!Aced of. meeting that with any thing like can , demi., he endeavoured to excite the sympathy of the House in behalf of these individuals. He could assure the House that no one could feel more than himself for the situation of those who had been thus treated. But why did the Hon. • Member attempt to lay the emphasis on the 'junior Clerks? , Surely he might do so with greater reason if they had begun with those who, having been long in the service, had acquired a claim to protection, anti who, having become worn oat in the service of Government, were no logger qualified to turn their attention to any new mode of livelihood.—(Hear, hear !)—Until the details were brought forward, he desired the House to suspend their opinions, and not to allow their judgments to he biassed by any thing which fell from the Honourable Member for Aber deen.—(Hear, hear !)—I t was particularly false to charge his Majesty's Ministers with sparing the higher classes in office more than those in more humble stations. It was his duty to •state, that he should at some period of the Session propose a measure affecting the highest . as' well as the lowest offices in the State.—(Hear !) With regard to the personal attaclp of the Hon. Member, he•heggetl the House to wait till'the fit time should arrive for the individuals, or those who were qualified for that purpose, to answer for themselves. He thought, from the tone and man- ner in which these were. made, that they pro ceeded from a regret that the Hon. Member was not on that side of the House. With respect to the formation of the Ordnance Es tablishments, those who were better acquaint ed with that subject than himself would find an opportunity of replying to what had fallen from the lion. Member. Nothing could be more detrimental to the public service than to hash up all the stories which the Hon. Gentleman's tale-bearers had been collecting, and bring them before Parliament in the shape of a budget. If, discreetly managed, the multiplicity and agree able diversity of them might furnish entertain ment for the rest of the Session. With respect to the Amendment of the llon. Member, it was deserving of consideration, inasmuch as it in volved an important question. It brought before - the House the consideration of whether it would be better to attempt to relieve the distresses of the. country by an equal reduction of taxation, or, as was pointed out in the Speech, by mea sures tending to support and extend the credit of the country ; and not by measures which would degrade and depress it. Such measures would be not only mischievous but ruinous, and he would venture to say, that whatever un founded hopes the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. IL's) statements might create in minds incapable of appreciating them, they would be found totally to fail in their effect. Any reduction in taxation, so far from carrying with it effectual relief to the suffering classes, would in the first instance not only disappoint, but aggravate their distresses.— (Hear !)—At the outset, the abolition of the Sink ing Fund, and the extinction of the Public DOt, ' , would carry a blow to trade which would sett .sibly affect all classes, even to the agriculturists. At present they could borrow money at five per cent. ; but if the Sinking Fund were de stroyed, it would not be to be borrowed not for fir., nor , ;ix per cent. The greater part of the property of the Fundholders would go into foreign stocks. What made the public funds of this country so much better than those of any other was, the permanent good faith which was to be relied on. Let the Resolution of the Hon. Gentleman pass that House, and she.. , to the world that Parliament was willing to evade good faith on this point by a new system of reduction, seri the country would suffer in its credit equal to destruction. All Landholders would suffer increased difficulties. His Majesty's Mi eisters as well as the Honourable Member looked forward to a reduction of taxation. He (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) expected to be able to reduce the five per cent. stock, and let Parliament only shew a determination to sup port the credit of the country, and he should be much mistaken if he did not accomplish it in the course of the present Session. He could suppose nothing to afford so much relief to the landlord as the facility of borrowing.—(Hear, hear.) CALCHAFT thought it clear that Ministers did not mean to descend to any reduction of tax ation, and that the Right Hon. Gentleman had pretty plainly indicated their determination to that effect. When the Right Hon. Gentleman declared that such reduction would give no relief, did he mean to say that the repeal of the Malt, Leather, Salt, or Tallow Tax, would not carry relief to any class The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER disclaimed having said that taxation was not an evil, or that the repeal of taxation was not a benefit. What he stated was, that the simple repeal of taxes proposed by the Hon. Member, would be produc tive of more harm to the country by shaking the reline credit, than would be merely commensu rate with tho relief such a course might afford to particular classes. Mr. CALCRAFT wished it to be Understood that he should never vote for the repeal of a tax-until he was convinced that it Would not affect the public credit of the country. Mr. ROBINSON