THE COMMISSIONERS of the NORTHERN LIGHTHOUSES hereby give Notice, that a LIGHTHOUSE has been ERECTED upon TARBETNESS, in the MORAY FRITH, the Light of which will be exhibited on the night of FRIDAY, the 29!11 day of January current, and every night there after, from the going away of daylight in the evening till the return of daylight in the morning. The following is a specification of the position of the Lighthouse, end the appearance of the Light, by Mr. Stevenson, Engineer to the Commissioners : Tarbetness forms the north-eastern extremity of Cro rnartyshire, situate in lat. 57 deg. 51 min. north, and in long, 3 deg. 17 min. west, distant about 12 miles from the entrance to Cromarty Frith. By Compass, the Light house bears from the sunken rocks called the Three Kings and the King's Sons, N.E. E. distant nine miles; from Hallirnan's Scares, lying off Covesea or Cowsey Point, , N •N• W. -A- W. distant 18 miles; from Clythness S.W. by t '• W. distant 31 miles; and from Culloden Rock, W. by S. distant one mile. Tarbetness Light will be known to Mariners as an In termittent Light, suddenly appearing like a star of the first magnitude, and continuing in view 2 4 minutes, when it is suddenly eclipsed for half a minute; thus producing its characteristic effect once in every three minutes. It must, however, be observed, that within the Moray Frith, in a south-westerly direction from Tarbetness, where the Light cannot be mistaken for any other on the Coast, it will be 4 permanently visible, until the Mariner pass within a Line drawn from Tarbetne;S through a point half a mile sea ward of tke King's Sons, when it will be intercepted from his view by the high land of the coast. The interception of the light by the land will thus form a direction to avoid these dangerous Rocks. The Lantern is open or glazed seaward from S.W. 4 W. to W. N. and is elevated 175 feet above the medium ' level of the sea. The Light, in clear weather, will be seen at the di s t ance of five or six leagues, and at lesser distances, aeording to the state of the atmosphere. By order of the Commissioners of the Northern Light houses, C. CUNINGHAM, Sec. 14th January, 1830. DR. KELLY'S BOOK-KEEPING AND NAUTICAL ASTRONOMY. This day was published, in Svo.

HOUSELESS, STARVING, AND AFFLICTED, AND CONVALESCENT, OR OPPRESSED SAI LORS. A l this incl emen t seas on of the year crowds of shipwrecked, stranded, castaway, or robbed, or destitut e sailors reach London from all parts of our sea shores and of the world. Shirtless, shoeless, and penny less, they must perish in our streets but for prompt as sistance. The Sailors' Rest or Maritime Guardian Establishment has a new Sailors' Asylum opened for all such distressing cases, in Wellclose-square. Every for lorn starving sailor is here instantly received on applica tion. He is washed and shaved, and has a bason of bergen or thick oatmeal porridge and a sea biscuit every morning; is sent out to look for a ship through the day, and has a bason of good soup and a biscuit every even ing, with clean straw for his bed. Divine worship is con ducted in the Asylum morning and evening, that the duties of religion and morality may be impressed upon the minds of the disconsolate mariners in the season of their calamity. If any of them are taken ill (as is frequently the case) they are removed to the Sailors' Infirmary con nected with the Asylum, where they have a good bed, nourishing food, a daily apothecary, and a consulting phy sician. If their case demands it they are instantly eclat to an hospital for the best advice and medicine. If they die in connexion with the Asylum the Society orders a decent burial, and all the destitute sailors follow their ship mates to the grave. When any of them obtain a ship, a new check shirt and handkerchief are gives to each. If they ate oppressed about wages, a legal arbitrator is em ployed to relieve them. Convalescent sailors turned out of hospitals cured, but weak and requiring a few days nourishment and strength before they can be fit to do duty by day, or keep watch at night in a ship, are taken care of and provided for by the Sailors' Rest. Donations of coals, candle, straw, oatmeal, soap, razors, bedding, hammocks, old canvass for trowsers, old rope or junk to work into matte, or cloth for jackets and trowsers, or any kind of sea clothing, or ox cheeks, or legs of beef, or any joint of meat, or vegetables for soup, or soft bread, or sea biscuit, or flannel for waistcoats, and drawers, or stockings, or half-worn shoes, or donations and subscrip tions to support the great demands on the funds at this dreary season, will be truly acceptable, addressed to Mr. W hitford, seaman's Friend Office ; w M Sailor Air.

