INV osusess.o Mites this scopes gess -formerly before tit ‘. Jlouse, it was toutended that an inquiry 'could net lak e place in that Halve till the question' , 'lieu pending had been disposed of. That argument failed cow, and be thought it was ortly by that House that a satisfactory in quiry could he iustituted. 'the Marquess of LONDONDERRY explained. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL observed, that the candid statements of his Honourable and Learned Friend who had just sat down, had relieved him from the necessity of detaining the House long: as his lion. and Learned Friend must hare convinced even those who surrounded him, that the motion could not be sup ported on the grounds on which it had been brought forward. Hi. Honourable and Learned Friend had wholly. .esculpated the Magistrates and his Majes ty.... Ministers—(No, no 1 .) --and the question was re duced to, whether there ought to be an inquiry at the Rat of that House into the conduct of the Yeomanry? He was fully persuaded that .there ought not, because the subject might be and ought to be investigated by a pruper tribunal; as had been other great constitutional gm Mimi-, such as those of shipinoney and general war rants. Adverting to the question of prejndging the sub ject he referred to the Resolutions passed at the York Comfy :Meeting, and read two of those Resolution.., i‘ Inch appeared to him to assert the legality of the meet ieg at Manchester. Yet that was at a period when those prnreedings were pearling whichoerminated ia a fleets' ation that the Manchester Meeting was illegal. Mr. SCABLETT explained. slr. S. WORTLEY said, he must acquit the sup pato.; of the Resolutions at the York County Meet ing of any diapasition to prejudge the question then ;o -tiding by declaring the legality of the Manchester Meeting. Ile proceeded to argue against the motion, cowending that if there was any ground for COM -I.l4int, it was a proper siihject • for the consideration 4.f a Irgal tritn:al. That no such suit had been in :Astute.' was a ciear grout to him that a case could not lit: made out. Lord MIITON observed, that the explanation of I.k Honourable Colleague, as o the York C o unty Meeting, rendered any observations front him on the sub pet In;a cesssry. Sir F. BURDETT rrplied.—After the ample di , - %ion whiush the subject had unilergune, he %%mild tti fain the Muse but a few moment,. The case re prntiseiy were it was ; for the Noble Marquct.s at.ul tl,e Hon. and Learned (lenticular' opposite, and ell tl, it stoned determined to shut their es es t.. tlue real and great question, and to endeavour to tun. the attention of the House to minute parts of it. They tall,ed of it as a question between certain rrsons whit had been aggrieved, and those by whom they had been aggrieved, instead of a qnestion between the people of }: , eland and hit ;Majesty's Government. That the people assembled at a public meeting were to have the military let loose upon them, and that it %vas to be held that no one was amenable fur that act, st:rely afforded the strongest ground fur Parliamentary inquiry. The llouse ought to he infulmo.l by an in quiry at the Bar, if the troops bad committed military execution without the authority of the Magistrates, and had of their co. it head perpetrated the violcucts n Lich had °centred. 'Flury ought to be infinuted *tether Ministers stood clear on the subject. Seeing the eorresporalenee that existed between the Magis t; ates and his Majesty's Ministers ; seeing that the latter had published the letters of the Magi,- triter, hut had not ventured to lay before the House their answers; seeing the ungracious an ricer to the Sheriffs c,f London put into tic month of his Slajesty, who was made to say, that the citizens of London could not know the previ ous transactions and circumstances at Manchester ; seeing all this, it oas difficult to believe that what bad taken plate was not, in a real measure, the result of euireetions from his Majesty's Ilovcrnment, As to its li:in..; tun late for the it.restigation, that lie denied. — The time that haul elapsed had only served to divest the sobject of all false appearances, and to exhibit it, I. shape and colones. The Noble Lord (Lono 4..rry) haul mode his statements lightly, and without xuy shadow of proof. The attacks of the military upon th• people were distinctly wined ; indeed, so di .tinetlt , that the Learned Judge who presided at the ti ials at York, stated to the Jury that there appeared Et' jnstitication for the e mployment of the military in the execution of the warrant. 1 bough the partiesl tvieil at York were charged with a conspiracy, yet the legality of the question did not appear to be decided luy thst trivl. It was said on that occasion that the I parties had been guilty of stirring up the minds of the h i people to a hatred and contempt of the G o vernment l i of the country. But it was ha rdly possible to touch uvon public to ievances,—to point out even the cor raption ef that House, without involving one's self suithin the scope of such a charge. The whale of the facts stated determined one point, namely, that Mr. Ilunt and the other parties haul not attended the 1.1 eting with the motives imputed to them. An Ho tuo treble Gentleman who had just sat %lon had, as Centlentea ender the influence of passion were generally in the habit of doing, recommended calmness and cool tires tollim.