His Majesty, however, wasso much fatigued at tbe Levee, on the day preceding, tljal an attack of the gout was the consequence. Great I numbers had arrived at the Palace, before it was known that Ihe King was indisposed; indeed so sudden was theatlaek, that there was not sufficient time to announce the disagreeable intelligence until too late iu the day to prevent the assemblage of those who drove lo the Palace in the full expectation of seeing his Majesty. The following Bulletin was issued :— u The King is not able to receive company at the Drawing Room to- day; his Majesty having experienced an attack of the gout in the night. " HENRY IIALFORD.

WAR IN SPAIN. PARIS, Aran, 20.— The port and citadel of Guetaria have been taken by our troops. Two hundred men, among whom were two Colonels ami ten other officers, have been taken, together with five pieces of cannon, anil provisions, Il is said, that the enemy bavee> acuated Ihe i'oi t of Pancorbo, and that they have abandoned Burgos su re the 14th. Every where the French army meets with the best reception. Lieutenant General Baroti Bathol having re- ceived from his Royal Highness an order lo occupy the valley of Aran with the troops of his dh ision, has charged the Field Marshal' Baron Reynaiiil with that mission. He set out from Toulouse on the 7th with four companies i f the 45th regiment of infantry of Ihe line, arrived ul St. Beat on tlie 0th, and on the 10th, at day- break, entered that valley, anil occupied it with his soldiers An officer aud twenty soldiers who were there laid down their arms, and fled at the approach of our advanced guard. Our troops have been well re- ceived by the inhabitants, who regarded them as their deliverers. General Reynand was greatly- praised for the spirit and zeal which his suldin's manifested : they were remarked for their conduct and good discipline. Since the news from Bayonne of the I7t!>, no remarkable event has taken place between the Eb ™ and ihe Bidassoa. St. Sebastian and PuiupelHua continue to be invested, and the spirit of the Spanish population is as manifest as ever; \ viienev< r the French appear their enthusiam continues. Letters of the Mth, inform us, that I lie army commanded by iheDuked'Anjouleme, will icrnaia some time before the Ebro, " till the army, com. mantled by General Moncey, comes up; this delay being known, and the arrangements adopted in consequence, have prevented our having any news of importance for some days. The army of Prince lloheulohe is in Arragon, and will keep np a communication with Marshal Moncey and the Karon d'Erolcs, who will cnler Catalonia on the 23d or 24th. Accounts readied Lloyd's on Tuesday morning of the capture of a Spanish corvette, loaded with treasure, and bound for Europe, by the French squadron. The prize was taken into Martinique; This circumstance has created some astonishment in the city, as it shows that orders most have been given for the capture of Spanish vessels by the French Government early in February. According to positive accounts from Salonichi of March 13, the Greeks have made themselves masters of tbe important island of Thuso, at Ihe entrance of the Gulf of C'oulessa, from which timber is procured for the arsenal of Constantinople. Another expedition has landed at the foot of Mount Athos, and spread terror in the whole country between Seres and Salonichi. The occupation of this island, which is entirely inhabited by Christ- ians, is important, because from this point the Greeks may easily effect landings cu all these coasts, and alarm Macedonia. One of tbe Portsmouth waggons was robbed on Monday night week, on the road near that place, of several hundred weight of dollars. We under- stand the robbery was'official by a gang of If! thieves. Eight men are apprehended, with the waggoner, on Suspicion ; and, in consequence of information received from one of tbe prisoners about ( 10 dollars have been discovered in a stable at the Green Man. near Guildford, and another hoard under a turf on Godahning Peasomarsh.

HORRID MURDER.— As Mr. Joseph Bell, of Deal, iu Kent, was sitting at table on Wednesday evening, he was killed by a loaded gun fired from without side the window. Three persons have been arrested on suspicion, one of them the only son to the deceased, aged about 19 years ! Extract of a letter from Deal dated 20th April : — u In addition to the particulais 1 gave you relative to the late murder perpetrated in this place oil Wednesday evening last, I have now lo add that Joseph Bell, the only son of ihe deceased, a youth just turned of 18 years of age, has made a full confession of bis guilt. By bis own statement, it appears that on Sunday evening last, he conceived the horrid intention of taking the life of his father, and intended to have administered poison iu his food; not being able, however, lo obtain the poison, he pur- chased a gun of another youth ; aud about 9 o'clock in the. evening be look his station at the back of the house, aud deliberately fired through the window of ihe room where bis father aud mother were sitting hy the fire- side, and killed his father, who uttered bill one groan, the shot passing through his body. After having committed this horrid act, he threw the gun into a ditch, and joined two other young men, and spent the niglii in dissipation ; he returned to his father's house in the morning, apparently as though nothing had happened ; suspicion, however, falling upon him, he was laken into custody with his two companions. A Coroner's Inquest has been held on ihe body, and a verdict of " Wilful Murder" returned against the son, who has made an ample confession of his horrid crime.

