',~: FOREIGN INTELLIGENCEr • FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France of March 6.) ' CONSTANTINOPLE, FEB. '4.—The measures adopted for some days past, prove that the Sultan and' his Ministers no longer show any moderation, nor listen to the counsels of reason. ~, At - Constantinopl e an d at hmyrna the local authorities q - continue to give orders to embark the most considerable Europeans on board ship, which are ready to convey them to the Archipelago. No more firmans are given to pass, the Bosphorus, and the intercourse with Odessa is entiory . interrupted. It is easy-to foresee what effect thisineasure will have on the Southern provinces of Itnisia; and the imminent ruin of rnany houses... • The Armenians continue to be tke, objects of the most cruel peisecutions, and prefer going into banishment to purchasing the protection of the Patriarch' by renouncing their faith. The Porte appears no longer to make a secret of its intention to send away all the Christians. The Envoys are continually employed in distributing relief to the victims, which is the only kind of assistance that the Porte permits to be affoided The hellth of M. d'Ottenfels,, which has been for some time weak, gives no reason to hope any improvement under the present circumstances. His sufferings have consider ably increased, and we fear that he will be obliged,' on this account, to quit his-post. Nis departure would cause a general regret at Pera, and the Franks would low in him their firmest support. . It was feared also, that if the Porte does not return to a more moderate system, many of the , Colleagues of M. d'Ottenfels will also quit Constantinople. It is said that all the Ministers residing here have given their Courts an exact description of their present situation, and asked for fresh instructions, that they may not be ex posed to remain in a position contrary to the dignity of their Sovereigns. The Porte has refused hitherto to ratify the Treaty for the navigation of the Black Sea, concluded with _Spain and Napl es , th oug h th e ratification of Spain has, alredy , been received, and that of Naples is every moment expeeted.—Avgsburgh Gazette. (FROM A PRIVATE LETTER OF THE 4TH.) The rigorous measures continue to excite general alarm. The Armenian Patriarch, terrified by the acts of violence exercised towards the Armenian Catholics, and fearing they might be extended also to himself, has at length resolved to apply to the Kiaja Bey, to obtain some modifications in favour of those who have remained in the capital ; but the Sultan will not hear of any modifications, ald has ordered, on the contrary, *the strict execution of th 4 Hatti Seheriff. It is hoped, nevertheless, that by the .mediation of the Austrian Inteio, the farther confise i ticaf the pro. perty of the 4enian Catholics will be suspended ; and the inote.so, as the Divan persists in he eying that these meastims are not founded on motives of religion but of po licy, being taken in consequence of the distrust excited by theinatunac4 of Russia over the Armenians. It is pre tended, however, that the Sultan will in the end listen to the representations of the Patriarch in favour of the :ichis .matic Armenians who are at Constantinople. The Ministers at Pens are also apprehensive for their. safety l and have freighted European merchantmen to take them on .board with their families. --Similar fears. prevail at Smyrna,.,and add to the uneasiness of the Christians. VIEANA, EYE. 25.—1 t is aaid that at the beginning of May next, the combined squadrons will assemble in the Archipelago. VIENNA, FEB. £G.—(By Express.)—M. de Canity has just set- out fur Constantinople. It is to be observed that lie did not come from Petersburg'', but from Berlin; that lie has not seen Prince Metternich, and did not leave Vienna till after the conference which RI. de Bulow, the Prussian Minister, had with Prince Metternich. It is thought that he is the bearer of the Russian Ultimatum to the Porte. PARS, MARCH s.—The departure for the Morea of several regiments of infantry and cavalry, commtuided by General Loverdo, a Greek by origin, is announced. On the other hand it is stated, that preparations for defence are Asking at Constantinople. What We can ailltm le, that the 'most complete :union prevaiisbetweeo the three Powers, parties in the Treaty of London ; and that the other two PoWers will act in con cert with Russia, England, and France. The Minister for Fdreign Affairs is togive this assurance in the Secret Com mittee of the Charaberi. (From the Journal des Debuts.) When, in the 13th 'and 14th centuries, our Kings gave tit the Cities so many rights of enfranchisement, were they referred to • the Bishop or the Chatelain? No; they de liberated allont them with : the Magistrates and other Wor thy (Citizen:. Ought less; then, to be done in °this age of intellect and dkcussion? The city of Paris raises 45 millions for its Budget, and has a Municipal Council which represents its interests. The late Minister, with whom reason was a sin, selected from this Council two men of .experience, two rich and upeful Citizens , honOured with the public esteem—Messrs. Delessert sad Ternaux. .Why has not M. de Martignac restored thew . Gentlemen? Does he fear their independence, even when applied to theories? A municipal system rannot be formed without touching on serious questions appertaining to political orde r; with out considering the subjects of presentation and election ; without determining what part the, Royal Authority should keep—what part it should give up to free choice and local influence. These reflections were written when we received the Moniteur of this day, whioh contains the fol lowing Ordinances, under the date of Iviaroh. The first three are countersigned Portalis, and the last Mattignac. " Charles, &c. -" AL the Baron Hyde de Neuville, a Member of the char t - 1 ,1.er of Deputies, is appointed Secretary of State for • the Mare and the Colonies. " Charles, &c. • "M.

France will then see a Sen sible progress in the march of opinion, and will be glad to rind. those men called into power, whose courageous Co_ operation will be incompatible with these dilatory and timid measures whi4h have only appeared to promise a re -464, by indefinitely adjourning the application of it.

