" Her Majesty the Queen Regent of Spain, during the minority of her daughter, Isabella 11., Queen of Spain, and his imperial Majesty the Duke of Braganza, Regent of the kingdoms of Portugal and the Algarves, in the name of Donna Maria 11. : " Perfectly convinced that the interest and safety of the two Crowns require the vigorous and immediate employ ment of reciprocal efforts to put an end to hostilities, which, having been at first directed to the overthrow of the throne of her Portuguese Majesty, now afford support and protection to the discontented subjects of Spain, their said Majesties, desirous at the same time of providing the means necessary for re-establishing peace and internal hap piness, and of fixini , the future prospects of the two coun tries upon a solid and reciprocal basis, have agreed to unite their forces with a view to compel the Infante Don Carlos of Spain, and the Infante Don Miguel of Portugal, to quit the domains of the latter kingdom. " In pursuance of these conventions their Majesties the Regents have applied to their Majesties the King of the French and the King of Great Britain and Ireland. These two last Princes, considering the interest they ought always to take in the safety of the Spanish monarchy, and ani mated by the most ardent desire to contribute to the esta blishment of peace in the Peninsula as well as in Europe ; and his Britannic Majesty, considering, besides, the special obligations which emanate from his ancient alliance with Portugal, have consented to act as parties to the said treaty. " To this effect their Majesties have appointed their Plenipotentiaries in the following order Her Majesty the Queen Regent of Spain—Don Ma nuel Pardo Fernandez de Pinedo Conde de Villa Paterna y de Florida Blanca, her Minister . Plenipotentiary to his Bri tannic Majesty. " His Majesty the King of the . French—Prince Talley rand, his ambassador at the Court of London. " His Majesty the King of Great Britain and Ireland— Viscount Palmerston, his Minister for Foreign Affairs. " His Imperial. Majesty the Duke of Braganza—Don Christobal Pedro de Moraes Sarmento, his Envoy Extra ordinary to the Court of London. " And the Plenipotentiaries have agreed upon the fol lowing articles : " Art. 1. His Imperial Majesty the Duke of Braganza, in the name of Queen Donna Maria 11., engages to put in action all the means in his power to drive the Infante Don Carlos from the Portuguese dominions. " 2. Her Majesty the Queen of Spain, on the applica tion and request of his Imperial Majesty the Duke of Bra ganza, having, besides very just and very serious reproaches against the Infante Don Miguel for the support lie has af forded the Infante Don Carlos of Spain, engages herself to send upon the Portuguese territory a sufficient number of Spanish troops to co-operate with those of his Imperial Majesty in compelling Dan Carlos of Spain and Don Mi guel to quit the Portuguese territory ; the Queen of Spain engaging, moreover, to support, on her own account, and without any charge upon Portugal, the Spanish troops, which shall every where be received and treated in the same manner as the troops of his Im perial Majesty the Duke of Braganza. And her Majesty engages to withdraw her troops from Portugal immediately after the expulsion of the two Infantes shall be accomplished, and when the presence of these troops shall be no longer required by her Most Faithful Majesty of Portugal. "3. His Majesty the King of Great Britain engages to co-operate, by employing a naval force to second the operations and other measures rendered necessary by this treaty. " 4. In case the co-operation of France shall be deemed necessary by the high contracting parties, his Majesty the King of the French engages to do all which his august al lies shall in common accord determine upon. " 5. The high contracting Powers have agreed that, in consequence of the terms of the preceding articles, a de claration shall be immediately issued, announcing to the Portuguese nation the principles and object of the present treaty ; and his Imperial Majesty the Duke of Braganza, animated with a sincere desire of effacing all remembrance of the past, and of rallying around the throne of his daughter the whole nation, declares his intention of pub lishing a general and complete amnesty in favour of all the subjects of her Most Faithful Majesty, who shall, within a time to be fixed, return to their allegiance. And the said Regent also declares it to be his intention to insure to the Infante Don Miguel, as soon as he shall have left the Portuguese and Spanish territories, an in come suitable to his rank and birth. " 6. Her Majesty the• Queen of Spain, by this present article, declares her intention to insure to the Infante Don Carlos, as soon as he shall have left the Portuguese and Spanish territories, an income suitable to his rank and birth. " 7. This present treaty shall be ratified, and the ratifi cations exchanged at London in a month or sooner if pos sible. " In faith of which, the four above-named Plenipoten tiaries have hereunto affixed their hands and seals at Lon don, this 22d day of April, 1834.