On Saturday Lord Melville, accompanied bv Lords Darnley, Amelins Bcauclerk, Thanet, and Clifton, several Prussian, Italian, and Austrian Noblemen; the Prussian Ambassador; Sir G. T. Cockburn, B. Martin, P. Melville, R Seppingsj B. Hallowel!, and A Clnistie, and a very lai" ge number of the principal gentry of the counlvof Kent, went on board ihe Admiralty yacht, which was towed down the River by Ihe Comet steam, vessel, as far as Gillingham Creek, where they lay- to, in order lo witness an experiment with some new invented rockets hy Sir William Congreve called Anchor Rockets, the use of whit- IMs to assist ships in distress ou a Ice shiirtj or in any dangerous situation near land— or to throw a line across a river, which shall ti\ itself, and be made instantly available for the purpose of pontootiii'w. These rockets are provided with ab/ mt 10 yards of chain, lo which any rcquiied quantity of rope, of proportionate si length, is attached, having a small anchor at the head of ihe rocket, which lists itself on the opposite bank by the force with which it is projected; the rope is coiled up in a box in a now way, ready for use at any lime. The first rocket fired was one nf the smallest size, aud sent across Gilliugham Creek, a distance of about 100 yards anil completely succeeded. A rocket i. f ihe largest size was next tried, lo which a moderate sized cable was attached, which was carried half way across the stream, and failed hy the breaking of ihc chain which was not sufficiently strong to bear ihe weight of the cable when suddenly put iu motion by the rocket; two other nickels of a midilie size, with smaller ropes, were I hen fired, both of which suc- ceeded in carrying the ropes lo ihe opposite shore where ( he anchor fixed so securely iu ihe mud' that on an experiment being made to move the anchor by a number of men pulling on the rope the anchor held firm and broke. This invention of Sir William Congreve does him great credit. EXECUTIONS— On the 12th instant, Robert Gill & Jasiues liamsdeu, for the extensive burglary ou Mr. Blight's premises at Doncastcr, and steal ing property to the amount of £ 1,200, underwent the dreadful sentence of the law ou the drop behind York Castle. Their behaviour was such as became their awful situation.— Ou the 12th instant, William Bray, aged 20, was executed at Norwich, for burglary. LONDON— SATURDAY. Tuesday's Paris Journals arrived on Thursday. The follow, iog l^ lejrraphic dispatch as to the pro- gress of the French a- uuy had heen received :*— " PARIS, APRIL 22. Ci A telegraphic dispatch announces that on the 18th, our vanguard carried Logrono, which was defended by i> 0i> men, nnd that they took a General, two hundred men, a standard, arms, and baggage. Marsha) Oudinot is gn'ng to Burgos, his Royal Highness will remain sortie days - at Vittoria." The Morntenr givt » s a more particular account of the above dispatch respecting the action at Logrono. The Spaniards fight al all events, for, it is' oifScinlly stated, that the town was only carried after what is called a p'hetty smart action. — A a extra gazette is said to hav6 subsequently E- rived with itiievligeucQ. of t he entry of Ihe French troops into Burgos, uhere they experienced little, resistance. The nrtiflcry destined for the siege of St. Sebastian's had not It ft Bayonne, owing to the difficulty in procuring horses. At Pampeluna opposition was expected.— The Spanish King and Cortes continued their journey to Seville, where they were looked for on the 11th inst. The letters of Thursday from Paris are totally devoid of news, beyond the contents' of the papers of the day before. The only fact mentioned in them is, thai it was expected the Duke of Angou- lenie would halt at Victoria until the troops that had entered Catalonia had marched so far as to be able in some way to combine operations with him. The Duke, it is said, arrived at Vittoria amidst the warmest demonstration's of joy from the in- habitants, who went out to meet him, aud called him their deliverer., and the champion ot' the holy cause The bells were' every where rung, and fire- works Were let off in rejoicing for the arrival of the French.— Bilboa opened its gates at Zavala s me days ago. A French detachment on the 14th entered the extreme frontier of Catalonia, and took possession of Pu>, cerda, which had been abandoned the night before by the Spanish garrison and many of the inhabitants. The cargo of the Spanish Schooner taken in the West Indies by the French, consisted of 60,000 ounces of Gold in bars, 400,000 dollars, a d 500 bags of cochineal— altogether of the value of about half a million sterling. Sir R. Wilson, accompanied by a son of Lord Erskine, left town on Wednesday evening for Falmouth, w ith the intention of joining the Spanish army. The considerable rise which took place on Mon- day in the Corn Market, is ascribed to some very large purchases made by an..,• extensive capitalist for the purpose of forwarding to the French army. Rapid ommicnicafion~ Certain instructions, relative to the regulation of the Iime- keeper's, were on Tuesday last communicated from the Admiralty Ofiice, London, to the Telegraph, Portsmouth, and an answer received to them in one minufe. it is scarcely possible to imagine a system more perfect than this system of communication must be. POSTSCRIPT. LONDON, Monday jYigltl, Jpril 28, 1823. We have received this morning Lisbon Papers to'the- 18th inst which contain intelligence of much importance. General Rego seems to have quite as much as he can do, to keep the Coude d'Amarairte, aud his troops, in check. It appears from these Papers that the Royal Family of Spain had reacned Seville. The Gibraltar Chronicle of the 29th of March contains the following article of intelligence:— " On the 16th inst, the Spanish ports in the Peninsula and adjacent islands were closed against all vessels and effects belonging to France, Austria, Russia, and Prussia.'* We have received the Paris Papers of Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. The head- quarters of the French army continued to be at Vittoria on the 19th, and were expected to remain there some days. The Duke of Reggio, with his corps, had passed the Ebro, and occupied Bri viesca. He w as expected to proceed immedi- ately to- Burgos. On the 18th a division of the French army occu- pied Logrono, a town of Old Castile, seated on the Ebro, and about 150 miles from Madrid. The town was defended by nearly 1000 of the Constitution- alists, and it is allowed by general Guilleminot, in his dispatch, that some sharp fighting took place. The result, however, appears to have been, that the French were successful, taking the General who commanded, 200 men, one standard, and a great quantity of arms and baggage. The second corps continued its march towards Saragossa, while the third corps, under the com- mand of Prince Hohenlohe, forms the blockade of St. Sebastian aud Pampeluna. A private letter in the Quotidienne, dated Bayonne, April 22d, men- tions, that an advanced, guard had actually entered Burg- os.' Thus far the plan of the campaign, as respects both the belligerent parties, seems to verify all that has been said upon it, viz, that the object of the French would be to reach Madrid with as little delay as possible ; and of the Spaniards, to wait their arrival there before any serious operations were commenced on their side. What means of ultimate defence the Constitutionalists may possess, it is not easy to say ; but it woul# be absurd to sup- pose, that if they had not pie- determined at least to try their strength, they would have exposed them- selves & the country to the disastrous consequences of in vasion, instead of conceding- from necessity, and at first, that which they knew they could not finally withhold. Upon this ground alone, were there no other, we should say that the struggle will not commence till the French are near, or per- haps in, Madrid. The French Funds declined nearly one per Cent, on Friday, opening for the Account at 84f. and closing at 8Iif. 20c, ; but on Saturday they im- proved again, and the closing price of that day was aif. 50c. In the additional papers laid before Parliament on Monday evening., it. is satisfactory to find that the principles on which the present Cabinet acts in regard to the affairs of France, and Spain, are precisely the same as those which were stated in a confidential minute of the late Marquis o_ f London- derry to tlie Courts of Austria, France, Prussia, and Russia, in May, IS.•!)., immediately after the un- happy revolution in Spain. his document fully rescues the memory of the lamented Statesman from the obloquy with which it has been attempted to be loaded. It proves, that, far from' joining with despotic Powers to impose despotic prineipfcvs on the nations of' Europe, he strenuously laboured lo preventan interference with the internal concerns of Spain. The Noble Diplo- matist admitted, that the events which had then recently occurred in Spain had excited the utmost anxiety throughout Europe ; bat he said the British Cabinet was desirous to provoke as little jealousy of tbe Allies as possible in the minds of the Spanish Nation or Government; aud therefore advised that the Allies should abstain from charging any ostensi- ble conference with commission to deliberate on the alfairs of Spain. To this tiie Duke of Wellington added, from his intimate knowledge of Spanish affairs, that of all European nations the Spaniards were most jealous of foreign interference. Sir Henry Wellesley, so long, our Ambassador in Spain, concurred in these views • aud it was further remarked, that " there is no portion of Europe of equal magnitude with Spain in which such a Revolution could have happened less likely to menace other States with that direct and imminent, danger which has always been re- garded, at Least in this country, as alone constituting the case which would justify external interference." Upon these very same principles have our pre- sent Ministers acted throughout the whole ofthe late negociations : and in so doing-, they have shewn that though great personal changes have been made in the Cabinet, the spirit of ti< e Government remains the same. Lord Sidmouth, Lord Rexley, and Lord Londonderry, have, in the interim, been removed from their important stations ; the two former by resignation, and the last by death ; Mr. Peel, Mr. Robinson, and Mr. Wynn, have come forward : but. the foreign policy remains exac tly the same in the year 1823 as in 1820 They Contend now, as they did then, that the alliance of the Five great. Powers was an union for the conquest and liberation of a great proportion of the Continent of Europe from the military dominion of France: and that having subdued the conqueror, it took the state of posses- sion, as established by the peace, under the pro- tection of the Alliance , but that it never was in„ tended as an union for the government of the world; or for the superintendance of the internal affairs of other States. No business of public interest was transacted in the House of Lords this evening. In the House of Commons, at the tithe of our Private Correspondent writing, Mr. MACHONALD was addressing the House, on bringing forward a motion, relative to Our Foreign Relations, similar to that brought forward in the House of Peers, on Thursday, by Lord Ellenborough.— See 3d page.

Carey and Lea of Philadelphia, with considerable Additions relative to i. h-. New States of South America, Sp. on the merits of which we are induced to quote the following- opinion of a contemporary print:—" When the Folio, whence this Publication is formed, arrived from Ptiiladel. phia, we expressed our opinion of its great utility aud merits. ( See Lit. Gaz. No. 288. V That opinion is much enhanced by the Publication before us, which contains by far the most valuable con- densation of American Geography, History, and Statistics, which has issued from the Press. It is constructed on a comprehensive and excellent plan ; the Maps, Charts, and Plates are numerous and well executed ; and when all the modern infor- mation required by the changes and revolutions on the New Continent are taken into the account, we are free to say that this Volume is a very complete illustration o'f the important matters which it em- braces. Either for instruction or reference it is calculated to be a standard work." — Literary Ga- zette, March 29. After this unequivocal testimony to the merits of the Volume before us, it merely remains for us to state that its price is only 18s. while the original work from which it has been formed, sells for Six Guineas.

The Order of the day being read, for considering the papers relative to the late negotiations, Lord ELLENBOROUGH rose, and said it was painful to be compelled, by a sense of the duty he owed to their Lordships and the country, to unveil what appeared to him to be a shade on the conduct of his Majesty1*; Ministers in the late negociations ; and this feeling of regret was increased, when he reflected that a Noble Duke ( Wellington) to whom the external question, as it was termed, had been confided for adjustment, was deeply implicated in the result of the negociations adverted to. His Lordship then continued finding much fault with the proceedings of the Duke iu the recent negociatio:. s, and said he considered that the whole of those negociations were unparalleled in the annals of the country. The British Government had, in fact, done nothing which it ought to have done to prevent war.— The Noble Lord concluded by moving an - Address to his Majesty, offering- the thanks of their Lordships for the communication of papers relative to the late neg- Oeiations ; expressing the regret of their Lord- ships that the endeavours of his Majesty's Ministers to preserve peace had been ineffectual, at the same HOUNDS, bred with the greatest Care and Atten- j time representing that the course of negotiation • " " . st celebrated and best Blood and | had not, 1 . the judg tion from the most < Six Brace of capital POINTERS, SETTERS and SPANIELS, perfectly steady and well broke.~ Many of the above Dogs are of a very valuable Description, and merit particular Attention ; they are the genuine Property of JOHN MYTTON, Esq.; and will be Sold without Reserve Also, at the same Time, will be disposed of, a anient of their Lordships, been Valuable Stallion ( ECLIPSE), Brood Mares, Colts, capital Dairy Cows, Young Stock, Implements, § c.

