Mr KENNEDY, Iticeeebly to his motion, moved that a Select Committee be appointed to inquire into the state of tits roads leading front Glasgow to Port Patrick, and to re- j port thereon. The CIIANCFLLOR of the EXCHEQUER recommended economy if the Committee should find it necessary to repair the road. Mr. KENNEDY wades few observations, and the Com mittee was appointed agreeably to the motion. On the motion of SirJOHN NEWPORT, Sir A. Bradley King and W. Stothard, were summoned to attend the House on Monday next, to give evidence on the motion of Sir Freida Burdett relative to Mr. Sheriff Thorpe. MR. GEORE WHITE. Mr. HUME rose. pursuant to his motion, and called for the production of papers relative to the dismissal of Mr. White fromalie situation of tax-gatherer in the Ux- bridge and Kensington districts ; also for the copies of the correspondence between the Board of Taxes and Mr. Sabine, the gentleman holding a situation above that of Mr. White. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, if he unders•cood the motion rightly, it was calling for pa pers which bad been transmitted to and from a district in which the petitioner, Mr. White, had been engaged. The Right Hon. Gentleman contended, that a Board constituted like the Board of Taxes, had an undoubted right to dismiss one of its officers, if they saw sufficient ground so to do. The House should not interfere in oc casions of this nature; if they did, it would make it ex ceedingly inconvenient, rendering Public Boards liable to be called upon to produce documents which might prove injurious. The House would not take away from those bodies the right of dismissing their servants. The Right Hon. Gentleman said he should hay* no objection to giving up the correspondence called for in the latter part of the Hon. Member's motion, provided the Commit tee, after inquiry, should think the petitioner bad been improperly dismissed. Mr, J. CA LCRAN'T observed, that his Hon, Friend (Mr. Hume) had taken up the part of ail injured indivi dual; at least so he understood, but he-knew nothing of him whatever, and as this was a special case,he trusted that the documents demanded would be produced. Mr. CANNING concurred in what his Right lion. Friend, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, had advanced. The first papers called for by the Honourable Member, Mr. Hume, related to the malversation of the petitioner, and there could not be the slightest reason for withhold ing them; but with respect to the second list of (lore went!, the copies M.all the letters and.torrespontienre be tween the, Beard •f Taxes and theaccuser of the petition er, there wan a great objection to their being proinced. But if the Committee should require them after the in. quiry, the papers certainly should be presented. It nas an assumption of the facts as stated by the Hon. Member his moving for the two lists of papers together. But if it should appear to the Coalmine': that the petitioner W A S-111 injured individual, then the second papers might tie demanded. Mr. HUME considered the correspondence highly im portant for the justice of the case. The ground upoa which be called for the correspondence was, that the letters pointed out the fraud. He accused the Board- of Taxes fcr having dismissed Mr. White without a sliffici‘ Flit inquiry ; and lie charged the Treasury and the Goa vernment with a dereliction of their duty. A sum of money, amounting to 2401., had been collected by the Commissioners, a considerable portion of which lead by • . • 4,.. ,• •• • * 5. • • * • eipelded in dinners .and other expenses.

Mr. fIuME n*it moved for a copy of the application made in 1810. by Mr. White, for leave to carry on bosi• nese, independent of his Atereising the duties of a Tax Collector, and the answeroftle Board thereupon.

