to the injustice of the American, and not. of out own Govern ment. To use the words of the Act of 1783, the Loyalists had received such relief as their services entitled them to, • and the country could best afford. Mr. W. SMITH supported the claims of the loyalists, and thought, upon every principle of national honour and good faith, that they ought to be granted. , There were £130,000 per annum granted m compensations to persons connected with the Ordnance, Victualling, and Navy Offices , and surely the country could afford a single £lOO,OOO to -s, -- eons who had risked their lives and wasted their blood arid property hi the• service of the country. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER explained. Mr. COURTENAY replied. The question was loudly called for, and the House divided— For the motion - - - - 77 • Against it - - - - - 60 Majority for the Bill - —l7 When we entered the Gallery, we found Mr. HUSKISSON on his legs, objecting on some point of form to a motion which had been made by Mr. Courtenay, for going into a Committee to prepare an Address to the King. Mr. HUME said, that as the House had agreed to the prin ciple of the Grant, the House might proceed to carry its wishes into effect, as in all other cases. Mr. WY NN said, that after the Address had been agreed to, the House might pass a - separate Bill of Appropriation, as they did in the case of Mr. Palmer's grant. Mr. W. SIIIITH supported the motion. Mr. CREEVEY proposed an adjournment, on the ground of the lateness of the hour. After a short conversation between Mr. Vansittart, Mr. Courtenay, Mr. Bankes, Mr. Baring, Mr. P. Moore, and Mr. Creevev, Mr. Courtenay consented, on account of the lateness of the hour, to withdraw his motion. • HORSE TAX.. Mr. CURWEN postponed his motion on the Agricultural Horse Tax to to-morrow (this day.) YORKSHIRE POLLS BILL. Lord MILTON having moved. the order of the day for the second feading of the above Bill., • Mr. DEN lAN expressed his wish that his Noble Friend would postpone the second reading of the. Bill to a period when it could receive more ample discussion than it possibly could at that late hour of the night. Mr. C. WYNN suggeated that it would. be desirable for the Noble Lord not to attempt to pass this measure during the pre sent Session. If the Noble Lord would consent to postpone the third reading of the Bill, he (Mr. Wynn) would not object to its going into a Committee. Mr. BROUGHAM, after speaking in favour of the principle of the Bill, expressed his hope that his Noble Friend would ac cede to the proposition of the Hon. andbearned Gentleman. Lord M ILTON then expressed his intention not to carry the measure into effect till next Session.—The Bill was read a se cond time, and ordered to be committed on Friday.—The House then Adjourned at Two o'ClOck.

LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 7, 1821. In our Daily Extracts from the Morning Pa- Pers our Readers will see an article taken from The. herald of this day, reporting a partial re signation of Cabinet Ministers, viz. Lord llAn itowey, Viscount MELVILLE, and Viscount SID- Itouni. - We have made inquiries in a quarter 11 :hence we are likely to derive authentic; infor. %%tion, and we have no reason to believe that the report has any solid or probable foundation. The Paris Papers of Sunday and `Monday reached-us this morning. It appears by anar- Cele from Leipsic that the whole of the Christian Provinces in Turkey have united in one common cause against the Ottoman Power: A corps be longing to YPSILANTeg army is said to have crossed the Danube at Sistver, and to have'been Joined by 10,000 Bulgarians and Servians., The accession of Bulgaria and. Servia .to the cause Of • Oreece, has had the. effect of cOMpell- ing the Pacha of -Bosnia to :abandon his de.. sign of marching thiough Servia against the Greeks, and to fall back on the Danube. it. is added that -he. has received orders to proceed to Albania- to - aceagainst a 1 r.i PActiA, - whose forces are become very formidable. The 30,000 men under the Pacha of the- Aiorea, who had' been sent against ALI ..:PAcw : t, have been entirely destoyed by the . S4lipts, who have 'embraced the catise *of their ancient Chieftain. In the Morea the Greeks have succeeded in obtaining po s ssession of several important towns and fortified places ; and from one end of the Peloponnesus to the other, the whole of the inhabitants are in arms against •their oppressors. The Greek naval force in the Ar chipelago and on the coasts of the Peleponnesus is daily increasing, and measures are concerting so as to enable them to act o❑ a matured and uniform plan, and not in their present desultory matmer. From Warsaw we learn that the Russian and Polish troops, who marched for Moldavia, were destined to form a cordon, in order to prevent the Tu;kish forces, while pursuing the rebellious Greeks, from violating the Russian territory.