LOT II. All those TWO MESSUAGES or Dwel- ling Houses, with the Gardens and Appurtenances thereto respectively belonging, situate, at a Place called the FOX- HOLES, in the Parish of Madeley aforesaid, now in the several Occupations of Thomas Hudson and Michael Noakes. LOT 111. All that Piece or Parcel of GARDEN GROUND, situate on the Road Side near the Fox- holes aforesaid, now in the Occupation of Mr. Fowler. The Whole of the said Premises are Freehold of Inheritance. The respective Tenants will shew the Pre.- mises ; and further Particulars may be had by applying to THE AUCTIONEER, at iVIadeley ; or Messrs. PRITCHARD, Solicitors, Broseley. to support what was called the liberty of Spi lie believed that it would be difficult to say with confidence which was the Spanish nation ; for, if a French army was fighting- on one side in Spain, and an English army on the other, it was a doubtful point which army would find the greatest number of Spanish auxiliaries. - Having defended the policy and conduct of Ministers, his Loi? d$ hip concluded by expressing his firm Opinion, that if unforeseen circumstances should arise, which would render it imperative upon this country to draw the sword, she would do so at a future moment with g- reater advantage than at present, and let the consequences be what they might, this country would be acquitted of all blame Lord HOLLAND spoke at considerable length in condemnation of the conduct of Ministers, and the humiliated state to which we were brought by suffering France to subjugate Spain. The very nation/ he said, who, but a few years ago, had made so many sacrifices in support of the independ- j ence of Spain, now saw, unmoved, fen aggression made upon that country, the most wanton and the most unjust that history could record. Lord GRANVILLJS defendecj the course pursued by | Ministers, and moved an amendment, expressing the concurrence of the House in the principles laid down in the papers communicated to them, and their satisfaction in the manner in which they had been applied during the late negociations, though lamenting thq, t the efforts to preserve the peace o Europe had been unsuccessful. f The Dulfe of BUCKINGHAM warmly deprecated tin- principles which had been laid down in the speechc.;- of the two Noble Barons ( Lords Ellenborough and Holland), contending that their own argumen ts went fully to shew the inexpediency and- danger of our embarking- in this struggle.— The two Noble Barons expressed much anxiety for the preserva- tion of peaces but the whole object of their speeches was to establish the propriety of going to war. War, be the argument what it might, seemed throughout to be the predominant principle— a circumstance which reminded him ( the Duke of Buckingham) of the lion in the fable. As to what had passed at Ve- rona, he thought the line which it behoved us to adopt was clear & obvious; it had accordingly been taken by Ministers, and he bcartilv concurred in the measures which they h? d instituted in conse- quence. The ijoble Dnlie proceeded to examine fhe grounds upon which such a policy was necessary and wise, and declared, that for this country to have interfered in the quarrel between Spain and France, would have been under all the circum- stances, not merely injudicious, but unwarrantable. The only course which could be taken by one in- dependent nation towards another was that adopted • by the British Government in the case of France and Spain. They had not hesitated to point out to both Countries the dangers of war; but they were not entitled to support the opinion so expressed by re- monstrance, much less by force. An allusion had been modeto the necessity of maintaining the balance of power in Europe, and to the determined spirit of QueenElizabeth when theNetherlands were assailed in her reign; but the balance of power was a doctrine entirely to be used according to the state of the world at the moment of its assertion. What, might have been applicable when Spain had her Indies, rtugaf ha ' ~ there was a wide dissonance of opinion between them : he would not enter into the details of that difference, because he felt he should be only inter- rupting an important and interesting discussion. He was, however, bound to declare, that his prin- ciples, with reference to the question involved in this debate, were entirely opposed to those which had been asserted by the Noble Duke who had just sat down. Lords KING and DARNLEY blamed the conduct of Administration in the negociations, and the Earl of ABERDEEN defended it. The Duke of WELLINGTON called upon the Noble Lords opposite to state explicitly whether, when the Spanish question came into discussion, they would have chosen neutrality or war? They had not yet declared whether they meant peace or war; Their arguments would lead to war, but they still seemed to lean to pacific measures ; and he. called upon them, therefore, either to adopt one line or the other. The fjioyeruuient, of which he ( the Duke of Wellington) formed a part, had determined to adopt the line of neutrality ; he went to Verona with instructions to act upon that policy, and in tlje spirit of those instructions he had carried on the conferences with the other Ministers. Earl GREY spo^ e in favour of the motion of Lord Eilenborough. In the whole of the negociation there had been a disposition to make concessions in favour of France, but at the same time to withhold every thing from Spain. He did jiiot spe that we had yny security that peace would be preserved. Our policy, he feared, amounted merely to this, that we should be invol ved in war at last, aiu] unjjer the greatest disadvantages. Earl LIVERPOOL maintained that the tone of the negociations was in every respect the proper one, the object of the Government being neurrality, and their policy to prevent war. The tone to be as- sumed was not that, of ljienace. He had before stated that the danger of the present hostile inter- fe/ ence \ va$ to France more than Spain, and tl^ t was still his opinion ; nor did he believe thai it was possible for France to conq- icr Spain, Under j the circumstances of that country, Jt should he j recollected, however, that Spain was now a divi- | ded country — divided, he believed, pretty equally j between those who supported, and those who op- i posed the Constitution. At the present period, j unless we were prepared to send a large army into Spain, no good whatever could be done by going to war; and he was satisfied that if the question were put to the country, 99 out of 10'' persons would negative our embarking in war for Spain. the Marquis of LANSDOVVNE spoke in support of the motion ; and Lord ELLENROROUGH haying re- plied, the House proceeded to a division, in which the numbers were Contents— present <•(>, proxies 46—. 42. Non- contents — present 29, proxies 19- 48. Majority in favour of the amendment, 94.— Adjou.' ned at half- past two. The following Peers formed the Minority ( pre- sent, or by proxy,) on the motion of Lord Ellen- borough :— Dukes ' of Sussex, Somerset, Grafton, Devonshire, Portland, Leinster, Argyle, and Bed- Ford; Marquiss. es Lansdowne. Bate, and Down- shire; Earls of Derby, Essex, Jersey, T ankerville, Cow per, Fitzwiliiam, Fortcscue, Gosfyrd, Grey, Darnley, Aibemarle. Waldegrave, Darlington, Charlemont, Spencer, Grosyeuor, Hosslyn, Minto, and Besborough ; Viscount Ciifden ; Barons Oacre, King, Holland, Foley, Sufiield, Auckland, Erskine, Bread a! bane, Lynedoch, Ellenbomuo- h, Dundjas, Yarborough, Cawdor, Crewe, and Belhaven. the influence of the aristocracy existed to the ex- tent it now did, the people would never be fairly represented. This influence could only be got rid of by adopting a system of ballot, by which it would be impossible to tell which way any man voted. He thought also, that Parliaments ought to be of short duration, as making them so would be one great means of imposing on Members the ne- cessity of doing their duty. He did not wish to make any alteration iu the present system, unless he could accomplish the object he had in view, which was to make a majority of this House, the pure and independent representatives of the people. Mr. R. MARTIN denied that the House did not express tlie sense of the people ; that they did so, hail been proved by the repeal of the Income Tax, and by other measures, which they had carried against the sense of that side of the House on which he sat. Entertaining this opinion, he could not go the whole leng- ih with the Noble Lord ; still he was not against going a part of the way with him . Sir J. NEWPORT strongly urged the necessity of Reform. Sir T. LETIIBRIDOE had cbqnged his opinion on this subject, and intended to give a vote to- night in support of the Noble Lord's motion. Recent circumstances bad convinced him that the people were not fairly and fully represented. He wished to have the close Boroughs done away, and the number of County Members increased, lie thought the increased intelligence and tlie ex- tended wealth of ^ he- country called for such an alteration. He. wished to see that party, and those designing individuals who were going about the country propagating visionary schemes, put down, which they would be if a moderate Re- form was adopted. He must also say, before he concluded, that he considered the Lauded Interest as. not properly represented, if it had been, agri- cultural distress would not have reached the height it had done. Sir F. BLAKE supported the motion. The House divided— for the motion 169 ; ag- ainst i it 280 ; majority against the motion 111. The following Members were in the Minority on | Lord John Russell's motion : — Hou. H. G- Bennet, | B. Benyon, Sir J F. Boughey, Viscount Dnncan- ! non, F. Law ley, Sir T. ( ethbridge, Sir E. P.

