An immediate decision on the question would be beneficial to the country in every point of view. Mr. WHITMORE briefly replied.

The suspension of the intercourse be. tween the two countries must have been productive of so much loss and inconvenience to the people of Portugal, that we can readily conceive they have heard with great pleasure that the former relations are about to be removed. The event will likewise have important political consequences. How can the infatuated FERDIN AND persist in his senseless re fusal to accede to irresistible events, with the prudent ex ample of Joan VI. before him, to admonish him of his inexcusable folly ? • - _ The Corn Laws were last night brought under distussion in the House of C01M1301211, pursuant to notice, by Mr. W. Witirstoex. These laws, the Hon. Gentleman argued, are a glaring exception to the principles of free trade which Parliament professed lb hold. The evils they inflicted, be contended, applied not only to this country, but to all Europe. They diminished production universally, and made us dependent for our supply upon the seasons. The great stocks that existed a few years ago were now so much decreased, that in case of a dearth we should find it exceedingly difficult to get from dab whole world corn sufficient for our consumption. England was the grand regulator of agricultural as well as of manufacturing pro duce. It was his opinion that our Corn Laws had pro duced the most injui ions effects opmt the cultivation abroad. 'Peeduetion was not teeping pace with-consumption. In Poland the growth of corn had much decreased, sod the cultivators had been compelled to produce other articles which we would admit. The consequence was that there had been a vast increase in the importation of wool, tallow, and flax. The high price of corn, by raising the wages of labour, diminished the profits of capital. The great ness of England was owing to its capital. In respect of population and extent, we were only a second or a third rate power, but our vast capital had enabled us to contend with all the other powers united against us. It was her capital alone that gave to England the weight she pos sessed in the scale of nations ; and if it was the object of Parliament to preserve her station, it should also be their object to preserve her capital. The Hon. Me.nber con cluded with moving that the House tiould resolve itself into a Committee to consider the Corn Laws. The motion was seconded by Lord Micro t 4. Mr. Gooch opposed the motion. He considered that both the growers and con sumers of corn had been satisfied for the last six yrs" during which period the average price of Wheat bad been only .58 shillings and three pence, which he thought not too high to remunerate the agriculturists, considering the heavy charges of various kinds that fell exclusively upon them. He admitted, however, that 60s. was now as good a protecting price as SOs. a few years ago; but he objected to have the Corn Laws tampered with, as, upon the whole, in his opinion they had worked well. He therefore moved the previous question, by way of amendment. After some remarks from Mr. Cuawzie and Lord Ox statiroww, Mr. Huseissorr addressed the House. He differed from the Honourable Mover only in degree, manner, and time ; in principle he perfectly concurred with him. The Right Honourable Gentleman said, that his views upon this very important question were those stated in the Report of 1821. In a clear and able style, the President of the Board of Trade then proceeded to explain the reasons why he was averse from the cmsideration of the subject during the present Session . The debate was afterwards continued for several hours, not Ulrl derstand Mr. Iluattissox's intentions; but neither could they understand the Report of 1821. It is something strange to hear the President of the Board of Trade charged with obscurity. But no artifice is so common as to pretend not to understand what we dislike. " None are so blind"—the proverb is rather too musty to be repeated. An abortive attempt was made by Colonel JOHNSON to obtain an adjournment of the debate. At half-past one o'clock this morning the House divided, when there appeared, for the original motion 47, against it 187. It was lost, consequently, by a majority of 140. CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. The Money Markets still continue languid, and but little busi ness doing in any of them. Consols were worse to-day than yester day ; the Account Bargains being done at 923 3, and those for Money at 923 3. In the Foreign Market there was an improvement upon yester day's quotation, both in Greek and Spanish securities. Greek Bonds were done at 523, and the Scrip at 4N. The Old Spanish Bonds were as high as 243 3, and those issued in 1023 were at 19. The Impression this morning was very strong that a new Spanish Doan would be announced at no very distant period. South Ame rican Securities suffered a slight depression ; Colombian Bonds were at 89f, and 31exican Scrip from 3to 3 