THE STATESMAN.

Lrryt.rrost moved to leave out the word " pot-
tery," for as there was no manufacture of glinted %are
in Ireland, there were no proteeting duties wanted mpon this
article. and the only effete they had, therefore, was that of
tax upon the Irish consumer.
The Ccazscat.Loa of the Excnrcaren spoke against
the proposition. as injurious to the revenue.
Sir J. NEWPORT said. the Union Duties were first
laid for the po-poses of protection ; but there was no
pottery manufacture In Ireland to be protected, and there-
lore there was no ground for the duty, except the purposes
o(revenue, An :Abject that •as a lion) colt of contemplation
when the duties were originally laid.
?dr. W. P%INELL spoke against the duty on pot-
tery. The revenne which it produced was nothing in
eon; erigon to the injustice of nulling the people of Ire-
land pay 10 per cent. more than the people of England. He
w.,ultt take this opportunity of expressing the gratitude
w acts he, in common with many of his countrymen, felt to
tit 9 Chancellor of the Exchequer for the laborious attention
which he had paid to the interests of Ireland during the pre-
sent Session,--(Hear, hear !)

A Nis:smelt thought it would be expedient to insppse
a duty of I,Boof. per million on the notes issued by the

The CHANCIMILOR of the F.xcttryt•aa said, that the
rotes trete manufactured at considerable expense to the
Bank for the convenience of the public, and certainly it
ne••ld be unjust to that body to impose such a tax.
The other Orders of the flay were then disposed of,
and the House adjourned at half past twelve o'clock.

We have this morning received Paris Papers of the
Bth instant. On Friday the King transacted business
with the Duke de Richelieu. The Count De Cases
Lad au audience of his .Majesty. The Chamber of
Deputies is occupied with the Budget of Ways and
bleaua. The meeting of the Spanish Cortes, it ap-
peals, by an article dated Madrid, June 28, has been
definitively fixed for the 9th July. None of the Am-
bassadors at foreign Courts have yet returned to
Spain. It is stated that M. Onis has received orders
to return to his post until some other diplomatist shall
have been appointed Ambassador at the Court of
Naples. Two or three Bishops, who have been cited
to appear, have, it is supposed, taken refuge in the
borders of Oaßirie and Portugal, where they are
firming an apostolic junta. Five Deputies of the an-
cient Cortes have also taken the same route; three
hare fled to Bayonne—their conduct does not excite
any fear of danger. Measures, however, have been
taken to prevent any movement on their part.
On Thursday the French Five per Cents. were done
at 79 f. 25 c.; but on Friday they experienced a
slight depression; after rising to 79 f. 60e., they left
off at 79 f. 10c.—Bank Actions, 1582 f. 50 c.

It is hardly possible that Ministers can be correctly '
informed of the high state of irritation which the pro-
ceedisgs against her MAJIIITT have produced in the
country. They would not have dared, with all their
effrontery, to undertake the management of this ini-
quitous prosecution, if they could have foreseen its ef-
fects upon the public mind. Hut they imagined, from
their success in other odious transactions, that they
shonld he able to geEtbongh this t and that by means
of the same trickery, the same mixture of deep guile
and apparent sincerity, with which they have cheated
the nation out of some of its most valuable rights,
they might confidently undertake the degradation and
deposition of a Qvitart: Well! there ars so two so
likely to get stuck fast in perilous situations as per-
sons who unite great cunning to a total want of ho-
nourable principles. They have such a contempt for 1
the understandings of others, particularly the moral
part of mankind, sad such an extravagant opinion of
their owl, that they are almost oertaia to engage in
some scheme which will cover them with defeat and in-
famy. Let dairy's:endings against her MASSIITT tired-

we are disposed to believe they would have leas is
fear from her acquittal than her condemnation. In
the latter case, one senentent, mixed up of disgust
and indignation, would take possession of the public
mind, and rankle there till it should find a vent.
tore contains many examples of the mighty effects
11 produced by injuries inflicted by liovernments on in-
dividuals ; and probably the evil genius of this coon•
try could not have devised a measure so pregnant with
mischief as that which now absorbs the attention of
all classes.

We therefore warn, whilst there is yet time for
retreat, both the promoters and conductors of this
odious prosecution, against the consequences of placing
themselves in a state of irreconcilable enmity with the
best and most deeply-routed feelings of the country.
There were before such ample and such just causes of
discontent, and which wanted only a rallying point,
like the present, to give them a terrible consistency,
that the agitation of this portentous question looks
like infatuation. It is plainly the beginning of a
crisis, and an awful one, in public affairs. It will
bring about a decisive change of some kind; and it
would be as absurd to expect that things should re- 1
MILIAI as they are, after so violent a shock, as that a
ball, discharged from a cannon, could be ?topped by a
racket. The Government must either go hack to
the point from which the first encroachment was
made upon the Constititution, or advance with-
out knowing what limits to fix to their pro-
gress. The honourable course would be plainly the
safe one; for the people of this country are not of a
vindictive character; and they would cordially for-
give past injuries, •in the pleasure of being restored
to their rights. Hut to advance continually in a bad
course, is an idea which no man, however depraved or
desperate, can contemplate without horror. If the
proceedings against her AlcJes i v be persevered in,
such is nevertheless the prospect her enemies will have
before them ; aisd an inexorable power, that of ne-
cessity, will push them forward on their destinies.
They must cover one act of violence with another ;
and the last precaution would always exceed the pre-
ceding in its jealous and stern character. It is hardly
necessary to add, that a Power which should be forced
to act in this manner, could not last lung ; and that,
if no other cau•e interfered, it would inevitably fail
by its own violence. '
Of course the enemies of the Quxest did not foresee
these consequences, when they set their engines to work
le effect her ruin. They were never in any situation,
or under any eireunsetweessdamous for mkgpinpogy she
results of their own memo:es; and blistieti by passion,
or governed by the blind passions of others, as they
have been in this case.-it is not surprising that they
should have rushed headlong upon the perils of this
frightful question. We cannot allow them the merit,
lu any part of their political conduct, of having acted
with wisdom or dignity. The misery that pervades the
country contains a melancholy evidence of their in-
capacity ; and they have involved the Government in
1 difficulties so paltry, so wanton, and at the same
time so mischievous, that they have forfeited even
the faintest claim to a dignified lime of conduct.
Yet it is evident that they have been tempted by what
all enlightened men consider as the weakest, and most
vicious parts of their policy, to plunge into this new
and, to all appearance, fatal perplexity. Seeing, that
the pernicious errors of their administration did not
produce upon the pnblic mind the effects that were to
be expected, they learned tic hold public opinion in the
utmost contempt ; and imagined there was no measure,
however hazardous ur unjust, that they could not un-
dertake without much risk. Because the nation would
not resent the oppressions it has endured ; and because
it has submitted to Welk besides, rather than risk the
dreadful effects of iosistance, they have had the folly
to misinterpret ikla hebearance, and the vanity to
ascribe it to theitown gkeat skill in the art of pveru-
Dieu'. It Sem the isioxication of this vanity, to-
gether with/heir belie 4 despising popular ferlings,

