coals, it was saiid3,• were 'open to the suffererz,' . if any thing illegal occurred; that it would be extra judicial,- to- pronounce an opinion' then; but at this very time an extra judicial - examination also was going on on the part of the Solicitor.- of the Treasury against' Mr. Hunt. Ile could not omit this oPportunit of stating, that he.wai astonish ed to hear his Learned Friends oppoilte (the So licitor and Attorney General) opposing 'the ap plicatio❑ of Mr. Hunt not to be tried in the county of Lancaster, where, from all the cir s•amstances, it was impossible that he could expect a fair trial. The . Learned Judges, seeing the justice of the application, did not hesitate to comply with it. If they were en tering into an inquiry whether 36 or 48 bad been the number at the infirmary., the House would do well to reject the motion ; but the object was to rescue the insulted Constitution of England, and to prevent this Act from being Construed into a precedent, and for this reason he thought this inquiry was and ought to he persisted in. The House was told the time was past, but it was known that during the last year the stranve and infatuat ed= conduct of Ministers which ;traced all their misdeeds, and• the misdeeds of those who went before, prevented it, and rendered it an object of more importance. The country was told the House of Commons was 'not a_fit place for in 9s.iiry. What! not fit for inquiry into a viola -Con of the Constitution ? And this they were told at a moment when the House of Commons - was willing to enter into an inquiry against a persecuted female ; for evidence against whom air the . inns of the Continent had been searched; fi-orn the effects of which the people of England fad happily protected that illustrious individual.' -(Hear, hear !)---If the House was willing to let that business sleep, why endeavour to keep the . question alive by the trial of the Hon. Baro net, and that not at a place where the letter was originally published. After this trial had been cbricintled a doubt existed in the mind of the Learned fudge, whose duty it was to pronounce sentence, that the tribunal was not legally corn petent to try ; after this it was a little too much to tell the House that inquiry ought to cease. In the course now pursued, the object of the Ministers was not to exalt the character of the House, but to degrade it.—(Hear, hear!)—He should support the motion of the Hon. Baronet. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL animadverted on th►e charge of his Learned Friend, - that the• Ministers of the Crown gave directions for the conduct of the Magistrates of Manchester on the occasion which was the subject of that night's discussion. He would take upon himself to contradict per emptorily every word of that charge, and assert that his Ministers had no communica tiou with these Magistrates on the subject, until . after the transaction in question had occurred.— Hi:; Majesty's Ministers had acted as they were bound to do on that occasion. His Learned Friend had thought proper to drag into his speech 9. 'thins topics, which could have no just connection with the subject. He alluded to his conduct, and' that of his Learned Friend (the Attorney-Gene- Tap; in opposing a motion of Mr. Hunt's to re move his trial from the County of Lancaster. He -would tell the House fairly why himself and his Learned Friend found themselves called upon to.take the course they did. That was, that had they acquiesced in the application, it would have - been tantamount to a declaration, on their •part, that no Jury could be selected from the County -of Lancaster sufficiently honest to be entrusted - with the trial of this matter. As this, however, -would have been an unmerited stigma, it was 'lmpossible for them to have acted otherwise than -they did. His Hon. Friend next adverted, for -the purpose of inflaming the House, and t):..ongh - 'the House, the Country, to a topic' whieL,'lre really thought, for the best interests of the Coun try, ought to be for ever set at rest. He -had, however, to state, both for himself and for the Ministers of the Crown, that they were not at all ashamed of the part they acted on that occa sion. Situated as they were, there was no pos sibility of their' acting otherwise. In order to judge effectually of this question, he ought to re •cal the attention of the House to the events -which preceded the Meeting at Manchester. He mast remind the House of the Meeting at Smith field, held in conjunction with others of a simi lar nature all over the country. Hunt was t the head of this meeting,- and the House would remember the treasonable nature of the Resaiutions agreed to there, and which were to have been proposed at Manchester. The -House would recollect that these meetings were is furtherance of a professed project of the Reformers to exhibit their physical force, to overthrow the Constitution of the country. — They would then judge how far the illegal meet ing of Manchester was calculated to inspire terror, and to claim from the Magistrates the utrne , st vigilance and promptitude. The lion. Baronet asked why the Yeomanry were selected to act in preference to the regulars. The fact was, it was purely accidental, and arose from their being first on the ground, the regulars, hav ing in the state i❑ which the town was, -deemed it prudent to take a circuitous route, in order to avoid passing a defile, which only-admitted one person a-breast. This principal objection to this -motion was, that that House, with 658 Members, •each entitled to put as manyquestions as he pleased, was not a fit tribunal to elicit truth.