Dedel to Prince Talleyrand sod Lord Palmerston on the 23d of March 1833, to which allusion was made in the reply of those Plenipotentiaries, pub lished on Monday last : " PROJECT OF A CONVENTION. " Their Majesties the King of the Lew Countries, Grand Duke of Luxemburg, the King of the French, and the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, being desirous of establishing 13,tween them rela tions such as existed previous to the month of November, 1832, have resolved to conclude for that purpose a con vention, and have named their Plenipotentiaries as follows (names here inserted), who hive agreed on the following articles:— . " 1. Immediately after the exchange of the ratifications of the present convention their Majesties the King of the French and the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland will raise the embargo which they have laid on the vessels, ships, and merchandize belonging to the subjects of his slajesty the King of the Low Countries ; and all the vessels which are det tined with cargoes shall be instantly set at liberty, and restored to their respective owners. * In like manner his Ma jesty the King of the Low Countries shall revoke the measures carried into effect in his dominions with respect to the French and English flags. "2. At the same time the Dutch soldiers, as well belonging to the marine as to the Royal army, now de tained in France, shall return to the dominions of his Majesty the King of the Low Countries, with their arms, baggage, carriages, horses, and other articles, belonging either to them as a corps or as individuals. " 3. In the interval, until the conclusion of a definitive Treaty of Peace, destined to regulate the sepnation of Belgium from Holland, there shall be, to the Ist of August next, a complete armistice between the troops of his Majesty the King of the Low Countries, Grand Duke of Luxemburg, and the Belgian troops. " 4. During the armistice the navigation of the Scheldt shall take place on the same footing as before the Ist of November last. * The Belgian troops shall evacuate the places on the two sides of the river, from the paint called La Pyp de Tabac to below the village of Doel, and the fort Frederick Henry, which they did not occupy on the Ist of November, and shall re-esta blish matters there en the same footing as they were prior to that period. " 5. Immediat. ly after the exchange of the ratifications of the present Conven,ion, the navigation of the Meuse shall be open to commerce, and until a definitive Treaty shall be decided on his subject, it shall be subject to the arrangements of the Convention signed at Mentz on the 31st March, 1831, for the navigation of the Rhine, insofar as the said arrangements can be applied to the aforesaid river. a * * The communication between the fortress of Maestricht and the frontier of North Bra bant, and between time said fortress and Germany, shall be tree and without any obstreetion. " 6. The High Contracting Parties engage themselves to invite iintneoiately the Courts of Austria, of Prussia, and of Russia to enter, together with them, without delay, into the formation of a definitive treaty of separation be • tween Holland and Belgium. " 7. Time exchange of the ratification) of the present convention ta:all take place in London within the term of ten days, or sooner if possible."

LIVERPOOL. THE INFLUENZA. This curious disorder, which has been raging in London for some weeks, attacking, like love, " both high and low, great people and the small," suspending the dinner parth of the Duchess of KENT. driving Lord ALTHORY, and even Mr. HUME, from their posts—giving the thieves at the Old Bailey a chance of escape, by pouncing upon the RECORDER-putting an end to the pirouettes at the Opera, and the legitimate drama at Drury-lane and Covent-gar den—and more than decimating the new police—has travelled as far north as Liverpool, where it is now firmly established. It seems to be .(pally unceremonious here, running through whole families, and attacking man, worn in, and child. Happily it does not appear to be at all dangerous, though we can bear witness, fi urn our own experience, that the head-aches, p ibis in the back and limbs, soreness in the throat, and other symptoms of the disease, are extremely disagreeable. Coining, however, after the epidemic of last year, it seems nothing ; and, as the man with the gout, thanked Heaven that he had the gout and not the stone, so we may feel equally thankful that we have got the influenza, aud not the cholera.— Liverpool Times. STEAM-OMNIBUS.