Bvo., containing 2,350 pages of close print, price 365., in handsome close board,, AGENERAL BIOGRAPHICAL DIC TIONARY. By JOHN GORTON. " This Dictionary is peculiarly valuable as a work of re ference for the general reader, on account of information respecting prominent characters that have figured on the stage of life, being more its object than an alphabetical list of individuals of various note and merit ; and upon this ground particularly it has a claim to distinguished notice. Impartiality is another recommendation, and, as far as we have observed, this spirit is very creditably maintained throughout."—New Monthly Magazine. " It is small praise to say this Dictionary supersedes all the prior compilations of the kind ; but we have consulted a multitude of articles, and have been surprised at tke ac curacy, versatility, and intelligence, which they exhibit. We must not omit to remark an important recommenda tion in a bulky book of reference—its cheapness. Though far more copious, and carried dow❑ to a much later pe riod, we believe the work does not exceed the price of the imperfect repertories of biographers. "-Atlas. " Among the cheap and useful publications now issuing from the press, we have scarcely seen one which unites so many excellencies as this Biographical Dictionary. It exhibits a fine specimen of typography, and has a merit which belongs to very few low-priced works."—Scotsman. " Mr. Gorton's publication is altogether one of great excellence, calculated to be useful to a large number of students, and deserving extensive popularity."—Athenreum. " This work displays throughout traces of research and industry, and contains as ♦aluable a body of biogra phical information as any that we have in the language.' —Sun, Feb. 2. Printed fur Whittaker, Treacher, and Co., Ave Maria-lane " The Narrative of the War in Germany and France, from the pen of Lord LONDONDERRY, so long announced, is nearly ready for publication. This second Work of the noble author, we understand, is likely to be as much relished by fashionable as by mere professional readers, from the variety of Court Anecdotes and amusing topics which relieve the dryness of military detail, and fill up the intervals of armistice and negotiations, wi t h splendid reviews, festivals, and balls. Much curious and important information as to the real characters and designs of the royal and noble personages who played a part upon the scene, will be, it is said, for the first time afforded us ; such indeed as cannot fail to prove as agreeab'e to general readers as to his Lordship's companions in arms, to whom he has professionally addressed his work."— Court Journal. Coventry continues in a wretched state— thousands are literally starving - . The poor-rates are 20s, in the pound ; and the payments for casual out-door pau• pers are about- six times greater than they Were in 1827. Sheffield Mercury. OPENING OF THE BRADFORD EXCHANGE BUILDINGS.—On Wednesday last, a public dinner was given on the occasion of the opening of the Bradford Ex change Buildings lately erected in that town, at which Dr. OUTIIWA ITE presided, and which was attended by from 80 to 90 of the principal gentlemen of the town and neighbourhood.—Leeds Mercury. A singular case occurred, a few days since, in the Insolvent Court, of the discharge of a publican being opposed by his brewer, on the ground of the former having made over all his property to one creditor to the exclusion of the rest; that being notoriously the way in which brewers generally pay themselves. A correspondent at Rennes, in Brittany, writes that the weather there is colder than within the memory of inask ; sentinels are frozen at their posts ; washing by the sides of rivers and streams, the custom of the country, has ceased, and scores of washer-women have fallen a sacrifice to the cold, their limbs being frost-bitten, and mortification in many cases ensuing; that the dogs not being able to get water, many of them have gone mad and bitten several people. The authorities have caused poisoned food to be thrown about the town, to destroy the dogs, and with much success, for 165 were collected in one morning by the police, and buried in a pit.—P/3/- mouth Journal. MURDER.