After some observations from Mr. dour!, Colonel Wood,
and Mr. C. W. Wye it, the Bill was read a second time and or-
dered to be committed on Wednesday neat.
Mr. Serjeant ONSLOW moved the farther consideration of
the Usury Laws Repeal Bill.
MY. CALCRAF opposed any alteration in the Law relative
to Usury.
Sir H. PARNELI. Fuppnrted the measure.
General MITCHEL argued against any alteration in the Usu-
ry Laws, and concluded by moving that the Bill be taken into
fur: her consideration this day six months.
I.urdCAS'II.EREAGFI suggested the propriety of putting off
the measure to another Sewing'. The reasons in favour of the
measure were so strung and so convincing, that it could not tail
to be successful.

Mr. Serjeant ONSLOW consented to postpone the me sere,
and moved that the Report be taken into lanky consideration
this day three months.
Mr. LIARING said, some alteration In the Usury Laws was
indispensably neee.•.ary. When money was at more than 5 per
cent. interest, landed proprie:iirs could not get it at all During
the war, when Government revre borrowing at more than 5 per
rein. interest, no landkel proprietor could get money at less than
Id or 1•! per cet.t. interest. Ihe commercial class-s of musty,
hunt their halms, could easily evade the Usury Laws.

11)140114 OF ADMIRALTY.

Mr. ABEKCRUMBY, in behalf of Sir James
Mackintosh, et.i.ose motion on th,s subject stood for
to-morrow, stated, that his Honourable Friend was
anxious to make way for the discussion on the Fi-
nances, and wished his motion to stand over for au
early day in the next Session.

IRISH GRAND JURII23.
iThepuler of the Day being read for the further
consideration of the Grand Jury Presentment Bill,
Sir FREDERICK FLOOD said, that he could
consider the measure in no other light than that of al
bill ofsindictment against the Grand Juries of Ireland,
who were the representatives of the property of the
country, and who, since the 36th of the King, bad
performed the duties which that Act imposed on
them very honestly and fairly. The measure would
take the business of presentments out of the hands of
the Grand Juries, and give it to five Magistrates t the
Juries would have nothing to do but to rejector ap-
prove their presentments. The Bill also created S 6
new Officers, who would altogether have Marks
amounting to £16,000 a year, in the gift of the Go-
vernmenta step peculiarly objectionable at this
time of retrenchment : it was, in his opinion, an ex-
travagant and insulting measure.
Mr. ABERCROMBY said, he should give the
Bill his hearty consent.. An entire change in the
system of Grand Jury Presentments in Ireland, .was
necessary, to pin an end to the multiplication of oaths
which led.to the commission of perjury, and to the
system of jobbing which prevailed on Grand Juries.
The measure, by striking at the root of this system,
would Increase the respectability of these bodies.—
Under the present method of proceeding, the number
of presentments to the Grand Juries was so great,
that it was impossible that they could be properly
attended to. In proof of this assertion, he read ex-
tracts Item the evidence of Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald,
taken before the Committee on this subject, by which
it appeared, that at the Assizes of the County of
Tipperary, the number of presentments was such,
that the Grand Jury could have allowed only two
minutes to the consideration of each, if they bad sat
thirteen hours every day, and attended to no other
business. A preliminary investigation, as directed
by the Bill, would put an end to this inconvenience.
The measure would also increase the respectability
of the Quarter Sessions, and cause the Magiarates to
attend to the business there, which was now left to
the Assistant Barrister& From the number of pre-
sentments which bad been before alluded to, the
business was deferred to so late an hour on the last,
day of the Assizes, that it was impossible for those
who wished to traverse to do so. As to the new
Officers who were to be appointe4 (County Sur-
veyors), he was hardly competent to say whether
they were necessary, or whether their business might
not be done by 'the Magistrates ; on that subject he
should be willing to hear what could be said in a
Committee.

