I"' =EP" — • terity• speak of the decisions of Sir We.. Scott, W • - "IL in protecting our rights at a belligerent, fi xed the duties of a neutral State, and by his decisions we shall measure our conduct. in coming now to speak of our medi ation, I must observe that something had been said ag a inst • us, because we had asked something like what one of the parties had demanded. But France and Spain stood to wards each other in a very particular relation, without any external cause of quarrel. The complaint of France against Spain was, that her internal state was one which caus ed to France great dia4uietude and alarm, while, on the other band, Spain complained that the French Army of Observation produced all the disorders in Spain of which France complained. Here then were the two point' of Oispute ; France wanted to insure tranquillity in Spain, and Spain wanted the Army of Observation withdrawn, but France could not withdraw this army unless something were done to promote the tranquillity of Spain. Between these two parties we were called on to strike the balance. In doing this we did not act more against Spain in recommending moderation, than against France in recommending her to withdraw her army. The point was to recommend something which should give secu ti yto both; and it was impossible to negotiate in such a state of things, without recommending some regulations, though that recommendation was unaccompanied by any thing like a threat or a menace. On this point I may proba bly anticipate some little difference'ef opinion ; but I should have had myself to blame had I not risked that chance for the preservation of peace. The Spanish Government was also distinctly told, that our interference was not accompa nied with any proooise . of support, and certainly not with a degree of support extending even to making war. This is not that we feel indifferent for the fate of Spain ; we hope Cam she may come tr:oruphant out of her struggle (cheers), and we have no doubt that the first issue of liar success would be, to adept that very change we had recommended as a means of avoiding risk and confusion. Whether Spain or France shall he successful, I shall alwayt be proud to recollect, that if Spain had receded what had taken place would have been avoided, and I should now have had to congratulate the House on the continuance of peace. (The Bight Hon. Gent. sat down amidst loud cheers.) Mr. BROUGHAM rose, and in a speech of which we regret we cannot give even an outline, stated the rea sons why se great an abstinence relative to the enhject had been observed on his aide the house. With respect to tl e at itement of the Right Hon. Gentleman, he said he had listened with all the attention lie was master of, without having been able to discover what was the course Government bad pursued. He could see plain enough that the line of neutrality was that in which it was their in tention, to walk for the future; but lie could oot learn what had been done, or what had been the effect of what was done at Verona and elsewhere. He had witnessed with surprize the light and easy manner in which the Right Hon. Gent. had gone over that part of his case which related to Verona. All that they heard of it was, that the Duke of Wellington went to Paris to renew the remonstrances he had made at Verona ; but what these h ere, he repeated, was no where to be found in the speech they had heard—that omission formed • perfect and vmarkable hiatei in the discourse of that Hight Hon. Geitleman. He hoped, therefore, that the papers presented to them could shew something beyond vague generalities. and expressions of good-will to the Spanish cause.—(Hear, hear.) He trusted that they would there find the record of some strong remon strances against the invasion of Spain. He did not mean to say, that a menace ought to be held out.— That had been blown up by the Right Honourable Gen tleumn ; 'though he could not admit that any one on his side of the House had ever in his hearing ad vocated bolding out a threat not meaning to fulfil it. The Learned Gentleman then reviewed the state ment of the Right Hon. Secretary, and the conduct of France ; and in the close of his speech, observed be had beard the Right Hon. Gentleman say with pleasure that the war of the Bourbons Vas not only unjust, bat desperate. He would newer allow himself to despair so' long as the spirit of freedom circulated amongst them. Not even though the orator had begged them to yield, .and that veteran warrior the' Duke d'Angouleme— (a laugh)—had laid his hand on the hilt 'of Mr sword, would he despair. Tbeir business was with their' Constituents, whom be believed to be *Manatee to a man in the cause of Spain. Having offered up one vow fur the defeat of the Bourbons, be would pat' np another for their condign punishment—a consumma tion which would be witnessed h all with the greatest delight.—(Hear, hear, hear.) 'the total destruction of power would be onregretted by any but those whose places were concerned, and no hand would be found again to restore them he might Vnture to predict. Thee papers would, however, leave the nation either with feelings of bitter disappointment after their hopes Lad been raised, or of tore humiliation.