By order of the Commissioners, EDWARD G. DEANE, Clerk. Liverpool, 13th, April 1835. DEEDS, not WORDS, are the Maxims of the Day, and to obtain public favour it is alone necessary to deserve it. The principles of honest dealing require that the Tradesman should get a profit, though a moderate one, the ARTIZAN re munerating wages, and Families be supplied at the lowest rate which these combined objects can effect; on this basis HENRY L. COOPER offers the character and credit of an establishment of upwards of half a century in existence, as a pledge for the fulfilment of his engagements with his best friends and patrons, the Public. To realize the professions of this brief address H. L. C. so licits a view of his STOCK of PLATE GLA , CABINET and CHAIR WORK, UPHOLSTERY, ~ at the prices required for them, and fearlessly challenges ompetition in the united qualities of FASHION, MATER L, MANUFAC TURE, and COST; 93, Bishopsgate-str Within, and at his Western Branch, 57, Conduit-street, Re nt-street. Among the variety of articles above referred to will be found LOOKING-GLASSES of every denomination and size, varying from one foot to eighty feet and upwards; PLATE GLASS for windows, carriages, &c., which possess great advantages over crown, and when re quired for exportation a considerable drawback obtained.

CIARDEN and PRESTON beg to announce to the Public lJ in general their return from the London and Manchester Markets, where they have been unusual ortunate in their purchases, having selected for cash, that present essential re quisite, though rare article, some of the eapest Lots of Goods ever yet offered to the notice of any i c .

N.8.--Every article in Haberdashery will be sold at Cost Price, and the lowest price will be named for every description of Goods, from which no abatement can possibly be made. Family Mourning in great variety. There is,,we are authorized to state, no truth in the reported change of medical attendants by his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex. • , in , ' The House of Commons committee on printed papers thei r report recommended that the whole number of copies of. the statutes for promulgation be printed of one uniform (r_oyal octavo) size, and to be distributed to members by the Vote office, as the parliamentary papers now arc, as soon after the completion of each sheet as possible. The Duke of Wellington intends to spend the Easter recess at Weimer Castle, which is now preparing to receive his grace. During his stay, as Lord Warden, he will hold a harbour ses sion, to direct the further progress of the works for the improve ments of the port of Dover. The extensive range of buildings now constructing on the Esplanade there is to be named Wa , terloo Crescent, in honour of the noble and gallant duke and his former companions in arms. ADMIRALTY PATRONAGE.—It is due from us to acknowledge that Lord de Grey, during his short presidency over the naval affairs of the country, has made some promotions of de serving officers, whose claim to his notice was solely grounded on their services—the due reward of which does his lordship much credit, and will he appreciated in the navy.—Hampshire Telegraph. NORTH Essex ELECTION.--The elevation of Mr. Baring to the peerage causes a vacancy in the repiesentatiou of North Essex ; and we have the pleasure to state that John Payne Elwes, Esq., of Grove House, is in the field as a candidate ou the con servative interest. On Tuesday a very numerous and highly respectable meeting of the North Essex Loyal and Conservative Association was held at the White Hart Inn,s.Bocking, at which meeting it was unanimously resolved to give to Mr. Llwes that zealous support which he eminently deserves. Mr. Elwes is a man practically and thoroughly acquainted with all that relates to agriculture and to the agricultural interest, and it would be, impossible to find a more warm and uncompromising friend to the farmer. Mr, Elwes is one of the . good old John Bull school—plain speaking and sincere, and he possesses that sterl ing good sen se whi c h is o f f ar more value in a legislator than the meretricious captivations of splendid eloquence, tvhich, like the ignisfatiois, only gleams to betray. In the address of the worthy candidate to the electors he expresses regret that time will nut permit him to make a personal canvass. Mr. Elwes is too well known in North Essex to experience any disadvantage from that circumstance; he has in every village friends to re present him, and to advocate his claims io the honour of repre senting that division of the county. We d o no t h ear o f any one coming forward to oppose Mr. Elwes. Our reason assigned is that it is not worth while to contend the matter, as it is pro bable that a general dissolution of Parliament will shortly take place. "The grapes are sour," cried the f ox , w h en h e could not reach them. The election is to take place at Braintree on Monday, the 27th.—Essei Standard. THE INDIAN CHIEF.—The Indian Chief, Muk Coonse, who has acquired so much celebrity, is about to return with his sister, and remaining portion of his tribe, to his native home, having, it is understood, accomplished the primary object, of his migra tion, viz., the settlement of some land, purchased by our govern ment. Since his acquittal for an alleged offence several parties have been eager to engage him for exhibition. The managers of the Garrick and Pavilion Theatres have made offers for the performance of himself and party; an enterprising omnibus pro prietor hasoffered no Jess than £lOO for the three Greenwich fair days for the Chief to exhibit at his repository on the Greenwich road. Sir Augustus D'Este and his other patrons have, how ever, placed their veto against any further exhibition of himself and followers as puppets to "the million." The Chief and his sister have acquired some knowledge of English, but on 'their, return they will 6., iuinst.tod iu .1.14110 i.

