Mr. HUSKISSON, pursuant to the notice he had given yet terday, begged to call the attention of the house to the Stand ing Order which hail been interposed to the progress of the Bill far the repeal of ,the Spitalfields Act,, Since the Order had been first pressed upon the House yesterday, he had considered the subject very attentively. and had examined the Journals of the Hottse. The result was, that he thought it was impos- Bible the Order could have th e m ea ni n k which had been con tended fot. The Order s pok e o f an y Bill for the regulation of any trade ; but this he apprehended must mean the•laying on of some restraint, or enacting some limitation respecting trade. This was certainly the understanding of the meaning of the Order at the time it was made. As the law now stood. there were certain restraints upon the silk trade, and tip Bill lie had beought in Went lo the removal of those restraints. This lie considered was not only not ragtilating the trade, but was taking away regniation. if, ind ee d, it had been proposed to eXtend the restraints from the County of Middlesex (to which they were now confined) to all parts of the kingdom, then he admitted this would be a regulation of the trade, and would ,tomeitithin the meaning of the standing order. There was a former standing order that all Bills concerning Trade should be refereed to a Committee of the whole Hciuse in the first in. stance. Now, these two orders wes'e inconsistent 'with each , other ; for it would surely he inconsistent in the House to sit in a Committee to ascertain the principle of a measure,. and having ascertained it, to send that measure to a Select Cons .mittee to be considered. There was another inconsistency in the artier ; for it declared that the Select Committee it spoke of', should be appointed before the first reading of the Bill ; but until the first reading of the Bill, the House could not be con versant of its contents ; and yet a Dill once brought into the House would be a violaoon of the standing order. He should move for a Select Committee to Inquire first whether the stand ing order in question related to Bills for taking off restrictions on trade ; and next, whether it was expedient that the order itself, which had in fact remained a dead letter since it was made, should remain in the Order Book. The Right Hon. (Gen tleman then moved for the appointinent of such a CoMmittee. Mr. S. WORTLEY said, the Order in question had been introduced for the very purpose for which it was now used. He himself, on a former occasion, bad been prevented bringing iii a TIM regulating trade until he had first had the question sub mitted to a Select Committee. There was indeed a Bill now on the table which was an illustration of his argument. It was the Bill respecting the stamping of linen. Many persons en gaged in the linen manufactory disapproved of that Bill. and conceived that it was intended merely to give a monopoly to capitalists. He did not now propose to argue whether they were tight or wrong in this conception, but they had certainly a right tp be heard., lie had not the least objection to the mo tion of his Right honourable Friend, because he was con vinced that a Select Committee would see the utility of this Standing Order. Mr. D. BROWNE spoke in support of the Standing Qr , iler, and contended that it would be highly unconstitutionatto pass a measure aKeting the rights of individuals without fink giving them a hearing, The, CALANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that from the manner in which his Right Hon. Friend who spoke last had treated this question (for he had treated it as a consti tutional One), it might be imagined that the ,House were about to interfere with some measure the result of the wisdom of their ancestors. The question, however, was merely upon a stand 'ng order of the House, tiro result of the wisdom by which he leChencellor) was then surrounded, and he had therefore Ward.te change. -Ile (Mr: Canning), Lowever, meant to dill& from all who had . hitherto spoken, to strictly arldressiog self to the question.—(k laugh.)--Without saying who -was right,' or who was wrong, inthis question as to the standiag Order, he considered ahottheproper course w4s, that.thedis.. putt should now be settled. Once. for all. ,He. could x 94, therefore, - agree to: the proposal of -.the Noble - LortroPpOstte (Lord Milton), whicit i ,Slthough it might save them allay at present, would be ilia means of losing many days Items:for word, HOUSE OF .LORDS 4 MAy The Apprentices' Bill was r:Aurned from the House of COM mons, with the amendments agreed to.

