I LONDON. without providing a sufficient remuneration for a set.- v• of so much hazard and danger. Now, with re spect to the operation of ibe Habeas Corpus Suspen ion Act, and the other restrielive measure*, they would not operate in Ireland; and it WA) int-lided to vd.dce the military establishment in t'lat country from twenty-five thousand to twenty•two thousitail men, and vaiii , its other redu:tions, which, in point dt expense, would make the exchange, in respect to pro tecting the laws and carrying them into effect by means of a vigorous Police, more desirable ; Ind for waist ofaltat efficient Police he should be .compelled for the presen• SesSion to move fur leave to introduce an Insutrection Bill. The Might Honourable Gen tleman then moved Jo: Peeve to bring in a Bill to amend the Stiii of the King, with a view to engraft ol it a Po ice system. S.: .1. NEWPORT .ridded: His testimony as to the general good government of Ireland in respect to tr.r;quillizing that country. With respect to the pre sent motion, he must congratulate the House on the principle of the 818, which was strictly Constitutional, the great object to be attained by it would have the effect of affording protection to the peasantry, who had found it so valuable, that though they paid tot that protection, they did it cheerfully. The exchange of Constables for the Military wools induce a return to that path of duty which Vie people of England so well tws, how to tread. He entirely concurred in the motion. Atter some•observations in support of the motion, from Mr. CAKIW, Mr. CHICIIESTIA, and Mr. V. Firz octiacu, leave was given to bring in the Bill. • The Report of the Committee of Supply on the Army Estimates. was brought•up, and the Resolu tions were agreed to. • • Mr. CA I.CRA FT said if the force continued after Vesater Attie amount of 140,000 men, he should think rais Way to move for a re.tuction of that amount. .to Sanwa to a question Odom Mr. CintwEN, with respect to a particular iirm in the Unfunded Debt, of 115,300,(XX), the CHANCILLOR 01 the EXCHEQUER stated, that it was explained in the miscellaneous items that that sum was for Bills provided ter by Par liament, but not before paid off. Mr.. CA LC RAFT said, it was a lamentable thing to see money so flush in the market, while our ma nufacturers were complaining of the want of trade, and the employment of it in facilitating commercial intercourse. The CHANCELLOR of tie tXCHEQUER observed, that commercial prosperity was beginning to revive—the natural tendency and progress of events would prole it. There was le:beady a very avjous revival of credit throughout the country. The Report et the Seditious Assemblies Bill was brought up. Sir J. NEWPORT asked whether this Bill ex tended to Ireland ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER declared that it did not. Sir J. NEWPORT then said, it ought to be so declared in the Bill, because doubts were entertained on the subject; and if nothing was done to prevent the Societies, whether" Orange or not, froM sing the country, he should propose a clause to that effect on the third reading. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had rip objection to the introduction of the clause. The Report was then agreed to, and the Bill or dered for a third reading on Fridley. The Mutiny Bill and the Marine FOICCe Regulation Bill wtre read a Roe time. Mr. CROKER stated, that oa Friday next li, Honourable Friend (Sir G.

COMMOTION AT MANCHESTER. Ir The Mail of this morning has brought some singu lar details from Manchestekresptcting popular move ments, which savour more s #f insanity than of any thing else. After a Meeting fin: Reform on the 3d instant, reports were circulated that like the Bilston Colliers, who some tinse - sgo set off with two 'arts of coals for the purpose of dragging them to Carlton House, it was intended to have another 'netting, previous to which the people were to supply them-' salves with blankets and other articles necessary for bivouacking on the road, and after which the whole wore to set off on " a journey to London." The re port gained but liule credit till Saturday last, when she (allowing bill was posted throughout Manchester : *PUBLIC BUIXTING. " 11111 of MAIICIIIISTIR and ks vicinity are nisperisfalip isferand, that a Plane MILTING, morass to odleoromeat, will be held mar St. Peter's Church. oe Monday aissaing, the loth of Muth, ISTf, whoa it is bored that every prisso orb, is dateroanad to carry his Peale 'Y6l.oaden, wilt assotabie tenably and orderly, sad provide hirnseli with the re ' entosy moms alsoppert iregsWto to hoar hha through this loyal sad mown volieetakhig. k is hoped that those Meads of Pattiamentary Reform. who peons the maw, will gnaw forward ea this haponaot musket. 4 ' Palmas will he sprained to resolve contrilistioss this eve n* at New balogna. apd at the Meeting oa Monday. • (Signed) 4, W. Oostaii, Printer, 116,,Woodrstnet." Early oe Sunday morning the Printer was arrested and conveyed to prison, sad at the same time Orator Marlene (the same . who went to Lancashire to in struct the workers in the potteries in the Rights of Man) was put into safe cuaorly.:-.The Meeting how ever, took place at Neerifiliegtoo f Salford, on Semi day evening l and earliubn Monday there were pro= 'amatory Sooting: at Middletuir, Oldbam, and whet *gm, to provide the pecuniary means for a raireb to A* Metropolis. On Monday, about nine in the morning': a crowd begin to assemble in front of the Quaker's Meeting. 