WEDNESDAY, Ilex 24. WEST INDIA PROPERTY. The LOT!!) CH A NCEI.I.OII presented a petition from several persons residing in Great Britain, who were owners of property in tiv' islands of St. Vince:it and llmnitdca, praying their Lordships Din to agree in any further measures tOr the abolition of alavery, without a toll inquiry into the taste of slave property, and ow pcnswion tf , the proprietors of such property. Ilia Lordship said that a most itnportant fact was vomit by the petitioners. which was. that their estates had been purchased from the Government of Great Britain. an! upon the ea pressed condiiion that the states should be cultivated by negroes imported from Mika. That fact, con. netted with the circumstance of this Government having interfered to prevent the legislature of Jamaica from limiting the importa tion of amities, aliould weigh with their Lordships in deciding the great question of slaverv. The petition was lead by the clerk, and ordered to be laid on the table. The Marquis of LA NSDOWN presented petitiors in favour of the gradual aboliti in of slavery, from parishes in Northampton, S a aiugham. and shronsbire. from Teisterden in Kent, Lasalle in Cornv'all. Whitby in Yorkshire. and from Eghom. • Mr. Keating. from the Irish Cam of Chancery, presented cer tain papers relative to Foote law proceeilings netveen the Attorney- General for Ireland and the Corporation of Dublin. 31 ETROPOLITAN TURNPIKE TRUST BILL. . - The Order lit the Day being read for going into ■ Committee for the eon%itlerition of (hi% Bill. A conversation tool; place between the Earl of Lauderdale, Lord Dom, the illariptis of Camden, and the Lord Chancellor; when Lord Dc Clifford moved that the Bill be read that day three months; upon which their Lordships divided, when there ap peared— Contents, 23 I Not-ontentr, Majority in favour of the Bill, 13 DIATRE?•zS OF THE MANUFAC'FFRERS._ Earl FITZ WILLI.% 31 rut a question to the Earl of Liver pool. which win not qiihe audible. We 1111dCIVIOnd his Lordship to ask whether it was the intention of his Majesty's Government to afford any perur iary relief to the distressed manufacturers? The Earl of LIN Ell POOL said, that upon a Ginner occasion he had given an answer to a similar question. Ilia opinion was, that it most he a very special case which should induce Govern ment to adopt such a course. The law had provided what he con. siOrred the most constitutional and the safest remedy for the dis. tenses of the working classes, by the establishing of poor laws. At the suite lime he would not cry that no passible case could arise in which a pecuniary relief might not he aifbrded ; but no such in. stance lia4 occurred in England ttnce the period when he had given it as 164 opinion that Government ought not to interfere with any pecuniary assistance for the relief of the distressed manufacturers. The subject had been most fully investigated, and after much con siderstion, he was coniitmed in the opinion which he had at first formed. nREF,CE. The Earl of ABERDEEN presented a petition front a wish in Essex, complaining of the cruelties which had been practised by the Turks upon the Greeks, and praying the interference of their Lordships. The Noble Earl remarked, that he did not know, nor did he wish to inquire, what WWI the policy of the Government with respect to the war between the Turks and Greeks, but he would have no ohiection to ore petitions on the subject presented to their Lordships: The petition which ho had in his hand was the first which had lien presented, but it should not be inferred from that circumstance that there was any indifference in this country to the cause of the Greeks. The reason there were not many petitions on their Lordships talde, io farcur of the Greeks,was that the country in gencrttl entertained no doubt of the sincerity of his Majesty's Go vernment in their wishes to forward the success of the Greek cause. FOREIGN (URN BILLS. The Earl of I,IV movod the order of the day for ening into a Committee for the tardier consideration of the Foreign Corn Bills. '''''''' of I/ANSI/OWN said, that in consequence of unavoidable absence, he had not an opportunity of delivering his sentiments on those measures when they were under discussion he. fore their Lorttships ; and although he did not mean to give them any oppoNititin, he wished to state his reason for giving them only • limited rapport. Ills ohiection was not to the Warehoused Co•n hot to the discretion given to his Majes.y's Government for the admission of tiircign corn, when there did not appear to be any necessity made oat for giving them such a power. If it should happen thlt s nete%pity should arise Co. the •arriistoi.r. of a W••••••• quantity of corn than that allowed by the Act, would the Noble Earl at the :mad or the Treasury say that Government would not take upon themselves the responsibility of admitting whatever quantity they thought necessary ; and if