rust deal.- bed been said. s e xy an Honourable Gen-1 opposite (Mr. Grant) last night on the subject of our Colonial..possessions, entorcitig the necessity of t ' ,pig up the military defences and maintaining different authorities in them, at whatever expense, with many such like common-places. Now this to hint was so far from an excuse 'or a large expendi ture in the present circumstances rhe.coutitry, that it ought to he Jilt as art ieducement to give, some of them up. We bad always been too fond of extend ing t h e .E rn ii rn . A s. the,prace of Amiens we had obtained Maito—(Arear, Israr)—aye, Malta ; and at the : conclusioool the present, the logien Islands. and .-many others , had at various times been seized into ..Our possession, not to itnproverthe.:resources of the , country, not to add to our atreagth .or to promote ..:the wealth of older Coluoial "miseries.; but all to tall!. two clatset of nuts, who wete.-to be attend. •ied •to for some zeissou or othert.thowgh the country :'deeply ...aired by such measures.— (hear, hear.)— One st(these tortured oartieaWaS a little body of corn ' aod 'heather of oulitarj men, wll3 were sup ' ported contrary to the &arrests of the old plantens • contrary to the interests of the Ireveni,c, contrary to the ttue welfare of- the country—(lisar, hear.) If acquisitionslwere to be 4 con.tant load upon our shoulders—if they cannot maintain themselves, let . Parliament at once dictate to the Crown to give them . tap; the country has iucumbrences enough without them,. aod as.there was an anxiety on the other side of ttte water toobtain Colonies, why to t make. some of, our that were worse than useless to us. the pre mium for commercial treaties, which would essen tially.proapaste the vital energies and restore-the pros jserity of the nation—(Nw, keer.) Let the country then get rid of these miuhrouns growths, of Dutch origin, Which were of no value except to Liverpool, • 'and tome othersischis, and not retain them to the an . noyaoce and ruin of the old trader. Much had. been said on'tbe stibjeCt of the disturbances which had oc. Cerrtd, and the disposition among the people to itio leaCe disorder. The assemblies of the people hid Wen:represented as having no other object, than thit of increasing the discontent which a state of ex tiente distress naturally engendered; it was yet to luCdemonstriateeby something better than mere as 'lemons, that this was the fact, and he hoped the House would mark with is reprobation, every a tempt at misrepresentation and delusion —(Mar.) He Must beallowe'd to express the indignation which .Weairkcited in his mind. by the tango ige which thyy lild*.beard applied to public meetings, which declared _ ttsrthey were held for the purpose-of producing a ItiVtAllii lie it was a gross slander. upon the feelings 'orthe People and the conduct which. they had main titow iii times of unexampled trial arid . difficulty ; toe did he feel lets astonished and indignant at the • new doctrine, that the' people do not understaud their gnivanees; that though they see and feel tie distress ' ffi the most pressing manner, yet it is a saint moth above' their comprehension.—(Hear, 4ear.)-- Aed riho was it-who outraged common sense and pub- Ile these.

He was the deciged enemy to every assof delusion out of doors, and regretted as and as sincerely as any man in that House the vtobnices which had taken place. There were , eiroosiclits opinions afloat, but be believed the people wets nut affected by them to any considerable ex tent. •To ascribe the disturbances to the efforts . which were making to obtain Parliamentary Reform, was as unjust, as to assert that tie want of that Re hire' was the only source of all the mischiefs with whith the consul was now afflicted. Many of the ' eaffetings were obviously the result of an enormous debt, and an amount of taxation, which the country andel not support ; them were subjects which the Moose should attend to without delay, and it the Cemmittee which had been talked of were to act un der the instruction which he had suggested, and =Member would set himself heartily to the wink, good might be effected.—The Learned Gen. ileiaas, after apologizing for the length of time which he had occupied their attention, sat down amid the dieters of the Movie. • Mr. CANNING, in rising to address the House, felt that the present was a most important crisis: he • was aware with the Learned Gentleman who bad .jot sat down,. that tube difficulties of the present too- Meng were great and *tattoos, and it was them fore that be should tales the liberty of claiming for Masa nod his colleagues, the right of as strong a &eligibility to the distresses and penis of the country at way doe' present. Important were the decisions of that House at the commencement of the late war, when the country was threatened with a tremendous h e ady abroad, and treason at home ; important were its &Maims when the reward of a long and dreadhd eopSist was snatched from their bands, and they bad to determine, whether their efforts should be renewed reconqup the security and happiness of Europe I bet their deliberations were not more important then than .they are stew.—(Near}...The state of. the country rendered it their ditty tocariy to the foot Id the Throne the sincere declarations of boy . shy mid. attachment, and their &Indetermination to Mind by. the Gown. and maintain its inviolability.— To him it appeared essential to •the peace of the COIMIIST that this spirit should be sbewn to pervade that House ; and, entertaining such sentiments, be could not but regret that an auempt bad been wale in predate a theism of opinions. and weaken the aka of the.** proceedings of the Session.

