AUSTRIAN LOAN.

Mr. Ilssisignst.rs, brinielit forward his motion ,respecting
the large sums due from Austria to this countr.-, on account of
the loan made in 117,J.i. The loon took place, on power being
given to sue the Emperor in his own Courts on default of pay-
ment. The lir,t amount was X 1,609,0 .10, the second X:1,670,000,
the whole stivek, &e. amounted to al tA' 14,itan,000. Since
that period no communication had Lech made to Parliament.
Was the country to continue to pay The interest of midi loan
It was the debt of the Emperor; and who ought to pay the
interest? At all events ought the House to remain without
information? If the Court of Vienna had been induced to act
under the impression that the debt would be abandoned, he
w•euld not contend tOr the violation of engagements—but sure-
ly some Account of the state of the debt ought to Le mode. lint
if it were to be a question of generosity, tile sum could not be
abandoned on light grounds. The interest was £610,000 an-
nually ; and to be relieved from that sum would be most advan-
tageous. Sore arrangement ought to be proposed, to liquidate
the amount by degrees, or other%i e. Whether the minim' slay
received or not, lie trusted at the end of 21 years the Omit of
Vienna would not remain willing debtors to nnwilling creditors.
Re concluded with moving an Address to the Prince Regent,
to take into consideration the Austrian I.4an, and praying that
a ncgociation might be opened on the subject.
Lord CasTL ER VAG H said, this was not an opportune moment
tbr opening any such negueiations.

relieve his wife and two daughters, who, with very slight co-
s cuing, made du ir escape with hint, running neatly all the

et ery thing in the house, burning all Mr. Vitehers valuable
papers and writings, and stamping his plate miller their feet ;
after which they extorted considerable sums of money from
the inhabitants, and broke into two shops, helping themselves,
without any one daring to oppose them. The publicans'

AoRICULTuRAL REPORT.

The perpetual vici4situdes of the season, joined witAt
the distress under which the farmers labour, have greatly
retarded--indeed nearly pundysed—the operations of
agriculture. The state of the weather, both in the last
and present month, has occasioned bean planting to be
very backward, which must have a similar effect on every •
other branch of the seed business of Spring. Turnips
have failed in some districts, and almost every where in
point of quality. Sheep have suffered greatly from the
severity and changeableness of the whether, and cattle-
keeping has been generally a business attended with
difficulty; it has nevertheless been, during the present
season, the only profitable branch to the corn fanner, and
probably the saving of many from ruin, who have had
the means and resolution to pursue it with spirit.

In !fur Prt IvisioNe, &e..—There have been very extensive
parcels of old tiovernintiit pros ision. thrown upon the hands
of the dealers; they are now re-packed, and offering at such
low prices, that it has hail the effect of farther depressing the
prices of Beef and Pork, ss ith the exception of prune descrip-
tions. The prices of Bacon continues greatly reduce d But-
ters base been su creatly dein es-ed, that salsa eetilil only be
effected by auction, and at reduced prices. The Bill now in
progress in Parliament to place a duty of iris. per cwt if in
British. and 255. Lf in a foreign ship, on foreizo Butter, will no
doubt, in some degree, benefit the agriculturalist; more parts
citlarly tile Irish ; but no eft( et ha- been as yet produced in
the market. The holders are asking higher prices, but the
trade has e not submitted to ally advance; the quantity of lo-
reigu Butter at market is very considerable,

SAVING BANKS.