—Monday afternoon an omnibus worked by steam, on a new and ingenious prin ciple, was tried on the Paddington-road. The inventor is Mr. WALTER HANCOCK, of Stratford-le-Bow, who has obtained a patent for his very useful discovery. The ma chine altogether does not exceed the space which an ordinary omnibus with horses attached would occupy, end the appearance is peculiarly neat. The body is capable of accommodating fourteen persons, the engine dividing that from the furnace in the rear. The passengers experience no inconvenience from hear, and coke being the fuel employ, d there is no annoyance by smoke. The engine works on a crank, not on the axle, and the propelling power is applied to the wheels by means of iron clia,n , The chief recommendation, that which timid persons will consider most, is that there can be no possibility of explo sion. The propelling power is equal to from fifteen to tweiry miles an hour, but even when the steam is raised to its very highest pressure there is no risk, the water be ing deposited in several ;inn pipes, or what are termed chamber boilers, with a valve to carry off the superfluous steam. The guide, who sits in front, has complete con trol of the vehicle, and can arrest its progress instantane ously. It left the Patent Steam Coach Company's yard, in Charles-street, City-road, at four o'clock, with a full complement of passengers, chiefly ladies, guided in this instance by Mc. Ilmicocx, the patentee. At first it proceeded at a pace of about six miles an hour; but having cleared the crowd, who assembled in large num bers to witness the exhibition, the velocity was increated to the rate of ten miles an hour. It is intended to ply regularly from Paddington to the Bank. past four o'clock. Mr. LEONARD presented a petition from Epping, for a national system of education to be established for the poorer classes of the community. Mr. HUME thought this one of the most important petitions that could be presented to the House. There was at present a state of crime and demoralization pre vailing throughout this country that was appalling to the least thinking man, and unless some cl exit was put to that state of things, i❑ a very short time it would be impossible to say what would become of persons and of property. If, with a reform of Parliament, the country was not to have a useful reform, of what use was Parliament at all ? There was to be no reduction of taxation —no relief for the press—( Hear)—but 22 millions of money was to be continued in carrying on a civil and military go verntnent —(Hear, hear) —no raslical relief was to be given all was to be trifling and unimportant.—(Cheers.) Ever. the reform of the church, was there any thing radical' , beneficial in that?—(Loud cheers.) Quite the reverse. There was a pretty strong proof given of it at a meeting in the city last night, where a pretty good index of public mind could be formed; and the Hon. Member wished that Ministers could only have been behind the scene at a meeting to-day which he (Mr. H.) had attended, of 3,000 or 4,000 persons, not of the lower and working classes, but of respectable householders, assembled together to petition for the reduction of the hi,use and window taxes. He would have been glad if Lords Grey or Brougham could only have witnessed the manner in which - the mention of their names was received. The people were not to be con tinued to be trifled with in the way in which they had been. AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS. After a few words from Messrs. Dare, O'Connell, Ben vesting their money in the public funds, but be left to in vest it in whatever way they chose. Mr. SLANEY disclaimed any intention of proposing that the individuals in question should not invest their money as they chose, or should not draw it out when they liked. The object of his proposition was to give them a better security than they now enjoyed. Leave was then given to brine in the Bill. THE BALLOT. ne tt, and Sir M. W. Ridley, and the presentation of peti tions by several Hon. Members, Lord ALTHORP gave no!ice that on Tueiday next, he would move for the appointment of a Select Comtnittee to inquire into the present state of aerieulture.—(Hear.) Mr. PHILPOTTS presented a petition from Glouces ter, signed by a number of highly-respectable persons, com plaining of the oppression which had been sustained by many of the electors at the last general election, and pray ing that, as the only mode by which that oppression could be obviated in future, Parliament would enact that the vote should be taken by way of ballot. " TO THE HONOURABLE THE COMMONS OF THE NITED KINGDOM IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBL I). " THE HUMBLE PETITION OF THE UNDER SIGNED ELECTORS AND INHABITANTS OF GLOUCESTER, Showeth,--That the oppressive practices of many wealthy and influential persons, resident within this city and in its neighbourhood, since the general election in December last, and during a recent contest for a seat in your Hon. House, compel your petitioners to lay before you a statement of their grievances, and of their formed opinion, that freedom of elec tion in this place, and, as they tear, throughout the country, can be ensured by no other means than the adoption of the system of vote by ballot. " That your petitioners are not insensible to the truth, that if no other than legitimate influence were exerted, open suffrages would, as the most manly, be the far preferable mode of exer cisin,, the elective franchise. To the desire for change they have been driven by the acts of men who arrogate to themselves the right, and usurp the power, of controlling the expression of public opinion. " That not only has the intimidation, not unfrequently prac tised, been resorted to in the inordinate exercise of the