there wore at present Ig,ooo persona confined for,

concluded with moving, 8. That leave be given to

Mr. PEnesv At, said, hr had no objection to the
motion, but thought the suggestion to adopt a re-
gulation to strict Members in framing their Bills
might materially interfere with their privileges.
The SPEAKER said, it had been the custom, in
tall times, iirr Members to prepare their Bills in
their own terms. Whether the douse might think
proper to make a new regulation upon the subject.
it was a question which rested with themselves :
but if any clerk had misbehaved himself, it was an
offence which ought not to be pardoned.
After a few words from Mr. Wttottatroact soil
Mr. Witursis, leave was given to bring iu the Bill.

Mr. FOOTER called the attention of the House to
the subject of the Bogs of Ireland, which he acted
were capable of improvement. The tabling such a
quantity of ground was of great inwortance, and
that it could be made capable of cultivation, was
not difficult to prove. The Bog of Allen, throuali
which a canal had been cat, was Iwo feet above the
level of the sea, which 'hewed se,hiicieutly that it
could be drained. If this were the case, it -might

Mr. HAWKINS tiIIOWNE supported the Bill, and

Mr. WINDHAM expressed his disapprobation of
some of the general excursions in which the I ton.
Baronet indulged; he felt it necessary to offer u few
observations upon die question before them, not-

cite much interest. In die present temper of the
comitry nothing could command attention, at least

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY, MAY 3.

A Gottenburgh Moil arrived yesterday with let-
ters and papers from that city to the 2.stit last, the
contents of which are not of any importance. Go-
vernment at the same time received dispatches
brought by a messenger, who came in the packet
the Lori Nebo's, with the mail.

There has not occurred, in our opinion, for
long time pant, a more important or more interest-
ing debate. than that of Monday night, in the
Douse of Coniunons. Its result we consider us a
triumph over Ministerial artifice and Treasury
evasion. Neither Nlr. PERCEVAL nor Mr. Rolm:
could contrive to induce the House to procrastinate
the account deinauded from the Dutch Commis-
sioners, who have to indecently insulted the public,
and retained, or appropriated to their own use, the
funds of which they were meant to have been the
guardians and •investigators. AVe regard the
adoption of Mr. THORNTON't Reim!anion, however
mutilated, by inserting the word " omission," in
',lace of the word " neglect," to be a real triumph
over Administration. It is sufficiently apparent to
every man who reads the speeches of the CHAR-
r:ELLoa of the Excs tousit. and of Gstoana Rose,
that their whole object was to defeat and to decry
the motion of Mr. Oda. With a view to effect it,
the former actually moved the previous questiun;
while kthe latter only deprecated "ally hasty or
strong censures upon government ;" disclaimed all
p. roma' knowledge of Mr. Joey Bowies ; vowed
to God that he had never read any of his anti-
ja. ohm pamphlets ; and endeavoured in prove that
it was better to wait tin the time of the Commission
was expired, in older to ascertain tlio extent of the
compensation due t0,.0r of the reparation due from,
the Commissioners. Mr. Rose well knows that
delay, smith Ministers, is defeat to all inquiry or
punishment. It was so under the ►ate Mr. PITT,
when Mr. Hose conducted, with such recognised
talents, tlie Treasury department, as connected
with the representation in Parliament. But times
are changed. The Ministerial majorities are
shaken. and dwindle every week. An hour of ac-
count is obviously approaching, if not imminent. —.
Though the attempt made a few nights ago, to stop
the future practice of granting reversions, was
thrown out by Ministers; and though they were
able, while they admitted the guilt of their worthy
colleague, Loud CASTLEREAGH, to shelter him from
the merited consequence, expulsion; they cannot
much longer insult public opinion, or persist to
justify, or to perpetuate. abases. If they will not
perceive this truth, they will feel its effects ere
long. It is admitted by the blouse of Commons,
that " the Dutch Commissioners have appropriated
to themselves a part of the public money, and have
not accounted for their trust."

Mr. Jour+ Bow Les. This outrageously virtuouv
man, and furiously loyal subject, whvi wrote a long
pamphlet of abase upon the memory of the late
Duke of BLDTOID, one of the most valitable cha-
racters that this country has for a long time pro-
duced ; this said Mr. Bowtes, who now stands N.
iii his proper colours, like another ibigria,
may probably try his hand at one more pamphlet
on the present occasion, in er.culpation of himself
and his brother Commissioners.
