be by the publication of the evidence.' If thele were any errors in it, a publication might lead to their correction. Mr. (10IJI,BLJRN said, ha had no impression or. his mind that the Committee intended to publiSh the whole of 'the evi dence. As a proof that they did not he hid only to mention th e circumstance of their giving mere extracts of the evi dence. The argument of the Right Hon. Baronet would go to chew that no Committee of that nouse ought to make a report until several months after they had published their evidence.— The Committee had,• however, forborne to publish a consider ble portion of the ea&idence, front the very wish not to put forth any partial statement affecting individuals. Their doing other wise. would have excited much party feeling. He saw no reason for e.oncurring in the motion. Colonei TRENCH then rose en said, that as the subject befo re t:,e House was one of considerable importance, he did not think it ought to be discussed in the present stare of the House, which he therefore moved should be counted. This was accordingly done; and there being but 36 Members present, the House adjourned at Half-past Selen.. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. HOCSE OF COMMONS. Jovis; 24 ° die Junii,• IS2-I.

TILE COLONIES CANADA. ( From ea 4inebee Gazette, May 10, 1823.) SUPREME Coun-r.—Yesterday came on before Jud g es HALLIBURTON and _STEwAnT, the King . Elackadar • , being an action of debt against the dLfendant fur the sum of. 2,000/., founded on the sentence of a Court /Martial: The defendant had been originally tried by the Court-Martial on two charges—one for neglect of duty in his office; the other for embezzletnent of the said sum. The Court-Martial by its first sentence had acquitted him of -the latter charge; finding him guilty on the first, had sentenced him to be dismissed from the service, and pay to his Majesty the aforesaid sum of 2,000/. The King directed a revision of this sentence, as the punish ment awarded could not be inflicted under the first charge. The Court Martial, on being re-assembled , admitted fresh evidence under the order of Revision, and on that and the former evidence a final sentence was pronounced, under the second charge, similar to the one given under the first. In the action tried yesterday, the Attorney-General offered, in proof of the debt, the final sentence of the Court Martial given under the order of Revision, which the Supreme Court rejected, on the ground of fresh evidence having`been produced in support of it. The Judges were decidedly of opinion that the latter sentence was illegal, as by the introduction of new evidence it was in reality a second trial of the defendant, instead of 'a mere revision of the proceedings.—( Halifax, N. S., Apra 1, lila) • The defendant, Charles Blackatlar, was a Deputy Assistant Commissary-General, stationed at Halifax. fc. INOST ON (U. C.), MAY 4 Tres WVATHER—For several weeks past has I.Cen remark ably changeable. Yesterday we experienced the warmth of summer, and early this morning the ground was covered with snow. STEAM-BOATS. —The Charlotte commenced running on the 20th ult. The Dalhousie arrived here from Prescott on the Ist instant, and the Frontenac left this port for York, &c. on Sun elay, the 2d instant. IVtoiernEiv., MAT B.—His Excellency the Governor-in- Chief arrived yesterday at six o'clock P.M. in the Lady Sher brooke. When opposite the island of St. Helen aI; oyal salute was fired by the tiarrison. His Excellency and suite landed Opposite the Masonic Hall, in the Lady Sherbrooke's barge. The Hercules came up in a very short passage of 27 hours from Quebec. A splendid dinner is to be given to his Excellency this even ing.—( C. Times.) Montreal Agricultural Report for April, 1824. The early and very flattering hopes of the farmer have been ) more dis-appointed this month than we heretofore remember to have witnessed. The rapid disappearance of the snow, during the early part of the month, and the circumstance of there being little frost in the ground, led to the expectation that the opera tions of agriculture would be soon commenced, and that vege tation would soon set in. We are sorry to find, however, this flattering prospect has been blighted ; cold rains, frosty nights, bleak cloudy days, with hardly any sunshine, have kept the farmers' labours very far back : some sowing has taken place upon dry uplands since the middle of the month, but it is very partial, and on many farms not a handful of seed has been yet put into the ground ; so that even, at this late period, seed time cannot be said to be generally commenced. The want of winter fodder has been severely felt during this spring; and in consequence stock is in very low condition, especially among the Canadian farmers. Fat cattle bring a good price, beef being high ; grain potatoes have also advanced in price, and are much higher than last year at the same period. This has tended to keep up the farmer's spirits, notwithstand ing his disappointment arising from backward weather. Ser vants' wages have not diminished in rates since last year, but there is no difficulty in finding persons to hire. It is confidently expected by all that the Act now in force for preventing abuses in Agriculture will be of much benefit to the country. The abuses it is designed to correct are of a very serious nature to all concerned ; and we trust every good far mer will avail himself of its powers, and oblige his slovenly neighbour to attend to the interest of the public as well as his own. —April 30. Q u Esc, MAY 10.