Mr. HERRIES, after moving the going into the Committee
of Supply, proposed that the Sri& us do leave the Ckair,wherespon
Sir T. LETHBRIDGE rose, and expressed his hope,
that the House would allow him to avail himselt of what
he considered to be his personal right and privilege
in that House. He should not call upon the House to
do so, however, without premising that he had very
strong reasons, and deeply rooted feelings in his own
bosom, to justify the course he felt it neceuary to take
on this occasion, however singular that course might
appear to some, and, however unpleasant it was to
himself—( A laugh). He was quite sure be should, not
stow be called to order, for exercising, his un-
doubted privilege, as a. representative of the people
of England, of availing .himself of such opportunities
as these, to express his opinions on the general state and
circumstances of the Empire, in any manner which his
own notions of duty might' suggest to him, provided it
was in a manner contistentwith the forms and observances
of that House. He trusted, that he should be excused
for stating the reasons that induced him to call upon
the House to pause before it granted the supplies called
lot by his Majesty's Government—(Loud cries of Hear,
hear). At the same time, he did not hope.that any rea-
sons he could offer, would induce the House to entertain
the same opinions on this subject as he did (Laughter).
Had he the requisite power to effect such an object, he
w told not give to the present Government—the means
of going on for another day had he such a power, be
e oAd exert it to the utmost, to prevent that Government
born continuing any longer in a course, which he con•
eeived must terminate in great disappointment, if not in
absolute injury to this empire. Notwithstanding all the ob-
logoy that might attach to him in that Hoose,for the part
he was now taking—notwithstanding all the taunts to
which he might be exposed elsewhere—notwithstanding
all the threats which had been employed on a formes
evening, by the Right Hon. Gentleman ( Mr. Canning)
—threats that were conveyed in language very highly
poetical no doubt, and yet, in Tact. very like prose--
(Cheers and laughter,)—for the Right Hon. Gentleman
bad altered the words of the passage a little, which he
meant to quote, and altered them in a way not very
becoming in the Minister of a great monarchy like this,
nor yet very proper to be addressed to a man like him,
(Sir T. Lethbridge) notwithstanding, that in so many
words, the Right. Hon. Gent. had " •••••••• his eyes and
blasted his heart"—(Laughter.) He now again declared,
that he would not shrink from the task he bad imposed
upon himself, of holding up the conduct of that distin
guished person to the reprobation which its political in-
consistency merited. If he thought fit, he could retort
those threats upon the Rt. Hn. Gent. and " Shew his eyes
and grieve his heart,' by informing him what the
country at large thought at this moment of his Admi-
ntstration—(A laugh). The Hoa. Baronet then pro-
ceeded, in very strong language, to denounce the, coati-
don which the late opponents of the Government had
formed with it in its present condition ; and to declare
that, looking to the incongruous principles, and oppo-
wte parties, of which the Cabinet Was composed, the
Administration over which-the Right Hon. Gcntlerdan
presided, was one, that be (Sir T. 1..) would not give his,
confidence to. If the master mind of the Right Hon.
Gentleman (as it had been most accurately, be must say,
and most justly. denominated) could keep a Govern-
ment, formed of such discordant materials, together. he
roust, indeed, be one of the most wonderful of. human
beings. The Hon. Baronet next adverted, as on former
nights, to the acknowledgment, whiab, he contended,
the Right Hon. Gentleman bad Made, of an °Testate
having proceeded from the late opposition, and he
again demanded, whether that overture had been by
the Right Hon. Gentleman communicated to his Col-
leag ues,or not? The Honourable Baronet thou touched
upon the Catholic Question, and declared, that the
strongest reason, perhaps, which he could allege for nits.
holding his confidence from the existing Adminiatratiom
was, that while the Hight Hon. Gentleman was knOwn
so be devoted to the tarrying of that measure, do il-
lustrious individual,. whom his app: WIWI* -

which wereatimsicially opposite—(Much co in
the House, Cries of order.) He knew perfectly well,
that he wastViading on very delicate grouud, so he would
say very little mote about the Matter-I4A laugh.) But he
would ask the House, how could he confide at all in a
Government, when the illustrious Personage—(Order.)
Lord Matron sad Sir W. WTIUI rose at else same moment to
order, and Lqrd Milt's having given way,
Sir W. WYNN submitted to the Speaker tisk nothing coulthbe
more disorderly than to allude, in the coulee u( debate, to tire
sentiments of the illustrious Personage, who iphrinly enough
designated by that appellation. The Hweenronct was da.
skiedly out of order—(Hear, hear.)

