J • Sir J. NEWPORT observed, that by the undies

last speaker, the Scotch distiller Witt enabled lit
only to reduce the revenuei but to import his spirit!
Into the Irish market, at a bounty injurious to the der
Interest bf the Irish distiller.
Mr. J. P. GRANT spoke against the Miran&
Ur. HAWTHORN in its favour. •
Mi. GRATTAN contended, that the Comelleeeid

barriage contract.
Mr. MARK YATT and Mr. MELLISH both ob-
jected to the principle of the Bill, as being at vari-
ance Itith the opinion of the Committee, who so
anxiously considered
.the matter in the year 1809.
Mr. FINDLAY protested against it on similar
grounds. No alteration could make the principle
of the present measure palatable to him, or consist-
ent with a fair reciprocity of advantages between the
Iwo countries. lie .should therefore prefer taking

ARMY ESTIMATES. •
Mr. BENNE!' hoped that at so late an hour it
ras not the intention of the Noble Lord (Palmer-
ston) to persevere in bringing forward the Army
Estimates.
• Lord PALMERSTON mw no occesien for any
farther delay, the more particularly as there could
be little information afforded to the House on the
subject of any reduction in the expence during the
present year, three 'palters of the year's ezpendi-
tore being already incurred, and our armies not being
yet got home. There would, besides, be a further
stage for discussing the subjectif it should be thought
necessary.
Mr. PONSONBY could see no imperious neces-
sity for proceeding at that hour, the more particu-
larly as the military service could not stiffer from
postponing the business till there was a fuller House.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, saw

great increased inconvenience to the ifouseiroM every
day's delay, while, at the same time, no idea could
at this moment be held out to the House as to what
Might be expected to hp the Peace establishment.
Mr. FREMAN'f LE hoped to have heard,to:night
*tat was the probable expectation as to the amount

ft bf the peace establishment, but if no hlicatmellinS -
4 tMs head was to be expected, he agreed that the
1• postponement of the Measure was the less necessary.
The House having resolved itself into a Committee
. of Sapply, a number of miscellaneous Irish services
here voted. After which,
Lord PALMERSTON brought forward his Army
lstimates. He should content himself at present
with the leading features, reserving the details for a
' future occasion. From a general view of the whole

it would be seen, that comparing the Estimates with

the saving in Lorci 'Wellfugton's Staff. There was au
increase in the present year's estimates, which he
-was certain the House would be happy to encourage,
namely, in the pay of General Officers not having
regiments, who were at present in the receipt• of
every possible variety of pay, from that of Lieute-
nant Colonel to that of a Captain. This was not con-
sistent with justice or liberality,. and. a contrary
practice not only prevailed in every other Military
'service, except ours ; bat even in the Naval Service
of this country, such had ceased to be the rule for I
more than a century. Ills intention was to pia& 1
General Officers on the same footing With Flag Offi-
cers in the Navy. Thus a Major-General to hove the
t" Mama pay with a Rear-Admiral, a Lieutenant-Genii-
eal the same pay with a Vice-Admiral ; but a
General to have no higher pay than a Lieutenant-
General. This would amount to about 83,0001.—
Another encrease of pay would be .to Officers re-

FlsRkfcp PAPERS.

COPENHAGEN, Jun, 3.-It IS thought that this
kingdom is about to receive a new Constitution. The
law called Royal, prohibits the Monarch, under pe-
nalty of dethronement, from ceding any portion of
territory; and the King having ceded Norway, the
Constitution is thereby violated. On the other side
the secceesion to the Throne is deranged by the so-
lemn abdication of Pritice Christina. It is thought
that by means of a new constitution the Crown may
be made to peal to the Princess Royal, daughter of
the King.

SctswicE, Julie B.—The new King of Norway'
has demanded of the Commissioners of the Allied
Powers, whether they haveletters of credence to him
and the Norwegian Government. Their answer not
being satisfactory, he has refitted them passports for
the interior, until they have received letters of ere.
deuce. These Commissioners, it is thought, are
stopped at Frederickshall,the first town of Norway.
The Swedish army will attack Norway, at the
same time, on the side of Wermeland, and on that
of Dronthiem. It will be assembled about the end
of July. It consists of about 40,000 effective men,
but it is short of provisions.

Salzbourg, and some districts to the North of the
Danube, to round the frontiers of Austria;' but

dized by the territory of Wnrtabvrgh, and, perhaps,
by a part 9f the left bank of the Rhine, in which is

gouty of Middlesex, by reason of cruelty and
adultery, alleged to have been committed with his

Heyn quitted her husband's house in consequence of
