The proceedings .in the New Par
liament begin to assume a very in
teresting character. The debates on
the Droits of the Crown displayed
a great deal of profound investiga
? tioo on the part of Mr. Brougham,
and of acote judgment on the part of
his apponent, Mr. Canning. The
former contended that these funds,
In their application, gave an undue
influence to tbe servants of tbe crown,
and (bat they ought to be placed at
the disposal of tbe parliament; w hile
the latter held thai they formed, in
effect, a part of tbe royal possession,
fcnd that tbe crown could uot be de?
prived of them without, being shorn
of its rightful ludtre. The division
of the bouse, which was the first
lair trial of strength in the new par
liament, exhibited on the side of
? Ministers 273 votes, on the op
posite 6ide of the house,135, giving
an actual -majority against Mrd
Brougham's motion of 118.
The Gamette* de France states, I

It is also stated, that the inter
views between the Chancellor of tbe

standing on the part of -the latter,
that the five million* ate to be paid

Paris papers to the 11th of May;
state that there wen serious symp
toms of disloyalty M Lyons, where
the troops had refused to act against
the people.
Paris is very gloomy, and the
Boyal Family are evidently alarmed.
Tbe duke of- d'Angouleme has Ueen
openly insulted in : his tour to the
south; and an officer, bearing the
, written password fromthe palace of
Monsieur to/ the barracks of the
guard de corps, was attacked on
. Wednesday night by three assassins,
. desperately wounded and deprived
of the^ paper. His hiss, however,
being instsntly made known by him
tbo pass word was changed.
( - Another atrocious attempt against
the Royal family has been detected
end detested. Information of tin
Sot was received, and. a man named

regiment <4 lancers, of Bonaparte'*
guard, was arrested in the act of
setting fire to tbe materials Cor an ex
plosion under the windows, of the

qf them were found fifteen artificial
fireworks, similar tu that Which was

Parliamentary. ? The Liverpool I
Advertiser, in remarking on the I
Parliamentary proceedings, observes, I
"The distress of the country, and I
tlie langour and debility under whict I
commerce and manufactures droop, 1
have directed the minds of commer I
cial men deeply interested and pro- I
found ly acquainted with the interests I
of trade, to the system by which I
oar commercial connexions with for- I
eign countries are regulated. It has I
been suggested, that the evils ^ of I
which we complain might, by a I
change of system, be alleviated, if I
e mo veil ; petitions have been I
presented to Parliament by the mer- ]
Chants of the metropolis, and other I
commercial tow ns in the country, I
praying for tb&ifemoval of the nam- I
erous restrictions, and prohibitions, I
with which the trtNle between Great I
Britain and foreign countries is im- -I
peded and interrupted. Mr* Baring, I
the merchant, lias become the advo- I
cate of this free system of trade in I
Parliament ; and on Monday Jast I
that gentleman brought the subject I
under the consideratiob of the House I
of Commons in a luminous and con- I
elusive strain of argument. ? In the I
view taken by ibat boo, gentleman 1
on this subject, the House seemed I
generally to concur. ' Even Mr. I
itobinson, the:; President . of the I
Board of trade^ expressed his coo* I
viction tbat prohibitory restrictons on ]
commerce were founded in error, and I
calculated to defeat the object fu^ I
which they were intended. It was, I
however, felt and -acknowledged by I
Mr. Kicardo and others; that the I
existing system was so completely in- 1
grafted upon the commercial policy !
?>f the country that U would be inex* l
pedient to abandon at once the pro- 1
iubitory laws by which our foreign j
Trade is regulated, and that we guist I
make the advance towards the right I
path w ith caution end circumspection. |
i The petition wvas received, and the I
impression made oil the House on I
this occasions \*as certainly very I
powerful." I

Fats of the pilot boat Patriot. ? It
will be recollected by many of our
readers, ^that during (be lute war
with England, (he above named
pilot boat was despatched to Cbfcrles
ton for the purpose of brining to
lihi* city Mrs. Allston, lady of the
then Governor of Sooth Carolina,

1 boat ftk the purpose of accompany*
ling Mrs. A. on ijie voyage. From
Itha time they embarked ami sailed
[from Charleston, no tidings whatever
had ever been heard of the vessel or
lany one on board. It was at first
J supposed that the vessel must have
{been captured by a British crpijer, |
(but, after a lapse of time, thai bope
lwaa abandoned. Noiw irbstunding
[the weather was mild ami favorable

1 than that tl*j vessel roust have foutid

But the mystery is at length de
veloped^ for ihc honor of hurnau
nature, it were to be wished that tin
fc4s bad never been revealed, ami
that the following horrible tale bat!
been buried with the wretches who
told it.
A gentleman recently from New
Orleans, hat communicated to n
ftieud of the family of the late Mr.
Greeue, that two of the Pirates,
lately sentenced to suffer death at
New Orleans, confessed, that they
composed Par* the crew of the
j above Pilot Boat Patriot! that, after

near the shore, tliey rose upon the
captain and passengers, and con
fined them below? when they stood

I the passengers of a considerable
J sum of money antl plate, belonging
most!/ to Mrs. Allston, they launch
ed the boat aud scuttled the vessel,
which soon filled and went down,

I below ! The dreadful tragedy was
j performed in the dead of night. ?
I These wretches succeeded in reach
ing the shore with the boat, and had
I thus far escaped detection and puu
ishment df this horrible crime.

Sheffield Trade. ? In the English
newspaper?, the, SkegUti Mercury
of the ftd April, there fa a Well
written article op the Sheffield Trade,
which contains the following para*
graph:?
44 America ban long been one of
the most important ami valuable mar*
kets for our wares; hut inconse
quence of their commerce being fre
quently interrupted, together with
the misunderstanding and ruptures
that have taken place between tljtt
country ami this, has gradually
weakened our interest wit)) the Ame
ricans, and prompted them to turn
their attention to manufactures, hut
with what success 1 am ikH prepared
to say, though it is evident they are
jttirchasing large quantities of steel,
?*ady prepared for the hammer. ?
And it is not too much to presume,
that more steel has beeu e\pc(e<
America, within the la?t four ordr
years, from this town ami neighby
hood, than has been worked up ,
out own manufactories in the siu
period, which is en gendering anj
vift much to l#e regretted, and
' couuU for the decline in the Anw
can Markets, But^ in all probat
ity, the evil will not stop here;
is very obvious, that as they III
occasion for such large quautitie*
steel, have artisans to wo^1
up ; and, if successful, they v ,
not long resort to hlngland for I. \
material, but w ill make it tbcraseltt
and this is inorc probable, as the A
niericau government are about to pa
some very restrictive laws, whiA
if put iu force, will almost amount!
a complete prohibition. Thus
have beeiTpr^urina; the way to oil
