The debate on the resolution proposed by the CifANCl:t.t.o% of the Exc n r.Q La, which declarest that there is no groom, for charging the Ito VAL MK with 1 , PrIM:11 corruption, or a•ett-) nivacce at the practices disclosed before the Committee, took place on Friday. Two divisions took place on that night. The CH ANCEL LO R of the Excit lay) co. wished to substitute another Resolution for the one of which he had originally given notice. It av;i'S oppos:d by Mr. TIERN Ey, who suggested his intention of moving an Amendment upon it.—The C:1,1 C El. LO of the Excur.quEit i however, withdrew his new Resolution, and proposed the Resolution (his second Resolution) which he had stated to the House on the first day of the discussioa of t evidence,. Sir T. Tr tyro st moved an Amendment, declnsing it to be the opinion of the House, that the Drake must have been aware of those abuses, of which evidence had becn given at the Bar of the House. file first division was on Sir T. Tv N ' 6 amendment, which was rejected by a majority of 191. The second division was on Mr. Pracnv A L'S second resolu tion of acquitting the Dui: t: of personal corro pt i on or connivance. This resolution was carried by a majority of 1:IG111'1 . -1'11; 0. The 'mintier of Members wito divided on this second resolution was greater than that which divided on Si rT.Tr ItTox's Amt•nd inent. Of 474 Members present, 190 divided against the 14 em;lit lion of Acquittal—a proportion less than 3to V. The discussion, however, is not yet tinished—Mr. Bitaccr livrocasT moves his Resolution on Monday, which is in substance " That tho House bad observed with the deepest regret that there bad ex isted a connection the malt immoral and unbecoming; nod that it had given rise to an interference in official matters, which had a tendency to give the colour of authority to transaction* the must criminal." There were various reports in circulation yesterday ;—that the 1)17 K E of Yo K intelifiCd in re-ign; and that. an adjoui ment, or dissolution, of the House of toarnons was in agita tion. We give credit to time of these reports ; and as to the resignation of his Royal Highness, we have observed nothing in the discourse or conduct of his friends, which would warrant the supposition that the exalted personage felt any iuclinution to wit htVate his from the pubiic s;:rvice. Saragossa has fallen ;—and has tort an eternal monument to every age and country of the sublime devotion of her inhabitants. She has fallen ; but as tong as virtue and honour will be objects of human veneration, her defence will he recorded among the sublitnest acts that ever com manded the admiration of mankind. How we pity and weep over the distresses of such of her defenders as have had the misfortune to survive! Those who have exnired under the smoaking ruins of their city, have had a v;lorious and an enviable fate; but the captive, the undiluted, the distracted 'matron, the defenseless virgin, the widow, the. orphan, these are the truly deplorable victinic :—t hese are the beings whose sufferings,whose despair, and abandonment would extract tears and sympathy from their oil callons,the most obdurate. Let an English matron, and father tl i n!re to themselves the situation of a city taken bs , storm, aban donned to the brutal lost and rapine of 50,000 Poleg, Ita lians, and Frenchmen,—the refuse of the three most licen tious and unprincipled nations upon earth—their natural savageness worked up to frenzy by an intemperate ese of brandy ;—rushing with their litinds besmeared with blood, into the defenseless houses;--let them, if they have c , 91- rage to cast a glance at so heart rending a picture, behold the distracted females flying from chamber to chamber bl - 4- fore these ram, reeking with the murder of their hls. - se, , . • • MARCH 19.
