FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 28, 1823. PARLIAMENTARY COMMENTARY. IN TIRE COMMONS (for there was nothing in the Lords worthy of notice) the glair of Mr. Bowring.—l really Lave very great reluctance is noticing this affair at all. 1 said from the beginning that it was a piece of great as 'armee to foist, or attempt to foist this gentleman's ill treatment in France, in amongst the transactions between the two governments; and if, at this time of day, I could be sueprised at any thing in some of the gentlemen op posite, Win:sold be at their appearing to bare imagined that this was a subject, with regard to which they were likely to place their adversaries in the wrong. One single question; the putting of one single short ques tion to the agitators of this affair must, I imagine, make them see at once the full estent of the absurdity of their interference : the question is this, suppose the Secretary of State to have found Mr. Bowring's complaint . , true in all its parts; suppose the Secretary of State to have made complaint to the French Government in theeKieg's name, and in thatnanse to have demanded redresb; ap pose the French Government to have refitted redress; is Lord Archibald Hamilton prepared to say that . Eng land ought 4o have gone to war is eonsertenee sif each refusal f If he be prepared to say that, I imagine, that if be were to poll the whole nation, be would not get three people to be on his ride. Three, did I say? Yes, he might get four perhops; but that I think is the at• most.—lf, indeed, Mr. Bowring might be a public fonctionary ; then the King, then the country would have been concerned in the question. As it is, the King and the country have nothing at all to move for.--The mo tion was for papers : so here would have been an expense of printing of God know's what! In short, the motion could not be otherwise than negatived. THE NORFOLK PETITION PRESENTED !—Not from the county of Norfolk, but from the county of Hereford. When Mr. Coke means to present the peti tion as coming from Norfolk, I cannot tell. I, who am as much interested in that petition as any body, have not been able to learn this, though I have made appli cation for the purpose to my representative. Last night, 1 " we** the algae petition was presented, with therilffer once of additional paragraph at the beginning,and the difference in the title of the petition, the word Hereford being in the place of that of Norfolk. This petition was presented by Mr. PRICE, one of the members of the county. This gentleman was not, in this case, under the p sinful necessity of apologizing for the language of the petition ; he was not placed in the awkward predict'. meat of saying that many had opposed it, merely as the sni ens of preventing the adoption of another petition ; lie was not under the painful necessity of thus describing i. as a thing bad in language, and originating in false pride, and persevered in from envy and spite ; Mr. Farce WWI nut under the painful necessity of thus speaking, end thus giving to be understood, with regard to this petition. In presenting this petition, be had an honour able ditty to perform ; he bad nothing to be ashamed of, with regard to the 'names of the petitioners, their language or their motives. It was not a set of thought le. s creatures whose names had been collected at Here ford Fair, and got down upon the paper in consequence of their seeing the names of half a dozen envious and' stupid rich men already written down st the head of the paler; it was not a list of silly creatures 1.11 on by a little band of proud fouls : it was a list of gentlemen, yeo men, farmers, and tradesmen, who knew what they were signing ; who were misled by nobody; and who had duly considered the contents of what they signed. Mr. Pates 94111, as nearly as could be remembered, "the petition which "I hold is) nty hand is very respectably signed. It has to it " eleven hundred awl eighty names, great part of which I " know to be most respectable. Having said this of the signa " tures to the petition, the House will, doubtless, be ter " prized to bear that this is no other than the mach talked of petition of Mr. Cobbett ; I mean the NOR. " FOLK PETITION, though coming from the county "of Hereford." Mr. Price was mistaken. The House did not appear to be at all surprised, much less did it appear to he frightened. The influence of the infamous London Press ; that band of now half-broken stock-job btrs, does not frighten people in the House so much as it used to do, and not any thing like so much as it frightens them down in the barns awl boles and corners of Norfolk. This press has the power of frightening those only that do not know what it is. Mr. Price having sat dowa,, Lord Fourarrose rose, and in somewhat the following words, flung down the gauntlet to the calumniators of this petiion. He said that "he would take this oppor. tunity of observing that he had heard this petition de. s cribed as containing propositions and principles, th e most fraudulent, the most revolutionary and the most every thing that was abominable; that be heard this de. cument abused in the most vio'ent manner,reviled in