LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 20, 1835 IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE. OF LORDS, JUNE 19. PUBLIC INSTRUCTION. Lord DUNCANNON laid upon the table the report of the Commissioners of Public Instruction in Ireland. SCOTCH CHURCH. Earl HARE WOOD presented a petition from a place, the name of which we did not hear, in support of the Esta blished Church of Scotland. Lord BROUGHAM presented petitions from places in Dumbartonshire, Banff, Kilmarnock, Perth, and eight other places, against any grant to the Church of Scotland, and three petitions in favour of it. The Noble Lord also presented a petition from Perth, for the amendment of the laws—a petition for the repeal of the duty on newspapers—and one from the Glasgow Radical Association, for the removal of all Bishops from the House of Lords. Upon this latter he (Lord Brougham) did not intend to found any motion at present. A Message from the Commons requested that their Lord ships would allow the Earl of Caledon, and the Earl of Charleville, to give evidence before the Committee appointed to inquire into the nature of Orange Lodges in Ireland. Mr. E. WILMOT and others, from the Commons, brought up the Birmingham Railway Bill, with their Lordships' amend ments, to which the other House had agreed. The Bishop of EXETER gave notice that on Thursday next he should present a petition from the Rev. William Baker Stoney, Rector of Brunsboole, in Mayo, complaining of the conduct of the Church Commissioners. EXECUTION OF WILLS. Lord BROUGHAM moved the second reading of the Execution of Wills Bill. The Noble Lord proceeded at some length to point out the importance of this measure as af fecting the disposition of real and personal property. Lord ABINGER thought it was very important that the matter should be fully discussed before any change was effected in the law in this respect. Some of the alterations he,, (Lord Abinger) approved of, others he thought were objet- tionable, and all he asked was, that ample time should be given to discuss the provisions of the Bill. Lord BROUGHAM had no objection to the Bill being re ferred to a Committee up stairs. Lord MA LME SBURY suggested that the second reading should be postponed to Monday next. Lord DENMAN approved of the principle of the Bill. Still discussion was of course necessary in any alteration of so important a law ; but this Bill had been year after year be fore the House of Commons, and its provisions had undergone very ample investigation. Under all the circumstances, he thought that referring the Bill to a Committee up stairs would meet the objections of the Noble Earl (Malmesbury). After a short conversation, the debate upon the second reading was adjourned to Monday next. LAW PATENTS. Lord BROUGHAM reported from the Select Committee on the Law of Patents, that they had made certain amend ments, which he moved should be printed. Lord RODEN presented a petition from the Reverend Harcourt Lees, praying to be allowed to give evidence before the bar of their Lordship? House relative to a conspiracy %which was on foot for the overthrow of the Established Church in Ireland, and the separation of that country from Great Britain.—( Hear.) Although the petitioner was a little wild and hasty in his notions, he (Lord Roden) was aware that he had stated many things which had come to pass, and he agreed with the petitioner in believing that such a conspiracy did exist in Ireland. . . . 4. After one or two other petitions had been presented, their Lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, JuNE 19. The SPLAMER took the Chair at three o'clock. Colonel VERNER presented a petition from 1,400 land holders of the county of Belfast in favour of the Newry Road Bill. Sir M. S. STEWART brought up the Report of the Com mittee on the Clackmannan Railway Bill. . Lord J. STEWART brought up the Report on the Ayr Harbour Bill. Reports of the Committees upon various Private Bills were brought up by Sir W. Folkes, Sir G. Clerk, Sir R. Ferguson, Mr. Tooke, and other Hon. Members. Sir E. WILMOT presenteda petition from the magistrates, clergy, and other inhabitants of Birmingham, praying for a legislative enactment against drunkenness. AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS. Mr. PL UM PTRE presented a petition from the Agricultural Society of East Kent complaining of agricultural distress, and praying for some measures of relief. Also a petition from a parish in East Kent to the same effect. Sir E. KNATCHBULL supported the petition. He hoped some measure on the subject of tithes would shortly be brought forward, as the petitioners believed that it would afford them substantial relief. CHURCH CEREMONIES. Mr. PLUMPTRE then presented petitions from Margate and another place, complaining of the present mode of licens ing ; also a petition from four clergymen, who had been for merly officers in the British service, praying the House totake the case of the two officers of Artillery who had been dismis sed the service for refusing to assist at the Roman Catholic ceremonies at Malta, into consideration. The Hon. Member expressed his determination to bring forward a motion upon the subject, and take the sense of the House thereon. Mr. SHE IL said the case of the two officers alluded to had excited very strong sympathy, and he believed there was not a Roman Catholic Member in that House who did not sympa thise with them.