AUSTRIA AND SWITZERLAND. The Marquis of LANSDOWN said, that seeing the Noble. Earl at the heed of his Majesty's Government in his place, he would beg leave to ask him whether any communication had been made to him of any treaty, convention, .or stipulation for the military occupation of Switzerland by the Austrian army. He (the Marquis of Lanstlown) was not enabled to stste that such an arrangement had been . concluded, but It was reported throughout the country that auch was the case, and oven that the treaty was signed in March last, It cotll4lot escape thfiX. Lordships that this was a question of the 141iiat to the affairs of Europe, and ono on which it was . particularly necessary the House should. be inform el. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, that he had never even . hi ard'of the report to which the Noble Lord tilluded till within the last half hour from the Noble Lord himself ; after that, it was hardly necessary for him to say that lie had no knowledge, either personal or official, of any treaty, couVentiOn, or stipule-, don of the nature stated by the Noble Lord % • : On the motion of the Maquis of • LAN spowg, the'name of Lord Auckland was added to the Committee of Weights and Measurm—Adjourned till to-morrow. sh o rtly will be publiolied, in.

LITERARY NOTICE. The WORLD in MINIEETRE ; edited by *Furman SHOBERL. AUSTRIA : containing a %Description of the Manners, Customs, Charpcter, and Costumes of the People of that Empire, illustrate/11)y Thirty-two Coloured Engray. ings. In Two Volumes. It rarely happens that human operations in general, as well as those of - a literary descrip tion,' equal in their progress the expectations which they at first excited. But the work, of which the two volumes before us form 'part of a series that we have from time to time brought to the notice of our Readers, constitutes a strik ing exception. Elegant, beautiful, and instruc tive, us all the the former volumes have been, they have alt, as they have advanced in number, increased in excellence.—The intelligence which the whole conveys is obviously derived from the best 'authorities,. and from the general mass which the Editor has consulted, he has made his selections with great judgment. The information is ample without redundance .the .Readeri are furnished, with all that is • interesting and important' throughout those parts of the civilised world which have hitherto been noticed, and afEords the 'most promising omen that all which is to follow will fully equal, and most probably excell, all that has preceded. Mr- SUOBEItL, the' Editor, is not, ,as his name seems to imply, a foreigner, but a native of this country. He•is,the author of several works of established reputation, and is evidently a scholar and a [ruin of taste; and, r as an historian, he is diligent, Sa• gacious, and impartial. The manners, Aisposi 'lion, habits, - and , .opinions, of the natives throughout the Vast Austrian Empire, appear to be faithfully described ; and though the Work is founded on truth, it has all the charm of fiction, find by its attractive . exterior and incidental embellishments, is calculated to allure and gratify the 'female Reader as well as the Politician and Philosopher. In justice With. A CK EItMANN, the Proprietor, it may fairly be said that the public are highly indebted to him for bringing forward a work of such in trinsic merit aod such ornamental The prints ttiOne are so beautifully executed, and, whether in groups or single figures, are so vividly characteristic, that in thernielves they would fornt an admirable subject of amusement, and afford lessons for the student in drawing.—We can assure our Readers that: we do not invite their attention by any extravagant eulogy, but feel it a. duty to recommend a work which ought 'to hold a respectable station in every British Library.

The whole amount of the: penaltiei sued for, 4 , a4 14001. . Two other counts for penalties of 200!. each were afterwards added to the information, on a charge of break ing bulk, or allowing goods .to be taken out, before: the ship had entered harbour. '.l'he breaking italic consisted in allow ing two passengers, who were sick, to rbe , landed with their luggage—on these last _ counts he was convicted. The Pr. titioner complained of the bringing hint to,the eve of trial, on a charge which he could resist, and then adding to the infortha tion, a charge which be could not resist. (M r . H ume ) thought It a case for the lenient consideration; of his .3lajesty's Oovernment. , . The petition having been read, Th e ArronNEY,.GEN KRAL said, the petitioner had been treated with the greatest lenity.. The ship woe given up to the Owners, because It was believed that they were not aware of the conce.alment of the smuggled ankles. There never was a doubt that.: the .Captain was tt participator. Ile was pro secuted ; and he himself petitioned ,to have the . proceedings stopptd. An additional count was inserted in the information, in save him front an additional prosecution to wrier he h „,l exPosed himself; for breaking bulk. If he had had no defence .as to this. charge, why did he attempt to makeany ? But the . fact was, that he was ,convicted upun the whole c h arge .

