SESSIONAL RET R 08PE C .r. As it is not improbable, that a late event may produce a change of administration, and that a change of administration may produce a dissolution of Parliament, a review of the last session becomes at once dough desitable, and doubly important, as it may refresh the memories of the vote's on a number of points, which ought not to be forgotten, an the occasion of a general election, and even if a general election should not take place, it may yet be well that their constituents should be re minded of their obligations to their representatives, and be enabled to judge how far by tm honest discharge of their duty, as the organ of those they ought to speak the wishes of, they have intitled themselk cs to their thanks, and to a continuance of their confiience.—ln the Ministers speech, read by the King on opening the session, his Ma jesty was ;nude to say that " that the estimates of the present year, had been framed with every at tention to economy that the circumstances of the coulary would permit"—and determined to persist iu th:s falsehood, Ministers resisted every attempt at reduction, in which resistance they were almost invariably supplied by a in .jority of the " Re presentatives of the Peuple"—yet SRAME, on the part of those Ministers, achieved what minorities cf the House of Cvannun.: would not call fur, the .~+___ THE NATIONAL REGL useless lumber of the Admiralty and the equally useless lumber of the post.office were both removed —the unnecessary suspension, in Ireland, of the Habeas Corpus Act was the next enormity which met the support of the " Honourable House," and though, to the credit of the Irish Government, no advantage was, taken of it, the " Representatives of the People," whom they entrusted to the possibility of being floczed and tortured with impunity, have no claim to their thanks on that account.—the re. duction of theintere:a on the Navy Five Per Cents, against a stipulation as specific as possible, was the next act,_ by which as palpable a wrong was done, though not to so great an extent as if they had can celled the whole of the funded debt—in addition to which„this dishonesty was attended with a positive addition to the amount of the debt of mom than seven millions sterling ! A majority of the honour able House next declared against a committee to revise the gross extravagancies of the Civil List, and immediately after approved the appointment of young Wynne on-an embassy to Switzerland, at a charge of 5 ; 9001. for the first year.—The Alien Act allOrded. the next opportunity for the honourable House to prove how completely opposed its members were to the high and honourable feeling of the nation at large—an Alien Act had never disgraced our statute book, in time of peace, till since the entrance of the Allies into Parish—We have thus takes a summary review of the. last session—if a general election -should take place let those of our renders who have votes ask, on each important point, on which side the candidates voted, and let him be just to himself ' and to his country, by refusing to re-innate a man as a =miser in the Legislature who has forfeited the esteem of every honest man, by voting, even in one instance, in favour of a villsnous proposition—this sort of reform in Parliament would be effectual..— this sort of reform in Parliament is in the power of the electors if they .have the honesty to exercise it. DEATH OF THE MARQUIS OF LONDONDERRY. Perhaps the severest visitation of Providence upon the human race is the alienation of the powers of mind—under such a visitation, on Monday morn ing last, the Marquis of Londonderry, by dividing the 'carotid artery, met his almost instantaneous death.—As a private character the Noble Marquis was universally esteemed—his manners were ele gantly urbane, his condescension to his luferiors par ticularly captivating—as a husband, landlord, neigh. boor, and master he was a worthy example, and the gnat. for his melancholy cud, that reigns must ap parently .n every circle, where he was known as a private individual, attests most strongly the verity of our eulogy—as a public man we have uniformly opposed his measures, because we thought those of them that had a foreign relation were either destruc tive of the interests or character of this great empire, while those which related to our internal Govern ment were opposed to the bust principles of English liberty, and calculated rather to establish a sceptre of iron than sac of love—under thesedirelings, while we deplore his death as a man, but we cannot regard it as a boon, if we look at it in a political point of view, because we hope that by it the pre sent adminstration have received a death blow—a blow which will secure their retirement, and open the door to those who arc much more likely to consult the honour and best interests of the country, by establishing a government of conciliation in Ilieu of one of tyranny and violence. A report was current on Wednesday last, that the Duke of Wellington had fallen in a duel with the son of the late gallant Marshal Nay, at Brussels, but we can trace it to no authentic source.