would he extraordinary if, after the contrary opinions that
were expressed upon this question, the House should resolve
that no nitric information should be granted upon it. The
whole speech of the Noble Lord amounted to this—" 1, the
English Minister, am mat Teady to, do any thing against
Naples, so do not ask toe; but I tell you, Prince Metter-
inch-4 tell you, that were I you, I would do something."—
From' the statement of the Noble .Lord, it appeared that our
Minister attended the Congress without any power to take a
part its the deliberations of the Congress—so that, in fact,
ire had on that occasion -only a seat in the gallery, just to
hear what was going- on: and ..that as soon as the question•
was to he, put, whether the army should march, then stran-
gers were 'ordered to withdraw,—(A laugh !)—He had as
strung a wish as any one that the peace of this country should
be preserved. He was convinced that a pet feet understand
imp subsisted between the Cabinet of this country anti that of
AuStria ; and, if he was not misinformed, this; PoWer had
evinced:a disposition to interfere in the internal concerns of.
this country. On a late occasion, when there was some ru-
mour of a change of Ministry, he understood that-a remon-
strance front' Prince Metternich was presented 1)3/Abe AUS•
trims Ambassador against any change of that kind, to-his
Majesty.—(Hear, hear !)—He firmly believed that the Noble
Lord approved in his heart of every *log which wits now
doing try AuA Fla and her Allies.—(Hear !) •
Mr. ROBINSON defended the continct-of this Government ;.
and conteoded that the honour of this Country required the
declaration contained-its thecircolar whicls had been so much
conimented upon. As to the remonstrance which had been
alluded to, he knew of no such existing, though be was not
surprised at credit being given to its existence, when he con-
sidered that persons of high authority and character had as-
serted
it didso. Neither was he surprised that Prince Met-
-ternich should have been alarmed at the idea of his Noble
Friend going out of office, and being succeeded by the person
in qtrestion,that person having also, in conversation, declared,
that, should hs come into power, his first act should be to
bring back Rnonaparte to Europe.
Mr. TIERNEY trusted the House would indulge him with
a few words in explanation. It was impossible the House
should Misunderstand. the allusion of the ltigtrt Honotiro-
hle Gentleman—it was. an allusion to himself—it was he
Tierney) who was 501",./aoteiLto have held this conver-
sation respecting the.xemonstrance and the return of Buono
parte. It was not till the present moment, however,
.that he
could have imagined a being, s 6 insignificant as himself, could
have inspired the great Sovereigns-, assembled at Troppan,.
and their powerful Ministers, with alarm. Ile bad also heard
that his Majesty had been informed of this conversation, and
at the same time had been told it could certainly be only said
as a joke. To this lie understood Isis Majesty good-buttress.-
edly observed, it might be a joke ; but such Jokes ought to
he punished with a fit of the gout.—(A laugh.)—To return,
him-ever, to the Sovereigns and their alarm. He must request
the Noble bud, in his next dispatch to -Prince Metternich, to
set this alarm at rest, and .assure his Highness, that. if he
(Mr. Tierney) had said such a thing-, be w 35 certainly only in
joke; and that he woUld.joke on this subject no more, since
its consequences were so serious.

