Dunft MAIL

A Dutch Mail arrived this morning : the fol-
lowing is the only article worthy of 'mice :--
Baussacs, Fan. ls.—The letters from the
French, frontier say, that the Civil and Military
Authorities have been t
officially informed that as.
•
ti,ono as the season permits 36,000 men of the
Army of Occupation will leave .Vrante. Of the
British troops 6000 go away, and the other
24,000 ere to be taken from the Bavarian, Mar.
temhurg, Saxon, and Danish corps, so that the
Russian, Prassian, and Austrian contingents re-
main entire. This news has caused a general satis- '
faction, which i 3 increased by the fall in i'be prices',
of corn at the marlteth of Arras, Lithe, and other
towns."-:--(llaurlent Courani, Feb. 16 )

We are iu truth amazed'at the proeeedingS of
last night. A person of the 1141/IC of Thomas
Cleory, notorious as the Secretary of many a
demagogue meeting., delegate association, and
Reforming Society, but choosing here to describe
himself as " Secretary to the London Urrion •So-
ciety,ll impudently ventures to insult the [louse-
of Peers with syliat be calls a Petition ! A Peti-
tion from the Secretary of a Society, in the body
of which Petition it is stated, that " it is not now
cristence ! " Was there ever such wockery as
this ? Smely, no Noble Lord read this seanda-
lons imposition, calculated for no other purpose,.
but to penile.); and .retard the measures ft)). our

insulting artifice..
But Alt. CLeAttY, or rather the gang of which
he WAS the organ, furnish plenty of other grounds
for the m irked rejection of this document. They
quibble upon the various names which they give
to their seditious combinations.. " The London
Union Society" hiss not done what the Lord's Re-
port alledges 4 London Union Society bias com-
mitted ? does it signify to the country a
farthing how the man, Thomas CLEARY tag us

us the Society exitts no longer, identical or
not with that Club to which 0144: Lordship's Re.

pies, the lame fruits, and because an accomplice
comes forward with a premature defence and in

an imprioper place, there are advocates for para-
lyzing, on this foundation, the measures for which
the critical state of the times so loudly call,
But ►were every word of this Petition trite, as it is
self-evidently false, we will contend that it would
not contain a single good reason for halting in the
course recommended by Government. We leave

hr
Partianientary objections to Parliam'ent, and
si,c how the noose of Peers could entertain a

paper, which, jo direct contra►lietino to the fner and
their own Report, asserts, dont +lionins Cleary
saw in the, said t (what no one else has

seen),

"'Phis Lendon Union Society represented, not only as be.
ing stilt in existence, but busily and extensively at work, esta.
blibbing branches and affiliations, carrying on an active cor-

All this ii utterly false-.-e! there is no such
thing"—and yet it is the ground on which this
fellow is posited on to attempt .interrupting the
course of legislation at ontrof the most momentous
eras in oily history. And is it not passing strange
that any Peer could be found to sanction Such
dapery--to join with the jacmhia, Secretary

No one has II higher opinion of the ingenuity
dud craft of the Seditiot.s Leaders of the present
day than we have. Their attemptto /min./moth
the House of Lords last night was only worthy
of their genius, and with all our respect for the ag-
gregate wisdom of their Lordships,we really think
they shewed themselves no match for the CIIIMiug
Revolutionists. Something may indeed be ascribed
to the advantages which the Faction obtained from
iht viol; so able a diversion made in their favour in
the enemy's camp—such allies as the Opposition
Lords proved. themselves to he, uffil especially