Halifax Papers tO,the 10th, and St. John's (New Bruns wick), to the Ist ult., have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. By them it appears that his Excellency Lieutenant-General Sir James Kempt, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of his Ma jesty's Province of Nova Scotia and its dependencies, was waited upon by the Council with an Address expressive of their hest thanks to him for the happy accounts of the state of that Province, in his speech at the opening of the Session,in which the Revenue is stated to be'so pro ductive , 3 to enable them to diminish the floating and funded debt of the Province. The Address then goes• on to state that the steady improvement of agriculture, and the rapid extension of commerce, afford the highest satisfaCtion, blended as they are witty the liberal policy that has enkrged the field of commercial enterprise. A regret is expressed that the fisheries are still inadequate to furnish the requisite ex ports, and that large sums might, be beneficially expended within the province in rewarding the industry of the in habitants, who are annually sent out to ,procure diese staple articles, to the injury of the fishermen;the farmers; and merchants of the Colony. The general establishment of schools for the instruction of youth, the progress made in the Shubenacadir Canal, the increasing" mining establishments, are then mentioned, as showino., that the resources of the provi nc e a r e d a ily d eve l o pin g t hat gradual course. A very handsome testimony is then paid to his Excellency; for the satisfactory report of the state of the Militia,.andits effective state, in case th e constitutional force should at any time be called upon ; and this gratifying address is closed with expressions of the sincere joy it gives the parties to add their testimony to this correct pic ture, which is dated Feb. 2, 1829. To this an appro priate.and modest, hut short reply, was made by the Go vernor. A similar Address, couched in the same gratify ing terms, was also presented by the Members of the House of Assembly, and a reply expressive of the gratification Sir James Kempt felt that his public duties have met his Ma jesty's most. gracious approbation, as well as the apprecia tion of that How: The ChaMber of Comtherce have published an able but long Report, which is extremely in teresting; and a Bill has been introduced into the House of Assembly for the-improvement of the salmon fishery, and curing and pickling the same. The Mali fax Journal of the 4th of ,February says, we never read with so much pleasure any speech delivered at the opening of our Legislature, as that of his Excellency on the present occasion ; it presents a no less pleasing than trite picture of the rapid advances of this colony, in com merce, agriculture, and other important objects; a con-. siderable diminution in the funded debt of the province, a large increase of its Revenue, both in the Customs and Excise departmente l the improvement of fhe public roads, with the high sense of a loyal, well diflposed, and hippy population, aV subjects of deep and serious congratulation, and make us value more dearly the, Government under which we live, a state which we seriously hope may not be disturbed by any petty cavilling with the parent country, from whose protecting care we derive the principal source of our happiness and prosperity. IMPERIAL PARLIAIVIENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, MARCH 7. In the absence of the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Eldon sat on the Woolsack this morning, and heard appeals. The Earl of Rosebary took the oaths and his seat as au English Baron. The Duke of Norfolk attended, for the first time, as Earl Marshal. The Earl of ESSEX presented a wtition from Leomins ter, for the Repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts. Similar petitions were presented by Lortl Cawdor, from PrestOn ; by Lord Rosebery, from , Gloucester ; by Lord Mere, from Stafford, Sudbury, , Somerset, Hertford,, and different others places ; 41 by Lord Delawarr, from Cambridge." The'Bishop of BATH and WELLS presented a petition, from the. Archdeacon ancigeriy of that Diocese ,against further concessions to the Roman Catholics. The petition, was read at length in the motion of the Lord BishOp, „and kid an the table. Lord GREY presented a petition from the independent Chapel at Hackney, for the repeal of the Test and Corpo ration Acts. Mi. Scott, from the Chamberlain's Office, presented an account of the expenses of that Office. • • LordWiIARNCIIFEE said that during the last Session of Parliament he had moved that an Address, be presented to his Majesty, for the appointment of a Committee to en quire into the supply of water for the Metropolis. thought the Noble_ Lord, opposite might be able to give the Ilouse some information on the subject. • • The Marquis of LANSDOWNE'said, that •a commis sion had been appointed, but that some difficulties arose as to the amount of compensation, but that difficulty having been overcome, the enquiry was going on. CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION. The Marquis of . LONDONDERRY again pointed their Lordships' attention to the conduct of the Catholic Associa tion as reported in th&l4l papers. A Noble Lord opposite, it was stated, had authorised .a member of the Association to make some statements in his name. He deprecated measures of this kind, which was making the Ro man Catholic Association a channel of communication With the Irish Catholics.. These political demagogues as sumed 'a more dangerous character, when they made use of the authority of Members of that House, and professed to state their sentiments. Lie wished particularly to call the attention of their Lordships to a letter read in the Catholic Association from a Noble Lord not in that House. Amongst other things, the letter stated that Lord Lansdowne Lord Carlisle, and Mr. Tierney would have brought on the Catholi, ! : Question, had they remained in power. But the Ca tholics were recommended not to place any reliance on the present Cher:lntent, for that as at present constituted, it was worse even than the Government of Lord I,iverpool. De clarations of this kind, clothed the AsSociation in an au thority which they otherwise could net have. To that letter he begged to call the attention of the. House, and would first read it. It was as follows :-- Dear Sir—l am anxious before your next meeting, Feb. 12, 1828, to write to you on a subject which. is