Last night Mr. Baouounm, in a speech of consider-
able length, brought before the Ilouse of Commons
the case of the late Mr. SMITH, the Missionat y, con-
cluding with moving an
Address to his MAJESTY, declaratory of the serious alarm
and deep sorrow of the House ou the violation of law and jilutice
manifested in the unexampled proceedings against the late unfortu-
nate Mr. Main, at Demerara; and most earnestly praying that his
?JAJEITY would be graciously pleased to adopt such measures as to
his Royal wisdbm might seem meet, for securing such a just and
humane administration of law in that Colony as may protect the
voluntary instructors of the Negroes, as well as the rest of his MA-
JESTY'S subjects, from oppression.
This Address he grounded on the supposed innocence
of Mr. SMITH and the consequent injustice of his sell.
tence. He was followed by Mr. WILMOT-HORTGN,
who, in a very able speech, analysed the whole pro-
ceedings. dwelling particularly on such acts on the part
of Mr. SMITH as he thought proved his knowledge of
the insurrection. He vindicated the character of the
Gentlemen who formed the Court-martial, and clearly
shewed, what we long ago asserted (without vindicating
its conduct, which we censured), that it was the beat
tribunal before which Mr. SMITH could have been
brought. The Honourable Member concluded, amidst
loud cheers, by opposing the motion, followed by Sir
JAMES MACKINTOSH for, and Mr. ScA RLETT against it.
The debate, which continued until two o'clock, was
then, on the motion of Mr. Secretary CANNING, ad-
journed to this evening.

French Papers of Sunday. with the Moniteur of Mon-
day, and the Soile of yesterday, reached us this morn-
ing : the two latter by Express. The discussion on the
reduction of the French Rentcs will close to-day. Ac-
counts from Prague repeat the rumour, that there will
be an interview between the Emperors of RUSSIA and
AUSTRIA at Carlsbad ; the former, it is said, will be ac-
companied by Count NEssrcnonE.

These Papers are princir ally filled with the proceedings in the
Chamber of Deputies. In the sitting of the Chamber on Saturday,
M. MAST:ONAC read the Report of the Commission appointed to
consider the project of law for rendering the Chamber septennial.
This Report discusses the two questions whether the Deputies have
the power of alteriez the original disposition of the Charter, and
whether, having that rower, it would be judicious and beneficial to
use it for the Frarpo4e recommemied by the Crown ? Those two
questions are allML:red i:1 an affirmative manner, and it is ultimately
proposed that the law be adopted.
Ati-r the rea:ling of the report; M. &MAXIM CONSTANT moved
that the dbczas.iitni bliotild be deferred until Saturday; but it was
ultimately fixed for to-morrow, and twenty-three orators were
immediately inscribed to speak in suppnit of the project,aad twenty-
two against it. The complete intertilisture of Ultras and Liberals
which the names of the latter present is really curious.
The Cams Alai:en:4w quotes the price of the rentes on Monday
at 303 f. 66c. but private letters state, that after 'Change hours they
were at 104 f.

llarnburgh Papers to the tBth ult. have reached us.
They announce that the disputes between Russia and the
United States, relative a• t''e preposterous claim of the former to
the north-war coasr of the American Continent, have been ami-
cably settled, to the entire satisfaction c,f the respective Statte,
whose relations are replaced on the most friendly footing.
The French Ansbassador, Count de Fanitosays, and the British
Ambassador, will shortly quit St. Petersburgh, on leave of absence
'rie Hen. Mr. CATPCART, Secretary of Legation to the Braid' Em-
haa.iy, will remain.

Father GOeiNgit, who for some years past had delivered religious
discourses at St. Petersburgh to numerous auditors, has received
orders immediately to suspend them, and to quit, without delay,
not only the capital, but the empire. He accordingly set out on
the 12th, as it is said, for Berlin. He received ‘2.000 rubles
for his travelling expenses. A great number of his late hearers ac-
companied him the first stage.

It is stated, in letters from PAI is, that an application
has been made by the Ling of Spain to the French Governmeet, for
permission to purchase five ships of war, to be employed against
South America. The application, it is said, has been positively re-
fused by the French Ministers, who have transmitted information
of the circumstance to the English Cabinet, accompanied with pro-
fessions of their disposition to adhere to the position laid down by
Mr. CANKINC, viz that Spain, if inclined to atteulpt the reconquest
of her late colonies, should be left wholly to her own resources.

We understand that the sitting; of the 13:-azil and
Portuguese Commissioners have commenced, and that the discus-
sions have turned, in the preliali:lary meeting, ou the point whe-
ther the differences of the two countries should be settled by me-
diation, or by the arguments of the respective Commissioners with-
out any mediation. The latter course would be preferred, it is
said, by that country which bas most reason to hope that the lan-
cnce of England will be exerted in its favour, but is, on the other
hand, so impressed with the importance of a speedy decision, as to
deprecate any course likely to cause much dclayl circuutstaLce
inseparable from mcdiatiJn.