rights of creditors, of landlords, of masters, of Magistrates, of Clergymen, and of public functionaries, but very many tradesmen, dreading great pecuniary losses, and, in some instances, even the ruin of themselves and their families, did not dare, at the recent elec tion, to exercise the rights conferred upon iem by the Reform Act, in defiance of the urgent threats of their richer customers and the avowed adoption, by the Tory Party, of a system of dealing exclusively with tradesmen who are accustomed to vote for a Tory candidate, regardless of the injuries thus inflicted upon respectable men for no other cause than their acting upon their own opinions. That this latter species of oppression, as it cannot constitutionally be encountered by any legal restriction or penal enactment, is an evil for which your petitioners perceive no other remedy than the introduction of the ballot " Though gross bribery has been practised at the recent con test, and though the ballot is an undoubted means of preventing that crime, yet inasmuch as the law in that respect, though not sufficiently strict, is, when enforced,very penal towards offenders, your petitioners do not deem it necessary to draw the attention of your Honourable House more expressly to that subject ; feel ing, however, that the poorer classes of the community require protection against a sort of oppression which cannot be included within the precise legal definition of any crime. " Your petitioners humbly pray, that your Honourable House will be pleased to protect every man in the due exercise of his constitutional rights, by passing a Bill for taking votes by ballot at the elections of Members of Parliament for cities and boroughs." Mr. GROTE said that be rose to bring before the House the motion of which he had given notice, respect ing the method of taking the votes at elections for Mem bers of Parliament. It was his intention to propose that they be taken secretly instead of openly. He could have wished that the motion had fallen into hands abler and more practised in the business of the House than he could boast of being. But though many Members might be fount] better qualified to do justice to the question than himself, there was none who took in it a warmer or a deeper interest. There were few men who hail more carefully considered the comparative expediency of open and secret voting, or who had taken greater pains to understand the working of the elective franchise under both modifications. His conviction of the necessity of a secret suffrage, and of the gross mischiefs inseparable from an open suffrage, was now of long standing ; and every subsequent reflec tion on the matter—all examination into the details of elections—had tended to confirm and corroborate this opa uion. Strongly, however, as he felt the importance of the change which he was urging, he should scarcely have been hold enough to insist upon it if it had been anywise inconsistent or at variance with the provisions of the late great measure of Reform—a measure to which he could not allude without his humble tribute of admiration and gratitude; but it would be in the recollection of the House that the Noble Lord who introduced the Reform Bill men• tioned in his opening speech the question of the ballot, with the particular object of declaring that he pronounced no opinion upon it, and that it must be left for subse quent consideration. He might, however, go a step fur ther, and affirm, that since the discussion on the Reform Bill, the ballot stood upon a ground still more favour able than that which it occupied before that period. He considered the Reform Bill the first approach to a real re presentative system. Up to that moment, representative eovernment in Great Britain and Ireland had been snore talk and supposition than reality—it had been an irregular congeries of ancient ceremonies, carrying the symbols, but not bearing the fruits of popular election.—(Hear.) It would have been unavailing to propose any better mode of taking votes, as hen the whole business of voting was iliu-ory, and when the legitimate purpose of voting was neither defined nor recognised. But now, thanks to the R.-form Bill, something like order and principle had been substituted for this chaos. They knew the end which t cy had to attain, and they could direct their thoughts deliberately to the best means of attaining it. The great decree bad gone forth that nomination was to be alto gether extinguished, and representation substituted in its place. The idea of a sham representation was now banished amidst the disgraces and mischiefs of the past. The Ministers of the Crown, in proposing their Reforw Bill, announced their design of so constituting Otis Parliament, as that it at length should enjoy, and cork tnand, and deserve the coati fence of the people. He honoured and reverenced them for the recognition of that great and glorious object—he honoured them, no: only for the recognition of it, but for the mighty stride which they had made towards its accomplishment_ the utmost, as he believed in his conscience, which it wa possible for them to do in the situation in which they them stood. He gladly joined hands with them, and he de sired nothing better than the full attainment of the nob!, purpose which they announced.