ltr. Secretary CANNING rose to order, The
Right Honourable Gentleman might prove what was
disorderly in the language of theHonourable Mem
ber betermterrupted, but he did not think that he
vas to gointo any genir.il reflection while he was to
prove any individual otlt of order.
Mr, TIE liblEY again rose to order--when the
Speaker interposed, and declared that the Honourable
limber (Colonel Duckett) in making any reflection
"tithe proceedings of, that House, was not in order.
Colonel DUCKETT then proceeded to argue
tpinst the Amendment, and in favour of the Clause.
Tbe Right Honourable Gentleman had evinced such
palousy for this his favourite plan, that he could
" Bear like the Turk no rival near tit, throne."
Mr. LYTTLETON read a number of details to
tom the successful superiority of the plan of his
light Honourable Friend. The ordinary recruiting
within one year, bad increased from 918 to 1898.
Mr. JOHNSTONE declared that he was fully
unrinced that his Right Honourable Friends, on his
sideof the House, were incapable of acting on those
invidious principles which were ascribed to them by
Gentlemen on the other side, He defended the al-
tentioa which was about to, be made in the military
sPlitea by the clause which' was then the object of
aitetesion, and asked if it could be supposed that
net could be induced to enter the army on any sober,
*inking principles ?
Mr. HATIIU RST explained,
Colonel SHIPLEY bore testimony of the great
utility of Mr. Windham's system, and the army hav-
ing, in consequence, increased, both in numbers and
respectability.
Colonel THOMAS WOOD asked, why the Right
Honourable Gentleman ( Mr. 'Windham ), if his system
was to be so productive as he expected, did not dis-
charge all the old soldiers who had served a long time '
to the arm why all the fathers in the country were '
not seen bringing in their sons to be enlisted ? He
then entered into a numerical statement of the pro-
regive advance of payment and rewards given to the
MY, under the system of the late Administratioe,
with a view to shew the extent of the expence incurred
it.
Mr. WINDHAM defended his Military system,
414 said he had not heard a single argument which
precluded an old soldier from being rewarded for his
and faithful services. The strongest reaommen-
dome in favour of his system was, that the longer
It continued the more it received credit and added to
it' resPectability ; but the Gentlemen on the other
side were from party purposes wedded to another
sTateln which they were convinced was both oppr.s
sive and compulsive.
Lor4 CASTLEREAGH answered Mr. Wind-
ham, who explained,
After a few words from Lord G. CAVENDISH
and Sir R. MILDANK, the tanestion was loudlY
called for, and a division took place, when the clause
Proposed was negatived by 189 to 116.
We were not re-admitted, but understood the Big
to have been read a third time and passed.
We also learnt that the.consideration of the Sw!cf sla

VIENNA, FEB. 90.
The English Minister Adair is still in this city, but
it is nevertheless determined that he shall quit it im-
mediately.
We have to-day received intelligence from Trieste,
that on the 15th inst. an order was published there, to
break off all communication with England. This
order caused an impwdiete advance of twenty per
cent. on the price of colopiel produce. A similar ad-
vance is expected to take place here.
STOCKHOLM, FEB. 16.
The troops which have received orders to advance
into Finland have been obliged to make a considerable
detour to arrive there, and to p.tss through Lapland.
They are divided into two corps—the army is formed
into divisions, with the view of moving with the
greatei facility, and of marching more expeditiously
to those points of the front:ere which are menaced with
an attack. The Southern division is under the orders
of Field Marshal Baron de Toll ; that of the West, on
the frontiers of Norway, is commanded by General
Boron de Vegesack ; and that of the North, by M.
de Bergenstracle. There is besides a strong division
of reserve, which is destined to march in case it
should be necessary : the commander of this division
is not yet named. The cold is at 15 degrees.
Mogen 3,-.lntelligence was received on the 29th
ultimo, by the telegraph at Grislehamn, that the Rus-
sian troops have entered Finland, near Abhorsfors, and
advanced as far as Louisa. The Russian Minister
continues still in this city, and Beron Stedingk conti-
nued as late as the 14th of February in Petersburgh.
HELSINGFORS, FEBRUARY s.

able number pf Russian troops were assienhliug in
Russian Finland, and on the frontiers, Lieutenant-
General De Klerik-er, who, commanding his Majesty's
troops in this quarter, put the whole army in Finland
in motion, and ordered it to rendezvous in different
places. The garrisoos of the fortresses have been re-
inforced, and the most vigorous measures adopted, to
put the country in a respeetaille state of defence, Many
of the inhabitants have also offered to take up arms, TRIESTE, FEE. tn.

NAPLES, FEB. 26.
Various movements have been observed within
these few weeks among the French troops in the Ecle-
siastical States. In Ancorta, Civita Vechia, and Other
maritime places, they may be estim4ed at 8.6,000.
The re,,niments of infantry and cavalry that have en-.
tered Rome, amount to 10,000 men.
ROME, FEBRUARY 2.
Yesterday a corps of French infantry, under the
command of General Miollis entered Rome, and took
possession of the Castle of Angelo. The

6000 men. Tile gnard-hceises at the gates, the prin-

immediately taken possession of by the French trs
oopass,
as was also the Castle of Sr. Angelo. All thi w

The four Gottenburgh Mails that were due, ar-

accounts which confirm, so far as they go, those we
lately laid before the Public, on the authority of ou

have joined the Carthagena and Toulon squadrons,
and is to pciforsri wonders. After driving away all.
English ships of war from off Sicily, the United Fleets
are to attack Lord CALLINGWOOD before he can re-
ceive reinforcements front England, and we are to be
driven entirely from the Mediterranean ! ! How
surprised will our enemies be, to find Admiral Duca-
weartt along side of them, before they have had time
to execute any one of their mighty projects They
boast, however, that the United Fleets amount to
30 ships of the line.
The accounts from the South of Europe concur
with those received within these few days through
other channels. • The French troops are tilting pos-

ceremony. The Frgich Commandant required the
Viceroy of Navarre, to allow his troops to garrison
the Fortress of Panipeluna, fcr the purpose of keeping
his men in exercise, but to this the \ iceroy declined
to accedo without authority from his Government
For this authority, however, the French Commar..
dant did not think proper to wait, as in the course of
the evening the Frattch surprised the Spanish guards,
and took possession of the Citadel and all the forti-
fications. The French have also entered Victoria and
Barcelona.
The Russian troops have entesed Finland in great
force ; and there is every appearance of a formidable
co-operation by the French and Danes. The frost is
intense, as we may suppose front the winds that have
prevsled here so long. Our squadron is looked, up
