ent the bat _Ayes, sob-- 7`. oty, 3 I LONDON, FRIDAY. litY 19. rem - lenol. per annum as a salary for eerriees to be per. But it the Gentleman bed, by any act of forfeited the yearly maiary—yet that was no reason the country should break its faith with an individual, whilst it was deriving the benefit of his ingenuity. On the evidence betore the House, it wou ld appear thle coati:let had been broken long before the passing of the letters just then vend. Should Mr. Muter now be judged by the letters of a correspondence, written by an angry man, anti betrayed to the public by the treachery of a villain ? There had appeared, previous to this cir cumstance, a disposition to remove Mr. P. from his situation. The postmaster had invaded sonic of his apartment;, and had renaired his key. The refusal of this key created a l i narrel, and tficy soon after found out a key for his dismissal. Hence he should move thr the substitutiun of the allowance of two and half per cent. oil the total increase, in stead of the annual income of i,aool. per asthma. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, be felt the principle laid down by his Hon. Friend, with respect to the remuneration of public services, extremely dangerous. Though lie admitted that no claim of this nature had ever been brought before that House under more favourable auspices, from the taleat and extreme delicacy with which the claim has been urged, yet it would he in 16m a gross inattention to the 'duties of his situation, sitould he permit the arguments and statement of the Hall. Members, the original Mover, and his Hon. Friend, who moved the Amendment, to pass without remalk and refutation. He was of opinion, the salary and the emolument were both annexed to the situation. This would appear from the 16th page of the report. by Mr. Pitt's own evi dence, when he admitted that it was his intention to give him some public situation, in which lie might superintend the completion of his plan, and that he should be entitled to a per centage on the whole increase of the Post-Office revenues. He contended that the jastitication of Mr. Palmer's removal from office was not only made out by Mr. Paltuer's conduct, but his loss both of salary and emolument was a necessary consequence of' his beraeli of the terms of the agreement. The terms of the agreement skewed that the salary and emo lninent were a species of reward for past, and inducemeut for future services ; when. therefore, these services ware at an end, Mr. Palmer, of course, lost all claim to a continuation of either s.etry or emolument, if even the grant had passed wider the Great Seal. Hence the principle of his limn. Friend was altogether unjust, and inch con duct as Mr. Palmer's, he would assure him, would, in the Court of King's Bench, on a writ of seire fa cies, even render nugatory the grant under the King's letters patent. Mr. WINDHAM contended, that the claim of Mr. Palmer rested upon grounds of propriety, which the legal speech of the Learned Chancellor of the Exchequer could not subvert. There was, sit his opinion, no other consideration for the House than this, that in consequence of the improvements, if which Mr. Palmer was the author, great advan tage had accrued to the country, and he therefore Was entitled to the remuneration of the House. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT could not, until that night, conceive that the Right Hun. the Chancellor of the Exchequer would, in a question 'totally di vested of political interest, carry so much aenino mons feeling into the discussion. For his part, he was solely influenced by the Report of tbe Commit tee ; a report which, it should be recollected, had no inlittenee from party views, or created guy poli ticel objection whatever. The great service done to the country by Mr. Palmer was universally ad ; and frieudly as he was to the most econo mical expenditure of the public usoaey, he should ever consider it the duty of the public liberally to remunerate those who tad advanced either the ho sour or th. riaa i sinese of the uation. Mr. Gamuts JOHNSTONE argued against the claims of Mr. Pelee.., and endeavoured to clear the Learned Clmutellor of the Exchequer from the charge of being a party to the double system, so particularly recommen d e d in the present Sill. Lord HERB( Prnint expressed a disinclination to /:.spays on the Haus., but too:Right it his duty to give testimony on the part of Mr. Palmer, that there was not,iluring his continuance id office, any urgent seticit.si in.) by that Gentleman. lie co dered that lie had produced a great benefit, and ought to be remunerated in proportion as the inte rests of the country were advanced by the system which, upon his rceammendation, was carried into practice.

