situation, mid he was also isformed (balmy Lord Letitia* had Isms moved is the busincia, Mr. BROGDEN said it was certainly highly irregular to go into matters of a personal nature like the present. Mr. 111 1 ESTERN said. that to rednee the number of platt er's its that Howse way a osmium whirls should have• his warmest support, and be hoped it would WA be long berme the matter would be homed before she House. Os Ohs miestioN before the House, he was instructed by his slamellel treats to say, shat the pressure of the Malt Tax on the orris* culture of the oseetry was of so oppressive a nature Mail it could not vouch longer be burnt, and he should theetilseel( (hist it his duty to move some specific propositivo 11* til duce the tax which was imposed two years ago. Mr. HUSKISION said, the vole of to-night was for that old Malt Tas, which misally accompanied the Laud Tax.— The additional hie laid on two years ago was a permanent tax, and formed pert of the Consolidated Fund. He bad the satisfaction of stating, that the duty paid on malt the had year was greater than had been paid within the last two or three years; so that there could have been uo pressure on agricu3tesre from•the diminished consumption of grain. Mr. CREEVEY said, it was out his Intention to divide the Committee nn tile old taxes. Sir WILLIAM DE CRESPIONY said, in the prevent circeeastances of the iroomey, a retreschmerint of the ex penditure was absolutely necessary to save it from ruin. The system of collet-glow toe taxes was abominable, and unless it were changed, would be productive of the most serious evils tO.llO, itemise. He isticrided shortly to bring formed a motion to explore die corruption of the system, uarifrurged the necessity of the papers which be bid moved for is 1819, and again the other day, being imosedudely laid es the table. Sir FRANCIS BLAKE said, al Hen. Member had a few sights ago called a Committee of Supply a farce, on no other grounds, as be midst see, but because there were so f e arjggrobers; hut, (bough there were but few, it slut nut follow that the public business hail hers, neglected sir im properly transacted; for saner the House resumed, Members of indepeudence, integrity, and experience remained. If, therefore, it were a farce, it arose from the pednrnuirwe of the Hoe. Member himself, who had divided the Committee' five tines, with no prospect of success, and cousequeutly without any attainable object. Retolutious were (ben put and carried, for continuing the duty of Is. per bsshrl on Mill s the duty on Tobacco and Seat, and the duties on Pensions in Eugland. On the Resolution for continuing the duties us Sugar, the Committee divided— For continuing the Duly Bl Against It. M'ajorlty On oar return to the gallery the House bad resumed. The Report of the Committee of Ways an d Mesas was or., dered to be received ow Monday neut. PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF CONTROL. Mr. HUM E rose to move fur copies of the patents of aiiif poiatments of the late and present Presidents of she of Control, and of warrant annexing salary to she He observed that, by the tith Anne, four of the Geodesica i who had sot Slid the majority of that night ought not t have bad places in that House. The Board of Coutrol had originally so pay or salary, audit was in the 33d year etas late liiag that for die first time a salary was given to the Com missioners. add the( Act distinctly provided, that the Com. missionsero Who received a salary should vacate their seats: hum that piriud every Pia sident of the Board of Control had, as a matter of course, vacated his seat. It might be said the President received no salary, but be received emolument, at least eo far es patronage was emolument ,• and it could out, be out that principle that every former President of 114 ' Board had Vacated bit scat os his appointment. Tye ci t trouser s according to s downbeat which had been ma id of it by 6 Member urthe lad Parliament, and •la . Ilig unifierehmel was entirely given to the President, was, for r ibs permit year-26 cadets, two writers, and four amistaat. surgeons : the value would amount to 12,0001.