The Editoi of the Anti: G a ilican professes to have taltcti this vet y interesting piece of intelligence from a Pamph let published, but soon suppressed i n Paris, entitled, The Coalition and Fra ," and may be conceived to defend the demand by a quotation from VATTveL, th e ten d enc y of which is to slicw, that when one Government borrows money from another for the servi ce of the State, even if there should be a change in the person who exercises the supreme mtithority, the borrowing Government must be re sponsible for the pecuniary obligation. But surely the Editor of the Anti-Gallivan ought to have bett er authority than an anonymous . pamphlet for rt tact of such importance, before he resorts to at , y write r on the Law of Nations, to justify the de m in question. The fact, it well-fonruied, would at the present moment be highly embarras sing to France, and might lead to consequences interesting to all Europe, 'honk' the demand be ripmuisly enforced.

AN )1.:1) PROPRIETOR. SPOtt GRAND CRICKET MATCH FOR. 500 GUINEAS. INOTTINGIIAM.• JUNE 27 The Grand Match at Cricket, :or five hundred Guineas rind not one thousand as. erroneously s,aten), between t wenty•two from the Notting ham Club, and eleven selected from all England. commenced 4111 M onday last, on , he Cricket Ground, near this town, and terminated on Wed nesday in tavour of the Nottingh•in Club, after as fine a display of skill in that !manly exercise as ever was oeseti in this part ot the.kingdom. such was the interest excited by the match, that the town was Jibed with strangers during the three days ; and not witbstan ling the almost in supportable heat of the weather, au immense crowd of spectators of all ranks and descriptions assembled on the ground each day. Previously to the stumps being put down, the general state of the betting was 3 to 2 against Nottingham ; and at the conel,sion of - the first day's play, as intiLli as 100 guineas to 20 were staked in favour itt a ll Fengland. On the second day bets changed 7 to 4 in favour ot Nottingham.—On the last day ' Lrrd Frederick Beaticlerk sustained a serious in jury, in having one of his fingers broken whilst endeavouring to stop. a ball ; and although his Lordship was completely disabled ot one arm, by this unt.rtunate accident, yet he persevered iu the contest with great spit it tti the last, having his ,irm ilk a sling, and using the bat with the other hamd with singular dexterity. Toe following is a statement of the game:— - NOTTINGHAM. ALL ENGLAND. First billings - - - 50 First Innings - ticcuud du. - Secoud du. - 53 - 65 Total 118 Total 148 Majtnity in favour of Nottingham 30. Much to ttie credit of the victors and the bye standers, the utmost decorum. was observed, and no nowarrantable exultation was indulged in at the close, calculated to wound the feelings of the losing party. We meation too, with plea sure, that Lord Frederick Beanelerk and the other Gentlemen expressed themselves perfectly satis fied at the pains taken to keep the ground clear of all obstructions. Atter the above match bad been decided, it was agreed by Mr. E. Brewster, of Radcliffe, on the part of the Nottingham Club, and Mr. Lambert, on the part of all England, that a second match, for 300 guineas, should be played between the same parties (Mr. Osbaldeston to take the innings of Lord Beauclerk, in addition to his own), to commence yesterday ; but in. consequence of some impropriety comiulted in wetting the ground, which was considered detrimental ta the Not tingham players, the match was declared off.

