~,~ . P 1 f. 'li ' ;fr 1.! 1 would not induce him to advise the Crown to remit any' part of his sentence. He would reserve what he had to say on the abuses of Ilchester jail until that ,subject should be brought forward, but he would not be the Apologist of that. Mr. Hunt, however, was ' I the only prisoner in the jail who had not the least reason to complain.—” Was it right to address the • throne to liberate a convicted offender, on account of the insalubrity of the jail, and not ask for the liberation of the debtors, who were the victims of the presiure of circumstances, and not tif any crime? It was because the Hon. Baronet had failed in spew ing that the conduct of Mr. Hunt had been such as to deserve a remission of punishment that he resisted this motion. Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH knew Mr. Hunt,. only as an Englishman entitled 'to the consideration of that House; and though he might disagree with his opinions, still the rights of Englishmen were . as sacred in Mr. Hunt's person as in that of any other man. He had no wish in this instance to say a word impugning the sentence of the Judges, or of arraign. ing their conduct, though, if ever the occasion for doing so should arrive, he should not shrink from in vestigating the conduct of any Judge with the greatest boldness ; no honourable or just Judge would wish to be screened from such investigation. It was owing to the freedom of discussion which their con duct underwent by the Public Press, and by the Pub lic, that our Judges were so great, so pure, and so much respected. Before such discussion existed, the Judges were in this, as in other countries, the abject tools of 'lower. The Hon. Member then proceeded to exarie the case of Mr. Hunt, and alluded to the charaCtes of Bridle, the jailer, as had been for merly adverted to by an Honourable Member of that House (Mr. Buxton). It was not, however, of the - severity of the sentence that he complained ; but that of which he complained was, a sentence more severe than that passed on him by the Judges. As to what had been said by the Right Hon. Secretary of State, of unprecedented interference with the prerogative of the Crown, this was not the first time such a course had been adopted; there were numerous precedents to justify the present motion ; lint the' Right. Hon. Secretary had said, even if there - should be a unani mous vote of the 11,,use in favour of mercy, he would not advise his Majesty to accede to that vote ! Would the' Right Hon. en tlernan resign ? his threat could bear no other construction; for certainly he would not be so bold as to set up his opinionOnd judgment against the unanimous opinion of the House of Commons--(Hear, hear).—The Right lion. Gerx tleman talked of precedents, but did he recollect the Address of the House of Lords in 1716, recommend ing the Crown to pardon the Rebel Lords? here was a recommendation emanating from the Judges themselves, who condemned them—(Hear, liar, from il!r. Peel). —The Right Hon. Gentleman assumed a high tone, hut he must' change his tone, and check leis 'nide,' for he would find the precedent to which he had just alluded, did not quite justify so loud and triumphant a *cheer. He was persuaded that the Ilotit.e would not,. in its deliberate judgment, think Mr. Hunt less entitled to protection because Fe was obnoxious or unpopular—(llear, ilowev er individual Members of that House might be lcd away in moments of zeal, the House was too ju , ,t and generous deliberately to sanction such a prin ciple. Let them recollect, too, that it was not against amiable or respectable men that tyranny made its first expetin.ents. Tyrants were not so shortsighted as to begin by assailing the rights of those who were universaily respected and beloved. It was through the sides of the obnoxious and the unpopular that the rights of all were first attacked, and would at length be annihilated, if men were not to be found courageous and honest enough to defend any man, however un popular, while he appeared to be suffering unjustly. Mr. W YNN said, that, in the case of White, Parliament had I : - .id a just deference to the prerogative of the Crown. A 3 to the taw of the Rebel Lords, in 1761, the Lords could not petition tie Crown to reverse their own judgment; but in recommend. hg those unfortunate Noblemen to mercy, they had only used the power which was every day exercised by Juries upon a ver dict of conviction. The Right lion. Gentleman read an extract from a pamphlet just published by Hunt himself, in which he declared it was all a hoax to suppose his punishment was greater than the Judges intended, for that 1, Best would have turn his flesh elf his bones it he could."