The SPeeches in the ilouse of Conunons last
night, at least on one sle,/partake too much of
kspirit which we must consider to be at once so
4legrading and dangerous, that it is impossible for
us to record them in our columns,' without at the

same time Lot only entering onr'earnest protest'
against them as depidely at variance with the sen-
timents of the British People, but also denounc-
ing them in the sevetest terms our pens can
e►:zploy.

We have no hesitation in asserting, that the
unbecoming language used by Mr. WfUT.BREAD
and his associates on the Opposition bench, in
speaking of . the Allied Sovereigns, is even to
themselves discreditable, and to their Country dis-
graceful. Such abusive epithets applied to per-
sons so powerful anal elevated, has a tendency to
lower our national character all over Europe,
where such indecencies are- not permitted : Such
bold and unsupported slanders are calculated to
beget us many enemies, instead of consolidating the
peace of the world. But were we to discard entirely
from- our minds the peril. and injustice of such
gross proceedings ; surely, as a matter of taste,
We could wish the British Parliament to stand
higher in the esteem . of.
,mankind than the mere
theatre for vulgar declamation, wherein any in-
temperate person may, under the sanction of the
Chair, call the Sovereigns of other Countries—
" hucksters and trucksters"; vilify them per-
sonally with every opprobrious denomination,
aml broadly accuse them of " iniquitous and
infamous actions." We put it to the sense of the
Country—what would we say if we read reports
.of such unmannerly and irritating discussions
in the French Chambers, or in any other deli-
berative Body on the Continent ? Would we not,
and justly, exclaim against conduct so insulting
to our national feelings, so generative of hostile
Sentiments among the people of different coun-
tries, and so little 'to the honour either' of the
heads or hearts of those front whom it emanated ?

.URon the chief subject under consideration,
Genoa, we have scarcely a Nish to say any thing.
It is so obviously absurd to press on the discus-
sion of a tingle and a small insulated point, which
cannot be separated from greater and extensive-ar-
rangements which are yet inconiplete ; such a course
is, we repeat, so inconsistent with common sense as
not to require the labour of exposure. IV2TC any
thing wanted to demonstrate the folly of these pre-
mature and factious Cabals, it may be found in the
blundering feebleness of the harrangue of the No-
n-filial. Leader of the Talents, Mr. PossoNay.
iln order to raise an argument, he and his Friends
have, of necessity, recourse to their own imagina-
tions, whence they suppose what will be the de-
fences set up by Ministers, and these supposed
defences, it is but justice to say; are so feeble
as to be susceptible of hieing overthrown by the
very ingenious Gentlemen Who raised:theitt,.and
whose powers arc certainly not, of the highest
order. But we shall examine the question, when
its real merits and not its fitheied properties arc
k flown.

French Papers to the 20th arrived this forenoon.
The Gazette de Fr. uttee intimates, in a decided tone,
that the fate of Saxony is Cletermiated 5 that the
King retains his"crown, but. cedes about one-third
of his territories to Prussia. It also asserts gene-
rally, that matters are settled in a way favourable
to the views of France ; but-neither of these re-
ports arc corroborated by the other Journals.
BuoNArAr.TE; it is said, has banished the As-
sassin who attempted his life from Elba. We
should not be surprised if there Was something
politique under this'aflair.

It is rt/trnonred that the Ballyary Powers are to
be put down by authority.
.The following are the
chief extracts :

• " GExoA, F. 9.—Our august Sovereign ar-
rived the day before yesterday; great preparations
were made to receive his l`dajest)i, who had every
reason to be satisfied with the spirit by which we
are animated.

" The letters from the Isle of Elba state, that
litimnaparte has contented lair ;elf with banishing

the man who attempted to assassinate hiw fro in
,the
' His Majesty has issued several Edicts, which
are most watifyink to us. One of them relates
to the special-protection which ow commerce is
to receive hy expulsion of the Barbary Corsairs
from the Mediterranean. Those persons who
were the most determined against the union with

Sardinia, are beginning to change their opinion.

