KNATUHRI'LIi thought that while the countr7 was inundated front one end to the other with the wildest speculations, the House should look with the greatest circumspection at any vi those schemes.

He would renew the subject before the whole Court of Admiralty. Mr. DOUGLAS said that it could ne►er have been the practice. The lion. Member for Aberdeen (Mr. Ram!), in IRII, moved lot a rcturn of officers, who, being in holy orders, received half-pay ; and the return given to that lion. Member was, that none were known to receive half.pay under such circumstances!. Mr. BROODEN brought np the Report of the Transfer of Alds Dill, the Exchequer Bills Rill, and the West India Clergy Bill. __ ANNUAL INDEMNITY DILL. The Anneal Indemnity Dill was read a third time and passed. SOUTH AMERICAN' TREATIES The Orate, of the Day on the South American Treaties Bill being read-- 3lr. RItRERTSOh said that the system of reciprocity which was the spirit of those trestles was injurious in many points of view, but particularly prejudicial to the shipping interest of this country. It hail been hitherto the policy of this country to pro tect that interest by restrictions. A large body of men had embarked considerable capital in that trade, who must, by the measures now proposed, lose 10 per cent. on that capital. Out of the policy which had until now been adopted grew the bonding system. This country became the grand storehouse of the worlti, and the English became the carriers of Europe. Miuisten should pause before they interfered with those interests and gave a shock to those embarked in that trade, when the country watt already so much depressed. The Americans could build ships at a much cheaper rate than they could be butit in this country ; and if the shipping interest of this ' country was not protected, it could not compete with foreigners. Ile knew no reason why the Colombians should have the privilege attindeti them by the treaty. Ile hoped the House would pause before it gave its sanction to the Bill. Sir It. INGLIS said that if reciprocity was to be the spirit of these treaties, it should be more extended. There was no reci. prucity of religious privileges ; while the Colombians had the free exercise of their religion in this country, our settlers in Colombia were only allowed to exercise theirs in private; that was the more surprising, because there was nothing to the cowls. thin of Colombia to call for those restrictions. Now, the treaty bore date the 18th of last April, and the Colombian Minis ter who signed it but, on the 4th day of the same mouth, presided at the meeting of a Bible Society. The Secretary of that meeting had been formerly a Secretary to the Inquisition, anti the very hall in which the assembly took place on that occasion had been originally devoted to the purposes of the Inquisition. Ile felt himself folly justified in asserting that enlarged principles of liberation and of Christian spirit pervaded these States. The Hon. Baronet then proceeded to read an extract from a newspaper pub. hatted in Bpenos Ayres. in which the Editor stated that the people of that country were fully sensible of the benefits of religious freedom, and were disposed to act according to the spirit of that principle In its greaten latitude. When lie considered the liberality of Bolivar, anti the cordiality with which his actions were met by the inhabitants of the countries over which he presided, he (Sir Hobert Inglis) felt himself more confirmed in the opinion that he entertained, that the greatest fa. ditty existed for the introduction of religious toleration. Though the newspaper from which he had read the extract was not an of& cial document, it was but fair to presume that it was not contra. dictory to the popular feelings. Such an accordance was particu. larly to be expected in the infancy of such establishments. The states of Chili, Peru, of Guatemala, and of Ilayti, were quite ripe for the expansion of religious toleration. He would say nothing of Mexico in this respect. But he regretted that regard had not been paid to this subject in the recent transaction with Colombia, for that was a state in which the influence of the Pope had been nearly extinct. Then was the time to introduce the toleration of which he bad spoken, and he was sorry the opportunity bad been ne glected. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER regretted that the Hon. Baronet (Sir Robert Inglis) had nut taken occasion to discuss the question when his Right lion. Friend (Mi. Canning), who wax concerned in the agitation and ratification of the treaties, was present. Ills Hon. Friend would have satisfied the Hon. Ba. roue that there was no cause for introducing this matter into the stipulations of those documents. They were treaties merely affect ing the navigation laws of this country, and it would not have been very consistent to have coupled with that subject the volition of religious toleration. Though the Governments of Great Britain and Colombia may have been favourable to the measure desired by the Hoe. Baronet, it did not follow that there might not be impe diments to obviate. He agreed in the wish which had been ex pressed by the Hon. Baronet, but he was surprised when his Hon. I , 'rieotl felt so much anxiety for toleration in the Catholic States, that he did not at the same time evince a similar disposition fur its operation among the Protestant. Mr. IRVING then rose, but spoke in a tone which rendered Lim in a great measure inaudible in the gallery. As we understood, he defended the conduct of the agents and commissioners who had been sent over to transact the treaties. The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to bs com mitted to-morrow. _ _ Mr. BERRIES brought up papers relative to the Miscellaneous Estimates for the year 1826, which was ordered to be printed, and the !louse adjourned at a quarter before six o'clock.

