[From the Niagara Patriot, Feb. 26.1 We learn that the ice which had formed tlie vionderfu. bridge across the Niagara river between Lewiston and Lake - Ontario, begins to give way, leaving in some instances, large masses in the middle of the stream insulated- from the rest, and immovable. These islands of ice it -is supposed rest on the bottom, as they resi s t a s t rong current, in about eighty feet water ! . . YORE, (U.C.) I.—Dirous not only of giving due prase to the intelligent and industrious farmer, but to hold out encouragement to others for exertion, we with great pleasure mention Mr, John Robins, who is described to us as the most spirited farmer in the Township of NI - indham in the London Astrict.- He has brought to thi s mar k e t near l y t DI bushels, of clover-seed, gathe re d f r om about 12 acres of ground, which yielded also 18 tons of good hay; thus affording a handsome return for the care bestowed. KINGSTON . , (15. C.) MARCH G. PROVINCIAL PA R LIAMENT.—With the aid of a supple mentary sheet, we are enabled to lay before our readers Parlia mentary proceedings to the 24th ult. Our Representatives cer tainly proceed very leisurely in the business df Legislation ; but if their d e lib era ti ons ultimately tend to promote the pros „perizy and happiness of the Province, we. will be amply fora pensated for a protracted Session. The petitions of the inha bitants of Hallowell and Adolphustown, relat:ve to the esta blishment of a Loan Office, &c. appear to have attracted the attention of the House of Assembly. How far such, a .project proVe beneficial, we are rot competent to _decide. We hope, however, Alin some measure may be adopted to relieVe the country from its present embarrassment. EARLY GAT x ON.—Th e Niagara Gleaner. mentions the anival of the sloop RiChmond, Capt. Oates, - from York_ it being her second trip this season. 1110:yr REAL, MAncu 7.—Shocking Accident —A few days ago a e'en teelfarin mined PeacOck, residing n ear Capt.WilseY' s , in th e Township of Hemingsford, went out to the place where one of his sons was felling trees on , a farm lately purchased by him, when a large tree fell, and killed him on :the spot, the son not observing the father until too late to give hith notice of the danger. He has left an amiable wife and a large family to depiorehis untimely end. The deceased was a native of Nor thumberland, England, and arrived in this pro Vince last sum— irer. MARCH 10—We have seen the prospectus of a. work on the Statistics of Canada, entitled " The Emigrant's Assistant; or, Remarks on the Agricultural Interest of the Canadas, by A. J. Christie, A.M. From the knowledge Doctor Christie has ob tained through various authentic channels, of the subject of this work, no doubt can be entertained that it will be a highly va luableacquisition to our local information ; the public mind has not been over anxious to discover the many advantages pos scsnd by this country, in agricultural pursuits ; as the strength cf a community is a hardy industrious yeomanry, as that wealth which enriches the people is most conducive to national pros perity, any work which ser ves t o p ave th e wa y t o these desirable objects ought to be liberally encouraged,, for the value of its ex ample, as well as its positive usefulness ; on all sides we see resrion.to wish that our agrictilture was in a more favourable condition, and to laud the public spirit of the Members of the Agricultural Society, which promise such increasing benefit to cur country. But a general knowledge of the situation and pe culiarity of our lands is certainly a very desirable object, molt particularly to emigrants. 'We wish the Author all the sue- CCM, which, we are convinced, his work will merit.—(Canadian Courant.) ILLimors.—The Legislature of Illinois have it in contem •plation to connect the Illinois,.River with Lake Michigan, for - the purpose, when o ur E r i e C ana l i s comp l ete d, o f enabling their x'sople to attend the New York market, and purchase and transport their goods at a cheaper rate than they can now pro cure them. Should this project be carried into execution, in three years time the Hudson and Missisippi will be united! KINGSTON, (U.C.) MARCH 9.—We are gratified to observe, that an appropriation of money will be made for opening a rriad in a direct line from this town to the new setttlement on the Ri deau. We hope the grant will be liberal, because the road is quite as important as it .s described to be. QUEBEC, MARCH 15. THE PROVINCIAL PARLIAMENT—The 'business of the present session, we believe, is nearly at a close in both H ouses , and it is generally understood thatthe prorogation will take place in the course of the present week. ' Sixty-two Bills.in all have been introduced in the Assembly, forty-seiren Of whichliave been sent up to the Legislative Coun cil. Four Bills have been sent down from the CoUncil to the Assembly.

