KINGSTON, JAMAICA, FEB B.—The death warrant for the execution of the pirates contained 10 in number. They were, about an hour before dawn of day yesterday morning, taken from the gaol under a guard of 'soldier. from the 50th regiment and the City 'Guard. The whole of the ten having been placed on the scaffold, and the ropes suspended, the drop was let down. Veadre, being a heavy man, broke the rope, and fell to the ground alive, but was again suspended ; he was for a long pc , riod convulsed, and died hard. The antiety of the pablic re4pecting intelligence from the Continent has been •ery great to-a n , but up to half-past one o'clock no Mails from Prince hal arrived. Yesterday afternoon, about hal f-pait four o'clock, Mr. 011orivan arrived at the Foreign-other) witn despatches from Madrid. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday at two o'clock, at the. Foreign-office, which sat till near balfirast four. It was rumoured last night, that Mr. Robert Ward res tires from the Ordnance. Yesterday afternoon, the Duke of York.asCirmarAers I in-Chief, held a Levee at his office, in the kiortwthards, . which was attended by between fifty and sixty officers and other persons. Letters and papers from Oporto, to the llth Instant, haw brought important intelligence respecting the inserrection, which may now be considered completely suppressed, as the leader of this abortive attempt in favour of the Holy Alliance only escapes from the Constitutional troops by the rapidity of his flight. It appears. from articles in the Bur &dela Durieme of the Itelt, that Captain Torge, of the Oporto Police Guards, had on that day artier(' from Villa'. Real, which lie left on the 9th. He brought despatches from General Rego, who then had his head quarters in Villa Real, havin entered the town without say opposition, in c onsequence g of the Hight of the rebels in Ile direction of " Villa Pouca, about half way between Chaves and Ville 1 Real. They left behind them taeir baggage, under an es cort, which immediately joined General Rego. The CC- Count of Amarante'ideluded followers are all disappointed. and full of indignation at the manner in which they have been deceived. The Colonel who commanded the 6th lira gosns at Chaves, end who was put under arrest by Arnarae• to for not submitting to his orders, lied effected his escapes and joined General Re to, who expected to establish his head-quarters at Villa Poilel on the 11th. There were great rejoicinre at Oporto in consequence of the arrival of the above gratifying intelligence of the sue. cesslul operations of the Constitutional troops.

Those were the only stipulations, of which he was then swab that this enuuniry had entered into, on the subject to which the Noble * Lard adverted. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that.after , what was stat ed by the Richt Honourable Gentleman, he anemic wil hug to press for a more direct answer. He woald, how liver, wish that the Right Honontable Gentleman would again consult, and make himself acquainted with all those treaties, in order that when at any time the goes , lion should come before the •House, the Right Honour atle Geotleman might be better able to give an answer. "The consideration of the question should necessarily re cast, is consequeece of the invasion of Spain by the Bour bons„after this country had spent one thousand millions in restoring them to the Crown of France. He was of opinion that it was now incumbent on the people of this 'country to clear themselves of all stipulations towards that family.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Secretary CANNING begged leave to observe, that the preseot was no time to go Into argument. The Noble Lord asked a question, w hich was answered as a • matter of fact. In the application of that answer to the Noble Lord's question, he might, perhaps, have been mistaken, but lie understood the Noble Lord to ask a question of fact, and not for the sake of argument, into which he did not then expect to he drawn. Lord JOHN RUSSELL , said be apprehended that he • was reittinderstooul by the Right lion. Gentleman.- - He did not quarrel with the Right Hon. Gentleman's an swer. The Right lion. Gentleman answered him in a matter of fact, lint he advised the Right on. Gentleman to make himself better acquainted with H the stipulations in the treaties. "Sir ROBERT WILSON rose. Observing some symp toms of disapprobation, in some part of the House, he sahl . h . F. wished to put them in possession of a fact which perhaps wars not known to souse, or was forgotten by others. He had put the same question to the Noble Mar quese, the predecessor of the Right Hon. Gentleman, and lie received a positive answer that :this country was not holind by any treaty whatsoever, to guarantee the Crown of France to the Bourbons. He hoped,lberefore, that the Right Hon. Gent. would not take nn himself the odious task of gisitig such a guarantee. • • Mr. CA NNl 4 ,Nit again rose. He said be had in answer in the Noble Lord's question said that there were condi thaw in thee treaties with the Allied Monarehs,lirst call ' 4 eg on this country to join with them in active measures lo'ca•elt,en attempt on the Crown of France by the ideseendaitts if the late usurper; and secondly, in ease and of W- rer.elution breaking Out' in France, to consult qnCert. LisT.