MESSAGE FROM T 111; LORDS. A Message from the Lords announced their Lordships' assent to several public and private Bills. • CAPE BRETON. Mr. HUME rose to present a petition front the in. habitants of the town of Sydney, in the island of Cape Bre ton, which he considered' to be of great importance. In 1763, this Colony; among,many others,. was ceded to this country. It was a part of our Coloni a l policy, that when Colonies were conquered or acquired , the King should have the power of directing the . manner in which they should be governed ! But Lord Mansfield, w h o h a d stretched the Royal Prerqgative as far as any man with regard to Colonim had stated that when that power had once been exercised, it ceased to exist. After the 'cession of. the isloods, tome of th em received, by proclamation, a form of Government and Houses of Assembly, by which all laws Were to be made,; In Grenada the freeholders were immediately assembled, and the others proceeded to form their assemblies as circumstances permitted. At Cape BretOn the Islanders almost all quitted the colony, and there were not freeholders enough. to act. In 17813, when Governor Parr received instructions from the King he was prohibited from introducing any laws but those of Eng land, and it was distinctly stated that the Act of the General As setnbly of Nova Scotia should hava no force in that settlement. After this, encouraged by the prospect of living under English laws, the population of Cape Breton had increased to twenty thousand souls. Yet, notwithstanding the Proclamation of the King, and the state in which the eaten) , bad remained down to 1820, it was then made a county of Nova' Scotia, by a pro clamation of the Governor-General, Sir JaMes Kemp. Upon the authority of Sir J. Mansfield, lie conttatiled . that this was an usurpation of the power of Parliament. The Hon. Member pro ceeded to argue that great grievances had arisen to the inhabi tants of Cape Breton, front the change of their laws and condition. With regard to the right of property, there was a complete anornaly 'in their situation.' ily their old established laws, they inherited property by right of primogeniture; whereas in Nova Scotia property descended as in France,— The petitioners prayed to be relieved front these grievances, either by a return to their old Government, or by being allowed to remove, with a compensation tot loss of pro perty, to the United States, where they card live under certain and fixed laws. It was impossible to say that rights and laws could be thus overthrown by the flat rorthe Ding in Council., Be trusted that such a principle never had been, and never would be recognised in that .House. There was an im . post paid by the merchants of Nova Scotia, of two antra half per cent. from .which the inhabitants of Cape Breton were spe cifically exempted. What then must have been their Surprise when they found themselves united to Nova Scotia, and liable to this duty by the simple tiat of the King? Not only was thi s d ut y imposed on them, but it was increased to three and a half {ter cent. The Proclamation of the King in 1820, contained one po i nt to which he would partic u l ar ly ca ll the attention of the House. It stated what was raise, and what was inconsistent with the original' Proclamation, when the island was first colonized namely—that the island of Cape Breton was to be re-annexed to the Government of Nova Scotia. It was impossible that it . should. bere-annexed, because it had never been annexed. The Government might as soon think of' re-annexing the Islands of Dominica or Bermuda. .By the late union, the circulation of a forced paper currency had extended to the petitioners front Nova Scotia ; and the consequence was, that the Island was so drained of its bullion that they bad scarcely money- enough to pay for necessary articles. The Hon. Member then recapi tulated the prayer and complaints of the petitioners, and said lie thought it impossible for such a statement to be answered...— He felt that he lied not treated the subject in the way whi c h i ts importance demanded ; but he hoped the House would con sider with the greatest attention the case of so large a portion of the community appearing at their bar, as the p e t it i oners n ow did.. - The petition having been read, Mr.' 