discount. The decline' , in the latter, however, had no connection with the absurd story' published by a Morning Paper, in its most distinguished place, as intelligence of unquestionable authenticity. The whole of that relation is absolutely groundless. The Chronicle is very unfor tunate in its foreign news. It is never right even by accident. If by a rare kind of good fortune it was to obtain any ex clusive information from abroad, nobody would believe it till it was corroborated by some other paper. Its leading article on Mexico to-day was treated with universal contempt, and deservedly so, for there was not a word of truth in it. The trifling decline in South American Securities may be more correctly traced to circum. stances connected with the settling day in the Foreign Market to morrow. Brazil Scrip remained at yesterday's price, 2 premium. Danish Scrip was a shade heavier than yesterday ; it was 21 2. The transactions in the Share Market were by and means exten. sive. The principal ones were in the New Potosi ..shares, which were done at 43 5 premium. There were also a few bargains in the Pasco-Peruvian Company at 14. Both Sugar and Coffee went off heavily to-day in Mincing-lane. A letter from Mexico, dated 9th February, says:—" The Castle of St. Juan d'Ullao has received reinforcements from the Havannah, which arrived on the intli January. We now see no prospect of that place being speedily given up, and must depend upon Alvarado for some time to come." Letters from Havannah mention their having fallen very heavy rains, with tremendous hail storms; so much so that the roads were impassable, and it was feared the crops of sugar would be seriously injured.' In the House of Assembly of Lower Canada, on the 11th instant, a committee reported that " the commercial intercourse between this province and the United States would be considerably improved, to the advantage of his Majesty's subjects in this province, by permitting United States flour to be entered under bond for exportation, which might be exported from the ports of Quebec and Montreal free of duty, but should be chargeable with the existing duties in cue of its consumption in this province; and that all articles whereof the importation into this province from the United States is permitted by law, should be per mitted to be imported into this province by inland naviga tion, in crafts or vessels of any description whatever. It was resolved on the same day, that to encourage the inter course between Quebec and Halifax, it is expedient to grant the sum of 5001. annually for three years, to the first person or company who shall cause a steam vessel of 500 tons or upwards to be built and regularly navigated between those ports." A letter from Rostock, which was formerly one of the Hanseatic Towns, states, that " the happy com merc i a l in telligence from London respecting the extraordinary and remarkable changes in the British prohibitory laws, have given new life to the town and port." Several Jewish traders had commenced going from house to house to buy up the wool for exportation. The reduction of the import duty on iron, by the British Goverment, has depressed the price of raw iron in Sweden in the same proportion. Majority against the motion - 140 The dther Orders of the D a were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Two o' k. PRICES OF BRITISH Rink Stock 232/ 33 3 per Cent. Red. 911 I per Cent.

The Paris Morning P' of Tuesda: are quite filled 2apers _ ty with the debate in the Chamber of Deputies on the pre ceding. i,, rsiative to the scandalous transaction et VuriAiD. M. DE LA BOURDONNAYE opened the discus sion with a speech strongly condemnatory of the Ministry for their connection with OuvaARD; and in order that the Chamber might not be required to pass accounts impli cated with these corrupt proceedings, he moved that the consideration of the expenses of the war department for 1823 be postponed till the criminal tribunals had given judgment against OuVIARD and his accomplices. M. De VILLELE replied to this speech, and insisted that the Chamber was bound to give their opinion at once upon the I accounts laid before them. General FOY then addressed the Chamber at considerable length, and with great se verity, against the Ministry. M. DE VILLELE replied again, but in a subdued voice, and with an embarrassed sisaner. The Members several times called upon him to speak louder. The debate was adjourned, many Deputies being inscribed upon the list, for the purpose of being heard on the subject. On Wednesday a notification was commu nicated from the Kix° to the President of the Chamber of Deputies respecting the coronation. This solemnity, it appears, is certainly fixed for the 29th of May. Besides the Grand Deputation of the Chambers, there will be ac commodations prepared for 100 other members. The Monikur of Tuesday contains no official article, except a repetition of that relative to ships captured by the Spaniards. I.From the Etoik, dated WednesdaY•l PARIS, Aver/. 28.