Ia 'conseipinice of the loss of the Appropriation Bill in the L2gislative Council, the Assembly went up yesterday with an Address to his Excellency, praying him to advance the money voted, 'which we understand his Excellency declined. An Ad dress to his ExeellOcy, prayini him to transmit an Address to his Majesty, on the subject of the differences between the Gran tees of the Crown and the Censitaires of La Salle, was at the same time presented by the whole House, and also an Address relating to certain Officers on the Colonial Establishment, re siding out of the Province; and others, who hold situations alleged to be incompatible; both of which Addresses his Ex cellency was pleased to say he would transmit to his Majesty's Government in Great Britain. The following Resblutions were adopted in the ASsernbly yesterday, after reading and entering on the Journal th e Reso lutions of the Legislative,Council published in this Paper of the fith inst. ' On the first and second Resolutions ; Resolved, That this House has- never done nor' claimed any thing contrary to what is stated in the said Resolutions of the Honourable the Legislative CounciL On the other Resolutions ; Resolved, That ; the Honourable the Legislative. Council cannot Constitutionally prescribe or dictate to this Hoilse, the manner or form.of.proceeding on Bills of Aid or Supply, nor upon any matter'or thing whatsoever, and that every attempt of .the Legislative Council for that purpose, is a breach of the rightS'and privileges of this House. That. the nght of originating Bills of Aid or Supply, b e l ongs solely and exclusively to this House. Tnat the right of originating Bills of appropriation of public money, belongs solely and exclusivelY to thi s H ouse . That this House are astonished that the Honourable the Le gislative Council have passed Resolutions, and adopted Rules, which affect the Constitutional rights and privileges of this House, without having heard the reasons to the contrary which might have been given on the part of this House. . That the said Resolutions have been adopted by the Honour able the Legislative Council without any difficulty or dispute having arisen between the said Legislative, Council and this . House,.respecting the matters therein set ferth,. and- that the said Resolutions adopted gratuitously and unnecessarily by the said Legislative Council, are of a nature to retard the re-esta hlishment of that harmony and that good understanding be tween the two Houses, which it is so desirable should prevail. for the good government, peace and welfare of the people of this Province. That all Resolutions by which one branch of the Legislature lay down for themselves beforehand, and in a general manner, a rule not to proceed on Bills of a certain form or description which may be offered to them by another branch, is contrary to . parliamentary laws and usages, to the Constitutional Act, and to the liberties, rights and privileges of the other branches of the Legislature, and even of that branch which adopts such Re tolutions. That by constant parliamentary . usage, recognised by s evera l Acts of the Parliament of f1u . ... United Kingdom and the Legif lature of this Pwvince, the Commons of the United Kingdom and the. Assembly of this Province have frequently voted by Address advances of money when the exigencies of the state and country have rendered it necessary, and that this practice, - fir from being disadvantageous, has been of very great assist ance to Government, as the converse would produce incalenl able is convcniznce and. fatal consequences to his Majesty's Ga, vernment. That it is the duty. of this ltduse towards his Majesty and his peopfe, - of this. Province, to take into coosideration all salaries, pensions, and augmentations thereof, and to provide for them with liberality and justice, although the quantum be not men tioned in the recommendation made to this House by the King's Representative. '• • ' - • That tha Honourable the Legislative Council cannot directly or indirectly abridge or prolong the time fiked by Bills of this House for the collection of - any - sum - of money, nor - change the mode established by Bill of tins House either for the collection or application of the public money. - Upon the whole of the proceedings of the two Houses during the present Session, it will probably be said that much has been undertaken, and something done. The misunderstanding be tween the,Legislative Council and the Assembly, relating to the appropriation of • the public monies, will probably be removed by the effect of the Constitution itself, which subjects all par ties to various inc'Jnvenie.nces where there is a want of liar inonv between any of the constituent parts of the Lesislature.— The nr:sent misunderstanding is not at. all surprising; for, in point of fact, the Constitution granted to this Colony by the mother 'country thirty years ago, is but just going into opera tion. Our own precedents of parliamentary proceedings are sometimes contradictory, and those of Great Britain frequently inapplicable to a dependent Government and the local circum stances of the Colony. , 41. - QuEßEceMAncit 25.