W i th respect to the barrack-masters,•if they now t u rned out those who had been some time iu the l oam they must make them some allowance; b u thiug, therefore. would be gained by turning them oat to till up the appointments with half-pay viten; besides, he much doubted whether half qie7 Caymans could be found to accept of the sp. postments, except, indeed, such as might have no imitative of returning to the service, sad refold leek to these places as eomfoetsble reheating. Mr. HMIs said, he was glad the ralant officer .bad manned him of the barrack emsbliehoispt at Dwelt. It was a private house, end they knew the houses at Brecon could not be very large; what number it would hold he could not say, but he might venture to affirm that there had sot been . fifty soldiers in it during the whole of last year.— Now what was the charge for that ostablibment ? Only IL for repairs, it was true; but 1631. • year fee taking care of such a house. That might be • Wow as e•fair sample of the system of imp/odium in efferent ports of the country, and it was ea the view of each lagrant abuses that he called on tieCommittre to compel the Ministers to a more . economical arrangement, by diminishing the sup. • plies.

W. Sturm said it was so difficult, upon the • • WIIIIMies to be derived from the mere perusal of Alio laid before the Home, to go into the de . • Inilett r ty branch of the estimates, that in attempt ,. iwg it • man could hardly help falling into mis .,- Wtas i , which were thrown back into his teeth, and hsobod at by the Gentlemen opposite, whose sole bosom it was to understand these thins. He did -0- let bow how many barracks them were, nor where they were situated ; he could not. therefore, draw any inference on that account as to the extent of the necessity for such • son as was bass set dorm. Bat this he did know, that in shit estimates ea the table the charge for breed. meet s and forage for the whole of the troops in Great Britain, 25,000 mien, he believed, was 101,7001.; sad the (sum charged for the repairs of barracks was 60,6001. Now it was only by comparing these large items in the groom with esch other, that he could form any judgment as to their propriety ; and he would say, that soy person proposing to provide foe a certain robber of the poor of any parish, who should frame an estimate wherein the charge for repairs of the places in which they were to be lodged ehoold bear • the same proportion to the charge for their bread sod mest,as in this case the charge for barrack repairs bore to that for the breed, meat, sad forage for the troops, would be looked upon as • madman. Mr. ARBUTHNOT said, if the Hon. Member for 4... ?..' Norwich had been present when the grain for the Commissariat department was under !consideration, he could not possibly have fallen into the mistake he had now made. If he looked at page 3, of the estimates, he would there find the charge for ,i bread for the troops, io places where the price did f. not exceed 6d. per loaf, to be 49,6461. 16e. 10d. ; and that for meat, where the price did not exceed k o 6d. per lb., to be 99,293/. 13s. gd., which being ;• paid for by stoppages out of the pay of the soldier. ;.. was voted in the Army Estimates ; and of the sum which lie had mentioned only 1,0001. was for bread and meat, which was charged here for the public amount of the excess in those places where t h e price exceeded the amount stopped from the soldier. The rein oder was 100,0001. for forage for the ca va l r y, an d 001. for camp supplies. which at \he were not stopped f rom „soldier, and remained to be provided for in this place. A return of the number of berracks, where situated, sod the ex. pense of repairs in each, might have been had if moved for; but not being called for, be had not procured it. Sir J. NEWPORT complained of the practice of allowing officers in any department to incur a !knee expense without a previous estimate mentioned by the Treasury, which appeared to him to have been the case is. the barrack department. Mr. ARBUTHNOT said, the estimate was not for expenses which had been incurred, but for the pro. bable expense in the ensuing year ; and was drawn up in the absence of the Comptroller, by the next officer of the department, who calculated on nearly the same as last year's expense. Mr. R. SMITH said, the charge of 10,0001. for the barracks in the Mews. being a part of the 63,000/. of last year's expense, and haring been incurred under circurostauces which could not be expected in occur again, was in itself • reason why the reduction propo.ed by the Hon. Member fur Aberdeen should be made. Mr. ARBUTHNOT said, the estimate had been drown in the barrack-office, and forwarded to hiss, before the determination to transfer the barracks to the ordnance department was known, and he was wrong, perhaps, under these circumstances, in mov ing the whole grant. He should therefore agree