I f V suggestions of the Sweet Committee, be supposed that they cloud the tions. it must be remembered, would he nothing short it th-tt as 3r as reduCtion less field for it remaini them went to shake our it went by a side wine' they had already come. Honourable Members • met- vote, nor get rid by proceeding so prejudicial to the character of Parliament. Sir T. LETHBRIDGE said, he had formerly voted' that the conduct of his Majesty's Ministers, as related to taxation, had not come up to the expectations of. the House ; and on that opinion he should now vote. He did not consider taxation as the primary cause of evil; but still it was an aggravation of the distress, and therefore it ought to be reduced as far as possi ble. He considered the landed interest in that House as declining of late. Though represented by a most respectable body of individuals, yet there was some extraordinary influence in the House somewhere, which bad induced these Gentlemen to turn their backs on themselves-4 Hear, and a laugh).—He was happy to acknowledge his opinion, that his Majesty's Ministers were wen of highly-gifted talent; and that they bed the confidante of the People of England; but on the present subject he must differ from them, although he was always ready to support their general policy. Mr. J. MARTlN*supported the repeal. Sir E. KNATCHBULL also supported the repeal. Mr. T. WILSON opposed the repeal at present. Mr. BROUGHAM could not help observing, that if any man had heard all the speeches of the Members who bad that night addressed the House, with the exception of the con. cluding sentence of some of them, and the whole of the speech of the Noble Marquis, that auditor must have concluded, that there never was a more unanimous and harmonious assembly, or one in which there was less likely to be a difference in the decision—(Hear, hear). Indeed, not a word had fallen from any Hon. Gentleman, in which the reprehension of the princi ple of that odious tax had only been exceeded by the abhorrence which all pronounced at the machinery. All were unanimous in this expression of those feelings—all declared that the tax ought to be abolished—the only difference, a material one un happily, existitig between that side of the House and some of those who sat opposite, that it was to be abolished, bat at a fu ture time. Those only were precluded from supporting the mo tion of his Hon. Friend, who had pledged themselves not to support any proposition whatsoever of future retrenchment - (licit). If it were possible to save, according to the motion of his lion. Friend (Mr. Calcraft), 500,0001 or according to the suggestion of the lion. Baronet (Lethbridge), the whole amount of the duty, namely, one million and a half, to what ever view of the question the Members of that House gave their sum art, they were enabled to give a perfectly consistent vote. Before they proceeded to the division, he would implore lion. Members to see the object of that pretext of inconsistency which the Noble Marquis endeavoured to establish—to reflect on the labyrinth into which he endeavoured to beguile them. If any man bad, on the former discussions by which they were now said to be pledged, addressed Honourable Members in this tone, ic Beware of acceding to such a proposition; if you support or if you oppose such a resolution, you pledge yourself irretrievalgli against any future reduction or diminution of the public burdens. If such language had been held, the Noble Marquis himself would he foremo t in denying that any such interpretation could be fixed to the decision of that House. But when the decision was once made, the tone of the Noble Marquis was altered. All prospective measures of retrenchment or of repeal of taxes were forbidden. " Your vote is given," said the Noble Marquis ; I 4 you are pledged; I have you in possession; I have nailed you" .—(Hear, bear. hear).—That pledge fixed to a new surplus of the revenue, renders you incapable of supporting the repeal of any tax, though you all, in common with the whole coun try, concur in reprobating its principle, and detecting its odi ous and impolitic presiure---(Hear, hear, hear !).---Such was the fair inference to be drawn from the interpretation that night given to an extorted pledge. The Noble Marquis has told the House, that a majority of its Members had pledged • theneelv es against any retrenchment during the • Session.— He has said that he wanted not the support of any man, who did not feel with him, that any future repeal of taxation was impos sible—(No, no! from the Treasury Benches, and dissent from the Marquis of Londonderry). Did the Noble Lord not say, that he did not contemplate any 'further repeal beyond the re duction of the Malt Duties ?—(No, from the Marquis of Lon donderry). Well, he (Mr. Brougham) was glad to find be did contemplate a further repeal (Hear, hear); then let the Houle do its duty, anticipate th e N o bl e Marquis as the surest means to ss-cure for the people his still contemplated reduction—(Hear). The experience of every year sioce the peace must convince them that unless the Houle forced the Noble Marquis, that pledge would go unredeemed. If they boldly tell him that re trenchment must take place, retrenchment will take place; he will do now as he did in 1816—he will retract all that he said in the way of impediment to reduction ; and when he found the House in earnest, be knew the policy too well of bending to its determination—(Hear, hear). He (M r . B roug h am ) b egged to remind them of the small majority—a majority only of 9 , by which the motion for the repeal of that tax was in a former flee• sion negatived. What must be the opinion of the sound part of the country, of all that were estimable amongst their fellow countrymen (and he never undervalued any