negociations. The °aim. P'l'tp(ions'l ere for the forgery of Wills and .Marriage Cer -.:;ficates, and Registers. He had excepted these, ti.cause the House of Lords, in a Bill which ivtssed this House last Session, thought fit to re jo.ct the clauses which applied to them.. He next eLime- to the application of the Bill to the crime of . a:Jttering.; and here he was resolutely-determined .t.) make no concessions. The.nunker of :7-rirni ::::tsexecuted for this crime (a-5 appeared_ by the returns in the last seven years) was, upon an :average, 24 in each year. - The number. charged -ere seven hundred and fifty-four, and . the ;font of convictions three hundred and ninety 'hree, With revect to the punishment, he should i , ropose to take away transportation altogether, .Ind to substitute for it ten years' confinement .vith hard labour. He thought this punishment might easily be made sufficiently terrible by in ..:-.-easing the labour and confinement ; and even by Iforcing abstinence, Transportation had been 'proved to be inefficacious, and it must be relin ipished. Before sitting down he would just ob ;erve, that it was ,his intention to add a few ~•.-iorcls to the preamble of the Bill, which were of -si - i6 . mament, and to strike out the clause for giv re'.vards to informers. These would be all • amendments he should have to propose.— ?) • -• The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that the con . cessions which his Honourable and Learned Friend had been induced to make, considerably increased the objections which he had previously held to •the Bill before the house. Those con cessions formed an acknowledgment that the punishment of death was necessary to prevent crime in certain cases.—(No, no.)—lt appeared to him to be an admission-that such a punishment as necessary for the protection of a certain de .icription of property. He could not see upon That ground the exceptions rested, so as to pre ;.vent their striking at the very principle of the - sill. For instance, an exception was made for transfers of Bank Stock. Now, why were trans fers of South Sea and India Stock not to be placed upon the same footing ? Again, with re- Bard to the exception for Powers of Attorney for 'the sale of Stock. Why was not the exception to be extended to the same documents for the receipt of dividends? His Hon. and Learned Friend, instead of bringing in a Bill for the com mutation of capital punishment in cases of for gery as a principle, ought to have called the pre sent a measure for removing that punishment from certain cases in which he thought it was too severe.—(Hear !)—He had gone on admitting exception upon exception, until the principle with which he set out was entirely lost. He con tended that previous to the use of 11. notes, the punishment of death was, and it is now elfec- • ;Lai in preventing private forgeries; and his -Hon. and Learned Friend had adduced no fact • 771:ateVer to prove that it was not so. The -Honourable and Learned Gentleman then al • hided to the repeal of the Bleaching and Bank- .rript Laws, and argued that there was as much ground for asurning that it had caused an in ••c:rease of crime, as that the prosecutions were not •carried on before, on account of the severity of •the punishment. It was impossible but that the ''ever;tc of-the criminal laws lutist appear great in some cases, because it was imtpossible to place =them upon a graduated scale. In cases of bur glary, if a man broke into a house in the dead of night, and proceeded to offer violence to its in habitants, and to carry away their property, no .one could say or feel that he did not deserve the highest punishment which the law could inflict. Yet if a boy was passing-a house in the evening, -and was tempted to break a window and take out 'a watch, that crime would be the same in the eye :of the law ; but who could regard it with the -sdrne feelings ? Yet there could be no scale of punishment provided by the law ; but at the same time the • degree of punishment could be propor itioned to the crime by the administrators of the law. If the capital punishenent was provided for in such a case, it was well known that it would not be acted upon, and that knowledge would at least have the effect of restraining criminals in the degree of atrocity with which their crimes were accompanied ; and he did not apprehend 'tl►at it could for a moment be supported, that a intin would rather commit a burglary with the •d►ance of death ;annexed to the certainty of im prisonment, than if the latter punishment Were the greatest to be expeCted. He conceived that Bankers' checques ought to have the same pro- iretion as their promissory notes, and that was another objection to the manner in which the exceptions had 'been made. His Honourable in't Learned Friend had made use of one :argument founded upon a calculation so falla •ciors, that he was really surprised to hear it fall from one of his powerful understanding. 