In the House of Commons an extensive discussion on the State of France: Mr. Whitbread moved for information on the state of affairs at the Congress of Vienna. Lord Castlereagh replied at great length; observing, that, if Buonaparte should be established on the throne of France, neither England nor Europe could expect a moment's secure and settled peace. Lord Cochrane arrested in the House of Commons, before the Speaker came, or the sitting began. A letter from the Marshal of the King's Bench, informing the Speaker, was read to the House; referred to the Committee of Privileges; who afterwards reported, that there was no cause for further proceedings. April 4. Motion for leave to repeal the Assize of Bread: since 1797, the price of bread has been fixed by the price of flour, formerly, by the price of wheat: whence much evil was supposed to arise to the City of London. HOUSE OF LORDS.—April 7. Lord Liverpool entered into an expla nation of the Declaration of the Allies, made at Paris, in March, 1814, expressing the resolution of the Allies not to treat with Napoleon. At that time he had an army of 30,000: also, in the South, 50,000, under Soult: also, in Italy, a formidable army, much superior to that opposed to it-in addition, all the fortified places, of France, Italy, Hollaud, and the Rhine. Had the Allies refused to treat with him, the struggle must have been continued. Under these considerations the principal treaties were made, particularly that of Fontainebleau. Having accepted that treaty, Buonaparte was bound to observe it. It had not been broken by the Allies. The supposed breach of it, by non-payment of the revenue it stipulated, was a falsity: the time for payment was not come : the debts of the party too, left unpaid, were very great. If it had been broken, he ought to have called on the Allies, by which it was guaranteed, before he invaded, or troubled, France. To say truth, in his first Proclamation on landing in France, he does not profess to come in consequence of any breach of the Treaty; but to resume his Power. But, the Treaty stipulated his abdication of that Power. He acted in defiance of the Treaty. The French nation was a party to that Treaty: that nation did not recall him. I was, whether we should be prepared to meet all consequences ? He, therefore, moved an address, &c. Sir F. Burdett said, the people of France were hostile to the Bourbons had recalied Buonaparte, &c. &c. Lord Grenville gave his full assent to the Address. He wished to impress not on the nation only, but ou all Europe, the necessity of close union and alliance: on this depended the common happiness-the very existence of Europe. Marquis Wellesley and Earl Grey, were anxious to avoid precipitating this country tuto evils from which no man could foresee the deliverance. Motion agreed to: nem. dis. It is impossible to conceal the dangers that surround us: we have only the choice of a state of armed preparation; or of active war. It is not wholly a British questo tion, but a European question, that is before us. We have no disposition to drive our Allies to war, or wariike measures; we act with them.-His Lordship moved an Address concurring in the deep interest felt by H. R. H. in the events which had occurred in France, in contravention of treaties &c. The same subject was introduced in the House of Commons, by Lord Castlereagh, who observed-This has been effected in France by artifice and treachery; by the army, which is interested in establishing a military despotism: it does not grow out of the sentiments of the French people. It was not au act of the French nation against the King of France; but, of the French army, against the peace of the world. There could now be no peace, that could main tain the character of peace; the question * Mr. Fonsonby, opposed the Baronet. Better terms had been granted to the people of France on condition they should be governed by the Bourbons, rather than by Buonaparte; if then France recalls Buouaparte, she vacates those terms, and the treaty which sanctioned them. The Allies, then, are justified in resuming every right which they possessed previous to such treaty. We do not piedge ourselves to re store the Bourbons; but to be prepared for events. The proceeding is perfectly wise and proper. Mr. Whitbread, differed from Mr. Ponsonby: the ministers had declared war without authority of the Crown. The challenge was to a war of extermination. The Allies had proposed Assassination, to employ the arm of the murderer: their declaration places a man out of the protec tion of civil society. The fortune of the Bourbons was irretrievable; the war was a war of aggression against France. All France would rally round the person of Buonaparte. He moved an amendment continue the blessings of peace. Against the amendment 220, for it $7. Committee of Supply. The Chancellor of the Exchequer stated several items; among them an advance of 200,000l. to the King of France, He mentioned the Extraordinaries of the army, navy, &c. The various sums were closely examined and voted. April 11.