—[The Hon and Learned Gentleman sat down amidst loud and con tinued cheering,] After Mr. Canning had explained that he did not cheese terise the war as a desperate enterprlze on the part of France. as to the chances of success, but only as pregnant with danger to that and other countries, Mr. Brougham ex plainer!, and Mr. Canning shortly replied. The pa,.ers were then laid on the table. On the motion that the Report on the Naval and Mi litary Pensions' Bill be brought up. Mr. MIEN PELL moved that it be brought up that • day six months. After some discussion a division took place. . Ayes, 153—Noes, S7—Majority for the Bill, 46. The Report was then brought up and laid on the table The House then proceeded to discuss the. Irish Ali s cellaneous Estimates, and several of the grants were • , agreed to.—'flie Report ordered to be brought op to morrow. , Adjourned at twelve o'cloek. LOSS.OF THE ALERT PACKET. It is very singular that no omelet assountof the verdict YOurned on the Inquest has been publishedo—(Courier.) 'We (Plana Morning Pod) are enabled, fee believe, to 4: spinin the ,cause of the verdict in the above melancholy ease not being yet made public. The verditi, with the evi• dente taken on the inquest, was transreittstrto the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with an accompanying document signed by all the Jurors, in which they prayed the Imerferme of Government to prevent the recurrence of ea _ isalties of a similar kind. They recommend that oo vessels abbuld be permitted to engage in the passage trade to Liver pool, of a burden under one hundred lox • ; and that the number of passengers should be limited to three for every two tons of burden ; and further, that boats should be kept on board. not less than 16, or more than $0 feet long, of sufficient capacity to receive on board all tbeyassengers in cue of any sudden accident. Mr. Peel answered the letter immediately. sod expressed his intention of transmitting the necessary information on the 'skied, ta Mr.Goulburn, that such measures may be taken at this, part to Government might dew it expedient or proper to recommend. 3.

Last night the Papers relatire tty the late Negotiations with France, touching the affairs of Spain, were, by order of the KINO, laid before the two Houses of Parliament. But, before I proceed further with this subject, 14 me notice. or rather insert, a Petition presented from Sir CHARLES WOLESLEY, by Mr. HUAIE, of which Petition the following is a copy; and very well worthy it is of the public attention. TO THE HONOURABLE THE COMMONS OF THE UNITED KING DOM OT GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND, IN PARLIAMENT . ASSEMBLED. The Petition of Sir Charles Wolseley, of th. County of Stafford, Most humbly sheweth. That your Petitioner i's a proprietor and occupier of land in the parish of Colwich, in the county aforesaid, in which parish he has several farms let out to tenants ; that John Pitchford is the Vicar of the said parish of Colwich ; that said Pitchford was inducted into the said vicarage about fourteen years ago ; that he immediately raised his annual demand for tithes to three times the amount of what had been paid to the late Vicar; that said Pitchford, so far from lowering the price of his tithes with the fall in the price of produce, has continued, upon any change of occupant, to raise the price of his tithes, even up to the present time. That your Petitioner, finding the said Pitchford proceed ing in this way, gave him notice to take his tithes in kind, beginning at Lady-day just past; that a few days previous to that time, your Petitioner applied to the said Vicar to know whether he would come to some arrangement on the subject; but that this Pastor of your Petitioner answered the application by referring your Petitioner to his, the Pas tor's, Attorney, ordering your Petitioner, at the same time, to set out his tithes. That, at this time of the year, milk is the only article the tithe of which can be set out ; that tale law, or custom, al lots to the tithe-owner, not the tenth part of the milk of each milking, or of each day, but all the milk of every tenth day ; that many of the cows of your Petitioner's tenants have calves; that your Petitioner adVised his tenants to let the calves suck their fill on the tenth days, and then to milk out the remainder of the milk and render it to the said Vicar; but that the said Vicar has insisted upon having all the milk of the tenth day, to tlieutter exclusion and deprivation of the calves ; and, the Attorney of the said Pitchford, has in formed your Petitioner, that, in case any of the milk be given for the calves on the said tenth days, the said Pitch ford will proceed against the parties in the Court which is the most expensive. That, thus, if such be the law of tithes in this now un happy country, the calves of your Petitioner's tenants mast go without food during every tenth twenty-four hours, to the great deterioration of inch calves, and the great Injury of the said tenants. That the burden sod vexation of tithes form one of the great causes of Agricultural distress in England, while the absence of tithes in France is one of the great causes of that prosperity there, which makes it impossible for English agriculture to carry on a competition against that of France; and that, therefore, your Petitioner, who has seen your Ho nourable House vote, during the last thirty years, so many hundreds of millions of English money to carry on a war for the restoration of the Bourbons,most ardently hopes, and