II E said, if the man had hiinself prayed for; the delay, h e heti no ground to statui , tvon—he was at,tht..t. mercy of. the-Crown. ; The petition was ordered to be printed. Mr. II LISKISSON presented a petition from the West India Merchants of Liverpool against the equalization of Sugar little hesitntion in proceeding to examine it. The object of the . standing order was to prevent unnecessary, unwise, and pretti pitate restraints from being imposed upon trade, but could not be understood as refetting to Bills which proposed to take off restraints. Indeed had he thought, when the order was first proposed, that any other meaning than that which'he had men tioned would be attributed to the order, he would have noposed its being adopted by the House. lie had long satin that House, and heard Gee/eminent reproached and taunted for not availing themselves.of their influence to remove restraints uptin Coins merce.; and now, when the Government were proposing such a measure, he thought it a little hard that they were mere by objections of this sort. Ile approved of the motion for ap pointing a Select Committee. . Sir R. FERGUSON completely agreed in opinion -with the Right lion. Gentleman who had last spoken, and the Right lion..llover. llc thought this interpretation of".the standing order was perfectly correct ; and if it was not, the sooner that order was blotted froM the order book the better. As to the observation of the Member for Yorkshire, upon the . Bill rela tive to the stamping oflinen, he begged to observe that he was well acquainted with the, persona most interested in' that men.. .sore, and that they approved of the Bill. The only diversity of opinion on the subject was, that which was between the nianufacturers and the stamp masters, who were likely to lose their places. Mr. S. WORTLEY explained. lie would, when the Bill in question Caine on tar discussion, be fully able to. reflite the :statement of the Gallant General. Mr. CALCRA FT said that the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Fiche:quer having caught a little fire from his (Mr. V.'s), side of the heels, with regard to liberal measures, appeared to desire to run on , head over heels, in spite of the standing Orders of the Rouse. Ile appeared to treat these orders as im pediments ; but they were no more impediments then the first itud second reading, and the committal of a Bill were. The standing order in question was no More than one of the stages of a, Bill' Of this description The Right nom Gentleman needed not to fear that these on his (Mr. (2..' . 5) side of the House weee . .deeirous of potting a bridle upon him 'in his course of liberal measures. There was no fear of the Right 'lion. Gentle.: man Mill wry going on too fast. Ile had pressed the Naval and tensions' Bill' against all sense and reason, anti he might; perhaps, now want to take credit to himselffor having given up the Lottery. Ile (Ur, C.) b e lie ve d, h owever , that the Lottery 'hall given up the 'light Hon. Oentletnan, and thatgood bidders could not be obtatnetl.--(The Chancellor of the Exchequer here dissented).--There certainly had been - a report that there Iva.; much hesitation on the last bidding. To return, however, to the question before the house..,-( Hear, hearl'and a laugh.)_ lie did not sec the necessity tbr appointing a Committee to con.; !icier what was already so very clear. believed that the standing order was framed for this very' case ; .but if the House appeared to think the appointment of it Committee a proper course, he should not oppose the motion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER explained. Ile could assure the Honourable Cientleman that .the liesita lion on occasion of the Lottery Bidding, to. whreh. he, bad alluded, was neither more nor less titan a pause of Omit five miuutes. 