WILKINSON'S ANTI-CORROSION PAINT.

R. WILKINSON, Manufacturer to the
01 • lion. Board of Ordnance, and the Iron. Corpora-
tion of London, 153, Upper Thames-street, and at the
Wurks, Surry Canal Bridge, Kent •road, begs particularly
at this season, to recommend this valuable and economical
•Article, which is patronised by the principal Nobility,
Gentry, and Public Bodies, as the most effectual Covering
for all exterior purposes of Painting on Wood, Iron, Cop-
per, Lead, Stucco, Roman Cement, and Tiling, to repre-
sent Slates, or any other substance, being equal to Stone
when dry. It resiste damp, water, or marine acid, pre-
venting iron from rusting, not blistering with the sun, nor
can it be rubbed off. This Paint will cover equally well
on rough boards as smooth, thereby preventing the expense
of planing ; and will last considerably longer than any
other Paint. It may be had in Casks of 56 lbs. or 112 lbs.
with the prepared Oil, proper Brushes, and Directions for
use (which are so simple, that any person can use it.) The
Public are particularly cautioned against any Colors that
may be imposed upon them for the Genuine Anti-Corrosion.
J. R. W. being a Manufacturer of all other Paints and
Colors, begs leave to offer to their notice, Paints applicable
to common purposes.—Stone, Invisible Green, Brown or
Chocolate. Also White Lead, Oil, Turpentine, Varnishes,
Sperm and Lamp Oils of the finest prepared quality, at pe-
culiarly Reduced Prices. The superior excellence of the
Imperial Tuscan and Saxon Olive Greens is kept up, and
they may be had in quantities' from 71b. upwards. Ali••
beral allowance to the trade.

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY felt it ne-
cessary, though most reluctantly, to make a few re-
marks on the Papers relative to the Foreign Office
which he had called for, and at last been supplied with.
He had looked over them with much diligence, under
the conviction that it would give him great pain to
make any unpleasant observations upon them. But
still he would not shrink from troubling the House
with some observations, because it had been stated
that he had brought forward this subject from
motives of faction. He had not been educated
in the school of faction, nor ever been actuated by
ally such feelings. He indeed had stated his opi-
nions with respect to his Majesty's Government,
and those at the head of it; and lie had no hesita-
tion now in repeating that he had no confidence in
that Government. It had been formed by manoeuvre
and intrigue, and could not stand. This was his
firm persuasion ; and if his Noble Friends on his
side of the House had regularly brought forward their
motions, the sense of the House would have been
taken long ago upon them in a way that would
have put the Noble Lords opposite in that
state of embarrassment which would have made it
extremely difficult for them ever to have extricated
themselves. He thought the Government had no
principle whatever, because he remembered the Noble
Secretary opposite, stating that they would be
the basest of all men if they did not act on the
principles of Lord Liverpool ; subsequently he had
heard another Noble Lord say, that the Govern-
ment was not formed upon Lord Liverpool's prin-
ciples, and the inference he drew from that was, that
the Government was formed on no principle whatever.
(Much laughter.)—lt was on this account that they
had nearly arrived at the end of the Session without
knowing the real state of the Government.—
With respect to the returns of the Foreign Office,
the expenditure of the establishment at home
remained pretty much as it was—there had not
been such variation in it; but with respect to the
expedition abroad he would beg to state the totals
in round figures. In 1822 the total expenditure of
the establishment abroad was 241,000; and in
1826, 285,0001. Admitting the allowance for
Consuls, which was formerly about 28,0004,
there was a clear excess of expenditure of
16,000/. This might not seem very much, but it
became the House to look how it stood as to the
increased patronage of this office ; and by the
inspection of the returns, it would appear that there
was an increase of patronage attached to the office
given away of 141,0001. From the second return it
seemed that there was in the New States of America
three new Envoys Extraordinary, and twenty-five
Consuls or Vice-Consuls, who, with those in France,
made thirty-nine. The reason of this he had been to-
tally unable to make out. The next return regarded
the secret service money on which there had been
a discussion already. In 1822, and in all the preced-
ing years, the expenditure both at home and abroad,
never exceeded 30,0001. except in one year, which
might be perfectly accounted for; but from 1822
until the present time, it had been gradually increasing
every year, until it had arrived last year at the
sum of 58,000/. He had asked the Noble Lord
opposite to furnish him with a distinct return of what
was expended abroad, and of what was expended
at home, but although the Noble Lord had declined
to furnish him with it, he had however been enabled
pretty accurately, he believed, to make out the dis-
tinct amounts, and if he were inaccurate, he might
easily be corrected. The expenditure at home had
been 23,0001., and abroad 35,000/. This showed ati
expenditure of the secret service-money at home,
to his mind, the most lavish and improper. He
did not mean to question the fact of its having been
laid out, but he did question the judgment with
which it had been disposed of. He remembered an
Hon. Friend of his eulogising the Secretary of Fo-
reign Affairs on his amazing accuracy, respecting
the expenditure of the secret service money, and
stating that he had never spent a shilling of
that money abroad, without having got a quid pro
quo for it. Now, he should hope, that there would
be a quid pro quo shown to have been received for
this, and he was extremely anxious to know what that
would turn out to be, because that expenditure was
more than had ever been known in any preceding year.
He begged to add, that the expenditure during the
last four years had exceeded the former four years by
15,000/. a year. The next return regarded the Foreign
Office building and the furniture; the amount of
that was 4.2,147/., eight thousand pounds of which
had been paid for furniture. The 8,000/. he con-
sidered an enormous amount to have been laid out for
any such purpose. He had further to state that he
had been personally injured with respect to this
particular return. The Hon. Secretary had either
unintentionally or wantonly brought forward charges
against him, and he had felt bound to enter into' a
correspondence with the Noble Secretary, and
if the Noble Lord chose to give that corres-
pondence to the public, or to disclose it in any
other shape, he (the Noble Marquis) would
be glad to see it, and by it to have his conduct
judged by the public. The result of the whole 0
was, that after making every possible allowance for
the new States of America, there had been an in-
crease of expenditure during the last year, of about
70,000/..-LHe wished that this should be known, and
he was sure the Hon. Secretary could have no
objection to its being laid before the public, being
no doubt anxious that a true return should be
exhibited, with respect to that office, the patro-
nage and lexuries of which 'Jou' now so far exceeded
any thing that 4ny of the Noble Secretary's predeces-
sor,. had ever been known to enjoy. He had to apologise
for having taken up so much time, bnt having stated
his opinions several times with respect to the change
that had lately taken place in his Majesty's Govern-
ment, and especially being determined never to
compromise his hostility towards the present Go-
vernment, he did not think he would have acted
right towards their Lordships if he had not made the
observations he had now addresLed to them.
Lord DUDLEY wished to know whether the
Noble Marquis had any motion to make ?

