Lord MILTON pre.entl a Petition fres Mr. Pitt, of the Adeiphi, complaining n( an undue return for the Boreegh of Camelford. The Petitioner had teen desired by the Esentiners to enter lave his re. costalunces on a certain day, and wises be attended with his recognisance, on the day Geed. he bad been Odd that that be was a day too late. The Petitioner benohly submitted to the House, that as there was so mistake on hit part, the thee for Ids entering hit^ evrotni 44 might be ettle►eed. The MI:MIER stated to the House, that he Aim. self had had a later from the Petitioner on the sub ject of bis-Verition. When main; enquiry of the Naansivers, they hail informed Lim, that the usual day bad been named by the Petitioner, and bad been sanctioned ty thew. That had been foetid to be a day too lee; bet the Esaminers told the Petitioner, that they would esemitie his sureties, and report to the Howse. Bet the Petitioner had affirmed, that the day named was in time; and that he did net waist his moieties to be 'mooned. The course of proceeding seemed to be to appoint a Committee to estamine into the alleged facts. That past of the Petition that related to the Kerma, fell properly under the ensoisatica of an Electioo Committee. Lord MILTON thought, the part-of the P#•ition relative to the recogoissoces, might be referred to a Committee. Mr. W YNN doubted, if the Hover Ned power to retrace its steps, after tha recogoisances bad bees dis charged. Lord CAST LEREAGH was of opioion, that el • opinion of a Committee might bring the witele ques tion before the Hasse. The SPEAKER. observed, ,bat thifaci in the Pvtition most be veribirit by the oath of the getitioutr; bat the evidence albs. Esamiivers was aim necessary, which could not be taken no moth.

The news from Meek° is said to be of a favour. able nature,. but the Spanish C anent has not thought proper to publish it.

LONDON: Tncasntr. MAY 20, 1819. Of Bal . Aff a ir s , though one of the men! import ant subjects rrdixosuon with the British Public, we are - uot diMeraed to enlarge thereon, till Mr. Pear., as the profs of the Bosse of Commons Com mittee, has made his Report, which he is about to do. We would only observe, that the commerciel world has a strange ..a wron g ides, that if by any sepereltn.vl power the Beak and its notes were soddenly destroyed, trade would be at an end, and all traffic redeem! to chaos. Necessity, fro the other hand, is the wither or binomials ; obligations could be entered i n to unit fulfilled by a Parliamensery ar. rangentfoi, more speedily than the late Bill eel ef fected fos freeing the Bank from the engegemest to pay certain smell notes. In the Report we, we cannot help observing in this place, that it has been pies/Jotted to repeal the Act of IBM which forbad any Bank IVoie or Bill from being received for a smeller corn than it denoted (a mote silly and tyrannical Art never passed), of thst Act banished (nn (Wahl it did) the gold coin from circulation. Now, it Is supposed that if Ilse above Act were re-i pealed, the Book note might fetch fifteen or sixteen shillings in the pound, sod then geld would bows again. There is hardly a question that such would he the elect ; but what a denote situation would be that of the Governor and Directors of the Bank. While they have been pocketing immense profits, their debts are paid by fifteen or Matron shillings in the posed! The very i•tetestiog debate en Tuesdey night in the Mese of Commons most undoubtedly bare stirred op nisch reflection in 'hashed of petty man • ha witnessed it. Mr. Tscanta alas collected, dNpaa• l ionate, soil methodical, and in no one instinct did he exaggerate the distress of the cowslip, woe paint in too deep colours the despair with which all ranks ere spieled at the little hope there is of sating it re lieved. All that talking rnuiil do, wag done by Lord CASTLERI AGII and Mr. CA Nstxo ; hut facts male • mire powerful impr►ssion than words; not one of •11 these used by the Member for. Knamborough could be contradicted ; all that could be done by Ministers wes to instante the defeat of the invete►ate 'flimsy (Bosar‘itsr), end the termination of • long war. The power of the elements was left oat of the question, and so was the consideration of the enormolia et yma of the war, together with the consideration that our Ministers were *WNW by f::clve Sovereign Slates to bring the war to a successful teimioation. So wisely bas the boasted victory been achieved, that it may be said with troth, as was said by PHILIP to one of hit great Generals who congrolulased him on it, " Another such a victory would lose me my crown." Are we in a condition to attempt each another, let the provocation be what it will 2 No.-- While these victories, Ministers are in pewee, they mutt have • vast, • ruinously espeuelte fine kept up to maintain their esthority ; vilmfrees, if the Ned. able, the salutary object of Mr. Tisnssi bed brew achieved, and a popula► Administration &mead, a few soldiers would have sufbced for the duty in gar. rigors, and the amity power (posse conked's) woeld have protected as trout hairn, while the re. dress of giievances, a•d the wecessa►y end indispen. eibk work of Maroon ebo•ld be electing in Parte. owl.
