TRADE WITH SOUTH ADIERISIA.—The Marig h ia DOW N E said he intimated, ten days ago, his int of a question to the noble Earl at the head of rreaste thi i p pecting the counts/Dial relations between arty United States of South America. It might known to noble Lord. that a British vessel, engaged in carrying on tea. legalized by a recent act of the British Legislature-aflame!, trade between Englandand the Settlements of So . - - had been captured by a Spanish ship of war, Spanish port, and condemned. It was important t tile iv / forest to be informed what was nipure of the between tlqk Governincot of Stealth This count America. respectiog a Ike trade. lle wished to it was the intention of his Maj.sty's Government independence of those States. and whether there derstanding between this Government and Old i. action to Bitish vessels carrying on Lona jilc tree. colonies. He also wielied to know whether measures taken to convince the Goveriment of Ai , ein of the inten Majesty's Governinedito li • sisitt erfecuril protect:oil 'hip* engaged that trade ? The Earl of LIVE 11.1•001. had no difficulty in giving * noise Marquis explanation on the subject. Who resix•ct to the CAW of the ship Lord Cullingwood, to which the noble Mar quis alluded. information was received some time ago of that snip having been captured on pretence of a violet on of t block ade of Buenos Ayres. and no time was lost on the of bils . Majesty's Governni in snaking a reprezentadon ot e cave.— If there had been a b roken blockade of Buenos Ayres, and the e a cord Coll/ngw 4 ood hat broken the blockade, the Spanish ship would have mien justified in pre.:enting vessels going in ; but it appeared there was no bluckade•—eimununication had been mane to die-Spanish Government. and tile a nswer was, that no infor• nation had been received from South ri merica respecting the fact. but enquiry would he made. With re'spect to the fiubjoct generally. lie was desirous of arming what the situation of trade renlly was between this country, Spain, and So...th America- - Ever 4nce the question of Spanish Colonial Indere-valence was raised iii 1801:1 and 1809, this mnuatry had enjoyed a .`rec trade with South Americas.' Until the restoration of the colontea ni Oil Spain, the trade of England to Santo Ainerices was to be fre.n— The navigation act not only legitimatized trade to and from Was' country in ships belonging to the South American colonies, but the ships of Old S;inin. As for as concerned the conti nent of South America, it was as open as the tradee any country whatever. Clic Marquis of LANSDOWNE, in reply, said it would have been more satisfactory to have heard from the noble Earl that the trade with South America had been legalized upon recent cngageinents with Old Spain, and that the latter had abandoned the colonies ; yet he was ready to admit diet t h e explanation of the noble Earl, stating, that the protection of the trade was in• tended, must be satisfactory; he should therefore only submit to tile n ible Earl whether it would not be convenient to lay the fonts of condemnation of the vessel before the {louse. The Earl of LIVERPOOL heal some objection to the produc tion of that paper. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE then said he should take the proper opportunity to move for copies of the communication made to the Government of Spam on the subject. as soon as the result could be made known to Parliament. The Earl of LAUDERDALE pos:poned the discussion on the Scotch Juries Bill. Lord AUCKLAND moved the order of the day for going into a committee on the Ale Houses Liragising Bill. Earl BATHURST called the attetion of the committee to the clause in page 14. The object of that clause was, that no publi can should be deprived of his licence unless a regular com plaint was made a e suinst him, and that complaint scut down to the quarter sessions. Unless he was found guilty of infringing the conditions of his recognize/wt. his licence could not be with held. It would be impossible, with the clause the bill, for any niagistrate to put dowd a licence. The publican under the chili e had the right of insisting upon the renewal of his licence, and be tore Parliament deprived the magistrates of wholesome controul, they ought at least to have a better seem ity for the proper conduct of publicans. As the bill stood, great difficulty would occur in taking cognizance of complaints, and no good would be done by going to the quarter sessions. The noble Earl a:so adverted to the increase of business it would occasion at the sessions, mind concluded by moving to omit the clause. Lord AUCKLAND said, lie considered the clause to which the noble Earl had objected the only one beneficial to the publican. If it was omit ed. the magistrates would still Stave the power to refuse licences. The nobie Lord concluded by declaring his in tention to support the ciaust/. The committee then divided on the question. that the clause stand port of the bill—the number* were—contents, 7—not con tents, 16—An ajo rit y against the clause, 9. The clause was con sequently omitted. The bill then passed throug h the committee. and was reported, with the amendment. to the Rouse. The other milers were dis posed of, and the Rouse adjourned. Tussuss . , JI'LY I. Lord F.StSItINE presented a petition tmm the //habitants of London and Wesuninster, in favour of the bill t. prevent cruelty to animals, whie:l was read and laid nu the talsle. Tile bills on the table were forwarded a ritage. Cill'ELTy To AXISIALs BILL.—Lord ERSKINE rose on the Order of the Day for the second reading of the Bill to pre vent cruelty to animals, and supnoi fed all the humane objects it had in view. After a few observations front the Lord Chancellor, the bill was read a second time, and committal for tii•morrost. Issue or re.: , IALL. NOTLS I: t tte—'fbe Earl of CAICSAR • VON said he did nut rise to object to the third reading of this gal, because he entertained sonic hope that the bill would throw small notes again into circulation, and give the country at least a chance of more pro n setity man the public could reasonably ex pect to enjoy Rapier the existing state of the cuticle/.

