IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, FEBRUARY 26.
(Continued from our Paper of Saturday.)

The Marquis of CHANDOS took that opportunity of
observing upon the intimation thrown out by Ministers on
a former day, that if they were unsuccessful in their mea-
sure of Reform they would dissolve the Parliament. That
threat was, in his opinion, most improper ; and when the
state of foreign affairs and the present condition of this
country were considered, he asserted that such a course
was one which no Ministers ought to dare to adopt.

Sir JOHN,SEPRIGHT could not see how it would
he possible to prevent such a course being adopted ; the
King, his Ministers, and the people, were in favour of
Reform, and therefore, if it was not carried, a dissolution
was inevitable.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.)
Petitions praying for Reform were also presented by
Sir H. Bunbury, from two places in Suffolk. By Mr.
Tyrell, from Bury St. Edmund's. This petition expressed
determined hostility to the vote by ballot. By Sit Wm.
Fawkes, from Cambridge. By Lord Stanley, from Liver-
pool. By Mr. Alderman Waldman, from the parish of
St. Andrew's, Holborn ; from Bread-street Ward; and
Coleman-street Ward. By Sir John Sebright, from
Hitehen and Bishop's Stortford, Herts. By Mr. Douai.,
from the county of Lanark. By Mr. Phillpotts, from
Gloucester. This petition prayed for vote by ballot. He
was st first oppost d to it, but as he considered it more he
found it less objectionable. By Alderman Thompson,
from the merchants, bankers, and others of the city
of London. This petition was signed by 32 bankers and
more than 700 merchants and traders of the first respec-
tability. By Mr. Kennedy from the city of Edinburgh,
signed by 21,700 individuals. After a few words front
Mr. DUNDAS and the Loan ADVOCATE,
The SPEAKER said, before I put the question that the
petition be received, may I ask the Hon. Member if he is
certain that it is a petition to the Commons ?
_ .

Mr. KENNEDY—No, Sir, it is not. I have dis-
covered a mistake ; this is the petition to the House of
Lords.—(Laughter.)
The petition was withdrawn. Mr. KENNEDY then
presented a petition from the merchants, hankers, and
others of Glasgow, praying for Reform, the petition was
signed by 35,11'5 individuals ; and also from four other
places in Scotland. The lion. Member having changed
the petition from Edinburgh, it was presented and ordered
to he printed.
Petitions were presented by the Lord Advocate from
three places in Scotland, praying for Reform and vote by
ballot ; by Sir Ronald Fergussona from Dundee, and se-
veral other places in Fifeshire : they all prayed for vote by
ballot, and he (Sir IL F.) was of opinion that 19 out of
every 20 persons in Scotland were favourable to vote by
ballot—(Hear, hear)—by Mr. John Wood, from Tad-
caster, in the county of York ; by Mr. Pendarves, from
Truro and parishes adjoining ; from Lostwithiel and an-
other place in the county of Cornwall, and alto from Chat-
teris, in the isle of Ely ; by Mr. Warburton, from
Shaftesbury, Alelksham, and Collie, in Wiltshire ; by Mr.
Herne, from Bath, the Isle of Wight, Leicester, and
Brighton.
Mr. HUME presented three petitions to the same effrct,
from the unrepresented inhabitants ol.' the parish of St.
111arvIebone, trer.. toe inhabitants of the parish of Mile
End Town, frent Dunshot, the inhabitants of Hammer-
smith, Hinckley in Leicestershire, Stepney, the Cabinet-
makers of Manchester, the Freeholders and other inhabi-
tants of Monmouth, the parish of Kilsyth in Scotland,
Kirkfield Bank, in the parish of Liemahago, Kilburn, in
Renfrew, the Incorporated Trades of Leith, the Incorpo-
ration of Weavers in Selkirk, the inhabitants of Irvine,
the inhabitants of the county of Caithness, several villages
in the county of Durham; a petition from an individual
named William Moreland, praying that none but heads of
familiesbe invested with the privilege of voting; he thought
that that was a -proposition not likely to prove very pa-
latable to the bachelors ; the second was from an indi-
vidual named Beckford, praying for what he conceived to
amount to almost universal suffrage. The name of the
third individual petitioner was not audibly announced.
Mr. LEGIT KECK presented petitions in favour of
Reform, from Long Wotton, and two other places.
Mr. HOBHOUSE, who had several petitions to pre-
sent, said that from hit knowledge of the general senti-
place which he represented, he was enabled to
anent of the
say that no Reform coal give satisfaction there—and he
was sure throughout the country at large—unless it in-
cluded vote by ballot, short Parliaments, and suffrage co-
extensive with direct taxation. In the course of the con-
versation (to which the petitions presented that day gave
rise), he had not heard one Hon. Member nay that he was
prepared to oppose the measure of Reform, and that at
least was a new feature, and one well deserving of notice.
He had only to add, that the general expectation out of
doors was, that the measure would be carried. The peti-
tions which the Hon. Member presented, were from the
inhabitants of St. Anne, Westminster several benefit so-
cieties in Westinster, from a parish in Galway, and from
t wo other places.
J,.ord BERESFORD precented a similar petition

