AUDIT OFFICE AT LISBON.

Mr. BEN 7.1; ETT commented on the manner in which
the Audit Office was conducted, particularly that
branch of it established at Lisbon. In his opinion, no,
advantage whatever had resulted from that Office,
and he could not but complain that the evidence re-
specting it had been suppressed.—After shortly ad-
verting to the Finance Committee, the Honourable
Member moved—" That there be laid before the
House, Accounts of all Monies paid for Auditing the
Peninsular Accounts, with an Account of the Nunf-
ber of Accounts audited."
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER dif-
fered entirely from the Honourable Member ; for, in
his opinion, very great advantage had accrued to the
public interest from the labours of the different per-
sons-connected with the Audit Office. The zeal and
industry of the Committee was not to be surpassed.

Mr. BEgNETT was patticularly anxious that the
of the evidence should be produced, because

Mantes
~Iseiliew they would diselose a scene of squabbles
and contentions for patronage, both at the Office in
Whitehall and elsewhere, which were in themselves
11104 disgraceful, and buteht to be ptft an end to as
soon u possible. It was the duty of the Right Hon.
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, as having been the
principal in the inquiry, to auismit the.evidenee to
the House. If, however, the Right Hon. Gentleman
should still persist in withholding it, he (Mr. Bennett)
should feel it his duty to move for it formally.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER de;
.
nied that he was the official organ of the Committee.
The motion was then agteed to.
Mr. BENNETT espresso il his intention of making a
Motion on the subject of the evidence on Wednesday.
MAIN BILL.
Lord tASTLEREAGH moved the Order of the
Day for the second reading of this NIL
Mr. BERNAL opposed the Bill, and contended,l
that before he could bring himself to accede to it, he.
should desire to see a strong case made out. The Bill
against Aliens had in the first instance originated
from the machinations of foreigners. It -was with
that view that the 33d of the late King had been
enacted. But no machinations now existed to render
Such a Bill necessary, -and it was calculated to op-
press and injure numerous individuals whohad claims
on our protection. It was contrary to the enlightened
principles of the age, and altogether at variance with
that liberality which induced this-country to grant
an asylum to the fugitives who- sotight it upon the
revocation of the Edict of Nantes. With this decided
conviction upon his mind, he should move an Amend-
ment—" That the Bill be read this day six months."
Lord ARCHIBALD HAMILTON supported the
AMendment, and wished to know from the Noble
Lord, if he intended this Bill as the first of a series
of permanent measures against Aliens? In his opi-
nion, the Bill was equally unnecessary and unjust.
It had been continued from year to year, almost as a
matter of course, advantage being taken of' the corn=
parative indifference with-which the House lookei at
what professed to be a tereporarylreasure. In the
same manner, the Act for the Seizure of Arms; in-
Ireland had been continued for ten years, by flee At;
tinct renewals. This Alien Law.also had been lid*
continued for five or six years since the peace, aril
wassnow to be continued for two years longer,- at' se
end of which time, it was likely to be justas oeceis
sary as it was now, for not a single:3r.gument heft
been adduced in favour OE it—(Hear), •
Colonel DAVIES said, it was twenty-seven-years.
ago that an Alien Bill had beets first introduced into
the House, on a necessity said, and with some reasons
to be a strong one; it had afterwards been renewed
on less and less distinct grounds; and it was now at
last proposed, in all its naked enormity, without any
reason; for what was said about the revolutionary
resolutions prevalent on the Continent, was a mere
mockery—an experiment tried by the Noble Lord
(Castlereagh) to see how far he could prevail on
the credulity of the House. When foreign Govern-
ments heard that our army had been increased by
11,000 men in time.of peace, to prevent *the spread
of revolutionary doctrines, and that even this was not
available without new laws, they might, indeed, be
warranted in. shutting out Englishmen from their
shores; but for the exclusion of foreigners from Eng-
land there was not the slifhtest reason. The Bill
was so utterly inconsistent with humanity and policy,
that he could not help expressing his strong disap-
probation of it.—The question having been pat, and
a division having been called for,
Mr. J. W. WARD said, that though it was un-
pleasant to continue a debate on which no arguments
had been offered but on one side, the Bill was, in his
opinion, so discreditable to Ministers, so discredit-
able to the House, and so discreditab'e to the coun-
try, that he could not help. saying a few words
against it; and the more so, because he thought it,
was only by the earnestness, zeal, and perseverance
of the opposition to it, that the country could eveer
be delivered from this measure, and that they had
thus far to congratulate themselves, that it was on
account of that opposition that they had not a per
petual, instead of a two years Alien Bill (Hear, hear).
It was a Bill to deprive foreigners of that degree of
favour-and countenance which, they enjoyed in this
country—he would not say, in ancient times, for that
might admit of dispute, but, without question, in
that time of our history to which every man looked
back with most satisfaction, and which might hem.
conveniently taken as an example. He really could
not understand, after all that had been said on the
subject, on what reasons were offered to, them, this
Bill, which, might *affect the interests, and which af-
fected so directly the character of the country—
(Hear, hear!)—Was it for the protection of our own
Government, or was it for the protection of foreign
Governments? When it was last proposed to them,
two years ago, they were told that Europe was still
CP ver-rua with Jacobins, some Republicans) some Na-
poleonists, all mischievous in the extreme; they were
told to look at the Netherlands, where, till an Alien
Bill had been introdUced, the work Of sedition hid
been carried on, by Wholesale, by these pestilent ene-
mies of all established authority. -After that, what
had happened? In that very year, many of those
exiles were recalled to France, and jn.the next year
the King of France, the head of that Government
which *e were professing to protect be. that Bill,
said his wish was to forgive and forget, and suff
almost all the others of these exiles to return to their
country. He did not say this to throw any discredit
on the course then pursued'; but it was manifest that
the firmest ground had thus been cut from under the
feet of the supporters of the Bill. He did notintenct
to criticise the acts of the French Government, which
it would be most unbecoming to do in that House;
but it was plain, that if any machinations were car-
ried on against the French Government, it was in
France itself, 'in Path, in the Electoral Colleges, or
in the Chamber of Deputies--(Hear, hear.t).--To pre-
vent Jacobins from coming here, 'was merely to for-
bid them to come to a place where they would not
come, if they intended to act decidedly, and with ef-
fect—(Hear, hear!).--The whole weight of the mea-
sure was thus throven on those who should be pro-
tected from it—on those who came hither from cu-
riosity or on business, and who were the very persons
whom every one would wish to put under the pro-
tection of the law, and to relieve from the operation
of an arbitrary measure—(Hear!)—He freely con-
fessed he was what was commonly called an Alarmist,

