Mr. WARDLE said, that he should vote for the release ; and he trusted that, on a future day, he should be able to prove to the House the truth of the opinion which be had entertained all aleng, that the House had no power to commit. Mr. CROKER could not see any reason why the present case should he determined in a manner dif ferent from what appeared to be the established usage of the House on similar occasions. He could not see that this case stood on more favourable circumstances than other cases, and therefore he should vote against the motion, merely on the ground of conforming to established precedents, and to the usage of the House. Mr. BANKES observed, that the House were called upon to do no less than to depart from an un interrupted line of precedents. At what time too were they so called upon ? At a time when those privileges were questioned, essential to the constitu tion of the House of Commons, without which it could not exist ; without which it could not resist the encroachments of the Crown, or protect the privileges of the people. He had no disposition to press for a too severe punishment upon the offender ; but what great thing was it that he was required to do ? He was required merely to approach the House with that due humility which was proper for a person in.his situation. What was the peculiar merit of Mr. Gale Jones that the House should do that in this case which they had never done before ? He could not conceive that under such citsumstances it was unjust. to refuse to liberate any one. The fault was the in dividual's own. Above all, he deprecated the success of the motion at such a moment as the present, and -conjured the House riot to accede to it. Mr. H. ADDINGTON, adverting to the able statement of the Right Hon. the Speaker, observed, that the generality of the cases adduced by that high authority might probably differ from the case of Mr. Gale Jones. The individuals to whom those cases referred, had perhaps been committed to Newgate without having expressed any contrition. Now as he understood (for he was not present) Mr. Gale Jones expressed his contrition at the Bar in a most decent auk becoming manner. It was not common to commit after the expression of such contrition. At the same time he would say, that had he been present he should have voted for the committal of Mr. Gale Jones, not as a punishment, but as an example to deter others from the commission of similar offences. Mr. Jones's vies Tore contrition was a. sort of petition that he might not be sent to Newgate at all, and rnight be considered as a petition virtually continuing to the House to release him at their pleasure. Think ing the punishment that Mr. Gale Jones had under gone sufficient, he should vote for his release. Mr. OWEN contended, that justice required that the House should regard their own privileges, and that Mr. Gale Jones ought to present a petition be fore they could agree to his release. It was not im probable that former Parliaments considered the pre senting of a petition as a part of the punishment of the offender. Mr. W. WYNNE was the last man who would werken the privileges or authority of the House, but the adoption of the present motion would not in his opinion endanger either. With • respect to the case of General Clavering, which had been alluded to, he had abstained from moving the release of General Clavering before the end of the Session, because he conceived that it would be a lighter punishment to remain in prison a month longer than he might have done, than to be brought to the Bar of the House and receive a reprimand from the Chair. He regretted the day that had been selected for this motion, but when he considered that if it were not adopted to-day it could not in all probability be brought forward again for a fortnight ; when he also Ironsidered that the punishment of Jones had been sufficient for his offence (which was one that he had no hesitation in declaring deserved punishment), he could not with hold his consent from it. Mr. ADAM notwithstanding what had fallen from an Honourable Gentleman on the floor (Mr. Bankes), Was yet inclined to doubt whether the rule requiring petition previous to enlargement, was a rule invari ably obserired. He apprehended that there had 'been instances of liberations without petitions, but this he would not take upon himself to assert posi tively. It was however an usage, and then the ques tion was, whether it was an usage amounting to a law? if it was an usage amounting to a law, then it brought down the right of commitment to a right of committing for contempt in the narrowest sense— contempt in the narrowest sense was physical obstruc tion, in that case the person committed was neces. satily bound to acknowledge his offence as a security against the repetition of it. here then the regula tion might be said to be inveterate law, but then there were constructive obstructions respecting which the House in the exercise of their judgment had a wider latitude of discretion. The exercise of that discre tion must, of course, vary according to the circum stances of different cases ; they did not question the right of the privilege itself, nor at all weaken it by such a variation, since the discussion was not upon the existence of the privilege, but upon the extent and de-, gree to which it had been violated, and he thought that their not being tied down to a strict observance of. the same uniform proceedings in all cases, rather strengthened than weakened their privileges, whereas the confining the breach to the narrow ground of a mere contempt, was taking out of the ckss of constructive obstructions, and reducing to that physiealobstructions nierely. If, then, the case now before them was not one of these, but a constructive obstruction, then the question was reduced to one of distributive justice, and looking at it in the light of a question of distri butive justice, he bad no hesitation to say, that the arguments of the Right Honourable and Learned Gentleman (the Master of the Rolls) were unanswer able. If then it did appear that justice was in favour of the motion, what was to deter that House from acting justly ? He thought, for his part, that it would shew more courage to do their duty openly and in de fiance of vulgar calumny, than to be deterred from it by the fear of being afraid—they had demonstrated their power not to be at all afraid of committing their authority by the liberation of Mr. Jones. He should suggest, however, to his Learned Friend the propriety of substituting Wednesday in his resolution in place of Tuesday, on account of. the popular meeting to be tad on that day in Westminster Hall. Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY readily acceded to the 1-ggcstion of Mr. Adam, and varied the wor4ipg of his Resohnion tabtdingly. He couTd -not as easuy accede to the suggestion of a Right Hon. Gentleman respecting the inserting in the Resolution a requisi tion of that submission from Mr. Jones, which he (Sir Samuel) had frankly declared the House, in bis humble judgment, had not any right to exact. He thought it necessary, however, to- read from the Jour nals what was there recorded respecting that submis sion. It there appeared, that Mr.. Jones had, when called to the Bar, expressed his sorrow for having erred therein. He said that he did not rise to add any thing to the strong arguments brought forward in support of his motion, but to observe upon one or two indirect insinuations which had been thrown out against his motives in bringing forward this motion. It had been said, in allusion to the Westminster Meet ing that was to take place to-morrow, that the oppor tunity had been anxiously wished for oreagerly caught at. If any man thought that he (Sir Samuel) could be so influenced in that or any other proceeding, to that man he would not condescend to justify himself (Hear, hear.) He could not have foreseen, when he had early given notice of this motion, that it wouldnot have come on till then. Neither could he, with propriety, have consented to postpone it till after the recess, as that would be delaying for three weeks from the time first fixed upon for the enlargement of the person, in case the'House should then agree in his motion. This was no trifling consideration to a man in such ill health ' as he understood Mr. cones to be. Another considera tion in favour of bringing on this discussion rather ',e -1 fore than after the meeting at Westminster was, that he could not be certain that there might not be Re solutions proposed to which he (Mr. Jones) was not at all instrumental. He might yet suffer in conse quence of the nature of such Resolutions, making it rather a delicate matter to submit that proposition to the House. Sir Samuel then proceeded to argue briefly that there was no invariable rule requiting petition on the part of the prisoner, since the warrant stated simply " during pleasure ;" whereas, was that the rule, it ought to contain also the words " and until the said prisoner has submitted to the House."— Another thing that shewed the usage not so general was, that different Gentlemen did not agree among each other as to the forms of the practice—as whe ther the petition should simply express sorrow ; or also confess guilt, and acknowledge the justice of the punishment. A Right Honourable Gentleman had denied that the punishment was sufficiently severe.— This was not to be argued upon—it was matter of feeling. He had also been charged with sophism, and a blow had been given by anticipation to Bills now pending, and in the success of which lie acknow ledged he telt a lively interest. The principle on which they had been founded was said to be a sophism, but he felt consoled by the assurance that whatever were their merits the House would not prejudge them. —(Near.)—But it had been said that the pu nishment for contumely, was a punishment for an offence in addition to the first, and that it was in Mr. Jones's power to terminate that punishment.— There was a law once very prevalent in different parts of the Continent, and he believed now existing in some countries, that no malefactor condemned for a capital offence should be executed before he had confessed his crime, and this confession was extorted by the torture rack. The cases of Clavering and Sandon had been relied upon, but they really ap peared as cases that ought to have been cited, in or der to sliew the injustice of such a rule—Sandon was committed for prevarication of a very gross and wanton nature—the other was committed tor preva rication by no means so aggravated. Sandon sent in an abject petition, acknowledging his guilt, and was forthwith discharged ; the other continued a prisoner the whole of the Sessions, rather than say that he was conscious of prevarication. He might plead confu sion of understanding, and so far comparatively re deem his character. It had been said, that the pu nishment was, after all, limited, as he must be en larged at the end of the Sessions ; but this meant rather that their power was limited, not the punish ment, for the King was not bound to prorogue a Par liathent, and thus the liberty of the subject was trans ferred to the power of the Crown. and was that a state in which the criminal jurisdiction of that House ought to remain ? He concluded by a solemn decla ration, that if he were in the situation of Mr. John Gale Jones, lie would sacrifice his liberty, highly as he valued it, before he would conserit to purchase it by a pitiful retractation of his real sentiments, com promising his character, and violating his integrity. The House then divided, when the numbers were, For the Motion 112--Againbt it 160—Majority against it 4S. • %II Vl44liall a 1. , %, 11. 47LOUVG all, Ll‘' of the motion at such a momer -conjured the House riot to accec Mr. H.