—Tn the course of the last month a Me morial, of which the following is a copy, was transmitted by his Excellency the Governo: General to the Earl Bathurst, from the Committee of Trade in this City, of which the Honourable W. B; Coltman. is the Chairman. We hope t.incere/y that this re spectful and humble_representation will he attended to by his Majesty's Government at home; and that a dispassionate view will be taken of the capabilities of these Colonies, and the ex etent to which they may be pushed. in aid of the manufactures and resources of Great Britain. A kind, generous, and wise system will make us of :more iinportance. to British industry, than all the old countries of Europe : To the Right Honourable the Earl BATHURST, Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, and one of his Ma jesty's Principal Secretaries of State. The Memorial of the Committee 'of Trade of Quebec, as well on their own behalf as an that of the Merchants of that City, and others interested in the Agricultural and Com mercial prosperity of the Provinces of Lower and Upper Canada, MOST HUMEL:r SHEWETH, That your Memorielists; in common with nearly the whole population of the Canadas, suffer extreme distress from the depreciation of every article of the produce of these P'iovinces. • • That it appears-from the annexed Statement marked A., to the correctness of which your , Memorialists pledge themselves, that the Agriculturist in the remoter parts of Lower 'Canada, and almost throughout Upper Canada, does not receive more than twa shillings and one halfpenny' sterling per Winchester bushel for his surplus - wheat, 'which constitutes the staple arti cle of the growth of both Provinces. That your Memorialists have waited with patience, in the hope that time would have afforded some relief to their suffer ings, but so far from that being the case, they have now before them .the alarming prospect of their Wheat and Flour being the ensuing, and.probably for many future years entirely excluded from the British market. That in the event of these, their well-founded apprehensions, being realized and no relief otherwise afforded them, the stif ferinp and distress of your Memorialists arid - others, his Ma jesty a Canadian Subjects will be increased, so as to threaten to involve the whole population of the Canadas in one common ruin. That under these circumstances, your. Memorialists humbly submit to the wisdom of his Majesty's Ministers, the expe diency of affording every practicable encouragement to the Trade and Agriculture of the Canadas. That from the annexed Statement marked B of the total export of Wheat and Flour for the last four years, furnished officially by the Officers of the Custom s o f thi s Port, whence all the Exports of both Provinces are necessarily made, it ap-, pears evident that the total quantity thereof could not at all effect the market of Great Britain ; taking the average of such. exportation as a fair criterion, as is the actual fact, since they. have recovered from the effects of the late war, and allowing for any reasonable augmentation by the gradual increase of cultivation. • That under a due consideration of thia fact, your 3lemoria lists beg leave respectfully to suggest for the consideration of his - Majesty's.Ministers„ how.far it might not be desirable to modify the Corn Laws of the Empire, so far as relates to Im ports•frnin these _Provinces, either by admitting* the same with out restrictions, or by a reduction of the average rates by which such importation is_ now regulated under the Act of the 55th of the late King, cap. 26 ; either of which measures, whilst they would afford the most •effectual relief to' the Merchants and Agriculturists of these provinces, and to th e numerous classes depend en t upon their industry, could not, in the appre hension of your Memorialists, be attended with any real injury to the other interests of the Empire. That should it, however, not be deemed consistent with a due attention to the more important interests connected with the Corn Laws, to hazard any change in the principles thereof, your Memorialists would hope that no objection could exist to such regulation of the practice under these Laws, as far as relates to these Provinces, as would render the same conformable to the spirit of them 'and at the same time consistent with that protec tion, which the inhabitants of these Provinces might look for as subjects ofshis Majesty; and these latter objects they respect fully submit would, in a great degree - , be effected by making the right of importation of Grain from these Provinces for home consumption in Great Britain, to depend upon the. date of the clearance at the Custom-house here, instead of that of the entry. in Great Ilritain. That by this regulation the inhabitants of thes'e Provinces would actually receive only that protection .which it appears to have been