Mr. bitOUGHAM could not. look to the absence of t he Honourable Member for Durham in that ve light in which it was viewed by other Hon. , , m bers. Hi , absence on the division arose from I the merest accident, an accident to which every Mem ber was liable. But it was known to the House and the country, that if there'was any one Member mote Iry lat than another in his attendance in Parliament, it was the Honourable Member for Durham, and therefore the acci.lent could not happen so safely to any Honotti able Member as to him (Mr. Lambton)— ( H ear , hear). He regretted the accidental absence of the Honourable Member, but be did not feel that his (Mr. L a mbton's) absence was a sufficient ground for closing the discussion. The Bill upon which the House were deliberating when the interruption took place, was then read a s econd time, and committed Or the Ist of May. On the m otion of Lord A. Haxuaon. it was ordered that an humble Address be presented to his Majesty, praying that there be laid before the House an Annual Account of the Hereditary Revenue of the Crown in Scotland, from the year 1806, detail ing the different sources from which it was derived, its applica uon an d the Amount of the Annual Surplus.

The adjourned debate upon the question of Par liamentary Reform, moved by Mr. LAMBTON, was resumed last night, and closed, rather unexpectedly, at an early hour. It would appear that Honourable and Right Honourable Members grew weary of hunt ing the question, and, as usually happens in a pro tracted chace, but few were in at the death. The Motion for a Committee was negatived by a majority of 55 to 43.—The Morning Chronicle will not allow that the abruptness of the division was owing to ac cident, but affirms that dy there was some little: ma nagement in the case." This we scarcely believe ; bat we have no hesitation in agreeing with the .same Pape!, that, even " allowing for this, the attendance was not such as the question deserved." The following ardent supporters of the question of Parliamentary Reform were among the Members who had retired to refresh themselves at the time the &vision took place: Mr. LAMITON the Mover, Mr. WRITBREAD the Act:ander, Mr. Hues, Mr. JAMES, Mr. Hownousz, Mr. S. GRAHAM, and Sir ROBERT WILSON. The Paris Papers of Sunday and Monday have ar tired. The accounts which they contain from Pied mont and Naples, represent the return to the old order of things as proceeding in both countries without op position. It is said, that Austria has given her consent to the establishment of a Representative Government in Piedmont, provided it receives the sanction of the legitimate Sovereign. But she is stated to have de clared explicitly, that she will not recognize the Con stitution of Spain under any modifications. If a Re presentative Government be granted to Piedmont, it •ill, no doubt, be conceded to Naples. In the latter kingdom the greatest tranquillity is said to prevail. The Austrian garrison in the Capital amounts to 30,000 men. Most of the leaders of the revolt have Bed ; and several Members of the late Parliament have sought refuge in Spain. Accounts from Spain of the 7th, received by express, in Paris, mention the arrival of some of the fugitives at Barcelona.-- Tbe news they brought is said to have produced the greatest sensation. TURIN, APRIL ii. On the information that the rebels, to the amount of 5,000 men, had left Alessandria to advance to Novara, and to endeavour to induce the Royal troops ID desert, General Count Bubna passed the Tessino au the night of the 7th. at the head of the Austrian troops, and proceeded also to Novara. While the rebels foolishly flattered themselves that itheir schemes would prove successful. they suddenly found a corps of rieilmontest Infantry marching ) upon them, and at the same time the Hulans ap- Pewed. The rebels were posted on the high road, with their Cavalry in front, but on the fug move- meat of the Hulans to charge, the Cavalry Red with filch rapidity that they could not be overtaken, not withstanding that they had at their head the first in stigators of the revolt, the persons who had 'chiefly eonnibuttd to corrupt and seduce the troops. These men bad so completely and so shamefully s e lf - PossessiOn, that they scarce halted until "7 11 , , • they artF►ed at Turin, thus leaving their soldiers be hind them. By ten in the evening they had rode 20 leagues, and thought only of the quickest and most certain means of escaping from the kingdom. Never did a more disgraceful route dishonour troops, or rather their leaders. On the 10th, the advanced guard of the Royal army entered Turin, and a part occupied the citadel. General Latour arrived two hours afterwards, with the rest of the troops. He intends to march to-mor row to Alessandria, if tha news of the surrender or dispersion of the garrison do not arrive during this