SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. the question of the Russian loan, and of the con duct of Ministers with regard to it, wns disposed of last night in the way which we had anticipated. Mr. Herries took nothing by his motion,—the Mi nisters remain uncensured,—and English integrity and honour are intact. The argument upon the continued liability of this country to the discharge of interest on the loan, after a separation had taken place b e t ween H o ll and and Belgium, of a nature wholly different from that against which the treaty had provided, had over and over again been put opon grounds which no effort of the Opposition, during last night's controversy, could disturb. England is a party to the separation —a deliberate and willin g party—and cannot, therefore, take ad vantage of her own wrong. That, we believe, would suffice for any Court in Christendom, whether of t - 'quity or h onour. As for the coincidence in point of ti nle, however unfortunate it may have been, be tween the Russian war upon unhappy Poland, and th e PaYment o f t hi s money, or a part of it, is such a a/-a-psopos, let us ask, to be imputed as a crime to Ministers ? Was England bound to scrutinize the internal condition of Russia, and her relation towards all neighbouring States ? And would she then have been justified ? Must she not have been execrated by the whole world for refusing to dis charge a lawful debt, until she had ascertained the Russian Government to be so curiously situated, that 11° Sum whi c h f ound i ts way into its Exchequer could by any possibility be turned to an evil purpose ? Is the monstrous doctrine to be admitted, that the pay ment of a j ust debt is to be refused because the mo ney Paid may beimproperly employed? If I owe a man 1.10,000/.are we to decline payment on pretence that' e may squander the money on a mistress, or at the gaming -table ? The argument respecting the con liversion of the English interest to the uses of the Po sh war is precisely tantamount to what we have just described. It cannot be too emphatically re peated, that upon the whole case, the British Mi nesters acted like upright and provident statesmen, cherishing, above all adverse considerations, their country's fame and character. The greatest num ber who supported the Ministers in January, on a similar motion to that of last night, was 238 ; last eight 243 Members voted with them. The in crease to the majority is not great, being only five; but the Opposition have lost 17 votes; so that, in fact, the Ministers may be said to have gained 22 V otes such is the natural result—the necessary tri umph of truth and justice over the best organized effort s of mere party.--Times. As we s u p pose d , t h e O ppos i t i on l ast n i ght took the pettifogging line, although Mr. Pollock laboured herd to protect them from the imputation. In an swer to the straightforward question put by the At torney-General —were they prepared to vote against the Bill to enable the Crown to carry into effect Pollo c k pro v i s i ons of the conven tion--Aye, or no ? Mr. ollock said that question was not before the House that they were then discussing Mr. Herries's re 'elution, to condemn the payment already made, ar il on which Parliament had'already come to a de c,:ltue. The economists had a strong desire to save ; 6 11 m, represented by the Oppositio n t o b e equa l to fiv e millions and a half of money; but no dm- Position to recur to the old grievance, or to co tkur in a censure upon Gov ernment .

YORK._" V IIOLERA IN , ("tihe cases from the ' m t 4 , l, it , eorement of the disease on t h e 3d of June, 338 ; t:l,,, ° °, 127; recovered, 163 ; remaining 4)3.—. York Ncle, (No. 12,129.) GENERAL ELECTION UNDER THE REFORM ACT. We gave yesterday from Mr. Cockburn's edition of the Reform Act, a summary of the qualifications of electors for counties, and of the duties of overseers with regard to the preparation of the lists of county voters. We now take from the notes of Mr. Cock burn the following clear and comprehensive state ment respecting—first, the right of voting in boroughs; second, the right of voting in cities and towns, being counties; third, the franchise of burgesses and freemen; fourth, the right of voting by reason of inhabitancy ; fifth, the duties of over seers in respect of lists of voters for cities and borou g hs 1. Right of voting in Boroughs.—By the former law the elective franchise in cities and boroughs varied in different places according to Acts of Par liament, charters, local usage, or rights established by last determinations of the House of Commons. Now, however, with a reservation in favour of rights existing or inchoate on the Ist of March, 1831, (sec. 31-33), the right of voting in cities and boroughs is vested in every person occupying, as owner or tenant, any house or other building, which, either separately or jointly with any land within the same city or borough, is of the clear yearly value of 101. If the amount of value be made up (as it may be) by different buildings, or by buildings or land jointly, such buildings and land must be held under the same landlord. The exercise of the right is made to depend on the following conditions : The voter must be registered: and in order to be registered, He y must have occupied the premises twelve calendar months next previous to the last day of July in each year. In parishes or townships in which there is a poor rate, the premises must have been rated to all the rates made during the period of such twelve months' occupation. . _ He must have paid, on or before the 20th July in each year, all rates and assessed taxes which have become due in respect of such premises previously to the Gth April next preceding. Lastly, he must have resided in the borough or within seven statute miles thereof, six months before the last day of July in each year. As to Residence.