—(Hear, hear.) The Roman Catholic soldiers had been exempted from attending any religious place of worship but their own, and he saw no reason why the Protestant soldiers should be placed in a worse position, or why the same privileges should not be extended to them. He hoped the Hon. Member would press his motion to a divi sion, and he was satisfied that the majority of the House would be with him.—( Hear.) Mr. R. C. FERGUSSON.begged to set the Hon. and Learned Member for Tipperary right. The officers had not been dismissed for refusing to assist at the Roman Catholic religious ceremonies, but for a direct breach of military duty. Mr. RUTHVEN rose to deprecate a discussion upon raj litary discipline, but The SPEAKER suggested the propriety of the Hon. Member refraining from any further remarks upon the subject, until it should be brought before the House in a regular form. STAMP DUTIES ON NEWSPAPERS. Sir W. COCKBURN presented a petition from the in. habitants of Wells, praying for the repeal of stamp-duties on newspapers, that they might have the benefit of cheap and good knowledge. Dr. BOWRING supported the petition, observing that this was a subject of consummate importance and general in terest at the present time. It was the duty of the House, when it made new laws, to make those laws known, and they could not sufficiently extend the knowledge of them. Many of those circumstances which they had cause to regret, and most of the grievances under which the labouring classes suffered, were to be attributed to the inaccessibleness of political know ledge. Mr. M'CANCE (we believe) presented a petition from Belfast, to the same affect. Mr. RUTHVEN supported it. DUTIES ON FOREIGN TIMBERS; UNITARIANS; injurious practice, and, generally speaking, it was so con sidered—for his part, he thought it also a- very unjust one. By the returns made to that House, it appeared that there were 356,434 persons employed in factories, and that 64,237 certifi cates had been granted up to February last. Thus the chil dren of Manchester had been taxed to the amount of 5201. is consequence of this charge. This he conceived was a very great evil, and ought to be done away with.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. M. PHILLIPS considered that the 'hatter complained of was a very great hardship on the poor people. He had never expected that the Bill would give satisfaction to the class of people for whom the House was then legislating, and he now regretted much that he had been so true a prophet. The House would surely think that the payment of the 6d. was in deed a hardship upon people whose average earnings did not amount to more than 3s. per week—it actually operated as a preventive on the poor children from going from one employ ment where work was scarce to that of another master. He was sorry that the petitioner had not pointed out some means whereby the money for the certificates might be drawn, in case the House should consider it necessary to retain that clause. The matter was well deserving the attention of the House. Mr. C. H ANDLE Y was also of opinion that the matter was well deserving of the interference of the House, because in many cases he thought the inspectors had far exceeded their duty.—( Hear, hear.) One of them, Mr. Richards, who was in the populous district of Man. chester, had laid down a rule, whereby he had ap pointed 150 surgeons, from whom only he would receive cer tificates. He had also made it imperative upon a boy or girl of sixteen years of age who changed thdir employment to produce a certificate ; and yet if, from any cause, they were within the month again to change, they must again produce a fresh certificate, which made such a patronage as the appointment of surgeons valuable. In his report that gentle man stated as his reason for always requiring fresh certificates, that the children were much in the habit of changing from one master to another, and he thought the tax would have the "affect of snaking them more steady ; but he (Mr. H.) doubted whether the Bill gave him any such powers. The other two inspectors had not made such a rule, but the House would be much surprised to find, from a return then on the table, that for certificates alone in those two districts the poor children within eleven months had paid 4,0001. In Manchester, where only 14,000 children were employed, not less than 5001. had been paid for certificates. The Hon. Member for Manchester regretted that a remedy had not been suggested ; but he (Mr. Handley) thought that repealing the Act of last Session would be a remedy.— ( Hear, hear, hear.) If some limitation was not fixed as to the age at which children should be employed in these factories, the relief the House was anxious to afford them would not be obtained. He had been told by a respectable manufacturer in Manchester, that even if a child was un der ten years' old, the surgeon would grant a certificate that the child was twelve, if the manufacturer said that the child would be useful to him. He was deter mined, when the estimate for the payment of the inspectors was brought forward, to oppose it until their Repbrts, which he had frequently moved for, were laid upon the table. Mr. AGLIONBY bore testimony to the respectability of the petitioners, and should most cordially support any mea sures of the Hon. Member opposite for the relief of the work ing classes. After a few words from an Hon. MEMBER, whose name we could not hear, the petition was laid on the table. Mr. Sergeant JACKSON presented a petition from D. Kelly, residing near Tralee, whose son had found a forged note, and for which he had been prosecuted, and sentenced to 14 years' transportation. The Hon. and Learned Member