He was re peatelly interrupted by the right side, and twice called to order by the President ; but ,still persisting in his line of • argument, he was sienced for the rest of the Sitting by the Hous: voting the standing order of 1820, which interacts a member from speaking further on the same object who persists in deviating from, the queston, after having been twice called to order by tie President. M.Manual descended from the tribute, and the third chapter was adopted. = The Keeper of the Seals then presented the law m the Press, as amended in . Article It. by the, ntroduction of the word " Constitutiona4" . by tie Peers, and signified his MAJtsTy's ap provzi of the amendment. A warm debate arose ; the Members on the left insisting that the amend ment rendered it necessary that the whole law should be again referred to the, Bureaux, anti he right side contending that the amended article alone should be re-committed. The latte! opinion was sanctioned by the ma jorit:, and the House then adjourned. On Thu!sday the ,discussion on . the Budget was resumed, and was marked by the same person alities, charges, and recriminations, in which the two contending parties so frequently indulge.

The proceedings in the Spanish Cortes are interesting, as they shew the moderation, regularity, independence, and atten tion to the public interest, which actuate that Assembly. " A vessel is arrived at Liverpool from Balti more, which brings the following intelligence : tExtract of a Letter from a Baltimore Paper of the 21st Feb.] " Captain DAVIS, of the ship FREDERICK, who sailed from Havre on the 18th ult. is bearer of dispatches from the Ame rican Legation at Paris to our Government. Captain DAVIS informs that there is no truth in the report of a commercial ar rangement having taken place between the United States and France." _ _ _ - . " Baltimore Telegraph, February 21. ANOTHEit. FLOOD.—The immense quantities of rain which fell in the course of yesterday and last night; together with the melting of the snow which had previously ` fallen, caused another overflow of Juno's Falls ; before day-light, the alarniWas given, and the waters rose from that time until about nine o'clock, when they commenced falling. It is impossible to form an exact idea of the damage done at this town ; all the cel lars and floors in the vicinity of the falls were overflowed, and much injury has been done." COMMERCIAL.—In consequence of suggestions in various forms, that there were strong grounds to believe that the Bri tish Government would, in a short time, relax their regulations and restrictions of the trade of their West India colonies with this country, application has been made to the representative of that Government here, for information on this subject, and we have been favoured with the sight of his answer, which is— That he has received no intimation whatever of any'contem plated change of measures on the part of Great Britain. This information is given solely for the.purpose of removing a mis taken expectation of such a change, lest the indulgence of it might prove prejudicialto public and private interests." The Address of Sir THOMAS MAITLAND to the ParliaMent of the lonian Isles enables us to form a very distinct idea of the character of his GovtiTnment and of the condition of the States under the administration of his Excellency.— While we regret that his Excellency should have thought it necessary to resort to the severe mea= sure ,of disarming the people, and proclaiming Martial Law in the Islands, we arc ready to ad mit that, as it was and is the policy of the lonian Government to preserve the strictest neu trality in the contest between the Greeks and their Turkish oppressors, and as the lonians ge nerally had manifested not only a strong dis position to aid their fellow-Greeks on the Continent, but a spirit of impatience and insubordination under the restraints imposed upon them by their own constituted authorities, the strong measures resorted to by the Lord High Commissioner were well calculated, and ,perhaps indispensably necessary, to prevent the intentions of the Government from being openly and its authority set at defiance.—Our •sentiments and wishes in favour of the Continental Greeks are so well known, that it is almost un necessary for us to state that we would rather see the lonians encouraged than prevented from gi. , Virig all the aid in their power to their heroic -countrymen in the arduous struggle fogy indepen deuce with their barbarian masters. But, the po licy of the lonian Government being founded upon ,different views, candour obliges us to acknowledge :that the Measures adopted by Sir 'F. MAITLAND -were perhaps called for by the circumstances of `hiS situation. The operation of Martial Law, it appears, was to be suspended soon after the assembly of the Legislative Body ; and licenses .to carry arms were to be issued to many of the people. ItterAND.—There are no fresh details of 'atro cities this morning, except of one, we regret to say, on the part of the military. It , appears that ,a small party of the Rifle Brigade, who had `brought some prisoners from Skibbereen to Ross caberry,,having got intoxicated before their re tun, shelved a dispositiOn to make an improper ruse of their arms on their march. Near Ross, -they shot a pig belonging to a poor peasant, and -so terrified the. passengers, that several Gentle men were induced to quit the high road, and Make the best of their way through the fields. At Barley Hill, .they took a boy from a ,cabin, and marched, him• before them as a prisoner, one of the soldiers keeping his piece cocked and presented in the direction of the boy's back. The family of the poor felloW being greatly salarmed for his afety, his sister followed along . the fields, to watch the treatment of her brother; aad on being observed by the soldiers, one' of tiem loitered, and called to her to come out of tie field to him for an immoral purpose. On the terrified girl running away, the ruffian fired at her, the ball breaking her thigh hone, near the lip.—At the Cork Special Sessions, on Wednes city, Richard Curran was convicted under the lisurrection Act of being absent from his, dwel litg.—A few nights since, the military of News mtrket, Millstreet, and Kanturk, having formed a junction, proceeded to. the mountains, and bOught in upwards of fifty prisoners, fourteen of „Wpm were detained on charges under the Insur- rection Act.—A meeting of the Nobility, Clergy, arid Gentry, of the County of Tipperary, held at Clonmel, on the 16th instant, unanimously voted an Address of Congratulation to the Marquis WELLES LEY. The following article appeared in The British Monitor of yesterday, and as the Editor ex presses a belief in its accuracy, the information which it contains is of -very great importance in the present state of our foreign Relations cc IMPORTANT TREATY BETWEEN THIS COUNTRY AND DENMARK. " It is confidently stated in the higher political circleS, that a Treaty has been, or is about to be, concluded between this country and Denmark, by which the important fortress of the Sound is to garrisoned by British troops, as soon as the first gun shall be fired by Russia against Turkey ! If this account be correct, and of which we have no doubt, although we did not obtain it direct from an official source, it is of the highest importance, as Russia and her Allies, the Prussians, will be thus prevented from sending even a boat through the. Sound. This Treaty adds much credit to the diplomatic talents of our Noble Secretary for Foreign Affairs ; and may account for our sending the Order of the Garter to the King of Denmark. BRITISH NORTH AMERICA. HOUSE OF COMMONS. • lifereuriii 20" die Marta, 1822. A Petition of the Merchants, Ship-owners, and others, inte rested in the Trade of Canada, resident in GLASOQW, was presented, and read ; setting, forth, That the provinces of Canada have hitherto afforded an extensive market for British manufactures and West India produce .;' that their Means of paying for such merchandize consist of the indigenous produce, and the grain and flour of the country ; that the two provinces i . are at the present time largel indebted to the United King dom ; that grievous and im olitic restrictions oppress' their agriculture, and interfere wit their trade, thereby preventing not only the Canadian debtors from keeping faith with their creditors in the United Kingdom, but also reducing the inha bitants in general to a state of great distress ; that the Peti tioners, from the nature of their connection with the Canadas; largely participate in the effects of these grievous and impolitic restrictions, and the Canadian correspondents of the Petitioners have strongly impressed upon them, that in the present state of affairs they cannot receive payment of the debts due to them by the,growers of the produce, and in consequence are not in a condition to make remittances on account of the debts which they owe in this country ; the Petitioners, therefore, entreat the House to take their distress early into consideration, and to grant to them such relief as in their wisdom the urgency and hardships of the case may be found to require.

