Resolution was then agreed. to.—.a-"The following sums were 'nen-need, viz. For Half-pay in respect of the Forces hi Ireland - £44,765 For Allowances to reduced Officers - . 60,193 On the question for voting £114,870, for Half-pay of reduced Foreign Officers in the English service, their Widows, and Orphans. Colette! DAVIES said, that an English Officer, on receiving his half-pay, was compelled to sign a certificate, verified by affi davit, that he held no military situation under any foreign Power. This. regulation was enforced by the Foreign Enlistment Bill, Which deprived Officers of their commissions if they entered into military service against the provisions of the Bill. But foreigners in this respect had an advantage over Englishmen ; for there were many instances of the former holding commissions under this Government while they were in foreign service. There was one case of an Officer who held an English commission, and was at the same time a Sub-Prefect of France. The gallant Colonel here read a letter from an English Officer in France, stating that two foreign Officers in military service abroad had been allowed to draw their half-pay uuder their English commissions. He thought some regulation should be adopted to prevent this. A certificate from the Government-under which the Officer resided t answer the purpose. 1 11 .ord PA I. M Elia'sTON said every possible attention was paid to pri vent the practice alluded to. If the gallant Officer would give Wm the names of the two individuals, he would inquire into the circumstance, and, should the statement prove correct, ahoy wank! rt.ctiv.: the puni:htnent which they certainly merited. Similar instances had been mentioned to him, but, on inquiry,' he had always found that the Officers alluded to had not drawn their half-pay. The German Legion were paid under an Act of Parliament passed to recompense their services, and their case, therefore, stood on different grounds. Sir C. LONG said, if the names of Officers in foreign service were given, their half-pay would be stopped. Mr. HUME wished to know why half-pay was given to the Officers of the German Legion who held commissions in Hano ver, when none was given to F.nglish Officers? Lord PA L3IERSTON said, that this took place by special Act of Parliament. The half-pay to the Officers of the German Legion was a reward for past services. Our own Officers could not hold another commission and be on half-pay too, because half-pay was not only a reward for past, but a retaining fee for future services. Mr. H U 3IE said, if this was the case, he hoped thou Officeisl who entered Holy Orders, and who, of course, could not be again called into active military service, would be required to surrender their half.pay. They should not take a retaining fee l for services which they could never perform. Sir C. LONG defended himself from the charge of neglect brought against him by the lion. Member for Aberdeen, and stated that lie had no power by the Mutiny Bill to ask individuals coming to receive half-pay whether they were in Orders or not? Mr. HUME repeated his argument respecting Clergymen re ceiving half-pay. Mr. GOULBURN declared that it would be, in his opinion, a most harsh and tyrannical act to ask of individuals who came to receive half-pay, whether they were in Orders or not; and to compel them to answer any questions that might be put to them relative to their private circutastances. After some observations front Lord NOSMANST, Mr. Gout.- ' can, Mr. Hume, and Lord PALMSESTON, the motion was agreed to. The following Resolutions were then agreed to, without any material observation, viz. £35,675 for In-pensioners of Chelsea; £16,247 for those of Kilmainharn Hospital; 1975,453 for Out pensioners of Chelsea; £214,C00 for those of Kilmainham; £26,200 for the Royal Military Asylum ; £102,627 for Widows' Pensions; £21,449 for those of Ireland; £179,250 for the Com passionate List; £36,932 for the Superannuation List; and 40,606 for that of Ireland. A vote was then passed for 2,690 men for the Irish Veteran Battalions ; and another for £83,176 for paying them. The House then resumed, and the Report of the Committee was ordered to be received on Tuesday. MISCELLANEOUS. Oa the motion of the CUANCELLOS of the Excintneze, it was ordered, that on blonday next the House should resolve itself into a Committee of Ways and Means. Mr. R. WARD gave notice, that on Monday next he should move the Ordnance Estimates. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and at eleven o'Clock the House adjourned. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON.