'BROUGHAM hoped ho was not one of those. who would be taunted as throwing impediments in the way of the liberal measures of Ministers, for it happened that he aoprosed highly of the principle of the bill affected by this standing ors tier, and shonld give it every support. Be rejoiced much in ate amversionpf some of the Right Non: Members opposite to the, doctrines which those on his side of the House had ea long and so unsuccessfully impresstd upon them. The Mest trio is convert was the Chancellor, of the Exchegiter, and the 'next to him in lustre was the Right Hon.. the President of the Board of trade. lie should be able to prove the convereion,. in some ropecta t .of the Chancellor of 'the Exchequer, though he feared that Right lion. Getaleman would not shew it in his lite and cOrmtsation. Indeed the President of the. Board of Trade had long since confessed his conversion to those doc trines, though tie would not vote in favour.of them. Ile now chine to the question-4A laugh)—whieh it seemed to be the fa4tion to take lust. Ile was acquainted with the history of the Order, ,and he feared it war, irons the on inteution of its iotrodocers, an obstacle iu the way of - the present But .he did not,wish hastily to decide upon a point suimportant as it was its the present instance, anti thought it was better to :refer the matter to a Select Committee, with which he hoped his lion. Friend would be satisfied. Lord 311LTON-tlionght the straight forward course was, to refer the Bill to a Select Committee, in confotuliT with the Standing Orders of the* Ilbuse, end leave the question of the miming of the Standing Order in dispute to be settled in any other way, or at any future time. awfutop was sorry to see the Right Hon. Gentle-. man opposite so Muelkdaiinted , by obstacles, and he noSorttl hiin he coultVnot..o on with the management of the concerns of die country if lie were'to be impeded by smell OPPeeititon-- Ile hosted he would perseme in the course he had -Iron, and .sueceed in ricld tl,them of. some of those obooxiqui laws which .stood irtt e way, of die prosperity of. the country, Mr.*etotary,CANNl4N6 said, that. Isis Right 1 on. Friend only copipleteed that instead of being supported in the KO pmtion for an alteration of the old system, be was taunted because *Atilt: elitism which existed in that which he come for . _ Mr. F. BUXTON observed, that after having debated.many subject*, it might nut be amiss to .ask -the Right lion. Gentle man opposite whether he meant to take a coarse which -should grant the petitioners what they desired.-oo be heard by.Gotta sel against this Bill. Mr. HUSKISSON said, that in his view it *as necessary that a Committee should be appointed upon this .statirling order, for if that Cotnmittee declared against the:-view, Jae (Mr. IL) took of it, the Bill having been irregOlarly broug ht in must fall. Otherwise he had no objeetion to give those who4hought it prejudicial to Abair interests an opportunity of being heard. • • Mr. P. MOORE gave it as his opiniott that the disputed point about the order should be settled immediately. His opi nion,was, that it did not afflict this BilL But he was particu larly interested in it, because he had been insuumental. to .re moving many Acts from the Statute Bunk which.were•adis grace to it. The question was then put, and carried in the aaraiative, and a Committee appointed to sit to-morrow. AUSTRIA • AND SWITZEIt LAND. Mr. BROUG HA 51 said, that seeing the Right Hun. Secre tary for Foreign Affairs in his place, -he wisher.!. him a question, founded upon intelligence whiCh._hati reacted la in from sources of information which, if not aothentic, 'were -at least entitled to great attention. His information.relacetl to al leged occurrences respecting Switzerland, and was ii further.ap parent development of the system of the Iloly Alliance, Not withstanding all that the Swiss Cantons had clinie to eourt the favour and avert the anger of the peatslliettPowers i b,y,re fusing a domicile within their territory to those polkas:xi re fugees who sought an asylum ivithio them front the peraeco thin of their own Governments—notwithstanding t h is,. tlissie Allies were said to be engaged in measures towards Switur land, which, if all or even any part of them. were•founded, far nished serious cause of alarm at the present crisis. -Ile :sashed to ask if any, and what communication had been made by the Austrian Government to the Cantons of Switzerland—at least, to one or more, if not to 411 of them--having for its object the imposition of material changes in the internal condition of these Cantons. One of these changes was said to be the offer of the Protectorate of an Austrian Archduke ; and, not that Austria was willing to extend her care to the ,Swiss States poli tically,. but also ecclesiastically—that she wished to .assutrie spiritual as well as temporal jurisdicton over them, end to dic tate a change in the ecclesiastical constitution of the cantons, by nominating the Catholie , Bishops in these Protestant states. This alteration, if not insisted upon, was, he had heard, at least proposed. The cession.. of Geneva to the King of Sar dinia was also mentioned as a part of the new propositions.