—A Noble Lord who bad been brought wirier the Notice of that Ha fur dealing fur a seat i• Parlimmet, was to give a wrikrship as the price. Now every one knew the value of a seat in Parliament, and could therefore estimate the value of the istitership. In November lam the Pre sides( of the Board of Control received from the East India Company two writeribipa, which were equivalent to two seals in the House of Commons ; so that in the spirit, if not according to the letter of the Act, as the President received emoluments, lie ought to vacate. The expense of the Board of Control had befit to the East latch Company, 'since its institution, 800,0001. but be hoped the Company would sows be relieved from the ex pellee, at least so far as regarded the Commissioners. The Hon. Member concluded with moving fur the domande ‘ bleb he hail al. fit -- lit luttril. Mr. B. BATHURST said, he saw no objection to the prodection of ihe documents which the Bon Sleraber re quired. There was art Act of Parliament which ref/shim" . this proceeding, and by which it was enacted, that ffM salary were received, the Member need not vacate his seat therefore the question really to be brought &fore the Heusi, was, whether the President of the Board of Control, not re. riving any salary, did or did not vacate his seat. He did , not desire the Hon. Member to believe it on his ow.. affirmation, but when the warrant came before the Hum*, he worild see that no notary was assigned him. He denied the Hutt. Membe ea explanative, that patronage meant profit or emolument. He had stated before, that he did bold another office, for which he thought himself sufficiently compeasated fur the whole duty which he at present per formed. Mr. CREE%LY said, he did not mean to say that the President of the Board of Coutrul would convert his pa. la saris., into money, but he was quite sure that a portion of pstrorage was allotted to him which he would dispose of as out h things usually w. re. If there were Iwo writerebipp, and they were given to two Kills, it was a provision for life, anti certainly enure than equivalent to 5,000/. hi money. Mr. WILLIAM SMITH contended that the patronage attsched to the office woo clearly ',officinal to briug it witheo the meaning of the Act. Fut npon what pried ciplr was it that the acceptance of any office with a salary attached to it, vacated a seat in that House, but upon the principle of the influence which the Crown thereby ac quired in the House? Suppose then that the Secretary at War received no salary, but by virtue of his office as Secre tary at War, had the disposal of a certain number of Cum mimiona in the army, would not that, he would not say vacate hie seat in that House, but have the same influence ow his conduct as if a salary were attached to it > It was well kaawn that formerly when writerships were sold, they were valued at 3,000/. each ; the twenty-six cadetships too. Did any body imagine that the &spoutl of these did not give the Prendesit •f the Board of Control a considerable de. giew of influence Auld did any body imagine that that influence would be used in may other way elms to strengthen the influence of his Msjesty's Government in that House? Mr. M. FITZGERALD said, that the Act •Ilistleal to was rertaioly intended to prevent the intrusion into that House of penning holding office at the pleasure of the Crown, and cuough hail appeared to warned the Hun. Member in call. ing for this inquiry. It was said that no salary had been created tot he Right Hou.Getliieln:lll for holding the office; but it might tune oat that at some future time, after the Session, reboil; a salary would be given, for it was too mach to troppcse that an office, to which heavy ditties were attached, the 'patronage of which was great, and from which large ernoluroeut bad heretofore been derived, should now be filled without some it.ing in the way of ait equivalent. Mutt restrict tar the patronage •nnextd to it, the influence `lark it rave muethe considerable. Fur big own part, he dmb, he very glad to have the disponi, of a couple of writership,r, twenty.sio eadetshipa, and some assistant sue. ertioltilloh among Ms constituents —( Lan Ofee )—He re' tomb s nil that, a frw years ago, when Lord Melville, a di•• tinguished Senteleman, held the office, all Scotland went out to India -•-(Loughlitr).—Some time afterwards in cond. aerobhe improvement took place ; the office was lilted by an Inahmat., , and the Scotehmeti were no beer to be found on their way to India. They were s•pplauted by Irishmea, hich was cestaiesty a eharree her the haater.—( Lauf/Ater tw llPPointeseat noted . milierit /*tad weWe, l " 1 the food thi ngs Wl though not, he hoped. tryomeit.tl—(imixpefer.)-801 if Ibis was is tact Winch could realty be Mineltaiged without salary. be thought the Honor Goghs to demand thst the trpshould bare the benrfikof the cliange, and iluit the anlolloll fortterly paid in salary to the President should be ileducted from ihs anneal charges of the Board,—(Henr. hear.)—Hut motsiithstaisding that no salary was nt present annexed to the oilier, he vita decidedly or opinion that it oath. to vacate the Right Hon.