—This county (Gloucester) has been the scene of a most diabolical murder. On the morning of Suiday last an industrious labouring man, named WILLIAM WICXII, who resided alone at Bismore, in the parish of Bisley, was discovered to have been most inhumanly butchered in his own dwelling. A woman who washed for him, on entering his house, found the body most horribly disfigured by several mortal blows about the head and face from a hatchet, and the murderous instru ment lying by his side. His supper by untouched en the t a bl e , and the house had been completely ransacked fur plunder. The poor fellow was reported to have some money in his possession. Four persons are in custody on suspicion, awaiting the Coroner's inquest. Gloucater Joarnali SLAVE TRADE. Earl BATHURST was commanded by his Majesty to lay before the House papers relative to the inaprovement of the condition of slaves. AfFAIRS OF INDIA. Lord MELVILLE begged to give notice, on behalf of the Noble L6rd at the head of the Board of Controul, that it was the intention of that Noble Lord to move their Lordships to-morrow for a Select Commit tee relative to the Affairs of India. COAL TRADE. Lord DURHAM, on the part of a Noble Marquis, gave notice that it was his intention to present a petition, pray ing their Lordships to allow the Committee on the Coal Trade to resume their sittings. Lord TEYNHAM moved for a return of the monies laid out on the poor in England and Wales during the last year. The Duke of WELLINGTON, who entered the House a little after five o'clock, wished the Noble Lord to post pone his motion till to-morrow, as by that time he should be able to look over the papers relative to the subject men tioned by the Noble Lsr,l. AFFAIRS OF GREECE. Lord HOLLAND wished to give notice, that on Friday next, he should bring before their Lordships the im portant subject of the afftirs relative to Greece. His motion would rather be iu the form of a resolution, some thing to this effect :—" That no plan for the pacification of Greece would appear to that House advantageous or honourable to his Majesty's Crown, which did not give that country a figure sufficient to maintain the national defence of such a form of Government as would be con sistent with the cause of the people, and secure them from the interruption of all foreign powers. If he had studied his own convenience, he should have named an earlier day, but as it was a subject of great importance, and as pro bably many of their Lordships would wish to take a part in the debate, he begged to say that he would make the mo tion on Friday, and begged that the Lords should be summoned: AFFAIRS OF PORTUGAL. Lord MANSFIELD gave notice that on the 9th of next month he should bring before their Lordship a motion relative to the affairs of Portugal. DISTRESS OF THE COUNTRY. Lard STANHOPE gave notice that he would on to morrow week submit a motion relative to the internal state of the nation.—Adjourned at a Quarter past Fire. HOUSE OF COMMONS-(LAST NIGHT.) The SPEAKER took the Chair at ten minutes to Four o'clock, when a new Member, the name of whom we could not hear, took the oaths and his seat. A Gentleman from the office of the Chief Secretary for Ireland produced several returns ordered by the House. Mr. BERNAL presented a petition from George Gun ning, a half-pay officer in the Dragoon Guards, praying for a revision of the Poor and Corn Laws, and a commu tation of Tithes. Mr. Alderman WOOD moved for various returns re lating to the Wine and Spirit Trade. NEW WRIT. Sir JAS. MACDONALD moved for a New Writ for the borough of Caine, in the room of the Hon. J. Aber.. crombie, who had accepted the office of Chief Baron of Scotland, on the resignation of Sir Samuel Shepherd. Sir G. COOTE moved for a New Writ for Clonmel, in the room of J. M. Dawson, Esq., who had accepted the Chiltern Hundreds. Several petitions were presented from parishes in Suf folk for a repeal of the Malt Tax. Lord F. OSBORNE presented a petition from Cam bridge for a repeal of the Malt Tax. An Hon. AIUMBER, whose name we could not learn, gave notice of a motion for Tuesday, the 16th inst., re lating to Portugal. Lord F. OSBORNE presented a petition from Cam bridgeshire, complaining of agricultural distress, and praying for relief. The petition, on the motion of the Noble Lord, was read at length, ordered to be printed, and the subject to be taken into consideration on Tuesday, the 16th inst. THE ADDRESS. Mr. Secretary PEEL brought up his Majesty's most gracious answer to the Address, (for which see Lords.) On the motion of the Right Hon. Gentleman, it Iva, ordered to be entered on the Journals of the House. Sir J. GRAHAM presented a petition from Cumber land, praying the House, at an early period of the Session, to take into their serious consideration the distressed state of the country. The petition stated, that after a period of fifteen years' peace trade had become less profitable, and profits much less.