—( Hear.) Let the Howe beer upon its front the full mark and impress of the people's confidence—let it carry in its fabric and mode of election unequivocal evidence that its Members, collectively and individually, possessed the confidence of the people ; let that be assured, and be for one should be amply sail-• fi , rl.—(Cheers.) It was upon that principle that the 11 iu,e last year recognised their constituent body. They gave it a new f.rin, they increased it in number, and dis tributed it into new classes and detachments. They dis carded the ancient constituency, because it was not cal culated to insure a Legislature possessing the confidence of the people, and they created a new constituency, se lected and adapted to that end. He called upon theta now to complete this work, by reviewing the mode o taking votes in reference to the same end. He caller upon them, no less in consistency with their own aim an i purpose, than with a view to the settlement of a mo important subject, to consider whether they were most likely to obtain a Legislature possessing the full confidence of the community by taking the votes of electors secretly or openly ; and more than that, whether the beneficent purposes of the Reform Pill might not be to a great degree nullified by an unwise and mischievous way of collecting the votes. The House were aware that seer t suffrage was preferred in France, and in '2O out of the 24 States of the Atuericau Union.

He did not cite the case of France in proof of the goodness of the ballot ; but be cited the case most confidently in proof of its efficacy in ensuring freledom of voting. He relied fully and surely upon the bal l ot as a means of extinguishing and cutting up by the roots all compulsion over the voter. He relied upon it too, as going very far to put an end to bribery, much further than any penal Act could do, while the suffrage continues open; though he admitted that there was a particular descrip tion of bribery—a s .rt of wholesale or collective bribery— which might still be practised, even under the ballot. A man might offer to give a considerable sum among the aggregate of the voters of any given place, conditional upon his being returned Member. But it was to he re collected that this was a transaction not a little hazardous, and very likely co bring about an exposure.—(Hear, bear.) The ballot might not render bribery altogether impracticable; but it will render it much more difficult, much more complicated, and much more dangerous to the parties concerned ; and he would remind them, that for one vote perverted by bribery, there were fifty perverted by intimidation.—(Hear.) Others again there were who objected to the ballot, not ou the score of inefficacy, but from pure dislike of secrecy in any ease. It led, they said, to mendacity and promise -breaking; for a dependant under the ballet, after having promised a vote to his supe rior, might break his promise with impunity, and vote against him at the poll. Now, it was very true that ato nant voting by ballot might thus break his promise, but why should they expect that he would do so? There could be but one answer—because the promise bad been given contrary to his genuine and conscien tious feeling.—(Blear, hear, Lear.) In no other case could he be tempted to violate it ; for if it were given of his own heart and freewill, and coincident with his own conscience, he would feel pleasure in performing it and pain in violating it, whether the performance were open or secret —(Hear, hear.) The mere supposition, there fore, that a voter would be disposed to break his promise, implied that he had promised contrary to his inclinations, and therefore by some extraneous force or compulsion. It: was from these compulsory promises alone that the chance of promise-breaking arose.—(Hear, hear.) Let any man just contemplate the nature of this compulsory promise, and mark what was involved in it. Preferring Ain his conscience, the elector has been constrained to promise to vote for B; he had promised to give an insincere and dis honest vote—to tell a known and deliberate lie at the poll. A promise like this involved the necessity of lying one way or the other—the voter must, at all events, play the liar, either to his country if be executed the promise, or to his superior if he broke it,. Compere these two lies, between which the voter in this dilemma had to choose. What falsehood could be worse than a dishonest vote at the poll? Was it not a falsehood told under the most a wful circumstances—a falsehood told in express violation of a solemn trust towards his country, which called upon, him to speak the truth—a falsehood which went to ob trude upon his country a bastard and suppositieus :eine sentative, and to vitiate the whole fabric and spirit of the Legislative Assembly ? What comments would be made upon a juror a ho delivered a dishonest verdict, or upon a witness who knowingly deposes an untruth in open Court ? You treated them as vile and dishonoured out casts, and you treated them justly. Yet note well, that whatever be the hurt that these judicial trust breakers did in poisoning the fountains of justice, an equivalent hurt was done by the electoral trust-braker in poisoning the fountains of Legislation.