The answer would be, a knowledge on the part of the people in the disturbed dietrictsethat they could not by possibility pay enor mous taxes imposed upon them during the circulation of a paper currency. Thite e noble Lords who conducted the affairs of Go rernoknt were Bound to spew the evils ; at present the subject of complaint had been occasioned by other causes than those he had stated ; but it would be di licult to prove the whole did not proceed from a changed 4sweciated currency. If they tower to give relief to the countryrthey , must retrace their steps. It was insi.o,sble to go on without leinging the standard to the state it %is in when the country was not suffering under distress, which unhappily now was the fact. The who le produce of the land was nut worth the price of cultivation. Men, three years ago, worth thousands yearly, had been reduced so low that they could not pilaw interest of their mortgages. The present system, if continued, would go to the extent of confiscating the grea er part of the landlord's capital. The measure before the Home might afford ware relief, but it mould not do justice to the landholder. The Earl of IlVE'll'ool. spoke in answer to all the argu. menu of the noble Earl, and, of along discussion, the bill VHS read a third time. Adjourn •• • WEDNESDAY, ULT 17. ln O il INSURRECTION PIL L. Mr. Brt'gtlen, and others front the Commons, broagiit Aw e the Irish Insurrection Bill, which, on the motion of tile rail of Liverpool, was read the first time, a nd c,:se second readinseieted for Friday. The Ale Houses Licensing illewas read a third time and peeetl. The Scntch Juries' Bin, _ after some amendments proposed by the !tail of Lauderdale lied is e'en negatived, passed through a committee, and was reported. Earl GliOeVENOlt rose for the nurpose of moving an ad. &lees to his Majesty on the subject of the Greek hostages cruelly butchered by the Turks. The Lords Arco aware of e fat had recently taken p!ace in the island of Selo, anti the dreadful cruel ties pet pttrated upon an unoffending people. All tlu: brutal fury of the 'Turks had been let loose upen wretched victims, who tad been guilty of no crime. Tic Greek hostages taken by the Turks were confined in a fortrtss in Scio, while others were removed to Constantinople. When it appeared that hostilities was not likely to be commenced by Itits•ta, the'•freal moment was chosen to slaughter the unfortunate hostages. It was said that the British minister, as well as the ministers of other countries at Constan tinople, had given a pledge that those cruelties should not occur. That report had not been contradicted, and it was reasonable to suppose there had been a complete forfeiture of that pledge. He was not prepared to say the bloody and cruel act of the Turkish Government was a cause of war, but he contended that it ought to induce every Government in Europe to withdraw from such detestable persons. Governments acting upon the rot distend holy alliance, had interfered in the affairs of Italy, consenting to a cordon ranitaire upon the frontiers of Spain, and meddling in the efforts made by men to obtain Bee governments. It was hard then if they could not interfere for the protection of the Greeks, a much injured Christean people, bend nder the most intolerable yoke that ever disgraced suffering humanity , — If it were true that tile government of this country had shown partiality to the Turks, it would be a lasting sffgma on the British nation. The noble Earl had heard that a Turkish frigate had been sum lied with warlike stores in this country. If that eeort was grounded in truth, nothing could be more perfideotts. ire was no man of humanity who did not feel anxious for the auee of the Greeks. The struggle in which they were engaged must end in success and extermination. Every friend to civili• zation and public morals must wish to see a free government in that delightful country, which once was the States of Greece. The noble Earl concluded by moving, that ••• An humble address be presented to his Majesty,. praying he would be graciously pleased to order that there be la id before the house copies of despatches received from the British minister at Con stantinople, relating to the execution of the Greek hostages." The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, it was impossible, in the r em) discharge of his duty, not to oppose the • . In the case before the house, an act of cruelty and i ice had been com mitted by the Government of Turkey ou th own subjects.. An tact of cruelty . could net be prevented by .the interference of a British itimister, undoubtedly repreecntatlbn would be made et all times with that view. belt axgford would have been the last man to omit such inter& ;he Interfered, hot not on the ground of righe r hunitihity alma was his guide. It was too + xi true that scenes hadtske place horrible to humanity, but the noble Lord might rest the cruelty was not all on one side. With respect to the isian to, the first hotrors were commit ted by the Grtek. He • t say that, however, to palliate the conduct of the Turks. noble Lord hid mentioncil that a Turk: 1 frigate had been supplied wan annouietion in thls clumsy ; nothing could be more unfoundiel than that report.