and his management, prudence, and notions of justice, did great credit to his heart and feelings—( Hear). — With respect to the arrears of the grant to the Duke of Clarence, they stood on peculiar grounds, quite distinct from the grant itself. If, in 1818, the House thought proper to vote him a grant of £6OOO, and he then thought proper to refuse, but came now, after three years, and signified his acceptance of that sum, it was his (Mr; Brougham's) opinion that the sum should be taken now as it was tendered then. It was said that the withholding the arrears would he taking the Royal Duke on his word ; and the gallant Officer opposite (Sir Joseph Yorke) had recourse, for an illus tration, to an old proverb— .. He that will not, when he may, " When he Will, he shall have nay !" Ile (Mr. Brougham) would not enforce the rigorous application of the saying, because that would operate, against the whole grant. All that could be fairly expected of the House would be to put his Royal Highness in the same state in which he was when he refused his acceptance of the vote of the House. For these reasons he would vote for the grant from the present.time. The House, he thought, had reason to complain of the manner in which the grant was proposed. There was no communication from the Crown on this subject, either during the present or former Session, and the House were left in ignorance, whether the Crown desired such a grant at all. The proposal certainly came through the Minister, but there ought to be a direct communication from the Crown. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said, the com nl:nicarion from the Crown was signified in the Mes sage which was sent down. There was no necessity for a new communication; and when the grant was raised in 1814, for the present Queen, then Princess of Wales, there was no new Message sent to the House. Mr. BROUGHAM said, that what he complained of was, that they had not any clear communication with respect to this vote. The Noble Marquis stated, that when the grant was raised to the Princess of l Wales, there was no communication. He (Mr. 1 Brougham) was not the in the .House, and if he ' had been, he would have made an objection to the ' mode of proposing that grant. He had, however,', understood that it originated from the House itself, and from a Member on his side of the House. The Marquis .of LONDONDERRY said, it did not originate with the House, or any Member of it. There was an intimation from the Crown, but subject to any regulation or modification which the House might think proper to make. Mr. IIUME, amidst loud cries of " Question!" said, that in proposing his Amendment, he did not think himself bound by the former vote of-the House, not being present when that vote was agreed to.— Flom what he had. learned, however, during the dis cussion, he was unwilling to persevere in his Amend ment, and begged leave to withdraw it, and suffer the Amendment of his Hon. Friend to go to a decision. The Committee then divided on Mr. atilltOßlA Amendment. The numbers were, For the Resolution For the Amendment Majority THE TURKISH EMPIRE. Oa themotion for going into a CommitteeolSupply, Mr. lt. BERNAL wished to know whether any serious disturbances had taken place in Constanti- nople and Pera ? and if so, - whether anything had been done to protect British subjects? The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said, disturb ances of a very serious kind, and circumstances of a very painful nature, had taken place; but our Am bassador, in conjunction with other Powers, had taken every precaution to protect Europeans; the Admi ralty had also sent out directions to protect our trade in the Archipelago. &ill he was scary to say that circumstances of a painful nature had taken place. GENERAL DESFOURNEAUX. The House then went into a Committee of Supply. Mr. IRVING moved, that a sum of I:20,000 be paid to General De,fourneatix, for losses sustained at the capture of Gliadaloupe, in 17%. Mr. W. SNIITH wished to know whether sufficient application had been made since 1794,? - If so he would cheerfully vote for this claim. 1V r. IRVING said, that in the early part of the Revolution of France, it would have been impossible to have made application; but since that time every application had been made. Sir JOHN NEWPORT objected to this vote, because no notice had been given that the claim would he brought forward that day. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, the last time the Committee of Supply sat, this • vote was in the hands of the Chairman, when the Com mittee was postponed. No difficulty had been found to ascertain thatthis Officer had been of much service to the British residents. But it was more difficult to ascertain the real amount of his losses ; in cousequence of which it was referred to a Committee, which re ported that the sum proposed should be granted. Mr. WARRE did not understand what important services this person had performed. Mr. IRVING said, the losses Lad been sustained in consequence of contracts for the supply of the troops and hospitals. Sir JOHN NEWPORT apprehended a dangerous precedent might now be established if the House were to take into consideration the loss individuals sustained in a revolutionary war. He was anxious to know what were the value of the negroes lost by the present claimant? Sir J. YOTtKE thought a claim accruing at so dis tant a pciiod should be thoroughly investigated be fore it was granted. Mr. T. WILSON thought it appeared from the in vestigation, that this claim was just and well boon Jed. If one quarter *of this sum could have been established originally, that, at compound interest, .would have amounted to the sum now claimed. 119 43 -76 Mr. BANKS, after a few words, moved, that the l consideration of this question should be postponed. Mr. IRVING said, he had agreed to a proposition of this description last year. Ile would now, how ever, agree to this nuaion, with an understanding that he should have precedence when next the House went into a Committee. The motion Was then postponed for the present. SUPERANNUATED LIST. Sir G. CLERK then moved a sum of £105,973 for retired allow•ances and superannuated half-pay, &c. to the Civil Department of the Navy. Sir J. YORKE thought this vote might be reduced. '`• HUME also centended for the necessity ef re- ~_.. u~ vision and reduction; it was impossible the country could long go on under its present burdens. He did feel it his duty to oppose this vote ; he thought not a single shilling should be voted on this subject till inquiry had been made on these diffeient grants. Mr. W. SMITH particularly adverted to the al lo+% antes of Mr. 'Picker. Sir G. COCK i;URN defended Mr. Tucker, who had been in the service forty years, and had given up the place of Purser and Secretary when Lord St. Vin cent plaCed him at the Board. Sir J.YORKE said Mr. Tucker had another situa tion, namely, a place under the Duke of Cornwall ; he was Receiver of the Duchy of Cornwall. Mr. HUME then required that Ministers should give a pledge to appoint a Committee to inquire into this List.—No answer being given, the Honourable Member said, as no one had deigned to give him an ' answer, he would now move that the Chairman should report progress. Upon this question the Gallery was cleared, but no division took place.—Strangers were again admitted ; when, after a short conversation, Mr. ARIUTHNOT said, at this late hour, he would propose no other Resolution, but move that the Chairman do report progress: The House accordingly resumed. The Chairman reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again on Wednesday. Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH moved the third reading of the Dwelling-house Robbery Dill, which was not opposed by the Attorney-General. The Bill was then read a third time; as ' was the Navigable Rivers Rubbery Bill. The House then proceeded to dispose of the other Orders, when Mr. F. PALMER, observing there were not forty Members present, the House was counted, and an adjournment took place , it Haas-Pus Oka to . Wednesday next. THE EVENING STAR. LONDO-.NI.

Bills ls. pr. par 2s. pr. Cons. for Acct. 77 % %• The merits of Mr. SCARLM'S Bill were again the subject of a smart conversation last night in the House of Commons. The Learned Author of the Bill has taken it much in dudgeon that it should be nicknamed, as he phrases it ; but, surely, when a Bill is sent forth to the world with the title of a Poor Laws Amendment Bill, it cannot be unbecoming in those who are desirous of preventing unsuspecting persons from being. deceived by so specious a title, to warn all and sundry that it is not what it pro fesses to be—a Bill to amrnd, but a Bill to destroy, the Poor Laws. Sir R.Wtcsos calls it a Bill for the spo liation of the Poor ; we call it a Bill to banish the Poor, a Bill to depopulate the country ; and were we not right in thus denominating it, we are sure we should' , never have the respectable authority of so practical a philanthropist and enlightened a Member of the House as Mr. GURNEY, for saying, as he did last night, that to pass the Bill into a law would be nothing less than an act of flagrant insanity.-- The author of the Bill is, moreover, much displeased that any attempt should have been made, previous to the Bill's coming fully under discussion, to make it the subject of clamour throughout the country ; and in this displeasure he has been, in an especial man ner, joined by Mr. BROCGIIANI, who has not hesitated to denounce the opposition which has been raised out of doors, as unprincipled and short-sighted.