'WILMOT 'rose to' reply to some,of the observations which had fallen from the Honourable Member. The Honour able Member had commenced by declaring that the petition involved a 'great and important constitutional question : and he must say, that if that were really the case, another occa sion, and allifferent time in the evening, would be more appro priate for its discussion. But lie had no doubt of being able to convince the Honourable i%fember himself that he had quite misunderstood the case. There were two points of view in which the question ought to be considered ; the one of policy, and the other of Constitutional right. The Honourable Mem- , ber had stated that the petition was numerously signed; 'nit as far as his information went, the fact was very different. He understood that the nunlike of signatures wars, «bO, and ac cording to the lion. Member's own st atement , the population amounted to 20,000. In addition to this, he could state, that no remonstrance had ever re a ch e d the Colonial Office against the change which had taken place. If the eCidence of the Go vernor would be considered of any value against that of the Petitioners, he had stated that the change was approved by a large majority of the inhabitants, and that the petition was got up by a few individuals. The same person, when he thst attempted it, could obtain no signatures at all. And after. Wards, having obtained 40/. from some of the merchants, he had a primed paper circulated, stating that the - undersigned had authOrized their names to be affixed to apetition, and the present one was drawn up by this individual. The lion. :Member then argued that the meaning of the_ Proclamations had been mis-stated, and contended that the inhabitants had originally understood their island to be repreeented in the Ge- neral Assembly of Nova Scotia, This was proved by , their having elected two members for that purpose, which Members Were not received, because the election was informal from the want assern o b f iy fre f eholders. bulld Cape eduponpr ß ol r in e is to e n o h r ad a r i t i o y claim to to r a ig le h g t, isla T ti h v e e 'Royal Proclarnstion of 1116:3, did not extend tu that island, or he admitted there would be a good case made out. With re gard to the alleged grievances of the annexation in 1820, three years had since elapsed without complaint, and great advan tages had been derived to •the island by that Act. In fact, there was no discontent felt or expressed, upon the. part of the great majority of its inhabitants. If the House looked at these circumstances, he was sure ft would not place dependence upon the statements of the Petition. He would like This op: portunitY:of reverting to d subject, which althoitgh nut con. nected with this question, might as well be mentioned upon tation of what he had said, in a quarter which had been inge that as upon any other occasion. lie alluded to a misrepresen niouitly described by an Hon. anti Learned Gentleman as cer 'tain historical fragments.' He was aware that misrepresenta tion could not always be avoided, and he should not have mention the s u bj ect if i t h a d no t a ff ec t e d sentiments to tsa nticonduct. Be had been made to g a r, }lib ott of l i t e t i a l it necessary that the Hon. Member for Aberdeen could not justify the policyy . of leaving arms in die hands of a hostile population. lie had said no such thing. If he had, lie alic.,:dd 'have been guilty of a irrOss breach of duty, because he did not believe the popula ivas that, considering the s ti t o ti n te u t:f b t e li h e ° n s e ti i i g e libo ‘ uni a g t Il e P o t u li t d in g e a n y t, anti the attempts which were making to engage the people in troubles, no one Could justify their being left armed 'muter such circumstances. But lie nerd did use. the words hostile population." Mr. BERN AL thought this question was one of the first Ito pounce, involeing, as it did, past, as Well . as anticipated, grievances anti violation of right,. lie contended that th e Pr o . elamation of 1603, extended to Cape Bret on , an d th a t G re n a d a . had no title whatever to a Legislative Assembly, which Cape Breton did not possess. Ile considered the question adverted to by this petition as one of the highest important*. He denied that there had been an acquiescence of three years by the people of Cape Breton under the-present system. They had, on the contrary . ; taken the .earliest opportunity of obtaining legal opinions, by means of which they could ascertain their rights. Mr. BRIGHT thought this subject called for the attention of sU who took an interest in the welfare of the Colonies ; for if one Colony was. deprived of its Legislature, it was highly probable that attempts would be made to deprive other Colo nies in4he same manner. The people of the Northern Colonies were entitled to every consideration, on account of their pre sent, as well as the probability of .their future strength; but independent of this circumstance, if their rights were clear and away merely by defined, tind could be shewn to have been' long and unihter. g ru rrn ed el