A letter from Caracas of the 2stb of February
states, that a tommunication had been received front
Bogota, written by the Minister of the Interior for
the Republic of Colombia, giving information that
the Congress was not expected to be assembled be.
fore that or even the following month, as the depu-
ties from Quito were not expected to arrive earlier.
It appears by accounts received from various parts
•
of France,. that all letters sent to or from that coun-
try are opened, so that it behoves persons writing
to their filen& to be cautious what they write, least
they should involve their correspondents in trouble.
All the English newspapers containing tho debates
on the neguciationa, on their arrival in France, were
immediately, seised and sent to Paris, to prevent
ahem from being circulated. The English are be-
come much alarmed. Several have taken their de-
.
parture fur Ititly, and a great number arc returning
home.
MENTI, APRIL 10.—All the letters from Vienna
still express hopes of peace. and it is generally be-
lieved there that negotiations wi I be immediately
renewed between France and Spain, and that
England will act a great part in them. The last
note of Mr. Gordon to Prince Metternich contains
a declaration of the Cabinet of St. James's, which
considers the difference between France and the
Peninsula as a dispute between these Powers only,
and shows that England would not be inclined t,►
suffer other powers to interfere, unless in a pacific
view, being herself determined to take up the de-
fence of the weaker party, if a certain northern
Power should pretend to take anuctive share ; and
the Court of Vienna Is said entirely to coincide in
those sentiments.

PAPERS RELATING TO.THE NEGOCIATIONS.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL said he informed the Home on a
former Diet of his readiness to produce this day certain papers
required by a noble baron aria other noble lar !s. With 'espial
to those papers, he understood there was no objection to the same
being printed; he, therefore, should take care that they be laid
on the table to morrow before twelve o'clock. The noble earl
wished to say a few words on the subject of two letters from M.
La Garde to Sir William A'Court, stating the views of France.
On a recent discussion he stated to a noble baron (Lord Ilolland),
that the documents alluded to had not come to the bands of his
Majesty's Governr nt officielly. Ile had since ascertained, that
the lenses came as a onfidennal communication from Paris to
Sir W. A'Court. They could not therefore be laid on the table
as facial documents; but a translation of the Liters, sudscient
for the purpo.es of debate, bad been published in the daily
papers. The letters were in fact before the public. and might
be found in the Courier of the 19th of February.—With respect
to other papers relating to Portugal, it was his intention to lay
the same before the House to morrow..—Adjourned.
ruesoay. ARIEL 22.
NEGOCIATIONS.—This day. at melee o'clock. the Supple-
=entail Papers having been printed, were laid on the table.
SLAVIC THARIE.—The Duke of GLOUCESTER presented
a pettdun from the University of Cambridge. praying ter the
effectual abolition of the Slave Trade in the West Indies. His
'loyal Highness exprseel hit happiness ut being able, its Chan-
cellor of the University, to present such a petition, and declared
his full concurrence in the same.—The petition was read, and
laid on the table.
Mr. Broaden, Lord Stanley, and other Members from the
Commons, brought up the Merchunta' Apprentices Bill,. die
Army and Navy Pensions Bill, and several 'imam bills, which
were read a first time.
POartiorat..—Lunt HOLLAND rose to move for all Corn-
saunieatMns made by his Majesty's Government to his Alost
Fa;thful Msjest', the Ist of September, 1822, on the sub-
ject of die invasion of Portugal. together with the answers. The
noble lord did not see that any objection could be made to his
motion.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL said,some of the papers alluded
to. might be produced ; there were others also that could not be
brought under the consideration of
SLAVE TRADE AND AUSTRIAN LOAN.—The Marquis of
LANSDOWN g wished to strove for two descriptions of papers
—the first 'elated to the Abolition of the Slave 'frade; the outer
subject to which be should cull the attention of the noble earl
was the Austrian Loan.. At an early part of the session he took
the liberty of putting questions to the noble earl on the subject,
awl he was told that tne neguclation was successful, and in a
state of forwardness, No information hap since appeared on the
table. Claims of a more recent date than the Austrian loan had
been brought to a conclusion with Spain, and it would afford him
much satisfaction to hear that an arrangement had been made
by Austria to pay the money.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL said,all the par,ers respecting the
Slave Trade were before Parliament, and he had norhing to
retract. As to the Austrian Lou,o it was true he stated on a
former day that the arrangement tor the re-payment of that loan
was in plogress. Austria bad cudeavoured to follow up the
principle of arrangement, but recent events in foreign countries
bad reacted her funds. and in the present menacing state c" the
Continent, she could not divest herself of the whole amount of
the debt; the principle of adjustment. however, remained the
same. Ile saw no reason to say terms of compromise might not
be agreed to, and they did not now expect to recover the whole
amount of the debt.