great maw of our population), if they saw that very measure which was then nearly negatived, now carried by a great Ministerial majority, though within that interval the sufferings and the distresses of the coun try had so considerably increased ? Mr. PEEL would state two grounds which induced him to cppuse the motion. The first was, that a gradual repeal of a tax on an article of consumption must occasion great inconveni ence to persons standing in the relative situations of producer consumer, and seller and buyer. The second was, that it was impossible for the House consistently with the resolution to which he had referred to vote for the repeal of the tax. The question was, whether any reduction could be made in the esti mates so as to admit of the repeal of the tax ? He was convinced Ira such reduction could be made. The whole revenue amounted to 55,000,0001 all of which, except 17,000,0001., was devoted to the Consolidated Fund. 'The remaining 17,000,0001 were ap plied to the support of the Navy, Army, Ordnance, and Miscel laneous Services. 'lt was impossible to mate•any reduction in any of those services. The Hon. Member for Aberdeen hid, indeed, proposed a reduction in one, but he bad, at the same time, suggested a corresponding increase in another. (Mr. Hume dissented.) He knew he must be very cautious in meddling with any of the lion. Member's statements.—(Loud cheering from the Ministerial, re-echoed from the Opposition benches.).-- Ile must repeat, that be bad understood the Hon. Member to propose the augmentation of one service whilst he wished to re duce another. He fully concurred in all that had been said by his Noble Friend, (the Marquis of Londonderry), and would oppose the motion. Mr. MABERLEY rose amid loud cries of " Question." His object was, in few words, to correct a statement which had fallen from the Right lion. Secretary. The Right Hot,. Secre tary said, that it was impossible to effect much retrenchment out of a sum of 17,000,6001. The Hon. Secretary was wrong in the amount he gave : the sum upon which reduction might operate was 25.U00 0001. The House was asked—" Can you reduce in the Army Estimates? or in the Navy?" No. But he (Mr. Maberley) would tell them where they might reduce: they might reduce the expense of collecting the revenue, which n ow amounted to more than 4,000,0001; arid from that expense they might deduct so much as would cover the repeal of the salt tax altogether—( Hear, bear). Mr. CA LC RA FT, in reply, said that, after the very liberal construction his proposition bad met with, he should occupy for a f e w moments only the time of the House. The observ a ti on which he had intended to make as to the collection of the re. venue bad already been made by i. r. Maberley, and in the view of that gentleman he entirely concurred. Independent of that however, the House would remember that the Noble on the opposite bench, but a few nights since, had , r had spro gaud a reduction of m ore t h an 1 , 000,0001. next y LON IiON. .

Ministers, who are so often defeated in the Clouse of Commons in everything except as to oumbers, had no cause for triumph last night even in this respect. Mr. CALCRAFT moved for the gradual repeal of the Tax upon Salt, a Tax which not only bears most op pressively on the poor man, but is even admitted to be injurious to agriculture. The way in which the question waS met was not a little curious : the tax was not justified, nor its injurious and oppressive tendency denied, but the House was told, that if they voted a reduction of half a million on the tax on Malt, it would endanger that Sinking Fund• of five millions which they •had previously sanctioned A defence of the Sinking Fund comes with a good grace indeed from the men whose rapacious hands have so often violated it, and reduced it to a mere nonentity. When the question of repealing one-third only of the tax upon Salt was put to the vote, Ministers had a majority °f lour only, in a House consisting of above Three Hundred Members; the numbers being—For the Motion, 165—Against it, 169. If, after this, Mi nisters still retain the tax, it will prove to the Coun try (if proof were wasting) that they will do anything rather than reduce the Public Expenditure. This forenoon we received a Flanders Mail, bring ing Brussels Papers to the 26th inst. The following are extracts: TRIESTE, FEBRUARY s. We have received commerciahletters front Alex andria, in Egypt, which come down to the middle of January. They also bring us some political in telligence, from which it appears that hostilities had for some time ceased between the Ottoman and Per sian troops; but the respective corps have, for the present, maintained their positions, and it is not true that the Persian army has made a precipitate retreat. The negociations between the two Powers are carried on at Teheran, whither the Porte has sent a Diplo. matic Agent, with power to negotiate on the footing of the status quo before tile commencement of hosti lities. This basis, it is said, is not acceded to by the Schah of Persia, who wishes to take advantage of the actual embarrassments of the Porte to recover possession of the provinces which the Turks made themselves masters of during the troubles in Persia. According to accounts from Alexandria the Porte was required to cede to Persia the whole province of I Curdistan, and several districts of Armenia. If the, Schah of Persia persists in this demand, the negoci ations will doubtless be broken off, unless the Porte should find it for its interest to protract them. Under i l these circumstances, the result of the negociations will depend on the turn which the relations between Russia and the Porte will take. Official notices have been giien at Corfu of the speedy arrival of an English corps, which is