A great &nosey was felt by gentlemen of the legal profession, Members of tbat ‘ House, when any allusion was made to the profession of the Aux 11r(Sir 11. Hardinge) - vus esightcted with many individuals pelunging so that profession, odd was little inclines to say anything illiberal of it ; but he did not conceive there was any illiberality in osbcluding that a disposition sometimes existed for unnecessary I,ln. lathe disc which formed the subject of discussion, the w. ill • and Arbuthnot's ex .nd fifty . other beat.

The 1' informing Sir -4f coalidencr, Iwo die Divs. Tan Deka of deopiesd the &nimble, open. brouglit - iportioa Of Win asserted the -; wu, which *sperm:tea Brougham) had ctice of t ai l e l n itlA name to diem to go to be bad, the honour and commit to effooo2ol3ll ~rant. As Adjutant " Sir T. ' their the ley „. But got ._. 14,0001. ? No loot *ram than 300,000/. This was good profit, when 14,0001. is laid out, and brings in 300.0001. The litigation, therefore, was not needless, although it should be thought expensive. Lord Moira caaimed a portion of the prize money; the Grand Army also claimed a portion ; but the Deccan Army succeeded against them. Irate (Mr. Brougham) should ever be so unfortunate as to enter a Court of Justice as • client, as he often did in another capacity, he amid with no better luck than to pay 14,00111. and gain 300,0001. It was the first time he had ever heard so successful a result com plained of. The How. Member had expressed his desire to see the tats biN. lie (Mr. Brougham) could not say bow much other Canons! had received, but tie had got three guineas for his opinion. This was his share of the booty. (Hear ) Three guineas was the value of his opinion—he meant tbe price of it--the value was pro bafily touch less. But to return to the subject. No complaint had been made by the officers of thy army against the Counsel or agents, and Sir E. Macgregor had expressed his decided appro. baton of their conduct. Now there was a curious circumstance which he (31r. Brougham) wished to point out. The name of Colonel Noble was sigt.ed to the petition presemed to the House • few nig'its ago. lie (Mr. B.) herd in his hand a letter from Col. Noble. the hand writing of which was strikingly different to that is which hiename was written in the petition. This was maw cetramdireary as be happened to know that Colonel Noble wad in tins Highlands of Scotland for three weeks before that widen was prmented to the House. Perhaps it had been signed by Colonel Noble three weeks before it was presented, but why so greet delay ? Was it necessary the promoters of the petition should take so long beating up for recruits ? Now as to Mr. Achesou, the solicitor, be had no interest !n advising litigation. If there had been farther ?thirstier, the proth would have gone to the solicitors of the trio , sury. Besides Mr. Acheson was advancing large sums of MODS”, therefore he was throtriog good money after bad, sad that not for bra owo profit. but the . protit of the Treasury aolicitors. It was said that th e [hike of 11 ellington had no objection to show tbe spas to any but legal gentlemen. The officers and privates, and drummer& my see than, but the law agents, who could alone tithe legal objections, were not allowed to look into them. So deep an interest do the trustees take in the advantage of the army, that they would not permit them to see their own papers. In his upinton all the papers should be produced, and he bad little why in anticipating who should cut the worst figure. • Col. LUSHLN(ITON mid that he wondered that he had suill. cient authority hens Col. Noble to put his name to the petition. Col. Nellie told nisi diet be desired to withdraw his power of st ultify from COL W ood. He had also expressed his indignation t.t the pamphlet written against the Duke of Wellington and Mr. Arbuthnot. Under these circunivances, he (Col. Lushington) trought himself justified in signing Col. Noble's name; he bad not done on, however, without consulting several older and more experienced Minnnets of that House: ( Hear.) Mr. rinoeu HA NI confessed he did not think the conversation which be hoc detailed, was sufficient to warrant the lion. Member in signing Col. Noble's name. In such caws men felt differently, but he should not consider that his most intimate friend was justi. potting his name to a petition under such circumstances. It Five him no little surprise to learn that the lion. arealbtr op. pante had taken that tor a warrant to sign the petition which, fret and in truth, did not by any means amount to a warrant for smelt a purpose: and to sign a petition too which contained charges of a very serious nature against a particular individual. 