NOV. 27. . • •• • • ;%lessrs. Ponsonliv, Tierney, Horner, and Whitbread, and Messrs. Bathurst. Wellesley Pole, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in which the tinnier complained of the state of ignorance in which Parliament was kept on the most important transactions. Mr. BATHURsT Mild it would be impossible now to enter into the details, without committing the impropriety of prematurely discus. sing in that House, what was then pending at ,Vienna, where they had a confidential Representative. The House then went into a Committee on the Army 'La. mates, and Lord PALMERSTON moved a resolution, that 204,386 men he. vo. ted for the land service of the year ensuing, which was agreed to. On moving a sum of 245,0001. to pay the tuillitia still remaining embodied, Mr. WHITBREAD said, the keeping of any of the militia now embodied was directly contrary to law. It was a very great hard. ship on the regiments which were thus selected; and it was desira ble that both the officers and men should receive some information on the subject. Mr. BATHURST acknowledged the hardship, but the necessity of the case was a sufficient justification The conduct of Govern ment in keeping up a portion of the militia was perfectly consistent with the Act of l'arliament. Mr. %Vim BREAD still persisted that it was not legal ; the resolu tion was however agreed to. Various (Alum sinus were moved, among which one of 1000091. to defray the charge of Volunteer Corps, was opposed by Mr. Whitbread aid Sir M. W. Ridley, who objected to continuing this force, %Olen the country was neither threatened with invasion, nor disgraced by internal commotion.—The resolution was withdrawn for the present.—Adjuurned. TUESDAY, NOV. 22 On bringing up the report of the Committee of Supply on the At my Estimates, Mr. WHITBREAD adverted to the conduct of our Government towards Naples, and read a document, signed by Lord *William Bentinck, in %%hid, it appeared, that the Government con sented to, and confirmed the Treaty eutere.t into by Austria wiih Naples; and insisted that if the Court of Sicily doss not agree to the terms proposed, the British Government were pledged to Sup port the Neapolitan Government. The CitarseELLon of the . EXCIIEQUER could not agree to this conclu , ion being drawn, but he felt confident, that it would he, found no engagement hati been made which it would be expedient to abandon. Mr. Scijeant ON;LOW obtained leave to bring in a bill to anleod the Habeas Corpus Act. His object was, in addition to the pow ers already. poksessed by the Judges, to enable them to issue Acts of Corpus as well in vacation as in term ; to enforce the re turn's by the parties to whom they were directed; and to decide upon the grounds of legality on which such returns were withheld; to discharge the parties on recognizance, if they thought proper; and to punish the pets ais refusing the return if: the ground of refu sal should appear to he illegal or oppressive. Col. PALMz•:tc said, that in consequence of a statement in tile Courier new: paper, published by authority, contradicting certain assertions lie had made in that House, with respect to the trial of Col. Quentin, he should, after the recess, again bring forward a motion on the saject. SPANISH PATRIOTS. moNutv, Noi. Mr. littzsT gave notice of a motion shortly after the recess. for leave to brin4 in a bill to authorise the Quarter Sessions to increase the salaries of Chaplains to Country Gaols. • Sir S. ROMILLY gave notice of a motion for Mo►ulav next, on the continuance of certain parts of the militia embodied after the expiration of the Ivar„ Sir J. C. lIIPPESLEY moved for various papers on the Catholic question. winch were ordered. Lord PALMERSTON having moved that the Army Estimates be re ferred to a Committee of Supply, Mr. WHITBREAD put a variety of questions, wishing among other matters, to know what was the state of our engagemeuts with Murat, King of Naples? and whether the unjust annexation of Saxony, and the system of spoilation now carrying into effect at Vienna, where sanctioned by our government? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER expressed his conviction that Government would soon have it in its power to give the fullest explanation of its measures and views; at present he should say, with reference to Naples, that he was unaware of the existence of any other engagement beyond a mere convention for the suspension of aostilities.—A long desUltory conversation took place between Mr. WittlennyAn moved, that an Address be presented to the Prince Regent, praying his Royal Highness to direct to be laid be fore the House Copies of all correspondence between Sir Jas. Duff, the l ritisli Consul at Cadiz, and Gem ral Smith, the Deputy: Go vernor of Gibraltar, and the : British Government, respecting cer tain Spaniards, supposed to have been delivered np by General Smith to the Spanish Authorities, agreeably to their reque,t.— He had ascertained that there . was an understanding between the two Governments, as to delivering lip those ho might fly to the British for protection, but it only extended to traitors, murderers, and deserters ; and even this engagement had not been closely ad hered to, for in 1801, the British Government refused to give pp a Spaniard who had stabbed a Judge while on the bench administering justice. The two Spaniards (Lopez and Carriell) whom General Smith had delivered over to the vengeance of the Spanish 'Govern ment, were, by. the Chancellor of the Exchequer, called libel lers;" but all that he had been able to ascertain of their offence was, that one was the Editor of a Journal which had contained some slander on the conduct of the British at St. Sebastian, and that the other was a man of great study, the author of a Hebrew Grammar, and a Treatise against the Inquisition (hear).
