WITH Fleas:cit.—The last papers from New Tork, (Ish *f.'s's% only eight and twenty days back) talk of a treaty being signed betwees Americo and Frames. We have no doubt, that those sprightly gen. tininess that we beep is pay in America, Stratford Canning (who has mere pay that their President); Gibcrt Robertson, Cense at Philadelphia ; James B or heanas, the Andre boom aid peach-tree gentleman, who perishes so sweetly at a lluggletenian chapel, in --- Street, New York; George Aimless, 111W111 The &lyrist. Loudon, aid wow his Majesty's email at Boston: we cam have no doubt, that these able Statesmen, chosen by the great bele-digger...have been able to dive him the mysteries of this treaty between America and Frames. They, of course, able men, will keep their discoveries Amerce. We will venture to guess, however, that this treaty contains, as its principal ob ject, somothiag intended to effect the humbling of this country, to accomplish which the French, who have sot forgotten Nay and the Museum, would make any present sacrifice ; and, we should not at all wonder, if the repeal of the navigation Imes was to prevent being forced to do it! What are we to ceme to? No mat tee; nothing can hese had as Boroughmosgering. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STATESMAN. Ste—lt is about a fortnight ago that I arrived here here New York. Daring the time that I have bon is Ragland, I have been surprised at heariag an Be cause that has been circulated about the son of Doe tor Watson. Bonsai those newspapers in our cony try, which are. as the saying goes, "no better than " they should be." have stated, I have naderstood, in the meet confident meaner. that Dr. Watson's en I has been tried, candenuseel, and I believe, that be has st(fered, for mass ignanniess "fence committed by him is the United States; sad these papers say, I be lieve, that they have the story from one of their bro• ther chips, is America. lam pretty sure that this report is altogether a f►lsehood. 1 have been a resi dent of New York for upwards of four years. and, I can assure you It is almost impossible, from the noto riety that is sate to he gives. is America. to say %Meg like the reality of this tale, that 1 s►ould not have beard *fall the particulars, bad snob a circum stance Uterphit 'ha have bean*. no deck. that Young %Moo, after gaining Ragland, went towards the western part of America, aid settled at a place called Pittsburgh, as a school-master; and, I believe this is w►at be did, for, I have received, while at New York, many accounts of him, and from respect able sources, from which 1 ban gathered, that be was heading a very peaceable life In what is called the Brews. country. where, of all places in the world, perhaps, It is the least likely be should find any temp tation to justify, by comarletiog an ," igisolosimine erime." the shameful and cruel end ban faleohnds that has bee. invested to Inject him sad to hart his family. There is one thing, which has a great tendency to mike people here give faith to whatever comes of of American Newspapers, aid that is. the supposi tion, that it is impossible that a lie, so refined as well as corrupt and wanton, as this one about Young Watson, should be given birth to in a state of things so incomparably simple and pure as the Republic of America! We have little idea, here, of the reasons, the interest, that those Editors on the other side of the Atlantic find, ii writiig falsehoods (as they de) on purpose that they may be quoted in &Timid by each men as those who do not thiak it beneath rem• to belong to the Courier or the Times. The truth is. however, that the two sets, in the two countries, are as much related to one another as even the Borough mongers could wish. These fellows here are main roots of the tree, st.d those oo the other shore, though less perceptible, are, nevertheless, eat less absolutely necessary, n their capacity of collateral*, towards t►e u?bolding and the succouring of the big trunk. To give you a sample of what is issued out of a Trans- Atlantic lie-factory, of this kind, you must know that, a little while before 1 left New York, 1 read, in a Nvwcpaper called the Evening Post, and edited by one Coleman, who plays into the the hands of the corrupted vagabonds here. as nicely as possible, a paragraph, saying, that my father, who lived at aon si gton.b ad turned slaughterer ofealves and sheep, and had act malty opened a butchers stall, for the purpose of trafficking in those smacks! This, you knew, was a second-hand lie, by the time I saw ft, originally set a-going, I believe by the Times, and backed of course, in America, by one of its correspond ents. There the Times, as might be expel ted, between each vermin, in situations so well corresponding, al ways gets an original lie back for the one be transmits , to the hireling on the other side; as, for instany one that was published in the year 1818. and the sabstance of which was, that my father had been pre secured by the American Government, and that he had losenforiad guilty, and that judgment had been awarded against ALA to the amount of swan thousand dollars ! Illy father took the trouble to go to the Attorney-Oe nen'. in America, and to get from him a certificate to prove that all this was a flows right lie, without any thing like a foundation. be then carried the certificate, as form required, to be countersigned by the British Consul at New York, a north of Ireland fellow, whorl name is lischaenan,equally admired, far lasi', caching, at a Muggletonian Meeting-House. and jar his brag , ging that he is the Cousin German of Lord Castkresgh; the Consul signed the certificate. but kept it, no cause my father did not think proper to pay him two dollars for the job.

