from the goorevaor himself, in welsh he said that, consider-
ing the great numbers &chin to the island, if he wu to be
responsible for the pew, he mast limit the number. They
were sent indberhainately from all quarters of both Sicily
sod Lay, at.d as he said bean, to such an extent, that the
governor could not anew them to land without taking other
steps.
Me. HUME asked what number had arrived.
Mr. HAWIIII said that his hoe. friend had not given him
notice of this question, but he believed he was right in say-
ing that several hundreds had ,mind there within a short
period, and more were on their way.

PROCLAMATION OF GENERAL HAYNAC.
Lord NUGENT, .seine the right hon. gentleman the
Secretary of State for the Foreign Department in his place,
wished to put a question to him en a subject on which he
trusted he would not be reluctant to satisfy the (*alias which
he was coavirced wee very general throughout the country.
He had seen within the last two or three days what par-
ported to be a proclamation of the Austrian Gen. Haynae,ad-
dr. sled to the inhabitants of Perth and Buds, denouncing the
punishment of instant death upon the spot against any per-
son who should be presumed to have committed what he
termed a political offence--or any person who might be pre-
sumed to be taking part in it—such as never before was made
punishable wi h death by any chi,f holding a commission
and- r a civilised governmeat—iesteut death on the spot, ap-
pointing, of course, the soldiers who were to be executioners
to be themselves the judges. There was the offence of wear-
ing what might be deemed a revolutionary dress—spreading
what might be deemed a false report, and above ell, commit-
ting what might be deemed to be an insult to the soldier,
thereby leaving resistance to any violence that might be
committed by the soldier to be placed within the category of
le malt. He wished to a-k his noklo friend whether this pro-
clamation, this most astonishing proclamation, to which his
noble n►ture would be ready to affix a much stronger term,
were genuine or net ?
Lord PALMERSTON said that it was unnecessary for
hint to say that her Majesty's government, In common with
every body else, must have read the proclamation, as it ati-
pe wed in the newspapers, wi b the deepest pain. (Hear,
hear) He need say no more on that point; they bad hod
no official c .inmuntcation of the proclamation, and there-
fore he had no official knowledge whether it were genuine or
not.

Lord NUGENT would then ask, whether when govern-
ment should ba in official possession of the feet, if it should
turn out to be as the newspapers had described it, her Ma.
lest) 's government would be prepared, es in the ease of the
Elliot treaty in Spain, to interpose to good officer, nay, its
authority, if nece.sery, to stop the p.rpetration of such hoe
ron so, he believed, had n been perpetrated or contem-
plated before.
Lord PALMERSTON—The noble lord and the house
world se* that her Majesty's government must reserve to
themselves a legitimate discretion to act as they might think
tit, at the rime, under the cirumatances.
