• lostance. 'be Right Hon. Gentleman had a , •licrt . a nee obrxvverl upon the impropriety of discussions of this Boit ire he absence of full information 'on the subject. Now one of these matters had, on a former occasion, been befrvre the House, and inquiries had been despatclred to Ireland, and this discussion was again introdncea before t-rto.ire was a possibility of getting an ans Wee to them. The Ise of Kilkenny was that to , :',•hich he alltuled; and Alioult it was known that 7...ntrrers could not yet have been received, yet were thest attacks made day by d iy, without riving the Government time to obtain those explanations, which, when procured, wauld, lie trusted, be found quite !satisfactory ; hut which, if -they .did not prove 80j he sir u trot wish to be concleslve; for there was no man in that. House who Nik-cold be wore eager than himself to fvvrvent the recurrence of any improper interference in the -administration of justice.—(Hear, hear.) With respect the prest.nt recommendation of the Right Hon.. Gen- Iletuan to grant a Committee of Inquiry, he must 'expre.gsi his derided opinion that, not only a plausible, but - a very strong case indeed, ought to be made out, before it was re ferred to a Committee of that House, to revise a decision of a Court of Justice.—(Bear, hear.) If there was rtay thing improper in the proceeding, he did not think a Com mittee of that House the proper tribunal to decide upon it ; but he was of opinion that the remedy ought to pro ceed from the Government in their executive capacity. Sir R. PEEL had not intended to recommend that . a judicial decielon should be submitted to a Committee of that House. The charge was, that the early forms of the proceedings had been corrupted by the interference of the Goverr,ment , Officers. He recommended a Committee to inquire into that subject. After a few words from Sir J. M. Davtt, the petition was laid upon the table. Mr. BROWNLOW was surprised at some of the ob servations which had fallen from the Nebi Lord (the Member for Northamptonshire) on the subject of this peti tion. The Noble Lord had desired them to pause before they introduced poor laws into Ireland ; and had alleged that by the introduction of these laws, they would but disturb the charitable feeling of the ditrfrent classes there. There was no ground whatever for such an alarm ; but unless a measure of that sort was introduced, that cha ritable feeling would be •of little avail. IO the present state of Ireland, the whole weight of the support of the poor fell upon the middle classet, and upon those of the labouring classes, only just above the .pop• themselves. This was a great grieVartee and injus tice ; and it was a matter of serious complaint In the peo - which he had . had the honour to present to the House. The petitioners urged the House to take the weight of the burden of• maintaining the poor off the shoulders of the labouring classes ; on whom it now entirely rested, and put it upon the rich. He supported the prayer of that petition, and called upon the House to take the bur den from the labour and industry of the country and put it upon property—to make the property of Ireland re sponsible for the poverty of Ireland. When they heard, as they had done lately, that where 80,0001. was drawn from Ireland, only SOL bad been subscribed by the hard hearted absentees to relieve the distresses of the people, there could be but one feeling that some measure was ne cessary to compel those persons to contribute to the relief of the distresses of those hard-worked labourers from whose industry they obtained their own enormous wealth. Mr. O'CONNELL, notwithstanding what had been said, felt himself hound in duty, every day, to press the subject of the administration of justice in Ireland upon the attention of the House. It was very well for Ministers to assume a haughty tone, but it would be much better if they took some steps to remedy the grievances of Ireland. Eight human lives had been lost, and not a policeman had been removed. Mr. STANLEY begged leave to contradict the Hon. Member; in point of fact, every policeman engaged in the affair had been removed from the county. Mr. O'CONNELL—That the Right Hon. Gentleman was pleased to call a contradiction in point of fact / The ' men might have been removed to another county, but they had not been removed from the police ; they were retained to shoot more of the King's suhjects.—(Cheers.) Government had promised a great deal for Ireland, and performed nothing. Mr. WAYLAND vindicated the lower orders of Eng land against the charges brought against them on the sub ject of the Poor Laws, and contended that in England there were as many absentee proprietors as in Ireland ; the dif ference was, that in England absentees were made to sup port the poor out of their property, in Ireland they con tributed nothing ; hence the poor in England were con tented, and in Ireland always ripe for disturbance. Mr. SAILER contended that the time was come when Government ought to act, and not to deliberate. It was then ordered that the petition be printed. SLAVERY. Mr. BRISCOE (before the House went into a Com mittee on the Reform Bill) wished to ask the Noble Lord whether what be had seen in the public Journals was true, viz.