i a l t utro y n e u d i The 'petition vita then ordered to be on the table ; and after Some OliservutiOnS, in explanation from Mr :Hume (wlto stated that if no other Member took up the subject, he should do so himself}, was ordered to be printed.. tthheeycrivoerwne. not to, be . taken BRITISH :11USE1111. CROKEIt that he would to-morrow sub mit a motion un the subject of the British Museum. THE JJJUTISII G0vEn . ,9! .. t;:57,, AND THE BOVA- lIONS OF FRASCE. . „ Lord .JOHN RUSSELL said, that ag he had the pleasure of s-seing the Right Honourable Set Tetary . of State for, Foreign AfiiiirS once more in his place, he should take the opportunity of putting a question to hint, to which he thought that he was entitled to receive an answer. At the time when the m it h ms of certain Powers was going to plunge a considerable part of Europe into a notorious and unjustifiable War, which . m i g h t extend-nit beyond the intentions of- those-who were Most eager to commence it, he c ons id ere d i t to b e right that both 'MUM.. meat and - the country should clearly understand the relative situation in which England stood with regard to foreign Powers. Ile therefore begged leave to' ask the Right . I . ltiM Gentleman opposite, whether there was any . Stipulatkui iii any treaty to which this country was - a party, by- which it Was bound; either directly or indirectly, to guarantee the crown of France to Louis XVIII., or any of his SUcemors of the Bour bon family ?--(hear Mr. CANNING was sure that' the }louse would seethe difficulty in which he was' placed by the question which the Noble Lord had just put to him. A question of so grave and important a character required the examination of many treaties before a correct and explicit anseter could be given to it. %Vhatever information was to he supplied to the House upon it must be extracted from that mass of trea:ies which were laid on the table of the !louse In the session of 1814, and which subsequently received the approbation of both Houses of Par liament. Among those treaties, he believed, there was one which contained a stipulation, that in case any attempt to seize the crown of France were made by its late Usurper or any of his family, the Allied Powers were to put themselves into ac tion to resist with all their united forces.—(Heer, hear !)-4le likewise believed, that' in case of a revolution twitting in France front any other cause, and being directed by any other persons, a stipulation in , another of the treaties made it inetunbentapon the Allies, or at least upon Prussia, Russia, Austria, and Degland, which were bound by separate treaties with each other, to meet together and to consult in common what meas sures it might be prudent for them to take In consequence.—s (Hear !)--Perhaps in the mass of treaties there might be other stipulations relating to this subject; but taken as he was thus unexpectedly, he must observe, that the stipulations to which he bad just alluded were the only stipulations which suggested themselves on the instant to hie recollection.—(Hea r !) Lord J. RUSSELL admitted that, after the statement which that Right Hon. Gentlethan had just made, he should not be jostificti o in pressing upen him at that time for further explana. tion. He must, however, express a hope, that the Right /fon. Gentleman would duly consider the various treaties to which he had just referred, in order that he might explain to the House as soon as possible the situation which the country oc. cupied at present in relation to Foreign Powers. He said this, because he was sure that the Right Hon. Gentleman must be aware that the unprincipled invasion of Spain by France might in a short time totally alter our present situation with the latter power.—( Loud cries of " Hear!" from the Opposition benches.) --Besides it was incumbent on the Ministers of this country.... after having expended a thousand millions to place the Bour bons on the throne of France, in the fond hopes of obtaining from them a firmer security for the continuance of peace and tranquillity in Europe than could be obtained from any other cheers again from the Opposition benches)—it was incumbent, he repeated, upon them, to clear themselves even from the suspicion of being bound by any stipulation to expend even a single shilling in future in behalf of so worth. less anti imbecile a family.