SUNDAY, MAY 27, 1821.

Ambrogio, Arcovite, Pignatelli, and Strongoli,
have been obliged to give in their resignation.—
Several new arrests have taken place; among others,
tarf Col. Costa, Captain Garton, and of the
deputy and advocate Poerio. This is the
same advocate who had been brave enough to remain
here, and had pleaded publicly before the tribunals
the cause of four individuals, arrested just at the
moment when they were embarking for Spain, and
who are eha bed with, being Clubman. The book-
sellers have received ceders to take to the police-
office their catalogue, when they will be informed
what books will be peohibited• Several individuals
who wore on their breast the insignia of the sect of
Carbonari have been flogged publicly by superior
order.
The governor of the lonian isles, has forbidden,
under the penalty of losing all the rights of a citizen,
to the inhabitants of those isles, to tale any parti-
cipation in the rebellion of Morea.
LEIPATC, MAY B.—Our fair began to-day.—
Nobody can say yet what turn it will take.—There
has been brought here an immense quantity of goods
from Germany, England, France, and the Nether-
lands. The number of French, English, and Ita-
lian merchants, has increased this year. The buyers
are not in a very large quantity. However, we see
a great many Jews, Russians, Greeks, and some
Armenians : a good many buyers from Poland and
Russia are still expected. Considerable business is
generally done in furs at this Easter fair, and several
merchants from Paris are come here for that object.
BERLIN, MAY 9.—On the 2d of this month, at
three o'clock in the afternoon, the tower of St.
Giles's church, at Monster, fell down, and almost
entirely destroyed the church. The divine service
had been interrupted before the holydays, because
the fall of the tower was expected. Happily nobody
perished.

FRONTIERS or MOLDAVIA, APRIL l 8 —His
Majesty the Empbror Alexander has fixed a term of
seven days for the dissolution of the Greek corps
formed by Ypsilanti in Moldavia and Walachia, and
tbr the return of those who are Russian subjects, or
under Russian protection. This term expires to-Jay.
Up to the 16th no steps towards compliance with
the order were observed ; on the contrary, the
Greek troops still at Jassy had gone to join Ypsilanti.
According to lute accounts, the Moldavians and
Walachians are stated to have declared themselves
ready to give up the authors of the disturbances,
especially Theodore, if all the rest were assured of
entire amnesty.
VIENNA, MAY 12.—The news from Laybach
varies from day to day. It is now said that the
Emperor Alexander will leave Laybach to-morrow,
and take the route to Pest, where he will visit the
Archduke Palatine, and afterwards proceed to the
south of Russia. Our Sovereign will quit Laybach
after receiving a deputation from the Lombardo-
Venetian kingdom. It was expected that the audi-
ence for this purpose would be given on the 13th.
Accounts from Constantinople, dated the 10th,
state that the Grand Vizier is deposed, and Benduli-
Ali-Pashaw appointed his successor. Until he ar-
rives, El- Hadgi-Sali Pushaw is to fill the office,
with the title of Caimacatt. He has on this occasion
received from the Emperor a very remarkable Hatti
Scherif, or Rescript.
The Porte is making vigorous preparations
against the insurgents. Five corps of Janissaries,
and tour companies of Toptlicoi's (artillery), are
ordered to reinforce the army of the Pashaws des-
tined to pass the Danube and attack Ypsilanti and
‘Vladimeresko. The new Grand Vizier is soon
expected, and is to bring with him a considerable
number or troops from Asia. All the. corps of Ja-
nissaries have taken up arms, and this cri.is has
already occasioned some very great excesses. The
troops continue to traverse the city, and pillage the
Greeks and Franks, or make them pay ransom,
though the Government has already caused some
implicated in those disorders to be arrested.
The Pashaw Chorchid, who commands before
Janina, has made some fruitless attempts to negociate
with Ali Pashaw and with the Sulliotes. The lat-
ter have 1,000 men under arms, and carry am a
Guerrilla war against the Turks.
EXTRACT FROM k PRIVATE LETTER OP THE SAME. DATE.
" it was stated with sufficient probability that the
conferences at Laybach were concluded ; but eon-
si lerations of high importance have decided other-

