PROCEEDINGS IN PARLIAMENT. • We left unfinished the proceedings of the night before last. The House proceeded in the Bill for reducing the Salt Tax, without any alteration is the plan proposed before; namely, the taking off of thir teen shillings a bushel duty. It then weal on the tew Coro Bill. which admits Corn to be imported, when the average price is seventy shillings a bushel. here was long dating and bickering about the mat ter; but, at last, it was left at seemly shinier a bushel; and the Herter bajourned after admitting a clause (foi 4 . future discussion) to allow of the grinding of foreign fore. This clause was proposed by CANNING. We Lope it will be adopted. notwithstanding the source from which it comes ; for we are very sore that the frr greater part of the none will be first or last, con sumed in England; and cheapness is what we wide to see. The Waterloo Loan Bill was before the House ; and Mr. Hums proposod that the Loan should he taken by the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund. This was rejected as eomieg from Mr. Hums; bat PAECOE GRZNPELL moved a cleats that if those Com missioners should think it expedient to deal in the Waterloo annuities, they shoed be permitted to do it; and this clause (hear it, ye thinking people of England!) was adopted. So that, here are the Com missioners of the Sinking Fund actually paying off debt wkb one band and increasing it with the other; and all the cocsecoence to the nation is, that it loses the amount of the charges of managing these matters; that the Stock-jobblog crew have a greater field to gamble io; and that the rest of the country are ex posed in a greater degree to the tricks and frauds of the cunning tribe of Jews and Jobbers. LAST NIGHT, there was, as usual, little done io the Howie of Lords, and nothing worthy of our particu- lar notice. In the CONSIONS% the greatest part of the time was spent in a debate about the Criminal bow. Suffice it to say of this, that the motion was for doing of some thing seat Sambas of Parliament; and we will bet Sir James BhcatiN roam any thing that he pleases, that ■othing is ever done in th►t business as long es the Borough of hisares&orough shall return two mem bers to Parliament ; and we would further bet, that in this respect, SirJ•siLß 111SCRINTOli is of our °pi llion. ASEICELTITRAL DISTRESS MIS again the atili3tet of petitions and of remarks, and Sir THOS. LEM itIDGE took as usual (of late) a very sturdy part in the dis cuse:oc. 11^ tocnplainrd of the i 3liffe Tact of the Ministers to the sufferings of the country ; and said that the landlords an I farmers, had but one alterna tive; and that was to consider how far they were bound to sustain burthens most unjustly imposed :Ton them.CASTLIREAGH complained of this diurnal de clamation, and said it was calculated to have an in flammatory effect. Oh, gracious Heavens ! Here is the old charge against us radicals, preferred against the staunch Pittites and high aristocrats. How long hare we been foretelling that this would be the case: How positively, in 1817, while they were accusing us of inflammatory language, did we tell them that the day would comowhen they must act according to that lan. gaa ge, or lose their estates. We toll them now, as we hare told them a hundred times, WE know how to serve their estates; to make there as secure as their fore fathers were, without a single act of injustice to any ml.. or, :sr.

State farther view, and of she principles on which I have acted in that, to preserve the estates, it is necessary to reduce the discharge of that very delicate and important duty. largely the interest of the debt, and the expenses of JAMES MUNROE. the army ; and without a reform, which shall make the -- - -•--- people pull with the landlords, sod so quiet sato require spumy to keep them down, these measures for primary leg the estates are absolutely impossible to be carried late elect. This is your case, Sir T. Levessinos. We aro glad to hear you say that you an a Desert to !deform, and we care sot whether you take our phis rsi that of Lord Jour/ Kiruna. to begin with. We are very sure that even the bouse-holders, if they were secs freely permitted to vote, would soon matter to the winds all bribery and corruption, whether coming team the bare-faced villains who openly deal in the sommodity, or from the greater, because hypocriti. eat villains, who carried on their trade through the cajolery of realm—During this debate, Sir F. BURDILTT made hie appearance. He was convinced that the distresses of the country proceeded from the ignorance and imcapability of ministers; a cause very different from that which he has stated upon many former occasions.He complained of the effect of Paces Bill, sad he was answered in a manner which another opportonity will offer fur noticing more particularly by Mr. Pest, who, we most confess and have no grudge in confine , ing, has, throughout, acted in the fairest and remit man ly manne r.—We were sorry to find Mr. Jamul snaking a very material mistake. He observed that it was iniquitous to pay the public creditor interest' upon the fall amount of his loan, which had bees con tracted when the paper was depreciated so as to make a pound worth only fourteen or fifteen shillings. We beg heave to point out to Mr. Jeans, and we do it with very great respect, that he is here adopting that very f Mr. RICARDO, which he himself, semi time ago, exposed in so spirited a mariner. It was not twenty or twenty floe per cent. that the money was depreciated in 1810 and 1811. It was . dew, dred and fifty per cent. The difference between the price of the paper and the gold, was no criterion at all. It was the value of the corrency in general, compared with the price of the produce of the earth, that ought to have been taken as the standard. Mr. RICARDO said, in 1819, prices will fell only three is four or four and a half per cent., because, said he, that is the difference now between the price of papee and of gold. The fallacy of this has been shown a hundred times over, and particularly in the first of Mr. ConnETT'll three late letters to Lord Lt v carom.; and experience has proved most amply ; has ceased to be written is the fate of thousands of ruined farmers and their families, the truth of this doctrine. Mr. JAMES has heard the notions of Saint HORNER and of those stupid things,the Edinburgh Revlawers,repeatei so often, that he has adopted them involuntarily 1.11 spite of his own better understanding. He should recollect that, by the notion which he now pats forth, the calculations of Granny blase& tt are folly justified, and the fundholder has yet to receive a good many di vidends before be will have his dee. Sir T. LEVI' HRIDC.E . S, however, is the true path. Let him keep in that path ; let only one Country Gentleman in every county follow the same path, and let them call upon the yeonraery to second their efforts, and we shall have every thing settled in a manner that will restore lb e people to their rights, and preserve the estates to the landlords.