—lt has just been observed that the statute, in addition to the twelve months' occu pation of the premises necessary to give the right of voting in cities and boroughs, requires a residence of six months in the place, or within seven miles thereof. Occupation therefore and residence are distinct things in the contemplation of the statute. Such indeed they have been considered at law. See Rex. v. Tunstead, 3 T R. 523 ; Rex. v. ildlard, 48. and C. 772. And it seems clear that, pro vided there be a residence within the place, the voter need not reside in the premises in respect of the occupation of which he claims to vote. A man may be said to reside where his dwelling place is, more particularly where he retires to rest or sleep. Co. 2 hest. 122, and see Re. z v. Ilfildenhall, 3 B. and A. 37,1. It can hardly be considered that the six months' residence required by the statute must be a continued ' and uninterrupted abiding in the same place during ' that period. Occasional absence, provided the elector have a bona fide intention of returning to his former abode and continue to consider the place in question as his dwelling.place, will not prevent him from being a resident within the meaning of the statute. Wootton Bassett, Rog. 161 ; Milborne Port, C. and D. 227; Rex. v. Mitchell, 10 East, 511. Where, however, persons have two places of re sidence, in each of which they occasionally abide (as in the case of gentlemen having town and country houses), it may be difficult to say whether such persons can be considered as residing in both such places at one and the seme time. Still, if both houses have been bona fide retained for the purpose of habitation, and occasionally used for that pur pose, it is probable that an occupier under such cir cumstances would be considered as having suffi ciently resided. The premises occupied need not be the same premises. The occupation of different premises within the same city or borough, if occupied in im mediate succession, provided the other requisites mentioned in the forgoing section are complied with, will be sufficient. 2. Right of voting in cities and towns, being coun ties.--The act, having established the right of vot ing for cities and boroughs generally in the 101. householders, provides in the three en.uing sections for the reservation of certain rights already existing. This section applies to the case of cities and towns being counties of themselves, which have not been incorporated under schedule G with the adjoining counties, and in which towns the elective franchise was vested in freeholders and burgage tenants. In such places this right is preserved in perpetuity, sub ject always to th e p rov i s i ons o f sect.zviii. to respect of freeholders for life. The exercise of the right is, however, made to de pend on the following conditions : The voter must be registered : and in order to be registered, He must have been in actual possession, or in the receipt of the rents and profits 12 calendar months next previous to the last day of July in each year, except the freehold or tenement shall come to him within such time by marriage, marriage settlement, descent, succession, devise, or promotion to any be nefice or office. He must have resided six calendar months in such city or town, or within seven statute miles thereof. - - . Ai to residence, see ante, s. 27, n. Nature of Franchise.—When the right of voting in cities or towns, being counties, is attached to freeholds, the freehold must be, in respect of tenure, interest, and value, the same as is required at county elections. By 19 G. 11., c. 21, s. 3, it was necessary that freeholds in cities and towns, being counties, should be assessed to the land-tax in order to give the right of voting. That necessity is now removed by the section of this act. Where the right of voting is attached to burgage tenure, the burgage tenement, t o g i ve t h e r i g ht, must be entire and undivided, as it existed before the time of legal memory. If the tenement has once been divided, the right of voting before annexed to the soil ceases. The right becomes, however, sus pended, not destroyed, and will revive again, if all the parts are re-united in the hands of one tenant.- 1 Lud. 230; 2 Fras. 115 ; 2 Heyw. 278, 289, 290. In boroughs where there exist half and quar ter burgages to which a right of voting is annexed, such burgages are considered to have been split before the time of legal memory, and cannot be again sub divided, notwithstanding any local usage.-2 Fras. 151; 2 Heytu. 278 ; 1 Peck. 3-19. The interest which the tenant must have in his burgage depends entirely upon the usage of the city or borough. -2 Hcyw. 292, 297, 309. 