--The American Treaty was taken into consideration. Mr. Davis moved an address approving it. Mr. Ponsonby complained of its delay. For the motion 128. Against it 37. April 26.-Mr. Grenfell moved for Papers to shew that the Bank of Engiand was unduly favoured in the profits it made by the public, and the share it bore in the public burthens. The circulation of Bank uotes had been $1,500,000: it was now 27,000,000. The profits, together with those arising from management of the pubfic debt, were 2,876,000l. per Ann. it was too great. The Chancellor of the Exchequer thought sufficient allowance had not been made for expences, in that calculation. Motious assented to. Several Petitions were about this time presented from various towns, &c. against the continuation of the Property Tax: among others one from the City of Lon don, couched in terms the house could not | and devastation over the whole surface of receive. On a division; for receiving the Europe. He trusted the common feeling Petition 50. Against it 107. of the House would be no longer outraged by advising any other relations with such a man than those of force and war. The object of the war was to destroy the power of the disturber of the whole world; and whilst the allies stood by each other in this righteous cause, he trusted they never would be abandoned by the English Government and the English people. • Mr. Ponsonby advised to peace: he had supported a former motion; but did not know that war was declared. * Mr. Wilberforce saw great difficulties on both sides of the question. Buonaparte was no changeling: he wou'd, as always laugh at contracts and paper engagements. After a discussion of gre length, the motion was negatived: 275 to 72. 2 The City of Westminster petitioned, &c. in the same style. The Property Tax Bill was proposed. Mr. Grenfell moved that it be an instruction to the Committee, to bind the Commissioners to secrecy. The Chancellor of the Exchequer objected; but Mr. G. relating an instance of indiscretion attended. with great mischief, the clause was carried. Ireland. April 28-In a Committee of Ways and Means, Mr. V. Fitzgerald proposed, 1st, to equalize the Assessed Taxes of Ireland to those of Great Britain; and, 2dly, to equalize the duty on malt in both countries. The increase in the revenue from the addition to Assessed Taxes, he estimated at 250,0001. but should take it at 200,000l.; the Malt Duty increase would probably be 260,0001. but he should take that also at 200,0001. Mr. Whitbread introduced a motion for preserving peace with Buonaparte. Lord Castlereagh in answer, observed; give him but the time to recognize his means, and you will see Buonaparte grasp ing at his former power with his former avidity. In fact, the character-the bad faith of the man was peculiar to himself. He would state in proof of this the contents of a document relating to the negocitions at Chatillon, which had fallen into his hands since that period; it was a let ter of instruction from the Duke of Bassano to M. de Caulincourt, the French negociator, dated March 19, before the negoci; ations had closed. An order that it should be burned was indorsed upon this letter. It was written at the time that Buonaparte made his hazardous movement from Arcis sur Aube, and directed M. de Caulincourt, to conclude a treaty upon their own terms, but to manage it so, that even after the ratification, the Emperor might be enabled to delay the execution of three specified points. The Emperor was, according to the result of the movement he was then making, to execute the treaty, or violate it even after it was ratified. But what were the three objects? why the delivery of the three great Keys of France. Antwerpwas this the key of France or of Great Britain? Mayence was this the key of France or of Germany? Alexandria-was this the key of France or of the kingdom of Italy? What more decisive-what more flagrant proof than this could be given of the bad faith of the man? These were the three points through which Buonaparte was determined again to pour a deluge of war May 19.-Conversation on a proclamation attributed to the Duke of Wellington, Government had no reason to think it genuine. It was a French forgery. | 2 Lord Castlereagh said the system now carrying on in France was one of falsification, and duplicity. Murat had balanced between the Allies and Buonaparte, and intended to adhere to the strongest |