terms the moat opprobrious and even outrageous; he had heard it spoken of, as a thing taken for granted to be so tricked anal detestable, as not to be thought of without abhorrence. He had heard all this of this petition; but he had never yet heard any refutation of any one of its alle gations or its principles, and never any thing to she that any part of its prayers contained a proposit:on unjust in itself, or unfit to be adopted. For his o n part, be said, he had read the petition with great cue, and he had no scruple to say, that be was ready to maintain the truth, justice, and propriety of every part of it. His Lordship added, that the honourable Member who bad presented the pet'. . -' .. , . - Lion had observed that it might be matter of surprise with the House, that tbia petition should be so very OA pectably signed ; but, he (Lord F.) could assure the noise that, whatever might be Its feelings upon the sub- Jett, there was a very large portion of the people who ap proved and decidedly approved, of the contents of this petition." His . Lordship further observed, in allusion to what Mr. Dundas had said in presenting the Berk- shire petition, that the hon. gentleman bad talked of some petitions being passed by clamour. He (Lord F.) bad beard clamour enough against this petition ; but bad never heard that it was passed by clamour, and had never beard any clamour in its favour. After this, his Lordship withdrew his notice of a motion for Wednesday next. His notice was of a motion for a Committee to take into consideration the petition of Mr. Charles An drew Thompson, who complained of the ruinous effects of the change of the currency, and who prayed for an equitable adjustment of contracts. His Lordship ob served that after the presenting of the Surrey petition and this Petition from Herefordshire, he was inclined to enlarge the object of his motion. Here were large and most respectable bodies of men, complaining of the ruinous effects of the change in the currency; com plaining of the confiscations now going on to the ruin of the land and.the labour, and to theadvantage of the fund- holder, the place-man and the pensioner: sad praying in the most earnest manner for an equitable adjustment of Contracts with regard to the public debt, and also with re- gard to contracts between man and man; therefore,he would pot off his motion until next Wednesday se'onight, the 12th of March, when be should propose to the House to appoint a committee to " enquire into the propriety of " adopting some measure for effecting an equitable ad " justment of contracts i►n general, both public and pri " vate."—Thus, then, this Herefordshire " Norfolk Pe " tition" produced an immediate effect. It did not drop dead upon the table like another petition that came from Here- fordshire. It did not go to swell the bill of the pricier of the House of Commons never to be read or thought of again by any human brings, except, per chance, it might find its wayto the eyes of tome Washer-woman, who, its this enlightened age, this age of education, might find a kit of it to peruse for her instruction whilst she was tak ing out of it her farthing's worth of Scotch snuff.—How _ _ Anna Brodie, " notwithstanding her coverture," must have been abashed, when she saw no hero to take up the glove for her in this case. It is easier, it seems, to assail this petition behind its back than before its face. In the barns and holes and corners of Norfolk, Anna has found an abundance of chivalrous knights, lords, big-headed 'squires, admirals, generals (of vast renown) " keeping " together in their chivalry in the well faughten" barns, holes and corners. Nay, Anna saw Mr. Brougham assail this document before it was presented ; be fore it showed its face; but, what must have been Anna's surprise when she did not see the learned gentle man rise to accept the challenge of Lord Folkestone.-- Mr. Brougham, in the excess of his kindness, was so good as to express his compassion for es poor souls who were deluded by our miseries into the proposing and adopting of thin petition Lars wsg. N e eleven hundred and eighty poor deluded souls in Here fordshire ; and, what is very singular, the first upon the list was the Rector of one of the richest parishes in the county, and treasurer to the Bishop of the D'ocese. I am assured that there were not less than four hundred free holders upon this list; many of whom I am also well assured, and several I know to be, men of considerable landed property. Now, here were objects for the learned gentleman's commisseration. Had he no bowels for these poor deluded creatures in Herefordshire? Had those of Norfolk monopolized all his tender feelings. It is useless to speculate upon such a subject, or else one might go on to suppose it possible that the learned gentleman's snap ieties are, just at this moment, engrossed by that new kind of connection which he seems to be forming ; and with regard to which we think it unnecessary to say any thing more just at present ; though we wish our readers to bear in and that we now say that we sh told not be at all surprised to see the learned gentleman, from mo tives of the best description, no