On the third reading of the Austrian Loan Bill being moved, laud HOLLAND rose at although it was not dlats i gn mertri, *an eft , Medeoproeite, at the debate Jana tithe plait bs th sage of the present bill, he had no hesitation in trespassing on their Lordship's time, "hike he made a few remarks upon it. His objection to the bill did nee apply to its principle, but to its logy. Ile was ready to , ecknowledge, and had ac k now . r hr edi l rl, eo that the sum paid by reason of the convention entered into with Austria, fir the repayment-of the ken this country had ad vanced to her, though less than the people were entitled to, was more than they ever expected, and much more than the humble indivi dual who had the honour of addressing their Lordships reckoned upon. lie was ready to admit, that in obtaining that sum great address had been displayed ; and he thought the Noble Earl and his colleagues had managed the negotiation with great ability in in not claiming more, in which case, probably, they might have lost all. But he could not au further, and acquiesce in all the high sounding teems that had been thrown out respecting I the imperial debtor himself. He had heard of the generosity that had been evinced by him ; the high sense of honour he must enter. taro that induced him to pay the loan, and the forbearance that he had shown in not resisting the claim ; but he really could not see so much of imperial honour in a man paying the whole of a just debt, much more in paying • very small portion of it. To say the best of it, it could but be considered as negative honour, and the act would not bear that measure of inflated praise that was heaped upon it by Noble bards opposite. But, however that might be, be was ready to acquiesce in the Bill, as a measure that would tend to carry into effects must desirable and lung-wished for object ; but he was not so much inclined to commend the wonting of it, which appeared to him to have no reference to the transac tion that gave rise to it. He was not a critic in and therefore was not inclined to take exceptions to wards fun m , isty, but he could not understand why Parliament was to be.thrown into perplexity, by wording this Bill to such a manner that so light was thrown by it upon the subject that gave it existence ; and after the perusal of it their Lordships could know no more to what trans. actions it referred, than they could by reading any other Bill on their table. Ile could easily imagine that the high person who was alluded to in that 11111 might have great objections to its appearing on the face of a document entered into between his Ministers and those of this country, that he paid his debts by composition, ard instead of liquidating them to the utmost amount, he had received value fur paying a very small portion. He could easily imagine that it could not be very agreeable to his Imperial Majestyto have it go forth to Europe that he paid six millions with two mill ions five hundred thousand pounds, and therefore there might be a reason in the framing of this coavention, to make it palatable so far to the imperial debtor, as not to notice in that treaty the actual sum ori ginally advanced, which the 2,1iet1,00111. were to mime. Pasant in high stations might be supposed to have a OMNI of honour of a more than ordinarily delicate desaiption, and they mien not like to see the truth plainly stated. It mieht, on that account, be necessary to disguise from his Imperial Majeity's eyes that feet, at least, that the repayment was very uneqsaf to the original sum ad. cancel. It was natural that he should wish it nos to go to poste. city that he paid his debts by conyerithen jther_t *Vac sup rand that ueciawnseitite 'veneer virnamme circumstance which would otherwise have been inexplicable, that In the conven tion these was no statement of tbe money really due. But if cour tesy to his Imperial alajesty led the framers of the convention to leave out that material fact in that document ; was that any reason that the British Parliament was to be heonwinked in the same way ? Were Ministers so tender of the raincoat their Imperial debtor, that they chose to make the wording of their Intl as much without reference to the transaction it wee connected with, as the conven tion they had become a party to ? The nicety of the terms in form. ing this convention sheeted what care had been taken to avoid bring ing the real transaction into view, for by it no one could ascertain whether bat lniperial Majesty had paid off the whole loan he had received, with praiseworthy punctuality and accuracy, or whether he had generously made a present to England of 2,600,9th1L or whether be had got rid of his debt by composition. The manner in which this document had been worded, with reference to its object, reminded him of a gentleman of some celebrity in politics and literature, when lie (Lord Holland) first entered into public life, he meant Mr. Home Tooke, who had undertaken to apply