— The Courts were open, and it was remarkable that not a single civil action had been brought.— 'The expellee could not be urged, for the Hon. Baronet himself had contributed largely to the - fund established for this purpose. Mr. PHILIPS (of Manchester) said he should 'not have taken part in this debate, had he not resided at the place where the transactions oc curred, and had he not studiously avoided giv ing an opinion on the subject when it was last be :fore the notice of the House. Although the state of the country was disturbed, yet justice requir ed him to admit that the general expectation ethfre was, that the meeting of the 1 - 6th of Au gust would pass off peaceably, unless it was dis terbed by 'the Magistracy;. and he had been r cured on the best evidence that such was the" though after the charge of the Yeomanry the Lt.- most confusion and disorganization / prevailed. After an eulogium on the character of the Rev. Mr. Stanley, who happened to -he present, the Honourable Gentleman read a letter from him, relating to the events or the 16th of August, and to a narrative he had given of thorn. It was de cidedly Mr. Stanley's opinion, that the Nyarrants Might have' Doen executed without the aid of the military : he also spoke in his narrative most de ci;ively as to the ill treatment Mr. Hunt had re ceived, and `to the cruelty of the military to the mob; Mr. Stanley added, that as far as his . ob servation went, the representation of the transac tions in The Times newspaper was correct. Such were the principal - features of the relation the lion. Member had received from Mr. Stanley. As far as he (Mr. Philips) had been able to ascer tain, the people had armed themselves but little before the 16th of August ; if .arms were dis covered anterior to. that' date, he believed that they had been deposited by spies and informers. —(llear !) The So LICIT° It-GENERAL said, across the table, that two trials and convictions showed that the people had•prepared arms in large quantities before the 16th of .August.. • - Mr. PHlmps-continued.—He was very ready to 'admit- that'after - •the•l6th August the people 'armed •themselves -very extensively, with a view to their own protection-; but he still. contended, that they had not armed themselves in any large nurnhers•befOre the meeting, when their peace able .proceedings were disturbed by the yeomanry. To -this day it was unknown who had ordered them to advance - ; - this--of ,itself deserved investi gation ; and :the whole-case., for the sake of the :liberties•and. security of the people, demander! inquiry. • With regard to the rejection of Bills by the -Grand-Jury of Lancashire, -he meant to cast no reflection upon the Members of that body ; but. in reflecting on the grounds on which they might have thrown- out the indictments, it was but fair to take into consideration the .state of parties and political feeling -in the county.-- - --- FrOm their influence it - could not be expected that Grand• Jurors would be . altogether.exempt. Many doubts had existed with regard to the le gality of the meeting; and if it were illegal, they might entertain an opinion that thosewho had been present Were liable for the consequences of attending it,...and ought not to be the prosecutors of Bills to punish those who had inflicted injuries among them. He did , not say • that : such -had 'been- the ground on which the decision of the .Grand jury had proceeded; but it did-not seem at all improbable that some such notion might have operated upon them. Upon the whole view of the case, without:entering more- at large into itlat this late hour,. he thought the motion of the Hon. Baronet highly expedient. • When the Hon. Gentleman resumed his scat, the cries of " qtaestioa7 became, general. Mr. B. 'WILBRAHAM explained ina low tone as to some misinterpretation of what had fallen from him. - _ Sir R. WILSON moved that this debate be adjourned• until to-morrow,—(No, no: question: adjourn.) - The- SPEAKER pui the 'question, that the debate be ad journed till• to-morrow (this day.) • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER made a single remark,:not audible in the confusion of the House after which the motion for au adjournment of the debate was carried with out a division. The other orders of the day were gone through : afterwards the House adjourned at THREE O'CLOCK. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. • HO-USE OF COMMONS. Martis, 15° die Mail 1821.

