Baronet bad been attended during his unparlia. *watery and unfeeling conduct, by the brother of the most notonotta tnutor (Arthur O'Connor) that ever breathed. He (Mr L.) did not toy that Mr. Ror O'Connor was ■ traitor ; he had 110 reteion to tMnk so ; but. certainly, if suspicion attached eves remotely to any individual. such society shoUld not be ,ought by any Member of the I louse of' C 011111100.• rbie traitor to whom he hail alluded was at present in the hostile country, publishing en ' English Newspaper, is strong reprobation of the system of the English Government. Such cam ping. tl.en, as those. wallowing in cbsatfeetion. should, with the utmost care, be avoided. He cost eluded with saying. that h e had some doubts re specting the legality of the proceedings of that House, and concurred iu the Chuut.ellor of the Exchequer's resolution. Sir Jelin rOant. Most heartily agreed to the am end inent. Mr. fiumunson said, he should be sorry to thought as undervaluing the powers of the I louse ; his opinion of those powers had alws)s been the same. He would beg lease to state the groutt4 or his present vote. Upon the committal of Gale Jones, be was firmly persuaded that rood' a measure should not have been token. He WAS our of those 14 who voted for his (Gale J release from ',nano ; and he thought that such release was most loudly sod imperiously demanded, when he con sidered that the punishment hail been ioentred by IrelOOn of his (Gale Jones's) conduct lo t ion the oct a lio° of the escluaott of strangers from hcartii,r, the debates in the Manse of Commons. The Honourable Baronet wrote immediately alter to his constituents !Ira the subject of this imprisonment. Ile (Mr. H.) would not make any remark as to the temper exhibited spoo the occa,ion ; a violent temper WS!. bad one upon any occasion, and upon this there might possibly have beau some precipitation and • some passion. As to rallying round the Govern ment. he was rein'' , to do so ; but, as to rallying mad Ministers, it would be ridiculous and absurd. No, - when Gentlemen talked of rillyiug, let their eyes be directed to the measiire of Reform, li e concluded with voting against the Right Honour able Gentleman's amendlneut. Mr. Cutter's rose to explain. He thought it moat prudent to oppose the consideiation of the later, (ruin its haring been one of gross and dip. graceful tendency. He did not coaceire that it was at all Or to state that he had meant any per-. social allusions. He lamented that the debite had taken such a torn, hut found it his ditty to stand in the Government ; this was his motive. however digerati it might appear to G. ntlemeu. He m e. lkwawledgod that the precautions of Ministers upon the late Gemara were extremely well directed. and arliewed, that, twirler the same circumstances, he would himself have acted in precisely a similar misuser. He trusted that the electors of Webt isiestrr wield shortly see, without partiality, the Ass. Baronet's conduct. if there existed no !ma lignity. he would agree to withdraw his mot ' Mr. WinTliagaD opposed the withdromo g of the motion. Mr. Gootint said he did not consider the Right Rath Gent.'s (Hr. Pereemeid Resolni ion was suf ficient to express the abhorrence hr' felt at the lion. Egresses conduct.

Lord Cocoesis It said, that. with respect to Gole Noes, he should not have been committed; and with regard to Sir Francis Burdett. the House of Commons bad no right to break iota his house.— The expressions seed by the Honourable Baronet, be acknowledged, were unlit to be used—perhips improper, perhaps dieentious-i-but his arguments were all fair and conclusive. The Noble Lord re membered. that, shoat seven or eight y ears ago, he had himself resisted, as the Hon. Baronet had, and there was no gyration as to the legality of the resist once. That the House of Common. should punish for those deeds which were nut punishable in any Court of Law, was right ; otherwise such a respou sibility was unprecedented and improper. With respect to Wonders, he conceived their conduct upon the occasion was prudent, and ...mid have been unexceptioaable' had they not adopted that last measure. which ha d drawn upon them so much reprehension. tie would only make one more ob. *creation, which was in contradiction to an assertiou made, that the military were not engaged in the execution of the warrant. Thu fact was. that there were, at the time of the arrest of Sir Francis, two or three military men amongst the foremost. The House of Commons ought to have been ashamed of adopting such a line of conduct ; hut the decision of that House would have no influence upon the opinion of the public.. Mr. B. BATHURST said. that what be had just heard. had nothing to do with the subject before the House. He bad to state that it had been given in evidence. that the civil power had taken into ceAtody the person of Sir Francis Burdett ; nothing tad been said of the interposition of the military force except by the Noble Lord ; whether the No ble Lord was present at the time or not. he did nut know. He did not think the full object of the Mouse had been accomplished by the arrest of the Hon. Baronet. Sir CHARMS:I BVanCLL said. that every caution ahoold be need in speaking of the relitive situation of the military and the civil authority—the excel. knee of their conduct. mid their hussaMty in re sisting as infuriated mob. He then adverted to the &toter which a gentleman the other day in curred. haviag been shot at by a ruffian. The Hoe. Baronet should at least have a little hume ri!y `--had be (Sir C. Burrell) been in Sir Francis aurdett's situation, he would rather surrender in iron., if be could have recourse to law for redress, then be die occasion of • drop of spilt blood. Lord Couscous and Sir Joan Oana explained. Af , rr which— Mr. WI Lizeroacs spoke in favour of the repri mand. He recollected that a person in a very high sirwitios had been called before the bar of that H-use. who had offroded its dignity. With gaiety ant m-rtini«tii he appeared. but be went sway an ahered. lowered man, conscious of his in hn^r"Y ; and this effect be c onsidered 100.1 t•q. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for SCOTLAND said, it had been insi n uated, that Gentletnen on his side of the House repeuten of their vote for the eornMit tal of the Hon. Baronet. So far from feeling in such manner, lie rejoiced iii his vote, and was well assured that Ministers acquieceed with hint. Strangers were ordered to withdraw, but no di vision took When we were re-admitted, we learned that no division had taken place ; we found Mr. HULME SUMNICII ou hie legs, proposing some amendment, which we could not undeis'and ; but he objected to the word Mr. Witinsavtn would not :spec to the motion, inc Inc thoo4lit nu offence had oemi committed by the Flom ilsrostrt.

