SALTOVN. Although no Amendment was however moved in either House, the Addresses did not pass altogether without observation.  In the Commons, Mr. *DONALD took occasion to enter into a very extended reviilw of the measures of Administration ; in the course of which he particularly animadverted on the silence of the Speech as to the steps which had been taken to obtain the entire concurrence of the other Powers of Europe in our efforts to abolish the Slave Trade ; and with respect also to the Commission for enquiring into the Abuse of Charities ; which he designated as lame and impotent, and merely designed to evade the just clamour which had been raised on the subject.  Sir HENRY PARNELL also complained that the Speech took no notice of the Claims of our Roman Catholic countrymen, although it is matter of notoriety that no less than seven of his MAJESTY'S Ministers are friendly to the cause of their Emancipation. The observations thrown out on these topicidid not, however, bring forth any explanation on the. part of Ministers or their friends, who probably reserve themselves for the more regular discussion of them, which must subsequently take place. In the House of Lords Ministers were greatly more communicative, and-information on so:ne points of considerable interest was elicited.  The Marquis of LANSDOWNE having asked, for the information of the House and of the country, what system Government meant to adopt in regard to the monied circulation of the cou:.try, involving the question of the long-continued Restriction of the' Bank with respect to Cash-payments? He was re-1 plied to by Lord LIVERIDOOL, who avowed, that it is not the intention of Ministers to- recommend the resumption of Cash-payments, on the expiration of the present Restriction Act, in July next, but that any continuation of it which might be proposed would be for as short a period as possible. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE 'raving also adverted to the murder by the American General JACEsON of our unfortunate countrymen, Messrs. ARBUTNNoT and AMERISTER, the Noble Premier, while he deprecated any discussion on the subject in the present state of our information upon it, observed, that the transaction did not appear to be authorised by the Government of the United States, and even took place without their knowledge; leaving it obviously to be implied, that if it were a transaction authorized by, and done with the knowledge of the American Government, or should it now receive from them countenance and  indemnity, it is a transaction with respect to which his MAJESTY'S Ministers share the common feeling of the country at larzw, that the most prompt and decisive measures are necessary, for obtaining national reparation for what must ever be regarded as a most atrocious national injury.  After the Address was carried in the Commons, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated, in answer to a question from Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH, that the Commission appointed during last Parliament to consider of the best means of diminishing the facilities for counterfeiting Bank Notes, had made their Report to the PRINCE REGENT, and that in a few days he expected to receive the commands of his Royal Highness to lay it before the House. It was also notified to both Houses, previous to their rising, that a proposition would be 'forthwith submitted relative to the future care ofhis MAJESTI'S person, and to the arrangement of the Royal Establishment at Windsor, in the Lords on Monday, and in the Commons on Tuesday next.  Lord CASTLEREAGH still labours under the effects of a severe fit of the gout. His Lordship, in order; to pass a few days in tranquillity, as essential to his restoration, left his house in St. JamesePsquare, yes-; terday, for his seat at North Cray. The Duke of Gtoucitstis hunted on Saturday, in the environs of Versailles; with Mosstrua and the PRINCES of the Royal Family. Ris Royal Highness,, on his return, dined with the Kum.  ' A solemn service, in memory door late Quasts was celebrated on 21st ult. in the English Char pel, at St. Pctersburgh. All the English-were piescut at tLe ceremony in deep mourning.  iiiiiMino....__
