Consols for Acct. 74K 75 1 /4 % Vs 1/4 The proceedings in the House of Commons last night had ,no interest for that large class of society who look to our Legislature, as they would to a Spouting Club, only to attend to fine speeches, and see the Members pull each other to pieces. But, to those who look to Parliament for matters of real public business, the proceedings were very important. Mr. Hume very properly and severely condemned Ministers for their dilatory conduct with regard to Ireland, and refused to postpone a motion, of which he has given notice, relative to Tithes and Church - Property in that country ; alledging, with great truth, that the severity with which the former are exacted, and the maladministration and distribution• of the latter, powerfully contribute to keep that un: fortunate but fine country in a state of discord and distress. • Mr. NIABERLY followed Mr. HUME, and accused the Ministers of giving an unusual notice relative to repealing the Assessed Taxes, in order to attract the attention of the Public from those larger reductions which it was possible to make, and which . they had a right trrchaim. Some of the f.►cts be stated relative to the depreciation of property are of great import ance, as shew•ing the proportionate reduction in taxa tir.l, and the value of property generally. If, as he says, the latter be diminished in value 50 per cent. *bile taxation has only been reduced 8 per cent. on the whole amount, we have a tangible cause brought before us for the difficulties and distresses of one part of the commutlity. In previous columns we have given extracts from the French Journals of Saturday and Sunday, as well as from private letters of those days, which have been received by express. Whatever hopes might have been entet tained, that the fit mness of the British Go. vernment would have arrested the mad career into which the BOURBONS are plunging, they must now vanish ; Loots XVIII. and his Ministers have passed the Rubicon, and on their heads be the guilt and the blood which must flow before the contest is over! In the Chamber of Peers, the Address in answer to the Speech of the King of FRANCE, was opposed by a 'strong minority ; but in the Chamber of Deputies, which is the direct creation of the Ministers, the war party was much stronger, although it was doubly censured—the extreme Ultras blaming the. Ministers for not going to war sooner, and the Liberal party condemning them for going to war at all. General FOY proposed an amendment, beseeching the KING, that whatever might be the results of the war, that he would not suffer France to be polluted by foreign armies; but, however desirable such an assurance was, it was one which poor old Loots could not give, since, according to an admission of M. de Vu.Late, France must receive her instructions from the Autocrat of the North, and his brother worthies of the Holy Alliance. This confession was made by the Minister when he was blamed for suffer ing so long a time to elapse without declaring war, as it enabled the Spaniards to organize their means of defence : To which M. de Vit.tat.E replied— " At the time when it is pretended Spain was - with out defence, nothing in France was ready for the at tack. By acting imprudently and with precipita tion, there would have been a risk of exposintthe life of King FERDINAND. Everything which cOul. b e d on e against the Constitutional system was done. It was difficult to supply the extravagant demands f or men and money made by the Chiefs of bands ; bat assistance was given them, insurrection was stirred up wherever it was possible. But, much as he ap peared to be inclined to peace when war was not possible, so much was heAlisposed for war, now that a hundred thousand men were assembled at the foot of the Pyrenees, and new that h was necessary to at tack the South in order 'to escape from the North:' That France has been acting in the most treacher ous manner towards Spain--that she has excited sue fostarnd rebellion in that countsy, we have long knowas and then asserted ;btit we did not expect that a Ml i *Mr of Franke would make a merit of his treachery. 'insuivection was stirred op wherever it was pos- ," says Si. deNts.Las.a t• and that, too, at a time when he was professing a decided 'opposition to a war on Spain, and pretending to settle the dispute by negociation. With what indignation must such an avowal be received by the British Ministers, who have been equally imposed upon by the French Government, and what neutrality can we keep in such a war—a war undertaken by Despotism to overturn the rights of nations in general, and in particular the liberties of a people whom it is our proud boast to have defended against a more powerful enemy? The Constitution under which Spain is now governed might almost be said to be of our own creation ; it was at least esta blished under our own auspices, and has been sanc tioned by solemn treaties; and although we deprecate war, yet we are persuaded that in such a cause Great Britain has nothing to fear. The destinies of nations rest upon her decision at this moment; and in op posing the tyranny of the Holy Alliance and protect ing Spain from despotism, we should not only be advocating the cause of justice and humanity, but the cause of our own country; for our free institu tions are as much the object of hatred and hostility with the despots of Russia, Austria, and Prussia, as the Cortes of Spain. Another important admission made by M. de Vtt.