Tins part of the Bill had reference only to the enlisting of iodividuala ; but he had another object, which was of so much the more importance, es the molter referred to was a more ellienblee viola. tier, of the profiNeed neutrality of the country, and that was to prevent the equipment of ships of war, for warlike powwows, in the harbour* of Great Blitaiti and Ireland, and other ports under the power of the wonted empire. He did trot, however, ty this part of the measure mean to place any restraint on curninerciel speculation. nor to prevent vessels believing to the contending parties from entering our harbour, , , and there receiving pro. net and such assistance as the absolute steers soles of the crews may require; bat the Bill should 'amend them from being supplied with warlike stores, from exchanging cannon. or oh. taiiong assistenee calculated to give one of the parties an unfair advantage. The Right Hon. and Learned Gentleman then argued, that by the law of nations the Gammon], of this country pos it-bard the right of enforcing the neutrality of its pubjects; for otherwise, the acts of unauthorised iodsviduels might force the country into a war, contrary to its interests and its wisher.

He begged leave to know whether it was intended to punish all those who were stow engaged is the bwiernelesit servie., and whether the Noble Lord purposed le send a fleet into the Pacific Ocean to bring home the thousands of seamen who were engaged is the cause of the Patriots ? . _ . Lord CASTLEREAGH said, that it was not intended to give R retruspeciive operas to the Rill. Mr. G.

He wished well to the rause of the people of South America, but would not willingly trust himself Ili speak of the tyranny of Spain, lest Isis feelings might lead him beyond the strict hoisteds of order. He denied shat this Bill was an amendment of the law, it was in fact a new measure, for which there could be f tno pretence. The measure was not one of neutrality, but of 'motility to the Independent Governments of South AIIIITHA, he should therefore oppose it. Mr. %t''a wt. approved of the alteraliou proposed in the old law, so far as to reduce the penalty un entering into foreign service ; because experience chewed, that, although even in Ilse iriges of Geo. 11. several indiviiiials entered into the service of foreign states, the laws remained as a dead letter. He also approved of the Rill, because he thought it not eon. 'Weal with the principle of neutrality, that one party should have au advantage over another. He objected, however, to the clause which constitnteil the second offence a capital felony.—(" it is not capital," from Me Treasury Bench.) It was of little tuatier—for it was not likely that an indi vidual who had suffered the fine and imprisonment with which the Court would probably visit the °finite, would again offend against the measure. Colonel Wow) spoke against the measure, which was in its suture iticonsistent with the principles of love of liberty which mice esistioveished this country. If it was sincerely ineant to maintain • strict neutrality, let Ilse Statutes of Geo. 11. be repealed, and let Spain stud her emissaries to this cootory, if she thought her cause of such a stature as would be espoused by any of the people.

Last night the ATTORNEY•GENERAL. moved for leave to bring its • Bill to prohibit subjects of this realm front enlisting in any foreign service, soil from equipping armed ships for warlike purpo.est without previous beernee from the CtIIWII. This measure is ;professedly en so to maintain a strict neutrality between Spain and her revolted Colonise.; but from the 'rents which have taken piste in this country with repect to the ierreeent unhappy contest in South Ainerica, and the strong feelings in favour of the Colonies which prevail among every class of our people, no doubt can he entertained but that the measure is meant to operate against the progress of independence. Lord CASTLEREAGH, in explaining to the Mouse why this measure had not been brought forward at an earlier period, stated. that siegociations had heels carried on for the purpose of inducing the great Powers ul Europe to interfere in toe quarrel, and that while those negoctatio►s were usedeterinmed the British Government was not disposed to perform ally public uct connected with the subj. et, but that all such stegociations were now completely terminated. This is Hit irnporta:a piece or intelligence. It chews the feeling that has influenced the great Powers of Europe, and their resolution not to support Sp in in a domestic qmoriel to oppress her subjects. The contest will now he decided by the rel,tti•e strength of the cootemling parties, and although by the oper•tiou of this Hill the lodependents will he deprived of no small portion of that active assistance winch they have hitherto derived from this country, their opposition ha• reached such a point of roil. sistency and power, that no doubts can be enter tained of their final success. Mr. GRENFELL b ght forward kis proposition for Recuring to the public the benefit of the appli cation of the Sinking Fund to any loan to be raised in the present year for the public service. After a discussion of considerable length the motion was negatived by a majority of 117 to 39. Paris Papers of Monday last have arrived at our Office. They state that Prince LEOPOLD of Saar- Coburg intends shortly to proceed to Switzerland, on a visit to his sister, the Grand Duchess CON STANTINE. An article from Vienna says, that it is quite certain that the twin daughters of the King of SARDINIA, born at Rome on the Igth of Sep. tember, 1803, will shortly he married, one to the King of SPAIN, and the other to the sou of the Infanta MARIA LOMA of Spain, Duchess of Lucca. For some time past considerable numbers of Russian serfs, belonging to the lands either of the Crown or of Noblemen, succeeded in escaping from their native country, and settled with their families in Poland. For the purpose of checking this emi gration, the Department of Police has proposed to the Council of Ministers, whether it would not be proper to require from the Government of Poland the return of these colonists, considering that both countries are now united under one Crown. To this question the Emperor ALEXANDER returned the following answer : " The kingdom of robotid possesses a constitu tion which cannot, si.d ought not to be violated un der any pretext. It must preserve inviolate this palladium of the safety and prosperity of the nation. This constitution secures to every colonist who establishes himself in Poland the enjoyment of the liberty and rights which the laws bestow on hint." A Paper of yesterday states. on the authority of private communication from Paris, that the Em peror of RUSSIA and King of PRUSSIA have inti mated to the King of Sws:Ose. that he ought to gait the Swedish throne; the Emperor having at one time offered him in lieu thereof a government, mid six millions of revenue. We were prepared for ►uch all article of intelligence, as a necessary consequence of a statement which lately appeared in a Hanover Paper, and allich our readers may remember to have seen noticed ite our Paper of Monday last, respecting a journey of the PRINCE REGENT during the ensuing summer, to Germany, and certain negociations between his Royal Highness end the Great Powers of the Continent, which were likely to involve great political changes iii the /Vorth rf Europe. It was evident that this rumour must have referred to the fortunes of CHARLES JOHN, King of SWEDEN, and it was to be expected that among the political speculators of Paris, it would rapidly acquire every circum •umier to give it r specious appearance of reality. Phis new version of the story tilfords no additional ground fur belief; and we still think, as we lame stated, that the rumour is aithout foundation.