—He knew not how to reply to this advice, as he did rot feel the want of those qualities; perhaps indeed he might, in the heat of argument, have been be trayed into hasty expressions; and there never was a cnestion more calculated to excite, and at the same time to excuse the warmth of a man's feelings than this.— (Ilear, bear )—The Hon. Member for Dover (Mr. B. Wilbraham) had attempted to throw discredit upon the investigation which had taken place, u well as upon that now proposed, by stating that be had had the good fortune of meeting persons who were said to have been killed at Manchester, alive and unhurt; that lie bad Luown that a child reported to have been killed by the yeomarry had died of convulsions ; that a man reported to have been killed by the constables bad been actually cheaked by eating mutton; and that a father, after having in the hospital identified the clothes of his son, whom he understood to have been murdered, bad afterwards wet that 'ton alive and well. The Hon. Member for Newcastle (Mr. Wilmot) had gone further than the Noble Lord (Londonderry) bad the face to do. The Noble Lord had confined the guilt to the Manchester yeomanry ; but the Honourable Member contended that no guilt could be imputed, but that it wu an act of ex teneed justice. Mr. 1111010?ifise to Artier. He House Whether any Hon. Member had a _ _ forced construction upon his words ? What be stated was, that if the military hail hero ratted in by the Ma gistrates. in th e eseicise of their squad discretion, then the Magistrates were not responsible fur the acts subse pientireommitt..4 ii r . that military. ; I .r P. BURDETT expressed himself satisfied with the explanation of the Honourable Member, as it ap peared that he (Mr. Wilmot) was not an advocate ufl that extended justice to which he (Sir F. Burdett) el laded. The N oble Lord (Londonderry) had s tated that which was a perfect truism—that he would rely ' , on the coustruction of the present !loose of Commons. , 1 _(dear, hear.) The Noble find no doubt knew the, value of the House of C•ountone as well as they did his, and he (Sir F. Burnett) would be the last matt in the world to deny that this were worthy of each other. —The Honourable Baronet was proceeding to state that the people having been massacrer'. under the view of the House of Commons without re dress. that body was pernicious to the interests of the country, when hen as hoe! rupted by cries of " Order! Order!' The SPEAKER , a • ;owl as silence email he ob. tallied, raid that lie tea • inofident that the lion. Bart. would be sens . khle of the i i.propriety of the words he had jo..t used in the WarlAil fir his r ,etiteibre. Sir F. Br RDETT pruf..,sed himself ready to sub mit to whatever the Speaker might judge correct in the course el the debate.—(Near, bear.) He was about to add, that the r•,,,l question at issue tear', wile. ther in fntnre the people of England she uld he al• lowed to exercise. their et:doubted and unalienable right of meeting in any manner and in any numbers, for any lawful porpo.,e; or ..vhetli:r the inte.tiae oar, which the Noble Stu-re:ars: at War iviri said had been carrier: on again,t them for tl.e last five ea', was still to he continued. l!f• was convinced that the people were in no way hostile to their im.titlitinte.; but they thought themselves entitled to the coi.stinit:uti, an.l to all those rights which the constitution gave them ; above all, to the great right o• f free elri ti..n of their 'representatives fog the protectiun of their iiitei....ts and property. This nas the whole object of the meeting at Manchester; yet it was tbere that more Ilia , : 600 men, women, and children, bad I e-n killed, wounded, or maimed; and yet it was into thi s horrible etiallnaCti.:ll that Ministers refuse-I in quiry. As to the proceedings of the gra nd Jars at Lancaster, lie intended to cast no imputations: but he must say that it war. ut'erly incomprehensible to bitu upon what grounds the Bills were rejected by them, recollecting that all the CAI.. we . e be:..toid the possibility of dispute. Then they time before the Coroner. where last, not leal.t, it seemed, according to ' the assertion of the Noble Lard opposite, that some tricks were played. What were those tricks? The number of witnmes oho pres.-;-11fermattl to Kira evil deuce—of d in t the Uoronsr should have joulgol. It way, however, known that the inquiry before the Co roner bad gone !n far, that the Jury bad 111311 e up their minds upon the verdict which they meant to oi ve ; hot th eir intentious wore defeated by the con duct of the Coroner -aidlsitivel a f.—(ilthisear.)e that the people had not trade every accessible application', in the tt,ttal course of justice ? in each attempt the' people had failed•—their successive applications bad beca refused. Ins reason, therefore, for prr.sing this question ..vas, that the public mind was not satisfied, our wotilti it be satisfied until an inquiry had taken place into these transactiotts. While be bad a seat in the House lie w orld press for this inquiry. If the King's Mitlistti woald now say that they would take up the inquir, anti report to the House upon it, then be would rest sati•lied ; but if that were not done. I then he had only to add that the people would never rest satisfied until some satisfaction were ball furor inquiry made into, OKA: calamitous trausactions.— (Hear.)

