Jr.ll WILIIIMPOICI 81641, the question of these claims •h oily reduced itself to thi s: first, of a promise uadr. to compensate the suffering loyalists of All•flei, no mail could dooht that such s pro mise had b-rn made; and next, whether these per sons err- I.lyalists of that description, 'ma of this there could also be as little doen, 'since they hid been before recognised in that character by Poulin. ment fory *sears ago, by the judgment of the tri. banal' , at home, and also of the tributads• in America abroad, The (7wsticsaiiit of the Excwsottais said, right, jnatice„ and liberality would never be re- Insert iii that House. Every one who supported the claims assumed a pledge which lie contended *es not given in the preamble of the Bill of 1789. The Commanders of the army made large promise§, it was true, but then the success of the result was 'always considered in such promise.. Every sub ject of this country suffered a depreciation of his property by that war, and if the arguments of those who supported these claims were good for tiny thing, they wonlil go to the extent of freeing the American Loyalists, add them only, from any part Of the burden of the national calamities. Fje contended did the preamble of the Bill of 178.5 on ly promised itieh relief ha the country might be aisle to afraid. which bad already 'been granted. Noise of the American loyalists had received com pensation in full, except claimants of very small amount. Those who suffered greatly were coin prossted in very small proportion to their losses. 'That the claims now made had not been recom- peneed before, was attributable to the injustice of the American, and nit of our own Government. :lb use the words of the Act of 1783, the loyalists 'bad received such reliif as their services entitled tlxin to, and the country could best afford. Mr. W. SMITH supported the claims of the loyalists, and thought, upon every principle of na tional honour and good faith, that they ought to he grunted. There were 130,0004 per annum grunt ed in compensations to persons connected with the Ordnance, Victualling. and Navy Offices; and surely the country could afford • single 100,0001. to persons 'who had risked their lives and wasted their blood and property in the service of the country. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER explained. Mr. COURTENAT replied. The House divided— For the Motion..

Mr. Hume said that there could be no more dif ficulty i►► addressing the Crown to make the al, luaunce than in doir.g so in respect to the grant to one of the Royal Family, notice of winch had been given by the Noble Marqu►s opposite. The House would of course make prov►sion accordingly. Mr. C. W. WYNN' thought the objection of the Right Hon. Member (Mr. Huskissou) was rather of the latest, and at least that the subject should be allowed to go to a Committee. Mr. W. SMITH contended for the justice and propriety of granting the claims. Mr. CILEIVEY moved an amendment, that the House do now adjourn. The CHAnctt.l.ou of the EXCHEQUER and Mr. 'COURTENAY Said 11l for words each on the amend ment. Mr. BARRIE. thought, as the House was not very full, there ►hould be an intermediate stage before the substance df tin 'motion should be triltou into Mr. COURTKWAY said. that there would be ample opportunity for discussion in the instruc tion which would he moved for the Chairman of the Committee to prepare and move au Address to his Majesty on the occasion. Mr. P.. Nlootta urged the question of adjourn ment. Mr. BARING .aid a few words. Mr. CRELV EY said, that upon a question involv ing so considerable a grant of public money, he must divide the House. Mr. COURTZNAY said, that as there wa,► an ob j.ction on the ground of granting public money at so late an hour, it mattered not from what quarter 0r the House the 'intimation came, he considered himself bound to observe it, and withdraw his motion. The motion fur a Committee was withdrawn. Mr. Cu MYER postponed his motion for the repeal of the Ag'iculturel Horse Tax till Friday. Lord NIIITON postponed his motion respecting the repeal of the Wool Tax till Thursday (this day). The Order of the Day for the second reading of the Yorkshire Poll Bill being then read, a short discussion arose, in which Mr. Denman, Mr. S.