for him to describe the personage be to describe—(hear)—
with a due observance of the forme die House. He must bo-
wery guarded in following a course froceiding which appeared
to be so little liked—(A laugh)—but would not be deterred from

Mr. CHARLES WYNN (addreising the Speaker).—Sir, 1
do call on you to state the order of the House. I call upon you,
Sir, from that Chair, to inform the Henning* Baronet dist this

nity of Parliament, and the separate authority of the different
branches of power in this country, render it of the utmost ins.

Baronet is not at liberty to do directly in this House, he is not at
liberty to do indirectly. If what he would imply cannot be stated
expressly,owim•. to its being an infraction of order, there are OIL
_ eaher_means by which he can come to his point—(Hear, hear !)—•
From the moment at...which thia, House Urnieritoo4.l what the point;

!bit seems to conceive that he has done, it would undoubtedly have
been my duty, before this, to interfere--(Cheers). All I can now
say Is, that of which the Hon. Baronet himself must be fullpoware,
that no hypothesis of some other country or stste-•mo suggestion of
some possible case—or the opinion" of some other Sovereign upon
it—ran be allowed totems a meaning, which meaning, if uttered
directly or di,tinetly, could not be authorised by the orders of the
House. What I now allude twit, of course, the Hon. Baronet's
allusion to the Sovereign, whether by name or otherwise, as to his
opinion en any question, which allusion, It Is &wham., might
have a tendency to prejudice the freedom of discussion ; and I
would add, snore especially, that mention of the Sovereign's
name, trader such circumstances, as from a quarter without
responsibility. is in the highest degree irregular—(lfeer, hear).
Sir T. LEttIiBRIDGE apologised for any irregularity of which
he might have been guilty. He then vehemently attacked the
constitution of the present Ministry, and more particularly the se-
cessions to It which bad been made from the Whig Members. He
regretted that he had not the assistance of some among thews—Ho.
neurable and Learned Gentlemen—to thew up that Cabinet—(A
laugh.) The Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Canning), in his
opinion, had lost himself, and fallen from that pinnacle of eminence
which, until lately, be had occupied. Let him look sharp—(A
Isughy—arid take a hint from the observations be (Sir T. Leith.

situation, he mast take leave to say, was a very ticklish one. Alter
observing on the manner in which some of those Honourable Friends
-who used to sit on that side of the House near him had abandoned
their political pledges, the Honourable Baronet terminated his
speech by declaring that he had no motion to conclude with-(Hear.)
Mr. CURWEN thought the present Ministers decidedly pot.
timed the confidence of the country, and that the conduct of the
Honourable Baronet was neither fait nor candid towards them.—

principles to the Minister, or the Minister his to the Whigi. It was
not true that they were agreed on all important points. Thedif-
feted on the 'Foot and C,orpentloo Acts, on Parliamentary Reform,
and the abolition of Sinecure Places.
Sir ROBERT W ILLIA MB said, he supported the present Go..
vernment on the ground of its being more liberal than dam which
Fended it. •
Mr: O. WYNNE mid dinttfloush he gave his confidence to the
Ministers, he at the conduct of the

ministration the more loaf,* !he thought they had
thrown the Catholic Qmoden emerhird: Not long back they
were fondly told that the Qmstlee could set stop where it was.
Now, however, it was given up for 'the present. and from this he
was glad to iay the Protestants might take encouragement.
Lord SAN DON said. It did not appear tirbini that tbe-prment

call upon the Gmernment to say what reduction of expenditare

The question was then put. and the House resolved itself into a
Cesiontittee.
Mr. HERRIN'S moved that idte,soo be granted for the Irish
Mattered Schools.
Mr. HUM E objected, considering it more than was required.
fis J. NEWPORT supported the grant.
' Mr. S. RICE wished to know whether any lotention existed tb