Sir GEORGE HILL opposed the Bill. Thisl
was a measure which affected the interest, of sixteen
counties in Ireland.' It was a bill of indictment
against the whole of those counties. It was brought
in without evidence; there was nothing in favour of
it but the• er-pane statement of five counties. Its
effect would undoubtedly be to make the resident
proprietors asap ciphers.
While the Honourable Baronet was continuing his
argument. the Deputy Usher of the Black Rod sum.
mooed this House .to the Houle of Peers, sod on
their remit, the Speaker informed the House, that
the Royal Assent bad been given by Commission to
the Habeas Corpus Suspension Bill, and sums other
Bills.
Sir GEORGE BILL thep moved, as an amend.
mcut, that the Report of ail: Itish (Stand Jury Pre.

:nutrient ttill be taken into conii3eration ctly
three months.

Mr. PEG!. could not agree to postpone the tnea•
sure till next Session ; for if the House was not now
possessed of all necessary information on the subject
after the repeated discussions which it had under-
gone, it never could be fit to legislate on the sul-;ect.
The Right Honourable Gentleman then went on to
refute the various arguments and objections of the'
I Honourable Baronet (Sir George Hill). He made
several statements illustrative of the evils of the pre.
sent system, and to shew the frauds which had been
practised under it. He contended that nothing could
be more beneficial, than to have the Magistrates'
make their reports to Grand Juries. The only ob-
jection, if any, to any part of the Bill was, in his
opinion, that which relnted to the Spring Assizes;
but he was happy to inform the House, that his
Right Honourable Friend who had introduced the
measure, intended to substitute the Summer Assizes.

Mr. PONSONBY. thong!) he felt the force of
many of the objections urged against the Bill, and
though he concurred in some of them, yet, upon the
whole, he was friendly to it ; but there was one part
of it which he would be sorry that the House should
agree to, as it now stood, upon the Bill, namely, the
clause relative to the County Surveyors. He could
nut agree with those who thought the appointment
of those offices necessary, for the only effect would
be to throw additional influence into the bands of the
Iris! Government. These Surveyors would be merely
a revival of the Conservators, whose appointment had
been so pernicious.
Sir N. COLT HURST spoke shortly in favour of
the Bill. It would be particularly desirable in the
Bill to substitute the Summer Assizes instead of the
Spring Assizes.
Mr. V. FITZGERALD justified the necessity of
all the different parts of the Bill which the Gentle-
men opposite had objected to. Not one clause had
been introduced but what had been recommended by
the Committee, as tending to a beneficial object. He
was confident no measure more important to the in-
terests of Ireland had been brought forward since
the Union.

Sir H. PARNELL did not think the Office of
Surveyor liable to so many abuses as had been stated,
as no person could be appointed who was not a most
competent Civil Engineer. He was sure the opinion
of the people cf Ireland concerning this Bill, was
very differeqt from that which the Right Honourable
Gentleman had stated, which was rather 01st-of the
Gland Juries. Convinced of its necessity, he should
give the Bill his most cordial support.
S,r S. ROMILLY spoke as to the vast importance
of the Bill, and the necessity of making it as perfect
as possible.
COURTENEY was in favour of the Bill.

Mr. A BERCROMBY was against its being hut•
tied over.

Mr. V. FITZGERALD said, he felt strongly
what had been said by the Gentlemen on both sides,
and being anxious to conciliate them all, he would
suggest that the Bill be recommitted on Wednesday
next, and to report it forthwith.
Mr. CaoNan,. Sir N. CoLTaURST, and Mr. W.
QUIN were.against procrastination.
The SPEAKER suggested, that the recommit-
ment of the Bill till Wednesday would cause the third
reading to be delayed one day. It was worthy of
consideration whether this were advisable.

The question for the recommitment on Wednes-
day was then carried. ,

COSIMITTEE 1F SVPPLT.