to to the amendment of the Hon. Member for Aberdeen. Mr. H. G. Baxasre said, the intention of his Honourable Friend (Mr. Hume) had beers to move a reduction of 10,0001. on the two amounts, of sale.. iiro to barrack-masters 27,0001, and barrack I office eafablisliment 17,0001. on aeeount or the proposed transfer. Besides which. be had urged that the 60.600/. For repairs might be reduced one. half ; and had pledged himself to prove as much before a Committee. The Hon. Member then pro ceeded to animadvert in the barracks iu the Regent's Park, which he said were placed in the most mom per situation that could have been selected ; where he undentood the lower apartments were always damp, being below the springs. He censured the establishment of the barracks at Manchester and Oldham. as wholly unnecessary ; and stated that a dispute had arisen between the Magistrates and the Government as to who eras to defray the expense. Mr. Aanuelinow said the barracks referred to by the Hon. Member were only temporary, sod would be given up before the transfer. Dr. LVSHINGToN said, the account of the ex penses of building and repairs of barracks preced ing the present estimates, purported to be from Lady Day 1820, to Lady Day 1821; the present estimate was from Ist January 1822, to 3lst De cember 1822. and he wished to know where the at. count was that applied to the nine months from Lady Day 1821 to the end of that year. He un derstood that certain barracks were to be given up, sod yet the charge for repairs for the present year was the same as last year. Now the amount paid lest year for the repairs of thou barracks ought to be deducted. as so charge could in the present year be incurred fee repairs to them. The repairs of 1821 could be no data for the estimate for 1844; for it might be. and indeed it ought to be, that the cir. eumstance of 60,000/. being laid out in the repair of the barracks in one year, would present the ne cessity for the same extent of repairs in the year waning. He wished to know whether the Right Hon. Gentleman would produce the account of the expense of repairs for the lost nine months of 1821. Mr. ARBUTHHOT said. what the Honounible Gentleman alluded to was not the estimate for 1821, but an account of the expenses incurred. which was a distinct thing. and it by no means fol lowed that one should agree with the other. The sum of which they were speaking was the amount estimated as the probable expense for the present year, sad the barrack department stated that 60,600/. was the sum they conceived would be wanted. Mr. HOUR said. it appeared that the barracks at Manchester were to be abandoned. He was glad to hear it; but those barracks had cost the conutry 24,0001. which would therefore be thrown away. That might have been prevented if the proposal from his side of the House to delay the execution of the plan when it was first proposed, in order to see whether the supposed necessity for them was likely to last, had been acceded to. Mr. ARBUTHNOT said, he had been misunder stood by the Hon. Member. The Hon. Member for Shrewsbury spoke of a misunderstanding be tween Government and the Magistrates of Lanca shire as to the defraying of the expense of barracks at Manchester. The barracks to which that re ferred were temporary barracks, and those be had stated were to be given up ; but the barracks which had been built at the cost mentioned by the Hon. Member were still to be retained. Mr. Hum said, referring to the Journals of the House, it appeared that on the 24th February last he moved for a return of the number. description, situation, cost for repairs, and other particulars relat ing to all the barracks in the kingdom, which return had never been made. If it had, the Committee would have been better able to under stand the details of this estimate. He thought the item of 60,0001. for the repairs of barracks ought to be postponed until that return should be pro. duced ; and in that case he would pledge himself to prove that the greater part of these barracks ought not to be kept up. There was a charge of 17,0001. in this estimate for the Board ; why was that amount not reduced, as the business was to be transferred to another department Mr. W•RD said, he hoped the Committee would give fell credit to the Onhiance for every possible exertion to reduce the expense when the transfer was made, and not cramp its energies by reducing the vote below what at present appeared to be necessary. After a few words from Sir JOHN NawroaT and Mr. ARBUTHNOT. the ameudmeut was agreed to without a division. The CHANCILLoR of the Exongann then stored a vote of 1400.000/. to pay interest on Exchequer Bills, Irish Treasury Bills, and Mint Notes, for the year 1822. Itt mniwer to a question from Mr. RICARDO— The CHANCILLoR of the EXCIIRQURR said, the NM now proposed would cover all outstanding arrears on this account. After a few words from Sir 1.