most humbly . prays, that your Ilonourable House will, in your great justice and wisdom, be pleased so to alter the ' laws with regard to tithes, that the people of England may, In this one respect, at any rate, be as free and as happy as the subjects of the said Bourbons. And pour Petitioner will ever pray, CHARLES WOLSELEY. Only think of the Parson insisting upon having the whole of the milk, and making the calves fast fur the twenty-four hours! Upon the face of the earth there is not such another set of men as this. Sir CHARLES %VOLUM( did well to remind the Collective of the hap piness of the French people in this respect. It was mpoted as a crime to Sir CHARLES, when be was - - - tried before WARRIN at Chester, that he (Sir Charles,' bad boasted of having been present at the demolition of th e Bastile in Paris. That was, nevertheless, a thing to boast of. That was the signal for the real Revolution of Frame; and to that Revolution the French people owe the absence of Tithes, and all those other circumstances which makes them so much better off than the people of England are. Sia Commas reminded the Collective of ' the many hundreds of millions of English money that it 'bad voted away in order to get the Bourbons placed again upon the Thrones of France; and it does seem bard, if the Collective will not endeavour to make the people of England, in this ono respect at any rate, as free and as happy as the people of France., To return now to the Papers before mentioned, they are great in bulk. They woad require more time to read than we can possibly have this morning. The de bates on them, or rather, the speeches of the Ministers contain .r(i much matter, and that matter of too much impor once, to be noticed in any thing like detail in a commentary like this. 1 must, therefore, content myself with it mere description of the sort of speeches that were made apon this occaston.TheParue Minima was doing in the House of Lords, what Mr... Comm was doing in the House of Commons, at the same moment. They laid the Papers upon the 'fable, and made a speech in ex planation of their conduct. The motion of each of them was for permission to lay the Papers upon the Table ; and the object of the Speech of each was to smooth over the intolerable disgrace; I may say the everlasting infa my now brought upon. England.— I n the House of Lords, LORD GRIM and LORD KING. LORD GRRT expressed his disapprobation of the conduct of the filinisters ; and Loan KING raid that the Prime Minister had duped him self: • His Lordship might have put the alternative; namely, that. if the Ministers were not dupes, the earth never before bore upon it such hypocrites.—ln the Honse of Calmness, Mr. Brougham made a speech after • that of .Mr. Canning ; and as far as it went, it was in- most respects,, a very good speech-m- I AL CANNING professed great anger against the French for the invasion of Spain • he spoke in a very friendly tone of the Spaniards ; he expressed hisbope that Spain might come triumphant out of the struggle;' but he iniristed that it was sound policy in the Ministers not logo la War.---Urpon this subject lie oh served, that there were some persons who were of opi nion, that, if we did not actually go to War, we should at, least have menaced France with an inteptiun to do it. Bat be could never. consent to threaten to do that which 'helium - he did not mean to do, or, which he knew lie had soot the power io do. Mr.llllol/GRAIR said that he had never heard of any person to advise the meet' threats ise menaces which we dared not execute. The parties do inft know bow to get on here at all. Mr. Canning dues noltay that he could not have gone to War; and Mr. Brougham does not sarthat he could have gone to War. Mr. Brougham knows that he could not, without the put ting out of Assignats; and Mr. Canning does not say that hecould. The Prime Minister, however, so famous for his 4 * stern path of duty;" dais bold man says, that he should have been able to go to war. Let us take his words: " if either the honour or essential interests of England re " qttired that we should go to War, we have the means " of doing so. I say this not loosely, as many persons " may with truth, presuming that a country like this can " never want the means in case of necessity; I speak " from the positive intelligence which toy situation ena tt bles me to acquire, when I say, that, under su cir " cumstances, I should have no difliculy in finding the " means.'"f he stern path gentleman does not tell us hoe, he could find the means : he does not say that be would not re peal Peel's Bill : he does not say that he would not make two prices in a fortnight : be does not sav, in short, that he would not blow up the whole paper fabric; but little as be does know about any thing, this he does know very well that he must do if he attempted to ge to War.