tontion :
SUNDAY, MARCH 17.
-411 -

Ministers have proposed to his Majesty to allow
a deduction of 10 per cent. from the salaries of the
Keeper of the Privy Purse, the Lord Chambetlain,
the Lord Steward, the Master of the lobes, and
the Master of the Horse, which will efket a re-
ductian of 33,0001. per annum ; and on this their
toad-eaters, their parasites„, offer them their congra-
tula ions—but how is praise due to them fur this
confined effutt of retrenchment ? Let them, if they
really mean to " deserve well of their country,"
submit the Civil List, amounting to more than a
minion annually, to a Committee, not nominated
by themselves, but fairly and impartially elected—
end let theta accede to every reduction which that
committee shall declare practicable. On the motion
of Lord Normanby for the reduction of one of the
join t Postmasters General, the Honourable Frederick
Robinson boldly asserted, what had never before
been hazarded in the British House of Commons—

it had always been understood that a considerable
share of corrupt influence was used on the part of
.I%linisters to insure vote: in support of their measures,
but no one till Mr. Robinson ever went so far as to
declare to the Ewe of the country, that the retention
of an office, confessedly useless, was requite to
„Insure by the patronage it =fared, that sort of

influence which might enable Ministers ►o induce
honourable members of that House to say Aye or
No, when their consciences and common honesty
would oblige them to an exactly contrary vote.—
Mr. Peel and the Marquis of Londonderry appeared
exceedingly angry ut this unadvised candour on the
part of Mr. Robinson. " When rogues quarrel,
honest men get their due," but this rule, like all
others, is open to exceptions, and the useless lumber
of the Post Office (the Marquis of Salisbury) is re-
tained by the vote of the House of Commons,. for
the express purpose of increasing in that House the
influence of the Crown—we are glad, however, to
observe, that another opportunity will be allowed
the members to review their decision, and by re-
versing it to redeem their characters with their
constituents. Lord Normanby on Thursday night
declared his intention to bring the subject again
bethre the House, and his full reliance on ultimate
success. The motion of Mr. Creevy on Thursday
night for a Committee to inquire into the duties at-
tached to the. Board of Controul,. with a view to a
redaction of the Commissioners,, met a. similar fate ;
but this cannot astonish any one who will look im-
partially at the constitution of that House which
arrogates to itself the title of the Representatives of
the People—every da) shews more and more the
necessity of a Reform, and we are of that number
that would rather the House should be reformed by.
Acts of Parliament, than by a rebellion of the people
driven to desperation by the enormities of their
rulers. Reform must and will be had—if it be not

obtained without violence the House of Commons
will have only itself to blame.

Tlic DIAMOYDS.—Many obscure allusions have
been made to the subject of the sum of 70,0001.
which it was said was intended to be charged to the
coronation expences•—the following we believe to be
a fair statement of the facts:—His Majesty pre-

seated, some time ago, to the Marchioness of Conyng-
ham an elegant diamond collar—at a party given
at the Pavilion the next evening Lady Francis
Conyngham, the Marchioness' daughter-in-law, ap-
peared with the collar on her neck—the King said
he intended it for the decoration of the per:•on of
the 'Marchioness, who replied, that she considered it
more appropriate to Lady Francis, and that s•lee
wanted a Dram ON D Srom ACH 6R—the latter article
was therefore procured and presented, and the bill
for the two baubles, amounting to 70,0001., sent
into the Treasury. Lord Liverpool immediately
wrote a letter, in which he stated that " In the pre-
sent time of cavil at expenditure, he could by no
means countenance such a payment from the public
funds, but the demand must be met from the privy-
purse"—this letter arrived at an inauspicious mo-
ment and waa reserved, as it is supposed, until a
propitious opportunity should occur for the com-
munication of so unpleasant a document.—ln the
interim, however, a second application was made at
the Treasury for payment, and the Earl of Liverpool
went immediately to Brighton, where finding his
letter had not reached its destination, he protested
against any intervention between his Majesty and
his Ministers, and in consequence of Lord Liverpool's
sternness on the subject, Sir Benjamin Bloomfield's
dismissal took place—it is but justice to both parties
to add that his Majesty intimated his gracious in-
tention to continue his salary, to which Sir Benjamin
nobly replied, that if his services were no longer
required, he could have no possible claim to be paid
fur them. Sir Benjamin is succeeded by Lord
I. rancis Conyngham, a younger son of the Mar-
chioness of Conyng,ham !! !

By the ship Homer, arrived at Baltimore from
Buenos Ayres, we have the following :
The surrender of Callao was produced by a scar-
city of provisions among the garrison. The garrison
is said to have amounted to 6 or 6CO invalids. Forty
thousand stand of arms have fallen into the hands
of the Patriots. At present Guido is the acting

Governor of Callao, and the greatest tranyillity
reigns at Lima. Vessels were not permitted to com-
mence discharging till the Bth October.
(From the Boston Patriot of Feb. 13.)

Commodore Ch,ytor, of the Buenos Ayres brig
bulependencia, arrived at Charleston, confirms the
accounts heretofore received of the entire indepen.
deuce of 'Mexico and its provinces. The citadel of
Vera Cruz still held out, but was expected to be
given up immediately. The of the Spani,lt

American coast, from Comana all along the Spanish
Main to Vera Cruz, with the provinces of Guyatan,
Guatamala, &c. have achieved and settled their in-
dependence..
Extract of a letter from Montreal :—".The legis-
latura of Upper Canada has voted '2,0001. to defray
the expences of the Attorney-General on his visit to
London, in order to lay their complaints against. cue
House of Assembly respecting their share of the pro-
vincial duties; and. it is now confidently reported
that Ministers have, of late years, been so much
troubled with complaints and demands from the le-
gislatures of the Canadas, that they have at last

determinetl.to bring a Dill into Parliament to re•
unite the two provinces."

The Paris papers of Wednesday last have arrived,
bringing the preliminary decision of the Tribunal
of First Instance, in the suit between M. Latiqe
and, Messrs. Bertrand and Montholon. It will Le

seen from the report of the judgment, and of the
reasoning on which it was founded, that the main
question has not been grappled with—as to Buena-
parte's capacity of acquiring, retaining, or devising
properry, while engaged in open rebellion, and after
he had been adjudged guilty of high treason against
the Sovereign of France. The only point set at rest
by the present adjudication, is the insufficiency of
the documents brought forward by the plaintiffs to
prove their right to the litigated fund, either as at-
turnies or executors of Buonaparte.
M. Lafitte is authorized by the Court to place
the money in the coffer of deposits, as he had asked
leave to do, and lcssrs. Bertrand and Montholon,
being declared not entitled to receive it, are ordered
to pay costs.
It appears that no serious disposition to further

tumult bas shown itself in connexion with the sub-
ject of the missionaries since our last accounts. Four
or five Jens d'armes were able to disperse in a mo-
ment the only assemblage that was formed on Tues-
day in the Place des riclorici.
Gen..Berthon, as is stated in a letter from Par-
thenay, had a narrow escape on the Bth inst. lie
had left a farm-house before day-light that morning,
and at nine a.m. an officer arrived in pursuit cf him.
The General is described to have been disguised,
unattended, and alarmed fin- his persoral safety.—
None of the Chiefs of this insurrection have yet
been apprehended by the Government.
On the 14th instant the report was to be made
in the Chamber of Deputies on the petition of Mrs.
Loveday.