New Bridge Street, London ; or Mr. WYLEY, Land Surveyor, Admaston, near Wellington, Salop. and Portugal had Brazil, was of very different ap- plication when Governments had become changed ; and the assertion of the balance of power now, in the manner in which it had been entertained form- erly, so far from protecting the weaker States, against the strong, would risk, not only the Nether- lands, but also Hanover, and perhaps transfer to Russia the occupation of the East. Neutrality, not war, was, he contended, the policy of Great Britain at this crisis ; and as some Noble Lords had offered up a prayer with their arguments, he should follow the example, and pray to God also, not that his country should be driven into war, but that she might enjoy the happiness of remaining in peace. His prayer was, that if ever Great Britain were driven into the field, the combat should be for self- defence^ and he was not afraid to brave the obloquy of Noble Lords opposite, when he added without hesitation, another prayer to God, that if the country were forced to arm, it might not be for the maintenance of such principles as were now advocated in Spain and reiterated elsewhere. ( Cheers of dissent from the Opposition benches and particularly from his Royal, Highness the Duke of^ nssex. ) He was pre- pared for the reception of the sentiment which he fiad uttered, and lie thought the illustrious Duke opposite ought to have found the history of his country enough to convince him of the danger of such opinions. The sentiments which he now uttered were those which he had long cherished— in them he had been educated - he had invariably acted upon them throughout the whole of his political life. He avowed without reserve that he could not feel with tho^ e who expressed such an interest in the present state of Spain ; he was one of those who could not forget the horrors, and miseries, and de vastations of revolutionary war, the dreadful result which had always attended tlie spreading of re- volutionary doctrines in every quarter of Europe. He was sorry that in the present state of Spain be saw nothing to mitigate his aversion to the mora! poison of anarchy. Was there a Noble Lord who heard him who could reflect in his closet upon the present state of tilings in Spain, and then put his hand upon his heart and say, whether he did not at this moment see the spirit of revolution as ripe in that country as ever it had been seen in any other— as ready to destroy the basis of regular g- overnment, through the means of the same instruments, and by the same political agency, which had always at- tended a similar convulsion ? He would appeal to the Ministers who had been eugag- ed for 30 years in stemming the fiery torrent of revolutionary princi- ples, to pursue the same path which they had so manfully traversed for the good of their country. He would call upon them to maintain their neur trality, at a time when the obduracy of one party, and the blind/ iess of another affected t] ie peace of- two kingdoms; and not to embark in the present state of Gre$ t Britain in a contest whicj. i n, m « s| be attended by an . enormous yyaste of blood ajid tr. ear sure : — and for what? For the maintenance of HOUSE OF COMMONS- THURSDAY, PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. Mr. COKE presented a Petition from Norfolk, praying for Parliamentary Reform. This Petition prayed that all process for recovery Qf rent, tithe, j or mortgage, should be suspended tor a year ; that the tax. on malt and hops should tye repealed ; that Reform should take place in Parliament; and a reduction in the interest of the national debt, See. It will be recollected that this was the Petition adopted at the Norfolk Meeting on the suggestion of Mr. Cobbett..— Mr. M A. TAYLOR said, he had always been the fijendand advocate of Parliament- ary Reform, and as such could net but reg- ret that such a Petition as. that which had iusi been read shoiiid have been presented on this night : none but the enemies of Parliamentary Reform could feel satisfaction at it. This was not a Petition seeking for Reform in Parliament, but for a total revolution in Church and. State. If he could for a moment imagine this farrago of nonsense find absurdity con- veyed tbe real wishes of the friends of Reform; he would turn round and say, < 4 Away at once with Reform for ever."— Mr. COKE bore testimony to the correctness of the statement as to the confusion which prevailed at the Norfolk Meeting; he was near Mr. Cobbett at the time he was speaking, bsjt all he could hear of him was, that every now and then he roared out Til fill your bellies; I'll give you relief aud Reform." Now these were very pleasant promises, but he believed he had done as much as Mr. Cobhett, and been as anxious as any man could have been to give the people relief and Reform . He could not but consider Mr. Cobbett as the greatest enemy Reform had in this con of — Ordered to be printed. A great number of other Petitions for P; « •! ia- montary Reform were presented from Counties, Cities, See. kc. Lord JOHN RUSSELL rose to renew the motion which he had made last year for a Reform of Par- liament- I n the present year, there was the Petition of the county of York, signed by I7,()! M> freeholders, and another from the enlightened inhabitants of Edinburgh, to the s;> me effect. On this subject the Cabinet was united, though they differed on so many others. A Right Hou. Gentleman too, the eloquent enemy of Reform, had been appointed, what was truly* tho' unconstitutionally, v ailed, the Manager of that House. But that jilso imposed a responsibility on the Right Hon. Gent, and he trusted that he ( Mr. C.) would see the necessity of conciliating a free people through the medium of an honest Parliament. One of the means of securing the purity of the Representative Body, was to ex- clude from it all the Ministers of the Crown. Another mode, and which had been adopted in this country, was to send back the Representative to the Elective Body. But he never meant that the Representative should be merely the echo of the Elective Body. The advocates of Reform abjured all the ways of filling that House by means of the Crown, and the House of Lords. The nature of the Representation was known to none so well as to the Members of that House— 290 Members were re- turned by 17,000 Electors, no greater number than had sigued the Yorkshire Petition. He might be told, that, influence and corruption had existed in every period of our history. But that influence and corruption was unfit for the present day, as the people were too enlightened to tolerate it any longer. It had been also said, that the people were more corrupt than their Members. But he was satisfied that the people did not share in the cor- ruption of their Representatives. His present plan was the same as before, to add 100 Members for comities, and to take one from each of the smaller boroughs : nor should he be averse to the plan of Mr. Pitt, to buy up the franchises of the rotten boroughs. Fifty millions had been squandered by i folly or profligacy, and he should not grudge oue I million more to secure the. rest of our treasure. It had been said that public opinion was a counter- i poise to the House of Commons ; but the more powerful that opinion was, the more needful was it lhat our institutions should be conformable to it. He then adverted to the opinion of Professor Play- fair, that the institutions of a people should be adapted to the knowledge that prevailed among them. The question was not for the House to decide whether Reform should or should not take place. That question had gone out of their hands. But. ROBBKRY OF THE DEURY MAIL— The de- sperate gang, who lately robbed the Derrv coach, and murdered the guard ( Mac:: ay,) are by this time apprehended. One of the party against whom there was clear evidence, was arrested, and became approver. The Solicitor of the Post Office, with a strong party, went to the bog of Gorpvanstown, to secure the villains, and it is supposed that not one of them will escape. They are the sajiie gang • ho robbed the Belfast Mail a short time since at Duleek : we congratulate the public on the appre- hension of these desperate men, who had become the terror of travellers to the North of Ireland, VVe may take this opportunity of mentioning? that Government has generously and promptly settled a pension of £ 20 yearly, on the widow of the unfor- tunate Mackay.-^ r Dublin Freeman* s Journal.

In the county of Cork two soldiers and a policeman were attacked on the road while returning home from duty : one of the soldiers died next day from the brutal treat- ment be had suffered, and the policeman had his ears and one of hiy cheeks cut off! The spirit of depredation has approached, it seems, within two miles of Dublin. A Mr Longhman, of Prospect- place, was forced to deliver up a large quantity of arms, which the rullVans demanded from him as " a loan." Several cabins have been attacked and levelled with the ground in the same metropolitan . county, an. d the inhabitants barbarously ill treated. Another extensive Coach Robbery of Bank No'es.— rOn Monday se'nnight, Mr. Hadwiu, a Quaker of Liverpool, transmitted two thousand and j li net v fire pounds in old £ 1 Pank of England notes, by the coach, addressed to an eminent druggist iu Lombard- street, with the direction upon them, tk Glass— this . side to be kept uppermost;" to be forwarded to a respectable banking- house in the same street. The parcel at rived at the druggist's, and was sent to the banking firm, and placed in the country office. On opening the package, the clerk « as astonished to find the expected bank notes metamorphosed into a colleclion of waste paper of e. very description. Notice was instantly sent lo the police office in Bow street, but no clue conld be discovered of the robbery. Information was also given at the Bank ; but as the noxiibers of the notes cannot yet be ascertainedj it is much feared the ruffians will be enabled to get some of them into circulation, it being strongly . suspected by the officers, that tiicy have fallen into the hands of the gentlemen connected with M The Hintj."

The Duke of SUSSEX rose to thank the Noble 1 Duke who had last addressed their Lordsjiips, for the notice which he was pleased to take of his dis- sent from the sentiment which - he had uttered in a part of his speech ; but with respect to the prin- ciple of the balance of power, he must remark, that at one time he had the honour of having tiie Noble Duke's . coincidence of opinion with him upon that point. If he mistook it not, it was when their sentiinents corresponded upon the affairs of Genoa and Austria. At present, however, it was clear Lord concluded by moving, that the state of the representation required ihe most serious consider- ation of tire House. Lord NOIJMANRY seconded the motion. Sir C. N. EAST contended that, the House was. at p- rasent constituted as it was declared it should be by the Biil of Rights, at the period of tl; e Revo- lution. He was decidedly of opinion it would be . most mischievous and impolitic to make innovations on the present system until they were provided with another. Mr. RICARDO differed from the last Speaker,- he could not agree with him, that, we were not qualified to aUer or improve that fabric which the wisdom of our ancestors erected ; in his opinion, the present g- enerati m was quite as wise, or wiser, than our ancestors, and might improve what our ancestors had done. The question of Reform divided itself into three parts ;— first, the extension of Suffrage ; — secondly, the mode of Election ; and thirdly, the duration of Parliaments. He could not agree with his Noble Friend in his position that, doing away the Rotten Boroughs, and giving the right of Election to counties, would cure the evil. Whilst fZx.

VIAT0H18 SENESCE. 1TIS VOTUM. ( Written by a Traveller, after visiting the Tomb of Shakespeare, at Stratford) I have lived lung ill tliis same stirring scene Of human turmoil, and my way hath been Various and wide but never had I bowed With heartfelt adoration, never vowed My humblest homage iu Life's light or gloom In happiness or sorrow, at thy tomb Oh! sweetest Shakespeare ! Wiilie, yet to thee, All that for many years has solaced me, All that has eheer'd my path thro' weal or woe, All that has raised or wrapt my soul, I owe : 1 never cau forget when the tears filled Mine eyes, and first my youthful bosom thrill'd At thy creative magic— since that time, As to a teacher lovely and sublime, 3 still have listen'd, and still hoped one day Over thy cold mute ashes 1 might pay This grateful strain.— ' Twas at the day's pale close, The hour when sweetest evening slowly throws, On temple, and tower, and stream, her last repose, When first I saw o'er the dark trees arise That Fane, within whose walls great SHAKESPEARE lies " In Fame's last sanctity."— Upon the stone I stood, and thought of youth's briefsunshine gone, And of that magic genius that beguiled, Life's various journey since 1 was a child. Never shall I forget It, till tile light Of latest evening shines, ere all be night; Therefore I bend with tears before thy bust, Shakespeare! and kiss thy venerated dust. Stratford- upon- Avon, April 12, 1823. At the Great Sessions at Cardiff, a cause of I importance, respecting the titles to large estates ill ' Glamorganshire, came on. The question was, who was the heir- at- law of William Rees, late of Court Colmau, Esq a gentleman who vvas supposed to have died worth ucarly£ 100,00.) in real and personal property. Mr. Taunton, the King's Counsel, came down under a special retainer for ihe lessor of the plaintiffs, and was assisted by Mr. Knight and Mr. Malkiu. The defendants' Counsel were— Mr. ftlnysey ( who came down on purpose, as he is about to retire from the bar), Mr. Croft, and Mr. Manic. On the part of the plaintiffs, a great number of old witnesses were examined, and two old Bibles were produced to prove their pedigree; and on the behalf of defendants, a variety of in- struments, such as marriage settlements, surren- ders, receipts, & c. were produced, and a great many old witnesses were examined to prove their case. Mr Taunton was an hour and a half opening the case of the plaintiffs, and Mr. Moysey three hours aud twenty minutes stating that of the de- fendants. Mr. Taunton was tlnee hours in reply- ing. Mr. Justice Wingfieid was between four and five hours summing up the evidence. The Jury retired for about fifteen minutes, and returned finding a verdict for defendants. The plaintiffs are labouring men, and the defendants small farmers. The cause commenced on Saturday morning, at nine o'clock, and was not finished until two o'clock oil Wednesday afternoon, although the Court sat until 11 or 12 o'clock every night. There were upwards of 100 witnesses. V/ ALBS, TO THE EDITOH OL' THE SALOPIAN JOURNAL.

