PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS.

HOUSE OF LORDS, JULY 7.
On the Scots Appeal of- Walker v. Cunninghame, their Lord-
ships judgment went to reverse. that'of the Court below.
• The Royal Assent,was declarednß-Commission to the Irish
Customs Duties, the Parish Vestries, the -Irish Grand Jury Pre-
sentments, the Passengers Regulathins, end a few other Bills.
• The Lords Commissioners weleeilsii Loan Cuaxastioa, the
Earl of Healowae, and the Earl .of Suereztatte.
The Irish Excise Licences, the Assessed Taxes Relief, the
Plate Glass, the Irish Permits, the Irish Bank Cash Payments,
the New South Weien Customs, else Charitable Funds, and one
or two Return ab, were brought up from the Commons by
Baoootat end others, and *ellen mentioned Bills were se-
verally read eh; first time. A
Lord- AUCKLAND havhsg moved the rejection of the !mei-
vest Debtors Bill, which, he observed, under the circumstanses,
Was In his opinion the moat eligible course to pursue,
Lord REDESDA LE made some observations on the occa-
sloe. expressive rs the opinions advanced by him on the subject
both of the existing Act and the measure in question on former
discussions, and in justification ble the line of conduct pursued by
himself in relation to the subittt.
The LORD CHANCELLOR observed that if the Act re-
specting Insolvent Debtors and the Bill in question were looked
at, it would be seen they went little more or less than to esta-
blish two systems Bankrupt Laws. The administration of
justice should proceed upon clear and distinct principles, but let
not one half of his Majesty's subjects be subject to one system of
Bankrupt Laws and the other, half to another system.
Lord AUCKLAND dieclairned the slightest intention what-
ever, in any thing that fell from him, of impugning the opposi-
tion made by the Noble and Learned Lord to the Bin In mice
tion. What occerred respell,* it, he thought a serious cala-
mity, as the measure, in his Mfild, went to abridge the impri-
senment of the debtor, and afforded at the same time the best
oseans for the securitt of the debtor.
The question was put, and the Bill rejected accordingly.
The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that being unable
to attend to-morrow forenoon in sufficient time, he should pro-
pose that the Order for resuming the% consideration of the Queens-
berry Causes to-morrow, should be postponed tilt Friday, when
they should be brought on precisely at ten o'clock.—Ordered.
Lord AUCKLAND presented a Petition from the Magis-
trates and Town Council of the Royal Burgh of Inverness,
against any ref eon in the Royal Burghs.
On the occasion of tic first reading of the Irish Bank Cash
Payments' Bill, a short conversation took place between the
N.rquis of LANSDOWNIE and the Earl of LIVLIiPOOL on the sub-
jecte in which the first mentioned Peer offered no serious objec-
tion to what the Bill proposed, but stated his opinion that cer-
tain provisions of the Bill were unnecessary, as, according to his
best information on the subject, the Bank of Ireland was not
placed under the necessity of making any purchase of gold what-
ever against the stated period.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL coincided with the Noble Mar-
quis in a great degree. Ile noticed that 'an intention had pre-
vailed of putting the Bank of Ireland on the footing of the
Country Barks in this part of the United Kingdom, with re-
spect to Cash Payments, but a prejudice seemed to prevail esainst
it at the time.
• , After a few words floim the Earl of LI 3IERI Cii, the Bili
was read the first time.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL moved the second reading of the
Irish Still Fines' Bill, and observed, that a Nobie Lord who was
desirous of making surne obsrrvatlons on the subject, authorised
him (Lord Liverpool) to say, that he bad no objection to the
second reading of the BIN as the discussion may be taken on the
next stage of the Bill te-morrow.—The Bill was then read the
second time. •
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE gave notice of his intention,
on Friday next, to move an Address to his Royal Highness than
Prince Regent. upon the inbiect of the African Slave Trade,
and recommending tlul opening a negotiation with the Govern-
ments of France alai the United States, with the view of effect-
ing its final abolition.
• The Noble Marquis then moved, that Messages be sent to
the Commons requesting Copies of the Reports of their Select
Committees, on the subjects of the Puor's Laws, and of the
Penal Code.—Ordered.
After some observations from the Marquis of Lerasower and
Lotd Dvsmvoa, the third reading of the Fisheries Preservation
• Bill was deferred till this day three months.
• The Appropriation 13111, the East India Goods, the Counter-
vailing Duties, the Exchequer Bills,- the Welch Game, Irish
Treasury Bills, Navy Agents, the Cargoes' Reports, and the
Milliasik Penitentiary Bills, passed through Committees of the
Whole House, and were reported.
On the question for the second reading of the Scots Churches
Bill, some conversation on the subject took place between the
.Sari of Lauoratnaix, ciscount let.vit.t.z, and the Earl of
113661,VN, in the course of which the Noble Earls made a variety
of objeetions to the Bill in its present shape, and thought it
weuld be preferableto postpone the consideration of the measure
until the next Session.—The Bill was read the second time, and
committed for toot-toe: ow.
• The Earl of ft A ItN A avow, pursuant to his notice, rose to
call their Lordships attention to the gross prevarications and
contradictions of three of the witnesses who were examined on
the subject of the Barnstaple Election at their Lordships Bar ;
and also to the centratlictions of that evidence which they bad
stated before a Select Committee of the other House of Parlia-
ment. The propriety of their Lordships marking their strong
sense of such conduct was too obvious to be &welt upon. He
should therefore move a Resolution to that effect, and of their
Lordshipe.determinetion to address the Prince Regent upon the
occasion. And, founded upon such Resolution, he should move,
s. An Address to his Royal Highness the I..ince hegent, pray-
ing that he would be pleased to direct the Attorney -General to
institute such proceedings against Robert Neale, Saenuel Harris,
and Robert Edwards, for the evidence given by them before a
Select Committee of the House of Commons, and subsequently
at the liar of the House of Lords, on the question for the second
reading of the Bill to prevent Bribery and Corruption at Elec-
tions fur the Borough of Barnstaple, as may be deemed advis-
able in the case."—'llte Noble Earl having regularly moved
these, It was forthwith ordered accordingly.
The Earl of CA RNA it VON then, atter noticing the imprac-
ticability of their effectually proceeding, in what remained of the
Session, with any further evidence respecting the measure,
Moved—That the further proceedings respecting the Barnstaple
Election Bill be adjourned to that day vreek.—Ordered.
. The LORD CHA e:CELI,OIt adverted to the Petition he
bad the honour to present yesterday from an individual now int
ludia, praying rvlitf, on :meg= of the peculiarly disadvantage:
cats circutfistances with-respect to the mode of his proceediug
for a Bill of Divorce in their Lordships' I louse, and moved, as
the most. dvisable way, that the Petition be referred to a C
mittee, to consider of what proceedings it might be proper
adopt in such a case, which was ordered accordingly. •
Mr. ABllltel4olllelt brought up from the Commons a Bill nth
continue in force the present Insolvent Debtors' Act until Outgo
menthe after the opening of the next Session of Parliament.
The Dill was read the first, and ordered obi read alit-mewl
tint! co-morrow.—Adjourned.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.