By a letter from Rio Jiro, dated the ?.fitli Match, w e have received the important intelligetne, that contrary to the expectations entertained there a few days before, the King had come to a determina tion to return to Poringal. On the 15th or 'Huth a decree was issued, dated the 7th of 111 arch, announcing that decision. The impressiou made there by the publication of the decree is represented to be variws in different persons, according to their respective in terests; bof in general, it appears to he of a very glo-ony kind. Many of the English, and other fo reigners, r epress their design of (pitting the coun try, :is, though the Prince Royal is to remain there, the departure of the rest of the Court for Lisbon ran tiot fail to he detrimental to trade, and productive of con siderahle changes.

Ott the :10:11 the Batik was experted to suspend its pay ments, but the King is said to have volunteered his private trtCtsures as a loan to meet the defalcations in that de partment.

The King in the decree referred to, after adverting to the :Atleusii oath take: in concert with all the Royal Pa wily tv maintain the constitution, assigas it as a reaSoll for his return to Europe, " that the Sovereign shall fix his residence in t:e place where the fortes meer, in order that the laws which shall be discussed may be promptly presented to hint, and receive without'; delay his indispetisable .;:tnetiott ;' adding, that in order that the people of Brazil may the sooner partici pate in the advanta::es of the national representation, by sending an a.!eqna:e number of deputies to the goe neral Corks of the f oiled Kiti o gdns, he has in anodise decree of the ,late, given directions for the its mediate election er the said deputies, according to the form of the instroetions a !opted for that pur pose in the kin;:ilom of Portugal. The decree concludes iu the follow ing terms :—" The Deputies for this ',levities will without delay repair, suc cessively as they are elected, to this city, in order that these who ehall arrive before my departure may accompany me.

T The debate upon Sir Fa &Nets Br enures motion in the House of Commons, was resumed last night, and roe. tinned nail half-past two o'clock this witting. This motion, as oar readers will remember was, that ti,. House should resolve itself into a Committee to ea le i re into the transactions at Manchester, in the year 11119. and, as tbory would generally anticipate, was Dep. tined. On the division the numbers were, For ter motion, Il l ; and Against it, 235. From the lift: • countenance which the House has shown of lat. t. any measure opposite to the Ministerial system, t h e „ numbers will nut appear surprising ; and taking al; r;,• circumstances of the case into consideration, it s o , : have been very extraordinary if the friends of the nistershad been backward in their resistance oftl ier , posed inquiry. To have acceded to the motion Insuld have been to call in question not merely the eorolr et the Manchester Yeomanry and the Manchester 'Mitzi,- trates, but the thanks which were so prunspdy c i vet to those vigorous conservators of the peace, the reps sisaml so pointedly conveyed in the answer tq the City Address, the judgment passed on Mr. llnnt, and the whole spirit which has pervaded the NiwisterLd systein of domestic policy. The character of Minim lets end Magistrates has been secured by the vote of a lar r ;e majority this morning; but has the national character been at the same time rerlecuseii? Is the vote of the majority an emanation of the voice of old English justice, humanity and gallantry i H ow k happens that transactions which are *kismet a parallel in the history of civilized times, s h ou ld its England, which stood preeminent for genemes fr e t. ing, for constitutional freedom, and for the seamiest in oignation at cruelty and oppression, be allowed to p at , without investigation by that House which is therraliar 4 ruardian of national justice and the Commons' rights, is much more a matter of regret than wonder. The evasion of the proposed enquiry is consistent with the line of policy of late pursued; hut the policy is crooked and deeply to be deplored. It must soon either sadly change the whole netiona! character, or itself undergo a thorough change. The prorogation of Parliament, it is rr, tatcs place in the last wed; of June.