THE BRV!'ISH LONDON,. THURSDAY, Jima 7, mt. The Paris Papers of Sunday arrived ,list night. The following are extracts : FARM $Olll6 3. His Royal Highness the Duke of Angouleine is perfectly recovered from his late indisposition. The Emperor Alexander arrived at Warsaw in the night of the 19th of May, part of which he spent in transacting business with his Ministers, and set out next day for St. Peteriburgh, where he expected to arrive on the 23th. An article dated \Yarns', the 20th May. says-ii " The Russian and Polish troops which march towards Moldavia will there form a cordon to pre vent the Turks in pursuit of the Greek rebels from violating the Russian territory. The Emperor has besides, by the Treaties, of Peace of Szistowa and Bucharest, granted the immunities of the princi palities of Wallachia and Moldavia. Should the Porte, after suppressing the disturbances that pre vail there, attempt to organise • new government, it is indispensable that it should come to an under standing with Russia." Five per Cent. Consols 86 f. ; Bank Action• 1,580 I. Ta the House of Commons last night the Mar quis of LONDONDERRY brought down a communi cation from his Royal Highness the Dake of CLA RESICE. Previously to making it known, he moved that the Resolution of the Committee of Sunsly, of the 16th April, 1818, be read; after which he in formed the House that the 6,000/. per annum which the House then resolved to vote his Royal High ness, but which lie then, for reasons highly ho nourable t• himself, declined accepting, trig Royal Highness now, in consideration of the alteration of circumstances, was desirous of receiving, and in consequence he moved, that the consideration of the Resolution of 16th April, 1818, be referred to a Committee of the whole House on Friday nest (to-mo►row), which was agreed to.—We are surprised that this application has been so long de layed. It is a claim of strict justice. Since the resolution alluded to, his Royal Highness has become next presumptive heir but one to the Throne. Since that time he has married an interesting and amiable Princess, who lately gave birth to a royal infant, and affords hope and pro mise of a future family. Steady and uniform advocates ■s we are of economy, we cannot dis sent from this request. A suitable provision for the immediate branches of the Royal Family is very different from the accumulation of overgrown pen sions and sinecures : it is associated not only with the splendour of the Crown, but is essential to the grandeur and dignity of the country. The attention of the House was ■gain called to the Association calling itself ." Constitutional." Dr. LUSHINGTON presented • Petition from Mr. DOLBY, who, as our readers are aware, has been selected as un object of their " constitutional" vesigesince. The case of Mr. DOLBY is peculiarly herd, us will be seen by the statement of the Learned Gentleman to whom he intrusted his Petition. We should very much regret if the opposition w hich we have thought it our duty to express to. wards the Society which has vainly and unwarrant ably assumed the specious title of a " Constitu tional Association," should be confounded with any intention or desire upon our part to thew a personal disrespect to any of the individuals who have en rolled their names io the list of its members. %Ire have not looked through the list with much atten tion, but in a hasty glance which we threw over it we saw many names that omit and enjoy the esteem and regard of all parties in the community. For these persons we profess the sincerest respect, and although with many of them we have the misfor tune of differing in opinion upon the greater num ber of 'Lair political questions which for some years have employed the public mind of this country, we eau yet esteem the purity of their principles, and give them credit for sincerity and integrity. We lope, in return,. that our motives and principles swill be treated with the same candour and indul gence. But in the view which we have taken of this Society, it matters nothing who may have sanc tioned it by the authority of their lames; it is with the principle of such an and that we quar rel, nl not with its particular members. The re. .pectability of many or of all of them does not te. Isere thaws' from the imputation of having cow l gojo i msg a pit f lu f in judgment; and we doubt not • tile ‘,44 Nigi; 1.4141144%y theconditionS or tSrispo 1 of aye:hesocH rt s ru p .

