PARLIAMENTARY REFORM.

Lord COCHRAN e presented a Petition from the
Borough of Dumbarton, in Scotland, praying for
Reduction and Reform. The Noble Lord, advert-
ing to the expense Attending the transmission of Pe-
tiuons co Parliament, gave it as Lis opinion, that
they should be conveyed postage free.
Mr. C. GRANT stated, that he had pail £3. or
£4. for a packet on l'ailiamentary business, trans.
witted to him, and upon applying to the Post-office
he had the money returned.—(Hear, hear).
Mr. BROUGHAM wished to know how this
could happen in some cases and not iu other lie
himself had paid vi or considerable sums for Petitions,
and other communications frequently of little impor-
tance, sent him, becaose the parties thought, that
being a Member of Parliament, they would cost him
nothing. lie had paid so much as five tor seven
pounds, and ha.l never got back a farthing.
The SPEAKER stated, that formerly there was
no remedy for cases of this sort, but that now, by
the clause of an Act that paused about two years
Ago, such mcncy would be refunded. The clause
occurred, he believed, in an Act relating to East In-
dia shipping.---(ificar, altar).— It was, continued the
Speaker, now law wherever it was found.
The clause was then read. It enacted, that ever/

Member might receive Petitions, &c. free of poltaga,
provided the same did not exceed six ounces. The
conversation continued a little longer between Mr.
GRANT, Mr. BKOUONIAK, and Mr. LUSHINGTON, and
terminated by the reading of the Title of the Act in
which the clause alluded to was found, which was an
Act to regulate the conveyance of ship•letters, and
letters between Ireland and Great Britain, &c.
The Petition was read, and ordered to lie on the
Table.
Lord COCHRANE then presented various Peti-
tions, with nearly the same prayer of Reform and
Retrenchment, from Glasgow and its neighbour-
hood; one from Bridgetown, near Glasgow, one
from Antierstown, one from the. Gcirbals, one from
the Barrny Parikh of Glasgow, one from Alexan-
dria, Bonhill, &c. &c. and one from the Parish of
Govan. They were all received, and ordered to he
on the Table.
Mr. BROUGHAM presented a Petition from the
Inhabitants of the Ward of Aldgate, in the City of
London. It set forth, said the Honourable and
Learned. Gentleman, cheat:ow: of misgovernment,
to which the. Petitioners attributed the present on.
paralleled distresses of the Country ; it dwelt upon
the magnitude add Extent of those distresses ; •and,
after examining into the immediate rinse of these'
grievances, it oltitnately traces them to the corrnp-
non of the. House of Commons. 'l'be great burdens
of the Nation arose front the late destructive war.;
they were increased by agross negligence of all eco.
Point', and a prodigal expenditure of the Public re-
sources, proceeding from that negligence and want
. of controul..-(Kree. kar).—The .Pentioners, there.
fore, as the only remedy for the sufferings ender
which the Nation groaned, prayed that the expels.
diture of the Country might be diminished, that our
overgrown e4ablishments might be reduced, that a
system of rigid economy might be established, and,
as a .means of sattaining. thewe desirable objects, and
affording a• security against the iecurrence of similar
evils, that a Reform in the Representation, might
take place. and the corruptionof Parliament might
be removed. The Petitioners pointed out no specific
plan of Parliamentary Reform, but only MOM-
'mended the adoption of such a Reforni.as would put
them in possession of their rights, leaving to the wis..
dons of- the Legislature the mode in which that ob-
ject could best be accomplished.—(llear,heor).-..He
. (Mr. Brougham) would refrain, for the present,
from expressing any opinion on the various matters
embraced by the Petition, because, to enlarge on
some of thew, would be superfluous, and on others,
Would be premature. .The distresses of the Country.
which the Petitioaers described. ilk.re too general to
escape notice, and too keenly felt to-admit of doubt
About the remedy for these distresses there miitlit be
isueb.differenee of opinion, and how far Parham's-
tare Reform might be tossideted as one of them, ett
what: kind of Reformi should be adopted, should be
leit to future deliberation. when the. :abject was re.
silirly .brought before-the House. Various Mum