much misrepresented, and which, I think, it is due both to' Lord Lansdowne and the Catholics of Ireland, should be placed in a right point of vim._ It has been asserted in Parliament, and industriously put about inprivate, that if. Ilie . change had not taken place, the Catholic QuPation would again have been postponed. • • [took the liberty of troubling you on this subject, for tunately before any change was contemplated. For the Catholics you can answer yourself, that they would not be so unmindful of their own wrongs as to give way, to any Administration whatever, the constant assertion of the in justice that is done to them. for Lord Lansdowne, Mr. Tierney, and Lord Carlisle, I am prepared to assure you now; as I (lid on a former oc casion, that they and their friends were most anxious the question should he brought on, and that it would have had, .as it always has had, all the support that, as individuals, they could have given it. For this opinion, J can have no abjection now, or at any other time, to have my name used. On the formation of the late Government, 1 thought it my duty, us an Irishman, to give such advice to my Catholic countrymen, as I thought most to their interest to pursue. I thought the agitation of that (*tion at that moment, proposed as it was attempted t° l, ollone, by the bitterest opponents of the Catholics, would have*lnbarrassed the formation of the Government, and I recommended a postponement of the question—but you will do me the justice to remember, that I stated distinctly then, that it was only for that moment, and, indeed, if I could have proposed any thing further, I must have been insane, to suppose that the Catholic people of Ireland would ever consent to so disgraceful a proposition. I will, however, say no more On this subjeit, leaving to you, if von think fit, to set it right, and I Ally think it due both ----'- ~':`~'' to Lortriansdowne and the Catholics, that it should be htly understood. The present posture of affairs is a hopeless one, as I really think the Government, as at present constituted, al most worse than that of. Lord Liverpool. Mr. Lamb, in deed, has the beetiiitentions towards Ireland,and LordAngle sea goes with the same intentions ; but what can be hoped from them, orlii p such Government, after Mr. Peers speech last year, he which he took to the Home Secretary the com plete controul of Ireland. I approve entirely of your re solution Shout - Trish Metibeiv—l mean the spirit of it, and 'with the frankness with which I have alWays given yon my opinion, I will take the liberty of saying, I do not approve of your declaring all 'enemies to Ireland. I wish all the counties in Ireland could be prevailed upon to feel this, and instruct their Members,that it is idle to support a Govern ment to keep their places, and vote againit them only on one question. On the subject, Mr. Brownlow's speech last week was admirable, and I only wish I could bear the same sentiments expressed by every Irish Member. I should then have better hopes of Ireland. I ought, really, to make many apologies for the length of this letter, which I hope you will excuse, and believe me, Your faithful humble servant, (Signed) DUNGANNON. A speech of Mr. O'Connell'a followed the-letter alluded to, in which some observations weremade on the Marquis of Anglesea; 'and 'some personalities thrown out against himself which he of course treated with the contempt they deserved, coming from' such a quarter. It was said the Marquie of Anglesea regretted' some hasty expressions he had used against the Catholics ; but he (elle Marquis of Lon donderry) was convinced the Marquis of Anglesea never eu thorised such statements to be made in the Catholic Associa tion. If he could unmask the posture in which those mis chievous spirits stood, who were trying to govern Ireland, he thought he should be doing a great benefit to that country. Lord CLIFDEN, after the speech of the Noble Mar quis, felt it his duty to trouble the House with a few words—first, as to himself, be would say that he never authorised the gentlemae alluded to, to fnake the state went which it appeared he 'had been described as having --Made. Perini* there had been a mistake in the report of that gentleman's speech. Reporters certainly did re port wenderfnlly well, - but of course they were sometimes liable- to commit errors: So much for himself then. He would now refer -to that Catholic Association to which the Noble Marquis had so severely alluded. It was now thirty-five years since Asspciations amongst the Catholics had been carried on in some shape or other, for the purpose of petitioning Parliament for those rights to which the Catholics conceived themselves entitled. Fronv4793, when an Act was passed to putalown the Conventibn—and such an Act as would have actually pre vented the two Houses of Parliament from meeting, if they had -not been especially exempted from its operations—.' down to the present time, various laws had been passed for the suppression of such assemblies, but they had produced no 'effect whatever. The present . Association rose a few years since, and their Lordships might rely upon it, with all their united force, they could never put it &nen. He assured their Lordships that he was not friendly to the course pursued by the Association, and deeply lamented the intemperance so repeatedlybetrayed by its memhers . It was a fact, , however, that as much party . spirit had been manifested upon many occasions by the Pro testants, as had ever been shewn by the Catholics— And it must be confessed, that there was some excuse to be made for the complaints which were continually making- by one party,. although tittered in a tone too violent--but no such excuse could be, made for the other for the violent feelings which they had from time to time betrayed, be cause they had no grievance to complain of. The refusal on the part-of the Government to grant Catholics an equali zation of those civil rights which every British subject ought to enjoy, was the primary cause of the Association, and an attempt now to put a stop to its formidable ad vancement, would be indeed a fruitless effort ; they might drive them, to be sure, from their present retreats, and force them to hold their meetings even in cellars ; but yet they would meet in spite of attempts to prevent them, until the grand question was set at rest, until both Islands, be 7 came