The hoeoumble member, proposing that his wietieit ihould.be considered as urgent, was supported by above two thirds of the members, who rese at once : it was therefore read a second time—and the mover supported it in a speech, in which he observed, that though. the •daneer seemed remote, yet it was proper to think of pre poring against it while we have time to consider ma turely. It being resolved by above two-thirds of the Assembly, that the motion should be immediately die. tuned, it was resolved to refer the motion to a Special Committee. In the same sitting it was proposed to suspend the ex pedition to Bahia. The Assembly resolved not to put this proposal to the vote. A proposal for raising fresh levies remained for the second reading. In the same sitting M. Joao de Oliveira, after showing in a toil. ao4 animated discourse the impropriety of regarding the Hessian provinces as in rebellion, read a long motion, tending to the renewal of amicable and commercial rela tions without loss of time. In the Sitting of the 121 h, hl. Manoel de Macedo brinight forward a motion which was referred to the Committee appointed to consider that of M.

Snt,—To doJostice toyottr peysevering efforts to cause redaction o feaposditire antLto expose the jobbing be longing to that expenditure; to do justice to these efforts no one has been more ready *au I have. Bin,Slr, fro. that which is reported as your speech of Friday last, I am satisfied, that you will much more than render those efforts ofno nse tothe nation, if yen act upon the 'decla ration contained in that speech. I have looked at all the morning papers, and they air agree in the substance.— The words of the Chronicle are these:— Mr. House—He could not sit down without stating, that " nothing would occasion him greater regret than to find a `• majority of that House assenting to any proposition " which would rob the public creditor of earn a shilling of " kir demand; and he thought that his Majesty's Ministers " deserved Me thanks of the country for the firmness with " which they had maintained its faith with the public ere " ditor. The cause of the rata of many Slates had been " the violation of/aid& with their creditors and he trusted " that we should never imitate such en example. He was " as anxious as any man could he, to affor.i relief to that "branch of the community which was now so much din " tressed, but he could never consent to it at the expense of " the public faith." Taking you to mean, by public faith, that paying of three for one to the fandholders which is now going on, and finding that you thank the Ministers for this confis cation of the property of the land owners, farmers, la bourers, and country tradesmen ; finding that you thank the Minister: for this, I must conclude, that the money, that you want to save, you intend for the Jews and job. bars; and I, for my pact, would rather pee the labour of the ploughman mortgaged even to Parsons and Sinecure placemen than to the grasping, villainous Jews. The farmer will,in all probability, spend in England what they get. The other wretches rake it together to lend it to any despots in foreign countries, that want it, even to make war against England itself. _ The funding-system is the great root of all the tor. roptions, of all the loss of liberty and happiness in Eng. land, and of all the English feebleness which is now about to put Spain into the hands of our old and bitter enemy. And, you being such s desperate supporter of this all cor rupting and now confiscating system, any thing that you rosy do in the way of lopping off expences, 1 can look upon as proceeding from no other motive, than ' that of taking from other branches to give to this branch, which is already the most mischievous of the whole. In short, if the gold payments proceed, there mast be an open division : the land and tabour against the Jews and Jobbers. The ploughman's labour is now as much a subject of confiscation as the estate of the Lord. 1, for my part, am not only rot the friend, but am the enemy, of those who would beggar the villages, in order to enrich this Jewish Wen; and theme persons I regard as ten thousand times more the enemies of the country even than those who support the expences that you would curtail: the latter may be profligate; but, the former are bard-hearted and malignant as Shylock himself. You are pleased, it seems, to assert, that you know of many states which have been rained by what you call robbery of Creditors," and what tee call an" equitable adjustment of contracts." Would you be so kind as to name to us any of those states! You may, to be sure, call Julius Ccesar,Colbert, Charaillard, General Wash ington, and Count Metternich, a parcel of fools, and tell them to " take their change out of that ;" but, I wait, Sir, to hear you name one single state that has ever been ruined, or even injured by a redaction of the interest of its public debt. . . I am, Sir, your most humble And most obedient servant, Wm. COBBETT. THE PETITION OF MR. THOMSON, TO THE HONOURABLE TUB COMMONS OR THE UNITED XINGDoM OP GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND, IN PAR LIAMENT ASSEMBLED. The Petition of Charles Andrew Thomson, of Chiswick, in the County of Mi Most humbly showeth, That your Petitioner has, for many years past, paid large sums of money, out of the produce of his industry, for the support of the government and laws of the country; that he has always been taught to believe, that, in return for this support, he had a right to expect from the Go vernmentand laws protection in the rightly enjoyment of his property ; but, that, he has, by that government awl by those laws, been despoiled of his property, and that, from a state of opulence, he has, by the unjust effects and irresistible force of Acts of Parliament, been reduced to a state of ruin and bankruptcy. That your Petitioner imputes no intentional wrong-do ing to your Honourable horse or to any branch of the government; that to err is not to be criminal that it is not given to man to be free from error; that from error wrong may innocently be committed ; and that of that obstinate perseverance in error, which converts nnin tentional wrong into premeditated injustirc,your Peti,ion er confidently hopes that, he is not doomed to witness at instance, in' the conduct of your Honourable Hone. That your Honourable House has not now to be in formed ot the mighty mischiefs resulting frait the mea sures for returning to caSh-payments, unaccompanied as they unhappily were with israsnres for rectifying con tracts ; that the cries of thousands- upon thousands of families, suddenly plant .:d into penury and want, from