PARLIAMENTARY INTELLIGENCE. HOUSE OF COMMTvaDar,Jusz 12. TM Speaker took the Chair at • quarter before four o'clock. . TM Soothwaik &trig. Ezekomet Bill tooled through a Come and the report ordered to be received on Moody. 31rosamere from the House of lewds notifled their Lordships' sweat to the Bill ho giving effect to Mr. Payne Knight's Donation of Coins, etc. to the British Museum. IRISH Lb. Mr. BERRIES: moved the te.committal of the Warchnnsing (Ireland) llilL The lion. Member, in the Committee, begged to eleplain AAA, 'certain inimmiceptiatill Width had gone abroad amongst the Irish:Members on the aabject of this Bill, and to show, that, so Mr from its being prejudicial., it would be most edvantageous to their interests. It was on all aides admitted to be, molt desirable to assimilate in every respect the collection Of the cuetonis and reveruc between the two countries, and to remove all impediments to their complete identity. With respect to the min eriple and practice of warehousing, there wee a great distinction be.' tween the two countries. In Ireland, particitlatly In Dublin, Cork, end Sligo. there were few warehouses that did not belong to the frown. In England such was nut the case; anti this Bill was in. o...educed to enable the Cmwn in Ireland to dispose of their ware.' houses to private Individuals; bet it win deemed remittent for the public commercial interests, that in making these arrangements the Crown should take cue, that in the future eaten of charge made by private individuals into whose hands the property should de volve, a maximum 'should be struck, beyond which the charge: should not be increased. There was nothing intended to interfere i with the fair compel ititm among the warehouses t but, on the con trary, this provided arrangement for the public; anti the rates' .would be &lowed so as that the Irish merchant should have hill 'acconimodaden at twenty-five per cent. chtaper than the lowest rate ie England. There had been great misrepresentation respect. ing this 11111 in Ireland. lie complained of the unfairnest of the comrade= of eaten which had been drawn out and pehlished in the Dublin papers; and said that he was prepared with newel do. cements to show the fallacy of what had been re. mated. Ile had since communicated with them who were best acquainted with the whole subject ; and had also satisfied and allayed the opposition rat several comusercial deputations from Ireland, who new admitted that they had misconceived the real purport of the 11111. In order, however, to remove all further misconceptions, he was ready to alter the commtneement of the practical operation of the Bill until the to or (Pemba next. In the interim he was anxious that the de tells of the rates should be submitted to the consideration of the Pareomentary einnissiooers, who were engaged in these moat useful inquines into the state of the revenues in Ireland. eVith respect to the supposed increase of patmnage to the Government, , which it was toed would atiae from the Ilill, he line only th say,l that the reverse was the case, for the Bill would unquestionably elienate the patronage hitherto enjoyed by the Customs, and transfer I it to private handl. Mr. C. H. lII'TCHINSON expressed the satisfaction he felt at I the Honourable Member's earnest desire to satisfy all the pordes wte , thought theineelved about to bee/fixersd by the Bill. Ile had rensen to hope, that if the Dublin merchants had =tuned satisfied the other merchants from the different quarters of Ireland would l; et wally ready to withdraw their opposition. Ile must, how. ever, earnestly impress upon the erovernment, the nee:lolly ofd paying the utmost attention to the ropresentatiorneof the Irish nine thaws, so as to give them every Saility •in their commercial ar rengements. The Honourable Member then referred to some of the details of the Bill, otwllich he had heard certain comeilainte• wet lamented that there wits not time at the instant to consult We constituents. He wished the opetation of the Bill postponed from I October to January next, for at the latter period any to:Creme, remedy could be immediateleopplied by the Parliament, which he presumed would be then sitting. This ereold be fair to all parties, and in no respect diet-rimed:igen the public interests. Sir 11. let KNELL declared himself peefoctly satisfled with the Lion. hlember's (Mr. 