Parliamentary—The editor of the Liver pool Advertiser, on tile 15th May, in remar king on the Parliamentary proceedings ob- lerves: “The distress of country, and the languor and debility under which commerce and manufactures droops, have directed the minds of commercial men deeply interested profoundly acquainted with the interest of trade, to the system by which our commer cial connexions with foreign countries are regulated. It has been suggested, that the evils of which we complain might, by a change in our system, be alleviated, if not re moved ; and Petitions have been presented to Parliament by the Merchants of the Me tropolis, and other commercial towns in the country praying (or the removal of the nu merous restrictions with which the trade be tween Great Britain and Foreign countries is impeded and interrupted. Mr. Baring, the Merchant, has become the advocate of this free system of trade in Parliament; and on Monday last that Geulleman brought the Subject under the consideration of the House of Commons in a very luminous and concltt- give strain of argument. In the view taken by that Hon. Gentleman on thi3 subject,the House seemed generally to Concur. Even Mi. Robinson, the President of the Board of Trade, expressed his conviction that pro hibitory restrictions on commerce were founded in error, and calculated to defeat tile object for which they were intended. It was, however, felt and acknowledged by Mr. Ricardo and others, that the existing system was so completely ingrafted upon tne commercial policy of the country, that it would lie inexpedient to abandon at once the prohibitory laws hy which our foreign trade is regulated, and that we must make the advance towards the. right path with cau tion and circumspection. The petition was received, and the. impression made on the House on the occasion was certainly very powerful.” Foreign News.—The following sum mary of the latest news from the Conti nent of Europe, we copy from Walsh’s National Gazette of Wednesday. Mr. AValsh, besides being well versed in the concerns of Europe, appears to have ex tensive means ot obtaining information of passing events. His sketches are inter- csting, and we think, in many respects, preferable to long and tedious tales. [-V. Y. Spectator.] We have read files of Paris papers to the 1st of May inclusive. They contain a varie ty of interesting matter in relation to the af fairs of Spain and Germany, as well as those of France. The French House of Deputies was occupied in the last week of April, with representations from Nismes and other parts of the South of France, concerning ultra- royal. st machinations, involving a very per nicious and seemingly well authenticated plan of popular excitement. A field of re crimination was opened in tile debates on tile subject, of which the principal orators a- vailcd themselves with the greatest mutual violence. The acrimony of party spirit in tile Legislature seems to have hern increas ed by the restrictive laws of the Ministry.— Air' Manuel, one of the leaders of the oppo sition, proposed ail address to the King on /the dangers in which the ministerial system / had involved the nation. Seural editors had ' been tried/ for violating the law of Censor ship. Am r tariff was also under discussion in fhe last days of April, and gave rise to much controversy in regard to the general pritvei pies of political economy and the true inte rests of France, in the case. Prohibitory du tics were loudly condemned by some of the speakers, on the same broad grounds upon which the wisdom of them is contested in this country ; Iwt, in general, a fixed disposi tion was shewn to encourage to the utmost practicable exlent, domestic manufactures k. H*e products of the French colonics. Among the imported article* which it was agreed to' interdict allege her, an observe Cashmere shawls, of unieli the imitation constitutes a considerable business in France. The in- crerete of the import on foreign woollens, with a vi< w to support the domestic fabric, which was represented fn be at the lowest eiili of depression in point of price, formed the chief topic ofinterest and argument. In the course of the debate, statements were made which exhibit France as partaking largely in tlie general domestic distress of Europe. The ministerial journals of Paris continue to put forth sinister reports bud predictions touching tlie revolution of Spain. The par ticular facts which they relate are, however, of an opposite augury. It Ls stat* d that in Valencia, the arch bishop preaches weekly iu tlm cathedral, in favor of the Constitution, and has given ten thousand dollars towards the exigencies of state; that the Bishop oi Segovia also preaches regularly in its favor ; that the Bishop of Salamanca has published a pastoral letter in the same strain—that the old members of the Cories are absolutely forced by the gratitude of the people to suf fer themselves to be re-elected, k.c. The manifesto of Ferdinand to the South Ame ricans, is published in the French papers of both sides, k. mentioned iu an article extract ed from a Madrid Gazette of the IRth April. We see no room to question its genuineness. A considerable quas.il; y of French books has been sold into Spain from Bayonne ami Perpignan, and the smaller towns in the neighborhood of the Pyrenees. It is boast- d that French political science and general philosophy will soon be abundant in tlie Spa nish book-stores and libraries. The newspaper articles and extracts of ette.rs from Germany, speak of a continued agitation in Prussia.—Her government is boldly assailed in numerous writings, some f which are imputed to the Universary stu dents. This corps really constitutes a for midable political sect. They are accused it, the Berlin papers, of being “ revolutionary nd their professors of inculcating upon tin m landestinely “ the most detestililc princi ples.” Among the foreign articles of the French iournal*, is one. w ich gives an ac-‘ count of an insurrection at Ah ppo iu Syria. The Pacha was driven out of tlie city, hut made himself master of it again in a short time, and on the day after Ins return, sent one hundred t{ fifty heads to Constantinople tn embellish tlie walls of the Seraglio. In the number of tlie. occurrence* which casually met our eye as iw glanced <m r the French papers arc the following r A species of “ infernal machine” was made to explode, on tlie 28th of April, in the neigh borhood of the roj nl palace of the Taileries. The destruction of the royal family is said to have been meditated—the Ultras impute the plot to