Paws 94,1-

wise. We learn that the congress is prolonged, and
consequently that the residence of the Emperors of
Austria and Russia, and the ministers of the great
powers at Laybach may yet be of some duration.—
This intelligence has opened a vast field for political
conjecture, and given circulation to a multitude of
reports, every one more contradictory than another.
" Letters from Petereburgh confirm the reports
of extraordinary movements in the Russian armies,
which are concentrating on different points. The
Imperial Guard has definitively left that capital and
marched towards the frontiers.
" By letters from Hermanstadt in Transylvania
we learn that the subjects of Russia, serving with
the Greek insurgents, have not yet obeyed the order
of the Government, requiring their return to Russia
within eight days, a period which had already ex-
pired. On the contrary, it appears that a new
Greek corps lately organized at Jassy has marched
to join the army of Prince Ypsilanti.
" A letter directly from Jassy announces that
5,000 Greeks have passed the Danube, near Sistova,
and that they have taken a position on the right
bank of the river, and formed entrenchments for
protecting a bridge which is to serve for a commu-
nication between Wallachia and Bulgaria.
There have been some sanguinary actions in the
Mores, and we are assured that the Turkish troops
have been repulsed on several points by the insur-
gents."
BUCHAREST, APRIL 28.—0 n the 14th we were
informed of the flight of the Hospodar Suxo from
Jassy. and of the return of that city under the
dominion of the Turks through the influence of the
Boyards, who have assumed the government pro-
visionally. Ypsilanti has left this place, and is
retiring into the mountains. He endeavours to per-
suade his adherents that he is certain of the secret
protection of Russia; but all sensible persons are
convinced of the contrary. Theodore is still in the
convent of Kotrocxeng, near this city. The troops
of Ypsilanti have committed the greatest disorders
here. They have pillaged the castle of Prince Bo-
ancowan, which was supplied with a fine library.—
On the 15th a letter was received from the Caima-
cans at Rudschuck, instigating the Boyards still here
to get rid of Theodore by some means or other, and
to send three deputies to Rudschuck. This advice,
however, has not produced the desired result.—
Theodore remains, and will not permit any of the
Boyards to leave the town.
On the 18th Theodore wrote a letter to Ypsilanti
full of menaces, on account of the mischief done by
his troops; but the effect of this epistle is not yet
known. He has caused five of his own men to be
decapitated for plundering.
IVe have as yet nu letters from Constantinople,
the communication being interrupted. It is said,
however, that more thon 80 persons belonging to
the first Greek families have beeu inatatarred there.
The Turks have not yet passed the Danube, bt.t
they are assembling troops on the right bank
The Austrian agents at Jassy and at Gales have
had the good fortune to save the lives of a number
of Turks, the former six, and the latter SO, whom
they concealed in their hotels, and afterwards sent
to BruziLs.

The town of Zurich was thrown into the greatest
distress on the ith instant, by a deplorable event.-.-
A company, consisting of sixteen married and single
l dies, embarked on the Limath to proceed to Die-
tition, a neighlsiuring village, tin- the purpose of
administering, told contributing their mite to the
subscription tiir the benefit of the sufferers in the
late destructive tire, which consumed Pearly the
%Thole village. An imprudent young mun, wliu
joined the company, amused himself uy making the
boat roll from side to side, and terrified some of the
ladies so utuch,as to make them quit their
and lay hold of unc another. The consequence was,
that the Ismt up,ct, tout the whole company were
' immersed in the water, toot only one of the wiode
was saved. This lamentable event has cover,.3 the
town with mourning.