Mr BkTHURST said, the question for the Rinse would be. whether iu point of law, aceordeog to the Act of Anne, the acceptasice of the office tooter the circuoistauces vacated the seat The amoral consideration of lathiest* was gime be- . side she allocation. Lord ALTHORP said, he had always understood it to be in she 'spirit of the Act, that whenever • Member ac cepted an office nailer the Clown, lie should vacate his seat, in order to give Lis constituents sn opportunity of de termining for themselves whether they would coutiaue to give him their confidence, or sot. Mr. COVRTENAY said, that abcorriing to the doctrine of the Noble Lord, and of the Hon..Grntlensaa who pre'. ceded him, there SIVrl . many Noble Lords and Hon. Gentle. men who ought to hive vacated their wits, but with ►e. specs to whom no such question had ever been entertained. As to what hail been laid of the use of the patronage au. nested so the office, as a means of increasing the influence of Government in that House,. he disdained to smswer it. Mr. DENMAN wished to know what was to be done with the money which bad I . ..rowdy been applied to the pay• meet of the salary of this office? It was very generally understood, that the salary was not received by the Right Honourable Gentleman opposite, bat was reserved fur the Right Honourable Gentleman whom be bad rue eeeded.--(a ro , so," from lie Misaitwainf Demeher ; What, then, was to be done with it? Would that amount be saved to the country?—[Mr Bathurst across the table, " it will be saved to the Easf India Company." 3—He was glad to hear It. Bat there had bee., instances where members hail accepted of office wittiest salary, to prevent the vacating of their ends, bat at the dissoluiton of Parliament the arrears had been paid np to them. He hoped it would not prove so is the resent instance. Lord BINNING said, he certainly should not hive troubled the House but fur the insisnatinn thrown out by the Hon. and Learned Gentleman against his Right Hon. Friend, the Member for Liverpool, as if he were capable of such a base and corrupt action as that of receiving • paltry salary upon false pretences. In the name of H where did the Learned Gentleman get his hafeemation from ? Or did he think that it was fair and manly conduct to pursue Inwards a political adversary in his absence?—(Hear, icor, from the Ministerial benches.) Mr. DENMAN said, be had so intentioa to impute any thing to the Right Honourable Member for Liverpool, but only to state what was very currently reported He had done it openly and fairly; and the Noble Lord bad bad the opportunity of defending his absent friend, and if he thought be had dome him any service by the defence be had made for him, he did not envy Wm his feelings.—(Near ) Mr STURGER BOURNE, with great warmth, said, nor did be envy the Honourable sad L al Gentleman his feelings.—(Near, hear, Iron the Ministerial benches Where had the Learned Gentleman got his information ? Who had dared to impute such base and corrupt conduct to his Right Hun. Friend ? Who was the man whose malig nity had prompted hint to invest such an imputation.) Mr. DENMAN said, he disclaimed the term inanimation altogether. He bad put • plain question upon • report which he had heard. He had dome it, as he conceived, In as fair a manner as it could be put, and an op. portenity had thereby keen given to the friends of lb. Right Honourable Gentleman to answer it. He was at • loss to discover any malignity in all this, and he did. think it perfectly competent to auy Member of Parliament to ask what was done with the salary of an aka is such a case as that now wader conadderation. Mr. £BI ELL said, that be really could not bad any thing Improper in what had been said by the How. and Learned Gentleman. The questiow he pat was an exceeding proper woe. With respect to the Right Hoe. Member for Liverpool, be ores reedy to give ►is teetiamusy a the very satisfactory member in which he ►ad discharged t►e duties of the omre. But be felt it to be his duty as a Member of the Company to watch t►is question in which its bitterests were concerned. The chores of the Board of Control were defrayed by the Company, and if any soviet were to be made of any put of the salaries heretofore paid to the Commissioner., the Company ought to have the benefit of it. He therefore wished to know whither ON salary would be paved to the Compsny. Mr. BATHURST 'aid it certainly would be • saving to the East India Company. A desultory conversation then ensued upon some veils, amendments suggested by Mr. BATHURST, which being adopted, the motion was agreed to. NAVY ESTIMATES. Mr. CREEVEY moved fur the Navy Estimates, on which the grams voted on Tuesday last bad beer founded. If they bad been product(' before the grants were peopored, he should nut perhaps have been coespelloil to pot the House to the inconvenience of divider; so many times as he did un that occasion. He hoped, however, that la future the Estimates would be given ■t once, that the House might see she foundation of the vote they were giving. The rautiou was sgreetl to. Sir H.

