HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, IMIIIART 20. The message from the President yesterday, trans mitted documents relative to the imprisonment of Richard W. Meade. our Consul at Cadiz. The first is a letter from Mr. Adams, Secretary of State, of the 26th of December, and the answer of Mr. Oisis, of the slgrls. Mr. Adams says, • es It was to have been presumed that, upon the first moment that such a fact was emphatically presented to your Government, an order would instantly have issued from it for the di.charge of Mr. Meade from his imprisonment. The President regrets twit after so irony and such urgent repre sentations in his behalf by the Minister of the Uoitod States at Madrid, it should yet be necessary to 'Afros this call upon the most common prin ciple of justice tope. lam instructed by him to say, that iii renewing this demoted for Mr. Meade's immediate liberation, he coutitiently expects it will not be its vain."

IVESTAIORELAND EL CC nox The canvass for this county continues to inereme in interest. It appears that the friends and brother of Mr. Brougham have made such progress In his favour, that it has been necessary for the present Alembers (the two Molls of the Lord brownout, the Earl of Lonothilt) to lessee London rather pre cipitately. before the Committees hint mode their Greets Bug Report, anal on the eve of a Bill of In demnity. w h en their never-failing support of Aliiii sters would have been doubly useful. The Mem bers are going through a regular canvass of the county, atid nine-tenths of the freeholders will have au opportunity of peeing (what they have not done in that county for upwards of half a century) the faces of their Representatives, so called. Mr. Brougham is a native of that county, and de scended from one of its most ancient families. His Parliamentary duties have detained him in Lon don, as stated in his address to the freeholders. —We have seen his second address, slated from the " House of Commons," in which the new candi date seems fully to enter into the spirit and bustle of the contest. " I offer yogi my hearty congratu lations on the signal success which is attending your exertions. Go on as you have begun and your in dependence is for ever secured ; but do not relax in your efforts flout confidence in your own strength. As long as a 'Jingle part of the county remains inactive let your attention be directed to rouse it. .411 must hear a part in the strug gle; the honour of the victory must be shared by all. The moment that I can leave my duties in this place, I shall be with you, to encourage and to partake of your labours. I shall visit every corner of our county, which, from the gallant spirit it now displays, every one of us must be proud of belong ing to. I shall expect to meet you in public, that you may inquire into my Parliamentary conduct, of which I challenge the strictest investigation. Our opponents will then have many opportunities of ex plaining theirs; and those who remain undeter mined may decide between us.

Two clergymen have been engaged to perform Divine Service and execute other religious duties on board the several ships, and have undertaken to pay particular attention to the sick. It is with great reluctance that the Committee feel themselves obliged to state, that certain priPhes have islet.' advantage of the liberality of fl& con tributors. and applications have Wen made by per sons having regular parochial seMements..which they have been induced to leave fur the purpose of soliciting aid from this subscription. In consequence of such stlempts at imposition, they have coosidered it their duty to publish, fur the satisfaction of the public, that a former resolu tion, which confined the application for relief to be made within a limited period, will be scrupulously adhered to, and that hereafter no snore applicauts, of any description whatever, will be received. On the subject of dispaal, the Committee would beg leave to state, for the information of the public, that seamen, capohle of employment as" such, are in active demand, and that they .are warranted to hope that their establishment 'will. shortly he cleared of them.

As sonic wiliness were returning from Harrogate, ou Tuesday evening, they discovered • man ex tended on the ground, apparently dead. Assistance was immediately procured, and the hapless stranger was removed to the George bin, where, through flee huinaue elocution of Dr. Murray and Messrs.

Oa this sin gular case being known, the poor man was immediately visited by some Gentlemen of the town, slt, in the accents of friendship and delicacy, solicited him to state the cause of his distress. His answer was, that be had formerly been a farmer in North Britain, and had failed ; in consequence of which, be had made au attempt to support his family as a manufacturer of table-linen, ►ut had been piirsucil by min. fortune even is this second engagement.

It refers exclusively to the extent of the Army Esti mates for the . service of the present year, and com pares them with the •timates rotr the year preced ing. We, however, look in vain in the Report for any suggestions or recommendations tending to di. minish an expenditure altogether disproportioned to the financial means of the country•, and ■ fOrce wholly inconsistent with the character of our politi: cal constitution. It alludes, indeed, to a wish ex 4; pressed doting the last Session by the Committee, " That some means might he devised lbr rendering the foreign poswssions of the British Empire more efficient towsrds defraying the expenses of their own military protection, *islet their Value to the parent State must be greatly diminished by their commis ing a lasting drain un its resources.' To this wish we most heartily assent; but considering the pro portion the force employed at the charge of the parent State in the Colonies bears to the whole ins merles' strength of our military establishment. we do not think that the country will remain satisfied with even the concurrence of the Ministers in this desire of the Committee. It appears, that. com pared with the Estimate. of the last year, there is a reduction in the present year of about two thousand men, which has takeu place in the Irish Establishment. This causes a diminution of expense to the amount of 74.0021. 10s.-- There is also a dimimition in the Public Depart. ments of 16,557/.; in the Royal Military College, of 2,6401. ; in Corps to be reduced, of c14=2.16 It. These, with some further reductions, are counter balanced by an increase of expenditure ie several other items contained in the Estimates, leaving eventually in the entire, taken altogether, a dimi nution of charge for 1818, as compared with . the former year. to the amount of 188,0271. 19s. 3d. Among the items wherein the expense has in. creased, we find, with regret, the half-pay and military allowancee, exceeding the charge in the former year to the amount of 3,et31. l Os. I id. We are aware may be objected that this increase in the hall-i y is the consequence of the reduction in the effective strength of the army ; but we cannot for get the solemn promise held nut by Ministers in Par liament during the Session of 1816, that .04 all vacan cies occurring in the effective strength of the standing regiments should be filled up by the Officers on the half-pay of each regiment respectively." The numbers of gallant j , oung men who had braved the most arduous ganipaigns of the late wars, and who new repose ill inglorious care, relying on title promise of she 'Ministers, can attest how faithfully it has been observed. Many have been driven by impatience into the proscribed service of the South American , Jitilependents, and have been punished by an ex- post facto regulation for not being. contented to starve at home, relying on the golden promise; while in, every Gazette may be seen the names of their snore fortunate rivals, who are allowed' to obtain by pnrchase the poets that ought in honour, amid on. the faith of Government, to have been bestowed on the half-pay Officers as the reward or their past services.
