Weald make one more effort to remove the military from the heart
of the metropolis, where they had the chance of overawing these
with whom the free counsels of the nations ought to abide. The
Gentlemen on the other side stated, it is a merit in the Government
that they had only barracks for 76,000 men. What would those
who went before us have said to this? Did the Han. Gentleman
who stated that, know what the amount of foice was which con-
trolled the counsels of the nation, at a time when the spirit of free-
dom was at least as strong abroad as at present. Did be know,
'that with 30,000 men, in the time of the Usurper, England, Scot-
laud, and Ireland, were governed?
Mr. Secretary PEEL, in answer to the HonouraNle
Gentleman's observations as to the architecture of the barracks,
observed, that these matters of taste were best consulted by a re-
ference to the utility of the building. He could not imagine there
was anything more constitutional in quartering soldiers than its
providing barracks for them. In the reign of Charles 11. there
was a petition of right against their being quartered. From 1754
to 1776 there had been barracks where the Savoy prison stood.
This answered the legality of the proceeding. In reference to the
convenience, be wonld observe, that some of the Coldstream were quartered at Chalk krm, and had to attend duty in
Birdcage-walk. He thought other great objections to quartering
soldiers were, first, the hardship it entailed on publicans ; and,
secondly, the immorality that soldiers acquired by being obliged to
associate with those of idle bad character. He thought the Honour-
able Member would, on reflection, find his recommendation
attended with greater difficulties than he, might at first have
imagined.—He thought it would have the most injurious effect upon
the moral character of soldiers, to put them in a situation where
they must associate with the worst characters, and therefore he
would wish to have them provided with barracks.
Colonel DAVIES approved of having barracks for the military.
The system of billeting wzs injurious to the character of a soldier,
and destructive of discipline.
After. some (either conversation from Colonel Jonasois and
Colonel TOWNSHEND, the Resolution was agreed to, as were the
remaining-ones; after which the House resumed, the other orders
of she day were disposed of, and the House adjourned at this.

Last night in the House of Commons the CHAN-
'ULM of the EICHIQURR rated that he would bring
arward the Budget on Monday evening next, when be
should, he trusted, be able to sbew that the Revenue
was equal to all the demands made, or to be made,
upon it in the present Session. This declaration gave
great satisfaction to the House, who could not but
take into consideration the effect, however temporary,
which the recent commercial digresses cannot fail of
having on the produce of the revenue.
In the Committee of Supply on the Army Estimates,
Mr. Howe provoked a discussion on almost every item;
but the votes were either passed without adivision,er by
overwhelming majorities, when the House was divided.

On the Presentation last night, in the House of Com-
mons, of a Petition fora free trade in Corn,an opportu-
nity was afforded to Sir FRANCIS Bottom to expreu

: :" • ;
,• :Pr
his tentidients on AO Vet Altesttoil, set cl Witte givi,
to pbselve that, in cOnciliatsary atsd modetate lanstlitge,
in just and wise suggestions.-,the conduct of the kvathf
Baronet was, at least on this cit easton, an example which
many of the landed interest would do well to copy.—
He justly stated, that as a body. the Gentry of Eng-
land were as upright. disinterested, and patriotic as
any other class of men in this or any other country
on earth, and that they would as readily concur in
forwarding me4sures which should be clearly proved
to promote the general good. Nevertheless, on this
important question they had a very great stake, and
could not reasonably be expected to see all -the im-
diate advantages of a free trade in cora so clearly
as those who have nothing to lose by the.experi-
ment. The Him. Baronet thought that the Landed In-
terest -were, however, mistaken in supposing that they
would ultimately suffer by the extension lo the Corn
Trade of those enlightened principles which his MA-
JESTY'S Mini.ters are gradually infusing into he whole
of. our commercial code, and which he so highly
eulogised.; and he saw no reason for not substitut-
ing, definite protecting duties in favour of the native
grower of corn, instead of harsh restrictions which
dishearten the labouring poor and have a tendency
to make ;hens think, however erroneously, that the
landed Gentry are the source and cause of all their
occasional misfortunes.

Those sentiments do honour to the head and heart of
a country Gentleman—a character which we think is
srill the pride and boast of England—and we earnestly
trust, that whenever it may be expedient to discuss the
important measure of a Imo trade in Corn, many., very
many of that honoured class will be found to participate
in the moderate and conciliatory spit it, and in the truly
dignified demeanour of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, which
we record on this occasion with. the more pleasure as
it has not always been our good fortune to agree with
the worthy Baronet so cordially, either zs to the matter
or the manner of his Parliamentary efforts.

We have received the Austrian Observer to the 24th
ult. It contains no political intelligence whatever, and
the only article worth quoting consists of some remarks
on the wool trade in Saxony, which we subjoin:

LICIPZIC, FrillleAllT 20.

Our Exchange has suffered like others, though later,
by the fall of the house of Platmann and Co. which
dealt in English manufactures. The loss chiefly affects
houses in this city, most of them rich, it is true, but
some of them will feel it severely. But it is not so
much the disasters of the moment as preceding dim&
vantageous transactions which have-lea to the present
ordeal to which the mei chants are exposed, the rest&
of which, affecting so many, will consolidate the credit
of these houses ethich pa.s through, it bbliart.
" There is a very bad pi-ogled fee 4thi4rikeis of
of the finest-004y ; the flOest German !Roca . will,
deed, always retain a high value, but,it *must suer
reduction of twenty tilitwentpfive per cent. and
sidering the increasing competition of the in)provers,
may be expected that the reduction will, in the sequel,
be still seater. The number of persons who weir the
very finest cloth, &sea not increase in.the same propor-
tion as those who wear coarser. There is, therefore, a
gloomy prospect for the great wool dealers, who, during
the last two years, have suffered more loss, because they
were so imprudent as to abuse their credit in London, on
depots of wool, and would not accept moderate offers
on their purchases, because they estimated the quan-
tity of wool required by England greater than it wast,
and would not be content with more moderate profits'
than on former purchases.—But the prospects of the,
landholders with large flocks of sheep of- the improved
breed are even• more gloomy, who will not indeed,
cease to maintain the purity of their breed, but must
expect declining prices. The conseq,knce of this may,
be, that the plan may be adopted in Saxony also (which
the great population much requires), of letting the
large noble estates to smaller landholders, whose
personal industry will be able to increase the pro- 1
duce of the land by a mote diversified. system I
of cultivation. Marty landowners who have hither-
endenvouced to restrict the farmers under them
in• the breeding •of sheep, may learn, from the
decline of the prices, that such restrictions-are contrary
to their real interests, which call upon them to preserve
a wealthy class. of farmers—if the* division of the
great estates in Saxony, as has long been the case in
Franconia, shall be advantageous to the landholders as
well as the farmers and the towns., The chief neces-
saries of life, such as corn, meat, potatoes, butter, &c.
are dearer in Saxony than in anyother pert of Germany,
partly on account of the heavy excise, partly from the
number of consumers.

The French Pipers of Sunday have reached us. The
Eloge of that day contains a dispatch, sent by an ex-
traordinary Express from Madrid, and dated the 27th
of February, which announces the termination of the
daring enterprise made by a handful of Constitationaliits
near Alicant. The little" bsnd landed near that place
seems to have been surrounded before it gained the
mountain recesses, in which it hoprd to find natoral
and impregnable fortresses. Mire two brothers BASIN
were taken on the 22d of February, with nineteen of
their adherents, by the Murols and Oi ihuela volunteers,
after a sharp skirmish, in which Lieut. Colonel Suss
and five others had been killed. The rest dispersed
'themselves, and were panned in all direciions. •
