Debate in the Houis of Gordons9 June 21rf3 respecting the Queen* {Concluded ) Mr. Wilberforce—I fhould on this as on all Other occafiuns, be moil happy to gratify the ddire of my noble friend, and I can have no objection in a private convention to tlateto hirn the outline of rny motion, upon the condition which one gentleman may with propriety exad from another. But I cannot ft ate it at prcfent in public, or throw it forth fo as to be by anticipation a t'ubjed to fpeculate upon. (Hear ! hear!) i have already faid that 1 have, from circumftanccs, been under the necefiity of varying my motion from what 1 intended laft night. There may, between this time and to-morrow, be circumftanccs ftill which may vaiy in fome degree the form of my motion, and in a cafe of fo much delicacy, my noble friend will fee the rieceffity of my proceeding with as much caution as pollible. ( Hear ! hear J) What patted Grtoe yefterday has ra;hcr confirmed me than otherwifc, in not going further into explanation. (Hear!) Mr- Tiernev. 1 am fare I am as anxiops as any perfon can be to prevent the necefiity of our being carried into this difculion ; but I have very great difficul¬ ties in agreeing to the poflponement called for by my hon. friend. With as much anxiety as he can have to get the bottle out of the difficulty, there 13 alfo fome- thing due lo its dignity—to a confuta¬ tion of the fuuation in which we have been placed, a fituaiiun which is perfectly unprecedented in parliamentary hiltory. (Hear ! hear!) A meflage from the King was brought down by a minillcr of the crown, foliciting our immediate attention to certain papers, which were by the fame minifter laid on the table. To this meffage we fent an anfwer, pledging ouifclves to take his Majtfty's meffage into our immediate confideration. Since that time we have had adjournments to fee if ihe unhappy differences which cxfft could not beadjuftcd for nearly a fortnight, and after being attended with a complete failure, the refult was brought down and laid on the table of pailiament. Now an individual member has taken up the mat- ter, and deiirestotry if he can reconcile the difficulties which the negociators failed to remove, and for this purpofe he calls on the houfe to fufpend its proceedings until he fees what he can do. My noble friend near me (Lord A. Hamilton) now fay* he has a notice which conned* itfelf in another way with this queftion. I fubmittothe houfe whether this is the way we fhould indecifivcly fuffer thi3 matter to fleep among us. Is this manner either refpedful to the crown or dignified to ourfelves ? (hear! h^ar!) Be the mo¬ tives which fhall govern hon. members in to-morow's proceedings what they may, or the parties whom they may, I now give notice, that if any further poftponement fhall be called for to-morrow, 1 fhall take the fenfe of the houfe on the further pro¬ ceedings in this bufwefs. (hcai! hear! hear!) Lord A, Hamilton—w I alfo beg leave ro give notice diftindly, that I will, to-morrow, move for the produdion of the Order in Council, in purfuancc of which her Nfajefty's name was erafed from the liturgy." (Hear! hear!) Mr. Brougham—4i I am fure the houfe will underftand the rc&fons upon which my hon. friend (Mr Wilberforce) grounds the poftponement of his motion, and aflcs why one day more ought not to be gi anted, notwithftanding what I admit, with my Right hon. friend (Mr. Tierney to be the great public inconvenience which attends fuff&uy ciff fliUs* i}«KttfciN I uuJeiiKand my hon. fiiend (Mr. Wilberforce) confiders that the fate of his motion will decide the alternative whether or no the houfe will proceed on the inquiry called for on the part of his Majcfty. One day's delay furely fignifics little, when we have to confider fo important an alternative. If my hen. friend's intentions fhould fail, or his views not he fulfilled, then we fhall have to go into the inquiry. I feci it nceeffary on the part of her Majelly, as well as the noble lord (Caftlereagh) has felt on the patt of his Majefty's govern¬ ment, to deprecate any further delay. And 1 do mod fincerely and fervently hope, that nothing which can arifc to¬ morrow will prevent my hon. friend from taking a decifive courfe reflecting his motion I can afTure the houfe that the Queen has the fame ftrong defire which is expreflcd on the part of the king, that this inquiry fhould be no longer delayed— (hear! hear!) Mr. Scarlett—" I merely rife to make oncobfervation, in confequence of what has juft fallen from my hon. and learned friend. He fays, that the fuccefa of the Hon. Gentleman's (Mr. Wilberforce's) motion decides one branch of the alterna¬ tive, whether or no we fhall go into the inquiry called for on the part of his Majefty's government. New 1 cannot think that the refult of that motion does decide the other branch of the alternative, viz. that we fhall enter upon that inquiry, for 1 am of opinion that whatever be the fate of the motion, the fort of inquiry propofed by his Majefty's minifters never can be adopted by this houfe. After a few words in reply by Mr. Brougham the order of the day for refuming the confideration of the King's meffage, wa3 difcharged, and an other order entered for refuming the adjourned difcutfiou to-morrow. regiment of Foot Guards, stationed in the new barracks in the Mews. A num¬ ber of causes were assigned for the in. subordination of the troops, and these we mention without pledging ourselves for their accuracy. It was said that deduc¬ tions had been made from the men's pay to meet certain charges lor the everlast¬ ing alterations which had been made in their dress—that their removal from bil¬ lets iu and about Westminster, where they have been accustomed to enjoy a number of little comforts* to the new bar¬ racks at the Mews, was also productive of much unpleasant feeling—and above all, the not giving the men some increase of pay which they had been used to have