the subject; gad indeed the whole of Mr. CAN_
111 tfs.speech inclined an much more to the side ol
peace than war, that it had the effect of confirm-
ing persons in the necessity of supporting
Mr. WHITSREAIii third resolution. It must
therefore be very gratifying to the country to find,
not only from the number of persons who voted
with Mr. WisivaitEdu, but also from the doclared
sentiments of Mr. PONAOIIIIY. that there is to be
found among persons of the greatest weight and
consideration in the House of Commons, so numer-
s,•
litas and powerful a party, who at-e desirous of mak-
,"Aug every fair sad honourable elfort for the 'years- •
7,tion of mace. The Ministers may. perhaps,
ditiat the same confidence on the ground of certain
qualified declarations, which have been made ou
that subject by Mr. CANNING and by Mr. Wit.-
BERFOIICE, who is so much identified with the
Ministers. But Mr. CAN sitnn's correspondence
on the subject renders it quite impossible to repose
any confidence iu his declarations, and it was with
much surprise, that, after the decided expression
of the sentiments of the manufacturing interest of
Yorkshire. we found that Mr. WiLsEurctficz was
not only the zealous defender of the conduct of Mi-
nisters, in rejecting the rn_diatiou of Austria and
Russia, but also so hostile to the tbird resolution
proposed by Mr. 11-uvrazzan, thdt he wished it
to be met by a direct negative, instead of the pre-
vious question. but which was too violent a mea-
sure. even for Mr.oCANNING, who thought that
he oughtto concur, with Mr. PONSONIY, iu voting
for the previous cotestion, which was the most tno-
Aerate and der:ore:Ls mode of rejecting so important
a., proposition, and as. not being so strong an
tkpres non of hostility to the sentiments which it

will be seen in our report of the proceedings
in the House of Commons, last night, that Sir
JOHN NINPORT ineans to ortng bk•fors Parliament
the recent appointment of Mr. GtrrAaa to the
place of Acconntant•General of the Customs in

}related. The Mr. Gtloe,tati alluded to is not Mr.
GIFFORD the Poet, at,fir. GIFFORD the Anti- I
*shin, but Mr. Gtv6llAlg,tlie Fathor and PrO-
prietor of The DubLis Jowled, remarkable for his
violent speeches in the Common Council of that
city, and his writings in his paper against the
Roues► Catholic claims. When Ministers con-
*timed night after night, in the last session of Par-
liament, in opp-siting a grant of £5OOO to the
Roman Catholic College of Maynooth, the general
liberality of their expenditure of the public money
led Many persons to conclude that it was not the
mere value of the thing that caused the contention.
In the present instance, the. Heenan Catholic+ may
feel that the reward conferred upon one of their
most violent adversaries, is a hint of what they may
expect.

When Ministers brought forward the motion for
a monument to be erected to the memory of the
late Lord LAKE, one of the objections urged by
Mr. BANILES was, that it has not been the custom
to bestow that honour upon any Commander, ex-
cept such as had actually fallen, or been mortally
wounded, in battle. It will be seen, io our Parlia-
mentary Report, that Lord CASTLEREAGH stated,
last in the House of Commons, that upon
'mature consideration of this objection, Mi-
gters bad abandoned the ides. The triumph
iistiasot one of mach importance ; hut if the sub-
were even of less magnitude, the result would
ii:fterd just ground for congratulatioa. It was not
only a triumph of reason, but a concession to pub-.
lie opinion ; for if there be any one virtue, the
practice of which the country expect from Go-
vernment more than another, most assuredly it is
economy, exemplified in a total abstinence from
all superfluous expense.

We give this day an account o;" the late Meeting

terested in American commerce.