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said, no,

Lord DUDLEY thought the Noble Marquis had
pursued a most extraordinary course. He had called
for papers which were laid on the table, and he then

&",...
5/4 :.),
' , 3 -- .z.
'‘"‘‘, --_,• 4.'' ' -::. 1
went at considerable length into aosultory-ra ics
inculpating a particular branch 14. his Majittli
..5.....r„1i.
Government without a:•;- i,,fulic notice, and end-
ing without making any specific proposition.—
(Hear, hear, hear.)—He (Lord Dudley) thought
he would be perfectly justified in giving no
answer to what he must say, though he did not
mean any thing offensive to the Noble Marquis, but,
according to the usual practice of Parliament, might
Ise considered unfair remarks. Their Lordships
would recollect that the returns to which
the Noble Marquis alluded had been asked for
with considerable pomp, as if they were intended
as a preface to some great discovery. The Noble
Marquis said he wished to place before Parliament
an account of the vast patronage in the gift of the
Foreign Office, and to contrast the expenses
in the administration of that particular branch
of the Government in the years 1823 and PM,
or in other and plainer words, to contrast the Admi-
nistration of the late Marquis of Londonderry and of
Mr. Canning. Well, the papers which the Noble
Marquis called for were produced, and what was the
result ? It appeared that there was hardly any
increase of the expenditure of the Foreign
Office, and that increase had arisen chiefly from
increased expence in the Consular Depart-
partment, in consequence of an arrangement sanc-
tioned by the late Marquis of Londonderry,
though not carried into effect in his administration„
and the principle of which was, that salaries should
be substituted for fees. This arrangement, he re-
peated, was sanctioned by the late Marquis of Lon-
donderry.--(Hear, hear.)--There was another
reason for the trifling increase in the Foreign
Department, at which, he thought, all parties
should rejoice; because it had arisen from
our extended commercial connections—he meant
the expense of missions to South America. Those
were the two items upon which any increase
of expense had arisen in • the Foreign Depart-
ment. But the Noble ' Marquis had adverted to
the expense of - the bowie in Downing-street.
Sir R. Preston's house in Downing-street was pur-
chased for the Foreign Secretary, at an expence •of
18,0001., a large sum of money he would admit, but
if Secretaries of State must have official residences,
they should be somewhat suitable to the situation held
by those who lived in them; and, as to the House
to which the Noble Marquis alluded, he (Lord Dud-
ley) had no hesitation in asserting that it Wil!,
worse than the houses occupied by Secretaries
of State, and even of Foreign Ambassadors,
and that it was not to be compared with the Palace
in which the Noble Marquis lived, in Vienna.—
There was one other topic to which the Noble Mar-
quis had adverted, and challenged him (Lord Dud-
ley) to lay the particulars before their Lordships.
The Noble Marquis alluded to the correspondence
which had taken place on the subject of a
pension, to which the Noble Marquis conceived
he was entitled for his diplomatic services abroad.
The Noble Marquis addressed a letter on this sub-
ject to the Under-Secretary of State, -in which he
stated the ground which, in his own opinion,
entitled him to a pension ; - and the letter thus
written, was of course handed by the Under;•Secre-
tary to the Secretary for Foreign Affairs; but
Mr. Canning, not wishing to take upon himself to
judge of the value of the Noble Marquis's ser-
vices, or to give any answer on the subject of hie,
letter, transmitted it to Lord Liverpool who was
then First Lord of the Treasury. Lord Liverpool
ihortly after returned the application to the Foreign.
Office, and on it was written in pencil an observation
which had been communicated to the public through
the medium of the Newspapers.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY—,The Noble
Lord had better say through the medium of the
Foreign Office.
Lord DUDLEY admitted that the observation of
Lord Liverpool must have come to the public
through some person connected with the Foreign
Office.