•- - -
At three o'clock, the Speaker having taken the Chair, the
Moue vrassummoned to the IlOtne of Peers to hear the Royal
.Aisent given by commission to several Bills, (for which see tit.
Leeds.)
The House having eeturned,tie Pauper Lunatic Bill was read
third time and passed on the motion of Mr. Homer:
Lord A. HAMILTON gave notice of his Intention to pro-
poie nest Monday an Address to the Prince Regent, praying
his Royal Highness to order some remuneration to be made to
the persons who had colleccdd Information on the subject of
Scotch Burghs.
The CHANCELLOR of eke EXCHEQUER stated thathe
Intended to move the usual S*ional Grants next Monday, in
which the object of the Noble Lord would be comprised.
Sir J. M ACINTOSH presented Petitions from Inverness and
Musselburgh, praying for a Reform in the Constitution of Scotch
Ibirghs.—Laid on the table and ordered to be printed.
Mr. JAM NETT presented a Petition from Captain Drake,
Commander of a Transport conveying convicts from Ireland to
Botany Bay. The Petition stared, that during the voyage the
convicts having made an attempt to seize the ship, had been re-
incised by the exertions of the Petitioner and his crew. That,
notwithstanding, on his arrival., Goternor• Macquarrie had lis-
tened to the report of the-Petitioner's enemies, and sent him
borne to be tried. That on his return to England he had been
kept six mouths in prison for want of bail, and that when the
trial had come on, the Judge and Jury had been so convinced
a his innocence, that a verdict of acquittal was immidiately
given in hie favour.' He therefore prayed for such redress as it
was in till power of the Mose to afford.

