FRIDAY, M•tCH 29.

In the fiords there was a conversation respecting
the two reduced Lords of the Admiralty, during which
Lord MaLvii.t..-; observed that, the reduction would
cause an addition of potions! expense. This was all
that trooseiled worthy of psrticolar notice.

. , .

In the House of CeftelOne, Mr. Howe, le a Com-
mittee of Supply, made some further attempts to cattle
redactions is the expenditure ; bat,' without any if.
feet, and we perceive that ten thousand poonds were
granted for works at the College of Edinburgh with-
out a single word of opposition from any body ! The
labourer, let it be perceived, pays a pert of this money
out of his earnings ; and we shootd be glad to bear
some one attempt to explain bow he can possibly be
benefitted by these works.
But, the thing of the greatest importance that has
occurred in Parliament was the notice gi►en this
evening, by Mr. CANNINO, of Lis intention to move on
the thirtieth of April, for leave to bring in a Bill to en-
able Catholic Peers to sit in Parliament! This is so
just. It is every way so proper that every one meat' wish
it success, unless he be under the influence of some
selfish motive. These Peers are excluded from their
seats, only because they adhere to the religion of their
and our forefathers. Mr. PIA/01MT (00f readers
homy who he is) did not seem to be very positive as to
whether he should give his suppoit to this mea-
sure or not. He has lately joined the Ministry ;
lied, be has, heretofore been an advocate for
the cysts of the Catholics. There seems to be a great
1/4...dificuliy amongst the parties io this case;
whit bee induced Mr. Cassis. to bring the measure
forward at this time, it is not for us to presume to 'ay.
Probably his being out of Oleo has afforded him lei-
sure to think of inch matters ; and if he should re.
main out of office for any considerable length of time.
we should not be surprised If his active Med
were to discover other matters to bring forward
equally important; that is to say, if the payment of
rent: should give the Right Honourable person time
to pirsoto his valuable researches. At any rate, we
most ►eattitl wish him success in his present un-
dertaking, notwithsteeding the moiety for the promo-
lion of Christian knowledge, are sow pdblishing and
circulating fourteen separate works, eodeavourieg to
show the donanabkarse of the Catholic Rell4ion.

From the New York papers received ynterday :

- it was Resolved, that the Committee ea Coal-
mene be instructed to expire into the expediency of
so modifying the provisions of the first section of the
Act entitled, An Act further to regulate the entry
of merchandise imported into the United States from
any adjacent territory," approved, March 2. 1821, as
to substitute a penalty of four times the value of the
merchandise imported subject to a duty, instead of the
present penalty, la all cases where the nine of nett

Rectums doors.—Mr. Cocks hid on the table the
litilowlng Resolution :—Resolved. that the President
of the. Uoitod Status be requested to cause to be laid
before the House a statement, showing the amount of
woollens purchased for the army during the years
1820 and 1821 ; of who-n the purchases were made;
at what prices ; •ad what proportion thereof was of
Americas mansfactsre.

A Paris paper of Saturday has arrived, but has
brought no intelligence that accounts for the agita-
tion ; in the French Funds, except what relates to the
agitations in the country. In public assemblies and
in private circlet much turbulence appears to prevail,
and a duel was expected to take place between Oen.
Semele and General Carina, In consequence of some
harsh expressions between the parties, in the Chamber
of Deputies on Thursday. On Friday, the discussion
on the budget of the war department was resumed,
when the delicate question of the nature and extent of
military obedience was agitatedby some of the speakers,
and the duty of passive submissioi was urged by Gee.
Donnadiea as that of the soldier towards his chief.
—" The obedience of the soldier," said Gen. Foy.
in reply " ought to be passive, both when employed
against the foreign enemy, and In the maintenance of
internal peace; hut in the latter case the civil power
must be on the spot to authorise the activity of the
soldiers. If it were otherwise, (continued the General
emphatically,) what would become of as ? Suppose a
niiiitary Commander should thus address his troops—
' Let us march against the Trikries'—must they, then,
obey him ? When his back is to the interior. and his
face to the foreign enemy, then. indeed. is the soldier's
obedience passive—ant so when Isis back is to the fron-
tier, and his face to his fellow-citisens at house." In
the course of the debate there was proposed
a reduction of 8,000,000 francs, in the 14,000,000
demanded for the gendarmerie, when it came out from
the admission of r Ide Can:, an official agent, that
the gendarmerie had been raised from 7,000 to 27,000
inen—a force,said he,whi eh circumstances had rendered
iodispensible, as various services were now intrusted
to the gendarmerie beyond those which they bad ori-
ginally performed. The sitting terminated in great
confusion ; and animosity and distrust appear the
order of the day. Twenty-six inspectors of polier
were dismissed from office on Friday last, and the
whole of the police establishment of Paris bad received
orders to be at their desks by eight o'clock in the
morning.
The Funds on Friday left off at 891. 30e. ; on Sa-
turday, at 89f. 15c.