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY.—It was a
breach of confidence in the Foreign Office.
Lord DUDLEY.—The Noble Marquis had said
that he received information of the secret service
money through the Foreign Office, which would indeed
have been a shameful and scandalous breach of trust
and of duty on the part of that person from whom the
Noble Marquis derived his information. But where was
the breach of trust in the communication to which
the Noble Marquis alluded ? Lord Liverpool had
written on the Noble Marquis's application for a
pension the words " This is too bad." The words
were written in pencil, and he (Lord Dudley) had
seen them himself.—(Hear, and laughter.)—There
was no breach of confidence in communicating
this to the public. For the Noble Marquis had ad-
dressed a letter to the Under-Secretary, desiring
that his application might be laid before the
Secretary of State, with whom the Noble
Marquis was not on that intimate footing that he
would have confided to himany very important secret.
He (Lord D.) protested that he did not know by what
means or through what channels the transaction had
got to the. Newspapers. But he was sure
their Lordships would not consider it in
the same light as the Noble Marquis did.—
He (Lord Dudley) had no motive in stating
these transactions, but he could .not allow the
assertions made to-night to be repeated, lest
their Lordships should carry away the impression
that the Noble Marquis had been ill-treated, or
that there was any breach of confidence in' the
conduct of Government towards him.--He
did not mean to follow the Noble Lord through
all the details into which he had entered: kJe
must, however, say, that the motion far the produc-
tion of the papers was blended with the object (he
would not add the intention, for it was not
Parliamentary to impute matives)t but the motion was
made with a tendency to cae.t censure on the• Right
Hon. Gentleman, whtittb great and only crime was,
that he filled the chief seat in his Majesty's
Government. When the motion was made, if
not with the defined hope, at least with the
vague idea of bringing on the Right Honourable
Gentleman the charge of being a prodigal public
servant, it occurred to him (Lord Dudley) to inquire
a little minutely into the question. Now, during the
30 years that Mr. Canning had been in the service
of his country, to which he had brought tolerable
abilities and industry, he had received of the
public money a sum of between 60 and '70,000/.
Whilst, on the other hand, the Noble Lord (Lon-
donderry) during the ten years that he had been
engaged in the service of his country, got froth it
no less than 160,0001.—(A laugh and cries of hear.)
He (Lord Dudley) did not mean to say, that these
services had been overpaid. He was no judge, and
therefore, did not pretend to say that they were not
cheap for the money ; but when an attempt was
made to affix by indirect means, a charge of prodiga-
lity on Mr. Canning, he thought it right to explain.
thus much, and then leave it to the public to judge
between the Right Hon. Gentleman and she Noble

