fit for all useful and practicable purposes. The Hon. Member seemed to have arrived at a sort of candid state of mind—(Laughter)—and he would certailf.y appeal to him whenever he wanted an historiographer of the by-gone Se , ion of Parliament— (Laughter).-r- 1 He had given great credit to the Honourable Mem ber for Aberdeen, on account of the reform n hich had taken place with respect to Receivers-General of the Land Tax ; but he (the Marquis of Londonderrx)- ruust here put in a little caveat, because this reform was determined on by Ministers before the Honour able Member fbr Aberdeen submitted his motion to the House—(A laugh).—With respect to the question of &amps, he hoped the Honourable Member would vie,. the conduct of Ministers, on that subject, with the same satisfaction with which he looked at their proceedings towards thelleceivers-General of the Land Tax. The Honourable Gentleman had now found out, that the two Addresses to the Crown which had been proposed on a former night, were nearly equal in their object; but he did not go so far as the Ho-' nourable Member for Aberdeen, who, after due ie flection, had discovered that the Address suppoi ted by Ministers was much better than his own!—(A laugh).—lt appeared from this circumstance, that the two sides of the House were at length coming to a good understanding. The Honourable Member had, however, complained on various occasions, that, not vithstanding his efforts and those of his friends, not a shilling had been saved to the country. His con solation, under all his defeats, had been, that a great deal would be effected in the next Session. He could assure the Honourable Member, that Ministers felt a most anxious desire to reduce the public expenditure as much as they possibly could; and if the Honour able !Member and his friend , . came to the discussion next Session with the same temper which they had displayed that evening, it would certainly turn out a far more agreeable Session than he had found the pre sett to be—(A Mr. BROUGHA M said it must certainly give great satisfaction to the Hoir-e, to learn that the reform in Cie department of the Receivers-General of the Land Tax had been determined on by Ministeri before the Ho.i. Member for Aberdeen had introduced his motion. It would have been well, however, if the Noble Lord had taken the present opportunity to state what other retrenchments he and his colleagues had in store— ( Hear, hear).—He ougbt to give to the historio grapher the materials by which he could prove to future ages who was the great author of economical reform in the present day—(Hear, hear).—The repeal of the Agricultural Ilo: se Tax was the only point of moment which his Hon. Friend (Mi. Creevey) had omitted to notice. lie was rejoiced at the abandon ment of that tax, which produced £470,000 A-year, because it was not to be supplied by other taxes, but must be met by econ my and retrenchment—(Hear). Sir ROBERT WILSON made a few observations on the ensuing Coronation, and recommended an Act of Grace. Mr. BENNETT expressed a hope that next year they might receive from his Majesty's Ministers the fruits of their efforts to promote economy. The Ho nourable Gentleman then adverted to the approaching Coronation, and complained that the People of Eng : land were not to be piesent as a body, neither were they to be present by their Representatives. He be lieved that in the time of Queen Anne, and in the early period of the present Royal Family, arrange ments were made for the participation of the Com mons. He found from the prepa:ations, that well dressed Ladies and Gentlemen, with money in their *pockets, might be admitted ; but the People would see as little of it as he should at Many miles distance. He found it was the intention of Ministers to assem ble a large body of troops in the neighbourhood. Even the Yeomanry of the neighbouring Counties were to be called in. What was the necessity for this? One would suppose that this. Coronation was to be not a scene of civil, but of military, pomp; a Champ de Mars spectacle, and not the celebration of a solemn covenant (as it was called) between the King and his People. He had heard from an indi videal who had attended the last Coronation, that there was on that occasion no such an assemblage of troops. The appearance of such a force would create a general feeling of disgust against a ceremony which should be entirely of a pacific kind. Mr. HUTCHINSON spoke in terms of approba tion of the attempts made to economize. He did not think the liberties of England safe so long as the prin ciples which were in action on the Continent were countenanced by this Government, and he hoped that when they met next Session they would find the Noble Lord prepared to say, not only that he had not joined in the Declarations of the Foreign Sovereigns, but that he had opposed them. He thought by form ing an alliance with France and Spain, we might defy Russia and Austria, and even force them to keep within bounds without an appeal to arms. Sir R. FERGUSON did not wish to- disturb the harmony of the House, but he must say, in allusion to the retrenchments made and promised by the Noble Lord, that they would never have taken place had not the voice of the People forced it. Mr. MONCK rose to complain of a great incon venience accruing to the people of the country for the want of farthings. He hoped Government would turn their attention to the subject of a new coinage of that piece of money. The Bill was then read a third time and passed. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY. in rising to move that the Douse at its rising adjourn till Tuesday next, begged to ob serve, what it might be agreeable for their Constituents to knew, via. that upon an average the House had sat EIGHT HOURS and I Foavar Mu.uxu daily, for every sitting day throughout the Ses-' sion. Ibis was exclusive of the business done in the morning in the Committees; so that whatever might be the opinion of Ho tourable 3lember:. opposite, or of persons out of doors, k we, Main, that if the ilouse of C o mmons did no good, it was not for want of labour—(!fear! an laughter). The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the Ucuse adjourned at Half-past One to Tuesday next. A letter from Ilchester, dated July 1, says " Mel labours of the Commissioners appointed to enquire' into the regulations of IlchesterJatl, closed lastnight a t eight o clock, after thirty-eight days of incessant te a.

