With reference to making any arrang ement for the debts stated by Isis Hon. and Lea rned Frieed to be unprovided for, be thought it would be much better to wait till they saw what could be realized oat of the foreign pro perty. In the meantime the Grant was made for the payments of tradesmen who really were distressed for their money. In the uncertainty of the value of the foreign property be thought Parliament had acted wisely in restricting the application of the Grant to the most necessitous of the Creditors, by making it for work done and goods furnished. As matter of feeling he was sure his Hon.. Relative and the House would agree with him in that. Dr. LUSHING TON had no doubt that many Hon. Members on his side of the House concurred in the proposition, as to the exact wording of the clause; but he was sure they were not aware of the cons& queuces under that wording, to any one administer ing under legal liabilities. It certainly had been ex pected that when her Majesty became Queen she would have a greater allowancegranted to her. Mr. HUME said, the question was, whether the speeches this Majesty's Ministers did or did not hold out that her Majesty was to have equipage and house, independently, of her £85,000 a-year? He was sure that the Noble Marquis opposite frequently said that these things were granted to her Majesty, pending. the proceedings against her. Resides which, Lord Liverpool, in one of his letters, distinctly stated, that pending her Majesty's trial, the allowance of £35,000 was to be continued to her;' and if it were. intended to subtract the charge of house - rent and carr iages, what right had his nijesty'S Government to send persons, as they did, to treat for them ? The question for the House was, whether the Claims made were just debts or nor? He did not wish to revive any past feeling, but he hoped her Majesty's just debts would be paid. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was willing to admit that the Hon. and Leaned Gentle man opposite had done his best in the administration • of her late Majesty's effects. He confessed he was at a loss to understand how there could be a charge remaining to be paid for carriages, when one of the alyances that had been made was for the express pur pose of paying a demand of that nature. Dr. LUSHINGTON observed, that was for an ad ditional carriage. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said,' that in that case there was no pledge on the part of Government to pay for it. The debts now due were to tradesmen. In consequence of the retrospective grant made in 1821, her Majesty received at one pe nod £30,000. In the course of fourteen or fifteen months her Majesty had got rid of £B7,x; and, knowing her private mode of life, he could not make out in what way she could have dispo , ed of so large a sum, and her debts remain unpaid. The lion. and Learned Gentleman knew that there had been an un limited allowance for her law expenses. In the pre sent state, however, of the case, nothing fut the' could be done. No Amendment had been moved,.and there fore the consideration of the detail the Honourable and Learned Gentleman had made to them must stand over to a future period. But he could not dis• miss the matter thus without earnestly calling upon Parliament to look at the consequences of it, esta blishing the precedent of taking upon itself to pay the debts of the Royal Family. Parliament had always acted towards the Royal Family with the utmost H . berality. But such 'a claim as this had never before been made, and he sincerely hoped that it would be the last—(llear, hear). Mr. Alderman SMI fII testified his opinion of the liberality with which Parliament and his Majesty's Government had acted towards the late unfortunate Queen. Parliament, he thought, would do wisely' to pay her just debts ; but lie must express his sur prise that there were any debts unpaid, after the as sertions on that subject they had heard from some' Iton. Gentlemen on the other side. ALIEN DEPA ItTSI ENT. Mr. W. SMITH, not having had an opportunity before of giving his opinion, could not let that which then offered pass, to observe that, in his opi nion, the expense of the Alien department was too great. He found in a paper on the table of the House, that Lord Sidmouth was of opinion that the business or the Office might be carried on at the Office of the Home Department, and he really hoped that this suggestion of the late Secretary would be acted upon. He found by a late Parliamentary Paper, that the sum of £lBO,OOO of public money went amongst the Members of that House, and he could not conceive that it so circulated without effecting a certain influ ence. de Hon. Member also expressed his regret that the Tithe Leasing Bill for Ireland had passed. Mr. BENNET took that opportunity of explaining the reason why the Report alluded to by his Hon. Friend was so late of being presented. He (Nlr. Ben net) was Chairman of that Committee, but he found the greatest difficulty to get Members to return them- selves as holding places. He had used every exertion to hurry them, but was unable to present the Report ; sooner for the reason he had given. The Appropriation hilt was then read a third time and passed. ADJOIERNHENT. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the Excise- QUER, that the House adjourn, at its rising, to Monday, Mr. BENNET rose to take that opportunity of making a few observations on the proceedings of the past Session of Parliament. He was anxious to do this, because he thought it the only Session produc tive of real advantage to the country, that had been seen for a long time. That House had greatly de parted from its former course. It had listened with more attention and effect to the Petitions of the People. In the present Session the taxes had been lowered to the amount of three millions ; but he, for one, was of opinion that very considerable reductiona must yet be effected. If that was true which heard on all sides, and if the calamity of plenty wit which we were now threatened were not averted, and if, in its place, we were not blessed with a famine to diminish the stock of food now in hand, he knew not what would be the situations of the Nobility and Gentry, and of the farmers and yeomen, who for Years past had been paying the Nobility, not out of the profits realised on the land -awry oeouped, bnt•oot of their Ostia. The Hesse ia this ha. in defiance of; - of _ , the of I of the entreaties, not to thy one of the Postmasters and two of the Admiralty. When the list which had been alluded' to by his HiMourable 'Friend Irilow him made its way into the country, it would be seen that no fewer than seventy placemen„ who might be removed from their situations ;t .the pleasure of the Crown, and were, consequently, ever toady to support the measures of Ministers against what he (Mr. Rennet), thought the true interests of the coon try at large, were:in the bosom of that House—(Fiew.). If Gentlemen looked at the great questions which had been decided, to which the Public had been most *lire, it would be found that this band of chosen Friends and supporters of the Crown amounted to somewhere about the majority which had propped up the measures of the Government, against the wishes of the People. In a future Session he should feel it to be his duty to bring this subject under the consi deration of the House, as he thought that common decency required that seventy placemen, receiving about 130,0001. of the public money, who might be removed at the pleasure of the Crown (he said no thing of those who were differently circumstanced) should not continue Members of that Assembly. Al though be felt in the strongest degree the necessity' of effecting a Parliamentary Reform, he was anxious that it should be known how far that House really represented the Commons of England. The large minority which bad appeared in favour of Parlia mentary Reform, in the course of the present Session (the greatest, he believed, that had ever been known) proved that the weight and influence of the People were slowly and silently working their way ; and al though, to use an old proverb, Reform now might be somewhat like shutting the stable-door when the steed was stolen," it was still satisfactorily to feel that the weight and influence of the Commons of England were really felt within those walls. He congratulated the House on that minority, because he considered the Gentlemen who had voted in it to stand pleerd that they would in future support no Government which did not prove itself friendly to Reform. When this was understood, he was sure the People would cling to those who were disposed to take such a course, and for himself, nothing under Heaien would induce him to give the slightest sup port to any Administration that would not endeavour to purge that House of the corruptions which were in it, and to put a stop to the corrupt practices which, were carried on out of it, against the People at large. He wished, for the time to come, that, instead of the party denominations of Whigs and Tories, Reformers and Anti-reformers should be the only distinctions known in that House. Ministers felt in the present instance the inconvenience of a protracted Session. It had been thus lengthened by petitions; and, ac- 1 cording to appearances, where one petition had been this year presented, next year there would be ten. Ile hoped Ministers, aware of this, would take care that the House should meet early in January, as the only means cf saving them from the necessity of sit- 1 ting early in August. MARRIAGE ACT. Mr. BUTTERWORTH begged to ask a Learned Gentleman opposite how the clause in the Marriage Act Amendment Bill, which required the register of the christening of the parties about to marry, was to operate in the case of the members of a certain reli gious society, who, not having been christened at all, could produce no such resister ? Dr. PHILLIMORE said, the clause in question was not his—it had been supplied in another place ; but it was provided that, where it was stated on oath that the register could not be found, a license might be granted on evidence being given that the parties wets of age. MISCELLANIES. Mr. HUME contended the reductions Made in the ccurse of the Session ought to have been carried much further. What had been done, he thought, with two exceptions, ought to be considered as a boon from his Majesty's Ministers ; but he could have wished that the expenditure had been reduced in proportion as taxation had been diminished. He complained of the course takeU with the agricultural interest. In stead of acting as they had done, it would have been more manly in Ministers to have come forward at once, and said, awe can do nothing for the landed interest, but by adopting measures which would re lieve them in common with the rest of the commu nity." Further reductions must be made. He was far from wishing to break faith with the public cre ditor, but, without doing that, if the Country Gentle. men did their duty, he thought the expenditure would, in the next Session of Parliament, be diminished by from seven to ten millions. Mr. It. MARTIN was surprised to hear the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Bennet) celebrate the triumph of an independent Parliament over Ministers, and in the same speech call