He alluded to the cave of De Young, who ~v;:s convicted some time ;Igo of mendinieein on' of the . country ? The Ctishicapt.oa ot the Excnisauan said, that lie could not give the Noble Lord any information upon that subject ; but time were . some of his tiol.leagilesw,ho were present would probably be able to give him an answer. 1 ,; ,("he then resolved 401 into a Committee 44 0%44. .COMMITTEE Of: SUPPLY. "Me. Yenta rose to move the usual vote of sea men,, the same in number as that of the last year. The , Sestrs of lest year greeted 145,000 seamen, in. eluding 31,406 marines; and it appeared to hiM that rts Ittstry would be required now, for though our successes in the Indian sea might seem to make ritat illlerforce necessary, the situation of the North rind East of Europe must prevent, for the present, any considerable reduction in that establishtnent. It should also be recolletted, that a long time must elapse before the return of the ships from India, even if it were thought expedient to make any al teration in that respect. A change had taken place last year in the manner of voting seamen. It was then conceived right to pros ids for the viftualling separately, Vestead of including it, as was formerly the pretticei under the general head of wear and tear, and he should bow propose the vote of supply upon the same principle. The nap' number of marines for the present year surpassed the estithate in coesequenee of the voluOteers who went out on the expedition to the Scheldt, but he should only require a vote of 145,0001. for the sea service alto gether. • Mr. Wurraavma said, he del not mean to op pose the .vote , , but could not help observing, that Cite estimates of the last year were printed ; he was serry• that was nor the case in the:present'. As to the necessity (=leaded for by the Right Hon. Gen tleman of maintaining so great a number of seainen, he was the more inclined to be dissatified with it, as, so Much W stared in the course of last Session; particularly hy one Right Hun. Gentleman, upon 'the propriety of look rug to the naval establishment otie great source of publie'-'reireriehtnenL The Right Hen. Ge.itlernan had mentioned' our great tut:tom:6 in the indi4o seas, but turning his atten, titer hem thewe to the North of Europe, he, had represented the lorce of the enemy to be increasing in thee Scheldt. On hearing this declaration, it was itnpossible to ovoid regretting the ill success which itteeded' till our attempts. It had been stated in evidence last year that the Basin of Flushitig was dfstroyed, sod, now it was to he apprehended that the enemy was collecting his force there. He should make tie other remark upon those points for the present, but resents himself 'for future opportte Mr. Yoeste Said, that the vole of this day re ferred metety to the wear and tear, and that the other pelts would be brought forward as soon as pOSNibln. As to looking for tiny great or material retrenchment in the number of seamen, he was not pee et shoe who reckoned on it with much assure• mice in the present situation of Europe and ot the war ; and as to the operations in the Scheldt, he still thought ther great advantage •Was derived front them. The • destruction of the Basin of Flushing enabled us to relieve our fleet from watching con tinually ; and the Basin of Aotwerp had 'received great injury, which also contributed greatly to ob struti the enemy's designs. Mr. W A ILTEKEAD wished to know, as the Right Hon. Gentleman said, that the Basin of Flushing was in the same state now as when the army ktt it, whether he intended to be understood as tut-ailing, that it was not practicable 'to French ships? The. -Bight Hon. Gentleman 'had observed that there Was not now so' touch necessity for keeping the navy urn the alert; surely, he thought,. that, was tantamount to toiyitig,sshat a smallet nuthber of ships would do. It was true' Commodore UA 01 had said, that the operations in the Scheldt would not enable us tc dispense with else single ship, or one single seaman; but this perhaps was not she time for insisting upon those points, and therefore he shoeld reserve Inane& for another. , Mr, Yona.a odd, in answer to the lion. Mem ber's question, that the Basin of Flushing was not prie9ieable to ships of the line; he did not know whether the smaller tesseis of the enmity might, or might not, poke any use of it:, Allier a few words from Mr. Ward,, the Motion . was agreed to; and the following suits voted on the motion of Mr. Yorke :-es For wear and tear of the Navy . • • 43•345,750 tor 'Vitiustring . . . . . 4,000,00,, ear Aurens.ro.e . . • . . . 6 . 0759 Lord PAIMERSTONE' moved for the sum of ,000,0u01. for his Majesty's Land 'Forces; and e.trotettool. for the Militia' of Great Britain led Irekind. Mr. WHITBREAD wished to know whether it was the intention of the Noble Lord to recommend any alteration in the system of the Leeal Militia ? Lord PALMEESTONS said it was-the, intention of Government to diminish the number of days of at. tendanee from three weeks to a fortnight, except in irne ease of those who had not served last year. WHITUUsan inquired whether any distinc tion was to be made between the trained and the un trained in the same corps ? We understood his Lordship to have said 'that there was.

