A spot hat. been pointed one, but so barren, that it was found wholly impossible to make use of it. The Noble Lord, after having quoted the statements of Pustaae respecting these people, adverted to the new mode of levying taxes which ha•l h.•en rotorted to by Sir T. Maitland, who, though he held only the situa tion of Lord High Commissioner, possessed more power than the Flag of the country by whom he was sent, or the powers by whoa► he was appointed. The Noble Lord went on to state, that taxes had been imposed— taxes which had never entered the head even of the' . ClouseerOr Mille Exchequer. There was a tax of a dollar per wanth for well water, and a similar tax for pomp %vat. r. The Noble Lord, after ,owe other ob servations, and after reading some extracts from the dispatches of Sir T. Maitland, concluded by moving for a Copy of the 3lemorial presented by the Secre tary of State for the Colonial Department, by two natives of Parga; and also for Copies of Dispatches from S:t T. 31aitland respecting the Cession of Parga. which it would be difficult to procure; Government authorized them to receive the full value of the pro- perty they left behind ; they received the full value, they were not entitled to more. He was not ignorant that from erroneous views held ant to them, extrava gant expectations were raised antongst them; but in the discussion of this question, the House, he hoped, would not take from those people the value they placed upon their property, hut would rather take what the fair valuation of that property was. With respect to the Church property in Parga, it was altogether distinct from the claims fur private property, aild :churches were assigned to the inhabitants in those places to which they had been conveyed. With rii spect to the valuation of the property generally. it was nut founded on any rough calculation, I ut on the actual value of the property : anal it was ren.arkable that no general observation bad .bee-t made—no slao had received his proportion had marie ?lay complaint whatever. With respect to t!.e value of a!)- solute property, there was no indivialotal objection to the remuneration allotted to each. '1 he Noble Lord imputed much harshness and severity to Sir Thm.-as Maitland ; but if the Noble Lord hut w the case as really stood, he would regret having ever made the al legations that came front hint that night. The whole of• the instructions to which the Noble Loral Alaska were directed merely to prevent some of the libourimg . population from continuing. on their arrival at Coif in a state of idleness; and surely the Noble Lori would not find himself prepared to find fault with such a regulation, unless, indeed, he was prepared to main. tain that it was the duty of Government to maintain Huse persons in a state 'of idleness. He did not go down to the House prepared to defend the condact ut Sir Thomas Maitland ; he could not collect from the notice of the Noble Lord any necessity of entering into styli a defence. The Noble Lord certainly spats tinder a total misappreheniion, for the conduct of Sr Thomas Maitland did not justify any attaelt.spon hitu- The lion.

Maitland, but it was en'y r tiered when it was fund that barely seven days pra vision remained in the island, and that it sisfutrai impo.sible to induce merchants by any otters to under take to supply the island. Sir R. Witstas said he hail always thought it im possible for this country to keep Parga, the possession of %%Lich by the English, would be as invidious ttre poss. ssion of Dover by the French would be.

The former, he oh 41, haul been abolished by a recent Statute, and he thought the objections to private whipping were flimsily as strong, if not stronger, than those which applied to this species of punishment when inflicted publicly, because the one was intiieteil by the gatiler, secluded from the public eye, who might, in his dis cretion, either make this puhisliment one of the se verest and most excruciating a hick it was possible to indict, or a mere matter of fume The Hon Member' said he should propose to extend the Bill which he hoped the House would permit him to introduce, to present the tiovernors of lunatic asylums, - or houses for the reception of insane persons, and Masters of workhouses, air houses of industry, from whipping fe males abort. a certain age, under a severe penalty.