phrase ology to the sciences of politics said metaphysics, but the barren nature of the one, and the sandy soil of the other, were adverse to suck speculations; however he should like to apply Mr. Tooke's system to this docunient, and try by that test the couventioe, which gave rise to the present discussion; in which not one word of the debt, or of the specification of the sums by which it had been created were mentioned, but only, that his Imperial Majesty was to pay to the Government of this °ninny 2,M1U0,6001.; but for whet reason, or under what cinunistances, the partite to it did net con descend to advise. He had carefully referred to the derivation of the word " pay." One he hail found, which was supposed to bare its derivation from Purls, a village or district, because it was believed that payments came front those places, preening popeli pre refeeic tcrtiguliber prententer. It was not a very good derivation, but they would to well to consider from whence money Mlle it did not conic fr o nt Kings or Parliament, but from the people. The next derivation be met with wasps:clue, because it was considered that those who paid performed a bargain. The last etymology that he could find at all in point, was certainly more applicable to the convention than either of the others that he had quoted, which was poeare, " pacify, to appease ;" that, of all others, appeared to hint to be the nue derivation of the word " pay" in the conven tion, for the repayment of the Austrian loan; that be believed to be the true reason for that convention, and no desire en the part of Austria to repay it. This transaction showed that his Imperial Ma jesty hail no wish to pay his debts, but he felt it necessary to satisfy those borers of the Bennis Parliament, who constantly were press ing hint for payment, by the liquidation of one-eighth of his debt; and he was now to be held up to the eyes of Europe u the most magnanimous Prince, whose high sense of every obligation led hint to the iiinst chivalric points of honour. if his Imperial Ma jesty felt any gratification at this act, be might continue the read lection of it in the Austrian Monarchy like the hidden Fleece, and Pass it to posterity as a glorious inbelitsoce. He (Lord Holland) I h u t heard sneers of contempt thrown out against literature, as coming from that quarter of the world ; that the first Emperor of Europe required no learning, his subjects were ready to pray tut him, and to light for him, and were devoted to his service. When, how ever, his Imperial Majesty again visited his University of Pavia, perhaps they might be inclined to gloss over these harsh feelings of their Sovereign towards literature, and mix up • due portion of that courteous obsequiousness which is so necessary to win the hearts of continental Sovereigns, with any efforts of literature they might aspire to offer to his Alajesty, as might induce him to say, " How churning is divine philosophy; " Not harsh and crabbed, as dull fools suppose, " But musical"— as the Court of Vienna could wish. But to return to the subject immediately before their Lordships: he could not see why the British Parliament was to be called upon to recognize a Bill so de fective in its mumble, und which hid no reference to the original transaction that it was connected with. The future antiquarian could glean no information from the preamble of this Bill, if it were in existence fur I,itee years. as to the reel nature of the busi. ness that gave rise to it ; he could not learn from it that any money went from England to Austria originally. It was now some years since these loans took place, and sonic of their Lord ships were probably tug aware, although he unfortunately was old enough to remember the fact, that they were granted in INS and ; and the arguments used in favour of them were, that they would bring Austria into a direct contest with the great enemy of Europe, as the power of France was then considered ; and that it was of the greatest possible consequence to the common cause to make his Imperial Majesty take part in it. Another argument he well recollected used at the time was, that the security obtained fur these loam was so good that this Government could sue the Emperor in his own Courts, as the Austrian Government had given debentures, bonds, and Clod knew what ! But the most extraordi nary fact connected with this transaction was, that the money was actually not paid till Austria had made a separate peace with France, and was paying money to the enemies of this country ; for their Lordships would find by the dates that the six million were paid In May, and the treaty of Ceram Fermin was signed in April; and their Lueslships should recollect that the annuity guaranteed to Austria fa 2 years being altogether five millions, made the whole amount to be liquidated by that Power 12,60040 K ; and the perpetual annuity that the country was now saddled with amounted to more than five millions. So that