ported, and ordered to be read a third time to• morrow. ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE BILL. Lord DURHAM said he thought their Lordships might not to allow this Bill to proceed any further during this Session. It was a Bill of the greatest importance, MI had been subjected to so many amendments from the Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench, that: he ,was of opinion their Lord ships ought to take time to consider the propriety of its enactments. When it was considered, too, that it taxed the people to the amount of 18,0001, a year, this was another reason for postponing the measure, and giving time for the consideration of it. The Marquis of .RUNE said, that when the Noble Baron stated that this Bill taxed the people to the amount of 18,0001. a year, he did not state the case fairly. 'rho Bill suppressed the'offiees of eight Welsh Judges—(Hear, hear)—and the Noble Baron ought in fairness to have stated this, and to have deducted the salaries of the Welsh Judges from the sum of 18,000/. But even if this deduction were made, it would milk , be incorrect to say that the Bill taxed the people to the amount of the dif ference, for many of the items of which the sum was composed must cease at no very distant time, and, in the end, this Bill would be a relief instead of a charge to the nation. He knew from personal experience that Wales had been for many years anxious for a measure of this kind; and he'should be very sorry, therefore, to see it postponed. _ . The LORD CHANCELLOR said that what the Noble Marquis had said was perfectly correct. h e permanent charge upon the country would be diminished and sot increased by this Bill. He did not feel himielf called upon to detain their Lord ships now, because, on the second reading, he bad gone fully into the nature of the enactments of this Bill, and into the grounds on which those enact ments had been founded. The Bill had been fully canvassed in the presence of the Lord Chief Jus tice of the Court of King's Bench, of the bite Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, and of the Noble and Learned Earl who had preceded him in the dice of Chancellor. Their Lordships, on those occasions, bad appeared fully sensible of thr merits of the Bill; and the Noble Baron (Dur ham) had made no objection to it then. In the Committee the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench suggested several alterations in the details, but none in the principle of the Bill. Ile had pursued that Learned Person in the amend ments so proposed, and to. him and to the two other Noble and Learned Lords, to whom he had before alluded, the amendments appeared to be good. Last night be had agreed to the postponement of the Bill until stow, because he wished to read the amendments in print ; he had since done so, and he lied no hesita tion in saying that the Bill was now in a fit suite to be reported to their Lordships. Under these cir cumstances he protested against the proposal of the Noble Baton (Durham) to postpone a measure which was pregnant with advantages to the inferior Courts of this part of the country, as well as to'' Wales; and which, so far from adding to, would diminish the ultimate charge upon the nation. Lord DURHAM said, that so far from the Noble and Learned Earl (Eldon), who bad been alluded to, acquiescing in the principle of the Bill, the Noble and Learned Person had said that all the words after the word " that" ought to be struck out of it,—for that it was impossible to place the Bill in an unexceptionable shape by means of amendments. The LORD CHANCELLOR did not wish to prolong this discussion, but lie could not allow that observation to pass unnoticed. If the Noble and Learned Earl (Eldon) did entertain those objections to the principle of the 13111, he must say that the Noble and Learned Earl ought to have stated them. It was very likely, that the Noble awl Learned Earl might have said in conversation, that which the Noble Baron (Durham) attributed to him ; but it was quite certain that the Noble and Learned Earl did not say it to their Lordships. He therefore hail had no opportunity of combating such objection, and he saw no reason why their Lordships should Attend to them, suggested in this way, not by the Noble and Learned Earl himself, but by the Noble Baron, who had happened to hear them.—( Hear.) The amendments were then reported, and agreed to: Bill to be terui a third time to-morrow.—A& jowls& ..._..._.._..w...:._._..._ . ..__._.. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(LAbT NIGHT.) The SPEAKSK took his seat at Four o'clock. EAST INDIA COMPANY'S MONOPOLY. Sir F. BURDETT presented a petition from the inhabitants of London and Westminster, against the East India Company's monopoly, The petitioners prayed not only that the trade to China and India might be thrown open, but also that India might be governed on principles of justice and liberality, Mr. TRANT supported the prayer of the poi- Cnion, which, be observed, involved the couthtion of near one hundred millions of our fellow men, lie hoped no private interest would be al lowed to stand in the way of rendering justice to such a vast population. NEGRO SLAVERY. Mr. F. BUXTON presented * petition from the University of Oxford, praying for the abolition of obsvery in the West Indies. The Hen, Member mid it was grateful to find that learned and all elastics concurred in requiring the abolition of slavery. He had st n all hope of the slave-owners doing any thing calculated to effect an amelioration of the con dition of tbenegrnea. Mr. Canning had said that the first step taken should be the abolition of the infamous practice of