'He stated, that, because only fourteen each year, upon an average, were executed for for ,gerv, there would only be that number to place in confinement and hard labour. Now the fact was thlit if his Hon. and Learned Friend's Bill 'were carried into effect, all the persons connected - - Inust be consigned to that punishment ! And these.,•instead of amounting to fourteen annually, -- tvould .be not less than one hundred and eighty. When they even heard complaints of the Peni • tentiary, he knew not how they were in a con .dition to erect prisons and establishments afl Ayer the country to carry this plan into effect. •Upon the gcounds which he had enumerated, he -t.ho , ild oppose the Bill, and he therefore moved, as an amendment, that it be read a third time that •day six months. Mr. DENMAN said, that the acute and inge nious arguments of his Hon. and Learned Friend the Attorney-General, had failed to remove - the conviction which he firmly entertained of the benefits to be derived from the adoption of ,the 13111 before the House. He contended that it was unfair to say that the supporters of the Bill abandoned its principle, because they were compelled by necessity to make some con cessions, in order to serve the general measure. His Hon. and Learned Friend (the Attorney- General) had contended that the spirit of the Enzlish Laws was to affix the highest possible punishthent to crime. He must protest against *is doctrine as an imputation upon the Common Law of England which it did not deserve.— (Near,)—The two eases of burglary, which his' lion. Friend had snpposed were not 'in point of fact the same in the eye of the, law,- an their being classed under the same name, was one of these ,technical absurdities which remained the disgrace of our. Criminal Code, a,nd which had grown up upon the old law of 012 land without possessini; - any thing_of its spirit.—(Hear !) He also stated that the certainty of imprisonment was provided by the &sting law. This he(Mr. Denman) must. deny. If it did so, the Bill of his Hon. and Learned Friend would be unne cessary ; because it went to secure that certainty. At present it could not be certain, for the seve nty of .the capital punishment prevented many persons from prosecuting at all. The Bill was not founded upon, or supported by speculative theories or any wild notions, but upon the opi nions of practical men, • whose evidence had been given before the Committee. But with °tit that i . he• should have been contented with the address' which the House had heard on a former:night froin f a.n Hon. Friend of his, (Mr. F. BuXton) whose experience, and whose ad mirable talents so well qualified him to judge upon the expediency of such a measure. Never had he listened to a speech in that House or in any other place which contained more of benevo lence or of true practical wisdom ; never was the Spirit of Christianity displayed before any public assembly in the world, with so much of its pure and sublime character. It was not brought for ward to promote discord amongst parties—it was pot brought forward to serve political views—it eras not brought forward for the purpose of puf fing its own Pharisaical purity. His Hon. Friend proceeded upon the true ground of exhorting them to do justice, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with the common Father of Mankind.— (Cheers.)—lt was with the utmost satisfaction he took this opportunity of expressing his feelings upon the splendid Address which his Hon. Friend delivered to the House.—(Cheering.) Mr. DENT objected to some of the details of the Bill. Mr. WILLMO r T expressed his intention to sup port the Bill as it at present stood. If that anomaly in regard to the notes of the Bank% of England and of Country Banks had not been re moved, he should certainly have opposed it. Ile was aware that the present measure was not without its practical difficulties, but . he was con tent to adopt the principle, in the hope that these difficulties would not outweigh the pro posed advantages. Mr. MARRY ATT said, he feared the proposed measure was subversive of all legal rule, and of all principle. He could see no reason for pun ishing Bank forgeries with death, and leaving all other forgeries to comparative impunity. He understood the reason for severe punishment to be most strong in cases where the offence could be committed with facility and this reasoning, applied to the law against . forgery, fully justified the severity of the present punishment. He thought also that the numerous exceptions in the Bill went a considerable length towards destroy ing its effect. Mr. CRIPPS said, he approved