Mr. sIUAILT WORTLEY presented a Petition from George Ilenneker, Proprietor of the Duke of York Public House, High-street, Shadweli, complaining that his conduct had been grossly iniirepresented in the evidence taken by the Polite Committee, and praying that lie might be heard in his defence against the allegations, made against him in that. elialenee. r. LIENti sr r would say, that a more impudent attempt than this to mislead the public never was male by any indi vidual. He wonlit confidently refer to ;soy c4entlenian who hiiti at - Vended the , 'olice Committee, it the sirdoge , t aril most vuntmva‘ed evidence was not adduce" of the most thigrant unscrambles on the part of the l'entio..er. In 1813 his license was taken .way, on proofs of the grossest shiseohduct. His house uinteu in itself the double trade of brothel and low puLlic-house. He Itiiped the house was better conducted now ; but he knew that it was formerly very ill conducted. There did not exist a house which more imperiously called for the interference of the Magistrates than the one in question; and, had the licensing system been on a pro per footing, this man's license never would have been renewed. Mr. sruAnT WORTLEY stated that he knew nothing 'hilt respect to the truth or falsebcod of the allegations in the Petition. Mr. HENRY MARTIN said, he rose to move for' leave to bring in a Bill, to wine.l he did not anticipate any material opposition ; a Bill for the reculating the Office of Deputy Remembrancer . uf the Court of Mxchever, for the better securing the money, the property of the suitors in actions depending in the' Court of Exchequer, and for the ap- pi/ailment of an Accountant-General and two Masters ' in that Court. The business of Deputy Remembrancer of the Court of Exchequer was two-fold. Ile was en• trusted with all the money of the suitors, and he per formed all the bn mess corresponding with that of Master to Chancery, on the Equity side of the Court. The sums be longing to suitors heiu by this office was very great ; 'and he was removable at pleasure, ;Ind gave nu security for the mo ney so held by him. By a return made in June last, it ap peared that there was invested by the Deputy Retnembrancer a silos of 6a,7atil. iu the purchase of Exchequer Bilis, not by any order et the Court ; that is, this sum was employed for his own use. A sum of 15,0001. produced by small balances, Lead actually been laid out in mortga4e. 'l'he object of this Bid was to assimilate the whole of.the proceedings in the Court of Exchequer-wan respect to the Lumley of suituts to ' the proceecings in the Court of Chaineet y. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER agreed with the lion. and Learned Gentleman, that the suitors in the 1 Court of Exchequer were equally entitled to protection with the stilton in the Court of Chancery. To the principle of the Bill he could see no possihie Vsjeetion. Leave was given to bring to the Rill, winch was according ly immediately atterwards brought iii, reld a tit St time, and ordered to be read a second time to-morrow. • A lISTRIAN' EBT. HAMMERSLEY, seeing a 'Noble Lord (Castlereagh} in his place, wished to remind him of what had fallen from hia in the course of. last. year, with respect to the large:debt 4 upWards of 19 millions slue by AnStria tO this country.— The Noble Lord had then said that a time might come when a demand might be made on the Austrian Government for that sum. He wished to ask the Noble Lord if the time had yet collie ? He wished also to ask him whether he had had any communication with the Austrian Government on this important subject ? Lord CASTLEREAGH said, the lime • had not. yet come, and he was not prepared at present to give the Hon. Gentle man any information on the subject. Mr. BENN Err called the attention of the House to a case which he had brought before them some time ago.. =He ala hided to the Petition which he li%d presented trona the hus band of the woman who' 11:0 been so harbarously used by a Captain Robert. Hoy. That person was sentenced for his of fence to pay 'a fine, and t, be imprisoned 12 months in the Houseuf Correction, Coldhath-fields, but be had been set at liberty shortly after his imprisonment. On submitting the. ease to the House on a former occasion, it was objected that the House ought only - to interfere in cases where a remedy could not be obtained from a Court of Law. Since that period the parties had had recourse to a Court of Law, and it had been declared by the Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench, that in point of fact no relief could be obtained in this ease. In order to bring time subject under the consideration of Parliament, he should move, that there.be laid before the House a copy of the proceedings of the Qaarter Sessions and General Sessions of Oyer and Terminer for the County of Middlesex, touching the case of the King versus Robert Hoy. Mr. BENNETT stated, that from the advanced period of the Session, be was reluctantly obliged to move the postpone ment of the second reading of the Chimney Sweepers' Regu lation Bill to this day three months. SILVER COINAGE. Mr W. POLE moved that there he laid before the House an Account of the Expellees attending the late New Silver Coinage.

