Abingdon wished to seethe 1441. iiembeetor Aberdeen come
down with the same kind of proposition which he himself had
made in a former Session, when he bad endeavoured, in a speech
of a quarter of an hour, to penoade the House to anduction of
three millions a year.
Mr. Al A DKR LY said, it was not fair to avoid the merits of
the question by throwing oat insinuations about • lumping,"
quote the word from the Noble Lord's own peculiar glossary.
If the Noble Lord would go into a Committee, be (Mr. Ma-
berly) would challenge him upon every item. He had not found
fault with the Cosnmandevin-Chief. No man was more ready
than he to wish, that DO; his. Royal Highness only, but every
Public Officer who did his duty, should be paid, both in money
and In honour. If they would separate tke allowances of the
Commander-in-Chief, he (Mr. Moberly) would have no obier.-
ton to vote for them.
Sir J. SHELLEY said a few words in commendation of the
Commander-in-Chief, and support of the original motion.
Mr. G. BENNET defended his Hon. Friend (Mr. Hume)
from what he termed " the poisoned arrows" of the Marquis of
Londonderry. He contended that the proposal to reduce the
allowance of the Commander-in-Chief, cast no personal relic-
tion upon him.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY did• not say a word
about motives; he only thought that the proposal had a ten-
dency to place the Commander-in-Chief and his Secretary in an
Odious situation.
General GASCOYNE defended the original motion, and
contended titt the Commander-in:Clief ought to have more,
in consequendt of the relative situation in which he stood to the
Crown.
Lord PALMERSTON made a few remarks, tending to
shew that the duty of the Secretary had increased since the
peace, in consequence of the increase of the half-pay.
Mr. CA LC RAFT thought the amendment, if carried, would
be injurious to the service at large.
Colontl TRENCH observed, that the Staff were not better
paid than in 1795, while they had more duty.
Mr. HUME rose to reply. He had intended to cast no stigma
on the Commander in Chief or his Secretary.
The Amendment was negatived without a division, the ori-
ginal Motion was carried, and die Report ordered to be received
on Tuesday next.
Si: G. Cteax gave notice, that he should mote the Navy Esti-
mates on Monday ; and Lord PA L.II[II4MODI said, he should go
on with the Army Estimates on Wednesday.
The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the
House, at Half-past Twelve, adjourned till Monday next.

We do not hear of many persons being in the °ace this morn-

of ..'4t.,000, who have sent their orders from the country to
their Broker. We understand that two persons, one to the
amount of .e. 50,000, the other .C7O,CCO, who had signed their

The proceedings in Parliament last night were both
cut ious and interesting. In the House of Lords, the
Duke of DCVO/Sail RE, in a manly and liberal speech,
brought the subject of Irish tithes unJer considera-
tion; and we are sure every one who is aware how
oppressive the tithe system is in the sister kingdom
o:U1 rejoice to find that it is likely to undergo an in-
quiry with a view to amelioration.
In the House of Commons, it will be seen, an unex-
pected and rather singular subject sprung up, which
shews that Ministers feel rather uneasy at some of
the recent proceedings in the House. It appears that
Mr. ARBUTUNOT had written a Circular to such Mi-
nisterial Members as had been thought not sufficiently
on the alert, calling on them to resist the dangerous
practices of the Opposition. The following is a copy
of the letter alluded to ;--

(PRIVATE.)
" Downing-street, Bth March, 1894,

yhmi Wesinesday nest, the 15th instant, a
Motion is to be made by Lard NO/U4ANIIT, to abolish the °Mee
of one of the Postmasters-General; and on the 14th, the day fol-
lowing, Mr. CAFSVEY makes a similar Motion against the Board
ct Controul.