Mr. J.W. WARD could not rote fur this motion, because
he could not withdraw his confidence from Ministers, whom
be considered sincere in their declarations. Ue, however,
connemned the conduct of the Allies towards Naples, which
he considered more objectionable than any part of the con-
duct of Buonaparte, whose,career was opera and attended with
glury,..whilst the proceedings of the Holy Alliance had been
concealed and dark. He was, however, decidedly of opinion
the policy of this country should be peace, and notwithstand-
ing what had been said on this subject he was convinced we
were safe. We were safe because we were strong, and well
it was for its that we were strong, foe by our conduct on tli!s
occasion we bad drawn on ourselves the jealousy and hatred
of those great persons whose schemes our policy had opposed.
Mr. BROUGHAM did not rise in expectation of adding
any thing to what had been said by the last Speaker, hut to,
express his hope that the Congress of Laybach would not
consider the vote of the House.lo night as a vote in their
favour, since the vote of to-night decided nothing as to the
conduct and acts of that Congress. The Honourable
Member then adverted to the probable contest. between
Naples and Austria; fora war, a great and glorious war,
in defence of liberty,. he thought inevitable, though he
hoped, there was not the most distant chance of one
being drawn into it. Of the commencement of this
war Le could argue little favourable to Naples, but
of the final result he could have no doubts ; fur even
if subdued in the North, the Neapolitans would rise
in the South ; and if put down in the South, the spirit of
resistance would revive in the North. With respect to the
feeling of the Holy Alliance towards this Country, he hoped it
was not such as his Hon. Friend had described it ; for though
they disliked our- Constitution and form of Government,
yet they were always well inclined towards our subsidies. The
Won. Member concluded by again expressing his desire that
the House should divi4le,• and that however the numbers
might appear, it should-not go abroad to the Holy Alliance
that this House bad expressed any approbation of the conduct
of the Congress of Layhach.

Sir J. MACKINTOSH rose amidst a loud cry for the.fines-
lion, and made a brief reply. He said, he shouhl ever rejoice
that he had brought the proceedings of the Allies before the
House. He also rejoiced in the generous spirit which had per •
varied the House, and he declared his intention to ',less hi,
motion to a division. All that had been done against Naples
had been done upon the sanction of a new code of the laws
of nations• It had been stated, that a British Officer was
upon the Council of War which condemned the late King of
Naples to death. That assertion Wad been met with an ex-
pression of mirth, although it was a grave and serious sub-
set. The Noble Lord hail only said Le had no knowledge of the
fact. SoMe statement more satisfactory might have been ex-
pected from him.

Lord CASTIENEACM explained. Ile could not possibly
say more than he never heard of the eireumstance alluded to.

BILIGHTON.—On. Monday night his MAJESTY
opened the Royal Pavilion at Brighton with a
grand ball and supper. Upwards of 200 distin-
guished personages were invited on the occasion ;
and' in order to affoid every facility for the ar-
.rangement -of the apartments, his Majesty and
company dined at five o'clock ; after which the
dining-room and music-room, the only two rooms
in the Royal Pailion that are completely finished
and furnished, were prepared, and,• when lighted
up, afforded a coup d'wil of the utmost rnag-
nificence. The ball-room not being nearly-finish-
ed, a room denominated the yellow room,
adjoining the music-room, but likewise in an
unfinished state, was appropriated for dancing,
and was brilliantly illuminated, and the floor
elegantly chalked. The corridors and, ante-
chambers throughout the Royal Pavilion
were likewise illuminated. At ten o'clock the
company began t9-tarrive.,- and at eleven danc-
ing commenced wiii one of the new sets of
quadrilles just brought over from Paris by Mess! s.
Cowsrr and MUSARD, which were so highly
approved of that they were, alternately called for
during the evening. -

NATIONAL SOClETY.—Yesterday the General
Committee of the National Society for the Edu-
cation of the Voor in'the Principles of the Es-

SIR FRANCIS BUUDETT•-At one o'clock yes-
terday, the Westminster Committee pres'ented their Address to
Sir 1. I3unnE•rr. He received them at the steps of the King's
Prison, and returned a verbal answer, in which he enforced the
propriety of their promoting, by all legal means, a Reform in
Parliament, as the only remedy for the national evils. Mr:
tiommust, Mr. BYNG7 and several other Members of Par-
liament, were present, as well as about five hundred Electors of

The intelligence of the passage of the Po by
the Austrian Army seems to receive additional
confirmation from the Paris Journals of Saturday
and Sunday last, which reached us yesterday
after our Paper was gone to press. It is added,
that the, King of NAPLES was with difficulty
brought to consent to the march of the. Austrian
troops ; and that since the adoption of hostile mea-
sures against Naples, the English Ambassador has
delivered a note to Congress of such an important
nature as to render necessary an extraordinary
Meeting of the Ministers. The result of their
deliberations has been submitted to the Emperors
of AUSTRIA and RussiA.--In another column we
have given copious extracts from the French
Journals, since whatever relates to the political
affairs of Nap-les cannot fail to be extremely im-
portant and interesting at the present momentous
period.

