu try, 1822, amounted to 334,840 roubles metallic, and 109,720,471 assignats. Of this, the portion which is redeemable will be paid off likewise in 20 years, leaving only between 11 and 12 millions of perpe tual debt, which belongs to some of the public establishments. The specie loan, negotiated by Messrs. BARING and Hort, amounted to 40 minions; but of this, only between 26 and '37 millions were carried to account of the; O millions assigned to the diminution of the paper money. Of the above loan there has , been al ready redeemed 701,700 roublei; - and the Govern ment has, or is in the act of destroying assignats, with the proceeds of it, to the amount of nearly 47 millions of roubles, which will make altogether, of paper extinguished, upwards of 256 millions of roubles. The third class of debts, those contracted to pro vide for certain brahches of the Administration, have amounted, during the four years specified, to 1,305,000 metallic roubles, and nearly 18,000,000 in assignats ; but the Government was under the necessity of di verting IS out of the 40 millions of the Hoes and BARING loan, from its natural destination of redeem ing paper, to supply some pressing wants of the ser vice, which increases the specie debt of the public Administration by the like sum. The result is, that the whole debt of Russia, in all its branches, amounted, on the Ist January, 1822, to Holland, 48,600,000 florins; Home debt, above 53 millions specie roubles ; Assignats, above 296 mil• lions. The annual Sinking Fund for the redemption of which amounts to above 1,000,000 roubles specie, and above 5,000,000 assignats ; or bears a propoitionl to the debt of something more than Ito 50. The English Sinking Fund, taken at 3,000,0001. (and it has not yet been so much since the peace), is to this debt as 1 to 270. At a late hour this forenoon we received'a tiam- 1 burgh Mail, bringing intelligence of a most dreadful fire of a church in Norway, by which qpwards of 100 persons were burnt to death. Tho following are the afflicting details of the event, as well as of another distressing tire in Finland, by which a whole town has been destroyed : • rue . toutl of t STOCKHOLM, JUNE il. In the parish of Grue, in the district of Hedemark, in Norway, a church has been burnt, by which many persons have come to a melancholy end. The church was of wood, and smeared over with tar, so• that the whole edifice was in tunes in a few minutes. Several hundred persons who were in it at the time rushed to the door; a press was caused, which stopped the way. —The people then ran to the windows, and, though they were high, leaped through them out of the burn ing building. The Clergyman, who was in the pul pit, chose this shorter way, and saved his life by a hazardous leap ; but above 100 persons, who could not make their escape, perished in the flames. The fire was caused by the carelessness of the sexton, an old man, who had not used due caution with the fire kept for lighting the tapers on the altar. The fire which broke out on the 23d of May, at Ulcaborg, in Finland, has not only reduced the whole town to ashes, but totally destroyed the houses before it and the Custom-houses. Many of the fire-engines were also consumed. Several persons were burnt to death in their houses, and 4000 people are now wan dering about without shelter or food.
