in themselves, vaccinating. The change in our Admi-
nistration was an event to occasion a pause, if nothing else;
and until the time shall have elapsed, for the interchange of a
clear understanding of each other's views, between this
country under the new Administration, and the Powers on
the Continent, it appears quite in vain to form any opinion
of their future policy. _

Our exclusive intelligence from France this day, we
think, will be found to merit our readers attentive perusal.

Last night Lord WYNFORD, in the House of Lords,
brought under the consideration of their Lordship., the
commercial, manufacturing, and agricultural distresses of
the country, in a lengthened speech, in the course of which
he touched upon all the complicated subjects of the Corn
Laws, the Currency, the Poor Laws, Machinery, &c. &c.'
the Noble Lord having for his object, the appoint-
ment of a Committee of investigation ; and, to ar-
rive at the real causes of the acknowledged dis-
tress, his Lordship thought that the landlord, the tenant,
and the labourer, should be examined at the bar of the
House. After an interesting discussion, in which Lord
ELDow, Lord KING, Lord RADNOR, Lord WINCHELSEA,
the Duke of WELLINGTON, Lord GREY, and Lord FIFE
expressed their sentiments, which were little in accordance,
Lord WYN FORD'S motion was put, and negatived without a
division, chiefly on the ground that no Committee of Inquiry
could compass one half of the topics embraced in his Lord-
ship's speech, for twelve months to come.
In the House of Commons, a Committee was appointed
to inquire what reductions can be made in the salaries and
emoluments of offices, held during the pleasure of the Crown,
by Members of either House of Parliament, and to report
their opinion and observations thereupon to the House.
The motion was agreed to, and a Committee appointed,
in which it will be observed, that there is not the name
of any Minister of the Crown, except the CIL% N-
cztLon of the EXCHEQUER. The important inquiry
is to be conducted by Lord ALvuonP, Sir ROBERT PEEL,
Mr. GOULBURN, Sir HENRY PARNELL, Mr. BANKES,
Sir G. WARRENDER, Sir C. WETHERELL, Marquis of
CHAN DOS, Sir T. D. ACLAND, Mr. ADEANS, Mr. BETHEL,
Mr. LAwb•,Y. Sir C. BUWBVRY, Mr. BARING, Mr. IR-
VING, Sir R. VIVIAN, Mr. HUME, Mr. J. WOOD, Sir J.
NEWPORT, and Mr. KENNEDY.
In the course of the debate, Sir FRANCIS BURDETT
said, that be would not take up the time of the House
on the present occasion, if he did not think that in the
present situation of his MAJESTY'S Ministers, he should
not be doing justice, either to them, or to himself, if he did
not explicitly declare the feelings of respect, admiration, and
confidence with which he regarded the whole body. There
had never been an Administration in this country, which in
so short a time, almost before they were fixed in their places,
had come forward with principles so satisfactory, and so
fraught with public advantage; and had performed so many
acts calculated to rescue the country from the consequences
of a long system of misgovernment.—The Regency Bill was
reed a second time, and ordered to be committed this day.
We have noticed the most important business before the
House ; but some warm discusion on the ballot took place,
principally between Mr. O'CONNELL and Si r Ron saY
WILSON. Mr. O'GORMAN MAIION, in presenting some
Irish petition, gave an eloquent explanation of his conduct
on the celebrated division of the Civil List.
