conduCt.

Mr. WISHART seconded the Resolution, but we
had not time to wait for his eloquent effusions.

Government have received accounts from Cadiz.
Every thing going_on well there, but nothing of
importance had recently taken place.

Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY yesterday brought forward
his. Motion for the liberation of Mr. GALES JONES,
not.upon 'the ground that the commitment was il-
legal, but incause he conceived that the imprison-
ment which he had already suffered was an adequate
punishment for the crime. The Motion was opposed
upon the ground that Mr. GALE Junes had not pe-
• titioned. The SPEAKER being referred to with res-
pea to the praelicd of the House in cases of this
kind, sta(ed, that instances had occurred where a• per-
,son committed to the moody of the Serjeaut at
Arms , have been liberated without a petition; .but
there was no instance, he believed, to be found on
the Journals where a perstm committed to,gaol by
the House had been liberated without a petition.—
' This being the usage of Parliament, the House were
of opinion that there was nothing, in the case of
Mr. .ALE JONES that ought to induce Them to de-
• part from their regular [node of proceeding, :and
t. therefore they rejected the Motion. .

The notice of an anion served by Sir F. BURDETT,:
upon the SPEAKER of the Hiuse of Commons, is
said to be defedive, as it states the Baronet's house,
where he was arrested, to be in the parish of St.
James, in the County of Middlesex, whereas it is in
the parish of St, George, in the county of Middlesex.
A gentleman is in town from Lima, who arrived'
from thence. in the latest vessel which has reached
Cadiz. He has informed us, that a spirit of incur-_
reaion had been sheWn by the people, arising from
a. difference of opinion as to the mode of their fu-
ture government. At one time it appeared that the
majority was in favour of independence; but, ere
long, it was determined to abide by the original
laws, and that, so long as the mother country.
should be governed by the Junta, and that body
able to dispense its law from any part of Spain, so
long would those laws be faithfully maintained by
the Government and people .of Peru. But should
Spain be ultimately compelled.to. yield to ,France,
whereby her. Government would be -annihiWed, it
was to remain with the people of Peru 'fa establish
an independent ' government. They had firmly
sworn to resist" any Offer which could be, made to
them from the Buonaparte,race.