that looked with !bitch apisteheniion fo the attenr,,-,
of Jacobins on the institutions of this country. but of
what Jacobins? Of foreign Jacobins ? Certainl y not.

more strongly in its old channel—(ied.; hear)—for
our antes ors had been anxious, even to an excess, t,
get rid of the foreign force e Itich had aided King
William. If he (Mr. Ward) had the talents and the
disposition to attempt the overthrow of the Govern-
ment, he was so convinced of the feeling of the
people respecting Aliens, that if he knew there were
any number of foreign Jacobins in London ready to
join him in his attempt either to dethrone the King,
or plunder the aristocracy, or murder the clergy, be
would say to them, that •' though I thank you for
your neighbourly disposition, I must beg you to be
.still, for-even reason and justice will in this country
be contaminated by your interterence:' As a striking,
proof or the feelings of the people tin this head, it
was well known to-every Member-of the House, that
there was scarcely a company we could get into, et

P gated, and the effects produced by the trench Re-
i
volti::on were quite removed, took a very narrow'
view of the subject ; while those who contemplatesti
tlr cia.-.::;er as it still continued? must feel the neces- 1
site of a measure of this nature, not with a view to
secure the French Government, as had been stated,
from a dread of revolution in England, but in order
to guard the country from commotion or disturbance.
file feeling and example of the French Revolution
were not yet done away, and while they continued
to operate, Government would be guilty of derelic-
tion of duty if it neglected to provide due measures
of precaution. As to the Honourable Member's asser-
tion, that from the jealousy towards foreigners which
prevailed among the populace of this country, no
danger of foreign influence or aid could be appre-
hended, and that therefore the present measure was
u: accessary, he (Mr. Bathurst) could not concur
In such an opinion, for men having a desperate put..
Lose in view, could be easily persuaded to sacrifice
.heir antipathy for the attainment of their object.—
Ile denied that this measure was unpopular among
the middling and lower orders, as the Hon. Mem-
ber had stated, while he was satisfied that the south i
and reflecting part of all orders acknowledged the
necessity, and applauded the policy, that urged its
adoption. It was an error to suppose, as the Ho-
r.ourable Member had alleged, that the Alien Act
bad only served for the punishment of the innocent,
as England was known, notwithstanding the existence
of this law, to have afforded for years an asylum for
a number of these fugitives from a certain country,
who had lately returned to that country to enjoy the
sort of revolution which had lately taken place there.
The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded with observ-
ing, that while the seeds of disaffection were scattered
throughout Europe, and especially in this country, a
ineasuie of this nature was indispensably necessary,
as a guard against commotion.
Mr. MAXWLLL rose, amidst a cry of " Question,"