Mr. WHITER E wished to know, now they had reached the I 6th of Apr il , in what state of foiwardness the arrangements were at the Stamp Office, which were to have been completed in the present month ? If they were not likely to be completed be fore May, be should make some motion on the subject. Mr. WHARI ON replied, 'that when hr carve into office he was told, that though the business was complicated, it might be got through with by April. In answer to his renewed inquiries, he had been infoinied It could nut be arranged as early as was expected. Mr. WHITBREAD then gave notice that he would make a motion on the subject shortly after the holidays. He must say, that if the business had been let about as an individual would go about his own conc4ns, it would have been completed long ago. it6tI•IITTEE OF SUPPLY. The House having resolved itself into a Committee of Supply, Mr. WHAR I ON, alter some observations, moved that sum (not exceeding 4:548,481) be granted for the expellee of barracks. '1 he excess above the vete of last year, he observed, was occasioned by fitting up the building at Winchester, called the King's House, as barracks. Mr. CALCRA mated, that there were outstanding debts against the Barrack Board for upwards of five yearb.lt appeared on the face of the accounts, that out of the vote of last year there were £248,000 nut expended. He wished to know what became of that money ? • Mr. WHARTON (across she Table)-- It bas been carried to the account of the Army Ertraordittaries." Mr. CA i.t.:RArr said, that since the year 1794 no les* than thirteen millions had been voted for barrack experces. Out of these, eleven millions only had been expended conformably to the Resolutions of the House. Was be to understand that the surplus bad been applied to the payment of die Army Extraordi naries ? Mr. PARNELL wished to be informed what part of the enor mous defalcation, £ 106,C00, due from General Delancey, had bees paid ? He also was anxious to ascertain whether the advice of the Commissioners of Military Inquiry had been adopted, which recommended that the Architects and Surveyors of Bar racis should be paid by specific salaries, instead of a per centage upon the amount of the stutis expended. Mr. WHARTON said, in answer to a question put, that the pension of General Delancey bad been employed In liquidation of the debt or deficiency of £106,000; General Delancey being in solvent. The Commissioners were, however, moue anxious in following up Inquiries against Mr. Lavison and other Sub-Ac colgta.no, who are splyenr, ant!

WHARTON moved, that a spinet exceeding £1,250,000 should be granted for defraying the offences of the Commissariat Departmtet. Mr. Parnell, Mr. Fonsonby, and Mr. Whitbread objected, that there were • so few vouchers for so large a sum of stoney. Mr. Wharton, Mr. Foster, and the Chaucellor - of the Exr-he quer, said, the e stimate was made up in the usual way, and the items and vouchers wereibe same as they had ever been. A conversation of some length took place on the propriety of granting £17,000 for the draining of bog lands in Ireland. Mr. Foster and the Chancellos t of the Exchequer contended, that the advantages were likely to be so great as to make it well worth the advance of each a sum. - Mr. PON4ONEY thought the risk would be very great, and that so large a sum of the public money ought not to be to em ployed. There wig 1 sum of £5OOO voted last Session for simi lar purpolle, and no account had been given of the manner in which it had been expended. The Resolutions were then read and agreed to.—Adjourned.

