An EngliShman naturally asks himself, are the Mem bers gentlemen, and he decides directly in his own mind that they arenat. By the events of the revolution, men without either manners or educa tion.became rich, and as paying 401. per annum in taxes qualifies a man, it is not surprising to find many persons in the House, whose proper place is out of it. Had France a Minister like Mr. PITT, she could do what she pleased with this unruly mob; she would occupy them with some trifle, some bone of contention ; and while they, were quarrelling about it; she would carry all her mea sures of the first importance, almost without their perceiving it. Something of this talent was ob servable in the system of the Duke Du C.A,iEs, who led more than once the Chambers to fight with shadows, while he quietly occupied himself in the substance, and it was only when he had effected his measures, that they perceived the march he , had stolen upon them. Being on the subject of the Duke Dc CAZES, we have great pleasure in learning that the accusations against him are founded, on forged documents, fabricated at Paris by a man who was dismissed from the Counsels of the KING, at the request of the Duke. To resume our subject; a discussion almost endless has taken place on the question, whether a deputy called to order shall be forced to hold his tongue for the rest of the day ?—All parties join in repelling this idea, which places a member as it were on the stool of repentance for all his school-fellows to laugh at; and as the majority of them not unfrequently run the riskof being placed there, they cannot bear the idea of it. It is ,proper, however, that a period should be put to the torrents •of abuse reciprocally vomited on each other by the rival parties.— Nothing-is sacred. The Ministers, we think, are much too gentle; they ought to propose' a re gulation similar to that in the English House, and if a member. conducts himself disgracefully, send him to a prison- during pleasure. The spirit of freedom at .Naples is . like 71 gun charged with powder only, a spark makes it explode, a few are frightened, but none hurt. All is oirer . in Piedmont. Spain haS taken the alarm, and the Constitutionalists, in the true spirit of freedom, as the French possessed it in 1793, make alaw for personal liberty, and execute it in arresting all who do not think like themselves. Long live liberty, the.gaols and the guillotine, for they are connected as closely as the members of a syl logism. SKIP NEWS. DEAL, APRIL 23.—Wind E. N.

THE AnTs.—We were the first to notice the intention of a public exhibition of the works of living Engravers in this country, and we have the pleasure of stating that it opened yesterday, and manifested such a display of talents in this pro vince of the Arts, that in point of beauty, force, and variety, it is in the highest degree honourable to British genius, taste, and skill. Some of the best works of our own living Painters, and some of the rare compositions of the great foreign Artists of former times, have given scope to Eng lish Engravers, and they exhibit such specimens of spirit and fidelity as may of course be equalled but never can be excelled, and such as demand the warmest encouragement of a liberal and en lightened people.

WEDDERBtJRNE COLONEL PALMER'S STATEMENT. TO TIIE EDITOR-OF TIFF, SUN. AtnANy, APRIL 23, 1821 MR. EDtTOR---I sincerely rejoice at the termination of fhe affair betwixt Lord Petersham an& Mr. Weddcrburne, as stat ed in" The ObServer" of yesterday, by the joint authority of the parties ; and had Mr. W. Ix sucu sTAi•EMENT, or in any other PUBLIC manner, thought fit to make the same declara tion as to Lord Petersham's honour and character, which I un derstand he made upon the ground previous to the final ad justment of the affair betwixt the Seconds, I should have waiv ed the consideration of my own feelings; and have abstained from any farther notice of the transaction. But that not, being the case, however highly I must approv“and it is necessary I should state it) the conduct of my LOrd Foley, and consider it in every way satisfactory to the honour and character of his principal, I confess, I am not quite satisfied with the correspondence published in `‘ The Observer," looking to the impression which it may possibly leave with others. Perhaps may be mistaken in - this opinion, at least as it regards the parties, and shall be most happy to find it so ; but as it relates to, me, I must . judge for myself, and *hen I look to the remarks of Mr. W. W., contained in NO. VI. of the Correspondence, I hope I may be permitted to feel. at least as much indignation