feared the House could not interfere, but he thought it his duty to pre sent it. The Hon. FOX MAULE said he should make inquiry into :he facts stated in the petition. MAYNOOTH COLLEGE. Mr. Sergeant JACKSON then presented a petition from several hundred inhabitants of Cork, praying that no further grant of public money might be allowed for Maynooth College. The petitioners complained that the interference of the Roman Catholic Clergy had done away with all freedom of election ; and that the Roman Catholics of Ireland were well able to support that establishment, as they paid in voluntary contribu tions to one man, more than would support the College twice over. Mr. O'DWYER said the interference of the Protestant Clergy at elections was much greater than that of the Roman Catholic Clergy. The latter had only moral influence, while the former had also their votes, which they invariably gave in support of principles obnoxious to the people of Ireland. Mr. SHAW denied that there was any comparison between the two bodies. The Roman Catholic Clergymen proposed and nominated candidates, and dragged the freeholders to the place of polling in a manner which, if it had been done by Protestant Clergymen, he ( Mr. S.) would consider most dis graceful.—( Hear. ) Mr. O'CONNELL took the liberty of saying, that the statements of the Right Hon. and Learned Gentlemen were totally false. It was true that Catholic clergymen had spoken at elections, and seconded the nomination of candidates ; for in stance, one of them seconded Mr. Vigors, a Protestant Member. Their speeches were printed and published, and it would be seen that they did not deserve the character given them by the correspondents of the Right Hon. Gentleman as to their existing violence. Were there not many persons ,in Ireland who would be ready, and were exceedingly anxious, for opportuni ties to prosecute them, if they said one word that could make them liable ?—( Hear.) But their protection was that they carefully avoided violating the law, while, as men and citizens, they exercised that right to which they were en titled. But, on the other hand, there was violence used against the Catholics by the Orange party, particularly in one county, for no other reason than because they were Catho lics. Was the Right Hon. Gentleman aware that almost all the Protestant Clergy interfered with elections ?—(" No, no," from Mr. Shaw and other Members.) The Hon. Members cried, " No, no," but would they tell him one place in Ireland where they did not? He would tell them of one where they did, and he could mention names, if he chose.—( Cries of " Name, name 1") Mr. Mahony, of Dromore. —( Hear ) But he utterly denied the charge against the Catholic clergy. Mr. SHAW would call the recollection of the House to a recent occasion on which the Hon. and Learned Member made ;he same assertion respecting other correspondence which he Mr. Shaw) had received. Mr. O'CONNELL would be glad to know to what case the Right Hon. and Learned Gentleman alluded? Mr. SHAW--To the case of Daniel Murphy.—( Hear. ) Mr. O'CONNELL—Oh lam glad you mentioned that, for there was not a single statement then made that was not contradicted by your own documents.—( Hear. ) Mr. SHAW—I leave that to the judgment of the House. Mr. O'CONNELL—So do Order, order.) Mr. RUTHVEN deprecated this discussion as wandering towards disorder.—( Hear.) Mr. CALLAGHAN took the opportunity of rescuing the place from which the petition came, from being chargeable in the gross with such sentiments. In fact, he had looked at the names, and found them to be those of persons who did not reside within several miles of Cork. The names of many respectable clergymen were attached to it, and no doubt they were de voted to the duties of their profession ; but the first name he saw was that of General Henry Barry, who was before a Committee of the House the other day, and whose name was struck off the list of voters for non-residence. There were a great many other names of the same description ; and if the Hon. Member had shown him the petition before he presented it, he would have given him that information privately which he now gave thus publicly. HAND-LOOM WEAVERS. General SHARPE presented a petition from the hand-loom weavers of Dumfries praying for relief. LICENSED VICTUALLERS. Sir J. Y. BULLER presented two petitions from places in Devonshire, complaining of the increased duty on spirit licenses. TITHE EXACTIONS. Captain PE CHE L L rose to present a petition from S. G. Pechell, a Captain in the Royal Navy, and a proprietor of land in Hampshire, complaining of the oppressive conduct of the Rev. Mr. Kemp, the Vicar of his parish, in putting him to great expense, by instituting a suit for tithes in the Court of Exchequer. He intreated the indulgence of the House for a few moments whilst he stated the facts of this case as brefly as he could. In 1826 the Rev. Mr. Kemp entered into this Vicarage, and found that a composition of 19/. Os. 9d. had been paid by the peti tioner—the real value of the tithe being about 71. Mr. Kemp gave noticethat this composition should cease, and that he would levy tithes. The petitioner feeling the value of keeping a good understanding with the clergyman, agreed to continue to pay the amount of the composition, though so much more than the value of the tithe. Mr. Kemp demanded an increase of 201. per cent., which was, of course, refused. The petitioner, still desirous of keeping up a good feeling, agreed to refer the matter to some arbitrator, to settle their differences. He did not wish by his remarks to cast any reflection upon the clergy as a body ; he hoped this case was singular, though he recollected that a case of a somewhat similar nature had been presented a few nights since. Mr. Kemp chose as arbitrator his own solicitor, and introduced him to the petitioner to settle the dis pute, in consequence of which he derived a benefit from the conversation, which was not intended for a professional man. Mr. Kemp immediately gave notice that he would claim the tithe of turnips generally. The petitioner required a specific demand to be made of the claim. The clergyman re fused to do this, and the consequence was, that lie claimed for 31. 