. . not tohavird that popularity by re j ect i ng the Ina• tion before them. Mr. FULLER was of opinion that it was necessary fur the Prince to have a private StTretary to his pri vate correspond , nce. There must also be a great pres Sure of public business upon him. A great deal had been said about patriotism ; it was curious enough to hear the family of the Grenviltes calling out so loudly about patriotism ; they who possessed places, which, when they were first conferred upon them, were not - worth more than six thousand pounds a year, but which had now increased in value to above 30,0001. a year This was really a burthen to the people, - and it would be some thing like patriotism if the holders of those places would decline to take more from the State than the sums which lhey were originally worth. .The fact was, that patriotism had nothing to do with the pre sent motion. It originated in party disappointment, and in nothing else. For his part, he believed the country would have been happy to see such men as the Duke of Bedford and Lord Grey among the Ad ministration. But if .they had weighed themselves doWn with a mill-stone which they bad tied round their own necks, it was not the fault of the Prince or of the country, but their own fault alone. After a short reply from Mr. WYNNE, the House ided— For the Motion • . Against it • • . Majority BARRACKS. . 103 • 167 . --- 67 Mr. LUSHINGTON appeared at the Bar with the :Report of the Committee of Supply. On the question that it be brought up, Mr. FREEMANTLE objected to the motion, until the estimates and plan for which he hid last night moved should be oti the table of the House. Mr. WtritaTo:.l re-stated the argoments which_ be urged in the ComMittee yes!erday evening against the objections of. the Hon. G;:titleman ; observing, that if,' when the plans were produced, the House should think these barracks were 'on too large a scale, the remedy would be easy, by refusing the supplies for them in futUre years. Mr. WHITBREAD then moved as an amendtnent, that instead of ;" now," the teporr sitotld be brought up " to=morrow seitiniiht. conversation 'took place, in which:Mt. iiikes, Mr, Wilberforce, the Chancellor of the Elti- I'diequvr, WhitbreAd, Mr. Freenihntle, Sir J. Newport, the Speaker, Mr. 'J. Smith, and Mr. POn sOnby, partici-pated. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER expressed ilsk ilAng, to reserve the go,oool. objected to for future coli,idvration, and Mr.WHITBanAD I.s ith chew his amendrnenr. The. report was then brought up, and the other rtsn:utions, which were considered as unexceptwn atAe, agreed to. • The Report of the Gold Coin Bill, was postponed to Thuisday. _ _ Mr. WELLESLEY POLE moved in a Committee the Ergoltition of which he had given notice, respeding the Auditors 'of Civil Accounts. The Board, he arid, was to consist as heretofore of three Members, but it was proposed considerably to extend their powers, in otder to render them nr:re efficient, in conformity with the opinion expressed in the Re port of the Finance Committte. The salary to the three Members was 8001. a-year each : it was pro posed to extend the salaty of the first Member to Wool. • Sir Joutsr NEWPORT disapproved of the propo sition : he said the salaries of this Board were to be diminished, because a Board was to be establi►fled to audit the Military Accounts at a great expence, nd y rt time salary of one of the Members was in (lca cd. Mr. W. PoLa lamentct that the Right Hon. Ba tonethad not made himself acquainted with the whole of the subject before he made his objections. The Military Accounts were at present audited by the Comptioller ot Army Accounts, General Brown- Ogg, who had 17001. a-year, and two assistants, me at 800 pounds and one at seven hundred pounds a-year. It was proposed, upon the recommendation f Gen. Brownrigg himself, to constitute them into a Boaill. It was al'o proposed that General Brown risg should retain his present salary, but that his suLcessoi should only have one thousand a year, and that the two other Members should have eight hun eired a years which was in fa& only an increase of the hundred a year; and the saving to the public, on the whole, would, on the dent hor resignation of Gentrai Brownrisg, be 4001. a year. I hos Resolution was, then agreed to. Mr. POLE then moved his. Resolution respeaing the Audi.ots of Military Accounts; witicti was agreed to.—AdAtirued. MAILS. AR R ivrri-1 Lisbon.

It Was supposed that the diaboli cal crime bad been perpetrated by, some ruthless villains, who had entered his house in st.arci+ of plunder, and would appear that his wife and every part of the laMily affected the most complete Igno rance of the awful transa6tion. On the assembly of a concourse of people, Which so unusual a -cumstance was likely to create, suspicion fell upon one of the servant men,by distithA traces of blood from the bat of the deceased tolhat of his, which' was in .a higher part of the house. On , examitt-' log him, these suspici ons were stre ngthened, by fioding, marks of blood upon his shirt. A .peace ~otficer was sent for; and the young man taken into custody. When the - constable was 'taking him to a neighbouring magistrate, he said to the consta. ble, Well, I suppose I . must be hanged ;" and. on being pressed for a disclosure of his meaning, , confessed the following- particulars :—That the murder of his master was determined upon, be tween his mistress and himself; that the time, manner, and circumstances of it were concerted by them ; that in the night time they fell upon hint with an axe, and beat him with it ';about - tire head, Until they thought him dead, and in the course of 'their brutality struck out one of his eyes. That they then left him, but were soon apprized, that he was yet living ; they returned to their 'work of blood, and again retired, under the persi•asion that he had breathed his last : That they .were still dis appointed, and although the unnatural wife pressed the man to go and Make a firiish of his master, he said he could not resume the task ; and he absoltre ly refused, until she found an expedient to retnov4 his - scruples; by furnishing him with a razor,.. fO - his throat ! It was then the vtiork was : corn.. pleted. -He stated, that be had been urged to t h e horrid deed by his mistress, who wanted hiin to marry her. immediately on this confession, the constable un t locked the handcuffs With which he had locked him- , sell to.the prisoner, fastened the. latter by the same instruments to an assistant he had with him, l and immediately ran back to take the wife it - ImA t wo. dy. When he entered the house,• he told her the dhe confession of the servant, and bid her pre plire to accompany him to the lags nie.
