HOUSE OF COMMONS.

•
Mr. At FITZGERALD brought up the Report of the Cum.
valuer an the Atlantic Steam Navigation Bill; as also on the Hi-
betnian Hitting Company's Bill.
The Report on the Brighton Improvement Bill was agreed to,
aid ordered tole engrossed.
Sir J. NEWPORT gave notice that on Thursday be should call
the attention of the I louse. to the atrocious cruelties practised ht
the chartered schools 01 Ireland, and should move an Address to
the Crown, ssitb the vier►! re prosecuting the offenders.
Mr.. CA LCR AP 1* moved the second leading of the
S. Olaties, llitit-stieet. Ti bes Bill. The qiies i• n was,
what vas to be etiled on tie itsture incumbent? Thy
number of I..c,uses that paid the tithes was sot mole
than 160 and the number of inhabitants was not much
above 1000. The value of the living had risen from
250/. to '2200f. a yeAr, Nhich had given rise to much
ill blood. Ihe incumbent had told him, that he would
be satisfied via) 12001. a year, and he recommended to
the parithinners to accede to it ; while at the same time,
ail the duties were done by a Curate at 1001. a year.
'As to she salary of the successor, a difference of opinion
had arisen betwe, n the Palish and the Bishop of Lon-
don. The incumbent, the parish, and the patron, were all agreed ;
*and he wished the Dill to be read a second time without the con-
sent of the Bishop, which would probably be obtained in the pro-
gress, of the Bill, as the difference was only about 1301. a year. It
- that a claim to 9s. 9d. in the pound had been.

the Chards. All the parties were ,setisGed with the proposed ar-
rangement, but the asberp of London, who demanded £3,550 for
be successor, instead of £1,200, which was proposed on the
part of the parish. He hoped the Bill would be allowed to be
read a second time.
Mr. W. WYNN said, that the house of Commons was not
the proper tribunal for a question of that kind. if it decided in the
present case. ft might do so in any other. lle could not see why
the future incumbent should nut have the same amount of salary
as the present. The Bill was an attack on private property, and
would establish a must dangerous precedent.

Mr. DEN NI AN explained. •
Mr. W. COURTENAY said, the question was one of
fact, whether there was a vested right or not, and whether the de-
cree had been enrolled within the time prescribed by theAet ? Two
successive Juries had f d that the decree had been enrolled.
Mr. W. SMITH was in favour of the Bill, which materially af-
fected the interests of the Public.
Mr. Secretku y PEEL said, that the inattention • f the
II use, probably, proceeded from the opinion ilia• they
were not the proper tribunal. Why iiid not the pasties
qo into the Cuittt of King% Bench? WHatever was the]
clsaracter of the Bill, he roost r.-sist it. He could 11'1'
see how the Act of Ilenry VIII. could he limited to.the reign of
.that Monarch. The 11111 would establish a most fatal precedent, as
to the right of private property.' The consent of the Bishop seemed
to him to be indispensable. He should oppose the Bill.
Alderman WOOD said. the parties had not the power to go into
a Court of Law.—lle should support the NIL
Alderman BItIDG ES thought the 13111 should be sent to a Cum-
!
mittee above stairs.— Mr. CA I.CR A FT replied.
.V.it J. NICHOL said, that the consent to give £1,330 was some
proof of the right; and yet, after the present incumbents £1,200 a
year was to be given, and that arraugement was to be adopted with-
out the consent of the Bishop.
The Gallery was cleared fur a division. The numbers were—

