Mr. LUSHINGTON observed, that the Hon-. Membei :must point out a way of ascertaining the information he wanted be fore the Return could be made. Mr. HUME thought a reference to the affidavits deposited in Office of the Paymaster-General, for every quarterly pay= nr...nt of half-pay, would furnish - the means of Making out the :1-i.eturn.

SLAVE TRADE LAWS. ;11r. lAJSIIINOTON, pursuant to notice, rose to move for ,leave he bring in a Bill for the consolidation of the existing. ofarzwe relative to the abolition •of the Slave Trade. As he did' net expect any opposition to les motion, he should:refrain froth going into any detailed statement on the subject. lie would eterely state, that for the last 30 years the house- had been pas sing a series ofStatutes, for the purpose of either checki ng , or for the final abolition of this odious traffic. Those Gentlemen who had introduced these Statutes had not thought it necessary 'to sepeal the Statutes e \ ellielowere in existence before them; and the consequence was, that it had become exceedingly difficult for eperson acting in obedience to the hives to discover whether he was •remplying with the provisions at all," or .whether he was net accidentally violating some of them. It appeared,therefore, .to Lim, that the c onso lida t i on he. proposed should take place, especially as the execution of them was entrusted, amongst otters, to Officers of the Navy, and Custom-house* Officers, who had not an opportunity of consulting. them; niii,nerous,Sta- , .lutes. A consolidation, therefore, he proposed to make, con taining all- the provisions of the other Statutes, in aform so clear, that if taken up by th e o ffi cer i n command of a cruiser, arsany other person, there would be no occasion to look else-- where to.know how to ac t. Thi s t he H ouse would see was a work. of considerable difficulty • and labour, and lie"confeseed •;that in the Bill he intended to introduce, he had been.assisted • by, the labelers of a Learned Friend, whose attention had' long been directed to the subject of consolidating the laws. It was no intention of his to alter thelaw . , which would be precis e ly theearne as at prosest, except such as .should point out in the shepe of amendment; - which appeared to him to be defects--. lie trusted the House would, permit him to bring in the Bill, And in the Committee he would explain his views more fi c was aware that the system was subject- to many objections: elorne. of the cmeetnients were obscure, and others were defec --tive ; but thertewouldbesa ful! opportunity in the Commiitee for considering these points, and he would take care that any tnsltvidaal Member, who should desire to introduce a clause. teriding to promote what had been for so ' l ong t h e great e h e ee iect of Parliament, should have an opportunity of doing Tbe principle upon which the consolidation would be made wee perspicuity. his intention was, if he succeeded in this in eite.hoe, to apply the same principle, in the course o f •th e next 4.:Ssion, to odic: parts of the law. Much he thought - might be elope, by the principle, bottle criminal code. That, howeeer, , was a consideration for the future—for the present he should ceotent himself with moving- . -- ' • " For leave to bring in a Bill to consolidate 'and amend the Jaime; relatiVe to the Slave Trade." BERNAL wished for time to make some inquiries on the mode of executing these laws by our agents abroad, before tie?. Bill should pass through the House. • Mr. DAWSON considered that a Bill of .this nattire was - Much wanted, and would be of great use. It had his full assent., Ales LUSHINGT,ON said, that as the Bill would not, be in a Committee before the middle of March, there would be klenty of time for his lion. Friend (Mr. Bernal) to make .the eenquiries he desired. Leave wag then, given to bring in the Bill. Mr. DAWSON Lid. on the table a report of the compare ,-tive Population ofthe different Counties of England.

