the country by the sum of 29,416-1/., and this taken at • 12. years' _purchase would amount to 353,5681. .He was anxious to have this placed on record, -and would therefore move, as an amendment, a resolution con:ail:AT the calcula tions which he had mentioned. Thelfon. Mem ber then moved his resolution. On the amendment being put., General GASCOYNE said that the lion Gent. should have recollected that,the length and ex tent of the late war had not only left many offi cers, but the children of many officers, charge :able to the country. In the .54tii regiment, which he had the honour of commanding, the six companies had been filled up since the war from. the half pay, and the consequence ‘s'as, that the oldest Lieutenant at the conclUsion of the'ivar was still oldest Lieutenant. Since 1;316, from 250 to 300 officers per annum had voluntarily re tirc.l on half pay, - -and it was not likely that they would again wish to be put on active service.' .coIoneI . DAVIES asked how many of the six companies had been filled by exchanges, paying • . the difference?—General GASCOYNE.—Not one. 6 Sir R. H. VIVIAN begged to allude to the , great difficulties to which Major-generals were exposed. They had formerly been able to sell their Lieutenant-colonelcy ; but now, though they paid 5,0001., they were prevented, by being put on half pay, from the sale of the commission. Colonel DAvJES asked how many of the six companies mentioned by the Gallant General had been - exchanged- ?—Gen. GAscoYNE.—Pour. Mr. HustitssoN argued that if the army were supplied from the half pay, none from civil life could have been received into it since the war.— Since - that period, 1,762 had retired on half pay, . by paying the difference. Mr. HumE said, his amendment would not in terfere with promotion. His object was to stop all admission into the first rank, till all who were willing to return from half-pay of that rank were . employed. He held in his hand a list of 71 En signs who had been put on half-pay the very day they had received their commissions. This was owing to the system. Of the 597 commi4ons, which the Noble Lord had stated to have been sold, he had not mentioned how many were sold by order of the Duke of York. The Commander in-Chief ought not to sell commissions.. Since the war 130 Ensigns had been put on half-pay the very day they received their commissions. This was an abomination. But this was the system in order that the Commander-in-Chief might give 4901. to some one, a widow or the children of an officer, a commission was thus sold. He believed the Commander-in-Chief acted with great discre tion and humanity ; but it were much better that any claims of the nature to which he had alluded should be provided for by Parliament, than that .commissions should thus be given to persons who, if he might judge from their age, ought not to .have left school.—Gen. GASCOYNE explained. Lord PALMERSTON said the whole number put •on half pay on the day they received their com missions, was, according to his list, 19. The Hon. Gentleman must have made up his list from returns during the war, when it was the practice to raise corps, not for service, but for the pur pose of being drafted into other corps. The officers of such draftable corps were at once put on half pay. The amendment was then negatived without a Mr. HUMS said the number since the war, ac cording to the Noble Lord's list, was 130. Th e • Noble Lord had said the list might be relied on : and that list was now his authority. Lord PALMERSTON explained that the cause of commissions being thus given on the same day on which the officer holding it was put on half pay was, that officers offered their commissions for sale, and their battalions were reduced before the sale was effected. It would. have been hard in such a case to have deprived the officer of the sale of his commission ; but the sale was, in fact, the sale of the'half-pay. This was the way in which officers were put on half pay on the day of receiving their commissions. ColonelD4SlEi made some remarks against , the general use of such a practice. Sir 11. HARDINGE spoke at some length of the hardships under which General Officers on half pay laboured. The Resolutions were then read and agreed to. Lord PALMERSTON, as was understood, gave notice that to-morrow he should move the votes for the disembodied Militia. To .a question from Mr. Bernal, The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said that be hoped it would be understood that for the rest of the Session Ministers would be in their places and ready to begin public business at half past four. He was perfectly willing to go into the fullest discussion of all the Estimates 'for - the year; and for this purpose it might be well to devote Wednesdays particularly to that purpose. Ministers were prepared to bring . on the Navy Estimates to.morrow but Thursday, biing the birth-day, was usually adjourned over. Mr. HUME sad that he should be at his post every day at half past four. The Marquess or LONDONDERRY, after con sultation, added, that it might be well to take the remainder of the Army Estimates to-morrow, the Navy Estimates on Friday, and the Ordnance Estimates on Monday next.—(Hear.) Col. DAVIES gave notice, that to-morrow he would move his address regarding the employ ment of half-pay officers. SCOTCH COURT OF ADMIRALTY. On the question that the Scotch Court of Ad miralty Bill be read a third time, Lord A. HA MILTON made a few remarks on the co:npensa tion clause contained in it.—The LORI) ADVO CATE noticed the endeavours used to render the measure perfect : he believed that 'it did not contain a single objectionable clause, as they had been approved by all the legal bodies in Scot land.—After a few words from Mr.•llumr, the Bill was read a third time and passed.—Mr. HUME, the LORD ADVOCATE, and Lord A HA MILTON, made various observations on the Court of Session Bill, after which the Report was taken into further consideration. It was ordered that the Bill should be read a third time on Friday. On the motion of Mr. HUME, several accounts relative to the Royal Marines, Artillery, and Engineers, were ordered to be laid upon Ow table, —The other orders . of the day were then read, and the House adjourned at NINE o'CLocu.