- -- -
Mr. HUME-presented a Petition on the subject of
females in India immulatiog themselves on the funeral
piles of their hu+hands—a subject which, like many
otl:ers, he had expected would have attracted the atten-
tion of Parliament during the present Session. In Bengal, in one
year, eight hundred and seventeen women had so burnt themselves ;
but in those parts of India where the Ilindno religion was the
purest, the fewest sacrifices took place.—'lltere had been a mass of
evidence laid before the House on the subject.; and to-morrow he
should move for abstracts of the numbers who; according to the
papers, bad sacrificed themselves. The practice might be easily
put an end to, and without any danger. Ile wished to know
whether the Honourable Member (Mr. Buxton) had given up
this subject?
Mr. F. BUXTON replied in the negative. He bad
by no means abandoned the subject. He pledged him-
, self to bring the tint stion before the House next Session;
and to prove that, in the I ,st five years, in the single
province col Bengal, 3,400 women were sacrificed on the
funeral piles of their husb inds. This was the official
return; but he was well informed by those who had
the best means of ascerta;ning the fact, th .t the actual
number was not less than 10,000. Our Civil Officers in Bengal had
been consulted on the subject, and the majority had given their
opinion, that the practice could be suppressed without. a murmur.
Mr. WYNN said, there could be no difference of opinion ori the
propriety of putting down the practice, if that were practicable,
and if not, of checking it as much as possible, but be was certain
that the interference of Parliament would be injurious.
Sir CHARLES FORBES said, not one in a thousand of the
unfortunate victims went voluntarily to be sacrificed.and be was
satisfied they would rejoice at the passing eta law in tMs country
to preserve them from the dreadful death—(l-lear).-
Sir E. EAST hoped the hlisssionaries that were sent out to'
India would be able to persuade the Indian Ladies that it was
better to marry than to burn. and thus put an end to the practice.
Mr. W. SMITH thought the strong repeated expression of the
sense of Parliament on the subject would have such an effect on
the Government in India, that the practice would speedily be sup-
pressed—( Hear).
The Petition, whisk was from Crail, in Scotland, was then
brought up, and ordered to be Laid on the table, and printed.
The House resolved itself Intl, a Committee of the whole House
on the Irish Church Rates Bill.
The several clauses were agreed to. Tke House resumed The
Report was ordered to be received to-morrow:
Report on the Pirates' Head Money Bill was brought up
and arced to, and ordered to be read a third time to-morrow.

• IbIAURI*IIUS TRADE BILL.
The House went into a Committee on the Mauritius Trade Bill.
To a restion from Mr. Basket.,
Mr. HUSKISSON replied, that all the advantages to be con-
ferred, by the Colonial Trade Bill, upon the Colonies, as far as the
prohibition of the importation of foreign sugar into them, were to
be extended by the Bill before the House to the Mauritius.
Mr. BRIGHT affirmed, the words of the Bill were not sufli-
cieotly explicit ; besides. the present Bill may pass, and the Colonial
Blithe thrown out by the Lords. The simplest course of proceed-
ing would be for the Chairman to report progress, and the Right
Hon. Gentleman may then correct his
Mr. HUSKISSON conceived this opposition to 'be vexatious
and inconsistent, and he would not assent to the proposition.
Mr. BRIGHT denied that his-opposition was such as described.
Mr. WILMOT-HORTON said, the Lenge age of this
Bill really struck him as being very clear. It was to
this effect—" that all articles being the produce eifi
the island of Mai:thins, or the growth thereof—and
all colonial produce, goods, and commodities that
shall have been i!rported into the island of Mauritius—
(Hear, hear]—shall be put upon the same footing ai all
such colonial produce and foreign commodities im-
ported into Jamaica under the existing law"—(Hear,
hear, from Mr. Bernal and Mr. Bright).—And that
existing law prohibited the importation of foreign su-
gars—(Hear, hear, • from Mr. Ellice). Why, then, it
dill appear to him that the plain intention of ti is Bill
was to declare, that the trade of the Mauritius should
be put on the same -footing with that of Jamaica, or
any other of the West India Island.. The Hon. Gen-
tleman's objection, however, was, that prohibited foreign
goods, such as sugars, might, under the present terms of this Bill,
be imported into the Mauritius, and through the Mauritius, into the
United Kingdom, to the great detriment and prejudice of the West
India produce. lint he (Mr. Wilmot-Horton) must contend, that if
that were the fact, then the same obseskation must apply equally to
Jamaica—(Hearitear) —To his own mind, however, the real pur-
port of the Bill was sufficiently clear; but:if the Hon. Gentleman
would propose any- form of words that to his apprehension might
mate that purport more cleat and decided, they could very well be
inserted in the Bill, if approved of by the Committee. The Hon.
Gentleman would see that it was not for those who were satisfied
with the terms of the measure, as they stood, to propose others in
lieu of them.
Mr. BERNAL contended that the security he wi,!.ed
to have introduced did n t exist in this Boil ; and that,
on the contrary, if the tot mer measure shimld he lost, the
frAming of this would be found to be excessively detec-
tive. There was in its present condition this teal and visible defect
—that sugars might he imported from China, or from India, into
the Mauritius, and from thence into the United Kingdom.
Mr. WILMOT. HORTON thought he could suege,t
the introduction of a word or two that would meet the
objections of the Honourable Gentleman. In he first
part of the Bill, two root s seem state.t with rest act to
the importai ion to ur allowed : first, all ks (Rik produce,
etc. being the growth of the Mauritiu ; and sec. ndlve
all goods, colonial produce4.Btc. that shall have b en kn.
pursed into the Nlautitius. And the detect cieseipiai• ed
of seemed to be in this—that in the .ecoroi, or latter
part of the Bill, these two points were nut speaficallv recapi-ulated,
but Only one of them. If they were both repeated, the Bill wotskl
perhaps meet the objection.