such should be the case, he did not see any reason why they should not assume the responsi. finny without the present measure. lie did not think that any alteration should be made in the Corn Laws until • complete and permanent revision should be determined on; and he knew no duty more imperative upon the Legislature than an entire revision of the Corn Laws. lle also thought that if any class was more interested than another in that revision, it was the agricultural interest. Their Lordships then resolved into a Committee, when, after a few verbal objections by lond ELLE Knoll ov cu, the further con. sideration of the Warehoused Com Bill was postponed until to. morrow (this day), for the purpose of giving time to make the ne. cessary alterations. The Corn Importation Bill passed through the Committee, and was reported without any amendments. Lord TEYNII.I3I presented a petition from Rochester, against any alteration in the Coin Laws. Their Lordships adjourned at Seven o'clock. AMERICAN PAPERS. A letter from finvannah, of March SO, received at Charleston, rays—" The invasion of thin island is postponed by particular de. tire. There has been no news of the Spanish squadron Finns they left this. The vessels from Cadiz are still out."—New York Mer. envy Advertiser. Two young men, natives of Principe, in the Island of Cuba, who had just arrived from the Republic of Colombia, were con. limited to death and hung at Principe on the Itith of Mach, for attempting to revolutionize the country. A despatch from the Secretary of State, dated In Bogota, the Ist of March, addressed to the Intendant of the Department of Vene zuela, mrlions that information had been received, from various sources, that the Spanish squadron at Ilavannalt was preparing with great activity, for the purpose of making a military descent on smite pan of the coast of Colombia. It is thought that their in. tendon is, to disembark at some weak point, and obtain such ar. titles as would most annoy the Ctionibians. The communication is given to excite the vigilance of the Intendant on the coast, to protect the assailable points, and secure the merchandize coming from sea. _ _ _ By ■ Ihnish man of war lately arrived at La Guayra, we learn that a considerable French and Spanish squadron was lately seen off Martinique. it seems probable that the Spanish 'mete, con. sistlng of a line of battle chip and two frigates. with stone mailer vessels, Is the squadron under the command of Admiral La Borde, which left Ilavannah some time back to reconnoitre our ports, and more especially that of Carthagena, in consequence of the ru moured expedition preparing there against that island. A private setter (tom St. Thomas's states, that the Government of that Island had recei►ed a letter faun the Governor of Mar tinique, announcing that the former might shortly expect a visit from his friend, Admiral Duren*, on his voyage from Puerto Rico, with a view of garrisoning that island with French troops , . Extract or a Letter from General La Fayette to the Editor of the American Farmer:— " La Grange, Jan. 20, I 82& " It is not an easy task for me to sukntii to the wide material septnition which now exists between me and my American friends, while my mind is constantly with them ; and the regret for the loss of their society mingles with en ardent sympathy in their public and personal concerns. So prompt I have been in recovering pleas. ing habita, and so much attached I feel to my new as well as my old connexions in the United States, that it IMMIX to me quite strange to think this winter will pass without meeting any of yon, either at Baltimore or Washington. I am eagerly waiting for the paper,' and letters from my friends, end beg when you write to remember that at a distance minute particulars are very welcome. " The affectionate reseption I have toe' from the people on my journey, and on my arrival in this part of the cot try, and the family and friendly enjoyments that awaited me, have been sadly troubled by the illness of one of my grand-daughters, who, con. trary to all expectation, is happily recovered. I have passed hitherto most of my time at La Orange ; but am now going for two ur three months to town, saving some exc.irsions to my farm. I must give you an account of the stock you so very kindly 'united in forwarding and increasing. One of Mr. Patterson's Coke De von% the elder bull, died on the passage: the three others havere covered Crum the fatigue, and are now its tine order. The giant wild turkey, we have admired together, died also at sea; his bro ther, and another from (lencral Cocke, of Virginia, arrived safe ; two small Virginia liens never ca nk'. retrieve the injuries of the sea, bat the males are very hearty. four two hogs have well supported the voyage, and are better shaped than any I have seen, although I have chanced to obtain the heat of an importation from England. The Virginia plough, you have been