The united abilities of all the honest part of the House of Commons, could not so incontestibly prove the necessity, the absolute necessity, of a reform in Parliament, as do the votes given in that House on Wednesday and Thursday last.—The fist on a motion of Mt. Lennard, for a Committee, to revise that lavish and exttavagant part of the Civil List, which applies to ambassadors and officers on foreign missions, and the second by Mr. Warre, on the recent appointment of Mr. H. Wynne, on an em bassy to Switzerland, at a charge of 1'..5,900 for the first year—both these motions were negatived by a majority equally triumphant to a bad Go vernment, and disgraceful to those who arc called the Representatives of the People—who, in other words, ought to be the very Echo of the peo ple's wishes--n-how they proved themselves to be what they ought not to be, the obedient minions to a Minister's finger is proved by the lamentable faet, that on neither of these motions did the minority consist of 150 Members. How will the County Members, who voted in these majorities, dare to face their Constituents—how, after having pledged themselves to support economy and retrenchment on every occasion, will they justify thus lending them selves to confirm one of the most shameful Jabs that ever was achieved, even by the present milli,. tens, (excepting always George Canning's appoint. ment to Lisbon)—how,aftcr having whined over and commisserated the ruin and distress to which the country is now a victim, and which bears more heavily on the landed than on any other interest— how will they feel when confronted with those whose welfare they were elected to promote, but whose very existence they would apparently coin. promise on the beck of a Minister, in the expee. tation of receiving something in return. " Lars should have good memories," and we should recom mend this old observation to the political conside ration of my Lord Londonderry ;—a few evenings ago, he, among others, supported the " necessary in fluence" in the House—yet on Thursday night he appealed to its votes as a proof, that himself and his colleagues have the confidence of the country. The fact is, and every day proves it more and more, that there is no reciprocity whatever between the votes of the House of Commons, and the wishes of t!:e People, nor will there ever be, while the majority of its Members are returned by a mere nothing of the population;—that the nation will submit to such a state of things long, we are not inclined to b' lieve—and as a moderate retbrm is the only way to avoid what we should much regret—we repeat that every enemy to revolution, ought to exclaim con• stantly and vehemently for A REFonta IN Pna• LIAMENT. Extract of a letter front Bombay, dated Oct. " His Majesty's ship Liver xsol has arrived here from Muscat. We arc sorry to observe that the crew have iuffered severely from the excessive heats that pervades the Persian Gulph at this season of the year, which have been this year more intense than usual. In addition to several seamen who have died, we are sorry to include no less than three of her lieutenants and surgeon ; names us follow : Lieutenants Fenwick, Gerrido, and BA with Mr. Alexander, the surgeon. Several of the officers at tached to the troops at Kilshmi have also died, viz. Lieutenant Le Blanc, of the first battalion Regiment ; Lieutenant Forbes and Rind, of the European Regiment. The weather for these some days past has been close and oppressive during the day, but the nights have afforded the usu..l de phanta squalls which indicate a change of seasni.— A considerable quantity of rain has fallen, mid re ports from the Uplands assure us that the grain crops have been placed in a state of security by this timely supply of rain. New York papers to the 7th of April, Philada phia papers to the Bth, and Boston papers to the fhb, reached us on Thursday morning last. The Royalists still remain in possession of the fort of St. Juan de Ulla, though it was expected to surrender soon. The Columbian Republic has issued a decree for providing for the widows and children of ail who have died in defence of the national liberty and independence, whether by the cruelty of the enemy, or by a glorious death on the field ci' battle. A Philadelphia paper contains an article from Jeremie, dated March I, which states a report that a squadron had arrived off; and blockaded the city of Domingo, and taken some flaytfin vessels. The force was said to consist of a frigate, a sloop of war, two schooners, and two transports with troops. On the evening that his Majesty visited Drury lane Theatre, one of the royal postillions was de tected picking the pockets of the public—he was taken to Bow-street, and is remanded till Monday next. IVe hope and trust that those Members of Parliament who voted against Mr. Warre's motion will support their character fir consistency, by rais ing a fund to defend the uqbrtunote young mall; and if his Majesty's Minister., and the Mr. Wynne, who is appointed our ambassador to Switzerland at at expellee of 5,9001. for the first year, were to con duct the defence in person, it would redound to their credit, as it would prove their commisseration fur a less fortunate peculator. The Russell, 74, will be launched from Deptford yard on NVednesday next. This vessel is constructed between the ports on Sir Robert Sepping's plan, and the decks are laid diagonally. At the stern is a bust of Admiral Russell, why commanded at La Hogue.