't'o accept such • commission as a warrant fur aflising a signature to such a petition, was palpably inconsistent with the pnvileges'of that House. The lion. 31ember moat unquestion ably, hi the communication which lie had with Colonel Noble, obtained no authority from that officer to affix his name to the petition. At the same time he was free to acknowledge that the .1116 n. Member (Col. Lushington) had acted to the best of his judg mat, nod entirely from any improper motive. Mr. Secretary CANNING said, that after the candid and manly manner in which the lion. Member behind him had avowed that which on the opposite side so much pains had been token so mystify, ft 1113 unnecessary for him to make many ob. save:ions; but at learn he would express his opinion that no specific authority file signing a petition could be inferred from a general knowledge of the sentiments and opinions of the individual inam whom the petition purported to come. It was even wrong, he conceived, with authority. to to put a name to:a petition ; but • idiom it there was unquestionably an informality. At the same ties he would lake that opportunity of saying, that where there were two modes of determintog a dispute, it was perfectly innocent to advise that of arbitration, in preference to going to law. Without o eating the &lightest disrespect to any of the learned professions, he might take the liberty of saying. that the physician naturally wished to +Amorous and liberal patients--the divine for a cure of souls-, and the lawyer was newer suspected of indifference to the increase his Mimes, and the t augmentation of his fees—toga, sllthat wpsdo past times eemed perfectly harmless and unobjec. tannibre ; but they had then tolearos for the first time, theater at. tribute - to &lawyer thirst tor increasing business, was to be esteemed t.e.daintot • muotettmt. On a former night they had heard fr om au lion . been cog:need for several years, arid which, when the papers WS been submitted to a lawyer for the purpose of settling the maid* arranged that in half an hour which probably would ham token many years to dispose of in a Court of Law. Now that Honourable Member, might, in the detail of those chr eumatonris, have Bien accused of attacking 'the whole proles. non of the law. without there being the 'lightest shadow for such an imputation. Whh respect to the advice given by the petitioners, he was awnpletely of opinion that it was sound and jib. dieiona ; and he entirely concurred with them in recommending the parties to abide by the arbitration. In expressing such as his view, of the subject, he meant not the slightest pernmal offence to any**, who had given. or might hereafter glee. • diffcrert opinion. It war perfectly natural for those who belonged to • learned ender-aim to wish f o r employment, and thane wodul take the liberty of repel*: leg. nee w ithstanding that it appeared to he the opinion °fathers. thee sore should presume to breathe a syllable to that effect ; became truly the present opposition in Parliament was composed chiefly, Is not entirely, of lawyers. Never. in the history of Parliament. was an opposi•Son so entirely, he might almost say exclusively, com of lawyers; and they were then to kern for the first time since the or of that magnificent profession, that its members were Jodi/- Serene as to the increase of their profession 4 occupation. Mr. ABEIICROMBY wished to correct the rolarepresentatior of the Right lion. Gentleman (Mr. Canning); misrepresentation srhicb he was sure was perfectly undesigned on his part, but tbt effect of which it was not the leas unnecessary to prevent. The ob jection which he (Mr. Abercromby) had urged was one which lay. not aysinst a general or sweeping accusation, for to such lie would not have deemed it necessary to make clay reply. but his objection lay agsrost a Itat he conceived to be a Talc charge against a par ticular individual, in its nature unjust, injurious, and calumnious. His deliberate conviction was. that no one who read the petition. tnal :ern read the letter of slit Duke of Wellington, could put his cet.4,,to his heart and say that the ch r ;es were not directed against individual, and not suff ci-ntly specific in their nature to wake it necessary that they should be repelled. tie.

I mpress the confidence they felt in the Trustees of the Deccan Pelee Money. He could oot conclude without observing., that in , ails opinion, if any party had a right to complain of intimation .and eminency, it was the Duke of Wellington and Mr. Arbuthnot. Sir HARDINGE admitted tine right of Sir E. Maligregor to express his opinion in the 111$1116111 be had chorea. He thought, Lowrey. that the unreasonable claims made by the Demount,. . justified the gentlemen who signed the petition Its the inference that iiiiiiiiil 7 anioumed to no less than fourteen thousand pounds upwards. (Hear, hear.) The lawyers therefore had a lair slit • the booty. The Duke of Wellington and Mr. Arbuthnot's . pewees tor two years, es trustees, were within one hundred and • pounds. As to aspersions, it was unfah to cast them on o meolltinee as well as gentlemen of the law ; and it must be • mitred dint much aspersion was thrown out against the Duk Wellirn and Mr. Arbuthnot 4o the public papers.

