bar,: fur he believed that they were how suftering frost tie waist of a firm and steady attaehrmeot to their own interests. (The Hen. Member proceeded to read hisidsultitiotis, !idled is our Paper of Thursday last, offering various obeer. ratio's iu support, sad illmsitations of them by the Way.] So far from wishing any breach of faith with the public creditor, be appeared there as complalimat that faith had rot been kept with the public creditor, but that a Signet violation bad been c o mmitted.—(New.)—He hoped, therefore, he ahotild sot be aspersed by soy such charge. He verily believed that the Legislature, at the time of passing the Act of 1819, WIN not aware of its ronsegueiteesl due half, at least, of the ori ginal fuadluoldere of 1797 had bees asaihilated by this Act, as Act which was caltrd one of retributive -justice. Those whit bad rested sioire that period their properly in minaret. toresand real priperty,•pem • return to cash paymems foetid . . _ . . their property coosiderably depreciated. He set at dames* env imputation against him that be desired to place the loner class of people is a worse situation.—(Hear.) — bit he did not hesitate to say that the interests of all classes, .nd of courts the lower class, diresseded a higher money price for all the, produte lons of the country. The agricsil. mini class be, particularly spoke of That had beer, and *es still rtraly dechisier, and would drag with it ell other Interests. It was not a diminution of supply that was Ocoee required to create high priers. It never entered into the heed.; of say but modem philosophers that superabundance 'could ruin a country. He believed,bovrever, that the extra ordiaary industry, the spirit of coterie., sad the unbroken Writ of thiscouutry were es paldeofrestor ing us to pence and prosperity, were it sot fur this foal Bill. He should thus leave the matter with the Hesse, regretting however, that he had not been able to do justice to his ova Ideas. The Res. Gentleman concluded by movie' his lest reeelstios. Mr. RICARDO said, that he felt Idimeelf quite iseompe teat to follow the Him Member through all his staterooms, or what be conceived to he the rerun of his resolutions; be thought It, therefore, better to leave them to yolk their own refutation. If in Ffaller they were to argue as he did, that be cause the monied interest now got three times as many bushels acorn for an ounce of gold as foemerly, therefore, the had balder ought to be righted by as alteration of the currency that would restore t he former relative valises of money and produce, would the Hoo. Gentleneau west to that proposition? The Hoe. Gentleness perceived the alterations caused in the emintry by the change in the currency, bet did sot know bow to attribute them to their right causes. The alterations were visible, but it was foe the Hon. Gentleman to prove that they Sowed from the Bill of 1819. He (Mr. Ricardo) believed they proceeded from other causer, °perm ag in this and every cti s m cos oiry in Europe. A country, as a country in gene. cal, was sot hurt by an alteration in currency. It was parti cular el that suffered.—(Hear.)—To whatever extent it could be iheen the alteration in the coercing in d the nisi of money, to that extent he would admit was taxation iscreased.—(Her.)—Bet be sever could consent that this single case', operating on the taxes, has produced the pre test Mittman of the different interests of this country. It should be remembered, that the stockholder paid a pot. lion of the taxes, and that it was the payers of taxes that suffered in this meet of view from the itecreaerd burden of taxation. As to the state of Ireland proceeding from the most stated by the Hun. Member, it was to him quite unin telligible. A superabundance of corn and 'a scarcity of mose y were things very perfectly compatible ; bet the owe could is no way be produced by the usher, except that the prices of wages were regulated by the price of cora. The depreciation of the currency up to 1609 was only 91 per test. The Hon. Gentlesnas wavered about from one stand ard to aeother is catimating the quantum of depreciation of lose or gain to the country. He went from labour to tors, sad then again to the precious metals. The Hon. Gent. however, was bound to slick to one or other. But he was at • loss to know what right be had to take corn as a standard. It Boa. Gentleman thought that rests would be annihilated as be said, Le ought surely to become a supporter of his (Mr. Rieudo's) plan for paying off the national debt, by giving spa portion only of his land. Ito that case he would st all events have • certain portion areal, whereas, oiliest.' that, ectordiag to his accoust, he would get sour. tie main tattled that the Honourable Gentleman charged as mete upon the Bill of 1810, things which were actually the conic emote of what had happened before that period. This was not dealing fairly by the case at all. la oar of his Repo lutious the Hon. Gentleman had made a ne.stake of no less than 154 millions.