'terries) enplaned= of the Bill, which remorteloU the objections that hoe previously been urged to its enactment. SW. N. (!IeLTHURST ales tridieiew his opposition to the Bill eIr.C.RATTAN also espeesied 'ltimiler satisfaction, hoping that the details would be made geneedly pelatable to the commerce of Ireland. Colonel DAOWEIrIe was glad to hear that the explanations were so generally satisfactory, and hoped OW further opposition would be made to the Mr. I , TII I NSON declared that he'would not press any per tinacious opposition to the Bill after what he had bard; he wished his observations to stand merely as a suggestion to IM 31a jesty'slimernment. The House resumed, the report of the Bill was received and agreed to, and the Bill SUPER +mimed flow third reading on Monday next. ANNU mu.. On the motion for committing the Superannuation Fund Bill, Mr. BA NKKS complained of the operation of this Bill, which would throw a burden of fifty thousand a-year upon the public. Ile alwaye thought the rates of superantrostion were made too high, and the period of service teo short. Too much was throe for indi viduals, and too little ter the public. Above all, lie dejected to giving, in this manner, a sort of +rested interest to indi viduals. He knew that certain qualldeatiobe bad been introduced under the superintendence of the Treasury • but lie much doubted whether, from the pressured ' business at diat Board, them quad cations would be applied. Ile never, in principle, could under stand why Men engaged In public offices, who selected themes. eloyments, should be made afterwards a burden on the public, a eon of resource Dot looked to nor expected in any other line of life, where men were obliged to depend for ultimate support upon their' own provident arrangements. They ought to depend upon their own public resource:stand private sr ascents by the institution of insurances, or in any other manner they thought proper to sub scribe. These being his opinions, he should move as an amend ment, that the 11111 be orniiiiittedthisday'month. Mr. el ABERLY said, that Irving always pressed . the coos& derail= of public economy on the Home, be was 1111110‘1% to ex plain his mesons why ou this occasion he should support the origi nal motion. Ile thought that economy bad indeed which withdrew from old public servants the reward of long and laborious service. Ile could nut approve of that bounty which merely allowed men by tontine to subscribe for their own ultimate provision,. but, on the contrary, preferred that the reward should be held out by the public as the fair gratuitous inducement foe zeal and fide lity. Wear:, lord BINNING tienieil that this was a new burden about to be introduced to the public; on the contrary, it was the perpetuity of . an old and well-regulated and just arrangement between the coun try and the public servants, and the public semitone and the placing things as they stood before the Act of IRV. He then pointed out the difference between the Clerks in the India Board and others ; tor three clerks, whatever be their merit, whatever their service, were not relieved by the old Superannuation Act • and he cou ld rot holieste to advert to a most meritorious and faithful public see aunt, who bad retired two years ago from the India Board, Mr. Cumming. Ile emend the India Ward in the year 1791, end re tired after thirty-one years eminent service. fie was chief clerk in. tee revenue and judicial derailment, which comprised the loom . important part of the internal government of India. For years be laboured in compiling useful interniation for the erovernment and tee Indian auths , in a degree much beyond his fair peed= at du'y, but from a zeal and amiduity unexampled in the office. . Bet the revival of the charter, and new circumstances of lard t oinwallie's establishmilit, exhileted Mr. Cumming's labours its extraiwillnary degree, and to him It was owing that many bene bend arrangements, set forth in the Fifth Report of the India Cons. meter, fur his share of which (the Madras part) the House bad voted bins dielike and s sum of WC Mr. Cumming retired at lid years of age, with a constitution shattered by business, with merely tie common retirement allowance of the office, supposing he hail I'WIC nothing but the usual common-place routine of business. In coreihoretion of his opinion of the merits of Mr. Cumming, he reed an extract frtmi the minutes of the Boone which recorded in the highest terms, the uterit of that indivithial. After a few wools in support of the Bill from Mr. T•AXT (we 1.104.1CS110Ad) and 31r. STUART WORTI.ET, Mr. T. 34'1 1.144/N was mute happy to concur entirely In the, pm, Alone of the Ital.