Mr. GOULBURN °Waited tintit-bad not remained with I
Governor Macquarrie to decide on the guilt.i* innocence of Mr.
Drake, but only wliether there wma suffic.lentliegree of e►idence

PUBLIC 111tVgNUS.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose to move
for an Account of the net produce of the Public Revenue for the
years ending on the 3th of July, 1817, 1818, and 1819. He
stated a mast gratifying progress had takFn place in the It venue
since the first of those years. The total produce of the quarter
ending on the sth of July, 1817. exclusive of arrears, had been
1611,060,000; that of the corresponding quarter, in 1818,
614,181,000; an increase of X 1,121,000 oast the preceding
yepr; and that of the'same quarter in 1819,719,605.093, being
an augmentation of £4211,893 over the pruduce of 1818. and of
61,363,893 over that of 1817. This improvement was not eon-
'fired to particular quarters, as the following comparative view
of the total amount of the Revenue, exclusive of arrears in each
# those years, ending on the sth of July, would spew ;
•In 1817 it amounted to - .11143,760,000
In 1818 to - - - - —48,06,560
In 1819 .' • - . lir,0711118;

W 2,265,7163 over` the produce of: 1818, and of £5,111,9133i aWer'
that of 1817. Tht- House must keep in mind, that 4nalsgitiat

period there had been no imposition of new taxes. 7 ,
The mnEon having been agreed to, .)
Mr. LUSHINGTON presented the said Acentints, *Wals,.
were laid upon the table,. and ordered to be printed.
CAMELFORD ELECTION.
Mr. D. W. HARVEY, on account of the lateness
of the Session, and the impossibility of going in 'a
satisfactory manner through the important inquiry
which had been commenced, should propose a Re-
soluticn, tending to postpone all further discussion
on the subject to the next Session. Should this be
agreed to, he should then move that no Writ be is-
sued for the Borough of Camelford till ten days af-
ter the meeting cf Parliament, and that the Order of
the Day for going into a Committee be discharged.
He then moved the following Resolution :
0 That the House having for some time been. engaged in an
inquiry into the corrupt practices reported by the Committee
appointed to examine the Petitions of certain Electors, to have
prevailed in the Borough of Camelford, and finding that the in-
terval before the end of the Session was not sufficient for com-
pleting such an inquiry, resolve that the House shall adjourn
the said incpiry to an early period after the next meeting of
Parliament."
Mr. PRIMROSE opposed the postponement of the
question, alld wished the Report to be taken into
consideration now, the part relative to Mr. Stewart
to be expunged, and.orders given to prosocnte the
conspirators, with the exception of William Hallett.
He concluded by moving as an Amendment," That
the Report be now taken into consideration."
Mr. TREMAYNE thought all the facts of the
conspiracy completely proved. The only question
wasp whether the House should proceed with the
examination now, qr should postpone it to the neat
Session ? He was. of opinion that it would be proper
to examine James 'Harvey now.
-After a sew observations from I.ord Eastworow,
Lord NORMANDY, Mr. 11. Gummi, and Lord GAG-
TLEREAGII, the Antendrnent was negatived, and the
oi4rial Motion agreed to.
Mr. D. W. HARVEY then moved, a that Mr.
Speaker do not issue his warrant for the Borough of
Camelford till ten days after the next meeting of Par-
liament."—Agreed to.
The Order of the Day for going into a Committee
on the Camelford Election, was then discharged.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS.

