Sir R. WILSON asked if that was not independent of the military pay of the Governor ? Mr. 004LBURN.-10,00 01 . covers the whole Ai lary and pay of every kind.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. EVANS supported the amendment. Sir H. VIVIAN explained. General HART . said, that no diminution of the forces could he made in Ireland, so long as the present code of horrid Excise Laws existed in that country. — (Hear, bear.) Sir F. BLAKE made a few remarks in favor of the amendment. Sir R. WILSON explained. Mr. WILLIAMS rose amidst loud cries of question, and expressed his determination to vote for the amend o tut. Lord CASTLEREAGH merely wished to call the attention of Members to the exact number of troops which would be left by the Amendment. if carried. for the service of the country. The amount provided by the original Resolution was 70,350 rank an.l Then Roe Amendment proposed a reduction of 10,000, leaving $0,3:50. In examining the returns it would be found that the different regiments short of their complement would (nave a further deficit of 5000, thus bringing the amount of disposable troops to 35,300. Theo they must deduct the service of the old and nex upluoies, which be would state at 25,500, which taken from the former number, left 29,550. Then, further, deducting the. Guards and Cavalry 14,000, there would remain 15,850 troops for the service of Great Britain and Ireland, and for the relief of the army abroad, amounting to 50,0011 men. lie would pat it to the Houre whether it was possible that such a force was equal to the ditties thus required. Mr. CALCRAFT said, that the Noble Lord had so palpably tuisstated the case, that he was really sur prised how lie (Lord Castlereagh) could stake his character upon such a misstatement. The proposition before the Home was for a force of 81,000 men, and the object of Iris Hun. Friend was to reduce that num b..r by 10,1100, thus leaving 71,11011. Lied CASTLEREAGH said, that the Honourable Member had quite mistaken the giouild upon which Le rose to make his triumphant reply. The only dnf f-rence between them was a fraction. For when he (Lord C.) stated the nunslsers of the original proposi- Hon to be 71,000, he distinctly said rank and tile, and Inc was perfectly aware that with the of f icers it would ainatint to Is 1,000, General Oascorsts and Mr. C ►l.citAFT mutually el- Flaine.l. Lord PALNIEItSTON, in allusion to the men ne eessary for reliefs, stated, that at this 11111 l nent there were on their passage home and going out 4190 troops actually afloat, while he had only computed the yearly average at 3000. Mr. MACDONALD replied ; be contended that the Household Troops and Cavalry. as well as the Madura avid Veteran battalions, ought t.. d Vie same sauce ser vice, and thus 46,000 troops would be available to the taitietry for that purpose. lie felt that so strong a c i se Isa.i been made for a reduction of 10,000 met, that hr should not do hi., ditty if he did not take the sere of the Committee upon the question.

Althongh the pnblic have been accustomed to consider' Mr. ilaydon as an artist of great talent, we think the p4inting of " Christ's .4gony" will add considerably to the reputation he hail acquired previously to its exhibi tion. The artist has chosen the moment in which Christ lias advanced some paces before his Disciples, and is kneeling in the Darden in earnest supplication to be dr— limed from the suffering he anticipates; but is at the I same time expressing his desire that the will of (hod ra ther than his own shall he 'lone. The countenance of Christ conveys a striking idea of the fervour of his prayer minKkd with that meekness and resignation whirls are expressed in scripture by his words. The itn pa ‘sioned manner of clenching the hands is well depict ed; and greatly assists the general expression of the fiXerv. It is extremely difficult to represent features under the influence at once of agony, and of resigna- Con; as the latter will, in some measure, deprive the forgoer of its acuteness ; but 310 Haydon has succeeded !° ceiling the two passions as closely as their contrary stretiont ertli allinit. Ilse principal care of the of tist had been bestowed on lit here of Christ. who is represented kneeling in the finegroend of the Picture, while on one side in the back poised is see. Judas Iscariot conducting the Centurion and his band to the spot where Jesus is in prayer; and, in another part of the back-"rontui, are represented the Disciples sleeping. None of these flows are particu larly remarkable, except thut of Judas, who appears to recognise Christ at a distance, and is stooping forward, and with one hand motioning the Centurion to stay while he ativancei. Ills face appears a true index of his mind ; fur it indicates cunning, treachery, and fiendish malignity. The talent generally displayed in this Painting in duces us to hope that it may not be the last production, (by many.) of Mr. Haytlou's productions. The new Comet is now visible to the salted eye in the west. till eight o'citek in tie 'Teeing. It is a lit tle to the westward of Algenib, and nearly the height of Astern. at a distance to the right of him.