Recent acconota have been received from Spain. which are considered authentic. They state, that a meeting took place between fin —NAPA arE and the aww KING of SPAIN, nut at BAyOlllllO, as was sup- posed, but oa the frontiers of Spain, near Vittorio. At this i►►terview BONAPtItTE received FaantNAND with the greatest distinction, arknowledged hiss King of Spain and the Inches. and has confided to him the admi►istration of I'ortui. ; al, until the con elusion of• general peace. Spain it to joie in the Conte rli:ration of the Rhine, and to fuenith • eili tios,nt 4.50,000 mien. The late Kure and Qnsan are to be scut into France, under a very strong escort. With respect to the Pounce of the PEACE, nothing is, we understane., yet determined respect ing his fate. With respect to Portugal, although the nominal administration of it iv given to the news King of SPAIN, it is obvious that General Jutrcre will in reality be the Governor of that unfortunate country. The marriage between the new King of SPAIN and one of the Bon AAAAA Z family, it is said, Iladeinuiselle !'Acids, will shortly take place. We yesterday had to record a formidable Mimi tity of 107 against Ministers. We hare, this day, to announce that this Minority has swelled into a considerable Majority. There are, no doubt, iso lated questions, such as the Slave Trade, under the management of Mr. Prrr, in which a Minister does not tied himself less safe in his place, because he is left in a Minority. They are, however, occasions when lie wishes to give a Saturnalia to his de pendents ; when he wishes to amuse them with the semblance of independence. In the debate. last night, upon Mr. Patinas claim, we eee, however, no traces of a case in which the Minister was indifferent, and had ns objection to pe 't his followers to run riot for the day. We must, there fore, consider Mr. PALMER'S success, last night, a victory obtained over Ministers. Letters were received, yesterday, from the Cape of Good Hope, which mention that intelligence had arrived there from Calcutta, advising, the capture of the fortress of Gunore, the only hold DOONDEA had lett, by General DICKENS, without any less. DooNDE♦ and his followers were pur sued by the cavalry, but with what success was not known. The Duke of Next picket is arrived at Fal mouth, from the Leeward Island 4. She sailed from Tortola on the 10th of April.—The Ira&lng ham packet is also arrived at Falmouth, from the Mediterranean. She sailed from Gibraltar oil the Ist instant. The letters by both pockets vb ill be delivered to-morrow. We have received Madrid Gazettes to the 12th last. They contain Addresses of Congratulation to the new King from several public bodies. A very minute detail is also given, in one of the .Madrid Papers, of the manner in which the sword. ordered as a present from the new King to BON AL.• PARTE, was conveyed to Ashlar, received by that Officer, and sent off by him to BONAPARTE at Bayonne. His Massirex's ship Crocodile, arrived at Ports mouth from the Cape of Good Hope, sailed front thence about sth March. His MAJESTY'S Ship Procris arrived at the Cape on the ~ .loth February, from Portsmouth, and sailed again on 24th Feb. for ;he East Indies ; the Abandoute store-ship, and Sally transport, arrived at thz Cape on the 18th February. :rom Portsmouth; the Danish East Indiamaa Marisa, Capt. Koford, from Batavia ; a. 1 the Idarregaard, from Bengal, have been captured a sent into the Cape, the former by the Cormorant, and the latter by the Otter. La denommee frigate, of 38 guns, the arrival of which from the Mediterranean we mentioned on Wednesday, has brought an account, that ten sail of French line of battle ships and some frigates were seed by the Spartan en the Bth of April, off Sardi nia, steering down the Mediterranean, and that the Spanish squadron was at Port Mahon, watched by the Impertense, Lord COCURA NE. The fleet seen by the Spartan were NO doubt the combined Ton ion and Rochfort Squadrons. The PArenix, Capt. TAYLOR, from Jamaica, is arrived off the Wight. She parted from the Argms, Catharine, and Lord Chesterfield, fur London, in lat. :IS. The Lulls, for Dublin; the Ruby, —; William, —; ac rd Aurora, Lex o, for Dublin, sailed with the above, and put hack leaky. Dolinistars advised His Mazr.syy, yesterday, to sign a Proclamation. offering a reward of 1001. for the apprehension of Capt. Wm. Williams, late of the African ship the Croydon, who is charged on suspicion of the wilful murder of SAMUEL BARNES, at Charleston, in South Carolina. It is said that Captain Williams dicharged a pistol at a man, the shot from which only passed through his hat, but it proseeded, and killed the deceased. Yesterday, Mr. GILLMAN, tailor, of Grange court, Carey-street. put an end to Isis existence, by , cutting 'hie throat. He has left a widow and seven children to struggle against the torrent of misfortune. from which, unfortunately, his owe ex ertions could lint extricate them. The rioters who had assumed the name of Thrashers, have recommenced, within a few nights, their meetings, and committesl some acts of vio lence in the county of Roscommon. (hi Friday night last they held a meeting, near the residence of Sir EDWARD CROVTON, who, on being apprized of the circumstance, loot no time in preparing to en deavour to bring the offenders to justice. Though labouring under tonne personal infirmity, Sir EDWARD pot himself at the head of his servants and tenants, and, about eleven at night, came up with &large body of Thrashers at the ford of Kul twirls, who, on perceiving his approach, made dis positions for giving resistance. A conflict took place, in which three of those deluded wretches lost theirlives, and seven were taken prisoners. The remainder Bed in such consternation, that, it is hoped, they feel the danger of the courses they were pursuing, and will desist from any attempt to renew them. Pearce, the man convicted of an attempt to vonintit an abominable offence, stood, for the seoond time, yeatierdey, is the pillory• at Citaring-crnss. A great crowd wet collected.
