IMPORT OF VIII ADDRISS.

Mr. LJDDILL, Mr. Wm, and two other Members appeared at the
bar with the Report of the Address. It was brought up, and read
a first and lie cocci time.

On the question that it be agreed to,
Mr. WESTERN rose to move an Amendment. The
Hon. Gentleman contended, that the price of grain at
this time had nothing to do with the commercial and
manufacturing distress, and advocated a persevering
inquiry into the causes of that distress, as the only
effectual means of preventing its recurrence. He should
not at present investigate those causes himself, but pro
ceed to move, as an Amendment, that a passage should
be added (which the Hun. Gentleman here read to the
House), expressing the conviction of the House that the
agriculturist, and other labouring classes of his Majesty's
subjects were involved in the greatest distress, owing
to the heavy burti,ens which were imposed on them, and
stating their intention of instituting some measure which
should restore them to the state of prosperity, which
they had enjoyed previous to 1815. He then moved—

" Your Majesty's faithful Commons feel it their duty to repre-
sent te your Majesty, and at the same time to express their deep re-
gret, that the agricultural classes, though not angering in the degree
they did a few years ago, particularly in the year 1822, are yet in a
state of severe pressure, from the heavy burdens to which they are
exposed. They will endeavour to trace the causes which have led
to the dreadful alternations of prosperity and adversity which all the
industrious classes have experienced since the termination of the war
in the year 181.5, and they trust they shall discover the means of
restoring the agriculture, commerce, and manufactures of the coo.).
try to the same condition sit progressive improvement in which they
were steadily advancing antecedent to that period."
bdr.LESTEIt seconded the Amendment. He thought
it a gross delusion to suppose that a repeal of the Corn
Laws would relieve all the distresses which existed
among the manufacturing classes. It would be bettei
for the latter to have wages proportioned to a high than
to a low price of corn, as the latter would leave. him nu
command of other al Odes. There was, in fact, no way
of effecting relief, but by. a reduction of taxation.
The Amendment having been put from the Chair,
Sir J. SEBRIIiII said; that he should give it his

opposition, becausehe thought this was not the time for
agitating the subjem. The King's Speech had been ob-
jected to as a 4, milk and water" document ; but, for his
own part, he liked it the better for being open to such a
charge. He did not think the King's Speech ought to
embrace topics upon which great difference of opinion
was likely to prevaiLeHe would only state, with regard
to the proposed Amendment, that no man was a greeter
friend to the agricultural interest than himself. It was
natural that he should be so, having himself an interest
is common with that class ; and his greatest difficulty
would be to divest himself of all prejudiced and inter-
ested feeling whenever the question came regularly for
their decision. He opposed the proposition of his Hon.
Friend, because he thought it at the present moment W-
arned and ill-judged. He repeated, that he considered
the grotinds of the criticism of the Hon. and Learned Member for
Winchehea upon the King's Speech, to be its great merit.
Mr. WESTERN said he should not take the sense of the House
upon the Question, but he wished to have the sentiments contained
in the Amendment placed upon the Journals.
The Amendment was then negatived, and the Address ordered
to be presented in the usual form.

ORDIIII3 IN COUNCIL.

Pdr- HUSKISSON presented Copies of the Orders in Council,
'of his Majesty's Government of the IA September, 1826, for ad-
mitting into the ports of the United Kingdom certain sorts of
foreign grain. The Right Hon. Gentleman moved that the papers
be printed, and that on Friday next the House should resolve itself
into a Committee of the whole House, to consider of the same.—

Accounts from Havre state, that the Milton is arrived
there in eighteen days from the United States, which
she left on the 28th of October, four days later than
'received in London. The Casilda frigate, belonging to
Admiral LABORDIeS squadron, had arrived at Jamaica
on the 6th of October, a. month after LABoaneleft
Havannah. No information was received there of the
74 ship of the line, on which the Admiral was on board.
Three of the frigates had arrived at the Havannah very
much damaged. It was calculated that the damage
caused by the tempest of the 6th Septembersrill sot be
less thin two million of dollars.

We take the following article from the Allgenteine
Zeitung, of the 16th November, received this morning :

FROM THE RHINE, Novrantaa v.
The note, of the Dutch Government, respecting the
Navigation of the Rhine, is called in several German
Journals, a document of the highest importance to
Germany. But in truth it is not important to either
German navigation or German cotiunerce, becaine the
greatest obstacle to both remains unchanged. It is,
however, so far interesting, as it shews that the steps
hitherto taken by Austria, England, Russia, and Prus-
sia, to induce the Netherlands to execute the Vienna
convention, are fruitless ; and that the Netherlands Go-
vernment have sought a new excuse,-to make it be be-
lieved that, dating from the Ist of April next year, it
will carry into effect the Vienna convention, for the
navigation of the Rhine. The only concessions ate,
that the Leck, which is choked with sand, is to be
considered as the Dutch Rhine ; that our ships may
' navigate it unmoltstel , that no more duties shall be
facade, than un the other parts of the 'Wine; and that
the prohibitions of transit shall be abolished. The bis

