existence as a nation—(Cheering).—This was his de-
cided opinion. He believed those great men who op-
posed the Bill at that time, if now alive, would reaiily
declare their conviction, now that they had seen suc-
ceeding events, that the Bill was necessary--p(Hear,
hear).—And more, that .had it not been for the mea•
sures of 1793, they would not now have had the power
of debating this question or any other. If he were
asked whether he considered an Alien Bill as neces-
sary naw as in the year 1793, he should say, no. He
believed the revolutionary mania, amongst the higher
orders, had died away ; and amongst the lower
classes, wholesome laws had cured the evil.—
He had no fears of revolution or rebellion in Eng-
-1 tnd, and in Ireland he was persuaded no case would
arise but what the laws would be able to restrain or
put down; but still he considered that, as regarded
our foreign relations,. this Measure was necessary.
The unsettled state of many of the Governments of
the Continent, the ancient Governments, and the
safety of new Governments, required this measure.
There were no less than thirty thousand foreigners
in this country ; of these thirty thousand individuals
many,
,no doubt, were amiable characters and good
subjects ; but there were also amongst them many
turbulent, dangerous, and desperate individuals to
be found, and he would say the people of this coun-
try had a right to the present measure, as one of pro-
tection against such individuals as he had described.
But his Hon. and Learned Friend had argued this
question as if this country was made only of Aliens,
and as if the subjects of this Empire had no claim
v.hatever for consideration. In the present state of
the Continent of Europe, the responsibility of that
part of the Executive Government which had to con-
duct our relations with foreign Powers was most de-
licate ; and as to the abuse of power which this Bill
gave them (he did not speak of the present servants of
Governmer:t only, but of all who might follow), it
was impos,ible Gentlemen could be found who would
sanction sucti abuses as his 'Learned Friend had ima-
piled. He denied that this measure was brought in
as a matter of favouritism to any Governments Whe-
ther France, Austria, Spain, or Portugal, should call
for its being put in force by us, the interest of the
one would be attended to as well as the other. It
was the duty of the Government to act impartially,
and he defied any man to. produce an instance in
which the Government had acted otherwise.
Mr. SCARLETT strongly opposed the Bill, as
unconstitutional and oppressive. It gave, he said,
an arbitrary power over the liberty of a number of
unfortunate individuals; and it was the more objec-
tionable, since this was a power without responsibi-
lity.—(tieur;)---It had no one single feature of justice
about it. He objected to the putting of such a power
in the hands of any Minister over the meanest
of the country. But even supposing there migtetrori-
ginally have been a plausible reason for passing this
Bill, his Hon. and Learned Friend (Sir James Mack-
intosh) had clearly shewn that the reason upon which
it had passed no longer existed. The Learned Member
declared his intention to vote for the Amendment.
Mr. HUMS moved an adjournment of the debate to Monday.
After a few words from the Marquis of LotrooMmiror and
Mr. BItOUGHAII, the gallery was cleared for a division—

The Austrian Observer of the 3d instant, which has
been received by express, contains a paragraph on
the pacific state of the negociations in the East :
" On the 6th of May (this• Paper observes), it was
announced in the Divan, at which the Chiefs of the
Janissaries were present, that the evacuation of the
Ptincipalities was decided on, and that henceforth
the places of the Hospodars would be filled by na-
tives. This determination (it is added) was heard
with unanimous satisfaction."

Private letters from Lisbon, received yesterday;
state that the Portuguese Government had offered to
Spain, in case a war should take place between that
Power and France, 50,000 men.—The Cortes of Por-
tugal has authorised a Committee to report the
amount required for anew loan, by which, it is sup-
posed, they have sanctioned the raising of a new loan.

We have received intelligence from Spain to the
7th instant, which possesses considerable interest.
A Gazette Extraordinary was published at Madrid
on the 3d instant, containing an account by authority.
of a commotion at Valencia, on the 30th of Mayo
which arose from an insignificant cause, and te:mi-
nated without any result, though for a few hours it
occasioned not a little alarm. In the evening of that
day, on the entry of a detachment of artillery into the
citadel to fire the ordinary round, a cry was raised of
" Long live the absolute King !" " Long live &to
and " Down with the Constitution !" The persons
who joined in this seditious tumult consisted of be-
tween seventy and eighty, who deposed their
Commandant, and proclaimed &to as their Chief.
As soon as the Military Authorities heard of this
mad attempt, they presented themselves at the gate,
and endeavoured to undeceive the insurgents, in or-
der to prevent the necessity of resorting to acts of
rigour. Entreaties were fruitless, and force became
indispensable. The jegiment of Zamora, battalions
of national militia, the pupils of the military college,
and all classes of' the citizens, in a short time sur-
rounded the fortress, and as the insurgents still re-
fused to yield, opened a fire upon it at four o'clock
on the morning of the 31st ultimo. At seven o'clock
the infatuated men surrendered at discretion, and
they were lodged in prison to wait the award of law.
This affray was attended with little bloodshed; one
of the insurgents only being killed and three wounded.
The Officers of the rebellious Artillerymen refused to
take any part with them, even though their lives were
threatened. Et.ro, who was too prudent to place him-
self at the head of the undisciplined rabble, has, how-
ever, taken advantage of the confusion which it created
to effect his escape from an almost hopeless confine-
L ment, and taken: efuge in an asylum nearly as hopeless.
He is said to have retired into the powder magazine,
and threatens to blow it up if any one approaches to
apprehend him. It is stated in a letter from Madrid,
of the 6th, that the Cortes had rejected the proposi-
tion of M. FERRER, against the new loan, by a very
great majority.