THE SILENT SYSTEM OF PRISON DISCIPLINE.— Among the points to which the inquiries of the committee of lords has been prominently directed in examining the witnesses from the Mid dlesex House of Correction and the Westminster Bridewell has been as to the practical working of the silent system recently in troduced. This system consists in compelling the prisoners to maintain a profound silence while performing their labours on tire rotatory wheel of the mill. Neither laugh nor joke may pbs on pain of solitary imprisonment and partial stoppage of pitrisious.. With a view to improving the discipline of the gaol, theayititing magistrates sent Mr. Chesterton, its governor, a sh white ba c k t o v i s i t a n d to ma k e i nqu i r ies at various pri son '' 5 far no r th as Gl as gow, and much of the information glee has sinc e b een adopted, this being part. It has been l a" found* work powerfullyin producing a salutary dread of im prisonifitat. Persons whose faces had been constantly familiar forrtuyoeacirrajhe turnkeys, th ey se ld om p ass i n g more than one o day V . large at a time, have, on their discharge, declared they would take-..sar e not to come there again, and have kept their-word. Many known metropolitan thieves are now mak ing the circuit of the- provinces. A large proportion have emi-r grated into Sorry, and it af;pettr.s others have confined their operations to the city of London ; On Thursday last Sir Peter Laurie declared that the gaols of London had become ...., pletely crowded since the change;, It is by thefair s', -:ir•.lllfit plan of compulsory tacit urn i ty see i n ist o b e most ' ... ' ''!. • PATRIOTS, ANCIENT AND MODERN. 0 'en time a pat riot was one whose soul was purely intent on his country's good —who studies how to improve its (arts, manufactures, and resources, without a single selfish wish or interested motive —one who would sacratice fortune, nay even life itself, for its prosperity, and lie more than satisfied, it', with the honest applauses of his fellow men, he gained that popularity his soul told him he had studied to deserve. Well, tempera mutantur et nos mutamur in alit, there is no such feeling now in existence, to urge a man to high and h onoura b le actions. High and h o nourable, forsooth !—Why the modern patriots ("praise unde served is Onsiire in disguise") have not even a shred of either honor or nature amongst them. The first qualification typical of these worthies; is indomitable impudence and assurance, that, will support their nerves in bullying, braiadoiuo, and plundering —for plunder it is by which they exist, and like vampires they suck the blood of their deluded folloWers !

Jimperiat Varlianunt. HOUSE OF LORDS.--WEnNEsoAv. The Lord Chancellor touk his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. • The Duke of Gordon presented petitions in favour of the . eitablished church of Scotland. _ _ The Earl of ltosebery presented a petition from Aberdeen against any additional grant to the Scotch church. The Earl of Malmesbury presented a petition from Lyndhurst New Forest, Hants, signed by 200 persons, praying fur protec tion towards the established church of England and Ireland: Mr. Lyons brought up some papers from the Court of Chan cery (Ireland.) On the motion of the Earl of Shaftesbury, several private bills were read a third time and passed. The Duke of WELLINGTON said he had given notice that he would on that day move an adjournment of the house till Thurs day, the 30th instant; but, as it might be inconvenient to his majesty's . service, consid er i ng th e present unsettled state of the government and the difficulties of the country, to proceed with , the motion then, he begged to withdraw it till to-morrow. The Duke of DCCKINGII A M asked his noble friend what mo tion did he intend to make to-morrow, and what was his object in postponing the motion of which he gave notice for the pre sent day ? The Duke of WELLINGTON said that it might perhaps be in convenient for the public interest to adjourn on that day to the 30th. It would be better, in the present state of the govern ment, to wait till to-morrow, and then adjourn merely for the Easter recess. • _ _ The Duke of CUMBERLAND agreed with the noble duke. The House of Commons would sit to-morrow on public busi ness •' and it was desirable that their lordships should see in what state the affairs of the government and the country were likely to be in before they adjourned. Lord Brougham made an observation, which was inaudible. The Duke of WELLINGTON said it would be inconvenient to adjourn on that night to a particular day. It was fit that they should not adjourn till it was convenient, or longer-than was convenient, for the public service that they should adjourn. The house then, at half-past five o'clock, adjourned till to morrow. HOUSE OF LORDS.—THugsDAY, The Earl of Shaftesbury, in the absence of the Lord Chan cellor, took his seat on the woolsack at half. past four o'clock. The Duke of GORDPN presented several petitions in favour of the'established church of Scotland. The Earl of ROSEBERY presented a petition to the same effect; and also one praying their lordships not to make any ad diticinargrant to the church of Scotland. Several private bills were brought up from the House of .nonitst H.,. war. nnPisir amending and increasing the powers of the Grand Junction Water Works Company, and. another for lighting the town of Dunnally, Carna'rvonshire. Mr. Rice Trevor and others brought up the Bury Port har bour bill. •Colonel Evans brought up the Westminster improvement bill. Several private bills were read a first time. The Earl of Aberdeen brought up some papers relative to the abolition of slavery in the West Indies. ADJOURNMENT OF THE 1100 E. The Duke of WELLINGTON rose, and said that, having from a consideration for the public service postponed yesterday his motion for the adjournment of the house to this day, he would now move that the house, under existing circumstances, do ad journ to Saturday. The question having been put, the house adjourned at twenty minutes past five o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.--THURSDAY. The Speaker took the chair at half-past three o'clock. DUBLIN ELECTION. Mr. MAXWELL, the chairman of the Dublin eleCtion com mittee, brought up their report, which stated that,, on the part of the sitting members, an application bad been made to the committee to issue a commission for the purpose of examining witnesses in Ireland, and the committee having heard evidence in support of such application, had decided that, in consequence of the great expense and inconvenience that would be occasion ed by the examination of witnesses here, such commi s sion should issue to examine evidence in Ireland, and that, one barris ter on each side having been named, a third barrister was named by the said committee, who were duly appointed com missioners, with directions to proceed to Ireland, for the pur poses of the said commission, on Saturday, the 2d of May. The hon. member then moved that the committee have the leave of the house to adjourn until the speaker du direct them to re-assemble. The motion was then put and agreed to. IPSWICH COMMITTEE. Mr. PLUMPTRE applied to the house for leave for this commit tee to adjourn till the 18th of May, in consequence of the illness of Mr. P. M. Stewart, the