—(Hear, hear.) — That the distress now felt throughout the country was not confined to any particular class ; it oppressed both the landlord and tenant, the ship-owner, the banker, the miner, and tradesman, of every class and degree—all were falling into a general ruin. The petitioners stated that they could not assign any particular cause for such an universal disaster; but they were of opinion that some general ground existed, and begged of the House to in quire in the fullest manner into the subject. The Ho nourable Baronet said it was not his intention to go into a statement of the vital importance of the subject contained in the petition, as several notices had been given when an opportunity would be afforded of so doing. He would however no* mention that at an early opportunity, he thought on Friday next, if it met the wishes of his Right Hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer, as that day was named for a Committee of Supply, he would move a resolution to the following effect, " That the salaries of all persons employed in a public situa tion, either civil or military, be reduced to the scale of 1797," That was the effect of the resolution he should propose. He was aware that the Hon. Member for Aberdeen had a notice of motion for that night, but he hoped that his Hon. Friend would allow his (Sir J. Gra ham) to take precedence ; be had no doubt but that he would do so, as it would be only in unison with the gene ral tenour of his accommodating spirit.--(Laughter.) Mr. HUME had no hesitation in acceding to the re quest of his Hon. Friend, as it appeared to him that the object of hie Hon. Friend's motion was to effect the reduc tion of the expenditure, and therefore it ought to precede his motion, which had for its object the reduction of taxation. Taking it for granted that his Hon. Friend's motion would occupy a considerable part of Friday evening ; and, unwilling as he was to bring on his own at a late period of the evening, he desired to give notice that 1?e should postpone his motion from Friday until Monday night. Mr. HUME wished to know from the Hon. Gentleman opposite (Sir G. Murray) whether it would be necessary, for him to make a motion for the production of the accounts respecting * 1 7 4 expenditure, IYbi9 bv, had pro! PRICE 7D. mised last year to lay before the House in the course of the present Session. He (Mr. Flume) thought it necessary with the view he and others had to a complete revision of the expenditure of the Colonies, that those accounts should be laid before the House in as correct a manner and to as late a period as was possible. Sir G. MURRAY was not exactly aware . to what ac counts the Hon. Member alluded ; but if he would have the goodness to mention the subj!et to him any day in the course of the week, he would give him all the information in his power. Mr. HUME said that during last Session an account of the revenue of every colony was moved for, and those ac counts should be printed ; when the Hon. Gentleman op posite said that in the course of the ensuing Session he should be able to submit to the House later and more cor rect copies than he had it in his power then to do, such were the accounts now enquired after. Sir G. MURRAY promised that the best and latest accounts that could be procured should within a short time be laid before the House. Mr. HUME said that there was an account which had lately been called the Dead Weight—an account showing the amount of paupers for superannuated allow ances, distinguishing several departments for the years front 1822 to 1825, inclusive, and he now moved for a similar ac count, to be continued for the years 1826, 27, and 28. Also for an account of the advances from the Bank of England to Government, including Exchequer Bills for the years 1827 and 1828, such ns had been laid before the House for the nine preceding years. An account of the foreign corn imported into Great Brit tin and Ireland, distinguishing the foreign and English ships that brought it for the years 1827, 28, and 29 An account of the silver coinage from July 1828 to December 1829. Also an ac count of the funds placed at the disposal of the Crown, not usually as considered coming under the cognizance of Par liament, from each year from 1520 down to the present time. Mr. O'CONNELL presented a petition from Cork, praying the House to take into consideration the situation of negroes in the Britisk Colonies. The petition was passed at a public meeting ealled by ad vertisement, and numerously attended by persons of every religious and political persuasion, who all cordially agreed in the resolutions. Me would not yield to the temp tation of entering into a premature discussion of this subject, but he felt bound to declare his unalterable con', iction that no human being could, consistently with justice, be the pro petty of another human being. He had been desired by the petitioners not to allow the present Session to pass by without applying fur a legislative en actment (which lie should certainly do, should that be left to so humble an individual as himself) to fix a period beyond which no British subject should be born a slave, and if he should not proceed in procuring that enactment, he should move for an Act to admit slaves to redeem themselves from slavery at a fair price. Mr. O'Connell concluded by giving notice that he should bring forward another petition, which complained of the il legality of Mr. Gerard Callaghan's election for Cork on the 25th. Also that on the 15th March he should move for leave to bring in a Bill, declaring that the publication of truth should not be declared libellous.