identified vith each other. In short, the only way to put down the Catholic Association was to grant Eman cipation. . - The MarqUis et LANSDOWNE said that he had never authorized any communication to be made in his name to the Catholic Association. He thought it most unwise to debate on the speeches made at the Association, which should be disregarded in that House. He slid not mean to defend the Catholic Arsociation, b u t i n justice to. the statement, that lie 'and some Noble Friends intended to have brought forward the Catholic Question had they stop ped in office, he felt himself bound to state that he had made such a declaration with a view to contradict a state ment to a contrary effect, made at a public meeting in Ireland. If called upon to say when he would bring the great,motion forward, his answer would be, that he would give due notice of such an event. When he did . so it would be, not because required so to do by the Catholic Association, or even by the Catholics of Ireland, but be cause of his impression as to its effect, not only upon the Catholics, but upon the empire at large. That Association,, although composed of great talent, was certainly wanting in discretion, and certainly deficient as to the mode by which they should bring that great talent to bear upon their interests.. -He :„.had-rnade no inquiries . of them, be cause he did not think them qualified to act, nor would he deal with any body of men, except for the well-being of the whole empire. He was far froni - wishing that the Catho e liei'keoeietion had power; lie wished, indeed, ~,thatetheyv bad. not the power of irritating, as they had irritated, by langfirtge far from being dignified or wise, He would, however, treat such language,. used under such circum stances, with total disregard, rather than give it import ance by making it the subject of discussions in 'that House. Lord RODEN expressed a hope that the interference of his Majesty's Ministers would put down that abominable nuisance, the Roman Catholic Association. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY had referred, not to the declarations made, or to the speeches delivered, but to the letter Written to a notorious member of the Catholic As sociation by a . : Noble Lord who sat in- the Other House of Parliament i ---At six o'clock their Lordships Adjourned. ."HOUSE OF COMMONS, MAJtcu 7. The'.SPEAKER took the Chair this day at the usual hour. The Right Hon. CHAS. GRANT took the oathiyuld Dais seat upon his re-election. Sir CHAS. IIORGAN presented a petition from the Maltsters of Chepstow, and another place, against the Malt Acts. Mr. POWELL presented a petition from Sarum against the Corporation and Test Acts. _ _ Mr. LLOYD presented a petition from a parish in the county, of Limerick, in favour of the Catholic Claims. Mr. MONCK presented a petition front the Maltsters of Abingdon, Barks, for the repeal of the Malt Act. Mr.. LEGH KECK moved for copies of the order sent from the Treasury to the Board of Excise for the last year. Mr. GRA.ITAN presented a petitiouirom certain Mer chants of Dublin against the Bill for dissolving the Hiber nian Joint Stock Company. Mr. W. PEEL brought up a Bill to enable the Magis trates to hold SegelOns in Westminster during the sitting of the Court of King's Bench. The Bill was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Monday next. Mr. J. WOOD presented a petition from Mr. Tucker against the return of Mr. Sugden for Weymouth. Mr. MANNING presented a petition from certain Burgesses onlenryn, against th;'l3ill for disfranchisiug that Borough.___ Sir' T. LETHBRIDGE presented a petition froth the Maltsters of Bath, against the Malt Regulation Act'. Mr. VILLIERS moved that there be laid before the House the number . of Executions issued by (we believe) the Court olatchequer, in London and Middlesex, for the year 1827. Sir C.BURRELL presented a petition from the Maltsters of Horsham, against the Malt Regulation Act. Mr. JEPHSON presented a petition from the Catho lics of two parishes in the county of Cork, praying for a repeal of Roman Catholic Disabilities: The Hon. Mem ber took occasion to observe, in presenting similar petitions from a place in Cork, that the petitioners grounded their claimi on the Treaty of Limerick ; he should only make one observation, namely that an admission slipped from the Right Hon. Member for Oxford, which bore directly against his line of argument. That Right non. Gentleinan referred to the propositions refused by Ginkle as a proof that no such things' were intended by the Treaty as were now relied on by the Catholics, for these Propositions re ferred to the holding of. civil and military situations, from which they were debarred by a statute of Elizabeth, but naturally did not include seats in Parliament, from which there was no law to debar them. GREECE. Sir R. WILSON said. he wished to put a question to the Gallant Admiral opposite, which grew out of an answer to a question put by him the other night to the Right Honourable the Secretary of the Colo nies, relative to 2,500 Greek women and children who, subsequently to the battle of Navarin, were sent as slaves to Alexandria. The question which be wished to put was, whether any part of our naval force in the Me diteiranean (not damaged in the battle of Navarin) amounting to 16 or 18 frigates cad sloops of war, were employed is blockading Patras, and the other fortified places in the Mores, which were in the possession of the Turks. Sir GEORGE COCKBURN said, the naval force in the Mediterranean, exclusive of those ships engaged in the battle of Navarin, consisted of fifteen vessels, and there were two or three ships in the action which were not damaged, but as the former vessels were on different eta, tions in the Mediterranean, when the action, which was wholly unexpected took place, they could not be made im mediately available for service. The last despatches re ceived from the Admiral commanding on that station, were dated the 21st of November last, and from those despatches it did not, appear that any of our :rival force was em. ployed in blockading the forts mentioned by the Gailant Officer. Major PEEL presented a petition from the Malteters of the Western Division of Norfolk, against the Malt Regula tion Act. Mr. LAMB presented returns from the Charter Schools in Ireland. Lord MOUNTCHARLES presented a petition from the Roman Catholics of