—(Load laughter.) Mr. BUXTON said, his sentiments on the case were made up, and he should not have troubled the House, had it not been that an Honourable and Learned Friend (Sir J. Mackintosh) had referred to him as knowing the circumstances, and being able to describe the character of Mr. Bridle. The evils, however, did not exist at the time when be (Mr. Buxton) had examined the gaol, they had been introduced lately. He would not consider the question with any reference to the character of Mr. Hunt.— He felt itjo be his duty to consider, not who was confined, but what bad been done. He had not to look to any extraneous ques tion with regard to the man, but to the sentence which had been put in execution against him. The sentence was made up of two parts, the nature of it, and the time of its duration. With regard to the former, the prison to which Mr. Hunt bad been confined was most unhealthy, and under very improper discipline. In proof of its unhealthiness, he would mention that James Bryant had died in it. If, when all that Mr. Hunt had already suffered was considered, he were to be detained for the whole term of his sentence, then he would suffer more than the Judge who bad passed sentence on him intended, which would be both injustice and cruelty.—Sir J. MACKINTOSH explained. Mr. ESTCOURT would give no opinion on the case, as he` had assisted in inspecting the jail ; and though his opinion might not be of itself entitled to much consideration, that eircumstarsee might cause it to have undue weight with the House. Sir FRANCIS BURDBTT rose to reply. Ile thought the general declamation in which Honourable Gentlemen bad in dulged was both uncalled for and improper. If the House were to enter at all into the question, then he must say that that decla mation which applied to the general character of Mr. Hunt, and which had nothing to do with the point at issue, ought to be left out. The charges which had been thus wantonly and unfairly brought against Mr. Hunt bad not been proved; and surely the House would not, upon such grounds, get rid of a subject which went to subvert the Constitution. The lion. Gentlemen had passed over all the hardships to which Mr. Hunched been exposed. He had been enclosed by a high wall, and exposed to damp air and all the other dangers of a confined and unhealthy situatiou.--,1 Whatever bad been Mr. Hunt's conduct previous to his confine meet (and with it those charged with the execution of the sea once had nothing to do), his conduct during his confinement had been correct. He bad borne everything to which he was sew terced, and even more. The charges which he had brought for relative to the prison were founded upon the cases of others, and rot upon his own. He bad, however, suffered much, width be ought not to hare suffered. They had excluded part of bis fay from him, on account of what th e y were pleased to ca ll an immoral connexion—on account of his connexion with Mrs, Vince. Now there was no use whatever for introducing the name of that Lady. She bad no share in the offense for which Mr. Hunt ' and it did not appear that her introduction could to the morality of the jaiL It was a farce indeed ;ality of that, for she House would bear in mind • in the Governor's house—they would bear 4 had been done in the prison —they would boys had been introduced to sleep in the cells convicted of unnatural crimes!—(Hear).—He Use commies of M. Hest with this Lady..ibits - - - . , . 4 . • .~~ - 711m.prmiriw' . : ' . thus prying into men's private matters, _ _ Wen in allowing free intercourse to Mr 'sup spy per.„„ whom he called his family—(Hear).—Wla regard,agako, to the charge which had been brought against hint (lar p. B ur d e tt), of. having interfered with the Royal prerogative, he denied it; and he would at the same time state that the House was not always thus fearful. In the ease of Sir M. Loren, who had been found guilty of bribery and corruption, by which the House was de.. graded and the Constitution subverted, part of the sentence had been remitted rand surely the House had not to be told that the 'attempt of the unfortunate old Gentleman to corrupt the house Iteelf,was more atrocious than that for which Mr. H.was punished. Ihrese, if part of the punishment had been omitted in the one age, he could net see with what propriety it could be augmented hl the other. The Hon. Baronet recapitulated the three grounds awe which the necessity for his motion rested, and concluded by appealing to the House as to the irrelevancy of the declama tions which had been indulged in against Mr. Hunt's general character. The gallery was cleared for a division, in which the numbers were—Ayes, 114=—Noes, 223—Majority, 139. The other Orders o! the Day were then disposed of, after evida the House adjourced at One o'clock. _ _ _ THE EVENING STAR. LONDON . . THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 1822. It. ssat.—Hdiday at the Bank.