- -But here, aguin, we shall beg to place the autho rity of Mr. Guaxuw against that of both the Learned Gentlemen. The Honourable Gentleman (Mr. G NEY) professed his cordial, entire, and unmixed abhorrence of this Bill, and felt grateful to any Honourable Gentleman who, at any time, exposed it, and the oftener it !vas exposed the better! What, indeed, is the use of the publicity given to the introduction of Bills into the House, unless it be that the people out of doors may bestir them selves, to examine into their merits, and if they see anything threatened injurious to their interests, that they may in proper time petition against them ? Mr. SCARLETT would have nothing said about his Bill till it is in Committee ; that is, till it would be too late for the People out of doors to make any effectual resistance against it. We have too high an idea of the Learned Gentleman's • sense of ss liar is right and honourable, to imagine, for a moment, that he would be a party to anything like what is vul garly called smu g g ling a Bill through the House, especially one of public concern ; but what else can be the tendency of any attempt to check the earliest and freest expression of the popular opinion on any measure before the House? The conversation which has led to these remark , , took place on the presentation of a Petition by Sir ROBERT WILSON, from certain Freeholders and Ley- 1 payers of the Parish of Royton, in Lancashire, which was received, and ordered to be printed. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER afterwards moved the Order of the Day for bringing up the Re port of the Budget; upon which some conversation followed. The grant of £6,000 a-year, and £13,000 arrears to the Duke of CLARENCE was carried, An a division of 119 to 43. The Paris Papers of Wednesday arrived this fore noon.—Letters from Marseilles announce that news had been received there of a Greek fleet having passed the Dardanelles. It is stated, in commerciafletters from the Gre cian Archipelago, that the Pacha of Morea has made strong complaints to the British Government of the lonian Isles, of the rebels being furnished from these Islands with all sorts of warlike stores, and even can non. He threatens the most rigorous measures if they are continued, such as interruption to British commerce, and the Seizure of all British ships.— The Pacha has sent to Constantinople a detailed re presentation on the subject ; and it is in consequence of this that the Government of the lonian Isles is said to have intimated to all its Authorities to take no part, directly or indirectlf, in the Greek insurrection. " It is not believed, however," add the letters, " that these prohibitions will have any effect ; the Greeks ate too animated to be intimidated ; and the Euro peans in general, in Turkey or the neighbourhood, are favourable to the success of their cause, some from commercial interest, otters from enthusiasm.— Whatever may be the result of the measures employed against the Greeks, the fermentation will not, accord ing to all appearances, be calmed for a long time; and the insurrection will have remarkable conse quences, supposing that the Turks should even suc ceed in maintaining their power." An article, dated Bucharest, the Ist of May, states, that the day before news were received there of the Turks having crossed the Danube and moved on Bucharest and Tergowischt. At Obeschitin they fell in with thirty Arnauts of the corps of YPSILANTI, and cut them all to pieces, with the exception of three. In the district of Alaska a troop of peasants endeavoured to oppose some resistance ; twenty-five of them were killed ; the rest consulted their safety in flight, and the Turks did not pursue. The ad vanced posts of the Turks had entered Gimjazi on the 30th of April ; they leave in every village small detachments. ----- French live per Cents. Tuesday, 86 fr. 55 c. Mails have arrived to-day from Holland and Flan ders. We subjoin extracts from them of some ar ticles respecting the Greeks, in which, however, there is more confusion than novelty or importance: BRUSSELS, JUNE 3. An express has arrived at Aix-la-Chapelle, with the news that the King of Prussia will arrive there on the 26th June. His Majesty will review, near Coblentz, the second corps of the army. His Majesty will come, after the review, to Aix-la-Chapelle, where he will make a stay of four months, with his whole Court. ZANTP, MAY G. ' The union of Prince Kanteetizeno wish the Armies of Ypsilanti and Theodore, wilt be a powerful aid to them : he is rich, and the first sacrifices he has made are an indication of what he will be able to do in future. The 11Torea begins to breathe aftet the long disor ders, in which the Franks have incurred the greatest danger. Some of the foreign Consuls have particu larly contributed to restore order. One of those who has most