YIMPI R BILL.F.AI i 11 VI I I I ilSTins" on the

order of the day for going into a comm., tee on toe timber
chilies bill, and detailed to the house, f coin Cie report of
the committee on foreign trade, the object of the bill,
which was to afford protection to the North American
timber trade, the Callittlit met chants having some claim
upon the covet 'intent, in consequence of the ettetatrage-
silent held out to them during the blockade of the Baltic,
under the system of Boonaparte. The noble earl con-
cluded by moving the committal of the hill.
The Earl of• LAUDERDALE addi essed the house at
considerable length, in answer to the noble earl, and op-
posed the bill he all its details. lie strongly deprecated
the policy which gave advantage to the American timber
trade. Nothing but the desire to keep the rotten ships in '
the transport service afloat, could have induced his Ma-
jesty's government to sanction the measure. It war well
known that the American timber was not equal to the
Baltic. The quality was inferior, inasmuch as it was sub-
ject to the dry rot. In the committee on foreign trade,
lie put this question to one of the witnesses—Suppose a
house was built in London, of Norway timber of the best
quality, and you valued it at 6,0001. what value would
you put on a house of the same denomination built of
American timber ?—'llte answer was, " I would not re-
cumuli ud any person who employed me to purchase such
a house at any rate." The noble earl considered the ad-
vantage given to the American timber trade no better than
a colonial job. It was an arrangement which gave a
bounty of 11. ■ lcii, over and above the rate of transport
and freight. He did not wish to go into all the calcula-
tions, because it was geuerally known that the bill would
be most injurious to the Baltic trade. With respect to
the bounties ou Baltic timber, he dept crated the advan-
• (age given to Russia over Norway isllll Sweden. 'fbe bill
gave a precedent to a new exclusion never before recog-
iezed in the commercial code. It was this—they laid
ibeir duties in a way that 11. 6s. was imposed less on deals
than upon block timber. That arrangement was injurious
to the intcrests of the country, inasmuch as the Widish
• mills were neglected. 'I he policy had hitherto been
1.1 encourage the saw mills, but that policy was no lunget
cansideied. The merchants and maiiisfactuters of• this
country could never benefit by a system of policy which
via, !literal to foreigners and injurious to England. Cutler
al the eitcniustaiters, his objection to the bill was so
• ong, that he moved it be committed this day six
mouths.
1-rod ELLF.N BOROUGH said, if this bill was thrown
wit, he ti listed shatethitig would he dime to itriatige this
imi•m taut subject. lie could not admit the bill was a
r .1.'1)141 job, but it appeared that a gt eat naval force was
10 tie kept by a tax on one description of persons, namely,
the purchasers of limber. That tax was certainly unjust.
It would be Loiter policy to iris, a bill making the public
at large coot t inn te to the support of the Canada shipping.
He considered the bill nothing less than a measure estab-
l.stking a bounty to iuuuduce the dry rot into buildings
aud houses. lie cum:oared in the view ultra by his

that many cases were cases of hardships.
The petition was presented and Lead.
SIPPLY.—The CHANCELLOR or the• EXCHEQUER
moved, that the house go into a committee of supply.
Mr. CREEVEY, before they went into such committee,
thought it right to bin% forward a resolution respecting
the charge of 5,9001. for fortifications in Barbadues. He
objected to this grant, because there was *heady created
a hind to meet such expenditure, he meant the four and
a half per cent. leeward i•lamd duties. lle had already a
general notice on the books on the subject. (Hear, hear,
train the ministerial beaches.) He did not know what
they meant by heat ; but he wished they would attend.
There was a fund already provided, and why then was the
house to agree to this grant?—(Cheers.)-1 he hon. mein-
ber then desired the clerk to read the resolution of the
house on this subject in Queen Anne's reign, her Majesty
eventually directing ttiose duties to be irepi opt-Bated to
the repairing of the toi ts, fartilications, &c. (Hear.)
fiiis WAS the way in which the funds ought to be used;
but, instead of so doing, the money was divided amongst
Celt:nu lords ani ladies, their daughters and other females
—but inure porticoldr ly among,' tile r •eltuu of tot ot-
hers of• parliament ; and then when he CJIIIU dti%
complain of this, there was Ott op a shouting alid homing,


