amnesty, makes at least every effort to wrest from t he political commissions the greatest number pos itbie of victims.

We arelassured that very stru ng Austrian columns are proceeding at this moment upon the ports of Ancona and Civita- Vecchia. REG G o, JULY B.—The Duke of Modena has just left for Milan, after having named a Regency; he nill afterwards proceed to Vienna, where it is stated that he will receive an important command la the army of Italy.

Wind S.W. Weather, cloudy. Last night despatches were received at. the Foreign Office, in Downing-street, from his Ex cellency Lord Viscount GRANVILLE, our Am 'Tissador at Paris. At tw•o o'clock this afternoon a Cabinet Council nas held at the Foreign Office, attended by all the members. After the Council a Conference was ' eld by the Ministers of the Five Great Powers at the Foreign Office. There were present the Russian, Austrian and French Ambassadors; the Prussian Minister, Count Man' uszav 'cm (on a special mission from Russia), the Baron de WESSEX BURG (on a special mission from Austria), and Viscount PALMERSrox. The conference lasted about three hours. The French Parliament meet to-day, and on Monday we may calculate on giving the King's speech. The anti-ministerial character of the New Chamber will necessarily render the Speech general and equivocal, unless CASIMIR PIRIER is disposed to float with the stream, and return to tte party to which he belonged before be became Minister. The French Chambers are constructed in the manner of our lecture-rooms, with senlicles of seats, and the President in the centre ; and, as an Improvement on the House of Commons, every Member has a desk for his papers, and pen and ink. Viewed from the Chair, the parties are situated as in our House of Commons, the Minis terial party being on the right (droit), and the Opposition on the left (gauche); and as desks and papers determine seats, so their positions are more fixed than in the House of Commons. The Members who seek places in the centre, are con sidered as neutral, or more moderate, and called the right or left centre. The seats of the Minis ters are in front of the otber seats. The present Chamber is almost a renovation ; for 194 of the 450 are entirely new Members, ▪ while nearly all the High or Tory Members have it boon ejected. Of the 96, who under CHARLES X. formed the extreme right or draft, only 2 now have seats ; and of the right centre, not more than 4or 5 have been returned. While, of the ex s treme left, or gauche, 71 out of 94 have been re- O turned, and a respectable proportion of the left ) centre. Altogether, 206 of both parties of the last Chamber have been returned to the present, • with 194 new Members ; and there being double s and treble returns of 35 Patriots, their places will be supplied by Electors whose side has been e;ineed. In the Ministry, SOULT, Minister of War, Levis, Finance, De Rio)/ Ir, Marine, and D'Aa oouT, Public Works, were formerly of the ex treme right or Tory party; while Cesium, PE BIER, Minister, SEBASTIAWI, Foreign, BARTHE, Public Instruction, and MONTALIVET, Interior, were of the Opposition or Whig party, while CHARLES X. was on the Throne. This will be a Ley to future events. Port au Prince Papers to the 13th June, and Montreal and Quebec Papers to the 19th of the same month, are this day received.— The former give a communication from the Consul General of France, stating that his Government cannot ratify the two treaties of the 2d April; upon which President BOYER of Hayti issued a proclamation, stating that all amicable relations between France and Hayti have ceased to exist. The President separately addresses the Civil and Military functionaries to do their duty, and forthwith to combine with - the Commanders of the Arrondissements. The only other news of importance we have from the Western World, we derive from the New- York Gazette, of the 23d June, which 3tltes, that the 'political affairs of Venezuela still remain in the most unsettled state ; General Nlonages, and his powerful party, having continued obstinate in their refusal to submit to the constituted authorities. The Montreal papers •• not bring any news of importance. A new cause of Irish, and of national excitement, I$ now raised by an unhappy mingling of party feeling with the course of justice. It seems that the Grand Jury called on to find bills in the New sownbarry affair, qualify the crime as Ma is sLAVGHTER, instead of murder, (see Panorama), so as not to leave the option to the Judge and Petit Jury on the trial. The nearest of kin in this case are therefore driven on the old practice of Prosecuting by ATTAINT ; but in this way, they tan fairly try the issue of murder before a Jury in as Court of King's Bench, Dublin. " Blood for blood" is the law of Go D and man ; and this eternal law cannot be rendered nugatory by any Grand Jury. If the parties are even convicted of man slaughter under an indictment, and murder as such is not atoned for, the lawful remedy is by attaint, formerly nullified by wager of battle ; but this was done away in 1819, and attaint now plainly revises any error of a Grand Jury, or even of a petit Jury, as in the case of THORNTON, and many others. The process is expensive, but we presume the govern ment would bear its share ; and the public in Ireland and Great Britain would be liberal if called upon. Murder is the only crime which Juries cannot qualify and confer impunity on ; for, if at tempted, the nearest of kin have still their clear remedy by A TTA INT. Unhappily, those who select Juries have, at present, neither in England nor in