65., and succeeded in proving only a third of his claim. This could be much better settled by an arbitrator, or before two ma gistrates; but Mr. Kemp chose to bring a suit into the Court of Exchequer, and he would shortly state what had been the consequence of that proceeding.—( Hear, hear.) The Hon. Member then referred to the proceedings in this case in the Court of Exchequer, and said that in his opinion the Lord Chief Baron ( L vndhurst).had mistaken the case. That Noble Lord had decided that the Rev. Mr. Kemp had a right to the tithes of turnips before the hurdles are placed, unless the sheep were allowed to graze over the whole field.—( Hear, hear, hear.) Now this was contrary to the feelings and opinions, as well as the practice, of the farmers of the County. We would not further detain the House than by stating that tie claim made by the clergyman was 31. 6s. ; a valuator said PRICE 7D. that 30s. was the utmost ; the costs of the clergyman were 238/. but reduced on taxation to 2071. 18s. sd. The petitioner's own bill amounted to 1101. los. ld., although the Coun sel for the petitioner, then the defendant, seeing the gross ness of the proceedings, actuaily acted gratuitously, and the solicitor who acted for him was actuated by the same motives, and made no other charge than for the costs out of pocket— ( Cheers and laughter.) The whole amount of costs incurred in the recovery of this sum of 3/. 6s. actually amount to 318/. Bs. 11d. The Gallant Member then moved that the petition be brought up. Mr. E STCOURT felt obliged to say, that he could not think that the case had been fairly stated. It was impos sible that the Reverend Gentleman would have ran the risk of expending upwards of 200/., for the purpose of recovering the trifling sum of 31. 65., if he could have gone before a Magis trate. The only object of the petition appeared to him to be, to show the hardship of the proceeding in the Court of Exche quer, and to lay before the House the fact ofthe Lord Chief Baron having taken a wrong view of the matter. If such was the ob ject of the petition, it was properly enough brought before the House.—•( Hear, hear, hear.) If such were really the intention, the House would take time to consider of the case before coming to a decision. He for one was inclined to be lieve in the law of the Lord Chief Baron, in preference to that of the Gallant Officer. He had no doubt but that the clergyman had been driven to take the course he had done. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that it seemed to him a very proper petition to bring before the House, in order to chew the state of the law of the land as it at present stood, and in order to induce the Legislature to alter it. He must protest, however, against that House being in any manner considered as a Court of appeal from any of the Courts in Westminster Hall. Though he differed from the opinions of the Noble Lord who decided the case, still he was eminent for his learning and impartiality ; and he had no doubt but the decree was made in strict conformity with the law of the land.—(Hear.) In fact, the Gallant Officer had stated that the decision was founded upon other decisions of 150 years ago—it was to bet borne in mind, that during that time there had been no alteration in the law, and the Learned Baron was bound to take the law as he found it. Mr. HUME did not understand the petition to be brought forward in the nature of an appeal at all, but for the purpose of showing the absolute necessity for a change in the law, which as it now stood obliged a party to incur an ex pense of near 4001. in the recovery of a paltry sum of 31. 6s. It was all, too, for the support of the Church. —( Hear, hear, and cries of " No, no.") Would any one say that tithes were to be appropriated to other than Church purposes ? This suit was for the purpose of reco vering tithes—therefore, for the support of the Church, which, in consequence of these iniquitous suits, had become a curse to the country. He trusted that the Ministry would not allow an hour to pass which they could possibly avoid, before bringing in an alteration in the law in that respect. Sir ROBERT INGL IS said a few words which were to tally inaudible in the Gallery. Mr. GILL ON considered the petition properly brought for ward for the purpose of calling the attention of the House to the nature of these proceedings. The clergyman in this case demanded the tithes of turnips, when he was perfectly sure of getting his tithes of the sheep which were to be fed off them, and of the corn to be grown on the land. According to the report of the Hon. and Gallant Member lawyers were about to loose their distinctive appellation. The rapacity which usually attached t" them had in this case gone over to the clergy. Lord S AND ON did not consider it fair for Hon. Members to bring forward such gross charges, and stigmatize the con duct of parties who could have no opportunity of defending themselves in that House. Upon the very face of this case, it was clear that the other party would have something to say upon the matter, for it was impossible to believe that, for the recovery of 31. 