The French Papers arc filled with dissertations on the proposed change in the laws of inheritance in that country. No alteration of greater importance has been attempted in the French Constitution since the period of the revolu tion, none is more likely to excite opposition, and none, if carried into effect, could produce more important conse quences. it is not a law to alter some particular relation, some individual or limited interest. It is one which over turns the whole system upon *l►ich the possession of pro perty is now founded. It strikes at the very basis of that system which has so long subsisted in France. These Papers contain different reports relative to the affairs of the North. Long accounts are given in them of the funeral of the Emperor ALEXANDER. An Address of the merchants of St. Petersburg!' to the Empress, and a Rescript bestowing the dignity of a Count of the Empire on OaLoer, for his conduct in the late transactions, arc also contained in our extracts. The fact of IshssEL 11013ef re-appointment as Minister by the Emperor NI cit °Las is expend to give considerable embarrassment to METTERNICH, who has learned to dread his abilities. It is reported in the Salons of Paris that Ntc►tocas has written sn autograph letter to the King of ENGLAND, and, if the report have any truth in it, the Emperor seems very anxious at least to save appearances, and to make a virtue of neces,ity, in those ambitious designs which he is sup posed to have fermed against Turkey. A singular account is given in the Queltidienne of the result of the inquiries into the late conspiracy at St. Petersburgh, which is said to have existed in the campaign which terminated in the Peace of Tilsit, and to hare been discovered to At.exa Ds ft by BONAPARTI. ',From the EioUedated Tuesday, Feb. 21.1 TAtirAXIIIOO, Jac. 11. Yesterday the funeral procession which is to convey the mortal remains of the Emperor Alexander to St. Petersburgh left this town. After divine service, which was performed by the Bishop of Ekaterinnoslaw, it set out from the church at eight in the morn ing. The procession was led by the Deputies of Taganrog. Hos. toff and Marioupol ; they were followed, by the Authorities of the place, &c. Six Generals, bearing on velvet maidens the insignia of the Russian Orders, preceded the hearse, about which were eight of the late Emperor's Aides-de-Camp, who had come from St. Petersburgh to perform this last sad duty. The hearse was followed by the Aides-de-Camp General and the persons attached the Court of the Empress, wearing black cloaks ; two squadrons of Cossacks with their lancet lowered closed the rear. It was not possible to see without emotion the affliction of those old soldiers, who are but little accustomed to pay to death the tribute of a tear. Never was a religious ceremony more simple or more august. It did not seem to be the funeral pomp attendant on the remains of a powerful Monarch, but a numerous family following with aftllc. tion and tears the obsequies of a beloved father. The population of Taganrog, augmented by that of the environs, lined the streets through which the funeral passed. The town, I which was the last that had the happiness of possessing within us walls an adored Monarch, must doubly feel the misfortune of hay. ing lost him. While the Emperor was among us he looked with kindness on all who approached him, and often he even went up to persons who did not venture to accost him. He visited every place ; no want was unknown to him ; no misfortune without consolation. Accordingly, on seeing the funeral pass through the same streets where the presence of the Emperor had so lately diffused happiness and joy, sincere tears were given to the memory of a master whose benefits will be eternally engraves on our hearts. A great many persons of all classes went to a great distance on the road to St. Petershurgh, and a great crowd followed to the first stage, 20 aerate (13 miles) from the town. Count Orloff Denisoff, Aid-de-Camp.General, conducted the fu. nerd to St. Petersburgh, accompanied by ten of his Majesty's Aid. de-Camps. We are happy to Ray that the health of her Majesty the Empresa has resisted the cruel trials to which she has lately been exposed. All those who have witnessed this great and striking example of resignation and love have been profoundly affected by it. Iler Majesty has not quitted her apartments except to go to church ; religion alone affords her consolation. The Countess of Stroganoff, who came to Taganrog immediately after the news of the Emperor's death had reached St. Petersburgh, is still here. ST. PETERABURGH, FEB. 4. The public has not forgotten the noble support unanimously