—that Ministers had sent out directions to the Governor of Berhice and other colonies, for the immediate liberation of the slaves? Lord ALTHORP had beard nothing of the suhject till now ; but could venture to say, in the absence of the Noble Under-Secretary for the Colonies, that there was not the slightest truth i❑ the statement. REFORM. Lord ALTHORP moved that the House resolve itse: into the Committee on the Reform Bill. On the question that the Speaker leave the Chair, Sir F. BLAKE took occasion to complain of the man • nee in which his constituency of Berwick-upon-Tweed would be reduced by the Bill, and to recommend that three neighbouring places be added to it in order to com pensate the borough for what it would lose. The. SPEAKER then left the chair, and the House re solved itself into the Committee. Mr: F. LEWIS referred to what had passed last night relative to the parish of Presteign, part of which was in Wales and part in Herefordshire. He wished that part which- was in Herefordshire to he excluded from the operation of the Bill. Lord ALTHORP was desirous to hear the reasons for the change before he consented to it. Mr. F. LEWIS said that the inhabitants of that por tion of Presteign which was in I lerefordshire were merely rural, had no sympathy with Wales, and did not wish to be included. Lord ALTIIORP added, that if such were the case he should have no objection to except it. Mr. WYNN called the attention of the Noble Lord to the fact, that a large part of Wrexham consisted merely of rural population, and that the population of the town only ought to be admitted. Sir-E. LLOYD said a few words on the same point. The question was then put, that that part of the parish of Presteign which was situated in the county of Hereford should not be included in schedule F. The amendment was agreed to. The question wa4 then put severally upon the four first divisions of schedule F, including various Welsh towns, to share in representation with Beaumaris, Cardigan, Caer marthen, and Caernarvon. When the Chairman as rived at the question that Ruthin, Holt, and Wrexham share with Denbigh, Sir W. W. WYNN was understood to repeat the objec tion previously stated by Mr. Wynn, as to the admission of the rural population of Wrexham. 'r. Alderman WAITHMAN, on the other hand, argued (if we heard him rightly) that the whole population of Wrexham ought to be embraced by the measure. After a-few further remarks across the table, in a tone of vaice quite inaudible, from Mr. C. Pelham, Sit W.W. Wynn, Mr. Goulhurn, Lord Althorp, Mr. Kenyon, and Mr. Wynn, the amendment was agreed to for- including (we believe) the whole parish of Wrexham ; and the original question that Ruthin, Holt, and the parish of Wrexham share with Denbigh was put and carried. The next question was that Rhyddlan, Overton, Garwis, Caergonly, St. Asaph, Holywell and Mold sharing with Flint, should stand part of the clause. After a short conversation, in which Sir E. LLOYD, Mr. J. STANLEY, and others, took part, that part of the cianse was agreed to. The next question was, that Llandaff, Cowbridge, Met , thyr Tydvil, Aberdare, and Llantrissant sharing with Car diff, stand part of the clause. Colonel WOOD said, that it became his duty to bring wider the consideration of the House the case of Merthyr Tydvil. Its importanc e was well known. Its population war numerous and respectable, and taken with that of the ad. joining hamlet, amounted to 19,250 inhabitants. The town was certainly separated from that hamlet by a small brook,- over which he hoped the Committe e would not hesitate to s t e p. He compared the population of Merthyr Tydvil and its vicinity with that of several ether places, to which for mer clauses of the Bill gave representativ sa , • to 'show that it had much greater claims than they.' contained 680 101. houses. When annexed to Cardiff it would lose.thafidiare which it had hitherto had in the elections for the county of Glamorgan. The places . with which - it was to be joined bad no connexion with it whatever. Some of them being entirely separated from it by atiourrtains, and Cardiff being distant from it nearly 25 miles, and . haviiiginte , r: s s ii t_s not only distinct from those of Merthyr, butalmost r! ing with them. B'dtles (as we undarstood. him). he ! ob jected to overwhelming the constituency' of Cardiff, which had itself a right to a distinct representation , being the county town of Glamorganshire, and an impot tint, rising, and populous place, He wag 110 t we of those who would '4E4 mutual dependence tit tht agricultural and manufac turing interests upon each other ; and he considered the 'case of M..rtli' d , r Tydvil an instance of that mutual depen rl,ence. Whenever the manufactures of that town were flourishing, the agricultural_ districts forty miles around it partook of its prosperity. He would submit the case to the consideration of the Committee, although the House was thinly attended; should move that Merthyr Tydvil be left out of the schedule.—(Hear.) - At a future stage the till, he should move that Merthyr Tydvil and the adjoining hamlet be taken as one borough, and as such re turn a Member to Parliament.