Penes Leopold arrived at Naples from Rome, on
the I Leh of March.

Mr. T. Cooka's Concert on Friday last was nume-
rously and brilliantly attended. bliss Cooks made
her first appearance on this occasion, and sung in a
manner which bolds forth great promise of future emi-
nence. Amongst the most admired pieces of the even-
ing, was a Grand Duet on the piano and French born,
composed by Mademoiselle JAWS, of the Conservatoire
Royal of Paris, performed by that young Lady with a
.legree of taste and execution seldom equalled sad never
mrpassed, and well supported by Mr. TULLT on the horn.

ISSISPAST !OWOSSO.

Marquess of LANSDOWNS Iliad intended
ive for a topy of the opinion of the Attorney. and
tor General on all the cases of prosecution mod-
by the Excise, aphid wants selling roasted
, &c. bat had altered his mottos at the suggestion
able Earl opposite (the Earl of Liverpool.) As
;could be.no other opportunity. of entering upon
abject until after the Holidays were over, be should
briefly call their Lordship's attention to the Returns
on the table. It appeared from them that the COS.
loiters of Excise had thought themselves authorised
ct of Parliament, not merely to prosecute persons
red with. or suspected of frauds on the Revenue, but
is who were neithei charged with, nor even stio-
of fraudulent practices, but who merely sold for
imption a substance not prohibited by law. It was
ible that the commissioners really thought ann-
ul:der the opinion of the Law Officers of the
0, warranted in doink so; but he did not believe
their Lordships or the other House had ever intend
invest them with any such power. The origin of
a under which they proceeded was this: in conse-
iueoce of the ditticalty of bringing legal proof of
and in the sale of coffee, they hail applied for increased
iwerss but these were granted, not for the prosecution
persons selling substances which were not prohibited,
to enable them more rffeetnally to collect such an
ntant part of the public Revenue as the Excise.—
re was a broad fine between the punishment of per-
or suspected, and that of persons who citr-
on a fair and lawful traffic. He was convinced that
diament never meant to leave it to the legislation
the Commissioners of Excise to determine what sr-
, should be sold, prohibited or taxed. He under.
that they had established a rule, by which peV.'
who manufactured breakfast powders for their own
were exempt from prosecution, whilst those who
red them fur sale, were prosecuted fur what was in
lawful calling! He was midi to contend that no
, manufacture-no line of trade, could be more im-
twit to the country than that which increased the
ns of sustenance out of its own produce. The Co:ri-
sk:Mrs had no right to interfere as they had dent;
the more the subject was considered, the more it
Ili! appear to be the duty of Parliament to keep the
ice of ;curtaining objects of nationol expediency in
owl: hands, and to encourage every attempt made to
.gment the consumption of the means of human food
produced by the country. He therefore called upon
their Lordships to revert to the acts adduced -as a justi-
' 'tion of the proceedings adopted by the Excise Com-
'wieners, and to bring them back to their original
irpose, which was to assist in preventing fraud, and
at to punish persons who tarried on a fair, open, and
iral trade, not pretending to offer any composition for
diet, but selling a new article of human food. He
cold conclude by moving for copies of all convictions
..brained under prosecutions instituted by the Hoard of
Excise, for selling bread corn, roasted wheat, and other,
hailer substances.
•The Earl of LIVERPOOL should not object to the
mn:ion as it now' stood. He hail suggested the pro-
-iety of calling for this information, instead of the
'Mon of Crown Lawyers on the cases themselves. as
a did lint believe that many instances would be found,
though hr knew that some existed, in which that opinion
bad been given, and then Ks. production would be in.
