the bill were incidentally discussed by
Messrs. Gilmer and Alex. Smyth, in
favor of the recommitment, and by
Messrs Rankin* Walworth, Moore, of
A lab. Mercer, and Rhea, in opposition
to it. .
Mr. Ccok expressed himself satisfied
with the explanation that had been giv
en by the gentleman from Mississippi,
(Mr. Rankin,) and hoped the bill would
be adopted in Its present shape
The motion for recommitment was
negatived; and the bill was finally passed
and returned to the Senate.
ORDERS OF TIIE DAY.
The house then resolved itself into a
committee of the whole on the state of
the Union, ( Mr. Coudict in the chair,)
on the bill making further appropria
tions for the support of the military
Establishment of the United States,
for the year 1822.
The question recurred upon striking
out the appropriation lor the erection
of Fort Calhoun, on the Chesapeake.
The debate was opened by Mr. Bas
sett in opposition to tho motion. He
viewed the facts connected with the pro
gress of the work, and replied to the
observations made yesterday by the
gentleman from Kentucky, (Mr. Trim
ble.) He thought we were not de
parting from the economy of Jefterson,
but on this subject were following with
unequal steps the policy that states
man had recommended. lie dwelt up
on the calamities that might ensue tothe
country in the result of an unsuccessful
naval conflict with an enemy, if we had
not fortifications to shelter a retreat, or
to afford protection to our cities, and
expatiated at length upon tho peculiar
importance aud expediency of the fort
in question.
Mr Golden made a tew remarks on
the subject, which could not be heard
*bv the reporter.
‘ Mr. Baldwin did not rise to make any
remarks on the subject of the specific
appropriation now proposed, but only
to reply to observations of the gentle
man from Kentucky, (Mr. Hardin) yes
terday, and he explained fully and at
length the circumstances in relation to
the alledged excess of expenditures o
ver the appropriations of the last year.
After a few queries by Mr. Mallary,
and an explanation by Mr. Basset,
Mr. Sterling of New York, took the
floor, and adverted to the charge made
yesterday upon the secretary of war, oi
transcending the appropriations of the
last year; and upon the first clerk, of
participating in the contracts or the
works at the Rip Raps, and of injuring 1
the public interest thereby. Mr. S.
went into a particular examination of -
the subject, and referred to documents, :
by which be contended it \va9 fully i
shewn, that, instead of transcending
the appropriation.tthe Secretary of war J
had kept within it by more than fifteen
thousand dollars And in respect to the
chief clerk, J/r, S. remarked, that the
gentleman, (Mr. Cocke,) who made the
statement, was appointed in 1S19, chair
man of a committee to investigate the
subject, and had shrunk from the task
of reporting upon it. Mr. S. contended
that the contract was fairly made; that
the government tested the expense by
experiments; that the owners of the
ouarries were notified and consulted ;
that there were five bidders lor the con
tract; that the lowest terms were ac
cepted; and that the contractor after
wards refused to extend the contract on
similar terms.
Mr. Cocke replied, and stated the rea
son that the committee, to which the
gentleman from New York, (Mr. Sterl
ing.) had alluded, had not reported,
was owing to no indisposition of his.
bat to the fact that the other gentle
men appointed upon it bad not been a Die
to attend to the subject; and that the rea
son for not reporting had long since been
communicated to the House. Mr. C, also
replied ro the observations of the gentle
man from Pennsylvania, (Mr. Baldwin.)
Mr. Hardin disclaimed having made any
charge or accusation on any department,
but contended that the Statements he had
made were correct, and that the gentleman
from New York. (Mr. Sterling,) had mis
conceived the propositions he had ad
vanced. , . .
Mr. McDuffie replied at length to the
remarks made yesterday by the gentle
man from Kentucky, (Mr. Hardin,) and
took a wide range ot remark, animadvert
ing upon the report of the Retrenchment
committee, (so called,) which, he conten
ded, was altogether incorrect, and de
fending the character and policy of the
present administration in a speech of near
ly an hour
Mr. Hardin replied, in extenso, to the
observations of the gentleman from S. C.