On the motion of the CitaNcet.ton of the EXCIIIL-
Q 6611. that the House go into a Committee of Supply,
and that the Petition of the High Bailifiof Westmin-
ster be referred to the said Committee,
Mr. BANKES thought it highly objectionable to
bring forward such a subject at so late a period of
the Session; as even now the Report on his claim was
not to be had at the Vote Office. He desired it to be
understood that he did not object to the claim, but
to the time at which it was brought forward.
Mr. LOCKHART thought the subject could not
be brought forward earlier.
The CHANCELLOR of_ the EXCHEQUER
supported the claim.
Mr. BENNETT, before the house went into the
Commitiee, wished to know of the Right Honourable
Gentleman opposite the result of the inquiry that had
been made into the case of Evans, confined in Horse-
monger-lane ?
' Mr. H. ADDINGTON alluded to the strong and
' unfavourable impression that had been made by the
statement that had appeared on the case of this pet•
son, and was anxious that the Gentlemen who hid
heard what was alleged on Friday last should be pre-
sent to hear his reply, that they might convince
themselves whether the explanation would not do
away the charge. He felt it his duty to state, that
he would be in his place at an early hour to-morrow,
in order to take the first opportunity of giving this
explanation.
Mr. BENNETT declared he would be ready to
say as much as the Right Hon. Gentleman its favour
of the Keeper of the Prison.
The House then went into the Committee, when
Sir G. WARRENDER having moved that the
sum of 4133,511 be granted to his Majesty tur de-
fraying the Ordinary Establishment of the Navy, for
a period of seven Lunar months trona the 7th day of
June, 1817.

Sir C. POLE repeated his objections to the small-
ness of the Pensions granted to Naval Officers of a
certain tank and their Widows, comparing them, as on
former occasions, with the large and unequalled pen-
sions of Officers of the Army. He stated a case of
some sisters of pee family, a ho had applied in conic.
quence of having lost seven brothers in the Naval
Service, four of whom had arrived at a rank equal
to that of Captain in the Army ; and yet the pen-
sions they could obtain would be quite insignificant,
while in the other branch of the service, they would
have been very considerable. He contended that it
was highly unjust such a distinction should prevail.
He thought the Committee ought to lay down some
scale for better equalizing the Pensions.
Sir. G. WARKENDER. concurred entirely with
the gallant Admiral, as to the Civil Pensions ; but
there were many which were not in the Navy Esti.
mates at all, and he must see that it would be only
doing injury to the cause to oppose the humb stated
there.. general, however, the Naval Pensions
'maintained a scale precisely similar to those of the
same rank in the Army; and it was impossible to in-

'creme them at present. Fie answered thr cth,
sections of the Hon. Admiral, and Iwped when I.
whole subject was reconsidered by the Cornmit:,
such regulations might be adopted as mould be b.
nvEcial.

Mr. CALCR AFT contended, that the Officers in
the Navy were not on the same footing as those ie
the Army, which they ought to be. He alfuded tv
I the retiring pensi,.ns of Sir T. l'hompinn, which was
very large, particularly the last pension uf six hun-
dred pntu.ds a-year, which came in a very ques-
tionable shape. It kad been plausibly supposed that
Oa; peitsion had bier; given him to nay the expense_
of the Rochester eke:ian. ("Jeer. hear,) He would
say, that this was hip firm belief, as that pension had
nnt come till long a4.ier Lis retirereent fro'm t%e o'Ntc
of Comptroger of -lee Navy. He v'as io the rte.:if)•
of time t:;ous•.ed p .cads a year from Governrree:,
Wild! WAS kill :'s I..rge. as t.ie pension of I_,Jd
Vincent, or any Atlesir.,l en the honks,
Sir G. WAR R E?iDER justiEed the pension
every ground, ground, but particularly on that of the serve:,
of the gallant Officer, in the navy, and the loss
limb. He was satisfies! the Committee had d.,r4
nothing more than what ought to be done. He had
served twelve years in the laborious situation cf
Comptroller of the Navy, the duties of wtiich atet
almost more than human nature could endure. The
First Lord of the Admiralty had given him -.1,e an-
pointment of Treasurer of Greenwich Hospital,
cause so much as the salary amounted to was SAVtd
to the public by being dinsintshed from the pension t•i
which be was entitled ; and yet the House ‘‘ere to
be told that it was given to him for an election :o.e.
The circumstance conferred great honour on the Virst
Lord, :IS it was in fact sacrificing his own peronage.
Sir O. HOPE and Mr. CROKER also justied
the pension on similar grounds. A great poitioo cr
it had been received for wounds equal to the loss cf
two limbs, and on the same basis as every atiter OT.-
cer either in the army or navy.
The sum of £GIO,KiS was then proposed Icy t.L.e
deficiencies of the Extraordinary lista!slishiment of the
Navy for the sane period, which gave rise to a
conversation about the Plymouth breakwater.
Mr. ROSE took this opportunity of alluding to
the Petition which had been presented on FritLy
evening from Dennis Sullivao, complaining of ti
ill-treatment he had received, both at the Admiralty
and the Navy Pay 0111.:e, and charging him distinctly
with acting unjustly towards him respecting Lis
prize-money, which he load not been able to ;sincere.
He owed it to himself in say, that there was not the
slightest foundation for the statement so made. lie
(Mr. Rose) on receiving his application, immediate-1y
wrote to the Agent, and obtained for him the sum
of £4. 17s. H.• then complained of :I deduction of
7s. Gd. and lie (Mr. Rose) had not thought thts trifle
too contemptible to inquire about ; but had writtea
immediately, and had ascertained that it v.-as justly
deducted for the commit.ion, stamps, postage, it-.
Sullivan then wrote to him agai,., sating, that he
was contending for the rights of his brethren, an
wished to have the Agents overhauled. He (Mr.
Rose) thought these people were pretty well oser-
hauled, as he had two of them in prison, and had
attached the securities of several others. He had
'thought it right to state thus much, that the seam,n,
as well as the public, -.hould know they acre pre-
tected by Government against arty imposice.n.
'defended the conduct of the Gen:lemen bo:h at the
Admiralty and the Navy Pay 0:lic against whuu
this person had complained.
Mr. WYNNE, Mr. D. GrKeettr, and Sir C. P9Lr,
spoke in the highest terms of the benefits the tervi:e
had received front the indefatigaf,le attention of the:
Right lion. Gentleman.