chairman, and the absence, from a severe domestic affliction, of another member of the committee. Leave granted. Several petitions were presented relative to private bills. Col. HEATH HAY moved the second reading of the Leith harbour bill. The bill was then read a second time .without a division. Several private bills were forwarded a stage. MINISTERIAL. NEGOCIATIoNs. Sir R. PEEL rose and said—Sir, having had the honour of receiving an intimation from bis Majesty similar to that which induced me to move the previous adjournment of the house to this day, I consider it my duty,. under such circumstances, to move that this house, at its rising, do stand adjourned until Saturday next. • On the question being put, Mr. SINCLAIR rose to inquire whether the negociations pre paratory to the formation of a new government had advanced so tar towards completion as to justify the adjournment being made only until Saturday, or whether it was not likely that on Saturday they would again have to adjourn to a future day? Public business was in arrear, and the greatest anxiety was ex perienced by the people upon the subject of the new ministry. They had been told day alter day—at any rate it had long been predicted by certain newspapers—that the administration of his right hon. friend had not a leg to stand upon, nor another hour to live--that it was in articulo mortis—and the noble lord oppo site (Lord John Russell) was prepared, to administer the sacra ment of extreme unction. (Laughter.) That noble lord had, however, found that it was much easier to overthrow one minis try than it was to construct another. It was easier to destroy the Doric column of conservative erection (cheers and laughter) than it was to build up an edifice of the composite order. .(Laughter and cheers.) The speech of his right hon. friend ou a late occasion had created a decided opinion in the country, for it was manly and eloquent, statesmanlike and impressive. (Cheers.) Lord JOHN Russet', said he did not rise for the purpose of discussing the propositions of the hon. member (Mr. Sinclair) although he felt a difficulty in making any communication to the house relative to the n ew administration; yet, as an hon. member had desired information upon the subject, it was his duty to afford it; and be could only state that, upon 'the dis solution of the late ministry, his Majesty sent for Earl Grey, requesting his advice in the present state of public affairs. That subsequently, by the advice of Earl Grey, his Majesty sent for Lord Melbourne and the Marquis of Lansdowne, and that af terwards a communication bad been made by those noble lords to his Majesty, but that communication was one of a prelimin ary nature, and he ( Lord J. Russell) could not at present state the nature of-it no r g i ve an y f urt h er information than this, that before Saturday next the list of those who were to form the new cabinet could not be submitted to the house. The other orders of the day were then disposed of. The house adjourned at a quarter past five o'clock. NITENSIYE CA RPET AND FURNITUM WAREHOUSE.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. HOUSE OF LORDS.-SATURDAY. The Earl of SHAF TESBURY took his seat on the woolsack, in the absence of the Lord Chancellor, at 2Uminutes to five,o'clock The new ministers, and several of their supporters, took theirl seats on the ministerial benches. Lord BitouGris NI, after he had delivered his judgment in the case of Sharpe v, Sharpe, immediately walked over to the mi nisterial side of the house, in his way bowing to the Duke of Richmond and the E ar l o f Rip on , as inviting those noble lords, who were sitting on the cross-benches, to accompany him, pre sented a petition from the ministers and elders and congrega tion of Johnstone, in the west of Scotland, praying that no grant of the public money be made for building additional churches in Scotland. The noble and learned lord also pre sented a similar petition from another place in Scotland. _The Earl of Wick Low then rose to present a petition from a parish in the county of Meath, in favour of the tithes bill brought into the ()thar house of parliament by the first lord of the trea sury of the late government, and against the appropriation of any of the revenues of the church to any other than strictly protestant church purposes. The petitioners stated that should' the late resolution of the House of Commons be carried into effect the consequence would be that the protestants of Ireland would be compelled to leave their native country. The peti tioners concluded by praying, that if the legislature were de termined to carry the resolution of the House of Commons in to effect, it would apply as much of the money to be taken from the church as would enable them to emigrate to some other more peaceable country (a laugh.) The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented a petition from the city of Waterford, praying for some measure to prevent inti midation at elections in Ireland. THE NEW MINISTRY. LO-rd MELBOURNE rose and said=my lords, I rise to address your lordships for the purpose of informing you of that which perhaps you may have heard through other channels, but which it is my duty tts state to you, that his majesty has been pleased to appoint me the first lord of the treasury, and that I and my ealeagues-hui-e this day been sworn into and received the seals of office. With respect to the difficulties under which the ad ministration has been formed—and great and many they have been ? some indeed of a peculiarly severe and mortifying nature --itas mit now my business to say anything; nor, indeed, need I say more of the principles upon which it has been constructed than that they are the principles on which my former government was based, and which to a great extent have beeu recognised, con firmed,and strengthened by those who succeeded us in office. They are principles of safe and prudent, and truly efficient reformation —principles whose tendency is not to subvert or endanger, but, on the contrary, to improve and strengthen and establish the insti tutions of the country. In reference to those particular sub. jects which lately engrossed the attention of parliament, and have been alluded to by some noble lords on the other side—l. mean to those measures which relate to ecclesiastical govern ment—allow me to assure your lordships, and through your lordships to assure the country, that every measure contem plated in reference to that subject will have for its end and pur.. pose the promotion and increase of true piety sad religion' throughout the whole and every part of his majesty's domini ons (hear, from the ministerial side)l These are all the obser vations which I shall make ou the present occasion. in the hurry and pressure under which these arrangements have been formed, I apprehend that all the formal 'business connected therewith has not been brought before, the othe honse..of".ptir liament; and that in order to 'finish it, it must; iTilekeekitl, l to !er4jeurn that house to Monday next. Shout!. your ,Itird#ipt 'llitnit'fit to pursue that course, and that it appears neeessarY.Tto meet on Monday next, I shall be prepared to Make the unitise), bot if Hot, I shill move the adjournment of the house 'fesAidax the 12th. . 