IfOr'SE OF LORDS, Widsesdav, M.w'2.

On the motion of the Eari. of the third reading of the Cash Payinent ilill' was postponed till Friday next. HOUSE OF COMMONS, May 2. ARP.fiST 'OR-HIGH TIlF.ASON. Lord A.

amilton rose to present a petition from Mr. James Glasgow who 'had been arrested on a charge, of high treason, and had never been brought to trial. He stated, that on the 9th of April, 1820, he was awoke in the night time by officers, who entered liis house with a warrant to'search for papers and arms; he was taken immediately to the police-office, and marched from thence, guarded by a file of soldiers, to the Bridewell, where he was locked up hi a solitary cell, with a stone floor, as if he had been the orst of felons. The object of petitioner, in making this appeal to the House, was to clear his character, which he had not been allowed to do by a trial in a Court of Law. If 'the Learned Lord did not make a distinct avowal of his innocence, he, (Lord, should feel himself called on to trouble iho House still further on the subject.

The petition was brought no, and o'n'the question that it be read, The Lori Advocate observed, that he could 'not avoid calling- the attention of the House to the time at whichTthis complaint -'made its appearance: this transaction took place, in. April, 1820, and eleven months had been allowed to pass before the present petition as put into the hands of the Noble Lord; During all that tiine the doors of the courts- iu Scotland had jicen open to the tct'itioiicr he thought himself aggrieved. As to tbe treatment received by the petitioner while in prison, he (the Lord, Advocate) was als'o' prepared to defertd it, as having beep marked ith.eyery degree of humanity. Mr. Mo.NTr.rrn defended the conduct of tlie civil authorities on the occasion of theTriots alluded to.

Mr. Hume said that he, heard with surprise from the Hon. Member opposite (Mr. Montetyi), that there were no deposition, but that the magistrates had acted uptWi-IetteTs, sowie anonymous antl some otherwise -somecontaiiiing false statements, others-true. Mr.

MosTr.iTii begged to deny having said any such thing. Happily, in Scotland, in times of iw.rij, tkiuu Ivoil been sOTm; TTOtrvTrfi whos'e remorse of conscience impeileiLthenv.tq give information of the impending danger in which-they were involved. 11 The Lohd Advocate of Scotland replied, that the, law of Scotland did not, like the England, r-quire previous depositions in eases of this nature. Mn. Humc, said it was deplorable to think frpin what had just fallen from the Learned.

Lord anv Scotsman could-be dragged from his home and. family, perliaps upon false testimony, perhaps up-' on the information those who had themselves excited a disturbance, and without.thc previous se-. curity of an oath to justify his detention. If any thing more than another called for a Committee, it was the. allegations of this No man was safe under such a power.

If this were to be Uie law of Scotland, it would not be safe for him to pay.a.visit to his country: (A lauglt.) The petition was laid on tlie table and ordered to be? printed. i' Ir.cncsTKR Gaol Mr. H. G. BnxsET rose to present a petition from a boy, Mohn Wheeler, only I 13 years of age, who was now a prisoner in Ilches ter Gaol.

This boy, having, been deprived of the i protection and care of his father earlyi had been in a most destitute state from'Vcri to twelve years of age. The petition complained of cruelties inflicted upon him in the gaol, and prayed that he might not be puni'died for thus --complaining-' of them. Sir Rosr.RT Wn.sos said he had' inquired of 5ir Charles -Bampfyjde, the late High Sherid of the Coun'y, respecting the complaints fonncrly pre sented, and found they were fully warranted. Mr. a Hunt was severely and cruelly treated, in that.gaol.

respect to Mr. Hunt, he would always say it was the man, and not tlie was punished. The petition was read and ordered to'Jie on ttie: tabje, ,1 The CiiAN-cnrxok of the EvciiEocnu mrrved that' the Htmsc resolve itself into aCommitfce of Colonel D.wiF.s rose to. submit the.