.....-.......M.MME1N

Mr.-HUSKISSON said, there roald be no apprehen-
sion on this store, as the trade of the island would be
finally regulated by the King io•Council. The object
Was t" open the trade of all the West India Colonies,
and place that of the Mauritius upon the same tooting.
If the other Bill did not pass, neither ought this, as it was a part of
the system adopted far the removal of restrictions.
Mr. GORDON thought ft hard that this system should be acted
upon at once; it would be better to postpone it for a year, or a
year and half.
Mr ELLICE thought it was but justice to Muni-
fus to place it upon an equality with the other colonies,
and remove thoLe testi ictions that did net affect them.,
He thou ht it peculiarly incumbent upon the suppor-
ters of West India produce, for whose interest he was
most anxious to support the liberal plans of his Ni•i
jtsty's Ministers. There was, at present, an alarm
amongst the di tillers in consequence of a promise
ni.ttie by the Chancellor of the Exchequer to the West
India interest, to allow rum (if he could effect it) to be
taken to the rectifiers' stills. If they should support all these liberal
plans, and make no technical objections, he would give his cordial
support to the measure.
Mr. T. WILSON said, be thought the West India
interests had a right to complain. When an alteration
to.lk place in the laws by which duties were remitted
ui-on certain articles, time should be given to have the
inteilig,nce reach the Colonies. With respect to the
Mauritius, the sugars were taken in Teturn for ship-
ments sent from this country, and they were shipped
under the idea that they could not be consumed here.
Ile had known a rise. of 4s. or Ss. the hundred to take place, when
it was supposed the iniportations would, on account of unfavour-
able weather. be late.
Sir R. FA RQU II A R thought the claims 6f these interested in
tha sugars of the Mauritius should be acceded to.
Mr. BRIGHT wished to know positively if it was the intention
to prohibit the importation of all foreign sugars into the Mauritius?
Mr. NV I OT-HORTON said, such was the intention.—The
Rt port then passed the Committer.
'fire House having resumed, the Report was brought up. and
ordered to be received to-tnotrew.
COLONIAL INTLRCOURSE BILL.