different parishes in Donegal, praying for a repeal of the Ronan Catholic disabilities. Sir G. HILL presented a petition from the Governor and ether Members of the Ulster Salmon Fishing com pany, against the Salmon Fishery Bill. • After some discussion, in which the Kisictir of KIRRY, Mr. S. Rica, and Mr. lemma took a part, the petition was ordered to be printed. REMOVAL OF A JUDGE IN INDIA. Mr. BROUGHAM wished to know whether it was true that a Learned Judge in India had been removed from his situation, for expressing in bis judicial capacity an opi nion, from which it might be inferred that he contem plated a period when the East India Company's Charter would net be renewed. He trusted there was no founda tion for the report. Mr. COURTENAY: could not say that the report was without foundation, but the Government had not received any official notification of the suspension of Judge Smith, but he believed that that Learned Judge had been • called upon for an expla nation of the expressions attributed to him. Mr. BROUGHAM said it was ominous to hear of an explanation having been asked from a Judge, for :a judicial opinion expressed by him—from any quarter except the Cottit 'of Appeal. He should be glad to know by whom this explandtion was demanded. MK COVRTENAY (as we understood him) said the explanation was . required hy the Vice President of the Council. .... 3. s , PUBLIC CHARITIES. Mr. PEEL ilioved that an huMble Addreis be presented to his Majesty, praying that there be laid before the House the report of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the public charities of.the country. After some observations by Mr. BROUGHAM, Mr. J. MARTIN, Sir .J. YORKE, Mr. HUMS, and Mr. D. W. IlaaysN - , the motion was agreed to. MESSAGE FROM TH LORDS. A Messenger from the, Lords bilbught up the Lunatic Asylum Bill, which their'Lordships bad agreed to without an amendment. Mr. BROUGHAM presented a petition signed by the most 4spectable Catholics in Ireland, praying for a Repeal of the Oath taken by every Member of Parlia ment upon taking his seat, that the Roman Catholic Reli gion is damnable and idolatrous. He should, when his Hon. Friend the Member for Westminster b ught forward i his motion for a repeal of the C a th o li c Di iliti es on th e 29th April, move that the prayer of the p e ion should be taken into considetation.—Ordered to be printed. - Mr. BROUGHAM presented a petition from ) John Yale, an innkeeper at Halifax, in Yorire, com plaining of the conduct of the Magistrates aPhe Quarter Sessions at Brewster, in refusing to renew his licence, without . assigning any reason fe r their conduct, but by merely saying, " We have made up our minds, you have lost your licence; we will givenereasen." The petitioner stated that in May last, lie took an inn, at a rent of 851. a year, in Halifax ; that be expended 250/. in necessary repairs ;_ that at the last Sessions of the Peace held in that part of the county, he had applied to the Sitting Magi strates for a licente,'and halt been rerused, without the existence of any good groundi for the refusal. The effects of this proceeding had:been most_calasnitous to the peti tioner, who 'was utterly ruined. - The,Learned Gentleman said, if the statements in itetifion wee at all borne out by the facts, that the case of the petitioner was one of the hardest that he had ever lieard of, No case of greater hardship Had-arisen even out of the operation of the Li censing System itself. 't , .• After an observation from 'Mr. DUNCOMBE, The petition was brought up, read, and' ordered to be printed. - Lord CASTLEREAGH presented several petitions of Roman Catholics in the county - of Devon, in favour of Ca tholic Emancipation.'--Ordered to be laid on the table. DECCAN PRIZE MONEY. Mr. MIME inquired of_the_Right Hon. the Chancellor . of the Exchequer when it was intended to make a distri bution of tlorDeccan Prize Money. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUZR' said the subject haal been recently under the consideraßbn of his Majesty's Government,' and he believed he might say; the period of distribution would be annimneed in the next Gq— zette, or in that which followed it. i•%;:4<' CASE OF JONATHAN FOX. Mr. LIJMLEY, according to notice, moved that Jonathan Fur, in colotody.at the order of the House, should be called to the bar and discharged. _ _ Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN thought it iMportant that the House should defend it's privileges in cases like the pre bent. Every one must have perceived that it was-impos sible to get the truth out of those witnesses. It was not because of their ignorance that they were so incommunica tive, for though they were Yorkshiremen, they had as much cunning' as any Member of that House. He thought it would be wrong to discharge them without a reprimand at least. After, a few words from Mr. ST*WART and Sir C. BURRELL, Mr. BARING moved, as an amendment, that Jonathan Fox he .brought up: to the Bar of the House on Monday next, in order to be discharged. Mr. PEEL thought the House ought not to acquiesce in any proposal for greater lenity. •He trusted that if the Hon. Alderman (Waithman) had any prejudices against Yorkshiremen, he need not display them on the present 'occasion. The witnesses who were to be examined that night came from the town of y..aat Re tford ; and with all deference to the topographical knowledge of the Hon. Alderman, he begged to inform him that East Retford was not in Yorkshire, but in Nottinghamshire.—(A laugh.) After a desultory conversation on the subject, between Mr. W. SMITH, Mr. N. CALYERT, Mr. C. W. WYNN, Mr. LUMLEY, and an unknown Member, who spoke to the indisposition of Fox whilst under *examinatioo, the original motion was withdrawn, and the amendment was agreed to. • Fox was then ordered to be brought to the bar on Aloti= day nut, to_ be reprimanded and discharged. The CHANCELLOR of. the : EXCHEQUER post poned the Committee of Supply till Monday next. WAYS AND MEANS. On the motion of the CROCE LLCM of the EXCIIEQUtIt, the House resolved _ itself into a COmmittee of Ways and Means. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that though has Hon. Friend the MeMber for Loiadonderry had, by hif„tlesire, given notice that he would,-on the present even*, propose certain • resolutions relative to the sugar duties, it was plat his intention to propose them on the pre : sent occasion. The resolutions - which he intend& to move were, the annual resolutions for granting td his Majesty the duty of 4s. id:the pound, ou all pensions and places, for enabling him to apply to the service of the year the Sum of 60,0001., received from the East India Company, on ac count of half. - pay, for appropriating a certain portion.of the unclaimed dividends, and for payment of a certain number of Exchequer Bide. Mr. 11 THOMSON asked whether there was any truth in the rMuour that it was the intention of Government to increase the bounty on the exportation of fine sugar, thereby taxing people for the benefit of a particular interest. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER must de cline to answer the question of the Hon. Gentleman. To enter into such an explanation at present would - lead to 'nue!' useless discussion. " • Mr. P. THOMSON did not wish for silty discussion; all he wanted to know was, whether such an arrangement as that to which be had alluded was under discussion. Mr. HUME was oropinierTti;at the Chancellor s( thc Exchequer.' had acted with sound discretion in declining ,to answer the question of•his lion. Friend, whilst the amount-of -the sugar duties WM under consideration. Sir J. NEWPORT 'trusted that the Right lion. Gen doyen would take under consideration the policy of pre venting sugar from Wing refined in the West Indies. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER implored the House not to enter into a consideration ofquestiuns con. nected with the sugar duties, on a vote which had no na • tural connexion with them. • Mr. BRIGHT said that the produefons of the West Indies laboured under such a load of taxation, that it would only be prudent to adopt some measure which would tend to weaken the pressure of it.—The resolutions were then put and carried. The CHAIRMAN reported the reeolutions, and the 'd‘rat* report was ordered to be =en into farther COnsi ion on Monday next. EAST RETFORD DISFRANCHISEMENT BILL. On the motion of Mr. TENNI-sots, *the House resolved itself into a Committee on this Bill. Mr. Gosport was in the chair. The first witness called in was Edw. Cromwell Brown. Edward Cromwell Brown was then imtoduced for-exami nation at the bar. Mr. Tmorysox proceeded to interrogate him. In your examination of.the 4th of March, you stated that you knew in some of these elections, there wereqdpove tO electors who would not take money.' I shall now put into your hands the lists of the burgesses for 1818, 1820, and 1826—will you mark off, in any of these lists, the 40 names you have alluded to. Mr. WYNN suggested that as the witness had in his former examination, merely given his opinion, they had better not , dwell on an answer so given, but go into the real evidence of the particular fact now sought to be esta blished. Mr. TENNYSON wanted to show bow far the fact would, or would not, justify, the witness's opinion on there being 40 who would not take bribes. If the names were marked, then the opinion could at once be brought to tho true test. After a few words from Mr. D. W. HARVEY, Mr. W. W 1 NN, Mr. FERCUSSON, Sir E. KNATCHELILI, and Mr. Srxxs, • The witness was recalled, and asked if he had compared the lists, and marked off the names that had not taken money ? He replied be had examined the lists of 1818, 1820, and 1826, and he found '7O in 1826,.wh0 did not take money. In 1820 there were 22 unpaid, and 23 in 1818.' By Mr. B. COOYIR—Did those who are marked off as unpaid, refuse a bribe when directly offered, or merely say they would not take money 2-1 merely told them that Sir Henry Wilson would only do what was just and proper. I gave them to understand Ise would not pay for votes. Did you directly represent that he would give no money? —I meant that be would give no money ; he only said he would do what was just. The witness proceeded to state _ _ that the electors would support the candidate if he pledged himself against Catholic Emancipation, and that by the expression." he would do what was just and right," they understood him to mean that. ' Being asked whether, if the electors were ignorant of the candidate's sentiments reverting emancipation, and that this expression were used, they would understand it to imply that be would pay them what was usual 2—The wituess believed some of dint would se understand it. There are 219 voters in East Retford. Of these the wit- near stated that i 0 had not received the money at the elec- tion in 1826 ; he was not sufficiently acquainted with the remainder to say that they. would not take money. There 'were 104 burgesses resident in East Retford. There were only 42 polled, and of these, 20 voted for Sir H. W. Wilson, the popular candidate. Of the 70 voters, who, in 1826, had not received a bribe, 51 of them had been made burgesies since 1820 • By Mr. TENNI79Ow--If Sir IL W. Wilson had inquired from you. what was the proportion of the voters' at East .Retforr/ that,. as you conceived, would require money from hiirt, what is the proportion you would mentionito him? Witness.—Three-fourths. The witness was ordered to withdraw. Mr. Richard Haunam was then called in and re-examined --In reply to questions from Counsel (Mr. Denman), the witness stated that no complaints had been made. against him for not paying money after the election in 1812. It was Pickett who received the money and paid it. There was one man, of the name 9f Buxton, who did not attend when the money was distributed, aud'who afterwards com plained that he had not been paid. No Money was given to witness for. the porpese of distributing to the electors. Witness did not received any money from an attorney of the name of Clarke: Tint Mr: Clarke . was ,the person who ade such a figure , some yeail ago, in the case of a forgekivill" Mellish v: Rankin." By a illamexe r. -On that occasion, the election of 1812, he paid a part Of the election rnonex'. ghat took place after: the ;election was 'concluded. paid one er two person's himself; but not more. By - Mr. LUMLEY-Witness bad received letters'on the subject of Payment. That, he supposed, arose front the general idea that he was the paymaster. By Mr. D. W. liaavEY-1t was known, in 1812, that Mr. Osbahliston wished to get in fur the borough— and, be believed, small sums were distribnted to, keep up his interest. :Witness saw Pickett pay the burgesses, but no mcniik wag 'given to him. By Mr. Citomerori—Witness