3. The Franchise of Burgesses and Freemen. — This section provided for the reservation of the right of persons entitled to vote in respect of corporate privileges. Freemen and burgesses, who but for this act would have been entitled to vote, are to retain that privi lege ; but as regards treemeti in general, this reser vation extends on l y to such as were adm i tte d on of before the Ist of M arc h, 18 31. To theiatter limitation there are two exceptions:- 1. Freemen admitted in right of servitude. LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 13, 183:2. 2. Freemen admitted in right of As regards the latter, a distinction is made be t.veen cases where the right is derived from or through a freeman admitted in respect of servitude, or in respect of any other right. In the former c ise, the right may be derived from a freeman ad mitted at any time present or future. In the latter, the person from whom the right is derived muse have been a freeman, or entitled to be admitted as such, before the Ist of March, 1831. The effect of this enactment, therefore, will be to secure for life the right of voting, where such right before existed, to freemen in general, if admitted on or before the 31st of March, 1831 ;—to secure in perpetuity the right of voting to all freemen admit ted in respect of servitude, whether already admit ted or at any future time to be admitted ;—to secure the right of voting, where such right was before annexed to freedom in respect of birth, to the de scendants of freemen in general, if such freemen were admitted, or entitled to be admitted, before the Ist of March, 1831; to the descendants of freemen admitted in respect of servitude, in per petuity.. The right thus reserved to the burgesses and free men is, however, made to depend on the following conditions : The voter mint be registered. In order to be registered his qualification must, on the last day of July iu the year of such registra tion, be absolute and complete; so that if such day were the day of election, and this Act had not been passed, he would then be qualified to vote : He must have resided in the place for which he votes, or within seven miles thereof, six calendar months next previous to the 31st July in the year of registration. 4. The Right of Voting by reason of Inhabitancy. —There remains one other class of electors—those having a right to vote by reason of inhabitancy. The right of such voters is reserved to those per sons who were actually in possession of the fran chise at the time of the passing of this Act. But the right thus reserved is strictly confined to the person of the voter, and is to continue only so long as he shall remain qualified to vote according to the usage of the place for which he votes. The quali fication, therefore, once ceasing, the right is for ever gone. The exercise of the right hereby reserved is to depend on the following conditions:— The voter must be registered, and if omitted from the register for two' successive years, loses the right of voting :altogether, unless such omission have taken place in consequence of his having received parochiatrelief, or on account of absence on service with thermy or navy. In order to be registered, the voter must, on the last day of July in any year, be qualified in such manner, that if that day were the day of election, he would then be entitled to vote. He must have resided six calendar months in the place for which he votes, or within seven statute miles thereof. As to the residence, see ante, sec. 27, n. Of the Nature of the Franchise.—The right of voting by reason of inhabitancy varies according to the usage of various places in which it exists. Electors by reason of inhabitancy are pot wailers— inhabitant householders—inhabitants paying scot and lot—inhabitants generally. Potwallcrs.—A pot wailer is a person who fur nishes his own diet. The right of such a voter may be restricted to housekeepers, Honiton, 3 Luders, 159; or it may extend to lodgers as well as house keepers ; Taunton, 1, Doug. 370. Householders.—•ln order to be qualified as a householder, it is necessary that the voter should have the control of the outer door. 2 Peck. 244. Inhabitants paying Scot and Lot.—To be quali fied by reason of such inhabitancy, it is necessary, first, that the voter be assessed to the poor- rate; secondly, that he shall have paid the rate. Where there is no existing poor-rate at the time, assess ment to the church-rate will suffice. Garb. and D. 134. It will be immaterial that the rate has been made by officers illegally appointed, 1 Doug. 129 ; or that the rate itself is informal, or invalid, if it has not been appealed against, 1 Peck. 394. Inhabitants generally.—The right of voting by reason of inhabitancy, independently of any super added qualification, is extremely limited. The ex istence of such a right at all has been questioned, but it has been recognized in the cases of Preston and Tregony. The latter• place is now disfranchised. 5. Of the Duties of Overseers in respect of Li,ls rf Voters for Cities and Boroughs.