1 apprehend—under all the circumstances of4e case s —considering the great pressure of business that remain* to be transacted, and that those who are to conduct the bust; ness in the other house cannot be in their placei 'before that day—that your lordships will not think the adjourninent to Tuesday, the 12th of May, too look; I shall therefore move that this house, at its rising, do adjourn to Tuesiday, the 12th of May. Tse Duke of Inc HMOND thought it was impossible that their lordships could adjourn for f o long a period. He would sug, gest that their lordships do adjourn to the 30th instant; with the understanding that no public business be transacted until the 12th of May. It would be necessary to swear witnesses to be examined before the 'committee. on secondary punishments, and be, therefore, Moved that their lordships do adjourn to the 30th instant. Lord ALVA NLEY said--I wish to take this opportunity of en abling the noble lord (Lord 'Melbourne) to give an expiauation to the house respecting certain statements which are in general circulation before the question ofadjournment he put. (" H ear, hear," from the Duke. of Cumberland.) I wish to know wbes ther the noble viscount has or has nut secured for his govern ment the powerful aid of Mr. O'Connell and his . party, and, if so, what are the terms on which it has been obtained? In or tive party, among whom were the Marquess of Chandos and Sir Binary times the noble lord might have refused to answer this question; but these are not ordinciry times_ It was only a few months since Mr. O'Connell opposed the government of the noble viscount in the most strenuous and decided manner; and but a short time before the learned gentleman was denounced, in every way except by name, in the King's speech. (Hear, hear.) I, therefore, wish to know, if the noble lord has changed his opinions, and on what terms that change has taken place? (Loud cries of " Hear.") Mr. O'Connell's aid‘was not to be secured for nothing; and I. think the house-has a right to know what is the equivalent which has been given for his aid. This is my reason for asking a question so early, and I trust the no ble lord will not refuse to answer. Only a few months ago, and for many mouths, before, that honourable and learned gentle man had lost no opportunity of stating his views with respect to the repeal of the union and the destruction of this housel 4 With regard to the repeal of the union, Mr. O'Connell addressed a letter to a noble friend of mine, who then filled the office of Se cretary of State for the Home Department. The right honour able and gallant gentleman who was recently at the head of his majesty's governinent—(lond cheers from the opposition) yes, I say the right honourable and gallant gentleman, for dining . his short continu ance i n o ffi ce h e e xhib i ted in that ardu ous ,. glorious. and memorable struggle, which must ever distinguish his government, a degree of moral courage, of patriotism and invincible fortitude, such as I am convinced has never been,' perhaps never will be, surpassed. (Cheers.) That right hon. gentleman has, in the House of Commons, already read the let ter written by Mr. O'Connell to which I am about to refer. After scone appeals to the members of the then existing minis try, the letter goes on thus :—" I do feel the powerful influence o f duty which commands me to make the utmost efforts in order to procure for Ireland the repeal of the union." This is plain enough; but he is still plainer, and his language is, perhaps, more forcible in an address which he made at a meeting of the Anti-Tory Association. He says, " I was never more con vinced of the necessity of a repeal of the union, and of establish ing a national parliament on College-green. It is not vanity, but I shall not be satisfied till in that parliament I am hailed by . some member as the father of my country. The time is not far distant when the union will be prostrate at our feet, and Ireland freed from her chains." This address was made not later than two months ago. With regard to this house, I shall now read an extract which shows that, without its abolition, this hon. and learned gentleman will not be contented. It is for your in formation, my lords, and for that of the noble lord opposite, (Lord Melbourne,) upon whom, if he is not already aware of it, I trust that it will not fail to make the impression which in my opinion it ought to produce. The hon. and learned gentleman, in addressing a very numerous meeting, said, " The reform of the House of Lords is absolutely necessary to establish and se cure our popular freedom. lam anxious that that house should be based on sound common sense; in short, that it should be converted into an elective assembly. — These, my lords, are not words of an ambiguous character. Such language, coming' from such a quarter, is not to be considered as mere words, of course. Mr. O'Connell has pledged himself, as deeply as any public man possibly can pledge himself, to subvert the consti tution of this house; and I call on the noble lord opposite to give that information which he is bouud to afford by his charac ter and his station as a gentleman, a peer, and a minister of the crown. I ask him, then, on what terms has he negociated with Mr. O'Connell, and how far he stands committed to that hon. and learned gentleman, who most solemnly declares he will never rest till he has effected the repeal of the union? I call on the noble lord, as a peer of the realm and a member of this house, to state how far he coincides with the hon. and learned gentleman in his project for reducing this branch of the legisla ture to so humble a position as that of a mere elective assembly, Lord BROUGHAM, while Lord Alvanley was in the act of sit ting down, rose, and with the utmost vehemence of manner, said, My lords, I rise to speak to order (cries of " Order.") I Lord ALVANLEY (addressing the house): I merely rose to put a question to the other noble' lord. (Cheers.) Likil BROUGHAM ,with great warmth): And that is the very reason I answer it. It i s— Here a scene of indescribable confusion occurred. Several of the tory peers rose from their seats at once, evidently very much excited, and lo u d cr i es of " Order, order" were heard from all parts of the house. Lord KEN YON (labouring under great excitement): I rise to call the noble and learned lord (Brougham) to order. My noble friend (Lord Alvanley) did not address himself to the noble and learned lord ; he did not put the question to him. Did the noble and learned lord rise to order? (Hear, hear.) Lord BROUGHAM (with great warmth and earnestness of gesture): Most unquestionably I did, and according to the strictest forms of the house, I am right in speaking to order. How does the noble lord know that I did not mean to ground a motion upon the course taken by the noble lord (Alvanley) ? I ~interrupted that noble lord to call him to order; but when I F ut up, I. understood the n o bl e l o rd to say that he had done. l'hen I did not call him to order, but I craved permission of my noble friend (Melbourne),to allow me to advise him not to give an answer to the question of the noble lord, which for irregu larity is utterly unprecedented in this house. (Hear, hear.) The measures of the government will show what course my noble friend has taken. .Did any one ever before hear of a minister being called upon to tell whom the king