wished, therefore, that the present 1111, instead of continu-
ing the whole of those duties, should only continue a part, and
that instead of allowing twenty years far their gradual expira-
tion, the tune should be reduced to ten, or even nine years. Ile
:rued, as an Amendment to the preamble of the Hill, that words
should he inserted, declaring it to be expedient that the Duties
mentioned in the schedule should be gradually diminished, so
tF it they should wholly cease from January, 1880.
lie CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER explained the
r.,tirds on which he had thought it, expedient that the Revenue
.4 Ireland should be supported by a temporary continuance of
the duties, and stated his reasons for recommending the adop-
t ,n of a graduated scale, by which they would be abolished at
the end of twenty years.

EMiPLOYMENT OF THIL MILITARY.

The LORD MAYOR, in rbing to offer an ezplanation on a
s..:Lject to which the attention of the House bad been called by
:ht. Honourable Member for Aberdeen (Mr. Hume), regretted
the Honourable Member was not present to hear his josstih-
c :ion. He could assure the House, that nothing had been far-
-.LA. from his mind than to call in the military for the purpose
of overawing the Livery or his fellow-cidzens. His sole object
is taking the precaution for which be had been blamed by some
p• rsons was to preserve and protect the citizens of Leaden ; and
for this purpose the military had been placed in the neighbour-
hood of the City—not within it, as had been erroaeously tested.

In the House of Commons last night, Lord Cts-
TLEREAGII, in reply to an observation of Mr. BZAU•
miter, the Member for Northumberland, intimated
that the Coronation was to.be postpOned. The Noble
Lord did not mention any pasticular period at which
the ceremony would take place, nor did any conver-
sation on the subject ensue.

The state of the Revenue, for the last Quarter,
proves to have been favourable. We understand that,
as compared with the corresponding Quarter of last
year, it exhibits an increase of £743,000. The Rt,
venue has been gradually impioving since the Oc-
tober Quarter, which, it will be recollected, was
peculiarly unproductive, as compared with the cor-
responding Qe4rter of the previous year. A consi-
derable portion of the increase is, however, to be
attributed to the operation of the New Duties.

We have refrained from taking notice of the many
strange reports that are current, respecting the
Quasx's " unanswerable Defence," till they have be-
'come matter of such notoriety, that to remain longer
Idea could be of no benefit, even to those feelings
of delicacy which we are most averse to offend.—
Our Classical Readers will recollect the burden of the
severe satire which CLAUDIA)/ has against ELITE°.
rum, who had been elected Consul of Rome, and on
what account he represents him as an old woman,
dressed up in the honours of the Consulate; our
Musical Friends need not be told how the soprano or
treble parts, in Italy, have been filled up, ever since
the establishment of the Opera, in the seventeenth
century ; neither need those who have travelled, or
read travels in other countries, be told by what sort
of personages the Herons of the East are guarded;
and if there be any of our Readers on whose memo-
ries a tale of love has a stronger hold than anything
else, we need only remind them of the name of Ana-
LAID I—The substance of the reports afloat then is,
that the Count BILEGAMI, the only individual who
figures in the charge brought against her MAJESTY,
belongs to the unfortunate class of persons thus va-
riously denoted.
Another version of the story spread abroad yester-
day is, that the Count is another D'EoN redivieus—
nothing more, in short, than a buxom damsel dis-
guised . in male attire, who • has acted the fart of
Chamberlain to her MAJESTY, as much to the life as
D'EoN did the part of Envoy to this country from
the Court of France.