" Pants, FEB..lB.—The official news from Vi-
enna confirm the happy intelligence of favourable
termination of the \egociation respecting SaXony.
The legitimate Sovereign of that Country will re-
tain his crown, making,' however,. some cessions
to Prussia. Thus the legitimate rights of Sove-
reigns will remain untouched, which, as was ob-
served by M. TALLEY RAND in his Note of the 19th
thi:cctuber, is-the first and most important of po-
litical principles, because upon that depends the
existence of States, and the welfare of the people.
" The Kingdoin'of Saxony contained two mil-
lions of inhabitants ;„ it will, in future, contain
thirteen hundred thousand.

"The possessions of the Ducal Houses of Saxony,
Schwartzburg, and Hcuss-, which are connected
n) the Kingdom of Saxony, will prevent the domi-
nions o► Austria and Prussia from coining in con-
tact.with each other. The City of Leipsick will
not change its Master.

" We are assured that the King has appointed
,the Prince of Benevento Grand Chamberlain, and
the Duke of Rohan, Grand Ecuyer.
" The -repairs
_which his Majesty had ordered
to be made at the Palace of Versailles are nearly
completed.

". MADRID, FEB. 7.—Our new Minister of Fi-
nances has resigned his office, and has been suc-
ceeded by M.. Valleyo, Treasurer-General under
the reign of Charles IV.
" DRESDEN, FEB. 3.—The Prussian Provisional
Government .has ordered a contribution of some
hundred thousand crowns for the maintenance of
the Prussian and Saxon troops.
. " VIENNA, FEB. 6.—lt appears. certain that all
the great political questions are nearly terminated
to the satisfaction of all the parties interested.''

The following paragraphs from Brussels and
Frankfort Papers seem worthy of notice—that re-
lating to St. Domingo is curious, and, as the
Yankee Editors say " important if it be true" :

" VIENNA, FEB. 6.—The Austrian Observer con-
tains the following article :

" The arrival of the Duke of Wellington does
not a little contribute' to the splendour of the pre,
sent period, which will be for ever memorable in'
the annals of the city of Vienna. Though the in,
habitant§ of this capital are less ardent or less im-
petuous in the expression of their sentiments than
the French or the English, they do not the less
appreciate with heartfelt emotion, extraordinary
.services, and true greatness. The -warrior who,
by his glorious actions in Portugal and Spain,
gave. the first example- of a persevering and fortu-
nate resistance to a despotism which tended to the
dominion of the world, and who laid the first stone
of the liberty of Europe, has such well-founded
titles to the admiration and gratitude of his con-
temporaries, that wherever he chews. himself, all
hearts fly. to meet him. The Victor of Busaco, of
,Salamanca, of Vittoria, and of Toulouse, no
longer belongs to 'a single nation, but to the.
whole, and the Duke of Wellington must be
every whereat home." •

" ROME, FEB. I.—We are told to-day that the
Neapolitan troops are advancing in the Marches,
along the Adriatic, and that they occupy the three
•
Legations,

" BRUSSELS, FEB. 17.—The King of Napks is
givingfeteS and .reyiewing his troops. His army
is estimated at 40,000 foot, 18,000 horse, 6,300
artillery, 6000 Guards, 4;200 Marines, and 15,000
free corps, the Corsican Legion, and -other fo.'
reigneis—total,. 89,500 men, without counting
the National Guard.

"• News coming from a good source affirm that
at the Congress of Vienna all the Powers have
covenanted that the possession of St. Domingo
should be guaranteed by a solemn act to Louis
XVIII.; that in consequence England itself and
the other Maritime Powers,. if necessary, would
contribute to the armament and the expedition.
In this manner the conquest of that vast colony,
which is of such inestimable value to France,
would be easily effected, and the occupation of it
would leave no room for future fears."

The accounts front Genoa in the French Papers
are perhaps as apropos and severe a satire upon
the revolutionizing orations of " the Talents" in
Parliament as could be desired.