—(UNmii.)—A rumour has been in cir culation for a few days past, that it was the intention of his Majesty's Ministers to submit to Parliament a U n i on o f a ll the British Provinces in North America, and to place at their head a Royal Duke as Viceroy. This project, we suppose, is a sub stitute for the Union of the . Legislatures of Upper anti Lower Canada, which, notwithstanding all that had b een sa id to t h e contrary, was not thought of being revived by Ministers up to the end of March. His Excellency the Governor in Chief arrive?eat Montreal on Thursday last. Previous to his arrival it was announced in the Newspapers that an Address to his Lordship on his approach ing departure for Great BritFn, on a temporary absence from his Government, was deposited at the Exchange Rooms for signature. A Meeting was also called in the same way, for the purpose of making arrangements for a public dinner to his Excellency. ELECTION OF SIIEUIFFS. Yesterday a Common Hall of the Livery of London was convened for the purpose of electing two fit and proper persons to serve the office of Sheriffs of London and , Middlesex for the ensuing year. The Hall was very thinly attended. The RECORDER stated, that they were assembled by virtue of a precept from the Lord Mayor to elect two fit and proper persons as Sheriffs, a privilege highly valuable, as it was pos sessed by no Other city or town in the realm of England. The Lord Mayor, Aldermen, &c. having retired, the Com- MOW SERJEANT read the names of those eligible to serve the office of Sheriff, and declared that the Sheriffi were of opinion that the election had fallen on Aldermen BROWN and KEY. R. CLARK, Esq. was unanimously re-elected Chamberlain. The Bridge Masters were also re-elected. On the return of the Lord Mayor and Aldermen, the RE CORDER stated, that they had confirmed the election of Alder. men Brown and Key to be Sheriffs for the ensuing year. The new Sheriffs returned thanks, and declared their deter mination to uphold the rights and privileges of the city of London. The Hall was then adjourned in the usual form. The LORD MAYOR afterwards held a Court of Aldermen, at which the Chamberlain was sworn. Mr. SANDERS was admitted and sworn into the Office of Water Bailiff. The Court appointed the Guildhall Sessions to commence on the 14th July instead of the 12th, and the Old Bailey Sessions on the 15th of that month. V For "A.

PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT. His MAJESTY, with the usual ceremonies at tendant on the important occasion, this day deli vered a Gracious Speech from the Throne, of which the following is a CoauccT COPY : " My Lords and Gentlemen, " I cannot close this Session of Parliament without returning to you my warmest Acknow- edgments for the Diligence and Assiduity with which you have applied yourselves to the several Objects of Public Interest that have been sub- mitted to your Consith3ration. " 1 deeply regret the painful necessity under which you have found yourselves, of renewing, for a further period, measures of extraordinary precaution in Ireland. " I entirely approve of the Inquiries which you have thought proper to institute, as to the nature and extent of the Evils unhappily existing in the disturbed Districts of that Country ; and I have no doubt that you will see the expediency of pursuing your inquiries in another Session. " I continue to receive from all Foreign Powers the strongest assurances of their friendly disposition towards this Country ; and you may rely on my endeavours being invariably directed to the maintenance of general Peace, and to th e Protection of the Interests and the Extension of the Commerce of my Subjects. " Gentlemen of the House of Commons, " I thank you for the Supplies which you have provided for the service of the present Year; and especially for the Grants which you have so liberally made in furtherance of the Interests of Religion, and in support of the splendour of the Crown. " I am fully sensible of the advantages which may be expected to arise from the Relief which you have afforded to some of the most important Branches of the National Industry. " illy Lords and Gentlemen, " I have the greatest satisfaction in repeating to you my Congratulations upon the general and increasing Prosperity of the Country. " I am persuaded that you will carry with you, into your respective Counties, the same spirit of harmony which has distinguished your deliberations during the present Session, and that you will cultivate, among all classes of my Subjects those feelings of content and of at tachment to the Constitution, upon the conti- nuance and diffusion of which, under Providence, mainly depends not only individual happiness, but the high station which this Kingdom holds among the Nations of the World." Ills MAJESTY did not arrive at the Hot.se of Lords till near half after two, and the Speech was not delivered till within a few minutes of three o'clock. His MAJESTY appeared in good health, and was heartily cheered on his passage, and on his return to his Palace. By an Express from Portsmouth, we have been informed of the arrival there of his Majesty's ship Valorous, yesterday. morning, from Mexico. The Valorous sailed from Sacrificios on the 21st April, and from Tampico on the, 25th. She has brought over , N. I%IICJ!ILENA, the Envoy.from the Mexican GoVernment to Great Britain, and letters froM the City of — Mexico to the 17th of April last. A strong be-lief prevailed