Lord CAMTLEREAGH said, nothing was more easy than to make speeches against the employment of soldiers at home, or against any nth that could be proposed. But it was more licult to shear how the public service could go on without them. lie protested against the opinion that the cavalry at home was to be employed met ely for the protection of the revenue.

Mr. Mt nyn presented a Petition front Hertfordshire, unani moueh signed by a most respectable number of persons. He real' tied that none of the Ministers were present to hear the sentiments of the petitioners; that thi y might know the disap pointment occasioned by want of economy, and the existence of sinecure places, and the prayer to proportion salaries accord ing to the altered price of provisions. This petition had not originated in clamour. Though moderately and respectfully worded, it did not proceed from a less intense feeling of dis tress, for which there seas no remedy, but reducing salaries, abolishing sinecures, arid reforming the Civil List expenditure. —lrelerel to lie on the table. Petitions ;wainst the Property Tax were presented from Mit cham, ante various other places. Mt. Alderman C. SMITH said, that whatever opinion might be entertained of the tax, a deaf car ought not to be turned to the united prayers of the people. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' ACT. Mr. YAKIMA/yr addressed the House at some length on the subject of this Act, and on the many evils which he contended it bad produced, by holding out inducement to fraud on the part of the debtor; he described the various modes by which the act contributed to these frauds, and said that the tradesmen of the kingdom declared it war impossible to carry on their busi ness while the Act continued in force. The Hon. Gentleman said, it was not his intention to offer any amendment to the law ; Ise had nevertheless anxiously considered it, but had fotind it full of extreme difficulty. H:• therefore suggested merely, that it was better to get rid of it for the present, and leave the sub ject to the future consideration of time Legislature. With that view be moved for leave to bring in a Bdl to suspend the ope rations of the Insolvent Debtors' Act. Sir S4MUEL Romatv said, there could be no doubt that great frauds had been eon iiii itted, and the Legislature was toudl♦ called 'spent to interpose ; but it would not be wise for the House precipitately to repeal this act without considerable inquiry, and availing themselves of all the information they could procerc un the subject, in order to frame some more effectnal measures. He mov eel, that a Committee be appointed to inquire into the execution and results of the Act. On a division this amendment was carried by $2 against 71. Mr. Lockhart's Bill was therefore lost.

S;r S. lionitry moved the third readin4 of the Shop-lifting rill; and, in thing so, stated that there was at present, a boy under sentence of death, ‘N .se age did not exceed 10 years; the charge against him was shoplifting; and it was a very considerable time since any one had suffered death for this offence. He therefore did not consider that the life of this juvenile offender was in tiny immediate danger. He could not, however, help adverting to what had been stated in the public papers, as having Wien from the Recorder mi his pronouncing sentatiee on this boy, namely, that in future, ntienders of this description, however jnvcuik, would, if convicted, suffer the sentence of the law. The .ATTORNEY GENERAL, had no anthoriy, from any com munication which he had with the Records r of London, to say that >uch a declaration had not been made by him hut he was persuaded that it had not, and that the statement originated in souu• miqreprehension of what his learned and excellent Friend had said.

Vans's - TART 111,s eil the Order for taking into consider anon the Message of tl:e Prince Regent, and in respect to the intended marriage of the Princess Charlene of Wales with the Prince Leopold George Frederick, of Saxe-Cohourg. In a Committee of Supply, the Right Hon. Gentleman ob served, that having obtained with unanimity an Address to the Prince Regent on the happy occasion, he should antic: H ite no objection to the proposition which he was about :a mike, tor a suitable establishment for their Royal Highnesses, 'I I,e olkject of the House would he, to make a provision for onsir domestic comfort, commensurate with a beeoming s;ilendour, guided by economy. In submitting the proposition, lie hail two ish.;eets in view—the first was, to provide an annual allowance; and, in the next, though lie should not move it Mitneiliazelv, to pro vide for the outfit of the.r Roy Highnesses, so that every do mestic comfort slionol he provided, without the necessity of subjecting them to incur debts. In the first place, then, it was intruded to adow ti eir Royal H:g1111113e, 60.001. per annum, including 10,0001. for 11,1 Royal highness's pris y purse, that snot to be voted for their joint lives. 111 the owe of the death of Prince Li (mold, her Royal 11;g1iness is to reetive the whole sum ; and in the other case teither of which he trnst:.d wouid not happen), Prince Leopold :icing the survivor, he was to receive a elea- animal allowance of .10.0001. This ar rangement, he trusted, would meet the wishes of the House, and give satisfaction.— ( Hear, bear,)--It was intended by this arrangement that certain allowances received by the Princess Charlotte, for the maintenance of her present establishment, should be discontinued ; this would lie a saving of 30,0001. per annum. In respect to the proposed outfit, much would el,liend in future upon their bciug able to set out clear of the possibility of debts, or the necessity of incurring incumbrances. To avoid these disagreeable alternatives, and prevent a recur rence to Parliament, on account of the accumulation of iris!. gularh expences. it was proposed to give their Royal High nesses one year's allowance, 00,0001. calculated thus: 40,0001. for the providing of coinages, horses, wines, eke.; for dresses, &c. Ir their Roeyal Highnesses, IO,OOW. and 10,0001. more ft); jewels. In respect to the residence, at present it had not been possible to sole t a residence proper and becoming for the future Sovereigngof these realms. When, however, one should he selected, it miht be possible tbat another application would be made for fitting it up ; and he did not doubt that Parlia ment, with the same liberality they had shewn in agreeing to the Address, and would shew to the present proposition. • world evince their loyal affection in granting a farrher sum for furnishing the honse, &c. The Right Hon. Gentleman tilt moved,—That an annual grant of 60,0001. be made out of the Consolidated fund fur the establisiment of their Royal High nesses the Princess Charlotte and Prince Leopold, &c. Mr. TIERNEY had no hesitation in adding his congratulation on the present occasion. and giving his vote fur the sum pro posed, which he hoped was agreed to by the Royal Persons as a full equivalent for their wants. He hoped they would ad here to economy, as that would be the surest means of obtain. ing the future favour of the House. With respect tonic:MA*ol. for the use of Prince Leopold, in the event of his surviving his Royal Highness, which he hoped would not turn out to be the fact, he entirely approved of that provision, as all must, who had heard of his amiable character, a character width entitled hint to the confidence of the country, and which he was sure, mingle large, they would not think too large. Mr. FIirt:MANTLE entirely agreed with the vote; which, though liberal, he considered not more than sufficient for the Rovid Persons.