We have received the French Papers of Monday.. The Courier Franrail contains a long article on the affairs of Greece, extracted from numerous letters, of various dates, from the Peloponnesus, Thessaly and Epirus. • One of these gives details of the late vic tory gained by the Greek fleet over the Turks, nearly the same as those already published; but it gives some additional information, by which it appears, that 'the Greeks; according to their usual tactics, at tacked furiously the centre of the Ottoman fleet, where the largest vessels are usually stationed, and among them the Admiral. The vessels forming the two wings of the Turkish fleet, seeing .the centre destroyed, fled in different directions, some towards Cephalonia, and others into the Gulf of Gaumenizza the latter, being closely pursued, were soon over taken, beaten, captured, or destroyed. One of these Papers contains a letter from Madrid, dated the 11th last. and is as follows: " Rumcurs the most improbable succeed each other with astonishing rapidity, since the arrival of a courier extraordinary coming from Paris. It has been concluded from thence that a declaration of war between France and Spain had taken place; and some have even gone'so far as to announce the return of the Minister Plenipotentiary of this Ccurt from Paris, and the departure of M. the Count Lagarde from hence. According to these rumours, the Spanish Envoy at Paris, having observed too little delicacy towards the Cabinet of the Thuilleries, on the subject of the cordon of health; of the factions in Navarre, &c. the French Government had taken him at his word when he threatened to quit that capital; which, it is said, he has ulti mately done. On the receipt of this news, the Spanish Minis ters repaired to Aranjuez, and M. Lagarde has received his legres de cenz?." We can readily believe that the French Ultra Minis ters are not very favourable to the Liberalparty in Spain; but we cannot suspect them of the folly of advising their Master, whose throne is not very firmly established, to make a crusade against liberty in Spain. The Journal des Wats contains a curious article on the affairs cf Naples, which states, that the seve rity of the Neapolitan Government had displeased Austria, and that a change of Ministry was talked of as likely to be brought about by that Power.-- a General Fatmosr, Commander-in-Chief of the A us trian troops, disapproved of the popular executions which the Neapolitan Police had favoured. The po pulace of Naples, for instance, seized a cock, con demned it as a Carbonari, and the executioner con veyed it to the place of execution. Whilst the popu lace amused themselves in this way, and were them selves the victims of the executioner, the great chiefs of the conspiracy escaped all punishment. General FRIMONT repeatedly made representations against so irrational a system, which being unavailing, it is stated that Austria immediately proposed a total change in the measures of the Government."

A German Mail, bringing Frankfort and other Papers to the 18th instant, reached us this forenoon. The Austrian Observer has at length ventured to break the silence it has so long observed on the affairs of Russia and Turkey. In that Journal, of the 12th inst. there is a long article contradicting the various rumoers that have been circulated in the Continental papers on the subject, and stating that the Journalists who fabricate reports of war from Fetersburgh and Odessa, and of massacres and disturbances at Con• stantinople, to give their friends in that capital, and through them the most important individuals of the Turkish Ministry, the assurance 44 that the Emperor, of Russia does not, and cannot think of war ; that the reports spread on this head are circulated by the enemies of the Ottoman Government, in order to induce the Divan tq steps which would injure its - R?~as-~'Aer ; . . • 1 I _ sa i d 'that to loch report: they Gael to op- pose immovable firmness." • The article thus codeludes—e. We are formally authoriged to declare that the reports which have been circulated for some weeks past in public papers, on the state of the negociations with the Porte, are either entirely false, or represented with data partly true and partly false, so that they do not merit any credit whatever."

In consequence of •tbe news that the Turks continue to be come mere and more numerous in Moldavia, the second Attny will not go into tamp at Winhiosa ; but the reserve of the second Army, and the heavy artillery, will ga into this camp, which is now ready : the whole corps of Babaneff remains there fore In Bessarabia.

These two corps, and all the other divisions of the Second Army, will remain is these positions till the Emperor comes. The Li thuanian corps. and the Polish army, follow the movements of the second Army. -~ . 1 • impertamee tram dietwie • 1.1 eadaty deed k "EiN straight, MOO item tiN ei z e t i osk d i e demi bear of the Oalte dein *ay asidingh t .