SOLI M QUIS.DICB.FALSUM iIUDERT.2 LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 16, 1821. Dutch Papers to the' 12th inst. were received this morning. The following are the contents : " BATAVIA, DEC. 4.—The Government has lately received dispatches from Lieut.-Colonel Keer, Commander of the Island of Banca, stating that his expedition, destined to destroy the pirates, who, together with some of the inhabitants of Palembang, had established themselves in the eastern parts of that Island, had been successful. Lieut.-Colon'el Keer received, on this oc casion, manifold proofs of fidelity, both from the Chinese and the other inhabitants, and was assisted in his enterprise by Radja Aidi, both with boats and men. The principal object of the Commandant was to make himself master of the fortress of the Rebel Kadin Kling, to whom the Government of the whole Island had been given by the Sultan of Palembang, and which was provided with cannon, blunderbusses, and other fire-arms. " After a very troublesome march, Colonel Keer reached the fortress on the 9th of October, with about 160 men, of whom 50 were Europeans, and took it by storm. The garrison, consisting of 300 men, for the most part was put to the sword. The notorious' Radin'Kling, and several chiefs of the Insur gents, were found among the dead. We took five iron cannon, two blunderbusses, some muskets, and a large quantity of native weapons. Our loss consists in five killed,. and ten wounded ; among the latter are Captain Van der 'Wyk, and Lieutenant di Frnv. The zeal of the first is highly spoken of by the Lieutenant-Colonel. " The Commander writes, at the conclusion, from Torboaly, of 24th October, that he has fortified himself there, and is having'the place put in a good state of defence. On the,report of the fate of Radio Kling, the Batir Ganing was .abandoned by most of his people, and has fled into the woods with the re mainder. 'The Palembangers and other strangers have left the Island with their prone. Banca is tranquillized to within 20 leagues of Muntok, and it is hoped that the same tranquillity will shortly be extended to the rest of the island. MAY 11.—Accounts from Curacao, of the !,' state that advice had been received there the day :before4,4;tri Puerto Cabello, stating that Moralez, who corn. mends in 'Venezuela, since the departure of Mo;i1.10, had de. ;naudedthat the Insurgcts should evacuate Maracaibo, and that they have refused, unless the fortress of Cumana was given up to them ; that Moralez had, upon thl4, declared the armistice to be at an end, and that the Commissioners of Bolivar Were preparing on this account to depart again from Caraccas." We see in The Times of this day an official notice from the QUEEN. of her intention to re mainin this country. Such a determination is certainly desirable in one respect, as fifty thou sand pounds a year expended among those . from whom that sum is derived, is but a s prsper return of gratitude and justice; it will,be a considerable relief to tradeand it will depend on the QUEEN herself to - render her continuance in the country otherwise acceptable to the people.' It is how. ever to be hoped that she will never again suffer herself to' be made the instrument of faction, but enjoy the liberal establishment which she re- ceives with the quiet dignity becoming her ex alted situation and time of life. By this means she will, no doubt, improve and extend her connec tions, and may get rid of all those ill-advisers who have involved- her and the Country. in trouble and perplexity, 'merely for their own ends of pride, vanity, and ambition.—While we are on the subjetV of ':the . pecuniary resources •of .her 111.t.risr - r 7 we cannot avoid adverting to th o se o f Prince LEO,I?OLD. ft has been rumoured that the! Prince intended voluntarily to propose a dirnibution 'Of the great income which lie derived from the - liberality of the Country at a time when it was suitable to his domestic establish ment; but an event, - which the Country must always deplorei made such a change as to render an abatement highly proper in the present state, of things, while the people . are bending under the pressure of taxation.—As observations on this head have been _suggested to his Royal HighnesS in other quarters, we trust that he will reflect upon the propriety of such a reduction as will alleviate the burthens of the People, and that he will also expend the remainder . among them fOr the same !auchble purpose. • SHIP NEWS.