- LIME is, that France is going to war to save herself from Russia. With what indignation must every true Frenchman hear of such an avowal. France, that ' under every Prince, save Louts XVIII. was great and powelful—France, thlt under NAPOLEON, ruled over the whole ofContinental Europe, that said to one King, go and he goeth ; to another, come and he corneal— that France, now acknowledges herself prostrate at the feet of Russia! How the Holy Allies will chuckle at such a con fession f: am M. de VILLELE. A L EXA NUM, FRANCIS, and Fit roentcc WILLIAM, who a few years ago were driven into holes and corners—who erotiched to NA- Potrox, and asked to be saved frotis atinslikticas as a boon, :may wellassume a high tone when France is thus humbled ; but how is she humiliated ? not for the want of physical energies or resources, though those energies are paralyzed by the imbecility and the odious conduct of the Government. No I the fact is, that Louts XVIII. knows he does not possess the con fidence of his subjects: he knows:that the Bouasons have outlived the liking of the French, and from the fear of a're-iction,he becomes the cat's-paw of Ras sta.: and would, topreserve his rattOli,o4 the Throne, make France and Spain one vast charnel-house: and yet they talk of the life of FERDINAND, and the sainted-blood of the BOURBONS, as if that of whole nations were to biiacrificed for its preservation. We trust that our Government will no* be roused to a sense of its duty—a duty it owes to the People of England, to the national character, and to the in terests of the civilized world; for the liberties of which we have al ways boasted ourselves the defenders whenever they •might be attacke.4.,..,Qpr Misisters now are unfintered by the policy of PITT, they have nothing to do with the degrading -•eoncessions of CASTLEREAGH; who, to sue a favourite phrase of his own. stood prOstrate" befoie theliOrY Allies. -Let, then, Great Britain declare this, if. the Peninsula is attacked, we shall range ourselves ip its defence ; and though France may seem to 'have gone too far to recede, we shall infuse such a Spirit into the Spaniards as must shorten the struggle. But even should we be involved in war, and what ever part we may now take we shall sooner or later be involved in it,• it would neither be unpopular, in glorious, nor ruinous to this country. GEORGE the FOURTH may theref6re adopt the language used by NAeoI.EON in his letter to his late MAJESTY, and say Peace is the wish of my heart, but war is not con trary to my glory." states that the Portuguese Government has ofereJ to send 30,000 men to the assistance of Spain, and that orders have been given for ail the slisphSable troops to march to the frontiers of Portugal. The King of PORTUGAL has sanctioned the.Docree of the Cortes, which declares all the Provinces of Brazil which have spontaneously submitted to the Government of Rio de Janeiro, in a state of rebellion. 'ln consequence of this Decree, the functions of the Representatives of those Provinces in the Lisbon • Cortes are suspended. We this morning received a Flanders Mail, bring ing Brussels Papers up to February 6. A project of a law for regulating the tax on licenses to exercise certain professions, was agreed•to on the 3d, in the Second Chamber, after a long debate. On the sth of February, the Prince of ORANGE gave a most superb fete at Brussels, at which a party of English represented some of the characters of Ivanhoe. The dance they executed was much admired. Prince CARNERO, Charge d'Affaires of his Catholic Majesty at Vienna, has addressed a letter to Cardinal Rurro, President of the Council of Ministers to the King of the Two Sicilies, on the subject of his being passed over, when the whole Diplomatic Corps at Vienna had the honour to be received by his Sicilian Majesty. . • Papers from Frankfort, of the sth of February, announce various movements among the Russian troops in Poland. From Ancona, of January 13, it is said that the Persians have refused the offers of large sums of money to retire from the neighbourhood of Bagdad, and that, at Alexandria, it was believed they already occupied Bagdad. Their progress is regarded with a favourable eye, and the Pacha cf EGYPT is said to be on the eve, should they continue successful, to de clare himself independent.
