No auecessful effort had been made by the Bank of England, and he wished so know whether gray thing had been done, or wait likely to be doom I' lie Earl of LI VE R Pl3Ol. admitted that it would be a great advantage to prevent the forging of bank notes ' and that it was the interest of the Bank to prevent forgeries , but nothing had been done in the way of art which others could not imitate. The best measure had been adopted, namely, the drawing the ti. and C. notes from circulation. Lord KING said, if they compared the notes of the Rank of .England with the notes of site great north bank, the Bank of fiesnlientl. they would be found a most bungling production. NAVY PENSION 6 Beta..—Tire B A rl of LIVERPOOL snored the third reading of the Army anelaNavy Pensions Bill. Laid KING considered it a foolish bill, fur what could be more foolish than trio bitgain with the Bank, upon which it was establielial. The Mie4tere, when the funds were low, bad actu ally given the Bank an advantage which could not hoe been Mond in the nuioey mai ket. The last year might be truly called the year of dupes. The Government had been uuped by the Bank and the Bourbons. The noble lord concluded by a practi. cal joke; lie moved to lame(. by way of amendment, that a was Vie opinion of the house, that the present generation and posterity blight dense great bcochit from emending the principle en which the bill was founded. and therefore it was expedient that • the Vords of the Treasury be vested with the power to raise ten mil lions, by pledging the Sinking Fund fur WO years, anti paying the interest at the end of a century. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said. the whole question was, whether the terms on wh,ch the bargain was nudes were advan tageous. The house ought to look to contingent-ion- They might have borrowed money on other terms, but under all the cirr unistances he oensideted it an advantageoue bargain.

Ile took the opportu city of saying, that although there had been no opp iaitileir or. the part of Lie manufacturers to the bill, it was their intention to petition both houses, and state die situation in which they were pieced. it tees impossible to say that the laying a duty on toreign wool would not injure our own trade. Whilst our own reanufacturee, acre burdens l with duties, a facility ought to be afforded for the purchase of the raw inaterial. If any our thing more than another could induce Parliament to telleve the woollen trade, it was the present situation of Spain.

He doubted not that they bad been read with gamed disgust ; but he deemed it right to bring them before the lions*, to ascertain whether teei possessed, or not, that situation is Europe which they imagined they possessed. If they had not —Why It might he said now, as it had been ()horsed early I. the F . -reach Revolution, that the allies were more be ha feared than the enemy—because they were net against the eastern" of liberty, they were against liberty itself. Great streggles were made alter MS, and eventually Buonaparte was hd.sll, sulidued; but he wished that Engleud bad left the Prase! men completely to themselves—bad not aided ialsgelmuillUog upon them at the point of the bayonet. This adellifielloot had not long taken place when France contemplated and prepared for attacks on the regenerated constitution of Spain—that con stitution which the Emperor Alexander hid christened " Geri tiniate.". In 1820, however, that autocrat bad some aow lights on that constitution, and God preserve this country from those northern lights. (Hear! reel a laugh.) Now. the dis seations in Spain were s i oken of--dissentious that had been aotively (untested by France; but, did they forget that their own revolution of 1668 wax not consolidated whitest two civil wars. (Hear, hear, hear!) There might he two parties in Spain. but on one aide the commeesial and enlightened classes, science, were seen ; against the constitution there were the higgotted nobility, and some of the lower orders and the pea santry. lie complained against our government that it had absolutely done nothing ; nut that we had not been precipitated into a war, but that the ministers bad absolutely done nothing to maintain the ammeter and dignity of the country. The result of the negotiations had exposed this country to the ridi cule of the world. Our gerernsuent appeared to have knows nothing of what wee passing between France and Spaia. and France end Russia. How had such things happened? The correspondence had evicted him greatly. When the threat ened attack ow Spain wan mentioned by the Duke of Welling tee, Mr. Canning contented himself with saying Ned England " would be no party to it, conic wbat might I " Why bad not that minister deprecated the attack a why bad he not condemn ed it as unjust and impolitic., and in tiolation of all inteutaticrual law ? So long as the Monarchs of the earth combined against all those rights and privileges that were dear to was, they must be content to hear, at least for a little while longer, in the House of Committee, that they were tyrants. (Cheer.) He complained of the instructions given to the Doke of Wellington. Had he had at the Calves* one tythe of what be was allowed to have in the field, the present massacre in Spain on the part Prance would not be going on. He contended, that the hypo thetical questions were such as never had been poi to any country—to us, since England wee England. Lord Burleigh would have done more than ' Jake his head at it ;' tho' be had not beard that the Duke of W. ever shook his head at them. —The lion. gent. then censured the conduct of Chateanbriand during the negotiation, highly praised that of Spain, which ex Whited, he said. a consistent dignity, unequalled in the recent. unequalled. perhaps, in the ancient, history of nations. He re • probated the unresenting notice taken of the speech of the Xing of Frame and maintained, that if this country had menaced war upon France, instead of pursuing the system of cold neu trality, to which ministers were now determined to adhere, there would be no ground for discussion on this question.— With whatever feelings of abhorrence lie might regard the con duct of the French ministers to Portugal, in the course of the negotiations, be must admit that they bad spoke■ out to the ministers of this country., who were thus supplied with the means of guarding against the base attack upon the liberties of the Spanish nation. However others might feel on the question, he was convinced that the great monarchical iviSuence of the Cortinent would, in the event of aggrandisement, by the sub jugation of Spain, direct itself against the liberties of tinge:laud Island. Unexpected consequences often arose from the desigos of individu els. What might be the jaunt' of this contest, which was to decide whether Europe was to bezaerne one vast military despotism or not, be meld not tell ; but it might be. that what had been aimed at by a Buonaparte would be accomplished by a Bourbon in his dotage. He concluded by calling epos the Muse to declare to his Majesty that his ministers had not acted in conformity with the principles of the british constitution. and with the dignity of the crown ; and moved an address,, stating die regret of the House at the failure of the negotiation, declaring that that failure arose from the conduct of ministers, in not making a solemn protest against the system pursued by France, acc.---(Hear, hear.) Mr. S. WORTLEY rose to move an amendment. Ile did sot dispute the propriety of the censers open the conduct of foreign 'ewers, and particularly woe that of Frame,. which I had for three years been. certainly attempting to shut the door 'opium eivil liberty all over the world. Ile considered that crendact incomprehensible, fall of folly, and likely to lee attended pith complete failure.—But be geoid not agree in condemning the part ministers had, taken in the proceedings to maintain pence.