The neigh- bouring tenants also distributed With a plentiful , hand roasted sheep and cwru' da ; at night the top of Ctfn- du exhibited a most majestic bonfire; nearly all the respectable tradesmen of Carnarvon illuminated their houses ; and the splendid front of the Hotel had a most striking effect. On Tuesday, an inquest was held by John'Wil- liams, Esq. C'orouer, at the parish of Llanfrynach, Brccoushire, on view of the body of a boy, aged six years, who came by his death under the follow- ing distressing circumstances. His mother had purchased a solution of arsenic, for the cure of au eruptive complaint; and, fearing that her children ( the deceased, and a girl five years old) might get at the bottle, she hid it under the thatch of an out- btmse; but unfortunately they perceived her, and, some time afterwards, iu her absence, succeeded iu finding the bottle, and both drank of the solution! When the mother returned home, she found the children extremely ill with violent vomiting; and Ihe little gill acknowledged that they had been drinking out of the bottle placed under the thatch A quantity of milk was given them, and the girl recovered, but the poor boy died ill great agony. At the late Stafford Sessions, Joseph Lomas, for picking the pocket of Mrs. Roberts, a shopkeeper at. St. Asaph, of £ 44, at the last Wrexham Fair, was sentenced to seven years' transportation.

HOUSE OF COMMONS- TUESDAY. USURY LAWS. After a few Petitions had been delivered, Mr. Serjeant ONSLOW moved for, and obtained, leave to iiig in a Bill for the repeal of Ibe Usury Laws. Vang of the Grand Jury. The Charge was delivered by the new Chief Justice, Mr. Rai ne ( late of the Northern Circuit); he passed a high and well- deserved eulogium upon his predecessor, Mr. Leicester, and hinted at the Bill introduced into the House of Commons, for revising- the Judicatory Courts in Wales, pledging- himself, to watch its course with a jealous eye, as he was decidedly hostile to innovations either in Church or State, though he was not so far bigotted to old customs as to think'they could not be improved. After com- plimenting the Grand Jury upon the state of the Calendar, there being but two indictments, he re- quested that they would proceed to business, in order that they might be discharged. The Grand Jury threw out the Bill, which was against two men o'f the name of Jones, brothers, of the parish of Mallwyd, for taking away cattle in the night. It did not appear that they took them with a felonious intent, although they were in- dictable for a misdemeanor. The poor men were farmers, and removed the cows from the grasp of the bailiff, not thinking that they ran the risk of being tried for it.— The Grand Jury were dis- charged the same. day . With the above exception, it was a complete Maiden Assizes, there being no prisoner to try in the Crown Court, nor a single trial on the Civil side.— The population of Merionethshire is about 35,000. RtJLE OF COURT. At the Session hoi den at Chester, in and for the County of Chester, on, Monday, the 7th day of April,' in the year of our Lord 1823, before the Honourable Charles Warren, His Majesty's Chief Justice, and. the Honourable Samuel Marshall, Serjeant at Law, His Majesty's other Justice : Whereas the practice of calling to join in Similiter has been found to be inconvenient, and to create unnecessary delay in bringing Causes to Trial: It is ordered, that from henceforth, in all Cases where the Pleading shall conclude to the Country, the Plaintiff in any Action, or the Avowant in Replevin, shall be at liberty to add the Similiter, and make up the Record and proceed to Trial, without calling the other Party to join in Similiter, but such other Party is to be at liberty to bring lor repe: PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. On the presentation of the Lincoln petition for Parliamentary Reform, Mr. A. SMITH denied that the petition spoke the sense of the county of Lincoln. Sir R. HERON maintained that it did. Lord MILTON next presented the Yorkshire peti- tion also for Reform, which was of enormous dimen- sions, and signed, as his Lordship explained, by 17,083 freeholders— a great majority of the whole number in the county ; the highest total that was ever polled at any flection not exceeding 23,070. Mr STUAUT WORTI. EY bore testimony, to the re- spectability ol' the petitioners, hut declared himself adverse to the prayer of their petition. Mr. GOULBCRN thought that the efleet of such petitions alone produced a practical reform. IRELAND. Mr. C. GRANT, in allusion to some observation'S thrown out on a former evening, intimating that the Irish Government of Lord Wellesley was more im- partial in extending protection to the Catholics than former governments had been,: vindicated the Irish administration of which he had been a member, from the imputation of parthvlitv. The Right Hon. C. VV. W. WYNR' denied that he had made any charge of partiality against former administrations iu Ireland, and that his observation had merely gone to the extent that the appointment f Lord Wellesley, and Mr Plunkett, was a pledge or a more conciliatory aud dignified administration Ireland. Mr. PEEL claimed for himself, and those who had icted with him in Ireland, the credit of having acted with the most perfect impartiality ; and appealed to present Chief Justice of Ireland, and to Mr. Fitzgerald, who had been his colleagues in office, j I were well known as the most attached friends of the Catholics. For himself he declared, that in I returning to office he did not assent to any under- ! standing that the affairs of Ireland were to be con- ducted upon a new system, and that with such an understanding he certainly never should have ac- cepted office. Mr. C. GRANT affirmed, that under Lord Talbot's administration the slightest distinction had never been made between Catholics and Protestants. Mr. ELLIS ( of Dublin) presented a petition from e of the High Sheriffs of Dublin ( Mr. Thorpe), and the Foreman and Jurors of the Christmas Grand Jury of that city, praying for an enquiry ( in such manner the house should direct) into the charges pre- ferred against them by the Irish Attorney- General. Mr, Jllis took the opportunity of announcing that Mr. Thorpe and six of the Grand Jurois, deputed by their fellows, were then in attendance. The annun- ciation was received with acclamations; and Mr. BROUGHAM complimented the Sheriff and Jury upon the promptitude with which they had, soliciled enquiry. Sir FRANCIS BUROETT then brought forward his promised motion for an enquiry into the conduct of the High Sheriff of Dublin, which, he said ( assuming the truth of the charges made by Mr. Plunkett, of his having impannelied a Jury for party purposes on the late trial for assaulting the Lord Lieutenant, & c.) deserved the severest animadversion of the House. The Hon. Baronet, in a very able speech, argued that the question was of a magnitude very worthy of a Parliamentary investigation ; and concluded by asserting, that justice to all parties imperatively demanded an investigation. Mr. PLUNKETT, in a speech of some length, denied that the establishment of the charges which he had made against the High Sheriff was necessary to his defence, submitting that it. was enough if he could make out such a prima facie case against that officer, as might be supposed to hare influenced him in the course which he had adopted. He was, he said, most unwilling to oppose a parliamentary inquiry-; but he lamented that such an enquiry was likely to preclude Ivim from the kind of investigation which he had long resolved upon, namely, a prosecution of the High Sheriff officio before a Jury of some adjacent county. Mr. DENMAN supported the motion of Sir Francis Burdett. He thought the late riot iu the play- house at Dublin was not of that serious nature that required Ihrfmeasures which the Attorney- General for Ireland had adopted. Mr. BANKES