from the county of Waterford, agreed to at a cou.ity meet-
ing convened by the High Sheriff, at which he presided.
Mr. O'CONNELL supported the prayer of the petition.
Sir F. BURDETT had several petitions to the same
effect to present from various parts of Wiltshire, all uniting
in the expression of a wish that such a Reform might he
agreed to by the Legislature, as shculd satisfy all reasonable
men—one that might'at the same 'time prove effectual and
consistent with the existing institutions of the country.
Amongst those which the, Hon. Baronet presented, were
petitions from• Birmingham, Colne, and several other
places.
Lord EBRINGTON presented similar petitions from
Devonport, Tiverton, Dartmouth, Huntingdon, Stockton-
on-Tees, &c. &c.

Lord MORPETH had to present an important petition
from Leeds, in favour of Reform. It was agreed to at a
meeting where 5,000 persons were present, and it re-
ceived the signatures of no less than 17,000 individuals.
He was requested by the petitioners to state, that they
hailed with high satisfaction the dismissal of a Ministry
opposed to the great measure of Reform, and the accession
to office of an Administration known to have declared
themselves in its favour. The petitioners desired to have
the elective franchise transferred from rotten boroughs to
populous towns and districts—to have the duration of
Parliaments limited to three ye trs. They urged further,
that they considered the vote by ballot as indispensible;
they demaniled that all elections should commence and be
concluded in one day throughout the whole kingdom, in
order to which the votes should be taken in districts.—
There was no petition more deserving the attention and
respect of the House.
Mr. J. JOHNSTONE supported the prayer of the pe-
tition.

Mr. SCHONSWAR likewise supported it, rejoicing
that the Ministers had at length taken up the important
measure of Reform, determined to bring it forward upon
their responsibility.
Lord MORPETH presented similar petitions from the
Political Union of Sheffield ; from the contiguous parishes
of Aldborough and B.roughbridge ; also from Margate,
Sanford, Heppenstail, Kirkeaton, Almonbury, Westbury,
Wells, and other places.
Mr. GEORGE ROBIN*ON (as we understood) pre-
sented a similar petition from Northampton, urging
especially the necessity of the ballot.
Mr. WEBB presented a similar petition from the city
of Gloucester.

Mr. SANFORD presented a petition to the same
effect from Yeoville, expressing the determination of the
petitioners to support the Government in their present
excellent intentions and praying earnestly for the vote by
ballot.

Sir W. INGLEBY presented petitions from Knaresbo-
rough and Holbeach.
Col. SIBTHORPE supported the prayer of the peti-
tions as far as regarded Reform of Parliament, and re-
gretted that he could not approse of the vote by ballot.
Mr. FARI)ELL also spoke in favour of the petition.
Sir W. INGLEBY also presented a petition with the
same prayer, from the freeholders of Lincolnshire. It was
signed by the Sheriff on behalf of the county. Until the
system of voting by ballot was established there could be
no adequate representation of the people. The Magistrates
of this country bad the power to compel the little paupers
of the country to maintain their parents, and he, with the
petitioners, saw no reason why the great paupers should
be exempted from the same burden, which was thrown
upon the State.
Sir R. HERON was in favour of vote by ballot, though
he was far from wishing that it should form a part of the
plan of his Noble Friend (Lord J. Russell.) It might be
made a distinct measure. _ _ _