After a few wards from Sir. H. Hamm Jot and Dr. Ll:tunas- TON the Petition was ordered to be printed. CAP OF GOOD HOPS. Mr. BROUGHAM ted a Petition from Bishop Burnett, onnplaining of the of bertitberies Somerset. Hr. HUH& then one, sod was undetstood to advert to the dill. colds, which the Petitioner lead to encounter for want of means to proceed to the Cape of Good Hope. Mr. Secretary CA NNIN G asked was it because an individual had Amin pepper to scone • public officer, that the Government tberao Las were to furnish Mtn with money ? Dlr. IlUilf explained that that was not his meaning. The pe titioser had 111004. boolobed frost the Colony for a period of five yeses, =I sm set yet expired, and as it was material foe the substan of his ease that he should proceed to the Cape, all that he thee wasted to know was, whether, under existing eir. ' eamstano4, be wee at liberty to do so. Mr. W. HORTON said that if the petitioner could show that it was to #romota the ends of justice and not advance his own private objects in going to the Cape, his case should receive favourable con. ' sideration. The Petition was then brought up, and oedered to be printed. CORPORATION OF NEWBERY. Mr. BROUGHAM presented • petition from George Gray, complaining of certain privileges belonging to or assumed by the Corpc,ration of Newberry, in the coudty of Berks. - - ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE IN IRELAND. Mr. BROUGHAM nee to resent a petition of rather an ex. traordinary chancier, it came from Ireland,complaining of op sion and severity exercised upon a poor man there, on proceedings arising out of a civil bill process, in the court of the Assistic.t Banister, where the poor man resided. It was a lithe use, and he (Mr. Brougham) could not but :..implain that clergy. men sitting u Magistrates had been active in the tappet:melon oft he petitioner. After a few words from Mr. (RATTAN, thi petition was I brought up and ordered to lie on the table. -------- - BUENOS AYRES. Mr. Secretary Secretary CANNING, observing that the Ron. Member for Taunton (Mr. A. Baring) was not in the House, proceeded to 1 state that he (31r. Canning) had intimated his intention of being , present then, and giving that Ilon..Member the explanation re. specting the conduct of Great Britain towards the state of Buenos Ayres, which, on a former occasion, having been applied to unex. pectedly, he was not fully prepared to give. Inquiry had been made whether any interference had taken place on the part of any foreign power with the Government of this country respecting its diplomatic relations with the state of Buenos Ayres. To that inquiry he was then prepared to give the most decided and unequivocal negative. He could assure the House, that there had been no such interference on the part of any foreign government whatever. He could go still farther and say Ant if eneh an inter. tererce had taken plate it WOOid _podtitely have legns unsuctsessful. In reference to the other filioirT that had Ween made he could net help observing, that Ifsoquesttons on that rub. ject had been pat it might gibe, tow the whole, have been better, for a few months wank' bate diseliseed all particulars to the public without inconvenience er disadvantage.. The Su.te of Buenos Ayres had appointed as Envoy and Minima Plenipoten airy to Great Britain. Without arrogating for this country main than was her due, he must say, that in her diplomatic Tell tions, especially with the States of South America, she was at least entitled to a whole Minister; and he knew no ree. son why, in our intercourse with the newly established states 01 the American Continent, they should exact from us any advantage over the oldest, the most despotic, or the most esta blished State in Europe. The credentias which that Minister re ceived might have been enough as between him and his Govern. meet, but yet not at all enough as between Great Britain and Buenos Ayres. It was therefore impossible that a Minister so accredited could, with a just sense of what was due to Great Britain, be received. A partner in a highly respectable mercantile house in the City had been appointed a Consul, and had, in right of that appointment, called on him (Mr. Canning), and tendered his credentials, offering then to enter upon the discussion of points of the highest importance. But he (Mr. Canning) felt it his duty most positively to refuse entering into any negotiation with that gentleman on the subject of his mission. He could not acknow. ledge him in any diplomatic character whatever. 