— There was, however, a vessel in our _ports whith had been a Turkish frigate. She was slot by therache of Egyptanterier to the insurrection in the Mores. Site was partly laden with rner ct.andize and curiosities ter the British museum. The vessel was :dimmed to be repaired in our ports, but aims and ammuni tion were positively refueed. With aspect to the Turks and the Greeks, this country had stood perfectly ntuter. Lord HOLLAND said, if the British minister had given a Ile he that the !imago -, :bold be protected, Parliament bad a .o postpont „ the bill was , the .. bring in a measure having precisely- the same object early next session? The bill was then ordered to be read A thid time this day three months. The Earls' LIVERPOOL said, that in fixing the second reading dtlfre Irish Insurrectio* Act for Friday next, he bed some doubts whether they could then proceed to business, that day be•ng the anniversary of his Majesty's coronation- Lord HOLLAND said, that if it were usual to keep the anniversary as a holyday. they must of course do FO now. :v . v s e • The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that he must try a • way Lack for precedents, as the anniversary of his late Maim* coronation never fell during the sitting of parliament. It was then nnderstood that thealebate, rt nonlaken on Friday, * would be on Monday next. I* *:. Lord SIDMOCTII fixed the noon Acts Bill for either w Friday or Monday. in the same manner. On the motion of Lord ERSKINE, the Cruelty to Animals bill wisairamitted, after a few urds from te Lord Chancellor, who raWed his observatied aillFthe third dading.—The report Was receives] and agreed to. The house then ;adjourned. THURSDAY, Just 18. Mr. Bmgden enciphers from the Commons, brought up the Leather Duties Reduction Ball, the Irish endowed Schools, and the Duchy of Cornwall Bill. *The Scotch Spirits Drawback Bill was read the third time and passed. The Annuities Memorializing Bill, after a few observations from Lord Ellenborough, was read the third time and passed. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY, in the absence of a noble vis count, postponed the second reading of the Prison Laws Consoli dation Bill until Monday. The house then adjourned. FRIDAY, JULY 19. The Scotch Juries Bill was read the third time and passed. The Insolvent Debtors Amendment Bill was read the second time, committed for Monday, and the Lords suninioned. The Irish Insolvent Debtors' Act Amendment Bill, and tits Leather Tax Reduction Bill, were read the mooed time, and also the ()itchy of Cornwall Bill. The Earl of LIVERPOOL laid on the table the second re port of the commissioners appointed to enquinkiarto the revenue of Ireland. The noble earl recommended this document to the serious attention of the house. The Earl of LIMERICK concurred in the recommendation made by the noble earl. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said, Ware report pointed to to any serious evils, the same ought to be met with a remedy. Earl DARNLEY again called the attention of his Majesty's , government to the stationery transaction in Ireland, and again urged the propriety of ample enquiry into that subject, which • had not yet been sufficiently investigated. • The Marquis of LANSDOWNE moved& resolution, pledging • the hoose to a renewal of the bill for regulating the graud jary • presentments of Ireland. This resolution was moved iu con ' sequence of a late bill on the subject basing been withdrawn, on the grounds of a want of information. The /1101100 was agreed The Earl of LIVERPOOL lose to move the er•cond reading of the Irish Insurrection Bill. The noble Earl observed that the slate of Ireland made it necessary last session of Parliament to pass, not only the insurrection act, but the habeas corpus suspension act. He was happy to state on this occasion that it would not be necessary to renew the habees corpus suspension act. With respect to the bill before the house, the despatches on the table received from the noble marquis at the head of the governine,pt of Ireland, alleged that considerable improvements bad been made in the stale of Ireland, which he ascribed to the operataiss of the Insurrection act ; and the noble marquis left room to infer, that if the hill was withdrawn it would pre vent progressive improvement. With the correspondence, such as it was, before Parliament, the house would not do their duty by the empire at large, and the quiet loyal inhabitants of Ireland, if they did not give the government the discretionary exercise of that power to which the security of property was to be sole .attributed. The uoble earl concluded by moving the second /leading of the bill. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE did not feel justified in of fering opposition to the passing of the bill, at the same time lie could not consent to give a silent vote on the question. While I r admitted that it might be a bill necessary for the safety of Ireland, be could attach no merit to it as sn isolated measure. — The noble marquis at the head of the Irish government stated in his despatches that the act had the elicit of restoring spe cious tranquillity ; but if it were withdrawn for a moment, that tranquillity would be disturbed. There was a deeply rooted sy stein of disorder in the society of Ireland, which could only Ire removed by coustitutionel measures, ha% in,r, a direct ten th-n(1 to ameliorate the condition of the people of that country. The people should feel that they bed not to rely upon the mercy of any Lord lAiofraant armed with unconatitational power, hut upon these OAR coust.tutional law.