6s. he would have willingly gone into an ex pense of upwards of 2001. PLURALITY OF VOTING. Mr. A. CHAPMAN presented a petition from Whitby against beer and spirit shops. And one from the same place, against the Repeal of Sturges Bourne's Act. Mr. HUME said that Sturges Bourne's Act, instead of taking away the rights of the people, would destroy the plu rality of voting, which was an unfair monopoly. Colonel E VANS said Sturges Bourne's Act was so ob noxious, that wherever it was introduced, a perpetual feud had been the consequence. Mr. GOULBURN was surprised that the Hon. Member for Middlesex should oppose plurality of voting, after support ing a similar clause in the Poor Law Hear. ) Mr. HUME assured the Hon. Member that he entered his solemn protest against that clause, as inconsistent with the whole Bill. A message from the Lords announced that their Lordships had agreed to several bills, for which see Lord's Report. CORPORATION REFORM. Lord STANLEY gave notice that upon the House going into Committee on the Municipal Corporation Re form Bill, he should move an amendment to obviate the frequency of elections of councilmen, and also some verbal amendments which he did not think the Government would oppose, as they were intended to render the working of the Bill more effective. Mr. C. BULLE R gave notice that he should move an amendment, to the effect that all elections of common council men should be annual.---( Hear, hear.) Mr. GROTE gave notice that he should move an amend ment that it should be competent for any municipal corporation to direct the votes of the qualified rate-payers at all such elec tions to be taken by ballot.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. GOULBURN, on the part of the Right Hon. Baronet, the Member for Tamworth, gave notice that he ( Sir R. Peel) would move as an amendment, to the 6th clause of the Corporation Reform Bill, that the payment of rates should be as necessary for the qualification of electors under this Act as under the Reform Act. Sir R. INGLIS gave notice that he would move that the new Bill should not come into operation in any burgess till it had been accepted by an absolute majority of the same.— (Great laughter on the Ministerial side of the House.) AFFAIRS OF TANJORE. Mr. SHELL renewed the notice he had formerly given respecting the Commission appointed to inquire into the affairs of the late Rajah of Tanjore, for Tuesday next. Mr. FINN moved for certain Returns respecting the Courts of Petty Sessions in Ireland, which was ordered. AND THE SCOTCH CHURCH. Dr. BOWRING presented a petition from a large body of his constituents with whom, however, he did not concur, for the repeal of the differential duties on foreign timber. Also another from the Unitarian Dissenters of Bath, com plaining of certain clauses in the Dissenters' Marriage Bill, particularly those that draw a distinction between the position of the Dissenters and the members of the Established Church. And also a petition from the town of Port Glasgow, against the grant to the Scotch Church. As he might not have an opportunity of saying anything during the discussion of that question in the House, he would take the liberty of saying that the majority of his constituents were opposed to the grant. In the town of Kilmarnock, a public meeting was held, and it was determined to have the whole of the electors, canvassed, and he had received a return from the Provost, from which it appeared that the result proved that there was a majority of 13 opposed to the grant. That was not a very great majmity certainly, but he was aware that a still greater majority of the non-electors of the boroughs which he repre sented were of the same opinion. This had been ascertained at several public meetings. Mr. GIL LON presented a petition from a congregation of his own constituents against the grant. Many statements had gone abroad respecting the great preponderance of feeling in Scotland in favour of the grant ; but he hesitated not to say, that three-fourths of the population were against it. TIMBER DUTIES. Mr. BINGHAM presented a petition from the great,body of shipowners and others of Newcastle, praying that the House would not allow any alteration to be made in the timber duties. The petitioners expressed their conviction that, any change that should transfer the trade in timber from the Colonies to the Baltic, would be in its consequences ruinous to the shipping of this country. As there was a Committee sitting upon this subject it would be unbecoming in him to an ticipate what the result of their enquiry would be. He would merely express his confidence that the enquiry, if compre hensively carried on, would be satisfactory to the country.