Mr. ABERCROMBIE moved for leave to bring
in a Bill to continue tor three months after. the be-
ginning. of the next Session the present Insolvent
Debtors Act. After what he had stated last night,
he trusted there would he no objection to his motion,
especially as the Bill which he proposed to bring in.
would only last till Parliament should have had time
to pass a measure calculate to settle in a definitive
manner the state of the Laws between De:.itnr and.
Creditor. He also proposed, on account of the late
period of the Session, that the Bill thould be allowed
to pass through all its stages this night.
Sir WILLIAM CURTIS opposed the motion, and
expressed his wish that the existing Law might die a
natural death.
Mn Alderman WAITHMAN contended that the.
Honourable and Learne.l Gentleman acted on a most
erroneous impression. Instead of crowding pri,ons,
the absence of all Insolvent Debtors' Acts would
cause them to be emptied; for he contended that
most of the Debtors had the means of liberating
themselves, if they had no hope of being freed by anl
Act. He thought it would be very proper to allow
six months to elapse without passing any Act, as the
House would afterwards he more able to form
right judgment, and to enact a proper measure on
the subject. He trusted the House would not hesi-
tate one moment in rejecting. this proposition.
Lord CASTLE4EA,GH was persuaded that the
feeling of the House was adverse to 'a return to the
old Law ; whiCh must nevertheless take place if the
Acts which the proposed Bill went to continue were
permitted to expire. He trusted it would not be
cult in the next Session to frame such a measure
might on all hands be considered More unexception-
4bre than any which had yet been produced. }Di
;dust therefore support the Honourable and Learned
Gentleman's motion.
Mr. CALCRAFT conceived that the reason why
,Bills of this importance were rejected by the other
Mouse was, that they were sent up to it at a period
when there was no time to give them due codidera-
don. Parliameht must be prorogued on, the•lsth of
July, instead of the Ist of August, for no reason that
he could see; and the consequence was, that the Le-
gislature could not have the entire exercise of its
functions. In an emergency like the present, rather
than return to the principle of the old Law he should
support the motion of his Hon. and Learned Friend,
but he did it with regret.
Mr. G. LA MB thought it would be giving a very
strange answer to the Petitions sent from so many
parts of the country against the last Act, to revive it
without any alteration. He should certainly oppose
the motion of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman.
Mr. Serjeant ONSLOW proposed that the Honour-
able and Learned Gentleman should be allowed to
bring.in his Bill. It might then be read a first and
second time, and the committal fized.for to-morrow.
He did not see the necessity of hurrying the stages of
this measure in the mariner suggested ; neither did he
know of any reason why the House should adjourn
before Parliament should be prorogued. If the pre-
sent Act was one of Revenue, would any adjourn-
menz be proposed? Why then should it be done

when the House was kaown to be legislating against
the sensedind the Petitions of the People? lie should
be sorry to find himself placed in such a situation ;
but if Obliged to divide on the question, he should
rather vote for a return to the old Law, than fo‘the
ooistiouatiOn of a Bill so fatal as that which was at

present in operation.
Mr. BATIWILST thought the last Speaker had
not taken a icorrect view of the question. If the
Amendments were taken into consideration, and any
material alteration made in them, the Lords would

.....
require further tirpe to consider these new Amend-
rnents, and thus 'ley might continue to alter and
alter for an indefinite period. At this period of the,
year, when the most important public business had
been gone through, it was inconvenient to protract
the sittings of the House, as it was not merely Minis-
ters, but Gentlemen of all parties in the House consi-
dered themselves discharged from attendance.
Lord EBItINGTON rose to oppose the intended
and hoped the House, after the numerous Peti-
tions which had been laid before them, would not

subject dye country to a continuatiota of a Law which
had been tit stigmatized by that How as the present
.