Paris papers, March 12. The accounts contained in the Paris papers received this morning, on the Neapolitan affairs, are scanty, and of no great importance. The correspondence from Vienne to the 28th ult. informs us that intelli gence had been received in that city of the occupation of Anemia by the Austrians, under the command of Major-Genteiral de Leppert. The flotilla equipped at Venice had arrived some days previously, at Ancona, ' under the camtliand of Major-General Paulucci. This flotilla is destined to protect the enterprises oftbe corps of tbs Austrian army Maiching along the coasts of the Adri atic. The citadel of Ancona is still occupied by the troops of the Pope. The Prince de San Cuntaldo has arrived at Livournl - t, and is disposed to tender his services to the King of Naples and the Allied Power , . The intelligence that the city of Onyaquil had de clared itself independent reached Cadiz .in the 21st ult. The news alleged to have heen received from Madrid, and hearing the date of the 4th inst. it with out founiation. No accounts hive arrived giving the least authority to the report that Ferdinand's Ministers had been induced to return to their several offices. The latest despatches are dated the 3d inst. The ordinary courier brings journals of the Ist inst. only. Lisnos, Fen. 24.—A decree of the Curses has sup pressed the Provisional Junta which was established at Purto. On the 22d inst. was published, a decree of enmity in favour of all the Portulttese, who, since the year 1807, have been sentenced to punishment or exile for political offences. In the 'init.: . oldie 22d ult., M. Caneiro, in the name of the Finance Committee, presented a project of law respecting the Crown pro perty, which, becoming the Nat . I property, might be applied to the liqnidation of the public debt. Ihe King's palaces are nut comprehended in this law. Fitemen Fctros.—Five per cents. 83 1. 60c.; Bank Actions 1525 f. Norfolk papers arrived this morning to the 15tb February, from which we give the following *street of a letter, dated Havannah, Jan. 19 : General Moatt.i.n bas bees sometime two, penays, less, powerless, and friendless. His armistice with BOUT AB, of which you must have heard, excited so much indignation among the Spaniards, that his life was in danger, and he yesterday Bed in disguise from the city in the British brig Blucher, baund for London. The long statement of the revolt of the Spanish troops in this city, in the American papers, is ridiculous. A volunteer corps of citisens, to the number of eight or nine thousand men has been well organized, and the garrison is in perfect subordination, and the city se cure and quiet. In the absence of more certain details from the seat of the patriotic war, we are glad to learn, from Aletter written by an English traveller, at Florence, dated the latter end of February, that the most cheering hopes are held out as to the result of the present con test. lie describes the feelings of the Austrian sol diers anal their officers, as being dejected in the high est degree, without entertaining a hope of success. The indignation of all classes of the people throughout Italy is. on the other banal, at its height, and so int pressed is the GRAND Draa with the necessity of con forming to the well known wishes of leis subjects, that, were it not from the fear of offending his Imperial brother of Austria, a Representative Government would have ere this been established in Tuscany. The preparations made on the Neapolitan frontier, are of the most formidable description, and so confi dent were the soldiers of freedom, of a triumphant ter mination to the war, that they anxiously wished fur the invading hordes to cross the Pontine Marshes, in order that the first blow should be struck. We are delighted at the greatness of wind and un shaken resolution manifested by a nation, which bad Government has done so much to enervate and de stroy ; nor is it amongst the least of those standing miracles of the days we live in, that a people upon whom we have been taught to look with compa rative contempt, should have been destined, as we trust they are, to recover the liberties of mankind, while their more enlightened contemporaries are quietly wearing their chains! We some days ago took a pleasure in announcing to our readers, that Sir Ronaerr WiLsom gave notice of his intention to make a motion relative to the letter of Sir Ws. A'Counx, on the 10th. It is with regret that we nnw state, the Gallant General has deferred his intenelesi motion until the 20th, although we can not doubt but that Sir Roars? had good reasons for this delay. We need scarcely remind him. that notwithstanding pre sent appearances, some serious di sa ster may betel the cause of Europe before the day he has fixed epos. It would, indeed, be dillleelt, if sot impossible, to a subject, that would less bear proasstiestieti, A like this, involves the fate of count . left Whataxer may be the resell of the war, the heroic people of Naples ha►e , Par prayers, sad are entitled to our gratitnde; are are errs ready to cooperato with our conntryliien in htnishing a still then substantial proof of zeal in this most sacred cause. Among the leading ohjects which I*lt night occupied the attention of the House of Commons, was a motion respecting the Austrian loans. In the years 1795 and 1797, the Court of Vienna, for the purpose of carrying on the war in which they were then engaged, raised certain loans in this country of which this (lovernment became the guarantee,and is consecrenie of which the Austrian Government en tered into a convention for the regular payment of the dividends which might become