On the motion for the third readirg of this Bill,
Mr. A. BARING wished to know whether the Right Hon.
Gentleman intended to make any alterations in the plan which be
submitted to the House before the Holidays, relative to the reduc-
tion of Foreign Import Duties?
Ur. UUSKISSON assured the Honourable Gentleman, that
he would find no duty on the importation of Foreign Articles into.
the Colonies, which was not imposed ()lithe same articles when im-
ported into thesUnited Kingdom. They would be placed exactly
on the same footing u Ireland stood towards Great Britain. He
only wished he could give them the same degree of liberty in all
other respects by a single Act of Parliament.—The Bill was then
reed a third time and passed.
GRANT TO THE DUKE OF CUMBERLAND.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the
Order of the Day for the Committee on the Duke of Cumber-
land's Annuity Bill.
On the question that the Speaker leave the Chair,
Mr. BROUGHAM said, it had beetemost truly said,
on a former night, that there never was a question on
which the general feeling of the country was more com-
pletely in unison with that opinion which the House of
Commons had twice recorded, and which they were
now in effect called upon to retract. They were not now
called upon to consider the adequacy or the inadequacy
of the provision formerly granted to his Royal High-
ness the Duke of Cumberland ; but they were called upon
by an indirect, circuitous, and, in his opinion, by no
means a frank, candid, or honourable way, to rescind a
former vote of that. House.. If any Member thought
that vote a wrong vote, let •him now, in Goo's name,
get up and say so.. He had .no doubt of the way in
which the House would uptertain such a motion; but at
alb events, if any Hon. Member took that course, it
would at least be a fair, manly, and direct course. But
let not any man vote for a provision for the Duke
of Cumberland by a ride wind—(Loud cheers front
all pails of the House). If no man in that House
had the manliness to attempt to get rid of the former
vote in a plain, direct, and honest way, let not the House
sanction this attempt to effect the same object by a side
wind, and suffer themselves to be ensnared into a rever-
sal of their former decision, under the flimsy pretext of
a pi ovision for the child of the DUke of Cumberland.—
Ht should not consider that he had discharged his duty
to the House, to tt-e country, or to himself, if be did
not take the sense of the House on this question, and he should
propose, therefore, as an Amendment, that the House resolve itself
into the proposed Committee that day. six months.
Mr. COKE said, it was perfectly ridiculous to pro-
pose an annuity of 6,0001. a-year fir a child. The real
oSjrct was undoubtedly to add that sum to the in-
dune of the Duke of Cumberland, and that proposition be coed-
tiered an insult to the House and to the country—( Hear, hear).
Mr. DAVENPORT bad voted against that motion on a former
occasion, and should do so again. lie, however, gave great credit
to the Ministry for plating the infantry in front of the battle.
Mr. H. SUMNER gave his most hearty concurrence to the

fall•WG.M.•••••••••
Mr. RENEW (of Wiltshire) congratulated the House upon the
honest indignation which that proposal had drawn forth upon the
present occasion.
Sir GEORGE WARRENDER said, great injus-
tice had been done to the Duke of Cumberland. Re-
pietentations were sent forth as to his character, and
went to the most distant parts of the country, which ,
upon his conscience and honour, be beli.vel to hive
no foundation whatever—(Near, hear). He was en-
tided to a certain allowance as a Prince of the Blood Royal, and that
ought not to be withheld upon any grounds of an individual nature.
S r JOHN SEBIUGHT observed, that the Hon.'
Gentleman who'had just sat down, had put this vote
up,,n its right tootitig,.viz. as a grant to the Duke 'of
Cumberland. He was surprised at the majorities of
that. House upon this question. Wherever he went
out of doors he heard but one opinion upon the subject,
and that was, that it was disgraceful in this manner to attempt to
take the House by surprise in a matter upon which they had
already decided.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said,
although his Honourable Friend behind him (Sir Geo.
Warrender) had put tire vote upon the footing of a
grant to the Duke of CumberlanJ, he begged leave to
say, that he did not put it upon that footing—(Hear;
hear). He declared that be was re4.:y to justify the
ground upon which he proposed this grant. Certainly,
if the same grounds upon which tie last grant was
tefused, were rtOw.put forward, the Government would
dew ve the hard language which the Honourable
Memberfor Norfolk had given them. But e.e circum-
stances of the Royal Duke were now totally altered.—
The cis corn tance of Ws marriage had not been
thought sofficieot to warrant the grant. Now, how-
ever, he bad a child, and it.was f r that child, rot for
hit marriage, or For himself indiviJually, that the
money was reguireJ. Honourable Members opposite
declated that this grant. sv..is not to be opposed upon
personal grounds ; and certainly it would be impos-
-it.le ior his Majesty's Milkers to 'say to the King.,
Site, we advise- you to treat tint of your Royal Bro-
thers in a d ffe.rnt way to a fiat you do the .oti;eri."--
A..d if they old t.ot speak to the King,.they could not
unit making is is p...pobitinn, which il-w•s part et
their duty t s make. The Hots,e could dw a. it thought
pro;;er with the minion, hat it certainly was n') out-
.rirge upon the' country or the House, tor thz Ministers
'ot the Clown to ask tliat ail the Members of the

