TRENCH INDEMNITIES.

The House resumed.--On the question that the
Report be received,
Mr. WAHRE said, that this was a proper oppor-
tunity for calling the att,:ntion of the llow:e to a sub-
ject which it was Lot fit should escape their notice.
Ile held in his hand an account of the sums received
by Great Britain, under the nanitruf indemnity, from
France. It was to be recollected, tla.: by the Treaty

of the 20th November. 181. T. Frarce wa,

certain portion was to be received by this
the object of which, as he might ccileet
words of the Noble Lord (Lord Castlere
moving the Address on that Treaty, was "
people of this country, as far as it s.eut, a
their exertions during the war." By a eu'a
Treaty, fifty millions of francs a ye:.ise,
priatesi to the expense of an army m i ore
be maintained in France, of which a ce:te
to be appropriated to the British army,
were two distinct agreements—one for :I'.l
another for the support of the army. A N,
of his had at the time stated, in another
the sum apprsprinted to the British army
be nearly sufficient. This had at the. tin
tried; but when he had recurred is
had appeared that a dotation of din surn of

been called in aid of the allowance of t}
So far it was manifest, that the sere whicl,
calculated on for the support of cez Artn)

House it appeared that great part of the I
which the Noble Lord professed to have r
the English people, in return for t:r.eir
the war, had also been applied to :hi' A
cupation. The sum of 125,000.000 of tr.

which produced 1,4.00,000/. When he hi
this part of the account, he had flattered!
this sum, at least, had been applied to the

104,0001. was paid to the Paymaster i.'

Army in France, and the rest for Pri7,
that Army. It was to be recollesited,

of prisoners of war. It was therefora to
that from the expense of the Army o

his erroneous calculation.
Lord CASTLEREAGH said, it le
calculated that the twelve millions of
which were to be paid by France to th
of the Army of Occupation, would cot
of its expense. All that was reckoned
that the whole of the sums received from
cover the expense of the Army of (k

could not get over the plain and ostensible meaning
or the Clause, which was, that the Alien should be
cenveyci at the expense of this country, to what-
ever port he might choose to select—(hwns, hear.)
A: to the clause respecting the privilege of legal as-
nit,ince, it went to a complete change of the Bill,
I:err. :et executive to a judicial measure; it was not
Troliiication, but a subversion. He was not unl

•• Wu shall not stand here."—(Hear, hear, hear)—

As :a the power which the Bill would vest in the
1.,-els of Ministers, he should be ashamed if there
any Engiish Gentleman connected with the pre-
t:tMiiiiitry unfit to be entrusted ; and he declared,
;.:roli his honour, that if the Gentlemen on the other
cf the House were in office, he should most
yly entrust that power to them ; and he should ask
no more for himself and his colleagues, than he was
Tilling to concede to the other side—(Hear, hear).

Sir FRANCIS BURDETT said the Bill was hos-
tile to every fundamental law of the Constitution.
hs effect would be to drive all the talent, capital, and
industry of Lampe to the only free Government in
the world—the United States of •America. There,

never heard of those illegal and rigorous measures on

The Bill for the better regulating the care and
custody of his MAJzsrr's person was last night read
a second time in the House of Lords.

On the third reading of the Alien Bill, in the
House of Commas, Mr. BROUGHAM MOVed two
clauses—the first, to enable Aliens, when sent out of
the country, to be permitted to choose the place to
which they should be carried; and the other, to allow
them to employ Counsel, or Agents, if they should
appeal to the Privy Council. Both these clauses were
opposed by Ministers; as was one proposed by Sir
SAMUEL ROSIILLY, to confine this Bill in its opera-

tions to foreigners who may have come into this
country since the peace of 1814. Mr. BROUGHAM
also proposed an amendment, to exempt from the
operations of the Act females married to British born
subjects, and naturalized: all these clauses were,
however, negatived, on divisions; and the Bill passed
by a majority of 94 to 29.
Mr. BROUGHAM announced his intention to bring

Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY referred to the inconsis-
to-icy of the Right Honourable the President of the
E•vrd of Controul, who said that the measure was
di:ected only against such Aliens as manifested cri•
minal intentions; yet objected-to allow Aliens to have
Counsel, because it would give the proceedings a ju-
6icial character; so that Government were to have
the power of punishment, without the means of ascer-
tining the existence of guilt I 'llse Right Honour-
able Gentleman contended, that the measure was to
preserve the peace of this country, which must be
di:turbed if the peace of France were disturbed by
those who might come hither to plot against it ; but
Goo forbid that it should be impossible that the peace
of France could be disturbed without our being in-
ralved. An attempt had been made to ridicule the
consistency of those who opposed the present Bill, as
t':';:y had opposed former Bills of a similar nature.—
it was the first time he hal heard consistency impu-
ted to any one as a reproach. Those who sat on his
;Fir Samuel Iternilly's) side of the House were quite
av:r.re of the disadvantages of consistency ; and did
nit think so meanly of themselves as not to feel that
acre were among them men to whom high honours
be open, could they be prevailed upon to
4r.ndon their consistency, and change their political
c:".1:-.-e• The speech of the Right Honourable Gen-
ileinan he (Sir Samuul Romilly) characterized as a
;.ece of splendid declamation, _ containing some plea-

the House IA) u‘..ily prevailed upon to sanction a
zu.tinr, which would include in its operation above
2(,,,000 percons resident in this country, and many of
rhom had connected themselves with it by marriage.
Mr. BA It 11.1 11 contended, that the measure was
gratuitoiis and uncalled for ; and that it was incon-
i.tent with the spirit of cur Laws and Constitution.

in a Bill, in the present or next Session of Parliament,
to prevent the increase of the Poore Rates in the
first instance, and subsequently to narrow their limits,
and equalise the burden. What means may be pro-
posed for gaining these desirable results we have no
MUM of knowing, but we would offer a suggestion
for attaining the last of them. •
It is not only oppressive but absurd, that a person
whose house is separated from that of his neighbour by
only perhaps a narrow gutter, should, for a much worse
benne, be compelled; in many instances, to pay double
the rates that his neighbour is charged. This inequa-
lity arises, in many instances, from the Rates being
collected separately in Parishes, instead of being col-
lected by Districts ccntaining a number of Parishes•
By the present method the rich, ss ho avoid the quar-
ters in which there are low and poor neighbourhoods,
are often taxed less than half the amount paid by
their neighbours in the next Parish. Perhaps the way
which would come nearest to an equality would be,
by layipg the Rate for a trhole city, without regard.
ing Parish divisions (except for the convenience of
collection), or laying the Rate for the whole efacounty.

PARIS, MAY 19.

An extraordinary multitude of persons of all ranks
and classes repair every day to the Palais Bourbon to
visit the chapel where the mortal remains of the Prince
of Conde are deposited.
Mademoiselle the Princess of Conde, whom the
strict rules of the cloister do not suffer to go in per-
son to pour on the tomb of her august father the tri-
bute of her tears and inconsolable grief; has had a
funeral service pk..fo, 'lied for the repose of his soul
in the interior of the Monastery of the Temple.
In one of the late Sittings of the Chamber of Peers,
we are assured that a Peer (Count Boissy D'Anglas)
proposed that in future an indemnity should be gran-
ted to the Members of the Chamber of Deputies for
their travelling expenses ; but this proposition, though
supported by many reasons, was not taken into con-
sideration.

TANGIERS, APRIL sci.

The following are extracts from letters from Fez,
of the dates annexed
Aran. 4.—We have received here positive information this
the Plague has rnanifp,ted itself at Oran, and that it rages with
violence in that city as well as at Algiers. The alarm has ex-
tended to the inhabitants of Tremeeen and Uslada, who are
flying in crowds into the neighbouring provinces. As yet, how-
ever, there is no symptom of the plague in Fez. The weather
is delightful, and some rain which has fallen within these few
' days has greatly refreshed the atmosphere."
" Ara 6.—Within these few days a Intel caravan has
arrived from Tremeeen and Oran. At its departure front Oran
the plague had begun to rage with great violence in the environs
of that city."
. _

" Aran. B.—Yesterday two Amides with four domestics ar-
rived here from Minium). They are bearers of letters from
the new lley to the Sultan, communicating, it is presumed, his
elevation to the Regency, in order that he may be recogtdsed
by the Emperor."
We learn by a letter from Larrache, of date the
13th, that the state of health in that port is such as
to 'give no cause of inquietude.