Ireland, any rule of law to guide or control them. A sheriff, under-sheriff, or some under-sheriff's clerk's clerk, usually selects whomsoever he pleases ; and in cer tain cases, therefore, decisions depend on the se lection. This was the main point which required correction when Mr. PEEL, with so little know ledge, brought in bills to improve the jury system. The routine of summoning should not lie in the discretion or choice of any one, but the list itself should govern the empanelling in a prescribed order of alternations, not to be departed from ander the heaviest penalties. Till this is done, nine-tenths of the value and certainty of our jury system are lost to the country. The Grand Jury having ignored the Bills against GRAHAM for manslaughter, there consequently is no remedy left, if the murder be insisted on, but to proceed by attaint or information; and we pre sume that is Mr. COSTELLOE'S plan, since it appears that he, on behalf of the families, separated himself from the proceedings as soon as he found that the charge was to be only as for manslaughter. We do not observe that the Judge laid any stress on the riot act not being read, as necessary to constitute the legality of the acts of the yeomanry, even if there had been a riot; but as GRAHAM is magistrate, and it was not read, though sug gested to him, it may be inferred that even he did not consider it as a riot. In the LORDS, the ii hrShOp of Putt. s con tended there was a want of Protestant churches in his diocese, and brought in a bill to enable him to increase their number. There seems no end to the wants of Ireland, and this is one which nobody suspected. In the Coatxows, Mr. SCOTT was declared the sitting member for Roxburgh. Sir F. BURDETT presented a petition from a large meeting at the Rotunda, praying for the interference of the House in the case of the Rev. ROBERT TAYLOR. Mr. D z NISON vindicated the Magistrates and enlarged on the luxuries with which Mr. T. was indulged, and on the concession to see his friends, through the double grating, four hours a day ; nevertheless, Mr. D. reprobated the principle of the prosecu tion. Mr. BRISCOE stated that he thought the regulations of the goal had always been too severe, and that no severity ought to be exer cised towards one convicted only of a misdemeanor. He and Mr. Taxvon expressed alarm as to TAT- Loa's power of making converts, and were, there fore, for abridging his intercourse and correspon dence. Mr. HUNT said there was no law against free correspondence, and again alluded to the enor mous sale of the Poor Mails Guardia*, as a con sequence of denunciations in that House. Captain Goanon condemned the relaxations shown to TAYLOR; and ascribed them to the rod of the licentious public press. He and Mr. HUNT then got into personal altercations, which the SPEAR Ea forbad. Mr. G. LAMB, under Secretary of State, thought TA 'Loa ought to be subject to the prison regula tions; but Mr. O'Connzu. thought there were just grounds of complaint. Another member ob jected to the prosecution in Coto, as injurious and impolitic. Sir F. BURDZTT insisted that the pri son regulations must be altered, since no gaoler was justified in preventing correspondence. Here the discussion ended ; but in fact the modern gaol regulations, which do not appear to diminish crime, originated in days of terror, and are a part of the illiberal Dundee system which ought now to be ameliorated. They IRRITATE and HARDEN, produce implacable a ESENTXENTS, and never reach the Barran FEELINGS from which spring contra• tion and reformation. We repeat for the hundredth time, that the tory and clerical magistracy re quire a thorough purgation through the whole kingdom. The rules and orders too ot Horsemonger Gaol, and of gaols in gene ral, require instant revision by the privy council; and not by lawyers, or justices of the peace ; and the ancient, liberal, and constitu tional jurisdiction of the Sheriff, ought forthwith ' to be restored in all prisons. The present system has, in 20 years, quintripled the number of criminals ; and if it continue another 20 years, it threatens to stimulate a general demoralization. 1 In the REFORM COMMITTEE, Mr. FARRAND on the question of Hedon, pressed on the house the fact, that Huddersfield contained 27,000 1 inhabitants. He did not, however, state that every house, except one s is the property of Sir J. Rxmanzn. Without. the lalloa. it would be creating a saminatiou•borough. Mr. STRICKLAND• easaandodi4liat each Riding of Yorkshire ought to return four Members : and Mr. SADLER stated thEICROMMELL'S Parliament gave 22 to Yorkshire. Mr. Kan row thought an additional member ought also to be given to the Welsh Counties. The conversation was prolonged on several points, and the coup de grace was then given to HEDON. HETTESEURY and HIOHAM FERRARA fol lowed without observation. The question on !Inmost produced some desul tory remarks of Mr. WETLAND and Sir C. Wavuzaau., on which Alderman WAITHIIAN compared Sir Charles to Lawyer Endless in No Song no Supper, who spoke on all subjects, but that actually in discussion. Mr. GouLauax retorted ; and then Sir C. WETHERELL at great length exposed the vassalage of the City Members, and their want of freedom to speak or think. The Speaker interposed, and Aldermen VENAELEA and WAITHMAN asserted, that in supporting the bill they were governed by their own convictions. Him pox was then disposed of. On ILCHESTER being put, Mr. PETRE ex claimed, " May it rest in peace !" Mr. GILBERT DAVIES pleaded for one member for EAST and WEST LOGE, which together had 2559 inhabitants. This led