ing, or from mere motives of vanity. No others, he
believed, felt any discontent from the measure.
Mr. LITTLETON said he approved of the measure
of reducing these corps. He could not see upon what
ground they had been kept together so long. In 1817,
he proposed their reduction in the Finance Committee.
The corps with which lie was connected was not included
in the measure of the lac Government, and that circum-
stance was a proof to hiM of the excellence of the prin-
ciples on which they acted.
Sir R. HERON regretted that the Yeomanry corps
were not totally abolished. It; firm of peace they were
utterly useless, and in the event of internal commotion
no worse species of force could be employed. Regular
troops sere far better, and acted more impartially.
Lord PALMERSTON begged to remind the House
that this point was not immediately' connected with the
subject before them. He was prepared to take upon
himself the fullest share of responsibility for having
concurred in the measure, and should be prepared to
defend it at any time. It produced a saving of 86,0001.
a year without any reduction of effective force.
Lord MORPETH defended the measure of reducing
the Yeomanry, aid the conduct of the late Government.
That Government had excited the vituperation of the
ignorant, but had secured to themselves the admiration
of posterity.
Mr. Secretary PEEL said, he was not insensible
to the merits and the important services rendeted
to the country by the Yeomanry. In that House,
whenever the subject was introduced, justice had been
always done to their readiness and zeal in coming
forward. There was at all times a unanimous dis-
position to do justice to their merits. When they saw
so many corps offering their seivices without any
pay or remuneration whatever, the conclusion must be
that they are actuated still by the same spirit, and
were ready to come forward if the necessities of the
:alike should require it. He rose principally in conse
Silence of an observation which bad fallen from the
on. Gentleman opposite (Mr. S. Rice). He said, the
late Government did not wish to have it supposed that
they were disposed to act on a principle of force.—
Though the Yeomanry Corps were still retained in the
manufacturing districts, he trusted it would not for a
moment be thought that the present Government was
disposed, any more than the last, to act on a principle
of force. He believed the Hon. !Umber meant no such
insinuation, and that the expression bad oily escaped
him hastily.
The Resolution being put, an the number of men to be voted
for the year 1828, namely, 31,075,
Mr. Alderman WALTHMAN proposed that the
words 80,000 should be inserted.
Mr. N. CALVERT did not see how the force could
be reduced unless a change of circumstances took place.
While the present system of policy was pursued with
regard to Ireland, they c said not reduce the number of
troops there, they must first endeavour to tranquillize
the country.
Lord ALTHORP said, as the Honourable Alderman
had stated no reason for the amendment, be could not
support it. The House must recollect that the vote
was proposed only for six months. Some certain
number of men must be stated in the present stage of
the proceedings, but he should not pledge himself to
that number or any other number. He trustei the
Committee would be of opinion that it might be
reduced. Consideting the present state of their foreign
relations, it did not appear to him that the Government
asked for too much--(Hear.) It the worthy Alderman
pressed the amendment he should feel himself obliged
to oppose it.
Mr. Alderman WAITHIsIAN thought the House
should do their duty towards the public, and oppose
every extrdvagance, without waiting for the decisions
of any Committee.
Mr. SYKES thought a smaller force would be sof&
event. That now proposed was a twee quite unknown to
the country in time of peace.
Lard PALMERSTON said the vote was limited to
six mouths. He should not now go into the discussion,
for the same rearms which he had stated upon a former
occasion. it was necessary that some period and sonic
number should be fixed to lay a foundation for the
Mutiny Bill.
Sit J. YORKEthoeght the present was as proper a
time for the discussi, n as any other. He greatly feared the
Session would be nearly finished before they had any
report from the Finance Committee. This was not the
time to lop tiff much of the force. If there was any
confidence to be placed is a document which appeared
that day, the Turks seemed determined to take the field
with energy. They seemed to think that the European
• powers were determined toovertutn their religion, and
that their empire was to pass to another na:ion. This they
were resolved to oppose. Un!er such cireu-nstances,
it would nut be very advisable to reduce their ft rte,
either by sea or land, as it might become necessary to
employ it. he would not say against whom. It was not,
however, quite impossible that the Gallant Admi. al
who bad lately beaten the Tusks at Naval in, might be
called upon to turn his attention to another quarter.
Sir M. W.*R-IDLEY said he Niched to guard the
House and the country against the fallacy of supposing
that the Finance Committee could decide upon the nu-
merical force of the Asmy or Navy. It must be recol-
lected that the latgest lartof their expenditure was oc-
casioned by the interest of the peblic debt. Until means
were found tar reducing the debt, it was impossible
that the expectation ofttte public on the subject of es.
Fenditure could be re :lineal.
Mr. WAS. and Sir J. Tow mutually explained.
Mr. HUME said the Government seemed determined to upheld
*Large force at any rate. Though the measure hitherto pursued
with respect to Ireland might rendes it necessary to keep up a large
force for the purpose of coercing the peopk, he thought 27,900 or
50,000 men more than suScient for that purpose.
Mr. CALM? explained.
The Amendment was negatived without a division, and the °rig'.
• nal Resolution agreed to.
The oflorr Resolutions eonnected with the Army and Ordnance
Estimates were then agreed to, and a 13111 ordered accordingly.