was not at all surpkised that his Right lion. Friend was not prepared to an swer the mass of statements which the iron. Member . for Aberdeen had thrown together in the speech which he had delivered. lie per fectly,agreed with him in saying that a question of so much importance never was brought. before the House in a manner so confused and uncon nected. Col. DA VI ES supported the amendment. TIM CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that it was impossible to admit the accuracy of such a mass of statements, without comparing theni with official papers. He could not pro nounce-upon. them under such circumstances, but he believed they were not accurate. With re gard ao the second question, as to whether he in tended to interfere with the metallic currency of the country, he could give a positive answer. lie certainly had no such intentions. Sir J. NEWPORT said, that, upon some points of the . amendment, he certainly could not agree with the Hon. Member for Aberdeen. After alluding to the distress of the country, it stated • that such distress, did not appear to-.the House to proceed from temporary causes. He was not prepared to say, that the House should make suck a declaration until they had examined into the various causes to whiCh the distress was attri buted. In another part, it contained an asser tion that the present SysteM of Finance was ag gravated, ruinous, and temporising. Now he for one was not prepared to pass this sweeping con demnation of the entire 'system, because he did not concur in the wisdom of certain parts of it. With these omissions, which would in no mea sure affect the general spirit of the amendment ) he should be disposed to give it his support. • Mr. Hume consented to make the alterations proposed by the Right Hon. Baronet. - The amended Amendment being put by the Speaker, The Marquis of LONDONDEItaY asked if it would be creditable to the. deliberations of Par liament, to come at once to such a vote as this ? He denied that his Right Hon. Friend had no other motive in resisting a ,sudden reduction of taxes, than to support the credit of the coun try. Any Gentleman who might negative the proposition of the 'Hon. Gentleman that night, did not preclude himself from discussing it on any future occasion ; and the HOuse ought not, in so indirect a way, to rescind their vote of last Session, by whicka large surplus of Revenue was reserved for the reduction of the debt. The proper mode would be, on some future occasion, to bring forward each specific tax which the country could part with. But the House would not support its own dignity, if, after a speech which no one could understand,—(Hear, hear!) they should, come all at once to such a sweeping vote as the Honourable • Member 'pro r posed. Would the House, merely on hear ing a mass of figures-which could•not be un derstood, come to a vote so inconsistent with the determination it had come to last year? He should insult that assembly if he supposed it could retrace its steps upon such a statement as had been'made, and of the truth of which it was un able to judge, without long investigation. Mr. TIERNEY denied that it was insulting to the. House to support the proposition then made. The whole country had for a long time been looking to the wisdom of Parliament, but now the country was looking to the character and, feelings of Parliament ; and he desired the Noble Lord and his friends to take care whether, before the end of the Session, they should not be obliged to agree to the very proposition -now made. For his own part, he would support every kind of reduction, however oppressive it Might be to some individuals, and howeVer it might take away from the splendour of others. He had no hesi tation in saying that the reduction of expences was not sufficient, but that the Sinking Fund ought all to go in aid of the suffering people, and that a re duction ought to take place equal to the present Sinking Fund, which was not five. millions, as had been stated, and which, were it not for the linvoc made upon it by the Rt. Hon. Gentleman, (hear !)—would now have been more than 22 millions. He was confident that a present re lief, by reducing three millions of taxes, would produce permanent benefit, and be ultimately advantageous to public credit. But he was sure that the Noble Lord and his friends would never reduce any burthen so long as they could avoid it. But very soon the Country Gentle men would tell them what their duty should be ; and then they would soon be obliged to lower their high tone. Mr. I-lUSKISSON could not understand the statement of the Hun. Member fur Aberdeen, and therefore he could not be expected to vote for it. He was not surprised at the Iti..zht Hon. Gentleman stating that the alterations of the Amendment were owing to his suggestion, because the whole was evidently a plan to catch a few stray votes. Mr. S. WORTLEY said he should not vote for the Amend ment, because the Royal Speech triad them that great IN due lions had been made; and they consequently were bound to wait and see to what extent those reductions west. Sir THOMAS LETHBRIDGF. was afraid that Mini•ters were not in possession of a frill knowledge of the distresses of the coontry. He called upon theirs to examine closely into the state of the country, and meet it face to fAcr. Sir J. SEBRIGHT spoke briefly iu favour of the Amend ment. Mr. Gipps, Mr. /Well, and