thought the inquiry now proposed was not of that sort which called for the interference of the House, but should be. left to the ordinary tribunals. Lord MILTON thought the enquiry could no where be so properly made as in the House of Commons. Mr. BROWN LOW said he was still of opinion that the conduct of the Attorney- General for Ireland had been harsh, unprecedented, and unconstitutional; and believing, as he did, that the Sheriff was innocent, he should support the motion for inquiry. Mr. GOULBURN, Mr. PEEL, aud Mr. CANNING were for leaving the question to be decided by the ordinary tribunals. Col. BARRY, Sir J. NEWPORT, Mr. S. RICE, and Mr. TIERNFY insisted that the present was a case of vital interest; it was, whether or not justice was administered properly in Ireland; and the House ought to inquire into and decide the point at issue. Mr. BROUGHAM said the first objection to an in- quiry by the House was, that it would be. running the risk of sending the sheriff unfavourably and unfairly to trial ; bat it was somewhat singular that the sheriff himself did not take this objection. On a division, the numbers were— for the motion 219; against it 185; being a majority against Minis- ters of 34. It was determined to enter on the examination on Friday next. In the Majority on Sir F. Bnrdett's motion, were— Viscount Barnard, Hon. H. G. Bennet, B. Benvon, Sir J. F. Boughey, Sir W. R. Bonghton, Rowland Hill, VV. L. Hughes, Sir E. P. Llovd, E. Rogers, Sir R. VV. Vaughan, T. Whitmore, W. W. Whitmore, and Sir T. Winning- ton. In the Minority were— W. L. Cliilde, Viscount Clive, Henry Clive, Sir W. Congreve, Panton Corbett, Lord Hugh Cholinondeley, Lord F. Gower, R. lleber, W. Holmes, T F. Lewis, E. J. Littleton, Lord J. Thynne, and Right Hon. C. VV. W. Wynn. IRE1JANP » Some additional and important information has just been officially communicated to Parliament, respecting the renewed disturbances in Ireland. It is contained in the extracts of a despatch from the Lord Lieutenant ( dated the 8th of Apri 1) to Mr. Secretary Peel, and in the enclosures accompanying this despatch. Our readers A'ill regret to find, upon perusing the following passages froiiu the communication of the Marquis Wellesley, that his Excellency's apparently well founded hopes, in January last, of an amelioration about to com- mence in the state of Ireland, have not been realized; " In iriy Despatch, under date the 29th January, 1823, I expressed my expectation ( apparently jus- tified bv the improvement which had at that, time taken place in the state of the country) of a gradual approach towards a stale of greater tranquillity and peace in the Southern Districts lately disturbed. " Subsequent events have disappointed that ex- pectation, and during the month of March, the system of outrage has been pursued in parts of the province of Munster, with increased activity and vigour, and has reached other parts of the country, which had been nearly exempt from disturbance. " The earliest information conveyed to me of any considerable increase of outrage in Munster, was the first weekly report in March, of the police magistrate in the county of Cork ; from which it appeared that, during that period, five malicious conflagrations and twelve outrages of different descriptions had taken place within the district committed to his charge. From that period to the present time, scarcely a night has elapsed in which within those districts some house or property has not been destroyed by fire, or in which attempts have not been made by the insurgents to enforce the penalties, previously denounced against all those who resist the authority of these desperate offenders. " Notwithstanding the most unremitting exer- tions on the part of the military and police to intercept those by whom these crimes are committed, few persons have been apprehended. Conflagra- tions are so easily effected, even by one skilful offender, and the system of terror has been so firmly established on the minds of the Inhabitants of these districts, that the detection of the ciime is become a matter of extreme difficulty. " In Limerick, which had been restored to tran- quillity, instances of similar crimes have latterly appeared; and parts of the county of Clare have been so much agitated as to require the application of the Insurrection Act to two of the baronies which adjoin the county of Limerick. The state of that part of the country, and the reasons which led to the proclamation of these additional Baronies, are explained in the annexed extract of a letter from Serjeant Ttfrrens, and in the accompanying com- munication of Major Warburton, the Police Magis- trate of the county of Clare. " An increased spirit of outrage has at the same time been manifested in parts of the County of Westmeath. and the Queen's County ; and upon a review of the reports received from the other less agitated counties of Ireland ( with the exception of the province of Ulster, and part of Con- naught), crimes of an insurrectionary character appear to be more frequent... . . " The cause's of the sudden? increase of this description of crime have not been sufficiently developed to enable me to furnish you with any determined judgment 011 that most interesting point. " The present mischief has been attributed to the greater maturity of that system of combination for the destruction of property, which has so long prevailed in Ireland : a temporary cause is stated to be the general expiration of leases, which occurs at this season of the year, and which usually leads to acts of disturbance ( if not of a more destructive character) against those who occupy the farms from which previous tenants have been ejected. " Iu the meanwhile, I am convinced that the wisdom of his Majesty's Government, and of Par- liament, will not delay the renewal of the Insur- rection Act. It is a painful and undeniable truth, that the mere circumstance of the unavoidable delay in the renewal of that Law, has been converted by the secret instigators of confusion into an encouragement to the deluded populace of the South, who have been taught to believe that the i Law will not be renewed; and that its restraints wiil uo longer, be opposed to the progress of their crimes.'' The inclosures mentioned by the Noble Marquis we have not room for; but they are of no great moment, as they merely give in detail the outrages which are generally referred to in his Excellency's despatch. Leasing Bill has not yet received any trial whatso- ever. A single year of trial would, under any cir- cumstances. have been inadequate; but the unex- exampled distress and difficulties of the last year, must, in themselves, have stayed the adoption of all new experiment ; while the practical operation of the measure was altogether precluded by the noto- riety of the fact, that a further plan was held in con- templation. But we have this additional, and, in our appre- hension, insurmountable, objection to the new Bill, that it would dissolve the unity of the Church of England and Ireland, which forms a fundamental article of the solemn compact by which the king- doms themselves are united. In England, an estab- lishment maintained iu the Undiminished enjoyment of its ancient rights ;— in Ireland, the very essence of an establishment destroyed by an invasion of its property, and by the consequent subversion of its independence— there would be no security for the preservation of that identity in doctrine, worship, discipline, and government, which, to both countries, is the great bulwark of the reformed Catholic Faith. We have felt it our duty thus to mrike the earliest possible communication of our sentiments respecting the proposed Bill ; and we are not without an earnest hope, that through your Excellency's timely inter- ference, its provisions may not: pass into a Law, aud the property of the United Church may be main- tained in its integrity uilviolated and inviolable.

