Do the third reading sit the Mutiny Hill, The Earl tiHOSVENOR objected to the amount of the force with which the (-wintry was burdened, hut he did not mean to oppose the Hill in the present stole lit the public business, and looking to the understood near approach of a dissolution. He could not, however, look with any satisfaction at the termination of the present , Parliament, wheu hr redeet.-d upon the various %urea that might hair been taken into consider:l'Mo with advantage to the public• hut which would he in• terrupteil by the dissolution ; and when he considered also that there was in reality nothing, so far as be could understand, that :well have orevented the Session from being carried on to its tuna) termination. Amongst the important questions which (meta to have been taken into consideration and determined upon, was the Civil List; instead of whirls, the dignity of the Crown was actually left without any provision for its support. Con nected with this siihjeet there ens also another import ant worst' relative to the situation of the 114nren; which, whenever it slid come under consideration, he shotthi discuss with the utmost freedom. Hr putt it to the Noble Lords opposite, whether they might not, be fore dissolving the present Parliament, to hare consi dered whether they could not bare brought for ward some snounre for the amelioration of the con d ition ut the people: It condi not be denied that notch discon tent and irritated feeling prevailed amongst the prop's. not only here, limit in foreign countries; and when they beard of the assassination of the Doke de Berri in France, and of the atrocious conspiracy herr, white have for its °Nevi the . 'nation of Isis Ma joity's-alissis•eva, by • -leant of drspermiama, there he no doubt of the estistenre of an highly irritated Onto, of feeling. It was, however, for his Majesty's Ministers onions)) to consider whether the measures they haul nut long since carried through Parliament, had nut bad a* effect which iv.is predicted hum them hr some of his Noble Friemla--that «financing men who were sloprivrol of the privilege of openly meeting, to afsoriate in secr..t cabals, leading to the intuit mischievous ronaequelices? It hail beep precisely so in France, where, whilst a li beral system prevailed in the liovernment, there was a fre!ing of satisfartion on the part of the people; but when a disposition was eating-v(1 of resorting to harsh and arhitrarc measures, then followed a highly irritated state of plait: fediii,.;,and an atrocious assassination. And it was fur his Alajesty's Ministers to consider vrhe-, then the harsh measures they had resorted to, nnaccom patties' by any manifestation of a desire to alleviate the discontents of the people, had not a tendency to excite to Kelso( assassination. The pearl of LAUDRIUMLE spoke to order, observ ing, that it was highly improper to charge any body of men, whether on the Ministerial or Opposition side of the House, with conduct that tended to excite to ASS.III. Si nation. The Earl GROSVENOR disclaimed the slightest in tention of imputing to any persona conduct that tended to excite to assassination ; lie only meant to dwell upon the expeliency of resorting to such measures as might tend to alleviate the discontent of the people; he dill not mean that any effort should hr made to satisfy wtettlies who conspired assassination, hit that conduct should be pursued to conciiiate a considerable port of the. people who were suffering under distress, arising from the great pressure of taxation. The present period was one of eery general irritation—great discontent prevailed in Sp.sM, owing to the bad system of the Government—in France—in Germany—and in the north of Italy, lint it was surely incumbent upln all Govern:nrnts to :Mop, every practicable measure to conciliate the people, to soothe irritation, and as far as possible to allay discon tent. After some further observations, his Lordship tut down, declining any opposition to the Bill under present circumstance.. The Karl of LAUDERDALE, expressed his satisfar lion that his \tttle Friend had dist:l:rinsed all intention of imputing, in that Henne, condom tending► to eteite to assassination, which interpretation wane of his lan guAgr .rrwurd to hear. The Bill was read a third time and passed; as were also the Expiring Laws Bill, and the Local Jurisdictions Bill. - Lord Viscount SIDMOUTH liNI npon the table a Return, in pursuance of motion, stating that no ellen had been granted in rever4ion by any of the Judges, ke.; and :Lbw two Returns respecting the state of the Hulks.—Ordered to be printed.

The sfargnis of LANSDOWN ad►erted to the Act of Parliament for appointing a Mixed CommiAsioe to act at Sierra Leone, for the purpose of adjudicating the cases ' of ►essels captured for carrying on the Sla►e Trade; and wished to be informed whether that Nixed Casimir sion ws now in operation at Sierra Leone ? The Earl BATIIURST said, as we understood, that the Mixed Commission bad been completed by Sgmin and the Netherlands, but that a Commissioner btu sot been appointed by PortugaL This case had not bees anticipated in the Treaty, but by means of an under standing the Commission was in operation, and a ►essel had actually been adjudicated. The Marquis of LANSDOWN was aware that an ad judication had taken place, but it was of a Dutch ►eseel. li e wished still to be informed, whether the Portuguese t:oinnsission was in operation, as, if sot, there would u nder the Treaty be a compensation to - be paid for the The Earl of in' it\ .1 it 1•t t\ !hen addressed the ffittis• on :he subject of the Bill.
