LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 10, 1829.

The discussion on the French Budget still
occupies the attention of the Chamber of De-
puties,—and that jealous vigilance over the ex-
penditure betokens a very patriotic feeling in
those Members who question the views of Go-
vernment before the public money is voted away.
The civil pensions, amounting to 15 millions of
francs, formed the subject of observation on
Monday last. Out of this sum, M. MARCIIAL
proposed a reduction of 60,000 f., being the
amount of five pensions of 12,000 f. each, granted
to the late Ministers, M. M. VILLELE, PEY-
RONNET, CORBIERE, CIIABROL, and FRAYS-
SINOUS. The ground upon which he proposed
this reduction was, that the pensions had been
granted the very day the Ministers were quitting
office ! " For myself," said M. MARCIIAL,
with becoming indignation, " I revolt at seeing
presented for national gratitude and rewards out
of the Treasury, the acts of a Ministry who
wished to extinguish enlightenment—who per-
secuted youth—who abroad exposed the dignity
of France, and at home dared to corrupt and
ruin our institutions—who compromised our
liberties and dilapidated our finances—who
avenged themselves on the public disapprobation
by disbanding the National Guard, and by
charges of cavalry on the citizens of the capital.
—(Continual noise at the extreme right.)—
Such a Ministry is devoted to the hatred of
contemporaries, and the severity of history. I
persist in my proposition—(On the left, sup-
ported, supported !')"
The proposition, however, was rejected—but
by a small majority—which majority was owing
to the neutrality of eight or ten members of the
left, who abstained from voting.
On the sum of six millions being proposed
for the interest of the floating debt, discount,
and expences of negociations, M. CASSIMER
PERRIER brought forward the eternal grievance
of the Spanish debt—a debt which visits with
just retribution upon France the political treachery
and disgrace of the Spanish invasion. The re-
sult of that invasion has been the enabling FER-
DINAND to break faith with his English credi-
tors, and now he repays his " liberators" in
the same style ! M. CASSIMER PERRIER said
that by the late treaty which had been entered
into with Spain, for the liquidation of the debt,
France had lost 40 millions of francs, and taking
compound interest into the reckoning, at the
end of 31 years the loss would be 300 millions.
But the great cause of complaint was a treaty
being entered into and concluded, which re-
duced the debt from 120 millions to 80
millions, without obtaining the sanction of the
Chamber. M. ROY maintained that the sanc-
tion of the Chamber was not necessary, because
no taxes were demanded to render it effective—
that it was the undoubted prerogative of the
KING to make treaties—and that there-

fore when nothing was asked from the Chamber
there was no cause for animadversion. M.
DUPIN admitted the right of the KING to make
treaties, but contended that the Chamber had an
equal right to examine treaties, when they had
an effect on the internal interests of the country
by reducing the amount of a floating debt which
had been charged in the Budget at a sum greater
than it would actually produce, and that there-
fore the taxes must be increased to supply the
deficiency, or at any rate that the deficiency
would be made up from the Revenue of France.
To this, M. ROY replied, that the peculiar in-
terest which France must always have in the
affairs of Spain would of course induce her to
make sacrifices. Had the Minister made this
confession at the outset, it would probably have
disarmed opposition. The wanton interference
of France in Spanish affairs will re-act on herself
for an age to come—and she richly deserves it.

Extracts will be found from Dutch, German,
Hamburgh, and Prussian Papers, to a late date,
in another column. The accounts from Berlin
are to the sth inst., at which time there were no
further news from the theatre of war. The Em-
peror of RUSSIA, though still professing mode-
ration, exhorts the authorities to furnish, as soon
as possible, the troops ordered to be raised.

The Duke Of CUMBERLAND, some time
since, addressed a letter, which is now pub-
lished, to the Earl of ENNISKILLEN, Deputy
Grand Master of the Orangemen of Ireland, in
which he exhorts the Protestants of that country
to continue firm and united, and above all to
temper their firmness with caution and prudence.
His Royal Highness writes in rather a despond-
ing tone of mind, and after talking most pathe-
tically about " the pressure of our recent mis-
fortunes," concludes his epistolary Jeremiad with
a hope that " our venerable institutions may be
preserved to us, and our sacred religion sus-
tained in that pre-eminence to which the purity
of the reformed church so justly entitles her."—
There is much insidious meaning intended to be
implied by the word " hope," as also in the re-
commendation to the Protestants to continue
firm and united. In both instances, however,
the meaning is so loosely and clumsily veiled,
that it can deceive no one. The letter is as
harmless a one as was ever penned, and carries
the antidote to its meaning in its absurdity.

A distribution of prizes took place yesterday
at the London University, on which occasion
the different Professors made their reports of the
state of their classes. These were highly satis-
factory, especially the report of the Greek class,
in which fine language the students appeared to
have made unexpected proficiency. For a third
class to have been enabled, in the course of one
brief session, to master the Prometheus of ]Es-
chylus, and part of the cEdipus Coloneus of
Sophocles, speaks highly for its diligence, perse-
verance, and ability. Earl GREY distributed the
prizes, and, in doing so, addressed the students
in a speech replete with good sense and en-
lightened feeling. During its delivery, Mr.
BROUGHAM entered the apartment, and was
received with deafening cheers. Altogether the
proceedings of the day were of the most flattering
and auspicious character. We were glad to per-
ceive the son of the Marquis PALMELLA among
the number of those who received prizes for their
intellectual attainments.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

ROLLS COURT.
ABSENCE OF COUNSEL.

At the sitting of the Court this morning at eleven
o'clock, several petitions were called on and ordered
by his Honour to be struck out of the paper, in con-
sequence of the absence of Counsel. In a short
time afterwards, upon Mr. Parker mentioning one
of the petitions that had been struck out,
The MASTER of the ROLLS observed that it was
the duty of the Gentlemen of the Bar to be in attend-
ance at the sitting of the Court ; the practice that had
of late prevailed was extremely inconvenient ; Coun-
sel were not in attendance when the cases in which
they were engaged were called on, and they then came
into Court at a late hour applying for the hearing.
This, his Honour observed, was a practice he could
not sanction or encourage; at the present moment
there were no other Courts sitting, and it surely
could not be inconvenient to Gentlemen under such
circumstances to be in attendance at the sitting" of
the Court. His Honour then allowed Mr. Parker
to proceed with his petition.

COLLYER V. BURNETT-CHARITABLE DONATION TO
THE POOR OF THE PARISH OF LISBURN, COUNTY

OF ANTRIM, IRELAND.

Mr. COCKERELL applied on petition for the trans-
fer of 9251. standing in the name of the Accountant-

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
MARTINDALE V. BOOTH.
This was an action of trespass against the Sheriff
of, Middlesex for an illegal distraint.
Lord TENTERDEN, after the trial had occupied
some time, found that there was no dispute as to
facts, and consequently no question for the Jury.
He then suggested that a verdict should be entered
for the plaintiff, subject to the opinion of the Court,
Damages, 931. 16s.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY).

CORN EXCHANGE.

The contrary state of . the wind has occasioned the
supplies of this week to be small. In consequence of the
late rains, there is more firmness in the Wheat trade for
such parcels as are in good condition, which fully obtain
Monday's prices, but to-day the business done is only to
a limited extent. Barley, Beans, and Pease, are dull at
last quotations. Oood Oats meet a moderate demand at
Monday's prices, but other kinds are 'very difficult to
sell. Flour unaltered.