Insolvent DebtLrs Act. -
. Mr. W. COURTENEX did not thinkffie House
ygnad do its duty to the Pen* if it consented to the
-renewal of the present In !vent Debtors' Ast, even
'fora limited time.
Sir d. MACKISTOSH remarked, a. WortbpAl-
derMan had made tig.aUusion to what he had. si
on attormer occasion of the liberality of the traders
of Londen, and argued that if this were not A vain
compliment, it would be'imputed to them that they
had stiewnfthemselves deficient in feeling in the
course they bad taken, with respect to the Insolvent
Debtors' Act. He regretted the absence of the
‘Vorthy Alderman'on the preceding evening, when,
had he been present; he 'would have been satisfied_
that want of feeling and liberality were the last qua-
lities he should be disposed to impute to the mer-
chants of`London. He had thought the Bill which
had passed through that House effected, upon the
whole, the best compromise that could be made be-
tween the Creditor and Debtor. Why it was rejected

by the other House he knew not. It was said fry the
opponents of the present- measure, that it would be
disagree.tble to concur in opposition to the numerous
Petffioners who had prayed that the Insolvent Debtors'
Act should not be renrived. But he would remark,
the people did not expect a slavish obedience to the
very letter of their Petitions. but a general attention
to their spirit ; and in conformity with that spit it
they might vote for bringing in the Bill which his
Honourable and Learned Friend wishedio introduce,
seeing its real object was to give the Legislature a
chance of accomplishing that which the Petitioners
desired, at the commencement of the next Session of
Parliament, by a general and permanent measure.—
By coming to such a decision, they would mark
their disapprobation of Lord Redesdale's Bill. At
the same time they would prove their attachment to
the principle of Casio, Theorem; and if this were
given up, to return to the old law, it might impose
upon them a long struggle to recover that which they
had already gamed. He also thought, that as a hope
had been held out by the proceedings of that House
to many in confinement, that they might be dis-
charged in the present year, the faith of Parliament
was in a manner pledged to those unfortunate per-
sons, Knd it would be cruel to doom them to remain
in 'prison' till' another Session of Parliament. His
Honourable Friend had assumed that the majority
of debtors had got into prison for the purpose of
cheating their creditors. If this were proved to be
the fact, then the argument of the Honourable Gen-
tleman would be corrcct; but he apprehended no
other man in the House relieved this to be the fact.
The Honourable Gentleman complained that all cre-
ditors were indiscriminately accused of cruelty.—
This was folly, and as unjuit as to accuse all debtors
of fraud. Cruelty on the one hand, and fraud on
the other, were extreme eases. He wished for the
establishment of a system %which should look less to
the person, and more to the property of the debtor.
Sir R. WILSON concurred with those who thought
a provisional Bill necessary.
Alderman WOOD was still of opinion, that the
House would be taken by surprise should the Bill
pass through all•the stages in the course of one sk-
iing. He had prepared certain clauses to do away
the objectionable parts of the Bill, and hoped to be
allovied to move them in the Committee. A person,
calling himself an Army sttgent, and residing in
Fludyer-streq„ had received £9OO to purchase for a
young Gentleman a commission in the Army. After
sometime, it was discovered, that the individual was
nominally in the Rules of the King's Bench, but was
really going about where he pleased, and that no de-
tainer would be tikes against him. No instances of
cruelty on the pan of the Creditors had been proved
in thp Committee.
Sir J. GBAHAM was strongly against the till,
after the Petitions that had been presented from all
parts of the Kingdom. ' . •
The House divided--,For the motion (that a Bill be'
brought in), 80—Against it, 26—Majority, 54.
The Bill was then read 'a first and second time,
and on the question for the committal,
Alderman WAITHMAN complained, that no-
thing had been done for the Creditor. An individual
at that time was living in the Rules of the King's
Bench, in a style of Asiatic luxury, and keeping no
fewer than six servants. One of this person's credi-
tors was a widow, whom he had taken in for £9OO,
and he had had the effrontery to threaten her that if
he were not raised to the Peerage, he would get into
the House of Commons and set his creditors at de-
fiance. This Bill was to enable such persons to con-
tinue their career. If the administration of the law,
'with respect to Insolvent Debtors, were to continuo
in the same hands to which it had of late been con-
fided, he believed—but he would not pledge himself
'to it—that he should feel it to be his duty to submit
a motion to the House for instructing, or rather direct-
ing, the Attorney-General to prosecute the party.
After a few remarks from Mr. G. Lama, Mr. ON
SLOW, and Sir J. GRAHAM,
Lord CASTLEREAGH observed, that the pre-
sent Bill gave no sanction to the old Act, and implied
no approbation of that measure on the part of the
House. It was in fact intended to be got rid of as
soon as possible.
The House then went into a Committee on the
Bill. The House having resumed, the, Report was
received, and the Bill ordered to 'be read a tlikd
time that day, if engrossed.