— Strict neutrality is the path we are to march in • and I was particularly struck with the pain: which b oth the Ministers took to prepare us for the humiliation which we are about to 'Mare. Both of them harped upon the words real neutrality. Honest neutrality ; whatever might he the consequence, strict neutrality. Mr. Can- . ning expressly said that we are to t dre the decisions and , doctrines of Air William Scott as the measure of our conduct ! A great deal of pains was taken by both Ministers to prepare us for. such humiliation.; inch kicking.; such cranes on the part .of the French, that we may expect to be as letirretol„; at lest, as the hero mentioned in Heclibras, whose hauriclia' could distin guish the different sorts of. leather ky which they were saluted ! We may prepare ourselves, therefore, for be ing the vilest crowd of seamping traders that Ryer inha bited any part of Europe. Mr. Brougham drew a good picture of the torments of the ship-visiting system ; and he very well rallied the House upon the doctrines of Sir Win. Scott. He clearly antietuated all the disgrace that was about to befall us; but he did not think proper to observe bow melancholy a sight it would be to see all this kicking and curling quietly received by those who, onlyB years ago, tailed themselves the congnerors of France. It is very clear that it is intended to make our merchantmen submit to he searched upon all occasions ; so that we shall not be able to supply the Spaniards with arms; and we shall be able to carry on no trade with them, worth speaking of. This will be a pretty state for the Bourbons to place us in; but it will be precisely the state in which we deserve to be placed. it appears that the other part of the Cabinet, and the greater part of the Ministerial side of the House kept silence, while the op position was cheering what Mr. Canning said against the French and in favour of the Spaniards ; so tnat It world seem that the greater part of the Cabinet does not appear of the Shield-man's " liberal politics." Mr. BROUGHAM ridiculed Mr. CANNING IL good deal on I account of his having been duped by the French Go- Tenement. Is Mr. BROUGHAM quite sure that be hists self is not the dupe of Mr. CANNING now? lie said, at the beginning of his speech, that he was eager to " ssol tiify the country which cannot understand why so " much - abstinence has been practised on this side the " House." Yes, I wish Mr. Brougham would , satisfy ME upon that score. Never mind THE COUNTRY, Mr. BROUGHAM. Satisfy me, if von can; and then I will warrant it you will not have meek to do to sa tisfy the country.—Charity bids me believe, that , abstinence arose from your having been duped; but it does require the whole of the charity which my nature Wards, to make nee believe that such a man could have been, and in so gross a manner, too, duped by a group, composed, in part, of a VANsITTART, a WYNN, sod a Jams:sew. To believe that you could be outwitted by thetn,does require all the charity that I have at my com mand, even when lamin my hest of humours. Dot, if doped then, ought you not to be on your guard now? Ought not you to be careful bow von applaud the Shield gardenia*? Ought you not to be careful how you say What is calculated to make as believe that all this talk of Mr. CANNING'S in favour of Spain and against France comes from the bottom of his heart, and "does "him the .highest honour ?" Is it possible, Mr. BROUGHAM, that there can be any body to make you be lieve that Mr. CANNING and somebody else in the Cabi net are quarrelling every day of their lives; and that this quirrellang may be improved so as to produce a new mo delling of the Cabinet ; do you imagine this to be the ease? if Ton do, it is yon who are the dupe; and no . Mr. Canning, and not his colleagues, and not the French Government ! It requires but a very little of common sense to see with what view this flashy clap-trap lan guage is put forth. It hurts not the Bourbons; and, what is more, it does mot offend them. The reason why it does not offend them might be stated, but the statement might displease Mr. CANNING, and to my readers, it is wholly unnecessary. Give the Spa niards your praise, say the Bourbons ; but give them nothing else; and we are quite sure of the worthlessness of that.—l have not time for further comments on this subject, at present ; but it is a subject, to which I most do justice. That Political Register, which contains so large a portion of the history of the wickedness, the ty ranny, the degrading and enslaving influence of the PITT system; that Register it is that must take this stern-path of duty man, and that must take this child and champion of Anti-Jacobinism, and nail them on upon this pillory erected to England by the Bourbon war. Here we stand while the Bourbons are marching ipto Spain ; here we stand with one hands and our heals through the hole., uttering curses (as in the speech of Mr. Brougham); uttering execrations upon the Bourbens, and _answered by the scorn of the whole world, those Bourbons taking the lead. ' The Paris papers to the 1341 :Olt. wijich have - reached 'us, state that the Duke d'Aogoulersur hail, oh tfie 7th, fixed his head quarters at' Irticlantl that the : Duke of Reggie had advanced to Oyarsatt on the road to Tolosa, and his advanced guard had pushed' forward to Ernani. According to private accounts, the former is expected to i fix his head quarters at Tolosa ; awd after taking St, Se bastian and Tolosa, wait to mei:a/kat effect the news of his invasion will have on' the otter parts of Spain.

In the sitting of the Cortes, on the.2oth, a project of law was 'passed to punish those 'districts which . should join the rebels. • The Deputation who promoted it nest day to the ,King, having explened their regret at the necessity which required it, were sainted by his lifajeity of his unqualified adherence to the constitutional system.