'Besides which, that gentleman was the very person, of all others, from whom it would be most needful to conceal the particular information which would be disclosed in the course of that discussion into which he proposed to enter. He had instructed the British resident at Buenos Ayres to object to the appointment of a Consul under such circum stances, feeling, as he thought with justice, that this country had a right to stand on as high ground as any other. The House could not but observe, that in our relations with the states of South Ame rice, there was more of commerce than of politics, and that in those conunereial relations there was a great deal of fluctuation and irregularity. Therefore those considerations were, he thought, suf ficient to show that no offence was intended to those states, when he, 1 acting under the impression of what lie conceived to be his duty, had expressed a desire that there should not be appointed British merchants as Consuls in this country. This he had communicated through the British Charge d'Affaires, and he felt it the more his duty to press it, from the conviction that to neglect doing so would be attended with much disadvantage and inconveni ence. On behalf of our own Government he had taken the same measures of which he recommended the adoption e i the part of others. He had strictly forbidden all the British Consuls abroad from enuring into any mercantile pursuits, and he would add, the if any were found transgressing thole injunctions their removal would ensue, for to preserve our diplomatic relations with the new States was infinitely a more delicate task than in maintaining them with those Powers which were old and established. He was sorry to be obliged to advert to any deticiency in the credentials of any Gentleman, but he doubted not that before the next Session of Par. liament he would be in possession. of what might be necessary to his being fully accredited. Mr. BROUGHAM concurred with the Right Hon. Gentleman that forms of the nature to which he Lad ads erted ought to boob. served. He then noticed the other observations which fell hem him, and approved of them entirely. Mr. Secretary CANNING then added, that he did not British subjects being Consuls except in caeca where there residers' Miimister. After afew words from Mr. Runic, Mr. T. If. Courtenay, Robertson, and Mr. Secretary Canning, the Petition, which from certain inhabitants of the County of Kent, on the subject the Emancipation of Slaves, was ordered to be printed. GOVIILA V. Mr. HUME presented a Petitios from certain inhabitants Staplethom and another Parish, respecting Mr. Gourlay's Laid on the table. WEST INDIES. Mr. Secretary CANNING brought up certain Papers, contain ing information as to the additional measures adopted for the liorstion of Slaves in the West Indian Colonies. The Right Gentleman also brought up Papers connected with the Adtni• ,ton of Juatias, and other subjects in the same Colon; — to be printed. SIERRA LEONE. Mr. WILMOT HORTON brought up Returns of certain Du ties connected with Sierra Leone. COMBINATION OF WORKMEN BILL. Mr. HUSKISSON moved that the amendments introduced into that Bill by the Lords be read a first dine. Mr. HOME at itl,'that the House of Lords had made some alter. Mons In the amount of the penalties to be inflicted under the Bill, he wished to know whether such alterations were not an infringe. went on the privileges of that House. He was inclined to believe hey were, and trusted they would prove Meal to the Bill. The SPEAKER said, it certainly was inconsistent with the psi v.l gee of the House of Columns, that any alteration should be made as to the amount of the penalties. In the present instance, lowever, the :Lords did Ito more than fulfil the intention of the Commons, and but restored on rudiment what the Commons had Placed on paper. (Hear, hear.) In engrossing the Bill an oath. don was spade, which omission the lords merely supplied.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 6, 1823. - The Paris Papers of Sunday contain only the following paragraphs worth extracting : • DlADittn, JUNE 23.. -The Court has returned from Arenjure. Yesterday . morning their 31sjesties and Royal Highnesses made their entry into coda eapital. The regiments of infantry of th e Royal Guard, the Provincinl grenadiers, the Swiss, the Provincial Regiment of bores, lined the road front the Palace to the bridge of Toledo, by which their Mitjesties craned at half-past seven, in an open carriage, and were welcoMed by salities of artillery, the ring ing of bells, and the unceasing acclaiiiations of the inhabitants. His Majesty must graciously returned the cordial greetings of his people. Some time after the King had arrived at the Palace, al the troops which still guarded the pests that hid been assigned them, tiled cent ctiluoins before the balconies of the Palace, where their Majesties and Royal Highnesses stood; wt..° were again warmly . salutell by themultitude assembled in the great square and its ervirons.—Ma&hi Gagette. A smuggling Tassel, under English colours. beteg pursued by Lieut. Bargona, took refuge in the creek of Roguelas. on the coast of Grenada, and landed 26 armed men. As soon as Captain Don Joseph Saint Juan was informed of it, he marched against them, at the head of 13 peasants, who were well disposed to second him, sad obliged dim to lay dowa their arms : 172 art. of Ensil sad Havannah tobacco wete seized.