of the principle of the Bill, and should vote for the third reading, but he should move to except forgeries of Ban kers' checks from its operation,' in consequence of the facility with which these forgeries were committed. Mr.MANSFIELD opposed the Bill, as he thought it perfectly uncalled for, and the moment chosen for its introduction very untimely. Mr. JOHN SMITH. believed that the severity of punishment was one great cause of the increase of crime, us severity of punishment discouraged prosecutors. Ile thought the forgeries upon the Bank of England would be considerably lessened, if that Establishment would increase the difficul ty of forging its notes. The Country Banknotes were executed in a much better manner, and the number of forgeries on Country Banks was, in consequence, materially lessened. He should cordially vote for the Bill. Mr.PEARSE defended the conduct of the Bank, but his observations were made in a very , low tone of voice. The Bank, he said, had always acted leniently towards those who forged upon its Establishment, except i'n cases of a second of fence. He feared the general principle of the Bill was highly dangerous. Mr. MILLs opposed the Bill. Mr. LOCKHART thought there was considerable inconsistency in the Bill. He could not admit the justice of the distinction which had been taken between forgeries upon the Bank of England and those upon private Bankers. The forgeries upon the latter had often been made a regular systematic trade. Mr. BARING said, all that was desired by the present Bill was, the enactment of that mitigated punishment in private cases, which the Bank, as it appeared from the statement of an Hon. Di rector (Mr. Pearse) were in the habit of visiting in cases against themselves. The forgeries com mitted in England exceeded in number, he believ ed,those of all other. countries. Neither in France, nor in Holland, (the latter a country purely com mercial) was the crime of forgery punished with death. The e two extraordinary circumstances satisfied him that there was something wrong in our present law, Imprisonment and hard labour would, he thought, be a more effective punish ment. He should vote for the Bill, though he did not approve of the exception by which it was clogged. Mr. HART DAVIS said, he should oppose the 13111, unless a distinction were made between Bills of Exchange and Bankers' Checks. The latter were more easily forged, and he therefore thought that to that offence the capital punish ment should still attach. Mr: T. WIL3ON said, he thought the present was the most unfortunate moment which could be selected for bringing forward the present Bill. The lion. and Learned Mover had called Bank Notes Government securities, but the same argu ment would apply to Exchequer Bills and East India Bonds. Mr. HARBOttn said, the exception Was intro duced as a matter of expediency, as there would otherwise be no chance of carrying the Bill. The Hon. Member at some length supported the prin ciple of the - Bill by __referring to the opinions of the late S r Sarnntl Aornilly and other Advocates for Of alteration of the Criminal Law. Mr. MARTIN (of Galway) spoke in favour of the' Bill, on the ground of policy. It had been argued that the forging of wills ought to be ex cepted from the Act.; but it. was worthy of re mark, that in Ireland the forging a bill tva l kot felony, and this crime was not more - frequent in Ireland than in England.—(Hear, bear, hear !) Strangers:were then ordered to withdraw, and the House divided, when there appeared— For the third reading of the Bill - 117 For the Attorney . ;.General's Amendment 111 Majority in favour of the Bill - -6 Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH tbennnoved some trifling ver bal Amendments, which were agreed to. CRIPPS moved an Amendment to except from the be nefit of the Bill all persons convicted of forgery upon Bankers. Mr. BARING said it would be much better to reject the • Bill altogether than adopt the Amendment of the Honourable Member. Dr. LUSHINGTON said it was only lately that a Banker of his acquaintance suffered a loss of 10,0001. rather than pro secute a forger to capital punishment. The adoption of the Amendment would render Bankers as liable to depredation as they were a t present. M CR IP PS explained: After a few words from Mr. MART;:i the House divided, when theic appeared— , For the Amendment - - 109 Against it - - - - - 102 Majority - - - - —7 • On our admission to the Gallery, we found Mr.Bnotio HAM on his legs. He said he should rejoice if the Bill met with ul timate success, and expressed a hope that it would be received in another part of the Legislature with becoming respect. On the question that this Bill do pass, the Gallery was again cleared for a division, , After a lonseliscusnO, in the absence of strangers, tho House divided. The numbers were— For passing the Bill - 115 Noes - - - - - 121 It was consequently lost by a Majority of 6. Mr. CHET WYN D rose, on the order for going into a.Com mittee on the Dwelling House Robbery Bill, and having op posed the measure, moved that it be committed this day six months. Mr. COURTENAY supported the Bill. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL objected to it, but did not oppose going into the Committee. The amendment was then negatived without a division, and the House went into a Committee on the Bill. Several verbal, amendments having been agreed to, the House resumed, and the Report was ordered to be received on Wednesday. On the order for going into a Committee on the Navigable Rivers Robbery Bill, a Member moved that instruction be given to the Committee to extend the provisions of the Bill to robbe ries on Canals. The motion was agreed to. The House then went into a Committee, and after a clause had been annexed to punish robberies on Canals, the Report was ordered to be received on Wednesday. Mr. HUME rose on the Order of the Day for receiving the Report of Ways and Means, and objected to bringing up the said Report, on account of the lateness of the hour. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER consented to postpone the consideration of the Report. The Jrish Coroner's Bill, with the consent of Mr. MARTIN, was postponed for six months. The other Orders were disposed of, and the House adjourned at ONE O'CLOCK. FOR THE SUN. ON THE PAST AND PRESENT CIRCUMSTANCES OF THIS COUNTRY, WITH A VIEW TO THE RELIEF OF AGRICULTURE, MANUFACTURES, AND COMMERCE. • (Continued from our Paper of Yesterday.) Let us contemplate a familiar illustration. The million of people inhabiting the metropolis, all consuming, not producing, food, have never been in our times without supplies, even in seasons of the greatest scarcity. Food is always cheaper and better in London than in the surrounding country. The supplies are always constant and generally absktidant. These circumstances are not owing tis; slfe'forceof law or regulation. All possible force of law could not alone produce such constancy, abundance, and comparative cheapness. Simply the certainty of demand, and a sufficiency of ready money to make payments, accomplish these truly important consequences. Not only no over-issue of Bank Notes being established to have really existed, but the appli cations at the Discount Office at the Bank, for Bank Notes In lieu of Bills discounted, and the constant employment of Money or Bill Brokers in the City, during the War especially, proved that the supply of Notes was constantly short of the demand, notwithstanding all the payments made for Government in Bank Notes. As no Bank Notes in addition to such payments are is sped without a demand ; as the land, the trade, and personal industry of the subjects are pledged for the public debt, and Bank Notes are chiefly issued in their security ; how can Bank Notes be fairly compared to the Paper Money of such States as have first contracted debts, and then forced the people, from time to time, to receive Paper Money ; which never being paid, or ex changed by such Slates, but accumulating in cir culation, has been depreciated in proportion as its quantity has increased beyond the amount re quired for exchanging the produce of their land and industry. The perfection and stability of the operations of the Bank of England, and the skill and honour able views of the directors of that important establishment, constitute an improvement in the circumstances of this country, compared with ancient times. And those hypotheses, which were formed with reference to a circulation of the precious metals, before the improse ments introduced by the operations of banking had been well observed, or had even arrived at any considerable importance, might now possibly be abandoned, even by their authors, if living:— Mr. Huss - E, for example, said," It is the propor " Lion between the circulating money, and the 66 commodities of the market, which determine C 6 prices ; increase the commodities, they become " cheaper ; increase the money, they rise in " their value. On the other hand, a diminution " of the former, and that of the latter have con " trary tendencies."