THE STATESMAN.

LONDON:

watwasoAv. WARM 31, 1819.

There is no intelligence hem France deserving the
space it would occupy in our Paper. The pregnancy
of the Duchess DE Bum is annoeuced in the Parisian
repess a. an event beyond doubt.
The Madrid Papers speak of the General Ramo-
YALU, at New Orleans, Perishing the cause of the
Awoken Independents, end making his peace with
FERDINAND. These modern Contowtuan multiply
every day, bet they have less honeerable motive fo►
their conduct thin the Roman.

Mr. TAYLOR deserves the thanks et the Public
for his endeavours to separate the jurisdiction of
Bankruptcy Cusses from the GREAT &Lit. The
onion of business makes op too much for the head of
any man ; and the anion of profit too great also for
the purse of any but the moot inordinately svarmioes.
Ten pounds for every Act of Parliament !—ten
pounds for every Docket struck ! Heavens, what an
accernelation of wealth from an &masted nation!
Is it to be wondered at, that so weil.pairi a Public
Functionary thinks little of ten thousand a year to
the Deke of Toot, for being Custos (Keeper) of
14 Royal Father !!

A very respectable Paper, which has rendered
snore service than any other enfant to the ante of
Liberty, and which can, and as we hope will, effect
nisch more, gives the following important inform..
lion:—" Immediately after the second division, and
before the goestinn was pet open the last Resole.
tion, expressing the opinion of the Iliseae with re-
spent to Mr. Quis's conduct, Mr. F. Donacas
moved that the Resolutions into which the Howse
entered upon the rase of THOMAS FERGUSON last
year should be read. They were as follows :
a rue the Reolllllliotl of the Moor, of the illsh April, shat'
the said Letter,
of
by Twos. Feast/sem to a Freeholder
of the Comfy of Lanark, wish she imam to iallomee he Vote
far the said Coast, of Lams*, is a corrupt outesapta mbeeet
she freedom and iadtpeadetsre of Mellen, aid a Mob breach of
the Privikies of this Home, mieht be read s sm the same befog
read, Itemised, That she mid Trios. Fattovionr, in written
and sold* she said letter, lk.b. Mee guilty of a corrupt attempt
salstieti the freirdom ;sod Mee of kketion, aid a
high breath of she Priattenes of this HOOP.
•s That the said Tiros. Faaticson be for his said nerare
committed in Ms Melesty's jail .4 !gentile, aid that Mr.
Braila tut do hose his Isamu* accordingly.
" Mr. W. BOOTLE then roes to state, that" there
was a considerable difference between the two cases,
.of which he wished the Gentlemen who were not
'then Members of the House to be informed, namely,
that Mr. FERGUSON had been seat to Neregate for a
gross lie.
" Me. Dotrirmas baring moved that the Resolutions
should be read, sighed to state the grounds of his
motion. Upon the comparative amount of truth
that bad appeared in each of these l -.action., he
should maks no observation ; but h jot remark,
that it was not for the tie which be told, but, as it

appeared from the Minutes themselves. for as attempt
corruptly to inflating elections to Parliauseot, that
Icsousure was seat to Nano,. lie mast farther
remark, that 1.-mit:sox was an ignorant man, in an
bumble class of life ; and that Mr Quirt is a Mem-
ber of the House itself, • Gentleman rich in the pa-
tronage of the Crown. and to whom that patronage is
again to be entrusted."
It is impossible that She judt„ment of so able a
writer canoot point out t, him the necessity of •
speedy Parliamentary Reform, end therefore we
feel assured that Isis integrity will not allow him to
linger i• the task. Without this desideratum it is
impossible that his children should etrjoy the limiest
fruits of their parents' labours, and with it they may
be at once honoured and secured is them.
The American Paper, give es en meant of a mar-
&roes duel, in which Gets. MASON lost his life. His
antagoni,t, Mr. MiCARTY, first proposed that they
should fight one barrel of gaatmerder, t►ee that they
shoold fight with dirks, end lastly, the contest took
place with muskets. at a distassee of 10 fed! Coe