FOREIGN TRADE.-After Mr. CALDWELL
finished his examination yesterday, this Com-
mittee proceeded to examine JOHN Ihmit..ToN,
Esq. of LiverpQol, and Mr. CHURCHILL; a respect-
able Timber-broker in the City. There are se-
veral other witnesses remaining to be examined
from the Colonies, the Out-ports, and the City.
NOvA SCOTIA AND NEW BRUNSWICIi..—A Bill
is to be brought into Parliament to make perma-
nent the temporary Act of the 58th Geo. 3,
c. 19, which allows the importation of certain
articles into partiCular ports of these Provinces,
in vessels of the countries of which .the arti-
cles are the growth or produce, or in British
vessels, and a re-export of the same.

EDUCATION.—Mr. BROUGHAM'S proposed Bill
•" fur better providing the means of Education for his Majesty's
Subjects” appears to be unpopular at Frome. A. _Meeting was
held there on Thursday last, at which it was resolved to Peti,
tion Parliament against the Bill, " as likely to be attended
th very serious expence and inconvenience in this time of un-
exampled distress among the agricultural .and'inanufaeturing
classes of the inhabitants of that town and parish.—The Mar-
quis of Bath will be requested. to present it to the House of
Lords, and Wm. Dickenson, Esq., M. P. for the County
.to
the Douse of CoMmons.—To enforce the object of the Meeting
it was stated that there are in the Parish of Frome not less than
NINE Sunday Schools, containing upwards of Eleven Hundred
Children,. besides two endowed Schools for educating Boys arid.
Girls during the week, also many private Seminaries, in tvhich
parents are willing to pay for the instruction -of their children.
It was also observed, that in Manufacturing and Agricultural
Districts it would not be possible for Masters to dispense with
the service of the Children,lor Parents With their earnings,, un-
less they received an equivalent from the Parish; and that thus,
while a large sum would be required to support the Institution,
it must be inefficient and useless, or the Farmer and Manufac-
turer must-sustain an irreparable injury, and the Poor-rates
(already so oppresive) must be considerably increased.
TiTUE EAT4E.—We regret the want of- room
to detail the merits of a new Tragedy, brought
forward last night at Drury-lane Theatre, under
the title of Conscience, or The Bridal Night.—
The story is, • of a domestic nature, but circum-
stances of- a romantic character are introduced,
which strengthen•its interest and excite the sym--
pathy of the audience in no-ordinary manner.—
The sentiments .are natural, and such as may- be,
supposed to arise from the Situations in which
the characters are involved, and their consetitent
feelings. There is great poetical beauty in the
language, which is heightened by -metaphors,
striking; but not affected, o,r too abundant. The
acting throughout very ably supported the piece,
and much .-praise is. due to WA LLACK, QOOPER,
and INIrS.•W EST. BARNARD, FooTE, and Po wELL,
ought also.to be noticed for the merit of their re-
spective performances. The •Manager, relying
on the intrinsic merit of the piece, has not brought
it forward with new scenery. 6.-:c.&.c.; but, as it has
made so favourable an impression on the public.
it -w:11 probably,receive such addition in its pro-
gress. The Tragedy- is attributed to a Gentle-
man named Ilayses, and is said to be his first
dramatic effort. The highly- merited and warm
applause of the audience-will probably encourage
him to resume his elegant pen, and thereby
add to the dramatic stores of the country.
ARGYLL ROOMS.—Mr. ALEXANDR E, the cele--
brated Ventriloquist, whom we. Mentioned a few
days ago, ekhibited his extraordinary talents last.
night-in these Rooms. His imitations of different
voices- in dialogues, "and of mechanical sounds,
&c. &c.,. were really surprising. There was a
numerous audience, among whom were many of
the English and :Foreign Nobility, and the va-
rious performanCes were received with much
-applause.