for a Reform of that Parliament. —The Hon. Gentleman, in standing up for Reform, proved his own independence, but let him take care that, doing this, he did not neglect to protect his pro perty. If he did, he would have to regret the line of conduct he pursued but once, and that would be from that moment forward in which he saw the' object gained for which he now contended. He (Mr. Martin) declared his own conduct to be as inde pendent as that of any man in that House. He had no place, nor had any of his family been in office. No place had ever been offered to him—( Loire/der). He did not know but he deserved a place as well as some of those who raised that laugh. He, however, never would accept of one, but he would continue to give Ministers his independent support. When the Gentlemen opposite wished to carry a motion of their bringing forward, they always told the Members that they need not be afraid of voting for it, as if they carried it, the present Ministers would not be' ousted. The meaning of this was, gi the People are so afraid of our coming in, that they would rather see the measures of the Noble Lord carried when they do not approve-of them, than witness such a result." That this dread might long continue was his sincere wish. • The Hon. Member for Aberdeen had talked a great deal about economy. Now, it appeared to him that one of the most-effectual means of reform ing abuses was by communing with Minister; in a friendly- may. He was sorry that it had not occurred to thailloa. Gentleman when he sat on the Ministe rial Benches, to whisper to the Members of the Go vernment the importance of making such reforms ai l he now suggested. He doubted not the Hon. Gen tleman did - only what. he thought it his duty tn. do,• but it struck him with some astonishment that it hat LQNDON. THURSDAY, AUGUST 1. 1F22. STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

He Sao gave notice fat himself, that it was his Intention to call die attention of the House to a aikidos relative to Courts of Inquiry.. Mr. HUME gave notice, that unless something was done in I the interim by Government, he would, in the next Session, bring forward a motion on the atihi of Church Property in Ireland. Mr. PRRNDERGAST moved foe the printing of certain Papers, selected from those to which be had called the attention of the House on the preceding evening, in ortter that it might be seen whether they contained anything that could justify the insinuations which had been thrown out on a late occasion against him. Dr. PHILLIMORR thought the Honourable Gentleman bad taken too 001i0111 a view of the subject. lie already stood exculpated, and be, therefore, thought the printing of the docul mots unnecessary.

THE EVENING STAR. PARIS, JULY 28. • There are always enough of men who take rtimou-s for realities. It is thus, that on the first news c 1 the affairs of Madrid, certain Journals arnmencL.d the triumph of the pretended defenders of the fai:::: Ge neral Morillo was their hero. , They are a..va:e, by a etter from Toulouse, of the 22d, that tie Counter- Revolution'had been triumphant at Madrid ; and that it was Morillo who war at the head of the Ccuntcr- Revolutionists, and cried " 4 Long live the King, ani no more!" 44 This excellent news," says the Quot:- dienne,"has come too slowly from Toulouse for being inserted in the paper of the 22. d." If one were to believe that Journal, it has taker .only a few minutes to overtu rn all over Spain the new order of things, which, during more than two years, has gained many defenders among thc., wlro were once its enemies. The last news from Sn'ta make no mention of an event so extraordinary; and which is so absurd AS to contradict itself. If a coun ter-revolution had been effected at Madrid, the first account of it would not certainly have reached Paris by the way of Toulouse. It was but yesterday that the English Ambassador gave a diplbmatic dinner to the Fs ench-and Foreign Ministers, at which no men tion was made of this important news. It rids Ect mentioned in the Chamber; the Madrid co,::er ()I the 18th said nothing of it, and so one naturally ctai eludes that it cannot be true.—Constituticrure!.

ROYAL COURT AT PARIS.-AFFAIR OF ROCHELLE. We published the result of the deliberation of the two Chambers of Accusation and Appeal of Correc tional Police. The following facts were cbtablished by the proceedings ; A secret Society, called the Carbonari, has been organized at Paris, and in several towns of Fiance. Its object is to destroy or to change the present Go vernment ; its means are to excite the discontented to take arms against the Royal authority—its plan ii to foment and combine several partial conspiracies , to cause them to break out at different parts of e:e kingdom, when times and circumstances shad t.l - their success. The Carbonari are distributed into several unions called Ventes (Sales), and there are upper Venks, cen tral Venter, and particular Ventes. The illericr Vente corresponds by a Deputy with that which pre cedes it in the order of the hierarchy, and the whole association is subject to a directing Committee or Provisional Government, which resides at Paris. • A particular wife was found in the 45th lteginte ., t of Infantry of the Line, while it was in garrison in c capital. This vente, which corresponded by its Pre sident with a central vente of Paris, was destined to the execution of a particular plot,which was to brc.t: out according to circumstances and according to the orders of superiors, either in the march of the Nl* menifrom Paris to Rochelle, or durini its stay io this last town, where the regiment arrived in the month Of February kit.