the Liberals—the. Liberals de scribe it as an expedient of the Ultras to ef fect their general aim of an absolute govern ment. Count Voluey, who died in April of an inflammation of the intestines, was buried in all the Christian forms. His obsequies were celebrated in tlie church of St. Sulpiee in Paris. He has established, hy bis will, a perpetual annuity of WOO francs ns a prize, to be adjudged by the French'Institute, for the best memoir on tlie study of the Orieu- t ini languages. Religions missions are now organized ifor all parts of Franco. The Liberals complain bitterly of them ; hut the re-estahlishment of Christianity is not the worst of evils for any country, and the French government may be pardoned abroad, if it countenances that object. The French Consul General at Tangiers (Morocco) when taking a walk of mere re creation in the skirts of that city, was struck on the hack of the head, and nearly killed, by a Dervish, who assigned no other reason for the act than that he was a Christian Dog. In the list of French Prelates, tight are above eighty years old ; ten are between sc- enty and seventy-nine ; only three arc ttn- fifty. The whole number of Bishops is fifty ; of whom but seven were created sucli before the year 17110. The Duke ofTarentum (Marshal Mac donald) is appointed Major General of the. Royal Guard. At Grenoble,a proprietor late ly deceased, had bequeathed eighty thousand francs per annum to the Imspital of that place. At a grand entertainment given by the Bril- h Ambassador at Paris, tlie chief object of attention was a magnificent diamond collar about the neck of the Persian Envoy -a iresentto bis Oriental Excellency from the King of England, George IV., “ hy thr grace fGod.” A portrait of" the Defender of the Faith,” set in diamonds, was attached to tin collar. The celebrated Miss Edgeworth was on visit to Paris—a new book may therefore be expected. Mr. Biot, so distinguished in the world of science, read ht-fore the French Institute, at the April sitting, an elaborate memoir on the nature and causes of the Aurora Boreali which received the highest applause. The entertaining Memoirs of the Duke be Saint Simon arc about to lie republished from all the original manuscripts, hy his de scendant, General Marquis de Saint Simon Peer of France—Louis Bonaparte has dis- laitned in tlie public prints “ the History of the British Parliament.” published umfor his name.

The president, Bolivar, after attract ing the attention of the royal forces, by movements on the upper waters of tl Apttre ; and by frequent changes of po sition, ho made a powerful diversion in THE CENSUS OF 1820. Washington. June I We publish to-day copies of all the papers which have h. i n issued from the Depart ment of Stale as Instructions and Forms, ne cessary to the fourth enumeration of the in- habitnnsof the United States and t : eseveral Territories of the Union, and for the proper taking an account of Manufacturing Estab lishments and Manufactures throughout 11i« country. The act of the 14th of March last, which authorizes this Census has been al ready promulgated in tlie National Intelli gencer. The enumeration of persons every ten : rs, is a constitutional injunction ; obey ing which, the National Legislature hasbeen rctofore contented with a simple return of the free white population discriminated ac cording to age and sex, and of the aggregates on the oilier fiee persons and of slaves with out any discrimination whatever. This was ertainlycarrying the cnn.-titutional provi- ions into effect; yet it war nothing more.— In the year 1810, indeed, there was an at tempt, in connection with the census of per sons, to ascertain the amount of Itnnie man- factures *, hut the result was very imperfect ind quite unsatisfactory. Tlie public are aware, that government as been reproached with inattention to one or more leading interests of tlie community. This reproach not always uttered in a ndid or respectful manner, implies, in itself, an im proper demand. Those who urge it, ask ©tiling less than that Congress should be come. a party to promote one branch of na tive industry, without special reference to Ihe rights of other branches equally entitled to protection. The National Legislature however, can he of no party. All the inter- sts of the whole Union may justly claim their due share of consideration from the Representatives of the'Peoi.ln. Wise conclusions can only be drawn from .xaet knowledge. A truth foobvimts could not escape the attention of so enlightened a body as the Congress ; and'hence the census of 1820 presents a wide scope and embraces many objects of enquiry. 'The document transmitted to the Marshals appear to be as comprehensive as possible,-within the pro- isions of the law. The opportunity is thus afforded to agriculturalists, to manufacturers, and to the commercial class, to bring their numbers, and the value oftheir several pur suits, advantageously to the. view of tha Le gislature ; which, it cannot he questioned, when furnished with undisputed facts from every section of the Republic, will afford, to all three of those descriptions of persons, le gislative support, in tlie degree that eaeli, re stively to the others, may merit. It is difli- eult to coneeive how either of them with propriety can ask for more. I.etfhe individuals concerned, therefore, not he wanting to themselves ; but give, all tlie aid they can, by promptly communica ting correct information to the Marshals and their assistants. From the tenor of several recent acts of Congress, it is evident that our national councils are turning their attention more de cidedly to the cultivation off the productive industry and resources of tlie people of the United States ; n preliminary step in which is the acquisition of statistical knowledge.— Of this, Ihe enlarged views of the law au thorizing the further census, is a strong proof and another may be found in the provisions of “ An Act for obtaining accurate state ments of the Foreign Commerce of the U. States,” passed on the 10th of February last. It is by such a process of investigation that our statesmen will enable themselves to legislate with intelligence and precision, on subjects of internal improvement, and every point connected with national econo my and the public revenue. Disingenuous clamour and misguided zeal win, in this man ner, find a cure fur their turbulence and mi gry judgments, unreasonably directed against tlie constituted authorities, who cannot pos sibly have any other object in their measures than the general welfare of the nation.