— The Emperor of ItussrA, it is added, is guarantee for the immunities which belong to the principa lities of Walachia and Moldavia ; and if the Sublime PORTE, after quelling the troubles by whicli it is agitated, should wish to organise a new GovernMent, she must necessarily come to an understanding with Russia. It appears that a proposition has been made by the Spanish Cortes to send the two Infants Don CARLOS and Don FRANCISCO DE PAULO to South America, one to Mexico, and the other to a more southern station, there to establish two Monarchies, secured in their liberties by a na tional representation, and attached to the Mother Country by political princii)les as well as by commercial treaties. The Government seems disposed to favour this project. The conduct of MINA has given such dissatisfaction to the KING and his Ministers, that it is expected he will soon be removed from the office of Captain Ge neral of Gallicia. The Tribunal of Burgos has passed sentence of death on nine public offen ders; and consigned several others to less ri- gorous punishments. A monk of Badajos was condemned to six years imprisonment in irons at Ceuta, for preaching against the Constitution. The Neapolitan Gen. ROSSAROL has arrived at Barcelona with his family ; and General PEPE has received from the Spanish Government a pension of 40,000 rials, about 4201. sterling per annum. All the Neapoli tan refugees in Spain have also obtained half-pay. The Curate SALAZAR was to be tried at Pam peluna towards the end of last month ; and the Curate of Zaldundo, as well as the third A lcalde 'of Salvatierra, had received sentence of death for being concerned in the late insurrection in that quarter. The discussion on. the proposed' Law tif- Finance had occupied several—of the last Sittings of the Cortes. In spite of the opposition of Ministers it was carried by a large 'majority ; the first article enacts, that tithes and first-fruits shall be reduced to one-half of their actua amount..

We received Spanish Papers this day to -thel 24th ult., and we subjoin the contents:— " CORUNNA, MAY.l5.—The . Political Chief has published an explanation of his conduct dur ing the late events, which have filled with con sternation all those who retain any ideas of order and justice. He says in substance, that being informed that the faction which had declared a civil war in.the provinces of Burgos and Alava, had ramifications in all the provinces of the Mo narchy, and that in this province attempts were making to arm people against the system, he ordered the persons whose - names we have before mentioned to be arrested and sent. to this city, till their papers having been examined, they should be delivered to their respective Judges. " The sudden ebullition of popular zeal com pelled the authorities to the deposition of cer tain persons, against whom public -opinion was .the most loud. The others will be delivered to the competent Judges as • soon as possible, except such as are not implicated in the suspicion of conspiracy by any proof • in his hands, and he mentions 6 persons, .all of great respectability, who have been already set at liberty. The peo ple may be easy, he adds, as the plan of the, factious is wholly disconcerted ) and the authori ties on the alert. • • 44 CADIZ, MAY 14.—The 168,000 reals re maining in the hands of the Committee, of the subscription of the 10th March, have been di vided with the approbation of the Municipality among 60 families belonging to persons killed; and 202 families of persons wounded on that day. 46 MADRID, MAY 23.—The Decree of • the Cortes against sending money to Rome, is officially promulgated. The first Article says, The pay ment of money, or any thing equivalent, to Rome for the Bulls of :Archbishopricks, Bishopricks ; Matrimonial Dispensations, and all other rescripts, indulgences, and Apostolic favours whatever, shall entirely cease.' The second article gives to his Holiness the sum of 9000 hard piastres per annum, as a voluntary gift, over and above the sums stipulated in preceding Concordats—the Cortes reserving to themselves to increase this sum if .the nation shall in future be able to do so. By the 'third article, the Government is to • take the necessary steps to prevent this change in the mode of obtaining matrimonial dispensations from causing any delay to the prejudice of . the - pastdis iiit,erested; 'This law is. to. be prestwied to His Holiniis in the most respectful manner, sb as to cement harmony and good understanding between the two powers, which the Cortes desire to maintain, to whom the Governor will give au account of the result." Jamaica Papers - arrived this morning to the 24th April. The following are Extracts : " KINGSTON (JAMAICA), APRIL 23.