voted by the merchants of this city to the School of Commerce. Her Majesty the Empress Mother, the patroness of the establish ment, has deigned to approve the sentiments of the merchants, and to give them the most flattering proofs of it by a rescript addressed to the School of Commerce, and by a gold medal engraved by her Majesty herself in 1814, and sent to M. Kousotr, the Mayor of the city. In a meeting on the 16th of January the merchants, after receiving with profound respect this proof of her Majesty's favour, and the medal which is to perpetuate the memory of it, unanimously resolved-1. To preserve this inestimable pre sent in the Hall of the Guild of Merchants, in which It shall be Placed with a suitable inscription near the portrait of the Emperor. 2. To commission the Mayor to go in person with a deputa tion of the Merchants, to lay it at her Majesty's feet the hotline of their respectful and lively gratitude. The Mayor and deputation were accordingly presented to her Mr.je,ty on the 20th by his Ex century Senator Bulimiclotf, Chief Director of the School of Ctm,merce. RESCRIPT.

" As a testimony of our regard for the qualities which distinguish you, and as an acknowledgement for your excellent conduct ou the 26th, when, following the impulse of your zeal, you rendered an equally important service to the interest of the throne and of the country.

(Signed) •• NrctloLas." column. It seems, by the Papers that are now before us,' as well as by those previously received, that the Congress of the United States is paying particular attention to the naval and military establishments. An academy at Western Point, especially devoted to military instruction, appears to have excited considerable interest, and to be now placed under very strict management. The formation of canals and roads is a favourite project at this moment with the Legislative Body, and various Bills have paved for the promotion of this object. The improvement of the judicial system by these papers seems to be closely attended to. By the following paragraph the mission to Panama is still in abeyance. The subject of the mission to Panama has not yet been decided upon in the Senate. It is said that it meets with serious oppo sition in that body. We extract the following from the New Turk Daily Advertiser of February Ist: We find in a Mexican Paper a project for the establishment of a regular trade from the western part of the country to the East Indies, ander the direction of a company. The object is to render Mexico the place of depot for toe commerce between Europe and the East; and this, it is supposed, if once accomplished, would give the same direction to that front the United States and South America to Asia. There is little appearance of feasibility in the project as long as the expenses and risks of transportation across the country are so great as at present; but the proposition of such plans is a favourable indication of the incipient enterprise of the country, so long repressed by the oppressive policy of Spain. - • Speculation is still proceeding amongst the Americans, who arc forming a joint company for the production of theatrical representations. Sidakvarre Company.—The bill now before the Legislature of this busts to incorporate the Shakspeare Company in the city of New York, proposes to erect an edifice to be appropriated to the theatrical representation. The capital stock is not to exceed two hunted `..liousand &dim The petitioners are Henry Astor, Hippolitc Barren, Clarkson CmPus, John A. Graham, J. Drake, Richard Ricker, and Hugh Maxwell, Entire. and others. The stock, property, and concerns of the said corporation to be ma naged by nine directors, being stockholders, to to elected yearly. The stockholders are to be holden in their individual and private capacities to the payment of a!! debts contracted by the company, to the nominal amount of their stack. Any one of the stockhuld ers may be sued, and the company can also be stied as a corpo. ration. The proceedings of the Catholic Aggregate Meetings, which are given in another part of our paper, afford but little evidence, either of that union among themselves, of which so much is said, or of that good feeling towards their Protestant fellow-subjects which they so cordially profess. This is not a time to invite partisans to their cause; the period is injudiciously chosen. As a consoli dated body of authority, the course they are pursuing is more likely to alienate their friends than to conciliate their enemies. It has too much the appearance of a struggle for power, and of a struggle, too, which looks for success in systematically loosening every principle of allegiance. The peaceable