floggiog females,. but that first step had not yet been taken in. any of eiur slave colonies. lie (the Ilonoureide Mem- WO had lately received an account, and which was really astounding, of a poor negro wko hid Geen flogged merely for having jelned in prayer'at the house of his pastor. He hoped that the people would, at the next election, refuse to return represen t Wife* whose 'West Indian connections could not fail of prejudicing their minds on this most important sulneet. The lion. Member conducted by present ing similar petitions from Blackburn, Frome, end ,several other places. Sir A. GRANT mid, that as a West India pro, Hew h. could assure the House he was as elisions as the Honourable Member opposite for Om anudioration of the condition of the aleves; he meet, however, complain of the adore peettentations of the Honourable Member end them acting with him, as to what had taken place in that Honourable House six years ago. The resolutions agreed to by the House -on that occasion did not pledge it to any specific measure of ema► cipation ! but merely to such en' *melioration of the eonditton of slaves as might 'be found consistent with the rights of private property. Mr. P. JIUXTON said the resolutions fully cognised the principle of adrontiog . the negrom to the protection and privileges of the British Constitu tion. lie had no objection to muke competet tier* to the slave-owners, ea be considered the West Indians and the country equeliy Mr. O.

Member that tilevettiment entertained the most ardent wish for the amelioration of the slaves, and that they would use every exertion to effect that de sirable end. FORGERY BILL. Sir It. PEEL, in rising to move the Order of the Day for the further consideration of the ,Lort• amendments to the Punishment of Forgeries Bill, said that lie did not feel himself culled upon to enter at length into the subject. lie said he felt regret that their Lordships had passed so many amend ments, he trusted, however, that the House would find no great difficulty in agreeing to those amend ments ; in case they did not do so, the old laws re• luting to forgery, against which so many complaints had been made, would still remain in force. The Bill as it now stood would come into opera tion to-morrow ; under these circumstances it was necessary for the House to pass it into a law, if indeed it were to pass into a law, with as little delay as possible. The Order of the Day was then read. On the question that the amendments be now taken into consideration, Mr. C. W. WYNN admitted, that at the present stage of the Session, it was useless to offer any op position to the passing of these amendments. At the same time, he felt that the House had a right to complain of the course which had been adopted to wards it by the other House of Parliament. On the 9th of June, this Bill had been carried up to the Lords. On the Ist of July, these amendments were made to it by their Lordships, and yet it was not till the 13th of the same month that they were sent down to the Commons, thus leaving them no other course than either to adopt the amendments, or to reject the Bill altogether. To this latter course he was prepared entirely to assent. The amendments, he expected, would be agreed to but still he hoped that the House would not forget how its assent had been obtained. He trusted that in an ensuing Sda sion it would take care that the opinions of the House of Commons of England, which were but an echo of the opinions of their constituents, should be fully and sati•fuctorily carried into effect. Mr. ROBINSON rose to express the regret which he felt in common with other Members, that these amendments should have been made by their Lordships. He would rather have the Bill rejected than passed in its present shape : for if it were passed now, the question would come before Parlia ment in another Session under great disadvantages. He should have given great weight to the opinions of the three Noble and Learned Personages who had supported those amendments in the other House of Parliament, had be not seen opposed to their opi nions a weight of petitions which completely over balanced them. He really hoped that some Hen. Member would propose to reject the Bill altogether. Mr. STEWART (of Beverley) was disposed to reject the Bill altogether, rather than pass it with these amendments. If they adopted the Bill as it had been amended by the Lords, it would be a virtual relinquishment of the opinion already expressed by that House on the subject of the Bill; whilst by re jecting it, they would thereby force the subject upon the consideration of the next Parliament, at the earliest practicable period after it assembled; as he scarcely thought that any Secretary of State would in the interim miture to recommend the infliction of capital punishment for forgery, after the opinion which had been so decidedly expressed against it by a large majority of that House; and an early re vision of the law, which could not be carried into effect, would therefore become absolutely indispens able. On these grounds he should oppose the Bill. Sir IL WILSON thought that us the Bill, even as it now stood, secured some advantages, it ought not to be rejected, merely because it did not secure all the advantages which those who sought for the mitigatio4 of the penal code had in view. Mr. P. BUXTON felt that it might be most de sirable to reject the 'Bill altogether; but as such re jection would only create delay, and as the behaviour of the Home Secretary had been distinguished by great frankness mid candour upon this subject, be could not agree to a proposition for rejecting it.