upOn the occasion as avowed by Mr. W. W., and it is only by the expression of thcAe feelings that I can possibly get rid of them. Mr. W. has hitherto had - •Lu. an advantage over me, arising out of the 'delicaCiof my situa tion with respect to the other parties concerned; but air - consi , •T derations of that kind being removed, and as it is :tow:only-a qUestion betwixt Mr. W. and MYSELF', 1 appeal, withconfl dence, to the liberality of the Public, in allowing me to trouble them with such observations, in answer to the whole of Mr. W.'s Statements, which, in justice to my own condUct, I con sider, necessary to offer. ' • In the first place, then, Mr. W. his given the public to un- derstand,' that I was his CONFIDENTIAL ,FRIEND AND 'AD-, VISER previous to the affair in question; at least it may be so inferred, from the following passage of his statement in your Paper of the 19th inst.:—" I lied called on Colonel Palmer some days before the receipt of Lord Foley's letters, and had some GENERAL AND CONFIDENTIAL.coNvEusA'Tiox WITH HIM ON MY AFFAIRS." Now, in answer to this, 1 must dis claim having had the slightest previous intimacy with Me. IV, We had formerly been in the same regiment; but from the dif ference of ago and rank I had known very littleof him, nor he.d I ever seen him SINCE, until last year, when in consequence of a reference which was made toe= upon. a. particular subject re lating to his family, I unfortunately fell in with him. Mr. W. in consequence, certainly endeavoured to cultivate my acquaint ance, by different calls at my chambers,. and sending me notes enclosing covers for franks; and I can only say that I avoided it as well as I could with decency; by neither returning his calls, nor answeringhis notes, although 1 franked his covers as Ido for the Porter, or any one else that sends them. Such then was the pre4se nature of our intimacy at the period of the visit above mentioned, and see sensible was Mr. W. himself of the necessity of an apology for the intrusion, that he pleaded his excuse in a manner so conciliatory to my feelings, that I listened with attention and concern to that which he thought proper to communicate. However; Sir, this GENERAL AND CONFIDENTIAL CONVERSATION- UPON, HIS AFFAIRS re lated SOLELY to the SAME SURJECT out of which the LATE AFFAIR ORIGINATED'; and after hearing all he h a d t o sa y upon it, I distin c tly t o ld hi m , in expressing my regret upon the occasion, that I could give him no advice whatever, And that if he could not determine from his own feelings the conduct he ought to pursue, he should consult thoe who, from th e ti es o f re lationship or intimacy, could advise him with much More. propriety than myself. Thus ended our FIRST interview, and. before I come to the NEXT, I must in justice t o M r . W. ac count for it, by stating th a t I had received an intermediate visit froth a party I need not name, fo r w h om ALONE I was i nduced to meddle with the business, and for whom alone AT THAT MOMENT, I felt any real interest upon the subject.. The next visit then from Mr. W. was, as he states, " that upon which he requested ME to call upon Lord Foley in the capacity`of HIS FRIEND;" and here, Sir, 1 would ask, wh e th er t hi s a d m i ss i on on the part of Mr. W. does not at once prove my statement ; and what is to be thought of his conduct, after admitting not only sirs OWN INSERTION OF THE PARAGRAPH, but " that he had expressed himself much more UNEQUIVOCALLY on the subject to his friends," that in the face of this declaration he should not have avowed in his answer to Lord Foley's first note, that which his Lordship in the plainest language had demanded, but shifts and evades- the question, in order to take advantage of the DELAY which he. had himself Created. Next follows Lord Foley's SECOND note, and if Mr. W. had felt AT THAT MOMENT, as it appears .he felt LAST SATURDAY, why did he not THEN re turn the same answer to the same alternative proposed to him ?