pleased to forward, has been presented for examinationby the Central Society at Paris. • I expect their report. lam anxiously looking for the arrival of two medels kindly promised ; the one a ream machine, after that of Mr. It. Smith, the other a threshing machine t this Is sent by Governor Sprigg, the steam one by Ale. Morris. Should they be reedy to reach New York by the Ist of April, Captain Marcy, who sails on the 6th, and comes himself to Paris, will take charge of them. Permit me to entreat your kindness for two other articles. I much wish to introduce at l.a Orange the pretty A merlean partridge, so called in the south, and quail in the north, and the terrapin, about whose management 1 would need an instruction. Captain Macey would take care of them, and if the kind friend, Joseph Townsend, who hail found the mammoth turkey, peridets in his Ir. od intro_ Lion to send some more ? or you could get some al the tame breed, second or third generation, at the good postmaster's at York, Pa.

LONDON, THURSDAY, MAY 23, MI. wnvlrmen bvve bon' cm't away from Paris, with travelling passports, by which they ate allowed three sous per league. " This measure of police," accord ing to the Ftoile, " does not prove that the workmen at Paris are destitute of subsistence. Its object is merely to prevent an excess of workmen, who are incessantly attracted to the capital by the prospect of a gain of five francs per day." But this weak manner of stating the fact seems only to confirm what N. B. CONSTANT has asserted in the Chamber of Deputies, about the distress in France. An extract from the Fclairenr du Rhone, which we have sub joined, shows that the distress in Lyons still goes on in creasing, and we have no doubt but that the crisis which has been so sensibly felt in this country, has now extended its influence to France, as to every other country in Europe. Number 89 of the Bulletin des Lois contains an ordi nance relative to the establishment of eleven new nunne ries. The Bishop of HERMoro me, by the advice of the Council of State, attests that there is nothing in the plan of these establishments contrary to the Charter, to therights of the Crown, or to the privileges, liberties, and maxims of the Galilean Church; but the statutes appointing them have not been made public. M. BENJAMIN Cot/arm/r has thought proper to publish a reply to the accusations of inconsistency which have been thrown out against him. He has answered them in the shapq of a letter to 'the editors of the Ornerier Francais and the Constitutionnel. In proof of the little regard which the French Ministry pays to its neutrality, in the case of the Greeks, the Con stitutionnel has published an account of the circumstances of the Spartiate (a Greek vessel in the port of Marseilles), signed by the Greek passengers, and attested by a public notary. The circumstances of the case we laid before our readers in an extract of a letter from Marseilles, of which we had procured a copy. By the private correspondence from Madrid of the 11th May, it seems that an attempt hasybeen made to execute the decree of the Ist October, 1823, by which 30,000 per sons would be expelled from Madrid. The population have applied in crowds to RECACIJO, to whom the execution of the order has been entrusted, for the purpose of inducing him to present a remonstrance to the King against the order. The Duke del I NIANTADO received lately an affront from FERDINAND, which would have led him to resign immediately, if not prevented by those about him, whose interest it is that he should continue in office. The !:toile of the 2341 inst. contains no news of any importance. We have subjoined two paragraphs from the French Morning Papers. (From the Quotidientte.] . . . We have just lenrnt the arrival at the flovsnnah of Guerrero, of the line, and the Satirs brig, after a passage of thirty-three days. It seems certain that 4,000 of our best troops will be embarked In the hero and Algesiras. In the present situation of Mexico, these troops, and the squadron which is going to be collected in the island of Cuba, will enable the Government to send an expedition of 8,000 or 10,000 men to nssist the Spanish party in Mexico. 'From the EcLireiir do Rhone of the 18th inst.] Business has never been seen so generally dead in our market as it has been for some time. There is very little demand for our ma. nufactures. Looms are stopped every day, and the number of workmen out of employment increases considerably. The return of business Is uncertain. It does not here depend on any particular cause.