I.ordPAi.Mr.us roN said lie had never before heard so extraordinary a ground given for any motion as that which the Hon. Member had stated as the foundation of his. The motion was preposterous and unnecessary, and the House, by agreeing to if, would only stultify itself.

HOl'SK OF COMMONS, Tllsdav The CitASci.ixoR of the K.vcnr.i;i:u moved, that the report of the committee ot supply be brought up. It was then brought up, and some of tiie items were agreed to ithout any observation On the, resolution for granting 105,9131.

5s. I0di for the pay of the general staff, in Creat Britain being read. Mr. II. said, that it was the intcntiuu of an hon.

friend of his CMr. Hume) to submit to tlie house, its soon as whole of the estimates for the army, the navy, and the ordnance, had been reported, a series of resolutions, on the whoh of our military, expenditure. This, he (Mr. licmiut) thought, would be better mode than tluit of going now into the details of each item; for, trom the scanty attendance of house, it appeared as the house had become tired of the estimates. When the whole should have been gone through, the motion of his hon.

friend would embrace a comprehensive view tlie entire of our. military expenditure as compared with former years. The house had beeji now occupied with those estimates for seventeen days, and notwithstanding all the efforts that had been made on that (tlie opposition) side, a reduction of a single shilling had not taken place. They had passed great and small estimates just as they had been proposed by ministers, without the slightest deduction. Indeed, upon the amount they seemed to have been wholly indiffer ent.

He was satisiied, however, tliat though tlie house wastiiot ashamed of granting I'sdch immense sums, his Majesty's ministers were not now'uulitter-ent to them, and that we should never again, in time of peace, see such estimates. The CiiANCi.i.i-on of the F.xciii.qc rn said that the estimates had beeubroughtin on a scale suitable to the circumstances of the country, and the house had agreed to them without a single deduction and having the approbation of the house in favour of those estimates, it was not the opinion jf the hon. member (Mr. Bennet) which should induce ministers to change them. The resolution was agreed to.

On the question for re-considering the half pny, Colonel said that, in his opinion, the great body of the officers on half pay had been very ill treated, and the country had not been justly dealt with, in' having so; many new coinffiiiil-i'ions given while so large a body of men remained on the half-pay- list. Oh 'this subject he would take an early opportunity of submitting a resolution to the house. -The resolution-w liich' he SvouHd propose was One which had been earned- new. -com. in that bouse in the year 1740;" It was, th'at an humble address be presented to his praying that he would be -graciously pleased, for the present and future case of his Majesty and the public, to -employ in his" armV such oflieers on the half pay -rist a were still qualified to serve; Lord P.vr.Mi.Hs-i on said, that it was the intefltlon of his Royal Highness the commander in chief to fill up vacancies from the half pay, and to satisfy the cravings of the' officers on that list, as far sis it couhl bc done "-i The resolutions were read ad agreed to.

POSTSCRIPT. LONDON, Thursday, May 3. A circumstance, not yery usual now occurred yesterday afternoon, viz. the arrival of aiv'express from St. The object of it appears to have been chiefly of a commercial nature, as it relates to the state of the Exchange" between this coufttrv and -Russia.

Of late, this1 has been "a much more important subject than formerly, cspe- cialiy as it 'may no tuotiunx in some uegrec indicative of the intentions of 'the Rmperor A'utxanokii, with regard to the South' of Europe. The Exchange has-recently suffered -a verjr severe depression, being reduced to the rate of 9d. the rouble. Of course a reaction appears to'have beftn expected, and accordingly the express of yesterday evening brought advices of its having risen to 5-(i. In addition to this fact, it is mentioned as one of the causes of the elevation, that the Russian armies destined for the south of Europe has received orders to halt, and that theV had actually halted.

The report was believed at St. Petershtiyh, and the positive manner in which it was stated in the cvpress, induced many to give it credit in London, and to conclude, in consequence, that there was no truth in the statement, that the Sovereigns, who still continue at Laybaeh, had any designs upon Spain."
