'PARLIAMENTARY COMMENTARY. 1/Intaa of Loans....-After a little talk about the MarriageAct,tord Suffield presented the Petition (with which our readers are pretty well acquainted already) from the Hundreds of North Erpingham and South Greenhoe. In presenting the petitions, he said . tvai the petitioners were anxious to disclaim the gene ral Couttty . Petition of the 3d of January. The peti tions kre pult`red . to ne very.quietly upon the table. In consequnce of a question from Lord Lansdowne, Lord.Lieerpool said that the Austrian loan was in a eptase•of arrangement. Lord Darnley is reported to have said that be" thought the distress of agriculture " was cri its worst, and that he thought a favourable " cli*agit Might:be looked to." Looked go, aye! •s l oo ked to," indeed, but that is all, nntil more than thirty' millions of taxes are taken off. We shall go down into Kent soon, and see what they are "looking " t 0.".. there. We hope to have the honour of meeting his Lordship at the next county meeting at Maidstone; and we 'shall then see what the county is "looking d/ to." IN TUX COX3lo,lll.—There is a Marriage Act here, too. So that, there aro two Acts for the same • purpose, going on iwthe twolionses at one and the tame tit:a. This seems to' be peculiarly appropriate in the case of Marriage Acts ; for the two acts, by finally becoming one, will have had a wedding ; and if they do not become one, it will be' a strange thing indeed!! • PARLIAUXUTART RIXFORM.•••Matter upon this sub • jut arose out of a petition presented from the City - of Loudon. That it was weighty, our readers will rea dily coneeiie. However, Mr. Canning did not seem to pay, mach attention to it, of .which he appears so have been reminded by Mr. Alderman Wood: The Secretuf •of State observed that it was not very . cessary for him to listen to the reading of the petition, uhe bad read it some months ago. Lord John Riff tall, at the suggestion of Mr. Creery, gav,e, notice.dt motion to be made to-night, with irgard to the uup hers of voters in the several boroughs, prepa9tOrY to. the motion which he is to make for Peeßsatentary Reform. This may be very well, perhapit •that is to say, if they do nq hark ;, but wetlanOyeee what, very . great good lx to Ulna true • : •It'is not on any fact of this sort Ilint die *tint* of itiforin can rest. That necessity it finisind on the notoriety of the state rthe - can. It is' known that the people are not re presenteiti that - the Cornmaw, that is to say, the com mon people., hue no influence in the making of laws. The procures that are now wanted cannot be adopted Withent . the hearty co ncurrence of the people - at large, sad that cencafteihte cannot be obtained without a 'Mgr= The incieut history of boroughs has no thing at all to dw*ith the matter. It is not a , ques tion for the antiquarian, or the reader of bistories, but a question for the politician of t he p resent day.--Lord Altborpe ' gave notice that be should on Thursday se . 'ne i l i ght, move for the repeal of the fo-1 reign eatable :a bilL--4upply.—On a motion about Bschequer Creevy made a speech full of very good matte(. ; justifying, fully, the conduct of Mr: Hume 'the other night. After him came Mr. Wil liam Lamb, who ,took occasion to observe,• that the . Crown had resigned its landed revenues, and that tberefoie there ought to be no hesitation in granting supplies to the crown out of the taxes. Mr: Huine observed that the crown lands ought to yeild a large revenue, and that they yielded to the public nothing. The new Chancellor of the Exchequer said that every • thing about the crown lands was done according to : "'ltetaf Parliament ! And the currency has been al 'tired according to Act of Parliament ; and Six Acts are Acts of Parliament; and the marrying work that has been going on for the last half year has been done according to Act of Parliament. All that Mr. Hume trims is another sort of Act of Parliament. DISTRIBUTORS OP STAMPS.—Mr. Hume moved for an account of the names, districts, and the amounts of emoluments and profit. This will be a valuable domment;if we should by any accident get it in an in telliglble:ferm. Attu this, Mr. Home moved for other papers which wiltalehbe very useful to the public. Catholic Question. —This wearisome subject is, it veins, to be bran& forward by Mr. Pluukett on Thursday night. We have a hundred times observed, thit in our opinion it is perfect nonsense. That which is aimed at would enrage the protestants, and would he.-received as an insult frcan the great body of. the Catholics. So' that this is a pretty sort of measure to produce. conciliation and peace. Mr. Hume's measure - about the Church and about 7'ythes *ill be something like, indeed. That is the sort of " emancipation" which the Catheliu want. Mr. Plunkett's etuanci pausal amd Mr. Canning's emancipation are things which they treat With ridicule and scorn. It is the strangest thing - in all this world, that men who want to conciliam.peeple should insist upon giving them that which they do not care a straw about, and upon treating them as rebels if they very clamorously de mand that which they do want This certainly iy the oddest sort of governing that ever was in the world. We imagine, that during the intended debate, Plunkett will not find himself upon a bed of .- - ruses. He will not be singing hallelujahs to eurap ' tined saints. Howeier, when we recollect what passed (luring the season btarAegee Acts, we cannot say that we' have any extiaOrdln r of solicitude upon this . . . . 'F BOURBON WAR. It appears that the„ Spaniards are .not disposed to subtuit•to the French; and that the French are equally Score. TIM STA' indisposed to desist from their object. We are told by the liforniftg Chronicle, and, indeed, by the French papers, that the medigiopa offered by our govern ment to the French, has been rejected decidedly; and we are only surprised that Mr. Canning should have offered it, seeing that no mediation in such a state of things ever was before offered until a fleet of at least twenty sale of the line had'been prepared. Lord Althorp's motion about the Foreig'n Enlistment Bill, will bring forth the views of the Ministers as to peace ur war. We think that Lord Althorp's motion will he rejected ; for we should vote against it ourselves, unless we were prepared to vote against the taking off of one shilling of tax. The Spanish Ambassador that was at Paris has arrived in London, and the chronicle assures us that both " he and his wife arc in high health and spirits." We are very glad to hear this; for nothing is more pleasant than to see a lady in high health and spirits ; but we humbly con ceive, under correction of the chronicle, that this has very little to do as to the prospects of the Spaniards. STOCK EXCHANGE, HALV-PAST or no business is doing this morning is the market. Consols opened at 745, and , are now 74g. There isa great dullnesi in all spe culations in the funds. FOREIGN MARKET.—The above market is.very siaek this morning. .