The following is an extract from the official journal of Brussels, in reply to an article in the Courrier of the Meuse. It is of importance, as showing the language which Governments, in strict alliance with our own, are accustomed to sanction with regard to those secret associa lions of modern Jesuits, which the British Pres . ? was the first to denounce' in this country. Attempts have been made by some journalists to confound the principles and measures of these sectaries with those of the French Minis try, and these attempts have been in some measure suc cessful ; but the principles of the French Ministry are perfectly distinct from those of the modern Jesuits, who ue the exclusive supporters of the aristocracy and the Galilean Church. It is the object of the French journals to throw the odium of the one, upon the other, in the same way as it has been attempted in this country to confound the principles of our present administration with those of the Tories in the days of divine right and non-resistance:— " Have you forgotten —to use the words of an eloquent Member of the Second Chamber of the States General,—have you forgotten the Intrigues, the manoeuvres, and the obstinacy with which the organization of the representative system. and of those powers insti tuted by our fundamental law, were opposed in this country? Have you forgotten how the conscience of many good persons was tor tured to prevent the formation of municipal administrations and regencies of provincial states and tribunals ? And, when at last our country basting been liberated from those turbulent strangers, who oppressed the clergy—when, thanks to the wisdom of Govern. meet, and the right spirit of the ministers of the Catholic religion we were at last restored to peace and tranquillity—are you not aware hOw many attempts were made. along with other establishments.with ongregations directed by a chief resident in France, to naturalize, real Nuernrsalei (auxiliaries) of St. Acheul and Montroage in this country? Can you tell us who had charged then ardent missionaries to tome and usurp the functions of our ecclesiastics ? Do you not know how they had persuaded several heals of families to send their children abroad to those seminaries in which the principles of Jesuitism prevail, and are connected with a high &glee of cor ruption of morals ?—f Memoir?, of Montbmicr ).—A nd when these manta-arm were unveiled, are you not acquainted with the reasons why ooe of these establishments. in which the beau ideal of Jesuitism exists in all its purity. was founded at Turcoing, on our extreme frontier, and la the neighbourhood of the two Flanders ? We shall add, that if we may believe the assertions of some persons who seem to be pretty well informed, there are some persons who know beter than we do in what part of our provinces those shoots, planted by ultra-montaninp, are still to he found. Dutch Papers to the fat May have been received, but they contain no news of any importance. It seems that the dispute with Austria and Prussia about the Duchy of Luxemburgh, and the navigation of the Rhine, has not yet been brought to a conclusion; but it is not supposed that it will give rise to any war between the parties, though it is expected that Pro.sht, which considers itself as principally aggrieved, will insist on levying the same duties on the transit trade on its frontiers as are at present levied on those of Holland—a resolution which would operate as an express prohibition of all commercial inter course between the two countries. The following proclamation of the Government of Hayti, dated the Ist of April, deserves attention. Hay tian vessels are now allowed to trade with all countries, except the colonies and the provinces of North and South Carolina, in which the slave population would render any inter course with Hayti an object of great jealousy to their respective Governments:— REPI'BI.IC OF HAcTI. PROCIA3IATION. JEAN PIERRE BOYER. PRESIDENT OF Ilerrt. The motives which induced this Government to forbid all inteit course between its vessels and foreign countries being no longer in existence. since, by the acknowletiqernent of our Independence, and the establishment in Hayti of Consuls from several Powers. the Haytian flag can appear on the high seas with that respectability which the laws of nations guarantees. we declare that from the 15th loin. our proclamation of the 20th of March shall be revived, in order that the citizens of Hayti, in carrying on commerce with ?metro countries, may enjoy all the advantages which they have a right to expert. 