HYDE PARK.

After enlarging ul.ou the importance of the pri-
vilege enjoyed by the inhabitauts of the rut tropobs,
in walking in this park, Mr. Creev.y then alluded
to the applications that bad ben made through
Mr. Fordyce, the Surveyor-General, for leave to
erect buildings thereon. He understood that these
applications had been made by 'tenants of different
political principle'., but that was uo argument
against the impropriety of grantiog them. There
had been applications made by Lord Stair, the
Secretary at War, the Duke of Bedirwd, Mr. tha-
w:. and others, in all shoot 8 persous. Did the
Right Hon. Gentleman oppo..ite believe that these
$ homes would be the last that would be sought
for, when it was found out that the Surveyor-Gene-
ral had the power of granting the privilege of build-
ing? It was totally impossible to my where the
increase of building would stop. The object of
less present motion was merely to procure the cor-
respondence with Mr. Fordyce and the Lords of
the Treasury, sit order to follow it up afterwards
with an address to His Majesty, praying that he
could be graciously pleased to prevent Ali.. For-
dyce rocking any arrangement., as to buildings its
I lyde Park, different from those formerly observed.
He then coscluded with moving fir copies of all
correspondence, between John Fordyee, Eaq. Sur-
veyor-General of Crown lands, and the LortisCom-
ninisiouers of the Treasury, upon the subject of
conveying lands in Hyde Park Lyon building
leases.

Mr. ilansurx TSACRY seconded the motion.
He thought the admitting of flay additional build-
ings in Hyde Park, would only be opening a door
fur partiality and corruption.
The CHANCLI.Loa of the EACIIVIVILII gave his
negative to the :notion, as there wail no ground 11
whatever laid for it, and it would be throwing !
out a reflection upon. His Majesty. to suppose that
.he was intending to act contrary to what he had
hitherto done. It was at all events premature. as
oo application had in fact been made to lint Ma-
jesty upmi the subject.
Mr. Wii,c1111•11 thought it afforded but little se-
curity to the Wine, whelk the Right Honourable
Gentleman stated it was the intention of the Tt ea-
sury to oppose soy plan for converting the Park
luta streets, squares, or ranges of building. The
assurance should come from another quarter. and
this assurance should be made iminedimitely ; for
should Parliameat neglect to he %misfit' ou this
head Dow, the recess intervening, the evil they had
now anticipated would then be realised, and the
remedy would he ton late. when the plan 144,1 beta
acted upon. He did not mean to °Next to the
right or privileges of the Crown, iu this respect;
he was only worry that any such plan had been pro;
po.ed. The strongest ar.zument urged against this
plan of encroachment, and that totally unanswered
by the Right Honourable Gentleman, was, that
, theme buildings would encroach on. and destroy,
the priociple of vei4etatiou, in that part of the ground
not occupied by them. It was necessary to vege-
tattoo there should be a large and extensive space
of open ground to permit free circulation of air,
and inch an extensive space was also of tha,utinomit
importance to the inhabitants of this t'.ty. Fresh
air was a liquor to which the greater part of Lon-
doners were perfect strangers,: the) never inhaled
it—hut wi.at little they hs4i, of as inferior quality,

pede the growth of etre the hardiest tares ; and

of the Cit.'s mode of settiug of Lis little acre of
ground with temples, aleuves, bridges, &c. until
the gnome wei swallowed up by the oroamenta.
lie was not incliued to think that a citizen, who
had set out ou Sunday evening from ‘Vhitechapel
to the Park, by winch thee he had enough of
lincews ea Isecithl. would complain the Park
fueled lowly for went of theta. The beauty of'
the Park had beau, he admitted, much improved
by the taste of the Renger, and hence perhaps
some thought so much bed Levu done to im-
prove it, that all efforts to *pod it would prove in-
effectual. It did appear rather suepieilets, that
the matter should have proceeded so far, end yet
the public should be enepprised of the intended
alteration •, so far the matter did not look well ;
and this silence must necessarily bear its comment.
Nor was it just thus to moose! Its -as it mutt tend
to depreciate its peke, not being laid open to
competition ; and that most injurious mode of as-
certaining the validity of any men's testimony, by
means of his own oath, was again to be resorted to,
iu order to ascertain the value of the ground.—
This species of appraising, on the oath of • party
interested most probably iu its reduction, was in-
judicious and injurious. He secollected that bl-
inder encroachments had once been made in the
Gardens of the Pelee; Ito) ale, near Paris, and they
had excited a degree of odium upon this exertion
of the Royal prerogative, which lie hoped would
never exist here. It could not be denied that the
Royal Palace of St James here had some of the
necessary requisites for a Royal residence, as laid
down by the Right Honourable Gentieman, for if
it were not like a Loyal residence, it certainly was
like nothiog else upon earth. IA laud laughs.—.
Though it was, venerable for its antiquity, vet it
had hot much oriel former celebrity, by falling of ,
late years into alino-t total disuse. The Parks
were now the only distingiiirliing feature of Royal
splendour. He protested agoilist the encroach-
ment, as injurious to the country, derogatory to
the Crown, and prejudicial to the heights of the
inhabitants of this city.
Mr. SUEIIDAN said, that, 'getting with every
word that had fallen from his Right lion. Friend,