in Mexico, that the Republic would be forthwith recognized by Great Britain. We are • not aware that there are any letters of inter vening dates between the _3()th of March and the 17th of April. The former state that every thing was tranquil atid favourable to the independence of the Republic.. The latter (of which there is only one), says that 64 no political event of importance has occurred." This certainly seems to falsify the news of the alleged appoint ment of a Dictator, as stated in the last Jamaica Papers. The dispatches for Government, brought by the Valorous (of which we shall pro bably be enabled to•speak to-morrow), will per haps clear up the, mystery: The Valorous has brought 700,000 dollars in specie, and 150 serous of - cochineaL • We have received the . Piirts . Papers of Tuesday . , and the. Eloile of WedtieSday, from,: Which ex tracts will . be fOurid - in our fourth - page. They contain a Note from !.:ir WILLIAM A'CouRT to the Miuister of FERDININD .V`II., disclaiming, on the part of the -British Government, all inter course or communication witlOTtnuatnz, during his residence in this country. 'This, as it appears to us, was a work of supererogation.; for the Ca binet of Madrid was much better acquainted with all the movements of ITURISIDr than the Cabinet of Loudon. These papers also contain a long report of M. de MAnTIGNAc .on that part of the Budget which includes the expellees of the year 18(23, and consequently of the war in Spain. This Ministerial Deputy, aware that M. tie ViLLELE has now greater dangers to encoun ter, and a more severe examination to undergo, than formerly, put himself in an attitude of de fence, and attempted to justify every item of the expenditure of the Spanish war. Even M. Ou- VRAttD, the Contractor, came in for a share of his advocacy and eulogies, though be admits ihat some of his contract, - ; are higher than those that could have been made, and subsequently were made, with others. Our Dover Letter this morning says, that no Expresses or other arrivals have been landed from France. Tin Fa! it n ON Mit. Ito-ritqcntLo.—The Te legraphic Dispatch transmitted to Paris from Lon don on Tuesday evening, at the request of Mr. Ro'rusculLD, reached Paris on Wednesday at two o'clock, and conseque4aly the most prompt measures would be adopted for preventing the ue. gociation 'of the bills fraudulently obtained from that Gentleman. The swindler passed through Calais only yesterday, on his route to Paris.— It is therefore certain that he will be arrested ; and if the bills were still in his possession, the whole of them will be recovered. We this day lay before our Readers the whole of the Speech of the Vice_President SANTANDER, the principal topics of which we adverted to yes terday. In the Lisbon Gazstie of the 4th inst. there is a long official document, the object of which is, in narrating the recent occurrences, to exculpate Don Miou el., by thewing that he had been made ay.. tool of certain crafty and desperate individuals. Letters from Santa Martha to the 12th of May state the arrival of Commissioners there from Hayti to the Colombian Government. This alone is sufficiently remarkable; but when it is added that these Commissioners come to offer a Loan of Five Millions of Dollars to the Govern ment of Colombia, the report oversteps the limits of probability. It is honourable enough to the Negro Republic to be able to enter into diplo matic relations with Foreign States, but it can hardly be expected that capital should already abound so much in Ilayti as to overflow, in the shape of loans, to other countries. A communication was yesterday afternoon made to the Gentlemen of the Stock Exchange, of important interest to the moneyed world ; from hich it appears that the Bank have determined to advance money, at the rate of 4 per cent. inte rest, upon Consuls and other British Funded Se curities, to the extent of three -fourths the amount pledged, at the current value of such Securities on the day on which such advance is made ; which loan is not to be for a less peridd than one month, nor exceeding six months duration. The Proprietors of Bank Stock may open a banking account upon their deposits of Stock to the same extent. It is also added, that the Bank will dis count bills at six months date. Dutch and German Mails have arrived.—An article from Frankfurt mentions the arrival of the Russian and Bavarian Pleni potentiaries Johannesb erg , an d that several oth ers were about to repair thith er , f ro m which cir cums t ance it is inferred th a t t h ere w ill really be at a kind of Mi nisterial Congress at that place,during the abode Of Prince METTERNICH. From Pett.rsburgh we are informed, that on the 27th ult. a new English church was consecrated at Cronstadt. The Eng- CHARLES BACOT, the Con sul Sir DANIE L BAILEY, and all the persons be longing to th e Embassy, were present on the oc casion. Thi s c h urc h is for the us e o f t h e E ng lish sailors at Cro ns t a dt, and has been built at the expense of the Russian Compa ny in London,— The King.of S WED EN has set out for Scania, to review the army encamped there. The Swiss Government has made a remonstrance Olds SAR DINIAN MAJESTY, on the subject of the new Tariff, which operates as a complete prohibition► with regard to Swiss linens and cottons. In the House of Peers last night the Marquis of LANsnowN inquired what steps had been taken by his Majesty's Ministers with respect to recognizing-the independence of the South Ame rican States. The