doubt, make a consider- able change with regard to the place of depositing his person in the Honourable House. THE PETITION of the undersigned Land-owners, Land-occupiers and Tradesmen of the County of Here ford:— " Most humbly showeth,—" That the distress under ' which your Petitioners are now suffering, is unexampled in the history of this country, and is rapidly involving all landholders, and persons engaged in agricultural pursuits, in immediate and inevitable your Petitioners, called upon by the requisition and summons of the Lord Lieutenant, to investigate the causes of this distress, as well as to suggest such measures as may in their opinion tend to the removal of it, feel it their duty. humbly, yet strongly, to state to Parliament the result of their deliberations on these most momentous snbjects.• Your Petitioners have no hesitation ill ascribing all their calamities to the principles and system on which the add ministration of public affairs has been conducted during the late reign, and that of his present most gracious Ma jesty, to the unfortunate wars in which the country by almost incessantly been engaged during that period ; to' the profligate profusion and corruption which have ills- i tinguished every department of the State ; to the incon sistent and contradictory expedients which the Legisla ture has had recourse to, to supply the means of an enormous and uncontrouled expenditure; to the ruinous and arbitrary measures, first, of a detia-ed paper curren cy, and then, of a transition to metallic payments at the old standard, without reference to the financial difficul ties of the country, or contracts between individuals en tered into during the previous system; hut, above all, to the subserviency of public men to the adni.nistra tions of the day. That it is scarcely necessary for your Petitioners to enumerate the awful consequences evi dently flooing from these causes. The property of the country mortgaged for debts borrowed, and engagements contracted in proportion to the fictitious value of pro duce, and of rents during a depreciated currency, its in (bratty burthened beyond example by a taxation imposed under similar circumstances; ao empoverished aristo cracy; a ruined yeomanry; and silent revolution Jiro needing steadily to its cousummation. That your Peti tioners, yielding to none of their fellow stibjec's en loyalty to their Sovereign and onshaksn attachment to the Con stitution, are willing to submit to any equal sacrifices which way be require] of them to avert so drea ICA a cal Amity; and although they feel great difficulty in pointing out specific remedies for the prevailing die tress, and hive litt!e confidence in any expedients which have hitherto been resorted to for that purpose ; never• tireless, they venture to suggest to your lion. house such measures to arrest the further progress of these evils as • • ‘ ,l 1.4,1; p r • o tifg Af ESMASr "1"".• . ev,..uco4PlW•ll are cleatiljait aniighlt,ible OW for the'publie good,lutit , ever much - they mey Stt . sti'ppoied to 'interfer e with the: wishes of interested ititlividuals. They therefore pray that your hon.house will forthwith direct, an exams-j ' nation into the effects produeed by the different alter ations in the currency, With a view to a fair and reason- Able arrangement of contracts , between debtor and ere. ditor, both public and private, in all their various rela tions, particularly in those of tax payer and tax receiver, landlord, tenant, mortgagee, and annuitant, as shall re place all parties, as far as practicable, on their forrder footing, according to the relative Yalu. of money and other commodities during the late war, and that by such means you will prevent, by some equitable adjustment, the entire sacrifice of the agricultural property and in dustry of the country, to the monied interest. That you will be pleated to suspend and apply to the public use all pensions and sinecures obtained without acknowledged service to the State; that you will cause the strictest economy to be observed in the collection and manage ment of the revenue: that the army and staff in tirest Britain and Ireland, the diplomatic establishment, and all civil offices, with the salaries attached to them in every department, be reduced to the scale of 1792. "That you will be pleased to pass a Bill, excluding all pensioners and plaremen except those whose presence may he necessary to the arrangement of public business from the house of Commons, tint the efforts of such re presentatives as are returned by the prove in the public cause may not be impeded and rendered nugatory by persons whose interests are directly at variance with those of the public. " That, under the pressure of difficulties so overwhelm ing, you will be pleased, till such arrangement of con tracts as they have suggested can be decided on, en tirely to suspend the operation of the Sinking Fund, and Repeal such Taxes, particularly the hop duty, as will restore to the Agricultural Proprietors of the Nation, the prosperity and confidence they enjoyed when do state of things, as your Petitioners have complained of, existed. " And your Petitioners will ever pray," &c. STOCK EKCHANOE, HALF-PAST TwELV6 o'CLOCK.