But the more he hail looked at the subject. and the
more he hail coneened with isitelligeut peewee,
entertaining the Caine ideas he did. the more he
had been convim:ed that, uoty,itlisteodiug the dif-
ferent plans that had been favourably entertained,
it ought to be a preliminary and peremptory rev,-
lutien, to recoonneud that not a single square foot
should be cribbed from either of the three parks,
for architectural pnrposes, upon any plea or pre-
tame whatever—for he perfectly agreed with his
Right Hoo. Frieud that it would be inipoeeible to
stop, if once the innovation was Legua. The pre-
sent Chancellor of the Exchequer cud the present
Surveyor-Ocoee-II might adopt a hunted scheme,
but others migiat fellow them, not bound by
their limitations. A house in the park would be
the universal object of wealthy ainbitiou—half the
tine ladies would dieuver that they could not
breathe in any other—Grosvenor-square, in a few
years, would be considered only as a better sort of
St. Giles's, and the result would be, at no distant
peeled, plenty of palaces for our Peers, but neither
ride nor walk for the people ; therefore prisseipiis
semi. The Cliaocellor of the Exchequer, be
thought, had acted with perfect candour ou the
present occasion, and he was happy to find that he
did not seem disposed to pledge himself to any sup-
port of the plan which had prods weilobie discussi•ii,
But be must express his astonishment at .VdrUlltg
that the Treasury knew nothing of the busiuess till

ventare to draw out plans, to treat with individual*,
to settle the terms of purchase for plots of land iu

THE BRITISH PRESS.

LONDON,
FRIDAY. Jvi.v I.

The Oottenburgh mail, iinc on NVednesday,
arrived last night. Sir JOHN MOORE. had not re-
turued to that city from Stockholm. Our expedi-
tion, which arrived there nn the lith of May, was
still in Gottenburgh Roads, awl, cc, °sling to re-
port, would reittaila there until on answer was
received from England to dispatches tent off on
the 11-2 d. We 'are cancer.ied to flirt that our
troops ate sickly. The German Legion. partieu-
l.tr'l. has soferesi from the ague. Austria and
Russia are reported to be again preparing for war
with France. A demand of the shares of ['Maud,
in the possession of these two Powers, is the cause
assigned for this change; but it has been more
probably influenced by the recent events in the
South of Europe. lit Finland the Russians con-
tinued their retreat dawn to the 3d nit. and on the
side of Nosway, the Danes were the assailants so
lota as the 14th.

The Stipendiary Curates' Lill was rejected 114
ni4lit in the Howe of Lords, after some debate.—
An interesting conversation also took place upon
the state of Spain.

Every day and hoar that elapse, tend to con-
trols those reasonings on the actual coudltinn of 1313-
wmparrn, and on the probable consequences of
his rearm conduct, which we have presented to our
readen. It is possible, as has been insinuated to
Ys, that souse of the papers given to the public, as

coining from the Spanish insurgents, nay have

been fabricated or altered here in Loudon. We
even admit. that there is some appearance of terror,
if not afratul, in certain of thex publications.—