--rowetoN MISSIONS. Mr: LENNARD said, that he rose in pursuance of his notice, to call for the production of SAIIIP accounts gon reeted with the Civil List. He was led to understand aat some reduction was made in the third class, and it v-as to that class of the Civil List that he meant to con firm his motion. The object which be had in the infor mation\ belought, was to put the House in possession of the arceants of the reductions made in the Civil List, prepararoty to a motion which he intended hereafter to submit to them on the expenditure of that department. • Zo fhe.produrtian of these papers he could not antici p ate Y. ortemmonslule objection. The House had a right to be iefertotil of !cry reduction in that class of the Civil List, s . svp...;,,ttecattee.the House and the country had an interest in the *bieh Were to go into the Consolidated Fund. • • Sky* a precedent for the granting of the se 'Au" , %Vali then winetpg. - o*.tbe of toe Hoy Member for Abertleee, last year, a volu minous account of the expenditure of the Foreign Missions was granted by the Noble Marquess who was the /treater:tor of the Right lion, Gentleman, and who conbl net be suspected to be at all disposed to commit hintseit by any information he would give his (Mr. Lentord's) side of the House. The Honourable Mem ber t i lten read part of the accounts presented last year, oid 'aid he should regret if the Right Honour able kvcretary for the Foreign Department should avail himself of the power he possessed, to deprive the House of the intone - of inquiry. Some reduction, he under stood, haul been made in the extravagant expenses of the Missiun to the Swiss Cantons, in consterence of the inquiry of last year. That proved the utility of entertaining the question again. Could any one believe don gross job (hear, hear,) would he abolished had it not been for the exposure it met with in that House? It was his intention, hereafter, to submit a motion to the House, for a considerable redaction in the expen diture of the Foreign Mission', but those papers were n ecessary to that 'notion. The Honourable Member concluded by moving, " Tlat an humble Address he presented to his Majesty. that tie will be graciously pleased to direct that there he laid before the House an a::ronnt of the redectiona made since the 2d of Alay, 1512. in the expenditure of the third class of the Civil Li-t, stating how the diminution, if any, was made, dis tinguishing whether in number of persons employed, or by an alteration in their rank." Mr. Secretary CANNING said that he wished to state the grounds on which he resisted the motion of the Hon. Gentleman. The Hon.4lllol)emau had himself admitted that any savings that were dude in the child class of the Civil List were to he added to the Consolidated Fund. The Hon. Gentleman was aware that an account of the savings could, therefore, be found in the statements of the Consolidated Fund, and also the application of those savings. No saving could be made until the arrange ments on which those reductions depended were carried into effect. He granted the right of Parliameut to con troul and watch over the expenditure of the public mo ney by the Crown. But they would not make a wise use of that discretion by always calling on the Crown to show how every item of the money grunted in the Civil List was applie or by putting themselves in the place of the - Executive Alovernment, and exercisiog at every nutmeat that rontronl which they certainly haul. 'rhe, Hon. Member besides imputed no blame—indeed, he rather imputed it as a miracle, to those who were able to effect any saving. it was not usual with Parliament to call for accounts of the Civil List when no abuse or extra• vagance could he imputed. Ile had no objection to tell the Hon. alember that a change had been contemplated in* two or three foreign tali sions, and that the persons who were to succeed to the present Ministers were to go oat with only beg the character and rank. He had no objection to give that information, but lie would oppose the call by Address for the details of the savings effected in that part of the expenditure, which was peculiarly under .the management of the Crown. if there were any abase shown to exist, or if there were any mismanage pent or corruption proved or admitted, then, indeed, the lion. Member wenld have a right to call on the House to institute an inquiry. Bat in the absence of say charge of that nature, lie would oppose the call for those ac comas, and he thought he opposed it with a good grace. when the Hon. Member hints& imputed no blame. tie opposed it, besides, on the general principle, that it was not usual with Parliament to interfere witlf‘the expendi ture of s. Department, the conteoul and manageine it of which was the acknowledged prerogative of the Croon, unless abase was shewn to exist. The Hon. Member -id he (Mr. C.) therefore called I - motion for an Ad. the general Portia ith the prerogative, necessity.was made out. he accounts be desired hoped the House Would He objected to Crown is every In. \ + 447 • 7. .t • \4l/4 I k: ._~ _- .. t . stance, to ;ender an account of every appointment which it made. • Lord JOHN RIISSEJ.L.said that the Right •Hes. Gentleman, by refusing the motion. was narrowiag ;.,the means of information, and the House, iii agreeisg with the Right Hon. tientletuan, would act iuconsist rutty with itself. In support of the motion, he called 1 the attention of the House to the Returns laid on the. table of the House last year. Th 4 Right Hon. Gentl e. man said it was not usual oi make those Returns, unless blame was imputed, or abuse shown to exist ; but Mt Noble Marquess who filled the office which was in pew session of the Right Honourable Gentleman, granted papers last year without any such imputation. la the motion of last year, reference was then made to the then recent appointment of Mr. Henry W. W. Wynn, sod there was no objection on that account to accede