is impeding the navigation, for two thirds of the watet
carried down by the Rhine into Holland, are received
into the Waal, and a fourth of the remaining third by
the Yssel. We may judge therefore, how much-water
remains for the free Dutch Rhine; and it was, there-
fore. proposed, at the Vienna Congrese, that br4 the
Waal and the Leck should be considered as the Dutch
Rhine. The second has been long since promised by the
Dutch Government to the Commissiooers at sl.4yence,
and is, in fact, no more than the cessation of the higher
duties illegally levied in Holland. The la,t point, allow.
ing the free transit, removes the prohibitions existing in
favour of the Dutch trade, and permits the free trade
which the German shippers may carry on with each
;other on the Dutch Rhine, for they may henceforward
go without difficulty, as far as the sea. But there they
stick fast as in a sack, till they have paid the export duty
fixed by Holland at its own pleasure, and which may be
so high oa some goods as to be equivalent to a prol.i-
bition. If they will not do this, they will be at liberty
to go home again unless they think it best, th4t Vey
may not have made their voyage in vain, to sell their
goods to the Dutch for the small price which the latter
shall please to give. This is new freedom of the Navi-
gation of the Rhine to the sea. . •
The Dutch Statesmen, on the other hand, wish their
ships to navigate the whole Rhine free horn all staples,
tobring.colonial produce to the bosom of every German
state, and to take back their produce for the Dutch trit.'e
beyond the sea. A most promising concession, truly !
We have also received, by a private channel, the same
Paper, dated a day later ; but its contents are of co
consequence. Two sons of the King of PRUSSIA are to
be betrothed to Netherland and Weimar Princesses,.
There was a great fire at Lyons on the 7th ; and three
other extensive conflagrations have occurred at Berlin
One of them, and the largest, occurred at a baker's shop
opposite the Royal Castle.
According to the Meuse SA, at Manheim, Mr. GAN IA 117, of 31i.r.
tis, has discovered a Comet on the 28th October, in the cons:ell..tion
Argo, under 2191, the greatest length 56 florally deviation.
We have received, by Express, the Etude, dated yes-
terday ; but it contains nothing worth extracting.
French Papers to the 21st inst. and the Ltoilc of Tues-
day have also reached us. A letter from Madrid in the
Journal des Debuts, asserts that our
Minister
at t ,e Spa-
, Gish Court, the Hon. Mr. LAMB, having ascer tairrerftliat
arms were purchased and preparations made in secret
to undertake a coup-de main against Portugal, had i fr.
cially declared, that any armed attempt upon the Pot •
tugnese territory, whether effected by Spanish troops or
by Portuguese refugees, should be considere.l by Eng-
land as a declaration of war on the part of Spain.

PROK TUE rrou.a.
RIO JANEIRO, August 3.

(OFFICIAIICHAMBER OF bEnn TORS.)
On Wednesday, the 2d, at ten o'clock in the morning, 39 Sena-
tors, and 68 Deputies, met in the Senate Chamber. The President
having pronounced s discdurse, in which he explained the motives
of this general meeting, and the necessity of it, as pointed out by the
Correctional Code, desired to know of the Assembly, whether they
approved of drawing up a proses-eierba/ of the solemn act of rt:cogni.
tion of the Imperial Princes as successor to the Throsm ? Ti•i•
approval being unanimously given, the Act was read, and signed, in
duplicate, by the Presideat,and all the Senators and Deputies present.
LTI.e Act which follows, after stating that the Chambers had
met, as above described, sets forth the solemn recognition of &taw
Don PABLO of Akantara, &c. &c. (his Highness has thirteen names),
Prince Imperial, eldest lawful son of the Emperor Don PEDRO I.
ban 2d October, 1825, u successor of his august father to the
Throne and Empire of Brazil, with all the rights and prerogatives
which, in terms of the Constitutional Charter, belong thereto.l
The deputation of the General Assembly of the Senators and De-
puties, says the Diario Purninerser, which carried this document to
his Imperial Massuir, was most graciously received.

Though the sitting or the House of Commons last
night was but short, 'still a considerable variety of topics presented
themselves to its consideration. Lord Atvuoar moved the re-
newal of the Resolutions proposed last Session by Lord JOHN &s-
-ant, and passed by a majority of axe, relative to Bribery at Elec-
tions ; which, after some apnversation Ms Lordship consented to
withdraw.—The Report on the Address to his MAJUTY having
been brought up, Mr. Warsaw lamented that neither the Yutc's
Speech nor the Address adverted to the distress felt in a less, bet
still in a considerable degree by the Agricultural as well as the
Manufacturing classes. In order to repair the omission, he should
move an Amendment, expressive of regret at the existence of that
distress, and proposing to examine the causes which had led to
the dreadful alternatives of prosperity and adversity, which all the
industrious classes had experienced since the termination of the late
war." This Amendment was seconded by Mr. Lerma, and op-
posed by Sir J. SILDRIGHT, on the ground that it was not the time
for agitating the subject ; and it was negatived without a division.
As the I louse was about to rise, Mr.
Huss ALISON presented copies of
the Orders in Council for opening the ports to the importation of
certain sorts of grain; and moved that the [louse should resolve
itself into a Committee of the whole House to consider the subject
on Friday next.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The fluctuation this morning in Consols has been about a per
per cent. In the earlier part of the morning they were done at 831
for the Account, since which the market has become very heavy ;
and they may be quoted at present at 83 for this Account, and fur
next Account 83i, with little doing: although an Expt
ess has /I-
rived from Paris, with the Etoile of yesterday. which brings the
French 3 per Cents. 72f. and the 5 per Cents. 100 f. and after
'Change they were done at 721. 75c. This impnovement in the
French 3 per Cents. had Riot the least effect on our Como! market.
In the Foreign market South American Securities also wear a
