• 4UARANTIMIE L*WS. .4 .
Mr. GRANT moved the third reading of. tfie Ctoa-
rantine Lbws Regulation Bill. A Committee of ,ias;
Session had made a Report to the Hoiree, on which the
present Bill was founded 4 He wit convinced that some
Members had neither read ,the Report of the Committee
nor the provisions of the Bill: The Bill proceeded on
the principle of the old Quarantine Lain, chat the plague
was contagious; against which it was necessary to guard:
Several eminent medical men had been examined before

the Committee, all of whom were of opinion that the
plague was contagious. The Bill referred to the pupil-
meat of those who violated the Quarantine Laws, and
placed ample powers in the hands of the King in Council.
'fhe punishment of death had been done away, except in
the case of a forgery of certificates of health. The Com-
mittee bad recommended that the period of quarantine
should be reduced to 21 days after the goods had been
landed. Upon the clean bills of health the Committee had
been unanimous in their opinion. But as to that pa, t of the
'Quarantine Laws, a relasition had formerly taken pl ice
by order of the Privy Council. It was the intention of
Government to appoints Medical Inspector to examine the different
learantine stations, and to report to the Board of Trade.
Sir I. COFFIN stated the cue of a Medical Gentleman who
thought the plague was not contagious, and had volunteered his
services to attend the sick in the Island of Gorse, and bad fallen a
victim to his temerity.
Mr. Secretary CANNING felt relieved by the speech
with which his Right Hon. Friend had)rt obliged the
House. Ile was very anxious that the House ould understand
that theductrine of non-contagion, bad really not received any coun-
tenance from the most experienced and practical men. The mis-
chief which had been produced by the unreserved and conhsient
declarations that had been made by the disc ptet of this doctrine, was
positively much greater than perhaps those Gentlemen were aware
of. Already at Marseilles, at Genoa, kmuch longer quarantine
*as imposed on British shipping, than odd* shipping of any other
EurOpean nation. At Naples, in addition to the usual terns of
quarantine prevailing there, they had imposed a term of twenty-one
days upoi British vessels that had quitted Great Britain, even,
since the Gentlemen who were such determined non-contagionists
had promulgated in all places their opinions—(Hear).—Under these
circumstances, be certainly did wish that Gentlemen would he
pleased to keep such *Orion, a little more to themselves; or it
they would continue their experiments, be heartily trusted that they
would be tried and exhibited, as such experiments ancient'', were,
in carton sill, rather than in a manner to prejudice the general
fare of the community—(Hear).—He was happy to say, however,
that the public appeared to have no disposition to 'concur in the
theories to which he had alluded. :
Mr. HUME said, it was the duty of Ministuristneontradict the
rumours on the subject.
Sir. HUSK ISSON wished to take the safe Me, and to presume
that the plague was contagious. It was no fault of the Gbvernment
if false statements were made on the subject.
Mr. DEN MA N adverted ti the Papers of the late Dr. Bailey,
from which it appeared that be thought it would be dingerous to
alter the present system.—The Bill was then read a' third time,
and passed.
Mr. Secretary PEEL gave notice, that on Tuesday he should
move for leave to bring in a Bill to alter the law respecting Writs
of Et ror.—The House went into the Committee of Supply.
' Mr. HEERIES moved a grant et 5613,000 for the Repairs of
the Harbour of Lyme Regis.
Mr. HUM E opposed the grant, as 106,0001 had been already
expended for these purposes, which could by no means be regarded
as a national object.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, the liar-
bunt was the only one that afforded a shelter in certain winds, on
the track of coast Min Portspwuth toPlymouth. In 1824,25 vessels
found shelter thoe, which otherwise must have been driven ashore.
BARI NV 'thought the grant partook of the nature of a job.
. . Mr. B. COOPER said, that he would most conscientiously give
his vote far any 'se* which might be deemed necessary to repair that
to which he was indebted for fife, and which might yet be means
of preserving other lives far mote valuable to the community.
Mr. HUME.' moved 66 emendator, that the Chairman do re-
port proves&
The Gallery was then cleated fur kaivO, when there appeared,
For the Amendment IS—Against it 66—MeOrIty SI.
In answer to a question from Mr. BaauAL,
Mr. Secretary CANNING said, that in 1517 a Commission of
Arbitration had been appointed between this country and the United
States, relative to the slaves which were taken is North America,
and which were private property ; and the result of that arbitration
was, that 200.000 a was agreed upon as the compensation to be
awarded, in accordance with which the present vote was proposed.
The Report was then brought up, and ordered to be taken into
further consideration on Monday next.
Tilt MAURITIUS TRAM' %ILL.
Mr. BERNAL objected to the Bill, which went to place the
islands of Mauritius and Fmk, on the same footing as the British
West Indies. For eight or nine years the inhabitants of the former