meant to appoint to office, or what arrangements were in progress with a certain in dividual, and whether that individual had been gained over to the government? I advise my noble and learned friend not to sanction such questions by giving them an answer. (Hear.) Earl WICKLOW (;with great warmth): My noble friend (Lord Alvanley) is perfectly justified in putting the question to the noble lord. And the noble and learned lord's (Lord Brougham's) conduct, in rising to order in the extraordinary and unprecedented manner he has done, is most disorderly. (Loud cries of " Hear, hear," and great confusion.) Lord BROUGHAM, who seemed - to be labouring under still greater excitement, was about to rise again, but was antici pated by Lord MELBOURNE, who said, perhaps the noble lord was not greatly out of order iu putting this question, but, at the same time, I think that the noble lord might have put it in plainer terms, and not accompanied it with a greater number of obser vations than is usual. The noble lord asks me bow far I coin cide in opinion with Mr. O'Connell? Why not at all. (Loud cheers.) It is impossible for any question to receive a simpler answer. The noble lord also asks me whether I entertain the same opinions which I did on a former occasion, which I appre hend to be when the coercion act was under "consideration s I answer him that I certainly do entertain the same opinions, and that I persevere in them. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) The noble lord then asks me whether I have taken any means to secure the assistance of Mr. O'Connell, and upon what terms? I do not know whether I have the assistance of Mr. O'Connell or not, but I say most distinctly that I have taken no means to secure it (loud cheers) and I most particularly state, that I have entered into no terms whatever, nor have said anything, from which any inference can be drawn, in order to secure that indi vidual's support. To the noble lord's question, therefore, I give a most decided negative; and if he has been told anything to the contrary, he has been told what is false, and without foun .dation. (Cheers.) I have only further to say, that I will resist every attempt to carry the measure referr e d t o by th e n o ble I lord. Lord ALVANLEY : I have received a most satisfactory answer from the noble lord, and thereforo have no reason to regret having put the question, nor to think that I merited the rebuke of the noble and learned lord. (Cheers.) The Duke of BUCKINGHAM.—I trust that the house and the people will be undeceived with regard to the imputation which had been cast upon the overnment of desiring to conciliate Mr. O'Connell. The no ble viscount has distinctly stated that the same principles would be acted upon as he acted on before, when the church question was under consideration, and that he was still determined to pr o m o t e th e i n t erests an d extend the usefulness of piety and true religion. Every one knew the cans 3 which compelled his Majesty's late government to resign —namely, the principle of appropriating church property to secular purposes. I beg, therefore, to ask the noble viscount (Melbourne) distinctly and emphatically, whether lie is pre pared to bring forward a measure for relief from the grievances of the Irish tithe system, and appropriating the surplus revenue to other than religious purposes. Lord MELBOURNE.-It is inconvenient to answer such questions, because before doing so it would be requisite to enter , at large into a difficult and extensive subject; but I do not hesi tate to say (here the noble lord spoke with remarkable emphasis and energy of manner) I DO NOT HESITATTE TO SAY THAT I CONSIDER MYSEI F PLEDGED TO ACT ON THE RESOLUTION OP THN OTHER HOUSE. The announcement, coupled with the energetic manner in which it was made, produced an extraordinary effect upon the house. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY.—I have a petition, signed by upwards of 60,000 protestants in the north of Ireland, to present to this house, against the principle embodied in the re !Nlutiou lately adopted by the other house respecting the appro. viation of church property in Ireland. I have kept it back for some time, as I thought that in the event of the late govern meet remaining in office, it might not have been necessary to present it. But after the declaration which has just been made by the noble lord, I shall certainly take an early opportunity of layin ,, it on yonr lordships' table, after the Easter recess. I am grad to hear from the noble lord that he has put a veto of exclusion on Mr. O'Connell and his radical crew. (A laugh.) Lord Tama' Ast here interrupted the noble marquis by an observation respecting the House of Commons, the purport of which we could not catch. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY resumed.—l am bound to respect the opinions and decisions of the other house, and I think I have lately afforded an unequivocal proof that I do so — (loud cries of "bear, hear!" from the Duke of Cumberland and other opposition peers); but I must say that I cannot, respect the late resolution, as it was the result of a union with Mr, O'Connell and his tail, with the party of a noble lord—a union which was celebrated by a late public dinner (the dinner. to Lord John Russell.) .Lord MELBOURNE.-1 never used the word veto. What I said was, that I had taken no means to ensure the assistance of Mr. O'Connell, nor had I entered into any stipulation whatever • with him; but I never used the words veto or exclusion, and, indeed, should be sorry to have employed them. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY.--1 am sure that any con nexion with Mr. O'Connell or his tail, would be the curse of this country. Aftei public meetings and public dinners have been held, at which Mr. O'Connell and his party have been pre int with noble lords and their parties, it certainly is very gra tfying to hear from the noble lord a positive denial of any such union of interests. ADJOURNRIENT OF THE HOUSE. Lord M ELBOU R NE.--With respect to the adjournment of the house, I have no objection to the adoption of the course pro posed by the noble duke (Richmond), provided, it be under stood that no public busine ss i s t o b e d one till t h e 12th of May. —That understanding being come to, the house adjourned till 'the 30th instant. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—SATURDAY. The Speaker took the chair at half-past three o'clock. CORK ELECTION. Sir JOHN BYNG, the chairman of the Cork election commit tee,_ brought up the re p or t o f t h e comm itt ee , finding . that the sitting members, Colonel Chatterton and Joseph Leycester, „Esq., had not been duly elected, and that Dr. Baldwin and Daniel Callaghan, Esq., had been duly. elected and ought to 'have been returned, but that neither the petition nor the Op position to it had been frivolous or vexatious. The clerk of the crown attended to amend the return, which having been done, Mr. D. Callaghan took the oaths and his scat for the city of Cork. On the motion of Mr. O'Connell; the ballot upon the Canter 'bury election petition was postponed from April 30 to May 14. THE LATE MINISTRY. Sir Robert Peel entered the house at ten .minutes to four o'clock. Ile first proceeded to the ministerial benches, but im mediately afterwards crossect over and took his seat on the op position side of the house. As soon as the members who sup ported the right hon. baronet's • administration, and who were still sitting on the ministerial benches, perceived this, they gra dually left the house, and, upon their return, took their seats on the opposition benches. For about half an hour after this the house presented a very curious appearance. The treasury bench and those immedi a t e ly b e hi n d it were altogether unoccu pied, while on the opposition side were members of every politi cal party, some in conversational knots, others sitting by them selves, and many. remarking• the unusual aspect of the house. Lerd.Stanley was not present, but Sir J. Graham was observed conversing at the bar with several conservative members. "A• few members who, since the 'commencement of the session, have sat on the benches occupied by Lord Stanley and his friends retained their seats and were joined by several of the cons er va- It. Inglis. Mr. O'Connell, his sons, and the Irish members be longing to his party, took their usual seats on the opposition side, and retained them till the entrance of the new ministerial party. THE NEW MINISTRY. At twenty-three minutes past five, Mr. Baring entered the house, followed by a large number of members of the old whip party, upon which the house was instantly in commotion —Mr. O'Connell and a large number of the reform party crossing the floor, and taking their seats on the ministerial benches. Mr. O'Connell sat on the treasury bench, as also did Mr. 'l'ooke and severe; niembers of the ultra-liberal party. After some minutes the cheerincr - iiitisided; and order was -restored. It should be , 0 stated tnat. lists of the new ministry were very assiduously handed about during the period that no business was before die house; but, notwithstanding, the utmost anxiety was exhibited by hon. members to hear the official announcement from the ministerial bench. • ' NEW WRITS. Mr. F. BARING rose amidst profound silence, and moved the following writs in succession :—A new writ for CAMBRIDGE (Town)—in the room of the Right Hon. T. S. Rice, who-had accepted the office of Chancellor of the Exche quer. . . _ _ NORTHUMBERLAND (North)—in the room of Lord Viscount Howick, who had accepted the office of Secretary at War. NUTTING/JAM—in the room of Sir John Cam Hobbouse, Bart., who had accepted the office of President of the Board of Control. MANCHESTER—in the room of the Right 1-ion. Chas. Poulqtt Thomsen, who had accepted the office of President of the Board of Trade. EDINBURGH—in the room of Sir John Campbell, who had accepted the office of Attorney-General. PENItYN and FALMOUTH—in the room of R. M. Rolfe, EBq., who had accepted the office of Solicitor-General. KIRKCUDBRIGHT—in the room of the Right Hon. R. C. Per gusson, who had accepted the office of Judge Advocate General. TOTNESS—in the room of Lord Seymour, who had been ap pointed one of the Lords of the Treasury. NEWPORT—in the room of W. H. Ord, Esq., appointed one of the Lords of the Treasury. STIRLING (Burghs)—in the room of Lotd Dalmeny, appointed one of the. Lords of the Admiralty. ELGIN (Burghs)—in the room of Colonel Leith Hay, who had been appointed Clerk of the Ordnance. LEITH—in the room of J. A. Murray, Esq., appointed Lord Advocate of Scotland. DUNDEE—in the room of the Right Hon. Sir Henry Parnell, appointed to the office of Paymaster-General and Treasurer of the Navy. CAsiiim—in the room of Mr. Serjeant Perrin, appointed At torney-General for Ireland. DUNGARVON—in the room of M. O'Loughlin, Esq., ap pointed Solicitqr-Ueneral for Ireland. CLACKMANNANSHIRE AND KINcOSS•SHIRN —in the room of Rear-Admiral Adam, appointed one of the Lords of thb Ad miralty. ' [The following incident created some sensation Baring, •in moving the writ for Dungarvon, designated Mr. O'Loughlin as Serjeant O'Loughlin, upon which Mr. O'Connell corrected him in an audible whisper—" No, no—Michael O'Loughlin- 7 not Serjeant." This was instantly met by cheers from the op position, which were continued for some minutes.] ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. Mr. F. BARING next moved that the house, at its rising, should adjourn until Monday next, and stated that on that day he should move a further adjournment until -the 12th of May next. _ _ _ The hon. member also moved that the appointment of the Mallow election committee, which stood for ,the sth of May, be postponed until the 12th of May. Mr. HUME trusted that the whole of the ministerial arrange ments had been completed, and that there would be no further delay of public business. M r. F. BARING, who was inaudible in the gallery, was under , stood to reply in the affirmative.—The house then adjourned. FOREIGN -INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, APRIL 15, THE AMERICAN CLAIMS ON PRANCE. . The discussion of the bill relative to the American treaty was resumed. M. Dumon continued his summary, and replied to the several arruirients adduced against the report. Che chamber then proceeded to discuss the articles of the bill on the American claims. ' The president read the article 1, to the effect that—" The' Miuister of the Finances is authorised to take the necessary measures for carrying into execution articles 1 and 2 of the treaty signed on the 4th'of July, 1831, between the King of the ;French and the United States, the ratifications of which were exchanged at Washington on the 2d of February, 1832, and according to which a sum of 25 millions of francs is to be paid by France." M. Berryer ascended the tribune, and declared that nothing could beanore unjust than to attribute to political opinions the disapprobation of the bill expressed by the opposition deputies of; the chamber. He was not unjust enough to say that ministers defended the bill only with a view to keep their places, and that their friends supported them only for the sake of the fa v our s a t their disposal. (A laugh. ) Ministers ought to he equally con siderate. It had been asked whether a single member of that chamber could deny the justice of the American claims. He, for his part, denied it; and he hoped to bring over to his way of thinking such hon. deputies as wished conscientiously to discuss the interests of the country. (Sensation.) The reporter of the committee had stated that not only was the sum of 25,000,000. due, but that the Americans might even have raised their pre: tensions still higher. The hon. deputy then entered into some considerations on the principle of neutrality. He denied the assertion that America had been prevented by her feebleness from resisting the pretensions of England, and he maintained that it was a mercantile spirit which had stifled every sentiment of honour in the bosom of the Americans. President Jefferson had wished to resist England, but he had been prevented from so doing by the interested speculators of America. They had violated the prohibitions both of England and of France—they had broken through the laws of their own country, and was France now to recompense their cupidity ? (Hear, hear.) — Whilst other powers sustained disastrous wars, Ainerica profited by them, and yet she now demanded an indemnity ! He would say that the Americans were paid. One of his correspondents, had informed him that under the empire the English insurance companies had guaranteed the