Earl-of LivEaroot. answered in the same explicit manner that Mr. Secretary CIN . NING lately did in the Commons : " that every effort to induce Spain to take precedence of all other countries in making that recognition having failed, his Majesty's Government did not Conceive itself precluded by any obligation, moral, or of any other nature, from , recognizing the in dependence of the South American States, but felt itself as free both in policy and obligation of any kind towards Spain as it had done in the former instance towards•other States." He then stated that the only point on which the question now stood was the information expected to be received from the Commissioners sent to ascer tain whether the Governments of those States had acquired a degree of permanency which wo.:ld afford ;rounds for completing the recognition of their independence. The question was a com pletely open question, and his Majesty's Govern ment would act •on the information which they should receive on its arrival in the manner most consonant to the welfare of the country. By the ship Clyde, arrived in the Clyde from Demerara, we have received, at- . a late hour this forenooon, Demerara Papers to the 4th of May. Their contents are of some im portance. Sir BENJAMIN D'Un.u.Ax had assumed the Go vernment of the Colony, and issued a most energetic pro clamation, by command of his MAJESTY, warning the ne groes not to listen to the delusions spread amongst them about emancipation, and guarding them against the consequences of any act of insubordination. In one paragraph he says.:— ' I do therefore hereby declare to the Slaves my tirM determi nation to repress every appearance of insurrection and in the event (which I trust is most improbable) of any new revolt, 1 will not fair to put it down by the immediate and decided oper ation of the powerful military force now at my disposal, and by the same prompt and effectual measures which were employ ed by my Predecessor in the Government, and which have re ceived the most gracious approbation of His Illajesty."—(Glas gon! Courier, June 22.) THE TIT EA FRES. Kura's TUEATRE.—The season for Masque rades concluded last night with an entertainment of this kind, which was well attended. Thera was a variety of characters, and if there was not an abundance of wit, there was at least a predo minance of hilarity. It was proposed that a game of chess should be performed by real men instexd of the customary pieces. But this per formance was of too grave and dull a cast for a scene devoted to mirth and conviviality. An ample supper was provided, and the contents of the dishes were removed by the avidity of the guests almost as soon as if by the wand that dis appointed poor Sancho. The company remained till a late hour. DRURY-LANE.—Mr. ELLICTON last night re sumed the part of She' in the Comedy of The Jew, one of his earliest performances ou the Lon don Boards, and, on account of the illness of Mr. DOWTON, the Farce of Sylvester Duggerwood was represented instead of The Merry Mourners, which had been announced.—Mr. &adsTON, in the former piece, performed the Dunstable liero with his usual spirit, as well as Shevu in the with his usual accuracy.--CATALAN I added to the attraction of the evening, and the house was well attended. • COVENT-GARDEN.—The Comedy of The Clan destine Marriage, and the Farce of High Life Below Stairs, were last night represented at this Theatre for the Benefit of Mr. FARREN. The dramatic pieces were followed by a Masquerade, in which Mr. FARKEN brought forward many characters well known in London, among whom were the Swiss Giantess, REEVE, of the Adelphi Theatre, young GRIMALDI, a Rope-dancer, YATES, as the Dandy of a Regiment, and others, who all displayed their various talents, and af forded abundant amusement to a numerous au dience. MADAME RONZI DE BEGNIS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. A report having been industriously circulated that Madame RoNzr Du BEGNIS had refused to sing in the part of Giuletta, in the Opera of Romeo e Giuktla, in consequence of which the indisposition, which obliged her to postpone the representation of the Opera of La Donna del Lugo, which was to have taken place for her own benefit, was called in doubt by uninformed per sons, Madame R __ONZI DC BEGNIII considers her self called upon to state, that being a little better on the Saturday previous to Madame PASTA'S be nefit on the Monday following, she not only of fered herself to take the part alluded to, that evening (though a very short time intervened), but even on any future evening. 37, Golden-square, June 24, 1824. Bayonne letters of the date of the 15th inst. have been received. They contain a Proclama tion of the King of SPAIN, which appeared in the Madrid Gazette of the Bth, calling upon the Spa nish people to be pacific and well-disposed ; and, above all, to act with good will and cordiality towards the troops of France. Last evening, at seven o'clock, the KING left his Palace in Pall-mall, in his carriage, with four footmen in their state liveries, escorted by a party of the Life Guards, and proceeded through St. James's Park to the Duke of VVELLINGTON'S to dinner. The Duke of YORK also dined with the Noble Duke. Yesterday the Duke of YORK and the Princess AUGUSTA visited the KING. The LORD CHANCELLOR had an audience of his MAJESTY yesterday. On Wednesday the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE dined with SirJAMES and Lady GRA.. lIAM, at their residence, in Portland-place.