distinguished himself is M. llugues de Pouqueville, whose brother was formerly Consul at Joannina. At the hazard of his own life he received into his hotel the unfortunate fugitive Franks, and has saved the lives of above 1500 persons. We are not acquainted with the issue of the trou bles at Smyrna. By what we learn, there has been a contest between the Franks and the Turks, in which it is affirmed that the former obtained considerable advantages, on account of the consequences which may result from them by depriving the Porte of the assistance which it expected from Asia. The following are some particulars of the bar barous execution of the Patriarch. Outrages of the most atrocious description, which make humanity shudder. were committed on the body of this vene rable old man, who was nearly 80 years of age. After his strangulation, a band of miserable ragga muffins was ordered to cut the rope, and to drag the body, tied by the feet, to the arsenal, where the exe cutioner threw it into the Bosphorus. It is easy to conceive the indignation which these • scenes have excited throughout the Greek Church, where the Patriarch, for his public character and private virtues, was as much honoured as the Pope was in the Latin Church in the 12th centnry. Every day the Clergy are bound to pray for him and for the Synod, and this daily recollection must increase their rage. The number and the riches of the Clergy must render them extremely formidable. On Mount Athos there are 20,000 Monks—in the Morea above 2,400, who possess a revenue of 918,000 francs, i.e. about a tenth part of the riches of the country. In the rest of Greece there may be about 20,000 , Papas. Considering the well-known fanaticism• of the Greek Church, it is easy to imagine the dangers to which the Porte has exposed itself by this pro ceeding. The Janissaries, it is said, have refused to -march. They pretend, that by their laws they must remain at Constantinople to defend that capital till the Sultan can put himself at their head, and lead them to battle. An additional misfortune is, that the Ramadan begins this year the 31st May, and ends the 29th June. It must be strictly observed, on pain of death ; and it is never till the kith of the Moon of Schelval, which falls this year on the 15th of July, that civil and military operations recommence in the Ottoman Empire. At all times, the Russians, when they took advantage of this season to enter Turkey, have beat the Turks without difficulty. To this it 'may be added, that the Turkish soldiery never serve for more than one campaign, which terminates for them at the new moon in September, which falls this year on the 26th of that month, because they must be back by St. Demetrius. Thus the campaign this year is 'for the Turks) not quite three months. At the departure of the Mail from Deal yesterday evening, the Asia, BALDERSTON, from China, was off the South Foreland, working into the Downs. Yesterday morning, at half-past nine o'clock, his MAJESTY left his Palace, in Pall-Mall, in his travel ling carriage, escorted by a party of Light Horse, for Windsor. A Privy Council was held yesterday at Carlton House, at which, it is rumoured, the precise period on which the Coronation of his MAJESTY is to take Place was finally settled. Three days have b een spoken of, the 12th, 16th, and 18th of July. The latter, it is thought, will be considered as the most convenient, and it is not improbable that the subject will be officially notified in the Gazette of to-night. —The preparations in Westminster Hall and in the Abbey are proceeding with all due celerity ; and the department of the Board of Works anticipate com pleting their labours by the Ist of July. There will still remain much to do in the decorative parts. The erection of the raised platform, extending from West minster Hall to the Abbey, as well as the stable for the Champion's and three other horses, will be com menced in the course of the coming week. The frame-work of his MAJESTY'S Throne, which will be covered with a square canopy,similar to the old Throne in the House of Lords, ha: been commenced. 771 n ARMY.

The 88th Regiment are expected to remove front Chester t o wards the conclusion of the present month. Wednesday sentlight there was a review of the 7th Dra t ", Guards, in a field behind ilaythorpe Farm, in the parish of Basford, in the county of Nottingham. The whole of the 11... giment were assembled on the occasion, and went through thei r manoeuvres in a masterly style, much to the satisfaction of Ma. jor-General Lord EDWARD SOMARSET, who was pleased to el. press his perfect approbation. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, the 2d Dragoon Guards die. embarked at Liverpool, from Dublin. Notwithstanding the very long passage they had, the hors..-s appeared to be in high condition.