He was led to heti, that something unfair hail taken 'dace; mill the persons who instructed him to make 14.. motion which he intended to do, were ready I! verify, on oath, that those oho hod r right to priority, by their early application, were refused, sad that others, wno bad made a subsequent application by the llle.lllll of a private door, were arcominAated. These re ports cistutng in such an y piertionable shape, he thought, if it was oily in justice to Sir John Piers, who was at the head of the office, an inquiry ought to take place. _ . _ The i'lt Ncev.rott of the Excittouga observed, that he wino pertrettr %Moil; that un inquiry should take place, but einoodered, whatever mansion had taken place, had been caused by uvvtake.

The following are extracts:— ■AYONNT, 11•101 Letters from li,yonne state, that His Catholic Mummy made his solemn entry in Malaga, on the atb of this month. Numerous deputations met the Mao, on his approach to the city; and, on his arrival there, he received the congratulatory ad. dresses of the Con.tituted Authorities, and then proceeded to the Cathedral, where Te Deism was solemnly sung. 111P1.111. MARCH 17. Prince PIGRATELLI STRONGuI.I. General of Ui. vision, sod Aid-de-Camp of His Majesty the K t so, is to proceed to Spain, to take the command of the Neapolitan troops, who are in Catalonia. The further irnorsidrriiiion of Sir FRAN( Is Ilt DSTIs Letter to the SPCNICII, taintd the utteu tion of the House of Commons during the whole of last night. The first motion on the subject was made by Mr. Cumvxo, who, thinking that it would be most becoming iii the House to pass over the letter in contemptuous sileuce, prop. , • " That the debate should be adjourned for six months." Mr. D. Glo( seconded the motion. Almost every Member who spoke, condemned the conduct of Sir F. I)URDETT. The CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER moved, as en amendment to the original question, a Resolution expressive of the opinion o f th e 11.iuse, that the letter was" a high ag4ravation of the Baronet's former offence, and only to be passed over for the presmt, on account of his being already under punishment, fur a breach of their privileges." The debate continued until after one o'clock this morning, when the motion of Mr.CIatWEN, and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE- QcEß's amendment, were withdrawn, and a new amendment, proposed by the latter, wee agreed to, stating "That the litter was a flagrant abuse of the high privileges of that House ; but it appearing that the SERJEANT-VT.ARMS had executed the warrant, and that Sir Fitasius Bu an err was safely lodged in the Tower, the letter should not lie inserted up on the Journals of the llouse," which motion wits carried unanimously. The weather, upon which Ministers threw so much blame, in the case uf the Walcheren Expedition, has at length proved their best friend. The rain, which fell almost incessautly all Monday night, an:l until seven o'clock last evening, greatly contributed to prevent the assemblage of any idle and disorderly gronpes of the populace ; and, if the means of safety resorted to in the distribution of the mili tary all over the metropolis and its vicinity, did not inspire an idea of danger, we might consider our selves in perfect safety and tranquillity. The extra guards were all withdrawn no the outside of the Tower. Ingress and egress were allowed, as usual; and all is perfectly t►anquil. There was not even a centinel at Sir Fitancts's door; and Guy persen might visit him with AS perfect freedom as if it were his own house in Piccadilly. Such, however, are the apprehensions entertained by Government, of the probability of a recurrence of the tumults and riots ; that yesterday, orders were issued to the Bloomsbury and several other volunteer cori,s, to parade daily at 6 o'clock ; and if was intim:.ted, at the same time, that those who did not attend on this occasion, would be expected to surrender their anus to the Adjutants of their 14:orwruve regiments. Tire fullowifig is a statement of some of the per .nos kil lea auui wounded, in the vicinity of the Tower, on Monday :—At St. Bartholomew's Hospital, two men, who were wounded in Crutched-friars, were ilast hi t 6:0 wide red in a fair way of recovery. At the Globe Tavern, kept by Mr. DALII; o at the corner of Retying-lane; Crutched.friara, the following persons were wounded:— BRIAN, bncklayer, in the employ of Mr. THOMAS, wound ed by a ball in the neck, and taken to the London Hospital, since dead—A servant of • corn-meter, shot in the breast, and taken to St. Thomas's Hos pital, consirleied in a dangerous way last night— Another man, name unknown, died at the same Hospital—A 3 oung man, name unknown, collect• ing-clerk to a corn-factor, is Fish -street, wounded, but Likely to recover.