Mr. Rose obtained leave to bring in a Bill to encourage Sa-
♦ing Ranks. The Right Hon. Gout. observed, that, from the
want (L'a means of depositing their overplus cash, many we re
often induced to waste their property in drunkenness and dis-
sipation; so that, in the hour of distress and necessity, they
had no other resource to Hy to for relict• except the poor-house.
To the Gentlemen of Edinburgh, and Bath much praise was
clue fur having set on foot this subject (Saving Banks). II the
House would for a moment look at the importance of this mea-
sure. it would be seen, that in the course of a few years, a la-
bouring man laying by Is. per week, would have a small ca-
pital to make himself comfortable. He stated, that in his own
county, a labourer, having only Ins, per week, had accumulated,
at the age of 33, nut less a sum than 1001.1 He hoped Gentle-
men in their neighbourhoods, and those at the head of mum.
factories, would exert themselves to encourage a disposition
fur saving in those under them. It would infuse into the minds
of the common people, a spirit of independence, and make
theta better men and better subjects. TI money, he ob-
served, raised by Pours' Rates within the List year was six
millions sterling): and yet the 111101* were not one bit better oaf
than they were in the veer 17;8, at %%Melt time the sum was
only 1,500,0001. The Right Hon. Gent. then moved for a Bill
to protect the raving Banks.
Mr. Thompson expressed his obligations to the Right Hon.
Gent. fur his exertions in favour of the poor, and he thanked
him for bringing in the Bill to legalize Bcnetit societies, He
hoped the present Bill would afford additional relief. He
suggested, that it should be made as simple as possible. for the
connAexity of the measure had alarmed and palsied the exer.

Mr. Curiae:it sup lotted the grant, and contended that the

Mr. Serif:oat Itt .T ',Wm. it to the vote of :15,0001. on the
gr n•md that the Noble Carl had not :ivied in the manner he
ought to have done as Ambassad4r, in bringing 'base marbles
here. Toe national honour would Hot be hest consulted by
retaining them, liar did he think any Ambassador ouzlit to
clothe himself with his representative character tar any such
piiroses as the present.--(!fear, hear.)
Mr. BROUGHAM thought these niur4les %mild he most vain-
able, as a school of art in this country. Hut at the same time
35,001. would not be all we should have to pay ; fur it would
at least cost us much more tulmose these marbles. Now the
question was, had we 711 or 0,0001. to spare to pay for tlic.c.
marbles, or was this a time for us to involve ourselves in an
unnecessary expellee? For his part, lie would vide against this
grant for the purpose of redeeming the pledge given to the
people of attending to economy. lie hail heard that the Pigot
diamond had been re-landed in this country ; and we might he
calle.l on to purchase that as a unique also.

PREVAILTNII n,lßßEßlEP.—Saturiluy Thomas and William
Clayton, brothers. were finally examined, charged with rob-
bin.; it Mr. Hill, of the Commercial Road, (dins watch, chain,
seals, Ac. a tew nights sinee.—This robbery, like those so fre-
quently practised at the present day, was committed by the
prisoner, in conjunction with a few other notorious characters,
by conjointly surrounding avid (as it were accidentally) push-
iug the proseentori so as to tamtioe him for a moment, then
seizing his watch, and running off. This infamous system was
practised by the prisoners towards the prosecutor ; but one
of them, being pursued, was overtaken and secured. The
other was traced to his lodgings. Huth prisoners were fully
committed.

Tuesday, 0. Newton, 12 years (if age, was charged under
the following circumstances. J. Brown deposed, that lie was
shopman to Mr. Nett, a draper. ef.Leadenhall-street. On Sa-
turday evening last he nisei ved the prisoner and another youth
lurk nig about the shop; and at length the prisoner's compa-
nion male a sad len entre, and cut a string near the door, from
which a quantity of clothes was snspetided. He then ran
away, and in a few moments the prisoner rushed in, seized a
dress, and ran away. The witness pursued, and took him into
custody, with the property in his possessim. At this period
the prisoner's father stated, that his sun had been led to his
present abandoned state by the asylum that was afforded him
in a public house in Skinner-street, Bishopsgate, which was
the common resort of the worst of characters, men, women,
and children. Here he was frequently found playing at cards
and skittles' and even associating with peobtittars, hist-n.4ller
and himself kid remonstrated with the proprietors, and en-
deavoured to draw him from the house, but in s Mu. At length
the father summoned the proprietor before the Lord Mayor.
Several City Odieers deposed to the truth of the statement re-
specting the house heing the constant renderv-us of the most
abandoned characters. The prop' ietor (a Mrs. Roper), who
was in attendance upon the summons, acknowiedgeil that the
house had formerly borne a brd character, but assured his
Lordship that it by no means deserved such an appellation at
present. As to the prisoner, she, as aril as her husband. hail
feequently end tavoincd to drive him away, but he persevered
in his visits. She said, the boy was in the habit of stralite.l pro-
oerty from time to time, which was received by his parents.
This charge the parents denied. The Lord Mayor said, that
with the character of the house he was well acquainted, and
would midonbtedly stop its licence. As to the prisoner, the
ease of felony being clearly made out, he was composed to stud
hien to prison.—He Was Colll7lllitrti.