subject in the kingdom, and that in a manner so repul-
sive to all the forms of law and justice, se forcible a
confirmation of all that has been mid respect-
ing the dangerous views of the present party
is power, that all doubts of the danger to public
liberty are dissipated. The grand straggle between
the friends and enemies of the Constitutive will now
assumes a MOT* regular and determined character, and
be mower brought to a ternsleation. We lime net the

itidable body, and they may offer a most obstinate
resistance before they are beaten into feelings compa-
tible with the public good. The attack upon her MA.
JIIIITT was the commencement of this implacable dis-
pute ; and as the enemies of liberty have tired the 6r•t
shot, they have plainly to blame themselves alone,
for an event which, there is too lunch reason to fear,
has left no room for reconciliation. The public, after
what has recently passed, has no need of being ex-
horted to behave with energy. They know before-
hand what they have to suffer in case of discomfiture.
The veil is torn to tiecel that covered the designs
of their adversaries ; and whether they yield with, or
without a struggle, submission would be followed by
su:h a train of oppressions, that they would rather
meet death in any form, than endure a tenth part of
the evils that would be their lot, should they suffer
the loss of their remaining liberties.

It has for some days been reported in the higher
circles that the Kirin is about to pass a considerable
portion of the autumn in his Hanoverian dominions.
On more than one occasion it had been stated in the
Hamburgh papers that his Majesty was expected at
Hanover this summer, and that one of his palaces there
was preparing for his reception. ICo doubt is now
entertained among persons who have opportunities
of knowing, that the meditated visit will ere long
be undertaken, and that the preparations for it
will speedily appear. What the motive for it is, we
have not presumption to pronounce. It cannot be
believed that a Coronation at Hanover is in contemplation,
when a similar ceremonial to that,purposed to have been
celebrated in Westminster, has been postponed. The
Same reasons that prevailed in suspending the latter
must operate to prevent the former; and though the
feelings of his Winery's Hanoverian subjects may be
less agitated than those of Englishmen by the pending
trial of the lacams, it cannot be supposed that the feel-
ings of his M CIUTT could be less affected at the result
of the proceedings, in Hanover than in England. At sick a
serious crisis, if it be allowed to specalata on the mullet-
ing sentiments of the Royal breast, a change of scene
may be highly desirable. Retirement may be reckoned
due to public decency as well as personal respect; and
though it may not be necessary for the purpose of secur-
ing internal composure, it may be expedient as a re-
moval from external agitations. During the absence of
his MAJESTY from England, his Royal Highness the
Duke of Vona, it is understood. will be vested with the
requisite authority for the management of public affairs.

le consequence of the variety of fresh and urgent
matters, successively and unexpectedly arising, relative
to the proceedings against the Quetta, the Parliament,
which, as we stated some time since, wasexpected to
be adjourned about the present period, is likely to con-
tinue at least a week longer. if the step to which we
have referred above be taken before the meeting on
17th of next month, certain legislative measures will
be previously necessary, which will occupy the atten-
dee of loath flosses several days. ,This day week is
at
_present talked of as Sheila", of adjoarnmeat.

The Courtly writers in the Papers, both of last night
and this morning, continue to invoke the vengeance of
the law upon the Dover mob. who assailed the wit-
nesses against the Qvass. Are they not aware that
the vile abuse in which they had indulged on the one
side, IMP as unjustifiable as the /detest outrages com-
mitted by the mob on the other; and that the calum-
nies they had cast upon her MaJaarr's character,
might be as fatal to life as the missiles throw* against
the persons of the Italians? Is it not proinblc that
the Dover mob had beard that these Italians bad been
inftweered to come forward with their evidence ; and
can 77 le Cowries condemn the populace if they thought
it " not probable that every thing which was imputed
to arm was wholly false?" They might reckon these
Italians" aliens aa unworthy objects," and that" Eng-
land ought not to be involved in misery" on their ac-
count ; and can The Morning Pone blame the mob for
urging them " to yield to the universal good," and
" not caring whether us martyrs or as criminals?"
The advice, from Dover yesterday state, that the
Mayor, &c. are very active and vigilant to apprehend
mad bring to police the meet active of those persons,
mamemml in the late outrages against the Italian wh-
oles**. this is a proof that the local Magistrates did
aet deserve the imputation cast upon them by the
iiiaisterial Paper of yesterday morning. Our Dover