On Thursday the free-trader Orpheus, Captain FINLAY, passed Portsmouth for the River— from the Mauritius 13th of December s the Cape the 14th, and St. Helena the 29th of January.— The. cholera morbus had nearly disappeared in India, as well as at the Mauritius, where it had destroyed upwards of ten thousand of the slave population. At the Mattrititis, the attention to .the growth of the sugar-cane and manufacture of sugar, has been, and continues to be, increasing. The paper currency of that island was very much depreciated, the dollar notes being at the rate of 140 for 100 Spanish dollars. At the Cape every thing was dear. There had .been no rain the two last seasons, and in consequence the crops nearly failed. Many of the numerous settlers would have starved but for the Government rations.— The Cape was healthy.—At St. Helena, the em bargo being removed. (by the death of BUONA , . , PARTE), all vessels put in there, but the island was very dull. Indiamen were daily expected to call, to take the 20th regiment on to Bombay, to relieve the 47th regiment. A standing guard Of one Lieutenant and 15 rank and file is kept on duty over BUONAPARTE'S tomb, and an officer's guard , at Longwood, which place cannot be vi sited but by a written permission of G6ve..nment. Neither the old nor new building at Laagwood is inhabited ; it Was not deter Mined what was to be 'done with them.—The Mulgrave Castle was expected to leave the Mauritius on the 21st December for London.