The pedestrian did the first 33 miles in four hours, and breakfasted off a fowl, leaving his backer the boner. He arrived at a friend's house near Royston (37 miles) at eight o'clock, and halted three hours itacog. and rerreshed himself with sleep.

He started again at eight o'clock, and did the 70 volles at a slow rate at half peat eleven, winning the first march, sad not incommoded.

The Report of the Loan Bill was received, and order ed to be read a third time to-morrow. The Charge of Pension Bill was reported, and order ed to be real a third time to-morrow. Mr. HUME asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he bad sold, or negotiated any of the Annuities? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that be had not sold, or negotiated any yet, nor would he till the sales in datsuary. The 5 per Cent.

The Distress in Ireland Bill was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time to-morrow. The Ranee Licensing Regulation Bill was read a third time and passed. The Scotch Spirits Exportation Bill went through a Committee, the Resolutions agreed to, and the Report to be further considered en Fnday seat. RRCtlittt ORNttIL. The Receivers General Bill west through a Committee. Mr. HUME moved as amendments to certain clauses, that the Treasury be empowered and nuthorised to grant allowances to Receivers-0 I, at not less than 3001. nor more than 6001. ;—that Receivers-Oeneral be restricted from acting by deputy except in cases of ill ness, or other sufficient temporary causes. , that the latter part of the first clause be omitted, providing a food for defraying the expense of the Iteceivertieneral; and that the collection be made in the same way as the collec• tioos of the Excise. In his opinion, Receivers-0 I might be dispensed with altogether in f of Collec tors similar to those of the Excise. Mr. LUSHOIOTON said, that the Hon. Gentleman would scarcely think that Excise Collectors would an swer all the purpose of Receivers General, when he he informed him that the difference of security which it was thought right to require from those two classes of of ficers, was betwixt three hundred thousand and sixteen million pounds. If it was thought requisite to take sixteen minims from the Receivers-Beneral, it was ob vious their reepeasibility must be much greater than what could be banded over to the Excise Collectors He bad no objection to insert the elapse disabling Receivers Orem) to act by deputy, except in cases of Obsess, and to emit that part of the first clause objected to by the Hon. Gentleman, but he could not tensest to his pro posed tiimisution of salary. If such were to be attempt ed, be was sate they would lose their best Receivers General. The plan laid down is this Bill, be was thoroughly convinced, was the best and cheapest that could be adopted. Mr. HUMS and Mr lATIIIIINGTON mutually explained. Sir JOHN NEWPORT believed that within the last six months the Reitiver-Oeneral is Ireland had been abolished, and the money paid oe aceoest of taxes re mitted directly to the Bank of Ireland. If this mode had bees adopted there, why mild not the same course be taken in this constu. Mr. LUSHINUTON said if the bind mode of collect ing the resume here were adopted it would measles double—a Right Hon. Gentleman sear him, said four' times—the expense. At all events it would be mach mere expensive than the present mode of collection. Mr. HUME was of opinion the reveoue might be col lected and transmitted to the Treasury without one far thing expense. After a farther conversation, in which Mr. Lesntwo- TON, Si: C. LONG, Mr. Alderman WOOD, Mr. CALCIRAFT, the Cnexcettoa of the EXCHISQVIII, sad Mr. Bairriar participated, the CUAIRMAN reported progress, and ob tained leave to sit again that day. and then allowed that accusation sts become a reset for a permitsl mimic on that Member, there was ats Mid t s the treedeas of their debates. There was aasther pub !leaden consented with the same subject. A letter up• peered in the Courier newspaper of Monday last, signed by Robert Menai'', and add ti to Mr. Abereromhy. In that letter the writer made some comments on the supposed speech of the Hon. Cien►lertan, and in conclu sion desired the Hon. Member is send a coo►radiction of that speech, with the comments, to the editor of the paper in which the speech appeared. This letter. with the sopa er to it, and another letter with a commentary on both. Wrestled to the Editor of the Carrier, were polished in that paper. (The lion. Member here read parts of these let tees.) The house had a right to inter f►re to prey •ut any dangerous consemnencee, when any obsetvations within the walls of thtt house were made a ground fur a peptone' attack on any of their Members. It was dearly the meaning and intention of those letters to make a personal attack grow out of the duty of a Member of that house. His object was first to have the lionise declare those passages whirls he read to be a breath of the