(Mr. McDuffie,) and defended the report*
of the committee of Retrenchment, by ref
erence to a variety of documents and esti
mates. , . ,
Mr Smith, of Md. made a few further
observations upon the subject ot the pro
posed appropriation, and also pointed out
what he deajued to be an error ot 5tM,
000 dollars, in the report of the committee
of retrenchment.
Mr Whipple (a member of the commit
tee,) explained, and contended that the
mistake just pointed out, did not exist.
Mr. Rhea expressed his sentiments in
favor of the appropriation.
Mr. McDuffie rejoined to the remarks of
the gentleman from Kentucky, ( Mr. Har
din.) and reviewed the various top‘*c<» that
bad been introduced into the discussion.
Mr Hardin replied u the observations
of the gentleman from Md- (Mr. Smith,)
and also animadverted upon the remarks
of the gentleman from S. C. Mr. McDuffie.
Further remarks were made on the sub
ject by Messrs. Smith, of Md* F Jones,
Ross, and H. Nelson, when the committee
I
ro?e ami reported progress, and then,
The House adjourned.

From the Gibraltar Chronicle, March 1.
[Received at the Office of the Philadelphia
Gazette*]
H* E. the Lord High Commissioner ar
rived at Corfu from Malta, on the 28th Jan.
and shortly alter his return, (Feb. 4,) ex
tended to the first mentioned Island, and
to that of Paxo, the measure of disarming
the population, already carried into effect
in the other Ionian islands. The adop
tion of this measure in Corfu, his Excel
lency stated in his proclamation had been
delayed, because there existed no positive
military necessity for it, as in some ol the
islands, the conduct off the inhabitants ot
Corfu being marked with a disposition of
obedience to government. And yet, con
sidering the situation of the surrounding
countries, and the internal situation ot the
islands themselves, His Excellency in
order to secure the general internal
tranquility, and to give a final blow to
those scenes of individual atrocity, which
H. E was sorry to add, had been still too
frequent in Corfu itself, had deemed it ex
pedient (with the consent and advice of
H. H. the President and most illustrious
the Senate) to place the Islands of Corfu
and Paxo, for the time* under martial^ law;
with the reserve, that all the Civil C^ourts
should proceed in their functions- H. L.
further required that the inhabitants ot
1 every degree, should deliver up their arms
taking care to affix labels to them, by
which they might know them again; and
announced that as soon as the disarming
should have been completed, immediate
measures would be taken to return the
arms to the Nobles generally, and to that
large class of the people on whose loyalty
and fidelity government could depend, to
be held by them under express license from
government. In conclusion H. E warned
all persous attempting to contravene his
proclamation, that they would stand ex
posed to the rigor of Martial Law; and al
tbougu it was not ms inienuon 10 seiiu
troops into tbe count/ on this occasion, ex
pressed bis determination to march them
without delay into such villages, or dis
tricts as might attemp to evade the purport
of the proclamation*
The commerce in grain is to be thrown
open in the Islands of Malta and Gozzo on
the first of July next. Sir Thomas Mait
land’s proclamation, relative thereto* will
be given, in a subsequent number.
Malta. Feb. 12*
Intelligence respecting A.'y Pacha has
thb morning arrived from Corfu: accounts,
it appears have been received there which
represent his present situation to be immi
nently critical. The fullest reliance, we
believe* may be placed upon these accounts
and we therefore publish them.
The following is an extract of a letter
which has been received in Corfu from
Previsa, dated the 1st inst.