—Accounts heve been received from Panama, that the An frigate was daily looked for from Cal lao with the deposed Viceroy PEzuELA, and that SAN MARTIN was advancing rapidly, with a daily increasing army, towards the capital. 44 Previously to the sailing of the Albion from Cuba, an American schooner, called the Frank lin, arrived at that port from New York. The Captain states, that on the 13th inst., off Cape Maize, he fell in with Commodore Amy's squadron, consisting of five sail of vessels, one of which fired two shots into the Franklin, and brought her to. The Captain was ordeied on board, when he was put into irons, and the boat sent back for the passengers' luggage and let ters. Commodore AUKY ordered every thing to be examined, and broke open. all the letters: after detaining them three hours they were again sent back to the Franklin. Two Spanish, schooFiers, their prizes, were- in company ; one of them had 300 slaves on boards- Commodore Atrity was anxious to dispose of the slaves to the Captain of the Franklin."—(Rosal .Gazette of April 21,.) Letters from Buenos Ayres of the Ist February mention, that shortly after the arrival of Mr. FORBES at that place, Judge PnEvosT was or dered to quit Buenos Ayres in twenty-four hours : be took refuge on board an American brig, until an opportunity offered to convey him to Chili. The cause assigned for this conduct on the part of the Government is, his expression of illiberal sentiments respecting this young and struggling people. [ Extract of a Letter from Callao, Nov. 22.] " The Macedonian has received on board the wounded of her boats' crew, six in number, two having been killed ; one of the wounded is not expected to live. Several Americans, who have been imprisoned on shore, have been sent off. Wo are now allowed to receive our cargo within about half a mile of the shore, and to receive it from their boats into ours ; but no English or Americans are allowed to land." We understand that Mr. SCARLETTYS Bill on the Poor Laws has excited much attention throughout the Country, and is deemed likely, if confirmed by. Act of Parliament, to be pro ductive of consequences very different from what the Learned Counsel, with the most laudable views, of course, must have expected. It is pro bable that the active duties of his profession have too much occupied the mind of the able and eloquent Advocate, to allow him duly to examine and reflect on a subject of such mag nitude, importance, and complexity. If he had no other matters to engage his wind than his po litical duties as a Member or Parliament, there ran be no doubt that his talents and general know- ledge would enable him to frame-a plan suitable to the subject, and calculated to be highly benefi cial to the country, but for the reason which we have mentioned it can hardly be supposed that, amidst his constant business as a Barrister, the Learned Gentleman should have leisure sufficient to contemplate the subject, and devise a measure of comprehensive legislative utility. THE KING'S CORONATION.-The day reported now to be appointed for the Coronation of his MAJESTY is the 19th June. This morning orders were issued by the Dean and Chapter of -West minster, to engage more workmen, so as to be able to complete the interior of the Abbey by the 30th instant. The preparations are ,00ing on with the most surprising rapidity. — '!'he - .Heraldic insignia is being prepared by some of the, first Artists in the country. The Coronets to be worn ,by the Peers are nearly all com pleted. The Barons and Viscounts are mostly made of metal gilt; the Earls and Marquesses, of silver. gilt ; and the Dukes of pure gold— their appearance is splendid beyond description. —lt may be proper to add, that there is only one platform erected in the Chancel of the 'Ab bey, on which the lingo will he enthroned. At the last Coronation there were two, one four, and the other two feet high, on which GEORGE the 'Third and his Royal Consort were crowned. CHT.JRCHER'SCOLLEGi.-The proceedings on the . information against the Trustees of this College: will now, we u4Orstand, be proceeded in with t every possible diSpatch; the further answer of the acting or managing Trustee having been re cently put in, in consequenco of the exceptions taken to his former answer. We do not believe' .there is adq truth in the report that an attempt. has been made 'to appoint NEW Trustees pending this suit. • The 6rcumstances of this case, and the peculiar situation of some of the Trustees, must render it a matter of great delicacy and risque to venture on a speculation of that nature. Nei ther do we attribute much importance to the visit to the College on Monday last, as we are satis fied- that not any change of system will be at tempted to be adopted, but under the express di rection of the Court of Chancery.