(Lear I .eries of Hear, hear, hear.):.- The Learned Gentleman had made a very uncere- . monious attack upon h's Honourable Friend (Mr. Banker) because he did not assume the tone of de spondency prescribed by the Gentleman opposite— , because he would not join them in creating a dis onian of sentiment, but honestly acted from the dic tates of his own judgment. The House would see .in this instance how much a spirit of independence was, valued in a certain quarter. • 'the .Honourable •Ddember, who sometimes votes with Ministers, and -sometimes against them, but always 156 his conscience dictates, is abused itad reviled because he takes the liberty of dissenting from. their opinions, and is slan dered with the suspicion of entertaining feelings which he dare not avow. The Gentlemen oppwite take upon themselves an exclusive regard for the dis tresses of the people ; but he would maintain that he and his fiieads had as Jeep an impression of their magnitude, and as strong a desire to afford every possible relief, as any man could profess to have, who wished n) establish his popularity on the people's sympathy.— (Hear, hear.) The Honourable Gentle man who bad opened the debate that evening had been good enough to say, that if the Government would take the business of retrenchment and reform into their own hand's, earnestly and indefatigably, he would not persist in his opposition to them: but, un lortuaately, he was for putting Ministers to too wirers a test, for the dirt[ asses and the causes which produced 'them could nut be removed within the time to which he had limited their exertions. He hoped he should have full credit, for the declaration, that they were ready to attend to every seggeetioa which was made with a view to remove the prentiretunder which the country laboured. and the Learned Gentleman oppo site (Mr. Preston) could vouch Ric the truth of this. Ministers had attended to his information . Ca pro ? , pools, and - to many others, but the difficubies in the way of every plain of immediate relief were insuper able. The Learned Gentleman (Mr. prong' am) had moderated the opinion of the Honourable Mover of the Ameadasent, who held that taxation was the cause of the public sufferings—but, there was a greater diversity of opinions than theirs—he had read a pamphlet, very ably written, and Containing a com prehensive view of the subject. Mr. P. had stated thirteen causes of distress, and it so happened that taxation was only one of theni—many, lie thinks, not likely to be removed for some time, and he professes to have foreseen that the distresses would still go on increasing. is not this a presumption that they could not be prevented, and that Ministers were not ac countable fur their ekstence ? It was their duty cer tairtly. and they would gladly perform it, to render .every effort to reduce the' public burthens, and be might now state, without. anticipating the debate. to *lnch the subject would shortly be submitted, that in the military establishments the reductions will be carried as tar as is consistent with the publi: safety; and as to the Colonies, they have their price ; give them up, and the loss would be known ; but the country bad. no price, it must not be endangered or despoiled of any thing which was necessary to its safety, peace, and happiness--(Hear, hear, hear.) Ministers were ready to propose their estimates for a time limited within the Session, so that they might be revised if expedient before Parliament separated... (Hear). •••• The Learned Gentleman (Mr. Brougham) maintains that the close of the American and the late war 'are not similar to each other, that there is no parallel betwe4n them, and why ? because the expen ses of that vial required the imposition of a conside rable amount of new taxes in the first years of peace, and thete were no new taxes to be imposed nowt but it required all the'Learned Gentleman's ingenuity to intake this a topic of despondency Hear, hear, hear.) But he would remind the House that in the first year of the late peace, there was a reduction of one (earth ut all .the taxes This WAS AO parallel certa)nly— (fliar,'lrear.)With respect to what had been going on out of doors, he did not deny that the people as sembled to petition at Spa-fields : but Were were also some who went there with a waggon loaded with am munition, and he had yet to learn that such were the necessary instruments o f petition (Heat, hear.) — The demagogues who inflame the minds of the lower 'orders by their harangues, leave them in a state of irritation, to go home to their warm and abundant comforts, alter stimulating rebellion as a duty, and stigmatising charity as a crime.