HOUSE OF COMMONS.

This evening Sir Henry Parnell's motion for a Select
Committee " To inquire into the• items and amount of
the Civil List," will be pressed to a division, and there is
little doubt of its being carried if Sir Robert Peel should be
so ill advised as to refuse it,

[Scks,

We are glad to lean that care will he taken to have ac.
curate lists of all Members who shall vote for or again
the motion.

On to-morrow the trial of strength will take place on
Mr. Brougham's motion. The Duke of Wellington has
declared that he will not, while he is Premier, grant any
Reform in Parliament.

The nation, as a mass, now demands Reform, and we
hope the House of Commons will show, by a great ma-
jority, that they will entertain and consider the sulject of
Reform, in accordance with the wish of the country.
The motion will be for the House to resolve itself into a
Committee of the whole House to consider of Reform, and
in that Committee will be the time to canvass the several
modes of Reform, and adopt that which is practical and
can be passed through the Muse.

The consternation produced in this town on
the arrival of the intelligence that the KING was advised
to absent himself from the Loan MAYOR'S dinner, though
considerable, was by no means so great as at other places.
In one instance we know, from an authentic source, that
orders to the amount of 500/. were suspended until the
alarm had subsided, and passengers forfeited their coach-
fares rather than proceed to town.—Sheilidd courant.
We can only direct attention to our abstract
of the proceedings in the two Houses, where the reader
will Sind many forcible animadversions on the unstates-
manlike policy and contemptible drivelling of the Duke of
WELLINGTON and his colleagues. Thu Hero of Water.
lon has raised a storm about his ears which cannot be
allayed hut by his resignation. It is said, indeed, he will
not budge. But we shall see. His declaration against
Reform has sealed his fate, and opened a prospect for the
salvation of the country brighter and earlier than was ex-
pected.—Dor/gam Chronicle.
We admit that no precautions could have pre-
vented the Sovereign from hearing in the expressions of
the people how unpopular his Ministers were, and the Mi-
nisters did not like that their Royal Master should have
such unequivocal evidence of the little estimation in
which they were publicly held. Hence the advice
which has had such pernicious consequence, and which
makes Ministers justly chargeable with the moral cow-
ardice of fearing to encounter public opinion, fur we
believe they bad nothing &se to fear upon that day. It
insinuations had been poured into the Kino's ear, by any
party, of any danger personal to himself, it would be well
if he silenced them by such an answer as that which the
glorious ELIZABETH gave to the courtiers, who pretended
that there was a plot to assassinate her---" I will not be-
lieve any thing of my subjects that a parent migtt not
believe of his children."— iresintoreland Advertiser.
Notwithstanding the contradiction, " •on au-
thority," which has appeared in the Courier, of the re-
port of the Duke of WELLINGTON'S retirement, the opinion
in well-intorme.l circles is, that his Grace's resignation
has been in the KING'S bandit for some days, but that it
will not be accepted until the clamour raised against the
Duke shall have subsided. The Summon's opinion of
the Premier is understood to be far less favourable than it
was a month ago, and he will probably give the Whigs a
Iris), in which case, the Marquis of LANSDOWNE will take
charge of affairs, with the assistance of Earl Gime, Lord
flott.ano, Mr. Baonows.st, Mr. C. GRANT, &c. It is
needless to say that we shall rejoice at say change which
removes the Duke of WELLINGTON from office.— Stqford:

to the operation of commerce; he was a regular supporter
of the Catholic question, in the final suecess of which no
one rejoiced more warmly than he did; and when the
conduct of the British Government in respect to the attack
of France upon Spain, in 1822, was animadverted upon,
he took a prominent line in ha defence, deprecating the
war, which a more direct interference on our part would
infallibly have produced, upon the ground that, a war tin..
dertaken upon that occasion would have led to consequences
of most serious import; inasmuch as he felt persuaded that
the source of future discord in Europe, would be found not
in disputes about territorial limits, commercial pretensions,
or family claims to royal succession, hilt in greet differences
of principle as to internal government, where the desire of
maintaining uncontrolled authority, would be arrayed in
unmitigated hostility against the call for unqualified free-
dom ; a war in short of extremes, in which lawful autho-
rity and rational freedom might both be lost. May we
hope that we are not fated to see this contest raging in our

Eminent _Personages.
Duke CHARLES of Brunswick has left this
country. He quitted London on Tuesday morning, for
Calais, with the view of proceeding to the southern part
of Germany, but without visiting the French metropolis.
The newspapers have attributed this sudden departure
of the Duke to the intention of visiting his greed-
mother, the Margrevine of 'Janina, at Bruchsal. This
may be the cosy, although we have reason to know that
the Duke has not been latterly on very good terms with
this Princess ; but it appears certain to us that sonic
other object is connected with this journey, which time
may perhaps disclose. The night before his departure
the Duke wrote a letter to his Mammy, in which lee assigns
as the cause of hie del arture, his fear of disturbance
on the approaching Lord Mayor's Day ! Wand adds, that lie
does not wish to expose himself, for the third time, to the
dangers of a revolution, but will re-visit England at a fu-
ture period. The negociations of the End of Mutenexia
with him have, in consequence, been brought suddenly to
a close; and the mission of a Brunswick officer, named
114.usx, who had been sent here to the Duke by the Pro-
visional Government of Brunswick, is thus rendered of
no avail. We will here give a full account of the
state and maitre of these negociations (it is unneces-
sary to mention, that we derive them from a high autho-
rity). Immediately after his arrival in England, the Duke
burgh, Vienna, and
addressed Mernmiels to the Courts of London, Peters-
Berlin, in which he begged for the
suppression of the rebellion of Brunswick, and for his own
re-instatement in his dominions. Neither the Cabinet of
Vienna, nor that of Petersburgli, has communicated with
the Duke on this subject. Ger own Government hao,
however, in conjunction with the Court of Prussia, and
through the medium of the E trl ofAint Komi and of Baron
Bueow, the Prussian Minister in this country, laid before
the Duke the plan of a treaty, according to which ~hie Sts-
ateNs niurr Mess would retain the sovereign title of
and all Government Acts to he published in his name; but
that he should engage himself to give up the management
of ;shire fur ever to Prince WILLIAM of Brunswick, and to
receive as indemnification an eunuity of 50,0004 Every-
thing has been done on the part of the Earl of Apse-
Dun and Baron Bueow to induce the Duke to sign this
Treaty, and we can affirm that even his MAaesry and the
Duke of WZLEZtinToN have united their endeavours to
this end. But there seems to exist scarcely a hope of suc-
rest; and the question therefore is, what must be done ?
This much is Clear, that in Germany it is held desirable to
avoid the example of tl.e deposition of a German Prince
in consequence of an insurrection of his people. But if
the Duke will not consent to a voluntary abdication, he
must either be deposed or restored.... Court Journal.