night, as there is reason to believe it may. General Latour published the following Proclama tion on entering Turin: 'oldie Royal “ We, Victor Sallier de Latour, Armies, Governor-General of Piedmont, &e. " On entering the Capital with his Majesty's faithful troops, it i 4 pleasing to be able to make known our satisfaction at the excellent spirit with which the inhabitants of these countries Dave shewn themselves to be animated, and more particularly with the efficacious cares of the Decurional Body of the city of Turin, for the purpose of maintaining, as it has successfully done in very difficult circumstances, that tranquillity and order which had been liable to be seriously compromind. The brave Na tional Guard has worthily answered the intentions of the King,o who called them to that honourable service; they merit the praise and the gratitude of all good men, acid we doubt not that they will continue that zeal of which, in various occurrences, they have hitherto given unequivocal proofs. " Under the wise laws of your Sovereign, let the ancient tran quillity be renewed In our country : let all Civil, Military, and Administrative Officers resume the exercise of the functions which had been entrusted to them by his Majesty, and let them wait, with that confidence which belongs to good subjects, until the further intentions of his Royal Highness the Duke of Gene vas are known. " We promise that the troops under our command shall, as well as the allied troops, observe exact militsry discipline. " Far from us be the thought that there can still be found among the Piedmontese, men so deluded as to dare to insult them, or to endeavour to excite new disorders. Should that happen, the most severe chastisement will immediately follow such a perfidious attempt. ' But the Pieilmontese nation is wise, and the conduct of the people will prove to Europe, that they had no part in - the error of the small number pf men, on whom degradation and public contempt will be ready to inflict a just vengeance. " Twin, April 10. (Signed) " LATOUR." It is remarked that the first acts of the Revolu tionists were dated the 10th March ; the great move ment that was to have convulsed all the neighbouring States has therefore lasted only thirty days. The latest accounts from Alessandria state that the rebels have dispersed, and that the Chiefs have fled. NAPLES, MARCH zi. The remains of our army is re-assembling and re organizing at Salerno, under the command of Officers sent thither by the new Government, in the King's name. Besides the guards, the foot and horse gen darmerie are complete, and will soon recommence their duty. General Frimont has sent flags of truce to Sicily and other parts of the kingdom. Besides the famous Abbe Minichini, a canon named Blasis displayed, to the last moment, extraordinary ardour in exciting the people against Austria, by posting placards, which were almost immediately pulled down. The cleverest Members of Parliament have actually emptied the public coffers, and divided the funds. William Pepe is said to have got 100,000 ounces of gold to his share. But can it be believed that there was the half of this sum in the coffers?— Most of the other Members had fled to the provinces; but about a dozen, wishing to imitate the Roman Senate, assembled and had a sitting on the 24th, at the moment when the Austrians were entering the city. . They proceeded to discuss law projects, as if nothing had occurred, but two or three individuals soon arrived, who began to hiss the orators; the Sit ting was at last raised, and they adjourned 44 till to morrow." But on the morrow the house was shut up, and the people wrote on the doors " Sewage le ciarle," (Excuse the prating !) " Lieutenant Morelli, Chief of the first squadron which revolted in the month of July, and Which was afterwards called the Sacred Battalion, has escaped to Calabria. It is believed that Minichini accom panies him. A Hamburgh Mail arrived this forenoon, with Papers to the 13th. The extracts which we subjoin relate chiefly to the insurrection of the Greeks ; and, if the information - they convey can be relied on, there seems every prospect of the final separation of this numerous people from the Ottoman Empire : HAMBURGH, APRIL it. A communication deserving of credit, dated Brody, 23d March, has been communicated to us, stating that General Count Ldngeron, Governor of Odessa, had called a Meeting of the Merchants, and assured them that they might continue their shipments, not withstanding the events in Moldavia. Reports of , troubles in Constantinople, where the Greeks were said to have stormed the arsenal, seem to merit little credit but a Greek Army seems to be advancing towards that capital JASSY, MARCH ilk Prince Ypsilanti has marched with a well equipped corps, stated to amount to 20,000 Greeks, Moldavian:, and Annum, with fifteen pieces of