—(Hear, hear.) - Lord J. STUART should consider hiMself inexcusable lit I.e omitted to support the prop,sition of the Hon. - Gentleman opposite. In I 1, Cardiff contained a polio- • lotion of more then :3,000 inhabitants. In the present year it has more than 6,000 ; amongst whom there are three hundred and sixty ten-pound i ciuseholders. Taking same of the other pli , er.s pinposed to be annexed to it, there woull h'o a constituency of more than five hundred ten-pound householders, should Merthyr Tydvll, as the Hon. Gentleman proposed, be ontittvii. Looking to the way in which his Noble rrlbul had proceeded in respect to the counties of England, he could not find any reason for his pronedings as to the counties of Wales. Having eirn so many Members to Staffordshire, why should the Noble Lord deal so sparingly with Glamorganshire, which was quite as important as the former 'county, in that which might he called the staple trade of the . i:ountry--the iron trade ? Lord ALTHORP ligreeeel with his Hon. Friend opposite that Merthyr tedeli was an important town, and that it ought not to be left wholly to virtual representation. It wee or that reason that ite(Loref AVi.horp) was desirous of annexing it to Giulia', which its interests were closely connect...oh:anti with which it had a direct commercial commonfe - ition. But if it were said that that repreeenta tien \vas not sufficient, he would reply. that on the show ing of the Hon. Gentleman opposite himself, the interests of the agricultural districts forty miles around were inter. woven with thess. of Merthyr Tydvil, and that therefore the Meenteore for Glamorganshire and Monmouthshire wonld he neglecting the intereato of their own constituents if they neglected those of That town. Comparing it with the rest of the peitscipality of Wales, he thought it would have its fair share of representation. Colonel WOOD explained. - Mr. JEPHSON was understood to say, that although desirous of supporting the general principles of the Bill, he felt bound to vote foe the motion of the Hon. Gentleman opposites Mr. TALBOT (as we understood, speaking under the gallery), supported the amendment. Sir II HARDINGE said, that if the Noble Lord, the framer of the Bill, bad any regard to his own principle of population, he would ttot refuse a Member to a place con taining nearly 16,000 inhabitants, at the same time that he gave two representatives to other places, on the ground that they had 4,000 inhabitants.—(Hear.) He could not but feel that nothing was more unfair than to annex to Cardiff Merthyr Tidvil, a town which lay at the distance of twenty five miles from it, While Gateshead, though so near New castle, Walt not annexed to that place. He hoped the Go %Trots-tont would pay some attention to the petitions which had been presented upon this subject, especially when it was recollected that the population of Merthyr Tidvil amounted, in 1821, to 17,000, and was now no less than 28,000. Mr. CB.OKER repeated the observations of the pre ending speaker, and particularly urged upon the considera tion of the Government the population and trade of Merthyr Tidvil. Mr. WILLIAMS said, that there were many districts in South Wales not adequately represented, and he therefore fully concurred in the proposition of the Hon. Member for Brecknockshire. Mr. J. E. STANLEY (as we understood) observed that Merthyr Tidvil and Cardiff were snore closely con nected than were Cardiff and Swansea. For Isis part, he should support the arrangement made by the Bill ; for in Wales he thought dist.nce no sufficient ground for object ing to a union of towns, since there were already no many distant places united. Sir G. MURRAY dissented from the observation of the Noble Lord opposite (the Chancellor of the Exche quer), that Glamorganshire was well off for representatives as compared with the other counties of the Principality. He confessed he saw no reason why one rule should be ap plied to Wales and another to England, or why the repre sentation of Ireland or Scotland should be placed upon a different footing from that of the other parts of the United Kingdom. Mr. Alderman WOOD would vote for Merthyr Tidvil being left out of the present schedule, for tire purpose, at another stage of the Bill, of proposing that independent representation be conferred upon it. A great manufactur ing place so populous should not be left without a repre sentative of its own. Mr. STANLEY, in reply to an observation of Mr. Croker's, stated, that in the smith of England the propor tion of Members was as one to 20,000 inhabitants, while in the north the proportion was one to 25,000. Mr. KNIGHT was sure that Cardiff and Swansea would rather remain as they were than be placed in the situation which this change would ef f ect; and it would be a disgrace to the Bill if Merthyr Tidvil was left without a representative. It was a town forming the centre of a dis trict which contained a population of not less than 184,000. Lord ALTHORP said, that to join Merthyr Tidvil and Aberdare might not be a very objectionable arrangement, but for the present he should wish the clause to remain as it stood—on bringing up the report a change to tha' effect might be introduced, provided it was, on reflection, thought to be advisable. Mr. CHOKER hoped, that the Noble Lcrd would not be angry with him and his friends if they now supported that correction which the Noble Lord hereafter contem plated the possibility of introducing. The Committee then divided-- Ayes l6l, Noes l'23 Majority in favour ef Ministers -41 The question wan next put—that Lianidloes, Welsh Pool, Mochynleth, Llalifylling, and Newton, sharing with Montgomery, stand part of schedule F ; upon which Mr. C. W. Wvena addressed the Committee, as did Lord ALTHOICP, but, from the noise in the House and gallery, the Right Hon. Gentleman was nearly inaudible ; and though order wan restored when Lord Althorp got up, yet, from the low tone of voice in which the Noble Lord suoke, not a word reached the gallery. The proposition w as agreed