NEW HALL, CHRIST'S HOSPITAL. Yesterday the first stone of the intended new edifice at Christ's Hospital was laid by his Royal Highness the Duke of York. acting as proxy for his Majesty. The area of the building, which was surrounded by five temporary galleries, covered in with a canvass awning, and decorated with flags, presented a very imposing spec. taele: one of the galleries being appropriated to the schllars of the , Institution, and the remaining tour set apart for the spectators and visitors. o early as one o'clock, there could not have been fewer that from fourteen to fifteen hundred persona assembled, including the bop Ohba Hospital, who amounted to about six hundred. The slimes No allot the most respectable class, and the rich dresses of es ismoisa ve to the scene a lightness and brilliancy of effect 'Moat egaaOd in a day-light assembly. At exactly half an hour past two, the band of the Foot Guards, which was stationed in a temporary orchestra erected for the put. pose, struck up " The Duke of York's March ;" the Royal stand ard was raised, and his Royal Highness, attended by the Bishops of London and Chester, the City authorities, and his suite, entered the enclosed space and proceeded to the platform, where the stone was prepared. The spectators immediately rose to welcome the Royal visitor, as did the boys of the establishment, and all conti. nued standing and uncovered till the close of the ceremony. All the houses which commanded a view of the scene were crowded with spectators. The band played the 100th Psalm, in which they were . joined ky the voices of the children. The bells of du neighbouring steeples pealed loudly, and the united effect of the whole was exceedingly striking and impressive. After the Bishop of London had read a form of prayer composed for the occasion, the boys making the responses, Dr. Trollope, Head Master of the Hospital, read the inscription on the stone, in Latin, of which the following is a translation : The first Stone of this Edifice, erected for the use of the Children educated in Christ's IlospitiJ, founded under Royal auspices in the Reign of Edward the Sixth, enlarged by the munificence of Charles the Second, and supported by the most gracious Patronage of succeeding Kings, was laid, according to the Pleasure of his Most August Majesty, GEORGE THE FOURTH, by his Brother. the Most Illustrious Prince, FREDERICK, Puke of York, acting in his Majesty's own behalf, the twenty-eighth day of April, in the year of our Lord mncccxxv. May the great and good God grant, that the event may prove fortunate, auspicious, and happy. Sir William Curtis, Bart. President. Thomas Poynder, Esq. Treasurer. Arthur William Trollope, D.D. Head Master. Thomas Wilby, Esq. Chief Clerk. John Shaw, Esq. F.A.S. Architect. His Royal Highness then proceeded to lay the first stone with the usual ceremonies ; which being completed, the boys gave three cheers, the band played " God save the King," in which they were joined as before, and at the close the Royal Duke withdrew, amid the most enthusiastic demonstrations of respect from the spectators. which he acknowledged in his customary gracious and condescend ing mama. Hie loyal Highness was dressed in a plain blue coat, and wore the Stat sad Garter he looked extrmel c 7 h ; n rell, and was attended _ _ _ . ty. by Sir WM.