PRIVATE AND AUTHENTIC: CORRESPONDENCE. PARIS, APRIL 29.—There is a merit in resig nation, which is unknown to the spirit of Party, and like the girl who cried pippins, at her latest moment she still cried pip—pip—pip. So it is with our liberals here, they are fairly beaten out of the field ; those who possess superior talents have wisely withdrawn from the contest; but Ge neral DEMARcAY, and a few like him, still cry pip, pip, pip, to the great amusement of every body, and if you displease the General, he calls you out to pop, pop, pop ; happily there is no more danger in his popping . than his pipping, for his body and mind are equally paralytic. We are happy to see the Ministers, enjoy their tri umph with moderation, and smile at the efforts of the two extreme parties. It was a stroke of policy to bring VITROLLES into the Ministry, because he dare not now breed fermentation, and keep up his occult Government; all his argu ments are overpowered in the Council of State, and he is reduced to a non-entity. M. BENOIST is in the same position. The public voice ac cuses these gentlemen of knowing something of the forgeries invented to ruin Al. DE CAZES, who, in a dignified silence, consoles himself with this truth of holy writ, " Magna est veritas et prevalebit—Great is the truth and will prevail." His enemies are now ashamed of their inventions, but they have not honesty enough to avow it to his MAJESTY ; but who has, we understand, been informed by the Duke de RICHELIEU and Baron PASQUIER, that they attach no credit to the ac cusation. At present no political news is stir ring : 'every mind is occupied on the forthcoming Fetes, which are to be of the most splendid de scription. One melancholy fact is elicited, on this occasion ; there will be distributed succours to 44 37,445 indigent families ;" one quarter of the population of Paris is then in a state of indi gence,, for the population is only 750,000. The Constitationel said this succour was lo be given to those who wanted bread. The Journal de Paris, indignant at the assertion, made the mat terworse, by declaring that it was only for " in digent families who were already inscribed on the register of the city as such, and received parochial relief daily!" FRENCH PAPERS.—[Received last Night.] " PARIS, APRIL 29. " The King has sent an invitation to every individual Mem. ber of the Chamber of Deputies, to attend the fete of the bap. tism of the Duke de Bourdeaux. " Letters from Naples of the 9th April announce, that the Spanish ship of the line Le Guerrier, of - 74 guns, and. the frigate of the same nation, La Perle, of 44 guns, which were in the bay of Naples, have received orders .to sail immediately, and leave the ports of the Two Sicilies. . " It is currently reported that the Duke of . Wellington will soon be on the Continent. It is said that he is intrusted with an important mission to the Government of the Netherlands, and that he will visit the fortresses of that kingdom. " If we may believe the Augsburg Gazette, his Majesty the King of the Netherlands will repair immediately to Vienna, to have an interview with the Emperor Alexander. " Great interest has been excited among the politicians of PariS by the trial of M. Bergasse, a venerable royalist, aged 71, who had written a pamphlet on the transfer of piiiperty; Which the government accused of being inflammatory and contrary to the charter. The jury thought otherwise. " TIIE FUNDS—ApriI 27, 5 per Cent. Consols., 85f. 70c. ; Bank Actions, 1547 f. 50c.—April 28, • 5 per Cent.