Our readers remeMber that it was mentioned in several German jou►nals last year that his Britannic Majesty would •=tin honour the Continent with a visit in the year ISt% and make • longer stay than be did last year. We now learn from indubitable authority that this event will take place in a few swaths. According to letters which her Royal Highness the Ls•dgravine of Hesse Homburg has received from Loudon, the visit of her royal brother Is announced to the Princess for the month of June. In feet, preparations are 'heady making to cele brate in the most brilliant manner his Majesty's %kit to this capital. His Majesty ionise expected at Darmstadt, according to the verbal piomise which he made last year to Prince Etnilius of Hesse. Ac. cordingly several new operas me now preparing at the Court Theatre in Darmstadt, to afford the /British Sovereign a pless•re for *kith he expressed • great desire on his last visit, and which was excited in him by the great reputation which that theatre en joys in Germany. With respect to the further plats of his Majesty's tour, we learn from the woe source, that his Ma. jetty thinks to visit the Courts of Vieons and Ber. lin this year, and to arrive about the end of July in his Hanoverian dominions, where he will visit Pyrmont, the waters of which have been recom mended to him by his physicians. These accounts do not a little contribute to give credit to the re. ports of peace ; for the English Monarch, it is in. loved, would hardly leave his island if the Conti nent of Europe was in danger of being visited with the flames of war.—(Noremberg Correspondent, March 19.) -••"'" 6 1.. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. GERMAN PAPRiti. V 11411114. 11111101 14. The latest accounts from Jassy, of the 3d of this month, mention the death of the Turkish Cam. sander-io.Chief. Salish Poch', on the nth Fe bruary. after • week's illness. Hie body was sent, on the Ist of March, by the post to Bails. A severe reprimand which he rece i ve d f rom the Porte, on account of the bad discipline of the troops under his command, sad of the disorders and pillage in the province proceeding from this cause, had such • bad effect on his constitution, which was already weak, that he became seriously ill and died. After his death the command was assumed by his Kiaja Bey. Two Tartars from Constantinople brought to Salish Pacha, a short time before his death, the confirmation of the capture and beheading of Ali Pachs. Direct accounts from Corfu likewise confirm this news, and mention the 9th of February as the day on which the head of the rebel was sent to Consists. stantinople. Various statements were in circa's. tion in Corfu respecting the last moments of his life. We shall probably learn the real facts of the case by the next letters from Constantinople. It seems certain that the execution of Ali Fische took place in a fort on the lake of Joannins. in which be was imprisoned, after his capture by Chours. chid Pecks. According to accounts received from different quarters, Chourachid Pacha had taken measures immediately after the capture of Ali for the departure of the army under his command, which had lately been considerably reinforced by Albanese troops.—(Anorian Observer, March 15.) FRANKFORT, mann 13. The recalling of the young Russian. who are studying medicine in the German Universities spin leads the public to believe that all apprehen sions of war have not vanished. Well-informed persons affirm that the expenses which Russia has been put to by collecting such numerous corps in the frontier provinces are so great, that it can hardly be supposed it will go back without an in. demnity for such great sacrifices, an indemnity which the Porte is not likely to give. The politicians are convinced, indeed, that the Emperor never intended to give • single man to support the Greek insurrection, which agrees with his declaration at Laybach ; but the Russian Court cannot be indifferent to the events in Turkey, as no human foresight can tell what turn they may take. Some are therefore of opinion that even if the good understanding between Rus sia and the Porte should be restored by medi ation of the other Power., the Russian troops will still remain in their positions; but others think that the events in the east of Europe are less calculated to give the Cabinets real uneasiness than that in the west of the Continent, and that the numerous army assembled in the Russian frontier provinces, ready to take the field. is in fact intended for very differ ent purposes from what blind friends of the Greeks pretend. The future alone can tell us whet we have to think of the reports in circulation, that all the necessary arrangements are agreed upon for the possible cur, that future events should, contrary to the wishes of the Powers, render an active inter ference in the internal affairs of the Turkish em pire absolutely necessary.