RA ST R STTO RD.
Mr. TENNYSON moved the Order of the Day for
the second reading of the East Retford Disfranchise.'
meat Sill. It was riot his intention at that hoer of the
night to tiesspass long on the attention of the House.—
Ile should merely state the course he proposed to pur-
sue. The Hon. Member then read a part of the Re-
port of the Sehct Committee, statiog that it was the
notorious and general practice for the electors of East
Retford to receive, at former elections, a sum of twenty,
guineas each from the successful candidate, but that at
the lan election, though it was espected by them, there
was no proof that it had been received. The last elec-
tion. however, was disgraced by treating, by riots,
and disorder of every kind. If the Blf were al;
lowed to be read a second time, he should feel it
his duty to move, that witnesses be examiumf at the bar,
for the putpose of proving the practic which prevailed
in the bor9ugh. The House thin might deal with it as
they pleutd, either by disfranchising the borough, and
transtersin tn franchise elsewhere, or might r, gulate
it in any way they pleased. He understood the objection
to be taken isroue was, that bribery did not take place
at the last, but 'as former elections, and this objection

Yesterday his Excellency the Right Hon. Sr RA rim)
CANNING. Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipoten-
tiary to the Ottoman Pork, arrived at Dover. Imml-
dftely on the di►embarkation of the carriage, &c. his
Excellency left Dover fur London, where he arrived
in the evening, and this morning transacted
with the Duke cf WELLINGTON and Earl DUDLEY.

The Marquis of Czarism Anus again brought for-
ward in the House of Lordi last night the painfully delicate subject
of the exp►essions privately uttered by Mr. /insertion some months
since, in regard to his then deviated deterttnatitm toner to act with
thaw who had opposed his deceased friend, Dlr. CANIIIIIO. Earl
Miner, who was particularly called upon by the Noble Marquis
on this occcasion, met th. subject in a manner alike creditable to Ms

sentiments as a volftician„ and honourable to his feelings as a man.
Lord SZAPORD professed himself unable to reeolleet the exact Et-
pressions used by Mr. Mansion.- " For the sake, however:,
said his Lordship, " not only of tire charaetel• of this Muse, but
of the character of all public men, I most earnestly hope that these
discussions may be henceforth disoontinued"—On the motion of
Lord Wumuscurrs, Mr. 1411111 T litrler is to be ordered to attend
and give evidence on the Game Laws Committee.
Io the House of Commons, among a great variety of othei
business, the required Navy Estimates were voted; and the Report

The Paris Papers of Saturday and the Gazette de
France of the 25th inst. which were received yesterday
afternoon, contain no further intelligence from Turkey :
the former are chiefly filled with discussions on domes-

than repetitions of what has already appeared relative
to the affairs of the East.

Prince MyrrenNlCH is repo: ted to have sent numerous
cow iers to Constantinople since the appearance of the

but the Divan continued steady in its determination
for war.

We have received this ii.renoon German and Brussels
Papers to a late date : their contents are without in-
terest. The Algemeine Zeitung of the 18th and 19th

Jan. the Mar.ife,to of the Ottoman Porte of the 18th
Dec. a copy of which we gave yesterday.