Mr. Bennet, expressed similar senti merits. Mr. RICARDO, thou4h lie agreed with all that had fallen front his Hun. Friend, the Member for Aberdeen. in favenr of economy and retrenchment: could not vote in favour of hi s Amendment, as lie tbffered widely front him (Mr. Home) as to the causes of the existing agricultural distress. His Ho. nonrahle Friend stated, that the cause of that distress was ex cessive taxation ; but the real cause, it could not be denied, was the low price of agricultural produce. That taxation should he the cause of low prices was su absurd, and so in consistent with every principle of political economy, that he could not consent fur a moment to the doctrine. Agreeing, however, as he did, with his Huss. Friend, as to the necessity of economr and retrenchment, arid as to the impropriety of making luau, to the occupiers of lands, he was sure that they would be frequently found, in tire course of the Session, put string together that great necessary object—(Hear.) Mr. C. BATHURST contended tlrit the question embraced by the Amendment was not one of sect mean importance as to be taken up incidentally in the manner now proposed. Sir E. KNATCHBULL opposed the Amendment. He thought the only means likely to afford relief to the country must originate with the 6overtnnent. Mr. BROUGHANI spoke erongly against the inference drawn by the last speaker. Hu supported the Amendment, not without pledging hims , .rlf to any of the statements of th e lion. Member who proposed it. Sir E. KNATCHBULL explained. Lord PALMERSTON said, that the Hon. Measlier, by his proposed amendment, appeared dispu,ed to stand up between Ike House and that ea.to deliberation winch ought to mark all its proceedings, to draw it into a general declaration which could have no other effect than that of shaking the public credit of the country. Lord A. HAMILTON and Mr. MARRY AT supported the ,Amendment. Mr. LENNARD rose amidst a general cry of question, and gave notice, that unless smite person more competent than himself tool; up the subject, be should on an early day move an Address. humbly praying his Majesty to ter:unarm rid the House to revise S , arion. branches of the Civil List Expendi ture. The House then divided— For the Amendment Against it 171 Majority - -82 . The Address was then carried, and the House adjourned at ALF-PAST T‘VF,IVE O'CLOCK. STATE OF THE t OUNTRY. Mr. BROUG!-IAM, after the divigion, gave notice of his intention to submit, on Monday, a Motion on the distressed state of the Country. A meeting of respectable hop-planters has been held at the Bell Inn, Ticeburst, for the purppse of taking into consideration the propriety of pe titioning Government for a repeal of the Act impos ing a duty upon hops, as one means of, relieving _ _ them from the difficulties under which they are struggling. A suitable petition was accordingly prepared, and unanimously carried by a shew of hands; it was soon afterwards signed by every hop-grower in the parish .—(Kentislz 'Gazette, Feb. 5.) *** LONDON JOURNALS.—Its-The Morning-Papers are this day chiefly filled with Debates, they present nothing of in terest for extraction. .

From the important debates in both Houses of Parliament yesterday, on the Motions for Addresses to the Throne, we learn that Govern ment still entertain some hopes of preserving peace between Russia and Turkey; though that expectation is expressed in terms so general and vague, as to prove that Ministers are not in pos session of any recent facts which strengthen the probability of averting a war, and that they have not discerned any new circumstances or addi tional reasons for presuming upon the prudence of the Ottoman Government, or upon the pacific dispositions of its Mahometan subjects. His MAJESTY declares, " I have reason to enter tain hopes that these differences will be satisfacto rily adjusted." There have been cs reasons to enter tain these hopes" during the whole progress of the negociations; and these reasons, perhaps, have been chiefly :—that the personal 'character of the Emperor ALEXANDER is moderate and unambi tious,—that Turkey, distracted by an intestine tu mult, would rather submit to the propositions of Russia, than hazard a war with a powerful neigh bour, whose vast armies were ready to penetrate her territory,—and that the GRAND SEIGNOR and the Divan could hardly resist the mated in fluence of the great European Courts, all urging them, through their Ambassadors, to avoid a rupture which might endanger the tranquillity of Europe, and which would probably involve the downfal of the Ottoman power. On the other hand, there have been various and at least equally weighty reasons, which have been ad verted to in this Paper, for believing a war to be inevitable. The two sets of reasons remain in their original force, equally undiminished and equally unconfirmed, by any thing that has yet been said in Parliament ; and they will probably remain so until the final issue of the negocia dons, which, resulting in a declaration of war, or terminating in the continuan,:e of peace, shall at length establish the accuracy of the one and falsify the other.' In reference to the disturbed state of Ireland, it appears to be the intention of Ministers to propose certain extraordinary legislative enactments, which have been re quired by the Marquis of WELLESLEY, for the purpose of enabling his Excellency the more speedily to restore tranquillity to that dis tracted portion of the United Kingdom. It _ _ is certainly necessary that the strongest measures should be employed for quelling the frightful outrages which disgrace the sister island. We re- joke to perceive that it is also the sincere design of Ministers not to rely upon measures of mere coercion for the permanent re-establishment of order ; but that they are aware of the necessity which exists, for improving the domestic condition of the Irish people.