—This maxim, contained in a celebrated essay on money which was published in 1752, according to the practical operations of production, taxation and circulation now existing, or within the last thirty years, this maxim, as we humbly conceive, has lost its foundations, and by no means should form the ground of present opi nions. Even if it were a truism s before we de termine the amount of commodities in the market, and the amount of circulating money to consti tute a sufficient cause for the rise or fall - of prices, we' certainly in our times should first add to the natural prices of the commodities, the whole amount of tares now combined in the price by their direct and indirect accumulating effects, to render the maxim accurate. And it does not ap pear that taxes have been thus taken into consi deration in such estimates. The rise of prices has in an unqualified =Liner been attributed chiefly to the increase of the quantity of money. But if this cause were sufficient for the effect, how shall we account for the rise of three hundred per cent. in ,wheal and bread during the war, and for the fall, at the same time, of many sorts of goods ; cotton goods, hosiery, Scc. - the depreciatioh of money upon all,tthe assumed grounds taken' together has been' estimated at only thirty per cent. and no appre ciation with reference to any commodities has even been thought of? Dr. ADAM SMITH said " the " proportion which the circulating money of any " country bears to the whole value of the annual " produce circulated by means of it, it is perhaps " impossible to determine. It has been comput " ed by different authors at a fifth, at a tenth, at " a twentieth, and at a thirtieth part of that " value." This profound and justly admired writer would not risk his reputation upon this particular position. ' In truth he confuted the maxim. After alluding to Bank of England notes he observed, cc the increase _of_ paper " money, it has been said, by augmenting the " quantity, and consequently diminishing the " value of the whole currency, necessarily " augments the money price of commodities. " But as the quantity of gold - and silver C 4 which is taken from the currency is al " ways equal to the quantity of paper which is " added to it, paper money does not necessarily " increase the quantity of the whole currency. " From the beginning of the last century to the " present time, provisions never were cheaper in " Scotland than in 1759, though from the circula " tion of ten and five shilling bank notes there was " then" (in 1759) " more paper money in the " country than at present. The proportion be " tween the price of provisions in Scotland and " that in England is the same now as before the " great multiplication of banking companies in " Scotland. Corn is upon most occasions fully " as cheap in England as in France, though there " is a great deal of paper money in England, " and scarce any. in France. In 1751 and 1752, " when Mr. flumE published his political dis " courses, and soon after the great multiplication " of paper money in Scotland, there was a very " sensible rise in the price of provisions, owing, " probably, to the badness of the seasons, and " not to the multiplication of paper money." Dr. ADAM SMITH is universally deemed a greater authority in political economy than Mr. flumE. Besides, it may be added that in Eng, land,after the establishment of the Bank of Eng land in 1694, the market prices of corn and all provisions declined progressively, excepting in bad seasons, down to the year 1760, notwith standing, as we may well believe, the increase not only of gold and silver money, but of the circulation also of bank hotes. In France, in these times, corn and all provisions are conside rably cheaper than in England, although in France the money in circulation has been esti mated at more than one hundred millions sterling, and the estimate of circulating paper in England has been fifty millions. But the annual produce of the land, manufactures, trade, and industry of France has been estimated at only about 298,000,0001. sterling ; of England as exceeding 430,000,0001. sterling ; according to Mr. CHAP TAL and Dr. COLQUIIOUN. If the proportion be tween the circulating money and the commodi ties in the market determine prices, there would exist in France excessive dearness, where the cir culating money amounts to one third of the amount of commodities ; and in England com parative cheapness, where the circulating money amounts only to one eighth of the amount of com modities ; nor will the banking system of Eng land and the economy practised in making pay ments be sufficient to invalidate this argument. The secret cause of the cheapness experienced in France and the dearness of England we attri bute partly to the comparative amount, and part ly to the different systems of taxation. In Eng land the taxes are not only much greater but 5-6ths of the amount are charged on commodities and augment prices ; but in France nearly 5-6ths of the taxes are direct taxes, not at all entering into the prices of commodities. In this nation all industry is perfectly free. Government does not possess any trading mono polies. The increase of the quantity of money, therefore, continually , encourages Competition among the producers to sell in the market the greatest quantity of commodities ; and this com petition continually tends to abundance, as well as to cheapness. If the increase of money can possibly for a time raise prices, such higher prices stimulate production, and still further tend to produce abundance and cheapness. [To be coritinuedi FATAL DUEL.