    MOVEMENTS OF THE WEEK . hMMM The reporled proposal to unite tbe North American colonies under a viceroy , with a Parliament to assemble at Quebec , excites general attention , and is said to be favourably received in flie colonics . The scarcity continues to gain ground in France . In Ee ' s tajri , frightful disorders have broken out . According to the National , the black flag of la Jacquerie is making its tour of Belgium . At Liege there were no troops to protect the town , as tbey had been sent

    against Ihe operative population of Verviers , where there is no garrison . The black flag has been hoisted at Stade , near Hoy . Four farm-bouses have been burnt in the cantons of Wavrc and Perwez by bands of mendicants . It is feared that serious disturbances will break out in Brussels In Germany and Hungary the famine is marching with rapid strides . Portu a . l tco , is threatened with the same calamity , a large portion of the country being left uncultivated in consequence of the civil war .

    The outburst of Italian feeling against Austrian domination , is assuming a threatening aspect . A general rising against tbe Kaiser is probably not far distant . , , The Russian despotism is following m the wake of that of Austria , in exciting the deluded peasantry to murder tbe nobles suspected of patriotism . Fearful massacres are said to have taken place in White Russ « .

    MOSDAY , March IB . HOUSE OF LORDS Smor Fibka & ms . —Emigv * tion —turd ST 4 KLET had three petitions to present , f which he wished to call the attention of tho house . Tt . t first was from the high » heriffand the whola ol the grand jury of the South Biding of Tipperwy , in reference te the unrestricted gale of firearms in that county . TIk petitioners stated that they viewed with alarm the unpie . cedented sale of arma at Clonmel and other placts , Muskets went being sold in Ireland in large numbers , at pek-es varying ivmn 2 s . 61 . to 30 s ., smo the vrmnufacturera of lHrmingbam were unable to make tlieir supplies keep pace with the demand . The firearms were purchased chiefly by labourers of thelowestgrade , andit was a common circumstance for boys engaged on the

    public worlu to purchase pistols out of their earnings .

'aid that by the failure mid disappearauco of the potato crop , G 00 , 0 £ r 5 heads of families would in future Be deprived of their usual source ol food . Nobody would assert that these could in maintained hi any system of Poor Law relief ; and therefore lie was baund to . eansMer what were iho measures which O'orernnicnt had introduced to enable this Poor Law to work in Irdwl . lie admitted that those measures wr re rood ro far as they wtnt ; but he insisted thi ' t tlicy WC 1 V

    j quite inadequate for the object ( or which they were propo > eu . Tho first of the measures proposed by Lord J . Ilussci : was theadtance of a million for the rccl ^ maiion j of wast-j lands . Vow he understood that the expense of j recloiiiiincran acre was abuut £ 8 , so that net more than 320 , 000 acres would lw reclaimed . He calculated that 3 , 000 heads of families would be mahitalned on this r . um ber of acres- » nd therefore 5 , 000 must te subtracted from the caa . 000 heads of families to which he h . sd already alluded . Lord J . flust-H had also told tb . house that he did notinteiKlto make any great inc « a « c to the usual giant for tmljnnfoB . He , tlarcl ' uie , iboueln that hs should make a liberal alloivance to the nobh lord , if he allowid him to subtract another 5 000 on the score of persons relieved by emi gration . Ho then look a succinct lien- of the relief wUeh Lord John Russtll

    would grant by his p ; aI , „ f extending fisheries , pi-., mo ( . ing public works , and producing greater employment on tbe smI oi Ireland by his loan to the landlord *; and iak . ing all those Jttn-s togelhu- , i , e couI ( 1 not ai . rivc at a „ y other conclusion tl . an tliis—that not more than 100 , 000 heads OJ families would bo relieved altogether by ths Government measure ? . That v . ould leave 500 , 000 heads ol fouiihc * . or a population of 2 , 000 , 000 of souls to be relieved —and how was it t « te done ? Nothing half so good had beui proposed fur that object as the railway scheme of Lord George Bentiuck , which had been rejected by the house to save a . Ministry which Lord G .

On that point he would not say mo > e , as he believed that after Easter an lion , gentleman near Mm , whose opinion , like his own , had been more end more streegthencd by reflection as to ibe iwcesslty of

The mosey spent by the government in Ireland had , m u i ; reotilesrec , been thrown away .- Everything that the Kovernraeut had done was faulty—all that it had conceived was unwise . Thousands of his countrymen had starved solely through its blundetings , and innumerable mischiefs had arisen from the mode in which it had misapplied its funds in Ireland . He despaired of doing much good by the " Irish party , " but if it did nothing

    more , it had effected some good in creating a kindly feeling between n portion of tiie Irish membera am ) several members in that house , who had seWum sympathised with them before . He deprecated the unkindly expressions which had been used by some Irish membeis in the house , nho had deserted tlieir country to save thtir party , towards others . He gave his assent to ihe principle Of out . door relit !; but insisted upon a poor law so constituted being accompanied by subsidiary measures , without wh'cU tbe Uxsrv that could be said of it would be , that it would be inoperative .