Royal Family should be treated in the same m tr-ner.
Although, however, where Hon. Members did u'it
treat this question upon the personal n e its of the
Duke, others did; and he (the Chancellor of the Es-
chequer) declared that for the soul of him he could
not understand what was the ground of ther opposi;
tion—(llear, hear). But it really was ilipa
enter into a discussion of this delicate nature.
however, Hon. Members, with reerence •to the last
vote, were to talk about the House • Leiag .consistonr
with itself, he Would call upon them on the same
ground of consivency to remember the write they had
made to the Duke of Clarence, and not now to refuse the same
to another Member of the same Family. He must say it would
be exceedingly unjust to refuse this grant.
Sir JOHN SE BRIGHT explained. •
Mr. T. WILSON said, the clause which bad been introduced
removed the difficulty on his part. Ile thought it their duty to the
young Prince, in whose birth they were all interested, to nuke a
suitable provision for his education.
The Gallery was then cleared for a division. During the es.
elusion, Sir °lssues FORM addressed the House in favour of the .
original motion,.wben the numbers were—For the amendment, 113
—Against it, 143—Majority in favour of the Committee, 30. . .
Upon the re-opening of the Gallery, the House was in-Cpm•.
mince upon the Bill, and
Mr. BROUGHAM objected to the wording of that
part of it which went to make a grant of money to the
Duke of Cumberland. If it was their honest :mention
to give this money for the education of the son of tt.e
Duke of Cumberland., then they would certainly make
the grant.for the life-time of the Rince ; hUt as it now
sec od, it would be fur the life-time of the Duke of Cum:.
berland. Perhaps, however, the Honourable Bar et
under the gallery (Sir C. F..ibes) who lewd chits n so
criti:al a moment to deliver his sentiments, would !link
that if the Prince should not live, the royal father should
have the annuity, to make up for his loss of it when
proposed on a former o:casion ; and t of oily t6ar, 'but
have 60,0001. added to it? This, however, he ve.tad
say, that if any man thought the Duk of Cumberland
could not educate his son with 18 (00/. or .19,0004., a •
)ear, 1;e (Mr. Brougham) would give him the means of
doing that. He would propose to give the King, who
was constitutionally the guardian of the Prince, a sum
which would be adequate to the educatii n of the heir
to the richest Nobleman in this country. For a child
six years of aAe, he should think 3,0001. a year quite
sufficient, and he proposed giving the King and, his
Ministers the responsibility of his education. This, he
thought, would be the fair constitutional mode of ro-
c eding. He therefore proposed, as an amendment, that
instead of the words 64 Royal Hig'vness," his Majesty
should be inserted, and .€3,000 a year, in place of ,Cd,000; payable
during the life-time of Prince Ernest.
Sir CHARLES FORBES repelled the insinuation
that he would say anything with closed doors which he
would not say openly, and in the face of the country. Ile had said
that the arrears ought to be given to his Royal Highness, and be-
thought so
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER' said,
that as he had otiginally declared that this giant was
asked for the bona fide education of the younA Pi ince,
he could have no objection in acceding to the introduc-,
tion of any words which should dispel any obscutity .•
upon that head. Neither did he feel any in Isposition
to the insertion of words confining the grant to 'the -
minority of the young Pante. But k uas.qtrte im.,
possible for him to accede to any other pr 'position.
which had been mas!e. As to the que:tion. of thite' •
thousand instead of six thousand pounds it Might, per...*
haps, be difficult to demonstrate why 60001. was nece9. .
sail, but he • did not think less would do. Frain. ant:.
manner in which the g:arit was discussed, it,ras not'
likely that the Duke and Duchess would come arid
reside pet manehtly in this country ; and 'if a less
grant were to be made, there might be a diAculty as
to the young Prince going over to visit his per. 'us. lie
trusted, therefore, the House would not curtail the vote, and that
they would not make this measure a vehicle for conveying such au
opinion to his Royal Highness, u that he was unfit to have any
share in the education of his child.
Mr. H. SUMNER disclaimed, the wish which had
been attributed to him, of separating the Duke from
his son. If any provision were to be made, he pre-
ferred that now proposed by the Ii more le and.
Learned Member (Mr. Brougham), and also that the grant should
be made to his Majesty, and not to the Duke of Cumberland.