During the dinner Mr. Clark, the Piper, and Gow's excel lent band, alternately entertained the company with many most admirable national melodies, and as soon as the cloth was re moved, the Duke of Argyle proposed " The King, the Chief of the Highlands," which was drank with four times four, amidst the most enthusiastic demonstrations of loyalty and attachment. "The Duke of York and Albany," " he Royal Family," " The Duke of Clarence and the Navy," followed. The next toast, which was naturally received with the wannest emotions, was "The memory of Sir Ralph Abercrombie," which was drank in solemn silence ; after which the Duke of Argyle arose, and proposed the health of Lieut.-Gen. Sir Tho mas.Hislop, a Member of the Society, whom he said it must be most gratifying to them to see once more amongst them. This toast (was drank with the greatest applause. -The health of Lord Gwydir was then given, in proposing which the Duke of Argyle alluded to several circumstances which entitle his Lordship to the gratitude of every man interested in the Highlands of Scotland, and particularly the great attention which his Lordship had invariably paid to the com fort and accommodation of the tenantry on his estates, which had induced many Highlanders to remain amongst their native hills, vitro must otherwise have emigrated to foreign countries. This toast was drank with great enthusiasm, after which Lord Gwydir arose and acknowledged the gratifying compliment which had been paid to him. • He said it was highly flattering to be acknowledged by the Meeting as an Highlander, and that since they had.been pleased to adopt him, he hoped that should any of them visit the Highlands, they would not forget that he Inhabited that country. • Mr. Gow and Mr. Clark, the pipers, were then introduced to the'President, for the purpose of being presented with the me dals which had been voted to them by the Society as a reward for their long services, and in testimony of the high gratifica tion which the Members had derived from their musical ta lents. The Dike addressed them severally, and congratulated them on the honour which they had received, and' said that it was extremely pleasing to him to be the medium of conferring it upon them. _.• "'Highlanders shoulder to shoulder." "The Edinburgh Hih land Society," and many other toasts followed, between which several members of the Corporation and visitors favoured the company with many delightful airs, and it was ,a late hour be fore the President left the Chair, hen the company separated, highly gratified with the evening's entertainment. Lord GWYDIR and Lord CAWDOR were unanimously elected members of the Corporation at this meeting. COBBETT'S IMPARTIALITY.

Nothing further transpired to corroborate the sus picions which had led to the apprehension of the parties in custody. 51r. MINSIIULI. asked Askew if he wished to say any thing ? Askew—" I have only this to say, Sir, that I am perfectly innocent of this dreadful crime. I never was a thief or a mur derer, though I have been very poor. I have been in my master's house, where there has been a thousand pounds worth of property, and never touched a thing." Mr. Gou , r b 9 li his former employer, said he believed him to be a very honest man. Alf ihCTprisoner; were then brought in, and Mr. Mims,xurit. addressing them, said he wished he could consistently with his duty discharge them, but at present he could not. A most horrid and barbarous murder had been committed, and it was absolutely necessary for the public safety that the investigntioa should be conducted with extreme vigilance, and even perhaps with some degree of severity to the persons accused. He must keep them, therefore, for the present, hut he would endeavour to free them as much as possible from personal inconvenience or suffering. T o x-Gann El; .—At eleven o'clock on Saturday forenotin William Gregory was put publicly to the bar, for the purpose of his being identified, if possible, by Mrs. Robinson, who had observed a man loitering about Mrs. Ponatty's door the night of the murder. 'Mrs. Robinson could not say that the prisoner was the, individual, and his further examination was not entered into until half-past two o'clock. , At that hour Mr. Commons, of the public-house next door to that of the deceased, and other witnesses, were ,examined as to the prisoner's being the .individual seen in Robert-stieet, but none of them could speak to his person.—Mary and Elizabeth Brown were also examined, and witnesses brought forward re specting them, but nothing of a criminal nature appeared to' be made out against them ; and as thelthree prisoners most satis factorily accounted for themselves during the night upon which Mrs. Donatty was Murdered, they were discharged before eight o'clock.

EXECUTION.—(WI NCHESTER, MARCH 23. )--Thir morn .ing (Saturday) Charles Smith, aged twenty-nine, 'Was exe cuted in this city for feloniously shooting at R: Siielgrove, gamekeeper to Lord Palmerston. Great exertions were made to procure a" remission of the sentence, but' the unfor tunate than himself entertained no hope of mercy after the Judge left the town. Prom this time his thoughts seemed to be withdrawn from the present world, and his whole at.. tention directed to the future. The value of early religious principles was never more evident than in the case of Smith, which,' however, they ' "may have been stifled for a time, seemed to recur with increased force to render his sorrow deeper, and his repentance more sincere. Seldom has been witnessed more apparently genuine self-abasement, ac companied with a firm but unpresumptuous confidence in the mercy of God through the merits of our Redeemer. The' sins which he most lamented, and to which in a great measure he attributed his melancholy end, were disobedience to parents and Sabbath breaking. " Oh ! Sir," hams frequently said, (we understand, to the Reverend J. O. Zillwoad, the excellent Chaplain of the Prison) with streaming eyes, " my poor old mother always told me what the end would be ; I then thought little of her advice, but now, - 1..-hen it is too late, I feel the force of it." Like Turner, who suffered on the 11th, inst. he acknowledged the justness of the remarks made by the Learned Judge in passing sentence, and declared that poaching led to every species of crime. It is hoped that the lamentable el fects of poaching, which the inhabitants of this county have lately witnessed in the execution of two men, , and the transpor tation of five others, will prove a salutary check to the de stroyers and purchasers of game, since they who encourage others in the commission of crime must largely participate its guilt. .