The offer of the Bank of the United States, which was 2 per cent, premium upon the whole Loan, being the most favorable, has been accepted.

It will be recollected by many ot our readers that during the late war with En gland, the above named pilot boat was ■dispatched to Charleston for the purpose of bringing to this city Mrs. Allston, lady of ihe then Governor of South Ca rolina, and daughter of Col. Burr, for merly Vice President of the United States. Mrs. Allston was in a delicate state ofhealth at tlie time, and unable to travel by land. Timothy Gaef.ne Esq. of ibis city, an intimate ttiei * ofGovern- or All?toil’s family, proceeded toCharles- ton in tlie pilot boat, for the purpose of accotnp uiying fill's. A. on the voyage.— From the time Ihey embarked and sailed from Charleston no tidings whatever had on beard td the vessel or any one on board.—It was at first supposed that the vessel must have been captured by a Bri tish cruizer, hat after a lapse of time that hope was abandoned. Notwithstand ing the weather was mild and favorable for several days after the vessel I ft Charleston and such as to render her !o»r- nvystet ious, up to the present time, no o- tlier idea ot the melutichollv circunt- tancc had prevailed than that the vessel must have foundered tit sea, or run un der during a chase. But the mystery is at length developed -for the honor of human nature, it wore to be wished that tlie facts had never been revealed, and that the following horrible tale It id been buried with tlie wretches who told it. A gentleman recently from New-Or- leaus, has communicated to a friend of the family of the late Mr. Greene, that two of the Pirates, lately sentenced to suffer death at New-Orleans, confessed that they composed part of the crew of ihe above Pilot Boat Patriot l that after being at sea 2 or 3 days, and ne;ir the shore, they rose upon the captain and passengers, a ml confined them below— when they stood close in shore, and after plundering the passengers of a conside rable sain of tnom y and plate belonging mostly to Mrs. Allston, they launched tlie boat and scuttled the vessel, wliicb soon filled and went down, with the un fortunate inmates confined below ! The dreadful tragedy was performed in the dead of night. These wretches succeed ed in reaching the shore w ith tlie boat, and had thus far escaped detection and punishment ofthis horrible crime. None, of the Eastern Legislatures has pursued the course ofConuecticut touch ing the Missouri Question.

Much stir was occasioned last evening,, by a discovery, indicating a plot to rob the Philadelphia B.mk. This bank has beeir once robbed, (about four years since,) by a follow who conceived the design, and put it in execution, ofgetting into the vault from the culvert under the street. At Lh it time, lie entered the ewer in Market street, and groped his way about two hundred yards, till he came opposite Ihe vault. We have col lected the following circumstances rela tive to the present attempt; Monday, after night-fall, a person wre seen to enter the sewer in Hudson’s al ley, and, as the fellow who before com mitted the robbery had been recently released from the penitentiary, the cir cumstance excited attain. Yesterday morning guards were placed at all the outlets of the common sewer, & a search, was set on foot. Iu the afternoon, the persons employed to ransack tl)c sewers discovered mining tools, consisting of a. crow-bar, a mattock, and a shovel ; an umbrella handle, containing a dirk, and a small batteaux, that had been earned in from the liver; a bottle of spirits, a great coat, some oil, &c. Guards were still kept at the outlets lust night, ns it was supposed tlie robbers might be some where concealed in tlie subterraneous passages. It was rumored, that the wit ness to a person entering the sewer, identified him with Robinson, the rob ber above alluded to.