—(Hear, sod • laugh )—He had stated the amount raised by loan from the Sit, January 1798 to 1818 at 459 millions of money, which be contended was 154 millions more than was actually raised. The Hon. Gentleman, ho be. lined, had mistaken sumo to that amount paid to the Com missioners for the redemption of the public debt. The Houtarable Gentleman bad argued, from increase in the price of stocks, 'het it is so much unjust gain to the stockholder. If the Honourable Member had purchased an estate, which afterwards rose in price, and be then wished to sell it, would he admit the difference to be as unjust gaieties hie part' After enumerating all the evils which he alluded to, the Hon. Gentleman proposed, as the only remedy, au emeasiou of the circulation. Now that was neither more sot less ilia. an alteration of the standard. That would usdoubtedly raise the prices uf consmodilies; but would that he jut to the rest of the comatosely? Aid what effect would it have in relieving the landed interest? He con tended that it would give them no relief as a class, bet only is common with the rest of the community, by lightening the weight of the whole taxation of the country, and cos sequeolly relieving them as far as Its effect would go is lessening the quantity of taxes which they pay.— The Hon. Member bad denied that superabundance of pro. duce could be injurious to a country, or produce general distress. But who ever said that it could? Certainly not he (Mr. R ); on the contrary, be wished to see the country fully supplied with every thing. But would the Hon. Mem ber deny that the increase of any comeoudity is a market would lower the prier? Would he deny that a market might 4 so far overstocked as to reduce rise prices of commodities so low as to be ruinous to the producer ? The Hem Geut. had asked when it was ever beard of that excess of supply had produced such noisome consequences to a country. He ;Mt. R.) repeated that it might not be injurious to the come manly generally; but it had often beets heard of as isjetri.. sus to the particular class dealing its that commodity. It had been the case, fur instance, with sugar; so man denied it ; bat upon the quantity of produce iu the market, and the op.- own of the quantity upon prices, the alteration of the cur test} had so effect whatever. He (111 r. R.) contended ameba amount of taxation which the country sow had to pay, was not at all greater in consequence of the thalweg in the cur rency them it would have been if the measure of 1797 had loser taken place; and he proceeded to sheer from the cal (milieus is Mr. Muschett's tables, that taking the consi derations for the hares raised at the price of gold at the several periods since 1801, the public creditor had sustained a lass more than commensurate with that which, at the rate of the alteration in the value of the currency supposed by the Hosourable Member, the payers of taxes could mutant. The country ought with gratitude to ackeowledge the great cow that had been committed in the measure of 1797, from the pernicious consequences of which the country bad been rescued by the Act of 1819—been rescued, he hoped, fur Mi. The reseal of that Art would be a measure so preg. tact with evil to every interest of the country, that he meal live it his decided opposition. Lord MILTON concurred is the view which had barn takes by the Hon. Member who had just sat duwu of the *ratite' of the measures affecting the currency. These elects were sot to be traced to the miserable piece of parch steet--the Act of 1819, but were only to be discovered by loran at the whole of the measures from 1797, the tett eternities that was made, down to the present period. The Rationl debt was not more than if it was a mortgage alluded estate; it was the accumulation of former Midas. try, and he was the last mat that would wide to micros& on but he doubted whether lamstiou could be kept up to pay 14 interest of it. He would not say that the redectime 14 Kee per cents. to four was not a broach of faith with des pribliccredieor. but it might Dot be cousidered so when the oaten had a debt of 150 millions to pay off; at the same lose he thonglut the only means for the relief of the country vas the reduction of axes. He believed if a reduction of taws to the amount of ten millions had taken place at Ike corernenrement of the resent Session it would lama saved many of slut landowners. He was sorry it bad not rote tried, for no farmer was now able to pay his rent ix "pi silt of his capital. It a reduction of tee oaken, its ° Ic . „ 1622 would have been Dray satirical to have saved them, s reduction of twelve millions would not do it io the year 1823. It was well known the ties that existed between the landowners and the landholders • the hitter Mould expend every shilling of the ft - capital be fore they would lesbe their farms. He would ask the fuildholders whether it was not their interest to Meet the dietresa of the landholder? However great his opinion might be of the landholders, it was impossible fur lolm to know how they might hereafter act. it must be in the recollection of the House that a Member fur Somerset had said us a tar. met oceasiom that if relief was not given to that agricultural distress of the country, it would induce him to become an advocate for Parliamentary Reform. He did not believe that are Hoo i dneenber, being a Knight of the Shire, would break faith with the public creditor, but the petition frum the Free. holders of the County of Kent must be in the recollection Of the House, which was agreed to at a public meeting over which the High Sheriff of the county presided; what a ma• In Rent did do, a man in Cornwall or Cumberland alight do. He thought the measure proposed this Session for the impor. talon of corm • good one; so be thought that of the Corn Bill at the time of its passing, for which reason he voted for it, fur If there was a diminution of food, those persons who had been emplioyed is growing it would be thrown out of employ; the valise of noderwood had fallen as much as corn, sad every thing else the produce of the land, except bark, •hieb had received a temporary rise in anticipation, nu account of the tax bring