ry's Ministers, who certainly were most interested in
prodiOting judicious economy. The Honourable Mem-
ber who made the motion had assumed the tone which
fee ally thing but conciliation. It was not his inten-
lien to follow io detail the statements of the Hon.
weather, bat if the Hon. Member thought he should
bare the opinion of the House in his favour, or the
possibility of saving four millions, he misunderstood
Cie sense and wisdom of Parliament. The economy of
the ilea. Member woe so wild that the House could
eat eetertain it. It was said his Majesty's Ministers
had sot made exertions to reduce the espenditure of 1
the country. Ile could not agree with him on that
~t et. Hi t ,knew exertions had been made, ard
the wish he had was, that these exertions bad
been rapid. Did the Hon. Member know that
ataen
segretkes bad been made by Government in various
deputises& which had led to a satin of considerable
newt? There was no intention on the part of his
Majesty's Government to abstain from practical re-
trenchment. The Report of the Finance Committee
was before the Hope, and he trusted there would be
so relestance on the part of any Member to bring for-
ward any matter likely to produce a saving to the
Newry. He wished Parliament seriously to take into
consideration the distress of the country, and in that
view should submit a Resolution which was likely to
OM the concurjenee of the House. In cue it met
with support the- 100. Member would perhaps submit
to the good sense of the House, and withdraw the Re-
solution then proposed. Mr. Bankes concluded by

moving to leave out Mr. Humes Address, for the pur-
pose of introducing the following :—"To ass ire his
Majesty, that we have regarded with satisfaction the
course taken by his Majesty's commands for a genera

revision of the Departments of the Customs of Great
Britain; and we are induced to request his Majesty to
Rive further directions, that a similar investigation
way be instituted for the purpose of affording further
relief to the country, and that his Majesty will be gra-
ddusly
pleastil to order minute inquiry in the Civil
Departtueuts of Government, with refe ence to in-
' creased grants of salaries granted since 1797, either
in consideration of additional labour, or the diminish-
ed value of money. Further, that his Majesty will be
graciossly pleased to give direction that every possible

Committee, had, supported v winos resolutions fur eco-

induced to prefer the address cf the Member for Curie
Castle, rather than adopt that of the Member fur
Aberdeen. In the address of the latter there was a
censure on his Majesty's Ministers whirl' they did not
&serve. He thought the Hon. Member had began
his economy too late—(Hear, hear,)—and the motion
was to be considered censure and nothing bat censure.

i<tiend, also considered as visionary the proposition of
the Hon. Gentleman. The Noble Marquess said, he
should be giti!ty of incongruity if he expected strict
justice from the ether side of the House, in a decision
niton the actions of iris Majesty's Oovernment. He did
not expect that part of the House to appreciate u itii
cat.tieur and sincerity the conduct of atinisters. At
the saute time lie did not mean to impeach the political
conduct of ticatiersen, but there was always some-
thing jaundiced, if he might be allowed the'
expression, in the observations against his Ma.
jesty's Government. so much so, that Uovern-
rent might wait long for strict justice. It
anfortnnately happened. whenever the propositions
of the Noble Lord and his friends were rejected by the
noose, that a cry was made of the country being
rained. A disposition was then expressed to despair of
House of Commuas. At the saute time there was
tothing worse than that class of persons who were ta-
stes determined to take their ground beyond all reason-
able limits. They knew, like an Honuttroble Member
opposite, that their plans could not be adopted, yet they
pertinaciously insisted on the adoption. Tite Noble
Marquess gave reeding) the industry, of the Honourable
Member opposite; but if he was a deity, instead of an
assiduous, industrious Member of Parliament, it would
be impossible to make the House approve what reason
and justice must reject. The Honourable Gentleman
was like many persons who thought nothing Pas so
easy as to pill down a Constitution. It was only ne-
cessary to get a number of papers and a mass of notes
which it was impossible for human intellect to com-
prehend, and the Honourable Member might at any
time throw the House into confusion. He gave the
Honourable Member, however, credit for industry, but
could nut approve of his bilious hypochondriac state-
ments. The Noble Marquess was well assured the
country would think better of Ministers for not hold-
ing out delusive hopes. Parliament would tell the
troth. and the public mind would not be misled. It
was unfair to characterise the military force, which a
great ceremony always required, as a proof of dis-
affection on the part of the people. The manner in
which his Majesty had been received by all classes of
his subjects, was sufficient to iuduce him to trust him-
self among them. He then adverted to economy, and
stated that retreuchusent bad been made by his Majesty's
Government every year since the peace. The reduction
in the estimates this year amounted to 1,01b.000/. The
Honourable Member seemed determined to make an
Harlequin leap at the end of the Session, but be (Lord
Londonderry) would never be a mountebank, and be
agree to tell the country four millions could be saved

LONDON:
THIAISDAT EVENING, JUNI 28, 1821.

