MR. BROUGHAM AND MR. BiTRRO*.

After the proceedings of the lirq day hid ton-
do ied. iu she course of which Mr. Burrow had

Mr. B.ortgliain respecting Mr. Bons field wes false,

Mr. Lambtois to say as mad' to SIG Broughams.
Mr. Lainbion said this wait aisiseersitiry, for he
was authorised to &they'd iranselluately from Mr.
Burrow, that he would moue a blend who should
settle the time and plaice of a meeting with Mr.
Brum&lawn...a-Mr. Burrow then said that lie did
not Iwititate to decline the demand--tbat he was
a family man, and could nut with propriety ac-

mentioned that the Lowther party had ,not only
twee' oltstrepolons iii their applause or this Mr.
Barrow when lie had made his charge in the ab-
sence on Mr. Brougham, but also after he bid been
conaraletely bullied by the plain statement of this
gentleman, and by his own confused explanation
on the busting.. We should also add, that
Mr. Lambtoss was authorized by Mr. Brougham
to tell Mr. Burrow that he would not demigod ally
explanation from him, if he would discover at
..hose instigation he had made Ilie false and blun-
dering charge against him. We have deemed it
right to give insertion to this statement, but we
must add, 'lost the only part of Mr. Burrow's
conduct of which we disapprove, is, his making
the unfounded charge at the hustings—in refus-
ing the unlawful demand of satisfaction which
Mr. Brougham made in compliance with the ab-
sisrd rules of society, and what are called the
laws of honour, we think lie acted right. But
then if a man is resolved to do so, he has no
title to keep a foul tongue in his mouth ; and no-
thing eaui be snore u ally than fur a man to offer
tetsults with the deitrinin.ition to shelter himself
afterwards behind the law, whicls lie has in fact been
the first to break. As for those who were heard en-
couraging this gentleman, we would ram hope that
they are the catr.e of his misconduct. Ile charged

letter. and Nlr. Bouslielil had t•ild I • (Mr. Bur-

abatement in ll+ later. Three could be therefore
tin possible difficulty in Mr. barrow raying that
his charge of lalselitaxl was wet memo fur Mr.
Brougham, for if it pointed ,at any body it was
at Mr. Duandielal,—Yet the Lowther agents and
supporters thought they bed got hold of too pod
a prize—namely; a man (and, we believe, of great
respechibiltiy) who would abuse Mr. Brougham to
his face. They urged and cheered him on, and
prevented him from getting out of the scrape in the
way in which he ought to have dame. by admitting
he was mistaken. Oil their heads, far more thou

Acyonnts from Alsace say, that in the course of
this month, 1.000 or 1,400 mess of the Austrian
contingent of the Army of Occupation, coo eeeee aird-
erl by General Frio ssssss t, have returned to Ger-
many, and have not hitherto been replaced by
others. t,2 r v ern! detachments front the Bavarian
contingent have also returned home. The French
infer from these circumstance*, with enrich satisfre-

Since the return of the Duke of Wellington to
his head-quarters, he has sent couriers to Loudon

The Mitiister of War has lately had a number
of horses purchased fur the light aiiil titan. cavalry.
It has been banal on this 01:11:611.I011, that the num-
ber of good and serviceable horses is snitch greater
than could have been tutegitied, after such long and
destructive wars.

New itistructiuns have !seen received in regard to
the destination of the officers on half-pay. It is
now calculated that their number may amount to
between twenty-five and twenty-six thousand ; of

vetANKroRT, JUNE 29.

In the sittivg of the Diet on the 22d, a long
Report was delivered for the introduction of a
law•, tending to pre.erve autli.irs mud publishers,
throughout the whole extent of the German Cm-
federatiou, against owes by literary piracy. The
affair is put inio the hands of the Ministers Mar-
tins, Berkheini, and Berg, who are charged with
drawing up this law.

AMMO., JUNE 79._

We learn that the encouraging resolution of his
Majesty of the 11th of May last, in which he was
pleased, in a highly flattering manner, to invite the
Society 'I For Cr;sera Utility," to establish Sav ug
Banks, has had a happy effect in the Aritheint divi-
sion. In our of its list sittings, it resolved on es-
tablishing such a bank at Arnheim, and is now em-
ployed in considering of the most suitable means to
tarry it into effect. These establishments have had
a very puppy influence in England and Scotland,
bring very well adapted to promote morality and
frugality among all classes. Mechanics, servants,
&c. may place weekly even very .mall aunts its
them, and, when they please, receive them back
witii interest. We hope we shall soon be able to
give a further account of this Bank fur Savings at
A riiheim.

BRUSSELS, JULY 1.
It is positively assled that the Duke of Welling-
ton has hired a hotel in this city for his Bureaux.
This circumstance gives reason to presume that his
Grace will fix his abode here. Nothing, however,
is said of the time or m inner.
There is kill in the Austrian service a small
number of subaltern officer, and soldiers, born in
SelKisto, mostly covered with honourable wounds,
which they received in the four bloody wars be-
tween Austria and France. Such of these warriors
as request permission to whim home, obtain it im-
mediately, and receive from the Austrian Govern-
ment a present of two years pay. From time to
time some of theta arrive here.