Everywhere things are put again on their ancient footing. "- Letters from Laybach announce that the two Emperors will remain there a month. " It appears that the Allied Powers are determined to do their utmost in order that this Congress may be the last. They imagine that it will be easy for them to repress for ever the agitators of Europe. " The Austrian troops, without any resistance, are spreading themselves over all the Neapolitan provinces. It is said, how ever, that Civitella del Tronto, under the orders of Colonel Pepe, still obstinately holds out, and rejects all accommodation. Some hundreds of the most ardent of the Carbonari have there found yin asylum. • " ROME, APPJL 14- " Letters from Udina, dated the 2d, state that the advanced guard of the Russian army will arrive in that city on the 29th. —That army consists of four corps, commanded hyLleut.- Generals Marshals Avray, Rudsowitz, Rota, and Rorosdin.— The force of all the Russian troops marching for Italy amounts. to 70,000 infantry, 20 ; 000 cavalry, 3,500 cossacks, and 372 Pieces of cannon. " MADRID, APRIL 16. " General Morillo has been three days at 'Madrid. He has had an audience of the King. " The authors of the troubles at Madrid on the 14th of Au gust last have just been tried. They were sentenced—:•iz., Martinez to death ; he. was a sub-lieutenant of chasseurs and chief of the band ; two other indivieuals were sentenced to ten years' imprisonment ; three to six years ; and three were ac quitted, but sent for trial before a Court-martial for desertion. " The Life Guards who are accused of having taken part in the events', of Madrid on the 4ti and sth of February last, have been transferred to the convent of St. Basil, where they are cut off from all communication with their friends or the public. " VIENNA, Amu. 10. " '►'e expect here, on the 23d, the regiment of the Emperor Francis, which forms part of the Russian army marching .to Italy. The regiment will do duty at the palace for three days, and then proceed forward. The first column of the Russian army will arrive on the 26th at Presburg.. " FRANKFORT, APRI.I. 23. " The house of Rothschild has just received orders from Lon don to be ready with finds for the supply of the King of Ent:- land on his journey to Germany. his Majesty will make a short stay at Frankfort. There is a talk of hiring for this Monarch the fine palace of the late M. Schwitzer, banker. It is said he is to have an interview with several Monarchs of Eu rope. The report gains ground that the King of the Nether lands will go immediately to Vienna. " Great preparations' are making at .Darmstadt for the re ception of the Ring of England, who is expected in this part of Germany in the, month of August. The Grand DuchFss and all the persons of 'the Court have sent their jewels to Paris to have them rel.set in a new style, in order to appear with eclat at the fetes given to his Britannic Majesty. " AdVices from Presburg state, that the advanced guard of the Russian army entered that 'capital on the /9th. The Turkish and Russian troops are advancing in great numbers on the Turkish frontiers. " The Austrian Observer asserts that the Revolution has failed in Moldavia and Walachia. The accounts from these countries, however, state, that the Greeks are more than ever determined to continue their enterprise. "'NUREMBERG, APRIL 21. " IVe learn from Vienna that between the 12th and 15th of this month several Russian officers have arrived in that capital. Among them is Count Witgenstein. " The Emperors of Austria and Russia, who are still at Lay back, intend, as we are assured, to leave that town about the middle of May on a tour in the South of Italy. " It , is observed, that in the present state of things, Prussia, Who, through the medium of Prince llardenhfrg, took an active part in the deliberations at Laybach, has made no military Fe.. paration. The army is, however, so organized that it can be as sembled in a very short time, should circumstances require it. " The report which has been circulated that a second Rus sian army would pass through the territories of the German Confederation, in order to advance to the Rhine, is destitute of foundation. " It is believed that the Sovereigns have transmitted to the present Spanish Government a note, explanatory of their senti ments on the political changes introduced into that country. A similar note is understood to have been transmitted to Lisbon. " it appears that the states of the King of Sardinia will ob. tain a Representative Constitution, and that the Emperor Alex. ander has even manifested a faVourable opinion on that subject. . We are informed, that on commencement of hostilities between the Sardinian Government and the insurgents, Count Mocenigo, the Russian Minister at Turin, conforinably to the instructions of his Court, repaired to Modena to treat with Prince Charles Felix on this point. " It is said that the English Government is about to rein force very considerably the