I MPCRIAL PARLIAMENT. BOUSE OF COMMONS, JANUARY 20. Sir T. Turton observing a treble lord (Ho- Avick) in his pk.cc, wished to call his attention J to a few questions upon certain points of mu-j tcrial importance. lie tvas not aware of any j reserve on the part of ministers in regard to I the treaty concluded with America ; but if he understood the noble lord’s former answer to a o'uesuon put to him by a learned gentleman (Mr. Pereira! ‘ upon that subject, the noble lord had seemed to say that the point in regal and to j the treatment of neutrals was reserved by go-: vernment. He wished to learn, however, whether it would be necessary to blockade the Trench islands, and to intercept her trade be tween these settlements arid their mother country ■ This information he conceived to be necessary, indeed it was rendered so by the motion of the learned gentleman, as he iirmly believed the eaisience of an artful and insidious understanding on that point between l-'ranrc and America. The second question with which he had to trouble the noble lord, related to the export of specie which had taken place Some days ago ; and he wished to learn under what act or resolution of the house, such mu ticv had been voted : The lust question be had to ask, was, whether or not the noble lord was in possession of any information respecting Buenos Ayres, subsequent to that before tire public. Lord Ilowick replied in answer to the first question of the hon. baronet, that with respect to neutrals, the treaty between G. Britain and America would not prevent this country fiom disti easing the commerce ol ‘.lie cm. aiv curried on in neutral skips. lie should however de cline further explanation upon this subject at present, as he might be led into a premature discussion of the matters contained in a t reaty which had not yet been ratified. With re tard to the blockade of the French islands, the right of blockade naturally grew out of a state . war, and the enforcement of blockade depended upon his majesty’s directions.— This was a matter of prerogative with which the house had no right to meddle, unless upon very strong grounds of misconduct, on the past ©i ministers. With regard to the export of specie, the fact was, that the money so sent was the balance of the sum voted to t'nr; empe ror of Russia, on the first coal i ion between that monarch and Austria, against France. On the subject of Buenos Ayres, he was no: aware of any communication having reached government, which was not already before the public. bir T. Turton explained, and said, that the money just sent to Russia, had not received the sanction of at vote of the house. Lord Ho wick explained, that the money now sent was merely the balance of a stun voted two years ago. , Sir T. Turton declared himself perfectly Satisfied. NFAV-ORLEANS, February 23. On Friday last, Capt. Walter Burling, aid de-camp to General Wilkinson, reached this city, from Vera Cruz. Capt. Burling, we un bt-rstand, went * om Natchitoches to the city of Mexico, and from thence to Vera Cruz, where he took shipping for this place. What was the object of his mission, we know not, nor do c leant whether he bi ings any news—all we have learnt is, that wherever he went he was receiv ed with distinguished attention —and had an in terview with the viceroy. March 9. On Monday lust, before the District Court ©f tire United States in this city, came on the trial of Col. Lewis Kerr, on a charge of hav ing set on foot a military expedition against the Spanish possessions in America.” The trial'lasted two-days, and the jury, after a re tirement of only it few minutes, returned with a verdict of mt guilty. The cause had been tiled about a fortnight ago, in the same court, and lasted five days; but the jury could not agree, and after having remained out for four ©ays more, were discharged by the court; and anew jury was called. The last trial did not occupy so much time as the former, on account of an agreement between the parties’ to sub mit the cause to the jury on the evidence, with out any remarks of counsel on either side. An accurate report of these interesting trials, with the speeches of counsel on the first, has been taken, and will shortly be published by Dr. Daiezac. Friday last, came on before the United States .Distiict Court, in thts city, the trial of the hon. Janies Workman, on a charge of high misde meanor, in planing and setting on foot an ex pedition for the conquest and emancipation of Mexico. The evidence on the part of the U. States, having been gone through, Mr. Work man refused to examine a witness in his de fence, and submitted fcis cause to the jury with out argument. The jury retired, and in a few minutes returned with a verdict, not guilty. CHARLESTON, March 26. A gentleman anived yesterday from Ilavan na, informs us, that one of the Finish Cartels, from Jamaica, bound to Europe, with a part of the Dutch prisoners taken . t Curracoa, had ar rived at that Island. It was stated, that the : British commander had been compelled to en ter that ; ort by the pi Loners ; the vessel had been seized by the Spanish government and condemned; and tire captain l and been ordered to leave the place. The Spanish officers cx- : cum b them, elves for this act of outrage against ‘ the estubii ■ b cist- nos nations, by a* • urtir.g ; that the Br- irk L’’ rn .

Let us return j the compliment, and do justice to the liberal sentiments of the enlightened editors of this deservedly celebrated work. “The acquisition of I.onifnn.v is of importance to America in a variety of rtfnecls. Asa territorial enlargement, its value is by no means inconsiderable ; but as its poffefiion by the French would almost in fallibly have sooner or later difturbtd the tranquility of the United States, their exclusion is of much great er confequencc to the progreilive profperitv of those peaceful tegions, than any advantages reiulting from u mete augmentation cf the refuurcesof the Date. The un;on of LouiCana to the American provinces produced at firffi fon-.e refinance on the part of the Spanifli go vernment It war, however, easy to forefee,that such refifiunce would be of ihort duration ; for as the Span fib government has long cc-afed to etiercife the powers of independent sovereignty, the imperious dictates of j the French government would socu have commanded t unconditional obedience. Itvvcs net the lead of the ) advantages reletting from the purchase of Louisiana, 1 that the ftipuLred sum of 3,750,000 dollars was paid | to tfi -■ citizens of the United States for claims upon the •: Fc. tt h government, for supplies to the Welt-Indiaisl j anils, demurrages on ve.Tcls irom France, vefiels taken, ! at.-l not. reltorcd agreeably to a convention concluded j between France and the United States, and for l’upnlies j under contrails made by officers of the French govern ! meat in the United States. | “ The tranquility and prcgrefiive improvement of { the American dates present an enviable pidture of in ’ ternal happiness and prosperity. While the nations of 5 Europe are exposed to the danger of being involved in general warfare, peace, with all its attendant blessings, . diffufes its benign influence over the happy regions of the wcflern world. Inltead of puriuing the vaiu phan . tom of politics’ grandeur, the citizens of the United - States, by the Heady cultivation of agriculture and com ■ nierce, and by the gradual amelioration of interna! poli ‘ cy, are laying an extensive foundation for national J Vtrength, without engaging in Inch relations with other j powers as are likely to lead to its abuse, or to produce j any eil .lies but those which are calculated to promote | the r eal prosperity of the people.” Union Society. ! r * s HE members of the Union Socie f y are desired to jI meet at the City-Hall, on M< :tday tbe 6th day of i April next, at 10 o’clock in the forenoon, it being the t quarterly meeting preparatory to he Anniversary.