the claim of Eng land, taken in the e, was more than 17,500,0001. without taking into the calttittZ l e ga Compound interest. For this sum the country received 2,500,0001. which he did not wish todepreciate, but he did not know why the framers of the Bill should wish to in volve it in mystery, and not allow the real MlAllaien be be stated in a document emanating from the British Parliament ; however, reasons might induce them to disguise facts in the convention. It was extraordinary to hear the way that this repayment had been designated by Noble Lords opposite. It had been called a Gad tend, which was certainly a droll term to give to the highly-extolled payment of his Imperial Majesty. If it had fallen from him (Lord Holland) instead of from lips flickering with praise of the Austrian Sovereign it would not have been so much a matter of wonder; but coming from the quarter it did was whimeical enough. for only one inference could be drawn from the term. He would suppose that he had in his pocket a 10,0001. note on a merchant in the city, with which he stepped to the other side of Temple Bar, and there made his inquiries respecting his credit and responsibility, and heard front a brother inerchint that there was not an honester man in the city, that his credit was excellent, his wealth undoubted ; that he was a perfect " Sir Andrew Freeborn ;" but if you get 1,0001. of your money you may think yourself well off. He (Lord If.) knew that an action at law would lie against his informer. He would repeat that. by the Bill, it could hardly be known whether the money alluded to was a composition, a whole payment, or a free-gift. If the magnanimous Emperor those to pass it off as a free gift, it was not contradicted by the Bill before them, but might appear to posterity as if he had said to this Government--" You have on former occa sions been very generous to me, and I am now desirous of making you some rented, and I beg your acceptance of two millions and a half." It appeared by this Bill to have CMS like a shower of gold, ' to which every one was Invited to come and lap. Did the church want money ? Did the Crown want money ? Did science want money? Ilem it was for them in abundance. But this shower of gold, like most others that they read of, took itself wings and flew tiny. If the people thought it right that their money should be spent in budding and repairing palaces, he had no objection to such as efffirw,Ptiation ; but they at least ought to have the option. By theebSe. It Wagon Odd thing that this dumb whish was dead,* the Adieu in Europa, was always coming to rellament far enthey, mid never did shy thing for itself. It appeared to hate been the whole design of the framers of this convention and Bill, to impress on his Imperial Majesty and the public a false view of the subject; for the people from whom the money emanated appeared to be quite overlooked—like Gideon's fleece, they were only to be plucked. If this was a God-send, they ought to participate in it ; if the pay ment was an imperfect one, whatever there was of it was due to the People. But the only object of the transaction seemed to be to release the officers of the Crown and servants of the coun try from responsibility with regard to this loan, of which they had ••heard so much, and to give them a sum of money for chuiehes and palaces. He was the last man who wished to interfere with the constitutional jealousy of the Crpwn ; but he could not help remarking upon the comminiun, that had been appointed for the repairs of Windsor Castle. In his view it was one of the most unconstitutional commissions that had taken place since the Revolution. It took that business which strictly belonged to the great Officers of the State, and the responsible &d -alliers of the (:town, out of their hands, and placed it with a com mission which was not known to the Constitution. Ile was one of those who had no predilection for absolute monarchies ; and al though he wait in all affairs of government friendly to the maxim that thee was " wisdom in a multitude," in matters of war and mate. he thought one mind ought to guide in both instances ; as in the one promptitude was necessaryso in the other unfettered skill might to be exercised. He shoul d now move that this Bill be re committed, with a view to reconsider the preamble. He should not now, however, press their Lordships to a division ; and his object in moving this was, that every clause of the Bill might be dear and °Pew- The EARL of LIVERPOOL observed that as far as the first part of the Noble Lord's speech went lee had made a very entertain. elp of le tug el* lay, which had very much grati fi ed the House, at least if he might judge of their Lordships ' feelings by his own ; but with r to his other part, be was at a loss to know wh a t was t h e objection of his Noble Friend. On &previous night he had merely stated that K. bad some reeuarks to-offer on the wording of the Bill, which he (Lord