Chateaubriarttl's fall still occupies the columns of the Paris papers. Yet a few days, and this versatile politician will be thought of no more. The Septennial Bill has passed the Chamber of Deputies by a majority of more than goo; Nal the Journal de; Della's, faithful fora long week to its departed patron, pours forth its regrets that M. de Corbiere, on the Saturday when the law was agitated, " took that order in the debate which belonged to him who was then his illustrious colleague. The Chamber of Deputies 'would otherwise (adds the Paris Journal) at least have heard the song of the Swan." We do not know whether Clrateaubriand's political career is closed, and this poli tician of all hues lies sung his last note. But it is The Bulletin of the Laws contains the laws fur the formation and constitution of the Provincial Assemblies in the Provinces on the Rhine and in Westphalia. Thew Assemblies are to consist of four estates, viz.:- 1. The formerly immediate estates of the Empire. 2. The Equestrian Order. 3. The Representatives of the Cities. 4. The other Landholders. The members of the first estate appear in person, and when pre• vented by particular circumstances from attending in person, may appoint a member of thole own family, or sonic member of the second estate, as their prosy. All the other estates appear by repre sentatives elected by themselves.

His Majesty having given to the Crown Prince, our Viceroy, the command of the Swedish and Norwegian troops in the camp in :amnia, he has beeepleasist to order that during his Royal High ness's absence, the Senior Counsellor of State shall transact the business of the Chief Member of the Norwegian Government. STOCKHOLM, JUPE 1. On the 23d of May an Extraordinary Chapter of the Swedish (Were wee held, when several communications were made by his Majesty. ' A very strange epidemic disorder prevails among the rein deer in the north of Sweden; it was at first thought by sonic to resemble hydrophobia,—but on the contrary, the poor animals, as soon as they are attacked, ran at full speed till they meet with a running stream, Into which they plunge and perish, to the great loss of the unfortunate senses, whose herds constitute their whole property. It is estimated that above 31100 rein deer have perished in this manner. clear, from the Avowal of the paper professing to be his organ, that Chateaubriand and hid party were militating measures which neither Brett Britain nor America could have seen matured without resistance, and that, bad bit ministry lasted, the peace of &trope mint belie been dis turbed. " The affairs of Spain (according to the Jourrta _ . des Drbats), of the itast,and of the Americans, conducted as they were, prudently and in silence, would have ap peared in their proper light. The noblest futurity (it adds) was before us. It was wished to gather fruit. befbre it was ready. It has not been obtained, and vio lence has been resorted to as a remedy for precipitation' What can these dark auguries mean, but that Chateau briand had urged the fatal war with Spain, from which France has drawn so little gtory, and the wretched Spa niards such a succession of mischief; that in the East, a double game with the Ottoman Was to be played,' Counter acting the fair polity of Great Britain as far as possible; and that secret measures of hostility were in progress against the rising independence and greatness of the South American provinces, which nothing but fears of the power and opposition of this country prevented from being openly dttplayed. This is the plain interpretation of thieartiele, •if words mean any thing, and such a `• futurity" the dismiscil of Chateaubriand has at least destroyed. The Jon nut/ (1.. s Wets talk■ of Chateaubriand as if, like Richelieu or Mazarin, he had held the political destinies of France in his hands fiir years: " Could they really be lieve," asks this paper, " that the dismissal of M. de Cha teaubriand, like that of such and such a Minister, would pass as a matter of course.