Mr. O'CONNELL presented petit n, of the same kind
from Carlow, and a parish of Wicklow. Also, for the
Marquis of Blandford, from Chippenham, the city of Ox-
ford, and from the parish of St. David's, Oxford.
Mr. HUNT said that he had four and twenty petitions
in favour of Parliamentary Reform, all praying for vote
by ballot, many of them for universal suffrage, and all for
a great extension of suffrage. He particularly censured
the hasty manner in which petitions were presented and
passed over in the House—and observed, that if the people
of Birmingham could have seen the little ceremony with
which an Hon. Baronet (Sir F. Burdett) had laid their
petition upon the table, it would have been almost enough
to have excited a revolt, or at least to have prevented the
people of Birmingham from ever petitioning the House
again. He then presented his petitions : Worcester, Ash-
ton-under Lyne, Blackburn, Lonfield, Kingsbury, Bolton,
Manchester, Lalebam, UndershBm, Petersfield, Paisley,
Rotunda in Blackfriar's-road, Gisborough, Forfar, Rad-
ford, Newark, &c. He most earnestly supported the
pr iyers of the various petitions, and especially those that
required universal suffrage and vote by ballot. Ile wished
Ministers to know that a declaration was circulating in
Lancashire and Cheshire, among all the young men, that
if they wire not allowed a share in the representation, they
would rather rot in gaol than serve in the militia.
Mr. DENISON said that he was, and always had been,
a steady and zealous friend to calm and rational Reform,
but he was and had been equally opposed to the wild and
visionary schemes of vote by ballot and universal suffrage.
Mr. HUNT then brought up his petitions, and they
were read and laid upon the table.
Mr. CAMPBELL 'resulted a petition of the same
kind from Bothwell.

Mr. C. DUNDAS• presented a petition for Reform
from Richmond. _

Sir J. BURKE laid upon tho table a petition from
Galway, praying among other things, the vote by ballot.
The lion. Baronet expressed his concurrence in this prayer,
and then presented a like petition from the town of Galway.
Mr. O'GORMAN MAHON supported the prayer of
the petitimr.
Mr. C. CALVERT presented petitions from South-
wark, and from the parish of St. John's, Surrey,
Mr. TUDOR presented a petition for Reform from
Barnstaple.
Lord GRIMSTONE presented a petition from St.
Alban's for a moderate and Constitutional Reform.

Mr. BROW LOW presented a petition for Reform,
from Belfast, and expressed his opinion decidedly in fa-
vour of the vote by ballot. The Hon. Member presented
similar petitions from Lurgan, county of Armagh, from
Navan. county of Meath, and front the town of Armagh.
Mr. HODGES presented similar petitions front Ro-
chester and other places in Kent.
Mr. DENISON presented similar petitions from St.
Mary's, Newington, Lambeth, and several other places in
Surrey.
Lord TAVISTOCK presentel a similar petition from
Luton.
Mr. SAVILLE LUMLEY presented similar petitions
from Mansfield and Bucknall Thornton.

Mr. RUSSELL presented similar petitions from Ches-
ter-le-street, and various other places in the county of
Durham.
Sir ROBERT PRICE presented similar petitions from
Ross, and other places of Hereford. The petitioners of
Ross prayed that that ancient borough might be restored
to the privilege of returning Members.
Sir THOMAS ACLAND presented a similar petition
from a place in Devonshire.
Captain BOUVERIE presented a simiLr petition from
New Sarum.

Sir J. GRAHAM presented eight similar petitions from
places in Scotland, and a petition from Cockermouth.
Mr. E. ELLICE presented a similar petition from an
individual at Portsea.—Adjourned at a Quarter past Six,

RESIGNATION OF H. WILLOUGHBY, ESQ.,
LATE M,P. FOE NEwAßE._Newark was on Friday last
a scene of much bustle, from the report that H. WIL-
LOUGHBY, Esq. who had been the representative for
twenty-five years, had resigned ; to trace it to a correct
source was the first point of each party, and about three
o'clock, a hand-bill was circulated bearing the late Hon.
Member's signature, and announcing the fact.

Considerable surprise I:as been expressed that
so many election complaints have been settled on the very
first day of the meeting of the Election Committees; hence a
violent suspicion has arisen that the parties to the hostile
petitions have deemed it cheaper to await the result of the
great probabilities °flan early dissolution, to contesting
matters, before such expensive tribunals, for probab'y a few
weeks' seat.-161orning Herald.

