Ihe noble lord im puted to his opponents a w ith to make themselves popular by run ring the prefint minilters down. On this head he had to obierve, that he and his friends did not deal in fiuecurts, and therefore this of fi i would not do for them. It was not the opposition in that hi.ufe, but the country, wdiich called for economy, as might be Tcn from the immeuce load of purchme t, beneath the weight i which their table could lcarcely (land, which had been forwarder to them front all quarrels, petition ing tor retrenchment and relief It was said, they wished to run a r ce in courting public favor. Now whit is the fact? The noble had givui notice of hs motion fora committee three weeks ago. One of the gentlemen opposite had then given notice of a motion for the appointment of another committee, and here the race began—and ought it to be a matter of reproach to In noble friend, that when he was about to mount his horle, an ot her honorablege.itleman thought proper to mount his nag too ? (a laugh) It now came out that the no file lot and cppofkt. the ught an en q airy bv a committee of the heufe, was one of the molt a arming things that cou'd be contemplated.

Ifi nad no confidence to vuthdiaw from the noble lord, as he had gi ven him none, but he thought they had not heard one of the speeches which he (lord C.) was in the habit of making in private, at thole drills, to which a chosen few were admitted, to whom those rnea fures were communicated, which were afterwards to come before the ho use. These persons were then told, when any objectionable r.ica fure was to h palled upon them— “ that it might not be so pleasant as could be wilhed,” but it was add ed, “ if you do not vote for it, you remove the government, and then what will you do ?” This terrible thre t had been held cut so long, that it began to lose its efredt. It might be seen from what occurred with refpedt to the property tax, that rniiiiiters would not very pre cipitately give up th air places. He would an!wer for it, the noble lord opposite, provided the house would let him, would be content to lit on the treasury bench till the end of time-—(a laugh) Whatever estab lishments might be voted by the houle, large or small ; array or no army, he (lord Cafllereagh) and his right honorable friend the chan cellor of the exchequer would (fill be content to remain the miniflers of the country, if only a corporal’s guard and a batik token remained at tfteir command. (A laugh) BRITISH PRESUMPTION. The nglus of this country are a gain infringed. At this moment, and on theie waters, where there could be rto real pretence of vviong, on tlicle waters, so lately brightened with the gloiies of Perry,is this new outrage committed. They dare to search our veflTels on Lake Erie, for delerters ! what right have they to do it ? there is n.i treaty whieh permits them— wouid rhey permit us the recipro cal right oi searching their vcfiels for out own defetrers r No—they would declare war firft. Well tlien—if not from treaty, is it from ihe laws of nations? In war, it gives them authority to tcarch out (nips for contraband goods, Ax. but they are not now at war—-there is no blockaded port, no contraband, no enemy’s goods. Even in the famous declaration of the Prince Regent, fie did not pre ten he had a right to go on board to Larch for his fubji Cts—but in looking for contraband goods, he fheuid chance to light upon his seamen, he might tnen take them They now, the?), go further in a time of peace, than he a (Turned to go in the fuat of war. They come aboard our lhips while there can be no contraband, and of course no pretence to search for it. The injury which is done us, is as firagra.it as it is gross. The de mand for reparation should be prompt, energetic, and decisive. (Rich. Tnq. yi inst Empire of Auftria* In the ffi ft volume of the Week, ly Register, page 118, there is a very valuable table, (hewing tha condition of the Anftrian etnpiree as to extent, population and reve. nue, at the period when her em peror. combined with o'hers, to partition France , and when his em pire was partitioned by France. To save trouble, and to have the matter before us in one view, it may be ufeful to give thelubftance of that table. Before her wars with the French republic, the territory of Austria contained 226 876 fquar° miles, had a population of 26,970,030 fouls, and a revenue of 48,244009 dollars. After being twice lubjugated by France, her territory was 130,740 square miles; population 15,519, 023 fouls, revenue 31 >999,572 dollars. Having 10ft—92,136 square miles of territory; 11,551,007 people, and 16,244,426 dollars, revenue. (nii.es. SUMMARY. An artic-e from Rome, is rather curious. It is understood, that the Court of Portugal, has, by its en voy at the Court of Rome., applied for the legal fupprefiion of the holy office of the inquifuion. The Ro man Catholic devotion ot the Court of Portugal has always been re markable ; but if this intelligence be true, it affords a strange con trast to the conduct of the Spanish monarch, who seems to confider the detestable and impious offi e of the Inquisition eifentlally necellary to the lccurity ot the Throne and the welfare ot his subjects. BONAPARTE . Capt Nichols touched St Helena and learned from the boarding of ficer of the government brig, Le veret, that Bonaparte was in good health, and principally engaged in writing a history ot his own life — The New Yoik Commercial Ad vertiser lu(peels that Bonaparte is rather maturing plans for his e scape, as he was exactly thus “ en gaged,” when he took French leave of the island of Eiba. Alas ! he was “ melioribus ohm aufpiciis.” Lord Kinnaird , in 3 letter to the earl of Liverpool, declares that there are now m France nineteen thousand prisoners for State of fences ! This looks like a renewal ot the horrors ot the Baltile. Has the government lorgoftea the tenth of August ? In South America, the arms of the patriots under Gen Boilivar, have been signally victorious, and the profpedts ot the friends of liber ty in that region, are brighter than ever. The Pittsburg Mercury contains a letter from Detroit, and a r.um bei of affidavits, all proving the fact that American vefl’ds on Lake Erie have been Doarded and Search ed by officers and men from an armed British vtfiel, un. er pre tc...e of looking for deserters. Gov. Cals had written to the com mander of the Br.tifti vtflel or. the fubjeCt, but his aniwer has not reached us. ( Trent. T. Amer. SQUALLY. A Harrisburgh paper states that the British government has (even armed vessels of different sizes, on Lake rie, and are about to build a frigate at Malden. ‘1 hey have for lome time past been engaging capenters from the States, at three dollars per day, to work at the frigate. Baltimore, July 8. Macedonian arrived.