BRISTOL, RECEIVED 111031 BAROADOES, DATED APRIL

" I have no doubt but you will have from sour friends in
the windward part of the Island, a circumstantial account of
an insurrection of ti.e Negroes in that part, which commenced
on Easter night, the 11th instant, on the Thicket Estate of
Lord tlarewood, and three other plantations belonging to Ge-
neral Itratliwaite, by setting fire to the canes ; and on the till-
lowing night the greater part of St. Philip's, Christ Church, and
St. George's Parishes were in flames; many estates had not
only their canes burned, but the buildings robbed and de.
stroyed ; fortunately very few whites were killed. The King's
troops, and the militia of the adjacent parishes, were prompt
in getting to the scene of desolation, and killed or took pri-
soners many of the insurgents. I min the only sufferer to the
leeward; I had a field of canes (10 acres) burned on Monday
night the I.llli, but whether by some of the insurgents driven
from the windward, or by my own negrocs, I have not been
able to ascertain; as none ut own negrocs absented them-
selves, I am inclined to think they were not concerned in it.
The militia has been constantly doing duty ever since, and
martial law was proclaimed im the t:,th, and still continues: 1
hope the spirit ut revolt is morlt suppressed. 1 understand that
the reason given by the ringleados for the revolt is, that the
King and Parliament had given them their freedom, and that
it has been kept a secret, and withheld from them by their
owners.

" This is the result of their Philanthropic Friends' exertions

of the latter has been only mo or three men. The insurgent.;
arc not composed of negroes only; a white man was to be exe-
ented as yesterday. Happily they are now quelled, and tran-
quillity is said to be perfectly restored.

rather less than herself. about 12 o'clock, stripped thcnrelvrs
naked on the grass h 3 the side of the coral, near the 311111,
and went into the canal to bathe; and when they came out
ran about the grass, and behaved in a very indecent manner,
both as to action', and i-cage.-tla'4e. to men and boss who were
collected in consequenee. 'On the approach of the constable

Mr. HA ;111%1E10LN:1f moved fur an account of the sums due
front the French Government to this Country, for the main
rmanee of French prisoners, but which was given up by the
Treatia of 1811 and ISt,,, on condi,iou of the French Govern-

ngs moved fora return of the several ditties of the
Oliver, of the Navy Pay 011 ice. The object of the lion.
(*retail:man was, to ascertain whether tlu• duties of those Officers
were not so light as to ad.uit the opportimity of their paying
seamen on foreign stations.
Sir 'C. Pole was happy the motiore Mil been made, as it
gave him an opportunity of stating how the matter stood; By
the Allotment As!t, the 1.1.411140 w was allowed to allot half his
pty to his wife, or some oth,r person, anti the .realer part to
others. This was the benefit of the Allotment Act;. and he
should oppose buch a regulation as the Hoo. Geotleman now
proposed.
Sir G. HOPE observed, that if such a practice as paying the
men on foreign stations was to be carried into effect, it was
inenissibie °sat the fleets could move anti the men were paid;
PO that an enemy's fleet might rid. tritnnoltant in the Mediter-
ranean, while the proper officers were paying our ships, which
would take op three weeks.
Mr. ROSE agreed in the opinion of the last speaker. If the
seamen could receive their pay abroad, be was afraid that
wery few of theta would send home a provision for Weis
families.
Sir N. Moonsow concurred in the opinion of the gallant
Admirals (Sir' C. Pole and Sir G. Hope), and opposed the
motion, as being detrimental to the intere.sts of the service.
Mr. %V. SMITH thought the grand defect of the British Navy
was, that it partos4 more than necessary of force and coercion.
Sir C. Pi m; admitted it would be better to titan the British
Navy without coercion. Bat while oleo preferred the merchant
service it because necessary to use coercion, or it would be
impossible to man the deans.
