Moly it was 4,000 dollars, but it had been doubled; making it about 2,000/. The Member,' of the Le. gitlative Assembly had formerly a small allowance when they attended ; they sow received 100 dollars per month, and were furnished with quarters at the public expense. The answer to an Order *of that Hoarse, on the motion of a gallant Officer (Colonel Davies) who sat near him, fur a return of the number of militia actually embodied in the lonian Islands, was, that the Government had not found it necessary to call oat the militia. He would • put it to the Hoe'. Gentleman opposite, whether it would not have been a more proper answer to have said, that there were no militia at all; and yet. there were six Inspectors of Militia, with salaries amounting to 3,0001. The fortress of Santa Maur had been repaired at an expense of forty four thousand dollars from this country, on the express promise of repayment. But that sum had been remitted, upon a representation made by the Lord High Commissiniser, and teat at a time when • sumptuous palace was building for 'his residence, which would take several years to complete, at an expense of 80.000 i. dollar.. A lOW Order of Knighthood had been established, the Order of St. George and St. Michael, of which the Lord High Commissioner was Grand Master, and the Parliament bad voted him a Star of the Order, of the value of 40,000 dollars. The man ner io which the tuxes were exacted, arid the partial administration of the strain, of the Republic, by tug all the higher . offices with friends and reletives of the Lord High Coinasissioeier from England, hail excited the greatest dislike against this country. Taxes which had been imposed during the non-ses sion of Parliament by the sole authority of the GO. veruor, had led to the most disastrous consequeoces, se had been acknowledged by him in his speech to the Leigislat ore, who had after wards repealed them. A great many individuals bail been arrested and conveyed away, no one knew whither, for au attempt to resist an order of the Lord High Commissioner, far the confiscation of the Church Lands, and appropriating thew so purposes very different from those for which they were intended. A useless Staff was kept up at an extravagant rate, sod the (louse would not do its duty to the country if it allowed a giggle shilling more to be ',wird to the sup port of the military establishment of those Islands until they had before them an account of the manner in which the revenues of the Islands were expended. • Noble Lord had affirmed, that no additional imposts had been laid on in the Islands. If that were the fact, which he did not believe, there could he ou objection to produce the accounts, which would exculpate the Governor from that charge. He remarked upon the extreme in. convenience of the present scheme of duties, the Tariff being different in every islarid, instead of being the same throughout the whole. The Hon. Gentleman then concluded by moving an Address to his Majors) , for an Abstract of the Revenue and Expenditure of the lonian Islands, distiugutahing the civil slid military expenditure for each of the years 1817, 1818. and 1819. Mr. GouLsuxa said, he believed, that formerly ashen* Member moved for papers, it was usual to reserve any discussion on the matters to which they referred until after they were laid on the table, un less their production was opposed. The Hon. Gentleman opposite had, however, of late intro duced the novel practice of discussing the whole question which could be raised upon the papers for which lie moved, and of entering into a wide detail of staterneists concerning the matters to which they referred, without waiting to see how far the docu ments fur which he moved would confirm the infor mation which he might have received. The error into which the Hon. Gentleman had fallen in making many of these charges against Sir T. Mait land, arose from his misunderstanding of the nature of the office which he held. If he had read the constitution of the lonian Islands, he would have found that tautly or the acts of which he com plained were the acts of the Executive branch of the State. which was entirely distinct from the au thority of Sir Thomas Nlastland. who merely. pow sewed the power of a Veto in some pint-011er cases. Thu unexprcted nature of abuse statements, and the wide extent of their range, rendered it impossible for him to follow the Honourable Gentleman through all his details ; on some of the points, however, he would endeavour to meet him. .fle admitted that there had been ass increase of re venue, and a nominal increase of expenditure. The increase of revenue was produced not by addi tional imposts, but by an alteration of the mode of collecting, and by the care taken to prevent the sums collected for the revenue from finding their way, as they had formerly too forquently dom., into the pockets of private iiidsvidnalr.—(Cheers.)— The increase in the charges of the colketioss, in coissertuence of the additional salaries, could hardly be called an increase of the expenditure since it had secured a very large actual inc r f the re venue. The Honourable Gentlentan had attributed • -I his increase to the confiscation of church property; but so far from any such confiscation, the uttsio-t endeavour of the Lord High Commissioner had been exerted to rescue the property from the hoods of• those who had improperly become possessed of it, mid to apply it to the support of the Clergy...