He was ready to admit , that if thev -were disposed to avail themselves of their prect-nt posi . tion , it w » s open fur tl cm to take advantage of it to avoid the payments alluded to in the other resolutions . But looUin - to the importance of the treaty of Vienna in other respects , and to the bt-ntfits which it was yet ca . paUeoi securing to Europe , be conceived it rreu . 'd b « the height of impolicy for tliis eoimtry to adopt such a course . He was not read y to admit , however , that the circum . staneesunder whieh the loan in qurslioa had been con . traettd had been e »« c ly stated b ySirW . Moleswoith and others , who asset ted it to be a debt chargeable upon this cmntry , in consideration of the n-ttttthm by it , alter tbe war , of tbe l . ii-nierly Dutch colonies of ihe Cape of Good

    Hop < . -rieinerara , EiSeguibo , and JJerbice . Ourretcnt . onof-these colonies could not be regarded in tbe lightof a purchase , but as exception to oar course in refer , ence t * other colonies , which had been restored lo Hoi . land at the eb .-s , of the war . The obligation under which wo cane to pay tbe loan was a distinct nnd independent ooliption . \ Sedid not covenant to pny as security for Holland . 1 he oli gntion was not to cease even in fhe event eu war between tho parties . Tl . e reason why this provision was insetted into the convention was , that the money which we stipulated to pay na to go to the private creditors of Russia and Holland . But it could not be supposed that this provision stipulated for the pavment of tke money , in the event of a war arising from any lV > tm <*_ Tib miliNt ^ nHA P Lt . . . — * cause . The maintenance of the

    states of Europe accord , ing to the arrangements of Hie Congress of Vienna wai one of the consider-tlom for which we became Labia to pay the money . It could not , therefore , be maintained that m the event of a war arising from a breach of the treaty ot \ icnna b y Russia , we would siiil be liable to pay . The eonsidei-ntww oli a treaty was the condition to a treaty-. Had that consideration in this ChBC failed t If SO , tho other parties to the treaty were nt liberty , if they chose , tv absolve themselves from its obligations , rnat consideration had in part been broken by Russia ; and England , if she chose , might avail herself of this breach . But the question still rein » in ; ii , whether it would be wise or even junto take advantage of it ? In dt-ciriing this question , thci should bear ia mind that

    Russia had snbst . uilially adhered to the treaty of Vienna , and that she still evinced a desire to maintain the general arrangement of Europe . Although , then , that tr .-aty had undoubtedly b . 'cn violated in one of its provisions , Europe had still too much to gain from its maintenance to justify us in easting it to the winds on account of the breach of it in rcfeivnoe to Cracow . The proper course for England now t . i pursue was to pass tho present breach by , snd to hold the parties to the treaty \ 0 a .: rict adherence to its IVUiailliug provisions . Ho trusted heeountr . vwo .. ldtaketI . edi Suiuedcourserecommendca to it by LoivlJobn Rasseil , when Europe and the world woudg , veIteredit for the maintenance of th . t fa £ Hhie-h hau . mr distinguished its foreign policy . If Mr Hume pressed his ft ,-a £ motion to a division he could not but vote for it , but in reference to the remaining resolutions he could not take any step to interrupt the eontinuid payment ofthe Busso-Dutch loan .

    Mr Cuiustie agreed uith those who held that , in voting for resilmimis like those now before them , the house would travel out of i * proper sphere . The question ior ha government t . i consider was , whethw a violation of Uic 1 renry of Vienna on the pan of Russia absolved Eng . land fi-om the pajnu-nt ofthe money in question . If it did , it was the duty of fhe government to withhold that F . 'T ' , ?'"„ Hu

    Mr B Escott supported the resolutions . Mr S . » miey had conclusively proved thattUc moucy foTm . rly p a t 0 lj «« ia was no longer due ; but , as a representative of the per . pfc of England who had to pay the money , he was ready , although it was no longer due , to vote lor its continued payment . He ( Sir B . Escott ) was astonished at the courss thus taken by ihe right non , member for Bute . The first half of Lord J . Russell ' s speech was also an unanswerable argument to show that the money was no longer due , and jet tho noble lord insisted ( hat the payments should be continued . Sir R , Peel had shown that , without an act of indemnity , this money could not have been paid by the Ministry in 1 ? S 2 .

    The act of that jtar plac-. d the p .-iym : nt of the money upon the ground that Russia should adhere to tho trecty of Vienna . She had violated that treaty , the money was no longer due , and neither ihould nor could be legally paid . This was called a pound , shilling and pence question , and it w : ' . s hinted that It would be shabb y and mean to withhold payment . But < herc were thrce kin ( lt of msauuess in connection with tl \ i & matter , It was in the first place , mean to refuse payment when tbe money was due ; in the next place , it was mean to pay it when it was not due ; whilst it was the consummation of meanness to pay it when not doe . under a servile ttat of foreign power ; 1 Mb money could no lonjer be paid »