The House adjoursed ♦T ♦ QO♦RTER-PAW ELEVEN O'CLOCK, to Monday. - -- About four o'clock on the — morning of Times ility last, the sloop Brothers and Sisters, of this port (John Coulson master, Mr, Hornhuckle owner), suddenly went down in seven fathoms water, abreast of litgoldmells, and was totally lost. ‘Vhether the vessel sprung an instantane ous leak by striking upon a sunken wreck, or whether her bottom was entirely forced out by the unusual pressure of her cargo of cliff-stone, has not hewn ascertained. It is well known that the shipwrecked mariner, when returning to the port to which be Won', is apt to console him self for all bra sufferiegs, by anticipating the en dearments of house. This consolattort, however, Captain Coulson had out. His wife and two chil dren had been far some time the companions of his voyage, and the itimates of his cabin, where the eldest child was at the moment of the alarm being given ; and so sodden was the sinking of the vessrl, that it could inn be brought tsp.— The other infant was in the arms of its moister, who at the moment the came out of the cabin, was, together with the object of her fondest care, in stantly swept away by au overwhelming surge, and stook in the deep to rase nu snore. When the crew perceived than the vessel was about to sink, they jumped into the bout, which then went down toge ther with the ship. Yet, shielded still by provi dential care, they were all restored from the depths of the sea; fur the boat being loose, rose with them again ; so that they were ei11 ,61, 4 1 t o tails it to the mast, and by that theists preserve themselves from being hurled by the waves.

The Awstrian Observer has slain it lung article, nuder the head of the Kingdom of the Two Stetlies, dated Naples, January 13, the general spirit of which may be seen by the following passages:— " The bravados of the public journalists and of the dema gogues in the Tribunal (though both are greatly lowered within this Week) can 110 longer deceive one who makes use of his eyes: it is clear that all is bete rapidly proceeding to a speedy dissolution. Even before the invitation of the Sove reigns to the King, there was only use opinion un the impos sibility of maintaining the present order of things among all who had say means of judging of the situation and the wants of the country, whatever their views in other re spects might be. • • • • 6 " When the Parliament of the Bth of December was lb deride 'open the Royal Message, mut twenty Members, per haps not ten, would have voted for retaining the !Spanish Constitution, had they sot been terrified by thethratsuf she Carlsonari and of a small number of demitasse demagiagoes. One must have been whams to the sane to form an ade qoate idea of the coefosiota, the embarrassment, the shame of all these men, who, frum mere cowardice, supported a measure which they themselves considered as iujuriusis, and even insensate. " Since that day the Male of affairs has become more des perate. Men of talent, whose number was never consider able, have been all removed from public limitless., or helve voluntarily withdraw,.. The civil and military administra tion (if we may speak of administration in this state of perfect anarchy) is in the hands of the most isicoinpetent men, who know not how to help themselves from day to day, and do not enjoy the smallest confidence among their own adherents. General Pepe, and some desperate Republicans who surround and direct him, are misters of the country, and their power is foanded un terror alone. The sittings of Parliament, which feels its impotence and nothingness, are intended merely to hold up to the people the shadow of government, which, is fact, no where exists, said to supply the Journals from time to time with some patriotic weevers lions which the speaker utters mechanically, sod the au diesee hear with inditreauee. • • • " Deepoudency has reached Its height since the publica tion of the letter from the Kin of France, tritium the King of Naples to accede to the invitation of the Sovereigns; for before this, a gamut Ifrope-wouns to have hose erstertaitad that France would not act with the other Powers, hut rather oppose them.

The best Generals, Cameos., Filaugi rr i r &c. have retired ; most of the good officers have followed their example, and Pepe is not the man to create an army out of discontented, ill-paid, and disorganised troops.