—The most perplexing question for Government, as well as for the country, seems to have been the distressed condition of our agricultural interest. Minis ters avow their readiness to investigate the causes of the depression, and to apply any practicable remedy which may be devised. They hold out no hope of relief from a reduction of taxation ; and on the contrary state their opinion that a reduction of taxes, under all existing cir cumstances, would only aggravate the public em barrassments. M r. RicAltno,in the'Commons, so far agreed with them as to deny that the pressure of taxation is the cause of the agricultural distresS, an opinion which he characterised as absurd, and as inconsistent with every sound principle in Poli tical Economy. Lord LIVERPOOL, in the Peers, adverted to an intention, on the part of Govern ment, to make an issue of Exchequer Bills in aid of the farmers, taking security from the parties thus proposed to be relieved. Such a measure would undoubtedly relieve the farmers from some of their present difficulties, and would rrobably enable some of those whose ruin is otherwise inevitable, to surmount the difficulties of their situation but it cannot have any effect in restoring the agriculture, of the country to permanent pros perity. Smock EXCHANGE, Ten o' Clock. Opening of the, Market.—At an early hour this morning the Stock Exchange was crowded, and the moment the Market opened a great bustle and confusion prevailed : Consols were done in a few minutes at the following prices— rn Pti Eleven o'Clock.—Our Market is now steady at 77H, and some very heavy sales have been made this morning by several eminent Brokers, and one who bought on Monday above half a million of Stock. The report at this moment is, that Ministers intend to pay the 5 per cents., which has caused, a decline in that stock of on; per cent.

LORD CHAMBERLAIN'S OFFICE, FEB. 5, 1822. Notice is,hereby given, that his MAJESTY will hold a Levee at Carlton "House, on Friday next the Bth inst. at two o'clock. CEREMONY OF OPENING THE SESSION. His Majesty having announced his intention of opening the ensuing Session of Parliament in person, large crowds of spec tators continued to assemble all the morning, in every part of the line, from Carlton Palace to the House of Lords. Long before ten o'clock groups were formed anxiously inquiring of each other at what time it was expected the King would leave his Palace. It was '.generally supposed that twelve o'clock was tie appointed Lon:, but that time arrived and no further indications of the procession • starting appeared. By this • time a vast assemblage of people was congre gated, and, notwithstanding the exceedingly boisterous state of the wind, all sect - lied determined to retain their stations. Every moment the carriages of the - Nobility and 'Gentry were passing in rapid succession. They-began to set down at the. House of Lords by. eleven o'clock. The windows and bal conies of the honses along Whitehall and Parliament-streat were filled with elegantly • dressed females, and every spot that cominanded even ere remotest view of the procession 11 7 113 filled. A little before one o'clock,l the Oxford Blues marched out of the Horse Guards, and progeeded to Carhcin Palace. They were folloWed by the Life Guards, in their nee* *Grenadier Helmets, who wheeled to the ri g ht an d l e f t , and preServed the lin e uf road. At twenty minutes before two o'clock the Park guns commenced firing, and the bells of the neighbouring Churches struck up a merry peal. The gates of ihe Royal residence in Pall-mall were . then thrown open, and . the High Officers of the 'Household, the Lord Chamberlain, the Master of the Horse, &c. &c. in four of the Royal carriages and six, with the state liveries, pro ceeded towards the House of Peers. His Majesty, in his state carriage, which hail been gorgeously fitted up for the occasion, immediately, followed, preceded-. by about 20 of the Yeomen of the Guards, and several footmen of the household surrounding the carriage on foot. He was escorted by a body of the Oxford Blues. On his entering Pall-mall, and indeed throughout the whole procession, lie was loudly applauded, and the populace manifested the greatest possible respect, and wannest loyalty. Opposite to the Horse- Guards, h owever , some dirty looking fellow - s made a desperate rush and uproar, but their base attempts were frnstrnted by the long and con tinued acclamations that followed. His Majesty proceeded at a -gentle pace down Cockspnr-street„ Whitehall, and Par liament-street, and, with the most ,condescending affability, noticed by graceful inclinations of his head the reception he experienced from the vast number of his subjects by whom he was surrounded. The royal carriage droVe under a portico, which was erected for the occasion, in the front of Cotton.gar 'dens, where his Majesty alighted, and was