— The Speech of Chateauhrian I has caused great sensation in the City this morning, as it is decidedly for War, and the Public are now looking with great anxiety to what our Ministers will say on that important subject. Con sols opened this morning at 73111, 74 73, at which price they remain, with a goad market for Money trans actions, though but little doing In time barg.iins. A "re port prevails that our Liovernment are not satisfied with the conduct of Russia in the important alfairs cf Spain, and that this topic am discussed in the Cabinet Council held yesterday. FOREIGN FUNDS.—There has been a . frre it bustle in the above Market this morning, and a good deal doing in Spanish Bonds. Most people seem to be selling in anti cipation of hostilities commenting on the part of France. Chili, 89—New Spanish, 3213-01 d. 41—New Prussia, 781—Old, SO—Russia, 731—Danish, 79—Neapolitan, 87— Colombian, 4S;—Spanish Scrip, 34 dis. ONs O'CLOCK.--It is this moment reported that the French Funds came 79f 40c. and that Spanish have fallen 3 per cent. at Paris. Bayonne Papers to the 20th instant, reached us this morning, by which we learn that there has been nothing as yet remarkable from the frontiers, though so anxiously looked for. The greater part of the troops which were , .gageMtneLatiteesetamilisagallambize marched into.thP interior, leaving at each place only a small detachment. General O'Donnell has caused to be printed in Spanish, the answer of the Chamber of Deputies to the King of ' France's Speech, which he prefeccs with an expression of his expectation that the French Army will shortly enter Spain, and that in this event the Soldiers of the Army of the faith will fraternize with the French Soldiers, for the purpose of restoring Ferdinand to liberty. Paris papers to the 2tith inst. bare brought us the con tinuation of the debate in the Chamber of Deputies on the proposed grant of 100,000,000 flaws. On Tuesday the anxiously expected speech of the .Minister of ForeiEn Affairs, M. Chateaubriand, was delivered; but so little was it in that spirit of accommodation which some of our gala(-itunee had anticipated and to which they had as cribed the reserve of Lewd Liverpool and Mr. Canning, that Nine most unrelentingly hostile in its aspect towards Spain, and most provokingly officious in fts reference to this country. After quoting, as an authority, the words of Lord Castlereagh's circular of the 19th of January, 1821, that " No Government has a right to in " terfere in the internal regulations of another " Government, except in cases where its own immediate " safety, or its essential interests are compromised," he refered to the great example which, he alledgcl, they say England gives in protecting the independence of nations. He read a passage of the celebrated Devl iration of Whitehall, dated October, 1793, when England was commencing the war with France: and at the cunclosion exclaimed, " Well, Gentlemen, what do you thick of this " Dec'aration ? Did you not think that you were bearing " the very Speech delivered by the King on the opening " of the present Session"—" England," says he," acts in " concert with her Allies ; and to us it is imputed as a " crime that we have Allies! England promises aid to " the French Royalists, and it is said to be wrong that "we should protect the Spanish Royalists! England " maintains that she has a right to interfere to save " herself and Europe from the evils which desolate " France; and we are to he forbidden to defend ours dyes " against the Spanish contagion! Engi rad rejects the " pretended consent of the French peopie, she imposes " on France as the price of peace, ' the condition of este " 'blishing a Government founded on the principles of "'justice, and capable of maintaining with other States "'the accustomed relations;' and we are obli;ed " to recognise the ,pretended sovereignty of the peo " ple, the legality of a Constitution established by " military revolt, and we are not to have the right to ask " from Spain for our security, institutions rend-red ligi timate by the liberty of Ferdinand." In the same strain, M. de Chateauhriand proceeds to skew that the case of exception which England admitted in her own cause, she admits in the cau.c of another, and that though her interests were not involved in the Revolution of Naples, she judged it otherwise for Austria ; and, that the example and opinion of England should be no more cited in opposition to the French on the subject of interference, he refers to the adinbsion of Mr. Yeel in one of the late discussions in the House of Commons, that Austria had a right to interfere in the affairs of Na. pies." The conclusion to which the orator thus arrives is that the war is as jnstifiable as indispeasable. He an• DVI. ..9 ,t -. n..unces, at the same time, that the :tined'Powers at t . rona have never talked oilnrtiwg in it ; sd that whatitd is to be done Will be done by France ;Ague. ..kt is tenses-t -able, however, that " inclispeti‘sh!e" as to the war is r presented to lie, there is no great haste in prciAlis t i for it; for the oistmeSion on the supply was ...atat; , adjourned.