—(lfese, hear.) —No man, who was a Mbtian, could withhold his sym pathy from the poor matures that were suffering dif. fiulties and privations, but be thought with an Ho nourable Member, who spoke last night, that redact due was not an unmixed good, as it would throw , 'umbers out of employ, thus adding to the numbers 'elf the wretched and tbe destitute. The Learned Gentleman who had preceded him talked Of oor Military preponderance as an engine to promote' our Commercial Interests at the time -when the labi treaties were aegioistid. He was surprised that he, a Statesman, and political economist,ahould think of relaxing during the war, or disregarding in the settle meat of a peace, OAS political advantages for the sake of commercial ones. We had secured Peace, exten sively and permanently, which was the parent of Commerce—(Hear, hear.)—All the questions relating' to the Colonies bad been previously discussed, and to have introduced any demands for commerci a l advantages, would have produced discontent and disunion in that mighty confederacy by which the wonders of our deliverance were achieved.—(ll;ter.) The Poor Laws were certainly in a state requiring the serious attention of the Home, and I e hoped that some mode might be proposed during the pie e at Senion. to render them less partial And oppressive.— As ',Parliamentary Reform, Os the Speech did not touch upon that subject, he would gladly avoid it, till the question comes regularly betire the House r npua the motion of the Honourable Baryon (Sir Fraacis Burdett). He would then meet his motion, not with new plans, alterations, or modifications, Inn he would meet it by a decided denial of the grievance. (Heuer. hoar.) The indent system of representation was sufficient for the State, and he denied that any thing existed in our history to guide them to a better.

The Address to the Pewit, in answer to the Speech from the Throne, WAS voted in the House of Peers last night without a division. In the COM moos it was carrisd by a Majority of 152, the num bers being 264 to 119. The debates in both Houses were protracted to a great length. Indeed it was late before the Commons could resume the discussion ors the Address ► owing to the time required for the de- livery of Petitions on the subject of the State of the Country ; some of which gave rise to several inte resting observations.

Atter a few more observa tions,. the Right Honourable Gentleman sat down amidst the cheers of the House. Mr. TIERNEY said, the Right Honourable Gen tleman had given the House an opportunity of bear ing a very eloquent speech ; but it was a complete •• transition" from the subject before the House. He denied that a beginniqg with Parliamentary. Reform must lead to universal suffrage. He defended the Amendment, as the Address tended to establish a gross delusion in the minds of the people. He then entered upon a long financial statement, to shew that the incense of the present year could not pnssiblyex ceed 4.5,400010, and that if the Sinking Fund were annihilated to-morrow, we shuuld be obliged to bor row upwards of 43000,000 for the current services. As to the Consolidated Fund, he doubted whether by next,lttly, it would be able td pay the charges upon it. Thus was a frightful but a true picture of a great country reduced to misery by the unexampled system of estravaganc'e pursued by its Government.-- Where, he would ask, had the head of any depart ment suffered He defied Ministers to shew that one great man has been sacrificed. Having criticised the recent appointments and compensations made and granted to. different individuals, he strongly insisted that Ministers were not friendly to economy, but on' the contrary were so much addicted to extravarsn:e, that they were t)QtAO be trusted for half an hunt out of sight of the House. He ridiculed the proposed inquiry, and said the Committee on the Revenues and Expenditure of the country, was not that which was wanted. and which the nation had a milt to demand. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER contended, that though our commerce was not in a floutirhing state, our situation by no means justified the gloomy view taken at the subject by the Gentle men opposite. The House divided—For the original Address, SIR—For the Amendment, 112—Majority, 152. When we were again admitted, we found Lord Cochrane proposing a new Amendment, which stated, 44 that in all the Meetings which had taken place on the subject of Parliamentary Reform, the House had not discovered any attempt to break the public peace." No person was found to second the motion, and the SPEAKIIII observed, there was no question before the House. The question for carrying up the Ad dress was then agreed so, end at Half-past Three the House adjourned till Friday. I.