received by the Ocand Officers of State, with the usual ceremonies. All the Windows were filled with spectators, by whom his- Majesty *as greeted with huzzas, the Gentlemen waving their hats and the Ladies their handkerchiefs, as 'the procession passed along Cocksput-street, Charing-c r o ss , Whitehall, and Parliament. - street. At two o'clock, the firing of the Park and Tower guns announced his Majesty's arrival in the House of Lords. INTEttiort ARRANGEMENTS. The long lit! of apartments through which his Majesty had topass in reaching the H ouse o f Lords , have all, within a few . days, been new matted, painted, and fitted up for the melt ' sip!) in a suitable style. These apartments were all filled, through the kind attention of the Great Lord Chamberlain to the wishes of the public, with spectator& All the other aye nue: leading to the House of Lords have also been matted, painted, and otherwise suitably arranged for the opening of Parliament. Means were likewise taken to 'prevent any but Members of the - Ilonse of Comm - oils from filling the lobby and passages between it and the House of Lords, through which the Speaker and' Members were to proceed in attending the summons of the Usher of the Black Rod to attend their Lord ships bar. Thee salutary arrangements were designed and completed by the Lord Great Chamberlain, and hi 4 Secretary, Ur. Falowcs; by the chre,!tions of the King himself. INTERIOR Or TILE iioosr. OF Loans. The House of Lords began to be tilled at an early hour ; be fore one o'clock all the benches, except the cross benches on the floor, were occunied with Ladies, the greater part of whom were of noble families.— On the first bench sate Peeresses in their own right. The gorgeous display of beauty and dress pre sented a most brilliant TOUT ENSEMBLE. The coui , D'G 5L was uncommonly brilliant and magnificent. The head-dresses of the Ladies consisted of feathers and diamonds intermixed with gold and Inver lace. The sides of the Bar were filled with Gentlemen in full dress. After one o'clock the Peers continued. to arrive, and before two o'clock the centre of the House was filled with Peers, the Judges of the Courts,' the Ba rons of the ExcheqUer, and the Masters - in -Chancery.— At a few minutes after_ two, a loud whispering announced that his Majesty had arrived, and shortly after, the curtain befbre' the door on the l e ft was withdrawn, tnel his Majesty entered, preceded by the Lord Chancellor bearing the Mace and' Seals, - and followed by the St a te Officers. His Majesty then ascended the throne, and his officers forthed themselves into a semicircle' round him. The Duke of Wellington, bear- j ing his State sword, and Lord Gwydyr, with hit wand of office, stood on his left; the Dukes of York, Clarence, and Dorset, were on his right, and several other noble and military men stood round. His Majesty then descended from his throne and ,quitted the House in the same manner he had entered it. His Majesty was dressed in a superb suit of white satin of an an tique fashion; He wore his Collar and Garter • he seemed in the enjoyment of perf e ct he a lth • and his dignified appearance strongly reminded us of the Knglish Kings of those times which are associated with our most chivalric notions. RETURN TO CARLTON PALACE. Shortly after his Majesty had retired from the Throne, he was conducted with the same ceremonies to his. carriage, and es:Arced by the Blues, he proceeded to-Carlton. Palace, attend ed with the acdanuttions of the spectators. On. the, whole, we never have felt more satisfaction at witnessing-. a spectacle of this nature, because we never saw more unequivocal displays of unaffected loyalty and devotion. llis AJajesty must 'have felt no little gratification on the occasion. Ills MAJESTY yesterday received visits from the Princeses SOPHIA and AUGUSTA. Yesterday morning,' at 11 o'clock, a Cabinet Council. was held at the Earl of LIVERPOOL'S house, in Whitehall. The Visitors below the Bar yesterday in the House of Lords were, in a great measure, pre vented from seeing his INIAJEsTY on the Throne, as many of the Peeresses stood upon their seats, and the height of their head-dresses considerably increased the obstruction. AilatiernoiSae BUONAPARTE, one of the daugh ters of the ex-King of SPAIN, JOSEPII . BUONA* P.AltisE, arrived at Philadelphia on the 21st of December, after a very unpleasant'and boisterous passage, which she bore without complaint. Her father' was delighted to see her, and 'received her with great affection, and her arrival had dissi pated the gloom which had prevailed ai Point Brine, the name of his residence, since the news of the dath of his brother. We understand that W. PRESTON WHITE, ES( I . I who has recently distinguished himself as an active Magistrate in the County of Cork, is the same gentleman whose gallant behaviour in the command of. the Chance, a private ship of war, is so honourably mentioned in the Naval Chronology for 1801. In that year he captured two Spanish ships of war of very superior force to the Chance; the first by boarding after a des perate resistance of three quarters of an hour : and the second after a severe action of near ly three hours. The energy, decision, and courage displayed •by Mr. WnrrEin his maritime career have been no less conspicuous on shore, and pro ductive of very benekial effects to the County of Cork, • MERCANTILE SHIPPING, &c.