Down-' patrick, on Wednesday, the 9th inst., Col. MAT T lIEW FORDE was-elected Member foT the county of Down, without opposi tion. On the motion of Sir BoliEliT BATESON, Baronet, seconded by ANDREW NUGENT of Portaferry, Esq. the Freeholders unanimously "adopted the following resolution : " That we deeply larnint the great loss we have sustained by the death of our much esteeMed and respected Governor of the County, the late Marquess of LONDONDERRY:, whose strict integrity in the performance of his various duties,. and , whose many and eminent virtues, during his long and constant resi dence in this county, have deservedly endeared his memory to its inhabitants." The late Report of the Committee on Foreign Trade has already produced activity in some of the Swedish ports. From Gnttenburgh we learn by the last mail, the arrival of 23 English vessels there for loading timber ; - a speculation attribut ed to the diminution which has been recommended of the duties on that article. Captain PARRY'S Journat of his Voyage for . the Discovery of a North West Passage ; will be published Tins DAY.. BIRTH. or AN HEIR vo TUE WYNYARD ESTATES On Tues ay morning intelligence was received in Durham that Lady STEwAnT was safely delivered of a son, at Vienna, on Thursday the 26th of April. The announce ment of this happy event, and of the favourable state of her Ladyship's health, diffused'much joy throughout the city. The' bells of the Cathedral and. other churches rang merrily during the day; the flag of the Patriotic Tailor floated on the tower of St. Margaret's, and parties assembled at different inns to drink health and happiness to the. little stranger and his illustrious mother. The following toast, drank •at one of these meeti n g s , was thought peculiarly, appropriate :—" May the radical at mosphere of this county always feel the influence of a TEsr- PEST to clear it." In the evening about 300 of the freemen were entertained at the public-houses. On Wednesday the Mende; of Lord Stewart, to the number of thirty-seven; dined together at the Waterloo Inn, to cele brate the auspicious- event. • STEI'IIEN KEMBLE, Esq. was called to the Chair, and the Rev. Edward Davison was requested to act as Vice-President. Soon after the removal of the cloth, the Chairman, having intro duced the toast with a neat and appropriate eulogy, proposed " His mait sacred_ Majesty King George IV. and may he be blessed .with a long and prosperous reign over a loyal, affectionate, and united people," with four times four, and long continued shouts of applause. A band of music, provided for the occasion, im mediately after the toast struck up " God save the Xing."-.- "'The Duke of York - a nd 'th e A rmy ," with ni ne, 'followed. Tune " Duke of York's iilarch."—.". The Duke of Clarence and the Navy," with nine. Tune Rule Britannia." The CHAIDMAN then rose and said, that called unexpectedly as he had been to the honourable situation he then filled, which he had . hoped might be occupied by some gentleman more Com- : petent to do justice to the occasion than himself, he felt at a loss for words worthy of the toast which he was about to. propose. Yet he was aware that little eloquence was necessary, for lie• 'was sure they would drink it with enthusiasm, .when.he told them that .his.toast was, the healltof a virtuous, a lovely, and a good woman : one who had proved herself an affectionate wife, and had now become a tender mother, giying an heir to the houses of Vane and Tempest. Mr. - Kenible then expressed a hope that the infant Might inherit the virtues' of his grand father, " the generous, the noble, he friendly Vane," and that. Wynyard might soon - again become, what it bad before been, the seat of hospitality and friendship. He concluded by giving ‘,‘ the health of Lady Stewart; may she live long, and: enjoy every earthly happiness," with .nine,•and the most raptu rpus applause. • Tune-•" Heee' t a a health to all good lasses." " The CHAIRMAN then rose to propose the health of the Noble' Husband of, the lady who had just been drank.' • The conduct he observed, of L or d St ewar t, both Court and in the Field,. must have excited the admiration of every one; and he doubted not that. the int e re s t s o f thi s cotinty'would be much benefited by his Lordship's connexion with it. The - health of Lord Stew art was then drank with nine, and thunders of applause. Tune —" See the Conquering Hero." The'Chairman next gave "The young infidel, and may lie soon become a good Christian, and prove the joy and comfort of his parents," with nine, and loud applause. , Tune—" The Bonny Pit Laddie." „ . The VICE-PRESIDENT, after paying a handsome com pliment to the Chairman , for th e v er y a bl e an d deli cate manner in which he , had introduced _ the - toasts he had so appropriately . given, - said, he :conceived that. the . picture would be incomplete without the addition Of another toast, and he sho u ld th ere f ore h ave the pleasure to propose " The health, of the Cou n t ess of Antrim ;" which being drank, the Chairman gave " The. Hero of Waterloo, the Duke of Wellington,".with nine. Tune " The Highlander's March." Sir Henry Hardinge," with three, and -loud applause. Tune " The British.