bad illicitly tracked in Slaves, while the latter were strictly pro-
hibited from such practices. It was, therefore, unfair not to give the
one the same privileges as the other.. Upon thesesand other grounds
he called upon the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite to explain why
be introduced this measure?
Mr. W I LidoT- HORTON said, that at the time of the capture
of this island, it was stipulated that it should be placed on the same
footing with the other cnkinies of Great Britain ; and the present
measure would have no other effect but that of fulfilling that stipu-
lation. The circumstance of the blauritius being within the Rinks
of the East India Cumpany's Charter, and therefore rendering the
sugar manufactured there liable to the same rate of duty that was
payable on East India sugar, was merely an accident, of which he
conceived advantige ought nut to be taken, especially, whin it was
considered that those limits extended to the Straits of Magellan..
As to the alleged inconsistency of the inhabitants having at one
time claimed freedom of trade, and subsequently changed their
round, and requested relief with respect to their sugars, cogent
reasons might be Found in the papers for their conduct. In con-
sequence of the Order in Council of 1816, connected with several
local circumstances, the inhabitants found it necessary to abandon
the tree port, and, as they had a right to do, to adopt the alterna-
tive which was embodied in the measure now before the House.
The Hon. Gentleman had mixed up the remission of duties with
natters not connected with the question. He stated slaves bad been
introduced into the Mauritius, and that it would be unjust to those
who had opposed the slave trade if any favour were shewn to men
who supported it. This assertion must be decided by fact; and if
the Hon. Gentleman would look at the papers, be would find that
for years, the trade had not eiisted ; and that even prior to 3821, it
was nut carried on to any great extent. On this subject information
would perhaps be hereafter given, to a much greater extent than
the House was now in possession of.. An armed ship was certainly
stationed in &than Straits, not, however, for the prevention of
the slave trade in. the Idaurtrius, but for the preventioa of the',
general slave trade, wLich might **benches be carried on. The
Right Hon. Gentleman then read a number of accounts to sbew the
insiknificant quantity of sugar grown br the Mauritius with what
was grown in different West India Islands. and concluded by gls.
serving, that it would be an act of great injustice not to omen
those duties, which had been imposed under an accidental, and, in
fact, an ide;lconnesion of the Mauritius with the East Indies.
Mr. ROSE ELLIS conceived that sense special ground should
be shown for exempting the produce of this Island front the duties
payable on that of the East Indies, to which, by stipulation and
treaty, they had been rendered liable.
Mr. HUSKISSON said, that in the hat Session of Parliament,
it was stated that the commerce of the Mauritius had a freedom of
trade which contributed to the at that Colony. He then
thought it was desirable to put tieest India Cohnsim upon the
wine footing!. A Bill was consequently brought in for removing
restrictions an the West India trade. Tbeobjectioa was, that the
Mauritius had carried on the Slave Trade be 1480. A great
part of the evidence respecting the carrying on that illicit trade ap-
plied to the Isle of Bourbon. The fact was, that the Slave Trade
bad not been carried on in that Island during the last five years;
and the question of sugar duties had never been before made part
of the slave trade question. He thought the West India Colonies
might leek with very little 'jealousy at the small quantity of sugar
in this adoey : derived front France, the Mauritius was' only
valuable for its situation. From all the information he had re-
ceived, ir -appeared that the slaves were treated with more kindness

We have received German and Hamburgh Papers
to the Stith ult. They contain sane secants from Greece, but
they are not of a very specific charactir. They state that Inanin
Pawta cannot obtain a Asia footing in the Peloponnesus; that
Patras ie more strictly blockaded by sea that ever, and closely in•,
vested by land, and that the garrison has been but partially relieved ;
that Raeseurn Pacnis diversion in favour 'oP Lusa mtit, had en-
tirely failed, that in short, every Mort en the part of Turkey in this
•fifth campign, had proved abortive.
The foliating is the only article of interest:—lt is reported that
an English Envoy is expected in Alexandria, who, in the name of
the Edda Gamma*, is to propose a plan to the Viceroy of
Egypt for funning a junction between the Red Sea and the Me-
diterranean. •

The Constitmtionwel Paris Paper of Wednesday, con-
tains some intelligence from Greece, which,- with the
.
exception of the reported barbarity of IBRAHIM PACHA,
we shall be happy to find coafirmedp It is contained
in.an article from Zante, of April 29, in whicbtbe opera-
tions of InRAHIM PACHA are described froin the moment
of his landing in the Morea, and all. the detached ac-.
couats which. we have previously received of his partial
igements and defeats are confirmed, His attempt