—(Laughter.) COAL TRADE. Mr. TENNYSON brought up the Lords' Report of last Session on the Coal Trade.—To be laid on the Table. MALT AND BEER. Mr. DENISON presented a petition from the malt sters, and others of the Corn Market in London, praying First, for the repeal of the Malt 'Fox ;—Secondly, that the trade in beer should be free;—Thirdly, that there should be a reduction in the Army, Navy, and Civil List; and Fourthly that the interest on a debt contracted in one currency should not be paid in another. The Hon. Mein ber for Essex (Mr. Western) had, on the first night of the Session, called on Members to state the condition in which they had left their constituents; and he, in obedi. ence to that call, had, with sorrow, to declare that the farmers of Surrey were in a moat distressing condition ; most of them living upon their capital rather than their profits, and many of them worse off than the very la bourers. He was as much disposed as any one to do full credit to the obligations which the country owed to the Duke of Wellington; to him they were all indebted for the Repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts, and for the Emancipation of the Catholics ; much, however, still re mained to be done, and all the country looked for reduc tion—not of a few paltry clerks, but of such offices as the Lord Lieutenancy of Ireland, together with every other useless place and sinecure. . . Mr. BROUGHAM—Though agreeing in the greater part of what had fallen from his Hon. Friend, h• could not but deplore one observation which be had made, and which certainly must hare escaped hint in the hurry of speaking. No one felt more strongly than he (Mr. Brougham) did the gratitude the country owed to the Duke of Wellington for a great portion of his public ser vices, and more especially for the carrying the great question of Catholic Emancipation. But with respect to the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts, the credit of that measure was due to his Noble Noble Friend (Lord J. Russell) ; and he (Mr. Brougham), therefore, could not sit still and suffer it to be said that the country had to thank the Noble Duke for that measure. When the measure was brought forward by his Noble Friend, Go vernment opposed it ; bat after a majority of about forty in favour of it, the Right Hon. Gcntlemsn (Mr. Peel) withdrew his opposition, and certainly furthered the Bill through its subsequent stages; and without the support of the Duke of Wellington in the other House, it was possible that the Bill might have been there thrown out. These things were nut immaterial, for in taking away the credit of carrying a measure, when it had been carried contrary to the fate which usually attended such measures, one motive that tended to induce public men to act was taken away. Mr. lIUSKISSON complained of the mistake which had been made in attributing to Mr. Canning a deter mined apposition to the repeal of the Test and Corpora tion Acts: all that his Right Hon. Friend had contended against was the passing of this measure by itself, to the detriment of the Roman Catholic question, which was the more important one. _ _ _ Mr. W. Salmi and Sir R. WILSON corroborated Mr. Huskisson's statement. The former added, that, in his belief, if Mr. Canning's Administration had continued Hp to the present time, the Dissenters would not yet have obtained the boon for which they had sought. Mr. O'CONNELL—The Hon. Member for Surrey had proposed the abolishment of the Lord Lieutenancy of Ireland. To this he (Mr. O'Connell) objected. There were 7,000 persons i❑ Dublin living on the charity of lid. a day; and if the Duke of Northumberland did not spend his thirty thousand pounds a year (which he drew from this country) among them, there would be as many more in the same condition. If the Hon. Gentleman wanted reduction, let him begin with the Lords of the Bedchamber, the Lords of the Admiralty, or the Lords of the Treasury, and he should have his most cordial assistance. Mr. HUME—If the Hon. Member for Clare was right in his principle, every sinecurist would have a right to say, " Continue my income, and I will spend it for the good of the country."—(Hear, hear.)—The only question was whether the duties of the Lord Lieutenant could not be dispensed with. Petition ordered to be printed. Mr. WODEHOUSE gave notice of his intention to bring in a Bill, on Tuesday, the 3d of Marsh, to alter the Act of the 59th of the late King, entitled " An Act to amend the Laws for the Relief of the Poor"—as it regards the rating of the owners of lodging houses, and to extend it to all houses, tkic. let ❑nder ten pounds a year. Mr. WODEHOUSE also gave notice of hie intention, after Easter, to move for a Committee to inquire into the Duties and Regulations respecting Sea-borne Coals. IRISH FIRST FRUITS.