The unfortunate Mr. Gourley remains still in close custody, for the outrageous attack on Mr. Brougham, as be pried through the lobby of the House of Commons on Friday evening. There can be no doubt that the unhappy man is insane. On the same spot, and nearly at the same hour, Mr. Percival was assassinated, as he paused to the House, by the wretched Bellingham, some years since. The temperament of both these individuals appears to be much the same; both acted under the deep sense of imaginary wrongs. e think Mr. Brougham has had a great escape for his life. With the infatuation that seems to have possessed the unhappy man who committed the outrage, it is only surprising that, in place of a switch, a deadly instru ment was not raised against Mr. Brougham, and his de struction on Friday evening assured. The Speaker com municated the occurrence on the information, we believe, of Sir Thomas Lethbridge and Mr. Lytacton, with great Calmness and dignity; and the House, under all the cir cumstances, acted with peculiar moderation and humanity. Mr. Brougham himself, much to his honour, set the example. The outrage could not have been tolerated for a moment but at the hands of a maniac: it was a flagrant, monstrous breach of privilege, independent of the personal violation, and was calculated to rouse merited indignation from every Member belonging to that House, and to draw down its heaviest visitation on the offending individual. A statement appeared in a morning paper of Saturday,which was copied into those of the evening, and which, in one or two . _ man who since the Itestoration has overturned a system instances, must hire been Most erroneous. It mentioned that an offer was made to the unfortunate individual who perpe trated the outrage, to discharge him from custody if an apo logy was made to Mr. Brougham. This assertion, we have been . asstred, is most Unfounded ; indeed, it carries refu tation on the face of it. It is impossible that Mr. Brougham, or any other Member so insulted, could put himself in personal collision with such an individual, or consider the attack in any light but as a subject to be disposed of by the House. If these attempts were not most seriously dealt with, no Member of either House of Parliament could be safe. raasion and prejudice are every day abroad, and . Feltons and Bellingham would fill the corridors and menace the personal safety of those whom disappointment or public enmity urged them to consider as en'etnies. The career of the unhappy Mr. llourlay has long been most ec ' centric both here and in Canada, and it is probable that his last ray of reason was extinguished by his late agitating suit in the Court of Chancery. We Jo not wish to see and personages tomewhat more powerful than those who have now the ascendancy—was he to disappear immediately on his disgrace ?" This is mere bombast. Chateaubriand is a political cmpyric, a dealer in inflated verhiAge and nothing else. The Journal des Debats forgot, in its la bounil eulogy, to commemorate his having brought the waters of the Jordan for the baptism of the theb "promised of nations," the young Napoleon; or the rhapsodies in verse and prose poured out by the cored:tent Chateaubrland, to celebrate the French Marcellits, when he compared him blasphemously to a great Redeemer. No; Chateaubri and's day is gone ; he was lifted on the wave of agitation by the Royalists for a while. All is now calm, and the Foreign Minister has sunk into insignificance again. Tal leyrand had fifty times his talents and his influence; to' his exertions the Bourbons owed their recall and the throne they now possess, and yet he has not been employed for years. De ('tiles was almost equally superior, 'and he too has long been absent from the Cabinet. What can the versatile Chateaubriand or his partizans hope for tinder such circumstances? surely nothing. Ills secession must be beneficial to France. A Hamburg!' mail brought papers from Hanover, iitT La, Copenhagen, and Stockholm to our office yesterday up to the sth of June. Extracts from each of them con taining any thing of political importance will be found to follow in our columns. It appears, that while the Papal authority in denounced with the whole terrors of the law in this country, and those Introducing err obeying its mandates are sithjyti to a prremsmire, in the kingdom of Hanover the Papal bull, settling the endowment and boundaries of the ancient Mello/tries of Tfilderbeim and I)snaburg, has been recognized by royal authority, and that his Majesty, as King of Hanover, having convinced himself that the bull of hie I Mimesis agreed with all the arrangements and negotiations with the see of Rome, has given his Royal assent to the bull in question ; and declares it to be bind ing on the Catholic church in the kingdom of Hanover, ordering a copy of it, in the Latin and German languages, to be annexed to the proclamation and printed in the bul letinof the laws. Thisdeeree is dated from Carlton Palace, the Unit of last May. Thus, it appears, that complete tolerations not only prevails in his Majesty's hereditary do minions, but that even the Pope's authority is recognized by Royal authority, for the settlement of two princely sees of which the heir apparent to the crown of this( realms holds one—that of Ostiaburgh. It seems •' There are more things in hewn and earth Than arc ilr:aint of in our philosophy." any measurcs adopted against the unfortunate man, but he certainly ought not to be discharged without full security being had against any renewed sttempts by him of the same ouuagcous character. The New Vagrant Act, as amended by a Select Com mittee of the Lower 'louse, is now before us. It contains some objectionable clauses ; but, taken as a whole, it is • great improvement on the legislative extravaganza of the last year. 'het statute Was a monstrous anomaly ; it gave unconstitutional powers to Magistrates, totally inconsistent with the liberty of the subject. IVe are only astonished how 'oat a BIA, stuffed full of oppression, could have passed the ordeal of both Houses, and have become for an entire year part of the law of the land. From the limited duration assigned to this Act, it would appear to have been passed as an experiment. If so, public opinion soon sate in judgment, and derided on its demerits, and endless op pression followed in its train. The new Vagrant Act was generally regard's' us a monstrous innovation on the laws and institutions of this free country ; and every voice in consequence was loud in calling Am its repeal. The pre sent Act, which appears to have been more carefully pre pared, and to be much less objectionable in every way, repeals all former enactments on the subject of vagrancy, and then declares what individuals shall be considered as vagrants. Accordingly this Bill subjects to its penalties every person competent to maintain Mussel(' or herself, or his or her family by work, or by other means, and wilArlly refusing or neglecting to do so, by which such individual, or any of his or her family shall become chargeable to any parish, township, or other place; every person also return.' ing to such parish or other place, from whence the order of two Justices of the Peace had removed them, unless they shall produce a certificate acknowledging them to be settled elsewhere, have the penalty of vagrancy attached to them.