to a long discussion, in which Mr. HOPE, Mr. BULLER, Mr. Knurls, Mr. A. BARING, Sir R. !watts, Mr. GOUL BU RN, Mr. DAWSON, were opposed by Mr. STAN LEY, Mr. O'Coxx ELL, Lord MILTON, Lord ALTUOILY, &c. when East and West Looe were condemned in succession. Afterwards, LOSTWITHIEL, LUDOERSHALL, MIDMURT, and MILEURVE PORT, with no re marks, except from Mr. JOHN SMITH, the pro prietor of Midhurt, who gave the decision his entire approbation. MINEHEAD led to a long conversation ; Mr. LurrEszu, contending, that with Danster they contained 3,370 inhabitants; he moved, therefore, that it should be transferred from A to B. All the leading borough party spoke seriatim, and the reform party replied ; in fine, it was placed in A without a division. NEWPORT and NEWTOWN, in Lancashire, were then Pastan ; but in putting the question on Newton, in the Isle of Wight, Mr. GURNEY rose amidst general laughter, in which he joined, to protest against it as an act of spoliation of power; and he said that no Member for Newton had ever been such a spectacle for men and angels as the four Members for London. On these observations being cheered, Mr. O'Cown au. compared such cheers to the voice of thinder, with which all the people cheered on read ing the death warrants of these boroughs. Mr. ATTIFOOD MO he expected such death warrants for the' ravage of the House itself; while the decisiesie ratneabled those of the revolu tionary conventifon of France Lord Jonw Russcu. now arose, and in a very formal speech, .deprecated such language, and defended the City of London, and the whole proceedings• Sirjsmts SCARLIITT replied with equal form, and deprecated the power, about to be given to the people, instancing the treatment of Alderman Tnonesow in die City. thenlin a speech of great ability and force, which was cheered throughout, vindicated the city, and its members, and took a very spirited review of the whole question, ridi culing the boroughmongers, and describing the traffic of lawyers in mats as corrupt means of pro motion. This was one of the most impressive ex temporaneous speeches of the session, and pro duced continued sheers at its close from the majo rity. Mr. &Dien, Mr. PELH•III, Sir R. PEEL, and Colonel Sharron'. followed, when Newton was condemned. 01111011 D, PFEESSIPIELD, and PLYMPTON, were severaliy voted into the disfranchised List, with long requiems, die. from Mr. Cum's'', Lord VALIZTOILT, and Col. SIIITHORPE, who mingled some abuse of the press. Eighteen in all were condemned last night ! Some singular caprice must have operated in the appropriation of members, as we have already noticed more than once, in omitting such a district * CnaLsta, which by the returns of 1821, con tained 26,860 inhabitants, and above 4,500 ten pound houses; and now contains 5,028 ten pound houses, and 32,371 inhabitants. It must, of course, have been an oversight ; for there are only five - places which return representatives that pay more to the assessed taxes, and it is a dense mass of houses in a semicircle of a mile radius. It, therefor., possesses every quality for representa tion I and if on attention being drawn. to the circumstance, it were still wilfully omitted,it would N, a pees act of injustice, contrary to all the pro- fusion, of the framers of the Bill. To attend to this is the legitimate business of the members for Middlesex and Westminster ; and it cannot be supposed that they will, in silence, permit so great an affront to be put on 5,028 housekeepers, as I wall entitled to the elective franchise as any other body in the kingdom. There was a meeting of the district yesterday afternoon, of which we have given an account in another paga New Raise of Court awe lately promulgated with much Asphyxia and two days ago we gave one of them as a specimen of what is called an age of liberality ! With what design it was written, or with what spirit dictated, every reader may form i bis own opinions ; but if the administration is as liberal as it has credit for being, it would seem to have been contrived with no very respectful intsn dons, All theworit are aware of the sound tea miss dictated by humanity and policy, on the sub ject of bail; and many members of both . Houses have signified a determination either to prevent teats altogether, or at least to modify their irk some features. Such, in truth, is the liberal po ky of the day ; yet just at the moment when all seem were expecting efficient ameliorations of a system of unqualified mischief—forth comes this rule of court, which renders it impossible for any man who by any rascality is arrested, to ask any friend to be his bail, and altogether unlikely for any man, except under circumstances of extraor dinary urgency, to become bail. If it was in tended to give the vantage ground to all plaintiffs, sod PREVENT BAIL in Civil cues being put in, then this rule of court fully affects its purpose ; bat if this was the intention, then we take it upon ourselves to say, that such design is utterly at va riance, not only with the spirit of the age and legislature on these subjects, but with the ancient usages of our law, and of all law founded on Christian principles. In proof that there are errors at head quarters on these subjects, we have only to quote the ever famous rule of court in the spring 1820, made during the distresses of the panic, awl which uselessly ruined hundreds of respectable families. But the Parliament is sitting, and we are debating with the servants when we ought to appeal to the masters; and in this case, if the masters are vigilant without further notice, they will do their duty.