LATION OF AN OFFICIAL NOTE FROM THE .OaTOMAN PORTE TO HIS EXCELLENCY LORD STRAN:GFORD, ...ENGLISH AIkiBASSADOIt . ,. DATED DEC. 2, 1821. Corumonication having : been . made to all the ;Ministers of the Sublime-Porte,. as- well as .to the -Members of tht Councif,"hf two pieces, contain= ing the instructions which the yery.distinguished . Ambassador of - Eng'anti :.tosthe Ottoman-Porte, Lord Strangford, our frienk given to his Dragoman, -which pieces, previously, and: in last. resort,- presented to` the Porte„ have entirely confirmed. the communications made. by the ,very distinguished Ambassador tit Austria,' our friend, in the conference which has just. taken' place with him, in . which the points nOw in agi 7 , tation between the Sublime,Poateand the Court of Russia, and relative- to some other represen tations; have been discussed, and the' result of this conference having .also neen communicated. to: the' said Ministers and Members 'of the Council; the whole 'has cometo their knowledge. - It is. superfluous to.say, that it is as little ne-. cessary to give pthofs of the good opinion,which . the Sublime Porte has at alb tithes entertained of the Court, of England, her greatest and most affectionate friend; of her' confidence in that Court, and of the real and unequivocal friendship which. reigns between them,. as it would be to declare that the Porte has kept in view, .in con cert with friendly Powers,- the cantinuation of general tranquillity..;. that , she. has no other Ob ject .that she will never commit the.detestable. action of violating treaties, and of being the first to commence war ; and 'that her attention 'and her' 'i . crlP,ulo,ns_ care to execute to. the very letter the treaties. concluded with Russia,. are unceasing add preyed . by experience. ...Nevertheless, whilst:it is necessary in return that Russia should - first of all - execute the article relative . to* the surrender of the Refugees (the first - point of discussion!, but_ subject to no inter pretation; and one . ... Which, on. account ..of. the r 61 1 f;i!, ought to be carried into effect without delay,) she has signified that under existing _cis cmnstanCes, .she cannOti whatever 'be the motive, surrender the Refugees whom the Sublime Porte claims in virtue of treaties, and because she con siders that surrender as necessary to'the restora tion'of tranquillity. With respect to the Greek nation, which forins imaginary 'projects' of creat ing a country for itself and establishing its inde pendence, it commenced its rebellion in the two Principalities, and then in other parts of the Ot toman Empire. As up to the present moment it lifts the standard of revolt, and makes war in various provinces,the Sublime Porte, for the sole purpose of maint a ini ng . .good order in her domi nions and restoring public tranquillity, proceeds to the - punishment of the rebels according to the . impulse of. necessity, and ,to what the rights of - sovereignty and the interest of her internal affairs require. In this state of things, it would be most inconvenient to withdraw the Ottoman troops from Wallachia and Moldavia, and to ap point and send Princes to govern those provinces, for : they. would become the asylum and refuge of rebels and banditti. However this may be, it appears that in ad vancing this demand, the object of .Russia is to acquire importance in Europe in causing her will to be obeyed. But the fact is, that, as far as it regards the Porte,; the point in question is subject (this is as clear as - day) to all kinds of, inconve nience, as well under a civil and national point of view, as widen' those of law, and religion. It is perhaps a thing, which, as it has been shewn by auteriorand late communications made on the' part of the Porte,'may tend to disturb anew that very tranquillity which it is wished to restore, and may - inflict a wound on the rights and authority of the Porte. The .Sublime Porte therefore hastens to de clare sincerely to her friends, 'who wish for ge neral tranquillity, and who ;admit the . just grounds which she has to withhold her consent from this point, .at least at the present monent, that since :it is stated that Russia cannot, under whatever motive it may bey surrender ..the. refu gees at this period, all th a t th e P orte can do, and that solely for tl' purpose of •preserving peace with Russia, and. out of regard for the friendly,representatioes which the Court of Eng land has just made on that subject, is to adjourn her just claim on the refugees. But with respect to the evacuation • of :the two provinces, and the sending, anew . Princes to go vern them, as .the Greeks have risen for the. avowed purpose of delivering Greece, as they have rebelikf in various parts, and are. to this day in a state of revolt--in a word, ~as the first rebelliOn has lireken out. in- Wallachia and Mot daviai: it islinpossible for the 'present, that is to say as lohges_the insurrection of the Greeks is not appeased; either hy' the punishment 'of the rebels„ or their subMissiOn.and appeal:to.tpercyi and as' !Ong as the Sublime - Porte shall not be convinced that she has nothing to apprehend on their part, it is impoisible