Lord to say, whose services were most valuable, in
proportion to the remuneration which they had re-
ceived.—(Cheers and laughter.)
•
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY hoped that
he should be excused in again trespassing upon their
Lordships, after the extraordinary mode of answer-
ing his observations adopted by the Noble Lord.
He (Lord Londonderry) had alluded to the amourit-
of certain sums of public expenditure, as appeared
upon the face of the, papers which had been ,laio
upon their Lordships' table; and in reply to this,
the Noble Lord hid thought proper to go into a de-
fence of a personal accusation, with 'respect to a
transaction with which it had nothing to do. 'Singe
the Noble Lord, however, had thought proper do
mention that transaction, he should not have con-
tented himself with stating only a part of it. He
(Lord Londonderry) called upon him to state the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth;
instead of which, he had only given their Lordships
a partial and garbled statement. Now hn(Lori
Londonderry) would . not take up the time of the
House upon this-subject, further than to read to
their Lordships one letter that he had written to
the Noble Lord, which would shoW what the real
facts of the case were, and which it was necessary '
be should read in explanation of his conduct upon
this occasion. The Noble Marquis here read the
following letter ,t--
" Holdernesse House, May 14; 1827.
" My dear Lord—Having just read in the old Times
newspaper of to-day, 'a libel on my character, in which it
is stated, that upon an application of mine for a pension,
out of the prescribed form, Lord Liverpool had himself
indorsed these words ;--.' This is too bad.' I feel per-
suaded that you will inform me whether, in your opinion,
-,t. be possible that, accidentally or otherwise, the office over
which von preside can have been accessary to such a state-
ment. If the fact he true, it will show that confidential
or official documents are communicated for indirect pur-
pot:es of personal attack, not where they can be met and
answered, but by throwing them into anonymous channel.
Whatever may be the character given of my proceedings in
Parliament, I disclaim any, thing but being direct and open
against public men and public measures, and I despise any
other mode too much to have recourse to it.
" I request therefore, before I take any farther steps,,
that you will have the goodness to favour me with an
answer to the Tiers I have made; and that you will for-
ward me as soon as possible, copies of all the correspon-
dence relating to my application for the pension, together
with Mr. Canning's letter as to my services, on my resig-
nation of th? Vienna Embassy.
(Signed) " VANE LONDONDERRY,"
The answer which he bad received from the Noble
Viscount was a complete denial of his knowledge of
tiai fact. In consequence he (the -Marquis of Lon-
donderry) thought the whole matter was at an end.
Their Lordships therefore might imagine his sur-
prise when seven or eight days afterwards he re-
ceived a letter from the Noble Viscount, stating that
he had omitted to mention that the correspondenee
in question was in the office. As soon as circum-
stances would permit, after receiving that letter, he
wrote to the Noble Viscount the following answer :-=
" Holdernesse House, May 23.
" My LORD--My absence at Chiswick, until a late
hour last night, prevented my answering your Lordship's
letter sooner. As it now appears, that a private and con-
fidential remark of Lord Liverpool's, arising out of my
private communication to M. Planta, on my resignation ,
of the Vienna Embassy (of the existence of which, or Ally '
thing like it, I never could have the least intimation), has,
after a lapse of six Or seven years, 'been anonymous!), con-
veyed to the public from the' Foreign Office, and has now
been, for the first time, officially communicated to me, I
think it necessary fOr me to place all indirect attacks at de-
fiance, and to show-=let. From the Records in the Foreign
Office, that all the diplosetatie servants of the Crown re-
ceived pensions, with the exception of myself, who gave
up to Lord Liverpool's nomination a military government
of 600/. a-year for life, without any equivalent, in MI,
the year preceding my retirement from the Vienna Etn-
hasty. 2d. To show the estimation in which my humble
services, Military and Diplomatic, were held by My
Sovereign and superiors, during thirty years' service, aril
especially during the period I held the situation of his Mi.
•Seety's Ambassador at Vienna. i
(Signed) " VANE LONDONDERRY>" ;
-What he complained of was, that after ,tile—lape;le, .
of five or six years, if such a note as ha,d been der
clibed had been written, it should have been co
m an
unicated to anonymous assailant, for the pu -
pose of impugning his conduit in Parliament. This
was treatment sah as no individual had' ever befok
expe'ienced. He should have purposely avoided
this subject, if what, had fallensfrom the Noble Vie-
count had not rendered it necessary for him to touch
upon it. He was much obliged to the' Noble Via-
count for the kindness which he had manifested ; but
all that he desired was, that the whole of the corres-
pondence should be published ; for there was 4
transaction of his public life of which he felt that he
sasglit to be ashamed.
VisCOnnt DUDLEY and the Marquis of LoNno4-
DERRY mutually explained.
Lord}:_LLENBOROUGH begged to be allowed
l
to' say one -Word. He was not aware that it had
been his Noble Friend's intention to make any oll-
sensations upon tlis subject; and he certainly did n '
think, that, on the face of the papers which had bee
produced, the Right Honourable Gentleman at t/
head of his Majesty's Government was justly charge-
able with public profusion or extravagance. There
was one observation, however, which had fallen from
the Noble Viscount, in comparing the remuneration
which the Right Honourable Gentleman, and the
remuneration which the Noble Lord, had receivell
for their respective political servicee, on 'which he
wished to make a single remark. The Noble Vi
s
count knew that, right or wrong, it was the practi
not to eve a high rerauneration to those who het
high official situations in the government at hornet;
it being presumed that the power, the dignity, an
the patronage of such situations, exceed any peat-
niary emolument. The case was, however, entirely
different with reference to Ambassadorial situations
,broad. To such situations it was essential that the
ren7inneration should be considerable; and it was a
well-,,snown fact that, however considerable, they
were sS,lclom equivalent to the expenses into which
the poiseessien of such situations threw the posseS-
sor. As an Oustratiour of his statement, he beggild
to call to the 'recollection of the Nohie,Viscounit,'
that, at the timww:ben the Right Hon. Gentlemin
held for a shoct,perios.l the situation similar to thit
-which had been :144 for so long a period by is
Noble Friend; the remuneration which he received
from the public 'purse (when -:i.t Lisbon) was at a
considerably higher rate than that :hich had at sly
time been received by his Noble Friend.
i
Here the conversation dropped.
. CORN BILL,
The Dui of LAUDERDALE presented a petition
from the owners and occupiera of land in some parimb
in the count] of Suffolk, against the. Corn Bill. •
FOREIGN
Earl STANHOPE presented three petitions,
pravinv foe the iraposititya of a duty on Forel:11
Wool. The first; was from, the owners and oc, _
piers of 472,000 acres of land, pasturing 59,000
sheep, in the neighbourhood of Marlborough; the
second from-the' owners and occupiers of land at !
Hadleigh, in Suffolk ; and the third fro the owners
and occupiers of land at Waldstone, in Suffolk.
MESNE PROCESS BILL.
I
Lord TENTERDEN, after a few observations,
which, in consequence of the situation in which the
Noble ansl Learned Lord stood, were wholly inaudi-
ble below tize Bar, moved the second reading of the
Mesne Process Bill.
Lord REDESDALE disapproved of that part ;Of
the Bill which provide.d that arrest should not IR
permitted until the debt reas*d 201. instead of 101.,
as at present was the case-
There were runny per-
sons who had property on .which execution could
not be laid—those, for initance, who had propely
in the tunas. They went about from place to place
And the effect of this Bill
contracting small debts,
would be to protect them from arrest. ffisis pro-
tection to debtors would raise Ole price of conimo-
dities on the public. At his time of life, he might
be excused for saying any thing that might not ap-
-pear quite courteous to the ladies. It was very
well known, however; that when ladies of a certain
'character went to a mercees; and ordered an urticle,
if other ladies came afterwards to purchase a similar