cannon, and has issued a Proclamation of great length. The military preparations are continued with all diligence by Prince Suzzo, who remains behind, and if money be considered as a chief requisite, there is an abundance. Tranquillity is fully restored. The number of Turks massacred in the first commotion is said to be fotty, mostly of the poorest class. The I , Turks who were In Beidaschani have taken refuge , in Russia. HANOVER, APRIL Ordets have been given td put the causeway be tween this and Minden in the best condition, and to have a large number of post hones ready on that road during this summer. These measures are in consequence of the visit of his Majesq, who will take this road. During the King's stay, it is expected there will be a large camp in the neighbourhood. It is said that their Royal Highnesses the Dukei(of Cla rence and Cumberland, and also his Grace-the Duke of Wellington, will be here during his Majesty's stay. The palace of Herrenhausen is preparing for his Majesty's reception. We are happy to say that the fears entertained for the Prince of Cambridge are much abated, and that there is every reason to hope that he is out of danger. We have received to-day, Madrid Papers to the 6th of April. In the Sitting of the Sd, the Cortes resolved, on the recommendation of a Committee appointed to exa mine the political situation of the kingdom— "To thank the Government for having rejected and disapproved the principle of interfering with the internal affairs of nations, which several Powers seem to arrogate. " To invite the Government to pursue, with the greatest energy, the demands for explanations and guarantees which it has already made to foreign Powers, as to the light in which they view the affairs of Spain." An additional Article was proposed by M. Ro bIRRO ALPUSNTE I namely—" To invite the Govern ment to interpose with energy its mediation with Austria, Russia, Prussia, France, and England, for a cessation of the hostilities against Naples," but it was rejected by a majority of 50 to 34. The following extract is given in these Papers from accounts received from Vera Cruz of the 10th of December: " At seven in the evening, Don Jose Manuel Gallo came to the Governor-General of the province, and stated, that on the 19th he had set out from Puebla, with Don Pedro Martinez, a priest; and that on the 30th they arrived at St. Diego, where they stopped at the house of Manuel Melendez: that the following evening they heard a great noise in the street, and five persons armed with knives, commanded by one S tbino Cruz, came to the house; Cruz aimed the first blow at Martinez; but on his crying out that he was a priest, he checked himself, and dragged Melendez into the street, and murdered him at his own doer, his followers breaking out into acclamations, and huzzaing for independence and their General, Gua daloupe Vittoria. a While Sabino perpetrated this murder, the depo nent learnt that one Juan Moreno had surprised and murdered the Commander of the Fort and his Lieu tenant. These insurgents passed the night in drink ing and great rejoicing : the next morning, however, at the instance of Martinez, they released him and Gallo, and gave them a passport, signed by Crisanto Castro, who acts as Commander of the Insurgents.— Neither the Priest nor Gallo were present at the mur der of the Commandant and Lieutenant, nor saw their dead bodies. When they left San Diego, on the 31st, the tumult continued, but no injury had been done to the inhabitants or to the troops. a The Governor immediately took measures to sup press this insurrection, and detached about three hundred men to fall on the rebels at St. Diego as promptly as possible, and disperse them . in all direc tions. All was executed with great activity; and, on the approach of the troops to St. Diego, k was found that the insurgents had fled from that place, having first set fire to all the houses ; the inhabitants being obliged to take refuge in the barracks. Their families are ordered to be collected and brought to this place." Philadelphia Papers to the 21st of March reached us this morning. The Washington Gazette, of the 20th of March, says—a Another Insurrection, of a serious nature, has taken place in Mexico, under the direction of a descendant of MONTEZUMA; and that all tends to independence and a Representative System." The Marquis of LONDONDERRY returned to his seat, at North Cray, yesterday afternoon. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY Will be re-elected to a seat in the House of Commons for Orford, in Suffolk, on the interest of the Marquis of HERTFORD. Yesterday, the Marquis and Marchioness of CAN. DEN left town for their seat, the Wilderness, Kent. The Earl and Countess of PLYMOUTH will leave town to-day on a visit to the Earl of WHITWORTII and Duchess of DORSET, at their seat, Knole, in Kent. Yesterday, the Earl and Countess of AYLESBURY and family left town for Tottenham Park, Wiltshire. The Quszx received several Addresses yesterday, at her new residence, in South Audley-street. Her MAJESTY arrived there from Brandenburgh Home about one o'clock, in her private carriage and four, attended by Lord and Lady HOOD. lhe carriage entered the garden by the new entrance in Hill -street, and her MAJESTY alighted at the back of the map- Lion. In about a quarter of an hour she entered the principal drawing-room, when the following Ad dresses were presented to her : Hampstead Norris, Speen, Marlborough, Ram bury, Kings dare, Pamber and Inhurst, Litchlade, Clon field and Grafton; BedSeld, Stanford, and Dingley ; Hampton, and Southam ; Gun makers, Birmingham; Andover, Kiatbury, Whitstone, and Hungerford. —Her MAJESTY appeared in excellent health, and set out on her return.to Brandenburgh House, soon after two o'clock. A considerable crowd collected about the house durinS the business, and cheered loudly as the royal carnage drove off. . . ~Cy '. . ~i~l ~.. ._ ~ - LAW INTELLIGENCE. LINCOLN'S INN HALL, APRIL 19. QUEENSISERRY A N NVITIEA-THOM A S r. MONTGOMERY. This morning Mr. HEALD,. Counsel for the annui tants, applied to the CHANCELLOR to have MON 9s. 1041. paid by the Accountant-General to the ser veral annuitants of the Duke of Qieensberry, or their representatives, for one-fourth of the arrears of their annuities from the 2Sd December, 1817. to the 23d December, 1820 ; and that £16,918 15s. Bank $ per Cent. Annuities should be carried over by the Ac. countant-General t a•nd the dividends applie i by him in payment, to the subsisting annuitants, of one-fourth of the arrears of their annuities, during their respec- tive lives. The LORD CHANCELLOR was pleased to order the same accordingly; observing, that he wished to do all he could for the legatees of the Duke of Queens berry (under the peculiar circumstances of the case), and by making this order, he should de equal justice to the legatees and annuitants, as his Lordship had, by a former order, given the legatees one-fourth of the arrears of their legacies, and interest, and he now gave the annuitants one-fourth of their annui ties during their respective lives.

Of the above number, there are 264 males, and 225 females. The adult portion of both is 239. The number of families of which the whole consists is 113. A Commission from Doctors Commons is sitting at Plymouth, to inquire into the sanity of mind of the late Colonel CrIIOGHERTY, of Saltaish, at the time he made his will, by which he bequeathed property to the amount of £lO,OOO to a Gentleman of that place not related to him, having sons and daughters living in his house, to whom he left nothing. The following is an extract of a letter from Port au-Prince, dated 10th March : a You will, no doubt, have been informed of the disturbances that have broken out at Gonaives. The insurrection was to have been general through the North at the same time. The vigilance of General Magny (the Governor of the Cape) and General Marc, at St. Marc's, prevented it from taking place, by arresting all the chief conspirators.—General Richard and twenty-three others have arrived at Port-au-Prince, are under trial, and will be shot. "At Gonaives, the garrison and people of the neighbouring country took possession of the town, and made General Tranick and all attached to this party fly to the vessels for safety. They have plun dered all the town, of which they still keep posses sion ; but an overpowering force has been sent against them, and they will be speedily reduced. To form an idea of the barbarous atrocities of the most bloody monster (Christophe) that ever disgraced the human form, you should visit the North, as I did ; see the miserable victims that escaped from his cells, hear their tales of woe, and view their emaciated and mu tilated bodies. 46 I went through his famous citadel and Palace of Sans Souci. In the former, on the highest bas tion, I saw the body of the Monster ; it was slightly covered with lime and earth, which I caused to be partially removed ; he had been dead then six weeks. His cells were improvements on the celebrated Black hole of Calcutta. Men of the best constitutions lost the use of their limbs in twenty-four hours, and it was a miracle if they survived the foutth day. It would take a ream of paper, and more time than can afford, to give you a faint idea of what the un fortunate people suffered who were under his iron yoke. The waste of human life was incredible and I hear from the first authority, that Ferrier alone cost fifty thousand lives, and at least thirty thousand more annually died of hunger and fatigue at the pub lic works, besides the many thousands sacrificed in cold blood, to gratify the thirst which the ruffian bad for human blood." • -,11.0 1 for !if• elf List ~-~+~