—" We present our Readers with.a copy of a very important document, which cannot fail in a great degree to exculpate the un fortunate author of Mr. CLTDDIE's death from the charge of" Wilful Murder." It is an authentic copy of a declaration made by Mr. GUDPIF, his death-bed, in the. presence of PHILIP GELL, Esq. of Hopton, and Mr. JOHN FLINT : • Copy of the Declaration made by Mr. C UDD I t on his death-bed. The Declaration of William Cuddie, of Winster, Surgeon, made before me, Philip Gell, Esquire, one of his Mai?sty's Justices of the Peace, -for the County of Derby, this 221 day of May, 1821, who saith, that he was called upon by William Brittlebank, of Winster, to fight a duel, and that he wished to avoid doing 90. - That Edmund Spencer, of Bakewell, Surgeon came to him on Tuesday, 22d May. instant, and told him than William Brittlebank, and his brothers, were in the garden waiting for him, and that he, William Cuddie, must make an apology or fight. That he, William.Cuddie, went to the gar den and refused to make an apology. That Edmund Spencer opened his coat and chewed him two pistols, one of which he took, and William Brittlebank took the other. That they se parated to the distance of fifteen yards or more. That Edmund Spencer threw up his hat as a signal, and they both fired their pistols as near together as possible. Taken before me this 22d day of May, 1821,—P. ,GELL.

SOLEIII QUIS DICERE FALSUIII .411DEIT7 LONDON, TUESDAY, JUNE 5, 1821. We received this morning the Paris Papers, of Friday and Saturday last. The most recent news from Constantinople announae that the dreadful massacres have at length been put an end to; that the Porte has prohibited the Turks, with the exception of the soldiery, to go about with arms, and that the Christians or ragas have been ordered to open again their shops. The in surrection of the Greeks in the Morea, in Thes saly; and the Archipelago, is making rapid pro gress. • The Hydriots and Ispariots are reported to have equipped a fleet of 300 sail, and to take possession of all the Turkish vessels which they meet. , A frigate and three brigs of war have al ready fallen into their power. This intelligence is of the first importance to the cause of the Greeks, as the Porte possesses no effectual means of subduing the maritime insurrection ; for, though the Ottoman fleet is very considerable, vet it cannot be fitted out and manned but by Greek mariners, on whose fidelity no reliance can be placed in a contest against their own countrymen. The accounts from Moldavia are also highly favourable to the cause of Greek hide.. pendence. . The army there is divided into three corps, with which YPSILANTI means to penetrate into Silistria, in order to pass the Danube, and make himself master of the coasts of the Black Sea. THEODOIit SLUDZIER proposes also to pass the Danube, lay siege to Nicopolis,, .and then proceed to Sophia, to co-operate With the Bal.' garians and Servians. The report of Am Pacifh!- having rejected all the overtures of the Porte is confirmed by a letter from Constantinople, and it is also stated that the Foreign Ministers here, not considering themselves in safety in that capi tal,' have removed to Buyukdere, a village (- 11 the Bosphorus. The Porte, on the other hand, is making great exertions to bring a considerable army froth Asia, exclusive of the present forces which have already been sent forward against tile Greeks. One army is' to take a position on the Danube, a second is to march into Macedonia and the Morea, and a third is to cross ove r Mount llo2mus, and advance into Bulgaria' The Janissaries at Adrianople, acid in its envies rons, are to form the advanced guard. We learn from Rome that the Ministers 0f France, Russia, Prussia, and Sardinia accornpa nied his Sicilian Majesty on his return t ° Naples, and that the Austrian Minister set ou t ' for . the Neapolitan capital a few days before." - A letter from Naples mentions the arrest °f Signors C TAL A NI, Ito iSI, A.

All, these individuals were arnl fig the most distinguished supporters of the late Constitutional System in Naptes. From Madrid it appears, that a camp of lqi C t he men is forming there, under the command celebrated General MoniLLo, and that the el ler' getic measures adopted by him have bad effect of restoring that capital to. perfect t ray' quillity, and, it is to be hoped, will prevent the recurrence of those popular excesses wl.,ir,--:rh*bale to recently prevailed there.