Captain HENDRY, of the Rosario sloop of war, ar rived at the Admiralty from St. Helena, at half past eleven o'clock this forenoon, in a chaise, and four. His dispatches, which were reported to be of the utmost importance, were instantly sent off to his MAJESTY. The substance of them we are ena bled to state from the best authority. They an nounce the death of the Ex-Emperor of Trance, NA POLEON BONAPARTE. This event, which in every generous and christian sense ofThe term, we may call melancholy, took place, as we are informed, on the sth of May last. The complaint of which he died was a cancer in the stomach. It is a hereditary dis ease in the BONAPARTE family; the father of NAP°. Lam; died of it at the age of 35. The E:•EstPEaoR was in the fifty-second year of his age. The reputed day of his birth wat the 15th of Augast, 1769 ; but we believe he post-dated his birth two or three months, for some political reason lor other, which we at present forget. The Admiralty telegraph has been constantly at woi k since the arrival of the dispatches. It is sup posed that the intelligence must ere this have reached the shores of France, where it cannot fail to produce an extraordinary sensation. Dispatches to the same effect as those received at the Admiralty, have arrived at the East India House. A letter from Sir Hunsos Lows to the l Court of Db ectors, was read !* = rorenoon in the General Court, dated the 6th of May last, stating that General BONAPARTE expired at ten minutes be fore six, on the sth of May last, at his new residence of Longwood. He had been confined since the 17th of March last. Three Mails arrived this forenoon from Lisbon,. with Papers to the 16th of June. They contain seve ral official Papers sent from Rio Janeiro ; and among others, one from the Minister SILVESTR PINHEIRO FKREIRA, dated the 50th April, in which is the fol lowing most important and spirited Declaration: " It is my duty to acquaint your Excellencies, that the King having been informed that there were at the Congresses of Troppaa and Laybach, persons who persuaded the Sovefeigns there assembled that they ought to take it as the incontestible basis of their deliberations, that the Kings of Naples, Spain, and Portugal by no means adhered to the Constitutions there proclaimed, and. that it was proper to dis tinguish the sound part with the respective Sove reigns constrained by force, and the rest of the Na tion, hurried away by the ctime of the wicked ; his Majesty orders me to signify for him to his Mi nisters at different Courts, that, far from assenting to such an assertion, he positively orders them to ex press, in the most solemn manner, whenever it shall be necessary, that having resolved to take the most free and voluntary oath to observe and enforce the Constitution which the General Cortes of the King dom shall agree upon, this act has proceeded solely from a sincere conviction that the Cortes are the le gitimate organ and expression of the national will; and that nothing can alter the firm and delibe rate resolution which he has taken to maintain, in the whole extent of these kingdoms, - whatever may be established or decreed by so legal a means, to serve as a Code for all classes of the nation, all of whom his Majesty recognizes, ought, without exception, to obey the geneyal will, thus expressed and that, far from approving the announced Alliance against the three Nations in general, and against the Portuguese in particular, his Majesty will consider as a most flagrant aggression against the independence of his Royal Crown, all and every step, convention, or agreement, by which foreign Sovereigns shall pre tend to interfere in any manner in the, objects now discussing by the General Cortes of the Kingdom. 6 , I am certain that this frank and spontaneous declaration of his Majesty cannot fail to inspire all good Portuguese with the most flattering hopes, espe cially as they are acquainted with the sentiments of the Prince Royal, and of the People of Brazil." Another dispatch states, that the King had sent the bearer J. Rod. Perreira de Almeida, to negotiate a loan of six millions of crusadoes for the Bank of Brazil, under the guarantee of the Public and Royal Treasury of this Province; if the loan cannot be con eluded in Portugal as they wish, Senor Rod. Per reira de Almeida has instructions to try to nego.l ciate it in England - or elsewhere. A warm debate on this subject took place in the Cortes, who ottani- monsly declared That they entirely disapproved of this loan. ' A Jamaica Mail arrived this morning with Papers to the Bth May. The following are extracts : JAMAICA, MAY 7. By the Perfecto Union we learn that the Indepen dent Army, under General UrA.aneta, was to be put in motion on the 29th ult. the day after the expira tion of the armistice, to march against Coro, which place. it was expectrd would soon fall. At Mara.' caybo, a conspiracy in favour of the Royalists was discovered, when about SOO persons were arrested. The brigantine Matia, with a full cargo of horses and mules, was taken possession of on the 30th ult. , in the port of Portel, on the Indian coast, by a sloop, under the Independent flag, which was carried to Rio de la Bache A Mail has arrived this forenoon from Hamburgh, with Papers to the 29th ult. They announce that the whole Russian fleet is fitting out, with all haste, to sail to the Mediterranean. The intelligence was brought by vessels which had arrived at Copenhagen, in four days from Cronstadt, and was considered perfectly authentic. _ The following is the only new intelligence from Turkey : FROM THE FRONTIERS OF MOLDAVIA, JUNE 6. According to the last accounts from Jassy, the , Greeks had retired as far as the River Suezawa, where they seemed disposed to concentrate their force. The Pacha of Ibrailow, indeed, declared that 'the Turks should not injure the innocent, and that he would do all in his power to maintain order; but as his troops look upon this as a religious quarrel, this assurance was not able to remove the apprehen sions of the inhabitants. On the 29th, Cantemir, who had till then remained with the archives of the Austrian Agency, left Jassy, and went, with several other Officers, to Skuleni. The Greeks get more and more the public offices into their hands, and distribute them at pleasure, and especially persecute the Boyars whom they suspect of attempting a counter-revolution. The country houses of many Boyars are destroyed. An unconfirmed report was spread that the Greeks and Turks had had a battle at Fockshany, and that the place had been burnt. It was also affirmed that Ypsilanti had named his brother Governor of Mol davia, and that the latter was advancing with some thousands of men; it is also said, that Ali Pacha of Jo annina had been killed by the Greeks, because he had attempted to reconcile himself to the Porte, and that they had given the command to Prince Michael Ypsi ' lanti. ,The Paris Papers of Sunday arrived this forenoon The Committee appointed by the French Chamber of Deputies to consider of the Project of the Law for continuing the Censorship of the Press until the end of the next Session, has made a Report of consider able length, recommending the rejection of the 'pro posed Law.--Five per Cents. Saturday, 4361 r. 35c. THE CORONATION. The Lord Chamberlain, Earl GWYDIR, commenced yesterday issuing Tickets of admission to inspect Westminster Hall. The Duke of Yonx was among the most distinguished visitants yesterday. The works are in a state of rapid completion. The Lord Chamberlain's Gallery, on the right of the Throne, and that of the Foreign Ambassadors on the left, are' finished in all their substantial equipments. They are lined with scarlet throughout, and sup ported each by two gilded light Gothic pillars. The seats for the Princesses and Royal Visitors, beneath these, and immediately contiguous to the throne, will be among the latest of the arrangements. The back of the throne is elevated close to the inner door-way, descending from the interior buildings. —The chairs, covered with crimson, on which the guests are to sit, are all prepared. The tables are laid in two broad parallels down the Hall, and not in the curved shape which early report had as signed them. They are fenced in with a neat iron barrier, which leaves between the chairs of the outer guests about one-third of the floor open for the purposes of homage and chivalry which belong to the ceremony. There are places preserved all down the walls, on each side, from which the viands and refections will be served directly from the kitchens. The double galleries, which reach from those before described, the whole length of the Hall, are as yet only matted, having to be covered with deep crinfson. His MAJESTY arrived in town last night, about ten o'clock, from his Lodge at Windsor. Yesterday the Duke of YORK held a Levee, as Com mander-in-Chief,at his Office in the Horse Guards. A letter from Philadelphia, .dated May 18, says— ti The Honourable Joseph Forsyth, American Am bassador to Spain, arrived yesterday at the Mlnsion- House Hotel, in this city, on his way to New York, where he will shortly embark for Madrid, to resume his functions of Minister of the United States."