Earl GREY was glad to hear the Austrian Government was
disposed to compound. Ile never expected to get any part of
the money.
Lord HOLLAND said. he had not seen the name of the
Emperor of Austria an the Gazette as a Bankrupt laugh), but
as the noble earl declared ham to be insolvent, we had better get
part of the debt.
TUE Navr.—Earl DARNI.EY, pursuant to notice. adverted
to the state of the gurintships and men of war in commission.
In consequence of the present hostile state of Europe, it Wes
necessary this country should be prepares" 'with an efficient navy
to meet emergency. The noble earl concluded by moving for a
return of the state of the navy in the dal...rent ports.
Load MELVILLE oppopposes!os the motion, on the ground that
it would not procure the information the noble earl required.
No attention had been paid by the noble cad to the mode em-
ployed on the Preventive Service. which was always an available
turce. The navy had been kept up to the full Peace Establish-
ment.
The motion was negatived, and the house adjourned to
Thursday.
THURSDAY, 4711 L 24.
The Duke of SUCKINGII AM presented a petition from the
University of Oxford. against the Roman Catholic claims.
Lord SU PFIE 1.1 11 presented a petition from die inhabitants of
the Hundred of itumbleyard, in the county of Norfolk,
complaining of agricultural distress ; and praying for relief from
Lazes on malt and barley —Laid on the table.
COMMUTATION or TITUES.—The Marquis of LANS-
now NE said. before they proceeded to the order of the day,
he wished to advert to a subject of considerable importance to
Ireland. Ile understood it was the intention of the iiertuelly
of that part of the United Kingelern to present a petition Put a
commutation of tithes. Ile expressed a cope that he should !lot
be considered wanting in respect if ke requested a right rev.
prelate, who was to present the petition, to give notice of theday
on which lie should present it, as he had a petition to pre cot on
she same subject, which he snould like to deliver at the stone
time.
TILE NEGOCIATION WITH FRANCE.
Lord ELLEN BOROUG II rose upon the order of the day to
addons die house upon the conduct of his Majesty's ministers in
the late negoctitions with France and Spain. He said, lie rose
under considerable anxiety and doubt of his abilities to perform
to the satisfaction of the House a public ditty. The great question
of Spain was so impor ant in his v.ew, that lie was called upon to
lay aside all considerations of a personal nature, and to confine
himself only to the subject. rainfall as it was to unveil what lie
called the shame of the country, tete:warned by the conduct of his
Majesty's ministers in the late neeciations. that pant was in.
creased by seeing a noble duke connected with the transaction.—
Ile had entertained the hope of seeing the issue of that noble
duke handed down to posterity wit:, the glory it once deserved,
but he should forfeit his ditty if he contented to lenience errors
against public services; let services be rewarded, but let carom
• wtio:ver Might OUlTallit throb, be censured. In the discussion
which took place on the affairs of the Continent, the revolution
of Naples had been considered very cliff:Tent from that of Spain.
It was distinctly admitted by the noble duke, that the Spanish
revolution was provoked. Ile iron atael the lords, in forming
thir judgment of the Spanish people to recollect the ciacum-
stances which led to the revolution. King Ferdinand on lit; res.
teratioa, promised to ratify the constitution, arid allow die free.