—The duties of overseers for any parish or township, either wholly or in part in any city or borough, or any place shar ing in the election of any city or borough, are as follows : They are to make out on or before the 31st of July in each year an alphabetical list, according to form 1, schedule 1, of all persons entitled to vote for the city or borough in which their parish or township is situate, in respect of the occupation of any premises of the yearly value of 101. as provided in sect. 27. To make another alphabetical list, according to form 2, schedule 1, of all other persons, except freemen, entitled to vote for the city or borough in which their parish or township is situate, in virtue of any right whatsoever other than that arising from the occupation of any premises of the yearly value of 10/. To write in such lists the christian and sur names of every person at full length, together with the nature of his qualification. And where any person is entitled to vote in respect of property, the overseers are to insert in their list the name of the street, lane, &c. in which such property is situated. And where any person is entitled to vote other• wise than in respect of property, the overseers are to specify the street or lane, or some other descrip tion of such voter's abode. The overseers are to sign both these lists; to have a sufficient number of copies of them printed, and to fix them on or near all the church or chapel doors in the parish or township in some public conspicu ous place, on th e t wo S un d ays next a f ter suc h lists shall have been made. They are to keep true copies of such lists, to be inspected by any person without payment of fee, at all reasonable hours during the two first weeks after such lists shall have been made. Any place, extra-parochial, or having no over seers, situate within any city or borough, or within a ny place sharing in the electioti of any city or bo rough, is, for the purpose of making out the list of voters, to be considered within the adjoining parish or township, wholly or in part within such city or borough, or within such place sharing in the elec tion for such city or borough. And if such place adjoin two or more parishes or townships wholly or in part within the city or bo rough, such place shall be considered to belong to the least populous of those parishes or townships, according to the last census taken of them. The overseers, therefore, of every such adjoin ing parish or township, are to do in respect of such places all acts which by this statute they are called upon to do in respect of their own parishes or town ships. The notice to be given by the overseers to voters for counties, and the notice of such claims required to be sent by the overseers, are neither of them re quired by t h at part o f t h e A ct w hi c h re f ers to the registratio n of voters for cities and boroughs. But any voter omitted in the overseers' list, and claiming to have his name inserted as entitled un der this Act, on the 31st of July last preceding, is , o give on before the 25th of August in each year, i notice in writing (according to form 4, ached. 1.) to the overseers of the parish or township in respect of which he claims to vote. Any person whose name is on the list may object to the name of any person as not entitled to vote. Such objection must be in writing (according to form 5, sched. 1.), and sent to the overseers on or before the 25th of August in each year. Overseers are to make out a list (according to form 6, sched. 1) of persons so claiming to vote, tnd a list (according to form 7, sched. 1.) of per sons so objected to. They are to fix these lists on the doors of all churches and chapels, and if there be no churches or chapels, in some public and conspicuous place, on the two Sundays next preceding the 15th of Sep tember in each year. They are to keep a copy of such lists, to be in 'pected without fee by any person, and to provide copies for sale on paymeut of one shilling each. They are to attend at the first court of the bar rister appointed to revise the list of voters, and to produce their list before him, and a copy of the list of persons claiming and objected to, and to an swer upon oath any questions put to them by such barrister on matters connected therewith. The duty of registering freemen in cities and bo roughs is imposed on the town clerk, or if there be no town clerk, or he be dead, or incapable of act ing, on the person executing duties similar to those of the town clerk, or there be no such person, by the chief civil officer of the place. The officer is to make a list of such freemen (ac cording to form 3, in schtd. 1.) on or before the 31st July in every year, to fix a copy of such list on the door of the town-hall, or in some conspicuous situa tion two Sundays next after such list shall have been made, and to keep a copy, to be perused, without fee, at all reasonable hours during the first two weeks after the making of such lists. Any freeman omitted in the list, and claiming to be inserted, is to give notice in writing to the town clerk (according to form 4, in ached. I,) on or be fore 25th August in every year. Any person inserted in the list of freemen may object to any other person as not enti tled, by giving a notice in writing (according to form 3, in ached, 1.); and the town clerk is to make a list of all persons so claiming (according to form 8, in ached. 1.), and another of the persons so objected to (according to the form 9 in the ached. I); and shall fix copies of such lists on the door of the town-hall, or other conspicuous public place, two Sundays next before 15th September in each year. And the town clerk is to keep a copy of such lists for perusal at all reasonable hours without a fee, for ten days before the 15th September in each year, and is to provide copies for sale on payment of one shilling each. The town clerk is to attend the first court of the revising barrister, to produce like list of freemen, and copies of the lists of all persons claiming and objected to, and is to answer upon oath any question put to him by the barrister respecting matters con nected therewith.