—(Oreat cheering.) Mr. CANNING contended that the present was an fawn. cenient time to enter into such an argument as the Noble Lord had just started. lle had understood the Noble Lord to put a question to him upon a matter of fact ; and he had given the Noble Lord an answer on the point, which, as far as his me. mory served, he believed to be correct. Taken as he was, upon the sudden, be would not pretend to affirm that he might not have omitted sotne material stipulations, The Noble Lord had interrogated him as to a matter of fact : he had given the Noble Lord the best answer in his power; and the return the Noble Lord had made him for it was to found upon it a politi. cal argument of no mean or trifling Importance. lie must ob. serve, that young as he was in his present office, no conduct was more calculated. to discourage him from answering clues. time from that (the Opposition) side of the House--a courtesy Which he was always desirous of extending to it—than the con. duct , which the Noble Lord had just pursued, in founding an argument 'on the answer which he had just received.—(Cries bf " Hear I" from the Ministerial benches.) r ' Lard JOHN RUSSELL complained that the Right Hon. Gentleman had completely misunderstood the drift of his last observations. He had not foanded any argument Upon the answer of the Right Honourable Gentleman ; he had merely intended to forewarn him of the line of argument which it was probable would be pursued when the late. negotiations at Verona and elsewhere should be brought before the conside , ration of the House. Sir IL WILSON wished to put the Right lion, Gentlemen opposite in possession of a fact, with which he believed that few Gentlemen at the present moment were acquainted. When the treaty of ChatillOn was placed upon the table, he had put a similar question to the Noble Lord who then filled the Right lion. Gentleman's Situation that his Noble Friend had just put to the Right Ifon. Gentleman himself. Be had then re ceived from the Noble Lord to whom he had alluded, a distinct and positive answer, that this country was not bound by any guarantee to secure the crown of France to the I,lourhon family. -L(Hear, hear!)—He therefbre hoped, that the Right lion. Gentleman would not gratuitously take upon himself that Odious responsibility to which his' noble predecessor had never dared to render himself liable,—Ulear Air. CANNING said, that he had already stated, that by the existing treaties a revolution Prodined in Prance in fa• your of the . late Emperor Nepoleon or any of his family was a canirfirderis, which called upon the Allied Powers to take up arms to put it: down. In case of any other revolution excited either by means or in favour of any other indivi duals,_ there was no other stipulation than thin—that the Allied Powers should assemble to concert and consult , what measures they ought to take. It was impossible either for him or any other Member to state what might be the result of such de. liberations.—(Hear I) The subject then dropped. FOREIGN EAITIAgSIES: • Mr. LENNARD rose to move for a Return, chewing the de= . crease which had taken place, since May, 1822, in that depart, rnent of the Civil List which related to Foreign . Embassies of the Third Class. It wouhl be in the recollection of the Llouse, that on a former day he had asked the Right Lion. Secretary whether any reduction was proposed in the expence of this class ; and that he had been answered in the negative. Ile (Mr. L.) intended on a future day to propose such a retluetion to. the House; but in order to his doing so with effect, he wished - to lay before the House the information for which he was about to move. Ile could -not anticipate any reilsori,ahle objection to the motion ; its v ,last year,. AD.tsecognc giving such intbrmation up to that time had been . beforatheHouse (an the.rnotion of the Member.for Aberdeen) by thalaie Lord Lan. donderry, a person by no means likely to commit ilium:llm his colleagues by oftindiost unnecessary information. - That account *belted the number and rank .at ottr FaTeign emists, Anne* the otte - 17i12, : with ihe-inektase pf salary 'from that time. The iteeuttnt DOW culled for was similar in substance, only that it &tiled for au account or, the reduction which had taken place since last May. If report spoke true, a reduction had been made in that extravvant imssion which had been sent to the Swiss Cantons,whicit had been the subject of discut . e sion in the H ouse l est S ess i on, and 'Allier ginitildb*ould We remained untouched, had it not been ibrehat dineOsitm. Air he ' ' had before stated, he intended to nioyetberenfter fer redeopion in this branch of the Public Expenditure ; - but before he; coin . ' do this, it was necessary that he - should lupe: , what redue,. done had been already made. The lion. Member then moved,: " That an humble Address be presented to 'psi-Majesty pray:. ing, that he w ill b e graciously pleased to direct, that there e laid before the House a Return, *hewing the ,decrease whl ' had taken place .in the