— There was one amendment which he should wish to add to those made by the Lords—and that was, that the duration of this Bill should be limited to one year. That would compel the Government to in traduce another Bill to the House next session more consonant to the humane views so generally adopted by their constituency throughout the whole country. The amendments were then ordered to be taken into consideration. On the question, that they be now mid a first time, Mr. LABOUCHERE took the opportunity of saying that he supported the view of this subject which had ban taken by the Hon. Member for Weymouth. Lord HOWICK censured the Ministry for the conduct which they had pursued regarding this Bill. It was said at the outset that this Bill was not to be considered as a party question ; and yet he knew that Treasury notes had been issued to obtain th e votes of the supporters of Government in its favour. Notwithstanding the influence thus exerted by Government to carry its own Bill through the House, a majority of independent Mem bers appeared in favour of abolishing the punish ment of death in cases of forgery. After such a declaration of public opinion, he thought that the Government ought not to have allowed the Bill to be altered back to its former shape in the House of Lords. He trusted that the amendment proposed by the Hon. Member for Weymouth would obtain the support of the House. Sir R. PEEL explained the circumstances under which these amendments had been sent from the House of Lords to the House of Commons, and attributed the apparent delay to the unf or t unate de mise of his late 'lii,jesty. The Bill in its present shape was decidedly an improvement on the old law, opt only because it simplified and consolidated it, but also because it repealed the penalty of death in all cases of forgery upon the Stamp-office. He trusted that the Manse would not concur in the amendment proposed by the Hon. Member for Wey mouth. If the duration of the bill ware limited, us ha advised, in what a situation would it place those who were intrusted with the duty of superin tending the due administration of the law ? To that amendment he should offer his decided oppo titian. As to the observation, that no Secretary of Stara would ever be found to advise the infliction of capital nishment in those cases of forgery in which t he House hed declared that the punishment of death ought to be abolialied p be had only to re mark, that he (Sir R. Peel) would always give the Crawn such advice, with regard to the execution of the law a the land , as he thought that the bite, rests of justiae respired, without reference to what might or might not b the opinion of the majority of the House of Commons relp,p4Olg it. Mr. ROU INSON explained. Dr. PIIILLIMORE reinforced the observations of his Right Honourable Friend the Member for Montgomeryshire, and protested against the conduct which the Lords had pursued with respect to these amendments. Mr. LENIVAB,D thought that the Bill as it now stood was u mitigation pi the existing Jew, a l t h oug h it was not exactly that degree of mitigation which the circumstances of the case required, Besides, he OW of opinion that passing this Bill this Session pot prejudice the great question in the next Seabizi. After a few wojtto fr,orn Mr. TRANT in opposition to the amendments, Mr. STEWART moved that thei mid this day fortnight.

(From the Messayer des Chambres of Sunday,) Pants, JULY 17.—The first brigade of the reserve, stationed at Toulon and in the environs, had received orders to embark. The vessels which were to convey it to Africa were to be ready to put to sea on the 11th inst., when the intelligence of the surrender of Algiers having been received in France, the order for the departure was suspended. A telegraphic despatch, sent from Paris to Toulon on the 9th inst., has stopped the preparations, which were already very far advanced, for sending the two last brigades of the reserve. In conformity with these same orders, the payment of the indemnity, which was going to be given to the troops composing these two brigades, has also been suspended, Romm, JULY I.—Madame, now Countess of Le- panto, left Rome on the 20th ult., to return to Austria. The health of her mother, Madame Letitia Buonaparte, is restored as far as can be expected for a person of her advanced age. On St. Peter's Day, the Pope, seated on his throne, was present at the solemn mas s p er f orme d in the church o f th e V at i can by Cardinal Many Romans and foreigners came to pray On the tomb of the Holy Apostles. In the evening the city was illuminated, as well as the front and the colon. nude of the Vatican. The Apostolic Minister received the usual pay inent, dues, and tribute, and protested with respect to those that were not paid. PARIS EXCHANGE, JULY 17.—There has been a strong report to-day of the prorogation of the Cham bers, which it was said would be put off till the 19th of August. This news did not seem calcu lated to cause a decline, for on the one hand it defers the moment of the Parliamentary debates, and on the other it is a pledge that violent measures are no longer contemplated, and that the Ministers are re• solved to appear before the Chambers, and not to deviate from the legal course. Nevertheless, stock of every description fell decidedly, arid considerable sales were made, after the receipt of another piece of news—the new convocation of the Chambers. The 3 per Cents. declined 25 cents from yester day's closing price; the 6 per Cents. 20 cents; the Rente Perpetuelle,i; and Ducats, 25 cents. A few moments before the dose there was greater steadiness, and the price approaching 79f. There were numerous inquiries. 4( MARSEILLLES, JULY 11.

