BRITI S H PRES S.

LONDON,
SA TUMMY, MARCH 13, 1819.

We have received Paris Papers of Tuesday
last, An article from Frankfurt states, that
a demand has been made before the Germanic
Diet of a cettaits sum of money due to per-
suns in this country, who had lent several
millions of livres to the Cardinal de Rouali to
pay fur the celebrated diamorid necklace which had
et one time excited the attention of all Europe, as
involving in no small degree the moral character of
the unfortunate Queen MARIE A mit s Erre,. The
lands then mortgaged fur the payment of this
debt have, in the revolutions of mates, now fallen
into the hands of the Grand Duke of BADEN, who,
however, refuses to acknowledge the justice of the
demand, and withholds payment.

The noose of Commons proceeded last night in
the investigation of the charge against the Ilan.
WYNDHAM Quilt. The [louse was crowded as
on the preceding iiight, and evinced the same
anxious attention to the deposition of the witnesses.
The injunction against publishing any part of
such statements at the bar as relate in anywise
to the merits of the case under consideration, was
again enforced last night, with, if possible,
an increased solemnity ; for those retrial ks re-
specting the illegality of such publications, which
un the previous night proceeded only from a
private Member, were repeated last night by
the SPEAKER. The witnesses examined were—
Mr. MANSELL, a bunker in the city of Limericks
father-in-law to the Petitioner, Mr. CRADY,
and a relative of Mr. QUIN—Mr. GARRETT, Mr.
RICKARD SMITII. and Mr. CAREW SMYTH, who
was aptitt called in, and re-examined with great
precision with reference to his statement pf the pre-
ceding night.
Mr. GRADY, Jun. was last night ordered into
the custody of the tierjeaut at Anne of the House
of Commons, for having insulted Mr. COOED in the
witnesseo-rount, and thieatesting to kick Inin.

The recent proceedings of the House of Corn.
mons ate calculated in a peculiar degree to assert
its dignity, and gratify the real mitt rineere friends
of Virliantentary Behan'. Corruption and undue
influence in the exercise of tli, elective franchise
have been held out as exiting by tacit convent ;
but the results of the l'enryn and Barnstaple Peti-
tions snort redeem Parliament from that reproach,
if indeed it could ever have been justly cart upon
it. The pure exercise of the elective franchise
would presume u perfect state of society to which
no country ever attained. lf, then, stone men may
give their voter front corrupt IMAM'S, it dots
not follow that the Kumla system rliould cease
to exist. If corruption be panirlicil wherever it
is proved, nothing more can be expected. The
House of Commons in every such moaner doer its
duty, and the public cannot complain if 09rue:ea
pass unpunirhed which have never came within its
kilo%

ledge.

His Royal Highness Prince LEOPOt., remained
at Coburg on the :Nth of Febrourr, as also her
Imperial Highness the Cr.ind Duchess CONSTM4-
TINE.
