Member boa the deprave_ be .lead taken upon colonial policy, op 'tiredly for no other purpose but that of ending censure upon the Colonial Administration of the country; for it wee hardly possiOle otherwise that It should have arisen est of the consideration of a question of army extraordinaries.— The lion.

Member could have moved the reelection of an item, whirl had no pp lero ion with the earn wader consideration for the Army Ellamordinories. • la his observations upon the colonial expenditere, the Honourable Member had argued as if the ghats of 361,0001. were a dead expense or loss upon this country; hot the Hue. Member should have observed that there was a cousidmable sem receded from each Colony, amoontieg in the whole to 278,0001., which this country woeld ad have received if it had not possessed the Culunies, aid which, therefore, ought is fairness to be detected. He the. proceeded to defeud the sppointinests of the colouial agents: whoever referred to the papers on the table, sad perused them wish ideation, would stun be convinced of the irepoi deice of the duties they had to perform.

With re. sped to the inspectors of lonise militia, although the 1 militia had out bees embodied it had bees regularly mus tered; besides which, the inspectors had other important sad iediepensable duties to perform, for which they meet be paid, if these •ppoietmeets were reduced. The Hon. Gen tleman proceeded to argue that the question of the Colonial Eetablishineets did sot depend at all upon their releases. ll was edits. r reasonable, fair, nor possible to expect that they should support the expense necessary for their military ellefesee. That was a matter not of their choice, but neer.- teed, arising out of their comelier. with this country; sal as lon as this country expected to derive commercial or political edesetage from the possession of those Colonies, it was • tie rosary coosequeoce of that possession that she should pruvide fur their security, and be charged with the nailetessece of the farce aid military establishment oreeseary fur their defence.

WILSON concurred is all that had been sold by big Hon. Friend (Mr. Home), respecting the Inefficiency of the militia ire the Colonies, and whew they considered some transactions which occurred, it was very doubtful whether they were lint worts than a nullity. The Hon. and Gallant Gentleman then referred to the conduct of Colonel Row, who *everted Mr. !Nageli for having In his possession a petition which was presented to that House, end in so doing he cos. added that ()Meer guilty of a gross misdemeanor. Mr. GOO LBURN begged to recal the recollection of the Non.

If all these offices were measured according to the effective service which they performed, it would be firmed that their salaries were mach too large. The Hotioerable Gentleman then adverted to the abuses which were peke. toed in these Colonies. He could mention one Governor of the Mauritius who could point out stroogreosons fur a re. Lrrn of the vile practices which were carried ou. The Right Houourable Gentleman opposite knew well to whom be had alluded, fur be was the preens who deeded Mr. Theodore Hank, the gentleman who had robbed the public of 8 or 9,000/.

We are in great expectation of what will happen when a Reggie° negoeiator shun take an imine diate part in the negociations at Constantinople.

'Nat'l in a solid and durable manner, the sole condition of which seems to be, that by a rea sonable appreciation and consideration of the wishes and the wants of Christians subject to the Mahometsu sceptre, their interests may be made to -agree with that of the-Porte, and the dictates of justice and humsnity in Turkey be United with policy. It is affirmed that the decisicin of the Vienna Congress, relative to the integrity of the territory of the Sublime Porte in Europe, is confirmed in its full extent by the latest negociations of the great European Cabinets, so that there can be no question of any partition of European Turkey iu favour of individual Powers, or of the es.ablishment of iudepen dent States in the Turkish dominions. On the other hood we hear that the views of all the European Cabinets sire in con.idering the situation of the Chtistian nations 'ruder the Turkish dominion as callable of great ameliaration,andit is even thought that ilia not impossible to make these ameliorations agree with the political interest of the Porte, and that it ough►, therefore to be attempted. If the Turkish Government is convinced that the maintenance of the integrity of the European pos sessions of the Porte is to the joint interest of the great Powers of Christendom, it will abandon its suspicions of them, and will be the more disposed to listen to their proposals, as they hare no other object think to establish the dominion of the Porte more firm than heretofore. It is added that offers will be made to the Porte by all the mediating Christian Powers to guarantee the future security of its dominions.—Nuremberg Correspondent, June at 4. 11111111.11 N, JUNE 13. Letters from Beres, Bitaglia, and Salonichi, all agree in confirming the news of a defeat sustained by Chourschid Paella. News arrived yesterday at Belgrade, that the troops of the Pacha of Salonichi, which had advanced as far as Trikals, were driven back on the 27th of May by the united Greek Commanders, Odysseus and Diamanti, after which Trikala was taken by storm by Diamanti, and all the Turks and Jews in the place put to the sword. Another such blow, and the expected expedition of the Captain Pacha to the Mores will probably not be very successful. This shelve also how important the diversion in Mitylene is. It seems, however, that 30,000 Asiatic, are still stationed near Larissa, as an army of reserve. A great battle may there fore be expected, and the general attention of the Greeks is directed to the events in that quarter. We have received letters from Joannina, of 28th May, by which we see that the Albanians took severe revenge for the perfidy of Chourachid Podia, who withheld from them the promised treasures of Ali Pacha. They entered into negociations, and Chourachid gave them six months pay in advance. Being afterwards led against the Greeks, they deserted Chourachid in troops, and he was obliged hastily to retreat to Joannina, after having sustained great loss from the Greeks at Kard ai. He can never depend on the Albanians. He is said to be extremely angry with the Eogliah negociators, who induced the Albanitny to make the above con vention. At Joannins every thing was quiet, only provisions of every kind were extremely dear.— (Aligemeine Zei(ang, Jane 254 ITOCKUOLM, JUNI 18.