- (Neer, hear.)—This had of course excited the tll will of those who Mlle compelled to give up that -which did not belnfig so them, and th•, eadea •ioured to excite the people to resistance, under the pretext that it sews intended to confiscate the Church property; to tchicl► they added, as an addi tional excitemeut, ,a report winch furnished an an swer to the statement of the Honourable Gentle. man about the militia, far they caused tt to be circulated that the Government celled out the militia for the purpose of rending whole regiments of them to the West Italie.. The Hun. Gentleman then proceeded to reply se riatim. to the several ►tatements which had bevy mode. The salary of the head of the Senate was 1.0001. instead of 2,0001. as stated. The hrgher t•fi'iees were siot filled by relation• of Sir Thwors Maitland ; and if the ►au►r perso►► filled ►note than one situation, he did the duties of all, but received only the pay ()I one. The Hon. Member scented to have been misled into his statement reverting the palace, by not knowing that the Julian word palazzo did not alwa)s convey thesettecofthetngi. Itch term palace. The fact was, that the Senate thought it would be more convenient tl►yt the place of the sittings of the Legislative Assembly a • NR.T...TI should he distinct from the tesidence of the Lord High Commissioner,. sod the building alluded to I had beet► ordered in consequence of their decision. The palace of the Lord High Commissioner: hitherto consisted of a single bed-room for himself, with a room fur hie Secretary,- and a drawing-room,. where the Legislative Assembly held its sittings. lie had indeed much dirappointed the notions which some of his friends had formed of his state and splendour, by assuring them that when he went to open the Perliannen►t, he had only to step out of his bed-iortin into the hall of the Legislative Assembly, With respect to the expense of the star of Saint Michael, there was a little ex aggeration. If the Honourable Member had read the Commissioner's answer to the Address of the Legislature, cutiveyisig the vote of a star of 40,000 dollars, lie Ismail have found that, after re peated refusal. of grants offered him, he had con sented to accept a star of one fourth that value. -The charge of placing unfit persons in office must, he should think, have been suggested by some per son whose longings for an appointment of some sort had been disappo►nted, The same persons who had been appointed under the Russian Go vernment mostly held the appointments at present, and he would give the Hoe. Gentlemen the fulle►t infurmstioo respecting the few exceptions, if lie would point them out individually. The duties said to have been imposed by the Lord High Coin n►iaiouer were in fact imposed by the Senate, who were authorised by the Constitution so to do during the non-session of Parliament, at the instance of the principal inhabitant- of Santii-Moms ; but it being afterwards found that those imposts were op pressive to the lower orders, they were modified. The Hon. Member ha , ' asked why the Republic was not called upon► to defray the expenses of the military establishment ? By the Treaty it was stipulated that each island should pay a part proportionate to its revenue end the other branches of its expen diture. Now, recording to the Hon. Membe►'s own statement, the expense of the military esta blishment for the first year wits 140,0001. ; the revenue, at that period, did not exceed 80,000/. . If, therefore. the plan of the Honourable Mem ber had been adopted, not ouly would the whole revenue of the islando'have been swept into the military chest, without ally allowance for the other branches of the State, but recourse must have been had to a forced loan, and the inhabitants would ha►e been made to deplore the protection► of this country as the greatest curse that could have befallen them. They luid, however, defrayed a consi derable portion of the expense ; the- revenue would, no doubt. improve. and in proportion as it did, so would the expense to this country be (lion , Dished. With respect to the motion of the Honourable Member, he should not hare the least objection to afford all the information re , quired by him which the Government of this country possessed. Bat the case of the lonian Islands was in this respect to be considered as at least on an equal footing with those of our Colo nies, which had a Legislature of their own ; and the service of any order of that House upon the officers of these would amount to a violation of their pri slimes. and of the independence of the Republic of the lonian Islands. Colonel DAVIES said, it was not his intention to detain the house for any length of time, but the Hon. Gentleman opposite had met the arguments of his Hon. Friend as was usual by him and his colleague+, by broad assertions. By the 12th Arti cle of the Treaty, the Government of the lonian I•laitds was to support and pay 3,000 British troops, aid he understood from the Hon. Gentlemou that a reoimerit wits sent from Melia to the lonian Islands, because living wits cheaper in the latter place, and of course the Government of the lonian Wends w■s not bound to pay that regiment. He would ask, why the regiment was sent !rum Malta ? If it was not wanted there, why was it not di.