'fberefore, our vessels may navigate the high seas, and trade with the countries that are on terms of friendship with the Republic, taking care strictly to observe the laws of nations. Nevertheless, our determination to avoid most s«oPotoovir every ti octaistoo of uonsge to (Hoe, sxott. to relation to the in ter . nal police of their colonies, requires that we should renew once •mort, by these presents, our express prohibition to Haytian vessels to go to the islands and colonies belonging to them Govern. meats, as well as to North and South Carolina, in the United States of America. Nevertheless. in conformity with the wish formerly expressed by the Governments of St. Thomas and Curae3l, that our com. mercial relations should continue on their ancient footing, and now that we can reply to those friendly advances without endanger. ing the honour of the national Hag. we authorize flay:len vessels to trade freely wtth the said islards of St. Thome. and Curaooa. This proclamation shall be printed and published wherever it may be necessary, and inserted for three months in the (Mqrsial Ga zette. The Authorities, both civil and miiitary, will conform thereto. Given at the National Palace of Port-au-Prince, this let day of April, 1826, in the 23d year of our indepcnBence. BOYER. While the Government at home is employed in abolish ing tiv restrictions which have so long been imposed on foreign trade, some of cur Colonies appear to be in clined to pursue a line of conduct entirely the reverse. An Act, it seems, has been passed by the Colonial Legislature of Nova Scotia, imposing a variety of new duties upon ar ticles imparted from foreign countries; and it is considered by the politicians of the Colony, that the Act will be a great protection to their own manufacturers and tradesmen against foreigners, particularly of the United States. With this view, they have imposed additional duties on cattle, wines, bread, fruit, manufactured tobacco, &e.; but the most remarkable feature of the Bill is, that all goods im ported from any place within the limits of the East India Company's charter, are made liable to a duty of 31 per cent. ; and all other foreign goods not specified in the Bill, and subject to w/ t odor e nt duties under the new Colonial Act, are also to be liable to this additional duty of 3f per Cent. above that which was fernierly charged upon them By this clause, all goods coining from the Mediterranean, subject to a duty of 71 per cent., and all foreign goods charged sin ady with duties of 10, 15, 20, er 30 per cent., are made subject, in addition, to this new Colonial duty. The Act is entitled, " An Act for the further increase of the revenue, by imposing a duty upon articles imported from foreign countries ;" and it has received the sanction of the Colonial Government. IVhether the Government at home will be inclined to approve such a measure, we are not prepared to say. The Colonies have a right to regu late their own affairs, and it is proper that they should im pose such duties as may secure their own market as much as possible to the colonists themselves, and to the traders of the Mother Country ; but whether such measures as these are likely to be beneficial in that point of view, is a ques tion which we fear must be answered in the negative. The subject of the l'oor Laws is one to which the atten tion of the Public has often been drawn ; and it has lately been directed to it more forcibly than usual, from the dis tress now prevailing among the manufacturing districts, and the consequent increase of poor's rates. We will ven ture to say, that his Majesty's Ministers have not been inattentive to the subject, and with them we are willing to leave the question, both as to the time and the manner of providing a remedy. In the mean time, we may be per mitted to make a few remarks on the probable course to be adopted. There cannot be two opinions respecting the disadvantages of the present system ; but while it is the opinion of many that a change is necessary, it is equally well understood on all hands that a sudden change in this particular would be attended with dan gers of the most alarming nature—dangers which might sweep all property from the hands of its present possessors, and finish by ruining those whom the measure was meant to relieve. In order to diminish pauperism, modern politicians have seen no better method than to discourage population. The principle upon which these economists argue is, that i 1 is the duty of every Government to see that its subjects possess all the nbeessarles and conveniencca of fife. If the n ecessar i es and conveniences of life canna he produced i n su ff ic i ent abundance to anpply the popui,: lion, misery must ensue. It is therefore ne cessary to k- en down the pop u l at i on to t h e level of the means of sq.. sistence.—They ass ume i n t hi s argument, that the mear, of subsistence are not capa b le of farther increase; for i; must be shown th a t no more food can be raised M the country, before w e d eterm i ne on measures, which would not indeed destroy life, but would prevent its p ro d uction beforehand. It must be shown also, before we caste to the same conclusion with these reasoner, that it is belle, for a man to enjoy many superfluities (and there is no m an who does not enjoy superfluities of some sort or other' th an that he should employ what he would otherwise have wasted on these superfluities in bringirg up a family ; f or whether we look upon this question as it respocts comfort or interest, it at least requires to be considered for a tn , ment whether the charms of domestic life, and the future prospects of