to. The next was Narlierth, St. David's, and Fishguard, sharing with Haverford-west. Mr. GOULBURN complained of the variations intro• tluced into the Bill. Lord ALTHORP replies! at some length, but, as before, not a word was audible in the gallery. The next was Tanhy, Wiston, and Milford Haven, sharing with Pembroke. Sir E. SUGDEN was about to make some allusion to the state of Milford, but being interrupted by a cry of " Oh, oh !" the Hon. and Learned Gentleman proceeded to comment on that interruption, and said that though such might be the course adopted by those who were dragged down there to vote for the Bill, he thought that those who really wished to discuss the merits of the Bill had a right to complain of it. Lord ALTHORP complained . of 'the insinuations that were being continually thrown out against the Govern ment of being influenced by unworthy motives. Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN said that if any persons were dragged down to that House to vote, they were the nominees of the' boroughmongers—(Cheers)—who, in fact, avers tied hand and foot.-4 Cheers.) Mr. 11013 HOUSE was sorry that the Hon. Alderman had taken any notice of what had fallen from the Hon. and Learned Gentleman ; for, though such observations might become the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, they were totally unworthy of the regard of the House. Sir E. SUGDEN said, that if a Member was doing what he conceives! to be his duty, he thought some little allowance ought to be made for hint, instead of his being met by clamour and unpleasant noises. —(A laugh.) Mr. GOULBURN slid not see that because Hon. Gen tlemen thought it necessary to ask for information on what appeared to be contradictions in the Bill, that they were necessarily dealing in insinuations. Sir H. HARDINGE said that it was very easy to cal the conduct of the Opposition improper; but the fact was, that they were only attacking the absurdities of the Bill. It was the business of those who disapproved of the Bill to show up its imperfections as much as they could. Tenby, &c. was then agreed tows part of the schedule. The seventh clause of the Bill was likewise agreed to. On the question that the eighth clause form part of the Bill, Mr. WYNN complained of the system of appointing the returning officers, as the only compensation they were to get was, their 'being ineligible for their respective boroughs for two years. Lord ALTHORP explained that there was no return ing officer, it was to be in the power of the Sheriff to no minate one. Mr. WYNN—Then the Sheriff was to have the power of disqualifying any person he might please to appoint._ (Cheer,.) 111 r, GOULBURN cwateuded tlaat the returning officer should have been nominated in th . .! clause creating the borough. Mr. O'CONNELL said that the per,on nominated by the Sheriff was not compelled to accept office. Colonel DAVIES thoeght that that added to the diffi eulty of the cave. Mr. GOC LBUBN said, not only was there no cam pensation for the returning officer, but he was to be, under the Act, liable for Certain penalties in the event of certain non-performance of his duty. Did the Noble Lord sup pose that there were any to be found in the Welsh cninties simpletons enough to accept the of on such terms ? After a few words from the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, Mr. G. BANKES raid, that he was glad to hear it at length admitted on the other side, that the Bill was going faster than was expected. It was something to hear it admitted, too, that the clause had not been duty considered by the Law Officers of 4!e town. He objected to any clause etcle.dig any class of persons, as returning officers, frOm 'Deeming candidates. That Charles I. placed Sheriffs of counties in such a position, and particularly that he had so appointed Sir Edw. Coke, was one of the great complaints against that monarch, He suggested that the Chairman should report progres4.—(No, no.) The ATTORNt:Y•GENERAL had only admitted that the MI had gas fast in comparison with the slow progress . it hA formerly made under the vexatious opposition it had received. Sir R. PEEL suggested that the clause should be with. drawn. It appeared to have been imperfectly considered ; for no rro'. - ision was made for vacancy, except in case of death. Lord ALTHORP agreed to the suggestion, and said he had no objection to postpone the clause. Sir C. WETHERELL should object, when the clause again came under consideration, to allow the Sheriff to aprint the returning officer, which Was unprecedented. Sir E. StGDEN said, as the clause now stood, the Sheriff of Middlesex Would have the power of nominating the returning oXicers to all the large and populous places in the neighbourhood of the metropolis. He had other objections to the clause, but could not then state them. Air. B. CARTER said the Sheriff was a proper person to nominate the returning °Ricer ) because he could not himself he a candidate for a seat in Parliament. Mr. GOULBURN thought the clause required much amendment. ..... Sir JAMES SCARLETT thought, as the Sheriff was appointed by the Crown, that he was the more improper person to appoint the returning officer. Mr. MACKINNQN said a few words, which were in audible. . _ Sir GEORGE CLERK said it was singular that the Hon. Members opposite should have their Bill so imperfect and so unprepared, after stating that the Bill was vexa tiously opposed, that, at the first constructive clause, they were all at