r•Trcling the revenue, and more liberally plying
the collectors. Formerly the revenues were farmed
by isitlividusls, who received no salaries, or very
small ones, and who got the most they could from
the people. Now the effect of the alteration was,
that though a greater revenue might be collected
for pahtie troves's, yet, hum the tangle in• whit* it
was collected, it in fact fell much liOiler than for.
wetly on the bulk of the people. He also justified
the cum monopoly at Cuero, which was only liken
into the hands of the Government when it ws*fotand
impossible to get individuals to undertake the re-
sponsibility of supplying corn fur the people's sub.
to.tetice. The lion. Gentleman concluded I►y de-
chitin his readiness to concur in the motion, for
he was permuted the papers, when producer,. would
were a complete justification of the conduct of
Cabernment.

Sir ROBERT Wst.sou said, he was one or those
who always thasseht that this country could not re-
rnu feast the Porte. A, well, indeed, might
France leave Calais in the hands of Cogland, or
Ecagimod leave Dover in the howls of France, as
that Part,' should be permitted to remain subject
to the British authority. What he complained of
was the principle of the cession of Purge by Eng-
land. lie hoped that the explanatory documents
would throw the fullest light upon the whole trans-
action.

Mr. IlumE reviewed the provisions of the Trea-
ties executed by the different Pursers who held
possession of Perri of late years. He lamented
the deAli of General Campbell, and the absence
of murk of that information which was necessary
to elucidate the general understanding between the
inhabitants and the British, when the latter took
possession of Pero. lie was persuaded the people
were led to believe they were to abide the fate of
the lonian I-lands. Ile had heard that the inha-
bitants were not as fairly dealt with as the Hon.
Gentlrwin had represented, and that the valuation
of their property was not conducted on the equi-
table principle just tetrd. He also denied that
the respectable officer to whom he believed the
Hun. Gentleman alluded, as has %g held forth
txtravagant expectations, had ever duce a. in the
triainier mentioned. Mons. Bossy had never, he was
per-uaderf, held out without authority any expecta-
tions. Ile also complained that the money was not
paid in the good coin stipulated for by the inhabi-
t:rote, a dedrictinis of 48.000/. out of 170,000/. was
route by Ali Pacha, fur paying in dollars, and
out 10 Turkish alloy. The Hun. Gentleman'
strongly condemned the pecuniary pall of this trans-
action, and revealed that he had heard from good
authority, the Parganiotes universally complairied of
Itle manlier iii which the payments had heels made.
Ile also said that the spot of ground offered the
Parganiotes, as an equivalent, was quite barren.
Mr. GOULOURN, in explanation, said the pa-
pers would 'hew that the inhabitants received a fair
ai!owance for any alloy money which they received
in the course of 11w payments.
3lr. Hume repeated the statement lie had in ide,
that the people were diss.stisfied.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL replied.
The question was then put and carried.
A Message from the Lords announced their lord_
ships assent to several Bills, and the passing of
several others—(for which sic the Lords.)