doled out to them, whenever employed on extra duty, as riots, the King's birth- day, &c. Sec. was mentioned as the im¬ mediate cause of the disturbance?. Be this as it may, it would seem that, for some days past, the battalion in question had exhibited signs of considerable dis¬ content— complaining generally of hard duty and bad quarters. On Thursday the 13th instant, these symptoms appear¬ ed lo have experienced some increase, probably from the extra duty of the day; and at the evening parade they became loo alarming to be any longer unnoticed. A report was therefore made, by the of¬ ficer in command, to his Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester, as Colonel of (he Regiment, and he lost not a moment in laying it before the Commander-in- Chief. In consequence, it was deemed expedient to change the quarters of the battalion ; and at ten o'clock on Thurs¬ day night, orders were issued for the march of the first division at four o'clock in the morning of Friday. The insubor¬ dination manifested itself almost through¬ out Ihe whole Of the night—some of the men (it is reported) iudu.gingthrmselves in rery free remarks on the arrival of the Queen, and on other matters of a public naturr. To stem this tmrent of misdi- rectvd ftfHtf, rtt *>ni> oMm k Col. S ■) mom and many other officers were sent for to (he Mews, in hopes tliPir presence might restrain the apparently turbulent dispo¬ sition of the soldi ry. Most of these Gen¬ tlemen were called either from Almack's or the Duke of Devonshire's fete : and they remained in the barracks, in their ball dresses, till the troops had marched. At four o'clock the roll-call beat, and in less than twenty minutes those appointed to march all turned out in marching or¬ der on their route to Portsmouth, They were marched up to Whitehall, and through the Horse Guards, where, we are informed, they were partially cheer¬ ed by part of the Coldstream l&egtmenl on Guard there, as they passed. They reached Hdunsl.iw in the regular time al¬ lowed for such a march, though we un¬ derstand they showed some disinclina¬ tion to obey their officers as they passed through Hammersmith. The remainder of the battalion followed on Saturday morning. ■---------- As respects another affair, we think that the least said is the better mode, ex¬ cept that we trust it will lead to some se- riuus consideration as to the present ex* tent of our military establishment. A more efficient militia and yeomanry, and fewer soldiers, have been the uniform cry of every patriot, from the Revolution, downwards, and will continue to be so, so long as the British Constitution is not a mere term of words without meaning. Let those who are conversant in history remember by whom all the Roman revo¬ lutions were caused, and how often the Pretorian Guards made and deposed the Emperors. It happens very fartttMff*|jF at preseul that there is no leader for the disaffected, oi the Government and Mi¬ nisters might have learned a lessou which they would not soon forget. We trust, however, that this unpleasant business has terminated, and we trust that the barrack system will not be extended. The first constitutional force in the country is that of the civil power ; and the last, and only to be resorted to upon extreme oc¬ casions, is the military. It is an unnat¬ ural feeling iu Englishmen to delight in standing armies, and to suffer the best security of the constitution, the militia, to fall into comparative disuse. There is certainly a great deal too much parade and nonsense iu the office of the Com¬ mander-in-Chief, and in the orders which 7 issue from it ;—there is a great deal too much both for good sense and good taste, and this evil, we fear, is grounded iu the very constitution of the office; for we see no such follies, committed by the Admi¬ ralty,—no such fopperies iii dress and dis¬ cipline ; but it is but candid to add, that we have always understood that the sol¬ diers are treated with singular humanity, and we feel persuaded, that, if any one of them still continues to he misled, they will, upon reflection5 see the baseness und meanness of returning the favour of the country with ingratitude- Of all our soldiers, the country iu general has taken a just pride in the general conduct and character of the Guards; let them not lose this well-earned reputation by any conduct unworthy, not only of the name of soldiers, but of Englishmen. As the Duke of Wellington was in town, uc think he should have been called upon,— he would have had more weight than the Duke of Gloucester; for the business ought to have been settled upon the spot, and a word from the Duke would have concluded it.— Hell's Weekly Messenger T'ie debates* are frequently very warm, anJ? -s uiual, extremely difordetly. In the debate yefterday on the Naval Ex¬ penses, m. Boyne de Faye recommended theto:a| abandonment of all the Naval preparation.—li was true, he faid, that under ;,0uis 14th the French Navy attain¬ ed to u height of fplendor ; but that ever finee wv. have experienced nothing but Na¬ val dlf&race and di^o&tcrs. [Murmers] He therefore begged the Chamber not to appropriate monies to build vefiels to aug¬ ment ttie naval forces of other powers; or to d. cay in the dock-yards of the king¬ dom. The Prince de Broglio,^ and other members, condoned the policy and re- nvirks .if the proceeding fpeaker ; and the former remarked that among the great IofTcs uf the French Marine, in the im¬ mortal battle of Trafalgar, gloty and honoui were not included. In an ellimate of the Army expenses, a reduction of 6o,ooof was made from the pay of the Marshals, and ot!:tr fupericr officers—One of thefe members remarking that thefe officers, by their extravagant living, let bad examples to the people; and that his motive in voting for the reduc tion, was to oblige them to correct this abufe. enormous mass of debt has brer, since in¬ creased by the late Loan.

