eft With regard to the proportion which, by the Union," she was to boar of the general expences of the Em pire," he would say that there never was a mode so fallacioae di that which , was adopted in extenuating that proportion.: It woald be for the permanent goad of Ireland that the article of timber should be as low, and as easy of purchase as possible. There wit i great disposition in the landed proprietors of that country to remedy the present condition of 'tits peasantry ; but if timber was kept up at so hi price, it wohld greatly impede their efforts in aarm• plishing that desirable object. Mr. FITZGERALD and Sir J. NEWPORT ex plained. • 41r. PEELE expressed his satisfaction at what hot fallen from a Right Hon. Gent. (Sir J. Newport), that the peasantry of Ireland , would prefer their pro, sent mode of subsistence, ewes if they were enabled to obtain wheaten bread. He was glad he had lent his'authority to counteract a great delusion which prevailed isr.this country *pen that Subject, and be way equally glad that another Right Hon. Gent. , (Mr. Pousonby),• had testified the fact, that theC landed proprietors in Ireland were anxious to amok.: orate the condition of their tenantry. On both these te•)ics he knew that much misapprehension existed here. He firmly. believed that there were parts of England in which the lower orders of peasantri were worse provided for lu every respect than itf My part of Ireland. • Mr. PONSONiIIf and Mr. PEELE mutually ex plained. • Mr. COURTENAY spoke. against the measite. There was in Ireland, as. every body knew, an ad mirable spirit of improvement, which ought to be eneuertged ; but he thought the direct effect of the pvesent Bill would be to check it. He should prefer, . if Po other remedy were attainable,• that the propor tion which Ireland paid towards the general revenue of the empire, should be attired, rather than consent to the adoption of this measure. Mr. ROSE supported the Bitly.and denied that any hardships were inflicted upon Ireland, far at the time when. the high duties were imposed on timber from the North of Europe, that from oar own Colo• pies came in free. • The question was then put and carried. •PRESERVATION OP THE PEACE IN IRELAND. Mr. PEELE moved the Order of the Day for the BONO to resolve itself into-a Committee on the Bill to amend the Act for the Preservation of the Peace iti Itelaed: Sir J. NEWPORT said he had no objection what. ever to the principle of the measure ; but he wished that, in conformity to the ancient law of England in this respect, the vicinage on which the provisions of the Bill were to operate, should be more distinctly marked. In many cases the disturbance might exist in a single parish dr townland;* but by the use of the vague word " barony," it would frequently happen that a large district in which no fault had been com • mitred would nevertheless be visited with punishment. The House thee resolved itself into the Committee. Mr. PEELE expressed his concurrence in the propriety of the observations of the Hon. Baronet.— This fact was, that the Bill was introduced for the, stiffest; purpose of lessening the burdens of the ori ginal measure. An inconvenience might arise, how- ever, from confining the operation of it to a too limited district. indeed it could hardly occur that a disturbance should take place in a single parish or townland ; and if it did, the expense that would fall on that spot would be too enormous. Perhaps it might be well to give the Lord Lieutenant power to declare " a part," or 66 parts," in a state of dis tarbance, leaving the extent to his discretion.— [Hear, hear ! from Sir "Netoport.]=—He would not actually pledge hitnilirto the support of such a propositieu ; but he should like to hear what could be said in support of it, and it might be embodied in a clause, and attuned to the Bill at a subsequeut period. Sir J. NEWPORT said that the mode hinted at by the Right Hon. Gentleman met his ideas per fectly. fits object was to narrow the visitation of the measure in any way that should make it cont. mensurete with the district in which the • fault had been committed. The Bill then went through !the Committee, and the Report of the 13111 was ordered to be received on Friday. Mr. BROGDENArought up the Reports of the Committees on the Promissory Notes Bill, the Neu tral shipping Bill, the Wool Bill, the Foreign Ship ping Bill, and the East India Goods Bill, which were agreed to; and the Bills were ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. Tho Irish Glass Excise Duty Repeal Bill was read a third time and passed.—Adjourned. The presumed illegality of continuing the Malt Regiments embodied, rests, we understand, on' the 111th Clause of the 42d Geo. 111. c. 90. which alone specifies the distinct purposes for which the Militia may be moved out of their own counties—viz. " For the repelling and prevention of any invasion, and for the suppression of 'any rebellion or insurrec tion." The legality of the measure, on the grounds stated by Ministers, being a separate question. There was a mistaktin the statement that the Duke and Duches of .Bcoroati, their family, and suite, ; had sailed or England. It was the Duke's three sons, by the present Duchess, who sailed for Ent.: land, and arrived in London en Monday. Their Graces sailed in a man of war up the Mediterranean I for Naples, with their niece, Lady MONTAGUS I who, we are concerned to say, has very little im- 1 proved in health by the climate of 1 1-vottgal. Their, Graces are not expected in Kaiikt till the ensul * summer.