privilege of the house. His intention was to follow up that declaration with ulterior proceedings. Th• llon Member then bronght up the publications, and moved that the offensive passages be read by the Clerk. Lord BINNING wished to know whether it was mil in such cages to read the whole or some passages? The SPEAKER was understood to say, that in strict ness it was usual to read the whole, but it might per- Imps be as well to read the passages, which the Hon. Member hail pointed out. The CLERK having then read extracts from the letter addressed by Mr. Hope to James Abercromby, Esq. M. P., Mr. COURTENAY moved that the said exttacte, rommenting on • spe,ch of a Member of that house, be declared a breach of the privileges of the house. The Marquess of LONDONDERRY said a few words, but in so low a tone that we could not collect their OWROWE. The SPEAKER said that there were two courses, either of which it was usual for the house to pursue. The one was to declare the ob ions complained of to be a breach of privilege, and then to follow that up by ulterior proceedings. The other course was to sum mon the parties before the house, and ascertain by ex amining them at the Bar, whether the publication amounted to a breach of privilege. Mr WYNN said the bonse aught to he in p ion of the whole of the letter before they came to any de cision. He recollected a ease in which the whole of a pamphlet was read before the house decided it to be a breach of privilege or not. That was certainly incon venient. But perhaps it would be better after the pre sent notice, to adj ourn the further contdderation until all the Members should have made themselves acqoaintrd with the whole of the letter. He would not advocate a breach of privilege. His Hon. Friend behind him had given him an opportunity of seeing the whole letter, but other Members had not the same opportunity. it would be inconvenient to call fur a decision, until all ; e rased the whole letter. Mr. TIERNEY said, that there could be no doubt but the extracts read to the house were a breach of pri vilege. Bat perhaps the severity of that censure would be softened by reading the whole of the publication. It would not be right to pass a rote of censure withont cause. If any Hen. Member thought the reading of the whole publication would soften the censure which was due to the part they had heard read, it was cou.pe. tent for him to move that the whole be read. Let it not be said they came to a decision without being acquaint ed with the whole letter. Mr. WYNN expressed a wish to'adjourn the consi- . deration of the subject, and he referred to the case of Mr. Hobboase. The SPEAKER said there were many precedents is both the ways he before stated. First, be deciding that the words were a breach of privilege, and then calling on the parties to appear ; secondly, by calling the par ties to the Bar in the first instance, and then examining them to see whether their conduct amounted to a breath of privilege or not. The house noticed breaches of privilege, not for the convenience of any Member, bat to enable them to do their deity. They sate every day some I • caches of the privileges of the house; but these were not notified, as they were not attended with any inconvenience. The house should keep distinct those two points; first, the question whether the thing was at all a breach of privilege; and, secondly, %%heftier it was such a breach, as that it would be proper to no tice it or not. They should also take care that their abstaining from noticing those breaches of privileges, might not lead to the imputation of a doubt, existing in their own minds, whether they possessed those privi leges or not. The Marquess of LONDONDERRY was understood to say, that it was usual after bringing the subject before the house, to postpone its consideration to an other day, that the house might decide on it with more advantage. The SPEAKER again explained the order of pro ceeding. Mr. PEEL said, that if any analogy were to he drawn from the conduct of the house in a ease where two of its Members were concerned, to prevent the termination of a difference which all must lament, it was certain they might interfere in a case where but one of its Members was concerned, though no breach of privilege had been committed. But his object at present was to urge that the same course should be pursued as in the case of Mr. Hobhonse. which was one of gross and ob vious breach of privilege, namely—that it should be postponed to a subsequent day. Mr. TIF.RNEY thought the cases very distinct from each other. That of Mr. Ilobhouse affected the general character of the house in its corporate capacity. Toe libel might lee explained away possibly. by stating the motives and circumstances tinder which it w.es written. But here was a case where there could he no doubt—a case of an attack on a Member in the discharge of his duty, and called on the house for prompt interference. It was said, too, that they