Lord LOWTHER rose, pursuant to notice, to pro-
pose that the list of committees on private bills should
Le Feinted. The Noble Lord complained that the prac-
tice heretofore resorted to, keeping the names of those
'Cho composed private committees secret. had given
.rins to the discreditable practice of producing undue
Majorities. He could see no good reason why the names
of public committees should be printed, and those for
private bills kept secret, except from the agents and so-
licitors for the bill.
Mr. LITTLETON begged leave to obsetwe, that it
never bad been the custom to print the names of Meat-
,. hers composing Private Bill Committees. The usual
practice was to apply at the office of the Committee
Clerk, when the names of the Committee could be had
on paying 6s. Bd. .He conceived that the order made
• that Session, with regard to Private Bulls, had already
been productive of good consequences ; for it had given
Members, when canvassed for their votes, an opportu-
nity of getting civilly rid of the applicants, by stating
that 'bey were not on the list of Members appointed for
• the Committee on that particular Bill. He should for
this, and other reasons, oppose the printing of the lists.
Sir EDMUND CARRINGTON. in answer to the
objection that was taken to the Noble Lord's motion,
diet it was a novelty, stated, that the present arrange-
Alikerof :the Comosiuee was itself a novelty ; and the
proposal of the Noble Lord had thirst least in common
with it, that if it Were a novelty it was also an ins.
provement..
Mr. Gordon, me Jebb, Mr. Home, and Mr. Batley, sappeilnd

Mr. LITTLETON. finding the sense of the House to
against him, withdrew his opposition, and the motioa
was agreed to.
SCARE TRADE IN THR MAURITIUS.
Mr. F. BUXTON seeing his Hon. Friend. the Colo-
sin' Secretary, in his place, would take the liberty of
asking him, whether Government intended to make any
farther communication to the House respecting the
Slave Trade in the Mauritius?
Mr. WILMOT-HORTON said, that if his Hoop
Friend were to propose this Session ill motion as unre.
stricted to time or to place as his motion was last year,
it would certainly be opposed by the Government,.
Beyond that, he could say nothing at presiiii, except
that whenever the Hon. Member should bring the sub-
ject forward, he would meet it with a full and fair die.
cession.

Mr. F. BUXTON then gave notice, that he would on
Tuesday, the 10th of April next, bring forward a dis-
tinet motion on the subject.

turns, relative to the number of ships employed in the
export and import trade to and from Great Britain, the
North American provinces, and the West Indies, during

Mr. HUME gave notice, that od Tuesday next he
would bring forward a motion to inquire into the state

We have received the Paris Papers of Monday and
Tuesday; but their contents are destitute of interest;

whilst, upon that single question of general interest—

the afsirs of the Peninsula—they throw no additional
, light: It is true the Dods states, after a Bourdeauz
Journal, that all the corps of the Spanish Army of Ob•
serration have removed to i greater distance from the
frontiers; and that the frequency of desertion, which
had previously arrived at such an alarming height, that
forty or fifty men fled daily into Portugal, has been the
sole cause of this retrograde movement. Whilst we
sincerely wish that this sway prove the true reason, we
have great difficulty in belietis% it; though we are
well. swam that oetliin would king titiC Spanish
Monarch so soon to hicsensess as to sot an •arttlir b 1 j
whose fidelity he hoped to triumpb, ovststist augers
sdish his beloved despotism I; mowed& prove

faithless to its charge. We think it more likely,
however, that it was not fear of bb Own troops so
• b, as of the eictoillms Portuguese Cbnstits;
tisoalists, and above ail of the Aida) story, which
induced him to ism* this sudden order. The PortugUese
troops now line the frontiers, and their recent triumphs,
as well as the emblems of liberty, which blaze in their
front, must strike an inexpressible tenor into the Spanish
apostolicali, and may well account for the confusion,
which is said to exist in their ranks. At the same time,
the advance of the British army must heighten their
anxiety; and we imagine we have here hit upon the
lige cause, not only of the retrograde movemeat, men•
tioned in the Etoile, but of:the more important fact we
announced on Tuesday last—the disarmament of the
Portoguse rebels. In the meantime the news from Ma-
drid in these papers is not so late by three days as the
intelligence fronfilismane capital, which we published
two days since; and the only circumstance of any in-
terest, which it states, is the arrival of the Marquis of
CRAWS/ at St. Jaques, its Gallicia, accompanied only
by a very small number of his guilty adherents.. It is
reported that Msolls3l was Bred at by one of his own
men in passing the frontiers, and severely wounded ac-
cording•to one account, whiht another Why mortally.
There is no other intelligence in these papers worth,
noticing.