The Paris Papers up to Wednesday lest ha►e been received at our Office. They contain uo domestic news of any interest. The intelligence from Spain, which, as usual, forms a prominent port of their contents, confirms the previous accounts of the KING'S intended return to Madrid, on the 27th list. —.,—. It will be seen in the Advertisement in the front of our Paper, that the Subscriptions received by the Committee et the City of London 'Tavern for the relief of the distress in Ireland, amount to upwards of I 17,0001. The melancholy situation of Ireland has been unfortunately long before the eyes of the British public, and esti, upon their benevolence may be expected, from the constitution of human nature, to lose their influence by repetition. The moat ge nerous heart, environed with wants at home, not knowing the end to those cruel sufferings in Ire land, may sink in despondency from inability to answer interminable appeals. We wish to rtlieve the generous and humane from this painful feeling. They may rest aesured that the ensuing six weeks embrace the crisis of the most aggravated distress in Ireland. and that if the threatened horrors of that interval can be alleviated by their ex ertions, the great masse of the population in the distressed districts, however thinned and reduced by famine and disesse, may be yet preserved. The accOdgt! of this dire calamity with which the Sister blared iews , been visited are not exaggerated. They mei savour of a morbid imagination, but, unfortu nately they fall short of the reality. One great in.. &nate to perseverance remains. A prompt, ape! eimul tatieous effort may complete the God-like work of preservation, and supersede the necessity of fur- thrr exertion. Flow enviable mast be the of those individuals who have taken on active pipit in stemming the tide of calamity. when reposing from their ardoutis labours they lay their heads ution their pillows, and reflect upon the immensity of human, suffering prevented by their generous ex ertions the bleigy every where yield a cheerful ob►di ence to the Ktno's letter; recommending sirmons to be preached iu the several churches for the bene fit of the distressed peasantry io Ireland. The fol lowing cases, in which the eloquence of the pulpit has been successfully exerted in this most urgent Ind meritorious cause, are copied froth the Stamford Mercury:— Tins week the Ministers and Churchwardens of the al: parishes is Stamford have been engird in joiag from horse to house soliciting suiiscriptions fur the famishing peassatry of Ireland. From present soccer., it is expected that shoot 1501. will be raised. la AM Saint's parish alone, we under. stand, upwards, of 401. has bees collected.

Oa Sandy last a sermon was preached's( STeltou Sipe bray, by the Rev. J. T. Shirklige, on behalf of the distress ed Irish, and a collection was made on the fallowing daY amounting to upwards of SOL, which wu immediately re mitted to the London Committee. A strinon was preached on Sunday last, for the relief of the distressed Irish, at Lea, near Gainsboro', when a liberal collection was made, amounting to 27/. and upwards. Up. wards of 401. bas been collected at lillerocastle for the like benevolent purpose, and 1431. has already been remitted from Lincoln. These cases may afford an idea of the active spirit of benevolence in Lincolnshire. The ot'•er provincial papers received at our Office abound with similar accounts from their respective neigh bourhoods. July and August have been anxiously looked forward to as the period of extreme distress. This then is the moment for increased exertions. Famine cannot be put off for a season. Delay is certain death. Hope cannot sustain a body emaci ated by hunger and disease. We noticed yesterday the violent storm of thun der and lightning with which the metropolis was visited on the preceding night ; it continued at in tervals until last morning about I I o'clock, when the thunder resumed its violence, accompanied by a dense and heavy torrent of rain. We have not heard of any damage done by this visitation, and it has been productive of much good. The metro. polls, which had been burned up with the heat and choked with dust, is now cleared of all this encum brance and oppression, and we breathe a cool and pure atmosphere. From the scantiness of the grass, in consequence of the long drought, fresh butter had risen a penny in the pound, and other articles of provision, affected by the same cause, might be expected to rise in proportion. All these articles will, we presume, remain upon their former level.
