BENETT slid, that in making the few res ensiles with which he meunt to trouble the House before lie presented the Petition which lie held in his hand, lie be no means W;Shed to provoke a pre mature discussion on the subject of the agricukural distress. Ile hoped that at a future day the Ribs ject would be fully gone into, at present 'he would only observe, that the Petition was from the Owners and Or copiers of Land in Wiltshire, and that ow the few names attached :o that Petition, there were not Ir•s than 50,000 mechanics ■nd labourers des petulant for employment and support, ■nd • he may wished en their part to obviate any prejudice which might arise hum the supposition that they were sulking a boon for themselves alone. All the}• welled for was such a regulation of the existing lit* . as would give that encouragement to agriculture. without which the lauds of this country could not • be f•ultivatetl. Lord MiLeoe wished to impress on the House one observation relative to the prevailing distress. It could not be considered by the manufacturers on the one hand, that any of the eiwourageruents which hod hien granted to the agriculturalists had occasioned the distress of the w►aoufacturu►g inter. e►t ; and on the other hand, neillwr could the agri culturists suppose that the measures which had been adopted, and supposed to be for the benefit of the manufacturing interest, were the causes of their difficult es—for the fret was, that the commercial, the manufacturing, and the agricultural interests, were all in distress.—(fieur.)—lle was persuaded that whenever an investigation took place. it would be found that the cause of distress in one branch was the cause of distress in the other, rod pervaded the Whole of our system. General GASCOYN It spoke from under the gallery in so low a tour, that we could not liter distinctly what lie said, but we understood loin to ask the Hors. Member fur %Vibe, who presented the pelt. lion, if the petitioners wished fur a reprol of the Corn Laws. or an advent • ou the price at which it was fixed foreign•corn might be imported into Una country. Mr. BENETT explained, that the petition did not ask fur any advance of price on foreign Corti nits ported ; but he wished it to be nuiversally ktwwt► and understood, that there could be no relielgrauts ed to agriculture which would not also be beneficial to the manufacturer, and all that was desired was if the inquiry should be gone into, to du owe, by fair argument that jealousy which lie was sorry to perceive did exist, but which ought nut to exist, to, as much as it was completely unfounded. The petition was then brought up, ordered to be • laid on the table, •rid printed. M►. C. GRANT presented a Petitii frees the Brewers end Alalteters of Inverness, tlealgthiPille -40 ( the Malt Duty. Mr. BitouGoatt was extremely glad brill& *NW . Petitiatierit had such a powerful supportee'ollll; e irlen. Gentleman who presented it. • I Mr. Ftftte rent/led a Petition from simpiem • ilreen, of Salishury•square, slated that the Nlember retorneil to serve in Parliament for the Borough of A Idborough, in Yorkshire, was at present •havitt from England; and that a Petition haring been ',reword to the finair, compl gof that return, the present petitioner prayed for an eaten. sion of the time allowed for proving the lion of the Memher returned. Mr. FYNE now moved the (louse. but from the noise in the gallery we could not catch the import of it. The SPEAKER said it mi*,lit possibly guide the Howse in their determination on the prayer of this petition, if they adverted to the date fixed fur the putting in the qualification, which was the 1 Ith July next, regarding that it might not perhaps he objected to bring postponed till the next Session. Mr. CA I,CRAFT intimated, flint it might be de sirable for the other party to have some notice of the proceeding. The SPEAKER said, that perhaps the most con ' venient course fur the Mouse to adopt would he, f..r the lion. Member to withdraw his motion, and the Petition to lie on the Wile. Lord Mit.Tort said a few words. Mr. FINE gave notice, that he would make a motion on the subject on Thursday next. A messenger from the Lords brought down a Bill which their Lordships had passed to enable the Clergy to exchange their glebe lands. The SPEAKER. with reference to the day on which Mr. Fyne had given notice of his motion, informed the lions., that though two election ballots stood fur that day. it was probable but one of them would be proceeded in. Mr. IVEsT, seeing a Noble Lord in his place, would wish to ask him whether any measure was in contemplation by his Majesty's Government for effecting a wore speedy gaol delivery in the northern comities Lord CASTLEREAGH said, that he believed his Hon. and Learned Friend, the Attorney-General, had given notice of some measure atter the holidays, which would embrace the subjects respecting which the lion. Geostlemati had inquired. It certainly hail been in the contemplation of Government, and considerable progress had been Mille in it : some difficulties, it was true, had occurred, lint he be lieved they were of such a nature as to be easily overcome. Lard ARCHIBALD lIAMILTON gave notice of a motion, which be intended to make after the holi days, fur lists of those persons who were entitled to vote for County Members in Scotland. He should do this with a view to shew the nature elf the repre sentation of that country ; and as lista of those persons were normally matte up, he should be only moving for a document which was already prepared. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. Lord CASTLEREAGII gave notice that he should, te-morro►w, mule that the House do adjourn to Thursday next. • rency or Nu 25 pre cent. it would follow that if the allowances were satisfac►orily fixed in 1815 at 12,000/., there was good reason for come inquiry now, when by the change he bad alluded In the 12,n001. had been raised to 15,0001. The Noble 'Lord had certainly given no explanation as to the 'difference of expense between this country mid France. Lord CASTLEREAGH explained, sad stated the necessity of allowing for the luss by exchange. Sir 1101I6RT Wit.sox observed, there was some difference between the claims An the hospitality of Brutal) A mlhowedora and thou. of oilier countries. The Report was then agreed to, nod, with the amendments. ordered In be engrossed. The House then adjourned at twenty minbtes to roc. FiIREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FLANDEItS MAIL. DItESDEIIf, MAT 4. The exact time when we may expect the Em peror of Auotrii in this city is not yet known, but it to supposed that his Majesty will come in the first week in Julie, with several members of his among whom will he the Archduke Rainer, Viceroy of the kingdom of Lombardy. The discovery of the ins of Professo► Kn. Retro becomes more and more extraordinary. Since the arrest of the artillery soldier, Fischer, another individmil has been arrested, who betrayed himself by carrying to a shoemaker the boots of the Professor. It is said that he has likewise con. fessed bis guilt, though Fischer declares that he had no accomplice in this crime. The Court has gone to Patin: fur the summer. IFILMCKYORT, NAT 7. Mr. Lamb, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of Great Britain to the German CunfederatiGn, returned to In. post a few days ago. RERUN. APRIL 27 . The measures for suppressing some of the Re gencies (or provincial governments), and the new divisions of the administration, begin to be carried into execution. The dissolution of the superior Regency of Reichenbsieli, in Silesia, has been an nounced to it officially by the High President of Silesia, M. Merkel, who has himself given in his resignation, and who will leave no successor, be cause all the functions of High Presidents are to cease. The Grand• Duke Nicholas and his consort (the King's eldest daughter) are expected here without foil in the course of this mouth. The Grand Duchess will probably remain here the whole summer. On acconnt of the increasing population of the kingdom of Hanover, especially in the working classes. a regulation has been introduced (say our papers), that when persons of this class contract marriages, they are required that they do not marry inconsiderately, and without having a reasonable prospect of being able to maintain themselves. The Hanoverian Government has issued an Or dinance for the University of Gottingen, impel". jug more rigorous penalties on duelling with pis tols, on account of the imminent danger to which it exposes the lives of the combatants, than the penalties di creed against duelling in the usual manner.—(Brassels Papers. May 16.) Civil. LIST. Mr. nnOGDEN brought up the Report on the Civil List Bill. Mr. Ctr OWEN said, that although no person could more desire to see the Crown supported with all the splendour and dignity that was requisite than him self, yet considering the distressed state of the country, and that the only measures by which we could hope for a return of prosperity, were rigid economy and a diminotiaii of expenditure, he could not but regret that something of the sort had not been done by his M Ministers. Such a step would have gratified the country without impairing the dignity of the Crown. Mr. J. 13. MoNCK said, that with regard to the allowances to Envoys and Ambassadors he could not but consider them as extravagant, and he thought it would not he at all derogatory to the country if they were to be placed on a similar foot ing with the Envoys and Ambassadors of one of the greatest powers of Europe ; he meant tlw King of France. The Ambassadors of that Po tentate were divided into two classes, and the whole of the superior class had but aii allow ance amounting to about 6,000/. sterling n-year, with the single exception of the Ambassador to the Court of London, who bad, on account of the greater expense of living here, an allowance of 8,000/. per annum. Now it would appear by the papers on the table, that in our superior class the 1111torester to Ambassadors was 14,000/. a year; and for the Envoys to the Northern Powers. from 5 to 8,000/. • year making altogether, a difference of 80,000/. between the amount paid and what they would receive at the scale of the French Govern ment. He should like to know the reason why such *difference should exist, and certainly, if a saving to that amount could be made, it was mate• nal toot it should be done. ° Lord CASTLEREAGH said, that the allowances to Ambassadors had been under the consideration of a Committee of Out House in the year 1815, and the rates paid were considered not too high. It should Ire remembered that the eituation necessarily involved • degree astute and expense which, as many of the most meritorious of the public servants in that de partment were not men of large private fortunes, would press extremely heavy .were the allowances fixed on • less liberal scale. flu allowance was only to the first class, 11,000/. a year, where a house alas provided for the embassy ; where that was not the care 1,000/. was added for that expellee. He could not consider that the conduct of any foreign Government was such an infallible criterion that we • must necessarily follow it or be in error. Mr. D. W. HARVEY said, that although there had been an iuqusry in 1815, that was very far from proving that there was no necessity for an altera tion