fault. Even the Attorney-General had not considered it, and cl,ffered, in interpreting it, fro:n the Noble Lord. _ . Mr. WILKS suggested that the clause, after it was amended, should be printed. It was of great importance for the districts in the neighbourhood of the metropolis who were returning officers, as !lie Under. Sheri& of Mid dleitex were persons on whom the metropolis might not be disposed to rely. Mr. C. PELHAM suggested that the returning officer should be the chief person of the police in each district. Clause postponed. The question wise then put on clause 9, that the bl ink in the clause appointing Knights of the Shire for York he filled up with the word six. Mr. WRANGHANI, though unprepared to discuss this clause, in consequence of the other having been with drawn, WAS disposed to siy that the county of York was not sufficiently represented. He hoped he might com pare that county, without being invidious, to Durham. In York there was one representative to 50,000 inhabit ants—in Durham the number of Members was as one to 25,000 people. If the towns were not fully represented in Yorkshire, that was a reason for giving more Members to the county. The motion he should make would pro ceed upon the supposition that the county was divided into three ridings, and that the West Riding should have four, and each of the other ridings should. have three, making in the whole ten for the county. The lion. Member moved an amendment in this sense. The question was put upon the amendment. Lord MORPETH said that the Bill did nit proc,ed upon geographical space or numerical population. It pre served the old boundaries of counties. He professed him self alive to the feelings and interests of his constituents. If any town of Yorkshire had been omitted—if any claim had been made out for any town that• it was not properly treated, he had no doubt that the Government would have c insidered such a case. The amendment, however, came at a bid time, when two additional Mem bers were to be given to the county, and when Members were to be given to Sheffield, Halifax, Leeds, and other large towns. • Lord STANLEY said, that the county of Lancaster had no desire that its Members should be increased at the expence of the other counties of England. Mr. SADLER contended that the county of York had not a fair share of representation, and when he saw that the county of Durham was to have two additional Mem bers, although it had only one-fifth of the population of York, he would proclaim it loudly to the world that this was not an equitable adjustment. He thought too they should not pass over the claims of Barnsley, the great seat of the linen trade of the North, at the time they were di. posing of the seats they had taken from the nomination boroughs. Cromwell, it should be recollected, gave six teen Members to York, and he was satisfied, that the people of that part of the country would not be content, nor look on the settlement as permanent, unless their claims were more fairly considered. Sir G. MURRAY heard with satisfaction, that it was not intended to alter the boundaries of counties at a moment when it was proposed to mutilate the county he represented. Mr. JOHN WOOD said, that on examination of the number of hot oughs, including Leeds, Sheffield, and Wake field, which were to have Members in the place of Borough bridge, and the other places disfranchised, they would find that Yorkshire bad thirty-six Members, being one Member for every thitty-two thousand nine hundred inhabitants, according to the census of 1821. Sir JOHN JOHNSTONE said, that the people of the West Riding of Yorkshire were much more manufacturing than agricultural, and therefore the Members given to the county were, in reality, Members for the manufacturing interest. He was opposed to the amendment, because, in his opinion, the balance of interests was pretty well settled by the Bill. Sir R. PEEL thought that the proportion of Members taken from the South and given to the North was already too large, and he was therefore disposed to oppose the amendment. Mr. S. WORTLEY also expressed his dissent from the propositiOn of the Hon. Member for Sudbury. After a few words from Mr. AYH% NGHAM and Mr. C. PELHAM, the amendment was withdrawn, and the clause agreed to. On the motion for filling up the blank in the tenth clause (respecting the county of Lincoln) with the word " four," Colonel SIBTHORPE argued against the clause, and contended that it was calculated to make the county of Lincoln a nomination county. Mr. WILKS thought that it would be advisable to post pone the chime until the principle on which the general division of counties was to take place had been established. Lord ALTHORP thought that they might go through the present clause, and reserve the discussion on the mode of dividing the counties until the next clause. Sir R. HERON bore testimony to the satisfaction with Which the Bill had been received in the county of Lincoln. Lord MILTON spoke in favour of the clause. Mr. GOULBURN observed, that what had been said of the danger of making Lincolnshire a nomination county I ought to induce the Committee to look carefully at the mode in which the division was to take place with refe rence to other counties. Mr. HUGHES HUGHES hoped the Noble Lord would postpone the clause. Lord ALTHORP said that he had no objection to post pone it. Mr. HUME expressed his hope that before to-morrow the Noble Lord would lie prepared to ahoy bow the coun ties could be divided without