WEDNESDAY, JULY a, 1818.

It is the opinion of persons most conversant with
the routine of Parliamentary busineas, that it will
he necessary for the new Parliament to meet about
the end of October or beginning of November.—
This opinion is grounded upon the presumption
that there will be a great number of Petitions
against the returns to the House of Commons,
which vs II necessarily divide the attention of the
House with the ordinary public business, and re-
quire an cooly arrangement. The Minister will
also hove to feel the pulse of the New Members,
and ascertain whether they be amiable or not, prior
to the introulitcrion of any favourite and important
measure. The. house will present the old scene,
but there a ill many new actors ; and it is ne-
cessary to he acquainted with their talents before
he can east the parts. The late coMplisy had de-
clined sadly in wit aid eloquence. We trust that
a large portion of both, to make up fur the defi-
ciency, will be found in the new reeruitse

that they have mutually apprised each other ni their

avowed objects) be making more than is piece of
political inummerh, for the purpose of impiessiog
" the million" willi ideas cI• 1111 l archival wisdom,
and of tile close union ►ub.istiug between the
Allied Sovereigns,
An article front the Freni•h frontiers proves that
the hopes which snore time since had been held nut
to the half-pay ofti.•rrs of Fr-.race, hive not !wen
realised, for it appears that out of about 25 or
26,000 men, the supposed aluitilier of this body
of site.., nut more than 3110 have been lila ed in
active service. Oise of the advantagts hoped to
lie derived from the late measure of n.(44116114 the
French army was, that it would gitfr rotploystietti
to this body of ineo, who were regonled as claim-
germ's to the State from the desperation of their
fortunes. After such a declaration, we look upon
it 1111 extremely cruel to ;li*appoit►t their hopes.
Something not very dissimilar has been dour in this
country, to which we think the general attention
ought to be directed. as a mutter am cting not only
our character but our finances. It CAMBIA be tor-
gotten how affectingly the 51iiiisters, when forced
to adopt measures of economy, lamented the situ-
ation of the thousand gallant and aspiring young
officers of our army, who were by the reduction of
our military establishment deprived cif the moms
of u comfortable livelihood, and interrupted in the
purseit of professional honours. To this it was
observed by the Opposition in Parliament, that
the evil would be but of short duration, and
that the vicissitudes of human life, and of the
military service, would enable the Commander-
in-Chief to bring Lack to their respective re-
giments, iu the order of their milk, the officers
who might be included in the reduction. In sub-
sequent debates upon the necessity of economy, we
distinctly remember having bea' Lord CASTLE-
RRAGII and Lord PALMERSTON, in the House of
Common', declare, that Ministers had resolved to
act on this suggestion. And even Lord CASTLE-
REAGH, in calculating the probable diminution of
the estimates in subsequent years, spoke of the ne-
cessary diminution of the half-pay lists in conse-
quence of the transfer of the half-pity officers to ac-
tive service in their respective regiments, as vacancies
might chance to occur. We would even ask of any
gentleman in the War-Office, whether this promise
has been fulfilled, and whether the claims of half-
pay officers who have nobly maintained the honour
of their country during the arduous campligns of
the Peninsula, who can skew a long list of suffer-
ings and services, who have enthusiastically fought
and bled fg•r our security, are nut every day post-
poned to persons whose only merit consirts in the
length of their purses ? We shall not dwell upon
the ingratitude or cruelty of such a proceeding, but
let the public reflect upon the immense charge to
a hich such u line of conduct subjects th► country.
We thereby, in fac►, pay two sets of officerr, and
are burdened with an enormous half-pay list,
which, had Ministers but kept their I tttttt hises,
would by this time have been almost annihi-
lated. There considerations, we fear, will have but
little influence upon our rulers ; but let thorn It,
fleet upon the number of gallant and entorprising
young fellows whom their conduct, In regard to
this point, has driven across the Arlanl r, to swell
the ranks of the Independents in South America.
Perhaps regard fur their ally. the King of State,
might effect what motives of justice, gratitude, and
economy are incapable of achieving.
The example of this country, in establishing
banks for savings, ham, we find, been followed in
the Netberlauds. One of these invaluable institu-
tions has been formed at Aritheitn, and they will,
no doubt, be multiplied among a people uni-
formly distinguished by their industry and ftu-
guilty. We are happy to state, that in this
country they are rapidly increasing, and cc
trust by the benevolent exertions ol• the clergy
and gentry, that Hot a parish will he found in the
great extent of the Empire, not possessed of a Sacs
ing Batik. Such institutions are she only menu" by
which the country can hope to counteract the per-
nicious effects of our Poor Laws, which operate
only as an eat ouragentent to idleness, profligacy,
and extravagatice.
