the 2-1411 of June; also a sltni of £200,000 for Gene-
ral Officers employed in Fb.spitals ant-Garri.on for
the same term. A sum of £tio,ooo Was likewise
voted for the pay of retired Half-pay Officers ; also '
£lOO,OOO for allowances to the principal C./Akers of
several public Departments; also £70,000 for fees
expected to be paid at the Exchequer, on account of

army payments.
On the motion for granting a sum of £218,000
for paying the half-pay of reduced Officers in the
land service,
General GASCOIGNE enquired why the order
was issued from the Treasury for taking a poundage
out of these Officers' pensions, and asked what be-
c of it ?

Lord PALMERSTQN assured the• Honourable
General that the sums were estimated mini: the
poundage. In respect to the future issue of half-pay,
it was in the contemplation of Government to direct
that those Officers should be paid quarterly from the
25th of December next.—The motion was agreed to.
A sum of £7OOO was then voted for m►litary al-
lowances to reduced Officers.

The sum of a£l; 2,000 was granted for Chelsea and
Rilmainham Hospitals.
A sum of R 30,006 was voted to the object of pay-
ing certain Pensions to the Officers and Widows of
Officers of the Land and Marine Service.

It was proposed to vote a sum of £lOO,OOO to pay
certain Volunteer Corps, which produced some ob-
jections on the part of Mr. WHITBREAD and some
other Members. At length, after some conversa-
tion, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER agreed to
withdraw this vote for the present.
The following sums were also toted
For the Local Militia, Lt 50,000.
For Foreign Corps, i£237,(100.

For the Compasslovate List, £25,000.
For the Commissariat hi Ireland, .SlOO,OOO.
For the Barracks hi Ireland, X200,000._ _ _

On this last Vote, Mr. BARING recommended a
reduction in this part of the Military Establishment.
Lord PALMERSTON said, Government was not
inattentive to the subject. The sum now voted was
£20,000 less that the preceding year.
A sum of E 7500 was then moved for paying or al-
lowing compensation to certain retired persons in the
public, departments.
This sum was objected to by Mr. WHITBREAD,
on account of the item: not being furnished.
Lord PALMERSTON therefore did not press it,
and it was consequently withdrawn.
The House then resumed, the Report was brought
up, and ordered to be taken into consideration to-
morrow.—Adjourned at Ten o'clock.

We have received Paris Papers of Friday. On
Thursday the Chamber of Deputies took into consi-
deration a proposition for prohibiting the entry into
France of English refined sugars. No law on this
subject has yet passed, but it would be well in our
Legislators speedily to direct their particular attention
to this subject. No commercial treaty as ybt exists
between the two countries : in the mean time the
French Government continues to sanction laws, which
must inevitably bear very hard upon cur commerce
and manufactures ; and the misfortune is, that when
our negotiators sue for a relaxation, they will be re-
ferred to the existing laws of France as. barring all
temonstrance.—This will be precisely the gratitude
which we may expect for our profuse liberality to
France in the retoration of her colonies. A treaty
of Commerce might surely be concluded without
the necessity of any appeal to the Congress at Vienna.
With respect to Poland, it is now said in the French
Papers, that the Emperor ALEXANDER demands it to
cover his frontier ; but he is willing to give it a new
Constitution, and a Viceroy. Prussia makes no ob-
jection, but solicits a small portion, pour Parrontrure-
meat ; that is to say, to enable her subjects to travel
from &eslaw to Konigsberg without quitting the
Prussian territory. Austria, on her part, keeps some
part of Gallicia.

An article from is the frontiers of Saxony" corn.
plains sadly of the fate of that kingdom. We suspect
all these frontier articles to be like frontier towns—
excellent barriers in time of war, but mere depots for
contrabandists in time of peace. The fact is, that
some discontented Garreteer of Paris is the author of
all these invectives. We subjoin the article to which
we have alluded :

FRONTIERS OF
.SAXONY, NOV. 7.
The official declaration which Prince Repnin has
made to the Provincial States and Authorities of
Saxony, concerning the cession r f this country to the
King of Pruasia, has put an end to all uncertainty.
There is one remark, however, which opens a vast
field for conjecture ; namely, that in this declaration
Governor Repnin, speaks only of the assent given by
Russia and England, and says nothing of Austria,
France, or Spain. The public infer from this that
these Powers have not yet recognised the cession of
Saxony. Prince Repnin does not cease to lavish on'
the Saxons fine pmmises in the name of their new So-
vereign :—tbis is the custom on all similar occasions.
It is certain that the good King of Saxony is kept
id profound ignorance of every thing relative to his
country. We know from a very good source that at
the beginhing of the mon* of October, be still Bat-
,

tcred himself with having it in his power to return to
his capital shortly to resume the reins of Government.
He always pertinaciously refused to consent to any
cession whatever, either of the whole or part of his
territory. We are, therefore, very curious to know
in what manner the King of Prussia will explain him-
self in his Proclamations to justify the rights which he
pretends to have over Saxony.
The Last Leipsic fair has unhappily proved that
we cannot Hatter ourselves with speedily having any
commercial intercourse with Russia :—the Ukase
which prohibits the importation of foreign manufac-
tures into the Russian States, still exists in full force.
it is even to be feared that this Ukase will be exten-
ded to Poland, if that country passes entirely under
the dominion of Russia.

The merchants and Jews of the Duchy of Warsaw
hive also profited of the present freedom of. com-
merce, to make great purchases at Leipsic ; most of
them paying ready money. It is not the same with
respect to the Merchants of Buda, who have fre-
quented, in great numbers, the fair of Leipsic, but
having no friends, they could not obtain any credit.
The Greeks and Jews of Moldavia have made good
bargains, because they paid ready money for every
thing.

Brussels and Frankfort Papers arrived this morning,
From which we make the following extracts :

FRANKFORT, NOVEMBER 8.

One of the most important subjects to be treated
at the Congress, is doubtless the new :r man Cnn
federation. The Belgians, the Dutch, and the Ger-
man inhabitants of the Left Bank of the Rhine, feel
how much it would be for their interest to see the
ancient provinces, which once formed a part of Ger.
many, under the name of the. Circle of Burgundy,
united in one State. These countries have not for-
gotten the advantages and the power they enjoyed at
that happy period of their history.
In the present state of things it becomes more and
more necessary to strengthen the frontiers of Belgium
on the side of France in order to place an iron bul-
wark between the two countries. The new Sove-
reign called to the Government of the fine kingdom
between the Rhine and the German Ocean, would
have a still stronger security for his power and his in-
dependence, if these fine countries were joined to the
German Confederation as was formerly the case with,
the circle of Burgundy. It is certain that this highly
important question is at this moment laid before the
Congress at Vienna.