a state of ease and of plenty, cannot fail to have reached the ears and to have awakened the compassion of your Honourable House • lint that, amongst the thousands upon thousands of sUff , rers,your Petitioner believes, that the case of few can exceed, in hardship and injustice, that to which he now most earnestly begs the attention of your Honourable House. ' • That your Petitioner and his Father (now deceased) were Oporto-mercbants for thirty tears, and in the most extensive trade; that, in this trade, and in that of Wine merchant, in which your Petitioner's Father had been: for many years previous to those thirty. they gained a large fortune; and that in 1811 and 1812 tliey; with a pa:t of their capital, made divers purchases of land. • That they purchased the-estate of Northaw, iva Hert• fordshire, for which they paid, id ready money, 82,1100/. on which estate they both two excallent new boosts and• xis cottag e s, anf broke op 200 acres of land which they broughtinto a state of fiee•enltivation; that the whole of these improvements cost them 10,0001.; .and that the estate, therefore, has cost them 72,000/. That in 1812 your Petitiorier,and his Father bar g ained for the estate of Ponrryla; in Herefordshire for £60,0001 the proprietor of which estate -was John Ashfordby Teen bard, Doctor of Divinity, of Higlaworth, in dal county of Wilts, and paid £5,545 loom!' as a dos posit. That the title was by the I ,w adviser of your P.. titioner deemed not good, sod that your Petiti oner accordingly rotated •to templet, the purchase, itstlinonght aft action- lot. the iefbsit. - 'That the render . ~ !Y ~. ti :.

That at the end of that period the Vice Chaseellord ► cidd against your Petitioner. That there was then doe to Trinchard for purchase money and interests thereon, £71,957. 19s. 541. and from Tread). It'd to your Petitioner for rents received .C 6,939, 1.. 9d. making a balance against your Petitioner of .C 65,119. 17e. Si.' That in the mean time your Petitioner bad experi• enced great reverses in his commercial affairs, in cintse- Tient* of the fume all-ruinous cause, and, being tumble to pay the sum of X 65,118. 17s. rid. gave to Treachard a mortgage for .C 65,9191 on the estates of Ponttylu and Northaw. That between the year 1819 when the Chancery suit was decided, and July, 1821, your Petitioner paid in part of the Debt of £65,000 the sum of £5,000; and £B,OOO interest on the same up to July, 1821. That on the decision of the Chancery suit your Peti tioner was put into possession of the estate and continued in possession until he treatise Bankrupt, during which time your Petitioner received on account of rent and tim ber, £3,410. That lu July 1821 your Petitioner ()Semi the two estates for sale, but could not obtain for them a price at all equal to his expectations or theamount of the stun for which they were mortgaged. That iii October 1821 your Petitioner became a Back rupt. That Teeneherd thereon took the proper legal steps to retain the profits of the estate, and has since given noice of fore-closing the mortgage. That thus your Petitioner has actually paid to Trench ard 18,5551., while he has received from the estate 3,4101., and is in danger of losing both this estate and his estate at Norther, which cost your Petitioner 72,000/. That, on the other hand, Dr. Trenchard has received in cash from your Petitioner 18,555/.; together with the whole rents of the estate from the time of sale up to the year 1819; and that he has nor applied to the assigne. s of your Petitioner for leave to take the two estates, to paler with all arrears of rent, which are due from February 4820 (and which, together with timber felled, your petitioner estimates at about 3,5001.) in lieu of the debt of 60,0601. That the Assignees of your Petitioner are now praying the Court of Chaneery to agree to the above proposal, and that if the prayer should he granted, Trenchaid will have received the whole rents and profit of the estate ex cept for two years, and £1,470 fur timber; that he will have been paid £18,555 by your Petitioner, and that in addition to his own estate be will have acquired the estate of Northsw, which cost your Petitioner .C 72,000. That your Petitioner Ind his deceeiedF. fier pa chased other estates, in 1811, io the counties of Middlesex, Es sex, and Hants, for .£33,166, which have now been ac tually sold for £12,000; that your Petitioner and his Father, owing to the depression - in the price of land, and to a like depression in that of their stock in trade, were in 1821, reduced to a sta'e of bankruptcy; that seven children of your Petitioner. ten children of his broths-It, and seven children of his sister, will now be left wholly destitute, while your Petitioner's Father, with a heart broken by these calamities. died io the year 1822. It is to prevent this act Of crying injustice and cruelty that your Petitioner humbly implores your Honourable House to interpose the exercise of that power which you possess, for the purpose of protecting Lis Majesty's peo ple against Oppression. Your Petitioner thinks it wholly unnecessary to take up the time of your Honourable House in chewing, that this threatened coufiseation of his property has arisen wholly from those legislative measures, Which have produced that change in the value l et money, which has taken two-thirds from the price of 'agricultural produce, and which has, of course, lessened, in the same degree, the price of land. His case is so plain that it cannot be misunderstood ; and, therefore, begging leave to remind yonr Honourable. House of the. Bank-Suspension Act in 1797, of the Suspension of Actions against the non-resident Clergy in 1800 (which actions were afterwards quashed by an Act of your Honourable House) and of the suspension of the land lord's power of distress against tenante, in 1812; yotsr Petitioner begging leave to remind your Numerable House of these precedents, most humbly prays your Ho nourable 'Lome to snepend the power by which the mortgagee above-mentioned may be enabled to take from him his estate; and he further prays your Honourable Howie to cause such equitable adjustment of contracts between man and man, as may prevent the utter ruin of your Petitioner, and ai. numerous persons dependant for their bread on Isis pecuniary means. And your Petitioner will evet pray, CHARLES ANDREW THOMSON. - ..._t •., ..4..t4*Vy<Pl.s* . . sHiPPitt INTsweitiLiek. from 'he Rehecia,' Tl;ornSon, :,Liveipool 40 Como* an I Leghorn, was totally lost on Wrdelfiday in Nos Steep Helo t ,••• DEAL, FEE. 113.--Censis damn from dieriver last MOS, the Hopewell, Smith, for Jamaica ; put back from baler Duneeness. the Thetis.