expected to be takes off leather. It was caused by the change made In the currency or the country In 1797, and not by the Bill of 1819, and the County Mem. bees had supported all the loans that mired the depression. Corn was by no means the only article that regulated the price of Moor, fur diem were articles, those of sugar, s oa p, mid tea, which were over.eaued ; the latter to four blebs of what the Igo:meet paid fur it. It was preposterous noes to say, that lebour was regulated by the price of corn; if they put the labourer in • situatiess to disable him from obtaining those articles he had enumerated, they would put them into the state of the labourer in Ireland, without fool sufficient to support nature. This class of permits had been robbed of their osentome for the last twenty. Ave years ; the number of those who nwd to brew M dom. Delves had been diminished more than es half. Arno sons had maid that the distress was calmed by over , pswdflMrtas He, for owe, did not believe it ; the fall is prise mild not arise from a glut is the market ; there had beano. glut of iron or lead, sad the prices of both articles hod fallen, sad of every article that was not taxed to the bighted degree. As to sugar, we had the whole control overeehei market of that article during the war, but at the pwootethe restored matey of die islands Is France, and hail ow hope, 111 the cootrol, which accounted for the eel. He MAW Ms HOll. Friend would not be WO to prevail os the rose to agree to the latter part of his Resolutions. It was hot hie iirteatio• to give any °Own on the fru part of thew. He would not agree to put a tax on any property to raise • fund which did not bear on all alike. In hie °Make it was a chest to keep up a slaking fend that would in the coons of time du away with itself. The schemes proposed by the Admiuistratiuo fur the relief of the agriculturists were impracticable, and in fact oaly tended to amuse the County Members • they bad bees made week after week, and abandoned with the same facility. He was convinced there was tie remedy for the distress but the reduction of taxation, and many of the County Menders had gale home without gi log a single vote for reduction, and tbad at a time when an Hon. Baronet, a Member foe a weselled county, had been compelled to abandon his family manshels on acconst of the distress. He trusted that County Menthe/I would not rest satisfied with having made fair promises their constituents, bat that they would come to Parliament weal Session with a determination to act for them.—(Hear, hear.)—He thanked the Hoo. Gentlemen opposite fur their cheers; this language might not be pleasing to men who held great places, but when the landed int was reduced 60 or 70 per cent. they would be fearful of their places.— (Hear, bear.)—These ob lions might be disagreeable to them, but the salaries of their great offices were paid out of the landed interest, and out of the industry of the labourer. The Noble Lord then emphatically said," Good God. Sir ! is thiadisorderly, OM it be caned SO by the Boa. Bared who Loa interrupted me (Sir John Osborne), to tell him that be Is paid his 1,000/. or 1,2001. a year ass Lord of the Admiralty, by the capital and the labour of the country r—The Noble Lord sat down amidst loud cheers. Mr. ROBERTSON said he felt the deep importance of the question ; the debt of Holland at tloilinse of the Stadtholder was an great that it reduced the yeomanry of the country to perforrii the labour they had been in the habit of paying fur, and °biked the Nubility to marry the daughters of Burghers If this country did not provide for paying off the national debt by a sinking fend, she would be reduced to the same stale Holland was; it wes more to the interest of the lauded proprietors that the pub:ic debt should be kept whine hounds than any otherclass of his Majesty's subjects. He concluded by opposing the resolutioas. Mr. ATWOOD thought it was the duty of the House to reconsider the whole of the subject of the currency, as the evils resulting from the present system were still in progress: Mr. PEEL denied that the distresses in Ireland arose from may change of the eurreuey, but from titre wetness of the moron having destroyed the potatoes, sod from the ergo Potion of the war demand. He would not repeat the argil. seems which he bad urged on a similar motion of the Hormarabk Gentleman some time ago. He shortly slated his objections to the Resolutions of the Hon. Member, and etootended that some of them contradicted others, sod that rome were prophetic of future effects. He was very sure that if the House took upon itself to prophecy, they would at least • pusses' we of the attributes of psophets— they would have no honour in their own errantry. Alderman HEYGATE thought the remedy fur the distress felt at present was to add to the currency by every fair measure, without disturbing the ancient standard of valve, and was adverse to any measure so violent as the present. Sir F. BURDETT expressed his concurrence with dm concluding Resolution of his Hon. Friend (Mr. Western). He concurred in opinion with fhe lion. Secretary as to the state of Ireland ; it was impossible for say man who had been in Ireland not to see that it was constantly on the brink of famine; but though he also agreed the sobjisell was difficult, it was oar which imperiously called upodado House to legislate in an effectual why. Mr. WESTERN rose to his reply at four o'clock, au hour which precludes any possibility of conveying it to the public. The gallery was cleared, but the Resolutions were neva. tived without a division.