to t motion. If the House refused the present motion, they would refuse one similar to that to which they agreed last year. He was glad to hear that the Minister Piet& potentiary to Switzerland was to be reduced to half that rank. Although the motion of last year bad but a bad division (he meant by that a small minority), yet be was glad that a reduction followed in consequence of that.di vision ; so that even small minorities were not wittiest effect: Air. HUME said that be hoped the Right Hop. Gentmi would withdraw his opposition to the motion. Last year the House was furnished with a statement of the expend-1 tore in that class of the Civil List, from the year 1793 tel .1821, both included. distinguishing the various mission the rank of the Ministers, and their salaries end otherex penses. All that his Hon. Friend wanted at present w what alterations were made since? If the Right Hoe.o refused that information, bow could they none prepared t discuss the motion which his Hon. Friend intended to su mit? Suppose We lion. Friend should, in his statemen notice the expenditure of 19,0001. in the mission to Flo rence, the Right lion. Gent. might taunt him with misrepre: sentation, and-esy that was an unfounded allegation, for at alterittion was made in that mission. The expenditure of that clatwof the Civil List was beyond all moderation :—IC the year 1818, we paid 257,000 i. in 1819, it rose to 325,0001. i in 1820, it was 289,000 f. and in 1821, it was 299,41571 whoa.' we had the whole charge of that class of expenditure o; the House, it would exceed the sum of 300,0001. H e t at. p e aled to the candour of the Righ t lion. Gent. to put Mb House in possession of those papers for which his Howl Friend called. Mr. HIJSKISSON opposed the motion. The Piptieg.'l, ri were granted last year, for reasons very diff erent f , those which influenced the Hon. Gentleman , w ho avow that his object was to let P arliament see how far a a - ing ought to be effected in tke expenditure. The p ciple which ought to govern the jiouse in those veers was laid down by Mr. Fox, an authority that the Han. Member fur Aberdeen would acknowledge. Mr. Fox laid down, that the Civil List ought not to be made aim subject of inquiry in th at !louse, unless abuse was proqd, or unless there wai a call on the House to provide r the payment of the debts of the Crown, by making an addition to the Civil List. it was not within the proper province of the House of Commons to inquire how such ought to be allowed to our Minister at Florence, or at anv other Court, while the Crown confined its es palms within the Civil List allowed it by that House. Podia; meta had no right to inquire. He maintained thatun- , less a case was made out of gross abuse in the applio talon of any . part of the money granted on account of the Civil List, the House had no right to inquire. -Tie' object of the Hon. Member's motion was the very strong est reason why the House should not yield to the prosier, Lion of the account. His object was not to ampute blame, but to determine by the authority of that Hoirila• bow much ought to he granted to each facelift **in. If there were to a pplication to htereel w theTivilllist„ then indeed accounts of the expenditure in every class of that list might, with propriety, be called for. The Hon. Member for Aberdeen, in his statement of the trove ex penditure of the foreign missions, bad confoinoled two things that were as different as possible—namely, the salaries of the Ministers to foreign Courts and the con tingencies of that class. The House was entitled to call for the latter, because that sort of expenditure was a matter for the cognizance of Parliament. The Ministers of this country were exposed to greater expenses than the foreign missions of other countries, and yet he found that time expense of the foreign missions of France for the last year, was between seven and eight millions of byres; that lie knew, for he had taken the trouble to look into it, and ascertain the fact. He opposed the taotios on the grounds, that the inquiry was intended to decide what persons should he in future sent on foreign missions, and what should be the allowance to them. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT said be was glad to hear the name of Mr. Fox cited as authority by the Right Hon. Gentleman on the Treasury Bench. It was said that a prophet had no influence in his own country. lie might mention, as a parallel maxim, that a great man was not acknowledged while living ; it was alter his death that lie began to be respected. So it was with the name of Mr. Foc, whose authority was quoted, from the other side of the House, for any purpose they pleased. Bat he was certain that Mr. Fox never maintained any sneh doc trine as was imputed to him. lie had no doubt. indeed, but Mr. Fox, at a time when charges of extravagance in the personal expenses of members of the Royal Family were made in that House, did lay down that it was not usual to bring under the v iew of Parliament the personal expenses of the Crown or the Members of the Royal Fa mily. It ow the duty of that House to s ee how the mo ney granter olittni Civil List was expended. It was ra ther singular that the case of France should be instants ed, as if a sympathy existed between the Governments of F r ance and England (hear, bear) to be extravagant in those missions, and to palliate them by referring one to the other. When this country, however, had no longer any influence with foreign Courts(hear, hear), notwith standing all Ali* extravagance, that was no time to main tain that Parliament had no right to inqnire into the mode in which the money was applied.