—Erei/e. Auqsanatitt, JUNE 27. A letter from Pen of the 31st May, written by a person of some importance, says:— • The diplomatic intercourse between the Foreign Ministers and the Reis Effendi is not frequent. The Porte, to avoid new troubles, bas renounced the plan of sending:part of the Janissaries against the Greeks. The agents of the Viceroy of Egypt 'zing informed of the late action between the Egyptian and Greek fleets, off Candia, urge the departure of the Capitan Pacha. It seems this Admiral, since last campaign, is unwilling to act with Ibra him Pacha ; and instead of going to the Mores, meditates an attack on Samoa. IVhile the Porte affects to be pleased with Redichid Pacha it has reprimanded the Pachas of Widdia and Silistria."— Journal de l'arit. The New Orleans Mercantile Daily Adoertiser gives an account of a mutiny of Mexican troops stationed at the island of Sacrificios, on the 30th April. This account is erroneous: it was a mutiny of some convicts who were confined on the island. It was immediately put down, and the ringleaders punished. The Juliana left Vela Cruz l aubSequent to the 30th April, when the affair (which did not last twenty-four hours) was at an end. Sacrificios is close to Vera Cruz. In the best regulated Irish papers we are continually offended with gross absurdities which would infallibly in this country expose the parties guilty of them to universal contempt. The Dublin Evening- Post of Saturday has a long letter addressed to the Earl of LIMERICK, in which his Lordship is told that he " Knows that there is a contest, at this moment, going on in the Cabinet, regarding the dissolution of the present Parliament, and that upon this measure the fate of the Catholic Question and the fate of the country mainly depends. Should the Earl of ELDON succeed against Mr. CANNING, hit Lordship hopes that be would be enabled to raise a No-Popery cry, and to return a House of Commons, the majority of which would be hostile to the claims of the Catholics." If this Paper is as well versed in the secrets of the Cabinet as it so ludicrously pretends to be, surely, as. the accredited organ of the Catholic party, it acts very unwisely in admitting that, in case of a General Election this summer, the Members returned to the next Parliament " would be hostile to the claims of the Catholics." Public opinion in Great Britain, according to this writer, is then decidedly adverse to the Catholic Question. What better argument against further concession can be desired by its opponents? On the same calculation, it is assumed that a dissolution of Parliament this summer must be intended to extinguish all hope of success on the part of the Catholics. We, however, who certainly do not affect to know what is " at this moment going on in the Cabinet," can easily ima gine many reasons why this dreaded dissolution may take place, without any view whatever to the Catholic Question. Supposing Parliament to be prolonged another year, it must then (lie a natural death ; •and the Catholic leaders alfeady promise to compel Parliament either to yield the point to them, or pass measures of greater severity to put down the new Associations they are now employed in framing. In some shape or other, therefore, the Catholic Question will come before Parliament next Session, and the Loan CHANCELLOR, if it be hi:, design—as we are by this great authority assured ittis—" to raise a 'No-Popery' cry,' will be just as able to do so next year as he is at present. Be the dissolution Fettled as it may, we are quite certain that the Catholic question will have no connexion with the decision of the Cabinet. A . petition was presented last night by the Marquis of 'LANcCDOWN, from the Unitarians, praying that an inquiry might be instituted into their condition under the law of • • land. Th e LORD CHANCELLOR stated bisentire non eurrenee in the object of the petition. His feelings, be observed, had been very much mistaken if it had been sup posed that he had intended any interference with these persons except for their benefit. There can he no doubt, we think, that it is desirable to remove the uncertainty tha t prevails with regard to the• protection to which they are entitled. Nl'e do not admire the doctrine of connivance. The law should clearly approve or clearly condemn, and in either case it should be fully enforced. In the House of Commons the Deccan prize-money was again a subject of discussion, on the presentation of a peti tion from Sir EVAN M ACG RIGOR, in defence of the counsel and agents of the claimants. The same ground was passed over precisely. The Gentlemen of the long robe raised a fresh outcry against the Duke of AVsLI.INGTON for having suspected them of a desire to promote litigation. Because Sir HENRY HARDT NG E expressed his wish to see the lawyer's bills, in order that the public might know how much of the plunder had gol:e into their pockets, Mr. BROUG H • SI, in retaliation, attacked the army, and talked of the " plunderers in red coats." Mr. CANNIXO after wards remarked, that it had evidently become, in the opi nion of the legal profession, nothing less than dnhtnt niagnahni to attribute to a lawyer any thirst for increasing business. The fact is as the Flight lion. Gentleman stated, that never, in the history of Parliament, was an Opposition so entirely composed of lawyers as the present; and the House was therefore to conclude that they were wholly