We have received the French Papers of Wednes day last, from which we make the following extracts PARIS, MARCH 20. The four strangers who were arrested on Sunday, and of whom we spoke in our Paper of yesterday, were not set at liberty till this morning. Among the English merchants arrested, it is said, were two who on the preceding week had given a dinner to the Euvoys from the Republic of Colombia. It is said that a Congress of European Sovereigns and Ministers will soon beheld in Paris, at which the' King of England will meet the Emperors of Russia and Austria and the King of Prussia. It is added that they will consider of the affairs of Greece and other important subjects. According to another account of the event which we mentioned yesterday. it took place at Coucy, near Laon. It was to that little town that about fifty in surgents advanced, while others sounded the tocsin at Coucy, and traversed the streets and markets, ut tering seditious cries. It is added, that three of them have been arrested by the National Guard, and that the others took flight and disappeared in the woods. As the official Journal gives no detail of those events, we must wait for more exact information. ' We learn by the Journal of Niort that the search we mentioned yesterday to discover General Berthon, was made in the woods of La Meilleraye, situated on the road from Parthenay to St. Maixent, and some others. The search was in vain, and it is thought that Berthon has quitted this country. Letters quoted by the Oracle of Brussels say, that Berthon has been seen, with some of his adherents, near Rennes. The Journal of that City does not men tion this circumstance. FRANKFORT, MARCH 14. - - . A corps of 8,000 men, forming the van of the great Turkish army, which is on its march from Constan tinople, has arrived at Braila; this news has been brought to Odessa by an extraordinary courier. A report is spread to-day on 'Change, that a cpm munication of the highest importance has been made to the Austrian Cabinet by the Minister of Russia at Vienna. It was added, that the negociation relative to the affairs of Turkey bad been broken off, and that the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh had definitively de clared war against the Ottoman Porte. It has been said that Count Bual Schauenstein, the Austrian Minister, and President of the German Diet, had proposed to call out several corps of troops, in order to make the system of armed neutrality adopted by the Confederation respected. We can affirm that, at present, this statement is wholly unfounded. Two delegates of the Military Committee of the Diet, Baron de Wogant and M. Eberle, an Officer of the Staff of the Austrian army, who had been sent to Luxemburgh and Rastadt, have returned to Frank fort. The first. was charged to examine the fortifi cations of Luxembargh, which will be considerably augmented; the second has made a report on the difficulties there would be in erecting a fortress at Rastadt, as was proposed. It seems certain that this design will be renounced. • have lately been in circulation here, i then more publicly, and which have at length been, mentioned in public journals, have not the slightest foundation, but, like many others in our times, are the products of idleness or love of novelty."

LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL, FEBRUARY 4. Resolved, That an answer be sent to the Message of the Assembly, complaining of certain words used in the debate in the Hotke on the 25th of January last, by the Honourable John Richardson, a Member of this House, to inform the Assembly that the Legislative Council are extremely dtsirous to preserve a good understanding between the two Houses, and are willing to inquire into the matter of the said Message—hut that the House doth conceive that it is not consistent with the honour of this House, or with the rights of its Members, to proceed upon a presumed breach of the privileges of the Assembly, which the said Message alleges, until the Legis lative Council shall have received reparation from the Assembly for the actual breach of its privileges, by their Address to his Excellency the Governor-in-Chief, praying him to remove the Honourable John Richardson from all the offices and places of honour, trust, or mit, which he may hold under his Majesty's Government in this Province, and thereby censure and punish him for words used by him in debate in this House, where only , a Member of this House, on account of words so used, can be questioned." The latest accounts from the lonian Islands state, that on the 4th instant Sir THOMAS MAITLAND, the Lord High Commissioner, opened the Legislative Session for the present year. Sir THOMAS, in his speech, took a review of the war between the Greeks and the Turks, and of the troubles which have agi tated the lonian Islands. In speaking of the viola• tion of neutrality, and of the measures forced on the Executive Government, he saps—" It will be proper here to call to your recollection the numerous emi grations (particularly from the Islands of Cepha lonia and Zante), of the people of these States; not individually withdrawing themselves without ostenta tion or tumult, to follow their own yarticular fancies and inclinations, but, throwing off their allegiance, they quitted the lonian Islands in the face of clay, with arms in their hands, openly braving the orders and the authority of the Government, to wage war against a Power in profound :unity and peace with their own country, against which they at least had i no ground of complaint." It then states that the Proclamations against clandestine departure from the Islands, were not issued till those flagrant violations of the neutrality had taken place, and till " a regular Manifesto had been published in the Morea, signed by natives of Cephalonia and Zante, declaring them selves the Chiefs and Generals of the united forces of these Islands." The Speech nest adverts to the affair at ?.ante, which is thus represented A Tut kish brig of war, surrounded by Greek cruizers, after resisting their attack, anchored in a bay at the back of the Island, in the vicinity of the town, the population of which, and of the neighbouring villages, had as sembled to witness the naval engagement. A small detachment of an Officer and 20 men were sent to ensure the observance of the sanitary laws on the' part of the Turks, when the people commenced an at tack upon his Majesty's troops, wounding an Officer, killing a soldier, and wounding two others, before they could retreat into a house in which they could defend themselves; and when a reinforcement arrived, the people retired for the time. The troops were em ployed at the moment in the service of the people, to prevent the danger of the introduction of the plague into the island." It appears that the revenue of the Islands had con siderably improved last year. Sir THOMAS MAITLAND is returning to England, for a short time, in consequence of ill health. r. - . :. .• AILLA.CHAPILLE, MARCII 15. The last letters received at Berlin from Warsaw are not of a pacific nature. The reports of war are ru moured with more confidence than ever in the capi tal of Poland. News had been received there, which announced in the most positive manner that the move ments of the Russian armies on the Pruth and Danube were very decidedly assuming an offensive character. The most important military dispositions were making in Bessarabia, and the speedy entrance of the Russians into Moldavia and Wallachia was expected. The Turks, on their side, were preparing vigorously to repel this first shock, and were receiving daily rein forcements at Jassy. The arrival of the Grand Vizier was spoken of, with one hunched thousand men. These are probably the troops which have marched from Constantinople, and which will therefore have advanced in a very short time over a distance of eighty-two leagues. FRENCH Foam—Five per Cents.