that she should ap point two individuals &Om amongst them as Princes, and should entrust to their hands the a.dministsition of two . rich and fertile provinces, forming part of the. Hereditary States of his Highness. No mail can doubt that theltussian Court, by persisting - in her demands upon "that'point, a point entirely incompatible with the internal regula tions of 'the Sublime Porte (wbicl} is as ckar as day) does a thing contrary to the rights of men and of nations, . _ It. is therefore possible to.modifx this affair as :a last resort in the following manner,. viz. Until the rebellion shall have ceased, , the SO time Porte shall cause the two Provinces to be guarded' by the offiters whom' she has placed there, and by the. number of troops necessary to: protect the country against the Brigands, 's ith out allowing the Itapahs to be molested or vexed in the ,least degree ; she shall confide to, the, Gre.eks the affairs which concern the Princ..l - as it is done at this time by the Cairna cans, who'are als4 G‘reel;, and, for the_pr e s en t the evacuation o f th e 'Provinces, and the nomina tion of their Princes, shall be deferred. As to'the affair of the Churches, which is . une Of the points in - dispute, as soon as the rebellion shall have been appeased, consent will be given, as rar as the law allows, to the:reparation arid re-construction of those Which formerly existed, whatever injury they may have suffered. With respect to the free exerc i se of the Chris t, -, tiara, reiigiou, as io the past, th e Sublime Porte has at no period ‘s hatever said any thing against that exercise: The punishments which the SubErne Porte now, inflicts are confined solely to the indivi. duals who, in open rebellion, reject the ant. nesty ; 'and -it is well known that protection continues to be given to those who have not hoisted the standartj of revolt. From the mo ment that rebellion Shall have ceased, punish ments, shall also cease. The greatest care CC)11. tinues to be taken, as it has al w ays been done, to distinguish the innocent from the guilty, and this is carried so far; that although it be known that the conspiracy is general, yet attend ing only to appearances, 'nothing whatever is said to those among the Greeks wh o have not raised the ,standard of revolt, and they ate pro tected as heretofore. All this. being generally known, and his Excellency .the British Ambas sador admitting the truth-of all th ese facts, it is unnecessary to repeat them here. The Sublime. Porte wishes to believe, that in the same manner as all-her friends, after hearing her complain - 0 on - all these points with a spirit of moderation, (complaints which she' has proved to be founded on justice and consistent with her rights, equity, ana truth) admit ~ , vithout lieitct tion that they are well grounded, so the!Court of Russia will, on her side, display due regard for what is matter of right and of justice. In this hope, the Sublime Porte requests the Court of England, whose friendly disposition towards both parties i4not doubtful, to put i n action all th a t her sincere friendship and that justice require, and to use her good offices to ac commodate in the Manner above mentioned the differences existing between the Sublime Porte and the • Court of-Russia.- It is with this v i ew that the pr esen t N o t e has been drawn up am transmitted to his Excellency the British Am bassador.

Foreign products are to pay but one import duty of from 20 to 374- . per cent. when brought in foreign bottoms, and this duty is to be reduced by - one-third if they be brought in Spanish vessels. Foreign products so:introduced cannot be sent to Spanish ports where their importation is prohibited. The ,products of Cuba shipped there for Spanish ports under the national flag shall pay no export duty, but- only the Administration duty mentioned in the General Tariff. When shipped for foreign ports, 6 per cent, shall be levied on theiramount. National products, when exported from any port of the, Monarchy to the.island of Cuba, in national bottoms, shall only pay the Adminis tration duty ; the nalural products of Cuba, brought to Spanish ports in Spanish bottoms, shall pay no duty of any kind, except when they . are admitted to the exclusion of foreign products of the same description : in -this case they shall be liable to' the Consuniption duties established by the General Tariff. All decrees already issued or to be issued relative to the Customs, shall be duly communicated to the competent Authorities of the Island ;. and lastly, the Pro vincial Deputation from the ' Havanna!' is em powered, after taking the opininti of some other Authorities in that city, in Santiago, and Cuba, to determine what . duties are to- be paid by foreign products, subjecting itself,. however, to the maxim-um and minimum: mentioned above ; to.lower, ,or entirely suppress the export duty also .mentioned abOve . on the 'products of the Island shipped for foreign parts ; and lastly, to make, such modification's or alteratiOns in the Decrees relati ve to the custoinsAs,•it May deem necessary for reconciling the.. general system wi the local circumstances - of the Wand."

