TUE NATIONAL REGISTER.• conceiving that motion to he among the lawful arms of a minority aertinst an everbcarine majority. The attempt to restrain and limit the power of clearing the House of strangers would, if successful, deArov its it . tlepetnlcnce as to the public ; and any attempt to enter into a disquisition on the motives, or on the discretion of Members, ro moving the standing order, would destroy the independence of the douse within itself. Mr. S. Wororerr explained the motives on which he had, on a former occasion, moved a question of adjournment. He did not make that motion from the consideration of his having no audience to hear his speech. Lord CAST LERrAGn trusted, that the House would never he called urn to deliberate on the right of any Member to move an adjourn ment. The mode, however, in which that right was now exercised, was different from any ever before recoroled in the proceedings of Parliament. Ile would put it to the candour of the Hon. Gentleman, whether it was a prover proceeding ? Captain VYSE observed, that a Gentleman, in making such a mo tion, took upon himself the responsibility of involving the House in an unpleasant dilemma. An Honourable Member (Mr. Cochrane Johnstone) had declared, that he had abandoned his original motion because the gallery was cleared. He, for one, was therefore deter mined that it should always be so, whenever this motion was re newed. pi Mr. BENNETT enquired, whether, if he withdrew his motion of adjournment, the Honourable Member (Mr. Lygon) would also with draw his motion for enforcing the Standing Order ? Mr. OSBORNE recommended Gentlemen, who were in favour of the adjournment, to move for the rescinding of the Standing Order, which conferred the right of clearing the gallery. Mr. Wia moue\ o thought, that the existence of the Standing Or ders was essential to the independence of the House of Commons, both of the Crown, and of the people; a:though the indiscriminate exercise of them would he injudicious. One extreme naturally tended to produce another. One Honourable Member having de clared that he would clear the gallery, another declared that he would move the question of adjournment. In the course of his Parliamen tary life, he had known the gallery twice cleared in consequence of sonicthieg which he (Mr. \V.) had said. He, however, had not im meeiately declared that he would sreak no longer. The saute line of conduct he begged to recommend to the Honourable Mover of the original motion. Ha should also recommend him either to make his nvii,inal motion at once; or, if he did not choose that, to move that a copy of the Report be laid on the table. Mr. C. JoostsToNE said, he was anxious to cemoly with the wishes of the House, and should bring on his motion again to morrow. Sir C ittlYß r llzAancorr. explained, why he supported the ad puromenr. Captain VYSE explained. A fret' a era , of " go on !" Mr. C. louNsToNt rose again, and mentioned indisposition as an excuse fo'r his not proceeding till to morrow. Lord CAFTLYRTACH sail, that the Army Estimates stood for to morrow ; but that his Noble Friend, the Secretary at War, would not oh)ect to giving way tier the Hon. Gentleman's motion. 1 he edict Orders of the day were gone through.—Adjourned. FRIDAY, MARCH J.

SIR—I beg to acquaint you, that cruizing, in the execution of your erlcis, between liclieisle and the Isle Dieu, on the morning of the 23d instant, we saw a large brig on the weather beam, in shore of us, which 1 immediately cnaced. The weather being thick and hazy, we soon lost sight ; but clearing a little again about eleven o'clock, she was perceived on the weather bow working into the Isle Dieu. 1 untiutted standing after her by the help of tile kid, the log clearing MARCH 7. at intervals, to push through the passage between the island and tht main, should she have endeavoured to escape by that way ; but, getting closer in, we discovered her at an anchor under the battery of the island. I determined, if possible, in this situation, to lay her on board, and br.re up for that purpose; but the moment I did so she cut her cable, hoisted her jib and foretop-sail, and ran upon the rocks. The batteries then opened a heavy fire, and hulled us three or four times, and wounded the foremast badly, but without any other effect ; and in the course of that night and the following day the brig went to pieces. I have not been able to find out her name, or any other particular more titan that she was a French national brig of war, mounting '22 guns. I have the honour, &c. (Signed) E. GALWEY, Capt.