—t Hear.) He hail taken pains to present to the House forcibly this horn of the dilemma, because gentlemen were very fond of dwelling exclusively on the other. They talked as if the only lie wbic; a voter could tell, arid the only wrong which Le could commit, were the breaking faith with one who bad ex torted from him a dishonest promise. He (Mr. Grote) said that there was another and a greener wrong which he might commit—the breaking of faith with the public— (Cheers)—and he said further, that one of the two he must infallibly commit if he bad given such a promise. It; the eyes of the House particularly, as the recogniee. guardians of the public interest, the performance of a public• trust must be the first of all things to be enforce). 31 the person to whom trust was confided pledged himself It some private covenant to violate it, they mostcompel him to forfeit his covenant and execute his trust. They would, condemn and censure him for entering into so crirained .. covenant ; but they would not allow hien to make the ire, morality of the covenant an excuse for the still water immorality of violating the trust.—(Cheers,) He was almost ashamed to load them with illustrations of a prig ciple so obvious. But suppose be was juror in a particular cause, and pledged himself beforehand to find for the plain tiff, right or wrong ; or suppose he was subpoenaed as, witness, and pledged himself to depose to false statemet* in Court, because he had given this iniquitous promise war, he to be held warranted in committing the iniquitous act to which it pledged him ? Not if he had promised it evet so frequently and solemnly. To promise to do wrong was in itself a heavy sin; but to do actual wrong in execution of that promise was a second sin still heavier than the first, and instead of clearing the conscience of the promiser, imprinted upon it a still deeper stain of guilt.—(Hear.) So it was with the electoral trust ; a voter was criminal when he promised to violate it, but be was still moeo, criminal when he violated it in fact,. pursuant te, thee promise. He would, in illustration of this truth, Bead * :ew lines out of Shakespeare, whose word, will 'tick to their memory much more tenaciously thaq his i— " It is great sin to swear unto a eii, ; But greater sin to keep a 4intul oath.

He prized as highly as any men the sanctity of a promise ; but it was oreposterous to ttcat promise -keeping as if it were the eole and single duty which a man had to perform. It was emongst a number of other duties; and whenever any tigher and more commanding obligation int, rfered, the keeping of the promise became a crime, and the violation of it a duty. Now, the very worst effect which the ballot .ould possibly produce, was to enable these compulsory end immoral promises to be violated with impunity; but .t neither would nor could create any new breach of faith —it neither would nor could introeuce any additional lie mto the bu•iness of voting.

The NoBLE LORD also gave notice that he would at the same time move for the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the state of trade and manufactures.--(Repeated cries of " Hear, hear.") LABOURERS' JOINT STOCK FUND. Mr. SLANEY then rose to bring forward his motion of which be had given notice. The object of his Bill, which he now moved for leave to introduce, was to enable manu facturers and mechanics to insure themselves against tem- porary want of employment, by giving them facilities for creating a joint stock fund vested in the public funds, or other approved and available security. During the present cintury, or at least within the last fifty years, the whole population of England had increased at the rate of 25 per cur., but the manufacturing population had increased at the rate of 50 per cent. At the commencement of that period, the proportion they bore to the agricultural popu lation was one-half—now they were 2to 1. In the same time, they had made a corresponding advance in intelli gence ; and though they hail made, in some cases, provi sion for themselves, they were still exposed to the evils of being occasionally thrown out of employment. They were e xposed to all the evils of a fluctuating demand for their labour. The causes of the alterations in the demand for labour were either foreign or domestic. Of the former, he might mention changes in the commercial laws of other countries. Thus the alteration in the American Tariff had an immediate effect on our iron trade. At Wolver- 11..mpton the demand for its manufactures was much les sened, and the demand for the labour of the people much diminished. In the same town, during the war, the de mand for locks, hinges and other coarse iron manufactures for exportation, was considerable ; but since the peace, when our nekithours had become our rivals, ►he demand for these articles had diminished one-sixth, and the great body of the people had been thrown into a situation of want and distress. Political alterations had the same effect