He had no wish to go much into details upon those pepers;ittit in one or two words would explain his views. krona the general tone of these papers it appeared to him, that the lit. Hon, Gent, opposite had all through the transaction placed themselves more in:the situation of •Allies•of France than as mediators for Spain ;—(hear,)— for there was no difficulty i►n which Prance:was placed, when a difficulty in concealing her real views Oc curred, in wbill an•excuse was not found for her con duct is some of these papers. First; as to the Artny of Ob servation. instead of calling upon France to explain her views distinctly we furnished her with an excuse. In the minute of the Duke of Wellington, lie says, " The origin, circumstances, and consequences of .the Spanish Revolution—tie existing state of affairs in Spain, and the conduct of those who have been at the bead of the Span- ish Government, may have endangered the safety of other, countries, and may have exalted the neleasiness of the Go vernments, whose Ministers I am now addressing;' and those Governments may think it necessary to address the Spanish tiovernntent upon the topics referred. twin these despatches." This wasawri. true; lint why should it be alluded to by as English Minister,at the Congress of Ve rona ?—(bleer.)-a-Nett, as to the ..necessity going to Here; also. waskelpet she lama • eat at the &Hi- Instead of oblignent 11110 a sit elate it once that they made war upon the libertiesof mankind, we lagoon tinily suggested that from the nature of the negociations between France and Spain, it appeared the latter had Wallas encoimerted with any which accrued to her as a Member of the Holy Alliance, and which, if not complied with, would reduce her to the necessity of going to war. He did not find that, before this time, the Fgench them selves 'Ended to any such necessity. The' suo•ge-tion was, therefore, put forth gratuitously. It was founded upon pretests of which toe French themselves were ig norant, for except some inisunalerrandings about the 'sale of males on the frontiers, the French Ministers stated nothing else to justifythein in undertaking alone, the fatal aggression npuu the liberties of Spain.—(War.) The next instance of our partiality was in the construc tion which we put upon the King's Speech. This ;rasa document Open whiCh one collet: think there could be 'little incertitude; bnt his Majesty's Ministers, with great ingenuity, found out that it hail a double mean log, and by torturing one member of it, they affected to explain away the ohjec'iouable parts.—(Cheers.)—The 'nest point in which this same feeling was displayed, was in the reception which the French King's ;lain, of interfer sacs with the internal Government of Spain met with from as. Par the terms in which that claim was conveyed he referred to Chateatibriand's note to Mr. Canning, which ,was received on the 27th of January, " The Comte de is Garde," told " his received orders to communicate sonfirientialy to Sir William A'Court the King's beoevo lent intentions. His Most Christian Majesty demands that his Catholic Majesty should, of himself and by his own authority, apply the necessary modifications to the institutions which hare been imposed on the Crown of spain by the revolt of a few soldiers. The answer was important, from the justification which, on adopting the same views, though in a pacific sense, gave to the aggres sion of the French. This letter was dated Jsn. EKth, and Mr. Canning's words. " We disclaim for ourselves and deny for other Powers the right of requiring any change in the internal institutions of independent States, with the menace of hostile attack in case of refusal. The modem don of such demands in no degree justifies in our eyes such a mode of enforcing them; and this .distliiciiou it Is the more important to keep steadily in view, and to im press Upon the French thivernment et a moment when, for their sake and at their desire. we are suggesting to 1 Spain. in a tone of friendly counsel. alterations similar to those which France is proposing as the alternative of hos tilities. " Here there was an adoption by us of the claims made by the French. and if the alterations were ccupled with the right insisted upon by Louis in the former de spatch, that his brother of Spain should " of himself and by his own authority" make these modifications, it placed our Government in the most unfortunate situation that ever any Government was placed in. —(Loud cheers.)- lie did not believe that the Hight Hoe. tientleman had any derherate intention of furthering the views of France; but looking at the tone of all these papers, it was impos sible for any one to come to any other conclusion, than that he endliimeolleagues viewed the cause of ~noun ry more as their own than that of Spain.—(Hear.) With this observation he should take leave of the Petters. and I I address a word or two to the Holy Ailiance. And be was the mere anxious to state distinctly what his , views with regard to that association now were, in consequence of his on a former occasion, taken a different coarse from that which he was now about to pursue. Tee vote to which he alluded. was one which he gave upon the question of Naples. in the absence of information on the real state .of d.e question, he • (Mr. W.) Coo curred with Ministers in the views which they took of that question; but there never was a step of his lite of which he more repented than having given that y o i e .—(Cheers.) For it how turned out, that the :meet upon Naples was the commencement of the most horri ble system of tyranny and oppression which ever entered the heads of 'Kings or Emperors.—(ilear, hear,) it want system, the ferther extension of whiea most boa fatal to freedom, and -utterly subversive of ' the - rights and m rte. peodence of the world.'

The ques tion was, what attitude this country ought to have assumed in the peculiar situation in which she was placed 9 It was his opinion that she ought to have adopted a manly and energetic tone, and he hoped the inajotiry of the House to-night would he of the same opinion. Unfortunately for Ministers and the country, that tone hail not been assumed .before; hut it was not yet too.late to express our opinions; ' and be hoped the decision of the House would aff.srd tins security to the smaller Powers of &trope which the ac lons of Ministers had failed to give. He was peneaded that, if Ministers had adopted such a tone, they might have accom plished their objects without involving the country in war. 13ut, whatever might be said of the glory of interfering by arras in such a cause. there was no doubt but that it coo . misted with the beat policy of this country now to abstain from hostilities.—(Hear.)

He can- tended that nothing had been done to compromise thsa i honour or character of this country. He referred to the Circular of the lite Marquess of Contlonderry 4 in which this Government distinctly disclaimed all rights of inter ference with other Powell. All the remonstrances were made in the same. tone as this Ckrcular. If this Govern •tnelit had reroorseeto menaces, they coubi not atop there: They could not assume a high dictatorial tone matt - . they ;remit to back it by war. The lion. Member then referred to the speech of the Hon. Member for Caine, (Mr. Macdonald ), protesting against the division which he bad made of the people of Spain. That Hon.. Mem ber bad divided them into two classes, in one of which he • placed sense and talents, and in the other ail the fools and bigots of the country. The Court of 'Curren, on the contrary. stated that the revolutionists were the weaker party, but that they made up fur tbek want of numbers by their activity. the Hon. Member concluded some more observations by voting fa the amendment. Captain MA BERLY said he was inducted to offer him self to the Honsehy a sense of imperious duty. He a - as one of those who felt great dissatisfaction at the conduct .of Ministers at Verona. Thee did not seem, by their acts, to have consulted the honour, character, or dignity of the nation. Neither did they seem to hive consulted its real interests; for, he overfed, that the country was now nearer to war than if a more decisive tone of con dart had been adopted. He Meant to toich brit slightly Atpou the long list of Papers which bad beeri laid npan the table, and which etrahraced• the whose of the negoci 7 ations at Verona. He could not, look upon these, with.; out shame, and he blushed, as an Enelisbman, that an English Minister was not able to flee a stronger express glop in so flagrant a case, than ," that his master deciiii:t ed to interfere." It was, however, gratifyirig to see that no Gentleman in this House had the temerity to rle. fetid that elpression.