demeanour of the English Catholics sets them an example they would do wisely to follow. The sober part of their fraternity have long been of this opi nion. Why are they not unanimous? The Times, in a tone of invective which its bad English renders hardly intelligible, continues, day after day, to declaim against the power given to the Bank of England to issue small notes until October next. "It is now clear," says this journal, " that the total measure (Qy. What is meant by a total measure?) of a return to cash payments has failed : it cannot be executed : and all that is now proposed is an issue of Bank of England small notes, the issuers of which will not hold themselves responsible for forgeries, in lien of the country small notes, the forgeries of which were paid by those whose notes were imitated." As to the total measure of a return to cash payments having failed, we were really not aware of cash payments being discontinued, and we therefore cannot at all understand what is meant by the "total measure of a return to them having failed." All that Coverntnent aimed to effect has been gradually to extinguish that smaller de nomination of notes of the country bankers, the excessive issue of which not only occasions a local rise of prices, but tends to supersede the metallic currency, and to introduce by degrees an artificial paper credit, supported by means of a circulating medium, which, not being convertible into cash, is open to all external accidents; and when any such accidents occur, produces all those disastrous consequences with which the trade and commerce of the country have been so recently visited. It is the object of Ministers to regulate the quantity of paper issued by country banks; and so far from this object having ,hided, it is the complete and immediate success with which it is likely to be attended that made it necessary for Ministers to interpose a remedy to the inconvenience that might arise from the country bankers thus suddenly abstainilig from all further circula tion of one and two pound notes, by enabling the Bank to supply the accommodation required. But the Times journalist affects to turn pale and to shiver with dismay at this proceeding; lie can hardly find language flippant or vulgar enough to express his alarm. " We really," says he, " look upon this subject with despair. We can merely treat with contempt the assurance (and those who are gulled by it) that the Bank is only to issue its small paper till next October. If it stops its issues in October it will open them again in February, or as soon as Parliament meets; or as soon as its small notes in cir culation are beginning to wear out. Why, but a week ago, a metallic currency was to be resumed by the Bill now in the Committee. By that very Bill it is to be re moved from us for three-quarters of a year. Every step taken in this affair is deception." If the exigencies of commerce should require the issue of small notes by the Bank of England to be extended be yond October, the public, we are sure, may safely confide in the wisdom of Parliament to act as the interests of coin-' merce and of the country shall, at the time, be found to require. Whatever line of policy public expediency may suggest will, on the same ground of expediency, be justi fied. If at one time, and under wine circumstances, it may be prudent to narrow the facilities of public credit, at another time, and under other circumstances, it may be' proper to increase those facilities. When it is said that " but a week ago a metallic currency was to be resumed," an inference is conveyed, which we all know to be false, that a metallic currency dues not exist, and that Bank notes are not convertible into cash ! What is meant by saying that " a metallic currency was to be resumed" which was nut suspended? Such language can only be held for the Purpose of wilful misrepresentation. It is natural to suppose that every true friend to his country would most anxiously wish success to every mea sure which might assist its merchants and tradesmen to surmount the difficulties by which the commercial world has been thus unhappily overtaken. But so mischievous and inveterate is the hostility of the Times, that it is im possible to read, without abhorrence, the sentiments in which it is expressed. It is scarcely credible that any public journal could so far outrage every feeling of huma nity, as to make, in the face of the nation, such a sangui nary confession as the following:— " Our only hope, as in an affair of moment, is in the people:—THAT Irlle ritIQUIRNCT OF 711 a FORGERIES, which must take Race, will render them ski ,11 accepting the Bank small notes." journal is the organ.