Of this numbci cfpeciallyjs the, Pacha of 15 ip^dad If four other uriruly Pachas of Bulgaria join the-niclves to him, the Grand Scignor will need to have armies in Ana and Europe, to luhdue iliele different rcbtls. We are impatient to know which tif them the Porte will attack full, — it |\ robable, it will be the Pacha of Janina, who u -he mofl refolute of all. He has received in¬ telligence that the Porte is arming againft him. In confequence of this, he exercifes his troops every day, and is making fuch preparations for defence as the troops of the Grand Seignurwill find it difficult to overcome. Many ilatetmen doubt whether the Porte will fuccecd, efpccially it it is true, as fome maintain, that all Greece is devoted to this pretended King of Epirup, who v.nfh* p *o f-jnKrvo*. <^» Greek religion, and that ali the inhabitants of that country will joyfully pafs under his ftandard in order to get rid of the Turkilh yoke, a change which may caufe them to fall from Charybdis into Scylla. The Wechabitcs are again in motion, and have re-commenccd the war. They are, it is faid, Itill Itionger than before, and have begun hoililiiies by pillaging a great Turkifli Caravan, which was under an efcort. Several Pachas in the neighborhood have already received otders from the Grand Seignor to move with ftrong detachments and to go to certain places, pointed out to them. But their troops move with fo much difficulty, that even the JaniflarxeSj who for the moll part are here or in the provinces in the neighbor¬ hood of the capital, arrive but flowly. The Pacha of Anatolia was to have been required to pafs the Bofphorut with a conliderable army and to encamp in the environs of this capital. The o<her Pachas who have alfo received more precife orders, have already, without doubt, let out on their match {but the grand army is expected in the environs of Fhilipo polis where the different bodies are to unite.

Corfu, May 20* Till May 10 there had been no battle between the troops of the Porte and thofe of Ali Pacha.— It 13 not pofuively known where the Grand Seignor's army is to be found. Ali has not taken the title of king of Macedonia nor that of king of Epirus, neither ha§ he been baptifed. Thefe are extreme meafures to which he will not have recourfe till after having gained a battle ; and it is ftill quite un¬ certain whether even after 3 victory he would with to feparate his caufe fo entirely from all MufTulmen. It fecms that this report was fpread by the Soulietes and Parguinotes who have taken refuge at Corfu. The Pacha has made them propofitions in order to engage them to enter Epirus and ferve under his banners. lie fent them his offers by the chiefs of the Kleptes or Greek banditti, who have entered his fervice, and who were formerly chief* of Souli and Parga. But as the extreme petfidy of Ali is known, no one dares truft hi6 mod flattering promifes. They remember the adventure of G^* liofe, a Frenchman, who being invited to Janina, to marry a daughter of Ali, was beheaded juft as he was preparing to join the wedding feaft. It feeme that Ali had promifed the Parguinotes to become a Chriftian, but they do not give the leaft credit to this new artifice. It is quite certain that Ali Pacha has begun h'u defenfive operations by arrefting the richeft and moft influential people in the whole extent of hit provinces, tic Las done the fame with reirard to the Turks, and tlie citadel of Janina fituatcd \n the lake of ihe fame name, is filled with hoflages of this fort, who arc afl'ured by the Pacha in perfon, that upon the fitlt motion of their friends and relations in favor of tire Porte, they fliall be l'cwcd up in bags and throwen into the Tea. On the the other hand he has made an appeal to a!! thofe Greeks who live in the foreflsoron ihe mountains in a (late of independence, or rather, 1 ivage anarchy. Thefe men, known by the name off Kleptes, or robbers, (a f !ck of honor among themi have almoll all of mem entered the fervice of the Pacha, and their number is already eilimatcd at 2o;c.o men.

Kingston, I'jth August, 1820. Mr. Editor, I was at some loss to account for the long time taken up by Congress in dispo¬ sing of any great question, and asked a friend of mine if he knew the reason. Yes, he replied, there are a hundred Lawyers and each must make a Speech. Sometimes two or three exhaust them¬ selves in one sitting, but then other long* winded Orators occupy the floor two or three days successively. Some of our people begrudge these Congressmen eight dollars a day, but I think it is dearly earned bearing (he tedious and stupid speeches of the vlinnnd ignorant—their endless reprlitioiis—their coughing,squirt* ing, and spitting. The Members from the different States contend wiih each other, not so much iu the strength and cogency of their reasonings ris in tne length of their harangues. The British Parliament seldom adjourns a debate, and never above once or twice, so that the gravest question? are commonly de¬ cided upon in one evening, or in two or three days at tin* farthest ; but Congress were six weeks in deciding whether they should execrafe or praise a murderer, and at length they praised him at theexpence of national honour.