—(Allgenteine &thing, Ala►ch 19.) THE BRITISH PRESS'. LONDON, SATURDAY, AlAitta so, te42. the proceedings is the House of Commons last night presented matter of deep and general interest. .A point has been est a blish e d fro m whith we treat 101 011eidsis results as conducive to the general *rife,* of the empire as the ateasaire proposed is mineihatory id principle to a numerons end ini peelant class of our fellow - subjects. It will he GIGO that Mr. CANNING gave notice LINA he would es the 30th of April move for leave to bring is a Bill to repeal so much of the Act of the 30th of CHABLIS 11. as imposes penalties upon Mimeo Catholic Peers fur sitting tad voting in the Hume of Lords. We cannot doubt the success of this measure. There is not, we believe, a man ia the empire who could conscientiously say that the slightest or moat distant danger could be appre hended from permitting such men as she Doke of NohroLe, the Earl of SIIRMSBURY, the Kul of num, end the other Catholic Peers of the Voiteri Kingdom to sit in the Noose of Lord,. This point, iudeed s seemed at all times, cod in every discussion upon the claims of the Roman Catholics, to have been conceded even by the moat energetic of their opponents; and when we consi der the ease with which a few years since Mr. Caoesa's Bill fur throwing open the army and easy to the Catholics, without any limitation or condition, was passed through both Houses cad received the Royal sanction, we feel the more con fident in anticipating a favourable result to Mr. CANNING'S present project. This proposal for restoring to the Howanes, the Teuton. and the CLIFFORD! of oar day, the honours that belonged to their ascestors, comes before the public with many circumstances to re commend it. The measure certainly does not pro ceed directly from the Cabinet ; the Ministers, therefore, are not bound collectively to lend it the direct support of their influence. But Mr. Caw, Nina has hardly ceased to be a Minister, and every one must feel that he still enjoys, in as high a de gree as ever, the entire confidence of his MAJESTY'S Cabinet. This, if it required proof, is evinced by hie recent appointment to the Government of India. We may hence conclude that the proposition is not submitted to Parliament by the Right Hon. Geo deems preprio mote, but that it is ushered iota existence with the knowledge, if not with the full concurrence of the Kure's Minister*. Mr. Cae sium professes that the measure is distinct from the rem question of Catholic emancipation. To our minds it offers but a distinction in terms, or rather it seems to form • great and important branch of the more general question which ha. for more than half a century agitated the empire.— But call it as we may, the measure is fraught with conciliation; it brings health upon its wings. end is the harbinger of that good cod kindly feeling which ought to subsist between all classes of the same people. Neither experience nor prejudiee can specify the slightest evil that has arisen from extending to Roman Catholics in Ireland the elective franchise : with equal confidence we alike the same assertion respecting the power of Romeo Catholics to attain the highest ranks in the army se the navy. The Legislature, the Council Chamber, and the Judicial Bench, are still closed against them. These, we trust, will at no distant period be thrown era to every class of the Rica's subjecia; .bat perhaps, as in the other instances of concession, it may be desirable that the work of conciliation should. proceed gradually aid with caution. Mr. Cana MING has proposed •to adhere to this system, and the illustrious individuals now selected as the ab ject@ of Parliamentary indulgence ore happily se free in their individual capacities Irons every taint of suspicion as their lineage is from -Stain .or reproach.
