takes as 4,500,0001. This increase of burden, too, was to be
impoLed at the time when the depression—although he did not
believe that so much depression as some gentlemen represented,
would be occasioned by the resumption, and its preparatory ar-
rangements; yet be was convinc:d some depression would be
occasioned—the increase of burden was to be smposed when this
depression made the country 'AI less capable of bearing it.
The graduated scale recommended in the resolutions he thought
dartniely objectionable. Four pounds one shilling was the hest
sate of payment; the next was V. 17s. 101. halfpenny. Great
difficulty would be occasioned by this in all contracts. A lease
would he (taken when the rate was 41. Is.: in the course of years
the rate would be 31. t7s Intl. halfpenny, the rent would be in-
creased three or four per cent. Again, a gentleman would

four years this gentleman week! pay interest for more than the
IMO!. which he had burrowed. lietek, he admitted, the force of
the objection against the Legislature acknowledging the &pre-
dation of paper. It was an undeniable fact that it was depre-
ciated, but ministers had formerly in folly denied shit fact, and
mini-tern now wish to establish it is• injustice. One of the prin.
cilial arguments urged in favour of this bill was, that it would keep
the gold in the country, and facilitate the resumption of dish
payments; yet all the Bank directors, tooth sad nail, opposed
this bill, which was to facilitate the resumption oldish-payments.
(Mar.) lie therefore distrusted the *Sauk directors altogether.
The Bank directors, he thought, on these erounds would endea-
vour to defeat any project fur the resumption of cash payments.—
lite objection to this plan was, dot by extending the time for die
resumption, and increasing the in ta icary or the means by which it
was to be tffected, they were the better enabled to defeat it. When
he opposed the resolutions, he hewed leave to say that he entirely
concurred in the principles of urculatieli on which they were
founded.

His Lordship's speech was follaweil by an excessive long

CEssioN OF VARGA TO THE TURls.—Rireliarles Moszee,
in•eising re submit to the 1111 u ie the motion of which he had given
notice relative to the cession of ['raga, aid, the.people of Purge,
after having lived for three year.: past in patient despair, and
trembling on the brink of destruction, now SEMI at -last be orc
the British parliament (hear); and he honed that no person who
new heard him would hedtate to compel. donate a brave people
struggling to retain their liberty. The lion. baronet then gave a
skexii of the political situation of the Greciaa Islands and their
continental dependencies. from the tsth canary down to the year
I ergo. By the treaty of Tilsit, in 1 t 0.7. the Grecian islands were
given up by the Han-liana to the French ; and it was worthy of
being remarked, that afterwards a right honourable gent. (Mr.
(:anniug), in an official note In -the Russian court, had cha:ged
them with a breach •of faith in thus sacrificing to France the in-
dependenew of the Septinsular Republic. The Ruaians, having
recowimended to the Parguinotes to secure a good understanding
with the French. completely abandoned them. The Pasha, :aw-
ing that France had obtained -possession of the lonian Islatuls,
entered into a negotiation with thee French general to: getting
Parga ceded to him. The Parguinotes seeing these negotiations
between the French general and the Paella, prepared for their
own defence, and at the same time made strong application to
the French general for assistance.; who replied. that he could
adind them no aristance; that Ise had no uoops tor the purpose ;
and, if he had, that he could clot, without sevtructions from lox
government, seed them to their assisuence. They deterntincd,
notwithstanding, to :mac no cession : they made all the rii-t-
-ance possible in the neighbourhood of Par..a, and at its wall.
The Pasha's army of iro,ooo men was repelled. and hit nephew,
swim commanded it, slain. Was this, he asked, a contemptible
people ? (licit, hear.) Should we, who were the freest nation in
the world, treat lightly a people capable of such struggles in the
cause of freedom ? (hear, hear.) ('owlet we, without lel/ow-feel-
lug, regard the efforts of a people, worthy 91 the freedom which
e enjoyed ? %Vita there a heart in the (roux that did not come
pass.nerate the brave Purguinotes ? (cheers.) Thee Pasha retreated:
he was repelled, not routed. '('hey had not nunibtra enough to
pursue him. He built a IMIIISOIC.4III/ tee his nephew, an altar on
which the blood of the Pargninotes muse flow. (hear. hear.)
Seeing that they (Aoki get no assistance from the French, they
Pent a deputation to General Campbell, with an offer to withdraw
their fortunes from France, and to place themselves ander British
protection, to follow the destinies of the lonian islands. He
granted their request, and xent Mr. Foresty's (the Engl.sh Am-
bassador's) son and Sir Charles Gordon with a strong detachment,
I to waist in forcing the French out of Plum, which was opposite
to raga, on the terms that an English garrison slstuid be fe-
-1 ceived, and that Parga should follow the destinies of the lonian
Islands. (hear.) l'-aptain Hoare arrived there at the since nine
with two frigates. 'rimy sent a deputation to him, who rcceiced
them well, but replied that he could do nothing for them, that he
could not attack the fortress.; but that if they could get the.
British flag hoistixlon Paxii, tee would draw up los e'rigates tinder
it at all hazards. They got the British flag conveyer, into the
fortress by an old wanaei under her clothes; the inhabitants,
who had formerly Aught spite: the Paalta at the same time
attacked the senunels. The British flag was hoisted, the frigates
were dotewn up under thee fortreaa, and the garrison were made
prisoners. The place was in tranquillity in two or dune hours
. after the first movement. (Hear.) This brought hint so the
riot. The Pargunintes were dow under flriutt pmtection.—
t tie ohjeet of lits motion was to tvlotain the paper which contained
tbeeontlitions on which the commanders. by a a and land, gairens-