NAVY CONTRACTS.-Yesterday the Commissioners of the Navy took contracts for Rum, Sugar, and other ar ticles for the use of the Navy. The quantity of Rum required by Government was 100,000 gallons, and much competition was evinced by the trade to obtain the con tract. The terms of the contract were different to those usually adhered to, viz., the payment being made by the Commissioners in cash, without any discount. After the tenders put in had been opened, the contract was concluded with, it is understood, two houses, at a price equal to Is. 6id. and Is. 6id. per gallon. This, considering the state of the market, and the terms, is considered an advantageous bargain for the sellers. The last Government contract for Rum I,y the Navy Board was for 100,000 gallons, at the low price of Is. 4 d. per gal lon. The contracts for Sugar, &c., were taken yesterday on favourable terms. TEA DECLARATION.—The East India Company have issued their declaration for the September sale, and amounts to 8 ,400,000 lbs. Of Boheas there is not less than 2,000,0 0 0 lbs. ; of Congous,Campoi, &c. 5,000,000145. ; of Twankay and Hyson Skin 1,100,000 lbs., and of Hy so❑ 300,000 lbs. The quantity declared is the same as last sale. Boheas are lower other sorts firm.

The SPEAKER took his seat at Four o'clock, but in consequence of Mr. ROBINSON having give❑ notice that, prior to proceeding with his motion regarding the Russo- Dutch Loan, he would move a call of the House, the gal lery was not opened at the usual hour. During the titre grangers were excluded, several petitions were presented, but we could not learn upon what subjects. Mr. ROBINSON then moved that the House be calltd over. Sir C. FORBES seconded the motion. Lord ALTHORP, Mr. J. S3IITII, and others, opposed he motion, which, from the very full attendance of Mtm hers, they conceived to be unnecessary. The House then divided, when there appeared : For the Motion Against it 146 Majority against the Motion The gallery was then (at nearly hall-past five o'clock) opened. • Mr. EASTHOPE said, in deference to what he believed were the wishes of the House, he would consent to postpone his motion for certain Bank returns if the Noble Lord (Althorp) would promise him some early day on which he could make a statement of facts that had reference to his motion. Lord ALTHORP suggested Thursday, the 26th inst. Mr. EASTHOPE postponed his motion until that day. Mr. PORTMAN moved for copies of all official com munications between the authorities of Guernsey and his Majesty's Government, relative to the detention of John Capes on that island.—Ordered. Mr. WYSE postponed his motion relative to an inquiry into the Diocesan and similar public foundation schools in Ireland until the 19th inst. RUSSO-DUTCH LOAN. Lord ALTHORP was anxious to draw the attention of the House to a treaty which bad been laid on the table, and it appeared to him that he should best consult the con venience of Members by making a statement to the House prior to moving that the House resolve itself into a Committee upon the subject—first of the grounds which induced his Majesty's Government to think they were bound to enter into this treaty, and se condly, the grounds on which he hoped the House would think Government were justified in making it. The House was aware that in 1815 a treaty was made between the Netherlands, Russia, and England, that the King of the Netherlands and the King of Great Britain should take on themselves the payment of a certain portion of a loan due to Russia. It was not at the present time ne cessary for him to enter into the question whether the original agreement was right or strong ; it was sufficient for the House to consider whether that treaty was binding on England in equity and in honour. It was not necessary for him to read the treaty, for there was no dispute about the words of it, but it was to the effect that Great Britain and the Netherlands should continue to pay the interest of the loan at 5 per cent., with a sinking fund of 1 per cent. until the whole of the loan was extin guished ; but that in case of the separation of Belgium from Holland, then the obligation on Great Britain and the Netherlands should cease. (Hear, hear.) The question then was as to the letter of the treaty. The separation had certainly taken place, and the question was, whether that separation was such a one as was contemplated by the treaty, and whether, in consequence of that separation this country was absolved in honour, equity, and justice, from the performance of the treaty. It appeared to him (Lord Althorp) that the separation contemplated by , the treaty was a separation by the interference of foreign force. That supposition was confirmed by the words of the Secret Article laid on the table. Nov, what was the state with respect to the separation ? The object was to induce Russia not to be a party to any such separation, and to make it her interest to resist that separation which had taken place with the concurrence of this country and Russia, who had agreed to the separation in consequence of the wishes of this country. Could it then be said, if a party engaged to make a payment on a certain condi tion, and that condition, through the instrumentality of the parties making the payment, is broken, it was con sistent with honour and justice for the party at whose suggestion it was not fulfilled, to turn round on the party so fulfilling, and say they should hold them to the strict letter of the contract, on which they were to stand ? Such a proceeding was contrary to every principle of ho nesty and honour. It would be most disgraceful to the parties to it, and he (Lord A.) could not see how it was possible for Hon. Members to take a different view of the subject. This being the view he took of the case, he thought that in equity and justice, his Majesty continued to be hound to make the payment to Russia. But the cir cumstances had changed technically, and although his Ma jesty was bound in honour and equity to make the payment, it was necessary to make an alteration in the literal word ing of the treaty, in order to meet those different cir cumstances. But that alteration did not make any va riation iu the equity of the case, or in the substance of the engagement. Such wasthe view with which the treaty was entered into. That treaty bore date immediately after the treaty was signed in London, which treaty recognized the separation between Belgium and Holland. He need not tell the House, that no treaty came into operation until the period of its ratification, until N ovem th b e er t ' rea th ty e ' t a r n e d a t y t h‘evrde:Ur signed,e al h i o t u e g o h . lodn not t h ebei6 ratifiedt h of on which it depended was also ratified and enforced. The separation, therefore, could not be considered complete. Russia d:d not acknowledge the separation until she had ratified the treaty between the Five Great Powers, and it was not till that treaty was ratified, she could be considered as having acquiesced in the separation. The ratifications were not exchanged until June, and as soon as that event took place, Government hid the treaty on the table, and in consequence of that it was that he now cam, to the House, in order to ask it to enable Government to perform its engagements. He was aware that from the observations made on a former night, it might be said that at the time the discussion took place on this question, the separation between Belgium and Holland had not been at all acknowledged, and it was for that very reason that he had entered into the statements he bad done, and had stated that it was not complete until the other powers had ratified. That took place not long after the debate to which he had al luded. What weight the arguments of the Right Hon. Gent. who bad given notice of a motion for to-night, might have, he would not pretend to say. He had stated all the cir cumstances, and must confess, that he felt great difficulty in being aware on what grounds any gentleman wishing to to support the national faith—(Cheers)—could object to enable Government to act on the treaty. He did not apprehend that any Gentleman would stand up and say that according to the literal words of the treaty, this country was not bound to make the payment, and there fore ought not to do it. Neither did he suppose it would be said that in order to get rid of our engagement, the national honour was to be sacrificed.—(Cheers.) It was difficult for him to argue the question. No doubt the Hon. and Learned Gentleman might take a more legal view of the subject than he could, but he must say, if he looked at it in a statesmanlike point of view, or as a subject affecting the honour of the -country, he did not think that he or any other Member would argue that the country would not be guilty of a great breach of faith to Russia, if it did not make the payment,—(Hear, hear,)—the steps which Russia had taken on the subject, being in accordance with the wish of this country. Such were the grounds on which he hoped the House would agree to the motion, and authorize Government to perform the con tract into which they had advised his Majesty to enter. A Right Hon. Gentleman opposite had given notice of a renewal of a motion which he had formerly made.— He (LordA. ) believed the best way to act with regard to that notice would be not to enter into the discussion of it, until the Right Hon. Gentleman bad made his state ment.—(Hear.) He would therefore not go into th-- question whether the treaty was to be considered as agreed to, or whether the Government was at all justified in making the payments which they did on Christmas last. Those two cases storm on very different grounds, and on that account he was most anxious at the present time, fur the I honour of the country and Government, that the House should authorize them to fulfil the conditions of that treaty.