It is said that the hey of Titteri, the central province of the kingdom of Algiers, has surrendered, and has acknowledged himself a vassal of the King of France; and it is hoped that in a fortnight the rest of the country will have also submitted. The greatest tranquillity reigns in the city of Algiers, and the most cordial friendship exists be tween the French and the inhabitants.

'I he French are adored and treated sincerely as their liberators. All the public native officers have retained their situations. An interpreter is attached to each of the corps of the French, so as to be able, in case of necessity, to come to an understanding with the Magistrates. The police of the town is in an excellent state. The conquest of Algiers appears to have cost 4,000 or 5,000 men, of wounded, killed, or disabled by various causes. Amongst this number of 4,000 or 5,000, that of the killed and severely wounded amounts to about 1,200. The Algerines have esti mated their loss at upwards of 10,000 of killed and wounded, which is very probable, in consequence of the superiority of our artillery, which had to fire sometimes on such extensive masses of men. Don Francisco d'Almeida, appointed by the Re gency of Terceira Donna Maria's Minister at the Court of the Tuilleries, has just arrived at Paris. AMERICAN PAPERS. NEW YOItK, JUNE 20.—The Bogota Gazette of May 16, received by tile Journal of Commerce, contains a protocol of the conferences between the Commissioners of the Constituent Congress and those of the Chief Superior of Venezuela, held in Rosario de Cucuta on the 18th and 19th of April. The Commissioners of Venezuela required to know in the first place, whether they were recognised in the character of envoys of the Government of the state of Venezuela ; as in no other case ere they permitted by their instructions to continue the negotiation. The Bogota Com missioners replied, that they were not authorised to make the recognition proposed, and conse quently the discuss►on was broken off, or rather not entered upon, except in the character of private citizens. 110GOTA, Mt 10.—The Constituent Congress closed its sessions on the 11th ult. ' after having ful filled the trust which the p eo pl e ha d confided to it. The gratitude of the nation is due to its repre sentatives, not only for their constant attention to their duties, and for having embodied in the Consti tution the most liberal principles, but especially be cause, relinquishing the natural fondness for their own productions, they have enacted that even this Constitution shall not be an obstacle to our re organization, as may be seen by the following DECREE:. " The Constituent Congress of the Republic of Colombia—considering, " That the provinces of ancient Venezuela, which have withdrawn their allegiance to the 'govern ment of Colombia, under the pretext that the sub stitution of a monarchical Government was contem plated, instead of u republican, ought to be convinced of their error by the bases which have been pub lished, and still more by the Constitution which has just been agreed on ; " That it does not seem probable that those pro vinces, after being thus undeceived, will adhere to their determination, and destroy entirely a precious Union, (the guarantee of the security and greatness of the Republic,) disregarding its peculiar advan tages, and renouncing all the hopes of prosperity and power which it promised; " 1. That even should they carry their obstinacy to the extreme of wishing to form and sustain an en tirely independent Government, it would not be ex pedient nor proper to attempt to re-establish by force the Union which is urged by so many and weighty considerations ; "That it is necessary, in fine, that the Executive should have a rule to guide its conduct, not only in the present crisis, but in future emergencies, decrees—. " 1. The Constitution agreed upon by Congress shall be offered by the Government to the provinces of ancient Venezuela which have withdrawn their allegiance, as a bond of union and concord; and all pacific means in its power shall be used to reduce them to accept it. " 2. If the said provinces refuse to accept the Constitution, unless essential or circumstantial ahem. tions be made in it, or if they specify other condi tions, the Government shall immediately convoke a Colombian Convention, which shall assemble in the town ef Santa Rosa, department of Boyaca, in order to take into consideration the variations or condk tions proposed, or which may be proposed, and such decision shall be made as is deemed promotive of the general good and the interests of the nation. " 3. Even though all, or the. greater part, of the provinces of ancient Venezuela, breaking entirely the solemn compact which unites them with the rest of Colombia, shall refuse to accept the Constitution, and reject all the means of preserving the national unity, the Government shall not make war upon them to compel them to respect that compact. " 4. In case the provinces of