ef which, various opinions might be loaned--
Against the adoption of Uhiversal Suffrage the House
was Unanimous, and he (Mr. Brougham) bird again
alluded to the tobjtet' • that he might bear if there
was one disseat—thathe might see if.any within the
walls of Parliament encouraged such odelusion, and

prejudices and personal interests which too' often
guide the Meinfiers of that House in their decisions
on gnat public questions ; the people must be best
able to judge of what is calculated to promote their
own happiness and prosperity ; the people, Sir, judge
molly and conscientiously."—(A lord larek, and cries
of year, Isar)`—The best criterion of justice on any
point, was the opinion of the great body of the
people; and sorry he was to say; that their judg-
ments were often very different tram those of the
House of Commons. . But, at any rate, he thought
it must be admitted, that the queition of universal
suffrage was a fair matter for discussion, supported,
as it was, by such numerous petitions; and he would
add, that in like manner as it was unparliamentary
for one Member to ascribe motives to another in the
course of debate, so no Member had a right to stand
up and impute delusion and sinister views to so large
a portion of the people of England. He hated that,
if delusion exited, it was to be found in a very dif.
anent quarter—in Parliament itself, which seemed by
no means aware of the real sentiments of the people,
and of the necessity of meeting the distresses of the
people with a disposition to alleviate them. He bad
said before, and wunld 'now restate, hat triennial'
Parliaments, which, seamed to be a middle comae

Isiah there eras no permanent safety faiths people
but in annual Parliaments, and in a plan. which 'bald

keepers. He concluded by repeating his 'astonish-
ment, that the Learned Gentleman should get up sad
impute delusion and sinister motives to so large a
body of people as had signed the petitions for ma.
venal suffrage.
Mr. BOSWELL thought the Noble Lord, who
came down to the House night after night with hue-
dies of petitions under his arm, might be compared liti

• Vie some time sips informed not Reader* of e
mad tOospitacy having been .foriwd in the vicinity
of Bayonne to overturn the Bo is Dynasty and
restore that of BoitAPAnTII. Hatilteet ridiculous this
plot, it was nevertheless necessary that the conspira-
tors should not be suffered to go off with impunity.
They have accordingly been brought to trial, and
two of them, a carpenter and another mechanic, have
received sentence of death. They were all of the
meanest and most insignificant deecription.

We 'have been fiVoured with a Copy of the new
regulations side by the. Supreme Director of Buenos ,
Ayres, PUILYRRIDON fur irming privateers, this being
the same document td 'which ilLtovri's Agent lately
referred. It states that the principal cubes which ,
have induced the Government of • Buenos 'Ayres to,
carry On reprisals against Spain, are chiefly founded
on the cruel and disolating manner in which she
agents of Wog Faunistittn matte the orders of tbee
Master, by reapeiliog
.none of those usages which
• ...
civil nations obsette inlioments •of warfire. Thess
regulations are ainsAlar to thole enacted by other na-
tions, in cases of. granting letters of marque, and
contain ill - the precautions necessary to prevent
Auks, and the violation of national honour.. Proper
securities are required, and an officer is to go on board
the privateer before she sails, to read to and deliver
to the crew a copy of the penal slats against piracy,
kc. The commander is also bound to read the same
to the ea every eight days. The 17th and 18th ar-
ticles then state that all Negroes capture! on board
Spanish vessels, are to be brought to Buenos Ayres,
and, if not disabled, to• serve in the armies for four
years, after which time they ate to be free. All Ns-
,groes who cannot be brought to Buenos Ayres
through blockades or Any other reasons, are to be
landed on ani of thilree palms of America, where
they are to enjoy their liberty.