ought to delay their judg ment, and not make any order respeciing the attend ance of the absent Member, until that judgment was passed. Suppose the Member. after that lapse, did not appear, what would be the feelings el the house in hitting slip the opportunity of preventing proceedings which every man most I s ment. Mottos there was a 1101114 that this %rasa libel, why refrain from prom:mutt ing an o :Slpinion on it at onee ? Mr. Mr N thought that enough bad been stated to jostify the house in waking an order toe the attendance of the Honourable Member (Mr. Abercromby.) This he considereel to be necessary in the first instance, what ever might he the judguient of the house on the subject of the breach of prisikee. Mr. RANEE* said that this case differed from that of Mr. llobbituse—it was au uhvioue breach of privilege. But lie slid not think they ought to proceed in the first instance to move fur the attendance of the ahsent Mem ber. 's bey ought to prt...red by reguiar steps. Lord thoaglit the case of Mr. flulehouse stool a to this, to ilt briny au .•ieritto. !teach of pi i si ker. The house did hesitate aisciy, and he thought I they ought to do the same now. Mr tiltoi:tillAM said that the house hail to limb at dais case, first a, . Greaeu ot pen tree. incident to which 'arcs a Cit.tt , C.. uf pet - se:Nil aitereAllUlM L it them first attr:rl to the wain tit). vice, and look upon the other as an indoecinet.t to d-sp. c The I,bel of li. llotrituttse nasof .t giqteral it tture. and to be resentrA by the Louse. It Jed out .1:1•V.IL: to BREACH OF PRIVILEGE. Mr. W. COUR'rENAY said he rose to call the at. tention of the House to a publication, which fell under his notice, and which, be supposed, had attracted the notice of other Gentlemen. That publication was in the shape of a letter, and contained observation which to him appeared to be a Breach of the Privileges of that house. He hoped, therefore, he would be excused. if being of that opinion, he called the attention of the house to the subject. The house WOO I bear in recol lection that some few days ago (the 25:11 of June) an Hon. Gent. (Mr. Abercromby.) had brought before the house the coarlect of part of die rasa is Scotland, and of some inslivtduals connected with it. In performing the duty which the Hon. Gent. bad undertaken, he ne cessarily appeared as an accuser. However disagreeable that discussion was to the Hoe. Gent. himself, it was important to the public and to Parliament. He (Mr. C.) held in his hand a letter, which was jnst published, and which was entitled a" Letter to James Abercroinby, I Esq. M.P. by J. Hope." That gentleman had published a letter of very considerable length, which contained.ex pressions and observations, that, as applied to a Member within those walls, might be considered dangerous, and calculated to promote hostility. and bring the writer I into a personal quarrel with a Member of that house. — He would read a part of the letter, but as it was of con siderable length, he would trouble the house with only one or two passages, which appeared to him to be a gross violation of their privileges. The letter began by no noticing the report of the speeds of the Hon. Gent.— (Mr. Abercromby) in that House, and then addressed the Member of the house as it lie were the nnquestion able speaker of that reported speech. The first pays ire which he would read to the house ran in the followitig words:—" On the gents injustice to the defendants, re sulting from this pe ion of the privileges of parlia mentary discussion, in order to aid the private action of a political associate, and to prepossess and prejudice the minds of the public, from wham the Jury must after , wards be selected, it is needless to enlarge." He (Mr. Courtenay) was not a political associate with the Hon. Gentlenian who made the speech which gave rise to those observations, but he knew that Hon. Gentleman only did his duty, and be, who called that duty a perversion of the privileges of Parliaments ry discnesion," and ascribed it to p and unworthy motive s . was guilty of a breach of the privileges of that house. There were other parts of the letter equally olfensive, but hr thought the passage, which lie had read, strong et otigh to merit the censure of the house. %Viten he said he had no political association with the lion. Candi mar. (Mr. Ahercronthy) it might be suppored that for that reason thecourse he had pursued was not strictly correct. But it was not for him to consider what was agreeable or disagreeable to the Hon. (lenticular. Ile was resolved to do his duty in bringing under their consideration what appeared to him to he a direct breach of the privi leges of the house. lie did riot do that fur the sake of being brought into notice, or of intruding himself on on the house, but while they had the privilege of a free dom of speech in that house, he was of opinion they ought to guard it, and not allow an attack of that na ture on one of their Members.