Ile should also press the necessity of issuing commercial exchequer bills. lie did not imagine it could be done without a distinct clause. By this means he thought that the country would have the advantage of commercial paper. DEBTOR AND CREDITOR ARRANGEMENT BILL The Report on the Debtor and Creditor Arrangement Bill was brought up and read. TOBACCO AND SNUFF. Mr. CALVERT presented a petition front the tobacconists of the county of Middlesex, London, and Southwark, praying for a roluction of the duties on tobacco and snuff. lie slid that the nisrufactucers of tobacco° and snuff had gone to great expense in procuring machinery for the prosecution of their trade. They complained that, in consequence of the high rate of duties at present imposed on those articles, a great temptation was held out to ainugglers, which injured the legal profits of the fair dealer. By lessening the duties they would, in his opinion, increast the con sumption; and by that means would benefit the trader, with. out decreasing the revenue. The decrease of and shilling per lb. it the duty of tobacco hut year had that effect. The duty on wir.e continued at too high a rate ; if the duty on that commodity had been reduced further, instead of only 24., the good effects would soon be apparent. Government were aware that the duty on wine bad been too great ; they knew it to have been greater than it could bear ; but the reduction which they made was insufficient • it could not produce so extended an advantage as if they had gone further. _ . . ..Mr. RENNET was convinced that to lessen the duty on tobacco retold have the direct elect of increasing the consumption. Mr. Alderman THOMPSON said That the petitioners were a highly respectable body of men. The reduction of ts. per pound on the duty of tobacco was of consequence. He hoped the Government wool t, in the present unfortunate aspect of affairs, pay every at test of to the commercial interests of the country. He hoped that the Right llonourable the Chancellor of the Exchequer would commode a reduction of this duty. Sir R. k'ERGUSSON said that he had a correspondence with official persons on the subject of those duties, and the impression ou his mind was, that the duty of Is. per pound on tobacco would be dropped altogether. He would be happy to be informed by the Right Honourable Gentleman (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) whether it was his intention to withdraw that duty or to con tinue it. The MIANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the answer he had hitherto given to such questions at that now pro posed to him, and that which he telt himself called upon to give in the present instance, was, that he reserved information on those sub jects for his statement of finance. • PAROCHIAL EDUCATION IN SCOTLAND.

EAST INDIA JURY ACT. . . . . Mr. WILLIAMS WYNN moved for leave to bring in a bin to vegetate Juries in India. As the law stood at present, by the con. struction of the Supreme Court in India all but British Pubjects were excluded from Juries. He would glee the moat extended in. terpretation to the kw. He would consider all persons born in the Pettish dominions British subjects. The Supreme Court in India gave a contrary interpretation or the law on this point, and it there. fore became necessary to set that interpretation aside by amending the law itself. There was a large proportion of the population, denominated the half.east, who were excluded from being summon. ed oh juries ; besides these, there were the illegitimate children of European parents, who were excluded. Could any one suppose that this was consistent with British legislation? He wished to see this state of &it' ga changed, and a better substituted. Ilia object was to admit ell wood and sufficient persons to serve on juries in In dia. That would esubrare all those who ought to serve, and ex. elude none but such as Would any where else be excluded for good and substantial mune.

Mr. CAI/CRAFT said, that in the debate cm the Navy Esti. mates It had been stated that officers of marines who had entered into bole order were no longer to receive their half-pay.

