AMONG the Parliamentary proceedings of the week, the most remarkable are the discussions which have taken place on a Petition of the elder Evans, mow eomfine:. on a suspicion of treason, in Horseolon ger-lane prison. This man has ret fulh a long string of acts of oppression on the part (,f the Sceretary for the Home Department, in the share of a Petition to the House of Cormnons, which Petition was placed in the hands of Mr. Bennett, and by him laid befire tha 1 !pose. As we consider the whole trr.nTaction as a part of nystcm which has long bcen carried on, the object of w hi c h is t o brirg all men in power into disrepute with the country, we will take the trouble to an:ialyse this Petition, and see how near its suE.ort:'rs were to the truth when they asserted that they wen: bound to 12.ntieve almost all ttie :diegations contained it. The principal grievances of which the Petitioner complains, arc thenc 1. That is Petition which Le prepared to be laid hefnn• the )louse of COMMI111)% in r, brim' y last, n surpii,Neil in the frliee of th.• Socri tary of State for the lime Depsi tinent. 2.

That be wu. ut a lots to enitipreligiel the came of the ai ie.t of I.OlAt If Willi 4011, "tie Ull'y htioc not been Ment bets of any political auweiation, or t.ili,,eat purl in tiny politi cal meeting." " or been found Wit or encoti• agbig tiny .r.on, or permit, to the parstiit of political meat St eluelt arc the stat:ments which this man, with that impudence, which is " the budge of all his tribe," has made in the face of his errantry ; and most fortunate he has been in obtaining supporters, for they heve not been content with merely defonting the truth of the allegations, but have asserted for Strut, a falsehood, which does not appear in the Petition—which even the impudence of Mr. Evans would flat permit him to assert—that he was denied the use of pen, ink and paper—and that suclyseverity was must severe, particularly as Mr. Evans was something of a li terary character, " having written many of the pamphlets in defence of the Spenc , an system." With respect to the first allegation in this extraor dinary Petition, it was proved satisfactorily to the House, that, so far froth the fbrmer Petition having been suppressed in the office of the Secretary of State, it was, at the particular retrtest of the prisoner, de livered into the hands of M. Harmer, the prisoner's solicitor, and by him given to Mr. Bennett, who, in the month of February last, presented it to the House This circumstance Mr. Bennett did not happen to re member; but, in a men who is so actively employed for the good of his country, a little forgetfulness may be excused. The npotNy, however, which is made fbr the falsehood is carious enough—" Mr. Evans, cut off as he is from all communiet.tktm with the world, might not have known the filet of its having been pre sented i" and yet Mr. Evans himself', tells us in his Petition, that his wife is - permitted to see him every day. Is it not probable, that, in a matter which con cerned hint so nearly, his wife would be communica tive? In her conversations with him, could she Lave had any thing of more moment to communicate ? His second ground of complaint is, that he was put in irons, and confined in a dungeon ; and a little farther on he says, the magistrates who visited bins the next day approved of his being in irons. That he was put in irons is true ; it is the practice in that particular prison, and the Secretary of State had omitted to order it otherwise in this instance; but so far from the magistrates who visited hint on the next day, approving of it, they made an immediate repre sentation to the Secretary of State, and the irons were removed. And instead of the place of his confinement being a dungeon, it is a light spacious room ; in fact, it is the same room in which Mr. Leigh Hunt expiated his offence, and we have been told by persons who visited that gentleman during his confinement, that, but fur the barred windows,, tho room presents no ap pearance of a prison. He, thirdly, complains that the use of eaniles is prohibited, and coals, except fbr culinary purposes. This, it also appears, is not tine. Candles are given out in the winter at the discretion of the keeper, and coals are allowed in sufficient abundance. The next charge is, that he was deprived of his flue; end this, it appears, was true. It was the prac tice of the prison not to allow the use of musical in struments. But did it rcepire a Petition to the House of Commons to recover a flute? The SeereMry of State ordered its restoration the moment he was in fbrmed of the circumstance ; and if, instead of an im pudent Petition fraught with lies, a request had been made to the Secretary of State, is it not must pro buble, that what the prisoner wished would have been granted. The next allegation is of es barefaced a character, that we blush for the man who could hie written it, and still more for him who could defend it. Evans says, that he had not been allowed to set his foot out of the room since April lost. And yet it ap pears be has daily liberty to walk in a passage near five feet wide, and seventy long, with a large window at each end, giving a free circulation of air. I lavirg gone through all his charges against his prr secOors, he enters upon his justification, and tells us that neither himself or son, had taken part in any po litical meetings, or been found aiding, advising, or encoumOng any person or person; in the pursuit oF political tneasures. What then slt.:11 we say for the viracity of those who have told us, that Mr. Evans is something of a literary character, and " has written many of the Spenceun pamphlets." Can a man who has written many such pamphlets, be said