11-Am, Manchester. A table, elevated on a- curt, was protided for the Secretary and Treasurer to enrol the names of the volunteers for the pilgrimage, 501 to enter the monies received for their support on the journey. By half past nine the number of persons assembled was about 10,000. One of the leaders now reached the ground in 'a hackney-coach, and was saluted with hums by some of the populace. In the mean time the Magistrates of the tcwn and neighbourhood had taken precautionary measures to prevent this insanity from producing mischief. A number of additional Constables had been sworn in ; and soon after ten o'clock, they proceeded to the neigh bourhood of the place of meeting, whence about 100 n men, provided with blankets _and provision far the march, had previously withdrawn to Piccadilly to ar range themselves in marching order, and had already set out on their mad journey—on the promise, and in the expectation that the managers and leaders would soon overtake them, bringing with them the liberal donations of those who could not conveniently under take the march in person. A little before eleven o'clock, while the speakers were giving displays of their oratorical powers, and exhorting to a liberal contribution for the piiriles• the Magistrates, peace officers, and folk troops of ca valry from the barracks, under the command of Sir JOHN Bran, pounced upon the assembly with so much adroitness, that in a moment all the managers, leaders, and orators, with their papers, were in safe custody. A person of the same of DRUMMOND, who was to have headed the column, and another leader of the name of BOUGLILT, with other of the ringleaders, were instantly sent to prison. A detachment of peace officers, accompanied by the btagisLrates and a troop of cavalry, now set off after the pilgrims, who were on their way, expecting to be soon overtaken by their leaden with the money collected for their journey. Many of them were taken before they reached Longsight ; and at St(lck port bridge the cavalry surrounded the main body— all furnished fo' bivouacking. Upwards of two hundred were secured in the New Bailey Prison in the course of the afternoon. ",In the evening OGDEN, the Printer, with Josix• sT. us, BOUOLZY, and DRUAINOND, against whom it seems there were warrants from tke Secretary of StAte, were, it is said, sent off for London under a proper escort. We cannot find language to express our surprise at. the infatuation which the preceding details exhibit. In a future age it will not be believed that in the 19th century, people at large and out of Bedlam, could for a moment have conceived so mad a project. It has never been equalled in modern times, but by cases of superstitions phrenzy—by Buchanites, Bro therites, Sonthcottians, and other projectors of join. nies to the Land of Canaan I—Try such men for trea son and sedition ! ! Lock them up in Mad-!wawa, and you will render a real service to the comMunity. • as 4 COMMITMEN FS AT GLASGOW. After long and patient examinations before the Sheriff, fourteen persons have been committed for trial on the charge of conspiring against the Govern meat, and tabs., as sestawful sash—the same we sup pose that was read in the House of Commons by the LORD ADVOCATI of SCOTLAND. The following are their names :—William Edgar, Teacher in the Cal ton; John Keith, manager of a cotton mill in the Calton; James Finlayson, jun, writer's clerk, Glas gow ; William Simpson, spirit dealer, Anderston ; John M'Lauchlin; John Buchannan ; Hugh Coch., rane ; Hugh Dickson ; James Hood; James Robert son ; Andrew Somerville; John Campbell; Andrew WKinlay ; Peter Gibson, weavers , or other workmen. Of those formerly in custody two have been liberat ed—an auctioneer's porter and a weaver. Several printers and two booksellers have been examined on a charge of printing and publishing seditious pam phlets, and afterwards admitted to bail. The Gkupao Chrovisk denies the statement •made by Lord Commits in the Home of Commons, re. 'peeing the crewman of the persons who bad been imprisoned on charges of Sedition or Treason. They were not immured In dungeons; but lodged in rooms with wooden floors and a fire-place in each. Yesterday all the Scotch Peers, who are in town, took the oaths at Lincoln's Inn, to enable them to send their proxies to Edinburgh, previous to the elec tion of a Scotch Peer, in the room of the late Earl of Revues. _ _ _ Accounts, very disheartening to the Royal cause, have been received at Cadiz from Mexico, by a house of the ins commercial intercourse with Spanish America. They are not of so late a date as some accounts we have before bad, as they reach only to the end of August ; but their importance is increased by the channel through which they come. These advice. state, that the andadlty of the Insurgents daily increases, and that they freqoently come down from the mountains into the plains, where they con tend with the Royalists in bloody and strenuous ac tions. On the 9th of August they had carried an important pest occupied by 300 