due. These loan• together nith the dividends due upon them now ex ceed the enormous sum of seventeen millions, of which, it appears not a single peony has been paid by that illustrious llonSe, the House of Austria. If ever there was occasion for this country to demand the reimbursement of thit sums ad vanced, it must be at present. When a creditor is him self embarrassed, his importunity becomes a duty, and espeoially when he finds his unprincipled debtor ap plying his property to purposes the most immoral and renieions. The 31inister could say but little in apology for his Austrian friend.; and the motion for copies Of the correspondence between the Court of London and that of Vienna, on the subject was allowed to be carried. The opposition to the Army Estimates, (thanks to 1k its,) acquires strength as it is tried. Two divisions took place. On the tirtt, on Colonel M ACDONALD ' S am endment for the further reduction of 10,000 men, Ithe majrisity again.t rettemAimeht was 96. On the Isecond, Mr. haw SON'S, for a reduction of 5000, the majority was only 65. On 31bnday, the majority on `one of the divisions, was no less than ISS. The King of Sweden has transmitted to the Nor wegian Diet an expose of the situation of the King dom Mace ISIS. It announces, than on the Ist u 1 September, 11519, a convention had been concluded with Denmark, which bars the quota which Norway is to bear in the Danish Norwegian Debt; and that a treaty of commerce and amity had also been formed with the United States of America. Mr. Samuel Rothschild, a brother of the Bankers of the same name here and in London, is appointed Com , inlasary Paymaster-lieneral of the AustriAn army in Italy. The celebrated Spanish General, Murillo, the late adversary of General Bolivar, arrived in town on Sun day laston his way to Spain. The King is expected to go to the Opera on Tues ' day next, and to the Ancient Conceit on Wednesday. Mr. Freeling, Secretary to the Post-ollice, has in answer to an ingniry informed the Chamber of Cout o...um oglianrlsester, that nu impediments are likely to present themselves to the conveyance of the amen pondence with Naples and Sicily, in the usual and ordinary course. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East- India House, when Capt. J. Blanchard was sworn into the command of the ship Marquis of Wellington, con signed to Madras and Bengal. A paragraph appeared in the Morning Chromiele, on Monday last, stating that " copies of a letter from a gallant Marquis, who distinguished himself at the battle of Waterloo, addressed to the highest personage in time kingdom, on the subject of the Queen, are handed about in fashionable circles, and, it is said, has excited considerable surprise in the quarter to which it is addressed." The whole of this was con tradicted unequivocally by a Ministerial paper. The Chroaiefe, however, returns this morning to the charge; and though it admits that the letter of the gallant Marquis did not mention the Queen by name, it affirms that the Letter i• contains advice anal senti ments addressee! to his Majesty, which never would have been so a ddressed. had not the manner in which the Queens cause has been treated by Ministers, occa sioned universal reprobation and unpopularity through ' lot the country." Sloostouvu, Maacn 9.—lt is reported that the Bishop of Llandatf has taken eoldbrouk House, near Abergavenny. This, we believe, is the Right Rev. Divine whose enmity towards our persecuted Queen sandered him extremely unpopular in the neighbour hood of his residence, near Oxford. We have also beard that his Lordship had previously rendered him self so obnoxious to some portion of his parishioners, as to occasion the salutary interference of the Society is London instituted fur protecting the rights of Dissenters. We know not exactly what reliance may be placed thereon, but it has been reported tons, frum a respect able quarter, that on appeal made to him at C-- F-- lately, by an Illustrious Personage, the reply of s certain Noble Duke, whose support has been in variably given to the system which has brought the country into its present alarming situation, forcibly issdicated a strong belief of the prevalent and increas ing distress in the country, accompanied with a manly and dignified expression of a sense of duty impelling him to this frank avowal of sentiment. A Requisition, signed by many of the independent gentlemen of the county, addressed to the High She riff of Cumberland, will be presented in a few days, Galling upon him to convene a Meeting of the Free holders, " to consider of a petition to be presented to Parliament, prayingfor a diminution of the public bur dens, for mach economy in the expenditure as may ren der a reduction of wisdom practical and safe, and more especially fur some reform in the system of re presentation.** The gascutors of the late Mr. Dalrymple have thought It necessary to correct a statement of the eas lee of his property which had appeared in the papers.

Ile cad it was highly important, and at the same time conformable with the dignity of dos Crown, to adopt the constitationalsystem, not only for Portugal hut also for Bratil, where the spirit for liberty was making a rapid progress. The Ministers, Villa Nora and Targiaa. replied to ' the Count, and entlesty•oesd se prove that* win eiples which lie had just laid down, were fiery con trary to the true principles of Monarchy.

The troops take a great part in the general joy caused by the events in Portugal. and the Baropeans especially ilistingnish themselves. These last doubt less form the best part of the force of the Ootornmest. They amount to 5000 at least.