The support of the 4' Association" is utiempiek to he made the test of loyalty, religion, and morality throughout the country ; and volumes of vulgar abuse, in which of course the old cant words. " sr" dition," " faction," and " bla.pherny," form • pro minent part, are heaped upon it. opponents. The Association is somewhat ludicrously represented as being synounnous . with laws, loyalty, and truth, and this position is urged with such retie mence, that one is tempted to wonder how the Go vernment has been enabled to exist so long without the special protection of so invaluable an institu tion. It might be conjectured by a stranger, from the very injudicious defence that is mark by its ad vocates fur this Society, that the question now in dispute is, whether the laws of the country 1.11611 or shall not be enforced. But this is slily thing but the point wider corisideration, for they who oppose the Association are far more friendly to the reign of the bows, and perhaps we might add, of loyalty and truth, than those who now dare to vilify their mo tives. The question the laws framed for the protection of the Government be put into motion at the discretion and will of the Government itself, or at the caprice of an unauthorised, unre cognised body of men ?—Shall offences against the State be prosecuted under the constitutional respon sibility of the King's Ministers, or by • self-consti tuted Association, who undertake to select for ostensible prosecution but certain ruin such of their fellow-subjects as to them or to their attorney may seem fit ? The dispute therefore lies not between the reign of law and isarchy, between religion and infidelity, between loyalty and sedi tion, but betwreu the recognised powers of the Constitution and the unauthorised assumptions of private persons. The laws will lose none of their vigour though this Association should be annulled, and the members composing it return to their pro per level in society. They forget their duties to the Government and to the country when they pre some to erect themselves into a distinct power in the State, arrogating on the one hand • discretion that belongs to the immediate. Officers of the Crown, and oppressing, upon the, other, such of their fel low-subjects as may chance to iucur the personal dislike of their agents or advisers'. We can easily conceive that many of the asso ciators assented to the formation of this Society from an impression that the Ministers of the Crown have been remiss in their duty. that the Arroa- PILY-ORNERAL ought to have been more active in filing informations, and that the penal lows ought to have been enforced with greater severity against offenders. How far they may have been judicious in thus censuring the Government without arty iuquiry into the circumstances that may have governed the discretion of the Ministers of the Crown, we shall not pretend to say ; but this is obvious, that one of the associators is • Cabinet Minister, that many of them are Members of Par, !lament, and that they might with ease have either induced the Ministers to display more activity, or hare complained its Parliament 'or their eilpible neglect. The evil which the associaton seek to remedy, is a certain remissness in enforcing the penal laws against libels; of this the public might possibly have some cause to complain, but there were other means of correcting it besideerntrenchiug upon the authority of the Crown, or exposing the faults of its officers before the public, by contrasting their indifference and remissness with the spirit and yeti- , vity of a private Association. Here is • practical libel upon the Government which deserves the notice of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL. A Lisbon Mail has arrived, with Papers from that city to the 26th last. In the sifting of the Cortes of the 24th, M. SERPA, on the part of the Committee appointed to examine various papers relative to the conduct of Portuguese Ministers and Agents in Foreign Courts, read a Report from the Committee, stating, that the Government having made the necessary communications to all, the first who excused himself was the Resident in Eng land, unless he received orders from his MAJESTY ; that the second was Jost ANSEL'S° CoIIREA, and those others who refused passports to vessels, and declared the Portuguese ports in a state of block ade; that the above CORREA and others had pub lished various papers, &c. which were direct libels on the nation, and might have done infinite mil— chief. The Committee thought their conduct should be considered as treason to the nation ; that they were in no =inner authorised by his MAJESTY; that their conduct merited punishment, but that there was no law to which they, could he rest• dered amenable ; but that the Cortes ought to.era sure their proceedings, and declare them incapable of being employed on foreign missions. it was resolved that the Report should be print ed, and the paper on which it was founded laid on the table to be examined by the Deputies. The Report of the Select Committee of the House of Commons upon the Lima relating to Vagrant., is given in another part of our Paper. Among other suggestions it recommends that the : , practice of passing vagrants to their places of set tlement he suspended for oue year from the let of September Om.