LON DON, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1821. The Quints's Annuity Bill was read last night a second tune in the Iltitiea of Commons without any debase. In the Committee of Ways and Means some discussion arose upuu the question for con tinuing the Malt Duty, it being contended by Mr. CRERVEY and others, that nut a shilling ought to be granted to meet the supply until the estimates for the public service should he presented to the House. This objection is not customary, but it is founded in good sense, and the true principles of the Constitution, which ought to regulste the pro ceedings in Parliament. It was urged by Mr. CRIIVEY that a reduction in the public expendi ture might be effected to the amount of st legit four millions, but the CHANCELLOR of the Excnt punt took that opportunity of informing the COM'. whole of the public services, the Ministers thought that a reduction to the amount of 0/42 was the utmost that could be expecied by the country. We fear that this statement by the Riaht Hon. Gentleman will be felt gener.'lly as a ,!sere disappointment to the hope. which the Nina'. Speech and the assurances of the Ministers hell out to the country. Upon the question of , cols tinning the list duty imposed on sugar, the Com mittee of Ways and Means divided— For the Duty Against it 43 Majority 3B Every one must feel very sensibly the import :rye of the debate which arose in the House of Coro mom on Thursday night, upon the mobile (if' ti..• Petition from Birmingham. It offered to the cc!, - sideration of the public the views entertained I.y some of our wisest and most eXperierced merchants, economists, and agriculturists, respecting the pre s•frit state of the country, bet was in no instance more worthy of attention than by proving that while all persons, not forming a part of the Ad ministration; concurred in acknowledging that every interest, commercial, agricultural, or me chanical, laboured under the most alarming distress. and were emulously throwing Out their impressions and suggestions upon the most effectual Menus of applying relief, the Miuisters alone seemed either unacquainted with the circumstances of the touts try, or were still uninformed upon the measures which it might be expedient to adopt. Mr. Ro- MESON was the only member of the Cabinet alio took a part in the discussion. His speech contained the singular avowal that it was not until recently that his mind was made up re seeding the expediency of the measures pursued by Parliament for enabling the Bank to resume its payments in cash. In point of fact, it appears that the Right Hon. Gentleman, who is the Pre. *Went of the Board of Trade, and to whose opi. nion, from his official rank, the House of Coco moms ought to pay especial deference, did nut wholly iiiiprove of that measure at the time when Parliament, on the suggestions of the Committees of both (louses, agreed to adopt the plin for the progressive improvement of the currency ; but in course of time his mind progressing, probably in proportion as the machinery of the plan approached to the completion of the great work, underwent that gradual change of opinion which induces him now in the second veer to approve highly of a scheme which in the commencement he thought to be no less reprehensible. We should like very much to know why the Honourable Member did not expresi his dissent to the plan when its expediency was under discussion. We admire his candour in admitting the alteration in his • sentiments, which, by the way, could not be altered without effecting at the same time a total change in all his principles of economy— in the very basis upon which that portion of his general knowledge is founded that qualifies him to fill the official situation with which he is now in vested. But we undoubtedly should prefer seeing a Gentleman in a situation of such nwful re sponsibility, whose opinions and principles of • political science did not remain to be formed until after his friends had found it convenient to clothe him with the dignity of such an office. Mr. Itootsrsotes speeds was further re markable only by the expression of his unwilling ness to enter into the examination of the topics alluded to by the preceding speakers. We are in formed by Lord LIVERPOOL that the feeling enter. tamed by the Cabinet upon the subject of the affairs of trade, &c. is decidedly opposed to all legislative interference. Mr. Rontusex, however, hesitated to go so far, but he did not the less die. countenance the expectation of any relief to the country through the instruinentsfity of the Go. vernmesit. In the debate a anggestion was thrown out re 'peeling the propriety of reducing the interest or the national debt, from the idea that the value of property in the public funds was very much in creased, in consequence of the plan for the restora tion of a metallic currency. No man in the empire who seriously considered the mass of injustice to individuals that must be caused by such a measure. would ever propose it to the attention of Parliament. 1-low could a line be drawn to distinguish those who gained by the improvement in the value of fixed annuities, from those who, having purchased under less favourable circumstances, stood in cir cumstances totally different ? A man who porches cif stock within the last two years has prolinbly great cause to congratulate himself upon his tee - gaits, and yet he must be placed in the same scale with one who purchased during the most propitiois. period of the war, and be equally deprived of a certain portion—not of his income, rent, or annual interest—but of his capitol. The diminution of the interest on the public debt every one knows, or might to know if he speak about the matter, is no. thing more nor less than the proportiooate diminu tion of the capital or debt itself: one represents the other, and when the credit and security of a government are well established, 'At interest of the public debt, circumstanced iglevety respect as is the publie . tiebt of this empisehio emulated .. - cursoo. stun . it.