Liverpool) supposed were merely referable to some immaterial parts of the Bill ; but he had that night made an attack upon the preamble of the Bill generally; but he would defy the Noble Baron to shew that it was not an accurate description of the transaction to which it referred. Nobody would suppose that it should be drawn up in an ungracious manner towards his Imperial Majesty; but the spirit of the Bill was not weakened by courtesy towards his Imperial Majesty, fot it recited the various acts connected with this loan, and what could it do more ? To say that Austria had received one sum, and had paid another, was more to read a lecture on Austrian power by the Noble Lord, than for any other purpose. He had no objection to this ; but it was stated by his Noble Friend more as a Counsel holding a brief, who naturally wished to throw discredit on his adversary, than in the fair way of discussion. The transaction, he asserted, had been moat creditable to Austria, although the money trans actions amounted to 20 million*, including can ad interest. Bthemith its Noble Trim* how -used- te ffiffsurn was due, when he saw the mild courtesy o this Bib ? He would answer that the Emperor of Austria, without any necessity or any intervening cause, proposed the re-payment of this loan. Whether he was in honour bound to pay it, lie soul! not then inquire ; but from ita having remained in his possession since 1797, subsequent to which period at any time it might have been called for, a: •not having been so called for, considering the various transactions be, tween the two Governments, from that ) - ear up to the present, he must have considered at least virtually liquidated. Ile recollected perfectly well whets this loan was glutted, that the point had been argued whether it should assume the shape of a loan or subsidy. The transaction bad been entered into by a public man, for whom he ever should entertain the greatest re-pect (Mr. Pitt), and he put It in the shape of a loan, being in his judgment the most advisable; but the Noble Baron must allow that whoever voted for this as a loan, would have voted for it as a subsidy ,• and In the lanes ease their Lordships would have been precluded from discussing the merits of the Bill before them. But he en treated Noble Lords to reflect on the situation of Austria since the granting of these loans. Since th e Treaty of Campo Foratia Austria had been engaged in four wars--the one that was con. i eluded by the battle of llotienlinden • the next that was ended by that of Austerlitz ; the third that do sed with the battle of Wa gram ; and the fourth that ended with the great battle that pro duced the glorious state of affairs now enjoyed by this country. It should be recollected by their Lordships that Austria fought to the last in every contest in which she was engaged ' • therefore, in a moral and equitable point of view, it could not be said that she had broken her contract at any time with her allies ; and she wise always ready to rise again, however she might have been reduced by the fortune of war, and to exert herself in the common cause. U. would put it to any of their Lordships, if, under these circum. stances, the country did not owe much to Austria. Four wars had existed subsequent to the loans. In three of those wars subsidies had been granted to Austria, and he could refer to Noble Lords op posite, then in office, to shew that they offered a subsidy to that Power, and yet the repayment of this loan was never asked for by them. Ile was not blaming them for so acting; he should have done precisely the same ; but if they forbore pressing the claim (they now seem so vehement about, and so dissatisfied at the small part that was paid) when the shoe pinched, then they had no right to say that His Majesty's Ministers were bound to ask not only fur something. but every thing. The transaction could not be charac terized as the Noble Baron had done. lie (Lord Liverpool) had al. ways held that this country could not be called upon to cancel what she held without some conditions; he had always said a reasonable arrangement was advisable for Austria u well as this country, and if be had been Minister of Austria he should have room. mended it, as he thought any man would who knew the money market of the Continent, and bow advantageous it was to Austria to gain credit. He was persuaded that when this measure was looked at coolly and not as a matter of debate in that Howie, the promoters of it would be looked upon as more than justified in carrying it into effect. One word he would now say as to the mist conception that this moneywas paid solely in consequence of the highs sense of honor of the Emperor of Austria: that certainly was the prin cipal cause, and the shale that Prince took in it did him the highest honour as a man and sovereign : but he could not allow his Imperial Majesty the exclusive merit of it. In justice it was due to his ad visers to state, and it ought to be