article, they would be charged considerably more,
as the mercer would endeavour to make amends for
a debt of four or five years standing to 'which he
would be subjected. Under these circumstances,
and others which he might enumerate, he doubted
the policy of not allowing arrests for sums under 201.

The Earl of ELDOICI said, that if the freedom
from arrest was limited to resident householders for
debts under 201., as they were persons in a situation
to be applied to from time to time, it might be very
proper to grant such an exemption to them. Per-
haps a limitation to that effect might be proposed in
the Committee.

Lord TENTERDEN briefly replied.
The Bill was then read a second time, and
ordered to be committed to-morrow.

THE NEW CORN BILL.

Lord GODERICH, in proposing the Committee
on the New Corn Bill, observed, that, from what
happened last night, much discussion was not now
expected upon It ; any objection that there might
be to it; there would be an opportunity of making
on the bringing up of the Report. The Noble Lord
moved the introduction of a New Clause, " That
there be published Monthly Returns of the Quantity
of -Corn on hand, in Bond, and the Quantity taken
out ; distinguishing the • Corn Imported from our
own Possessions, and that Imported from Foreign
Countries."

Lord ELLENBOROUGH wished that Weekly
Accounts might be published of the pantity taken
out of ►warehouse. '

Lord GODERICH said that directions might be
given to that effect by Government, and the wishes
of the Noble Lord should be attended to. The