Lord FOLKESTONE, beeing the Attorney-Geoe ral in his place, begged lea+ e to repeat the question he had already put to Ministers. The Right Hon, Gentleman no doubt recolletled a person of the name of .De Young, who , was found guilty some tirne'ago, He (Lord Folke,tone) wished to know in what situation the proceedings stood in that case ? The ATTORNEY•G EN ER A L said, that they stood over with other questions .of the same description for argument. Lord FOLKESTONE Wished to know when the ar gument would be brought on The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied, that that re mained with the Judges, not with him ; when they wished it, the Counsel for . the Crown were pre pared to argue it. There was another case situated in the same manner ; and if his Lordship had made inquiry of the persona who into used td upon this, be would probably find that they were perlettly well acquainted with it. The Scotch Cieditoa Bill 'was read a first and second time, and ordered to be committed, to-mor row. Leave was given to bring in a Bill for eieaing Docks and Warehouses in ROtherhithe.---Adjourned till to-morrow. THE SUN. 1101.1.0.1 QUIS 1 , 41.11 UM AUDIAT?

WILLIs." It is stated in the Morning Papers, that as the Convoy for Lisbon was getting under weigh at Ply niontly, it was stopped by a telegraphic message from the Admiralty. Another account adds, that it was ordered to proceed to Ireland. We can take upon ourselves, upon the beet authority, to inert, that there is, not the slightegt foundation for these statements• The transports were unfortunately detained in port for some time, not by a telegraphic message, but by the elements we haVe, however, every reason to hope that they are by this time nearly across the Bay of Bisely. We this morning received Dutch Papers to the t 7th, from which we have made copious extratis, which will be found in a subsequent column. 'We have extracted from the French Papers the details of BUONAPARTE'S Decree for disposing of the stock in trade of the Printers whom he has snp presled, and for regulating the indemnity they are to receive. The excessive tyranny of IitIONAPARTR'S Government long ago destroyed every appearance of free discusaion in France, but still he was not satis fied ; he therefore determined to have recourse to a Measure, which, if it be peracrered in for any length -of time, must completely : barbarize that enslaved country. It is one 'of the most gigan tic plans that ever was formed against the im provement and civillYzation of mankind. It was," it is true, the mistaken policy of some goVern meats, when Europe was emerging from bar barism, to endeavour to keep the people in ignor ' ance, as the most effeetual way, to preserve their own power; but BUONAPARTi'S plan is more dat ing and more wicked. It is not to keep the people ignorant, but to make them so; it is not to'pre vent the acegiaition of knowledge, bat to destroy that which has been acenired ; it is by one blow to undo the beneficial labours of centuries, and to re- , duce mankind to that !tune of Ignorance, slavery, and wretchedness, in which they languished in what is emphatically called the "daik ages." This atruci .ous attempt will not be confined to .France; where ever lIVONAPAItTIeg power extends, tt will be di rcEted against the freedom of the press-.-against the liberty and the happiness of mankind I and ye t there are men in this country, calling themselves the AdvoCates of Freedon - i, who, if they do not openly defend his concluet, at least endeavour to palliate it, and from whose language dud conch)* we are almost led to suppose that they would wish to see this Empire added to the list of those which have till= tinder 1110 yoke of the Tyrant of trance.