The ,1; a r 1 of HARROWBY presented petitions frorp wishes in York, against the Beer Bill. CRIMINAL CODE. Viscount MELVILLE presented petitions from Dalkeith, for a revision of the Criminal Code. COMMON FIELDS ENCLOSURE BILL. On the motion of Lord ELLENBOROUGH, the Common Fields Enclosure Bill passed through com mittee, and the report was ordered to be received on Monday. COUNTY CORONERS BILL. On the motion of Lord WHARNCLIFFE, the County Coroners Bill was read a second time, and or dered to be committed on Monday. The Earl of WINCHIL SEA gave notice that on Monday next he would present a most nume rously signed petition, praying that Protestants in the army abroad might be relieved from attend ing or assisting in Roman Catholic processions or ceremonies. He also wished to know whether the noble earl (Grey) would have any objec tion to lay a copy of the proceedings of a court martial, held upon an officer whose name escaped us, for a remonstrance to his superior officer when or dered on duty for such a purpose. Earl GREY said the courtmartial had been held upon the officer alluded to in consequence of a breach of orders. He believed it would be inconvenient to lay the proceedings before the house—such a thing was unusual. The Duke of WELLINGTON said a few words, but in so low a tone of voice as to be almost inaudible. We understood him to say that he had looked over the proceedings of the courtmartial, and found them to be quite correct, as the officer alluded to had most clearly committed a breach of orders. He did not think it would be proper that the proceedings should be produced. Numerous petitions for support to the Established Church were presented by Earl HOWE from places in the county of Leicester, and by the Bishop of EXETER from parishes in the county of Devon. The Earl of ROSEBERRY presented a petition from Brecon, against church patronage. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said that on a former evening in the absence of the noble earl (Grey), he had asked the noble marquis ( Lans downe) a question relative to the time the house might expect to receive a copy of the ratified treaty, with regard to the Peninsula. On that occasion, he was very jocular, and, though he gave him no inform ation in regard to his question, he told him that his friend Don Miguel was coming to this coun try, and was then safe on board an English ship of war. In that it now turned out he was misinformed, and was not so well aware of what was going on as from his position he ought to be. However, letting that pass, he now wished to ask what the Government intended to do with the Illustrious Prince who had been detained at Portsmouth for above a week ? The person and the case of that Prince were of very deep interest to the whole of Europe. How long he had been detained there unnecessarily he did not know, but he saw it rumoured very widely, that there had been a sort of mission sent down to Ports mouth, in fact, that an Under-Secretary of State had been there trying by intimidation, or some other means, to induce that illustrious prince to give up that which was his birthright. ( Hear.) Those reports were so general that he thought he was doing the noble earl a great service in giving him an opportunity of nega tiving them. He would contend that that prince was as much entitled to the protection and the hospitality of this country as Charles the Tenth, or any other unfortunate prince who had been driven into it. He trusted the time had not arrived when a British go vernment would force a prince to abandon his birth right by any means whatever. He hoped the house would be favoured with some satisfactory answer, in order that these rumours and statements might be put to rest. Earl GREY said he was much afraid that in what he had then to say, he should give the noble marquis as little satisfaction- as it had been his misfor< tune to do on other occasions. In the- outset h e must disclaim that it was the duty of govern ment to make statements in that house, merely because other statements had been made or appeared in other places. There had been a mission to Portsmouth, but with respect to the object of it, or to what passed there, if the noble mar quis (Londonderry) would bring forward a motion upon the subject, he (Earl Grey) would be prepared to meet him ; at present he would say no more than that Don Carlos, whether he was or was not the proper and legitimate heir to the Crown, whatever might be his situation, or whatever might be the consequences of that situation, had been re ceived here as a Prince of the Blood Royal of Spain, and would be treated with all the respect belonging to him in that character. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said, that so far as regarded the respect shown to Don Carlos, by some of the reports he had seen, it ap peared that he had been obliged to take a hackney coach. ( Laughter. ) The house had never yet been made aware of what had made the Government depart from that neutrality to which they stood pledged, both to the parliament and the country. He would most distinctly ask whether the mission was not for the purpose of getting Don Carlos, either by intimidation or by promises, to give up that right which he most undoubtedly had to the throne,of Spain ? Earl GREY said ? in a sharp manner—Whenever the ratifications are received in a proper state, they will be laid before the house, and if the noble earl will then bring forward a motion, I will most undoubtedly be prepared to meet him. The Earl of ELDON rose to call their lord ships' attention to a very unusual circumstance that had taken place in their House that day, and which he believed had occurred once before, namely, that judgment had been given in cases in the absence of th e no bl e l ord on the woolsack, or any one who was appointed by commission to be the Deputy Speaker. He would take the liberty of saying there was nothing that he had more at heart than to see the business of the House of Lords conducted in the course and in the manner it had been so long conducted, be, cause he would venture to say that the esteem and respect of the subjects of this country, for the House of Lords, as a Court of Judicature, was greater than fo r any other tribunal in the country. It was ne cessary and proper that the interests of the suitors should be properly adjudicated upon, - and he should give notice of a motion to the effect that no appeal should be heard without a certain number of law lords being present. ( Hear, hear.) The LORD CHANCELLOR was quite sure that his noble and learned friend was aware that no one felt more strongly than he did that the greatest possible cue should be taken to keep in due and regular form, and according to the ordinary Iscrra of proceeding, the judicial business of that house but it was perfectly well known that he was not to its there that day, for he had made an appointment to sit at ten o'clock in the morning at Lincoln's Inn Hall, to hear an appeal, in which the suitors and the parties from the country were kept wait ing in town. It was well known that, in con sequence of the necessary absence of the Chancel lor, who was the principal Speaker of the house, the Crown had always, by commission, given the power generally to a Deputy Speaker to sit and perform the office of Speaker. He was quite sure his noble and learned friend did not mean to.say there had never been before a Deputy Speaker, because, while the noble and learned lord held the great seals, he (the Lord Chancellor) had argued times without number cases before his deputies who consisted of the Lord Chief Baron of the Ex chequer, the Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench, and his Honour the Master of the Rolls. There had been a commission given to more than one on the present occasion. Among the com missioners were two noble lords, who had belonged to the profession of the law, the noble earl who was chairman of the committee of that house, and who did not belong to the profession of the law. He believed there had been some misunderstanding, because his noble friend the Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench, had been unexpectedly detained in another place. There certainly was no law lord present when the learned judges gave judgment ; the consequence of which was, that they would either have to give their opinions to a lay lord, which seemed to strike his learned and noble friend as something too horrible to be borne ( Hear and laughter), or they would have to go away and come back on another occasion. Ho begged leave to observe, he was not answerable for their having given their opinions to a lay lord. He was not there at the time, but the moment he heard of it, his answer was, that if the Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench were still detained, let him know, and he would break up the Court of Chancery, and go down to the House of Lords instantly. He hoped his noble and learned friend would reflect a little before he made his motion, for he (the Lord Chancellor), could not possibly help thinking, upon constitutional grounds, regard being had to the nature of the functions of that house, it would be very awkward, not to say impossible, for them, to put upon their shoulders a resolution which amounted to this, that the whole of the peers were not competent to discharge the judicial business of that house. If the house adopted the resolution of which his noble friend had given notice, it would deprive itself of the exercise of one of the highest functions it could possibly exercise, without the presence of the nominee of the Crown. He would put it upon consti tutional grounds, whether the house would for the first time admit that the Crown had a right to interfere in the performance of the judicial functions of the house. It was true that the house issued the commis sion for the appointment of a Deputy Speaker, but it was equally as true that the house could at any time name a Deputy Speaker for a day or an hour. If it was meant to be said that the Speaker or Deputy Speaker should be present before the house put its question to 'the judges, that was nearly as much as saying, " Don't put