LONDON, SATURDAY, Just: 16. The business in the House of Commons, last night, was of extreme interest, as developing the . strength and temper of the respedive parties. Upon the motion that the amendments made by the Com mittee in the Defence Bill be now read, a division took place, and the ".Mister was left in a minority ; the numbers being, for the motion 63 ; against it, 69; majority 6. The Minister then moved, that the amendments be read a second time on Monday next, to which Mr. GILT moves' an amendment, substituting fee Monday this day three months.— This produced a scene of greater anxiety and agita tion than has been for many years witnessed in the House. The Opposition, encouraged by success, . and conceiving, from the appearance of the House at the moment, that they had still a majoiity, press ed for an immediate division while the Ministerial Party, anxious to immure time for their friends to assemble, made several speeches, of which very little novice was taken by the Opposition. Iu the mean tine, the Ministerial Patty had mustered its forces, and the House at length divided upon the motion, when there appe we 1 for it, 214 , agehrst it, 186 ; ma jority in favour of the Minister, ths. When the House divides, one patty remains inside, and the other goes out into the lobby. The Opposition last night were in the latter place, and the strangers haira foil vie*, and could perceive all that "passed among them. As soon as the house was counted, and.they found the Minister's majority so small, the greatest joy and exultation prevailed, and Va. Ftik addressed them as follows :—" Gentlemen, on Monday this fill will be debated again, ou its general principle ; whether that will take place on the engrosiment, or on the third reading, or whether there may be one debate or two on the question, I cannot say ; but I hope every Gentleman, who is inimical to the principle of this Irish,, will, on that day, make a poiat of attending in hi:, place." A general assent was echoed through the lobby to this exhortation. The zra of BON APAR rE usurping the Imperial dignity can never erase to be regarded, by the loyal as well as by the religious, with dread and with ab horrence, b.cause he owes Lis elevation equally to crinics, and to religious apostacy, or atheis tical blasphemy. It holds out equal hope to the most dangerous among infidels, and to the most atrocious among criminals. What impious dis believer, and what bat barous assassin, if favoured by fortune, has not the same claim to an Imperial sceptre with a BoN A r art? The plots of the Jacobins, the writings of a Baissor, the thallrine of a MAIL AT, and the speeches of a Roaesr cart and his Conven tional regicides against all hereditary rank, have not degraded it half so much as BONAP AR r title and outrageous ambition. History records no where before in civilised nations a nameless upstart, who, with one step, seated himself upon a throne. Voir A lit has said," that a fortunate soldier was the rill)? King," bot with the origin of all the reign ing houses of modern Princes, every' body is ac quainted ; their genealogies, and the atchievements of their ancestors, have been published for centuries, and chew the fallacy of die lunch philosopher. It is trite, all of them descend from illustrious warriors, who, in combating for their countries, or for their re ligions, were knighted, made Barons, Counts, and Princes; but ages passed away, and repeated aaions of ,r',ll, of valour, and of virtue, were necessary, during several generatiens, before they obtained this last rank ; and then, again, centuries elapsed, before they became Sovereigns. The pteseut house of Austria, reigning for three . . . hundred years, not oat's' Grand Dukes and Kings, but as Emperors, descends from the old 'Counts of Haupsliurgh, whose Nobility dates from the seventh century. The Emperor 'of Russia, acid the King of Swarits, are dessendams from the Dukes c:: • 1 folsiein, Leredititry Si'vereigns over that D.lchy, since the, eleventh cenitry.

LOUIS XVIII. is heir to sixty-seven Kings of his family ; and the. Kings of SPAIN, NAPLES, and ETRURIA, areas Bourbons, his relatives, and of course of a birth equally brilliant. The King of SARDINIA descends from the Dukes of Savoy, as the King of PRUSSIA from the Dukes of Flrandenburgh ; and the ancestors of both these Sove reigns wer eindependent and reigning hereditary Dukes seven hundred years ago. The forefathers of the Regent of Ponsuo•r. have reigned for 160 years in that kingdom; and were, 200 year! before, Dukes of 131 i AG A SEA. Bati pi. Houses of Saxony, Wirtem berg, laden, aria, Heue, and Mecklenburgh, are all equalli ancient.—and their ancestors have reigned, as Counts 0 1 . Princes, some for seven, and lessr none for • • • centuries. There is not one of the present '• Xtinces, Counts, or Barons, in Germany, ever sci. petty or so poor, who does not reckon three, four, or five hundred years Nobility.

Let France and Europe remember, ,that In the space of 160 years Lions the' Augustan period, no less than seventy Emperors governed Rome; which, on the average, allows little more than two years to each . ; while, for 1400 years, the Throne Of France has been Slied with only sixty-seven Kings. Let it never be forgotten, that the civil convulsions, mbar. chy t and tyranny, under the reigns of these seventy Emperors, laid the fotindation for that state of liar. barium and ignorance, under which Europe groaned for centnderafterwards—and that it owes its present civilisation, and advineement in learning and sei.. cum, to the examples and encourakement given by two of the predecessors of Lours XVIII. ; by Fesisers I. and Louis XIV. At the death. of BONAPARTE, the world will be convinced, that the same bayonets, March have bestowed on him, the su. premo potter, will give it to his successor; and that until a 800 a soli be restored to the throne of France, the hereditary sovereignty belongs to no family, but to the whole French army; and of course, that every vacancy of the revolutionary throne will be followed in the French, as formerly in the Roman empire, by new disturbances, civil wars, plunders, murders, and proscriptions.