conceived that it would be useful to extend the franchise, and he bad signed a paper on that subject which bad been left: at his o ffi ce. He wished the franchise either to be removed or extended, the'present moment wished for some such alteration, and he believed there was not a man in the town that did not. It was not his habit, when employed by people, to come and disclose their secrets without their concurrence. He believed he had not discovered any secrets not recoll,eet to whom he gave the first information relative to Mr. Oshaldiston's election. He gave information to nobody. He came to the bar in obedience to the order of the House, and he would- no, have come otherwise: He had conversed on this suluect with Mr. Gregson. That individtial wrote hima note, and witness called on him. Witness told him he apprehended that the freemen would bi paid. That'occurred just before the petition came on here. He hail disclosed nothing to him, except that , the freemen would be paid as usual. Then you called on a complete stranger to disclose your employer's affairs, without any prospect of advantage?— (Several Members said that this question ought not to be put.) Mr. CROMPTON—I will put that question. I have a right to put it. , The CHAMMAN.—The Hatt. Member cannot put any • question without. the permission of the Committee, and they seem to object to it. By Mr. C. P. TuomesoN—lt was notorious that bribery existed in the borough ; but be could not recollect the na if the differnt candidates since 1812 who had been gui ,oibery. I.le believed, is his own mind, that every gei an who was returned did give money. He only knew one peisian who did not pay, and he never stood again. _ By Mr. Luau:a - sr.—Re had not, as clerk to the magis trates,' received any penalty or fine; and converted it to his own use. Penalties under the Game Laws came to his hand, and he paid them over to the clergyman of the parish. He paid overall the money which he received. Mr. D. W. HARVEY and Mr. Alderman WarrimaN objected to this line of examination. By Mr. W. D. HARVEY.--The name, of the hundred in which East Retford "Ts situate was Bassel-law. It con tained 74 parishes. If the elective franchise were exten ded over the tower and hundred, the number of votes 'would be about 1,200. The Duke of Newcastle had a pa ramount interest in the hundreds. • Taking the freehol. ders of the hundred at. 1,200, he thought that a conside rable portioa of them 'would be under the influence of the Duke of Newcastle. He believed that the Duke of New castle as a landholder; would have a paramount influence in that hundred. There was another nobleman who had a similar influence to that of the Duke of Newcastle. He did not know' that the influence of the Duke of Norfolk or the Duke of Porthind, was very extensive. There was, in the hundred, a pretty sprinklittg, of small freeholders. • By Mr. Davattroax 7 -You have stated,, that the voters were told that all was " just and:tight," What was meant by these terms? Witness—Tlie ineanieg wita, that tbey - would be paid 40 guineaa.—(Linghter.) • By Mr, G. SMlTH—Witness knew 2,240/. to be paid at an election for eating and drinkitto; " • Mr. D. W. HARVEY said, it unw became his duty to . introduce a question of considerahle delicacy, on which he wished to have the advice and assistance of the Committee. It bad been stated in evidence by Jonathan Fox, that in 1818 or 1819, he h a d rece i ve d .'2,800/. from a gentleman who was at that time a candidate for East Retford, and had at present a seat in the s ,House: .:,What money was to be distributed amongst 'the voters.; Wand, it appeared that he entered an 'account of. its expenaitiire in a book, which official voucher for ,the manner in which he had employed the sum so intrusted to him, he had subse quently given up to the gentleman by whom the money had been advanced. Now, it would not only be portant, as forming part of a regular chain of evidence, to call that gentleman, and to examine him, for the purpose of ascertaining whether that voucher was still in existence; hat it was still more important to take that step, for the purpose of removing any unfavouraMe impression with respect to their proceedings that might be entertained out , of that House by the public. He thought they were bound in the discharge of their duty, to place that gentleman at the bar, in order that they might have the benefit of his examination.—(Hear.)--Under ordinary circumstances, he might feel a good deal of delicacy in advising such a course to be adopted ; but lie confessed that any delicacy which he might entertain on the subject, was softened down, if not entirely obliterated, by the part which the Hon. Gen tleman to whom he alluded had taken on this occasion: The evidence giiren :before the Committee, and the matter contained in the report which had been laid before the House, prayed what the conduct of the Hon. Member had been in these election transactions. The Hon. Gentleman then moved, " That Samuel Crompton, Esq. formerly member for East Retford, and now a Member of this ~~« f . . House, be called to the liar of this novae, to give evidence touching the Etist Retford election."' The CHAIRMAN —The question for.the Committee t• .consider is,- whether; if-the Hon. Qentleman be called el the bar, he will, feel; disposed to 'answer any questioe' that may be put to lain, and if not, what power the Co mittee possesses to enforce answers ? The mee of colliel a member of the House to the bar, is apt,: I believe, Very common one. Bit instances have oceurted , where Members who were called upo n to h e exam i ned were the 'House of Peers haVe refused to answer certain question& My impressime is, that the Hon. Gentleman may also re' 'fuse to answer. Mr. W. WYNN seid, it was in .the power of the Coto.: mittee to demand answers to such queetiotts as might be put to a Member. Mr. CROMPTON did not mean to say any thing at an on this question. He did not think it was neeemoary„ ile felt ashamed of nothing he had elOne..e ;-(Hear e ,hear..) M to what the Hon. Member for Colchester had said about his conduct, he would make no observation on it. He had been elected for this borough in 1912 .and 18113; and, if that House determined to call on him for information, he hoped it would be found that he. never had. swerved from, the right line of duty.. -. (Her, hear.) It must b e a b e tter man than the' Hon.. Member