the danger of subjecting them to nomination. however anxious he was to forward the Bill, he could not be an agent at once to the destruction of nomination in boroughs, and to the creation of nomination in counties. Sir R. HERON did not think there was any danger of nomination, and Mr. SADLER contended that there was considerable danger of it. Mr. HEATHCOTE ridiculed the idea that so extensive and populous a county as the county of Lincoln could be subjected to nomination. After some further conversation, the clause was post poned. The House having been resumed, the Cuslamas re ported progress, and obtained lc tve to sit again this day. DUCHESS OF KENT'S ANNUITY BILL. The report of the Duchess of Kent's Annuity Bill hav ing been brought up, Lord ALTHORP, in moving that it be agreed to, ad verted to the observations which had fallen yesterday from the Hon. Member for Middlesex, and stated it as hi, , opinion that it would not be becoming in the House to make any alterations in the details of the Bill, with refe rence to the possibility either of the death of the Princess Victoria, or of their Majesties having any family. Mr. HUME said, that, by.the provisions of the Bill, if the Princess Victoria were to die to-morrow, the Duchess of Kent would still have it 2,0001. a year. Was that the intention of the HOuse? By no means. HP, therefore, submitted to the Noble Lord the expediency of introduc ing some words into the Bill, to provide that, in the event of the death of the Princess Victoria, the increased an- • nuity which the Bill gave to the Duchess of Kent should cease and determine. Lord ALTHORP eXpressed his hope that such an oc currence as that alluded to by the Hon. Member for Mid dlesex was not a probable one ; and his conviction was, that if it were to take place, it would occasion great grief to the country. lie really did not see the necessity of any introduction such as that recommended by the Hon. Member; for the intention of the Legislature was suffi-• ciently clear as the Bill then stood. On the suggestion of Mr. COITP.TENAY, however, and after a short can'tetsations in which Mr. Jon N Noon, Mr. WATSON tA.YriP., and Mr. IttITHVEN participated, Lord ALTHORP consented to postpOne the further consideration of the report to Friday. Toe other Orders of the Day were then disposed of ; and at Two o'clock this morning the House adjourned. MERTHYR TYDVIL. LIST OF THE MAJORITY MERTHYR. TyDVIL IN SCIIEDULE E. IA TO 122. Elarcourt, G.

The magistrates and constables were out, but did not arrive till the outrage was perpetrated. The men were attended to, and are doing as well as can be expected.

POLAND TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN: Stit,—As it must be some satisfaction for you to know that your noble conduct on behalf of the heroic Poles has not been unnoticed, I beg to inform you that it is the theme of universal praise—your sentiments excite reciproca . sympathy in every bosom. But what can be thought of a certain Morning Paper? Pray, Sir, uncloak its incon, sistency—an open foe is lens dangerous than a pretended friend. What is the reason that it loses no opportunity of exciting jealousAand suspicion between France and Eng land, the only two free nations in Europe? Could the despot, the blood-covered despot of the North, wish for any thing better to aid his infamous crusade against every thing deer to man ? Must he not grin with satisfaction at reading such articles? Is it not evident to politicians of the meanest sagacity that Russia, and not France, is acting behind the curtain in Holland, and yet this Morning Paper forsooth, will have it as the work of the " move ment party" of the French. Pray, Sir, cal upon that Paper, of which, heretofore, Englishmen were wont to be proud, call upon it in the name. of Englishmen t • throw off the mask and declare itself openly either for, ur against the Poles. Day after day have the affairs of Bel gium inundated its columns, and claimed the whole force of its reasoning, while the momentous fate of Poland, on which depend the most astounding events, is only obscurely glanced at in an obscure corner !! ! Will not the fate of Belgium (unless France first interfere) be decided on the plains of Poland? Is there not an understanding, nay, an agreement between the three great despots, after Poland is subdued, to make the Belgic case a pretext for attacking the French ? Is not this fact notorious to any one of the least sagacity ? Why is a Tory Ambazsador permitted to be at Vienna at this momentous crisis ? Is there treachery in the Cabinet too ? A liberal minded man, backed by the generous sympathy of the brave Hungarians, might have made a most beneficial impression on the Austrian Cabinet. I England and France united, say—march !—What union of despots dare say, halt ! Pray, Sir, arouse France— arouse England to throw the gauntlet down, now whilst 100,000 of the bravest men that ever drew the breath of Heaven are already on the field of hattl?, ready to embrace them as their friends and deliverers. Infatuated France ! What, permit thy dearest associates in arms—men who are fighting the very foe that was marching to thy de struction—men who stopped the fiend that was prepared to devastate thy country ; permit such men to be crushed en masse, and only come forth when the sword reaches thy side through the dying body of thy dearest friend ! ! Shame—shame ! France !—England! it is not yet too late—speak—united—and mankind are free ! August 9. A BRITON. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. DUTCH PAPERS. The following was read in the sitting of the States- General, at the Hague, on Saturday : con' . OF A DESPATCH ADDRESSED TO THE AMBASSA- DORS AND ENVOYS AT THE COURTi OF RF.RLIN, lON DON, PARIS, ST. PETERSBURGH, AND VIENNA, DATED AUGUST 2. . " SIR,—You are aware of my official communication addressed on the 12th ult. to the conference of London, in answer to the eighteen articles proposed as the prelimi naries of a treaty of peace b •tween Holland and Belgium. " I hare the honour to transmit the two articles en closed. The first, an official notification which I received from the conference under the date of the 25th ult., the. purport of which is to prevail upon our Government to arm its Ministers in London with powers to discuss, per fect, and execute, a definitive treaty, under the auspices of the Five Powers. The second is my reply of the Ist of August, of which the Baron Zuylen de Nyvelt, who yesterday set out to resume his functions of second pleni potentiary, is the hearer. " You will observe, Sir, that in this latter instrument his Majesty has caused to be given to his Plenipotentiaries at London the necessary ineructions and powers fur the discussion, perfecting, and executing, in concert with the Ministers of the conference, a definitive treaty, the object of which shall be the separation of Holland from Belgium, according to the terms propounded in my official commu nication of the 12th ult., which terms were agreed upon by his Maj-isty and the Five Powers ; and you will itb, serve, moreover, that the King is determined to support the negociation by military measures. In fact, his Ma jesty, after nine months of vain negociation, which has wen quite unprofitable to Holland, and during which si,e has not ceased to give proof of her sincere desire to termi nate, in an amicable manner, her quarrel with Belgium— after this his Majesty has judged, that if he would not sacri fice the primary and vital interests of Holland—if he would not sacrifice interests necessary to her existence, he must re • nounce all hopes of obtaining from Belgium reason tide con ditions of separation without coercive measures ; and that it has become the more indispenable to have recourse to such measures, because the crisis could not be prolonged with out compromising at once our public spirit, our finances, our army, and eve❑ our political existence. On the other side, there is reason to hops that the appearance of our arms in Belgium will restore the balance of the negocia tion destroyed by those means which the insurrection has successfully employed, while Holland confined herself to a strictly defensive position. " In conformity with his Majesty's desire, I have the honour to impress upon you the propriety- of explaining to the Minister of Affairs at * that the actual question of Belgium is no longer one in which Europe can be thought to have a general interest ; but that it is reduced to an object of a purely domestic nature—namely, to fixing the equitable conditions of a separation between Holland and Belgium—that these conditions are of the highest importance to Holland, hut absolutely indif ferent to the rest of Europe—that if other nations can really think themselves interested, it must be solely in regard to the preservation of a general peace, and that upon this ground we claim the aid of Aus tria, France, Great Britain, Prussia, and Russia You will add that Holland understands her own in terests too well to desire or wish to kindle a war, whether more or less extensive, of which she must herselt encounter the first and most formidable hazards,—that she covets no increase of territory,—that she offers up her best good wishes for the well-being of all states, t*•ithout disturbing herself about the means by which they seek to acquire or to consolidate ; but that she cannot, under any circumstances, sacrifice the principle of her own exist ence. Thence it must be evident that the King's deter mination to throw his army into the scale simultaneously with the negotiations at London for the purpose - of ob taining fair ternis of separation,—an end too precisely marked, and too distinctly avowed, to be subject to the least doubt,—ought not to inspire any disquietude ; and his Majesty believes he has ground to hope that in these cir cumstances Austria, France, Great Britain, Prussia, anti Russia will unite their efforts with his, to ensure that the separation shall be adjusted upon a solid and equitable footing, and consistently with the rights of Holland. "Pray inform me of the result of your representations. (Signed) " VERSTOLK DE SOELEN." BRUSSELS PAPERS. ANTWERP, AuG. 6.—Our city breathes joy, and hope returns to all hearts. This morning the following Pro• clamation was posted : " PROCLANIATION. _ ..-- " The city of Antwerp is placed under the safeguard of France, England, and all Europe. This safeguard guranti es our persons and our property against every ag gression from the citadel or the Dutch naval force. " Dated at the Town Hall, 6th August, 1831. " The Burgomaster and Sheriff Guard, LEGRELLE, " WILLERS, Secretary. " ORDER OF THE DAY. " The General of Brigade, Military Governor of the Province, and Commander-in. Chief cf the city and banlieu of Antwerp, hastens to inform the troops under his cote wand, that it has just been agreed upon, betwei-n his Ex cellency Lieut.