The proceedings in Parliament last night were un-
usually interesting. In the House of Lords, the Mar-
quis of LANSDOWN brought the state of Ireland before
the House, and concluded a powerful speech by mov- '
ing that the subject should be taken into immediate
consideration, with a view to improving the condition
of the people, and more especially to insure the tran-
quillity cf Ireland. The motion wash however, rejected.
In the House of Commons, Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH, ,
in a strain of impassioned eloquence, contended against
the second reading of that monstrous anomaly in le-
gislation, the Alien Bill ; his eloquence was, however,
unavailing; and a Bill, which is both obnoxious and
injurious, and for which the Government can give no
better defence than Slat pro ratione voluntas, was
read a second time.

Another subject occasioned a lively debate in the
Lower House. It began with an attack on the Peti-
tion from the County of Kent, pi.aying for a reduc-
tion of the National Debt, and afterwards diverged
into a course of crinfinntion and rectimination, from
which scarcely one of the speaking Members were
exempt. Each individual seemed a sort of Ismael,
tongue was against every one, and every one's
against him. The discussion was only im.

In the Sitting of the Chamber of Deputies on
Tuesday, M. de- Vit.m.a, the Minister of Finance,
drought forward his Budget for the year, it being,
he said, the fist time since the Restoration that the
public accounts were regulated in due time.—
The charge of the Public Debt and Sinking Fund
he stated, for the year 1823, at 228,724,2601; The
Civil List is estimated at 43,000,0001. The Depart-
ment of Public Justice 18,451,84.51. exceeding the
charge of 1822 by 547,345 f. The Ministry of the
Interior is estimated at the charge of 113,420,000 E
being a saving of 403,800 E compared with 1822-
-The credit demanded for the active service of the
Department of War is 189,940,000 f. exceeding that
of 1822 by 2,637,474 f. The Ministry of Marine, an
excess of 3,000,000 f. over that of 1822; but the Esti-
mate not stated. Then follow the Estimates for the
Chambers of Peers and Deputies, the Public Treasury,
the Mint, &c. making a total Estimate of Expenditure
of 900,475,503 f. To meet this, the Ways and Means,
stated with great minuteness, are estimated, accord-
ing to their produce in 1821—(that of 1822 not being
yet known)—at the sum of 909,130,7831. being an
excess of income over expenditure of 8,655,2801.

THE ARMY.

This morning the Royal Horse Guards (Blue), left their bar-
racks in the Regent's Park for those of Knightsbridge. They
are succeeded by the 2d Life Guards.
Brevet-Major Powza's, and Captain SMYTH'S troops of the
7th Dragoon Guards, will leave the barracks In Sheffield on
Monday the 17th inst. and proceed to Manchester, the present
head-quarters of the regiment, when, after being inspected, they
will be removed to another district.
The Ist Royal Dragoons, it is understood, are destined to oc-
cupy the Barracks in Canterbury, and the Kent District.
The depot of the 16th Lancers is ordered from Romford to
Maidstone.
A detachment of the 11th Light Dragoons, consisting of 80
men and one Officer, left the Cavalry Depot at Maidstone, on
Wednesday se'nnigbt, for Grave:arid, and on Thursday morning
embarked on board the Dorsetshire East Indianian, for Calcutta.
Tuesday morning another detachment of the same Regiment,
consisting of 70 men and one Officer, marched from Maidstone
for the same place, to embark on board the. General Hewitt
East Indiaman, for the same destination.
The East India Company'd troops, Infantry and Artillery,
under the command of Major Hay, now quaztered in Chatham
Barracks, will remove at the end of this month to Brompton
Ordnance Barracks, for whom there have been made arrange-
meats for the occupancy.
Five of the soldiers belonging to Maidstone Cavalry Depot,
have, with a generosity which redounds to their credit, volun-
tarily subscribed the sum of £6O towards the fund now raising
fur the distressed Irish—being their share of a seizure of con-
traband spirits, made by them a short time since, at Cozheath.
' This suns has been forwarded to the General Committee by the
Commandant, Colonel Sir Joins Baowoz.
The 12th Regiment of Infantry, stationed at Jersey and
Guernsey, have remitted to the Committee the sum of 421.95. 4d.

CANAL. Straw Vesssis.—With a view to the introduction 6f
steam vessels on canals, a very interesting experiment was made
in the. Union Canal at Edinburgh, on Saturday laNt, at two
o'clock, with a large boat 28 feet long, constructed with an /a-
frostal movement upon the principle of a model invented Air.
WIGHT, and exhibited to a General Meeting of the
Society of Scotland in the-ponth of January last. A Comniit-
tee appointed for the purpose by the Directors of the }Lelia:id
' Society, attended fo witness the experiment, and the Chairman
and most of the Members of the Union Canal Company were
also present. The boat bad twenty-six persons on board, and,
although drawing fifteen inches of water, she was propelled by
only four men at the rate of between four and five mites zn
hour, while the agitation of the water, being confined erri-ely
to the centre of the canal, was observed to subside long before it
reached the banks, and consequently obviating its hitherto d..-
structive tendency in washing them into`the canal.
