goes; bat that fp* not apply here. Here the
'atotplir 'en .was, ‘'i•hether the. House would re-
. detesallle einployment of informers—
whetter they woulkl encourage a system whi.:h would u
' sap the first prinyiple; of our constitution,. and con-
sequently the happines3 which resulted frosty them ?
A system of espionage, at once fatal to the honour of
the Government—fatal to the freedom of the nation
—fatal to the comfort of every branch of society.—
(Loud eheering.)--There was some pause after the
•
Right Hon. Gentleman had concluded, till--
Mr.IVILBERFORCE rose: he began by .saying
that he should not have offered himself to Cie attest-
tion of the House, if he had not been called uppn in
so marked a manner. If the House entered into In-
quiry, it would be the most difficult and indetermi-
nate that ever was gone into. The Committee really
meant in their Report, to state that the Ferretti rising
was fixed upon before Oliver went amon the cot-
,
•spirators ; and if he were to ask all the eritleinen
on the Committee, he believed they would all be of
one opinion. He defended Ministers for employing '
that person. He was against inquiry, and indeed if
it was gone into, all parties might come out in dis-
race—(flear,hear).—He opposed the motion because ,
it was indefinite, but if the Honourable Gentleman
would frame one definite in its nature, lie would give 1
it his support:
Lord A. HAMILTON read a paper ineulpating Richmond,
the infoniter, by representing him to have endeavoured to excite
those with whom he communicated to acts of insurrection, by
all the means in his power.
Dlr. PHILLIPS was surprised, after the sentiments which
bad been avowed by the Honourable Gentleman near him (Mr.
'Wilberforce), that, framed as the present motion was, be should
not base the benefit of his vote, because If the inquify commen-
ced; be (Mr. Wilberforce) could see no end to it. He briefly
ectieed what had fallen from other speakers, and concluded by
insisting on the propriety of granting the prnposed inquiry.
The House then divided, when the numbers wee, Ayes 69--
Noes 16t—Majority against the Motion 93.
Lord rOLICEITONI postponed his motion respecting County
Gaols till Wednesday next.—Adjourned at Half-past Twelve.

A.further depression in the Funds took place this morning :
the Market opened at 77 7-9ths for money, and 71114111 for the
account, but soon fell to 77 3.4ths. The Commissioners for the
Sinking Fund were served by one Broker at 77 oft-half, and
the Market looks heavy at that price. The insert opinion is,
that a further &peal= will take place. ,
;
A Dutch-I
-Mail arrived.this morning.--It is believed
in Holland and the Netherlands that the negotiation
with which the Duke of WELLINGTON is occupied at
Paris, viz. the Evacuation of France by the Allied
• Troops, is greatly advanced, and that this event will
, • take place in the course of next Amman.
• The Duke of Wazi.warcoris Appeal in the libel
cause is expected to come on in the Court of Cassa-
tion this week.
The large contracts for building .materials, lately
announced in the French Northern Departments. have
been concluded ; and the public works are expected
to be soon pursued with vigour by the French Go-
. vernment.
The late attempt to assassinate the Duke of Wet-
' LZNGTON has had the effect to deter many English .
families, who had reached the Northern Depart-
. - meats, intending to spend the approaching summer
in France, from following up their purpose. Several
of them have returned to the Netherlands, and others
have taken other routes.
The French Police has fOr some time been re-
markably strict' respecting persons passing the fron-
tiers—in consequence, it is believed, of some circum-
stances which have come to their knowledge respect-
ing the late attempt against the life of the Duke ; but
whatever information they have obtained is kept a
•
profound secret.
The following are the only other accounts brought
by this Mail, which deserve any notice :

of Government there, and where the people have so
decidedly expressed the with for a liberal representa-
tion. It is stated that the Austrian Court is very de-
sirous for the organization of the German Confede-
ration, anal that in the principal points it •is wholly
agreed with the Court of Berlin.