The POEMS of CAWS VALERIUS CATULLUS, trans lated. With a Preface and Notes. Ey the lion. GEORGE LAmn. In Two Volumes. Our Readers will „remember that, about two years ago, we presented to them translations of many Poems of CATULLUsf by a learned and in genious • Corres — ponde - ni, whose other pursuits .have since preyented us fron t receiving more of hislfavOtirs, but to ivhorn We hope to behereafter often indebted for the effusions, of his sprightly and- elegant Muse. We have here a transl a ti on M of the Roari - Roet highly hPhOurable to the learning, talents, apdfaste of Mr. Lomp. The work is introduced by . an admhable original poem, entitled " Reflections before PUblication," and by a very instructive Preface; in which the Translator estimates with great acumen and judgment the genius, character, and productions of his author. It was observed of DRYDEN, that he always bestowed high praises on the works on which he happened to be employed as a trans latni. This obseriltiOn b:y, ho,means aPplicable to Mr. LAmn, who,though one of the warmest ad mirers of CAutrius, enters into a candid but just estimation of his merits.. As a proof of this just and candid spirit'of criticism, Mr. LAMB Oxamines the pretensions . 'of `C.tnir.r.tis to•the epithet of learned, which had been applied _to him, and fairly concludes that " the title of learned never belonged peculiarly to him, btit was merely en joyed in common with all Poets." He does not, however, come to this conclusion without Sufficient inquiry. Thetranslation altogether.is animated, and judiciously varied in metre, according to the nature of the subject, and diSplays throughout great facility, spirit, and elegance. T;he pre liminary. poem may rank with some 'of the best compositions in our language of a similar de scription. If it were note so long, we should gladly give it entire, but we cannot deny our qelves the pleasure of extfacting, one passage.— Mr. LAMB, who is himself a Barrister, vindicates those who, though professors of the Law, occa sionally pay their court to the Muses. For this ptirpose he.calls up CATULLUS to assist him, who refers to the examples of TULLY. CALTUS, HOII 7 TENSIUS ; and then from himself Mr. L. gives the ftkllowing just, elegant, and appropriate trillute to Sir WiLment Jonas and Sir WILLIAM BLACK.. STONE :-- 1 - - Did he, with every lore and language fraught, ' . • - Who'ivon the smile ofevery Muse he sought, Who, judge and statesman, and revered as both, . . With Europe's wisdom lightened Eastern sloth, Made tribes with , bigotry of ages dim Love e'en their conquerors whit hack honour'd him; Yet still would pour amid his high career ' The strains of Haft on his country's 'ear ; * Did he but toil to teach these after-days That law alone can be the lawyer's praise, To leave a legacy of Gothic pride : In studied ignorance of all beside ? Nor such the rule, when he, whose labour shews The roots whence Britain's polity arose, Law's classic tutor, who could well beguile The driest study with the purest style; , . When Blackstone Moum'd the life n o M use adorn'd, Nor tuneful honours even Murray scorn'd.. • • —We shall take an early opportunity to extract some of the translated Poems,' in order to shew how far Mr. LAXB has entered into the spirit of his author. In the mean time our' Readers, we are sure, will join with us in the pleasure which we feel in seeing a gentleman of a noble family, and, moving in the first circles, possessed of so much learning and taste,and devoting his leisure hours to pursuits that do honour to himself and the country.—We should observe that the notes are copiouS, and manifest great learning, judg ment, and abundant research. * Sir William Jones.

