in tire Address, 'arid thought that the Newfound land merchants-Wail a tight to'expect protection. SirJOITN NEIiPORT Shortly replied, when the Previous qui.mion was, - car. and the Address ficoaticed: CAPTAIN OCR. Mr. WYNN'E presented a Petition from Captain Orr; compiaining of being dismissed the service, in consequence of an opinion expressed by a Court Martial. An,Offlecr, who had been brought by Captain Orr to a Court 11,irtial for an assAul;, had been f,nind ;ruilty of disrespectful conduct to Captain Orr, but the Court had been . of opinion, that Captain Orr had not been influenced by a regard to the - service, in- consequence of which . cpi,tion he had been . dismissed. The- Petition, Traying for inquiry into his conduct, was biongbt up and re - ar. - Sir G. U'Attetfinc,a stated, that Captain Ocr Lad - been d.istnis , ed, because he failed in proving cimrges• he had brought aeainst an inferior Officer, and that both the Lord Lieutenant of the County, and the Colonel of the Regiment, had been oropihion, that his conti!tuance in the regi ment %%tilt incompatible with the good of the la ser nd had sosteted to the Secretary of State. After some cx!danatiou on the part of Mr. IVYNN:7 and Fir G. WARTtiEND,LPit, the Petition was -ordered to lie on the table. LORD ELGIN'S COLLECTION. _ Mr. ROnzter WARD said he held in his hand a retiticm from Lord Elgin, relotivc to - his valuable rollecritni-of Marbles, which he offered to dispose of to the public. The Cif ANCELL9R of the ExcinduEß supported the Petition, and stated -that his Lordship's Col,. lection of Marbles was very valuable, and highly desertin,, ! , a liberal compensation. - Mr. ilortzeett did nut wish that any thing should be clone 'on the subject till next Session, when they would have time to inquire how his Lordship became posrigSsed -of those marbles ; whether in eapacity_as a publie servant or as a private in dividual. kf in his capacity of a public servant, the compigsation should certainly be less, than if he .became possessed of them as a private in di Mr. BANKES said, he understood there had been a liberal offer already made on the part of. Govern went for those marbles, but that the demand was so extravagant, that they were not purchased. He should wish a liberal price should be paid for them, but lve would not agree, that they should be purchased at an exorbitant rate. Sir JOHN NEWPORT thought the manner in which the marbles were acquired ought to be in quired into, as it was generally understood that they were obtained through the most infamous spoliation. On the part of the. barbarians in that country, and under such circumstances, he hoped this country would be no parties in the transac tion. The Petition was then brought up and read. .011 the motion that it lay on the table, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUERe•xpressed his opinion in favour of a Committee of Enquiry to ascertain theif value, rather than the making of a hargain.hetween the Noble Lord and the Trea sury. The,lateness of the Session precluding the possibility of any longer enquiry, - it would be bet ter that it should be postponed. -lie had no dis position to oppose the Petition laying on the table. Mr. ROSE said, be understood that the Trustees of the British Museum would. consent to receive these antiquities as a deposit, provided the Noble Lord.would abide by the value which a Commit- , tee might set upon them. After some further observation from the CRAY... CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER and Lord G. CAvEN- Ptstl,the Petition wa; ordered to lie on the table. LOAN TO THE CORPORATION OF LIVERPOOL. MI. BIRCH robe to call the attention of tke House to the circumstances under which the Trea sury had advanced two sums of 30,0001. and 20,000/. to the Corporation of Liverpool. It ap peared that this otoney.was lent 'without any com munication to Parliament, and was secured on a tobacco warehouse; or rather, as the Hon. Gen tleman believed, a mere shed. The Right . Han. Gentleman might perhaps look. to the amount of the rent, which was stated to be 50001. a year ; but how was this rent fixed ? It had been settled between the borrower and the lender, and was • greally - overcharged, as the utmost value was 2000/, a year. intilar loans had at times been justified ; but the Hon. Member conceived, that a particular inquiry ought to be made on this occa sion : he, therefore, moved,. that an account should be laid before the House, of any sum or sums of money which had been lent to any public body for the last 10 years out ofthereecipts of the revenue, without the authority of Parliament. The CHANCELLOR of the ExCWEQUER said, that Goven - nvnt had not acted. in the least clandes tinely or improperly in advancing this money : it was ient after the fullest public inquiry. He ex plained at some length the grounds on which the.. agreement for the security had been consented to. The warehouse was so much larger than what was required as a deposit of tobacco, that a part of it bad been appropriated to the reception of East India produce.' The rent saved by Government kV :IS nnn - e than double ,the interest of the money advanced. - The case, on the whole, afforded no grounds_ whatever for inquiry. Mr. WYNNE insisted, that this was one of. the most unconstitutional advances that had ever been made of the - public money. If the Right Hon. Gentleman had come forward, and asked for it in ,proper -way, it would not have been