“All the outworks and forts at /anina
are taken, and in them a large stock ot
provisions has been found, which proved
of great value to the besieging army un
der the Turkish Seraskier, Hoursbid Pa
cha. Ali P cha got into a small well se
cured casement, with two of his women
and a few followers. There he sits on
barrels ot gunpowder with his treasures
ready to destroy himself in any dangerous
emergency. He has demanded to be sent
to Constantinople, having he says, two
most important communications to make
to the Suita', into whose hands he commits
himself. A courier has been sent to Con
stantinople for orders how to proceed with
him In the mean time, the Seraskier is
taking measures to remove his head quar
ters to Arto ; and he lately has executed
| two Pacba9 who served under him, for not
! making better »esistance against the
Greeks at Arta, and in its neighborhood.
I It is plain the Seraskier meditates an at
tack on Acarnania, and then intends to
pass on to the Morea.”
The following is an extract of a letter
from the sime place under a more recent
date, the fith ilist
“Ali is at length a prisoner to Hurshid
Pascba. Capt. Ducca, in the Turkish ser
vice, has jus! arrived from Delvina, which
place he left yesterday. He declares,
that, while at the Commandant’s house
there, on Sunday last the latter received
an express from Janina, to intorm him. that
on Friday night last, Aly was siezed by
Atanasi Veya, a Greek chief in his own
service and delivered over to the Turkish
troop* about W o clock
“ Ali was taken to Peramo, about two
miles distant, and kept prisoner in one of
bis own palaces- The seizure of his per
son was ihe eo isequence of an agreement
to that effect between Veya and Hurshid
Pasha; and, when taken, he had about 35
Greeks and 18 Turks with him He wa*
seized in an instant, and when he little ex
pected such an attempt; he was assured ol
safety for the moment, and of being imme
diately sent to Constantinople. He is
said to have had immense treasures near
him, and to have lately sat c nstaetly in a
corner of his apartment, with a quantity
of gunpowder under him, as we had lor
raerly beard.” [Malta Gaz.
Gibraltar, March 8.
Speech delivered by his Catholic Majesty
at the opening of the Cortes Extraordi
nary, for the year 1822.
“ The solemn opening of this new legis
lature is an act highly gratifying to me,
and 1 believe it will be equally so to the
whole nation which you worthily repre
sent, It affords an additional proof of the
stability of the Constitu‘ional system, and
of the security and confidence with which
wp proceed in the path which we intend
| ed to follow.
Political revolutions when hrst carried
j inro effect, are always attended with diffi
culties arising from the unavoidable change
which Ukes place in the fortunes, hopes
and opinions of the members of the State.
In the two years which have elapsed since
the Constitutional restoration, order and
tranquility, have occasionally been threa
tened by the rash attempts of imprudent
lo-n who are not aware of the powerful
influence of time and events—but the
Spaniards, so conspicuous for their good
sense 3nd constancy, u -»V justly boast ot
having defeated those looiish attempts,
thus offering an exam■ !e hut seldom met
vv«th in the annals ol Nations,
Our relations with t other powers held
out the prospect ofla ing peace, with
out tear of its bein disturbed ; and I
am happy to inform f e Cortes, that w hat
ever rumours have be spread to the con
trary, are utterly vo d of foundation, anu
circulated by inalev > ence which aims at
surprizing the unwary, intimidating the
pusilanimou*, and opening bv this means a
door for mistrust and disunion.
The internal state of the country can
not yet exhibit considerable improvements
as there has not been time to effect them
since the commencement of the new peri
od, and on the other bad, ameliorations
have been materially retarded by the great
and eotorious obstacles thrown in their
way. As far however, as time and the
means at the disposal of government have
allowed it, agriculture has been encouraged
industry promot id, commerce freed from
shackles, and all the sources of public
prosperity left unobstructed. The state
ments which my Secretaries of State will
immediately lay before the Cories, will
give an idea of Ihe state the several bran- \
ches of the Administration are in, and
make the Cortes acq uainted with whatever
bas been done tor the due execution of the
beneficent laws and decrees issued by for
mer legislatures.