B.—We are assured that Lord Castlereagh and Cdunt Munster have no agreed up on many points, and several demands vrl*h had been made for aggrandizing the kingdom Or thoever . have been formally refused ; among Others ihePachy of Oldenburg is mentioned. The Duke orOlden• burg is not willing to renounce his sovereignty : he wishes to govern and restore happiness to the coons try which has been transmitted to hint by hie fore fathers. They have premised him vataisOilindemni ties upon the left bank of tbe Rhine, but be will not submit to any other arrangement; and in conse quence he will keep his actual possession's. He has been powerfully seconded by the Emperor of Russia. In general, the Princes of the second and third order in Germany complain of not having been in cluded in the political arrangements. They have al. ready presented, and will again present fresh me morials to the five Grand Powers of Germany, that they may take into consideration their interests. — These me:ROl:lab are well drawn np ; but they re; main without any reply. Nov. 10.—The stay of the Sotereigns will yet be prolonged for a considerable time; and some of them, it is said, propose to make a journey into Styria and to Venice. The Grand-duke Constantine set out yes terday for Warsaw. We know that the squadrons of the Polish army are cantoned in the environs of that city. We expect a second Declaration towards the middle of this month, respecting the ulterior reports of the Congress. All the Princes of the States of Italy are in a state of anguish : they have sent here Memorials upon Memorials In defence of their interests; they wish to know their fate; but they reply to them that they will take their demands iota considixation, which they put off always to the end of die Cangress.— This suspense, it must not be dissembled . , - Ire met annoyance to commerce and other affairs. For ex= ample, it has lately been said, that the State of die Church is to be reduced to a very small territory, comprehending only Rome and its environs; anat that all the ecclesiastical provinces will be mow larised, and given iu indemnities. This news, which, however, has need of confirmation, made every one fear that they were to be delivered up to some en croachment. It is confirmed that they will re-establish the Im perial dignity. Austria has declared that she will not reign under Kings. They remember that the Electors have caused enough of pain and embarrass ment ; but, for the good of Germany, they constmt to accept an hereditary Crown. They are to propose a Prince who will not make over the empire; but whose successor will depend on certain suffrages, or of as order which they will establish. The thing yew appears arranged, and the King of Prussia will be destined to enjoy the title of Vice-Emperor. THE FRONTIERS OF AUSTRIA, Nov. 11.—For these some days the proceedings of the Coitgress, it is said, have taken a different turn. Count Noailles, Minister of France, has seat to the Con .gress a declaration concerning Saxony ; and thus pre tend, that by the interposition of Austria, the fate of that kingdom will yet undergo some modifications.- 1 The German Princes are to• be, as much as possi ble, indemnified in a manner proportioned to the efforts which they individually made to bring,abeut the happy resulu - which we have commenced to en joy. But they have not yet decided whetb* the affairs of the State will remain as they are at present. It is thought that the new projects, when finished, will put , all opinions in concord ; •but, before they . 1 1 Arrive at that, it. will occupy the ow* of two or three months. • 10 According to the Correspondent of Nurensburg, itis in contemplation to give a Sovereign to Switzef hind, according to the example of Rollea. They say at the same time, that there is formed a party in the interior of Switzerland who desires it, and that they labour with activity. This conjecieve.is not un likely, if we consider how they art divided in that country. Vxproatz, Nov. B—Letters from Madrid an nounce that new arrests have taken place in thzt capital. It is painful to see the names of distinguish ed General Officers comprised in the Ilst of those who are the objects of these measures of diner.'

A Dutch Mail arrived this morning." ,The follow ing are the most important articles which it brings: VIENNA, Nov. 7.—There is much talk in this capital Glide negociatious on foot, the object of which is to determine who will debnitively have the kingdom of Naples. The ancient House of the Two Sicilies and the Court of France are decided antagonists of the new King of Naples, and exert themselves to replace the Crown on the head of Fer dinand IV. England, on the other hand, seems to desire that Joachim shall remain, and Austria ap.‘i pears to take the part .0( Mediator. Our Court? which is resolved to wait for the issue of the delibe:' rations of the Congress en tbfehead, has happily found IC the Congress itself a sumo° defer till after the de picture of the Allied Sovereigns going into mourning ' for the Queen of Sicilymaince mourning would be in compatible with the fetes to be given to its iljostrious guests. This delay puts the Conrt 'Of Vienna the , More at its ease, - as it can PabliClY 'announce, whether it gods into mourning for the Queen eV Sicily, as the Court of London has done, or for the Queen of Naples and Sicily, like: I the . Court of France.. it, however, cannot be concealed, that our Court is in' an embavasiing situation, in regard to king losiCidits on the one hand it is ,too" nearly .10• lied by bloOd to the ancient House "of 11,aple! oad Sicily, not to listen to its just demands; 'and oelbal ,*other it has contracted engagements, and Concluded é Convention with King Joachim; made War in Italy ins concert with him against Bonaparte, and is coati fluently engaged towardi him. Besides, it could not bit be impolitic and -very dangerous to renew the limn. in Italy, and.yet this is what must be expected if an attempt should be made to force Joachim to quit a Throne of which he has been recognised the lawful possessor by sdlimn i . tOaties, for it is very certain that arms alone would be able to do this. Nov. B.—The change pperated ip Saxony,. and the determinations relative. to the left bank of the Rhine, occasion much bustle in the French Legation. Letters from Italy announce that General Chartelee has entered Roamagni, Probably because King Joachim, as is affirmed, i, also advancing. FacittroaT, Nov.*l4.—The Gazette of Aix-la- Clscrlle says, we know for certain, that for the present, at least, Belgium willoat be united to the provinces of Lower and Middle Rhine, or thou % provinces to Belgium. • AUGSBURGH ) Nov.. 10'.—Letters from Vienna state, that the mystery which has hitherto enveloped . the negociations begint , to disappear; the Allied Powers, say these letters,. are 'strangely embarrassed lly the treaties cencluded .

The Coda of Vienna it said to be very desirous of obtaining the ceiti . Of the county of Glatz, to unite it to Bohm*, bid, - rnania does not seem much inclined loth, cession. VIENNA ' Nov. B.—Switzerland is to haves Con ititution nearly resembling that of England. The illpremacy of the great cities which still exist in some cantons, will be wholly abolished ; the inhabitants are to be divided into several classes, as farmers, citizens, &cc. and the latter will be subdivided intd classes of mechanics, artisans, men of letters, &c:.