IVe are glad to learn, that the directors of that body have with a praiseworthy attention to the wishes of the public, come to the resolution of restoring the establishment upon an improved and more attractive scale, reserving for the erection of their new water-works that portion only of the grounds which had formerly been occupied by nut-houses. The building of the water-works is, we understand, on the eve of commencement. The water is to be raised from the Thames on a plan not hitherto adopted, and which con,- blues greater purity with copiousness of supply. Tee steam-engines of tiO horse power each are to be ernml, and the water will be forced as far as the summit of Brix ton-hill, where a piece of ground, several acres in extent, has been purchased for the formation of a reservoir. Monday, in consequence of a communication received from the Chamber of Commerce at Manchester, a meeting of the different 11Iercantile Associations in this town took place, when it was agreed to send a deputation to co-operate with the one from Manchester, in soliciting the Govern ment for the loan of exchequer hills in aid of the present commercial embarrassments.—Lirerpool Advertiser. A subject of great importance is engaging the attention of the principal merchants and capitalists of the City. 1: is stated that the Bank Charter allows that establishment to lend money on goods, and it is confidently asserted that the Ministers arc urging the Directors to come forward with some measures which might be put in active operation for the relief of the public distress, in which measures the Ministers would co-operate.—Globe. We have been favoured with the following ropy of a letter from en Officer serving as a Volunteer in the Grill: army:— " Camp of St. Anne's. near Lepanto, Jan. 17, 180 . " I take the first opportunity of writing you the account of the late victory.- On the 12th there was a sharp skirmish, in which the Turks lost a number of their best men and officers, and fell back to the village. About seven o'clock nest morning the cot• test began with the outposts, which fell back into line. A large bode of Alatnclukes were charged by our cavalry. headed by Colossi Aleston, and totally routed. Our riflemen in front picked out the officers as they advanced to their post. Our artillery was served by French and English volunteers, who had orders nut to fire till the Turks were within 200 yards. The enemy now entleasoureil to turn our left wing, but were received at the point of the bayonet by General ball.yette, our second In command. The battle now raged along the whole line with the must deadly fury. The village of St. John was three times taken and retaken, with great slituste ter ; their second in command tell in the last attack, when they gave up the contest, leaving 800 dead on the spot, besides priVneri and wounded.

A report has been in circulation for some days in Paris, the truth of which we cannot guarantee, though it is sufficiently consistent to deserve some attention, at least as a rumour current in the diplo matic circles. It is said that the Emperor Nicholas has written to the King of England an autograph letter, in which he informs him that the state of affairs in Russia prevents him delaying any longer the passage cf the Pruth, and terminating at one blow the contest in the East. The Emperor adds, it is said, that lie is determined to use every means in his power to avert the calamities of a general war, and to maintain the harmony which has subsisted for ten years among the principal States of Europe. His Imperial Ma esty expresses a desire to come to Kane understanding on this soh. Ject with the Court of St. James and the other great powers, and to act in concert with them in putting into execution those designs which lie affirms that it is impossible for him any longer to delay. This letter is said to have been communicated to the French Go vernment, which required 41; hours to consider of its answer. Lord Wellington could not set before receiving it, though it turned out to be a mere categorical answer. Lord Wellington set out, however, for St. Petersburgh immediately after its receipt. . _ (From the Quotatettne.) The Commission of Inquiry at St. Petersburgh has succeeded in discovering all the secrets of the conspiracy which has recently broken out in Russia. It is said that the plan, which has now moved abortive, is of very long standing, and existed previously to the campaign of Tilsit ; that a French admitted guard took pos session of someJtaggage, among which papers were found which contained the proofs of a military conspiracy ; that Bonaparte, on receiving these, sent them privately to Alexander ; and that this action was the cause of that friendship which Alexander so long testified towards Bonapatte. Alexander smothered the aflitir, and the conspirators disconcerted and wat c h e d i n t h e i r mot i ons , con tinued tranquil for a long thug, Orloff, on appearing before the Commission or Inquiry, took, it is said, a haughty and menacing tone, telling the Commissioners that his head might fall, but hands enough would remain to avenge his death and that of his ocean pikes ; that they must not expect him to imitat e th e c o nd uc t o f Trubekoi.