Nor do we fondly anticipate either the defection of
the French from NsfroLEofeaStautiard ; nor a gt.-
Sacral insurrection of the indignant Continent against
this monster ; however stained oith crimes or black
with enormities he may appear to all insitki ad. We !
patiently wait, in firm confidence, and in animated '
hope, that his career will be arrested, though it
should not be terminated. We exult iw the insur-
reenern of the Spaniards, because it is the moral as
well as the physica! rising of a people against ty-
ranny, violence, and perfidy. It is like the rebellion
of the I.•o't Countries against Pilule 11. and his
Lieutenant, the cowl Duke of ALVA, who was
.anther Mu a AT in rho 16th century; where, however
unequal was the coutest, the oppressor, though sus-
tained by military fitree, discipline, and the trea-
sures of Loth the Indies, was, nevertheless, finally
beaten by a rabble, driven to despair. We believe
that weither the Emperor of Russia nor the King of
DeNtittti dare to meet the abhorrence and repro-
bation of eery peasantin their dominions, by lung
coutinuiag to act as the tools and engines of a man
so universally odious as the Corsican Emperor of
the FILENCH. We do not doubt that Austria will
de:lare against liaxarsaex, if the Spaniards can
maintain a struggle of only a few weeks. We are
recta persuaded, that in France itself, however sub-
dued, wearieilt and exhausted by a perpetual revo-
lution of nineteen year., that country may be,
syniptonis of reluctance to be lon,;er propelled
from war t.) war, anti from enormity to enormity,
a ill soon disclose themselves. Finally, we think
that a new cud a more auspicious period way com-
mence, and that out of the very bosom of crime
tray arise the safety amid tranquillity of Europe.—
Such are the ways of Providence.
But, after having *tilted oor opinions. our hopes,
and oar conjectures, we will now proceed to enu-
merate some of those facts upon which we build j
our expectations. We have asserted that 'Nero-
r.can, w his recent acts, has deviated from his j.
characteristic prudence, sagacity, and subtlety. 1
In support of that fact, there is the evidence of ht;
own admission. tr.a tin: weakest, or the vainest of
the Loessons. did Louts the Focal IiENTH, at
any period a his reign, hoarser into:noted with
Pottery, or with conquest, ever allow hunselt; in a
State Paper, published under his immediate 'or-
ders. so fir to insult common sense and mankind,
as to put iato the month of a i• deputation" froin
the Council of State of a great kingdom, such
words as these "'lour Ittaitarrr constitutes a
part of the family destined by Providence to go-
vent." Statreely ca.& we believe that expressions so
calculated to revolt every man who dares to think,
could have he addressed to the brother of a Cor-
sican officer, who, twelve years ago, was hardly
distinouisheil from the crowd of revolutionary as-
pirers to military emit)°, menu, May we not safely
infer, that COM APAILTIL is 130 longer under the in-
tuence. either of that cool and iliocerning jodgo
meta. or of those aide and artful Ministers. 'vbs.
hove hitherto repressed his cenistitnt:enn.l ferocity,
anti directed 1. II march to the c...iience that he
1116"..eoccocies? 11 ealst Tatts:Yastio, for instance,

have advised either etch an imnrodent and ineaa-
tiouii disclosure of his intentions and designs?
has TALLETRAND vproved the pre-ent flagitious
attempt to entrap, subject, and make over the
Spaniards to JOSEPH BONAPARTE?
We know, from good authority, that the Es-
Bishop of AIJTUN and his master sic at complete
variance. NAPOLEON, though for reasons of policy,
sutf►ciently obvious, he still employs TALLES-
BAND, is no longer directed by his counsels. As
long ago as the mouth of January, lust year, TAL-
I.F.TEAND attempted to stop his career, and to in-
dace him to impose souse fixed limit or boundary
to his ambitious Views. lie has declined in the
Imperial favour and confidence since that time.
Relative to the journcyto Bayonne, and the nef►-
rious plans for entrapping, deposing, and imprison-
ing the Royal Family of Spain, TALLITRAND was
not consulted. But his disapprobation of those
attempts, not from their immorality or their turpi-
tude, but from their imprudence and danger, is
perfectly well known. In fast, BoNAPAwrL has
left him behind at Paris, and did not even allow him
to be• witness of the proceedings against Cm aetas
SLR FOURTH, and FERDINAND the SEVENTH.
As little does his brother Loners approve, or
lend any countenance to, the horrors sad atroci-
ties of NAPOLEON. Even his mother LETITIA, it
is understood, has remonstrated with him, and en-
d, scoured to inculcate ino.leration. But he
spurns advice, nn IC's than he tramples on morality,
and violates tile laws of honour, gratitude, and
faith. Inasmuch as lie so acts, he precipitates his
own fall ; and though it may not be immediate,
vet wo may safely assert, that his treatment of
the Kt mc and nation of Spain hare rudely shaken
that throne u hich he had apparently fixed on the
vanquished necks of so many European Sovereigns
and States. Our limits do not permit us to en-
large further on this subject this day. We may
resu►se it soon.

It was reported. yesterday, that the Spanish pa-

eery. Ten thousand Patriots fell victims on this
day, and the 'French did not rebut iu their eser-
stioas until the whole of the Spanish force was

in which he assured the Spanish nation, that no