It only remains for me to express to the
Cortes my confident hope, that their wis
dom and zeal will consolidate the work of
the public happiness, draw closer and
closer the bonds of union between the se
veral classes of the state, and by all means
! establish tranquility and confidence upon
immoveable bases.
In order to obtain such important ends
Government will, for its part, exert what
ever power it has received from the Con
stitution; and the effectual co-operation of
the Cortes, together with the fortitude and
prudence which characterize the Spanish
nation, will ultimately crown their unre
mitted efforts, ensuring for ever the liber
ty and glory of the country.
Answer of the President of the Cortes>
(Gen Riego )
Sire—On hearing from your Majesty’s
mouth the 9tate in which the sources of the i
public wealth are, the internal order of the
country, and the external relations, it
seems (hat we ought all to indulge the most
flattering hopes of future happiness.
And yet the difficulties with which we
are beset, the incessant machinations of
the enemies of freedom* and the resistance
opposed to every change, even by those
who are not averse from reform, point out
the necessity of great resolution and ener
gy to consolidate the existing system. In
order to effect the improvements already
adopted, the obstacles thrown in their way
must be removed with a strong hand.
The Cortes, Sire, without exceeding
their powers, will unremittingly labor to
overcome all these difficulties, and will be
sides, take into consideration whatever
your majesty may propose to them.
Intimately united with your majesty,
they trust, that they will secure forever
the possession of the liberties of the Spa
nish people. Raising the nation by this
means to the degree of prosperity which
she deserves to attain, they will the
same time endeavor to add fresh lustre to
youi majesty’s constitutional throne, and
will show, to the whole world, that a mo
narch’s real power and greatness exclusive
ly consist in the punctual execution of the
laws.
STILL LATER FROM EUROPE.
Norfolk, April 22.
The fine fast sailing ship Philip Tabb,
Capt. Wheeler, arrived in Hampton Roads
on Saturday evening last, in the short pas
sage of 36 days Irom Belfast, Ireland.
Capt Wheeler politely favored the Steam
Boat Hotel Reading &. News Room, with
the Bellast Commercial Chronicle of 25th
Feb. and 2d and Mth March; the Belfast
Irishman of 25th Jan. and 1st and 8th
March; the Belfast News Letter of 16th &
19th Feb* and 5th March, and the London
Evening Star of 4th ot March, for which
we offer our thanks. They do not contain
any very important news.—The London
extracts are to 6th March, but we have
strained our eyes in vain to find something
either in the proceedings of Parliament,
(which are to the 5th inclusive,) or in the
Editorial paragraphs, relative to the open
ing of our trade with the West Indies; a
measure which, late information from
Washington, authorises us to say, is confi
dently looked for there, (as we understand)
upon the assurance of late advices from our
Ministei Mr. Rush, at the Court ot St.
James. As the dates of our Irish papers
are not regular* it ispossible that some in
tervening number may bring tbis agreea
ble intelligence, if so, we shall shortly be
informed. The latest accounts from Rus
sia and Turkey, are by no means ot a pa
cific complexion; indeed, it seems to be
ihe general belief that the campaign will
open with the spring.
The most prominent articTes contained
in our papers are the accounts of disturban
ces in Ireland, and some insurrectionary
movements, which were exhibited at Tours
on the 24th February, by a party jheaded
by Gen* Berthon and the Ex-Lieutenant of
Artillery Delin; the particulars of which
we give in to day’s Beacun. ihe Ring
leaders, amounting to about 50,were how
ever, soon discomfited, aid their General,
who had fled under the disguise of a pea
sant, was closely pursued. All the threads
of this conspiracy are said to be known to
the government. Murders,1 house-burn
ings, pillage and excesses of the most hor
rific character, are multiplied to an alarm
ingextent in Ireland, and executions and
transportations as rapidly follow in their
steps. We present s black catalogue of
these enormities to diy, but they form only
a small portion ot the mass wbi«:h our Bel*
fast papers exhibit. The Lord Lieuten
ant and Council of Ireland had issued their
Proclamation under dale of 28th February
declaring the county of Kerry in a state of
disturbance, and warning the inhabitants
of that county to remain within their hou
ses between sunset and sunrise, under the
penalties ot the law to suppress insurrec
tions. fee.