—(Pctersjic/d, 6th Junc,,1821.) The house of Commons will adjourn from to morrow till Wednesday next, for the Whitsun tide recess. Yesterday the Marquis of LONDONDERRY had a long audience with the KING. The Letters from France concur in stating, that incalculable damage has been done to the vineyards by the sharp frosts and hail-storms at the close of last month, particularly in the nights of the 28th and 29th. Several vineyards which promised an abundant vintage are laid waste, and wines. arc now on the advance, CONSTITVTIONAL ASSOCIATION. The following article has been issued by this Society, in answer to a letter signed Edward King, which appeared in The Morning Chro nicle and Times of yesterday : CONSTITUTIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR OPPOSING VIE PROGRESS OF DISLOYAL AND SEDITIOUS PRINCIPLES. " At a Meeting of the Committee, held at the Office, in Bridge-street, June 6th, 1821, the Committee having seen, amongst other unfounded and erroneous statements lately laid before the public, a letter signed Edward King,' inserted in the Times' and 'Morning Chronicle' news papers of this day, relating to the purchase of the several parts of a publication on the 16th of May, but the first part of which had been pub licly exposed for sale at his shop, and bought of him on the preceding day • _ __ • " Resolved,—That the following Copy of an Affidavit made by HonATm ORTON, a Clerk of the Association, upon• the subject of Edward King's statement, be advertised in the papers.

And this Deponent saith; that the said work being considered to be of a most improper character, lie was on that evening directed to purchase a complete set of the same. That, in conformity with such direction, Deponent went the next morning to IVT. :King's shop, and was informed 'by him that he had not any wore copies. That this Deponent then inquired.who was the Publisher, that he mightyrocure them from him ; but that the said Edward King, unsolicited by this Deponent, pressingly of fered to obtain for him a complete set in one hour : and Depo nent further saith, that' he went at the appointed time, when Mr. King apologized for not having them ready, stating that his boy would return immediately with them, and requesting this Deponent to wait his return : that Deponent, however, agreed to call in the evening,,when he accordingly found them ready, and received them from the said Edward King.

FOREIGN TRADE'.----The- Appendix to th e Lords' Report, relative to the trade with the East Indies and China; . contains a letter on the subject of Sincapore, addressed to the Marquess of LANSDOWN, the Chairman of the Committee,. It is dated Beucoolen, April 15, 1820, and is at tributed to Sir STAMFORD RAFFLES: the follow ing is an Extract from • " The rapid rise of Viis important station, Sincapore, during the year that it has been in our possession, is • perhaps without its parallel. When I hoisted the British flag the population scarcely amounted to 200 souls ; in three months, the number was not lest; than 3,000, and it now exceeds 10,000, principally Chinese. No less than 173 sail of vessels of different descrip tions, principally native, arrived and sailed in the course of the first two months; and - it already has beeome a commercial port of importance. I consider myself extremely fortunate in the situ ation, and in not having had to complain of any one of the almost invariable difficulties attending the establishment of new set dements : the establishment .has more than equalled my an ticipations and its effects have been more marked and Sud den, than I r. cull have contemplated, though not more so than I wished. I our object in the Eastern Seas and in China is commerce, a d comm?; ce alone, lam not aware of any plan so easy of adoption, and so unobjectionable,, as that of making our station FREE PORTF., In a political point of view, it will have the effect of preventing and deterring other European nations from sealing on the neighbouring coasts ; for oar Con tinental possessions will enable us to do that, with Out, con sidering it as a loss, which no other nation could do, except lat a dead 1 - ss, is consequence of the greater distance of their power ; this is particularly applicable to the French, Bus si-ins, and Americans. We can not only afford to maintain our Eastern stations without levying duties at them, but by doing so, we improve the general trade and consequent prosperity of OUR CONTINENTAL possessions • .No other na tion could afford - to maintain such stations without levying' duties. In a few_years„ if the system. ,which I have com menced is followed up, the whole of the Eastern Archipelago will be clothed from Great Britain, and I see no reason why Ava, Siam, Cochin China, and even a large portion of China, •may not , follow the example."