By the Osborne Packet from South America, we
have rectived Buenos Ayres Papers to the 4th, and
the Diario 17sninenre to the 25. h of Dec. The
following are extracts:—
RIO DE JANEIRO.
PROM TUC bIAuo ILUNDIEKSI, DEC. 13.
By a law passed in the General Assembly and
sanctioned by the Emperor, all articles of the produce
or manufacture of Asia, inivrted by foreigners, or in
foreign vessels, shall he received in the custom houses
of the Empire. All such productions and manufactures
shall pay an import duty of 15 per cent. by whatever
foreigners they may be imported. All laws, and
decrees, and ordinances, to the contrary are revoked.

DEC. 22-24.—These two Nos. contain three Bulletins
respecting the health of her Idajebty the Queen of Por-
tugal, from which it appears, that in the month of
Novembershe had an attack of billion; fewer, which,
however, yiebied to the nsechtioe in a few days. She
however continued to Suffer pain in the left leg, which
bad beep nearly removed, when she was again attacked
by it with much severity.

Dec. 25.—The three Bulletins recite the remedies
applied, and the last of them states, that the pain was
much diminished, and her Maj sty better.
The Diario Madame from 7th to 24th December,
contains many of the speeches delivered in the last Ses-
sion of the General Assembly. but has no news relative
to the war or negotiations with Buenos Ayres.

BUENOS AYRES.
PROM THE COIRIIIIO POLITICO T sonreArric.
We have the following accounts from the Banda
Orientil:—The militia, to the number of above 100,
are assembled in different points ; besides which there
are many individuals who have obtained permission
to remain at home for some time, and will soon
pia it. The militia of some districts have not yet
been assembled, so that their number is not known.
We know also, that the desertion among the Germans
continues, and that by the account of the individuals
who have lately left Monte Video, it is there believed
for certain, that the Thetis frigate has been captured by
,the Loadings cot vette, and the Congress brigantine.
The gritat:r part of the arms, ammunition, and
clothing, is now on the way to the army, and
every exertion is making to collect carriages to for-
ward the remainder, which will be sent away
in a few days, both for the troops of the line
and the militia, as well as the lances and sabres for
the latter. Every thing is in motion to open the new
campaign as speedily as possible. Universal en.
thusiasm animates the worthy sons of the Banda
Oriental. The sister provinces, on their part, contribute
every thing in their power, and some even make efforts
beyond their strength. The military Governor is in
continual motion to promote this object, which demands
pecu:iar attention. The union of all these elements
assures us of the victory with as much probability as
human events are susceptible of.

Extract of a letter to one of the first Mercantile
Houses in the City, from Rio Janeiro, by the Br izil
Mail arrived this morning, of the 2-I,th December:

" Our accounts front Buenos Ayres are to the 4th inst. when
war was not likely to terminate soon ; and I fear that nothing but
British interference, such as with Turkey and Greece, will bring it
to a close. Here we remain quiet, and our new Minister of Finance
is liked. We hope- that some of the New plans may be carried
through. They are selling half the Custom Duties, with it) per
cent. advance, for three years. Exchange 32i."

At the Old Bailey Sessions this day, the trial of Wm.
Hewerd for the attempt at assassinating 111 r. WM. Malley, In Red

witnesses, the case for the prosecution was clearly proved, and the
Jury Nand the prisoner Guilty—heath.
Letters (rem St. Petersburgh of the 9th ult. state that
the Grand Duke CONSTANTIft had arrived very unexpectedly.
The nature of his visit was not known, although an idea was enter-
tained, that it was to consult with the EXPIROS on swatters of
serious importance, relative to the employment of the troops in
Poland.
We are happy to find that the Buildi4 Fund for the
CharinirCross Hospital is proceeding as satisfactorily
as the mends cf humanity could desire. This Charity
being intended to combine the advantages of a Dispen-

former capacity, at No. 28, Villiers-street, Charing.l
Cross, till means can be raised for effecting the opera. li
tions of the latter by_the erection of a new and capa-
cious establishment ; and that this object may be the
soot,er accomplished, Contributions to the Building
Fund entitle the Donors to ►he same extent of privileges
as if made to the Charity, and to the immediate enjoy.

charitable relief of the Institution will rapidly increase,l