—We have always consideNd that the Marshal was little short of murdered, and if his son were to challenge the Duke of Wellington we see not how he could evade a meet ing —his birth is higher than the Duke of Welling ton's, and the bravery and ability of his father, as a soldier, certainly equal--a meeting, i owever, does not arptar to have taken place. Ve this day give the trial of the Gaoler of 11. cheater.—That thePuinistcrial prints should before trial defend the butt, if his black kingship were denounced by an opposition member would not sur. prise us, but t h at eller his conviction they should become the apologists •of the miscreants brutality, does astonish us, yet such is .the fact—and what can the English public think of those newspapers, that can attempt an excuse for such cruelties—as are sworn to, and not contradicted by the witnesses —nay even confirmed to his eternal disgrace by Mr. Eaten, (for his name ought to be imprinted on the memory of every one), the surgeon of the prison, who allowed his medical appointment, to be made instrumental to the vengeance of the wretch! The-insanity-under which the Murquis of Lon donderry committed the fatal act, was established beyond all doubt. Many circumstances, in them selves considered trifling at the time, have since transpired, and have afford the most conclusive evi dence. Had it been possible or decorous to have demanded his Majesty's testimony, we are informed 'that that illustrious personage would have statetl Ito conviction, that a great change had taken .plate in Lord lanulonderry's general demeanour and con.. versatiom This is affirmed to'have struck his Ma jesty more particularly on Friday the 9th, when his Lordship waited upon him to take leave, before his Majesty's departure for Scotland. Ott the same day. his Lordship, atier walking in a quick manner up and down Cockspur-street, suddenly addressed the 'master of'the British Coffee-house, who was stand ing on the step of his hotel, and asked if Sir Edmund Nagle was in the house. The master rerlieilin the negative, upon which his Lordship iesisted that he was, in a way very unusual with him, and upon again being assured that he was not, he beat his hands together, and walked away. By the Brazil packet, letters from Rio de Janeiro of the 4th, from Pernambuco of the 26th, and from Bahia of the 21st of June, have arrived. Those from Rio de Janeiro being only one day later than the sailing of the Beaver ship of war, do not convey any additional intelligence. In Pernambuco every thing was tranquil. They had elected the members ter toe Cortes or General Assembly at Rio, who were about to repair to that capital. Bahia was also tranquil. It appears that the accession by•this pro vince to the measure of convoking a General Assem bly at Rio, for the purpose of ascertaining the sentiments of the provinces respecting the continu ance of their dependence on Portugal, will not be muds longer withheld.. Arrangements for a.public declaration to that effect was secretly making by the authorities, and it was expected before the end of the month that ; an intimation would be given to the Portuguese troops, by which they had been so long overawed, that they must either allowthe 6T neral opinion to declare itself freely, or embark fur Portugal. DVSLIN, Auc. 11.—It is with sincere sorrow we announce the sudden death of Sir S. Auchmuty, by a fall from his horse, while tiding yesterday in the Phenix-park with Col. Thornton. It is suspected that he was sub . ,ect to fits, and that having been seized with one he fell from his horse. He was car ried to the Royal Hospital, but without any signs of lifee-he was dead. Sir Samuel succeeded General Baird as head of the staff in Ireland, the office of Commander-in-Chief, held by Sir David, having been abolished. He was previously in good health, sal attended the theatre on the preceding night during the performance of the tragedy of Walla. His death has cast a deep gloom over all this city. Preparations had been made for the celebration of the anniversary of his Majesty's birth-day, his land ing here, &e. with a review in the Park, &c. this day, but they will be all, suspended by this melan choly event. This lamented hero was one of the most gallant and distinguished officers in the service. He was equally esteemed and beloved in professional and private life. He was Knight Grand Cross of the Bath, and Colonel of the 76th regiment of foot. The East !tidies and South America were the prin• cipal scenes of his military exploits. He was in the tifiih year of his age. Salvador Gabarda, one of the guards who assassi nated their officer, Lieut. Colonel Lamb:Moro, was executed at Aladsid on the 31st ult. at noJn, and in the presence of the whole garrison under arms, and of the battalion composed of the guards who remained &WIWI to the constitution. lie was first publicly degraded, then strangled according to the Spanish custom on a stool fixed on the scaffOld, andby means of a screw which renders death instantaneous. Ills right hand was afterwards cut otr, pursuant to the terms of his sentence. lie made an attempt to address the people, but having been desired to de ist, he obeyed, and sat down of his own accord tat the fatal bllndl.