— The whole, or • a part of these demands had, as he was in formed, been communicated to the French Government, and they were asked if they would like. to see thehrintenee and power of Austria predominate in Switzerland., - The reply of the French Government was, as he understood, that certainly it was against their wishes, their interest, and, their ancient policy, to see such a predominating power established in. Swit zerland ; but it was still less their .wish to.see such a neigh: booting territory situated as it now was. -natnely, to have Swit zerland made the focus of jacobinism. These were the reports which had reached him, and he had since he entered this hciuse heard, that a noble person had in another xilatle a ssltich he could Tint regularly . name, inquired whether hia,Majestyie Govern. , meat were informed of any treaty: signed last :March by the three Allied Powers, itprin. which was founded the intended military occupation of '.Switzerland by 'Austria. Ills (Mr. Brougham's) information did not go so far as this treaty, or she military occupation to be founded uporat s but even the least part of the lesser statement, if founded in fact, was much too much now to be told. It showed clearly enough the character of the great Allied Powert, and gave a foretaste of Abe bitter fruits Of the policy of this country. in abdicating, as they had unfortunately done, the power of using. an :effectual interposi tion for the maintenance of international freedom._ Mr. CAN If the least pan of the lesser statement of the lion. andl,earned Gentleman is much too ;numb for him to tell, it may be is satisfaction for, him tokaiuw., that that knit part is touch mote that his Alikjeatjr i slioterskinottarta informed trfi'''--(1-lear.i) • • • nu: GREEKti AND TURKS.

He hoped at least that the British GoVernment would net an :equal part between, the .:Greeks and, Turks in. the present Mr. CANNING said, that in one or two instances the Go vernment had been informed of a violation (;$f the Greek block. , ado, but that, in one instance especially, which, eame.to their knowledge a tbrtnight ago, they had immediately sent out most positive ortirrtl that the 'British cruisers should respect alike the blockadesot' both power& • . SUGAR DUTIES. Mr. ELLIS presented a petition from persons in Landon; on. netted with the \Vest India Colonies, against the equalization of the Duties on East and'lVest India Sugar.—Laid on, the table. Mr. A STELL presented a peution from the East India COM , pally, praying for the equalization of the Sugar Duties, the production of the two Coleniee.—Ordered to beprinted. • Mr. N. WII,LIAMS presented A similar petition from the Merchants of Calcutta. Mr. MONEY impressed upon the Honer the consideration due to this petition, as the first coming.frotn British India. By the machinery of this country we had deprived thelbitisli pos• sessions in that quarter of ..the globe of the wale they formttly had in many articles especially the calico trade. The ,East Indies, however, had lessened the coat of production of sugar below that of the 'West Indies. Even-handed, justice, there fore, demanded, on the part of the. Mother Country, to allow to these petitioners the advantage of tunier-seUirtg where they had acquired . the power of doing so. • - Mr. T.,'WILSON hoped, the House would not fall into the error of supposing; that the Calico Trade of India had been taken a any by this country. It .was 010 effect of wia,, and no thing doe which had been the cause of it. . . After a few words from AuTti.t. and Mr. BaroitT, the petition was read, and ordered tulle on the table. • CHIEF .
