LONDON,
SATURDAY, Just: 16.

The business in the House of Commons, last
night, was of extreme interest, as developing the.
strength and temper of the respedive parties. Upon
the motion that the amendments made by the Com-
mittee in the Defence Bill be now read, a division
took place, and the ".Mister was left in a minority ;
the numbers being, for the motion 63 ; against it,
69; majority 6. The Minister then moved, that
the amendments be read a second time on Monday
next, to which Mr. GILT moves' an amendment,
substituting fee Monday this day three months.—
This produced a scene of greater anxiety and agita-
tion than has been for many years witnessed in the
House. The Opposition, encouraged by success, .
and conceiving, from the appearance of the House
at the moment, that they had still a majoiity, press-
ed for an immediate division while the Ministerial
Party, anxious to immure time for their friends to
assemble, made several speeches, of which very little
novice was taken by the Opposition. Iu the mean
tine, the Ministerial Patty had mustered its forces,
and the House at length divided upon the motion,
when there appe we 1 for it, 214, agehrst it, 186 ; ma-
jority in favour of the Minister, ths. When the House
divides, one patty remains inside, and the other goes
out into the lobby. The Opposition last night were
in the latter place, and the strangers haira foil vie*,
and could perceive all that "passed among them. As
soon as the house was counted, and.they found the
Minister's majority so small, the greatest joy and
exultation prevailed, and Va. Ftik addressed them
as follows :—" Gentlemen, on Monday this fill will
be debated again, ou its general principle ; whether
that will take place on the engrosiment, or on the
third reading, or whether there may be one debate
or two on the question, I cannot say ; but I hope
every Gentleman, who is inimical to the principle of
this Irish,, will, on that day, make a poiat of attending
in hi:, place." A general assent was echoed through
the lobby to this exhortation.

The zra of BON APAR rE usurping the Imperial
dignity can never erase to be regarded, by the loyal
as well as by the religious, with dread and with ab-
horrence, b.cause he owes Lis elevation equally to
crinics, and to religious apostacy, or atheis-
tical blasphemy. It holds out equal hope to the
most dangerous among infidels, and to the most
atrocious among criminals. What impious dis-
believer, and what bat barous assassin, if favoured by
fortune, has not the same claim to an Imperial sceptre
with a BoN A r art? The plots of the Jacobins, the
writings of a Baissor, the thallrine of a MAIL AT,
and the speeches of a Roaesr cart and his Conven-
tional regicides against all hereditary rank, have not
degraded it half so much as BONAP AR r title and
outrageous ambition. History records no where
before in civilised nations a nameless upstart, who,
with one step, seated himself upon a throne.
Voir A lit has said," that a fortunate soldier was
the rill)? King," bot with the origin of all the reign-
ing houses of modern Princes, every' body is ac-
quainted ; their genealogies, and the atchievements
of their ancestors, have been published for centuries,
and chew the fallacy of die lunch philosopher. It
is trite, all of them descend from illustrious warriors,
who, in combating for their countries, or for their re-
ligions, were knighted, made Barons, Counts, and
Princes; but ages passed away, and repeated aaions
of ,r',ll, of valour, and of virtue, were necessary,
during several generatiens, before they obtained this
last rank ; and then, again, centuries elapsed, before
they became Sovereigns.
The pteseut house of Austria, reigning for three

. . .

hundred years, not oat's' Grand Dukes and Kings,
but as Emperors, descends from the old 'Counts of
Haupsliurgh, whose Nobility dates from the seventh
century. The Emperor 'of Russia, acid the King
of Swarits, are dessendams from the Dukes c:: •

Brunswick, who were illustrious six hundred years

i.N r's Pr. descends fro'n the
Dukes of Oldmburgh, hereditary Snvereighs over
that Duchy, in the twelfth century. The King of
FRANCE and NA VA RISE. LOUIS XVIII. is heir to
sixty-seven Kings of his family ; and the. Kings of
SPAIN, NAPLES, and ETRURIA, areas Bourbons, his
relatives, and of course of a birth equally brilliant.
The King of SARDINIA descends from the Dukes
of Savoy, as the King of PRUSSIA from the Dukes of
Flrandenburgh ; and the ancestors of both these Sove-
reigns wer eindependent and reigning hereditary Dukes
seven hundred years ago. The forefathers of the
Regent of Ponsuo•r. have reigned for 160 years in
that kingdom; and were, 200 year! before, Dukes
of 131 i AG A SEA.
Batipi. Houses of Saxony, Wirtem-
berg, laden, aria, Heue, and Mecklenburgh,
are all equalli ancient.—and their ancestors have
reigned, as Counts 01. Princes, some for seven, and
lessr none for • • • centuries. There is not one of
the present '• Xtinces, Counts, or Barons, in
Germany, ever sci. petty or so poor, who does not
reckon three, four, or five hundred years Nobility.

trious, thi insolent BONAP•IiIi

Let France and Europe remember, ,that In the
space of 160 years Lions the' Augustan period, no
less than seventy Emperors governed Rome; which,
on the average, allows little more than two years to
each.; while, for 1400 years, the Throne Of France
has been Slied with only sixty-seven Kings. Let it
never be forgotten, that the civil convulsions, mbar.
chyt and tyranny, under the reigns of these seventy
Emperors, laid the fotindation for that state of liar.
barium and ignorance, under which Europe groaned
for centnderafterwards—and that it owes its present
civilisation, and advineement in learning and sei..
cum, to the examples and encourakement given by
two of the predecessors of Lours XVIII. ; by
Fesisers I. and Louis XIV. At the death. of
BONAPARTE, the world will be convinced, that the
same bayonets, March have bestowed on him, the su.
premo potter, will give it to his successor; and that
until a 800 a soli be restored to the throne of France,
the hereditary sovereignty belongs to no family, but
to the whole French army; and of course, that every
vacancy of the revolutionary throne will be followed
in the French, as formerly in the Roman empire, by
new disturbances, civil wars, plunders, murders, and
proscriptions.

Extra& of a private letter, dated Vienna, May t 3 :
You may depend upon it as a Get, that all our
troops, except those in Italy, have been ordered by
our SOVEREIGN to hold themselves reads to form
three different grand encampments. The 'Esr ',Lao R
and Archduke CSIARLES will inspeft them; and
they are to remain encamped for three moss he. One
of these camps is preparing near PrAgue, the other
near Pest; and tlemith the plan f.,r the third is not
fixed, it is supposed to be on the frontiers of Bavaria .' '
The 17th Remr,i ment of Foot is at the Isle n:
Wight under orders for the East Indies, where or-
ders have been sent for the return of the skeletons of
the 51st and 74th Regiments of Foot, and for the
~9th Regiment of Dragoons.

of the Line, and the South Devon Militia. are to