a question to the judges, don't take upon you judicial business, without the presence of a law lord." Now that he (the Lord Chancellor) objected to. The constitution of the country might be badly contrived, but by the constitution lay lords as Well as law lords had a right to judge of all legal matters in that house ; that was the legal and constitu tional view of the subject. For these reasons he hoped that his noble and learned friend would re-consider the subject before he brought forward his mo tion, pointing out such distinctions as he had ad verted to. Having made these observations he felt himself bound to put their lordships in possession of some of the facts of the case. A case came before the house, in which the Judges came to a unanimous decision ; no judgment of the house was then given, but that of the judges was taken. The decision of the house on the subject was given yesterday when he was present, in which he took no small part, and in which exemplary justice was done, by the appeal being dismissed with costs. ( Hear, hear.) In the other case the parties bringing the appeal abandoned their case, and the Judges dismissed the appeal with costs. Such was the state in which matters stood, he agreed with the noble lord, that it would be much better if some of the deputy speakers were present, but if they were engaged elsewhere no other course could be adopted. The Earl of ELDON could assure the house that nothing personal to his noble friend on the woolsack had induced him to bring the subject forward ; his only anxiety was that the forms of the house should be observed. He was satisfied that it was his duty to make the motion of which he had given notice. When he filled the office of Lord Chancellor, he never left the woolsack without making arrangements to fill the seat in hit absence. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had nothing to do with what happened two days ago. The judges might have been impatient in not waiting half an hour for him. If he, as Lord Chancellor, was detained half an hour in the Court of Chancery, it was the duty of the judges to wait for him. Earl GREY reminded the house that they had irregu larly entered upon the discussson of a question on the notice of a motion. He thought they had better wait for the proper opportunity. The Duke of CUMBERLAND observed that the con versation would be of great advantage with regard to the judicial proceedings of the house. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY said a few words, ac counting for his absence. Lord DENMAN, as Deputy Speaker under the com mission, informed the house that he was unable to leave the Court of King's Bench at the moment the presence of a Deputy Speaker was required in that house. He was sent for, but at the moment a criminal cause was before him, and it was impossible to leave the court. (Hear, hear.) If the judgment had not been regularly given, it might be set right. He would only add, that he was sure that no impatience on the part of the learned judges had led to the transaction. After a few words from the Earl of ELDON in reply, the subject was dropped. PRISON DISCIPLINE. Lord WHARNCLIFFE rose for the purpose of moving an address to the Crown, to appoint a commission of in quiry into the state of the prisons. The noble lord con tended that the system of prison discipline was wrong, and that offenders came out of the prisons in most. instances worse than they went in. The progress of crime in this country was alarming. It appeared that there had been a great increase in the commitments and convictions in the county where he presided ; the convictions had increased in three years from 260 to 960. He thought the time had come to put things on a better footing, and that was the object of his motion. Mr. Peel's bill had certainly not de creased the number of crimes. In many instances persons who were sent to prison for want of sureties, were asso ciated with vagabonds guilty of misdemeanors and crimes of the worst description. The noble lord read the report of the French commissioners on the present state of the Nor thern States of America. From that report it appeared that in those States where education was most extensive, there was an increase of crime. The noble lord merely threw out that fact in order that the question might be raised, vfhether , education among certain classes did or did not unsettle the mind, and drive persons to commit crime. With respect to the treatment of prisoners, in order to prevent contamination in gaols, he considered solitary confinement and profound silence.one of the best modes of accomplishing that object. (Hear, hear. ) The magistrates found that silence and solitude broke the spirit of the most vicious offenders. That mode of punish ment had answered every purpose in America. In Penn sylvania the prisoner was placed in solitary confinement. Ile had a place for exercise, and the preservation of health, but the door was closed upon him until the expiration of the term of his imprisonment. In most cases the pri soners came out reformed. The noble lord expressed a hope that