not to have encouraged persons in the pursuit of po litical measures? In his younger days, Mr. Evans was an enthusiastic admirer of republican France, and in later yea. s, he became an ardent supporter of that mischievous scheme votuulgated by the idiot Spence ; a scheme which goes farther in the destruction of all established rights, than any thing that has preceded it ; and yet we are to believe that he had never even advised the adoption of' a political mcasuie. What teinis of censure •an we find fio those men who have lent themselves to a man like this ? to a man who for twenty five years h s reviled the Owernment under w!tielt he lives, and whose last act is to insult the legiiaturc of the nation by a rcii:s of fllschectr., .TVLY 7. intended only to wake an impression upon the puhlir, favourable to hiluelf, and iniariouz. to the c:dstiug Ge vermueut. It is quite lamentable to see the avidity with many of the daily prints seize upon every ciretenstane which, by twisting and falsifying, they can make instru mental in raising a clamour against persons in power, or those it connectel with them.—Tko Chronic': of Monday last, asserted that the Duke of Wellington on his return from a dinner-party et Groenwieh, on the preceding Saturday, was escorted by a body of lances, who turned all the carriages on the road, to the right or left, to make way tbr Grace's. On Thursday, another paragraph appeared, saying that they learnt from the Coerier, that on Sa turauy Lord Wellington dined et Esher, and conse quently could not be escorted from Greenwich by lancers.—Hear now the miserable apology for the former falsehood.—" We can only say, that the ser• wants declared the coach was that of the Duke of Wel lington !" The servante, truly !—which is to be most deplored in this instance, the stupidity of the par/graph collector who furnished this precious article, or the wil • ful blindness of the editor who inserted it ? The very assertion bore the stamp of falsehood upon it, teu'i would have been received as such, by any person or ccunnon understanding, who was not perpetually grasp ing at every thing which can excite discontent in the breasts of the lower orders, or leap to swell the cry of a military despotism ! The Foreign Papers of thr past week have beer. more interesting than any we have received for some time. They do not indeed give us any details of poli tical importance, but they all concur in representing the nppcarance cf the crops ns fleet lueuriant, and that the fivourable weather had already hegua to operate in lowering the markets. In France, particularly. the Rye harvest having berme the price of grain, of all kinds, had experienced a rapid decleneien. New Barley, of a fine quality, was exhibited in the market at Niort (department of the two Sevres, adjoining La Vendee), on the the 26th ult. At Colmar, in Alsace, the opposite extremity of the kingdom, the e.ck of Wheat had fallen from 105 toe.; francs. An article in one of the German Papers last reeeieed, mentions, as a probaldo circumstance, that nt„,,nivia dons arc actually going forward between the Allied Powers nail the French Government, to remove from France, within the present year, a Second-fifth Of the array of occupation. By a mail fimn the Brazils, letters have been ro ceived, from Rio de Janeiro to the 6th of May, and from Bahia to the ltith of the same mon!h. The fix mer state that the preparations of the Brazilian Go vermnent were carrying on with activity and vigour to complete the expedition against Pernambuco. A men of war, with nine transports under convoy, and u force of upwards of 5,000 men, was expected to sail on the 6th and 7th of May ; and it was calculated that this military and naval armament would suffice fur the re daction at' the rebel power: on the other ham . % a belief prevailed, that the insurgents, in full expectation of' an attack, had provided ample means of naiistance. Ea his is represented as being steady in its allegiance to the King. THE REVFNUE.—We regret to find that the quar tet's account of the Revenne made up to yesterday leaves a deficiency or an excess of charge beyond the income of 3,800,0001, from which, however, is to be deduct: AI a sum of ahoat 900,0001. on account of fresh payments on bills. The reports of this defieency had the edict of depressing the Rind& it is reported that Lord George Cavendish will be the new leader of the opposition instead cf Mr. Ponsonby. By the concurrent testimony of screral passengers, just arrived at Brighton from Dieppe, we learn, that the eniversal appearance of .he crops in France affi.ell the most flattering prospects of an abundant harvest. The crops of hay have been completely secured, and never got in in better order. Wheat has Wen full 40 per cent. At Rouen a greater depression has taken place ; and out of twenty-five vessels arrived there from England with wheat, not one cargo was suld, fear want f . littechsers. All kinds of vegetables are ahundaet and cheap in Paris.—The Captains of the pelets fram Brighton to Dieppe have frequently carried aver par cels of English neasspapvrs for different agents and per sons at Dieppe, in order to be forwarded to Rimer % Paris, and other stations. Now they are rearcheil for and seized with more avidity than contraband goods, and they are even taken out of the trunks of travellers. But they may be obtained through the post office at a charge of 3s. 7d. cuch ! The Funds have experienced a depreb:4on in conse quence of a deficiency in the revenue fir the 1...5t ut.ar ter. The report, we regret, is true. The folloy:ing is the correct stat,nnent:— 1:: ^ OVIE .JF. AND CHANGE UNIT:, TUE. CONSOLIDATED TUFD. TIIL QUM/TERN ENDED ,SYII JULY 1816 AND iblit Tom GREAT ISRITAIN.