— Petition referred to the Committee. FACTORY BILL. Mr. BROTHERTON rose to present a petition from an individual of the name of James Turner, residing, at Man chester, complaining of certain practices connected with the Factory Bill, and which he was confident, when in formed of them, the House would be of opinion ought to be dispensed with. It would be in the recollection of the House that an Act had passed two years ago for regu. lating the labour of children in factories. That Act required that no children under eleven years of ago should be employed in factories, without producing the certificate of a surgeon to prove that they were of a proper age. The surgeons, it ap peared, were empowered under the Act to charge sixpence for each certificate they gave. A practice had obtained of requiring the children to produce certificates every time they changed their employers. This he conceived to be a very IMPORTATION OF CORN. Mr. P. THOMPSON, in answer to a question from an Hon. Member, said that a Bill to prevent the illegal importa tion of corn from the islands of Man, Jersey, and Guernsey, was now ready, and would be introduced into that House as soon as possible. THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. Mr. GILL ON asked the Lord Advocate what legal autho rity the General Assembly of Scotland had to suspend on a lawful working day the industrious pursuits of the labour ing classes ?—( Cries of " Hear, hear.) He asked this question, therefore, in consequence of the General Assembly having appointed July 3d as a fast-day in Scotland. The LORD ADVOCATE supposed the authority of the General Assembly arose out of its spiritual character, and that it was considered to be altogether indisputable. The Report of the Committee of Public Instruction was brought up, which upon the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL was ordered to be printed. Some conversation took place between Lord J. Russell and Sir William Rae, which was carried on in so low a tone as to be almost inaudible in the gallery. It was as to which would be the most convenient night for taking up the motion of the Hon. Member for Cupar, which was dropped on account of the House being counted out. It was understood that Sir Wu. RAE fixed that he would bring it forward on Monday week. Mr. HUME asked if the return of the revenues of the Irish Church was yet prepared. Lord JOHN RUSSELL replied that it was in prepara tion, and would be laid on the table on Monday. Lord SANDON wished to know whether the evidence would be printed at length ? Lord JOHN RUSSELL thought a fair abstract would lit sufficient. Mr. HUME begged to ask the Noble Lord opposite, whether Col. Lindsey had been appointed to the command of a Scotch Regiment of Militia? He was anxious upon this point, because he believed Col. Lindsey was a most violent op poser of liberal measures, and an opponent of the present Go vernment, and he thought it inconsistent with sound policy to make such an appointment. Lord JOHN RUSSELL had recommended the appoint ment of Colonel Lindsey, and it had received his Majesty's approval._( Loud cries of " Hear" from the opposition.) The NOBLE Loan then moved the Order of the Day for the House going into Supply.—( There were loud cries for " Mr. Duncombe," which were followed by loud cries for " Mr. Buxton," and " Chair, chair.") The SPEAKER called upon Mr. Duncombe. FOREIGN POLICY. Mr. DUNCOMBE in moving for the production of papers of which, he had given notice, begged to observe that there was no instance to be found in the parliamentary history of that country, in which its foreign policy had been so much disregarded as during the present Session. It was therefore that he wished to call the attention of the House to it, satisfied as he was, that in the present alarming and critical state of Spain, a construction might be put upon their silence, neither creditable to themselves nor just towards other countries. He regretted that he did not sec the Noble Lord at the head of the popular party in his place—( A laugh)—because if there was one branch more than another of policy which had recom mended him to public approbation, it was his conduct and speeches on the affairs of the Peninsula.—( Hear, hear.) Let them sec in what situation the mission placed them—look ing at the effects of it, there was nothing so likely to pro mote the interests of an usurper. By the Quadripartite Treaty of last August, whereby Spain and Portugal jointly engaged to clear their respective countries from the rebels— France and England engaging to supply arms, &c., that treaty had been called an atrocious treaty—merely, he supposed, be cause, if faithfully and honourably carried into effect, it would put an immediate end to the hopes of Don ./. L os a d his friends fou in n t c l i ais o o m u m nt i t s y sioner Y s et, tre i a n ti t n he w fa i % a; jai they as e'„ ten a - rebel. g The onl r s act was, _give _a_ moral countenance and support the e of thes- reher and of course to continue that bloodshed which it pro- fassed to put an end to.—( Hear, hear, hear.) +Io had many years' acquaintance with both Lord Eliot and Colonel Gurwood. In their private life he admired and re spected them, but as the agents of a Government in whose foreign policy he could not agree, he feared them, and could niot put confidence in them. He (Mr. Dunconabe) found-it If as . asserted in the convention, that it was its object to prevent the loss of life. Now, he had often heard an autho rity quoted in that House which met with respect and atten don, and in the present instance he should cite it against Don Carlos. Vattel, in his work on the Law of Nations, then speaking of r e b e lli on an d un j us t law, attributes a ll th e ils of rapi ne an d bl oo d s h e d t h at ensue i n c i v il te a r to the surper wh o provo k es i t , an d ca ll s t h em " hi s wor k s; hi s rimes." But this treaty made no distinction between the Soldiers who adhered to the cause of loyalty, ana those in fa four of rebellion. But this was done on the plea of humanity. Where was the humanity of the Government who dreamt of no Convention when Poland was devastated ? The convention signed by the