Sir William Inglis and Lady Inglis will leave their resi dence on the New Steine this week, for town. During the celebrations in honour of the anniversary of his Majesty's birth-day, at Plymouth, Lord Grey and General Mina were observed together in the balcony of the Governor's house. ('hief Justice Best is suffering to such an extent from de bility in his legs and feet, that he is obliged to be lifted in and out of Ins carriage, and to be carried by two persons into Court. Mr. Lane Fox, M.P. (who is now residing at Paris) and Mr. Wyvill, M.P. arc named as likely to be candidates for one of the Ridings of Yorkshire at the next general elm tion.—York Col. Davis has announced his intention of again offering himself to represent the city of Worcester, when a dissolu tion of Parliament takes place. Jobn Leslie, Esq. was on Monday sworn into the Sow.- reignship of Clonakilty, vacated by the Rev.. C. Townsend, who did not consider its duties compatible with his sacred office. Miss Foote had ISO guineas at her benefit at Bristol on Monday, and divided the clear receipt of the three other nights, thus realising 300 guineas for four nights. Mr. Abbott has engaged Miss Foote to perform in Dublin for thirteen nights, immediately on the close of her London engagement, for which she is to receive 1,000 guineas. It is expected that the two wings of the King's Palace, Pimlico, together with the outbuildings attached to the Palace, will shortly be pulled down. Mr. Nash, the archi tect, and Mr. Eversfield, were busily engaged on Monday and Tuestbiy last in surveying the apartments, and a notice has been given to the inmates residing in the above build ings, to remove from them immediately. Mii MISS WOOLRTCH'S CONCERT. This young lady had raised considerable expectations, from the teputation, in private Circles, of her musical ta lent; and her first public performance last night fully grs tilled them. Her duet on the harp was not thfficult of execution, but she evidently showed that her powers were more than equal to it ; she was accompanied by Mr. Ni. cholson on the flute in his very x first style of excellence. The Irish air of " Grameeh ree was iutroduced with ad. mirable effect. The overawe from Mozart was not well chosen; there was a monotony about it. which is pot com mon in the works of that great composer. Indeed, the subjects of which the Cotten conristdd was by no meand well selected; their want of interest was evident from the slight applause which followed,- tbem ; it was ins,. nifestly the applause of courtesy rather than of feeling. The ballad by Huntly was buf a milk-and-water ditty, and was sung by him without either spirit or effect : the pcetry was quite of the old Vauxhall school.. The Terzetto (Con Riepeuo), by Signora Cu rioni, Sole, and Remorini, did not tell; their attempt to throw comic action into it, when the words were not translatable into anything of English hum our, gave the trio a east of millcal buffoonery, which hid ben bet. ter avoided. Singing and acting is not a compound suited to the Argyll Rooms ; the Italians are very apt to mistake their forte in this way ; it is acceptable enough to their own countrymen, but an English audience have no relish for it. • Curioni's ton es are powerful and rich; his duetto with Mademoiselle Ferts Mikel was well mana,geA, and the young lady displayed a very finished style of sing. ing throughout the whole. of her part, in which there were some passages of no essT execution. It was her first ap pearance too, which enttled her success to a greater share 'of praise. The Quartetto, by MisaStephena, Miss Betti e and Signors Sala and flentoriiti, brought all their separate* qualities and powers into ac t ion ; but they were over powered by the orchestra—it was a struggle between the voices and the instrumental accompanilnents, in which the latter were triumphant almost throughout. Mrs. Salmon sang " Sweet maid," with all her exertions to please, anti she succeeded, as she always does, most effectually. She was accompanied by Miss Woolrych oe the harp, with great precision and with much sweetness of effect. She played with a delicacy and grace that drew forth, most deservedly, the most clieeritig and reiterated plaudits. i fije rooms were crowded with persons of rank and fashion. Many returned without being able to procure admiailon. TILE 'GREER& 17th Austria* Ob s e rver ofthe 17th inst. gives an account of the landing of the Egyptian forces between Coron and Ilodon, which it represents as a very important transaction, foreboding the conquest of the Peninsula. It proceeds thus : " The expedition against the Mores has abundance of provisions and ammunition. The Pasha of Egypt has formed imm e n se ma gatines.at Landis , Rhodes, and oth er Places, so that whatevet may be the result of the enterprise, it will not fail from famine, as Dram Ali did in 1822. " The accounts from Reschid Pacha are also favourable. lie had full powers to do any thing to reconcile the Albanian Chiefs with the Porte, and has succeeded chiefly by promising to restore to a primitive state the ancient family fiefa, which theSultast, by Me imprudent counsel of flatlet Effendi, had reduced to subaltern go.. vemments. This prudent conduct having induced the Albanians to assist him with all their efforts, the Porte hopes he will knitted,- ately proceed with a large army, and open the campaign by the taking of Missolonghi.