objected to • by him. He could not see what Government had to, do With the Dock of Liverpool, any more than li any other Dock in the kingdom. General GASCOYNR explained the investigations that had taken place to ascertain that the secu rity of the warehouse was sufficient ; it had even been undervalued ; as it had sometimes produced 10,0001. a-year, and often 7400/. From . these premises he conclirded with asserting that there could be no doubt of the security being more than sufficient. The public works %which had been un dertaken by the Corpora .ion of Liverpool, with-• out the assistance of Parliament, would am ount to 600,0001. or 760,000/. The temporary assist ock, was, therefore, ttneC given them for thuir scarcely worth `tuentio s ohig. , Sir Joirx NEWPORT- thought the question did not at all rest upon the ample natnre of the secu rity but• Le.objected to she granting of any ow my without Oa authority of Parliament. The same principle might be adopted for every great port* in the kingdom. "General ,GASCOYNP. explained: Mr. BANXES Ob*ted to the principle on - which. the -money was advanced ; but was convinced tlesl the chancellor of tht. Exchequer thought he was doing' his duty by lending it. It was, at all,etents, an objectionable precedent, and he therefore pro tested against it. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER explain ed. lle justified fbeadvances,_on the ground that they were partial repayments by the Corporation. Mr.BENsotsr asserted, that the interest had been regularly paid on these grants. The estates given as , seem-icy, he considered to be.worth a million and a half., Mr. W. SMITIT made the same objections to the priociple of the grant as had-been adianced by the preceding speakers. Mr. Bfaca re-asserted that the interest bad not been paid ; and the Corporation either dill apply oe thrant to apply -to Government for the remis siOn of 40001. - that was due. The motion was then put and carried. Mr. WYNNE obtained leave to bring in a Bill to ensure die benefit of Vaccination for such poor pet sons as are desirous threof. The CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER gave no tice, that tie would to morrow move for leave to bring in Bill for the more effectually controlling accoants that were kept abroad. - COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY. • On the Report of the-Committee being brought np, and the motion being made to agree with the .Resolutions, Mr. ARBUTHNOT, seeing a Right Hon. Baro net (Sir John Newport) 'in his place, informed him that be had ingnired in the CoMmissary-Ge neral's Department for intormaiion respecting the questions he had asked about advertisements for contracts being inserted in the Irish Papers, and had been assured that no such advertisements bad ever been sent to them by that Department. Per haps the Editors had inserted them on their own authority, for some purpose which he could not divine., Sir J. NEWPORT thought the Right Hon. Gen tleman's information perfectly satisfactory, but could not•agree with him in his inference. On the Resolution being 'read respecting the sums for repairing the African forts, Mr. ARBUTHNOT - said, 'for the information of the,Hon. Gentleman who had questioned him last night on this subject, hebad examined the diffe rent Acts of Parliament, and"found that all which he had previously stated was correct. - Mr. GoxpoN-thanked the Right Hon. Gentle man for the trouble he had taken, but as the forts .were originally established for the protection of the SlaVe Trade,and as that trade tit as now abolish ed, he could see no reason why they should not be dismantled,,and the money they annnally cost be saved to the country. He concluded by mov ing., that the Resolution be re7committed. After some conversation between Mr. Arbuth mor, Mr. Nicholson - Calvert, the Chancellor of the ExChequer, Mr. William Smith, Mr. Preston, Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald, and Mr. P. Moore, the Resolution was ordered to be re-committed on Wethresday next. The remaining ReSolutions were agreed to, and Bilk ordered accordingly. _The Report of the Ways and Means teas tire: brought up by. Mr. Brogden. The several Reso lutions were agreed to, and Bills ordered accord-, inoy. Mr. ARBUTHNOT opposed the printing of the African accounts, because the expeiice of printing of them had increased from eight or nine thousand pounds in a few years to the enormous' sum of 90,0001. Mr. Weston and Mr. Wm. Smith supported the printing of the Accounts. _ _ _ - After some observations from Mr. Arbuthnot, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Mr. , Whit bread, they were ordered to be printed. Mr. Hotorea gave notice for his Hon. Friend Sir J Newport, that he would move to-morrow for an account of the number of persons confined for debt in Ireland. MUTINY BILL. The report was brought up, and several clauses moved by Lord PALMERSTON .w.cre agived to. An additional clause was objected to by Mr. HORNUR, as not making a proper distinction in the case of forfeitures •of arrears of pay by soldiers for mis conduct when taken pris9ners. It likewise threw too great a difficulty on the soldier, by calling on him to prove that he was fairly captured, and had conducted himself properly till he effected his return. Lord PALMERSTON did not object to the sug gestion._ Mr. WHITBREAD thought great allowances ought to be made for the soldiers in such cases. The case was different from that