THE SING OP BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, Wednesday, July 20.—The King has remained at Laeken the whole of the day. The Regent and most of the Deputies have been to pay their respects to him. The procession for the inauguration of the King will commence to-morrow morning at 10 o'clock. The popularity of tbe King hourly increases, ; and should he be well, advised, he may have a happy reign. Yet he has much to do ; the people expect more than he will be able to perform. A general pardon for i all political offences would do much, and the taking of small articles out of pawn for the' poor, with finishing the boulevards, and continuing, the canal to Antwerp, would probably satisfy them. The French party is quite dead ; but the Orange party still lingers; but so infatuated are this last, that they actually promulgate that Prince Leopold is only keeping the seat warm for the Prince of Orange ; and others spread the report that the rea son the King came so late into Brussels was, that be might not be recognised—it was the Prince of Orange, and not Prince Leopold I INAUGURATION —THURSDAY. —His Majesty left the Palace of Laeken at a quarter before eleven o'clock, and arrived in procession in the Place Royale, at 20 minutes past one. Immediately after he ascended the steps and had taken his seat, the Regent resigned his office in the following speech: REGENT'S SPEECH TO THE CONGRESS. " Gentlemen—By your decree of the 24th of February last, and conformably to the 81itb ankle of the amelitadeo, l yon did me the honour of appointing me Regent of Beigiont.' On the 251 b, I had the honour of being admitted into the bosom of the Congress, and of solemnly taking the oath pre scribed by the 80th article of our social compact. " lily first cares were to compose a ministry. I called to it the same individuals to whom the muslin pmts. mint had Intrusted the difaent branches of the general administration. It was in confirming in their high func tions the same men who had so powerfully aided in ac quiring and consolidating our liberty, that I wished to give to the nation a first pledge of my entire adhesion to the principles of our revolution, and of my firm reso lution to secure the enjoyment of all its consequences. “ I caused to be notified to the Gomm:tentsof France and England the dean of the 24th of February, which no minated as Regent of Belgium, and credential letters was delivered so Belgic agents at these two courts with the tide and yank of Ministers Plenipoteniary. " The Yrench Government admitted, without hesitation, oar Minister, who took rank dung with foreign diplomatic agents accredited to the Courts of the Palals Royal. His Majesty Louis Philip did me the honour of addressing to me by his autograph letter of the 19th of March last, con gratulations on my accession to the Regency, and expressed to me at the same time, and in formal terms, the lively and invariable interest which he takes is Belgium. * It was by this first act that Louis Philip began to realise the promises which he had made me in February last, when I bad the honour of taking leave of him. He then said on taking me by the hand, ' Tell the &lee nation thu I give them my baud in the person of the President of the Congress, and that the Belgians may always reckon on my friendship. " We were not so fortunate with the Cabinet of St. James's. Our minister was not received dish any thing but civility (gleiespeemest) by the English mintstry, and the national honour am permitting me to leave hint, longer in an equivocal situation, I ordered him to be recalled. " The ministry, in the mean time, wishing to put an end to the unsatisfactory resat of the provisional state of a Re gamy, and to dose the revolution by a definitive govern. meet, bad lent to oar agent in London isaithetiens to sound the dispositions of his Royal Highness the Prince ef' Sane Coburg, but obstacles of mere etiquette paralysed the in-! tended effects. " In the interval other men were alba to the mWethyt and the new ministers followed the Whom preceding& of prodeemesea What passed en thatththjeth is known to jms. You know. gentlemen, hew the kW, tiembodea bee bah taught Ghent, ai whisk we as this dap ptheent. " I lima not, podiums, deeds you with any observe . dens en the sots of way Regency. I shall confine myself to can ~i wing, that the treivescence of the pauions incidentri to our r. volutiesary state, the stagnatinn of commercial busi ness, anxiety about the future fortunes of our eruniry, have brought &soot events and caused embarrassments which have prevented the government from occupying itself as effi caciously as would have been desirable with the institutions which