as alterations in the commercial laws. There was a change in the demand for labour, arising from a change in habits and fashions, which sometimes threw hundreds and thousands of persons out of employ m-nt. During the transition from one employment to another, and until the workmen were taken up by the new manufacture, they suffoed most severely. Surely it was not unworthy of the House to endeavour to find a remedy. There was also a change from local cause. Manufacturers migrated from one place to another, which caused a con tinued fluctuation of demand fir labour in different dis tricts, and expo-ed masses of men to great distress. The discoveries in art also produced changes in the condition of the people. Thus, the invention of the power loom, by introducing a ct caper mode of weaving, had deprived the hand loom weaver of employment. Changes were also brought about by the violence of the workmen themselves. Thus, the conduct of the carpet-weavers had driven much of that manufxture tts Scotland. The use of canals and rail roads might have a similar effect. A deficient harvest or any insecurity of property might also lead to similar results. The consequence of all these circumstances was, that there was never a time when a great number of people might not be found in distress and out of employ ment in some parts of the country. The remedy which he meant to propose was no wonder-working plan—was no forced legislative enactments—it was nothing compulsory; it was simply permissive, and would facilitate an d allow the workhouses to put their funds in a safe place, to ensure tl emselees against the evils he bad mentioned. What was wanted was, something, when wages were high, to encourage and enable the people to lay by part of tinge wages for a season when wages might be low. Ttiere was one trade in which a system was established that a person out of work should travel about the country—it was called the tramp system—and when they came to a town where there were any persons of their trade, they had a right to receive a penny from every workman, with a lodging and supper for two or three days, till it was seen whether they could be taken up by the demasd for labour. That was a provision against a defective demand for labour, though it was imperfect. Another plan had been followed by the carpet weavers of Kidderminster. When men were out of work, they had a right to receive a certain contribution from each man in work till they got work again. This plan, ton, was defective, but it enabled the men, when thrown out of work, to bear it till they again got employment. Another, and the most complete plan was adoved by a large class of workmen of the great city of London—be alluded to the tailors—who were divided into three classes-Ist workmen, 2d workmen, and 3d workmen. When any of these were thrown out of employment, they went to the houses of call, and there received an allowance per day in proportion to their skill. So well was their scheme orgarized, that it never was known that any per son of this society applied for parochial relief. Other trades had similar societies, but they suffered from not having a sufficient control over their own funds, and from not having an easy and secure mode of investing their money. There was a difficulty of large bodies acting together, anti apportioning their labour to the demand for it, which having a fund, of this kind, might lessen. If they had a fond of this kind, when work was slack, they might riork for only two or three days in the week, and thus allow the goods in the market to be gradually ab wawa till the demand for their labour was revived. He would extend the principles of the Friendly Societies' Act. The House was probably aware, th it by the 10th Geo. IV. cap. 56, they were allowed to provide against in fancy, old age, sickness, or other natural stale, or contin gencies which would be made a matter of calculation, and be reduced to an average. That part of the Act com pletely excluded the workmen from taking advantage of it to provide a fund against want of employtn: nt. That the people would be willing to provide against such a contingency, was, he thought, proved by the number of them who subscribed to friendly so cieties. According to the last returns, these societies numbered a million subscribers, embracing at least, with their families, four millions of persons. lie proposed to enable the manufacturers to form, by their own means, a joint fund, which they might deposit in plaaes of security, such as the Savings' Banks or the public funds, so as to provide against a want of employment. He wished also to fence that fund round with m-asures of legal safety similar to those applied to the funds of friendly societies. lie would notice one objection to his plan, which he knew many thin. sletnbers would regard as an important objec tion. He would only say a few words on the subject to those who objected to any measure of this sort, on the around that it would afford facilities for combinations for illegal purposes. Were they theta to proceed upon tl e principe that a thing was not to be used because it was possible to abuse it? The Hon. Member then referred to
