; (By Mr I'm .t • y *ftas'o ) storation of such arms to their ►ight owners, for as it would fall to the ha of persons in lower situations in life to seise such arms, it was at that the owners should have recourse to a proper remedy for their recovery. Mr. FOSTER thought the means proposed by the Right Hon. Baronet were inapplicable in the case of a disturbed district. \V. en restored in F ich distri3s, they would be liable to be seized on again by the rebels : and if the Magistrates should be bound to send these arms to be deposited in some distant part of the county, an expense would be in curred, without any provision being made who was to pay such expense. It was impraihcable that an salon at law could be brought against the Justices. under such circumstances. On these grounds he should vote against the clause now proposed. Sir JOHN NEWPOR I' declared he saw no dif ficulty in the case. It would rest with the Special Sessions to appoint particular Oases where arms were to be deposited ; and. wherever the subje.t was to be protested in the delivery and restoration of what was taken from him. he thought every fa cility ought to be given him. Mr. FOS rElt explained. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER objetted to the clause prop•sed; for if arms were to be carried to a depot, 50 or SO miles off, and is a disturbed County, there would be great danger of their being talk.* away from the owner, and those who had charge of them, by the rebels. The clans, was then put and negatived. On the question that the Bill, with amendment, be engrossed, Sir JOHN NEWPORT moved, That the words " two years." fixed for the duration. shonlal be left out. for the purpose of substituting the words " one year." The SPEAKER informed the Hon. Barone'. that it was too late for him to move this amend ment, in the present stage of the Bill, and that it must now be postponed to the third reading. The Bill was then ordered to be read a third time on Monday next. if then engrossed. Sir J. NEWPOR 1' moved, •' That the Bill, as *mended, he print's! " Sir A. WELLESLEY dn•thied whether the Bill 0111 1 4 be printed b:tore Mon,lay. He had no ob itSinn to the printing, provided there was no delay beyond Monday.—The Bill was ;hen orderd to he printed. Sir JOHN NEWPOR said, he should take the sense of the House as to the third reading, pro- vided the Bill was not prated on Monday. Mr. Foster brought oF the report en the 80, granting certain duties on calico And cotton goods Imported into the two countries, between Great Bri tain and Ireland. Sir JOHN NEWPORT considered the Bill to be of too great importance to be discussed in so thin a House. He therefore moved, dr That th House be counted;' which beinz dine. and there not being a sufficient camber of m- n')ers present to constitute a H•.ose, sr oiri.rnent immediately took place. .41(1/CLE A-LA•\MODL Of MINISTERIAL PRINTS. Five thousand men of the Gerniao L-Rion have landed on the Isle of Rugen. and the star of NA POLEON already bzgias to turn pale. B•stanaat comes forth lilt a buxom widsw just freed from an Imbecile and drivelling husband, fire is ha eye, and health mantling upon her y authfal and a vigorous Lord new sways her affedions, and all around is l.appin. u and joy .--.:'.ongiatul :tor/ ad dresses tour in from every quir.er, u,..va the pro pitious change that has takln place in her af fairs, and the memory of the late fi•l:n:nittration is every where loaded with reproach and execration. But the disappointed place-hunters of the accursed faftion that has plunged the country into ruin, and lauded it with disgrace, are blind to this bea•stitul new order of things ; to use the war Is of a cele brated Roman Historian—" to this palmy state of national d'gnity and grandeur." Same of tbein aired to decry the expedition to Stralsund, as an idle expense, and unprofi:ahle speculation. Others, in answer to the justly-merited execrations of the Country—tar the curses 0 not loud but deep" that universally attend them—say. " We were dis missed from office in February last, and we had no opportunity of sending out an expe dition, unless you would have us send out an expeJiti•.n in the middle of winter."