for Colchester who would: bring him to disclose his private affairs: (Criesd -" Order" and " hear.") He would not be examined by that 'Non. Member. Mr. D. W. HARVEY rose to order. The Hon. Member for Derby had chosen to state,. that, while he was willing to be examined by other persons, he would notallow.hime self to be examined by the Honn Member for Coldwater. , Mr. CROMPTON—"'I won't; I won't." - Mr. D. W. HARVEY—I say, that ifs-(Here the greatest confusion prevailed.) • • • . The CHAIRMAN requested the Committee to hear Mr. - Harvey to order. Mr. D. W. HARVEY—I say this, thatif the Com mittee come to the. resolution to examine the Hon. Mem ber fig Derby, or if any other Non. Member shall be exa mined, I, as a Member for Colcinotere•willstatervngate W that man, and it will not, be' in the oe, entlemates power to prevent me,. Mr. W. - WYNN said, the Hen.. Member cer tainly have a right to examine any wino:soot-the bar. Mr. CALCRAFT said, his Hon. ,Friend (Mr. Cremp tou), whom they all knew and respected for a great num ber of ',Sire, evidently spoke under [the impulse of very strong feeling. He should therefore recommend to the Committee, and he hoped the suggestion would be adopted, that, in the state of excitation under which his Hon. Friend laboured. at this moment, the question should be adjourned, and his Hon. Friend's examination - Wren on Monday next. Mr. CROMPTON could assure his- ilon...Friead and theCnnnittee, that.,he never would dispute the power ,of the House. They were deliberating upon a veryiinpor taot atieietien e on 'which they were justified in procuring all theinformation ehey could ; but he would not be bullied into any thing ley e etny individual. (C r i es of. " Hear," and et order.") -.14;,,fiC not wish be set himself up against the House, but: a gainst an individual ; and to that indivi dual he would lay, " -When you are ready to lay open all the trensactiont of youilife, and let the public judge of them, 'I am .heady to do , the,sante." (Cries of " Hear," and " Order. 7) . • , The CHAIRMAN. must again suggest to the Connelite tee his opinion, that no Member could . be exmoinedean trary to-his inclination. . • - Mr. W. W. WYNN thought env could be no- doubt that the House had th e rnost complete joyisdictiou over its own - Members. - Y. ,111 C. D.. W.. HARVEY, in answer to what had fallen Om the Hon. Member for Derb s p ec ti ng t h e trans actions. of his life, would tell that' Member, that not confining the investigation merely ribery and corrup tion, if he chose to move for an in y into all the trans actions in - which he (Mr. D. W', ervey) had beet' en gaged, from his cradle until the pr; - t moment, be should be ready andwilling t, o into the inquiry. (Loud cries 01 " Order.") - • Sir R. WILSON, , the best way of .eettling this question, and of put an end to these irregular proceed ings, would be to e ee 'lltat the lion. Member for Derby be examined in his 'e!tee. . Mr. PEEL was sorry that the lion. Gentleman who had proposed that Mr. Samuel Crompton—(he believed that lie IA now a right to name the Hon. Member)—should he examined,' should have prefaced his motion by the observa tions which he had'inade. It was not his wish to throw any difficulty in the way of the Hon. Member for Derby being examined, if the House wished that he should be examined ; but r lte really thought it would be better to post pone that examination, _when it was considered that the Hon. Member was under a degree of excitement, from wgich he ought to be entirely free, when undergoing any exami nation, but more (specially when tindergOiug -the *minima tion of the Hon. Member for Colchester.—(Hear.) Mr. D. W. HARVEY explained. . Mr. CROMPTON attempted neaddrein the House, but sat down amidst loud cries of " Question." Mr. TENNYSON had no intention to call the lion. Member for Derby.. He had ether witnesses whomehe could call if the House pleased, but hccOnsidered his case fully established ; : and was ready to close it iltetey-time: It was no longer his case, but that of the Committee. (Loud cries ef " Go on.") • The motion was then (as we understood) withdrawn, and the examination of witnesses continued. William Leadbetter was then called. Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN desired the evidence which this witness had given on a preceding "occasion, which he denied having received any me e to be read. The evidence was read. Witness examined by Mr. Alderman., ITIMAN—Iie reedleetedhaving given that evidence. 11 'e'hut to abide by it. Persisted in it. Had said that he never received loo ney in the presence of Mr. Hannan, , and. would pow abide by that. - Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN desired Hanuam's eti• deuce to be read; in which he stated that Leadbetter hid been paid in his presence.—The evidence was read ac cordingly.AlAderman r 'AITWILAN—iWitat have you to say to that evidence? evidence? 11 Witness.—l positively deny it. Hannam was then called, and identified. Leadbetter. Mr. Alderman WAITIBIAN then moved that it was the opinion of the Committee that Leadbetter had been guilty of givfng Wee evidence. Mr. PEEL opposed the motion. After a few words from Lord J. Rusezer., Mr. W. . Wytetr, and Mr. PEEL, all the evident* relititig to the . .; witness was read. - BENETT thought the punishment of this indi vidual necessary to the dignity of the House. Mr. PEEL thought the dignity of the House would be best consulted by seeing - first if they were justified iu punishing him. Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN said, the •case was so clear against this man, that he thought the. House won'd not do its duty if it suffered hint to escape.' - The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said a few words, which were not heard in the gallery. Lord J. RUSSELL, observed, that-the House was not bowed in its . proceedings by the same strictness of rule which governed a Court of Law. Mr. G. BANKES said that the Home would do well to be extremely cautious in its-proceedings. Sir J. WROTTESLEY protested against the ends of justice being, defeated by any legal subtlety. Mr. 'miss contended thaeno man, either in the House Of Sir CO J. WROTTESLEYmmonsoreleewhere, explained. Mr. to n bedeclared guilty upon a ny c h arge without having an opportuaity of being heard in his defence. - Mr. Alderman WAITHAI4* should move as a resolu tion on the part of the it 31 .