Which of t4xse statements is the true one time may
shew and may not; they are repeated everywhere
with great. confidence ; and probably, after all, may
be nothing but idle inventions, arising out of the spe-
culations which the affirmation of an " unanswerable
Defence" is so apt to occasion.
The witnesses against her MAJZSTY are now ar►
riving in droves. We mentioned yesterday that five
Italians had arrived in town, under the care of a
Messenger. They remained the whole of yesterday
at the Blossonsi Inn, Lawrence-lane, and said they
were waiting Ika Mr. Coot. They are persons' of
the lowest order. The person who was described to
us as a Messenger, having 'the care of them, is now
said to be the Attorney of Milan, who assisted
Mr. COOK in the business of the Secret Inquisition.
He was originally a =akin mean circumstances, but
since the Milan Commission, drives a carriage! He
is said to have gone frequently about Milan saying
he had the Crown of England in his pocket
A second detachment of twelve persons arrived
last night, at a late hour. The first account we have
of this party will be. found in the following letter
from a Correspondent at Boulpgne:
" BOULOGNE, JULY &—Tivasair Enotnic.

44 I ant just come from the Hotel do France in this
town, where =rived, about five o'clock, two carriages,
containing a dawn Italians, under the charge of a
coarier, all of whom will be shipped off in about an
hour for London. It is well understood, they are
going to give• evidence against her Menne the
QtrILEN ON ENGLAND.

'• To give you a just description of these men,
would not be a very easy task. It is a positive fact,
that the chamber-maid at the Hotel, where the fellows
atopt to cleat and refresh themselves, was afraid to con•
duct them to the upstairs rooms ; and this, as they will
be seen in London, is all I shall say about their general
apptaranct. They may be all very virtuous, conscien-
tious men., but there is not a human being in existence
who would not shudder on knowing that his fate de-
pended on any testimony they were about to give ;
and I do hope that the character of English Justice,
l'whith has hitherto stood uarivilled, will not be sul-

lied by kWh men being caned in Eo ail her in meld-
ing the sword with which she is armed.
The.people on the eoritinent take griiat interest
in the affair of the Quests; and :bite her conduct, if
bad at all, was consideted by Ministtrt not to be 14
bad as to chile the door to negodtitiotitind slchom-*1
modationo they *will always believi her innocent;
even though she should be found guilty& They sal,.
castically alk, why she does not sent a grafi kg to
both Houses of Parliament ? And, well knowing that
the succession to the Throne cannot be affected by
anything past or anything future, they want.to know
what all the stir is about? If you tell them, in reply,
that the English Ministers are the guardians of the
public morals, they laugh you out of countenance!'
From Boulogne the party came over to Dover,
and what was thought of them there will be seen
from another letter, which we subjoin &

" DOVER.—Fasimit AtTmusoott.

le We have been all in a great bustle the whole of
this day. Early in the morning a party of a dozen
foreigners arrived by one of the packets, and a re-,
port immediately got abroad that they were wit
nesses against the Queen. Numbers of people col-
lected before they had been able to pass examiQation
at the Custom-house, and it was not without diffi-
culty that they were able to snake their way, amidst
hootings and execrations, to the Paris Hotel.
" the poor creatures appeared greedy terrified ;
they are all of the lower orders, and raggedly dressed,
except one who is said to be a courier, and another
a female, who has the attire and manners of afte
de chaisbre of the better sort.

" The mail had, I understand, been wholly en-
gaged to take them up to town, but by twdve
o'clock, when it kft, the crowd about the hotel had
become so great, and to all appearance so furiously
disposed, that it was not thought prudent to expose
the persons of witnesses of such value to the possi-
ble risk of being torn in pieces, and the mailnet off
without them. A flag was paraded through the
mob, with the inscription of the Quwr of Eagknd
for ever! -

4, The Civil Authorities have exerted themselves
with great vigour for the protection of the peace;
and, violent as the mob are, I sincerely hope the
poor creatures will be suffered to depart uninjured.
It can do tin honour to our national diameter to harm
persons who are come here—knd, it may be, com-
pelled to come—for the ends of public justice.°

Subsequently to the writing of this letter from oar
Correspondent, it would seem that the party had,
succeeded in getting away *hole and sound. In the
dead of last night they arrived, in three post-chaises,
at the gate of Lincoln's Inn-square. They inquired
for Mr. Coo: (who appears to be the Grand PUT*
veynr), but found that Mr. COOL was not at his
chambers. They then procured a direction to hit
private residence, to which they nest proceeded, and
where, for aught we know, they may now be seen
by the curious.