—Shallow pretence. vain artifice of eld the Taktds—To be sure we would. Why n st send out an rape d:iion in the month of February, as well as in the month of July ? Had they not transports, and had they not soldiers? Are there not winds, and are there not waves to waft them ? Aye, are there not snore winds and more waves in winter than in sum mer ? in February than in July ? But no ! no ! no ! no I an expedition to Stralsund would not suit the cold economy that sent 80,0;01. to the King of NOWA for the deliverance of Europe. They pre ferred to have our transports rotting in our parts ; they preferred the destruction of the shipping in. terest ; by the bye, a word in our next upon the shipping interest and the navigation laws t they preferred alas to have out soldiers lounging about the country, rather than have them gathering laurels upon the barren sands of Stralsund. Would you have an expedition in winter ? The gentle Lord Howtct, calm soul, would not have a ship uil, unless the sea was as smooth as his unrnelld temper ; how tender be is of the lives of those brave fellows who have no fear nor feeling for tt...mselves. And yet do net Teets go and come to and from England in all weathers and at all seams? Are not fleets, laden with all the riches of the four quarters ~, 1 of the Globe, with the costliest silks and spices of 1 the East, with the strongest spirits and sweetest sugars of the West, at sea in winter as well as in summer? If our memory deceive us not, there is an instance of the China fleet being safe at sea in the month of December ; but All the talents , good-natured souls, they would not send an expe dition to sea in winter. No ! no! no ! But do they not know that there are nn gag rs and pledges a against wind and weather, at any season of the ; year? Who ever heard of the winds being bound i over in a Court of Justice to keep the peace in i stammer, and that they might run riot and wild I over the world, as over a waste common, in winter ? , Wait for summer? This policy might pass with a lady of fashion meditating a Pe chanteetre ; but for a Minister of England, planning a campaign, to take the weather into account, it the very height of absurdity. Oh! these wind and tide waiters thank H—v—n we have got rid of them ? They had time to bring in laws for the amelioration of the cons i t::!n4 of the poor in England, for extending the trial of dury•tri Scotland, for harmoaisinv 1 , -:_ land; but they had no time :.77 "° 4 " 6 "7,;; they had no time fur sending our troops and our money OW 01 the country. no mucs fur the time ; now kr the means. We will suppose, for the sake of argument, :nit the weather was adverse to an ex pedition in February. It cannot be grid, that 4U Ike relents, wanted means. Money, the sinews of war, they pinsessed in abundance.— Do they deny it? No! nr! no! they date no' deny it Ask the Gen:letnen of the S ock Exchange, ask the Cnntrantort for the lo•- tery, if cash was ewer more plenty ?—but if cash was scarce. will they say we had no B..nk Notes ? Ant the Governor of the Batik ; ask M r Ratites; a'k every Direetor, whether there was a scarcity of that article ? To go one step fun: er, if both cash and notes were scarce, was ti.ere no bullion, and was there no p +pet ? was there no mint in the tower, nn mill in Bucks? No I no ! no 1— They might have as much money and Bank Note: as they pleased; and yet, watts all this su i .e:fiinty of wealth, with the Incom • Tax raised to 101. per cent. they di.: oat even send a subside to the Con tinent; for it is i I. t, Chit the pitta ce of i 0,0031. to Prussia, was a I..an. 8.1,0001. t s Pruss a!! l'he Marquis of 131::: it tmon a se. one of the GSCII viLLes, receives as nricil annualy.

Aye, what would have become of the Constitution ? j Let the gentle Lord Einwica look to this, he that is the professed friend of the Liberty of the Press— ' the renowned Champion of Parliamentary Reform. N o ! no! no ! the metming of the public money is money fur„pnhlia use, and it ought not to be locked up from the public. To use a sublime and beautiful metaphor of the Right Hon. G. Ros r —"there ought : net to be more teats than mouths," We want no dry nurses in the Treasary. We have shewn that ! the late Ministers were without excuse for not send -1 ing out an expedition in February ; that they had i men, money, transports, wind and waves It now lonly remains for us to shew that they had an objetft, and then to• consign All the Tuients to everlasting disgrace. When Stralsund was first mentioned, all the Prints in the conide.s.ce of the Minister, deprecated Stralsund—we said any place but Stralsund; but we now say Stralsund is of all • ; other places the best, and for this reason : The 1 King of SWEDEN had then Prussia and Russia to 1 assist him, but now he has neither. They have • both mad.: peace—of course our assistance is more necessary than ever. But whence the necessity of., I any pred.nermicel objes9 ? Does it not increase the j 1 chance of disappointment ? For, as we have be fore said, who can answer for the winds and the waves ?