American cargoes to such an extent that the English insurers were now holding meetings in London to form an opposition with the French government to the payment of the 25,000.000. He contended that it would,be icandaloui to pay an indemnity to a nation whieji had profited so exorbitantly at the expense of France. When he saw the profits made by the Americans and the severe losses sustained by French maritime places, and especially by Bourdeaux, for which a claim was made to the amount of 10,000,000, he was tempted to demand that compensation should be made for the damages done to French trade, and nut for the supposed losses sustained by Anamica; he almost thought th a t th e B er li n an d Milan decrees should be enforced in favour of the trade of Bor deaux before the Americans were paid. He might be accused of departing from the question ; he might he told that it was worthy of France to treat the question according to the rules of probity; for such was the language of the President of the Council in his last speech. But, fur his part, he considered political yrobity an enlightened virtue, and not a culpable weakness which rendered a nation the dupe of interested Cupidity. He would reduce the question to these simple terms : —France had made a compromise; France was ready to pay 25,000,000 to those who had really suffered losses; but when were those losses sustained, or could they be proved ? He could see no proof of good faith, but rather of the contrary, in the varying estimates which the Americans had formed of their claims. M. Dimon had yesterday attached much importance to the last document received by the government. That hon. deputy seemed to entertain no doubt of the veracity of that do cument, which elevated to 99,000,000 the sum total of the claims to be discharged out of the 25,000,000 promised in 1831. M. Dimon thought that document worthy of implicit credit, as it had been drawn up by the American committee after bearing all the parties who were interested in the payment of the 25,000,000 of francs, and who exercised a mutual control over their respective titles. He (the hon. deputy) bud not had much time since yesterday to study the "document made out in 1834, and from which an attempt was made to deduce such important consequences; but be had ,made a few hasty. observations on and he would now submit' them to the chamber. in the first page of the documents printed in support of the report, he found that a vessel hart been rejected, because it had been noted on the returns of the American committee as an American vessel, whereas it was in reality an English brig. That circumstance proved that the justifications of the American commission were not worthy of implicit credit. In the third page the ship Eliza had. been rejected by the French commission, although it figured in page 102 of .the American return. This was an additional confirmation of his opinion that the American document was not perfectly accurate. The reporter of the committee thought otherwise. lie was of opinion that from the moment that the claimants took their oaths and called themselves Americans or claiming in behalf of Americans, no objection could be made ; he (the lion. deputy) admired this singleness of heart, that dis believed the existence of trickery, but the inaccuracy of the documents was not on that account the less apparent. he had another remark to make. The object of the commission of 1831 was to summon all the legitimate claimants to participate in the distribution of the 25,000,000 L It could not be-forgotten that in 1803, at the period of the .cession of Louisiana, it .had been- stipulated by the First Consul that 80,000,000 f. should be paid to 1' ranee, but that 20,000,000 f. should be reserved to pay off all`the claims prior to the month of September, 1800. Ne vertheless, the loyal government of the United.Stateshad not paid its own subjects. (Great sensation.) In pioof of this assertion he would read the ttillowing from the Afiniteur of the 19th of January, 1835 :—" A letter from Washington states that Mr. Webster has presented to the Senate a bill for the grant of an indemnity to the merchants who suffered losses from France, before the Ist of October, 1800. Mr. Webster estimates the indemnity at 5,000,000 of dollars." It was then manifest that the American government kept the money received by it to make the payments in question. (Agitation.) The President of the Council said that Mr. Webster's deMand was in addition to the 20,000,000 f. previously distributed.— ' (Murmurs from-the left.) M. Berrver said that the American government hadudinitted that the 20;000,000f. retained of the price of the cession of Lou- - isiaua would exceed the amount of the debts to be paid, and that 'consequently an additional sum of 25,000,0(Xif. ought not to be now demanded. If the demand were made, 45,000,000 f. would be required for the payment of a debt for which 20,000,000 f. were originally more than sufficient. (Murmurs front the centre.) After the instance just quoted of the good faith of America, was it to be expected that the returns of 1834 should be regarded as infallible ? The hon. deputy proceeded to specify several vessels which had been noted by the American commis sion in the returns. An attempt was thus made in 1834 to claim the amount of the debts, for the extinction of which more than the necessary funds had been received. Nay more, it world presently be seen that an attempt was made to obtain payment for the same debts, not twice, but even three times. (Murmurs from the centre.) lie had proved that no reliance was to be placed on the labours of the American commission. M. Rives, in 1831, and M. Cialatin, in 1822, had intimated that the Ame ricans would be satisfie,l with much less than 25,000,000. He knew nor if the language held •by M. Rises had b een u tt ere d with a view to enhance his own merits in the eyes of his govern ment, but he knew that 25,000,000 was too much, as individuals who ought to have been - paid out of the 20,000,000 received in 1803 were to participate in that indemnity. No sufficient do cument had been produced in support of the treaty. He-would now ask why the titles in support-of the American claim had not been produced ? It was not to be supposed that a com= tnercial people like the Americans should not have the necessary documents at their disposal,. but the reason that they were witheld was, that their production would prove that the vessels captured at the end of 1807 and at the beginning of 1808 had fraudulently quitted American ports and had taken up cargoes in the English colonies—that they had trafficked for Enollid. He would now remind the chamber of a fact mentioned -las t year by M. Bignon. Towards the end of 1808, out of 12 or 15 t vessels carrying American colours, and seized at Rochefort and La Rochelle, the American Consul himself had admitted that one-half were provided, with papers forged in London, and the, ocher half were to all eat earance English vessels furnished with old American papers.;:- He would now ask if the - committee had consulted the Archiles of the Marine at Versailles ? M. Dumon replied in the negative. APRIL ?1, 1836 Mr. Berryer said that the circumstance was to be regrett as in all probability, if those archives had been .consulted, an ac count would have been found of the different