WEDNESDAY, MARSII 14.
Mr. C. IV. WYNN having moved that the report on the
subject be entered as read, proposed the resolution for adoption -
of the house, that on no one day there be read above 20 orders of
the day.—Agreed to.
AUSTRIAN LOAN.—Nfr. JAMES presented a petition from
the inhabitants of Liverpool and its neighbourhood. He did not
know what sort of petitions would now be received, since the
house was in the habit of rejecting the petitions of portions of the
people. The petitioners complained of the distresses under
which the country laboured; but they iesulted from over taxation
anit the; co-dit not but recommend the calling in the debt from
the imperial defaulter, the Emperor of Austria. That debt was
18 or 19 millions ; it had been wrongly calculated in the papers
laid before the house. They added, that it would be well to
enforce the repayment of the loan now, as Austria could afford
to engage in such unwarrantable inroads upon the privileges of
other countries. Ile could not but believe that the ministers
were parties to this Holy. Alliance, and that they desired the
destruction of the cause in which Naples had so patrioticolly
engaged. Petition mad.
Mr. WROTIF,SLEY did not know what the hon. member
(Mr. James) meant in saying that the petitions of portions of
the people were rejected ; Ibr his part he thought that the doors
had never been thrown more open to the people of England.__
As to a petition presented on a former night by the honourable
member, it had been very properly rejected ; but that rejection
was no proof of the indisposition of tile house to receive petitions.
After some remarks from Mr. F. Palmer, the petition was
ordered to be printed.
Dr. PH I 1.1.1 MORE obtaiaed leave to bring in a bill to amend
the marriage act.
Mr. CH ET WYNDE brought his motion respecting the ex-
pences resulting to the country from the passing of vagrants.—
fliere were no less than 48 acts on the subject. The system was
most defective, particularly those portions of it that regard the
the passin., of vagrants, the rewards olFued for their apprehension.
&c. if the laws were of so anainalous a character, he thought
he had established the necessity of investigating the laws on this
subject, and he therefore moved that they be referred to a select
conornittce to report their opinions, &c.
Mr. I LA.RBORD admitted the necessity of investigation on
the subject, and of a revision of the laws. In support of the
position, he esierted that in St. Georgs's, Ilanover Square, there
were six constables and 12 beadles, who apprehended 23 vagrants,
while six persons belonging to the meridicity society, in like
trine, apprehended 267 vagrants.
Motion ogre it to, and committee appointed.
Mr. R. SMITH then brought forward his motion on the sub.
ject of tile Austrian loan. Since 1197 not one farthing had been
paid either of principal or interest; and in interest alone this
country now suinually lost above one million. Ile adverted to
the debates that had taken place on the subject—the high pro.
rinses of Mr. Pitt, and tile suspicion of Mr. Fox ; the latter on
one occasion having quoted the confederacy, applying it to this
transaction—that the price was no subject of argument; all that
was haggled about was the day of payment."—(blear, and a
laugh .)-11e considered that this subject, more than ever, called
tin the iuterlereace of the house, especially when land owners
could hardly call their estates their own ; and he therefore
deemed it incumbent on parliament to express its opinion
decisively on this subject. Austria had experienced great
advantages to sustain its finances; in truth, its finances
were in a very improved condition. Its Italian states seemed to
be deemed only as objects of plunder; and the war which it
threatened against. Naples, impaativt:l taxed on the house to
ask why their loan was not repaid P—(Bear:)—lt was also in •
cumbent on the house to adopt sonic step of this kind, to show
to Europe that England was not the secret friend of such trans.
actions as Austria was engaging in. Austria, let it lie remem-
bered, showed us no favour in her custom-house or other regu
lations ; we were as severely dealt with as any other nation.--
He concluded with moving for topics of any correspondence on
the subject ber.veen the courts.
l.ord CAS I'LEIIEAGII had no objection to the motion. As
to the non, though, with interest, it had been named at 16 or
17 millions, the loan was only about tour tenuous. This go
veinment, however, as would appear fithrs the correspondence.
had nut omitted to demand the repayment with full vigour.
Sir J. N wpatur said, it was no reason that the business
should nut be discussed now Lecause it was agitated elsewhere in
1515. It ought to be recollected that die first principle of the
holy alliance, into which this country had entered, was good
taith—the keeping of engagements him had been solemnly en-
tered into. Mr. Fox had prophesied that this debt would be a
debt for ever--..ltat it never would be repaid, Mr. Pitt was hurt
that the good faith of such a power should be questioned; and it
now becanie those on whom the mantle tit dl e. Pitt had de.
to see that his engagements were fultilled.—(Hear.
hear.)—Motion agreed to.
ARMY ESTI MATES.—The house having resolved into a com-
mittee of supply, the consideration of the army estimates was
XeSUMLKI.