garrisons in the lonian islands. It is also intended to send troops to Malta. A strong Englisl squadron of observation will besides be kept in the Mediter, ran eah. " BUCHAREST, Mancn 13. " Three Kaimacans of the new Prince Of Walachia, arrived here from Constantinople, within these three days, inform us that a considerable corps of Turkish troops is in march to at tack the rebels. The Kaimacans have levied 250,090 piastres on the Boyards for the maintenance of their troops. " ODESSA, MARCH 20. " A ship, under the Russian flag, from Constantinople, ar rived in our port after a passage of 70 hours, brings intelli gence that the events of Moldaviaand Walachia and the insur rection of the Greeks are well known to all the people of the capital. • The Captain also reports that a strong American squadron has appeared in the Archipelago, and captured five Turkish ships, two of which are frigates. The reason assigned for these hostilities is the non-recognition of the American am bassador. Th, whole Morea is under arms, and the inhabi tants of that Peninsula are formidable both by sea and land.— The captain durst not venture to take charge of letters ; neither were any brought by other two vessels that have arrived with fugitives, lest they should be taken on the passage by the Turks, and thus the writers of the letters be exposed to danger. Prince Ypsilanti is a very gallant officer. lie was wounded by the side of General Moreau at the battle of 'Dresden : the same bullet that struck the General carried away Ypsilanti's left hand." The Haitian Official Gazette of the 11th of March last contains the proceedings of the Spe cial Military. Commission appointed,, to try,,G-ene ral JEAN PIERRE RICHARD, and his accomplices Colonel HENRY CIMETIEttE, the Commandant BELZUNCE, and Captain DOMINIQUE, who have been severally convicted of a treasonable conspi racy, and condemned to death, ,The act of ac-: cusation charges them with having endeavoured to corrupt the minds of certain of the military, and instigated them to insubordination and revolt against the Government ; and that with a view of clandestinely arming those whom they thought they had seduced into their- designs, they de manded a supply of muskets from • a foreigner, residing at Cape Hayti, named HOFFMANN ; whose refusal, it is added, to deliver to them the arms on the night he was required so to do, alone prevented the spilling of Haytian blood at the Cape. Mr. KENT, of Glasgow, has invented a ma chine, by which he is enabled to walk on the sur face of the waterovith perfect safety, at the rate of three miles in the hour.

SOLEM QUIS DIOERE FALSUM AUDEAT LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NAY 2, 1821. Paris Papers of Saturday and Sunday arrived this morning. —Letters from Naples announce that the Spanish ship of the line the IVarrior, and the Spanish frigate the Pearl, which.we're in the Bay of - Naples, have received orders to set sail immediately, and to leave the ports of the Two Sicilies. If this intelligence can be relied on, it is confirmatory of the rumoured hostile in tentions of Austria and Russia against Spain. The advanced guard of the Russian army, marching for Italy, was expected to 'arrive at Udina On the 29th ult., and most extensive military preparations are 'said to be going for ward in all the Russian Provinc*s. The Austrian and Russian troops are stated, in an article from Frankfort, to be advancing- in great force on the Turkish frontiers. All the accounts respecting the Greek insur rection concur in representing the cause of the Greeks as gaining strength daily. There is a report of a battle having been fought between the Turks and Prince. YrszLANTI, without any decided success on either side. Advises from . Presburg state, that the ad vanced guard of , the , Russian army entered that capitai on the 19th. The Austrian and Russian troops are advancing- in great numbers towards the Turkish Frontiers. The Allied Sovereigns have invited the late King of SARDINIA, VICTOR, EIIMANUEL, to re ascend his Throne. In Epirus, the . Christian Sulikes treat wit the Turks As equals: Consternation prevails in every part of the Morea ; and the Foreign Con suls consider themselves in such danger that they have turned their houses into so many fortifica tions. The most important extracts from the Frencl Journals will he found in our preceding columns Nothing has yet appeared, in a satisfactory and authentic shape, to contradict the fact, men tioned in our Paper of the 7Th ULTIMO, on the authority of our Correspondent at Paris, of the Emperor of RusstA having applied to the French. Government for a passage through France to Spain for a Russian army. On the contrary, subsequent communications seem to confirm it, or at any rate to strengthen the probability of such an application having been made ; and in short we have now reason to believe, that a treaty to that effect has actually been concluded be tween Austria, Russia, and France, anti that we may soon