• " The Dey of Algiers has sent to the Sultan 1.300,000 Turkish piastres, and announcing that he was going to send to sea 12 ships of war, among which would be one of 60 guns, and two frigates 4" " The Janissaries are perfectly quiet. The Chiefs of the four Grum have been pardoned. The Avgsturgh Gazette of the 22d inst. states, that letters had been received there from Constantinople, dated the 26th of March. It observes, " The Turks made a great boast of their preparation', as usual at the beginning of every campaign, which hitherto has not hindered them from being shamefully beaten. But it does not escape the Christian members at Constantinople, that the Divan, very uneasy at the conferences at St. Petersburgh and Paris rela tive to Greece, neglects nothing to avert the consequences, by re presenting the approaching campaign as being destined without doubt to ensure the final triumph of the Ottoman arms, and the entire submission of Greece. • If we look at the Austria's (gurus,. of 1821, 1822. 1823, and 1/C4, we shall find the saint phrase at the tame epoch to lead to the same denouement, the ignominious retreat of the Turks at the sod of *wiry earepalga. t The Christian Powers who condescend to pay tributreand give to the African pirate* ships of war and naval stores, may see how these barbarians use them against other Christian people i—Noies of Etuite. AMERICAN PAPERS. Last night we received files of New York Papers to the 2d inst. Their contents are uninteresting. AMERICAN NAVY. A long report from the Secretary of the Navy in answer to sundry inquiries ioade by the Senate,Juis been publisb c d in the Notiowoi lottelligrrecer, the material part of which relates to sundry recom mendations from that officer, es— t. A regular and systematic organization of the navy, which haw never yet been done, by a law specifying the duties and annexing the penalties for disobedience. Congress have never yet systemati cally legislated on this subject ; it has only been done by bits and scraps of legislation. 2. Supposing such a law made, rules and regulations growing out of it Would naturally arise, having a better and more sure foun dation than them hastily framed by the Naval Department. 3. A revision of the law for the better government of the navy, with a plainer designation of crimes and punishments. This as slurred over at present in an unlegislative mode, stating offences its such indefinite terms, as well as punishments, that the officer scarcely knows when he has offended, or the Court what penalty to affix. The punishrhents it is proposed to graduate thus[—pnvate reprimands—public reprimands in various grades--suspension from duty, sometimes with pay, sometimes without--dismissien front service—and, last of all, death ; all or any of which may now be in. flitted by Naval Courts Martial, on crimes so loosely defined by law 4. A permanent Judge Advocate to be appointed both for the Army and Navy—to give a Naval Court power to compel the at tendance of witnesses. 5. That an Academy be formed for the education of young Of. fleas. This is pressed with peculiar force; the maintenance of the American character abroad—the high and important duties often entrusted to our Naval Officers—the necessity that exists that they should be well acquainted with the science of naval architec ture in all its branches. 6. The establishment of a Marine Corps, with duties corm. epondent to those of the Army. MR. MONROE. [From the National Jwirnal, March 24.1 James Monroe, late President of the United States, left the city yesterday, escorted by Major Andrews' Dragoons, and accompanied by the President, the principal officers of the Government. and a number of our citizens, who had paid him a visit in the morning, as an evidence of their continded respect, and to bid hint farewell. Among the incidents peculiar to our Republic, this, unimportant as it may appear to those at a distance, is not the least interesting. Mr. Monroe, who • short time sine* was the Chief Magistrate of the Union, and who had for eight years pant guided the helm of State, was now, under the operation of our laws, retiring from an oMee second in dignity to none in the world, to mix again with his fellow-citizens, and to become once more one of the people.