ancient Venezuela do not assent to the overture specified in Article 2, the Government shall immediately convoke a Con vention of Deputies from. the rest of Colombia, which shall assemble in one ef the cities in the valley of Cauca, as shall be judged most expedient, in view of circumstances and the state of the country, prescribe what may be necessary for the conduct of the executive, revise the Constitution, and make in it the alterations which may seem in dispensable, in order to its perfect adaptation to the national interests. " J. The Government shall take care that the Constitution agreed on by Congress shall be pub lished with great solemnity, be sworn to, and put in execution in all the other provinces of the Republic, where it ought to be obeyed and practised upon, until it is varied or altered, agreeably to the provi. alone of the former articles. " Given in Bogota, May b, 1830. " The President of Congress, VINCENTE BORRE110." LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 21, MO. The Ki Nu held his first Levee, sincehisacces. sion to the throne, this day at two o'clock. The carriages were more numerous than on any former occasion we recollect to have witnessed, and the presentations are also expected to be equally numerous. His Majesty the King of WURTEMBUROII arrived at St. James's Palace about one o'clock, and was immediately introduced to their MA JESTIES. lliS MAJESTY, who is expected to appear at the review to-morrow, will remain some time in England. His MAJESTY, we understand, intends to visit Portsmouth the first week in August. The Naval Commissioners of the Navy Board and Dock Yards, who have passed their Flags, lately memorialised his MAJESTY to be placed on the superannuated list of Rear-Admirals, in stead of the superannuated list of Captains. As this arrangement would put the public to no ex pence whatever, it is reasonably conjectured that his MAJESTY will be graciously pleased to grant the boon, particularly as by a late Order in Council it is stated that all Captains in future set aside at any promotion of Flag Officers, may be appointed retired Rear-Admirals, provided they have maintained an unblemished character. The East Rstfortl Disfranchisement Bill yes terday went through a Committee. The Re port was brought up, and the Bill itself is to be Tead a third time this evening. The Amendments of the Lords to the For gery Bill were agreed to last night in the House of Commons by a majority of 74 to 10. A great meeting took place at Castlebelling ham on Thursday last, the object of which was to effect some arrangements which would be likely to put an end to the disunion which existed in the popular party, and thereby secure the in. dependence of the county Louth. At this meeting Mr. SHELL, who announced his inten tion to persevere as a candidate for the county, entered into a partial declaration of his political faith. lie stated that he was a practical, not a visionary, refonner, that he was the advo cate of Triennial Parliaments in preference to Universal Suffrage, and that he thought the voting by ballot had many advantages. Mr. SHEIL was of course vehemently applauded throughout his speech, and by all accounts stands a very fair chance of succeeding in his election. Mr. O'CONNELL seems to be a little sore with him, why or wherefore no one, it ap pears, knows. The extracts from the German Papers re. ceived this morning will be found in a preceding column. The Session of Parliament is rapidly drawing to a close: as soon as the remaining Bills before the Lorde can be passed through their several stages a prorogation will take place, and Parlia ment will be dissolved. Among the Bills that await the Royal assent is the Beer Bill,—the most important enactment not only of the Session, but the Parliament, if we except the great measure for Catholic relief, which will long remain an honourable monument of the firmness and good sense of those under ' whose auspices it was carried. The Beer Bill, if different in operation, and less simple in its enactments, bears strong Marks of the same clear and straight-forward conception of the true prin ciples of legislation, and of the public interests, as its great precursor, and promises more imme diate beneficial results. It is not a half measure, —it will afford great and immediate relief to taxation, both to the growers of corn and con sumers of beer, embracing the whole population of the Empire ; the entire machinery and ex pence of collecting the duty on beer will be done away with ;—the honest dealer will be left free to carry on a trade in beer, subject only to the wholesome surveillance which the public interest requires, while the humble classes of the community will be relieved from the various temptations to which they were subjected when com p e ll e d to herd in licensed houses under the GERMAN PAPERS. %WM, Jut.: 19.—The solemn opening of the Swiss Diet took place on the sth of July. The following are some passages of the speech of the Avoyer, M.