Since the return of oar Mission to Constantinople, besides the usual post between this and Odessa, an extraordinary post has been established, which goes and arrives twice in the week. Baron Strogonoff and the persons attached to his mission are still actively engaged here in the affairs of their former depart meat they still keep up a constant diplomatic correspondence on the affairs of our Court and the Porte, by means of the Eng lish, French, and Austrian Ministers, through whose mediation the Porte hopes to renew its ancient direct relations with Russia. The war with Persia seems to be only suspended for the win ter, during which negoeiations are said to be carrying on. The Persians insist on the cession of the provinces which the Porte formerly took from them. It cannot be believed that the Turks will agree to this cession, and It is therefore very probable that the war will continue. Exchange on London, April 2, 9 2142. A Flanders Mail, with Brussels Papers of the 2Sd instant, received at a late hour this forenopn, contains the following intelligence : BRUSSELS, APRIL 22. We bare a letter from Bayonne of the 15th, which says— ' " For some days past, a double degree of diligence is exercised on this frontier. Spanish Journals containing revolutionary ar tides on France, have been seized. A Bunyan Mesaeoger, who had passed the Bidusoa, has been arrested: he was the bearer of several letters in cypher, written by the Ex-French Officers who have fled to Spain. These papers have been sent to Paris. The situation of Navarre Is still alarming ; there is a party in the province which would excite civil wat. A numerous body of armed men has shewn itself; and it is affirmed that the famous Merino, whom some Journals have killed, is at its head." This forenoon we received Spanish Papers to the I 12th instant. They are entirely silent as to the ru mours of war mentioned in the private letter of the Journal des Debits. These Papers mention that let ters had been received from Curacoa to the 26th of January, and from Porto Bello to the 21th, which contain accounts of the successes of General LA TORRE, and indulge in the vain hope of recovering the Pro vinces. They also affirm that IlutavAa is dead. The following are extracts: PABIPELUNA. APRIL 3. The day before yesterday our Provincial Deputation addressed a very Important representation to the Cortes, which complains of the late Resolution of the Cortes to disarm the Volunteer Na tional Militia of that city, and endeavours to shew that the con duct of the regular troops occasioned the disorders that had taken place in the city. Since the unopposed disarming of the Militia, the excesses, of which we have beta the victims, have continued. As a proof of this, we need only extract some sentences from she communica tion made on the ad by the Municipality to the Political Chief. The Municipality state, that on the Ist of April, groups of sol diers ran about the streets, vociferating patriotic songs, conclud ing with " Ricgo for ever!" mixed with exclamations of" Death to the Scrviles of Pampeluna!" At a late hour they retired to their quarter; without having succeeded in irritating the people by their insults, which seemed to be their object. On the 2d, in the morning, parties of 10 to SO soldiers again ran about the streets, singing and shouting as before patriotic songs, and " Riego for ever!" but mingling ether exclamations, such as " Death to the people of Pampeluna;" " Death to the Servile. of Pampeluna ," and," From the Navarrese. 0 LORD deliver us !" " From General Mendizahal, 0 Lox. deliver us!" " From the Bishop of Tarazona, 0 Loan deliver us !" Scc. dec. Brandishing with threats their sabres and bayonets, they 40M. paled many persons, even women, to cry " Riego for ever ;" and concluded these settles by the pillage of the house of the Vicar of San Lorenzo, which they entered, forcing the doors, and robbing what they could lay hands on. The people remained quiet. though alarmed at these scenes; and their prudence. probably. prevented the renewal of the scenes of bloodshed and disorder. A Lisbon Mail, with Papers to the Pith instant, has reached vs. Their contents are very unimportant. The Cortes wcre still discussing the Constitution and the Project for the commer cial relations between Portugal and Brasil. Intelligence from Bahia states, that all was tranquil there, and that on the 2d of February the Junta was installed. On the 10th February many vessels appeared in the Road of Pernambuco ; and it appeared that the expedition under the convoy of Don John VI. arrived on the I.sth, had landed 2,000 men, that the troops bad not yet departed for Portugal, and that all was tranquil. The Finance Minister has been allowed to resign, on account of bad health. Ills Majesty has appointed Don Sebastian Jose de Carvalho in his room. The following is an extract of a letter from the Agent to Dora's, dated Constandnople, March Si, and which was re_ saved in town this morning ;J The Turkish fleet bas had an eugaganint with the Greek squadron, of Petra., in which the former had the advantage. Seven of the latter, according to the accounts given by the Pont., have been burnt.