- banded ? lie concluded by saying lie would sup port the motion. Mr. GOULBURN explained. Lord CASTLIMILIGUI said, after the able ex _ ' planation of his Hon. Friend, which to him was so satisfactory, it was almost unnecessary for him to say a single word; lie could not, howe►er, avoid thanking the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Hume) for having made the motion, as the answer to it would be a quietus to rumours that had gone ahrood in the Mediterranean and elsewhere.— He would he happy to assist the Honou►able Gentleman in his career of inquiry fur the purpose of economy ; hut lie wished, before he made his stattinents, thet he would put himself in possession of better information. He was con vitietil there was not a better or more vigilant officer in his Majesty's service than S►r Thomas Maitland, or one that put his face so touch against what were called job•. ►Mr. BERNAL and Sir HENRY PARNELL support ed the motion. Lord CASTLEREAGH and Colonel DAVIES ex. Mr. (Intim shortly replied. • Mr. GOULBURN said. he would take the respon sibility of assuring the Hon. Gentleman, that the Home should hove ill the information he moved for. The motion was theta put and carried. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL asked leave to bring I in a Dill for the further expediting the husitie.s of the Court of King's Bench.—Leave given. FOREIGN TRADE. Sir G. CLERK inovtil that the Committees on Foreign 'Trade should sit, nut withstanding the ad . jotarinnetit of the House, and to have leave to relent horn tune to titne.—Agreed to. The other Orders or the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Twelve o'Clock to Monday. On Wednesday, t h e 14t.',1 instant, the Yarmouth Atiorning Star Coach *NA unfortunately overturned on its entrance nibs Set)le, utuntt time u'ekek in the morning, by which Accident several pa4aengers sus tented most serious injuiy.

RE, Bit NISH PRESS: LONDON, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1821. At a late hour last night we received the Paris Papers of Tuesday. The Mowiteur contains a Pro-• clamatiun of General Fhisiorrr, Commander of the Austrian army of Italy. preparatory to the passage of the Po. This document, which is dat ed Padua, the 4th instant. fully refutes the reports stating that the passage of that river had actually taken place.—The Funds hays risen. The Five per Cent. Consuls are 84 f. 's3' c. Bank Ac tions, 1,300 f. A Flanders mail arrived last night with papers from Brus.elr to the 20iii instant. They contain no intelligence of any interest. The Earl of DONOUGHMORE has 6zed the Bth of March for the Catholic Question in the Houpe of Lords. A new KING and an unpledged Par— liament were noticed by the Noble Earl as two new circumstances to its favour. It is, we think, much to be lamented as an event eir. evil augury to the liberties of the people, that the House of Commons should, on a review of the military outrage recently perpetrated at kiltuain ham by the command of the High Sheriff of the County of Dublin, determine that it was not a case to justify parliamentary interference. The de cision too is the more to be lamented, as the matter was brought before Parliament upon a Petition couched in the most moderate terms, and by a noblemau whose speech was not less distinguished iyr a sound and temperate judgment, thaw by its titirit and eloquence. No preteuce, therefore, was iffered, that the House of Commons, in taking Cie "otter into their more immediate consideration, would he ministering to political or personal vio lence, or gratifying the indulgence of private ran cour. The Petitioners, and the Noble Lord who brought them before the House. could have been influenced by no other feelings than a desire to check a system that is but too common in Ireland, which unfortunately in one memorable case has beta too successfully introduced in practice in England. and which, if not reprobated and dis countenanced. may spread its baleful influence over every part of the empire. Mr. GRANT'S answer to Lord Joint Rummel; speech, although it offered, as we freely admit, a very sufficient ex cuse fur the Irish Government in the conduct pursued on the occasion by Lord TALBOT Slltl the Right Hon. Secretary, yet it strengthened, in pond of fact. the arguments urged by the Noble Mover in favour of parliamentary in quiry. Mr. GRaIIT utaterved, that there were contradictory and conflicting statements. This circumstance .was undoulnedly sufficient excuse fur the Government not to interfere by the re moval, punishment, or approbation of the She rift; but it furnished a more urgent cause for in- Miuister• soy, " Let the Petitiopers have recourse to a Court of Law if they conceive' themselves to be ageritved ;" but Cbll any elan ASSIO is honestly zealous for maintaining the tights of the people seriously think that a question of this nature can be tried at a Court of Quarter Sessiona. within the jurisdictiou of which it would properly AIMS unless removed. into th e Kilioe.