Spanish infantry, 100 of the Dragoons of Mexico, and defended with four pieces of cannon. The new Viceroy had been compelled by the situa tion of things to issue a Proclamation, in which he calls on all those attached to the Royalcause to take op arms. In this Proclamation the following eufieus passage is bound : —" In a short time a fresh army will arrive from the Mother Country, and will then re assume the offensive with vigour. la the mean time, I will confine myself to defend the approaches of this vast capital against the desperate attempts of the re bels," ate. tr.. In reference to the salsa letters, it is added; that this Proclamation has rather tended to increase than diminish the szistiag alarms. FLANDERS MAIL. A Mail arrived this morning. Great preparations are making for the baptism of the young Prince of the NZTHERLANDS, which is fixed for the '24th inst.— Mmy of the Generals of the Allies have proceeded to Paris to hasten the departure of the of the Army of Occupation. The Government of the Netherlands is negotiating with the Cabinet of the Tuilleries in order to obtain an extension of territory on the side of Menin. It is wished to incorporate with the Kingdom, of the Netherlands the village of La Montagne d'Hal luin, a position which commands Menin and all the environs, and which in fact is necessary to place the new fortifications on the side of that homier in a re spectable situation. New York Papers to the 4th tilt. reached us this morning, but their contents are of comparativtly little importance. Last night we received the Paris Pipers from the 6th to the Bth instant inclusive, and this morning those of the 9th. The long protracted discussion on the Budget has at length closed. It was oa Thursday agreed to as a whole by a majority of 135 to 88 ; and on Satur day presented by a Deputation of the Chamber to his MAJESTY. On the same day it was communicated to the Cbamber of Peers in a long speech from the Duke of RICHELIEU; and a Committee of Peers ap pointed to report upon it. The most imponant business of the year being now dispatched, the Session, it is said, will he very soon closed. One Journal eren ascribes the 20th instant as the date of its prorogation, and adds that the Ses sion of 1817 will not be convoked till next October. The health of his MAJESTY is now so much ink proved, that he takes his airings regularly when the weather is favourable. The last Bulletin respecting the health of the Duchess of %RR; announces the state of her Royal Highness to be very satisfactory. Count POMO nt BORGO is out of danger. Funds, Sth March, 61 f. 60 c. It is suppposed there are more powers of attorney ordered from the Bank of England at this time for the sale of Stock than ever was remembered at any for mer period, in consequence of the desire of Stock holders to avail themselves of the late rise, and an expectation that Ministers will ultimately be obliged to fund Exchequer Bills.

PRORSTRIANISSI.—A young man, natted Mullins, Started ow Monday morning to do seventy-five miles in twwty-four hours, on the Northampton-rond— which he performed, though with great difficulty, three minutes within the time.

All streets and avenues leading to the pies. were also barricadoed, to prevent the access of ear,:ages cr horses. The workmen, in the course of these ope rations, were assailed with much groaning and hissing from the multitude. Time unfortunate convict took his leave of his frienc's during yesterday afternoon with great conipoinr.. He said Itr had faced death in his country's cane: t• o often to tear it in any shape. In a subsequent inter view with Mr. DEVEJIEAUX, the Raman C idiotic Priest,. he expressed himself much saiisfi2d at th e prospect he had of being in a few hiours re:eased teat a world of trial and of sufErring. At a very early hour this morning great ttarnl•rn of people began to flock from all qu titers to the cent of exesumn. The enclosed space tretueen the ct.aius and the plaform was filled with Cons:able.; rlze chains were also lined with Constables and Stil:fieri, and no versen sr as admitted beyond them. At ten minutes before 4ght the awful sniemnity commenced. The unfoitynate criminal was brought forth lions tl•e debtors' door, Newpte, and placed on a cart, in the usual . masnrr, between the Executioner and his Assistant.' 'rime two Sheriffs, in their carriages, took their stations, one in advance, and the other behind the cart, atteaded by the Marshalmen and other City Officers. The procession then moved onwards to Skinner-street. The criminal was dressed in a blue jacket and white trowsers, and displayed a very bold demeanour. On arriving at the platform, he descended from the cart, and mounted with a quick and tirm Turning found to the multitude, he addressed then► in a lew wild and incoherent expressions, r_•peatedir exclaiming that he died a murdered man."

The crowd on bearing this hvgan cheering r all sides, and continued so for some rhinuas. Evary thing being at last ready, the unhappy man v.as launched into eternity. No sign of tear ever rscaFed him, anal he seemed to die without a struggle. The body having been suspended the usual time, was cut down at nine o'clock, and carried back it: 4 shell to Newgate, to be given to his relations for interment.