GENTLEMAN also moved for the Reports of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the Irish County H o spitals, their Receipts and Expenditure, and number of Patients.—Ordered. MEXICO. Sir R. WILSON rose to call the attention of the House for a few minutes to a subject of considerable importance which had been incidentally discussed the other evening ; he alluded to our present relations with Mexico. It was well known that a ftw years ago a strong force was as sembled at CartLarne and Porto Rion, which produces{ considerable expense and alarm to the Republic, and not a little to the commercial interests in this country, who had millions of property awaiting the result of the inva sion meditated by Spain. The Mexicans threatened Cuba with a strong force, and information to that effect having' reached Mr.:Canning, he sent for Mr. Hurtado, the Envoy here, and told him it was his dray to state, that England would not permit any attack npou Cohn on the part of the Republics of Colombia and of Mexico, inasmuch as such an attempt might excite a negro insurrection there, and probably extend itself to our West India Colonies. Thi■ declaration of Mr. Canning was conveyed to the Go vernments of the two Republics, and we, acquiesced in by Bolivar. They dispersed their forces with the hope that, having acted in conformity with the views of the British Government, no prejudice would exist against their resisting any attack which might be wade against them by Spain. Mexico and Colombia both suffered severely by being obliged to keep up a large naval force ; they were partly obliged to aban sort it; and they made application to the British Govern ment to be protected against any attacks upon the part df the Mother Country. They asked, at ail eeeiftro that thtt should be strictly neutral, and preserved from any itt4cl. which might be directed against them from Cuba. ''kid occurred in 1827, and reclamation, were made to this Government, chewing the evils which would be inflicted upon the republic if an attack from Cuba were permitted. A further application to this effect was made, when Bar radas was at Cuba, and about to land in Mexico, where he imagined that the sight of the Spanish banner would soon find ranged under it the Mexican population. He landed, and soon discovered that this illusion had ceased, and that they disliked the Spanish yoke ; but though they defeated Barradas, still they were in no small degree of anxiety as to future attacks, for so far was Spain from abandoning the attempt, that she was forming another. expedition, and that expedition was to sail from Cuba. It was, therefore, now but fair that Mexico should kilo* what our policy towards her was in this respect, and that the British property embarked in that eottritri should not be liable to confiscation or destruction. When Laborde put to sea, a report prevailed that an insurrection had taken pilot in Colombia ;--he hovered off her coast for about forty days, but finding the insurrection not so bad as he was led to expect, he returned to Porto Rico. Daring these transactions this province of Venezuela was obliged to keep up a force tot vhf-defence, which had the effect of preventing the Mexican bondholders from receiving their dividends last November. Again he begged to call the attention of the Right Hon. Gentleman and of the House to the Rtatf of Mexico, as it regarded the advantages held out to hug= land by the early acquirement of the precious metals, the produce of her mines ; advantages which had been so forcibly recommended to their attention on a former night by the Right Hon. Member for Liverpool. He would state facts which had been verified as relating to one ar ticle of trade with this country, employed in working the mines of South America. In 1827 and 1828, there was consumed in the mines of Mexico only, quicksil►er im ported from this country to the following amount :—ln 1827, the quantity exported was 379,379 (ounces, we believe) ; in 18t5, it was 661,3223; and in December, January, and February, 1829-30, the exportation gave a proportion of 1,310,400 for the year. Could there be a greater proof than this of the advantages to be derived by the commerce and manufactures of this country, from protecting Mexico against foreign interference, which in- , tempted her industry, and distracted the progress of her internal improvement? In 1827 and 1828, the quick silver exported from this money was worth from 45 to 55 dollars in Mexico, whereas, such was the increase in the demand and the price, that it appeared from intelligence received by the last packet that some had now sold for 80 and 85. These were positive advantages to our interest; but it was not on that account alone that he wished the influence of the Government to be used in preserving the peace and tranquillity of the South American States. He desired that this country should not be accused of acting with a partiality which degraded her, and of abusing the power which she possessed over the welfare of these States. The questions he had to put to the Right Hon. Gentleman were these :—First, whether any prohibition, restraining Mexico and Colombia from attacking Cuba and Porto Rico, was intended to be maintained by this Go vernment ? And if so, whether the same restraint would not be hereafter imposed upon Spain as far as Cuba and Porto Rico were concerned ; that was, whether thou places should not be