to be l distributed among the lonian IslindL This corps will come from the isle of Malta, where it will be repLiced by a body of troops that will come directly from England. The French Papers of Tuesday contain a long report of the proceedings in the Chamber of Peers, the preceding day, on the law on the Press, to which, in its form as passed by the Deputies, o vigorous opposition was expected. The folk/ming are extracts PETERSBURGH, JANUARY 20. We are in momentary expectation of the official Declaration of War. There seems no doubt that the campaign will be opened in the spring. Madame de Krudener, who is said to possess great influence over the Emperor Alexander, is equally for war. It is added, that the second army, commanded by Count Wittgenstein, will commence hostilities. It will be reinforced by the third corps of the first army, under the orders of General Woronzoff, and the fourth corps • Tabosel44Mirtted to this dal twialro , ,ito aw— plea ifold. l 4Acitiviircer as PDadvieftrire, the Hibt, attorney.: • , GENOA. vstatiAirres'"' . 1 " 1 1 We leatft that thf Court- MarthOl iitierma 0116- .4. noes with uppity the trial of thirty persons, mph cated in the tioubles that hate taken place is thasiity., Fourteen of are alreoA- I to &eft ...ri; • . FRANKFORT, FEBRUARY !O. The probability of peace being preserved between Russia and Turkey, which was generally believed alt Vienna, has suddenly • diminisfied; add especially among the merchants and bankers of the Austrian capital, who do business with the East, and are gene rally considered in very well informed. ni l News fions Constantinople, of the 29d of January, had been received at Odessa. There have been fresh troubles in that capital, and a sort of trine:lda lity prevailed there. The Porte had, however, arrested four of the new Greek Bishops, whom it had before appointed, in the most arbitrary manner, and joined each the Patriarch, as he is called, nominated by the Divan.

The following is the only extract worth making : " On the morning of the 2d, by order of the Go vernment, some regiments left this city, and others came in their stead, and marched to the Square (If the Constitution ; on which occasion the enemies of our Constitutional System thought fit to utter cries of Long live the Absolute king ! Death to the Consti tution r Immediately all the good Spaniards, mili• tary, and volunteers, who were in the square, were in flamed with patriotic ardour, and mortally wounded the detestable VINCENTIC Fuano, as a just reward of his fanatical folly and clerical seduction,making pri soners 'of others who appeared at this moment• in dif ferent parts of the square, who all received blows and stabs which they well deserved for their endeavouring to throw the files of one of the regiments into disorder. " In the afternoon ? the Political Chief, Don Abister, arrived with the Marquis of Campo Verde, and pro ceeded to the quarter where the national militia was drawn up. They were attended by militia cavalry, a number ex the King's - dragoons, many Generals, OtEcers, dte. It seems all the Serviles in this city were assembled, thinking their friends were entering ; but as soon as they heard these Authorities call' Long live the Constitution, Seville, &c: they were discou raged. In the evening some other enemies of the system acted in a similar manner, but were received with blows and stabs by the Patriots, and afterwards made prisoners.

A correspondent in the Limerick News of Monday, gives the following description of the scene which took place in Court when Baron M4CLELLAND passed sentence on the above persons : 44 I had the melancholy opportunity of seeing the thirty-two unfortunate wretches who were sentenced last night. Gracious GOD! what a sight—it baffles description. When I saw them the Couft was clear, with the exception of the Jury-galleries, which were so crowded that the Gentlemen could not get out.— Such screams— : such lamentations—such wailing', I hope never again to witness ; the old man of seventy three alternately bewailing the fate of eight children, and calling aloud for his Priest. 4 Oh! is there a Christian that will bring me a Clergy !' But to the three unfortunates doomed for Monday, the woman (Wackwall), was the best witness of her sex ever pro duced at a table ; nothing could disturb her determi nation. Brien is a fine fellow, nearly six feet high, but he betrayed much weakness in-calling to every Gentleman he knew, saying, be threw his life in their hands, as if they could reverse the Judge's fiat. Re laghan is of the middle size ; he betrayed some weakness in crying, &c his brother escaped, but from his manner, and the . state of his feelings, it was very evident he would as soon be convicted; But Mahony, who • is a most determined fellow, ex claimed against the woman's evidence, and in , a loud voice (while handcuffing), said, 4 where is the pro tection thelaws afford to the poor apu, when so many lives hang on the evidence of one woman? he said ;his so loud as to draw the cries of all the rest ; he told them all .to give up crying, there was nothing for it but to have recourse to their prayers at once ; this he repeated, and said; 4 It is better to die innocent than be transported guilty, any way."

Yesterday being appointed for the battle between Acton and Kendrick, the Black, it was a day of much bustle in the pugilistic fancy, as two other battles were also nominated for the da i s Oar. Acton had once been beat by the Black, and both were consi dered men high on the list. There was a rare set out on the road of every description of vehicle that could bv p.ac d u;.(os wheels, moved on by grads of every sort and size, front the li ghee asettkd blood and bone, to the roseers that a knacker %soli d scarcely stand half a ban each for.
