Among the latter we ltave to , mention the treat which the British Go vernment hasthewn in demanding that n•field in ifte neighbourhood of 'Tarragona should not be rultivated, or otherwise disturbed, because in this fh'ld dre buried SO() English Soldiers and some Oiliters, who perished gloriously in the defence of this fortress. Fur this purpose the British Go vernment 11;14 requeted that the ground should be valued, With the intention of giving an ample compensation It) the Fop, ietoys ; but the city of Tavragona, partaki ng in the generosity of the idea, has proposed, /1)1000 the Captain-General '*l the Peovineis, to make a present of the ground to England, in older tarot due honour may be . payed to the remains of these brave soldiers who, in doing.their ditty to' their own country, have with so Inne!l glory imposed upon ours a debt o gratitude.

Col. Gsurskro.i, wished the whole ot that para graph to be omitted. He thought, when Sve Were about to solicit a boon, we should not insult those whom we were asking to grant that boon. Ile was unwilling to offend any one in the. House of Commons, even if there should beany wrong within those walls. With respect to the, purity of the House of Commons, let us have a house constitut ed as it might, there would not be one more pure titan the present.---4(Disfipprobation.)-4le con cluded by moving, that the latter part of the rests. !titian should be omitted. Mr. KEMMISII supported the Amendment. 'Un less they gave the House 'of Commons credit for being the organ of the people, it wa. in yid!) to present petitions to 'them for redress. The peo ple did tut complain of the House Of Commons collectively ; on the contrary, they venerated and esteemed all that part of it which had shown, by its conduct, that k felt for, and wished to relieve, ties dis!resses of the people. He wished also to ascertain, front the worthy Members present, whethera peritiOn worded on.this resolution would not be rejected. Mr. CALVERT 'vat convinced the House Would not reject such a petition. Ile saw nothing in. the language of the resolution, Ile was of opinion that the 11 otse, as it wasatow eon stiteted, so.many of the people not being repree stinted, n'aS not the organ of the public voice. AMr. BARCLAY agreed in this opioion ; he further added, that be was convinced a - petition front the Borough of Southwatk,would 110' only he teceiv, eel by the,Hoose, but meet also with every propel consideratimt. The amendment was then negatived. Counita then rend a petition (Ottinied on the resolutions ; end in support of it urged all the usual topics in layout. of Parliamentary Re form. He observed, there were, at present three partie‘?i in the country—those who you'r e( ' inn . derate Reform, those who were for violent Re form, and those who were against Itifirrtn alto gether. lie was of the first description, and he was happy to' find the present Meeting agreeing with hint : he was convinced moderate Reform, if adopted, would tend very much to strengthen the attachment between tbe Sovereio and the people. Col, GAITSKELL repeated his objection to that tuirt which said the House was not the organ of lie people's voice.', Mr. YOuteo thought the expression not objets ionable. The Petition asked reform of Parlia mew : was it not reasonable, then, to tell the House that it stood in need of rrefortn? IVith re spect to the reform to be adopted, he theoght ;it should not be to increase the number of }tepee. sentatives, but to extend the right of voting, Mr. F4GLIS declared himself in favour of rc7forni he had fortner'ly been a Tory, but liei had now, he was not atillanied to say, changed his opinion and joined the' Whigs ; this change wad caused by the reluctauce in the Government to do any thing.for the reliyf of the people.. 11 hr. declared his ohjeet to be moderate reform : lie hoped the steady voice of the people would obtain:for them that object. Mr. Kestratut congratulated the Meetingron the uttannoity width prevailed on this occasion, He coodenmed, in strong language, the conduct of those traielling orators who, like itinerant tinkers, wandered about from place to place with a budget of speeches, pretemling to mend the State kettle. These Gentlemen, led away by the warmth of their feelings, frequently did harm to the cause they ad voented. He had himself, on :some 'occasions, spoken with warmth, for which he had since felt great regret. At this time he was nes - totalled the best mode of carrying the great oblee's fol. Whi c h they were contending, would he to adopt the lan guage of conciliation and moderatin u . A resolution was then agreed to for requesting the two representatives, Mr. Calvert and,Mr. Barclay, ,to present and support the petitiOn.