We mentioned some time ago the bad health of Admiral Lord COLLINGWOOD. Our intelligence, we have reason to fear, was but too correct. The Prin cess Amelia packet, which has arrived at Falmouth with a Mail from Malta, was informed by an English frigate, with which she fell in soon after leaving Malta, that his Lordship had died on board his own ship, the VILLE DE PARIS, and that his body had been sent to Gibraltar. By the Princess Amelia we have received the very pleasing intelligence that Ceuta is at length in our possession.—We pledge ourselves for the truth of this information, as we have it from our regular Corres pondent at Gibraltar: ~ GIBRALTAR, MARCH 17.. " The storm on the night of the 7th inst. though it did much damage to the shipping in the neigh. bourhood, was not attended with the loss of any lives. Several ships were dismasted by running foul of each other, and '22 were driven on the beach at. Land-port. The greater part of them will be completely lost. " The most valuable are the English brig Char lotte, from Rio Janeiro to this place, with bark and sugar—part of the cargo saved, vessel condemned ; and the Nancy, belonging to this port, bound to Malta with a general cargo, great part of which is saved, the vessel bilged. 46 The English brig Dragon, Sicilian polacre Feli cite, American schooners Nimble, and Sea Gull, will be got off. Several of the floating stores belonging to the merchants of the Garrison are driven on the beach, where they remain without injury, and will be got off the next spring tides. 44 The Portuguese ship Victoria, and the Spanish ship Amelia, from Alicant to London, with wool, struck in four and a half fathoms water. The for mer received no injury ; the latter unshipped her rud der, and has continued to teak ever since. We under stand she will be discharged and hove down. 66 MARCH 20.—The insurrection against the French has been extremely successful in all this neighbour. hood. Their parties have been every where dis persed, or cut off by the peasantry. Two Officers of Artillery, Captain COW LEY and Lieutenant MienELL have been sent out from this to head the Peasantry, as they refuse to obey any Spanish Officers, from the general hatred and contempt into which the Govern ment has fallen throughout the country. 44 MARCH 22.—Major-Gemeral FRASER and the 4th Regiment embarked this morning at eight o'clock' for the purpose of reinforcing the garrison of Cadiz. " Mancit 21.—8 y letters from Ceuta - we learn that our troops landed there yesterday morning, where they were received with the greatest cordiality, and were immediately put in possession of the Citadel, so that this most important fortress is now secure from the designs of the French, who have been using every effort for some time past to form a party in that gar rison in their favour. Two officers and twenty-nine French prisoners were sent in here this evening by the Spaniards. 44 MARcn '2s.—The Ville de Paris came into the Bay this morning, with the body of Lord COLLING WOOD, who died on the 7th instant, off Minorca, pn his passage to England. The VILLE DE PARIS pro ceeds immediately to England, after calling at Cadiz." Some accounts were yesterday, received from .Ca diz, which state, that several of the batteries which the French had erected near that place had been. destroyed by a bombardment, and that the enemy had besides sustained a considerable loss in men. On the part of the Spaniards, it is stated, that one of their block-ships opposed to the enemy was blown up in the conflict. A gentleman who arrived in Cadiz by the last vessel from Lima, and who has since reached Lon- don, states, that there is much dissention and differ ence of opinion among the Spanish Americans re— specting their future Government. —At one time there was a strong disposition in the inhabitants of Peru to establish their own independence. It was afterwards resolved that, so long as the mother-coun try should be governed by the Supreme Junta, and that body be able to maintain the sovereignty, they would remain as they were ; but that in the event of Spain being subdued by the invader ) they would then declare their own independence. The Spanish Americans have expressed a strong disposition to have liberty to carry on trade with Eng land ; and the Governdt of Lima, in his last dis patches to the Spanish Junta, is understood to have. solicited permission for the entry into their ports of litiitish merchant ships, which, when our informant ' i r ft Cadiz; was under sonsitleratioN awl expected tQ be complied with. •• r• • ...: . .•~r _~ • • ••,? ibi.•11: . 4 • ' • • • • ••• • •:1 ; A very numerous and respectable Meeting of the Inhabitants of Westminster, assembled in Palace.

The business of the:Meeting was opened by Mr. STURCR, who proposed a string of Resolutions on the conduct of the House of Commons in imprisoning their Worthy Representative Sir FRANCIS BURDETT. The Resolutions were seconded by Mr. WISHART t of Co ventry-oreet. Lord COCHRANE addressed his Consti tuents with great animation. Mr. WARDLE also deli vered bis sentiments at great length. The Resolu. tions were adopted unanimously. Among the spectators, were observed Lord ROSLIN, the Honourable Mr. MAULE, and several other leading Members of both Houses of Parliament, There was -no appearance of tumult or confusion; all the clif ferent avenues leading to the House of Com:ions, [however, were barricaded. • Several parties of Light Horse were parading the adjoining streets, and Palace-yard was well supplied with constables, and other peace officers. • • HAARLEM, APRIL 19.

A measure, which has often Seen recommended in the STAR, and which trattainly promises many benefits to the public service, is now to be adopted in practice. Orders have been sent to Plymouth for a survey, and report to be made to the Admiralty, on the state of the vessels laid up in ordinary at that port, Govern: ment having determined in future to employ vessels of war as transports for troops, instead of hiring colliers and merchantmen, which are not only very expensive but extremely incommodious and ill.aired.