Paris papers to the 26th have arrived this mot ning.
They bring no fresh intelligence respecting the Greek
insurrection, nor the state of affairs in Constantinople.
An article from Madrid, dated June 15th states, that
a despatch had been received from the Empecinado two
days previously, requesting the aid of the re-inforcements
which had been promised him. It is reported in Madrid
that some scheme had been projected for the murder of
the Patriots and effecting a counter Revolution. Several
banishments are likely to take place in consequence. A
spirit of resistance to the constitutional system has not
ceased to exist in Andalusia. The Duke de l'lnfantado,
suddenly disappeared from the Capital ; it is said,
that he has since arrived at Guadalajara. Morillo
has resigned his office of political Chief. Previous
to his resignation it is represented that he had
some serious conversation with the King, in the course
of which he told his Majesty that during his command
no disturbance occurred at Madrid. General Copon>,
after repeated applications to hint, has been induced to
succeed Morillo. Negociations and solicitations are
constantly repeated to obtain an extraordinary Cortes.
--It is belieied that the King will ultimately give Ms
assent. The Committee of Recompense has made its
Ireport to the Cortes relative to the remuneration to be
granted to the Chiefs of the revolt of the Isle of Leon
and in Gallicsia. it proposes to grant to Quiroga and
Riego a yearly revenue of 20,000 francs to them.
selves and successors; to request the King to confer on
them the titles of Castille (Marquess or Count) ; to
Hopes Banos, Arco Agnero, and O'Daly, an annual
revenue of 10,000 francs, for themselves and successors;
to General Espinosa and Colonel Accredo, a pension
of 5,000 francs for himself and successors.
The frigate, La Pronte, has arrived at Cadix from
Vera Cruz and the Havannas, in thirty-nine days, bring.
log ten millions of dollars, four millions of gold, and I
one hundred marks in silver.
The Paris papers which had previously come to hand,
announce the passage of the King of Prussia on his way
to Luxemburgh, and the death of the Duchess Dowager
of Orleans. They mention also the accoachernent of
tits Dachau Domes, who was delivered of a son, and

The ether Foreign Journals which have been received
nodes a report of the discovery of souse plots in*Prossia
against the safety of the State, bat do not venture to give
any particulars. Oa the subject in dispute between the
King of Sweden and the Diet of Norway, the message of hi ••
Majesty enters into an elaborate exposition of the bene-
fits which the several nations of Europe derive from the
existence of institutions of nobility ; and after again ex-
pressing his disapprobation of the conduet of the Diet,
invites the Storthing to return as soon as possible to the
Monar:hical Order established by the first Article of the
Constitution, and proposes to the Diet immediately to
recognise the principle of Indemnity to those families
who have suffered by the abolition of their privileges;
and that his Majesty may establish a Nobility to reward
services done to the State.—These journals bring no
news from Turkey, bat admit that the statement of the
death of Ali Pasha is now very generally discredited.
The numerous and contradictory reports we hare from
time to time relative to the fate of this enterprizing
man, are alone sufficient to make us distrust the intelli-
gence that comes through similar channels relative to
the occurrences connected with the Greek Insurrection.
Accounts through another channel state, that Ali had
entrenched himself in a small fortress, where he had
made the necess.iry preparations for blowing up the
place, in case of bring overpowere,l, and thus sacrifice
himself and his followers rather than surrender to his
opponents. These advice. further state, that at Adria-
nople the Turks are raising an army by forcible means,
and the most barbarous cruelties continue to he exer-
cised Sowards the Greek inhabitants. It may he proper
to notice that, with respect to the Greek Insurrection.
the Austrian an.; other iierman journals are :Trudged
to speak of its progress almost with favour for some time
bark; and the probablity of a uar h,•tween
lins-
sia sad the Porte is openly stated in the Fr, olds
and other Continental Papers. SJeuir of the
French Journals will have it that Bucharest is
still in the hands of the Greeks, and that the time
at which the Turks were said to hare entered that town
was within a certain number of data, during which,
from a certain religious ohm. rvince, the 'lurks never act.

The business of the House of Commons last night
related chiefiy to the public expenditure ; and, from
the statements made, and the proceedings that ensued,
was more than usually interesting. One of the first
subjects to which the attention of the House was di-
rected, was the irregularity and extravagance that had
been practised respecting the New Stamp Office at
Edinburgh. From what was stated, it appeared that
a building was to be erected in a situation inconve-
nient, at an expense of about 12,0011/., in preference
to one that might have been had convenient and com-
plete, for lets than two-thirds of the sum. The next
subject in which the same want of regard to public
money was sheen, was in the neglect to obtain secu-
rities •n t;:e appointment of the late Treasurer of the
Mauritius, Mr. Ttisovotte noon, who bad been de-
clared by a Committee appointed by the Governor of
that island to examine his accounts, to have been defi-
cient in a sum exceeding 60,009 dollars. But these
are trifles when compared with those excesses which
are stated to take place in the other branches of the
national expenditure, and which it was the object of
Mr. livme to point ant in his motion fur an Address to
his M a.; my on the state of the Finances of the country.
From the statements of that vigilant and persevering
patriot it appears that in the Army Estimates a ►educ-
tion might be made to the amount of a million and a
half; and in the naval, ordnance, and other depart-
ments to above two millions and a half more. By these
reductions a saying might he effected to the amonnt of
several of the taxes that press most directly and
severely on the labonring :lasses, and even a surplus ob-
tained that would substantially assist the Sinkirg Fond.
The object of Mr. illcaet:'s tion as, that a minute
investigation should he instituted into the mode and ex-
pense of the management anti collection of the Revenue ;
that a careful revision should be made of all salaries and
allowances, in order that they might be adjusted to the
state of the currency ; and that a vi.,ilant superinten-
dence should be exe the expenditure of the
country, especially is lisbutents of the Army.—
It is curious to observe r in which this motion
was met. It could K tly opposed, and was
therefore proposed to reeled by an Address
which was moved fir by sae of the friends of Ministers,
in which the languaire of economy was more than usu-
ally employed, but connected with compliments to the
Administration for their revision of expenditure in the
department of Customs.

