CONIIIITTZE 01 SUPPLY.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved
that the Committee of Supply be postponed•• to Wed.
nesday next.
Mr. A. ELLIS said he would take this opportuaity
of stating his objections to a project which he had un•
derstood to be in contemplation of converting York
House into a National Gallery. The situation and the
construction of that edifice rendered it quite unsuitable
for the purpose. In the present condition of the finances
it might be inexpedient to incur the eipense of building
a ptoper gaUery, but be thought it better to wait than
vainly to strive to adapt an edifice to this purpose,
which was so little calculated for it.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said.
that as soon as it became erident that York House
would not, be wanted for the purpose for which it was
built, it became the duty ai Government to Lcure the.,

priority of putchas•, in order that h might not fall ,
the hands of persons who could conceit' it into ,
llotel or any other establishment which would has
been peculiarly inconvenient or improper. Arid anidet
had been entertained that it might be appropriated
two learned Societies which now occupied apartment'
in Somerset House, and thus set free a portion of it,
la

I'heSocieties to which he alluded were theltoyal finetatl
and the Society of Antiquarians. On inspection,horrever,
it turned out that the edifice was much larger than wss
required for these purposes. It did then occur that
might be employed for the reception of the National pie,
tures. This, it was thought,particularly in present circus.

stance owing to their being open only for a short r
clod each year. To the National Gallery there had
never, be believed, been any great resort. Wi-
respect to appropriating it to the Heir Apparent,
the Queen Dowager, such an idea had never been en,
tamed. The gardens were too small,and there were other
disadvantages of situation, which rendered it'onfit fr
such an appropriation. At present, however, thehaddiag
was not in their possession. The parties who had ex
right to dispose of it had not yet stated their terms.

intended to build some ornamental houses on theleft of

this would not be a bad exchange for the dirty-

must be recollected that the artists did not live ti,,
and only sent their pictures there for exhibition.—
[lt was bete observed from the other side of
House, that the Artists studied at the Royal Academy,
The Right Hon. Gentleman resumed—Those who
slated upon that fact must require the National '
levy to be placed in the immediate vicinity of Somerset-
House, which was a situation in many respect' highl
objectionable. It was in one of the main tholoaghfsres•
of the metropolis, and in the midst of bustle and
fusion, circumstances peculiarly discordant wit:
nature, and adverse to the objects of such an institu-
tion. It was not sufficient to say that the .Angeratein
Gallery was large enough at present. If a place
ficiently spacious were provided, it might induce
others to follow the noble example of Sir George
Beaumont, and appropriate their collections to the o.
of the psi c and for the encouragement of the

and the Society of Antiquarians could be all placed
under the same roof.
An Hen. Menu= asked whether it was intended to remove'
statues from the British Museum and place them, together with
pictures, In the National Gallery ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER r
that many legal objections made it impossible. 131
had been made, leaving certain statues to be kept
with other articles specified in the will. An
Parliament could certainly enable them to do it, but
ought to be cautious bow they tampered with beq,
of this kind ; as, chewing so lute respect to the
testators, might preveqt others from bequeathing

Colonel TRENCH said, that he understood the
Duke of York had intended to have had the

into a dome, and that the expense was only estimate'
at 4004 so that he di4,pot think it as unfair calms'''.
to say, that the whole of the alterations necessary
make it a National Gallery would amount to no'
than 2,0001.

The following is an extract of a letter received this
morning:—
LISBON, *AK. 2&
" All is not yet offer hire; the Apostolic Junta has
changed its mode of attack. We have rumours of great
preparations in Spain ; they state that from 20 to 55,000
troops are on the'frontiers, well armed and equipped,'
and that they are in continual motion. BJdajos, ()li-
ven:4, and Ciudad Rodrigo, as well as other fortresses,
are put in the best state of defence.
"'the apostolic Junta, instead of sending troops into►
Portugal, are now sending money ; and it is confidently
noted, that one hundred and twenty thousand pounds
sterling have arrived for the purpose of bribery."

Estracts from the Paris Papers, which arrived last
Ilk will be found under the usual head. The
Quitiiienne, which never fails to charge the Spanish
Gnsnotaent with bad faith, whilst attempting to vindi-
lite its proceedings, says, with an air of triumph, that
the disarming of the Portuguese rebels is a mere farce.,
4 el.o states that the order for remov.ng them into the'
interior of Spain is only a feint, as they are permitted
to return in small detachments, the es:ort having in-
"I"" ns to connive at the;r escape. We are not sur-
Pled at the pointei and uncourteous contradiction
giver to these assurances by the Voile, for a more
"Istios libel upon any Government was never before,