sums paid by th e Caisse des Invalides of the Marine. He would now lay beforo the chamber a communication made to him that morning by an unknown individual. The hon. deputy here unfolded amass of papers which he said were bills of exchange to the amount of 360,000 f. paid by the cashier of the Marine, and made payable to the order. of Mr. Jarvis, the captain of the American vessel the Perseverance. Notwithstanding that payment, a brig named the Perseverance figured on the returns of the American commission. (Great sensation.) He did not intend to say that this was proof positive, as there might be two ships each named tffe - Perseverance, but he repeated that it was' to be regretted that the matter had not been cleared up by a reference to the al chives of the Marine. M. Dumon said that the archives of the Marine at Versailles had been consulted when it had been found necessary to ascer tain the value of the ships and cargoes sold. He remarked that a number of the American ships, and even of the American captains, bore the sam e name , an d he conceived that it becalms the hon. deputy (M. Berryer) to ascertain whether the two vessels to which he had alluded were identically the same. M. Berryer, in continuation; insisted that the prec:eding ins.; tifications were absolut e ly i ncom pl e t e . H e w o u ld n o w ask u the committee had found - the necessary verifications at Ver sailles ? M. Donlon replied in the negative. M. Berryer demanded if the negative just given meant that an examination bad not been made at the archives, or merelY that no information had been obtained there. The Minister of War ad interim explained, that as the retort's of all. captures were sent with the other documents to the autai pistration of the Marine, and in case of contestation to the Con' sell des Prises, it was impossible that any of the documents is question could be found at Versailles. M. Berryer replied th a t h e on ly k new th a t every ten year all documents relative to captures • were deposited in the archives of the Marine. He repeated that the question now under consi; Aeration Was of a most singular nature. -Not a single clear aa", positive document of the same date as the treaty of 1631 ilea been laid before the chamb er . Th e on l y document furnished had been made out in 1834. He was at a loss to understand why the necessary documents . had not been produced by th° United States, unless it was apprehended that such document s would prove that the vessels named in the returns were la reality the property of the English, or had sailed from English varts. Not only had the claims of the American hip aried, but even the estimates made out for ea c h ship hid in' creased prodigiously at different periods. A vessel, rated by M. Rives at 9,000 dollars: had been estimated at 19,000 dollars by the American commission of 1834. The value of another shiP had been augmented from 6,000 to 35,000 dollars. It might he said that a mean term had been taken for the valuation of each vessel ; but the iac ouveu i euee was , that I.lot, only. the claims of the Americans had been increased Um 20,000,000 to 90,000,tr but that nothing could be known as to the parties to whom th e 25,000,000 ought to be paid. The bill h a d been rejectedlas t year, and at present new documents in proof of the debt were furnished, and yet, strange to say, the returns of 1535 had no connexion with those of the preceding year; not the least re semblance existed between the documents furnished for the t_ s „,wo years. He would ask if burdens to th e a moun t o f 31,000 Aw (for, including the interest, the amount wou ld ex t en d to that,. sum) ought to be imposed upon the n a ti o n on th e s t r ength 0' such documents? It had been said that the claims of the Ame ricans had been invariably admitted, but he would assert that they had never heen admitted, ex ce pt w ith regar d t o vessels burnt to prevent them from giving information relative to the manoeuvres of the French squadrons, and also with respect to vessels confiscated by the French government subsequently to 1810. Claims of this n a tur e wou ld amoun t , to 5,000,000 at the utmost. Much had been said of the reduction of the duty o _,° French wines, but that reductio n was f ar f rom h av i ng b e en If vantageous to France. (Interruptions from the centre; 'Til e minister of the interior shrugged up his shoulders.) M. Berryer.—" My assertion seems to excite the disdain of the minister, but let me be heard to an etid." (Hear, hear.) The Minister of the Interior.—" Not a word has been Wore" from the ministerial benches." M. Laffitte.—A gesture is often more significant than word. M. Berryer, in continuation, said that M. Dumon, for the sake, no doubt, of brevity, had omitted to quote the reports of the Duke de Bassano. The first of those reports stated that a° claim prior to 1810 should be admitted. The second was to the same effect. In the report it was stated that if, udder existing circumstances, any favour could be shown, it could only be to such vessels as had no knowledge of the decrees. He would en' treat the attention of the chamber to the fact, that a favour, ne t a right, was here talked of. The grant of a favour was by means the recognition of a right. Th e h on . d eputy then sal that Messrs. de Montmorency, de Da mas , an d d e P o lignac no more acknowledged the American claim than 'the - Duke do Bassano. With regard to the treaty of the Florida,, he all unable to conceive that Spain bad been made to p a y w hat had been paid in 1803. He then passed to the question of the con?' pensations admitted in the treaty to the amount of 1,500,000 f• in favour of France. He considered that by the acceptance of that paltry sum the interests of France had been shamefully sacrificed. The danger of rejecting the bill had been talked 0 ' the misery which that rejection would bring upon 500,00 0 the working classes had been depicted in glowing Fiance was also in. negotiation with M. ds Lubecki • but . it would be argued that the claims of the Russians should be satis" fied in order to prevent the murmurs of the working elass e 'i In conclusion, the hon..deputy said that the chamber ought na . to pronounce on the American claim at a moment when th a t claim was demanded with insult. (M. Berryer here quitted t tribune, and received' the felicitations of several of his friends' on whom his speech produced considerable impression.) M. Maguin requested the minister for fareign affairs to pro, duce, in the course of to-morrow's sitting, the original returnet colourS7 the American claims. He intimated that a compliance wit", , this request would spare him (the hon. deputy) the necessity:: entering to-morrow into explanations that might prove di-L greeable to ministers. (Sensations among th e deputies in he centre.) The President of the Council maintained that the copies certified and delivered by the government were in e v er y res pect wortt. of confidence. Besides, the original d ocumen t s re l a tive to 6 labours of the American commission were not in his possessi° ll ' M. isambert supported the demand of M. Magnin. M. Mutton complained that M. Berryer had argued from n, L et documents without having previously communi cate d th em t.? l, "` committee. The further discussion of the bill was then pnstponed till tod morrow (Thursday.)