Alter various sums had been voted for the im-
provement of Holyhead Harbour and the road :o
Mr. ARBUTHNOT pmposei several itcals

The Amendment made by the Commons on the
Wear Suspension Bill, limiting its duration to the
'No: March, was agreed to List night by the Peers,
an 'he Bill received the Itoy.dAssent by Commission.

Last night a Mail attived•from Flanders, and this
zoning one from Id°lland.
We are happy to find that every where there is the
r'ir.cct of an abundant harvest, but in the mean
tele the sufferings of the people have urged them in
rufous places to outrageous proceedings. On the
there was a riot at Sierre ; the populace pillaged
t corn warehouses of Mr. VARLUDEN, who thought
i!frudent to withdraw from their fury by going with
1..; family to Antwerp—the Authorities succeeded in
vztoring tranquillity,, At Lockeren the people broke
AFC windows of a corn merchant. At Mons they were
t. r a momentapprehensive of still serious disturb Ances.

—The populace, after plundering the butter market,
vPnt to two corn magazines to break them open, but
i‘e activity of the police prevented this: mean time
a:ree or 4,000 labourers, employed on the fortigca.
,i;..rs of the city, attempted to get into it; then the
rtes were shut, and the cannon pointed at these de.
hded people, and firm measures put an end to these
,Hrciers. TrAnquillity seems wholly re-established
Mons. Every where there is a general cry of
• Bread.! Bet these public distresses happily ap.•
p.rch their end.

The Brunele Oracle of the 27th ult. contains long
devils of similar disorders at Cambray, Bruges,
Ghent, Antwerp, and Namur. At Antwerp; 18
seise's, laden with corn, arrived on the 221 and 23d,
EA 21 vessels on the 25th. The KING has granted
-,OOU hectolitres of corn to the Grand Duchy of
kremburg, and similar assistance to other Pro-
vinces s.nd Districts.

From the following' extracts, it appears that the
Dutch hate met wirli some opposition in the occupa•
t:oa of the Islands in the East Indies, recently deli-
saed up to them by this country;

u HAARLEM, JUNE 27.
'• Private letters from /Wily dp to the 6th of Jel•
tity, say, that in the beginning of December the
1::!and of Banca was delivered up-by the English to
t!.e Dutch. The Iris (cot vette) has sailed to Borneo
o take possession of Banjarmassing, fur it seems that
natives made at first some opposition, and that a
rl.mker of exiles and malefactors who were there,
rade use of the opportunity to go on board and to
return to Java.