( H WAR OF THE FIRST MILI TARY DIVISION. A/ %RCN 6. TRIAL OF ADMIRAL LINOIS AND COLONEL DOVER. The Council met this day at 11 o'clock, in the Audi ence Hall of the First Chamber of the Assize Court, in the Palace of Justice. The accused hein! , introduced, the President, Lt. Gen. Count Lauriston said—" The Permanent Council of War, specially appointed to try Rear-Admiral Limos and Colonel Boyer, is now assembled ; I enjoin the audience to keep profound silence; the Judge AdvJcate will read the indictment, and the documents in support of the pro secution and the defence ; the text of the law is laid up on the table." The al nklKe-Advocate then proceeded to read the docu ments, wEich wt re very voluminous, and occupied the Court till six in the afternoon. They show, in substance, that on the 24th of March, the Count de la La Chatre, Ambassador from the King of France at London. sent orders to Admiral Linois to preserve Goudaloupe fim the King. On the 2d of May, Liuois acknowledges the re ceipt of this letter, and promises fidelity to the King. On the 18th of June, Col. Boyer, second in command, caused the drums to beat, and the tri-coloured flag to be hoisted at Point-a-Petre and Basseterre, marched to the Government-house, and gave orders to arrest the princi pal Members of the colonial Government, intending to tale the Government on himself, and to supersede Linois, unlee the latter should juin. Linois at first declared his intention to resign. On the 19th, Linois joined the revolters, and published a Proclamation in behalf of Buonaparte, refusing the as sistance tendered to him by the English Admiral Dur ham, and Count Vangimud, Governor of Martinique, fn the maintenance of the King's authority.—These &cot were notiiied in letters from M. De Guillermo, Intend ant of Guatialoupe, addressed to Count De Maces and other Ministers, tbr the Kings information. For the prisoners, it was alledged in defence, that they were loyal and well-disposed towards the King ; but were drawn away by the irresistible impulse of the peo ple of the colony, and the soldiery of the garrison, who had been inflamed by the arrival of the advice-boat L'Agile, beating the tri-coloured flag, and the intelli gence of nuommarte's triumphal entrance into Paris, and the universal recognition of his authority throughout France ; the retreat of the King, his dismissal of his at tendants, and other indications of his having abandoned his Throne and Kingdom altogether. The vessel bear ing this intelligence had been taken or stopped by the English cruizers in the West Indies ; but subsequently, by a fittal indulgence, allowed to proceed to her destina tion, where the intelligence brought by her pnaluved the calamitous effects to which Linois and Rover were obliged to submit. The offers of assistance from Admi ral Durham and Sir John Leith were refused, because the inhabitants were extremely hostile to the English ; and Count 'Hams had sent special instructions not to ad mit any fresh threes whatsoever into the colony without express orders from the King, with the countersign of Maras D'Aulps. The Captain of L'Agive deposed, that, Leing chased, by two English ships, he delivered to a fisherman two letters Jim Admiral Linois : he is sure they arrived sate. lie was shortly after detained by a frig-Ae, and taken to Admiral Durham, at the Stintes, who prehibited all corn 'munication between hint and the land, and obliged Lim to give up his dispatches. They were conducting him to Martinique, when the Admiral gave (inlets to releaao him. He made sail for Gnadaloupe, where he arrived on the 15th. Governor Limbs, seeing his tri-coloured cockade, received him badly, and parted from him ab ruptly, without opening his dispatches. Shortly after an Officer came and conducted hint on board his.vessel, 7
