" That with a view to tke attainment of this important object. it is expedient now to increase the income of the country by the improduon of so the amount of 3,000,000 L per annum." The resolutions having been laid on the table, Mr. GRENFELL said, he understood that tomorrow had Leen fixed oo by the light lion. Gent. for meeting the a.ntractors for the loon. These resolutions were to be discussed on Monday next, and he took it for granted that the 'light lion.

Gent., and the contractors for the loan. that might fetter the house in disemeing the subject; and he trusted partiettiarly that the Hight lion. Gent, would not bind himself as to the application of the sinking fund. The Citatict:t.Lott of the Exeu Elan eit replied, thr it was lin intention Oa loun-contractors should have full knowledge that whatever was done would be subject to the controul of parliament. CA111.1511.6 WEAVERS.-41r. CUSWEN wished to learn from the Noble Lord (Castlereagh) whether any step had been taken towards relieving the extensive distress that was now experienced at Carlisle. LORD CASTLEREAGH replied, that the Petition had been presented to the Prince Regent, by whom it had beat forwarded to the First Lord of the Treasury ; and that lie (Lord C.) had not had any communication as to the result. FOREIGN ENLISTMENT BILL.--The Attorney-General moved the order of the day for the second reading of this Bill. Sir HOBERT WILSON said he would rot trouble the house with any quotations from Puffendorti or GrOlillb, in order to :hew what the law of nations was upon this subject. He would only state, that it had ever beim recognized as the law, that every neutral power should suffer it. subjects to en;page with the belli• gerents. In 17st we had Russian curps,and also Hes dens, Hano verians, and other; in our service, without in the least t mbmiling those states in war. The Swiss were notoriously stipendiary troops at the command of contending powers ; yet Switzerland had never on that account been involved in war. But America was now referral to as our authority in this case. Ile cherished a peculiar partiality and attachment for America ; he considered America as a vast and impreg nable citadel of freedom, which threw wide open its gates f or tle reception and protection of the oppressed. But freedom and jastice should go together. He was not so blinded by his love of America as not to see that she aspired too much after her own aggranciisetnent. She had at first encou raged the South Aniericsuoi ; the two finest frigates that could be seen at sea had been fitted out in bet pot is for their maitre ; she had sent commissioners, if not to negotiate a treaty, at least to in spire hope and energy ; she had established a strong force in Tax is, the province next to al exivo. Spain seeing all these symptoms of co-operation with the colonies. said, " Desist. and we will give you the Floridas." The Floridas were, in fact, surrendered to America. Ile would not pretend to be a prophet, especially in times like the past, but the risillt of a!I those proceedings might be easily tortween. America having poured her population into the Florida,, having occupied the ports adjacent to the West In dic:, would next demand Cuba. Site would without tout% diffi culty obtain Cuba. Having thus extended her power to Mexico, and established her commerce from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean, she would laugh at England for her simplicity and acqui escence. But what right had Spain to make this demand upon ? (hear.) She was preparing an expedition against her colo nies ~t the port of Cadiz, the same port front which an expedition had sailed against this country, of which specimens might be seen in the 'fowtr of London. Ind this constitute a claim upon et.r co operation ? (a laugh.) Yet we were called upon to psss a law whirl:, at the same time that it would reto o l our commerce, waved place thousands of our fetlow-subjects, whenever they tOLlChttl their native land, at the mercy of any mercency and wicked•ftiformer, who wild arrest as criminals, and send titian to gaol AI IllaitfaClOTS. It surely would be enough to refer those who might be disposed to meet us the service of the South Ante sirens to the ordinanse made by Ferdinand. in Mastoid, a few month, ago, devoting all who should engage in this service to the most ignominious death. But must it further be enacted Lty a British parliament. that our-fellow subjects, who may reach their native shores, shall spend their lives in British gaols r Ile would trouble the house with no i orther observations, but he moved, as an amendment, that this bill be read a second time this day six months.

A peasant has found in a field near Vittoria, a very valuable diamond : there is every reason to be lieve that it belonged to Joseph Iluonaparte, who lost all the riches and valuable effeas which be was carrying away,-in consequence of the total defeat of the French army near that city. We may observe here, that the Prince of Orange was present at that memorable battle, which led to the deliverance of Spain. The value of .the diamond is stated to be 400,000 reels (above 100,000 francs).