—( Hear.) lie felt more anxious on that subjec' than he did with respect to the vote of censure the Right lion. Gentleman had given notice of. Because though that might be the means of destroying the Government eself, the refusal of the House to agree to thi provisions of the Treaty would not only destroy the ivernrnent, A be e most7injtfrtfus tot,' ' , lour and the national i n t egr itj JO' ttla;4 0,- hit the Sp ea k er d o leave Alin-iPiair,t'‘lfild ri rouse resolve itself into a C om be-on ; the Ilan o. would not enter farther into e4tieation ally oard wh-it the Right Hon. Gent ehain-had• l Mr. HERRIES wou ld f o ll ow the example he Noble Lord, in the distinction which he had drawn .r . ween the two parts of the subject. He quite conceived with the Noble Lord that it was proper to keep those two views of the subject entirely distinct. He would, therefore, address himself at once to that part of he question which in his judgment appeared to stand first it order. Before he would proceed to lay before the 'louse these reasons which he intended to offer to them, n orderto make them concur with him in adopting tbosi resolutions which he intended to submit as an mendment to the motion of the Noble Lord, he must express his astonishment that in the speech made iv that Noble Lord, he had entirely omitted hose reasons upon the subject to which that House vas entitled. In his (Mr. IL's) opinion, it was the luty of the Noble Lord opposite to have come . Orward and to have given to the House •pontaneously those authorities and accounts which the "hole country must feel it was his duty to do. ()fear, hear, bear.) He considered it most singular tod unprecedented for the Noble Lord to come down to that House with a motion of such great importance without ✓iving those explanations to which they were entitled, of :hose discrepancies which appeared in the conduct of Go , vernment on that occa•ion. They had dismissed that inestion before with great solemnity ; they had then .liscussed it without those documents now before them, Nhich documents now showed to them that tile decision they had come to was an erroneous one.--( Hear, hear.) ft had struck every individual who had seen the documents with the greatest surprise that the Noble Len' had thought it proper to pa's so lightly over the subject, without once even touching upon those discrepancies which were so glaring. The course Le was rimy pursuing was not a mere frivolous opening up of the question. They had now before their view' matter in much more information on the subject than they formerly had. It was entirely upon constitutional grounds, and for 'lie character of that House, that he felt it his duty to bring forward the resolutions he intended to move, and not from any party motives. On Jan. 26th, this question was discussed in that House. The qua stion was as to the legality of the payments made by GOVCCIIIII , nt on account of the Russo Dutch Loan. On that ocaasion 219 members of the House were against the decision which was then come te. The first document that he would bring to the notice of the House, was a treaty between England and Holland of the 13th of August, 1814, It related to a final settlement of accounts between the countries. It was to declare that certain colonies—the Cape, Demerara, Surinam—should pass under the domi nion of Great Britain, and it secured the incorperation of Belgium with Holland, to effect the which Great Bri tain consented to three several pecuniary sacrifices.—let. The payment of one million for Demerara. 2d. Puri imssu, with Holland, to advance two millions on either side for the fortification of the Netherlands. 2d. To en ter into a specific engagement to secure the incorporation sf Holland and Belgium under the Government of the King of Holland ; and, for the purpose of securing this, to bear equally with Holland such further charges as were agreed dpon towards the final and satisfactory arrangement under he King of Holland, not exceeding three millions. It :vas, therefore, an agreement for the payment of certain ums for a specific object. The next treaty was between Holland and Russia, originally as principals in the trans ictions, and Great Britain. And Holland, in executing ,his treaty, called on England, by virtue of former agree ment, to become a party with Holland in executing this rents, and so joining in the payment to Russia of the •urna due from Holland in consideration of the engagements .trade by Holland with Russia. Thus, to repay a debt contracted for a specific purpose, Holland transferred her Wit from England to Russia. The House, therefore, un less they considered this specific purpose and this contract, could nut have a clear view of the engagements entered nto with Russia. And in this engagement, not content to limit the purposes to which the money might be applied they had gone so far as to declare the uses to which it aright not be applied. And this they made more distinct , y two additional articles, called the secret articles, al though all reason for secrecy had ceased. The Noble Lord re tied upon them as justifying his view of the case; and this he roes by taking an interpretation of them in which the tertian could never bear him out. The first article provided, that in the event of the Belgian provinces passing from the do minion of the King of Holland, the charge on Great Britain should cease; and the second it was that supposed th e occupation of an enemy for a time, and provided that after his departure the old arrangements should take effect. _[llene the Hon. Gentleman read extracts from