A correspondent of an Evening Paper, who j
is sorely troubled lest the Ist of March and Lord JOHN
RUSSELL should '' lay our venerable institutions in the
dust," suggests, amongst sundry other " plain and practical
considerations," that " we should restore to the Nobility
the feudul privileges of which they hare been deprived,"
if the claims of the people for Reform he conceded by the
Ministry. lie considers, however, that "in comparison
with Reform, plague, pestil nee, and famine, would he to-
lerable evils ;" that " Reform would be adding strength to
that which is already too strong;" and that, therefore, any
improvements" should be directed in quite an opposite
course—" not to increasing the number of the privileges of
those who elect, but to raise the qualification of those who
are elected." We should like to know in what corner of
the bowels of the earth this writer has been domiciled
during the last 30 years. It is quite absurd to suppose
that he could have imbibed such sentiments if he bad
walked abroad in the world, in habits of intercourse with
any portion (). the genus man...—Morning, Herald.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Gazette de France of Saturday, Feb. 26.)

" PARIS, FEB. 25.—A courier arrived yesterday after-
noon from Rome with despatches from the French Lega-
tion for the Government. It is said that he has stated,
that at the very moment of his departure the people were
fighting in the streets of Rome. His Holiness had visited
several quarters of Rome, and frequently alighted ; he
was received with extraordinary enthusiasm, and testi-
monies of the most perfect attachment. In the quarters
of the Transleverius and that of the Monti, the people
wanted to take the horses from the carriage of his Holiness,
crying Santo Padre nontemete de milla not siamo pronti
per defenderoi ma lasciate ci fare.' These troubles were
excited by strangers who were with great difficulty
saved from the fury of the people, and there is no doubt
of its being the result of some Buonapartist plot The
Papal troops, and the great majority of the population,
have behaved with equal courage and fidelity. The Sove.
reign Pontiff afterwards retired to the Castle of St. An-
gelo, where his Holiness may await without danger the
end of the troubles.
" Two proclamations have been published : one by Car-
dinal Bernetto, pro-Secretary of State, the other by Mon-
signore Cdpelette, Governor of Rome ; the first appealing
to the civic guard of Rome to second the fidelity and the
efforts of the troops of the line ; the other ordering strangers
who have not been settled for a year, to quit the capital
in 24 hours.

'6 The Courrier Francais says—' Singular reports cir-
culated to-day in the Chamber. It was announced, as
certain, that the Ministers were no longer disposed to dis-
solve the Chamber of Deputies. The explanation given
by M. Lafitte, in answer to M. Bourdeau, and the habitual
contradictions of the Minister, render such a change of
purpose not improbable, however absurd it may be.'
" La Tribune says—qt was reported this evening that
M. Lafitte was to quit the council, and that Casimir
Perrier was commissioned to compose a new ministry to
give entire satisfaction to the centres. Though we must
be prepared for any thing, we find it difficult to believe
this news.' At this moment scaffoldings are raised round
the church steeples to take down the crosses. While the
Administration orders such a measure, M. Lafayette de-
clares against this destruction of the emblem revered by
the Christians, and protests against this violation of the
liberty of religious worship.
The Courrier Francais says—' It is strange we
should complain of the arbitrary measures of M. de Monta-
livet to procure a plot. The Courrier pretends that the
restoration has set the example of all sorts of violence. All
the world knows that the liberal party was engaged in con-
conspiring against the restoration. For fifteen years was
legal order ever violated to obtain information respecting
the comite directeur and the societies of Carbonari ?
Were the houses of Messrs. Lafitte, Lafayette, Ste. ever
forcibly entered to find arms against them ? And if such
acts had been committed, the Courrier and all the journals
of that party would not have found anathemas enough to
stigmatize the Government.'
" A day, however, will come, when men of all parties
will join in one opinion against the young Minister who
has taken upon himself the first revolutionary measure
against persons that has been ordered since the time of
the empire."

pedition is preparing with all haste, which is reported to

GOTTINGEN, FEB. 15,—There are still about three
hundred students here, who have private lessons, and fre-
quent the classical establishments and the library. In
order to obtain the permission of the Academic Senate to
remain in the city, each of them has been obliged to pro.
cure a certificate from a professor respecting his conduct,
and al•o to prove that he took n.) part in the troubles
which lately occurred itere.—Frankf,rtPaper, Feb. 10.