published. What must bo the morality If the Apostoi
licals, when their chief organ puts forth such a aim'
ment as a subject of congratulation! 'lt seems abso-
lutely to prove, against these fanatics, that they have
revived, frr the guidance of their religious and
political faith, the horrible doctrine—that the ead
justifies the means. They evidently think. from
the exulting manner in which they ascribe an act
of the most deliberate peifisly to the Spanish Mo-
narch, that it would not only be a justifiable, but a
highly praiseworthy proceeding on his part, because
it is meant for the extirpation of what they are pleased
to term religious and political heresy. The Efoik,
though strongly suspected of being a conveit, in heart,
to the same desolating tenet, has yet the prudence to deny
that the policy of Spain is based upon it at this momeot-
We must, however, receive its denial with caution, par-
ticularly as a charge, equivalent to that in the Qmoti-
diease, is openly, though with very different feelings,
referred against the Spanish Government by the
Oporto Impartial of the 20th ult.
The Etoile asserts, upon the authority of the Augs-
burg Gazette, that the report of the relief of the Acro-
polis by the Greeks, was a mere fiction. Letters from
Egina, dated the 11th February, are quoted in proof of
this assertion; and as the fabricated account first ap-
peared in the Augsburg Paper, the refutation comes
with a better grace from the same quarter. Few ate
willing to believe to what extent the system of fabri-
cating news favourable to the Greeks has been carried
on by their friends; and we fear that, in this particular
at least, they likewise think that the end justifies the
means. Had the Greeks gained a tenth of the trophies
which have been claimed for them, there would not be
a Turk, except as a prisoner, in any part of their tern.
tory at the moment we are writing. In the meantime, it I,
is an undeniable fact that these piuus frauds have done
that people incomparably greater injury than service,
having greatly contributed, by inspiring them with a
false confidence, to reduce their affairs to the dep!orable,
if not desperate condition, in which they have been
placed for some time past. The defeat, which they
received before the Acropolis, will materially aggravate
their difficulties ; and, unless they are saved by the in-
terposition of the European Powers, we fear they have
no longer in themselves, the means of effecting this
object.

We received this morning Frankfort Papers to tht
Sd instant, and the Algot:dm Zeitsing to the same day ;
but their contents are very uninteresting. The former,
under the head of St. Perersburgh, 21st March, coneiin
the copy of a resolution rf the Council of the Emitire;,
sanctioned by the Estrum for regulating the mar.
riages of Asiatics with Russian females. Only such
marriages are allowed, as are contracted with females.

such marriages are to be brought up as ChristiAns:i

persuasion. they are strictly and unconditionally prohi-
bited as wholly incompatible with the practice of the
two Churches.

The Greek Committee in Bavaria has recently catried
to be purchased at a moderate price on the estates of
;he Duke of Lzocurausuats, in Italy, a million pounds
of maize of excellent quality. It is to be embarked
at Ancona, conveyed to NApoli de Rominia, and
placed at the disposal of the Committee, of which Col.
lizrnasoza, a Bavarian, is President, and which. is
charged with the distribution of the provisions.

Accounts from Vienna, dated the 28th of March,
say that their Imperial Majesties appeared the evening
before at the Theatre for the first time since the death
of the Empress of BRASIL. PaYRIC letters from
Parma, state that the Archduchess, MARIA LOUISA,
was so shocked on receiving intelligence of the death
of her sister, that she was obliged to keep her bed for
several days. We learn Abu from Vienna, that the
Brazilian Chamberlain, Sr. ROCS.% PINTO, who arrived
some time since in that capital, with an invitation to
the Infant Don Mitsun, to repair to Rio Janeiro, will
shortly return to Brasil without the Infant. The first.
dispatches from M. de NEUMANN, who is gone on a
mission from the Emperor of AUSTRIA to Rio de Ja-
neiro, are not expected till some time in the course of
next month.

The private accounts from Buenos Apes ate sixteen
days later than the Papers which arrived yesterday,
but they mention no fact of the least importance.
We have received a file of Calcutta Papers to the
25th of November, bat they are extremely barren of interesting
neuter. The latest attempts from liangoon'weta dated the latter
end of October, at which dote tie preparations for the anal
evaluation by the British were far advanced, and Sir A. Ceara=
bad bawd orders for the settlement of all accounts relative to
the subsistence of the Army. The Burmese continued to ma-
Rifest a very friendly disposition. The province of Teoassertm
laving. by some arrangrmengs for that purpose, been fully pro-
tected against the encroachments of the Siamese, had become
tranquil, and was rapidly advancing in prosperity. Lord Am-
mon was at Allahabad, in his program up the Ganges, and bad
received visits from various Princes whose territories lay in his
route. The King of Ovoa was daily expected, and a bridge of
boats had been constructed to facilitate his communication with the

Governor-General. Sir C. MITCALIP was at Jaypar, settling the
government of the young Rajah, whose minority was threatened
with all tho intrigue and cabal incidental to such cases ; but no ap-
prehension was felt of the necessity of au armed interference on
the part of the. British.
Mr.Caorow, the King's Messenger, art ived last night