Mr. MACDONALD rose to redeem the pledge he had given
oa a limner evening. He proposed to reuuce the force about
20,000. lie considered, that, according to the showing of the
gentfeinen opposite, ft.s,uno for the colonies, and 35,000 men
tut home service, would be amply sufficient. If the artillery
were Included, there would be 05,01X0 wen. But if the various
forces and !Malls were taken into consideration, and it internal
CICCUUIItatICCS ►hued require such force, there could soon be
called into action two hundred thousand men, and should the
house think that reduction of expence was absului."ly requisite,
there was no other course to pursue, than that of resisting such
giants, enormous grants, as those now proposed. Ile con Wetted
that the question was now about to be finally settled ; he hoped
the !loose wouid vied it in such light, and iie therefore concluded
with moving. that instead of bt,ooo men, there should be
granted i l.(KhO men.
Sic 11. VI VIA N contended that the reduction proposed could
nut be supported.
Mr. HUME observed, that if the noble lord admitted what
he I misused, it' the drill were reduced us was now propsed, the
government would tie indeed strut's:. As to the proceedings of
the other evening, they were those of the unreasonable persons
who resisted ; tur was it to be borne that millions were to be
voted away after one and two o'clock. No ; such things were
nut to be done now.

Sir R. Wilson, Sir R. Ferguson. and Mr. Evans, supported
the amendment.

Lunt PALM EttsTos opposed it, and argued the necessity
of voting toe number or torn named to the rt.uol tutor.
Mr. (t it 11,1;11'1-J5 bappirted rite atueulutent.

upon reading the resolution, a motion fur reducing the numbei

A long discussion followed, in which Lord Palmerston,

Mr. PEEL opposed the mea.nie, which he contended
could not be adopted with( tit danger to the established
church.
Mr. CANNING rove, awl said, that it was impossible
to look to the laws as they at present stood without seeing
that they contained the seeds of inevitable progression
or of inevitable struggle to make them more effectual,—
The argument asknow taken as if their had been nothing
else but a spiritual connexion with a fot vigil power; but
it was not so; it bad always been made pound of charge
ag.tiust the Homan Catholic that he had also enteriained
a political predelietion for a foreign poteutate. It was
necessary to fix upon smile teat that would discover the
Papist who was ready to restore the exiled family to the
throne. It was devised to detect him by the oath nitres'.
substantiation. Was his creed his guilt 1 No. Hut his
creed designated the man, and his guilt consisted in his
foreign attachment. Would any inaii pretend to assert
that that attachment existed at pi use=d 1 Ni; it wait gone;
because the object of his attachment was Fro more. But
lie who maintained the doctrine of transubstantiation was
still to be made the subject of penal laws! The right
hon. gent. then pro' eeded to state, that the reformation,
notwithstanding all the blessings it hail bestowed neon
the country, had been tainted by malty acts of injustice
and inutile' persecution. It had been asserted that it was
impossible fur a Homan Catholic to enter into full enjoy•
moist apolitical rights without feeling it to be his duty
to overturn the ecclesiastical F atablistiments ol the country.
To give the Catholic the elective franchise at the souse
tune that you denied him every thing else; to make him
an elector at the same time that you rendered bile inca-
pable of being elected, was not the way to bind Ireland
to the rest of the empire in ties of affection. But some
gems. %vete afraid that when thia was clime, those permute
who had s'ood by the consthrilion while they enjoyed its
benefits partially, would rise up against it if they were
admitted to the lull participation of it. This was nut
likely. At present the constitution was to them negative
and repalsive. Then it would be positive and full of ad.
vantage. The right lion, gent. limn said that government
had frequently promised to tilled the I' ay..rs of the Roman
Catholics, but insist of doing so, hail as often heated

FLORENCE, Fey. 23.—Thc Austrian army is
now for the most part past. It cannot in the field
consist of 40,000 combatants, and, with the excep-
tion of about 6,000, the infUntry is contemptible.
The :lain of followers is so great, that it resembles
more an Indian than an EUI OpCall army. The en-
thusiasm of the army is extreme. The people are
united to a wan, and all well armed. Indeed an
Italian population is truly formidable. Every per-
son has the right to shoot, and scarcely one is with-
out a gun, and he well knows the use of it. The
Austrian army is thoroughly and openly dispirited
A German courier of mine mixed in all their ranks,
and ilium' the four of the enemy, and of his means of
defence, to possess them all. Four towns have
been, by a brief of the Pope, declared to he in the
possession of the Carbonari, and all who join them
arc excommunicated. Thus you see, in the filee of
their advancing columns, tins spirit rises against the
Austrians. Depend upon it Italy is completely re-
volutionized, nor do I believe that the Austrians can
save themselves. It is a fine moment to inhabit
here ; to sec this long oppressed countr•; once inure
rising to assume her rank amongst the tuitions, is
truly animating,
Rost,. Ft,:e 21.—0 n the evening of the 15th,
an Austrian advance-guard, of bout 1,500 men,
entered Funao, on the Adriatic Sea; a column of
the army followed the next day.
The property of the late Mr. Dalrymple appears
by his will not to amount to 50,00u1. inswad of
being 10,0001. a year.
