would call on their Lordships set to leava this subject to
Ministers, but to take it into their own bawls, and come to a
speeitic pledge ou this question, which so much agitated the
public mind at present. Although there were considerable
differences among the many petition's which had been pre-
sented to them, as to the extent of the Parliamentary He.

LONDON :
MONDAY, MARCH io, 1817.

Accounts from Paris, dated on Monday evening, have
teen received. They briefly notice the proceedings on
that day in the Chamber of Deputies. The estimate of
the navy expence4, wherein Ministers were defeated,
was followed* by that of the expenses of the interior,
presented by the Minister of Police ; and this estimate
was so moderate, that it is said to have encountered
only one opponent. An observation made by M. Cornet
cl'lncourt, on continuing the salaries to Joseph Buona-
parte's swats, as King of Spain, created a great tumult
on the Benches . favourable to Ministers. We hardly
know what to say upon attacks of this kind. It cer-
tainly is not right, abstractedly considered, to take ma-
teyfrom the people of France in order to bestow it
upon the creatures of such a Sovereign us Buonaparte's
brother Joseph : but yet, if the abolition of these pen-
sions would either infuse a distrust respecting the sti-
eurity of other property acquired (luring the revolution,
or if it is really necessary for awhile to purchase ad-
herents to the lawful Government from the agents of
the Corsican tyrant, strict jnotie- might perhaps yield a
little to policy, as the sum eancedeo is not large, and as
thrse wha receive it arc probably only rendered more
odious liv their consumption of national plunder.
The loan, after a diseu,sion, in which one of the
sharers in it (M. La Fitte) was the chief speaker, in
maintaining. the propriety of the measure, was almost
unanimously approved of. To us it appears to hare
b un an act of necessity.

At a late hoer Satunlav we received the Paris Papers

He there found Preston himself in great distress, with two
daughters, all lying on the ground. He searched the house,
bat tossed nothing, nut even a piece of money.. This was done
by Site sole power of the existing laws, and Sties! being found
adegeate to ensure the safety of the country, what necessity
was there of any new or extraordinary measures ? With these
feldjny_he was "solved to oppose every stage of the Bill.

Lord Cocitiens prayed the House to consider what they

what the Lord Mayor had alluded. when he spoke of the dis-
respect which he had suffered. It certainly did not proceed
from the office of the Home Department, for there one

CON4PIR AC Y AT LISBON.

A most alarmed conspiracy has been discovered at
Lisbon, the °Ejects of which weie no less than the
subversion of the existing Government, the overthrow
of the rcigning dynasty, and the omiblisliment of
some new Govcrment, under some new head. Tl.e
British Government have received dispatches Cron
)tlarshal Bercsford, of the 28th of May, communi-
cating the everts which had taken place. It will be

THE NATIONAL RECtg-Trlt.

the Regency of Portugal, to who,n he communieated
the inthriaation he had received of u most dangerous
and extensive conspiracy, thrmed for the treasonable
purpose of overturniuo the Government, and establish-
ing a new dynasty. Until then it appears that the
Itegzncy were entirely iiporant of the machinations
of the conspirators.
It seems that the consl,irators had not precisely
fixed upon the period at which the attempt was to be
made to carry their traitorous designs into ewcution ;
but that it was to he made some time between the 23th
of Al ay aril the sth of June.

At the head of this detected conspiracy was Lieu-
tenant-General Gomez Freire d'Andradc, who has the
character of a man of distinguished talents, both as a
statesman and as a military officer. He tin-nu:Hy coin-
, mantled the Portuguese levies, in the French service,
and was always much in favour with the army. Had
the plot succeeded, he was to have been proclaiund
'Marshal-General. Freire and his fellow conspirators
were taken by surprise, at twelve o'clock at night, and
immediately carried off, with all expedition, in a chaise.
to Fort St. Julien, attended by a Lieutenant of Police,
and escorted by a Lieut. -Colonel and eighteen dragoons.
Among other conspirators who have been taken into
custody arc Baron a foreign officer, Colonel
Montieru, (4' the Portuguese militia, Captain O'llori-
nier, of the Ist infantry, a Lieutenant of the same
regiment, two Lieutenants of Artillery, one of
Engineers, a Major, and two Ensigns of Tiradores. In
tile event of success, and the proclaiming Freire Mar-
sh,d General of Portugal, the Capita,' llor was to have
been appointed to the command of the Ordnance; and,
it is said, was to have marched about 15,000, men into
Lisbon to support the Revolution. A Captain Vittorinia,
of the let regiment, was to have dispatched Marshal
Lord Berestitrd and the Members of tile Regency. The
British Generals in the Portuguese service, and also
some particular individuals, who are obnoxious to the
conspirators, were destined to a similar fate. The Bri-
tish officers of inferior rank were to be shipped off for
England.
From what has transpired, it does not appear that
any of the Nobility have ben connected with the
plot, none of them having been apprehended. Many
persons had been arrested in the provincial towns and
at Oporto
_ _

