Ministers down. On this, he had to OBJ
serve, that he and his friends did not deal
in siiecures, and therefore this Office would
not do for them. 1t was not the opposition
n that House. but the country, which cal
led for economy, as might be seen from the
immense load Of parchment. beneath the
weight of which, their table could scarcely
stand, which had been forwarded to them
from al quarters, pettion'ng FOR retrench
ment and relief. 1T was said they wished
to run race in counting popular favor

Lord opposite though thought an inquiry
by Committee of that House ~as one of
the most alarming things that could be con-
templated. He had told then tia, If they
voted for the Committee, they at once
withdraw their confidence from him.
He had no confidence to withdraw from
the Noble Lord, as he had given him none.

when any Objectionable measure was to be,

be quite so pleasant as could be wished"
but it was added " if you do not vote for it,
you remove the government, & then what
will you dor" This terrible threat had
been held out SO long thatit began to lose
its effect The gentlemen opposite, need
not be much afraid of its being carried into
effect. They might see from what had
occurred with respect to the property tax,
that Ministers would not very prccipitately
give up their places. He would answer for

BRITISH HOUSE OF COMMONS.


BRITISH HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Lord Athorpe. on the night of the 9TH
May, in the British House of Commons,
brought forward his promised motion for
the appointment of a committee. to en-
cure into the increase or diminution of Of
hces and salaries since the year 1898. with
power to report to the House, from time
to time, whether any, or what further di-
minutlon might be made consistent with
pablo safety and was supported BY the
whole strength of the opposition, as we'll
as by several members who voted iniifer-
cAty.-The numbers were thus swelied on
Division to 125 for the motion, & against
it 100.
On this subject, Lord Castlereagh, in re-
ply to Mr.. Lambe and others, observed.
1t he thought that the gentlemen about him
MR.. l4ambe,) for their economy or for a.
ny thing else, possessed more cf the conf
denoe of the nation, in Gods name. let
him bring this to some practical test--let
this be done, and if the result were such
as he, MIR. Lambe, might expect it would
be, let the present ministers retire but
he hoped they would not be for moment

dence had been withhra Hn, which the ex-
ecutive government ought always to pos-

was afforded them from responsibility he
spurned he disdained to cover himself by
adopting the course recommended, and he
again called on the hon. ntleman to
bring the question he had raised to some
practical issue, with the least possible de-
iay--(liear. hear, hear D-There was no
greater deusion Practised in the whole
circle OF politics, than that which was at

site, (and by the hon. and learned gentle
man IN particularly when they endeavored
to make the public believe that the dis
tress which might be complained of in the
country, grew out of the vast Sums paid to
persons in Office. If the whole amount of
official emoluments were a; once swept a.
way from the expenditure of the nation,
It would have little 10 do with the Question
OF distress. The people would snfff in the
same degree, whatever arrangement might
be made with respect to these. Yut It was
commended that it was not so much the ex-
pence as the influence of the Grown that
was to be dreaded, when these Offices were
under the consideration Of the House. He
denied that the influence OF the Grown had
dangerously Increased; he Showed this to
have been at no distant period the distinct
ly avowed opinion Of Parliament.

TRANSLATED FOR THE B. PATRIoT.l
(From The Paris Nlonneur
On the 9TH of May, the Council of War,
convoked by General Despionis, to try
Lieutenant- General Bertrand, accused of
the crimes specified in the Kings or
dinance Of the oath July, assembled in the
hall of the Council. 1t was composed as
follows:
PreSident-Lt. Gen. Firlet Of the artil-
lerv
Judg ss-L'cutenant General Ruti, Lieu
tenant-General Noury, Colonel of Staff
Descourteilles. Chef d'Escadron Deque-
len, Captain Montigny, Captain Dammar-
tin.
Rehorter-Chef d'Escadron Viotti.
After going thro' the Customary forms,
the kings attorney expressed himself as
follows:
Henry Gratien Bertrand, Leutenant-ee-
neral, he'd the first rank among the
Frenchmen who accompanied B0naparte in
his enterprise against France 1t. Cen
Bertrand is prosecuted in justice for contu-
macy.
He was the principal accomplice of the
usurper-he was the interpreter OF his
thoughts, communicated his orders, and
distributed his favors. You viii recolect,
gentlemen, that it was in virtue Of a COM
mission, signed by Bertrand, that General
Debelle took command Of the department
Of Drome.
in 1914, and before he set out for EIba,
the accused made his submission to the
King he wrote in the following terms to
the Duke de Fitzjames, whom he charged
to tender his Submission:
"The Emperor having affiliated, / am
rel al Ill I
nying him, discharge the debt of gratitude
and honor. / remain subject of the king,
and will be his faithful subject. am
persuaded that the Emperor has renounc-
ed in his heart, al, ide2 OF returning To
France ; but / can assure yol that, under
any circumstances whatsoever, am unwil-
ling to NEEDLE in political afflirs / was
never man OF revolution nor Of intrigue,
and i will die as have lived, an honest
man and a man OF honor. IF you ever
have occasion to speak of INC. you may af-
firm, without fear of contradiction hereaf-
ter, that whatever may be tine course Of
events, / shall never devate from the line
i have traced out, or depart from my
duty"
viii Mt particularly insist upon that
letter to Justify the conc usion that will ter.
inmate the report. Doubtless, however. il
bears no small weight in the cause. since it
demoDstr ties how much we are 10 value,
from the lips Of a certain person, the word,
Honor. Duty words, which are inscribed
twice on the same page by the pen of Ber-
trand No; that letter is of no small ac-
count, since il proves that general. who
was pointed out to us as model of every
generous virtue, did not scrupe to commit
perjury, and peuured himself to his sovs..
reign. But it Isl mt against the perjurer
that We have to render justice. nor is L the
letter OF general Bertrand that is to esta-
blish the lawfulness ofthe condemnation
which engagement for the public demands

nounce the punishment, is the one COM