of deserters, for whom there was a particular provision. The stoppage of arrears was tint always right to men who were placed by accident under suspicibus cir cumstances. Colonel Noon wished not for severity, but for a further inducement to the soldiers , to avoid dan gers resulting from their own improper conduct. Mr. Hon Nan's amendment to this clause was agreed to. Mr. BENNETT rose to propose several additional clauses, to limit and restrain the 'powgi' of the Crown to dismiss Officers without a Court Mar= tial. He adduced several 'instances to prove the abuses to which' it was liable. Arriong'st these was the case of the Officers of the 85th Regi ment, who, in consequence of a quarrel which. had arisen between the ANor and another Offi cer, had been ordered, to prosecute, and having refused to engage in a prosecution, which they. considered as groundless,- had been dismissed the service without being. tried by a Court-Martial the case of Lieutenant Reddesdale and Captain Boyd, of the Militia; the case of Ensign Cowell, who. had been tried by a Court-Martial, and obliged to quit, the service for not fighting a duel, &c. Af ter so m e f urther remarks, he conclude d ' by moving his first claus e , f or li m i t in g t h e power of the rown with respect to the dismissal of Officers without bringing them to a Court-Martial. Sir F. FLOOD defended the conduct of the Court- Martial with respect to Lieut. Reddesdale. . A Cuert-Martial be considered to - be oue. of the th6st lionourable tribunals that could exist. it was a Court of strict hsw un the one side, and of 'equity on the . other. 'Hr. M. SUTTON replied to the speech of the Gentleman (Mr. Bennett), and explained the proceedinks which had taken place in the cases to which he had referred, and vindicated the course which had hen pursued. A desultory discussion followed, in which Lord Palmerston, Mr. W. Smith, Mr. Sutton, Sir G. Warrender, General Gascoyne, Sir . W. Wynne, and Lord Compton, took a tart ; after, which the clause was negatived. Mr. BEN&Ei-T said lie would not at that late. hour move his clause respecting corporal punish ment, but he wished to give notice, that on Wed nesday next 'he should move for leave to bring in a 13111 to limlt the number of lashes to be inflicted by the sentences of Courts Martial. • The Report was then agreed to, and the 'Bill ordered to be read a third time this day. The other Orders. of the Dly were disposed of, and the House adjourned at ONE O'CLOCK this Morning. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. DUTCH AND FLANDERS MAIL. , SAXONY, :MAY 31.—1 c is believed that our con tingent, the Command of which has been given by his Majesty to Lieutenant-Genetal Le Coq, will be SOOO men, of whom 1000 will be cavalry. GHENT, JUNE 11.-We have received certain accounts from La VCn(l6e. The two brothers, La Roche Jacquelin, have roused the whole country. Already several brilliant airlirs have signalised the courage of the Royalists, who make ,daily and as tonishing progress. Iris affirmed that they have fifty cannon, taken from Huonaparte's troops, and there-seems no doubt but that *efficacious assist ance and the presence of a great personage would give thes'e faithful subjects a degree of energy and enthusiasm which would spread like lightning from the West to the South and interior of France. The 9th of May was the last day of the month's delay granted by Bnonaparte, to the Officers who have followed the King and the Princes. By Buonaparte's law, when this delay is expired, all military persons who do not return to France, have made themselves liable to the penalty of death add the confiscation of their property. The superior Officers on duty at Ghent, or there by permission, resolved to celebrate this dayas an epoch of honour. They met at an entertainment, when after the healths of the King, of the Duchess d'Angouleme, the heroine of France and of 69 Royal Family ; they drank to " The deliverance of the COuntry and the fall of the Tyrant." This numerous Meeting engaged their honour never to submit, whatever circumstances or events may fake place, to the ty ranny of Buonaparte ; to employ ,their whole lives, and all their efforts to contribute to his (le struction, and never to separate their fate from that of the King and the Royal Family. The funeral oration of such of the Officers present at the contrticti»g of this 'engagement, as shall fall in this just. and holy cause, shall be publicly pronounced by one of the senior Officers of the same rank as the one who has fallen. All contracted the engagements mutually to assist and stand by each other as brothers. A Proces Verbal of these engagements of honour was drawn up and signed by all the Officers pre sent.—(Jour. de Gand.)

BAMBERG, JUNE 4.—The follcwi ng are some particulars of the death of Prince Berthier:—FOr some days preceding, a remarkable change in his manner had been observed. General SaCken, who dined with him on the 31st May, at his father in-law's, the Duke of Bavaria, told him he was charmed at seeing him among the stri:lll num ber of persons who had remained faithful to their King: these cvords disconcerted him so, that he was at a loss for an answer. He had passed all the morning of the Ist at the window, Ob serving with a perspective glass the Russian troops as they went in ; he afterwards Went up to the third story, to" the apartment of his children ; he dismissed the servant, and threw himself out of the window.
