CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, JULY 21.

. •
The Committee appointed to inquire into the
propriety of acceding to the motion of M. Labbey de
Pompieres, for impeaching M. de Villele and his
colleagues, made their report to a most crowded
House. The document, which was read by M.
Girod de L'Ain, is very long, but the following con-
clusions give its substance. The Committee decided,
Ist. That religious orders had not been secretly recalled
in France by the late Ministry.
2d. That the toleration and protection granted to the
Jesuits by the late Ministers, were contrary to the laws.
3d. That the re-establishment of the Censure in 1824
and 1827, had not been occasioned by the serious circum-
stances required according to law.
4th. That no disfavour was shown by the late Ministers
towards Protestants,

sth. That they were guilty of arbitrarily and blameably
depriving individuals of their situations.

6th. That there was a squandering away of the national
wealth in the last Spanish war.
7th. But that, with respect to the question, whether
this dissipation of the public wealth could be imputed to the
last Ministers, and whether the political system which they
had adopted concerning Spain was contrary to the interests
of France, the Commission did not possess sufficient in-
formation to decide.

Bth. That the advice given to create seventy-six Peers in
1827, was contrary to the interests of the Crown and the
Country.

9th. - That the conduct of the Administration with regard
to the disturbances which took place in Paris on the 19th
and 20th of November, 1827, was blameable.
10th. That several inhabitants of Martinique had been
arbitrarily arrested and illegally transported to Senegal.
11th. That the transmission to the Court of Caseation
of the papers of some of those individuals who had appealed
against their sentence had been illegally delayed during
several months.

12th. That the arrest of Colonel Caron at Battenheim
was preceded, accompanied, and followed by blatneable acts.
13th. That the late Administration had conceded certain
rights and privileges belonging to the State to the profit of
the Chartreux of Grenoble and the Trappists of Meilleray,
and that other concessions had been pre►iously made to the
Chartreux of Grenoble.

14th. As to the question, whether there were treason in
concussion in the terms of the charter, in the act as well as
in the counsel given to dissolve the National Guard of
Paris, the majority of your commission has pronounced the
negative.

15th. As to the electoral frauds of 1824, the arbitrary
and blameable dismissals, and acts relative to the inhabitants
of Martinique ; and as to the grants of lands to the Char-
treux, and as to the other facts, there was a majority on the
question of treason and concussion. I The rotes were divided
between the negative, affirmative, and the demand for more
ample information.

SALE OF THE EARL OF ONSLOW'S
ESTATE and BRANCHES PARK, in SUFFOLK.

Thursday the long-announced sale of the extensive
landed estates of the above nobleman, in Surrey, and Mr.
Usborne's fine Property in Suffolk, took place at the Auc-
tion Mart, by direction of the Proprietors.
The property was consigned to the hammer of Mr.
George Robins. The large room at the Mart was
crowded by all the Capitalists of the metropolis.
The principal and most extensive investment consisted
of the Branches Park estate, Suffolk, which, according to
the printed description, consisted of the Branches Park of
200 Acres, finely timbered, with a spacious mansion, with
domestic offices, &c. ; the residue of the estate is divided
into 13 farms, with farm-houses, cottages, and land, con-
taining in all, including the park, 2,176 Acres; together
with the manors of Branches•llall and Cowlinge, with the
great and small tithes of the entire parish. The present
rental of the farms, and the value of the park, mansion,
&c. in hand, is estimated at 4,3451. 14s. per annum, the
out-goings amount to 634/. 3s. 4d. a-year. The timber,
coppice, and underwood, it was stipulated, should be taken
'at a valuation.

After some discussion respecting the conditions, and
several questions had been asked and satisfactorily an-
swered, the biddings commenced.
Mr. Robins, having previously in a very long exordium
entreated of the Monied Interest to consider the precarious
state of their property in the Funds, proceeded thus :
A message from any of the great Potentates tending to an
angry feeling would necessarily occasion a great fall in the
Funds; but if it was less equivocal, and War should ap-
pear probable, it need not a conjuror to discover, that a
fall of 25 per cent., or a loss of one-quarter part of the
principal, must be the inevitable result. Money, he
stated, was now to be had, on good security, at 2 per
cent. How then, he rejoined emphatically, is it to be ex-
plained that land, with a depressed rental and the cheering
prospect arising out of the Corn Bill, should he sold to
pay 31 per cent., and with this self-evident fact to guide
them—that, in the event of a war, land must necessarily
increase in the exact proportion as the Funds would fall.
Mr. Rothschild had stated his opinion that the 3 per Cents.
would arrive at 95 before Christmas—this was an addi-
tional reason for adopting his suggestion, inasmuch as the
purchases he bad the honour to present to their attention,
were net to he completed until Lady-day; and between the
two periods, be said, he must be indeed a wise man who could
conjecture what the extent of the fall he had alluded to
would be. At all events, while land could be purchaseCl to pay
as good an interest as the Funds, he could see but little of
good taste or tact in those who hesitated as to which was
entitled to the preference. He then (and successfully) con-
tended, that it was above all things essential to invest in
good land. The Estates he had the honour to propose to
them were of that description ; and to demonstrate this im-
portant fact, he had only to observe, that (as it regarded
Branches Park) the meadow land this year produced
tens per acre ; the wheat would average six quarters, and
the oats eight and ten quarters per acre; and these refresh-
ing facts might be corroborated son every farm of this
talented and contented tenantry.
The first offer was 60,0001., and after a lengthened
competition it was eventually sold for 105,000/.
The other property belonging to the Noble Earl con-
sisted of the Wanborough Estate, between Guildford and
Farnham, Sun ey. The Estate comprises two farms with-
in a ring fence, containing 1,797 Acres of land, with
suitable farm-houses and cottages, now let at a rental of
1,478/. ss. 6d. per annum, together with the manor and
manorial rights, and the tithes of so mach of the estate
as lies in Wanborough ; timber to be taken at a valuation.
This estate was knocked down at 49,900/.

These are the largest estates that have been sold this
season ; and our readers will perceive that Lord Onslow's
estate produced more than 35 years' purchase.

The Duke of GLOUCESTER continues at

tains select dinner parties at his residence on the Crescent.