Our national legislature wasted so etch time of the first part of the Session, that both bosses are now en der the necessity of sitting both night and day. The Senate met on Monday and Tuesday at tea o'clock in the morning, and continued is session with a recess of i P JAMES BIUNROE. Paris papers to the 3d last. have arrived, bat their contents are ao otherwise of importance than disprov jag the authenticity of the document we mentioned yes terday, published by The Constilutionnel as the Man- festo of the Emperor Alexander. The Journal des Debuts of the 2d inst. says :—" All doubts in this re spect are at so end, We have learnt from the most competent authority. that the pretended Manifesto is a - Woe and fabricated piece ; the Russian Court has not yet published any thing like it.—There are accounts of the 23d from Spain, w►ich contain details of the dis persion of the factions bands.

SALT Taix.—The measures of the Chancellor of the Exchequer went over-ruled by some fatality. Even when be proposes relief, he produces oppression.

OWe have not room at present," say the Drblia Evening Pool, "or we should be enabled to satisfy our Readers, that the Re ties!. as et present contemplated, would deprive this country of any chance which she might have of recovering from the present pressure which is crusting her down to the earth. A. committee of inordinate is sitting at this moment on the subject, and we would suggest to the merchants of Cork.

Serious complaints are made by Law Stationer' of ' a Bill now in Parliament for the regulation of the stamp duties. Law stamps are, as well as penalties, in some cases, to be increased!, and the allowances to the Law Stationers reduced. A meeting - has been held at Blanchester on the subject. The Bristol Mercury, of Saturday last, informs us that the accounts from the mining districts of Mon mouthshire are of a p acificnatare. The question of wages, however, remains still unrettled between the toasters and their workmen at the principal works, excepting Blaenavon, The manner in which the Ma gistrates of the county have taken np the question of wagers' shops, and the unalterable resolotion mani fested by them, to enforce, upon conviction, the penal ties of those Acts of Parliament, known by the name of Mr. Moggridge's Acts, have given great satisfaction. out °idyls° the workmen, but to the country at large.— Warraots„ it appears, for win-payment of Parish-rates, against thirty-three persons, all inholiting one ham let of a neighbouring perish, were signed by the Ma gistrates at Pon'- - •pool on Wednesday last.

THE I.Ale FETE AT THE KING'S THEATRE —Tile - • circumstance which unfortunately subjected M. Bel zoni, at the Theatre, to the harsh treatment which we noticed in our account of the ball, and of which be complained in a circular letter, is thus explained to day in a note by Mr. Ebers : Mr. Vaughan having obtained two tickets of admis sion, transferred one of them to Colonel Burke, and ca. changed the other at Mr. Ebers'. fur a Lady's ticket. Colonel Burke, on his way home, had his pocket picked, and in consequence requested that his Ticket, upon which Mr. Vaughan's name was written, might he stop ,if it should be presented for admission, The seanid Ticket hating been disposed of to Mr. Belzoni, and hay hog also the name of Mr. Vaughan attached to it, was not thought of at the moment, and being the first pre tented, was considered as the one which bad been im properly obtained.