• Marshal Peresford, at the time of the packet's sailing,
was at Alcantarn. The troops were on the alert, and at
all their stations constantly under arms, each man being
provided with ten rounds of ball cartridges. The pri-
soners are said to be confined in close dungeons under
ground. They would be immediately brought to trial;
before a Court Martial ; most probably in the course of
last week. The troops, it is stated, have remained
faithful to the Government. No Proclamation on this
subject having been issued, the inhabitants of Lisbon
naturally felt anxiety and alarm. . The intelligence
from the Brazils, through Lisbon, is not so late by two
days as what we were in possesiion of previously by
other channels.

FROM A GERMAN PAPER.

AUGSBURG'', NOV. 10.---(FIVID 11Correspondent.]
The Duke of Otranto has been reproached in the
public journals with not having taken measures to de-
fend Paris, on the approach of the Allied Armies, after
the battle of NVaterloo. The following copy of a letter
which Marshal Davoust wrote to him, as the Presi-
dent of the French Regency before the capitulation of
Paris, may serve to instruct those who have not attended
to the loud and clear language of events. This letter,
which by accident came into my hand, should be read,
in connexion with the following observation under the
bead, " France." in the .11gemcine Zeilung, No. 2(iti :
" By the reception of Davoust into the number of
lklarshals, it was intended (says a Paris Paper) to re-
ward the services which the Prince had rendered, and
which, though before unacknowledged, make him wor-
thy of the honour, and can never in future be denied."
—This being premised, the letter of the Marshal must
be read with great interest in your journal, especially
as it has never before appeared in a continental paper,
and as it.contains the declaration of the MarAal fir the
statue of the Bourbons. 'flit letter runs in the follow-
ing terms:

On our re-admission, we found Lord Stnstrovrii addressing
the House. His Lordship slated that he was prepared on
coining down to the House that day, to have gone fully into the
subject itself, and to have communicated the grounds on
which his Majesty's government felt it iinperatise to recom-
mend the measure now about to be submitted to the consider-
ation of their Lordships. Prom the wish expressed by a
number of the Members of that House, he was willing to
defer the discussion on the 11111, he then held in his hand until
the second reading, which lie should fix for Monday, at the
same time communicating his intention of forwarding it
through its various stages on that night. lie then moved that
a Bill, enabling his Majesty to secure and detain in custody
such parsons as his Majesty may suspect of intentions against
his Majesty's Peace and Government, should be read a first
time.

Lord 1101.1..tti0 said, that in expressing his approbation of
the candid manner in which the Noble Secretary had commu-
nicate/1 his intended course of proceeding, he s‘ishc,l not to

probation of the hill which he had proposed fur the approval
of that House.

Iliti:n °filches:4le,, who met occasionally in London these clubs
were must numerous to Leicestershire, Derbyshire, lize.; their
members weer p.ineepally low artisans anti manufacturers,
and they did not disguise that their object was to stop no-
thing short of revolution. The Spenecan Clubs also raised a
small weekly subscription from each member, which served
to defray all incidental expellees; and they still confidently
look forward to a day of general which they consider
and boast of as being at no great distance. They look for-
ward in the country to the meetings in the metropolis, to give
them the example. The morning after the 2,1 of December,
the roads in flee country were crowded by persons looking
for the mails, who expressed great disappointment at the di,
turhance leaving been so soon quelled, and wide so little mis-
chief. They still, however, look forward with confidence
/or success, relying on their numbers, and boasting that they
have nothing to do but to hold themselves lu readiness; and
that their word is "be steady—be ready." Many leave es en
gone so far as to calculate what land they shall receive as
their portion of the spoil when divided. It has also been
suggested, that husbandry instruments may with little trouble
be converted into instruments of offence. Associations lead
been formed at Glasgow and other parts of Scotland. Indeed,
the Committee had great satisfaction in observing, that these
Clubs were generally confined to the manufacturing districts,
and the lower classes. Few of the higher or middling classes
had joined the disaffected, and of the agriculturists none.
The Committee assure the House, that in their Report they
have exaggerated nothing; and at the same time that they
recommend, that every due consideration shonld be given to
the distresses of the people; they recommend also, that the
House should immediately proceed to take the Report into
consideration. The Report concludes with declaring it to
be the opinion of the Committee, that the most vigilant at-
tention of Government is called tor; and that the existing
laws are not adequate to meet the existing evils."