originally intended to grant thein, but which, owing to their distance from the Mother Country, has proved, under the present regulations, nearly nugatory ; as, in the event of importation being allowed in Great Britain for one or two quarters only (as was the case last year) the Agriculturist in the remoter parts of these Provinces has not time to get his Grain to market within the period by which it must be exported to af ford a probable chance of admission into Great Britain and the merchant purch as i ng th e same f or t h e purpose of making a re turn for his imports, finds himself not only disappointed in this object, but inv o l ve d i n f urt h er h eavy advances for the freight and charges of exportation, with a commodity on his hands which he cannot sell but at a ruinous loss. That to provide in detail for giving full effect to the proposed. regulation, it would, however, be necessary that the. Corn Re turns should be transmitted to the Custom-house here, and that all clearances, hence previous. to the receipt of the official advice of the average price having fallen below the rate admitting of, importation for home consumption should entitle the Grain. so Cleared to an entry . in Great Britain.. That should it, however, be found impracticable to transmit the Corn_ Returns to this country, that the same object might in some degree be effected, by giving the privilege sug g ested to all Grain cleared for expor tation hence, previous to the quarterly period, when such Grain shall actually have fallen in Great Britain below the rate of ad mitting of its importation for home consumption from this country. That it further appears to your Memorialists that the placing of the free Ports of Halifax in Nova Scotia and St. John in New Brunswick, and of the Port of St. John's in 'Newfoundland, on the same footing on which Bermuda was placed - by the 49th of the late King, cap. 16, would be a measure tending materially to the relief of the Commercial and Agricultural interests of these Provinces, at the same time that it would operate as a re moval ofthe present onerous regulation, under which Rum, the produce of his Majesty's Sugar Colonies in the West Indies and on time Continent of America, imported from the Ports of Halifax, in Nova Scotia, St. John New Brunswick, 'and St. John's Newfoundland, - in • return for the. produce of the Ca nadas„ is indirectly subjected to a heavy additional duty, in con sequence of there being no exemption from the payment thereof, on' the export of the produce - of Canada to those Ports, as pro vided in favour of the trade from the West Indies direct or from the Island of Bermuda: That the export of Flour from Quebec' to the neighbouring Provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick and to the island of Newfoundland, was last season under 3500 barrels, the small ness of which quantity is ascribed by your Memorialists in a great degree to the abovementioned regulation, which in duces the inhabitants of these Provinces to 'resort - to . the United States not only for what is required for theft• internal consumption, but for what is thence exported- to .the West India Islands. Your Memorialists hiimbly submit, that the adoption of the measure proposed would insure to . the Canadian Agriculturitt a more extensive and certain market for his surplus produce, as the consumption not only of the ports of Halifax, St. John New Eranswick, and St. John's Newfoundland, and the cir cumjacent countries might be abimdantly supplied from the Canadas .but a very considerabl e p ro p or ti on o f t h e s up pli es re quired ior his Majesty's West India possessionif• ' which 'have hitherto been almost exclusively derived fro m the United States of America, might be also furnished from the same source. Your Memorialists beg leaVe, lastly, to: - represent, 'that his Majesty's Canadian subjects, from their local situation, labour under great natural disadvantages; being debarred by their cli mate for one half the year from all commercial intercourse by water with the other parts of his Majesty's dominions, and that ' they humbly conceive, that the last proposed measure w ou ld operate tow: rds their rdhicf in this respect by enabling them to form depots of the produce of- the Canadas at .Halifax .and St. John's, whenCe the Sugar Colonies in the West . Ind c • might be in a great measure supplied during the Winter months, - and moreover that in return for the advantages afforded thereby to the commerce and navigation of these Colonies, regulations might be adopted by them, under the influence of his Majesty's Ministers, for some modified enforcement of the system origin ally established for the British North American Colonies, under the Statute 28 Geo. 3. cap. 6, and intended to secure the supply of the home consumption of these Colonies to the Agriculturists thereof, under which, by such , reguldtips as toguard against the possibility of injury to any party,-eaehlyOftioA of the.Colg nists- might best profit of their natural advantages.