" Afterwards the occupation of Banjarmassing
r,ally took place, but the exiles who had ianded in
bra, being supported by several pirates, could not
b, kept in check by the troops ; and news was
k•osght that a corps of several hundred men had
across the mountains, in order first to attack
4,ntam, and thee to venture towards Batavia. Be-
Icrt the military force from Batavia, Samarang, &c.
c::11,1 be drawn together, the exiles appeared before
e post of Indromaye, some miles from Buitenzorg,
and compelled it to retire ; but, on the same night,
the troops of the Regency of Preauger, some cavalry,
and Netherland artillerymen, with two pieces of can-
non, were cellecred, and the Rebels were attacked
I? surprise. They endeavoured at first to resist, but
Log terrified by the cannon, they were completely
rftted-100 killed, and the rest, both wounded and
lode:ays, taken prisoners, and will be shortly sent
to t:,e Moluccas, when our troops go to take pus-
snsion of them.

. -

On our side we lost ten European soldiers, seve-
ral wounded, and some belonging to the native corps.
" The pirates above mentioned are extremely bold,
theY even ventured into the Straits of Sunda, and
:soy took a small vessel, and cruelly murdered all
the Whites that were on board."
The Dutch Papers received this morning, quote a,
Atter from Leghorn, which states, that a repdrt is in'
c.:rulAtion there of.troubles having broken out at
14.11 a, and that it Is to this circumstance, the late
dtpArtutc of General MAITLAND, along with Admiral
Pukest, from Corfu, for that Island, is to be attri•

. L
Wed. I.Pgborn has been rather remarkable for it's
roomers of ltte, and we make no doubt dim this may
be Early considered as of a piece with the Algerine
massacre in other atrocities, for which we have
been indebted to vie sportive malice of otti French
anJ Italian neighbours.

The Paris Paper: ot F, Way and Saturday last have
arrived:

'The Minister of Fin.ince has officially announced,
that of the sum of 44,6.15.464 fr. or £1,860,640,
beans the entire amount of the interest of the French
national debt, due on the 24(1 of March last, these
has been already paid 39,76.5,230 fr. or £1,656,884;
and that the remainder is ready to be paid, without re-
serve, on application at the Bureau de la Dette
The Directors of the Bank of France have, at the
same time, declared a dividend of 41 fr. 50 c. per
share, with an addition of capital to each shareholder,
in the form of reserved interest, of 5 fr. 75 c.
The Funds, partly influenced by these announce-
ments, are regaining their former elevation. The
.5 per cents. were, by the last quotation, at 6.5 fr. 20c.
The change which has taken place in the Ministry
by the appointment of Marshal Gouvion Sr. CYR to
the Naval Department, gives general satisfaction;
less, however, on account of the removal of M. de
Boucuaoe, himself a man of trifling influence in the
Cabinet, than on account of hope the it affords of the
dismissal of the Duke de FELTRE, as a consequence
of this measure. It is understood that Marshal Gou-
srioN's appointment to the Marine Department is only
a step to his reinstatement in the War Department,
which he may be remembered to have held before it
was accepted by the present Minister. There exists
between these two Ministers, Sr. CYR and de FELTHE,
an irreconcilable enmity, which renders it impossible
for them to sit for any length of time in the same Ca-
binet.
The appointment of Marshal Sr. CYR may be
considered as a great point gained by MM. LAINE and
De Cams, who will now bend all their efforts tol
effect the removal of the War Minister ; in which
case Marshal Sr. CYR. as above stated, would re-
sume the War Department, and resign his present
office to M. PASQUIER, who would himself give up
,the seals to M. itavez, already his co-adjutor as Un-
der Secretary of State for that Department. By thesa
arrangements, which are confidently expected, some
degree of unity will be restored to the Ministry, and
some degree of consistency to its operations.
The dissolution of the Diet of Wirtemberg has
been followed by Addresses to the KING from a great
many parts of the country, disclaiming the conduct
of the Diet, and desiring to be admitted to the bene-
fits of the plan of Constitution which they had re-
jected. These Addresses are almost wholly from
the new Provinces ; the old States preset ving the
most obstinate silence on the subffict.

