f . the same pew with the Plinee, some place would found for her Royal Highness.

The Member ,for Wiltshire (Mr. MethLen), who first mentioned, the prop , sition of vote on a former night, ilisclaOned a-1 authority froth the Princess of Wales. It itsitst be, save ail her right, save her state, and dirsity, that she condescended to receive any money from this House. When first she heard of the proposition, she said- 4, I shall not be allowed to Starve iNthis country—l shall not be obliged to beg my bread-- and I will not compromise my rights for any thipg which can be offered to me." Whatever she acceptl, it must be in the contemplation that she givis nothing of rank, of dignity, and characteit; which; by the grant of this separate and ample—too ample allowance, it is evident she holds in the eyes'nf all the nation. It is in contemplation whether her Royal .Highness shall be admitted within that Cathedral, where all of higher rank are to be admitted. If an Upplication made on her behalf were refused, how would the nation brook this indignity .If there be one found to advise a denial—and if it be intended not only to exclude her Royal Highness from .the Drawillg•TOqin --from matters of ceremony, but from saying her prayers with the nation—what a mere mockery will the Proclamation of the Prince and our Resolutions be, if when we pray for forgiveness of our trespasses as we forgive others, there is one per son shut out—not from forgiveness only, but from justice. As to the provision which is to be made by this vote, it is large—much larger than any of the 'friends of her Royal Highness could have contem plated, if any such idea had entered their minds. It ss for her to consider, whether she thinks proper to accept the whole of it. I have no doubt that she •N ill act with dignity and propriety ; and if she calls is advisers on the subject, I hope she will call in such as will support her in her own honourable ideas. Mr. CANNING said, as II! bad not been present ht the former discussions, he toe to express his con - Currence an entire satisfaction in the vote propostal, the rather becaustt,the House on that day followed up the manikstation of their sentiments on a former occasion by a measure not to be mistaken by the par ties, both Iron which a )riginated. or with which it kvai connected. He should have offered nothing fur ther, if be had not beard some declarations, that the Princess would act unworthily to accept the present grant--[The whole of it, from Mr. Tierney.) As the House had preserved ate principle in the discussions . on this subject, not to medllle in those things in whim. it tould not properly come to a decision, so on the 'other hand, her Royal Highness sloultl not revise the decisan of the Committee, but that considering that all it:-r claims v..et , e. taken Into consider:y.lol4 and that by refusing a part of Cie grant she would lie :open to the imputation of giving up vane pecuniary ;advantage to be once more the subject of discussions in Parliamet:t, it would be most proper for lier in AC. 4tilesci pitsively in the determination of the islou,e. The Resolution was agreed to—the House was rt.. anted, and the Report was ordered to he brought top io-toorroW. FRESEIWATION OF THE PEACE It IRELAND. The HOttie went into a Committee on .the Irish Preset;itibn bf the Peace Bill. to desultory conversation took place h?tween Mr. Feet, Sir F. noon, Mr. Batqces, Sir H. PARNELL, tted dth'eS, some verbal amendments were proposed, end the Report was ordered to be taken into consi deration to-morrow. irlix orthwAree ESTIMATE& • • The HoUte then went into a.Committee of 3npply. Mr. R.WARD stated that considerable reductions probably be expected in the Estimates which he had to bring forward. In fact, a reduction would Riond 'in the present year of £1,500,000. This iitim amounted to ogre 4uarthr of the whole expence. 7: -It would be recollected that half of the year had paired in war, and there had not been an opportunity to seduce the different expences immediately. It was the beginning of April betore it was known that Paris bad been entered by the Allies ; soon after, Bona. piste ihelicated, and On the l9th of that !bomb or. tiers were issued by the Master General of the Ord. dance to reduce the establishments in every possible way. The 'military departnient had been 'reduced bile-fourth; the number of horse one-third ; and in the course of the year they would be reduced another tbi . raz-that 14 from 'Mx) to s third of that number. Me would not pledge himself Co an exact estimate of the attire reduction