P.A RLrfENVTAY INTEI,LIGENCE. ''l'e royal assent was given by commission to the Exchequer bills bill, the reciprocity duties bill, the transfer oft aids bill, arnl the Irish law courts' bill. The commissioners were, the LOnD CHAii. CEi.Lito, the Earl of SIlATFssBuRY, anid Lord REDESDALE. Mr. BtoGDEV and others, from the Commons, brought up the revenue inquiry bill, and the Austrian loan bill. Petitions respecting the condition of the Ncgroea in the WVest Indlies were presented by the Earl oF ROSEnEReY, from Spalding, in Lincolnshire; and by ljord KIXG, from a place which was not heard. The revenue inquirY bill was read a first time. AUSTRIAN LOAN BILLi. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY having moved the first reading of this bill, Lord HIOLLAND said, that it' the nobice arl (Liverpool) had been iri his place, he shotldl have expected from hin roine explana- tion oD the subject (tf this bill, the different parts of which varied so much that they did not seem to belong to the same transaction. Two loans, amounting to fi,200,001D., v cre stated to haie been made, and then a conivention far the payment of the sums d -.e bv 2.,500,000. was referred to. On referring to that convention, however, no men. tion was to tmee found of the sum lue bv Austria, bitt it vvas stipu- lated that 2,;00,fiOOI. should be accepted in lieo of all claims. It was qulte a nou .'equitur to call this a liquidation of the debt. He was certainly awvare tihat the transaction was a composition, but that did not appear oni the face of the bill. He therefore movedi that the bill be printed, that their lordships might have the oppor. tunity ot considering it. and removing the inconsistency. The bill wvas ordered to be printed. SOUJ'H AMERICA. The .MlarquisoflrANSDO rN rcse t-give nodcc, thathe would on M'tonday se'nnight bring forwvard a m tion on a subject to which hr had( already alluded, and for which, if any round were wanting, sufficient would be found in the papers wh1ct had yesterdaz been laitl on the table. Ilis intention was to move an address to his AMa- jesty for the inineliale recognition of the Governmmnts of theSpa- iiisl provinces of South America. Hlaving hoped to see the noble earl (Liverpool' in hi's place, he had come down for the purpose of :w4ing' tor somne other papers, which seemed wanting to comple6o the docmnents. WVhat he more particularly wanted was, a copy of the answer wilicl he supposed must have bect returned by the Snanish Gorernment to the last despatch oF I r. Secretary Cdnning, tlut lie should also wish to see copies of any communications which might have taken place on the same subject between his Majesty's Government and other Powers. But it was unnecessary for hini to say any thing farther, as the noble earl was not in his place. On Ilonday next, he should ask the noble earl some qucstions relative to these documents. Thc houise waYs ordered to be summoned for Mondayse'nnight.- Adjourned to..ionday. HOUSE OF LORDS. FRIflA. A