EXECUTION—tan MoitinNis —ffsolo— - , • -- This morning ;SriWait North. upwards of (fil years o' age, who was convicted of an unnatural •offence, suffered the awful sentence of the law at the usual place of execu tion in the Old Bailey.—lt will be recollected that this wretched man was convicted in the September Sessions, and was to have suffered with two other persons, who were eNe euted for the same offence, but was respited fir the purpose ' of enquiry being made irito the truth of an 'Hedged itury he had received in the head by a splinter from the mainmast of his Majesty's ship Superb, on board of which ship he served as an assistant-surgeon, and which injery, he said in his defence, frequeally caused a temporary derangement, The falsehood of this assertion was fully proved, a d his nee was considered of too atrocious a nature to entitle tom to mercy in this world. . The Rev. Ordinary and Me. Baker were yesterday with him for a considerable tiine,endeavouring to remove from his mind prejudices which he urfortunately entertained against the truth of Christianity ; but we lament to say without ef fect. He believed, he said, in a future state, of rewards and punishments, but denied the doctrine of the atonement and expiatory sacrifice by Jesus Christ. This morning. when brougit into the press-roont, he exhibited every ap pearance of a disordered mind. His step vies quick, short, and feeble, his countenance vacant, and his eyes rapid y glancing at the surrounding objects. When a momentary gleam of reason appeared to shoot across his mind, he turn ed his eyes and hands towards liesien, and muttered out a prayer for mercy from his Creator. The awful preparations being completed, the mournful procession moved towardi the scaffold; lie ascended with a trembling step, and cast his eyes wildly around at the assembled multitude. After a short time spent in prayer, the fatal signal was given, the drop fell, and the world closed on the wretched man for elm DREADFUL CALAMITY AT TUE THEATRISi NEWCAATLF neon Trsg.—On Wednesday last, while the perform mance of Tom and Jerry, which had attracted a large audience in the Gallery, was proceeding, a Gas Light in the lower pact of the circus came in contract with a piece of board, and set fire to it. Though the Are was as trifling in its event as can be well imagined, and very quickly extinguished, yet i the alarm having taken place a general rush to get out eusued, and the consetptences that followed most calattiitotts. '' The extent of ca lamity," says the Newcastle Chronicle of. Saturday, is not yet known, as those who were bruised were canied away to their respective. homes, and it is thus not easy to ascertain the number, whilst the fate of many of thou is yet uncertain.

THEATRICALS. DRURY LANs.—The Opera of Rob Roy Macgregor was performed on Saturday, with great effect. Mr. MELsoss made his first appearance before a London audience in the part of Francis Usbaldiston. This gen. tleman't voice cannot be .aid to be of the very first rate —but he possesses much good tave, and when he intro• duce: ornament it is done with judgment. He sung the song "My Love she's like the red red rose" with a treat deal of feeling, and a repetition was t ailed for with much acclamation. Miss STEPHENS was as delightful as ever in the part of Miss Vernon; and Lisros, as the rep e sentative of Baillie Jarrie, was as Ituannueous and amus ing as nsual. The p :its of Rub Roy, Rashleigli Usbal diseon, and Helen Macgregor, were r-Ppectiv.ly repre sented by COOPER, YOUNG). and Mrs. WEST, with great success, and the Opera was altogether so well received, that it was announced for repetition to ;morrow. CoveNT Gannest.—The Opera of the Marriage of Figaro afforded a fine treat on Saturday in the appear ance of Miss PATON an 4 Miss TREE together in the suite piece ; the former as the countess, and the latter as S 'mama. which puts, we find, they are to act alternately. It were needless to say that they both arteitted them selves with infinite ability. The other principal parts were also well sustained, and the Opera went a with great edit.