he might see penitentiaries established all over the country. They had one at Millbank, well adapted for the purposes of secondary punishment, and he considered the discipline very proper. Viscount MELBOURNE said he almost agreed with all the sentiments of the noble lord (Wharncliffe) who had brought forward the present motion, and he trusted that their lordship s an d th e w ell-disposed portion of the pudic would co-operate, in order that some effectiv : e measure might be introduced. He held in his hand a return of the number of committals since the year 1810 until the year. 1816 ; the average amount of whiellwas 6,Q15 annually ; from 1816 to 1821, the amount was 12,945, or 102 per cent, increase, which in his opinion was to be attributed to the circumstance of the tatter years being year of peace ; from 1822 t 0 .1827 the increase was only 12 per The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that there was no- thing in the increase of crime to cause regret in the minds of their lordships. It was owing to other causes than an increased ratio of immorality. It was wrong to assume :hat the ratio of crime was in accordance with the progress of education. How was it, then, when knowledge had been going on—when education, of some sort or other, was proceeding with rapid paces, that there really was an inorcase of crime? Merely because that within the last century the population of England and Wales had nearly doubled. Much of crime was also to be attributed to the ❑umber 'a oaths required, which had a direct and imme diate tendency to the commission of the crime of perjury. He also attributed much of the present state of crime to the mal-administration of the poor laws. It was in vain that he and others of their lordships founded schools and circulated useful books, so long as the poor laws continued to be abused. As well might a person think to destroy the deleterious effects of a cup of arsenic cr prussic acid by throwing in a few drops of water, a% to check immorality by such means, so long as the poor laws were abused in the manner to which he had al luded. (Hear, hear.) He considered that the legislature had a right to inflict capital punishment, but only where there was an expediency for the same, and a certainty that it was the only punishment commensurate with the crime. There were many crimes deserved the punishment of death, besides murder; could any man deny that the crime of rape ought not to be as severely dealt with ? He doubted the efficacy of transportation as a general punish ment ; for to some men it was no punishment at all ; let it, therefore, be measured out so warily as to be penal to those upon whom it was inflicted. He thought it might be improved by the abolition of leave tickets and condonation by the Governor. He considered solitary imprisonment as a Fiore effectual mode of punishment. Lord SUFFIELD bore testimony to the great improve ments in the discipline of county prisons, although he de nied that much good had arisen from the classification of prisoners ; it was desirable, however, that the hardened criminal should be kept apart from the younger and less experienced offender. He highly approved of that part of the motion suggesting the appointment of inspectors of prisons._ The Duke of RICHMOND expressed his thanks to his noble friend (Lord Wharncliffe) for bringing forward the present question. He trusted another session would not be allowed to pass over without some definite measure being introduced. He deprecated the system of Justices of the county sending boys and juvenile offenders to prison for one day, which of itself served to contaminate the mind without being actually a punishment. He entreated his nobly friend opposite to withdraw his motion for the present. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE expressed a similar sentiment, especially after the explanatory discussion which had taken place. He could speak favourably of a system of labour and silence which had been practised for the last. 14 months in the prisons of the county (Wilts) in which he resided. Although he was satisfied all the good antici pated by_ men of sanguine minds. from an improved system of education, had not been realised, still he should be sorry to see that experiment abandoned. (Hear. ) Lord DENMAN said that the justices of the country were convinced that any power as regarded the regulation of the prisons, should rest entirely with the secretary of state. He was inclined to doubt that crime had increased to the extent which had been stated. The number of prosecutions, perhaps, only marked an anxious desire to obtain the costs of those prosecutions. He deprecated the practice of indiscreetly filling prisons with juvenile offenders, who rarely or never left a prison without being more or less contaminated. He trusted that a bill which had been brought up from the Commons, having for its object the more speedy trial of offenders, would receive their lordships' assent some day next week, for it was absurd to think of a person committed in August for steal ing an apple or a bunch of raisins remaining