Mr. Kemble returned thanks, and. proposed " the health of the Vice-President," who also ex pressed his acknowledgment of the honour conferred. Several other toasts were drank in the course of the evening, the band following up most of them with appropriate music, and some . of the gentlemen present added to the harmony and conviviality of the Meeting by the addition of n few good songs. An excellent dinner was provided, considering the shortness of the notice given, and mirth and good fellowship pervaded. the company. At Sunderland, the intelligence of the birth of the heir of Wynyard was received on Tuesday afternoon with great joy. The bells of the different churches were set a ringing, and con tinued their merry peal during the remainder of the . day. Co lours were displayed on board the vessels in the harbour,. and about nine o'clock in the evening, ten barrels of strong ale were distributed .to the populace in front of the Exchange. A grand dinner to celebrate the happy event will take place to-day, at Kay's, the Golden Lion Inn.—(From the Durham County Advertizer, May 12.) THEMISTOCLES.-Ancient Greece can boast of no hero more illustrious. The victory he ob tained in the Bay of Salamis over the Persian fleet, by which he prolonged the independence of his country, immortalised his name. As a General, his talents were consummate ; as a Judge, he was inflexibly impartial. Simonides, the Poet, requested him to relax the rigour of justice in his favour. "If you would think that Poet bad," said Thernistocles . , " who trans gresses the rules of metre, why should you not reckon that Judge infamous who holds the re quest of any one more sacred than the laws of his country ?"—A father consulted Themistocles to which of two• lovers he should marry his daughter : whether to a poor man of merit, or to a rich man of a bad character ? " Were I your placer said Thewistocles, " I should prefer a man without money, to money without a man." If we could be admitted behind the scenes of the political drama, and proceed from beholding the public affairs of empires to inspect their .secret origin, we should be astonished at the small springs that give the first impulse to movements of the greatest importance. Thends tocles had, a son who was the darling of his mo ther. " This little fellow'," :aid Themistocles, "is the sovereign of all. Greece." 44 HOW so ?" said a friend. " Why, he governs his mother, his mother governs me, I govern the Athenians, and the Athenians govern all Greece." As The mistocles was once marching amid the • spoils of his enemies, he said to one of his soldiers, " Col lect those spoils for thyself, for thou art not The mistocles." Mr. DANEZ Ivan sent by the court of Franc.: to the council of Trent, wherein he made a ve hement speech against the court of Rome, and in favour of the reformation of the church. As soon as Ile had finished, an Italian prelate said, with an expression of contempt, " Gallus cantat." Mr. DANEZ instantly exclaimed, " Utinam ad Gal/i Clin(11111 Peirus resipiseercl The KING'S VISiT to the ITALIAN OPERA. KING'S THEATRE. MAJESTYIIis having signified.hisintention of honouring this Theatre with his presence the se cond time this season, evey preparation was Made for receiving him with all possible respect. At the early hour of four in the afternoon all the avenues surrounding the Theatre were complete ly filled by crowds of 'anxious spectators, who awaited with much patience the usual time fOr opening the doors.. His .Majesty i accompanied by his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence', and followed by his usual suite, was received on his arrival at the Theatre by Mr. .Eliers and Mr. Ayrton, habited in full Court dresses, and was by them imm?diately conducted to the Royal !fax, which he entered. precisely at eight o'clock. The fer Vent loyalty which animated every breast within