Mr. BROUGHAM brought the subject of the in. crnsed influence of the Crown before the House of Commons last night, in a speech of nearly three hours in length. Having established the plan of bits motion in precedents drawn from the *woes Air the exclusion of placemen and pensioners, and the celebrated resolution of Mr. DUNNING in 1760, be proceeded to shew, by very large and luminous details, bow greatly the Crown had augmented .the resources of its influence from the vast revenue required for the public debt—from the expenses of collecting it—from the oices of the Colonies added to the empire since 1791, and the extension of the dominions in the East and West Indies. He far ther traced the effect of this enlarged patronsge, so infinitely ramified through almost every clouts of isociety, upon the votes and condoct of Parliament. He remarked on the sudden and sometimes diurnal ZonversiOn of parliamentary favour and opinion to -chiefs of opposite professions—from M►. PITT to Mr. A ADINGTOK—from hint to the Coalition—then to the Fox Administration—then to that of Mr. }PERCIVAL—with the wonderfully fortuitous divi- Mona in which all these parties were by turns placed, according to the ♦otes on the division, on exactly the same footing of popularity and political recti tude. He concluded with a resolution, proposing, •' That the influence now immersed by the Crown a unnecessary for maintaining its constitutional dignity, destructive of the independence of Paella. inent, and inconsistent with the welfare and well government of the country." The Marquis of LORDONDIERY opposed this motion at consider able length, and moved that the House should pass to the other orderers( the day. On this the House di. vided, when there appeared—for Mr. Baoutatem's Motion, 101 ; for the Amendment, 216—Majo rity in favour of Ministers, 115.. The Bill entitled the Spoiled Stomp Amend mot Bill, now reproduced in the House of Cum ming, requires to be watched with more than ordi nary vigilance. A letter to the Editor, given in another part of our Paper, exposes its pressure upon the industrious members of the lower classes, of whom benefit societies ■re composed, a system en titled to every possible encouragement and light!. Bence. This, however, is only a minor objection. Its pressure upon the landed interest, already labour ing under such distress, is such us must make every Country gentleman tremble for the consequences. jt is well known that tensntcy at will is the commit) tenure in England, and that the specification of the terms, which is generally a printed form, requires no stamp, but in the event of its bring found necessary to produce it in legal process. These instances rattly occur ; but by the pro posed Bill all such agreements are null and void without a stamp, the consequence of which will be a tag upon landed property so let to the amount of upwards of 10 per cent. It would thus appear that under cover of. Bill, the title of which imports relief, new tales are to be imposed of the most op pressive and objectionable character. Tax Bills 'brought in at the close of the Session should be closely watched. The interests of landholders are affected in • very serious degree by the pro posed measure.

This is perhaps I merely an echo of the •oice of the Paris press, which would suit encourage hopes of war. The following are eztioets HAM BURGH, JUNE 18. Accounts from St. Petersburgh, of the sth in stant, are to the following effect :•—• The Privy Counsellor Tatischeff left this city on the 30th of May, a full month after his arrival, to retort) to Vienna. The exchange of couriers be tween St. Petersburg!) and Vienna is at this time uncommonly active. We expect that the Imperial guards will very soon return hither. It is said that the ruder to that effect will be given by the Em peror himself, after he has reviewed them at Minsk; a part of them will be employed to garrison the capital, but the greater part will be contorted the summer in the environs. The St. Peters burgh Journals contain now the first accounts rela tive to the evacuation of the Principalities by the Turkish troops. The Crown Prince of Sweden has arrived in Sweden, and put up at the hirsterthof, where apart ments were already prepared for him. He will go by way of Buckeburg to Aix-la-Chapelle. The marked ait.ntion with which the Crown Prince has been treated at Copenhagen has given great satis faction at Stockholm. The son of the Ex-Freuch Minister, Penchi, Duke of Otranto, is in the last mentioned city. The accounts from St. Petersblugh are still of • pacific character. The conjecture of those persons seen to become more probable who thought that, notwithstanding the assurances from Austria, there was not sufficient ground for believing that the Porte would fulfil its promise, made verbally to Lord Strangford (we do not find that it has been made in writing) to with draw its troops from the Principalities. It is positively affirmed in accounts from the Austrian frontiers, that the Asiatics who had left Little 'Wallachia, hare returned with reinforce ments, and that if some Asiatic Janissaries have left Moldavia to go against the Persians, they have been succeeded by more numerous bodies of Euro pean Janissaries; and, in short, that little expecta tion can be obtained of a speedy evacuation. ♦INNNA, JUNI 10. Metalliques, 781; Bank Shares, 757• We have received a series of New York Papers from the Ist to the 13th of May. but they contsio no news of any interest. We hive received Dublin Papers of Saturday. The Freeman's Animal of that date says— " We are not amo•gst those who tam allow that any aggra vated picture of calamity is required to be held up to the COMMIS of Dublin, in order to extort their compassion; but it ii.were, unhappily, there could be but little difficulty is preavoting it to them.