It appears by recent advices from the South of Ireland, that the wretches who have been plun- dering and burning the farm- buildings and stacks in that part of the kingdom, have, among their oiher devastations, been setting fire to the property of Mr. Plunkett, the Attorney- General for Ireland. L mericft, April 16.— On Thursday evening last, seven men broke into, the house, the property of John Wrixon, Esq. one of whom was armed with a bayonet, who instantly made a blow at Mr. Wrixon's man, and ordered him and his family to leave the house, when they locked him up in the barn ; they then deliber- ately set fire to the house ; they left a notice with Mr. Wrixon's dairy- man, swearing him to give it to Mr. W. by six o'clock the next morning— a copy of which is underneath.

LESLEY, K. G. LORD LIEUTENANT GE NERAL AND GENERAL GOVERNOR OF IRELAND. We, the undersigned Archbishops and Bishops beg leave to express to your Excellency our gratefu' acknowledgments for the communication made to us, through your Excellency's Chief Secretary, of a Bill to provide for the establishing of Composition for Tithes in Ireland. At the present stage of the business, and in tl first instance, we should account it not sufficiently respectful to your Excellency to take any public steps relative to the proposed measure ; but we think il due to your Excellency and to the Church, that we should, without auv delay, submit to your Ex- cellency our private, sentiments 011 the subject; and we are confident that your Excellency will receive with kindness, and weigh with candour, the repre- sentation which we take the liberty to lay before you. We entreat permission to say, that a Legislative enactment, which, without their previous consent, would withdraw the property of the Clergy from their own management, and compel them to submit those rights which have heen guaranteed to them from the first origin of our Constitution, to a doubt- ful, and, in the natural course of things, an un- friendly arbitration, destructive, as it would unques- tionably be, of the independence of our Church, Establishment, must, in our judgment, be equally destructive of its respectability, its utility, and its permanence. Hitherto the Estate of the Church has been incor- porated and identified with the mass of private pro- perty ; nor has the Legislature exercised authority over it, either for use or for dominion. But the very first enactment of the proposed Bill changes the nature of that Estate, and leaves it open to future and indefinite innovations. It is this which constitutes the essential difference between the Tithe Leasing Bill of the last Session, and the measure now in con- templation. The former was an optional modifica- tion— the latter is a compulsory change ; and it ap- pears to lis that the beneficial effect of the Tithe THE CENSUS OF IRELAND.— This very inte- resting document, recently published, amounts to 500 volumes !— The Enumerators return lists of the names, ages, and occupations of all the inhabitants ia their districts. They have classed the population in families aud sexes. They include the number of ho uses inhabited and uninhabited and building, with the number and sizes of farms, schools, churches, public buildings, castles, and remains of antiquity, with many other interesting particulars relating to the state of the country. From these materials con- taining an immense mass of information, it was necessary to comprehend the details in a tabular report for the use of Parliament; we shall give a specimen of the work from the account of the parish of Inchieronane, in the county of Clare. The parish of Inchieronane, in the barony of Ban- ratty, contains 37 townlands, 678 inhabited houses, 8 uninhabited', and 15 are building. I11 these houses there are 743 families, comprising a population of. 4173, of which 2138 are males, and 2035 females. From these data ii appears that the number of per- sons in each family, is something more than five and a half. The. ages of the inhabitants are divided info thirteen classes:, there are 676 under 5 years— 601 from 5 to 10— 523 from 10 to 15— 462 from 15 to 20— 64 0 from 20 to 30— 488 from 30 to 40— 343 from 40 to 50— 343 from 50 to 60— 39 from 60 to 70— 45 from 7( f to 80— 9 from 80 to 90— 3 from 90 to 100— and 1 above 100 years of age. This part of the return is highly important: it shews the amount of the avail- able industry of the parish, also its sources for war, as well as the number of men fit to carry arms. Those from fc'he age of fifteen to sixty, 1933, are capable of labour to its full extent, and the rest, in the propor- tion of one half, are fit for defensive warfare. Those under 5 years, 676, are entirely helpless, and those above 70 years, 58, may be supposed in the same condition, or in all 734. must depend on the labour of others. Supposing the industry of the respective classes from 15 to 60, Jo be worth lOd. each per day, ' t w 0 u I d a 1110 u 111 to £ 21,162.10s. a n n ua H y, cal c u I a t i n g 50 weeks iu the year. To this sum we may add about half as much for profit on capital, or in all £ 30,243.15s. which, divided among the whole num- ber, say 4173,- gives £ 8. 13s. 8d. to each person yearly. According to this calculation the productive industry of the seven millions of people in Ireland, at the rate of lOd per day for work and 5d. for profit ou Capital, would amount to 60 millions sterling per annum. But in this estimation, we have merely referred to agricultural labour, and when we include the industry of towns, the higher wages, the profits of manufacture, of shipping, of fisheries, and of capital in the funds, we may add 30 millions more, 11 nd the whole amount of the industry of the people of Ireland will then be 90 millions annually. The occupations of the inhabitants are returned with a degree of minuteness at once interesting and satis- factory; they are divided into six classes— lsf, Agricultural ; the number of farmers is 436, and of labourers 524— 2d, Manufacturing; the number of weavers is 14, spinners 18, tailors 15, sempstresses 6, shoemakers 3, masons 6, carpenters 15, smiths 14— 3d. Trading; 1 victualler, 6 dealers, and 3 publicans — 4th, Liberal Professions ; there is only one clergy- man— 5th, Other Occupations in this division ; there are 13 teachers, 3 revenue officers, 6 pensioners, 17 police, 221 servants, and 27 paupers— 6th, Schools; there are 116 males and 79 females attending the schools. The number and size of farms constitute the last branch of inquiry. There are 316 farms in this parish ; of which 13 are under 2 acres— 38 from 2 to 5— 159 from 5 to 10— 71 from 10 to 20— 28 from 20 to 50— 3 from 50 to 100— and 4 of 100 or upwards. Tn the size of the farms we learn the misery of Ireand. Of the farms, 210 are under 10 acres each, and of that numher51 are under5 acres. An English or Scotch agriculturist would ask, " what rank in society can such farmers bold ?" He knows that 10 acres of land could not afford a comfortable sub- sistence to a family, if a corn or grazing farm, in a country where none of the advantages of the vicinity of a large town are available. These small tenantry are but nominally farmers, if they pay any rent at all; they can retain only the lowest rate of wages as mere labourers, and such really will be found their condi- tion. It is this sub- division of land ( occasioned in a great measure by the desire to make freeholders) that will keep the Irish people in a state of wretched- ness. The. number of farmers is 436, and of labourers 524, so that the latter only exceeding the former by 88 shews almost a parity of circumstances, or that the whole are reduced to a level of similar poverty. The whole, with the exception of perhaps twenty, must labour with their own hands along with their ser- vants, in all kinds of farm work. The respectable class of farmers acknowledged as such iu Great Britain, seem to be unknown in Ireland, and to this state of things we must ascribe the universal aspect of distress prevailing in the country. WITCHCRAFT. The singular trial in the country, of a mother and her two daughters, for an assault on an aged female suspected by them of witchcraft, noticed in our last Journal, having excited a good deal of conversation, some of our readers may feel amused by a few ex- tracts, as to the nature of witches ami witchcraft, from old writers. The subject is curious, and, it is lamentable to find, by no means obsolete even at the present enlightened day. Waiving ibe consideration of the many controversies formerly kept up on this subject, founded ou miscon- ceptions of different passages of Scripture, it wilt be sufficient to consider it only as a striking article of popular mythology. Witchcraft is defined by Reginald Scot ( in his Dis- covery, ike. p. 284) to be " in estimation nf vulgar peopl vvoma bis own sentiments, " it is in truth a cozening art, wherein the name of Gon is abused, prophaned, and blasphemed, and bis power attributed to a vile crea- ture." And Perkins explains it to be an art serving for the working of wonders, ubv the assistance of the devil, as far as GOD will permit," In modern estimation, it is a kind of sorcery ( especially in wo- men), iu which it is ridiculously supposed that an old woman, by entering into a contract w ith the devil, is enabled in many instances to change lhe course of nature, to raise winds, afflict those that offend them, and do other super- human actions. The term witch, according to Glauville, is derived from the verb u to wit," to know — i. e. '" the knowing woman." Wizard he makes to signify the same, only with the difference of tfie sex. Gale, iu bis Select Cases nf Conscience, touching . Witches and Witchcraft ( 12uio., 1046), savs, " In j every place and parish, every old woman' with a j wrinkled face, a furrowed brow, a hairy lip, agohber j tooth, a squint eve, a squeaking voice, a skull- cap on her head, a spindle in her hand, and a dog or cat by her side, is not only suspected, but pronounced for ii « titeh." That weak pedant James I., whose writings on this subject gave it a sort of fashionable belief Tu bis day, assigns a curious reason iu his Dcemonology, , why there were twenty women given to witchcraft for one man— viz. " For as that sex is frailer than man is, so it is easier to be intrapped into these grosse snares nf the devil!, as was ever well proved to be true, by the serpent's deceiving of Eva al the beginning, » liich makes him the homelier with that sex sensiue." His Majesty in this work, quaintly calls the devil " GOD'S ape, or hangman." : " A witch," says the curious tract, " round about ' our coal fire, according to my nurse's account, must ! be a haggard old woman, living in a little rotten cot- tage under a bill; by a wood side, and must be fre- quently Spinning at the door ; she must have a black cal, two or three broom- sticks, an imp or two, and two or three diabolical teats to suckle her imps. She must be of so dry a nature that if vou flino- her into , I : t M i i. , *. .. Of the Lord Keeper Guildford it is also related, that being upon the circuit at Taunton Dean, he detected an imposture and conspiracy against an old man, charged with having bewitched a young girl, thirteen years of age, w ho, during pretended con- vulsions, took crooked pins into Iter mouth, and spat them afterwards into bystanders' hands. As the Judge went down stairs out of the Court, an ugly obi woman cried out, " Goo bless your worship!" " What's the matter, good woman ?" " said the Judge. " My Lord," said she, " forty yeais a< fo they would have banged me for a witch, a id they could not; and now they would have banged my poor son." By Statute 9 George II ( see Blackstone), it was enacted that no prosecution should iu future be car- ried on against any person for conjuration, witch- craft, sorcery, or inchnntuient. However, the mis- demeanour of persons pretending to use w itchcraft, tell fortunes, or discover stolen yoods by skill in llie occult sciences, is still deservedly punished with a year's imprisonment, and standing four times in the pillory. Thus the Witch Act, a disgrace to our code of English laws, was not repealed till 1730. This, however, did not for some years hinder the outrages of the vulgar, or cure them of their pre- judices, and it was not until a severe and exemplary punishment was inflicted, that a stop was in some degree put lo ibe evil. In 1751 an aged couple were tried by ducking, by the mob, on a supposition that they were witches; when the poor old woman lost her life, and the husband w as with difficulty re- covered. The Jury, on the trial of ihe cause, brought in a verdict of wilful murder against twenty- nine of the ringleaders; the most active of whom," Thomas Colley, a chimney- sweeper, was condemned, exe- cuted, and afterwards hung in chains. This example operated so beneficially, thai we read of uo duckings afterwards. This custom of ducking, and that of weighing ihe suspected persons against the church bible, " were held in ibe times of superstition lo be most effective proofs to try w itches hy ; as was the drawing of blood from them to break their enchantments. Glanville, in bis account of the Daemon of Tedwmth, speaking of a boy thai was bewitched, says, " The boy drew towards Jane Brooks ( the woman who had bewitched him), who was behind her two sisters, and put bis hand upon her, which his father perceiving, imme- diately scratched her face, and drew blond from her. The boy then cried out that lie was well." In Shakspeare's first part of Henry VI., Talbot savs lo the Maid of Orleans— L" I'il have a bout with thee, Devil, or Devil's Dam, I'll conjure Iheo, Blood will 1 draw on thee ; thou art a witch." This superstition is also mentioned by much older writers. On Friday, the lSlh instant, the Rev. Edward Maltby, D. D. Prebendary of Lincoln and Vicar of Buckden and Holheach, was unanimously the river, she will no! sink ; so bard then is her fate" elccte. d Pfeacher lo the Hon.