assistance from a family, are not sufficient to counterbalance a certain degree of prospective or immedi ate privation. The object of a patriotic Government must, th e w, fore be, in the first place to encourage every method by whi t h the means of subsistence can be increased, either by ire. provements in agriculture, or by diverting the money sp elt in the consumption of superfluities, to objects of real ne ee city. Nature has implanted certain principles in m a - , which it is impossible to eradicate, and to attempt to do o by legislative enactments will only make men more &II), rately bent on gratifying them. Crime and virleoce ar e the unavoidable results of attempts to suppress such pa s . sions. Nor does it mend the matter to propose emigratiGn: exile is itself an evil, and an evil which implies a violen ce done to all those passions to which we have just alludsd. Exile separates us from all our ties and all our prospects at home. It is an evil to which no man submits, if tot compelled. Were it not to be feared that the victims of such a system would turn round and ask, " While they are driven abroad for want of necessaries, why 99 many re. main in the land revelling in superfluity ?" The doctrine; of natural equality would soon be invoked, and revoia tion, instead of emigration, would speedily thin our p t . pulation. This must be the inevitable result of all schemes for discouraging the increase of population. But there are other and more desirable measures. It is' undoubtedly the duty and the interest of ti e rich to support the poor ; for if not supported, they are sure to be driven into crimes which will be fatal to the rich themselves, by rendering property insecure. We have spoken of improvements in agriculture, and we are confi. dent that many such still remain to be made. Wasteland' remain to be cultivated ; but above all, the poor haee ro learn the easiest and cheapest methods of procuring their own subsistence, and the rich have to find out the superiority of the distinction to be derived from seeing crowds of grateful dependents, to that of sporting fine equipages and expensive entertainments. By the present system, a certain rate is levied on the parish, and an allowance is made, generally in money, to the objects to be relieved. This they lay oat in their own way, and sometimes with great imprudence. Frequently no labour is extracted from them, and their want of employment gives them time to meditate on schemes prejudicial to society. To remedy these evils, one method only presents itself, and that is, to change the system en tirely —to do away with poor rates, by obliging the land holders to redeem them, and to purchase land with rho r^•-or eot—t, "oropnateti to one main tenance of the poor, and to be cultivated by them with that view. In these lands the sole object would be to sup. pert nature in the most economical manner—to raise the largest possible quantity of nutritious food from the smallest 'possible extent of ground, and to make that labor of service which would otherwise he unemployed, by cal tivatiog ground which now remains uncultivated, and by introducing modes of cnitnre which private individuals, with purchased labour, could not venture to attempt. The institution would thus become beneficial to the coun try, not only as relieving it from the burden of its poor, but as providing a sort of experimental school of agricul ture, and producing permanent improvements in those tracts of couotry in which it might be introduced. The possible extent to which improvements may be carried may be conjectured 'from the following argument. It is well known that potatoes ;produce a very great proportion of food on a limited extent of ground, anti it is ob vious that a larger population of poor could be supported on this root than by any other mode of aliment. The cause of the large produce derived from the potato is not, however, confined to it ; but might suggest a useful hint in the cultivation of grain in barren and mountainous districts. The potato is more productive than other plants, because it extends its roots deeper, and derives its nourish ment from a larger portion of soil. Grain derives Its nourishment from the mere surface, and therefore a much less depth might be sufficient for producing It. There are many instances of the transportation of soil from the most distant countries, and there are, perhaps, few of Ale most barren tracts in the United Kingdom which could not derive supplies of this kind by a much nearer and easier conveyance titan that by which the little island of Malta, in the course of no very protracted period, re °tired. almost all the soil which now covers its surface from the comparatively distant shores of Sicily. If at y such scheme as this were found practicable, the number of poor might become almost a subject of congratulation, for their labour would be the most truly productive of all branch of the community.