known throughout Europe, that they strongly urged the measure, and one of them in particular dal so, without whose concurrence in the measure his Sovereign would not have confirmed it. Ile should consider himself wanting in duty to those high characters if he did not say thus much with re ference to their share in the act. The Noble Earl then defended the application of the money ; and concluded by observing, thai he could see no ambiguity in the Bill i that it described fairly the transaction it referred to, and that it would be unfair to the Emperor of Austria now to alter it. Ile was convinced the money received had satisfied the feelings of the country, and was as much as it expected. Lord KING thought it was necessary for the Noble Earl to' have given a inure eaplicit answer than he had done about the payment of this loan, which he so much extolled, although it had n called by one of his collation* a Gad-send, which gave no very high idea of the character of the parties from whence it came, as it clearly implied they would not li .ve paid if they could have mended it. This most unintelligible treaty had been signed sealed, and delivered, which accepted of a composition of a debt that Mr. Pitt had declared that the Emperorof Austria might be sued for in his own court. Whether that Minister meant the statement he then made as a delusion, he left to the Pitt Club to deter mine. (A laugh.) Ile ha d no doubt this cause, t' Rex v. Intperator," bad been the occasion of a great sensation in die Court of e Vienna, and very probably the whole money might have been originally paid into that Court, but the process of Courts, both of law and equity, was expensive and tediora. Probably this cause of " fleU I'. losimrator," was first argued and then re-argued, considered, and then re-considered, referred, and afterwards brought into Court again, upon which refreshers to Counsel were necessary. The papers were then taken home and lost, fresh papers were obtained, and in the fulness of date judg ment. All these are expensive as well as tedious processes, so that he could easily account for the diminution of the sum (a laugh.) With regard to the application of this notable payment, lie would only remark, that this was the age for COMOISIONOOS. There was a Commission respecting the Court of Chancery, and he heard them were persons who ardemly and earnestly prayed that there might never be wanting a suoicicnt supply of good mot, to defend it from all Commissions that might inuTfere with its delays la laugh.) The Earl of ABERDEEN begged their Lordships to reflect that the first loan that was granted was cd paramount importance, HOUSE OF COMMONS. TIMRSBUY, .3.lnacit 11.

RIBBON 1.01)0M. _ _ _ Lord ALTHORP rose, in pursuance of his motion, to bring under the consideration of the House a question of considerable importance, viz.: to move for the correspondence between Mr. Bennett and Mr. Oregory, in the year 1823, respecting the Ribbon Lodge. in Ireland ; an he felt that it was necessary far bun fo state the grounds why he thought the production of these papers should be granted. It would be recollected that in the 'you I dtllt great disturbances had existed in Dalway, and had extended them selves to Mayo. They became so alarming that the Merrther for Galway thought himself instilled in moving for the renewal of the Insurrection Act, which was accordingly enforced there. In cons.. quence of these dilnurbances many trials took place, and a pinch - nation was issued by Mr. D'Arcy of Galway, offering an amnesty to the disaffected, on condition that they would take the with of allegiance, renounce ill connexion with illegal societies, and give up their arms. Many were induced to comply with these tams, and there has been no disturbance among the people in that part of Ireland since; but it has been remarked in the report of the C.int missionent, that they have been particularly quiet and orderly, ar el that their conduct could not be too much praised ; he wieLoi to have that Proclamation, and any other that might have bee► issued, produced. It could also be remembered, that in the year 1b22 the Attorney-general for Ireland, whomfie then saw in his plate, in stituted several prosecutions against what were called Rlbbon-nien, for taking illegal oaths, and upon these prosecutions tee men were convicted. Subsequent le their conviction Mr. Ben acct, who had been their counsel, notified to hir. t lregory, who ' he believed was the Secretary at the Castle, that be had a commucicatiun to make to him respecting the Ribbon Societies. It was stasis/ that they %ere ready to take the oath of allegiance, and to give up their arms. Mr. Bennett finally pressed tot an answer, find the only answer he veteived at last we., that Ms. Oregery ha d laid before the Lord Lieutennt the CIIIIIIIIIIDICIOOII non th. t I the Sub. been , r the. vi I!! a tints ntle• tho,l f the t►ee, • jUn' ill the 4111 - , }•NI der o f oa•c • ter 01 voice' place.