ONT REAL, MARCH I7.—(FinT. - ..)—Yesterday morning, between five and six o'clock, a fire broke out ie the Mansion House Hotel, and by half-past ten, reduced all the interior to ashes. The cause of it has not yet been ascertained; but it is surmised that it was occasioned by sparks having fallen from a candle or candles with which the musicians, who had been Playing at a ball.of the Montreal Social Assembly till late on that morning, were lighting themsel ves th roug h a d ar k passage, next the roof , that canununicates between the orchestra and the centre of the building. This is the more likely as one of the waiters, before going- to bed, : went round all the lower Apart, ments and found every thing safe:. but, when the alarm was given, looked out of the window and saw the flames evidently issuing from that story in which the passage. before mentioned was situated. However this may be, the progress of the flames was 'such as that in less than an hour they had seized both wings„ the engines being unable to arrest them. It wasa piteous Spectacle to see the splendid ball roam filled with lire and smoke; infestooned curtains. curling and shrinking in the blaze ; the fine 'stuccOwork crackirpr and falling; end the scene - of so much for mer ga i e t y and pleasure converted into an , 'enormous furnac e; th e l ustres. int ed, composed of 30,000 pieces, were .snatched from the devouring element ; but with such precipitation, and consequently, damage, as to have been rendered totally unserviceable. Most of the moveables in the lower suite of rooms, including the plate and c hi na o f The-Ba chelor's Cl u b, the furniture of the Beaver Club, and the con tents of the Montreal Library, were fortunately preserved, though somewhat damaged in the removal. The building, owned by Mr..MoLsoz•r, was insured for 12,0001.; Mr. MAR TINET'S furniture, plate, &c- for 3,0001. ; both at the Phoenix Office. Thus ho e s been dismantled one Of the greatest orna ments of our city : its bare walls alone reinaining. The stables and other buildings on the extensive premises; sustained no da ma..e ; so that there still stands in the rear a comfortable inn and other accommodations for travellers. '( To be continued.) EAST IND I ES. As Captain GRANT, of the Marine, and lately commanding a vessel in the Guycowar service" was proceeding from the coast of Oka to Am rellie, he was seized on the 30th of July by Bawa Wallee, a Barwutti Katty, who has beer. long committing depredations from the hills of Gur and Babreawar. Captain Grant was taken near a village 'lamed Byawadee. lie had four horsemen, his monshee, and two sepoys with him. fie was immediately forced away, and is now a prisoner in the mountains between Amrellie and Korenar. The Katty threatens to kill him if he -is not restored to his grass, or rights, in Kittiwar. We do not apprehend that he will carry his threats into execution ; at the same time nothing can be more distress:ng than the situation of that respectable officer. We are persuaded that every effort will be made to effect his liberation.:— (Bombay Courier.) We are happy to state that Captain Grant has been released, by the exertions of Major Ballan tine, the political agent in Cutch. PALuNtriANG.--Accoulits from the eastward of the 2d of May, relative to the affairs of Palembang, mention that the sultan's defences are very exten sive, and that it does not appear at all certain that the second expedition of the Dutch will be more successful than the former. The sultan-is now engaged in repairing the ills done to his country during the residence dr the Dutch. A very un fortunate circumstance, it is said, occurred when the Dutch were driven out, whi c h h as no t b een stated in any former account. The fire rafts, in tended to act against their shipping, by some ac cident became entangled, and, getting aground near the. Arab Town, th.e. latter caught fire, and with the whole native towtrof Palembang, was soon reduced to ashes! The number of houses ,burnt is estimated at an immonse number.—(Penang Gazette.) il.txcA.—A very - gallant affair is reported to have taken place on the 2d of August last, off Coba, on the Island of 13ancii, in which twenty Malay pirate prows were_ defeated by the little brig Pallas, Captain Roberts; of 150 tons ; the prows, one of which bore a white flag with a black dagger and.skull, surrounded the brig, and kept up a constant fire upon her 2 which was re turned with such effect, fo'r upwards of two hours, as to induce them to pull in-shore.

'The Chamber of Peers at Paris is still occupied with the trial of the Conspirators of August 1820. The ATTORNEY GENERAL con cluded his case on Wed nesday, and on the fol- owing day two witnesses were examined hi sup- port of the prosecution, after which the House ad journed to the following day. In the Chamber of Deputies I%]. de BOUM ENNE brought up and read the Report of the Committee on the Budget respecting the expences of the year. The Re port respecting the receipts was brought up and read by the Count de Ia BOURDONNAYE. Both Reports approve , with a very few and trifling ex ceptions, of the R esolutions submitted by the Government to the Chambers. Several Deputies have given in their names to be heard for and against these Resolutions. On Tuesday Count de PlinoMIE presented to Louis X VIII. a letter from CHARLES FELIX King of Sardinia, announcing his accession, and letters accrediting the Count as Sardinian Minis ter at the Court of France. From Geneva it appears that the Prince of CISTERNA, SANTA RosA and other members of the Piedmontese Junta have been compelled to quit that Canton. The Prince is gone to Lau sanne, and hiS friends have taken other routes. the Florence Gazette of the 28th ult. announces that the nuptials of the Grand Duke and the Princess•MAßlA FERDINANDA of Saxony will be speedily celebrated. The Princen and her Fa- er are at Florence. The King of NAPLES is still at Rome. Seve ral Neapolitans who were attached to the late Constitution at Naples have received orders to quit Rome, among whom is the Duke of SALINAS, a native of. Palermo. An article from Frankfort states, that the Saxo❑ Government have just established a very _rigorous censorship over all works printed at Leipsic, and in the other towns of the kingdom. it is added, that this example will be followed by-all the other States forming the German Con federation. The same article also says, that the Dowager Empress of Itu , sLt will go in the sum mer to Spa, accompanied by the Grand Duke NICHOL 1S ; and that the King of ENGLAND will also visit that place at the same time, on which occasion the whole Court of the Netherlands will repair thither. We learn from Lisbon that the corvette Maria rlrc Gloria, dispatched by the King of'PowrooAL and BIZAZILS from Rio de Janeiro, has brought intelligence of his MAJESTY'S full and uncondi- tional acceptance of the new Constitution of Por tugal ; and that the news had produced the live liest sensation at Lisbon. The KING and Royal Family are expected to return' immediately to Europe. We are sorry to obserye that the different. ac* counts from Spain represent that country to be `infested by numerous bands of anti-revolutionary partizans, under the commands of Ecclesiastics. The defeat of the rebels at Salvatierra has been officially announced by the Minister of the Interior, but it does not that neigh bourk9c4 .The band. of ,the Curate MERI increases daily :.