PETITION OF EVAN Si Mr. BaaHAth, on I i,111:4 to make his promi , rd mat ion on this Subject, begat) by declaring, that he hardly knew a wan aquinst ct libin to be.ir any kind of spleen or dl-wilt would be inure noinsti fitble or unjust than against the Noble Iteldtive of the Right Han. Gentleman opposite. l'he amiable character at the Noble Lord (Sill nouth) was, indeed, univer.“4ly adm;to d. • lie was not proMpted'to make tick motion by any party bias. It had happened to him to have a seat in that House for the long period of thirty years, and it, during a great portion of that long course of time, be had generally soppotted the. Inca:outs of %eminent, in now holding an opposite course e . • was actuated only by consLientious rectitude. if the subversion of all government, was but it nntlier• phrase for the subversion of all liberty, he ‘yaa sure that the subversion of liberty must end iu the subversion of all government ; and, therefore, by now supporting the hbet ties of the people, he was sure be should render the hest service to the Government. At this there things mmi not be said which it was hitherto the pride and boist the country could be agitated with freedom ; antl when a Noble Lord lately said„ that he would ra. titer encounter a revolution than see the country enslaved, hi 7 sentiment was W it with clamo , rs of disapprobation by the Gentlemen o,ipnsite. But, was this a new sentiment ? lie should to hear any man in that I-louse expr:ss his feeling to the effect that he would rather see his country enslaved thanntidergo a revolution. Such man must explain what was his opinion of the 0.6.'114 Revolution which expelled James il. and esia hlished the ancestors of the present Royal mily on the "1 hrone, and he might be expected to attribute that Revolution to the artifices ut seui don and treason; on such principles, theretore he must regard the present Royal Fam.ly as usurpers. The lion. lientlem , in then slightly al.;- luded to the interruption he experienced on a former evening front the opposite side, and ob served, that what the Right Hon. Getttleinari (Mr. Addington) said on that occasion was pre;- mint with a very important feature, for he seemed to disclaim all practical responsibility on the seis ject. But he would contend, that either the Noble Lord, by himself, or by those in sellout he confided, ought to know from day to day what passed in those places in which persons were im prisoned by his warrant on mere suspicion ce crime; and sorely neither the Noble Lord, near ;tight Hon. Reletive, could have a more honour able occupation. The persons so coefiued were now deprived of all the protection they bed hee fore, particularly that of being visited by Niagis crates, to examine into their treatment and hear their complaints, us . well as being seen by their friends. He was not inclin e d. t o d en y that it might he improper for individuals to be visited, by every person ; but this restr i ction appeared to him to have been cat vied to an tome. cessary length. When a Noble Lard (Folkstotie) had visited one of those prisons as a Siegistsate, for the purpose of an inquit y, he had hen re fused admittance to the very persons from whom he might have obtained a verification of facts ; and the same restriction had taken place towards an Hon. Gentleman .(Mr. Bennett) with respect to the prison now it, question. It it were possible that he could have been inclined to enter into any conespondence with the prisoners, the presence , of the jailor would have prevented it. But suet% laws as had been passed rendered Digland worse than any othet country ; for when the great phi lanthropist (Howard) devoted himself to the pur suit of benevolence, the prison doors, even countries the most despotic, were thrown °pets to bins. How would he feel, if now alive, out finding that in Eciglend • the doors of our prie sons, at the mete word of a jailor, were shut in his face, and he was to be told, '' Ilere are my orders that you shall not enter, and they are the orders of a British Secretary of State.'' As to his motion, he was sore it could do no great harm. Nothing was more opposite to season or justice that; the grounds o n w hi c h suc h persons were.detained. They were said to be put in fur repentance-e-(Elear, near!)—alai not for punish meot.• If they were pet ill for their security, it was a great and crying act of injustice. Ile wou l d suppose a case. Suppose that one of those per “nts- contused should be brought to trial and acquitted, nut from any detect in tire evideeee, but on the clearest demonstration • of his hues ceece. If. any . person who had its that sentiment of his having been pot in for repent ance were to meet such a loan, emaciated in body and mind, who might say to hint, " you have pet me on repentance, as you call it, and it is proved that 1 have done nothing, but ant infinitely mere innocent than you are : Go, now, and phce your,- selt where I have been so long; count the hours of melancholy and misery that I have endured stretch yourself on the bed of the felon, where 1 have lain So long ; think what must be the agonised feelings of my wife and family, missed by my confinement, because they can no longer support themselves ;--gthen, whea you want to put people on their repentance again, you will perhaps qualify. that wish by some consi deration for their sufferings." The [loth Gentle man then proceeded to comment on the effects which sect imprisonment would have, and decried that they would intimidate, without thus affecting the good as.well as the bad, which would be the worst feeling that could take place with the people. He commented on the retrograde progress that must be made on the late laws, to the iron and despotic ages of the Edwards and the Reorys, and drew the inference, that any man who would so sell his birthright tot . such a mess of pottage,