" In this manner the just and necessary influence of the
Crown is from day to day attacked ; and as other Motions of a
similar nature are to be made by Lord ALTNORP, &C. it wi l be
quite impossible for any set of men to conduct the Government
of this country, unless practices of this kind shall be successfully
resisted. _ _

" It seems as if the Opposition, in despair of coming into of-
fice, bad dstermNed to break down the means of administering
the affairs of the country ; and as this subject Is become most
serious, I have no scruple in apprising you of what is now pass-
ing, with the hope and expectation that you will think It neces-
sary to attend, and thus to lend your aid in stemming the tor-
rent of such dangerous innovation..-. Your's, most sincerely,
(Signed) s. C. ARBUTHNOT."

The Paris Papers of Wednesday bring the preli,
urinary decision of the Tribunal of First Instance in
the suit between M. LAVITTE and Messrs. BERTRAND
and MONTROLON. In this judgment the main ques-
tion has not yet been grappled with—as to Bow.-
PA RTiS capacity of acquiring, retaining, or devising
property, while engaged in open rebellion, and after
he had been adjudged guilty of•high treason against
the Sovereign of Fnit N€E. The only point set at rest
by the present adjudication, is the insufficiency of the
documents brought forward by the plaintiffs to prove
their right to the litigated fund, either as attornies or
CECCULOIS of BONA rA ETZ.

M.LANITTE is authorized by the Court to place
the money iu the coffer of deposits, as he had asked
lcavc to do, and News. BEAT/USD and Mourn°.

four or five gens &Armes came by the Rue du Four,
and the crowd immediately dispersed.: Numerous
patrols of cavalry traversed the quarter of the'Palaii
loyal during the evening.
According to a letter from Parthenay, dated the
Bth March, General Berthon had been nearly arrested
the day before. One of the Officers in pursuit of him
arrived at nine in the morning, at a farth, where the
fugitive, disguised as a peasant,had passed the night;
but be had left it before day-light.
A letter from Thouars, of the Bth March, in the
Journal of the Two Sevres, says, that the exertions
of the Sub-Prefect of Bressuire have been so far suc-
cessful that a good many rebels have been arrested.
None of the Chiefs of this criminal enterprise have
been taken, bat there ate still'isopes of their being
overtaken.

AUGSBURG, MARCH 7.
=TRACT OP A PRIVATS Lem&
The Mail from Vienna has brought to-day letters
from that Capital, which confirm the catastrophe of
Ali Pacha. All having proceeded to acts of violence
towards some of his people, the latter seized him and
cut off his head, which they sent to Chourschid Pacha,
who immediately dispatched to Constantinople some
Tartars to carry this bloody trophy to the Grand
Seignior. They arrived on the 13th of February, in
that city, where their presence excited livery trans-'
ports of joy. It is affirmed that this event has raised
'the fanaticism of the Musselmans to the highest
pitch : it is even asserted, after letters from Belgrade,
that the Grand Vizier Selim Paella was to march
with the army assembled in the environs of Constan-
tinople, and proceed to the banks of the I).inube.
The confirmation of this march of the Turks is ex-
pected with impatience, as it would leave no doubt
of their intention to commence hostilities against the
Russians.

In the C3hamber of Peers the first four Articles of
the Law on the Press were adopted yesterday.

111 the other Chamber the Budget fur 1b22. was
further discussed.

On the 14th instant the Report was to be made in
the Chamber of Deputies on the Petition of Mr.

At a late hour this forenoon we received a Ham-

of them contains a narrative of the Greek Captain of

account of the death of the Cron Pi i.. a of Pcr.ia.

Wednesday, a Deputation•of the Merchants interested In the
Trade of Canada, had an interview with Lord BATHURST, and
Mr. Roan:sou at the Colonial Office, when it was explained to
thein'that the measure of opening a direct intercourse between
our West India Colonies, North and South America, and the'
North of Europe, in addition to the South now open, was nearly
determined on. Permission will be. granted to capon their
produce to those countries, and to import theirs in return, in the
shipping of the British and the Americans; but such imports
ore to be subject to duties sufficient to afford a fair protection to
the produce of our North American Colonies,and 'tonsure. Those
now existing in Jamaica on flour and provisions, as fixed by the
Assembly in Jamaica, 1821, are considered ample.