indifferent as to the amount of their pro ft eional occupation. All men naturally desire success, but let nobody insinuate that a lawyer wishes well to liti gation. The fact has never before (that we remember) been publicly stated, but it is of a singular and instructive i character. Mr. CANNING subsequently gavean explanation of the circa stances attending the non-reception of the Envoy from Buenos Ayres. he most positively denied that any attempt had been made by any Foreign Power to interfere with our diplomatic relations with the new American States,' .and he added, that if such interference had taken place, it would have been wholly unsuccessful. The objection to she xeception of theZnyoy * one entirely of form, but of such:a nature, nevertheless, that it is impossible a Minis ter so accredited could, with a just sense of what is due to this country, be received. An objection has also been very: properly taken to the appointment of a British merchant as Consul from Buenos Ayres. When the nature of our intercourse with these St'ates is considered, it is desirable that the agents should be disinterested and free from all temptation to apply thuir knowledge to any object but that for which it is communicated to them. The course Mr. CANNING recommends he has himself adopted. Ile has strictly forbidden all the British Consuls abroad from entering into any mercantile pursuits. If they should transgress this injunction, they will be immediately removed. An attempt was made by Mr. Ilestr to throw out the Combination Laws Amendment Bill, on the ground that the Lords had altered the amount of the Penalties. The. lion. Gentleman was so jealous of the privileges of the Lower house, that he proposed on such a ground to leave the country exposed to the evils of his memorable Act for, another year. It happened, however, that the Lords had only restored what was omitted by accident in engrossing the Bill in the Commons. A simple entry on the journals, saved the point of privilege and the Bill too, which was lent back to the Lords approved. The amounts of the revenue for the quarter ending yes t.rday were made up last night, but se late that we cannot lay them before our :c. re this day. It aim us gr eat pleasure, however. to have it in our power to state, th at the quarter's returns give further evidence al the continued growth of the prosperity of our country. The revenue his increased in all its princird branches, notwithstandin g th e considerable reductions that have been made in the bur den of taxation. The amount of the customs has been raised greatly by large transfer of Excise duties, pursuant to a recent and bentfletal regulation in that department. During the cor responding quarter, last year, the Costume produced th e sum of 1,997,070/. During the late quarter, these duties yielded the sum of 3,918,000/. The apparent increase os the face of the accounts, therefore, is 1,920,930/. ; but froth this sum we ought to deduct about 1,800,0001. for the transferred duties from the Excise. There will then remain an actual increase of 1.20,000/. dining the last quarter in the old duties of Customs alone, and adding this *um to the increase of the previous quarter, we have the gratifying re sult of an excess of more than 2013,001:2. during the last six mouths, over the corresponding period of 1824. We have not the particulars of the Excise in our posses sion, but we understand they are equally satisfactory. If the increase be not in the same proptetion, we must bear in mind that some circumstances have occurred within tba last quarter calculated peculiarly to affect this branch of the revenue. The combinations of workmen in the manufac. *Luring districts have led in many trades to a perfect stag nation of husint;es, and consequently to difficulties and pri vations on the part of the woanten, who haie, bj their obstinacy, deprived themselves of the means of enjoymeth to the same extent in which they might h a ve indulged if they had conducted themselves with more reason and propriety. In the department of Stamps, the produce of the last quarter has exceeded that of the corresponding quarter of 1824 by at :east 120,000/. The general result is grasifying in the highest degree, Every quarter steadily rises above its predecessor, and gives promise of a larger augmentation for the future. The revenue is increasing, while taxation is diminishing; looking forward, we see only prospects still brighter. The general tranquillity of the civilised world becomes more consolidated and assured by ksionger continuance. Every nation, almost every individual, feels and appreciates the advantagi•s of peace. Great Britain, as the most corn. mercial Power, necessarily shares the moat in the universal welfare; and with the enlightened councils and liberal policy by which her Government is distinguished, it is impossible to assign limits to the splendid career of her prosperity. CITY, Tuwenaw Evrwrats. The Consols opened this morning at 914 I, and exhibited much firmness until the middle of the day, when some heavy sales were effected, and they then declined to 914 I, which was the closing price..