FRONTIERS or ITALY, FEB. 15.—We have 110 cer-
tain information respecting the further prograss of events
in Central Italy. A letter from Milan, of Feb. 11, says,
" We live here in perfect tranquillity."

A letter from Piacenza of the 10th says, " You doubt-
less know the news from Modena and Bologna ; here and
at Parma all is quiet. It is reported that Austrian troops
may be expected."
The Gazette of Bologna says the Papal Government
has ceased di fallo e di Dietto.
The new Government at Bologna, which thinks of in-
corporating Modena and Reggo with it, calls itself Fede-
razione Italica. It is said that blood has been shed at
Forli, and still more at Ancona.
It is rt ported that the King of Naples was about to give
a Constitution to his kingdom.

(From another Correspondent.)
FRONTIERS OF ITALY, FEB. 15.—1 n consequence of the
alarming accounts from Italy, several Austrian regiments,
under General Fritnont have received orders to be ready to
march at a moment's notice. The corps in Lombardy is
to be reinforced by 30,000 men from Stiria. General
Frimont will employ the troops under him according to
his own judgment, and, on the application of the several
Governments of Italy, sew! them wherever their service
appears necess try for the maintenance of order. The
conventions entered into with most of the Italian Princes
bind the Austrian Government to send them a certain
fixed contingent of troops, and to protect their tights.
The events in Modena, Bologna, and Ferrara, seem already
to have required the execution of the conventions, and to
have occasioned the march of four regiments under Field
Marshal Prince Benchiem, who, however, is said to have
halted for the present, and to have asked for further in-
structions. The Attstt i)n Government is said to be firmly
resolved to restore tranquillity in Italy, and to maintain it
by all the means which it has at its command. The prin-
ciple of non-intervention in the affairs of other states
set up on the part of France, even had it not been
esientially violated by the conference in London,
in which Prince Tallevrand has taken part, cannot
ho binding on any power, after the declarations made by
the Courts of Berlin, Vienna, and St. Petersburg!), that
they would never allow and recognise it, if circumstances
should require them to act for the maintenance of the ha-
Itive of power in Europe (to which declaration the French
Cali7net refrained from making any answer), or give just
ground for complaint from any quarter, even should the
treasures prepared against Modena be extended to other
parts of Daly. This is very likely to happen, as the in-
surrt ction commenced at Bologna is spreading, and
threatens tie temporal dominions of the Pope. It would
be unjust for the French Cabinet to complain of this, for
it would be very presumptuous to attempt to weaken, by
any kind of demonstration, the effect of conventions ha-
tween third parties, and to fancy itself free from the re-
proach of desiring to enforce the right of non-intervention
only in its own favour.
FRONTIERS OF ITALY, FEB. 16.—According to ac-
counts given by travellers, which are indeed by no means
to be implicitly relied on, two of the Members of the Pro
visional Government of Modena, who were distrusted by
others, have been murdered. No Austrian troops, had yet
entered Modena, but the Austrian garrison at Ferrara had
been considerably reinforced. Those travellers hear nothing
of the further spreading of the insurrection, but it is said
that great consternation prevails at Rome.

REFORM PETITIONS.—It is calculated that
between ten and twelve thousand petitions for Parliamen-
tary Reform have been presented, many of them signed
by ten, fifteen, and twenty thousand persons, most of them
adding their addresses to their name. The scene on Sa-
turday at the House of Commons was, perhaps, the most
remarkable that ever characterized the history of the right
of petitioning. On Friday, as well as on Saturday morn-
ing, hackney-coaches, porters, and footmen were arriving
with bundles of petitions ; and the ante-rooms, the vote-
office, &c. were literally crammed with them. There was
scarcely a spare room, closet, or corner, near or about the
lobby, that was not occupied with bundles of Reform pe-
titions. When the House assewb'ed the seats were sa
covered with bundles of petitions that, in many instances,
the Members found it difficult to find sitting-room for
themselves. It is the fashion of the that the
Speaker should call the names of those who have signed
the " Speaker's Paper" as having petitions to present ;
and be does so in regular succession ; but on this occasion
many Members waited five hours without their names
having been called, while others retired, after the exhaus-
tion of so many hours, without presenting the petitions
with which they were intrusted :—Those petitions, of
still remain to be presented; and many others ar-
dved
as
the House was about to adjourn.