Expenditure in respect of the Third' Class of Ahniqtrs to Foreign Courts, and , whether that tie,: crease was in the n um b er or ran k o f the Miesion or how other wise." , Mr.' Secretary CANNING. trusted, that' the graturds ore which he should place hie opposition to the ruction would tip .' pear satisfactory to the House. The Hone Member was - aware that any saving which might be made in this branch of Expert, diture was by law directed, te tit carried to the =aunt or :Elite Consolidated Fund. It necessarily followed that the amount at' that saving appeered, in due course, in the Paper* laid bee fore Parliament. He fully admitted the right '5 thtellonse to watch over the Experditure of the Crowe; but he though; it • would not be a wise: exercise of that right to call upon the Croin t. 6 state every specific appointment; anti itt fact u,: groom's-07-e every alteration et the arrangements at this departmeet: 'Title ' Indeed would b e t o p ut the, House in the place of the Execu tive. If lie was right in his tipprehtelidon of the pruner (twee to be taken •+ , y Parliameet on: subjects like' the present, WS argument was varticulerly applicabe 10 the present case; in which no blame was imputed to the Goveretnent. Ile was ready to admit that certain changes were mes!itated, with respect to Foreign Missions, send that this change would include the Mission to the Swiss Cantons, and wield occasion a r-, duction of not less than one half, in point' Of expence. Ilia objection to the motion, however, was simply' because it wvi not the usage of Parliament to interfere with these details. -, if blame, mismanagement, or corruption, were imput e d, it inlifer, undoubtedly be proper to call for information e but where neither of those was imputed, he thought there could he no reason for the interference of Parliament. Even if either of these was impu te d, h e did not say t h at he should consent to such a motion unless a case were laid before the Homee fairly calling fur information. In the present instince.his objectiun.appeared with a better grace ; because, by the Hon. Gentlerniufs own statement the conduct of Government had been not only Hattie leas, but as fir as it went meritorious. An fir as the fate of amount was desirable to be ascertained, it would appear by the annual accounts ; but lie objected to the habitual interference Of the House in Departments belonging to the administratiait of the Crown. There was no wi s h On his part to withhold sub. otantial information ' • but he shouhl oppose the pr esent. mot i on , because he objected to the practice of always bringing the Crown to account for individual appointments. Lord JOHN RUSSEI4 4 spoke in favour of the motion, and contended that the Hurley would •art inconeiseantly, by me agreeing to it, as it had agreed`to the motion of lieu year which had called for the return elready before the Hotter. He was glad to hear that the Embesey to Switzerland would be redu ced: When that subject was discussed hist.year, the minority were few in number, but the subsequent reduction had proved that a minority were sometimes in the right. Dlr. II PAIE trusted the Right. Ilon. Secretary would. not press, his proposition to this motion. Ilk predecessor in office had not refused a similar return to that whiCh win now applied for. If the Right lion. Gentleman really wished for a fair die cussion of the motion to he hereafter made by his }lon. Friend, lie would not eefuee the required informatiorn-1 he sum charg ed for Ambassadors last year, was no less than 267,001.4 and in an examination on so large a sum it was necessary to have particillars. 'Without them, his Ron. Friend on arguing up. on the expense of any particular embassy, might be met by a statement that that embassy had been reduced since the papers now before the House had been presented. If the Right Hon. Oentletnan persisted in refusing the information, the House would know what was to be expected from tin: candour of the Right lion, Gentleman in future. Air. lIUSKISSON thought the motion did not come within the limits of the custom prescribed by the, House. It was p er . fectly competent to th e House to ermine the .Estimates of any pareisuiar department of the public service ; hut unless a more of abuee was elicits', or at least stu Parliament severe called for particulars such AS itIOSO which were soup ht hy the hpresent motion.

It was not however, on this ground, but on that of Parliamentary cuts. tont, long established, that he supported tire omits. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT sahi, the appeal which had just been made to the , extravagance of the 13ourbon Government, appeared to argue a kind of sympathy between that.
