CHARITABLE FOUNDATIONS.

Lord CASTLEREAGH moved the Order of the Day
for the House to go into a Committee on the
Charitable Foundations Bill The Spealter having
left the Chair, the Noble Lord rose to give en
outline of the Bill.' He observed that the grin-
ciple of the Bill before the Committee;•was much
saute as that of a Bill relaying to the sameoh-
jects which passed the House lost Session; hut.
which Bill had returned ' troth 'the Lords so'
amended, as to be considerably: narrowed from
its .original purview ; for instead of authorising All
etlgttiry into the state public chat ities generally,
the amended Bill cot:finer the inquir'y to endow-
turnts for the edocatiou. Of the poor. The Noble
Lord stated hat it was an imperative public da(y
to enlarge the scope and operatiOns of that Bill by
1 a new one in the present Session. He then pru•

eeetled to show the alterntions which were

(P'com The Commercial ddrerti.cer of thelGth May.)

The British ship Lee, Captain BLACKER, of
guns, arrived at Charlestown on the Ist instant,
in put suit of three English seamen, who were
lately apprehended among others of the crew of
the piratical ship Lousia, and confined in the
,Charlestown prison. An appl►cation will be
made to the Judge of the Federal District Court,
by the British Consul, to have them delivered up
to be sent to England for trial.

There are so many reports respecting the al-
ledged Cession of PARGA, and they bear so bard
upon those who are supposed to be immediately
instrumental in advising that Cession, upon what-
ever motives, that we reAlly consider it as in-
cumbent on Government to give the fullest ex-
planation to the Public of the whole transac-
tion. It is well known that the Parguinotes
were most anxious to remain under the Govern-
ment of Great Britain, and in the most solemn
manner deprecated an assignment of them to Pny
other Power. We have too much confidence in
the integrity and wisdom of our Rulers, to sup-
pose it possible that they et-uld give any sanction
to the charges implied in the reports alluded to 3
but as the feelings of a people, feelings of mingled
attachment towards Great Britian, and of horror
at the danger of being transferred to another Go-
vernment, are concerned, and as motives of
policy rendered the retention, of the place desirable
to the British Empire, we confess that we do not
see any adequate cause for the alledged cession,
and repeat our firm conviction, that, for the ho-
nour of the national character, and to remove all
imputed stigmas from the Parties principally
implicated, no mystery should be suffered to
hang over the proceedings, but that they should
be fully investigated and fairly protnulgated, nor
can we suppress out• surprize that Sir C. MONCK
should appear to have retreated from the discus-