A singular old gentleman in a neighbouring county, was wai'fed upon the other day with his surgeon's bill, for the purpose of being paid. After cogitating for some time over its contents, he desired the young man who called with it, to tell h is master, that the medicine he would cer- tainly pay for, but as for the visits which he had charged, he should rehire them. Stockport Advertiser. At the Bristol Quarter Sessions, Thomas Nott, aged nine years, John Bickford, ajid 12, and Richard Hammers, a « cd nine, were found guilly of stealing a watch. In passing sentence of seven years'transportation upon them, the Town Clerk observed, that these hoys had repeatedly Ix- eu guilty of petty larcenies, and on account of their extreme youth, had been given into the charge of their parents, who had iu vain endeavoured to reclaim them. It was with pain, and even sorrow, that he looked tow ards the prisoners, one of whom ( Bickford) had actually become fatherless, owing to his profligacy; his unhappy parent, distracted at the conduct of his child, haviug put a period lo his existence! the memory of man." One old author, asserting the iinprobarbililv of witches being able to control Ihe elements, generally ascribed to tlieui, acquaints lis with a number of the charms they were supposed to make use of for ibis purpose— observing that no one of common sense cau believe that a doting old woman can Work these wonders " by casting a flint stone over her left shoulder, towards the west, or hurling a little sea sand up into the element, or welting a broom- twig iu water, and sprinkling the same into the air, or dig- ging a pit in the earth, and putting water therein I and stirring it with her finger; or boiling hogs bristles, or laving sticks across upon a hank where never a drop of water is," See. Grose, la. ughably describes the method of making a witch—" a decrepit superannuated old woman, is tempted by a man iu black to sign a contract to be- come bis, soul and body. On the conclusion of the agreement, he gives her a piece of money, and causes her lo write her name and make her mark on a slip of parchment with her own blood. On departing, • he delivers to her an imp or familiar, in the shape of a cat or kitten, a mole, millerfly, or some other insect or animal." On their sabbaths or general meetings, lie continues, " the sisterhood after being anointed with certain magical ointments, provided by their infernal leader, are sueftesed lo be carried itu- onn- li . . „. . ... rough the air on brooms, eflal staves, spits, & c. after which they have feasting, music, and dancing, the devil himself condescending to play at them on the pipes or cittaru." The Connoisseur says, it is a common notion that a witch can make a voyage lo the East Indies in an egg- shell, or can take a journey of two or three hundred miles across the country on it broom- stick. These, with many others, are among the feats, & c. ascribed to witches and witchcraft, aiid would, in themselves, only excite risibility, had they been at- tended with no evil consequences: when one reads, however, of such melancholy instances of infatuation as the one we have mentioned, and thinks of the nu- merous victims which have been sacrificed to this belief, the subject becomes truly serious and painful. Henry ( Hist, of Great Britain), speaking of our manners between 1399 and 1485, says, so prevalent was this belief, that there was not a man then in England, who entertained the least doubt of Ihe reality of sorcery, necromancy, and oilier diabolical ROBBEHY DISCOVERED.— On the night of Feb. lit, 1822, the Counting House of Lucas, and Co. Bristol, was entered by some pel- son ur persons their unknown, and property in Specie, Bauk of England, and Cash Notes, amounting- to £ 480 ; a check drawn hy Mr. Henry Poyne, on Messrs. liic- kels, Thorne, and Co. for £ 135 14s. 6d and a Gold Watch, were taken away, no part of which was either heard of or recovered. There were, at the same time, and in the someplace, various bills which wanted the in- dorsement of the Company, not one of which was touched. This robbery was so effectually performed ; the proceedings were so secretly and so'welf arrang- ed ; aud it was accomplished with so much appareut knowledge of Ihe premises, that some Magistrates and Officers were induced to conclude, some one belonging to the concern must have perpetrated it. In consequence of this feeling, ( in conjunction with the circumstance of having had a small key made to unlock a drawer containing books and papers only, lo which occasional reference was necessary, which arts. And Strype, in his Annals of the Reformation, was not ordered ill secret, but with the knowledge mforms^ us, that Bishop Jewel, preaching before and consent of Ihe acting partner, and which could Queen Elizabeth, in 1558, addressed her in his sermon with, " It may please your Grace to understand, that witches and sorcerers within ibis last few years, are marvellously increased within your Grace's realm. Your Grace's subjects pine away even unto death; their colour fadeth; their flesh rottelll ; their speech is benumbed ; their senses are bereft. I pray God they never practise further than upon the subject." And Strype himself, speaking of a Mrs. Dier, taken up, in 1578, for these imaginary practices against the Queen, hut afterwards released, says, " whether it were the effect of magic or proceeded from some natural cause ; but tlie Queen was, in sonic part of this year, under excessive anguish by pains of her teeth; insomuch that she took no rest for divers niglils, and endured great torment night and day." The Bill brought into Parliament in Ibis reign, making enchantments and witchcraft felony, he supposes to have been occasioned on these accounts. neither facilitate nor retard ihe robbery,) suspicion fell upon a young man, a nephew of one of the partners, who had heen brought up ill the Counting House ; who had a considerable balance of cash o" f his own in the hands of the concern ; whose income and prospects placed him above a temptation of this kind, and whose conduct, in regard to money, had been invariably correct. Under ibis unmerited stigma, the feelings of an innocent person have been wounded, and bis peace of mind and character have been suf- fering for upwards of fourteen months, when at hist, the individuals who committed the robbery were dis- covered in the following accidental and extraordinary manner :- C. Widdiconibe, ( son of Mr. J. Widdicnuihe, who lias been upwards of thirty years with Lucas and Co.) is a sailor; and in Nov. last, happened to be in London, whence lie was bound to the West India Islands. While in London, when passing through a street, in the neighbourhood of the Old Bailey By Act of Parliament, 33 Henry VIII., the law Prison, be met a female ( Fanny Iligo- s,) whom he'iiad adjudged all sorcery and witchcraft to be felony, : before heen acquainted with in Bris"( ol. He and tlr OXFORII CIRCUIT.— The following is given as an authentic statement of the matter at issue between Mr. Cm- wood, the Barrister, ami the Gentlemen of the Bar on the Oxford Circuit: " Before Mr. C. appeared in Court, he addressed a letter to his brother Barristers at Oxford, inti- mating the change he contemplated, and expressing a w ish to become a Member of the Circuit Club, as is usual in such cases. At Worcester, lie received a reply ( through Mr. Jervis), that, as it was contrary to the 4 known and established rule of tike profession' for a senior Barrister to change his Circuit, the Barristers of the Oxford Circuit had come to an unanimous resolution, that they could not receive Mr. C. as a Member of the Club, intimating at the same time that this resolution arose from professional aud not from personal considerations. Mr. Cunvood, in his reply, denied the existence of any ' known and established rule,' in proof of which he adduced some cases where senior Counsel had changed their Circuit; but he observed, that as, in a question of this nature, neither party should be judges in their own cause, he should, next Term, submit the point in dis- cussion lo the Profession at large, and regulate his conduct according to their judgment. Thus the matter rests at present." without benefit of clergy. And by statute of the first of James I., it was ordained, " that all persons invoking any evil spirit, or consulting, covenanting witli, employing, feeding or rewarding any evTl spirit, & c. should be guilty of felony and suffer death." Numerous were the victims to these absurd Acts. Besides those that perished in the preceding reigns, Janies I. absolutely appointed an officer with the title of Witch finder- General, who ha. d a salary for dis- covering of supposed offenders in this way. Granger, in his Biographical History of England, speaking of tiie engraved print of this wretch, says, " the old, the ignorant, aud the indigent, such as could neither plead their own cause, nor hire an advocate, all were Ihe victims of his credulity, spleen, and avarice. He pretended to be a great critic in special marks, w liieh female got into coniersut'mn, during which she told him, she was going to the Old Bailey lo seeW. Holland, ! who had been convicted a few days before of Uurg- , lary, and then under sentence of death ; and thai it j was this very man, in conjunction with another, ( J. Mahor) then in ilie Newgate of Bristol, who had robbed the Counting House of Lucas and Co.'.! When C Widdicombe obtained this information, lie i did not make it known to the Company, as lie ought, | to have done, but pioceeded on bis voyage " for the West Indies.— In consequence, however, " if bad weather, the vessel had not proceeded far before she sprang a leak, and it gained so fast upon the crew that they were obliged to run her on shore off Poole, and she became a complete wreck.— After this ill. fate Widdicombe returned lo Bristol, when , , - , - - —• he related the circiimslance of having met tlie female were only moles, scorbutic spots, or warts, which 1 in London, ns well as Ibe conversation which arose frequently grow long aud pendulous in old age, but — Shortly after this communication, the Sheriffs' - I„ : — M T C ...

His ultimate method of proof was by tying the thumbs and toes of the suspected person,' about whose waist was fastened a cord, the ends of which were held on the banks of a river, by two men, in whose power it was lo strain or slacken il, thereby letting llie person float or sink at pleasure. Tlie experi- ment of swimming was at length tried upon Hopkins in his own way, and be was upon the event condemn- ed, and, il seems, executed as a wizard. Hopkins had banged in one year no less than sixty reputed witches in hisown county of Essex." The accounts of succeeding executions of this kind are lamentable. At Newcastle- upon- Tyne, in 1649 and 1650, there were no less than one wizard and fourteen witches put to death, all of whose names are upon record. The Magistrates of ibis town, following the example set them as above, employed a Scotchman as their witch- finder, to whom they paid twenty shillings n- piece for all he could con- demn, and besides allowed liiui bis travelling ex- penses. And from a relation printed as lute as 1716, it appears that a Mrs. Hicks, and her daughter, a child only nine years of age, were hanged fo" r witch- craft in Huntingdon. Similar instances of these horrid executions, both there and in other counties, are numerous. As the times became more enlightened, the judges began to set their faces against this sort of cruelly. The anecdote told of Chief Justice Holt, may be quoted as an instance of this, and an evidence of his good sense. A woman was brought before him while on the circuit, to be tried as a witch. The Judge asked the witnesses what proof they had to adduce of her being a witch. " My Lord," said they, " she can fly !" " Woman," says he, address- ing himself lo the prisoner, " can you fly! because if you can, I advise you to fly out of Court aj fast as possible— I know of no law ftgainst flying." Officers, Morgan and Smith, were applied lo, and requested to write to Mr J J. Smith, Officer of Bow- Street, who had been sent for, aud who came down to Bristol immediately after the robbery had been per. petrated. Mr Smith went to Newgale, w here be saw Holland, aud in ihe presence of Mr VVontner, the keeper, the following confession was made, viz:— That they were told in London, £ 1400 were generally to be found on the premises.— They came to Bristol, on purpose to commit the robbery. They entered at the wicket and gave the dog some liver to quiet him. They then went up stairs ( into Ibe Counting House), tried lo find out Ihe wards of Ibe locks lo get keys made, which they got, came another night and committed the robbery, and bis share of the booty amounted to about £ 220. Thai he dues not know what became nf the watch, because it formed part of Mailer's share, who took it to London with him. That lie ( Holland,) went to Birmingham sourt after the robbery was committed, but returned lo Bristol in a month, where he remained till after March Fair, when lie returned lo London. All the Cash Notes taken away were circulated in London ; and Maher and himself were in Bristol eight days be- fore the robbery making preparations.— Maher was taken into custody for breaking into the house of Mr. Allies, 25, Prichard Street, Bristol, on Tuesday night, 17th Dec. last; tried for that offence on Monday, 7tb instant, was convicted, and oil Tuesday the 8th, was sentenced lo suffer death Printed and published by W.