1 A Vienna article of February 15th, says,1
•* A grand Council lias been held, at which
the Emperor presided in person. U is
supposed that the great affairs wfcficb en
gage the attention of Europe were dfecus
sed, tor alter tbe Council broke up, etpres
ses were dispatched to different Courts—
The opinion ot tbe probability of the con
tinuance of peace is less confident than it
has been. It is certain war cannot be a
voided unless the Porte accepts all the ar
ticles of the Russian ultimatum without
condition or modification.
It is stated in letters from the south of
Germaoy, that the erection of Greece into
a kingdom, in favor of tbe present King of
\\ iriemburg, a near relative of the Empe
ror of Russia, is tbe subject of very gener
al conversation and beliet in tbe circles of
Germany. It is certain that tbe cause of
the Greeks has been no where so much fa
vored as in Wirtemburg; whence many
spirited young men have been obtained.
t he subscriptions, though tar from consid
erable, have been however to a greater a
mount there than elsewhere. The contri
butions ot Germany in money have rather
disappointed expectation; and in Switzer
land the subscription has entirely failed.
The Prince of Orange is said to have ap
plied to the Emperor ot Russia for the ho
nor of a command in his army, in case of a
war between the Russians and the Turks,
which application is stated to have been
complied with.
A serious insurrection has broken out a
mong the Turkish troops both at ./assy and
Foczany against their commander Salich
Pacha. They insist that the heavy artil
lery shall be brought back from Braila and
Jassy; the Pacha has been obliged to yield,
and 100 pieces of cannon are ordered to
Moldavia. An account is sent to Constan
tinople, where this affair will cause great
sensation* The Turkish troops continue
to be reinforced in Moldavia, where they
are now 40,000 strong.

ported determination of the Chancellor ot
the Exchequer not to allow the reduction
of 8s per auarter on the stocks on band on

country markets into such a state of stag
nation that no sales of barley could be ef
fected; and (he barley trade in Mark lane
is completely paralyzed, for the malsters
would not buy a bushel to day, even at a
reduction trom 3s to 4s per quarter from

OF FRANCE.
We have received the Paris Papers of*
Monday and Tuesday. The internal stale j
ot France is evidently not a satisfactory *
one* Without adverting to what mayor
may not be the causes of the events which
are taking place* the fact is undeniable
that plots and conspiracies prevail to an
alarming extent. Nor is the discontent
confined to a particular district, bui we
hear of its breaking out in different and
distinct provinces. No sooner is cue at
tempt defeated, than another is made, and
if we may judge from the private acounts
we have received, these attempts are by
no means of that trivial and insignificant j
character which they are represented to j
be by the Paris Journals. At all events, -
tbeir number and repetition indicate a per* j
turbed state of the public mind, which, in
a country like France, where the elements
of party feuds, though dispersed, are tar
from being extinguished: cannot exist
without imminent danger. J he peril, in
deed, is the greater, because France ii lit
erally surrounded with the combustible
materials of revolutionary explosion.—
Spain, the North, oj Italy, and Germany,
are so many sources whence the torrent ot
; dissatisfaction to legitimate government
may receive inexhaustible supplies. In
the first of those countries, anarchy already
prevails; in the second, it is but coerced;
while in the third, there are anti-social
principles at work, which only wait the
moment for action, to develope tbe per
nicious character. Thus situated, Fiance
has not only to watch the movements
her own agitators, but to guard against
such a crisis as may knit into one common
confederacy those of her frontier states.

Copy of a letter dated at the U. S. Conn*