—(llcar, bear.) — But it was net stated, on the other side, that any incon venience would arise from granting the atenuets - called for. That was a department of the Civil List in which the House bad an interest, because all the savings effect ed in it were to go to the account of the Consofidated Fund. lie was not by any means satisfied to find the prerogative of the Crown pleaded in answer to every claim for saving, which the circumstances of the country required. This prerogative was brought forward on all occasions when Parliament was called upon to its duty. He saw many reasons for supporting the motion, and he ho the House ! benches, tbe subservient ever hint artfro the Ministeria o l or abandon it s palpa ble du ty on the present occasion. Mr. LP:SNARL) briefly replied. He trusted that the House would not abandon the principle which it had agreed to in the last Session. With regard to the obser vations of the Hon. Member for Harwich, he did not mean to treat him with any disrespect, hut he really was obliged to say, that he did not think he had read the pa rrs in question before he got up to address the House. tie begged pardon for the mistake he made in alluding to the Hon. Member for Harwich ; it was the Hon.', Member for Liverpool that be intended to speck of. In the present overwhelming state of distress, the country bad a claim to reduction of every kind, mid there was a fair occuaisio to effect a saving in Ow third class of the Civil List. It reduction hail been made, he asked to see an official account of them, if it were only to save himself from accusations of ignorance diereafter. His motion was similar to that of Is2l, and as he could not anticipate any good result from withdrawing it to sub stitute one of the same nature of last year, he wont persevere in pressing it to a division. The gallery was then cleared for a division o—i Ayes I 24;—Noes 50 I —Majority against the motion Iki. • (for the remainder 91 Debuts see last page.) . 4 ‘1.•..0 & ersey. •.• ° 9 ;. 1 .. • 1..... .

However, *it is by no means to be regretted. The , more money they spend the better. They have been' ftif enabled to spend it by those who will until) , lose their, estates as a sellable punishment.

This money is paid by the cotilbittity at WO 1 and it is expended foe . the sake of preserving mere sports ; and sports, too, confined exclusive? to a very small portion of that com -111 munity. There was last night, a Bill brought in by a Mr. Cotters. read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time oo Monday the 14th of April " to increase " the power of Magistrates in all cases of apprentice. " ships." This Bill ought to be narrowly attended to. More or less of this increasing the power of Magistrates is constantly going on every Session of Parliament. The laws of the country are thus constantly changing from harder to harder ; from storm try to more summary pu nisliments ; little by little,cases are withdrawn from the Judges, and put into the bands of Justices of the Peace. Scores, nay hundreds of Acts, having this tendency, have been passed since the beginning of the reign of the last King. The Register of next Saturday will contain a remarkable and terriblelinstsuce of this. We know of no more laudable undertaking than it would be for someone to sit down and go through the whole of the laws passed within the last sixty years, and partiaularly within the last thirty, increasing the powers of Magistrates. The laws of England, have, it would be foiind, undergone a complete change. It would be found that the whole thing has been changed. Whether we are to expect that the Caine Law Committee will set an example fur a retrograde movement is more than we can say. The bow seems to have been strained a little too tight in that particular. However, we have no reliance upon any thing but our old and excellent friend, the DEBT, to brine us back again to what were the Laws of England. That blessed DEBT is our only hope. There was a little questioning again last night; and not of so very friendly a description as the questioning of Mr. Hewn:Ham and Sir J sMits MACKINTOSH. Lord JoaN RUSSELL asked Mr. CANNING whether there were "any treaties by which. " this Country guaranteed the Throne of France to Louie XVIII. led Ais Successors." . "This was, just at this moment, rather a pinching question. The Mania: Chronicle Shield bearing Secretary answered that there existed a stipulation, " which any attempt made to re " sume the Crown of France by any of the family of " the late Usurper, was to be resisted by all the " great Powers of Europe ;, and another stipulation, " that if say Rebellion breaks out in France, " Austria, Russia, and England agree to counsel " and concert measures for repressing it." That was all he said! And enough too, most people will think. — Lord John observed that the present invasion of Spain by Prance ougbfto release us from these stipulations.— Mr..casiNttso declined all argument at present. Bit a very pretty picture does this thing now exhibit, let them torn it or hoist it ~which way you will. Here are we guaranteeing the Throne of France to the Bourbons, not only against all rivals to the Throne.; but against what may possibly he the will of their own subjects. — Ho wever, here, as every where else the blessed DEBT comes and interposes its salutary influence. Here is guarantee for guarantee: our pretty gentletnen guarantee the Throne of France It., the Bourbons; and the Jews and Jobbers guarantee the Debt to those sensible Landlords who sup- ported our pretty gentlemen, in their guaranteeing of the Throne of Freuce t o the Bourbons!