Mr. WILLIAMS begged to protest against this
mode of hurrying business through the Hoare,
A Message from the Lords announced their Lord-
ships' Assent to the Irish Malt Duty, the
vate Property, the Militia Pay, (without any Arnr.r,,!.

. .
ment), and to the Churches Act Amendment B'
(with an Amendment), to which they desired

concurrence of that House.

On the motion of Lord CASTLEREAOH, the Amead•
!milt of the Lords was agreed to.
Upon the question that the Bill be read a third time,
Alderman WAITIIMAN and Sir J.
peated their objection to the BM, which was re4d a
third time, and passed.

SLAVE :TRADE.
. Mr. WILBERFORCE rose to move an Add,N,,
that the efforts of Ministers should be employe; ;o

engage Forevr-Powers *.ho have enacted lawN
the Abolition of the Slave Trade, to adopt a

effectual application of those laws. He went thret,.,

fixed a time for the Abolition of this traffic on

part. He was afraid, however, that there were pl.
sons of all countries engaged in this traffic. C;Jar
pily too, there were two great-Powers who had
entered into the common convention for the Atui:i •
of the Slave Trade, viz. France and America.

were parts of Africa, which began now to feel
benefits of freedom and education. He then moved

Address to the Regent, acknowledging with gratin
the effort's he had made, by which the great Powers

Europe had acknowledged the injustice of this trail
but humbly requesting him to use his endeavonr
prevail upon Fiance, Portugal, and America, to
a speedy end to it on their parts, and to enter i:
conventional arrangements, to allow the condemn.:
tion of vessels engaged in he Slave Trade.
• Sir JAM ES MACKINTOSH seconded the no-
tion. The object needed no recommendation, and if
it needed any, none could be more appmpliate 'r
more poweiful than his Hononrabk Friend's. It %v.'s
impossible to speak of the conduct of FortugPl wit 4
truth and decorum—(hear). When we viewed th.lt
Power standing in the solitude of inhumanity
infamy—when we viewed it refusing to join wi:h
other nations to abolish the most nefarious of traJes,

it was impossible to speak of its policy in terms tit to
be applied to a nation in alliance with us. - With re-
spect to the United States he felt great confidence in
their determination to put a final end to the trade.
It was remarkable that they and we, without any
concert, had, within the space of twelve months, de-
clared the traffic illegal. lie could not but think that
it would be remarked by future historians, that two
nations of the same race, separated by a civil war,
but possessing common blood, language, and liberty,
were the first to put an end to the traffic in fellow men.
Here he could not help once again alluding to South
America, and lamenting that we should have passed
any law unfavourable to her rising liberty and glory.
He could not help remarking how. much credit re-
dounded to her, a country abounding in slaveholders,
that the act abolishing the trade, was the first act ef
her independent existence. It was impossible to b
guise that fort St. Louis, on the river Senegal, cc-,
tained nothing but.slave-traders. It was certain that
the Officers in authority and trust were not an excep-
tion to this statement. What -countenance they of-
tained at home he:knew not, bat the reputation of the
nation suffered by. allowi4 a tilde disgraceful tote
French name. He rejoiced, in common with-all wl,o
regarded the best hopes of mankind and the future
peace of the world, to see the solid foundations ca
which liberty was established in France. The esta-
blishment of a free Government in that country was
the best foundation for the future hopes of mankind,
and the best security against the convulsions of futute
Revolutions. It was impossible to see, v. ithout heart-
felt satisfaction and joy, the general tranquillity
which followed the evacuation of France by foreign
troops, the spirit and order which prevailed in the Le-
gislative Assemblies, the regard and obedience to
the law, and the decorum which appeared in the
publications of the press—(Cries of Hear, hear, hear.)
He could not view these happy results without ex-
pressing his hope that all the sacrifices of the Reso-
lution would soon be .amply repaid ; for repaid they
would assuredly be. He was persuaded that the fiee
French nation would soon retrieve its character, and
could not continue to allow such a blot upon its name:
he was persuaded that the French nation would mt
suffer its flag-a flag that had been long unknown
on those coasts, and had lately re-appeared there—
to conceal the foulest and most atrocious traffic that
ever stained the annals of a nation ; he was persuade)
that the French nation would not suffer their proud
flag to protect robbery, and murder, and desolation,
and to be the signal around which a banditti (he
could give them no other name) should rally, for the
atrocious purpose of renewing that state of guilt and
misery to which Africa had been so long exposed.
Lord CASTLEREAGII would not oppose the
Address ; though he could assure the House it was
not necessary to spur the Prince Regent, or his Go-
vernment, on to accomplish the total abolition a
this traffic. With respect to Portugal, the perioct
had not yet arrived when she had engaged to put
rn
end to it on her part ; indeed no answer had yet bed)
received from her on this subject. He hoped no fl
applied national pride would interfere on the part cf
France, to prevent the right of search of vessels or.
der her flag. As to America, he believod her Gtr
vernment sincere in her endeavours at a total algal.
tion.—The Address was then agreed to.