Yesterday there was some business doing in the Tal-
low market, (ming to an ilea that a war would take
place between Russia and the Porte. There were also
bets laid on the above probability, and five to one taken
that Consols would be done on this account at 7k.
NavaNs A n,M A I 2.—The Comet has arrived here af-
ter a passage of 10 day*, ar:d a feet of Spanish
merchantmen, consisting' of 'ail, sailed on Satur.
day, from this port, for different Ports in Spain. The
British ship, Hall, of Liverpool, from Jamaica for

Cargo consisting of rum, sugar, and coffee.
The United Snttes Corvette, John Adams, is in port
with Colonel Forbes on board, and will sail in a tew

It has been whispered, that Mr. Frankland Lewis,
who cornea to this Country, as one of the Parliamentary
Commission, to inquire into the mode of collecting the
Irish Revenue, will remain as Chief Secretary fur Ire-
land, in place of Mr. Grata. We own we should be
sorry to lose Mr. Grant : that he is anxious to serve'
the Country, we sincerely believe—he is doing much,
and will rlo much more, should he continue in his
present station.—(Deblia Erasing Post)

The amateurs in the West of England were assise4
with a good morning's sport on Tuemlay, in a battiq be-
tween (twinned, a plasterer, at Cheltenham, seconded by
Spring ; and Wadley, a horse-dealer, seconded by Clark.
It took place at Corse Lawn, in tiloucestershire, and 02.6
cited conch interest.
Seceuty-live rounds were fought in two hones and a
quarter. Cwinnel, a man of science, floored his adroit-
sire in the first round, by a flush 'eft.handed facer.,
• A severe rotund, and mods manliness was displayed,
some heavy hitting took place, but Wadley was again
floored.
tioinnel kept the advantage until the 7th rotted, anti
hai severey pinked his adversary, but Lem he hit his
right-handed knuckles out of the sockets, and was oh-
liged to change his system of fighting.
Wadley led for many rounds, but his adversary ot?t•
seieneetl'lsim, and (might with much coolness until beat
length wore his milt-emery one.
In the 12th round, (twinned was floored by a Wavy
hit, but he had no more the best of it, and his peaisb-
went was very severe.

" THE. AU.NG .•1, MUI.LING4R."

A paragraph in the London Papers relative to the
determination of lea,ee of lands on the King's
visit to Molling,ar, appears to beer excited very se-
rions al arm in that place. On the first appearance of
that paragraph in the Dublin Newspapers, • gentle-
man stimeavbat interested, wishing to ascertain the fe-t,
eansed iiainiry to he made thr .ttgh the stations offices
of " Black Letter" in Ireland; the result was," that no
lease of lands ever was made, whose tenure determined
on the K tig'sVisit to Mellinger." But by a deed which
Inas exhibited to the writer, the ancestor of a family.
Isince enabled, s ,ld, and released tie ever, • capital.
messnage, with the appurtenances, in or near the vil-
lage altillinger," to the Prior and Brethren of the
Dominican Friary si waled there , they, the said Print
and Brethren, finding hia-. and servants in " sulficieut
accommodation of housrlale, brewing, and baking,
in said house," when " the King and his great vINII•
should happen to arrive at the village aforesaid." The
reason for so remarkable a reservation may be, that
Henry the Sixth, having some years before the
above, air. in 1447, held a Parliament in Trim, then a
place of no note, the inhabitants of Mellinger, which was
larger and more populous, entertained expeetatioiss of s
similar honour being conferred on their town.
—:After so great a lapse of time, this ecrujecture
may be considered soCiently probable. The
above Donaiiii;al Friary and its estates falling to the
Crown, were afterwards granted by King Henry
the Eighth, without any such reservation, so that no
fear may b.: entertained by the present occupant (it
such there be) of this " capital messuage."—After
the most diligent search, the above is,thereply con-
tingent grant made in the town or neighbour-
hood of Mullingar, which can be found ; and
as this report has appeared I. all the 'Journals,
much to the injury of many landholders, " a
llnilingarian" has taken occasion to insert this cons
trauliction of it in one of the Dublin papers.