We insert in our preceding columns the Offi cial Note-delivered by the Turkish Government o Lord STRANdFORD, on the 2d of December Our Readers, will see in this document a strong confirmation of the truth of our statement,, that Government had 'abandoned ,all reasonable hope of an amicable termination of the negocia- tio . ns.. Russia had delivered in certain demands ns her Ultimatum ; and ..to noO - one of thetn',.sO late as December last,.had. the Porte acceded.., The CabinetOf St. Petersburgh would. become the iatighing-stock of Europe, if it:should, instead of guarantees for the instant ; fulfilment of its de mands, take the promise of the Porte to grant, as favours and . concessions, some of the points which, are now insisted upon by Russia, after the Greek insurrection shall have been , sub dued ! The intelligence frthn Odessa yes terday stated, that the Note transmitted to last. St. Petersburgh at the end of December by the REIS EFFENDI, had been deemed veryunsatisfac tory by the Russian Cabinet. The Note, which we publish this day, sufficiently proves that the information from Odessa was correct. A spirit t. of evasion runs through this important document, which evidently shows the repugnance of the Porte to allow of any interference in its inter nal affairs; and when the proud and irascible character of the SULTAN is taken into considera tion, the chances of war are still further strengthened. The Ward " Supply " having been mentioned the House of Commons on Monday night, Mr. BENNET, faithful to his threat; immediately moved for an inquiry into the.scircumstances Which occurred at the late QuEENN Funeral"- and the loss of lives upon that occasion. A great deal has been said of her MAJESTY being dragged through unsuitable • places, -and Lord LONDON"' DE4ItY seems to have _thought that this never .Was so much the case as when she was introduced into a discussion respecting the Supplies. How ever, Mr. BENNET observed, that " the old, con stitutional course in Parliament was to call for " a redieSs of grievances when the Supply was asked by the Crown."—lf therefore the motion had been peisisted in and duly supported, it. would, • according. to Mr. BENNET, have been perfe c tly', becoming : and regular , for the Rouse .to delay granting the sums required for public exigencies, till some . steps .had been .taken in the inquiry why. the KING'S servants had directed the re- Mains of the .KiNq's Consort 'to be carried out of Own throngh one street rather than another.-- This 'national grievance is, however, destined to come befOre Parliament on one or more occa sions; and-first, we 'believe, on the motion of a gallant Ex-General, whose case may naturally enough connect' itselfin the minds, of his partizans and 'subscribers with a " Committee of Supply." It has been too much .the .custom of late, in.po pular discussions, to illustrate the, present satia tion of the country. with respect to its burdens and .embarras.stnents, by likening these to the dAficulties of a private individual. .The fallacies involved in such a comparison would appear too striking and notorious to require any comment yet it seems by the Parliamentary Report of yes,- terday, that Mr. 13ROI;GII1 i has not disdained to lend 'them his sanction in ..a..part of his speech, - where he is said to have. observed, " So pros perons was our course, even. in.a financial point of view, that our. revenue was. but one million more than our expenditure,,sleaving the whole interest of the debt to be provided.for. If,a man, in private life had an income of 1 . 0,000/.. a year, owed a debt, the interest of which was 50001. a year ; and spent almost his 10,000/. a• year, so that he was compelled to borrow to pay the in terest of his debt, what was the name which would be given to the situation "of such a man ? " Without at p resen t enter i ng into the argu ment of which th ese sentences form a part, :tee strongly object t o the mode, o f . ill ustrat i on , a s calculated to mislead,not the Hono ura bl e H ouse to which it w as add resse d , or the well-informed in general, but a mu l t i tu d e of . persons. in the class which is s tyl e d, par exce ll ence, the people, • whose understandings ought, if possible, to be kept clear upon a subject respecting which they are DON so often called upon to raise their voices in petition. To the apprehension of such per sons, the moral of this favourite apologue must be, that if the nation resemble A private gentle man who • has outrun his ince*, the nation, like that gentleman, will be' . a guinea the . Wealthier for every guinea 'retrenched from' the accustomed expenditure, and consequently," that if this were reduced one half, the coun.s• try ; would. be twice as rich, and the credi tors twice., as thriving and twice as. secure.'