in prison till March. (Hear.) With regard to secondary punish ments he had one remark to make, viz., that where a sen tence of transportation was passed upon any individual for abstracting property, perpetual execution, at the suit of the party offended against, ought to lie against the offender. Lord WHARNCLIFFE replied, and withdrew hi s motion. Adjourned at a quarter to ten HOUSE OF COMMONS, June 20. The SPEAKER took the chair at 25 minutes past fire o'clock. Colonel EVANS brought up the report of the Ge neral Steam Navigation Company's Bill. Mr. C. WOOD moved for new writs for the borough of Finsbury, and the stewartry of Kirkcud bright. Colonel WOOD presented some petitions from parishes in Westminster, against drunkenness and for the better observance of the Sabbath. Mr. L E NNA RD presented a petition from parishes in Essex, in favour of Dissenters. Mr. CLAY presented a petition from Limehouse relative to the Commissioners of Sewers. Lord H E NNIKE R presented petitions from parishes in the county of Suffolk, against the claims of Dis senters. Lord CHANDOS presented petitions from parishes in Buckingham and Lancaster, against the claims of Dissenters. Mr. GOULBURN presented a petition from 1 1 1 resident members of the senate of the University of Cambridge, against the admission of the Dissenters' Bill. Mr. SHAW moved the first reading of the bill for the more effectual service of processes in the Court of Chancery. DISSENTERS. Mr. 0. W. WOOD moved the second reading of the bill for the admission of Dissenters into Universities. Mr. E STC 0 URT rose to oppose the motion; but in consequence of the noise prevailing in the house, the first few sentences of the hon. member were quite inaudible. According to the proposition of the honourable member opposite, if the system of edu cation pursued at the universities was good, it ought to be extended ; that was a self-evident proposition, which he (Mr. Estcourt) did not mean to controvert, but he suspected that the hon. member had behind his back another proposition, the object of which was to affect the system of edu cation now pursued at the universities of Oxford and Cambridge. (Hear, hear.) If the system at present pursued was good, he (Mr. E.) would be the first to assist him in extending it, but he feared that it was not the system which the lion, member ad vocated. The system pursued at the universities was strictly and essentially a religious one, and he feared that the object of the hon. member was to de stroy it. (Hear, hear.) If there was any doubt upon that point, lie believed it had been settled at a recent meeting of a very large body of the Dis senters, at which the hon. member for Leeds was pre sent. That hon. gentleman had stated that the Dissenters did not want the degree of Doctor of Divinity, but they certainly did wish to enjoy the privileges of the universities, so far as professor ships and scholarships went. The hon, gentleman hav ing stated that as the opinion of the dissenters,could there be a question that their object was to destroy the system of education pursued there ? He believed the real ob ject of the Dissenters was ultimately to put an end to what was termed the unjust and unnatural union exist ing between the church and the state. (Hear, hear.) The hon. gentleman denies this, but if he does not say so there are others who do. ( Cries of " Hear, lifer.") He would say therefore that it was the evident inten tion of the hon. member to demolish and destroy the established church ; and how did he mean to proceed? First, they were to give the people a reli gious education, meaning it to be understood that there was a want of religious education at this moment. He (Mr. Estcourt) would assert that the academic education was essentially religious, and that it was impossible to separate religion from the pre sent system of education, because religion was the basis of education ; and to the degree that they counteracted or weakened religious education, to the same degree they undermined education itself. What were the reasons for this application ? Had there been any complaints, and who were they that objected to the pre sent system of education? Perhaps the hon. gentleman ( Mr. Wood, we believe) supposed that there was some difficulty in obtai n i ng young Inca to enter the university. So far from that being the case, every part of the university was overflowing, and those interested in any change in the present system of education, were per fectly satisfied with that which was, by this bill, sought to be taken from them. If it were intended that education should be confined to the communication of information upon great d sci nu e g n e c r e a d dni li i t t e ti r n a g tu d re, isse t n h t e e r r e s t w o od then be no in the universities, but where the education was essentially religious it was impossible that dissenter; should be admitted with out the apprehension of the most serious consequences. It was impossible to carry on a religious education where theca were persons of a different persuasion at Qua 4piversity witlkQuk @he cmpronaise of religious