A subsequent clause gives power to the Justices at Quarter Sessions, on any incorrigible rogue being corn' tnitted to the House of Correction, to examine into the cir cumstances of the case, and to order, if they think tit, such individual to be kept to bard labour, for any period not exceeding one year ; and also to subject the individual, not being's female, to corporal punishment, as in their discre tion theTmay see expedient. These are the principal en actmenla of this important Bill, which is every way supe rior to itairrEdecessor. No rewards are given to informers, and unfounded charges and perjury arc thus prevented. The former Act was one of gross inconsistency and ty ranny. The present Statute was prepared, we believe, under the eye of Mr. Peel, and received much attention from ttte Right Hon. Secretary, who has been moat inde fatigable and impartial in all the duties of his high office, and the Vagrant Act of this Session is, in consequence, of a far different description from the anomalous Statute of the past year. IV; rinse* (Stixnav) JUNK 13.—The King arrived at the Royal Lodge yesterday afternoon, on hit way from London, where his Majesty staid to dinner, and then pro ceeded to the Castle, where the King arrived Mon after nine o'clock. This morning his Alajesty, attended by his household, heard Divine Service, in the private Chapel, in the Castle. The King took an airin this afternoon, in his phaeton, up the Long Walk, an d called at the Lodge, where his Majesty staid some time, antl afterwards re turned to the Castle to dinner. The two military bands' at present stationed here, played alternately on the terrace this afternoon, which was thronged with company that have daily arrived from various parts to witness the week's I sport. On Saturday afternoon, at half-past three o'clock, the King left his palace in Pa ll Mall, in his travelling carriage and tour, escorted by a party of light horse, for `Windsor. The Duke of York and the Duchess of Gloucester, vi sited the King on Saturday. Yesterday morning, at three o'clock, the Puke of Cla rence, attended by Sir Henry Blackwood, arrived at his residence in the Stable Yard, St. James's, in his travelling carriage, from Deptford, at which place his Royal High ness landed at twelve o'olock, having left Sheerness at six o'clock yesterday morning.