-General Count Belliard, of France, unti l General Baron Chasse, Governor of the citadel of Antwery —' That there shall be a suspension of arms between th citadel, the Dutch naval force, and the Belgian troops, till the receipt of the superior orders which General Baron Chasse expects on this subject. During the c ontinuance of this suspension of arms, all shall remain in statu quo with respect to the works for the purpo , es of attack to he exe cuted on either side, and Dutch and Belgian Commis sinners shall he named respectively to draw a line which is to be marked out by posts , according to the stipulations of the Convention ratified Nov. 5, IMO.' " Lieutenant-General Count Belliard has s that thi city of Antwerp was pissed under thesafeguard of France, England, and all Europe—a safeguard which guarantees the inhabitants and their property against every attack from the citadel, or the enemy's fleet. " In consequence, all hostilities will cease on the whit line depending on the cit y and ban ieu of Antwerp, and the slightest infraction of the -aforesaid regulation will b punished with the greatest severity.

" Antwerp, August 6, 1831 " The Dutch fleet is in the same position, and our gun • tots ate impatient to teceive it. Both patties have trade seine trials of the range of their shot ; a forty-eight pound ball thrown by us passed over a man-of-war and rebounded fir beyond it into the Scheldt. Same bombs were -ex ehanged. The fleet fired on Austruweel and set it on fire. It is inconceivable that the Dutch have not attempted to hake themselves masters of our batteries, by landing at A uatruweel. There was fighting all night at St, Laurent. The nemy stilled in force from the citadel, and attacked one, a. tdvanced posts. Many men, es:haested by fatigue, and . ,verwhelmed by the c innon balls, quitted the but are still occupying the batteries and the trenches. The enemy, perceiving that we did not fire according en orders that had been given, fell on the batteries a nd spiked three guns of the citadel. There was at first some aunfusion, but our troops rallied, and recovered their posi ion. enemy burnt the houses about Kiel. The Dutch sustained great loss last night. The events of yesterday gave us a new opportunity to appreciate the noble character of the Kiag. Scarcely had ve heard that the enemy had made a sally from the cita del, when he hastily quitted his head-quarters at Malines to fly to the scene of danger. General Tabor, whom the King sent for to Berchern, had an interview with his Majesty, which lasted above an hour. The enemy hav ing been repulsed by our troops, his Maj sty, accomparued ny the Minister of War, returned on horseback to Malinor Ind General Tabor came back to this pot t. BRUSSELS, AUG. 11.—M. Le lion, our Ambassador at Paris, was received by Louis Philip on the 4th instant. The Duke of Nemours was present, but the Duke of Or leans was alaent, and his Majesty was pleased to dwell on the great zeal which the Duke would feel on that account. M. Le Hon, on delivering his credentials front the King of the Belgians, addressed to King Louis Philip a speech, in which, notifying the accession of the King of the Belgians, he expressed the sentiments of affection which his Sovereign feels fur the King, his family, and France. lie added, that King Leopold depended on the friendship of the King of the French and his support, if circumstances should render it necessary to claim them. King Louis Philip replied with much emotion :—" 11. Le Ii nt—King Leopold knows the real affection which I bear hint ; and the Belgians also know the interest that France and myself entertain for them. My two sons a nd the French battalions will march to its aid, if its inde• pendence should be threatened." The King expressed to M. Le. Hon his satisfaction at King Leopold's having 'gain accredited him to his Court, and repeatedly desired him, to express to the King of the Belgians the warm ft iendship and sincere affection and interest he felt for our Sovereign. The King afterwards conversed for an hour with M. Let Hon, in his private cabinet, and was pleased to read to him a letter which he sends to our Sovereign , in ansno r to that which King Leopold wrote to him. M. Le lion had afterwards an audience of the Queev :end the three Princesses, and then of Madame Adelaide from whom he met with a similar gracious reception. , Generals Tieken de Terhove and Dine effected the . ie junction yesterday morning ; the consequence of which r i t that the Dutch, who have taken possession of Diest, are sur c i rounded at one of the points of the town where they had barricaded themselves. On the other hand, the Civic Guards of the Ist and 2d ben have been sent against th e Dutch column at Diest. However, this corps of 40 foot, and 1500 or 1800 horse, must either try to cu t ill way through our army or lay down its arms, 0 Defensive and offensive measures have been concerted 1 the King's head-quarters, from which most advantage ° results are expected. Two - thirds of the prisoners whom we have taken fro° the Dutch are Prussians or Germans. The Governm eo will have the fact investigated. The enemy seems t' have halted on his march. He has, indeed, penetrated e ° far as Diest. The Dutch seem to intend to advance to Hasselt, 0 - 3 r which town the army of the Meuse is stationed. iNics" sures fe of dence are prosecuted with great activity ie Flanders. The whole line is guarded by a strong forc e ' I Numbers of the Civic Guard have joined, and it is i 0; I possible to describe the enthusiasmthat prevails in whole country.