the house was never diSplayed iii a hao pier manner 'than •on -this occasion. Afterti:e tumult of applause had somewhat subsided, 46 God save the King" was called for, and the request was immediately complied with,MeSdrni. Cainporese.and Albert, with Signora Mori,'-fi'iVing. separate vers es of the air, w hil e the whole-0 1 *.,. raticistrength of the House, together with the brilliant circle, joined in the full chorus. Majesty bowed repeatedly in token 'of tbe sh:- core pleasure with whiA he received these indis,, putable marks of public esteem and rela?ct. Th Opera for the evening was La Ciemenza di Tito . ; the beautiful music with 'which this unrivalled composifon of Mozart abounds, received ample. justice from the modern syrens who perf orme d last night; and whose-'e - xertions' Were honoured. i:itlk the marked approbation of his Majesty.,L- Between the acts a divertisement selected from the. Ballet of Nina was produced, in which the skill of Mons. Albert and ?:ilademoiselle'Noblet was very conspicuous. At the close of the Opera, " God save the King," was again called for, and sung with the same enthusiasm - which distinguished it s fi rs t per f ormance. The Ballet of LaPaysanne Stipp . osOe, concluded the even ing's entertainment. After which thin nationa I anthem was sung a • third time ; and his Maj .sty having bowed in the 'most gracious manner to every part of the house, withdrew at half past twelve o'clock. We do not remember to have seen for a considerable time his Majesty looking in such good health and spirits as yesterday evening.. The Duke of Clarence was seated•on his left hand, and we observed in the Royal boX Lord Cathcart, as Gold Stick, and Lord Boston as the Lord in Waiting. FURTHER Pi\ATIGULARS.—HIS Majesty pro ceeded from his Palace in Pall -Mall with his At tendants a few minutes before eight o'clock, escorted by a party of the Life Guards. The Royal procession consisted of five carriages, in which were the usual Attendants. Lord Boston was the Lord in Waiting, and the Earl of Cath cart (Cofnmauder of the 2d Regiment of Life Guards) was the Gold Stick in Waiting. On his Majesty's arrival at the entrance of the Opera House he was•received with the acclamations of the public. Sir Robert Baker, the Chief: Ma gistrate, was in attendance. Mr..Ebers, the Pro prietor, and Mr. Ay r t on , t h e Di rector, appeared in full Court Dresses to rec. - 4.dve the King, and conduct him into the Royal Box. Tux THEATRE.,---W e have to notice with re gret another .of these disjigurements of dramatic works, which . the depraved taste of the times seems to render necessary.—The . Tempest, one of the most regular plays of SHAKSPEIRE, was re vived at Covent-Garden Theatre last • night, not as written by our immortal Bard, but as debased and indeed rendered ridiculous by DaynEs.— But this is not all, there was some , additional tinkering, and additional songs also were intro duced. The characters added by h a DEN are absolutely contemptible, and we earnestly hope that this fine play will be revived in its original state, and only with, the beautiful and appropriate music of Puacztd.—We 'pity t 1 e Managers for the necessity of courting pub lic favour by the alterations of other standard plays, but SHAKESPEARE'S' drama should be in• violate, except a$ far as entrenchment may be necessary, hut not be polluted by interpolation. MA CILEA D Y gave dignity to Prosper°, a nd ABBOTT was sufficiently interesting in Ferdinand, injured and disgraced as the character is by Dayncs• Miss FooTE was. light, playful, and characteristic in Ariel. Stephan° and Trinculo were well sell' ported by FARREN and BLAXcn kiln, and Calibtaa could not be in better hands than those of EmEaY• The piece ,was also stron g ly supporte d b y the vocal charms of Miss STEPHENS and Miss HAT ,- LANDE. The scenery was picturesque, beautiful, - and splendid.