of eximuce, hut he would offer a tough calculation of the probable reduction under the peace establishment. This he conceived would be one half, exclusive of the total reduction of all the foteign corps. In the engineer corps all the Officers would be retained. This arose from the peculiar nature of that service, which required a lung and la borioas coarse of educazion, and which, if once suf iered to fall into neglect, could not easily be replaced. It was not pns,ible to speak in too high terms of the skill, the industry, and gallantry of the Officers is this corps. He would next advert to what might be considered as as infant service, which had, how ever, arrived at a state of matiliond —he meant the rocket corps. For this service, and for the wonders it had achieved in raising the military character of the country, we were indebted to an Honourable Friend of his, whom, as he did not see in leis place, svi.n;P name, Colonel Corgreve. The Honour able Member then read several extracts from Officers In the army, to shcw the importance of the services which this corps had performed in Spain, and parti. culari; at the passage of the Adour, where 40 men armed with rockets had put tonight 3000 of theeneiny. —The whole of the Officers in this corps would be re tained, but there would be a reduction in the number of men. In the works at Woolwich there bad been' a considerable reduction, and there would have been a greater, but from the necessity of giving m the usual or d e rs, and buying up materials as early the as possible. The whole amount was 464,000, every i shilling of which be thought himself prepared to jus tify. One article under this bead, which it was pro. per to account for, was 416,000 for barracks. The tact was, that these were intended for a new corps of Sappers and Miners, for whom the barracks at Wool wich were pot found sufficient. For dm Royal Pow. , der Mill s th ere w a s a Mtn of it 12,000,,Which aroma •chieffy *orb the improvements ithichtad bteawdopt-i ed in the different mills to previtit explosions. Thfrr had been also great irnprovernenti c and consequently some ex pence . in the ma c hi ner y at Woolwich. Of the magnitude and importance of these works we twilit judge from the quantity of arms ani ammunition which we bad sent abroad Trim the Laboratory at Woolwich, sinte the year 1808, among which were 1384 pieceszt cannon, 30,000 muskets, 77,000 baireis ofienpowder; and in the last year alone StO cannon,l 2(MO barrels of gunpowde, 48 millions of musket cartridges, six millions of 11nts, &c. Among the kn. provements in the machinery were two saws, which had cost from 16 tO £20,000, and which had already created a saving of near 4 1 8,000. After various state ments and details, the Honourable Gentleman con cluded with observing that lie should not have detained the House so long, but that he was urged by a sense of duty to give every iaftirrnation and explanation in his power. Mr. W. SMITH agreed in all which had been said of the merits of the Engineers, but wished much to know what was the expense of the of of that corps for the year ? Mr. WARD clid, the expense of officers was for the last year £54,640. _ _ Mr. BANK ES was sorry to find that a peace esta blishment so large as that alladed to by the Right Hon. Gentleman was to be kept up ; he hoped some : thing more moderate than this proposed establ.iliment would ultimately be adopted. Mr. WARD, (in reply to a qiicsti , nt of Mr. C. Wytian,) said, the estimate for fire-works, including timber and other materials any way attached to them to be used in the Park, was sel:OiK). Mr. W. WYNIIE said, it had lvvn st teed, thlt it was necessary we should k.!el4 up an army Foror. . . . . . tionate to those of the Powers vn the o)inintot. I !.. denied the necessity for Any such measure. The :1.!- vantage which our insular sintAtion gave us was— that we could Always, in time of peace, reduce ow establishment to the lowest standard. Mr. CALCRAF r thottght the teductioa was as great as could be expected. Mr. BANKES protested against. keering up a large Peace Establi.hment. in this country, in opposi. tiott to foreign powers, as a system not nec'ssary, but rui n ous tf, our slf:ty• Mr. CA LC livid as few of the officers of Engineers would be ri.duced hail-pay as possible. The reit of the Resolutions were then put and agreed to. Mr. W. SMITH moved a Resoitit;on for granting ten thous.ind pounds fur erecting a bridge over the Forth at Queen's Ferry ; !ait on the su, , zestion of the Chancellor of the Exehequ?r, he withdrew his motion. The Resolutions were then orderei to be reported to-morrow. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EX. CHEQUER, the second reading of the East India Shipi..ng $•I1 was postponed till to morrow. The Irish Judges' Salaries Bill was read a second time, and ordered to he committed to-morrow. CITY GAOLS. On the recond leading of the London Gaols Bill. M•. I.FORD hoped the Hon. Alderman (Sir W. Curtis) would now have seen, that this Bill would not infringe on -the : C4lll‘tieution of the City of Lon don, as he had dreaded it would. The object of this Bill was to have. other Gentlemen on the Committee for inspecting the City Gaols, besides the Court of Al dermen, and th.)se he proposed to take from the Corn. mon Council of the City of London. Sir W. CURTIS said, that the Court of Ahier men had always paid every attention t:i the state of the Gaols: bat Newgate had lausly been crowded r.ith a greater number of prisoners than it was built to contain. The Hew gaol would soon he ready, and then that would relieve the others in Newgate He then moved that the Bill should be read a scc••ind time this day six months. Sir J. SHAW seconded the motion. He stated, that the Court of Aldermen had voted 2 lb. of meat, without bone, a week, and 14 ozs. of bread a day to each prisoner; an allowance more ample than en joyed by the poor in Yorkshire, Ireland, or Scotland. Mr. M. A. TAYLOR said, there was not a worse regulated prison in the kingdom. The Court of Al deimen might be very good in their way, but it seemed they had not a fancy for managing a gaol— (41 Ayres ) After some observations from Mr. BATHURST and Sir J. ACLAND, the House div;ded—For the second reading '23—Against it 18.— The Bill was then read a second time.—Adjourned at one o'clock. Tt i t 4.; VEN I N‘i S L. LO N DON. TUESDAY, JULY 5, 1814.

We have received Paris Papers of Saturday—A' hiding to the subject of a Treaty of Commerce, the I Gazette de Prance contains the following remarkable passage :—.44 For these twenty years the progress of the cotton manufactories in France has been such, that we have been able to supply all the cotton goods which fotmetly were brought from India, Switzer land; and England ; and 'a!io to supply the wants of the whole Continent from the Adriatic to the Baltic. A single line in a Treaty of Commerce may annihi late all these advantages, teduce to beggars 600,000 workmen in France, and tender us tributary to a fo reign market for the most important of our consump tions. Let us not fear, however, that these weighty considerations will escape the most enlightened of Kings, 2nd the excellent Ministers by whom he is surrounded." The Moniker of Saturday contains no proceedings of the French Senate, or Chamber of Deputies. It is filled with Decrees respecting the reorganisation of the Army, previous to placing it on the Peace Establishment.

The tranquillity of this capital has been disturbed within these few days by the Janizarics. They sur rounded the Seraglio, and demanded satisfaction for the punishm , ..3t of some of their comrades at Widdin. They were finally :in:eased by the Grand Vizier.

The Members of the Cortes, among whom were the most enlightened men of the nation, have fled, and two Deputies have arrived ia town to solicit the interference of t!T Bri• tish Government. Tie picture drawn by them of the Government of FuumNAND, IS mclar.choly in the extreme. Tile Spanish traitors now at Paris continue to re ceive frequent advices of what is passing in Spain,by which it appears that the Edict for the expulsion of all those who served the French cause was not a vo. !many act, but extorted by the clamours of the pub lic ; that Canon EZeoIQUEZ, preceptor of FERDINAND, has resigned his employment, declaring that_ things could never go on well in their present state. The Clergy were preaching all over the country against the Cortes and the former Covernmcnt, and had worked so much upon the public mind, that at Leon and Ct. wostella the greatest excesses were commit tcd ; libraries and all manuscripts were burned. All those persons who had male purchases of church or convent lands, were ordered to restate them without delay, and pay a fine of 10 per cent. ad vieorrn to Government. But what had caused the greatest sen-1 sation of the whole, w.:s the p:ibl;c decl.ratinn of the infant Dos As - rosio, that FEIMINAND is an idiot, and of course incapahle of governing ; a sentiment which may in a p,teat measure account fie a state ment in the French Papers, that important changes u ere soon likely to take place in the Spanish hi*. narchy.