In this view he bad voted against measures, which be deemed inhibi t-al to the interests of the peopk, sad bed mostly opposed the present Minister'', because, in his estimation, they totally mistook the principle on which all Governments were formed. They ought to know that they are the servaals of the peo ple, as well as of the Crows, and they now find that the? cannot oppose the will of the people. U the people, he con tinued, had not petitioned, the taxes which have been re mitted would still have existed. He expressed himself much gratified at meetieg his friends in Ipswich, professed birnaelf a firm friend to a Coestitational Reform, and to a reduction of taxation • and concluded by observing, that he had sup ported, and would support, every motion which had those objects and the liberty of the people in view.

The NOBLE CHAIRMAN then rote He said, that smidit the various sod important changes which had taken place in the present age, there was none which afforded • subject of higher euegratulation time the rise of Colombia from a state of despotism to become a free and independent callosity.— The happiness and prospect of enjoyment which it held out to millions of people, must be an object of sincere delight to every liberal mind. We cannot be inseesible, in this country, to the merits of those who led the arms of the Re. public, and who succeeded in subverting those oppressive laws sod inmoisiterial powers which had so long blasted the hopes of that country. And while we acknowledge the merits of those who directed tint glorious struggle, as ordu• ous in its conduct as it was beneficial in its result, we must admit the credit which was due to those who carried these important changes into full execution. The people of Co. lamb= fully merit those inestimable blessing* for the at. tainment of which they had so nobly bled. They were de. termined to enjoy the rights of freemen, and they never de sisted until they expelled, from the Ammonium territory to the Groner', all those baneful causes which conspiied to de. prive them of their civil and religious liberties. The loqul. =lion and torture were driven from amongst them. They have subverted an oppressive Government sod an intolerant church, and surely we cannot hut wish to be on terms of amity with such a people.--(Cheers.)—The present cons. piny must therefore feel gratified at having ancorigat them the illustrious representative of that Sue people. He should therefore propose the health of " SI. Zes, the Minister Ple uipotentiary of the Colombian Republic." This toast was drunk with great applause. M. ZEA then rose, and was most courteously received. He addressed the meeting in the French language. The fol lowing is • traislatioe as nearly as poisible My Lords and Oentlene•no..With sentiments of the most unsoingled satisfaction I rise to expeen my cordial srknow. ledgmeets, my deep and lasting gratitude, for the honour you have just conferred on me. and on the nstiJo whose humble representative I ans.

Gentleman, the struggle in which we have been engaged has been loug and arduous ; it has not as sacrifices which I cannot pretend to describe to you. Nothing but a pene vermin and a constancy, sustained by an innate sense of the justice of our cause, and encouraged by the 'protection of Heaven, could have enabled us to have overcome the dill'. collies and pr:vstioss we have had to encounter. Now, how ever, that our hopes are consummated, and that we enjoy the satisfaction of living under a free constitution, of being governed by our own laws, the first desire of our hearts is to forget all past injuries. The loathsome and hiileour tyranny of Spain, bur creel perseverance in a contest against reason sod humanity, will be forgotten throughout Colombia, in the moment in which she shall accept the right hand of friendship so often held out to her. Our de. mire is to be at peace with all the world. Between the other nations of the earth and Columbia there ere no pdints of oollisiou. She desires to render from Europe 'those pro. ductless of science and of art, which tend to the convent. epee and improvement of life, ind she is ready to yield in return from her boundless resources those rich prodUctions of nature which she possesses in such variety end extent.

The Hon. Member nest alluded to the abolition of the Slate Trade. He should be ashamed to enlarge upon that subject in the presence of an individual whose easement at indwell command reverence (Mr. Willserfurce), whose very presence was the greatest honour any society could receive. It was a matter of cavitation when other nations carried on by un derhand means that abominable 'poem of robbery and see der, that the first act of the Americas States on the recovery of their independence was to abolish the Slave Trade. He knew there were men whose very ears were horrified at the Idea of a revolt, but be felt himself justified in avowing bib political creed, that revolt against freedom was the greatest of ell crieses,and a revolt against despotism the greatest of vie. tees.—(Great cheering )—He should conclude by proposing The health of General Bolivar, who had led the country through such difficulties and daegers."—This toast wan drank with great applause.