belligerents in Spain, expressly stated that no soldier shall be executed on either side, but according to the Spanish law. He should like to have seen a convention insti gated by English Commissioners dictating to the Autocrat of Russia, on the plea of humanity, that no Polish soldier should be shot or exiled, until first tried and convicted by Polish law. Where was this sympathy with the cause of humanity on the part of a Tory Government, when Torrejos and his brave companions were murdered? Judging by the reports of those uncontradicted conversations, alleged to have taken place be tween Louis Philippe and the English Commissioners, the King of the French spoke in terms highly complimentary of Don Carlos. He should like to hear this explained away. He could not doubt the sincerity of the King of the French, but at the same time such language was not in accordance with the spirit of the Quadripartite Treaty. It was notorious too, that arms had been sent from this country for the support of the Carlist cause. As also, that it had the assistance of the Neapolitan Government. The subject was looked upon with great interest out of doors, and if the House of Commons instead of constantly wrangling and debating, would declare its opinions of the righteous nature of the constitutional cause; it would cut from under it all the support now afforded to the side of the rebels. Europe was attentively looking on, while the liberties of Spain were trembling in the balance ; and if the House of Commons would but speak out and repudiate the opinion of their giving countenance to the Carlista, the scale would soon be turned ; and, in spite of the treachery of domestic foes, Spain would yet recover her liberties. In moving for these papers he did not wish to compel the . pro duction of any, the communicating of which would obstruct impending negociations, but merely such authentic and official information as would convince the country that the national honour had been fully and faithfully maintained. The Hon. Member concluded by moving, " That an humble address be presented to his Majesty, that a copy be produced of the 'in structions given to Lord Eliot and Colonel Gurwood- upon their late mission to Spain; together with copies of all reports and communications made to the British Government hythose Commissioners ; and also, for a copy of any convention . for the exchange of prisoners proposed by Lord Eliot, and signed by the Commander-in-Chief of the armies in the provinces of Guipuscoa, Alava, Biscay, and the kingdom of Navarre.'" On the question being put, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, as we understood, commenced by apologizing for the absence of the Noble Lord at the head of the Foreign Department, who had been summoned to at tend upon his Majesty at Windsor. He (Lord John Russell) should have had no objection to the production of the papers moved for by the Hon. Member for Finsbury, if he could be convinced that it would be no injury to the service of his Ma jesty. He thought, however, it would ; and, in addition to its being unusual and inconvenient, it was establishing a bad pre cedent. He could not concur in all the observations of his Hon. Friend. The contest in Spain had been carried on with great animosity on both sides; and it was a struggle in the conclusion of which his Majesty felt a great interest. Feeling that interest, his Majesty, under the advice of the Administra- tion of which the Duke of Wellington was a member, had issued a Commission, with a view to put a stop to the elusion of blood. Before sitting down he thought it proper to ob. serve that the Duke of Wellington, while at the head of the Foreign-office, most fairly fulfilled all those stipulations of the Quadripartite Treaty entered into by England, France, Spais,• and Portugal, and he could not, therefore, concur in the ob servations of his Hon. Friend. The Noble Lord concluded by regretting that he must oppose the motion for the produc- ti - on of the papers. Dr. BO WRING said he should be the last person in that House to urge the production of papers calculated to be detri mental to the service of the country. He was sure, however, that the people of Spain looked with great anxiety to any ex pression of feeling which might emanate from that House. Any demonstration of friendly feeling from this country would assist that nation in its struggle for emancipation. He would not have spoken on this subject but for the interest he felt in the fate of a country with which many of his associations of early life were connected. He considered Spain a country possessed of the elements of greatness, requiring only the slightest interference on the part of the English nation to bring out all its dormant sympathies. No one knew bow much this country was looked to by the friends of freedom, the friends of the cause of Reform, and the general cause of liberty throughout the world. The name of Don Carlos—so we understood the Hon. Gentleman to say—was associated by the people with popular institutions; and the Government of the 'Queen had unfortunately perinea their cause from a want of liberality. If the Spanish Government did what they ought to do there was no danger for their cause. No country in the world was more calculated for popular institutions, and the time might again arrive when Spain would be as great as at those periods of her history with which every thing exalted was associated. Lord MAHON regretted the absence, unavoidable though it was, of the Noble Lord at the head of the Foreign Depart ment. Of course the