THE NATIONAL RE(IISTER

The LORD ADVOCATE said be was in reality but imper-
fectly acquainted with some of the particulars of the case ; he,
however, had only to require that the House would suspend its
judgment till enquiry was to take place. He had no objection
to the production of any of the papers.
Mr. BROUGHAM was glad to hear that at last there was to
be enquiry into the ease. He certainly could aot but marvel
much at the change that had takes place iu the course of about
4S boors ; for now those opposite held the very opinions that
were maintained by the supporters uf the motion on the former
night. The ° great wisdom" of the House had then decided
that there should be no enquiry ; the numbers to be sure ran
pretty equal ; but now there ass to be an investigation. lle
had misuaderstoml the decision of the I louse, it seemed ; he was
glad of it ; for be was persuaded that enquiry sooner or later
must take place.
MASSACRE AT SCto.—Mr. W. SMITH adverted to the
dreadful massacre that hod taken place at Brie of the Greek
hostages, and enquired whether any advises had been received
on the subject. He understood that seventy or eighty persons
had fallen victims to the massacre ; and lie wished to know
whether they were in any way protected by the English autho-
-1
rities !
Lord LONDONDERRY said that intelligence had undoubt-
edly been received. It was one of those fatal results that
grew out of the calamitous mode of carrying on the wierfare on
both sides. lie understood that nut more than 12 or 15 per-
sons only were Greek hostages. They wer, nut under the pro-
tection of the English Authorities in such a way as to warrant
the interference of the government.
INTIRCEPTEDCWIRF.SPoNDENCE—Mr. BROUGHAM called
the attention of the House to a letter that had been published
in some newspaper. It purported to have been found in the
streets of Dublin ; it was from Mr. &rutin to Lord Nortnary,
iudoetng extracts from Lord Ross, calling on the learned Lord,
in the course of the circuits, to urge the neeessity of resisting
the Catholic Bill ; and where interests were concerned, and
some reluctasec shown, to use strong and comprehensible ar-
guments. He condemned the publication el a letter that must
have been obtained by improper means ; and he should like to
know whether any enquiry would be instituted respecting it !
Mr. PEEL was sure that the publication must be condemned,
but he could not pledge himself to the adoption of any course

of proceeding.
1 he Report of the Salt Tax resolutions baying been brought
up,
Mr. CURWEN moved as an amendment, that Ike tax be
totally repealed.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER and Mr.
LUSIIINGTON defended the Resolution/a, coutending that
further reduction could not take place.
A long debate followed, and ultimately the blousedivided—
For the resolution 101—For die intendment 92—Majority in
favour of the revolution 12. _

On our re-admission into the gallery we found
Mr. H UTCHI NSON urging the injurious effect which retain-
ing the 2s. duty would have on the provision of Inland. He de-„,
dared he would oppose the measure in every stage, and unless
it was given up, he would, night after night make such state-
ments of the misconduct of ministers towards Ireland, as would
make gentlemen's hair stand on end.—(A laugh.)
Lord LONDONDERRY said he was not at all intimidated
by the threats of the hon. gentleman, but still, as the question
was only as to the difference between English mid Irish currency,
we understood him to say he would advise his right hon. friend
to comply with the wish expressed by the hon. gentleman.
Mr. CALCRAFT flattered himself, that notwithstanding the
large majority of twelve to-ni4ht. they should, in the progress
of the 8111, succeed iu relieving the public from this obnoxious
tax. The resolutions were then agreed to, and a bill ordered
occordingly.
The Alien Bill was postponed to Monday.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave notice be
should certainly bring forward his budget on Monday. The
Bionic then adjourned.