Lord MILTON said. before the Right Ilon.Gentleman answered
the question, he wished to Wren open'the minds of the House.
that the Irish Estimates oughtle be reduced. He thought all the
money spent in the vote was waste. He wished the ether Items
might undergo a thorough revision before the next year.
Mr. MABERLY thought the granting of a Committee ee
quire into the necessity for reducing this expenditure weeld ludo
the niost valuable result. He should not now oppose the grant.
Mr. DAWSON defended the • Charitable" Estimates. He did
netddok that a Noble Lord bad • right to etpress himself as he
bee dens of these grants. He agreed with the last speaker. shit

'tared Schools.
Aftersume remarks from Mr. Huta and Mr. Goolsenes. the
vote was agreed to, as also' .C 9,000 for the Society for discounte-
nancing vice. The Resolution voting ALCM for the Educational
Schools was agreed to,as also 4"34,000 for the Foundling Hospital.
Mr. DAWSON declared that the latter vote was most extrava-
gant, as the whole principle of this Institution had failed. Since
its foundation in law, England had provided upwards of £950,000
for the support of an institution which wa, highly immoral.
Mr. S. ItICE thought the establlshmeat was only offering a

premium for parental neglect.
Mr. HUME suggested that no more children thuuld be received
into the Establishment after the present year.
Mr. LA Itlfig hoped that the Honoutable Gentleman did not
mean to press bitch a motion, as it was a grant which originated in
the best feelings of humanity.
Mr. F. LEWIS admitted that the Foundling Hospital did
not do much good; but he thought it but due to the conductors
to says they had been atom assiduous in the care and management
of it. If the Institution was to be retarded, he hoped k taught not
be done in a way to add to the distresses of Ireland.
Theindowing grants were then agreed to;

nothing.

The strength of the New Administration was proved
last sight in the House of Lords, by the division on Lord Mos.'
aassmaity's Amendment on the Motion for the House going into
inCommittee on the Corn Bill. Ministers counted nearly two to
one in their favour, (150 to 65) a majority which, all things con.
sitiltod, may be justty, regarded as triumphant. Lord GODIMSON
Avoid the debate add, In an 'Pistoled speeds, exposed the defects
ler die Laws of 11115 and 1822. •Laws that necessarily occasioned
the evils of alternate prohibition and unlimited importation, and
which failed in introducing foreign grain in years of scarcity, and
in keeping it out in years of abundance. The opposite side was
taken by Lords Matmenuay, STAIIIHOM ELLEIIIIOIII.OOOK, Sauer.
suer, Bossitym, Ressitsnatx, and Rosie:sr—while the measure
received the strenuous support of the Marquis of Lixopewx, and
Lords DAKSIJIT and CASNABSON. The discussion continued till
one o'clock this morning.

The House of Commons, after some observations on
the Slaw of the Administration, by Sir Tuomas Lmummin,
went into a Committee on the Irbh Miscellaneous Estimates;
which, after some discussion, were voted without any dividase—
The Army Estraordinariee were also voted; and the Report ar-

dersd to be received on Monday. The Larceny Laws Coosonda-
doll Bill went through a Committee, and the Report was ordered
to be taken taco cousideration on Wedneaday next.

The Paris Papers arrived last night in due courre:
their contents are unimportant. Accounts from Ma-
drid of the 11th inst. announce the arrival of a whole
convent of Portuguese Friars Of the Order of St. Ber-
nard, in Spain. During the late troubles in their own
country, it appears that these Fans had carried on a
very active correspondence with the Chapter of Sala-
mance, which was discovered through the treachery of
an emissary. This convent is one of the richest in
Portugal.

Mauritius P4pers have arrived to the 4th February.
They contain no information of the slightest interest.

We received this morning the Algenteine Zeitung to
the 19th instant. It contains advices from Constanti-
nople of the 25th ult. at which time everythigg is
stated to have been perfectly tranquil. As it was the
feast of the Ramadan, all set ious business was suspended,
with the exception of the training of the new troops,
which was continued without interruption. The Sun-
TAN had latterly visited in person all the quarters of
the City, without any attendants, in order to satisfy
himself respecting the temper of the people as well as
of the troops. On these occasions, he maintained the
strictest inceg. and it was even reported that he had
visited Pera in disguise, a thing never before heard f,
either on his part or that of his predecessors. The intel-
ligence from the seat of war appears to have been very
vague; and the rumours, respecting the siege of Athens
very contradictory; one report affirming that the Seras-