Paris Papers have arrived to the 16th inst. It is of firmed by one of these Journals that the Brest squadron bad received orders to sail ; that the admiral was not to open his instructions until he bad reached a certain dis tance, and that he would. have already been at sea had net contrary winds prevented him. It appears, however, that this is not the only squadron which is to sail from Brest, and that another " division of ships," now fit ting out, was to proceed from the same port to the Me diterranean, under the flag of Rear-Admiral Dessotours. Accounts from Bordeaux give the routes of numerous regiments for Bayonne, and on Sunday the tieneral Offi cers who have received appointments in one of the four first corps of the army of Spain. were to wait on the Duke de Angouleme, to receive their instructions. There i appears to be a good deal of intrigue carrying on among I the politicians of Paris. The Ministers have held fre qUent councils at "M. de and as he is supposed [to retain some of that disposition for peace which he was known to have possessed, the Ultras regard him with in d jealousy. On the other hand a confer -vice of a different nature has taken place which has (inn rise to various speculations. This conference took place on Friday last, at M. de CUATZUBIIAND'B, with the Austrian and ltussian ambassadors, Baron VINCINT and daunt Pozzo di Bows°, and Count LAGARDS, lately re tdrned from Madrid. Some politicians imagined that i t Mated to the declaration said to have been made by 114 do Vmsts in the secret sitting on the Address, "that France was compelled to attack the South in order to escape from the North."

Bayonne papers, to the 10th inst., which have corns to hand this morning state, that an order has been sent by the political chief of Bilbao, to *all the ports in the Gulf of Biscay, where the defentjere of the Faith began to exer cise their piracies.. to remove all vessels and boats fit for ,the service, o the port of Bilbao, or to burn them, and this order had already began to be carried into effect. By this precaution the : -factious will be deprived of the means of embarking, if driven to the coast: An insurrection had broken lout in fiallicia, at the instigation of ..some Cures, but on the 25th the Insurgents were . .completely routed, and the communi cation ivithconitilire-estaidished. The Portuguese Ge neral, netts; who remains in his position on the banks of the MinliO, offered his ass:stance to the Spanish Authori die, bet Ilia offer was declined, the circumstance not teiptintet as to render it necessary. ", • mairfrom Holland,which has arrived to day, brings an article from St. Petersburgh, of the 24th ult. which contains nothing bu• alist of the present Members of the Ministry, and an account of the state of the weather and of the commercial intercourse with the East. This trade, it appears, grows every year more important.— ' Between the 15th ofloly, and the 15th December, there had proceeded front the frontier Customhouse, two c.tr ravans of 160 camels, and three others of BS7. An,article ftom Berlin of the Sth instant states, that the Royal Government at Cologne has gixen notice, that Prussian subjects who go as soldiers to Greece are not to expect any kind of assistance on their return, and " the kss se, u the distress which there awaiti them will bays hewn wholly drawn on them by transgressing their duty as subjects, in attaching themselves to a canoe foreignw those duties and in its own nature criminal."

Feb. 16.—Arrived his Majesty's steam-packet Derelict, bringing his Excellency the Duke de San Lorenio.lste Ambassador from Spain to the Court of Paris. As soon as the packet neared the pier, she was hailed, to know i' the Spanish Awbatsader was on board, by one of the numerous persons assembled on the pier; tie answer be int yes, it was p• °posed to give three cheers for Spanish liberty, which wee passed to the other pier, and three times three hearty cheers were given loin b•dli pier heads. The Ambarsador aelctiowledged the warm salute of the people assembled, by bowing and raking off his cap. On landing,. the same compliment was paid flint. His Excellency went to the Ship Inn and tcok refreshment, and has just now (six 'o'cloik) started for• London. The usual ceremony of searching basseage and carriage being dispensed with, litt.e time was lo.t at the Custom-house. Yesterday eveninr, about six o'clock, the Duke arrived in town ; he came in his private carriage, drawn by a pair, followed by his suite in two carriages, one with four, the other six horses. The .I.lbrning Chronicle gives the fol losing accositt of the jOurney of the Duke, from his landing. at Doter till his arrival at the house of Admiral Jabat, the present Spanish Ambassador, iu Portland Place.

At Blackheath he was met by AdmiralJabat. Hens he alighted and got into the Admiral's carriage. The poitillions were decorated with red ribbons. Along the roa 1 from Blackheath the, procession sno hailed with continued Ituszes. In the middle of the lt ein-road, a large coecuuree of people had assembled, who took the horses from the Amin sador's carriage, and' 'drew it in triumph over Westminster-. bridge, through Regent-Street, sod up to Portland-place. The line of eared along which the Duke passed wes thronged whit' jaeople, who felt anxious to testify their respect; to the late Representative of Spain ! in France, and their abhorrence of those principles which I had compelled Aim to quit the French capital.