The report alluded to estimates "the total number of unemployed and starving individual. lit the city and suburbs of Cork at above 20,000, exclusive of which the Libretti.. furnish a mime of distress and misery unexampled for years, and calling loudly for the intervention of the charitable sod humane, to rescue theta horn the last of evils—disease and starvation." The Journal from which we have made this extract announces a selection of sacred music to be performed at St. Patrick's Cathedral on Wednes day, for the relief of the distressed peasantry--that Miss WILSON and Mr. Home had offered their gratuitous assistance, and the Lord Lieutenant would honour it with his presence. The General Congress of the Republic of Colom bia, consideling that " platina is ■ precious metal, excluded from some Provinces of the Republic, and that it offers great advantages for the augmentation of the national funds." has decreed, that the trade is, plating throughout the Colombian territory shall belong exclusively to the State; and that a current money in this metal shall he immediately coined. Every ounce of purified platina to be of the value of four Spanish milled dollars. This money is to be notional. A meeting of the principal Bankers took place on Friday laid, at which the subject of the reduction of discounts at the Bank was incidentally started : The consideration was, whether it would not he ex pedient for the Bankers also, in the advances to those who kept accounts with them, to reduce the rate of interest. The majority, we understand,. were opposed in this concession, particularly as it was fnund, on inquiring for precedents, that in the year 1773, when the Bank &cemented at four per cent, private Bankers still continued to charge five per cent. on their advances. The meeting, however, as we are informed, separated without coining to any decision, and without fixing any period for further discussion.

A mew farce, entitled. Love Letters, was produced last night, and recei ve d wit h decided approbation. The following is an outline of the plot : Capfuls Valour (s Preside Militaryl mr.

TATLSORI. en el ergy Sailor) Lai/4w (Lover of Lisette) Fripones (his ROW) Mr. Orsearnr- Reedy (Wife of Vshoer) . _ _ Liselie . (kir iitendant) Captain Falcone, just having 'married Emily, the daughter of a Noble Parisian, is obliged to join his regiment, sod in settling a correspo•de•ee with his Lady, it is agreed that his letters shall be addressed to her faithful attendant, Lisette, who is particularly enjoined to keep the arrange. meat • secret, even from her lover, Lafleur, with whom she is on the eve of marriage. Prior to this, Friponez, a rival of Lafleur, purloins from him a lova-leiter, written by Lisette, and by making Lisette believe her letter had been parted with by Lafleur to another female, and exposed to all her acquaintance, very nearly breaks off the match between the lovers. The trickery of Friporeez is, however, detected ; and the second act commences with the wedding of Lafleur and Lisette, whose incipient happiness is sus pended by the arrival of • &opposed letter from Vakour, ad. dressed to Liaette, who dares not, by giving an explanation, violate her promise of keeping her Lady's secret. The come quent jealousy of Lafleur impels him to oyes the letter ; the contents of which, had it really been from Falcone, would have exculpated Lisette, hut the genuine letter of Valsour had been intrusted to Robert, a half tipsy English seaman, who (like his prototype, Pipes, in Peregrine Piekk), puts the love letter in his boot, and it thereby becomes so illegible, that the tar, fearful of his master's anger, with the assistance of Fripones (who is glad to disturb his swecessful rival's hap piness), writes another to Lisette filled with scrips of nautical poetry and songs, the perusal of which puts Lafleur, who believes it meant for his wife, is a rage, which nearly causes • separation, wheu the confession of the sailor, and the arrival of Captain Falcone (who has gained the consent of his wife's parents) rectifies the mistake, and resonates all parties.

This, it was true, was an attack on Lord Hamilton's pub lie, and not his private character ; but thee it stated things of that public character which were proved to he false. In this case the Jury would observe that au injury was cote plaiued of, except what the Persuer mast have suffered in his own feelings; and he believed that he curried the opt. nions of both his Lammed Brothers with hiss, as well as that of the Pursuer, when be said ibat to this ease bethought the injury which had been anatainsd would be sufficiently re. paired by their verdict.