Lord JoiiN Itcssru„ in rising to bring forward his motion on this subject, was aware how little any mat ter not connected with the great question which occu pied the minds of the House and the public would be attended to. The Noble Lord proceeded to state what the history of Parga, as connected with this country, as, but his Lordship spoke in so low a tone as to be at times totally inaudible in the gallery. As far as we could catch the Noble Lord's observations, he pre ceded, after pointing out the situation of Varga, under the Treaties of l&Ot) and ISIS, to show what the ac tual situation of the Parguinotes was at the present moment. After various valuations had be en made of the property of the persons about to be driven from their houses, it was found, that reduced as that valua tion had been, those persons possessing property over the amount of 71101. were obliged to receive their 6 um presation in Turkish alloy. The Noble Lord pro ceeded to state what the actual situation and power of General Maitland were. The Parguitmes had, Mr.liectotrax said, when the whole of the case was laid hefore the House, it would be seen whether the conduct of (treat Britain was such as was described by the Noble Lord, or whether her conduct did not afford another instance of the great advantage which ?sates derived from the protection of England. The Noble Lord, he said, thought it necessary to state the subject to the house In a way to create an opinion adverse to the Govetninent. He detailed grievances not merely relatiug to Parga,_ but to the whole of the Islauds, whilst under the protection of Great Rrit::in. There were representations made is hich were not well found ed; there was a great perversion of the filets, in order itpossible, to bolster up a case. The Noble Lord Rate a history of the republic of Parga, but he (Mr. O.) had no hesitation in say* that it was impossible forlirept Britain, under the principles elich she took possession of Pacga,to do any thing el.e but to restore that place to the power which had the legal right to rite possession. The Noble Lord hail stated that Parga was an independent State, had been in a state Of Inde pendence at Posse_ period or other. In 1795, a war broke out between France and the torte, and the fleets of France and Russia took possession of the lonian islands. In I Mtn, a treaty was executed hem...es: Russia and the Porte—it was a treaty of temporary distribution, awaiting a final secession, on the part of its anthorised powers. By the treaty of 1411 be tween France and Turkey, France transferred the p s oessien she atop: red by war in the State of Parga to paildernter power. In I soM, Prance took possession of Pbega, and continued to hold it for militiry purposes till 1614, when it was taken possession of by offirers en the part of Oreat Britain, with the approbation, I,e admitted, of some of the inhabitants ; but from the whole history of oar connection with that country, there was nothing to justify Great Britain in clainiing the right of sovereignty over it. It was said that in the Treaty of t'ongress, which carried into effect the whole territorial arrangements, no mention was made of Pero; hat be thought that tientleinen would agree with him, that in a treaty which relatill merely to the convents of the powers of Europe, "turkey could nut have formed a part in any negorlatien ; and was it be canse Great Britain laid hands on an isolated spot, he hoisting to a power which took no part in that negotia tion, that she was therefore not bound to r : store posers sion of it? On the contrary, we entered Parga nosier circutostasees which must prevent us front assuming a sovereign power over it. It was said that an engage ment Lad been entered into with the inhabitants of Parga tin the part of lira at Britain. After making . eery possible at arch, he could find no document con taining any eng.i!ement of the kind ; he addressed a letter on this subject to Sir James Campbell, request lag to know (rout him whether any oilieer in the name of Herat Britain entered into any engagement with the lehabitants ut Parga, conveying to theta any assur ances under the protection of Great Britain. Sir James Campbell in answer, said that he was tomtits •ed that no such engagement had been ever entered into---tbat no officer was ever authorised by him, either verbally or otherwise, on the part of Great Briteiu, to give any such assurances to the people of Parga. Meat Bri t tin It, ver entered into any such engagement; a! e acted merely as the strict line of they pointed out : the could not exempt herself (rout fulfilling a treaty, entered into with Turkey—she could not violate that treaty. The only question then was, whether the mode of restoration adopted was