The Times of this morning states, thit the Qugas
has written to nearly a hundred persons in Italy, to
come to England to give evidence, and that many
of them are of the first families.

adopt, this correction, we must seek for another
explanation of her /411.urnry's meaning than that
which we ventured upon yesterday ; but we can
think of none which could reconcile such a cor-
rection to a meaning proper and beconfing.--To
be sorry that the Bill of Divorce comes so late,
since, twenty-five years ago, it might have been of
use to his ,MAJASTY, would be as much as to
say, that his MAJrsrr might 'then have obtained
that divorce which he now wants; the possible con-
sequence of which might have been to exclude the
Princess CHAILOTTZ from the succession to the
Throne. We need not say that her 'Biaturr: could',
never have meant any such thing; if she did say any
thing which could imply that meaning, it must have
been from a ward of familiarity with our vernacular

carriages were €sctotted back to the Tontine by a
party of the Hussars and the Paisley Rifle Corps.--
The duty afterwards devolved upbn the 15th Regi•
meet, whose guard-house was Immediately behind
the. Inn. The crowd which followed the Commis..
sion gathered round the door, and pressed upon the
military: While the soldiers were driving back the
people, one man, who lives at the Slates, received a
slight stab in the arm, and a young lad of the name
of Logle, was cut severely in the head with a halbert:
The indignation of the crowd was immediately di-
rected against the Serjeant. Observing this ferment;
the Serjeant ordered a fresh relief from the guard-
house, and set down his halbert. As this moment
Provost JAMIESON, by die command, it is said, of an
eminent Judge, appeared at the Hotel door, and ore
dering the Serjeant beside him, he requested all who
had seen the affair, to step forward and declare hoW

In the piesent untoward state of the Cotton spin.. -
'sing Trade, it is so far satisfactory that the price of
the raw material is low, and not very likely to be
higher. At Liverpool, New Orleans Cotton is selling
at 12d. to 12id. and Bowed Georgia at 10id. to 12.1 d.
The low pricevf the raw material is of the first con.
'sequence, as it gives the spinner the chance of an ad.
vance without any risk.

Sunday, about sixty Noblemen and Gentlemen sat
down to dinner at the hospitable board of this dis-
tinguished commoner, whose princely liberality and
unwearied attention to this, highly.interesting object.
are subjects of just encomium, not merely in his
native county, but throughout the kingdom. It was
a subject of great disappointment and regret to the
numerous company on Monday, that their worthy
host was so lame, owing to a fall from his horse, at
Quiddenham, a few days since, as to be unable otr-'
ride. On Tuesday he accompanied the party for
about an hoer. On Monday about three hundred
sat down to dinner, amongst whom were—

TilE BATTLE OF ALGIER&

From B!ackfrond's Magazine.

Come, join me, British landsmen, dragoons and gTenadien,
While I sing the tars of England, and the battle of Algiers.
1 it/Vs; seen your sabres flashing, and healli the din of blows ;
1 have mark'd the edge of bayonets that swept away your foes;
B it here the sword was idle, asleep the cutlass lay,
lhe mighty eanaon roar'd alone, and sailors won the day!

' ['was in the morning earl", the north wind bore us down,
And spread the 13titisli crescent's arms around the Moorish town,
'Alen w'd on ev'ry war-ship throughout the bending Ma,
B. fore the face of infidels, the Cross of CURIST divine
0 tr van of floating batteries the noble PELL►w led,
And bravely dropp'd his anchor a-breast of the Mole-head!
" Ncw yield thee, Prince of Pirates, and terror of the sea,
(-iv:: up thy plunder'd treasures, and set the captives free.
The sulphur-cloud of vengeance is gath'ring on the tide,
And the bolt of injur'd nations will blast thee in thy pride !"

The city rose above us as white as mountain snow,
Acrd grim the rampart-girdle hung o'er the wave below;
Berrath the yawning embrasures for action clear'd we lay,
And thrice five hundred cannon were pointed at the Bay!
The summer sun was westering as the work of dea-h bt gun ;
sunk. in cloud and darkness before the fray was done.
Then ye heard the crash of bulwarks that tumbled from their

height, •
And saw the rocket' streaming red athwart the vault of night,
And blazing barks dismasted came wildly drifting nigh,
And, midst the pause of thunder, ye heard the heathen cry !
" Now hold thee, gallant 4dmiral, I bow to Goa's decree;
I yield the virgin city, the empress of the sea ;
li,:nounce my plunder'd treasures, and set the captive free !"
Now shout, my lads," quoth brave Pitur.sw, " now shout fur
Victory !"