Noble Lord could not have done other wise than obey the summons of his Majesty ; yet it would have been better if circumstances could have permitted him to be in his place. As far as he (Lord Mahon) was personally concerned, he could not but express his regret that the Noble Lord had thought it his duty to refuse the production of the papers ; but as he thought that such production would tend to the establishment of a bad precedent, he (Lord Mahon) should yield at once. He had the authority of the Duke of Wellington for expressly stating, that, as far as his own feelings and wishes were concerned, he was not only willing but desirous that all the papers should be produced connected with the subject, including the instructions originally given to Lord Eliot, the despatches from Lord Eliot, and the previous correspondence with the Court at Madrid. Every thing that could, however remotely, affect or bear upon the subject, the Noble Duke had authorized him to say, he was not only willing but anxious should be produced. Of course he was not autho rized to press, for them if their production would be detri mental to the public service ; but if they were produced they would clearly demonstrate how unjust were the attacks made both in and out of that House. If ever there was a transac. tion founded on motives of pure justice and humanity, and and more relieved than another from any thing approaching to the sordid or mean, it was the convention so skillfully framed by the Duke of Wellington, and so ably carried into execution by Lord Eliot. The present Government and the country were extremely indebted to Lord Eliot for his services, and he had no doubt, would receive further benefit. Had the re turns moved for, been granted the Hon. Member for Finsbury would have been made acquainted with the barbarity which disgraced both sides in this civil war. Prisoners on both sides had been cruelly put to death. Had the Hon. Mem ber (Mr. Duncombe) been more fully informed upon the subject, he would have been the last to oppose any plan likely to mitigate such a system of atrocity. Had he only seen passages in the letters of Lord Eliot and Colonel Gurwood it would have been sufficient to have convinced him. On the very evening that Lord Eliot arrived at the head-quarter; of General Zumalacarregui no less than from twelve to fif teenprisoners were to be executed the next morning. Lor ,. .P - Eliot, although not then acknowledged in his official capaeif as Commissioner, interceded, and interceded with success... ( Hear, hear.) The prisoners expressed their joy and thar' to their deliverer Lord Eliot. Liad these facts been kno• the Hon. Gentleman, he had no doubt, would have beer a different opinion as to the motives of the policy of the Government. The late Government had been actuated o by a feeling of humanity, and a desire that the barbarity civil war always inclined to be extreme—should not be ag gravated, and perhaps at last become a precedent for a similar conduct in other countries. The Hon. Member had stated that the mission of Lord Eliot was inimical to the present Govern ment of Spain. In the object of that mission General Alava (the Spanish Ambassador) fully concurred; and that eminent statesman Senor Martinez de la Rosa in the Chamber of Pro- curadores expressed his unqualified admiration and gratitude for the scrupulous fidelity in all official conduct of the Duke of Wellington—( Hear)—and did the strict and honourable fulfilment of the treaties entered into by • the Government which preceded that of his Right Hon. Friend the Member for Taanworth and the Duke of Wellington. This declaration was made by the Senor Martinez de la Rosa, after the Duke of Wellington had resigned, and in answer to an attack made by one of the Members of the Chamber. Therefore it was no mere complimentary statement, influenced by a suspicious motives. He could also safer to other letters and papers to testify to the impartiality of the Duke -of Wellington, and the good resulting from issuing the Commission. He appealed to 'the letter written by Erazo (second in command to Zuma lacarregui in Navarre), by which it appeared that 500 of the Queen's soldiers and 100 of the civic guard, had, since the convention came into operation, been spared the fate which befel their fellow prisoners, whilst, during the same period, not ono Carlist had been found in similar circumstances. Thus 600 Constitutionalists had been saved through its instrunr.eat ality, where not one of its enemies needed its protection. He lelt fully assured that all the authorities on the side of the constitutional Government of Spain were perfectly satisfied with the arrangement; and unless the Reuse could believe that the Hon. Member for Finsbury had its interest more deeply at heart than the Queen of Spain, was more zealous in its cause than her Ministry at Madrid, or more faithful and active in her service than her Ambassador in London (who had ail expressed their perfect acquiescence in the convention) he was sure it would not adopt the construction . the Hon. Gen tleman had alone endeavoured to put on it.—( Hear.) He would only recal the attention of the House to one incident which took place during the arrangement of the preliminaries to that convention, to establish the fact of the conciliatory princi ple on which the whole undertaking was carried on and accom plished. He alluded to the suggestion of Gen. Valdez relative to the change of form in the negotiation from that of astipulation to a convention. The public were already in *session of THE HON. MRS.