11111CILLANZOUS.
On the motion of Lord C.ISTLIiREAGH, the House ct its
rising was ordered to adjoian till Monday next.
Sir J. IsIACKINTOSII presented a petition from ell:A
11. Walker, complaining of injuries done him by the Porn.ki,:.

account given of the details of this extra-

:ortu nate city of Parga has at length yielded

cf the Porte. All the inhabitants, men,
lid children, to the number of between two

and wandering into the lonian Isles, irn-
w country. The sums which the Porte had
Visir to indemnify the inhabitants for the
movealie and immoveable, which they
tndun, have not been paid over to them by
as avaricious as he is cruel. This city,
very strong, was the last possessiontof the
Powers on the Continent of Greece. By
of 1800 this city was placed under the
;tection of Russia and the Porte, as well as
Isles. In several other posterior Treaties
to the Porte, but these Treaties remained
xi. When in 1815, a new Convention, cod-

Paris on the sth of November, put the
lands under the protection of England, the

Parga were delivered up. England en.
1 for a long time, but without success, to
cession, by the large sums which it de-
way of indemnification for the property
tbabitanu of Parga. They were little ac.
with the ambitious character of Ali Vicar,
not a man to stick at any promise to disens•
imself of the presence of the European

id June. The report that Don Onis, the late
to the United States, was to be called to fill
of M. Casa Irujo, received daily confirms•
le brigantine Volontaire arrived at Cadiz on
from Vera Cruz and the Havannah, with
tad public intelligence from all parts of

spired. The day before the arrival of the

to sheer off, leaving the Volontaire to get

tches of great importance have arrived hers
Several couriers were immediately dis-

patched, after their arrival, but k has not transpirei
what the objects are to which these d'spatches relate.

BERLIN, JUNE 5.

The King is now perfectly recovered, and his
mud has not left the smallest mark.
ST. PETERSBURGH, JUNE it

The dispatch of couriers for Paris isinore frequent
than ever ; three have set out within this week. Ge-
neral Hulot has arrived; he travels quite at his ease,
and does not appear charged with any political business•

The personal wish of the Emperor to reunite to
the Kingdom of Poland 'all the ancient Polish Pro-1
vinces subjected to the Russian sceptre, encounters
great opposition among the Russian Senators and
Ministers. It is even said that the two Courts of
Vienna and Berlin have made representations against
this project, the execution of which could not fail to
excite in the inhabitants of Galicia and the Grand!
Duchy of Posen, a lively and just desire of being,
reunited to their ancient country.
lIERREWADSKLOSTF,R (SCANIA), JUNE 20,

There was yesterday a grand mock combat; his,
Royal Highnees the Prince Royal, commanded one
corps, and General Bicernstierna that of the enemy.

The Generals and Colonels of the troops who arel
now assembled in the Plaia of Bonash, have re-
quested the King's presence at a banquet which they
.are to give his Miiesty to-night in the camp.