the articles in question.l Now, certainly, he thought the Noble Lord called for too much when he asked the House o interpret these articles contrary to their distinct and ob• vious meaning. In proof of this lie would quote a canon from the " Law of Nations," which adverted to such in terpretations as the Noble Lord would fain affix to such simple passages. Vattel, in speaking of the interpreta ions of treaties, commenced with this great and funda mental maxim : —The first general maxim of interpre tation is, that it is not permitted to interpret what had no need of interpretation. When an act is conceived in clear and precise terms—when the sense is mani fest and leads to nothing absurd, there can be no reason to refuse the sense which this treaty naturally presents. To go elsewhere in search of conjectures, in artier to restrain or extinguish it, is to endeavour to elude it. If this dangerous method be once ad mitted, there will be no Act which it will not render useless. Let the brightest light shine on all the parts of a piece, let it be expressed in terms the most clear and determinate: all this shall be of no use, if it be allowed to search for foreign reasons in order to maintain what cannot be formed in the sense it naturally presents." The Hon. Gentleman then quoted a passage from Grotius to the same effect, and proceeded to say that the treaty under consideration was so distinctly and plainly worded —its intent so clear—that it was idle for the Treasury or the Government to attempt to give it a new interpretation. They never could dispute that the separation between Belgium and Holland had taken place. They had referred the question to the Law Officers of the Crown, and they said the separation was complete; but that neverthless the Government was justified in executing the treaty as if the tre it had not taken place. It is unnecessary (continued the Right Hon. Gentleman) that I should remind the House that the Minirters, throughout the late debate on tnis subject, maintained their position on this distinct ad mission—that the separation between the two countries had taken place. It is true that there was one tendency to a difference of opinion on that occasion ; but it seemed only to be thrown out as a sort of makeweight, and was accompanied with a distinct statement, that it was not thereby intended to dissent from the general proposition which I have just mentioned. The order in which the occurrences took place, upon which I found the motion I am about to make, is this:—ln July, 1831, the Law Officers of the Crown were called on to state their first "pinion, whether, the separation between Belgium and Holland being completed, the Treasury was armed with power to issue a sum of money on account of :he Russian Dutch Loan? And the law officers gave it as their opinion, that the Treasury did possess such power. We have, however, recently learned, by a docu ment which has been laid on the table of the House, that for months after the expression of that opinion, and when the period for another payment was not far distant, a new convention was signed between Great Britain and Russia. I beg particularly to call the attention of the House to the preamble of that convention. It states—" Their Majes ties the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and the Emperor of all the Russias, considering that the events which have occurred in the United King. dom of the Netherlands since 1830 have rendered it ne cessary that the Courts of Great Britain and Russia should examine the stipulations of their convention of the 19th of May, 1815, as well as of the additional article annexed thereto;—Considering that such examination has led the two high contracting parties to the conclusion, that com plete agreement does not exist between the letter and the pint of that convention, when regarded in connexion .with the circumstances which have attended the separa tion that has taken place between the two principal divi sions of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands." Tee document then proceeds to rec it e sth e o bject of the conven . _ tion ; but I shall avoid that part of the subject now, because on that rests the chief merit of the convention ; ind I mean boldly and at once to assert, that the document does not contain a true averment of that merit,—(Cheers.) file first article of the convention then goes on to state, "In virtue of the consideration above specified, his Bri tannic Majesty engages to recommend to his Parliament to nable him to undertake to continue, on his part, the ~yments stipulated in the convention of the 19th May, accordin4 to the mode and until the completion of sum fixed for Great Britain in the said convention." l'he Noble Lord, in his speeds this evening, laid so.He em ,,hasis on the argument, that the convention was nothing :ill it was ratified by both parties. Though nut so learth.ii i i these things as the Noble Lord, I ATI iwite aware that tie stipulations of a convention are nut effective till (lie nvention is ratified ; but I also know that the truths on ,vllich a treaty in its preamble affects to set out ott B ht to CORN EXCHANGE. This week the arrivals of Grain are tolerably good, and the weather been particularly favourable for the crops, the trade for most articles continues extremely dull.