Frankfort Journals to the 16th, the AlgtostiNeZeitirsig
to the same date, and Dutch Papers to the 17th inst.
reached' us this morning. The last merely contain
extracts from the Batavia Journal of the 4th November,
which mention some further particulars of the military
operations agdinst the native Princes, from which it
appears, that though the resistance of the Javanese in-
surgents still continued, the Netherlands troops and those
of their allies, had in every recent instance the advantage.
The insurgents, after having been driven from the dis-
trict of Gavok, rallied again not far from Socracarta,
and threatened that capital ► but the SULTAN marched
against them on the 19:h October, at the head of his own
troops, supported by a small Dutch detachment, and put
them to flight. As the mass of the insurgents still hovered
about the Klatan and Djoejecarta, Col. Cocntua, who,
had shortly before received a small reinforcement, pro-
ceeded from the former place to Delangoe, where he
was to be joined by Major Lama, whose division had
been also reinforced; and it is obvious from this move-
ment, as well as other circumstances, that the insurrec-
tion was not's° near its termination, as this -account•
would have us believe.

There is an article under the head of St. Petenburgb,
28th February, which mentions as a report, that several
state prisoners front the Kngdom of Poland bad been
lately conveyed to that capital. The Government had
not yet published.any official account of the secret ille-
gal associations, which were discovered in that king-
dom last year at the same time with those io Russia,
and the existence of which was shewn by the report of
the Commis►ioners, appointed by the Est/inon to con-
duct the proceedings against the Russian Conspirators.;
Thus, conspiracy or insurrection, is the order of the
day, where►er the character of the Gemernment is.;"op. •
posed to the spirit of the age ; and yet 'Fritices are
either so weak or so eieions, as to prefer to sit thus
continually upon a barrel of gunpowder, rather than
forego the miserable and dangerous right of governing
their subjects arbitrarily.

The Frankfort Papers contain a long extract froth
the Oriental Spectator of the 26th January, giving the
particulars of the destruction of some piratical boats
near the island of Ipsara, by the English corvette the
Rose. They also contain extracts from the Universal,
Gesdte of Greece, published at Napoli ; but the reports
of the military operations are not of so recent a date as
those which had reached us through other channels.-.-'
The Gazette of the 17th January, which is the latest,
mentions the arrival of Colonel BUIDASKI from France,
and says he had reached Salamis on his way to Elcusis
with 900 men. This will be an opportune succour to
the Greeks, in the present critical state of their affairs.
ft is surprising that no tidings of Lord Cocaina/Is have
been received, since he sailed from Marseilles.

This day, at twelve o'clock, a General Court of Di-
rectors, of the Governor and Company of the Bank of
England, was held at the Bank, at which a Dividend of
Four per Cent. was declared; after which some ques-
tions were pot to the CPIAIRIVAN--One of these was, 11
the Bank was going to lend money to Government?
The answer was evaded. Another, How many Bank-
notes were in circulation? Answer—Twenty-one-mil-
lions, being much the same amount atoll the last Court-
day. The Court hroke up in less than half an hour.
Letters from Vienna announce the curious fact, that
Father Jos's, Confessor to her Mrjesty the Empress
of AUSTRIA, has been arrested, and put into very strict
confinement. His papers are now under examination
by Commissioners appointed by the Emperor. This

.. _
event appears tl have caused great sensation in that
capital. The rains in the Low Countries have con-
siderably abated, and with them the apprehensions of
the people. The accounts from Batavia continue to be'
favourable for the Dutch.

Demerara Papers to the 6th February ha►e been re-
ceived at the North and South American Coffee-house.
Their contents are not of importance, being chiefly
employed in contemplating the probable effects which
would arise from the important demonstrations made
by the British Government in the affairs of Portugal.
Mr. PaTrseasW attended the Duke of Sussex yes-
terday at his apartments in the King's Palace, at Ken-
sington, and stated, that is His Royal Highness wait

The Carl of Laystmoqt continues mach in the same

A seieerron of ancient and modern music, woltht•of

performed. The thief novelty,of thelpening was the,
Ora appearance here of Signora Toao:!whoia previous]
performances at the King's Theatre be hate noticed.
She was received with very flattering_ applause; and
'her execution, in conjunction with Mr. BRA/lASI, of
Rossini's beautiful demo, Ah 1 se puoi cosi lasciarsei,
delighted her auditors. Her middle notes completely
filled theAouse. They are round, clear, and full. At.
the end of the first part, a very clever lad, Master
HAWEes, one of the students at the Royal Academy to
Music, and under the immediate care of Mr. SPAomo-
Laxxs, performed a fantasia on the violin in an excel-
Itult style. -There is, for so young a performer, an im-
mensity of firmness, and a great degree of brilliancy as
well as delicacy in his touch. The selection from
Wraittris Opera of Der FreiscAnts, which followed,
gave very great pleasure to the .sudience. Miss PATON,
Mr. IiRANAM, Mr. ATE/NS (indeed, the great force of
the Oratorio corps). were called on to give due effect to
those admirable compositions. There was a full House.