the beet mode ? In order to come to a fair opini .n on that subject, it would he necessary in the first place to consider whe ,ther there Was any other mode left for the tins ernment to take. Much had been said as to the sufferings the inhabitants ware exposed to : but from l'sfßl to I SOO, daring which time Parga was under the shay of Tur key. they had not heard of there sillier:ow, or of th ese violations. What were the circumstances of the ease ? Parga it!, unable, in point of situation, in force, she had neither the power nor the means of subsistence to enable her to hold oat for a single. week against an enemy. Parga was placed so near 'turkey as to leave it open to frequent attacks. (treat Britain could not interfere on the part of Parga without being pre pared at all times, and at every hazard, to defend it front the attacks of Turkey. Kith respect to the pro perty of the inhabitants, he could assure the Noble Lord, that notwithstanding the etaten en ts which found their way into print, if he would take tl.e trouble to read the documents on the subject, he could have little doubt but that the inhabitants received the full value of all the property they possessed in the place. He was aware that extravagant demands hail been made. Ina memo rial to I iovern ment, the property was st.,ted at 600,000/., whilst the whole number of the inhabitants was 2,700, he people of Parga, in fact, had, with respect to the claim for property, left behind an advantage which the inhabitants of none of the islands possessed. The 6overetnent guarded them against all inconvenience on this bead, and, indeed, of waiting to get purchasers, Mr. Hume etid Parga had not !wen independent, but hail liven dependent on Venice, and was expressly conveyed to France (as he believed) by the Treaty .f Tilsit, when the other places on the coast which had lelonged to Venice were allowed to'remain in the hands of the Turks. When it cave into our /lauds in I al:e tee were plerlud to protect it. It ,was hinted that General Campbell had s excited exaggeratedhopee iu the minds of the inhabitant'. lie could srak from a knue ;Mt/. of that officer when he commanded in Ce phalonia, that there was nut a more honour/11,1e .1r well-ileeerving -.errant of the Cr,.sen, and he would rest the defence of that alter on the qnestion, whether one out of led of the inhabitant+ would refuse to tear tee timuny In his favour. 'I he Centmicsioners who valued the proieetv of the Parguinotes, proceeded iu an ab etted manner, viz. on the ground of value of the pro perty at Corfu. This plan was about as reasonahle,aa if any one should undertake to value property in Er.&- lanai by its price in France. The only fair nay was , that which the officers adopted, vie. by ascertaining the rental and fixing the number of years' purchase. After the valuation, too, 150,000 f. was arbitrarily fixed as the sum, to be paid, without reference to the estimate. In the payment of this sum there wa+ ninth vexation. A desinetien of .04.001 q. WAS rnad^ fur the I rate of i iange, and then the payment was made 11, I had coin. Sir T. Maitlaud finally offered to repay tl,:: I sum of 15,0001. if the Parquinotes would accept in lien of all demands a proposition which he believed Ilicy reasonably refused to agree to. It had been said in the House sense time ago, that the Parguinotes were to !tam e a spletkiid domain on an bland which h. knew t, be a heap of ston:s. Ile believed the saute to be the case of the settlement now promised them in Corfu.' 'the (iovernment had not the means, if they Lad the disposition, to pro% ide them with any ground. 31 1 0;trIARl'HN denied that the Parguiuutcs were not paid the whole suns promised them. 3lr. Ware said, he rested uu the Proclamation :: the tiovernur of the 19th of J une, stating that 113,t Vt. only should be paid. 31r. trot:Let:an said that circumstance admitted t I an extlanation. Lord J. RI ssatt, in reply, said, that as the inhabit ants of Parga had surrendered themselves on the Un flerstinding that they should follow the fate of the lonian Isles, he still thought that faith had not been kept with them. If the great powers of the t inwrt•-i at Vienna had acted as they professed, un the prim .- ple of. restitution, he should have been satisfied. Ve nice would then have Len restored, and Parga would have been put under the 1 rotectiou of Venice. Let they had destroyed Venice, they had destroyed Parrs ; they had divided Saxony and destroyed Genoa. So much was their profession of a return to the aneieet state of things attended to. - The motion was ape.. si to. Mr. Maxwzu. presented a Petition front the Society for the Encouratenient of Industry, praying the House to take some Imams to prevent the degradation of the