as if he had mentioned something most preposterous—and
what was still mule decent, official persons came down
mid voted fur themselves against the public. 'this was
the ease respecting the three lords of the admiralty; they
not only vole,' away the public money, but they voted the
money into their own pockets. Such parsons—persons
who were interested in the isine, ought not to vote; and
quoted cases in Itiol, and other periods, when
persons under such circumstances withdrew. Mr. H.
added, that the practice had grown into disuse, but fur.
titer remarked, that it was indecent In the house not to
revive such practice. He (Mr. C.) thought that the ex-
isting practice was a scandal to the louse, and concluded
with moving an amendment, embodying the sentiments
and facts respecting the leeward islands, sc.

Sir C. LONG said, it lie remained silent he should he
condemned, and if he spoke he should he termed an in.
teresred person; so that either way lie should be con.
deinned. The leeward island dailies were granted, he
contended, in an unconditional manner; it was the here.
ditary revenue of the ctown—but he admitted that there
was an exception in favour of Barbadoes, fur the erection
of forts, &c. He should nut go into the question fully
now ; it had been grained, as now, fur upwards of a can.
tury, without complaint from pailiament. Besides, since
that period, Barbadoes had been made a naval depot, and
as that was tile case, it came properly before parliament.
Further, all the legal atithinitivs had admitted the legality
of the present mode of appropi Minim He thought there
was no ease made out, and he should therefore resist the
amendment.

Sir F. BURDETT was surprised to hear it said that no
case was made out. Tile troth was, the money had been
applied to the corrupting nlewbets of the house; and if
the practice had lasted fur a century, that might be
one reason why they found themselves in the present
If the funds were the crown's still, like all its revenues,
they were to be used fur the benefit and unit for the detri-
ment of the public. (Ileat. bear.) It never enitlil be
meant that such duties were to be granted for pensions,
&c. He hoped at least that this motion would not be
inefficacions; that the house M wild not be tinned aside
by such a gross mass of contradictory representations as
had assailed them from all quartos. He trusted that the
house would support the amendment.
Mr. WULF3t/10T defended the mode of applying the
lee a ard island duties—it had the Warrant of IlaVing long
been sanctioned by parliament. Whenever the ipiestion
should come more distinctly before them, he should be
prepared to meet it more fully; lie should then be pro.
vided with documents.
Mr. MUNCK said, that the address of the mover of the
amendment had received no answer whatever. Though
Barbadoes had only been named in the appropriation,
and the amendment confined itself to that island, it could
not be consalried for the purpose of being squandered
amongst fasoni lies. It arsine:int for national purposes. As
to nut having looked to the matter for a emit nry, was that
any authority for pnisuing a bad comae? The island
was altered in its titillation, it Was said—there were
greater expellees; and W. 14 not that a reason for not
hem; atone Illqa iV ato their :hods? (Hear, hear.) And
had out the situation of this island altered? Hail it ever
before such debts, such millions of debt and taxes—such
an at my and a navy in time of peace? Under these cir-
ceinstances, they were hound, as honest guardians of the
public purse, to take care of their tesourees. (Hear.)
The gallery was then cleared for a division. The num-
beis were—Fur the amendment, .56—Against it, 1:10
Majority, 2S.
THE CORONATION.—On re-entering the gallery, we
found theliuuse iii a committee, and

•
Mr. MONCK wished to learn whether there was any
preparation ru6king fur the reception of the Queen, and
whether,hi consequence, any aunt in addition to the
100,01.01. more, would iii consequence be repaired? He
had heal ri, but lie would not believe the scandal, that
while seats were ;tiepin Mg for peeresses, none was or-
dered for the Queen, who Wuc as much the Queen as the
King was King of these realms.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought
there was but much analogy between voting pay for artil-
lery and dragoons and the coronation expeuditure. He
hail not ligard that any application was to be made for
more money 01) account or tile coronation.
Lord LONDO\UEttitI at id, lie would not hesitate on
a flout of practice ; lie was ready to say that neither he nor
any other of Ibe servant, of the crown wet e not prepared
to exercise the unbounded preen:olive in the way in which
ime seemed to desire. if any opposite, in their discretion
or indiscretion, were tosepured to raise a question an the
subject, he was newly to meet it; but oil tlimr heads be the
consequences —Hear, hear, hear.) The Queen was Consort
of the K in the eye of the lair, ttudatihiedly, bat it was
tile prero;;.•rive of the Kind tu say woo shuulJ uuJ %ins
should orn ellend bin) at his Cololl.ltion.