now. A few nights ago it was stated that the whole of the Civil List had undergone • complete investigation in the year 1815, and therefore no iii riviry was now necessary : thus sasoming that that Committee had received full powers to discharge its functions, and hail discharged them satisfactorily. To this the lion. Member fur Touriton had well observed in reply, that though the Committee had been appointed, they were ilisarrued of all the powers prefatory to effect the objects fur which they were instituted. But even supposing that the Com mittee io 1815 had received full powers, and that they had exercised them to the setisfsction of every one, he contended that in the prevent state of the country every possible retrenchment should be loektello, in order to diminish the great expenses under which it ground. Ma. Pitman said, that as it was acknowledged there bad been a change ia tie value of our car- 3iiiITESII Pith:SS. LON DON, FRIDAY, MAY ig, 1820. The Report of th Civil List Bill was brought up in the House of Commons yesterday evening, and agreed to, after a short conversation upon the subject of appointments to British Ambassadors. Notice was given by Lord CASTLERUAGID, that he will this evening move an adjournment of the House until next Thursday. Lord filtveoir's motion for the repeal of the IVool Tux is fixed for the Friday following; and on the same evening the Marquis of LANSDOWN intends to bring forward his motion relating to the state of our foreign trade. Two questionslof isiore importance cannot he discussed, or to which greater interest is attached. in the pre sent circumstances of the country. It is extremely desirable that the debates upon them, respectively, should be sent forth to the public with all pos sible advantage ; but or the debate on each ques tion will, by itself, be sufficient to fill the columns even of a London newspaper, we lament that they should both fill on the lime evening. An account has been printed by order of the House of Comutonc, sheaving the disposition of the grants made by Parliament for the public service during the year which ended on the sth of January last. The total amount of sum' voted. and pay ments for services not voted daring the last ye■r, was 69,517.6941. 8. 5111. and the total of ways and meow. 69.876,6201. 18S. 40.

The estimated ch:n. v ... of the present year are larger than those of the year, and the produce of the ordinary revenue, not withstanding the imposition of the new taxes, is iint likely to be greater; it is therefore to he preitamts: that the Government must have recourse this Sfs lion to expedients similar to those which are enu merated in the furegoitig table. l is indeed otrn. ly suspected that the idea of an income tax 0p.,: improved principles, limited in it. rprrot•fiti regard to the nature of prow-0y :,t1: (-tr.!, urn , I.) the prriod of its cootiowsocr, part of i!te plan of finance which will he submitted this Sr.. lion to the House of Common.. The ;.riociple of a property tax is such, that it can rendered by any modifications consonant to tti C feelings of Englishmen. but the state of our finances calls imperatively fur some decided slid energetic measures, and it is certain Ora the coun try is now reduced to the altertialive of bring corn. pelted to submit to the sacrifice of an income tat. or of seriously retiniring the Ministers of the Crown to effect en extensive retrenchment in the public expenditure. The military estii'•;nliment seems to offer the fairest field for commencing the work of economy. but the rejection of Colonel DAvtEs' motion for the appointment of a Com mittee of Inquiry presents an inau-picious augury upon this point. We have received Paris Papers of Sunday and Monday last. The ecclesiastics of Spain seem to he violently opposed to the constitution of the Cotes, and some of them de not pretend to con ceal their sentiment.. A priest at Ordrigna, in Biscay, had the imprudence to horn a copy of the constitution publicly in his church. telling the spectators that it was hostile to the principles of tl e Christian religion. The political authorities of 11.. place proceeded to arrest him, hot the pvitgt ha l the good sense to ran off. Ue arrived at Bsynoce on the sth of this month. Another eccle•intic preached publicly against the constitution in the tow■ of Caceres, but the people compelled the Magistrates of the town to prosecute him, and he was thrown into prison. The battalions of Lesitad and Goias, infamoes for the massacre of Cadiz, are completely dissolved, and Generals CAIIIPAV♦ and VALDEZ have been thrown into prison. Legal proceedings have Fiero instituted against them for their concurrence in the massacre. • The Journal des Debate mentions • report pre vailing in Paris, that the Queen of ENGLAND haa been for some days in Pa►io, where her MAJESTY observes a strict incognito.

Intelligence has been received from Buenos Ayres to the end of Frbrua'y. It was brought by a vessel which left Rio Janeiro on the 17th March. It states, that at the former dote the public mind at Buenos Ayres had been considerably agitated, but no disorder had taken place. A Treaty has been made between Buenos Ayres, Entre Rios, and Santa Fe. It is dated February 23, and 'purports to be entered into for the purpose of putting an end to the war which bad arisen between them, for provid ing for their ulterior seenrity, and for concentrating their forces and resources under one federal govern ment. The substance of its principal clauses is given in another part of our Paper. In the discussion of a case yesterday iu the Court of Chancery, to which Bit QUEER is a party, Mr. BROUGHAM declared that her MA AMY will immediately return to England.