are destined to complete the work of political rege -1 aeration. " ID the state of threatened hostilities with our neighbours, the Government was under the necessity of devoting its chief attention to the army. The infaaterlas been considerably increased and organised, the fermatien of the cavalry has been coniplete, the artillery has been put ea a respectable footing, the service of the commissariat, of the hospitals, and of transports, has been secured; and finally, by the side of the regular army another army is formed, in the ranks of the t Lyle Guard, equally impatient to measure its strength with the enemy. " The concert of all the citizens, who, forge , ting the spirit of party, are going to range themselves round the throne, will not contribute less than the courage and excel lent spirit of our army, to support negociations, to obtain an _ honourable peace, to consolidate our independence, and, If need be, to defend the integrity of our territory. " Our finances are in as prosperous a state u 'circum stances would permit. and the levy of tie taxes is effected as easily as in profound peace. M If I haws been, potlemen, happy enough to aid in lead ing into port the vessel o( the state—for I regard the saes. slon of Prince Leopold to the throne of Belgium, and the recognition of him be the majority of the great Powers of Europe, u the termination of our glorious revolution and the establishment of our liberties,—if I have been able to accom. plish any good, far be it from me to ascribe the trait to myself. No, gentlemen, I claim only the smallest share ; for I confess, in the face of the nation and of all Europe, that without the special ptotection of Providence, no human prudence could have foreseen either the events or their re sults ; far less could it have directed them in the interest of our country. " It was likewise in the noble Flatness of the Con. gnu, and in the wisdom of its deliberations, that I have found the most powerful support. Permit me, therefore, gentlemen, to address to you the at/ nualon of my lively and sincere gratitude. " But, gentlemen, let us declare tlat our task has been rendered very easy, by the excellent qualities of the Belgic people,—a people es submissive to the lass, as docile to the voice of the chiefs who eeserve it, confidence, as it has shown itself jealous of its rights, and impatient of the yoke of arbi trary power—of that people so courageous in battle, so firm in its resolutions..-of that people eistntally moral, of whom history will say that during 11 months of revolution and of privations among the most numerous dale, (with the ex ception of some excess ',ideally provoLel), there were never fewer crime; of that people whose devotion and kne will always be the recompense of a good Government. " It is with the most whet security, gentlemen, that commit the destinies of this good people into the hands of a Prince, whose noble character and private virtues are the best guarantees for those which he shall display from the throne. " With the most heart-felt ertmlon, I may now my, I have seen the dawn of happiness opening en my country. I have lived long enough. " I deposit in your hand., gentlemen, the powers wire!' yogi had conlldekl to me, and I beg you t i be so good as to record my declaratlor." M. Gerlach, the President of the Congress, then addressed the Regent, and, in the name of the Congress, thanked him. M. C. Vilain XIV. then read the whole of the Constitution, upon which M. de Nothomb, the youngest of the secretaries of the Congress, stood forward and read a paper, which he then presented to the King. Leopold read it seriously over, and then rose from his seat, and advanced to the front. He then slowly, seriously, and distinctly read aloud the oath, in the following terms:—'• I swear to observe the Constitution and the Lies of the Be'g:an people, and to maintain the national independence and the integrity of the territory." A table was then brought, and Leopold signed the constitution. Loud and continued cries of " Vive le Roi !" The cannon fired, the trumpets sounded. The Presi dent, the Vice-Presidents, and Secretaries of the Congress, signed the document as witnesses.— Leopold, at 3 minutes past 2 o'clock, went up to the throne, and, standing on the steps, read an address to the Congress and people, which was beard throughout with great attention. The loudest applause followed this act. 101 guns were fired off, the bells rung a merry peal, and a hundred trumpets were sounded. The King ascended his throne, and received the homage of all his subjects. A new cortege was then formed to accompany his Majesty, Leopold I. to his royal palace, thus ; A Detachment of Cavalry.