The utter hopelessness of his Majesty's permanent te covery, is at present, as you may suppose, the prevaili ng topic of private anxiety and of political speculation. 'Hi s present state is exactly described in the words of Nlanant SIAIGNE, where, in one of her letters she is speaking of Pom ne fait pas an pas qui ne prism etre le dernire et l'nn we k grille point on Ile paisse lui dirt WI derider adieu. This eventful crisis, in which every d a y teems with some event or other, to hang a doubt upon, is extremely puzzling to the public functionaries ; and wen it may : it will infallibly bring the principles of many a the Ultra Royalists to the test, and will try the purity of their attachment to the Howie of Bourbon. They will soon be called upon to give an intelligible and practi ca l translation of their ambiguous device, Vire le Rot nentrd menus. —They will strive, no doubt, as they have hitherto I incessantly done ' to identify their cause with that of re . ligion ; and will endeavour to effect their purpose by the aid of that old superstition, which such unsparing efforts have been made to revive throughout the French nation: but the progress of knowledge in Europe has advanced too rapidly, and spread itself too widely, to give any chance of success to this mod Christian pro ject. Whether on the event of his Majesty s demise, the two great political sections will be able to continue the maintenance of their power with the preservation of thc public tranquillity, remains to be seen. The true line of national policy is strait enough before them, if they have the patriotism and good sense to follow it. They must go ° with the population and property of the country. A Minis try of of a neutral character will never do. The affecta tion of such a system would be seen through in a moment; outwardly and to all appearance moderate, it would be secretly in league with the Northern Alliance. The Go. verninent could not probably take a more odious position than this. It would be, in effect, to ulace itself in sub. serviency to powers essentially hostile to France ; but each party, we may be assured, will act for itself, and with a view to its own immediate interest ; for the remark of VO I.T AIR I, sarcastic as it may seem, is perfectly jux— " Chaucer vit pour soi. Savor qui petit est la de►ise de chue particulier. The rumour of another CoNtiaras still prevails : Of what real utility can this be? Not all the crowned hada of Europe can prevent things from taking their course. If the French Revolution and the Revolutions which fol. lowed it, had been produced by any cause which Som. reigns could overrule, in this case there might be some assi,Tiable result from their assembling in sacred council, to &liberate on the course to be pursued fur preventing all political agitations in future. But the fact is, the same general causes that :produced that Revolution, and which have worked that change in the state of society, which has been the result of it, those very same causes have ever since been, and still are, in operation, and they will go on I to produce their effect, in spite of every effort of the weed or the sceptre to oppose them. It is quite idle to call a Congress about the matter. The revolutionary movements which those Monarchs would repress, are quite out of their reach: they arise out of a change in the public mind. The gradual progress from ignorance to knowledge ; from poverty to wealth; from barbarism to civilization: this is the reed rerolution which has taken place in their dominions ; and these Sovereigns must consent, whether they will or no, to promote the welfare of their subjects, anti to govern in obedience to those maxims of justice and political improvement, which have come, at length, to be pretty generally understood, and which it is, therefore, too late for them to disregard with safety. The spy system, and the system of passports and bayneta, hive done all dust they ever can do—and more than they even ought to have done—and reason, after all, is as active as ever, and arbitrary power is not a whit more secure. The German powers succeeded in establishing throughout their dominions, the most rigid restrictions upon she liberty of the press • but they did not succeed in quenching the spirit of freedom, or in staying the progress of the human intellect; they have raised a terrific power, which is working in secret throughout the whole of those states; but the present system will assuredly one day ex plode and where then will the rulers look for safety ? The Arts go on improving, and Science is every where patronized in France. The Lucy es is to be immediately re-opened for the benefit of students four days in the week, from nine till four ; also to foreigners, on producing their ts, and to the public on Sundays, as usual. The F re n ch not make every national exhibition a matter of pounds, shillings and pence, as we do in England, sorry am I to say it. I understand that a contribution is now levied on all persons who visit WESTMINSTER ABDIN. What I cannot even the POETS CORNER be sacred from the intrusion of this shopkeeping spirit? Must even our me ditations among the tombs be made a medium for selfish ness and extortion? Surely the Government will one day turn these money-changers out of the Temple, and keep at least the House of God free from toll-gatherers? You have hardly an article upon which a contribution, in one shape or other is not levied—for all this you have privileges on Change—but it is too much to erect turnpike even on the very road to Heaven. You ascend St. Paul's wi:h pence and twopences—for Nlam mow has his worshirs wider every roof, whether sacred or profane. The Church and the Playhouse have both their prices of odmis,ion. There teas a time when we could " drink of the waters of life fre,./e ; " but this time has long since gone by, and in our Jaye, when pre& hing is a trade, it is very expensive for a Christian to take cap Lis freedom.

DIOGENES did but too truly satyrize our species, when he went forth with his longhorn in search of an honest man; as for an honest Minister, it would be a Cabinet curiosity.

A Sunday paper contains the following paragraph : " We received information at a late hour last night, from a quarter on which we have relied, that M. Teleran, the Ambassador to Lisbon from the Court of France, had been appointed Minister for Foreign Affairs • and th at, in consequence, Count de Villele had resigner 1 the pzrtfolio. The political views of the new Minister are understood to be as lofty and despotic 3R those of Chateaubriand.