I I At a Meeting of the Committee of the Foreign Stock Exchange the following important recommendation to the Subscrilrgirae ordered to be circulated. It does net, however, go fat criviekio convect the evil, the existence of whiff it admits s— " Committee. rootn, sth JOl7, 1825. " It having been represented to the Committee of the roreige Stock Exchange, that projects have been formed and companies established, with the sole view of raising an account, and inducing membets of this House to sell Bonds of a larger number of 'Sham than have been issued, the Committee think it incumbent oh them to caution the members of the Foreign Stock Exchange swarm dealing in the Shares of any Company, with the respectability and fair conduct of which they are not perfectly satisfied. " By ort er of the Committee." In Foreign Stocks there is no alteration of any consequence. Spanish Bonds are I per cent. dearer than they were yesterday; French Rentes are also per cent. higher. These variations art the consequences of private operations, and do net result from po litical causes. South American Securities are a shade lower. In Shares very little badness has latterly been effected. United Mexican Shares are nearly 21. each lower ; the medic , ' is tilled with them. Old Chilian are also If. each cheaper. Anglo.3lezleaa maintain their value, and Colombian also are in considerable demand. The Colonial market was exceedingly brisk ; there were heavy Wes both of Cogee and Sugar, at full prizes. The Robert Fuge, which took out a party of English miners from Falmouth to Mexico, arrived off Tampico the Sth May ; passengers all in good health. The Haarlem Courant, of the 2d of July, says, " the heads of the house of Rothschikl will shortly meet to gether, either in Paris or London. As this house had an important part in the principal financial op,•rations during some years past, it is no wonder that most parlous ascribe this intended meeting not to family reasons, but to the ne cessity of arranging preparatory resources, for the purpose of being aisle, in case of need, to carry into execution a plan for effeetins the reduction of the French Relates (which has not yet 'been much advanced by voluntary conversion) by an eventual repayment of the principal." Extract of a letter dated Malta, June 11:—" A further impediment to our trade with Sicily occurs by the exten sion of the Quarantine to twenty-tight days on vessel,' from this island, in consequence of tholate proceedings in England regarding vessels from Egypt..

The English crown-piece is fixed at &law 1. and other coins in proportion." HAYTI.—A letter from New Orleans, fated May 11, states, that several free people of colour, who had been induced to leave Louisiana, by the nape of enjoying more freedom and happiness under tl e soi-disant Republican Government of Boyer, have lately returned to Nov Or leans, perfectly satisfied, by the expo iin•nt, that li berty does not consist merely in the name, tut II! practice and morals. , In the towns of St. Domingo, they tound much license among the lower orders, to beg, steal, and quarrel ; industry was nearly out of the question among the coloured men. The little business that was done in the city, the coloured women and the whips carried on with few exceptions. In the country, measures of rigour were employed to make the cultivators go to the field for a good share of the fruits of their industry, as a reward had often been found of no avail. This was the state of things in St. Domingo when the blacks heard that Boyer was treating with the French Ministry. The Go vernment of the mulattoes at once became odious; and in some of the districts at a distance front the town, the ne groes left off all appearance of work. Armed bands of this class, at the last dates, infested many of the passes in ate mountains, and a general insurrection was dreaded. Boyer, with his health impaired, now finds himself on a pinnacle, where it is perilous to remain, and yet more dangerous to descend. He has some thousands of bayonets at his back, but he scarcely knows whom to trust. The blacks, in fact. only want opportunity and a leader to exterminate the other colours.—New nth Paper.