considered as neutral countries, from which no attacks should be prepared or made upon Mexico or Colombia? If such a prohibition had formerly ' existed against any hostile operations on the part of Mexico, he wished to know whether it would net now be considered in the nature of a dropped order in that House, and that Mexico would be at liberty, in the case of any further hostile interference from Spain, to invade Cuba, as long as she observed the obligations and acted according to Ere laws of war ? Mr. Secretary PEEL could assure the Hen. Gent. that on this, as upon every other occasion, it was his desire to answer any question put to his Majesty's Government in that House respecting the foreign policy of the country, as excuse point him f if suchhe did deep n n importance, tnnntent m s that el f the with would g i ving ou frankly and as cl e a r ly as well coLsistent with the general interests of the State. B u t h e f e l t th ese quest i ons to in volve a a simple answer to the questions of the Hon. Gentleman, but entered into a short explanation of the facts, and of the intentions and policy of the Government. 'When * Noble Friend of his on a former night pet a question to him upon the same subject, he answered it upon the strength of his recollection ; and if he had then fallen into any mistake as to the occurrences which had been referred to, he was sure the House would readily have pardoned him when they considered that seven or eight years had intervened since they took place. But in the interval since that discussion, he had referred to the documents, and found that his recollection upon all the substantial points had been correct. He then stated his impression of the facts to be, that in 1823 ale. Canning, then being Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, made a public declaration that England would not resist any attempt made by Spain t* re-establish her power and authority over her revolted colonies. At the same time Mr. Canning declared that England would not recognise the right of any other fsrsign power to ally herself to Spain for the purpose of aiding her in such an attempt ; but that if it were made by the Mother Country, and by her own resources, then that this Government would not interfere, but observe a strict neutrality between the contending parties. His Noble Friend had said that something more was added, about the difficulty of main taining a strict neutrality ; and it had been further asserted that Mr. Canning prohibited any counter attempt upon Cuba on the part of the South American States. His answer to that was that if any prohibition was issued by Mr. Canning, prohibiting Mexico from attacking Cuba, he was confident that it had been made upon some pecu liar ground, involving perhaps the common interests of humanity, or some particular and paramount interest of this country. Upon examining the records of these transactions, he found that his view of Mr. Canning's motives had been the true one. In the notes of a Con ference between Mr. Canning and the Prince de Polignac, which took place on the 9th of October, 1823, he found tt'at Mr. Canning made this important declaration :—" That the British Government would not only abstain from inter fering to prevent 6pain from resorting to any negeciaticos for the recovery of her Colonies, but would aid her in such negoeiations; and in any ease lee strictly neutral, even if war should be resorted to by Spain herself.— But that, if Spain should form a junction with any other foreign power who would aid her in the war, then that the British Government would consider another ease to have arisen, and its conduct would be influenced by other views." This was the ground taken by Mr. Canning, and he re ferred with pleasure to another part of the document, in which the Prince de Pongees, on the part of France, dis claimed in any case the intention of joining in hostile measures against the South American Colonies. Thus far the declarations of Mr. Canning on the question were in their possession. lie had no recollection of any others, and there was no record of any such prohibition as that alluded to. If any such had been made, the probability was, that it had been verbal, and of this he was certain, that it was made as an exception to the general rule, and justified by some peculiar considerations growing out of the circumstances of the case, either relating to the com mon interest of humanity, as he had said before, or to sonic paramount considerations of State. He had said that there was no record of the act, or of the motives which dictated it; but if Mr. Canning did make such a prohibition, he should think it rather referred to the man re.riin which the war was likely to be carried on. This he was bound to st ite in justice to the memory of Mr. Can ning—so strong did he feel the desire of promoting the tranquillity of the South American Colonies—so anxious was he to prevent the revival or the opening of fresh hostilites I etNeen them and the Muther Country, that in 1824, just previous to our recognition of their inde pendence, he offered Spain to guarantee to her the pox srssion of Cuba, upon condition of her entering into ne gociations, the basis of which should be, that their inde pendence should be formally recognised. If, therefore, any such prohibition was ever declared by Mr. Canning, lie was satisfied that it must have been made upon sonic special grounds.