--- and why, on the contrary, did he come to ME, to request me to call upon Lord Foley, but for th e p urpose I have stated? And now, as to the DESULT ORY CONVER SATION h e refers to in which he would give us to understand that he might pos sibly have observed, that AFTER SUCH A LAPSE OF TIME, he should have been justified in refusing the satisfaction demanded, that there might be no misunderstanding as to this point, 1 beg to add to my former statement, that upon Mr. W.'s declaring he would neither contradict the report nor meet Lord P., I believe it was impossible to have expressed myself in stronger language than I made use of in stating.' my opinion of his conduct ; nor was it Until after this re monstrance that he .said he would, or might (I forget which) give satisfaction AFTER an action which he had no intention of instituting, unless driven to it by a challenge from Lord P. ; heed I then, add, that no consideration would have induced me to come forward as the PROFESSED FRIEND of such a man, but the motives which I have stated. Having, however, en gaged myself in the cause, I entered into it with the same zeal that a lawyer feels for his client, and with Mr. W.'s brief in my head, I waited upon Lord Foley. Upon comparing notes with his Lordship, I found that Mr. W. had greatly over stated his case, and, instead of inflicting a ohaatisement in than manlier which he had stated to his Mende, what ever might have been HIS INTENTIONS, they were frustrat ed by the superior physical powers of his opponent, who, seiz ing Mr. W. by the arms,held him fast till the calls of the lat ter for the watch brought.. the guardian of the night to his assist ance, and so the affair ended. )3ut perfectly satisfied of the truth of this statement, hot only from other inquiries, but the admission of Mr. NV. himself (at least as to his calling out for the watch), in a second interview with Lord Riley, I entirely agreed as to the necessity of a positive contradiction_ of this report; but considering the circumstances, and that no doubt such report had originated .from Mr. W.'s expressions under the irritation of his feelings at "the moment, he 'could not be expected to contradict it, and, therefore, I saw no ether way of doing justice to both parties, than by taking upon my self, as Mr. W.'s friend, the responsibility of th e act . This was accordingly agreed Upon ; and I would here submit, whether my explanatory letter, which appeared in your Paper on the 10th inst. under the circumstances which I have stated, ought 'not to have satisfied Mr. IV. Raving now, as I hope, justified my conduct thus far in the business, .1 come to that part of -it wherein my motives must have consoled me for any injury I might have suffered in the opinion of the world—l mean th e publication o f t h at pr i vate correspondence, ikrhich required no commentiity on the part of Mr. W. to- render it more unpleasant to my feelings than at the moment when the necessity of the case urged tnr to the act ; and it is for my friends to consider if any thing BUT tiedes sity could have urged me to a conduct which I flatter myself is an exception to the general tenor ofiny 'life- • ,But to continue. By this time I perfectly knew Mr.W.'and r n t s far as ICE only was concerned, I should have left him to his fate ; but foreseeing that a meeting betwixt Lord P. and himself must be the inevi table consequence of his reply tomy lett,er, and as 1 diet not anticipate under such circumstanc es -th e - fortunate result that has since taken place, I was resolved at all hazards to prevent it, and trust I.need neither ea - plain nor.' justify the motives of my determination. How then was I.' to act ? Mr. W. has proved that it would have been impossible to 'have prevented the insertion of this letter, and therefore 1 had no means what, ever of obviating the effect of it than - '• by deceiving hhn, and making such an exposure of the facts which might whollyy de feat his object, without hoviever; injuring him, or any others, unless myself, by the measure. Finding,however, that he DID .consider it as an injury, I could do no more than offer him the redress I have stated, which offer, as matters have turned, out, I am very glad he did not TAEN avail himself of, and hope he may be of the same opinion Now.

Two VeVf pieces were brought forward, one entitled The English at Paris, or Events of 18'21, of a comic kind. It was succeeded by.one of a terrific de scription, Michael How, or the Terrar of Van Dienzan's Land. The scenery was „striking and appropriate, and both pieces were' much ap, plauded. SADLER'S WELLS.—Mr. EGERTON, the respect able. actor of Covent-garden The a t re , h a s under taken the management of this theatre, which is the oldest, and was once the most popular, of all the minor theatres. The first piece was a melo, drawe, entitled The Mountain Hut, and the last, Easter Hunting. The scenery was picturesque in the former, and the latter sufficiently diverting. OLYMPIC.--The chief object of curiosity last night at this theatre were the performances of M. ALEXANDRE, the celebrated ventriloquist, and they were really very surprising in their effects. He is decidedly the best performer of this description that we have heard, and no dOtibt will be very attractive.