It is conjectured that besides the Princes and Princess es of the Royal Family, some foreign Princes will accompany his Ma jesty. According to the latest accounts, .how ever, his Majesty will probably not arrive before the end of August. At the beginning of August' the 'army will go into camp about a league from this city, except one regiment, which wilt remaitt in garrison at Stade. We hear that ,during his Majesty's stay here, he will hold a Grand Chapter of the Order of the Guelphs. The apartments fitting here for his Majesty, and the furniture, will be in:every. respect like those in England.— Our army will be much augmented this .year by the second levy, according to the new organiza tion, made last year. The G uar d s i n garr i son here are to receive 300 recruits for each regiment in the beginning of May. " A LLENnuttu, APRIL - 2g. = —The most remark , able Resolution of our Slates was,that though they consist of 13 . Noble Members and only four from the Citizens, they have yet proposed to the Duke to.alter the old Constitution of the States, so as to be conformable to the present age, and to confide the deliberation on the welfare of the country in future to Representatives chosen by the people: As the Diet has been hitherto con stituted, only six-sevenths of the landed pro prietors were at all represented. The proposal could not be made without a sacrifice of _personal privileges. It has met with a favourable • recep tion from the Duke, as appears by a rescript issued by him on the 12th of March." Charleston Papers arrived this moraing to the 15th April. EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER rnom IfAvANNAE, DATED APRIL 7. " I wrote you by the Jane, under date of thf. Ist instant, in which I stated the circumstance of a recent disturbance at Mexico, hut by more re cent advises from that place, via Vera Cruz, it appears that the first reports which reached us were rather of an aggravated nature :—thero had, indeed, been some serious disturbances in that quarter, but the Viceroy was not deposed, as at first stated, and the insurgents were not likely to succeed in their design of overthrewing the Government. The Captain-General of Vera Cruz had marched to the relief of the Viceroy 6000 men, and there was not the least doubt that order would be restored. " The Consulado has presented a strong re monstrance against the new Tari:T, in conse quence of which it has been determined to post pone the operation of it for ❑inety days. " One hundred and twenty-nine vessels have entered the Port of Havanna!), in the month of February, of which ,48 were Spanish, 50 Ame rican, 10 English, 7 Danish, 4 French, 4 Dutch, 2 Sardinian, 1 Hamburg!), 1 Bremen, 1 Portu guese, and 1 Prussian. 44 The official return of the gold and silver has been published, coined in our Royal Mint at Mexico is 1820, which amounts to 10006,5 1 dollars." Having given in our Daily Extracts from the Morning Papers of this day all that they have said on the • subject of the Parliamentary Pro' ceeding respecting John Bull (The jllornii4 Herald and The British Press are silent). it is the less necessary for us to state our own opinions' But as we shall never disguise, or dissemble, ou r sentiments - upon any important points affecting the liberties of the People, we shall add a felv words.---It is evident that the dignity of the House of Commons, as that branch of the Con" stitutionwhich represents the People at large, should be properly supported, lest it should loge its due weight in the ..scale of our political ,system, and sink into camparative contempt• But an attack on a single Member is not to be considered as a libel upon the whole Rcq presentative Body, and the distinction should he made in aity-measures tending. to the punishment of the offender. Such a clitiuctiou will doubt. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE 9 , F COMMONS.