Yesterday, the answer to inquiries after the state
of his Royal Highness the Duke of CLARENCE, was,
“ The Duke is a great deal better to-day."
About twelve o'clock last night, in the House of
Commons, when the CHANCELLOR Of the BECHE•
QUER moved that the House should go into a Com.
mittee on the Eitents in Aid Bill, Mr. PONSONBY
was suddenly taken alarmingly ill. His situation ex-
cited great interest, and of course occupied the whole
attention of the Members. 'The propriety of an im-
mediate adjournment was suggested, and a motion
that the Honse should adjourn, was instantly made
and agreed to. The Right Honourable Gentleman
was conveyed• behind the Simmons% Chair, were he
remained for some time in a tainting fit ; 'and was
afterwards (borne on the arms of seven or eight mem-
bers) carried in an horizontal position, apparently in
a lifeless state. from the House, across the lobby to
the office of the SPEAKER'S Blcretary. Medical as-
sistance having been promptly procured, the Right
Hon. Gentleman was let blood; symptoms cf reco.
very manifested themselves, and he was soon after
able to leave the House in the carriage of Earl GREY,
who came in great baste upon the first intelligence of
his friend's danger, and :hewed a degree of interest
amounting to agitation. All the Members, indeed,
evinced great anxiety. The CHANCELLOR of the Ex-
CHEQUIR did not go till he heard that Mr. PoksoN ay
had been declared out of danger. The Sreastett re.
mained in the House notwithstanding the adjourn.

more fully &hewn than it was on this occasion. It
was about half past twelve when Mr. POSSONBY was
taken to his house in Curzon street.

The system of iron paving seems to be coming into
use in the Metropolis, and promises to be highly be-
neficial. Already the stone paviours are alarmed for
the eafety of this great City, and with much solicitude
wish to call upon Parliament to prevent :tie laying
down of such an immense area of an electric conductor
as will bring all the thunder to London '.—How
comes it that Parliament have so long suffered the
Thames to'pass so near this great Metropolis
From the present temporary stagnation of the mer-
cantile part of this kingdom, it is computed that there
is at this time upwards of three millions of capital no.
employed by the Bankers and Traders.
The PIUNCE REGENT has granted a pardon to John
Robertson, who was condemned at last Circuit Court,
Aberdeen, on condition that he be transported be-
yond seas for life.—The sentence of death passed
against Pringle and Sniki, at the last Glasgow Cir-
cuit, has also been commuted into transportation
for life.

It has come out on the examinations of the priso-
ners now in custody, in Nottingham county gaol, owl
charges of being concerned in the late outrages, that
several of them were in situations far above want,
being persons of small property, and that others were
in the habit of earning from 15s. to 245. weekly.
COVENT-GARDBY TIMM. Last night, Miss
O'Nett.t. performed her favourite part of Juliet, in
SIMICSUAIRE'S Tragedy of Romeo and Alio; she
never appeared to more advantage, or displayed
more delicacy, soreethess, and discrimination, in this
very interesting character.—More splendid boxes we
have not witnessed, or a more crowded house. Mr.
C. KV.1131.E, as Howse., and Mr. Jowls, as Mercurio,
were very tifectiv., and received' their• tribute of
approbation.

" Our acc,,tlrts km South cti meriza arc very fi tt•
tering. It will be.seen by r.kises v.::ich we rt.'.;;:d:
this day, that the Patriots' cause is continually in-
creasing in- strength. The Province of Caroni, in

contest, has declared for the liberty of the Country."

" The Patriot General Mina is sa'd to have sailed
from Gahiest. n with a considerable l:::pedition, and
arrived off Tempico, which plate he intended to
attack. He was well provided with cannon and am-
munition, and effetted a landing in th vicinity of the
town without opposition. He had succeeded in forti-
lying his position, which would afford a safe harooor
and protection to his shipping, to cover his retreat
and re-embarkation, if he should be ur;luccessful, of
which, however, there was no apprehension, as his
means were considered fully adequate to the reduc-
tion and occupancy of the place.
" The Royalists under Morillo have met' with a
severe defeat. Still more auspicious are the circum-
stances attending the Brazilian Revolution. If our
infortnation be correct, the whole country has fol-
lowed the glorious example of the Province of Per-
nambuco, with such unanimity, that the Patriots
have little to tear from the assaults of the Royalists.
We cannot but contemplate with feelings of admira-
tion the wisdom, moderation, and firmness, which
have characterized the proceedings of the Provincial
Government of Pernambuco, in every step of the
Revolution."