I gretted that the eodearuers to establish peace had proved abortive ; and that they were at all times ready to support his Majesty in vindinating the dignity of the crown.' Mr. T. WILSON, in seconding the amendment, said, that be had aseertaued beyond a doubt, that a large number of his constituents concurred io the feeling to reconinmed to hlioieters to adhere to the principles of strict and honest neutrality which they had commenced, and by which they bed exhibited evident consistency and fairness of eisartuder.—(A 1000, sod cries of lieu) Ile tall: *melt that not a einght segment had bees .. used therm—lf we threw away the scabbard we would be drawn into diSculty.

Vilukere, howev l it• be by arbiters, and te l e ttaliolis which were our allies, and might be so agile, should net he etigenatieed, as they had been, by scatterers, who, in doing so, had let down the dignity of debate. In that house such personalities should be avoided. (A Inogh, and cries of hear I) The line of strict neutrality was that which England should, in his mind, pursue ; as, in cafe England should be smiled, she ought to have her energies at her orter mond.

Mr. HUME presested a 'ethics from Aberdeen against the duty en stone carried coastwaye. 'l'he CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated, that it was Ma intention to propose that such a duty be taken off. Mr. ELLICE presented • petition from Ilsid„ewater against, the duty on coals. He hoped this duty would also be repealed. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, this was a more important duty, as it produced nearly a million, while that on atone was only about 23,0901.—He therefore could not now return so favourable an answer.

Mr. W. WHITMORE then rose and expressed himself de cidedly against the atuemiluent. He did not metro to say that the country ought to. have been involvedin war rashly, or that threatening language should have been held without following op such language ; but lie should support the address, because belied in vain looked for that manly language which our minis ters ought to have adopted—for that protest which ought ~) have at once been made against tlie atrocious infringement of public law contemplated and sow perpetrated by France against Spain. (Hear, hear.) England throughout had acted as the ally of France, for in all the letters where Fame could rot famish excuses, England appeared to be quite ready to assist in such matters. lie then read various extracts from the papers to illustrate such assertion. By such course our ministers hart promoted tire views of France. He regretted the vote he had given respecting Naples, as it now appeared that it was the commencement of a system of attack oa liberty, wherever it. might exist, beginning where liberty perhaps he in excess.— lf the attack succeeded here, there was too much reason to fear that such attacks might be carried further. Men who had power were disposed to abuse it ; and as the Allies were se anxious for aggrandisement, would they the lose opportunity t Had they never beard of partition I—A manly and independent expression of sentiment was required, and be trusted it would be assumed by that House in agreeing to the address. That address did not reqnire the country to be Involved in the war ; at the same time he leered that eventually this country would be obliged to take part in the contest,to side with the agg 4 against the aggressor.—(Hear.)--Ile was quite sure, that if it were required to p her honour and oignity, the country could sustain a war. Mc. DIESER° WE (a sew member) 'sapported the mead meat, and praised Lord Londonderry's instructions, note, istc• as doing honour to that noble lord's head and heart. We bad (as the extracts which he read showed) protested easiest foreign interference—we could do no more. That protest was given io explicit terms. Captain MAISERLY supported the address.