Mr. BROUGHAM observed, whatever the -fate
of this Bill, the King would have by law the custody.
and controul over the education of all the Royal issue,
and consequently over this young Prince. No kepara-
tion would, therefore, be Effected by any shape which
this Bill might take beyond th it which might be
effected un,:er the existing state of the law. He asked
them whether it was not more constitutional and safe
to make this grant to responsible hands, and to perains
who must answer wi h their Leads if guilty of milver-
sation, than to a man who might 'divert the wliole
amount to the payment of his own debts? . In giving the money us
the Crown, they were of course giving it to the Ministers of the
Crown. He contended that this was the preferable, the fair, and
constitutional way of acting under the circumstances.
Mr. Secretary CANNING observed, that thete
seemed to be three amendments upon the original me-a-'
sure in the contemplation of the Hon. and Learned'
Member (Mr. Brougham) The object of the first WAS,
to make the grant to the Crown ; the object of the
second, to settle the amount at 3000/. instead of 6"..)00/._
and of the third, to make it appear more clear that the
money would be appropriated to the purpose for which
it had all along been asked ; and in order to accompliski
this, that the grant should be made during the mi . ority
only of the child. Now his Right lion. Fr end the
Chancellor of the Exchequer had stated, that with re-
gard to the third object, lie h id no obj:ction to the in-
troduction of any words, for the more perfect security
to the House that this 'Hooey should be applied to the
purpose for which it had all along keen demanded,
for the special education of the son of the Mike of
Cumberland. With regard to the third, thetefore;thede
was no difference of opinion; but with regard to the.
other ;pounds of opposition, the case WAS different..
Those grounds involved the question of distrust, %shier
all those who voted might or might not feel in the rim-
tactcr-of ti-e father.cf this child. Undoubtedly those
who thought that by letting th s money Saw to the clti4i
through the natural chanr.el of his father, it would be
shamefully squandered. and, perverted fromits origi nai
intentinn,would give effect to that feeling to their vote.
But it was too much to think that those aho did nor'
entertain such an opinion ought to fall in with vs
ainendmtnt which it was openly stated was founded
upon more than distrust, a dislike ; and even mote
than dislike, a persecuting detestation of the Royal
Duke—(Hear)—This, however, those who voted for
the amendment must say. Then, as to tie amount of
the vote, it tt as difficult to find a rule to settle whe her
2500 was too much or too little fur a particular purpose. Those,
however, who went to diminish the vote, on the ground of tii.truw,
were only bringing into test those charges with regard to the Royal