Mr. BBOU(ill AN! had not expected [bat any such ques-
would be rai...d here—but iii Supply all grievances stele ht
matter of lay( uight:un. As to the question that had been
aiiitateit, he shoold not now say any thing respecting ; he
only a isiied to guard himself asaitu.t lis beiog imagined, by
his silence, that lie asseilleil to the proposition of the noble
lord, that it was the andustlited prerogative of the Ktu g to
dries mine w Ito should attend hint in his royal coronation,
to the exclusion of certain parsons,
°anti a ace FoTIMATIS.—Mr. WARD then moved a
grant of 94,3001 for us tilleu II: meatus, tke.
41 r. II USI E opposed the giant. It was greater than ti as
haul in the American star; he proposed a reduction ut
ia,oool. which could be elfocted aiihuut any reduction of
tile number of men, by attacking the shill', &c. 1 t was not
it question of elk wail, but one of expunce ; therefore,
unless some better reasons were given, he could not see how
the committee could agree to the grunt T If a better case
were nut adduced, he was at a loss to imagine they could do
otherwise than agice to the reduction of tile grant, at least
15,0)01. (Hear.)
Sir 11. HARM NGE defendad the grant, knots in.!, as a
uniliiary man, its propriety persons of a certain " figure
of mind" mere required to keep up the full establishment of
officers. A contrail y course would be most pernicious.
Mr. G. BEN N ET 1' said, that to put in comparison a slate
of peace o Oh that of war was to hring tir•elher opposites;
hut the questson scat, t% hat was the integral force requisite
fur t he country ?
The grant of 8,7101. for the milkersl establishment ord-
nance was also moved; but 51r. Hume proposed a reduction

partment, Mr. Hume opposed the motion altogether.

The next resolution was for 111,8301. for Ireland.

extreme. The expenditure in the store keepers department
was greater than it wes in the some department in England t
it was upwards, of 11,0001. and might be reduced to 40001.

Mr. WARD contended that the stun proposed was not
more than adequate for the services required.

After a few words from R. Ward, strangers were ordered
to withdraw, and the committee divided, when the numbers

Mr. It ItOfin EN then read a resolution the house, that a
sum of 299,5531. be grunted to hi' Majesty, for the purpose of
defraying lialf.psy superannuations, and pensions to officers
of artillery, &c.
After a few words from Mr. Hume, the resolution was
agreed to.
'Flue nest resolution was, that ri sum, not exceedhig
39,1331. I ls. 3d. be granted to his Majesty for the purpose
of defraying widows' pensions, and retired allowances iu
England.
Mr. HUME complained that there were many individuals
on this list who might have been placed in some of the 87
offices which had hen tilled up by prisms, who had been
introduced for the first time into the ordnance service. A
saving of 6,0001. might have been created in that manner.—
He thought that the only way of putting a stop to the
profusion with which goverument placed individuals upon
this list was refusing the money to pas the pen4ions. He
added up the half !lay of those who had not perforn eil nine
years' service, amid he found that it amounted to 4,700 and
and odd pounds. He should propose that the resolution
be diminithed in amount by that sum.
After a few worts from Mr. J. Smith and Mr. It. War/,
the resolutioa was agreed to without a division.
Aftercertain other resolutions were passed, the Chairman
reported progress, and asked leave to sit again to-morrow.
Mr. ARBUTHNOT gave notice that on Friday next lie
should submit to the house the tinny es traordinaries.
The other orders of the day were then read, and the house
adjourned.