expect to hear of the march of the Allied troops into Spain. From the Spaniards, however, distracted and divided as they may be, we have little doubt that the armies of the Holy Alliance will meet 'a powerful re sistance. We lament that Spain should so soon become again the scene of warfare and Woodshed, and particularly of a war that has for its object to rivet more firmly the chains of despotism and superstition, which have so long depressed the energies' of a country, evidently designed by nature to be the seat of a great and flourishing nation. That the Spanish Constitu tion is open to many essential objections' is most true, nor do we deny that in some instances the conduct of its advocates has been indiscreet, violent, and absurd.; „but howe r ver objectionable the proposed form of Government, or whatever may be the conduct of its advocat e s or 0 pp 0 ..1 nents, nothing, in our opinion, can justify FO REIGN INTERFERENCE, SO long as the peace of Europe and the neighbouring States remains Un disturbed and inviolate.—Strongly as we repro- . bated the wanton aggression of Austria upon Na ples, it was justifiable and harmless compared to any attempt on the past of the Northern Powers to dictate to the Spaniards an arrangement of their domestic contentions. For, in the one case, the hope of attaining great political advan tages, and securing much territorial influence, might form some excuse to palliate such interfe rence ; but, in the other, it can only be founded on principles the most despotic and obnoxious to the general welfare and happiness of mankind; and it is obvious that these same principles might lead the Emperors of AUSTRIA and RUSSIA to prescribe to this country how far any project for reforming the practice of Elections, and correctino , the abuses of Parliament, should be carried.' But there is a great moral lesson now displaying itself before our eyes, which only blindness can fail to perceive, and only madness can dare to . _ disregard. There is a determination in the hu man- heart to .he' emancipated from ignoble and coercive - thraldom; *We may trace it in loth" A. neiiiisphereS, and in every divisiort of the earth— it has stretched with gigantic strides across the waters of the ocean ; and no league of Potentates can retard it, by whatever ties their alliance may be cemented, by whatever name it may be con secrated ; and therefore, though we look forward with some degree of pain to the developement of the views of the Northern Powers, we are convinced that they - must ultimately be frustrated. It is evident that the intentions of Russia are not pacific ; that she is preparing for some great enterprize, and the only doubt is whe ther she designs to "accelerate the destruction of the Ottoman Empire in Europe, or to prop up the declining influence of • superstition and sla very in Spain. We must confess, we still retain our opinion that the Russian Government is not unconnected with the insurrection of the Greeks. We wish that we could also believe that it is dis posed to extend its assistance to them from ge nerous and disinterested principle; unalloyed by any hopes of increased power 4nd political in fluence resulting from the expulsion of the Turks from this quarter of the globe:: We a& com pelled,o'n the contrary, to tbink r that s.uch assist ance not only will 'not proceed from any desire to release a brave people from the fangs of mer ciless Tyrants, but that it will only lie extended in such 'portions, and at such times, as must ine vitably drive them. from Turkish slavery into Russian dependence. There are many reports in circulation, but how far any of them are de rived from authentic sources we will not pretend to say. They all, however, agree in represent ing the Russian and Austrian Cabinets as actively engaged, and daily strengtheningtheir influences and connections, and it is even said that Russia has so managed as to obtain possession of Sicily. We might, in short, be led to anticipate the passing of the Dardanelks by a Russian fleet, supported by the co-operation of an American squadron, as uo improbable event. There has certainly Tong existed a decided preference on the part of the Russian government in favour of America. American ships and American com merce have long teen greatly 'and essentially favoured in Russia. 'P his fat tutu perhaps have given rise to the report of a private arrang4meot belween the two powers, hut in the present de graded state of the foreign press, it is impossible to receive regular, full, and accurate information of all the events passing on the continent; but enough has been developed to convince any man that the present period is one of the greatest interest to every European state, and that it is the duty of our government to adopt such mea sures,' with energy and decision, as may secure our naval superiority, and protect the independence and integrity of the British Empire from the in trigues' anti ambitious designs of the c on ti ne ntal powers.