On re-admission to the Gallery.
111 r. BROUG A was on his legs ; who, hi adverting to the re-
cent decision, said it was not, in his opinion, a breach of privilege to
utter his sentiments respecting a Committee. There never was in
his opinion a Committee of the House of Commons which
tended less to support the estimation in which that House was held
by the country, or whim tended less to give respectability to the
Committee itself. They bad noted for giving his Royal Highness
the Duke, not the young Prince of Cumberland, the sum of 50001.
to put ip his own pocket, and 10001. yearly to educate the boy—
that eras 'what the . Committee, with their eyes open, had done.
When, in fact. they had the opportunity to redeem their credit,
by. voting 30001. instead of 6000/. they had preferred 60031. saying
by that vote that it was proper the Duke of Cumberland should have
50001. a year to put in his pocket. lie wished them joy of their
vote; he wished they might live long to enjoy their justice and
consistency, to celebrate their glorious victory over common sense
and honesty. It was still his intention to persevere in his ("post-
tkio, and he should make the sante motion on receiving the Re-
port, meaning, at the same time, to oppose the grant in all the
future stages.
Mr. T. WILSON said the Honourable and Lcarned Member
had taken the right of alluding to the votes of the Committee, and
he could not help thinking observations had been made which slid
not promote the dignity of that House. If the Honourable and
Learned Gentleman was in his estimation the only honourable man
in the House, he should attend to his admonition, but believing
there were other Honourable Members as honest as the Member
for Winchelsea, he should not stand corrected by him.
Mr. BROUGHAM protested that in what he had said he had
no way alluded to the Honourable Member, who he did firmly be-
lieve to be the most wise and patriotic Member on the side of the
• House on which he sat.

The Report of the Committee was t hen ordered to be received
to-morrow. ,
The Customs Duties Consolidation 13111, went through a Corn.
mit tee. Report to-morrow.
The Universities Police Bill was read the second time, and corn.

The Duchess of Kent's Annuity Bill was received, and the Bill
*ordered to be read a third time tomorrow (this day).
The other Orders of the Day were disposed of, and the House
adjourned at Owe o'CLoce.

This forenoon we received a file of the Lisboa
Go-
satte, from the 20th to the 25th of May. They are
chiefly filled with extracts from foreign Journals, lung
details of the KlNo's stay at Setubal, and accounts
from the English Journals of the events in Peru. The
Gazette enters into a long argument, to prove that the
success of the Colombians is not so decisive as it is,
represented.
Sir CHARLES STUART was to sail for the Braz is on
the 25th ult. and great hopes are entertained that his
mis.ifm may prove successful. The BRASIBLE had not
yet arrived, and Eir CHARLES ‘‘oulJ g:ve her a fort)..
&girt hours rendezvous at Teneriffe, .as she has di
patches ou board for him.

every account frcimOteice isiaronrahle to its indei)end-
cice. Tire fi!al cam sign of the Turks has commenced

trianspiciouay, and the Government of the Ottomanl
Porte seeems unable to give life to the sluggish mass
►eer which it rules. The armies of the Porte ate com-
pletely disorganized ; .and there does not seem a single
lea Jer, either by sea or land, that possessks the confidence
of the Turklalt Government. IBRAHIM PACHA, who has
certainly done nothing, either by s• a or land, against the
Greeks, to inspire any confidence in his. talents, is left to
waste away the Egyptian troops he 1 snded in the Alorea.
Ti:e Porte will not, from motives of jealoul,. assist
him ; and it appears, by an ettiact from the Nuremberg
Corresponded, of the 30th ult. received this morning,
that his father, the Viceroy of EGYPT, cannot send him
troops, having. sufficient employment for them at home
and in Syria.
In another column we have given some intelligence relating to
Greece from the French Papers. It will be seen that the Pro-
visional Government.has issued a Decree, appointing its President,
Guiana Cotinuatoerts, General in Chief of all the armies in the
Mom, or in some measure Military Dictator, for the purpose of
defending the country against invasion, and compelling the for-
tresses still occupied by the Turks, to surrender. He is authorized
to sign and to execute all CapitulatiOns and Conventions, and to
raise Loans, if he should find them nec e y, for the public service.

—The Etuile contains communications from Odessa to the 13th
ult. which state that the vessel of the Captain Pacha had been
nearly destroyed by fire in the Dardanelles, and had been taken
back to Constantinople to be repaired. With respect to IBRAHIM
DACHA, the Della says, that his situation was desperate, as-the
Greek fleet lad defeated and dispersed the vessel* which brought
him reinforcements from Soda, having in the course of the action
burnt a frigate and taken two brigs. The same paper confirms the
account of the total defeat of Resent() PActra, near Anatolico. The
action is said to have keen fought on the 17th of April. The fol-
lowing extracts are from the German Papers:
