' ' Perth, April SC. 1,823. , - AT, BRIDEWELL, The 32Ik May, - 1823-, in Presence of a Meeting of the Commissioners. , - COMPLAINTS having been brought forward, by different- individuals recently liberated from confinement ' in, Bridewell, touching the accuracy hf the' Accounts of their Eariurigs. andalledging improper treatment on tbe part oflfte Governor, the Commissioners fell it their duty, in justi'fe to the Public, and all concerned, to enter Upon an immediate and minute investigation of such complaints, more especially as they learned that reports had got into circulation throughout the County, which, if allowed to remain unrefuted. could not fail deeply to affect the benefits of the Institution under their charge. The Commissioners are now justified in stating, that there- suit of their inquiries has satisfied them, that the complaints al- luded to are altogether without foundation. Bv' an examina- tion of the Books keot by Mr. WATSON, Governor they find that- the Accounts of the Prisoners, by whom charges of inac- curacy have been preferred, are entered with much regularity and correct ties— that each prisoner is allowed the same prices' and value for his work as are given for Manufactures of a si- ! milardescription in Aberdeen; and that the deductions made 1 fur maintenance and other articles connected with his labour, j are in conformity with the Bye Laws and Regulations of the i House, and tliose of similar Establishments in Edinburgh and Glasgow. They also find that the Food allowed to prisoners is sufficient in quantity, and wholesome in quality ; and tfiat their treatment in other respects has been such as to merit the approbation of the Commissioners. r Tbe Commissioners also felt it their duty, to bring before them, the individual on Whose suggestion and misrepresenta- tion the complaints and reports in question seems to' have ori- ginated, who having, at the desire of the Commissioners, exa- mined the Hooks kept by the Governor, subscribed a certificate on the Accounts of ihe Prisoners making tlie complaint, de- . Glaring his entire satisfaction with their accuracy, aud his re- gret at having afforded any incorrect information on the sub- ject. The foregoing Minute and Proceedings were ordered to he i published for tile satisfaction of all concerned. The whole I Books and Accounts of the Institution are now, as they have ' been since its commencement, open for the inspection and exa- | mination of every person interested ; and it is therefore hoped, that a knowledge of this circumstance will prevent thfe recQr- rence of future misrepresentations.

The Marqui* of LANS DOWN presented a petition Train the Chamber of Commerce <> f Glasgow against the Hill before the Mouse for Hejrulaiittg Weights and Measures. The Noble Marquis commented on the prayer of the petition, and Tirjjxsi the necessi'y of the most serious attention tyying paitl to the Kiilijcct, which. foe said, was one of considerable impor- tance, before : my alteration wa* peimitted to lake place in the weights and measures as now fixed by law. He concluded by requestiwj? first ' he petition might be read at length. Tire reading Clerk having observed some informality in it, presented it to the Lord Chancellor. The LOUD CHANCELLOR— It is deficient in weight. and caivnot be received. — ( A laugh.) The Marquis of LANS DOWN admitted it could not be received, as he perceived it was not signed according to the regulations ot* the House, and, therefore, he should withdraw it; he trusted no progress would be made in the mean time with the Bill against which the petition was presented. The petition was withdrawn, and, after some routine busi- ness, . their Lordships adjourned, Tuesday, May 6 « SPANISH AFFAIRS. Earl GREY postponed, until Monday, his intended mo. on for farther papers on the late negotiations regarding Spain. He should then enter into some explanation of his own sentiments, with reference particularly to certain un- founded charges brought against him respecting opinions he bad formerly expressed. lie should show thai his opinions were quite consistent ; and that, indeed, which he had stated recently, was in perfect conformity with what he said in the year IS 10. He lamented that so long a postponement was necessary, as the subject was Import ant. The House was then ordered to be summoned for Mon- day. Lord CAWDOR moved that the evidence taken regard- inn the administration of justice in Wales be referred to the Committee on Appeals. The motion was opposed by Lord Liverpool4 and after some remarks by Lord Colchester, the Lord Chancellor, and the Mafquis of Bute, it was negatived, when the House ad- journed. SCOTS APPEAL.

AFFAIRS OF I RET. AND. In answer to interrogatories put by the Marquis of LANS- J DOWN, The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, that the Insurrection i Act would be brought before ihe other House of Parliament { on Monday next. Other measures were also under considera- ; tion ; nd he wished every Noble Lord interested in the af- ; fair ; of Ireland would give his assistance to make whatever • measures might be adopted for the benefit of Ireland effectual, j As lo events which had recently taken place in that country, • they would be communicated whenever the papers came be- fore their Lordships. He was not prepared to say that, for the t present, any augmentation of the military force in Ireland was • intended. S Lord KING wished to know, whether, from the con- nection subsisting between this country and Ireland for the last tWentv vears, evils had not arisen from it. The Earl of LI VK U POOL said, he had no difficulty in answering that question decidedly in the negative.-— Adjourn- ed till Monday. were 77 priv. r. c- rr> for tiial at (.!•<• quarter seisioiVR, 22 of whovn were comni'ted for offences against the game laws. Mr. Cobbett sta'ed that, of these 22, nine were committed by Ma gistrate-; w! m wore clergymen. It also appeared that at the late assizes for H ints, sixteen persons were condemned, only two of whom si'Ho red ri^ ath, and these two were poachers.— The petitioner al* o stated, that in looking farther into the sen- ft) could not but think that even the tiight I fences passed on the last Circuit, he found that whilst a man convicted of counterfeiting the coin of the realm was sentenced was the representative of nineteen. He ( Mr. Cak- raft) must, however, be excused if he took their word in preference to that of the Right Hon Gentleman ; and he supposed that, as they stated, some of the most respectable individuals in the place favoured this petition, though the Right Hon, Gentleman knew nothing of them, fie hoped the Hon, Gentleman would bring in the hill which he intended proposing to the House; I and he ( Mr. Calcraft) could not but think that Hon. Gentleman opposite, who, he believed, had been pre- vented from going to govern India, that he might stay here to oppose Parliamentary reform, could in this case hardly refrain from siding with the friends of the measure. Lord BINNING was at a loss to understand with what • race a sarcasm upon close representation could proceed from the Member for Wareham ( Mr. Calcraft.) After all he ( Lord Binning) had heard of the meeting at Edinburgh, of the stage effect ( for it was held in the theatre), of the exertions - used, & c. he was astonished that the petition was signed by so few per- sons. It had been lying for a considerable time in Edinburgh, and vet, out of a population of about 140,000 persons, it was signed by only about 7000. To. those who knew how easy it was in any great town to obtain the signatures to a petition, oft all manner of men, all manner of women, and all manner of j children, this circumstance would not appear strange. For him- self. he certainly should not be one to support the Hon. and Learned Gentleman's bill ; for he was. and had always de- clared himself to be, unfriendly to any Parliamentary reform, however partial or temperate ; if once tire House began to change the repiesentation, it would be impossible to say where they would stop. The case of Glasgow was stronger than that I of Edinburgh, for the population of Glasgow was larger than I that of any place in the island but. London, and yet Glasgow was only one of five boroughs having collectively a single re- presentative—( hear, hear). He trusted, therefore, that the House would resist any commencement of a course, the ter- mination of which no one could foresee. Mr. J. P. GRANT said, as the Noble Lord had a funda- mental objection to all sorts of reform, he ( imitating the con- duct of the Noble Lord towards his H011. Friend) would hold no argument with him on that subject. He, however, pro- tested against the doctrine, that no defects in the constitution were to be remedied, but w here acts of corruption had been proved. General FERGUSON said, this petition was signed by 6800 persons, and no person had been allowed to sign it who did not hold a house of the rent of five pounds, or upwards.— There were but 2- 1,000. houses so rated in Edinburgh, and many j of these were held by women. about 21.000 families in Ed in- ' to 12 months imprisonment, a man for housebreaking to 24 months, a poacher was sentenced to .24 months and hard labour. He concluded by moving that the petition should be brought up. Lord PALMERSTON said one word was necessary to say on this subject. The petitione* states, that the only indi- viduals executed at Winchester were poachers. Now, it should also be known, that one of these poachers was uncon- victed of murdering tl.; gamekeeper, and the other of discharg- ing his gun at an unarmed matt, and lodging the contents in his bodv. * Mr. BROUGHAM did not intend to defend poachers, or find fault with the sentence and execution of these men any more than he intended to defend the act of the man tried at the Old Bailey the other day for murdering a man on the high seas ; but the murder on the high seas was caused bv an ab- surd law, which gave to English vessels the right to tire shot into foreign vessels when 50 miles fi% m the English shore, so also did the murders committed by poachers arise out of a law equally absurd and monstrous. Mr. BiCNNETof Wilts thought some alteration was ne- cessary in the game laws. Sir T. BARING corroborated the statement of Lord Pal- me rston. The petition was then received. Mr. A HEIl'CROM BY postponed his notice relative to Mr. Bortbwick's case to the 3d of June. Mr. GOULBURN gave notice, that lie would, on Mon- day next, move the renewal of the Irish insur ectiou act. On the motion of Mr. CALCRAFT, the House resolved itself into a Committee, to proceed with tiie inquiry into the conduct of the Sheriff of Dublin 7 A u rsday, May 8 • PETITION OF MR. CARLILE. Mr, HUME presented a Petition from Richard Carlile, a prisoner in Dorchester Gaol The Hon. Member began by characterising Mr. Carlile as a man of the highest vroral character in England. He was an exemplary head of a family, and an excellent neighbour. The prosecutions against Mr. Mr. HUME said there wereauout ai. ww . » « » » .. 1*^... { burgh. The number of houses that paid L. 5 and upwards ? Carlile and his family had produced no other effVct than that as rent was but 10,168. In respectability and iu number, of materially increasing the sale of his publications. Paint's therefore, this petition was signed by three- fourths, if not bv theological works on their first appearance had scarcely f - und four- fifths, of the whole population comprised within the limits of the city of Edinburgh. Mr. DRU. MMOND. admitting this petition to be signed by 7000 persons, would ask any man who knew how these names had been collected, and who knew that it was at one time impossible to walk a hundred yards without meeting a number of persons in the street who were trying to induce in- dividuals to sign the petition, if it ought to be considered to express the sense of the inhabitants of Edinburgh ? He was of opinion that such was not the fact. The petition was ordered to lie on the table. Mr. ABERCROMBY, be printed, took occasion to state, that at every place where this petition had lain for signature, some of the individuals with whom it had originated remained with it to see that it was signed by none but those who held houses at live pounds per annum and upwards. Where it was thought to have been signed by improper p rsoir% those names had been cut out, even at the risk of sacrificing some of those who had a right to remain. Out of ten thousand one hundred and sixty- eight persons, who held houses at the rate described, six thousand eight hundred* ar. d forty- seven had signed ' his petition. Such being the fact, thete was nothing to justify the remarks which had been made on the numbers by which it was signed. If any purchasers. Up to the commencement of proceedings against Mr. Carlile, not more than 250 copies of the b<>< k had been circni- ited, but 3000 were S'ld within a very shor ime after the prosecution. The cause of The Republican" ( be- fore called The Political Register,*') had been no less assist- , ed by the Society for the Suppression of Vice ; its circulation j had been under 2000 at the commencement of the prosecutions \ • and in the course of those prosecutions it had risen to fifteen i thousand. The course which had been taken with respect to ? Mr. Cathie in the Court of King's Bench was such as well 1 | entitled him to Complain. Upon the ground that the Judge : m moving that the petition should \ cou, d not h* ar t!> e Christian religion questioned by a nefen- ant, he had been debarred of that full hearing which was his right, as an English subject. The petitioner also complained of the interruption given by the Court to his defence, and of the oppressive sentence passed upon him of throe years in*. , pfisoriment and 15001 fine, and also of the still more op- 1 pressive execution of a levari Jacias, which took away from him all power of paying the fine, and subjected him in default ! thereof to continual imprisonment. He ( Mr. Hume) must' be allowed to sav, that a course so arbitrary was more worthy of the Inquisition than an English tribunal ; and the only eff. ct of such proceedings as had been proved in this very case, would be to awaken a spirit of enthusiasm among the , the House had heard lo the regulations of the silk trade in | SpittaMields, the Scotch linen trade laboured under still greater objections. By law it was regulated that the thread of vvhieh linen was made was to be of a certain thickness. It was stated, that a certain quantity of thread was to be divided into 1.? hanks, and no more, and each hank to contain 120 threads and 110 more. The table cloth was to be of a certain length and I breadth and no more ; and an act, of 40 sections, was filled I with enactments equally useless, but equally vexatious to the manufacturer, as each enactment contained a penalty. Still the House would learn, with surprise, that there were some in- dividuals in Scotland who thought the property of the trade depended upon it. Experience, however had proved the con- ^ trary. and he should now propose a resolution for repealing the statute, which was the statute of the 1st of George 1. The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded by a resolution Chat the Chairman be instructed to move for leave to bring iu a bill to amend the linen act of Scotland. General FERGUSON felt himself called on to thank the Right Honourable Gentleman for bringing forward the pre- j sent measure, w hich could not fail to prove beneficial to the linen trade of Scotland. Mr M A BERLY also, on his own behalf, and on behalf of the people of Scotland, had to thank the Right Hon. Gentleman for the adoption of the present measure, and for the very candid and liberal view which he had taken of the subject.. Sir H. PARNELL thought the Right Honourable Gen- tleman should have given his attention to the Irish linen laws also. Mr. HUME thought the Right Honourable Gentleman had acted judiciously, in keeping the question distinct, and ' not mixing it up with the Irish or any other system. It could ; not but be highly gratifying to the House and to the country to see the libera! principle on which trade and commerce were at present conducted by the Government. After a few words from Mr. Ricardo, Mr. Huskisson, and Mr, Maberlv in explanation, the resolution was agreed, to, and leave given to bring in a bill. RUSSI AN AND AUSTRIAN TROOPS, i Mr. BROUGHAM wished to put a question to the Right j Honourable Gentleman. He would ask, was the report • true that a large army of Russians was assembled on the Vistula ? Mr. CANNING said, it was certain that the Russians had a force on the Vistula ; he could not, however, say that it was a large one. Mr. BROUGHAM said, though this answer was not very consoling, he must put another question ; he wished to ask the Right Honourable Gentleman- whether the Austrian contingent had yet quitted Naples, and whether they were not still linger- ing on the Po ? Mr. CANNING said the troops had quitted the Neapolitan territory ; whether they were entirely withdrawn from the Milanese he could not positively say.

Wednesday, May 7. Mr. RICARDO presented petitions from certain linen j manufacturers in the neigblwiurbood of Arbroath, relative to the ; stamping of linen. Mr. CURWEN presented a petition from certain indivi- praying for a duty on foreign tallow, RICA RDO opposed the prayer of the petition. M. BENN'ET strongly urged the repeal of the tax on tallow canities, which, he said, was a * ax chiefly falling on the poorer and more necessitous classes in this country ; he was prcsuad- ed the repeal of this tax would be a great relief to the public, and might be made up to the Government by a small duty on ham had moved an arrest of judgment in a able length, af - r which the Petitioner was heard for a still f t0 l, c reasonable longer fitn in mitigation of punishment. Thus much for ( he i conduct of the trial. The Petitioner after these v-. u . pro- | ceedings, had boasted that lie would continue • publia| t the same works— that his wife was wiUi ig to bee n.- a martyr in this cause, anil if she should be prosecuted, co vic.,. 1, and imprisoned, that he had a sister who v., obi lake her place, anil encounter tile same perils ; and i titc same fate should overtake his sister, then tie know t ier were hundred", who. from their poverty and opinions w ul>> be willing to run the that i same risk-, over and over gain. Haw well he had k pt bis word the House would judge, when tney should h- aru iliat h s wife, and sister, and others of his agents, hud iieen convicted, and were now in prison for the offences, and that - t this mo- ment a prosecution was pending. against another of his agents oil the same account. As to levariJacias the whole proceed- ing w- as according to the usual course of law. If not. Mr. Carlile had only to move the Court, and the writ would have been stayed. As to the. inability to pay the line, by the state- ment jusr niade by the Hon. Member, it appeared that Mr. Carlile had sold 13,000 copies of the work in question, athalf- a- guinea each. So that, by the admission of the Peti- ioner, the prosecution must have put much more money into his pocket than the fine levied upon him. Mr. LENN A It I") thought that the punishment was much too revere. It would lead some persons almost to a belief, that as Ministers had lost the power of perpetual banishment, in pass- ing the Six Acts, the Judges were disposed to make up the deficiency by continuing a course of perpetual imprisonment. Mr. IIU. ME said a few words in corroboration of his pre- vious argument, that punishments of inordinii'e severity for offences which wholly related to religious opinion would only have the effect of inflaming a spirit uf enthusiasm and defiance of the operation of the laws. Mr. DENMAN thought the punishment endured by the Petitioner enough for bis offence. He rejoiced that the joint- stock prosecutions of a certain company had apparently come to a close, on account of the common purse having been ex- hausted. He hoped that it never would be filled again ; for certain he was, that their prosecutions must have been incal- culably mischievous, bv propagating the evil which they pre- tended to root out. He thought that Ministers might agree to modify the fine required of the Petitioner. Mr. PEEL said, that it was admitted that the prosecutions had caused so extensive a sale of the libellous books that the Petitioner must have been fully enabled to pay the fine. He apprehended that Mr. Carlile was not in prison merely for the non- payment of the fine, as he was also called upon for recog- nizances for his good behaviour. Mr. Carlilc had continued, according to bis promise, u - to the latest minute, to publish the ottensive'oooks. He did not wish to press the circumstance against him, ' out cett- » iniy it would form a very good ground | of necessity for using precaution as to the persons who were j Teat ihe foresaid right of the Teyi ds granted to Patrons as said is sbail tie extended to the Teytds of all 1' a.- onages and other Benefices anil that the sam" sbail belong to the Patrons^ with the burden s , ,- ified in the , id Act. It fart net' appeared tlia. tiie I'. arl of Sea field, prede- cessor of the appellant, had anno 17l) 9, acquired right to a pari of the teiuds of this parish us singular successor, by judicial sale, along with tiie lauds to winch they be- long, viz. the lands and teinds of the baro. iv of . iuyne, formerly the property of < Igiivie of lSoyne. Upon these documents, aod these statutes, tue par- ties were at issue lit fore the late Lord Ueston, Ordinary, to whom the'preparation of this locality had been re. nitt- \ lthough, however, the. stipend of ; cd bv the Court, and who. on 28th November 1815, 1 nsenni- oblo from nil { Finds, that Mr. AVrcromby . a parochial clergymen is a burden inseparable from all tithes, thev are subject to various degrees of liability ; in the words of Mr. ErsJeine, " some more directly, and " others only sufistitiarie, according to the different titles " under which they are enjoyed." The rules of alloca- tion established in practice are distinctly set forth bv the Lord Ordinary's interlocutor in this cause, 25th Feb. 1817. \ series of statutes passed in Scotland before the Union, and the recent liberality of the British Parlia- ment have so fixed and ascertained the legal rights of the Scottish Church, that to the great comfort and tranquil- lity, both of clorgv and laity, very few causes of litiga- tion can now occur between a parochial minister and his heritors, although questions of law sometimes arise among the heritors themselves, in regard to the order in which their teinds ( tithes) shall be allocated, or awarded, to such minister. Of this last, the present cause affords an example. The Court below, anno 179f>, modified to the minis- ter of the parish of Fordyce, in the county of Uatilf. an augmentation of his stipend ; it was farther augmented in 1812; and, in the judicial proceedings for appor- tioning the whole ( proccss of locality) a scheme, or scale, of allocation was constructed by the proper officer of court, upon the following principle : *' Bv this locality, " the old stipend is continued, and the augmentation " allocated upon the different heritors in proportion to " their free teinds, to which each heritor has an herita- •' ble right," i. e. it was assumed, that the teind of each owner of land in the parish was liable equally, or pari passu, in proportion to its extent, because each owner of land was held to have an heritable right lo his tcinds. To this mode of allocation, it was objected bv the appellants, that Mr. Abercromby of Glassn, and the respondent, had not heritable rigl. ta to their teinds, which were therefore liable to allocation before those of the Noble Appellant's lands, to which his Lordship had such a right : And the legal discus:/ ons arising iu con se- quence, octween these parties, depended npon the state of their respective titles, which may be thus represented : Upon 9th of GlasSa has produced no right toll se mis, and that they must be ext. austed before those of the Earl of Seafiehl and Sir G.- orge Abercromby are liable; ordain* Sir . Tames Gordon to produce the extracted decree founded oir by him within fourteen days, under certification. In respect that Sir George Abercromby possesses his teinds tinder an as- signation to a lack in 165C, which makes the assignee liable'in augmentation only in proportion to the other teinds of thu- parish j and that the Earl has tight to the teinds of his lands under tin act 1600, c. which reserves taclcs previously granted; Finds, that, during the subsistence of the tack, tile- Earl and Sir George fall to be allocated on, inter se pari/* us « . At this stage of the proceedings, the appellants pro duced a Crown charter and infel'tnient, dated in 1750,. of the Earl's lands in theparish, with a clause eumdecimisz And the cause having been, on the death of Lord lies- ton, remitted to the Lord Criugletie, as Ordinary, his Lordship, bv interlocutor, 25th February 1817, Find" that the order of allocating stipends, as laid down by all authorities, is, that the free teindsin the hands of the titu- lar and, ofcour- c. ( lie tein ts of such heiitors as have no right lo thcin, being io that - itti ition, are fust liable, yd. That where there are lack- • f teinds, tin- tack- luty payable to the- titular or, p iron isn - x liable " d. l'h it the teinds themselves, under the lease, as being he'd • a temporary right only, are liable tenia loco ; and, last oi all t ie teir. ds of heritors, in- cluding those of the titular or patroi, W.

Therefore, alters the interlocu- tor complained of, so far as to find, that the teinds of Si- George Abercromby's lands, to which lie has right only by i lease, which last no longer titan the year 181. J, are liable to IK- exbaused before any p irt of the teinds of the lands pertainiu » to the Earl of Seafield, the patron, can bo local led upon ; but, in respect that the said Earl obtained tight to his teinds in virtue only of the act 1G90, cap. 2,5. though they appear now to have been inserted in a charter from the Crown in 17J0, willi an infeftment thereon j and by ihe said statute his Lord- ship is expressly burdened with then existing tacks, or proro- gations of talk ,; as also that, by the assignation lo Sir George Abercromby's author in 1S5C tile assignee is declared to he liable for augmentation only in proportion to tho other teiuds of the parish ; finds. That Sir George Jlurcromby is entitle/! to relief from the said liar!, of such part of the minister's sti- pend as he shall pay yearly, over ami nlwee what has been pais! by him in lime past, whirr the former locality, during the cur rency of the said lack, in terms of the case of Edzell, 9 th Dcc. 1715. The same Lord Ordinary, on 13th January 1813, " ir, re- ' it the predecessor of the represeuter ( appellant) « - Sir T. tion, which, he said, would operate to give relief to our own growers , at present we were giving encouragement to foreign- ers at ihe expense of our own growers and manufacturers. In sentation, was to strike at the r iot of any particular corruption, when found out ? Here, however, there was no imputation of the kind. The election for tie Representative of Edinburgh was conducted at the present d » y as it had invariably been ; and would the House, without the occurrence of any crime or de- linquency, listen for a moment to any proposition for a change in that mode uf representation which the articles of the Union protected from infringement? Mr. KENNEDY impressed upon the House the necessity of paying particular attention to the petition presented by his Hon. and Learned Friend. He did not wish tointroduce the question of burgh reform, of which the House bad heard so much. The petitioners did not dictate to the House tiie remedy they were to give them, they only staled the grievances ; and he should bo sorry to see the titne come, when the respectable and numerous householders of Edinburgh should unite iu one sentiment, that, whatever their real condition, it was of no use to lay their grievances before that House. Mr. CALCRAFT said, the House had only been lately informed of the stale of the representation of the city of Edin- burgh ; that the Gentleman representing it was in fact the re- presentative of a burgh tow n. The supposed number of his Constituents was reduced, to thirty three, which number was reduced to nineteen,. ,. 1|< H bejpg the number of self- elected electors by which ihe Right Hon. Gentleman w- as returned. He noticed the very easy manner in which the Right Hon. Gentleman had passed and re- passed, and got himself elected or re- elected, while in the enjoyment of a lucrative sinecure of L. 2.500 per amuim. He. however, did not know but what h* was doing injury to the cause of reform, by thus dwelling on Ihe happy course which he bad pursued with these self- electing ( lectors. To- night the Right Hon. Gentleman had denied that this petition s| Hilce iheseust'of Ibe city from which became. A petition, subscribe I but by six or .. veil thousand persons, ha4 beeu thus described by a Right lion.

He ( Mr. Feel) thought that a- the margin uf the P.- tf. deen tion contained the titles of all the offensive books sold by the ' ' Petitioner, if the House should print his Petition, they would give a currency and publicity to them which it was on all ac- counts desirable to avoid. Counsel had advised, that only so much of all the Petitioner's stock had been sold as amounted lo 351, in order that the other parts of it should not go abroad. He therefore submitted to the Hon. Gentleman, that all the | put poses he could wish for would be gained bv laying ihe l'e- tiiion on the table: it would, perhaps, be expedient lo h August 1601, Patrick Darg, parson of j spect tint the united parishes of L'ordycc, & i\ with consent of the J quired, ? na patron of the parish of Fordyce, the tirularity » f IVishop and Chapter of Aberdeen, of the synod of Abcr- of a Commission of the General Assembly, and of was himself a landed proprietor as well as the Hon.

He considered the landed inte- 1 8 •' ...-.. . rest as sufficiently protected by the corn laws, and the restraint laid on the importation of foreign corn. He must oppose the the tax on foreign tallow, not because he considered it would fall mi Russia, but because he considered the tax would ulti- mately fall on our own consumer. Mr. BENNET repeated Ins former argument ill support. Altera few words from Mr. CURWEN the petition was ordered to be printed. Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL presented petiions from Maidstone and Folkstone against coal duties. General DOVE I ON presented similar petitions from Chesterfield. Mr. LINDSAY presened petitions from Dundee, and other places, against the linen laws. Mr. F. BUXTON postponed his notice on the subject of si very till Hie 15th iust. Lord NUGEN I' postponed his notice on ihe subject of English Catholics till the 2Sih inst. Mr. BROUGHAM bad to present a petition from an indi- vidual well known, Mr. W. Cobbett, against a bill now pend- ing, hawng for its object todegalize the sale of game by Lords ot Manors, and other individuals. He particularly intreats the attention of the House to this subject, and states a fact, which he ( Mr. B.) could not but think deserving of the most serious consideration of the House. Mr. Cobbett stated, that itnppearcd by the caleudai for the county of Berks-, tlmt there the patron, let in tack, or lease, to James Ogilvie, eldest son of Sir Walter Ogilvie of Fintllator, Knight, ( the patron, ancestor of the Noble Appellant,) be lost if the list in the margin were not also printed. If the House, however, thought fit, he had no objection to the ex- punging that part. Mr. PEEL could not agree to this course, which would be derogatory to the House. They should either print all or none. Mr. HUME then withdrew his motion, reserving to him- self the power of bringing it forward in some other shape. The Petition was then laid on the table. 1! REACH OF PRIVILEGE. Colonel BARRY rose for the purpose of calling the atten- tion of the house to an article in a newspaper respecting the pending inquiry into the conduct of the Sheriff of Dublin. Sir M. w. RIDLEY thought, that as the paragraph did not contain any reflection upon the character of any member of the House, although its insinuations were injurious to the characters of others, enough had been done iu the notice which had been already taken of it. After a few words the motion was withdrawn. The Order of the Day was then read for proceeding with, the inquiry into the Conduct of the Sheriff uf Dublin. Friday, May 9. SCOTCH LINEN ACTS.

In thist osc Cieorge Hi id, Esq. of ilatho Bank. near Edin- burgh, ."' a i the appellate, anil Mrs. Jean Heid. otherwise ' Liiog. w;> l the respondent ; and the question was. whether stUe parties fid or did not stand towards each other in the re- lation of he ibaiul and v'ite ? Thejtid jesin Scotland had unanimously decided this qttes- tiiHi in the ; dfirmative. In Scot), lid. marriaee is equally rali'f, whether the engage- ment he ent Vred into in a regular or in an irregular form. If ^ the marriage be irregular, the celehratur and witnesses are liable , to certain p fairies : but the marriage is not less valid, if it { can be prov rtl that the parties have mutuary given the e.- m.- . lehsus < le pr vsenli in mntriinonium. The circumstances of the j present case, as stated tin the part of the respondent, were as ; follows: — Her father, Alexander I. aing, was employed in i country labrtir by the appellant, Mr. Reid. The respondent was reared i') her father's house, and was distinguished by the notice of the appellant even when she was at school. She was born the lot l> November 1789, and about 1S02 was engaged as a servant i n the house of the appellant; and soon afterwards be began to talk to her of marriage. Mr. Reid ( it is alleged) was much under the influence of his mother, sistc rs, and other relations, and also ( perhaps) ex- tremely alive to public opinion. He was apprehensive of " The world's dread laugh, Whi< th scarce the firm philosopher can heat." He was, titer 1fore, extremely anxious to conceal his attach- ment to the r ispondent ; but he constantly flattered himself, and her, that lie would one day come boldly fort ard and avow his cngageme; its. It is not wonderful that in the relative situa- tion of the pat lies, he should have gained such an ascendancy ever her mind,, as in all respects to influence her conduct. lie was more than l 10 years older than herself; he was in posses- sion of a clear estate worth 50 or L 60 000 ; he had the ad- j dress, the odu cation, and manners of a gentleman, added to a prepossessing ippearance. Hence he easily took possession of the mind of tl. ! e respondent when emerging out of childhood, and from that time she was led to regard herself as the destined wile of a gem l< man of respectability. No human being ever entertained a s i- pir ion that she acted in a manner unworthy of this destination i. Notwithstanding all his cautions. Mr. Reid was unable to- tolly to conceal his attention to her. These at- trillions were I loticetl by her near relations; and the conse- quence was, t! int the respondent quitted Mr. Iteid's house, and engaged herst If as servant in the family of Mr. M'Knight, in the immediate neighbourhood. She remained there six months. During that time Mr. Iteid kept up his communication with Iter by many pi livate meetings, anil by letters. On leaving Mr, M'Knight** h- mse, the respondent went to her father's house, itirl remained it months : during the whole of this period the pal ties had fre pent meetings. They also secretly carried on a written corre ijlOiidenee, but he was still unable to come to a determination to enter into a public marriage. He represent- ed to her that i ertain circumstances rendered this inconvenient: she resolved th trefore to engage herself as a servant in Edin- burgh. and sh > obtained a situation with Mrs. Watson, in Hope Street, Edinburgh. It is to be observed, that Mr. Jtcid's estate of Uatho. bank is at the distance of between six and seven mil' IS from Edinburgh. When the I rriod approached at which the respondent was to remove to Ed I. burgh, the appellant expressed great anxiety to secure the res| ( indent to himself by mutual written declarations ' of marriage. In one of his letters he furnished her with a Copy of the declara'aon. which he entreated her to write. The pra ties afterwards met, and exchanged mutual declara- tion- of marr. tgp holograph, that is, in their own hand writing, respectively That which the appellant delivered to the re. spovf'ent is ' bus expressed :—" I hereby engage to be a true, a Oilhftil, a kind, and an affectionate husband to you, on con - dition you are ' lie same to ine ; and I further engage to shew this to : io pus ' n. and to nvik. : t known to nobody whatever. * vi TL> out your consent Signed. Gror. on REID."— A hoi, graph writing to the sain effect was given to the appellant by th-> n cpondeti'. When tl document now quoted was delivered to'the re-,' ondent, there - as no date annexed to it. The re- sjK'ndeot says she desired Mr. Reid to date it, but he said it wtis unnecessary, and that she might date it herself, which vias immediately done. Mr. Reid insisting they were married j i- vsiitis, requested that the marriage should be consummated; : i, d accordingly it is alleged that he had, on the 4th November, conjugal intercourse with the respondent in a new house upon Iris properly, which had not then been inhabited, although it ' Iras pirtly furnished. The respondent, at Martinmas filth November) '. 803, en- tered into the service of Mrs, Watson where she remained for one year and a half ; during all that time, Mr. Reid shewed the utmost attention to her, calling every week he was in town, and writing to her often two or three times in the course of as many days. The respondent, on Whitsunday 1810, ( as the same reasons were stated by the appellant to exist for secresy) went into the service of Mr. Carfrae, in Y- ik Place, Edinburgh. Mr. Carfrae's family removed to Queensferry, a watering place, wine miles from Hatha bank; and Air. Reid came repeatedly to Qneensrerry, for the purpose of seeing the respondent, and they generally wrote to each other once a week. The respon- dent remained in this situation nine months; she left Mr. Carfrae's on account of the death of her father. While w ith her mother with whom she remained till Whitsunday ( 15th May) 1811, the parties saw each other daily. On leaving tier moth - rVhoi^ e. the respondent went to the service of Mrs. Kerr, of Wooilburn. near Dalkeith, where she remained six tnenths. De'ee ibis period also the parties met several times, and the; cairied on a correspondence by letters as belore. The respondent, at Martinmas ( 11th November) 1811, went into the service, of Mrs. Corigalton, in Castle Street, Edinburgh, with whom she t niimd for two years. Mr. Ileid came to the house frequently, and they saw each other almost every week, At bis ritqtiest, she eit. orcd at Martinmas 1813, in'n the service of the family of Rnbyj- t Gillies, Esq Advocate, Edin- burgh, where she at present is. The same intercourse, how- ever. continued, after the respondeut entered into the service of Mr. Gillies. The multitude of private meetings between the parties ( it may well be supposed) did not pass without those endearments vhrcb were sanctioned by their solemn engagements, and they • occasionally pushed whole nights together. The appellant frequently found his way, at late hours, to the apartments in which the respondent slept, and at times they met in woods in the country. Al length the respondent was led to urge that an end should be put to the mystery under which the parties bad acted. Several unsatisfactory meetings took place, at which he still wished to delay a public avowal of marriage; the conscience was, that a declaration of marriage was raised in the Coiisiuoria! Court, Edinburgh. Against this action two defences were stated: — Ist, that tltere is no proof of a consensus de pretsenti in matrimonium, and that tlie correspondence and mutual declarations amount only to a mere promise of marriage dejuturo ; antl 2dly. it was asserted, that although a promise of . narriage had no doubt been made, yet that this is insufficient, as it was said that there Was no pioofof copula or concubitui between the par- ties. The respondent produced all Mr. Reid's letters that had been preserved by her, amounting in number to about two AundrciJ. Two witnesses were examined, and thereupon this interlo- cutor, or sentence, was unanimously pronounced by the Com- missaries:—*• The Commissaries find the facts, See. proved relevant to infer a marriage betwixt the pursuer and defender, ind/ ind them husband and wife." A llill of Advocation ( a sort of appeal) was hereupon pro- rented hv Mr. R. to the Court of Session ; and it was at length brought tu a hearing before the Court, of the Second Division, the whole five Inner- hou'e Judges being present. Four stated, that the case was attended with no sort of difficulty ; that wore argument might be made, whether the expressions amount in strictness to a consent de prtesenli, or only to a pro- mise of marriage ; and that if the question rested there, it might, perhaps be proper to allow farther discussion; but that this was unnecessary, because, from the evidence, it was impossible to doubt the fact, that matrimonial inter- course had occurred between the parties; and, therefore, there was here proof of marriage, constituted by a promise of marriage, copula subseijuente. One Judge on this occa- sion stated, that he was not convinced concerning the exist- ence of matrimonial intercourse; but the matter being again brought before the Court ( on petition) the 9th of September following, when the cause came to be advised, the Judge, w ho had formerly dissented from the opinion of his brethren, now stated, that his own opinion was altered, and that his I. ordship now entirely concurred with the rest of the Court; and on the 50th of November 1819, the Court of Session unanimously confirmed the interlocutor of the Commissary Court, and pronounced the judgment, which was the subject of the present appeal On the part of Air. Reid, it was contended before the House of I. ords, as it had been in the Courts below, that neither par- ty considered the documents exchanged between them as ex- prcssiveof anything morethan a promise or intention to marry ; and though Mr. lleid admitted that at some of his priva. e meetings with the respondent he had taken sotne slight free- doms with her ; yet he positively denied that he ever had any • enjoyment of her person. tablished itself in tiiq town of FiglierttS in the bight of the 24- th ; there were scarcely any inhabitants remaining iu the town or the adjacent villages.

A flag of truce was sent to the Governor, who gave them to understand from the top of a bastion, that he had no answer to the proposal. The garrison, which assembled on the ramparts, sang revolutionary songs, and made the air resounded with repeated cries of" Long live the Consti- tution." Great quantities of provisions for the armv arc sent from this town Port Vendres, in order to proceed by sea to Kosas. liv this means tho expense of carriage is inconsiderable compared with that of its conveyance bv land. They have given here hitherto, for a cart with four horses, 40 francs a day, with rations for the men and horses. The 19th regiment of the line, which formed part of the division of Donnadieu, is expected in this town the beginning of next month. This division which is in Cerdagna, will march forwards as this regiment arrives. A great quantity of clothing has been sent during the two last days to the three Spanish battalions in camp at St. Esteva. One of them, that commanded bv Mosen Anton, departed vesterdav for Catalonia. The Constitutional troops arc constantly in the neigh- bourhood of St. Laurent tie Cerda, where we . have but one battalion of the 18th Regiment of the Line. NEWS FROM SPAIN AND THE FRONTIERS. LLIVIA, April 25.— On the 24th, before day, a de made an incorrect report. It is known that the Duke d'Angouleme positively declined the co- operation of the Portuguese General, because France was not at war with Portugal. An Aidc- de- Camp of the Count of Amarante having arrived at Burgos to make propositions to the Duke dc Reggio, ( lie Marshal refused to listen to him, and even to see him, for the reason assigned by the Duke d'Angouleme. Truly we cannot carry our good faith further. But should the Count of Amarante now join the Spanish Royalists, we have nb right to prevent him ; and should General Rego, who pursues the Count, present himself before our soldiers in the cnemv's ranks, most certainly he will be driven back. But all this does not involve us with Portugal, any more than we tire involved with England because Sir Robert Wil- son is going to fight in the armies of the Spanish Cortes, and perhaps may be killed by a French ball. Extract of a private letter.—" We have just learned that the Portuguese General Rego has entered the Spa- nish territory at the head of 12,000 men, and is now be- tween Ciudad Rodrigo and Salamanca." MADRID, April 21.— Every one has departed, oris readv to go. The French, on their arrival, will find no one at all conspicuous, of whatever class, rank, or opi- nion, he may be ; a circumstance characteristic in itself, As titer? r. re five Austrian subjects among them, M. de Lippa, the Austrian Consul required that the}' should be excepted from this measure, and given up to him, otherwise he would leave Jassv. But the Prince declared, that he could make no change in the orders of the Porte, and that it was indifferent to hiiu whether the agent remained at Jassv or went away. In fact, all these prisoners have been taken from Jassy, fastened two together iu the Turkish fashion, to be tried. GREECE. We have seen a gentleman who has served with dis- tinction in Greece. Ilis account of tin" Greeks are verv j favourable. The progress thev have made during this struggle is, he savs, quite surprising ; and he considers their prospects to be most favourable. The foreigners have been of great assistance, in giving thein the confi- dence to fight regularly, in which thev were necessarily deficient; and a comparatively small number of foreigners from the north would soon put an end to the Turkish sway in Europe. The achievements of the Germans in this warfare have been truly surprising, and making every i allowance for the contemptible character of a Turkish j army, reflect the highest honour on that people, who, i take them all in all are still what Horace Walpole de- scribed them to be, the least corrupted of the nations of j Europe. In the engagement which took place in Feb. j 1822, at the landing at Navarino, General Normann, j with 52 Germans and one Englishman ( John Bone or i Boone), who bore the brunt, and 100 Greeks under j Anagnosti, kept their ground for half an hour against the leader o! wtiotr. n rcprpsjftto. i as ;. ciur » dresscvi'irS military cap and sash,) will appear extraordinary when it IS stated, that the outrages luive been committed, in populous place, and within a mile anon, half of tire bar- racks, from whence a party of the military repaired seeing the fire,' but too lute to aiford assistance, or to secure any of the incendiaries. 1 wo other houses, one near Watcrgrnss- hill, were attacked the same night ; a voting man lost his life at the latter through fright. At Fidane, a farm house he- longing to Mr. tlouiaii Haines, containing twelve sheep, were burnt to ashes. Some of the incendiaries were apprehended. Several other outrages have taken place, which \ v. have neither time or patience to enumerate. / In the county of Kerry, some houses have beOn burnt, particularly one near Dingie, on Thursday last; tlie in- habitants escaped with difficulty. For the first time, savs the Traiee paper, in the memory of man, two highway robberies have been committed near that town. Mr. Eager, of Clohers, was robbed of L. 2S, and a Mr. Overard, an Englishman; of L. 33. The first robbery took place about three miles from the town. The other occurred near Liatowel. 5000 Turks, with the loss of only one man, Reiehardt, an Austrian. In the well known engagement of Peta, and which will form no obstacle to any form of Govern- near Arta, 81 Germans and GO Cepltalonians stood for taehment of about four hundred men of the garrison of j the French ment under their influence. In evtrv village the Constitutionalists, and even per- sons of an opposite opinion, retreat on the approach of When Count Abisbal think.* proper to retire, he will two and a half hours against 8000 Turks, and only re- treated when their ammunition was exhausted. On this occasion, Normann and 15 others were all that surviv- ed. it. The Turks experienced the enormous loss of nearly 500 killed. The quantity of hard fighting there has take with him about 20,000 M According to some, been, may be judged of from the circumstance that, of Puvcerda marched from above Bt- lver towards Montacla, to make a reconnoissanee.

It is supposed that they have provisions for three or four months, and, as it appears, that they are not in want of other means of defence, as the fortifications are in good condition and well surmount- ed with artillery, the resistance in case of a siege, in form, will be obstinate; antl those, who, like ourselves have property within the place are prepared for its total ruin.

FIFTH BULLETIN OF THE SPANISH ARMY. ITead- quarters, Vtttoria, April 50. General Count Molitor, at the head of the whole of the second corps, entered Saragossa on the '.' 6th April. The evening before the Magistrates of that city had gone to meet him as far as Mallen, and on their request a bat- talion of the advanced guard, commanded bv Colonel Bellanger, was sent forward. The most perfect order reigned in the midst of the numerous population , whose lively enthusiasm required rather to be clucked than ex- cited. In the midst of this general joy, and with bril- liant pomp, the entrance of the French into the capital of Arragon took place. There were found in the castle of Saragossa 48 can- non, a great quantity of projectiles, and other muni- tions of war. The revolutionists, in retiring, had only time to destroy the powder. More than 8,000 Arrago nesein arms will already have been joined to the second corps. Ballasteros retires precipitately on Valencia, ordering along with him the whole of his detachments. The blockade of Meqi. 1 nenza has been raised in consequence of the movements of the 2d corps, combined with that of the Marshal Duke de Cornegliano, who, after having taken possession of Rosas, has formed the blockade of Figueras, occupied the city, and is going to pursue his operations in Catalonia The important citadel of Jaca was placed in the power of his Catholic Majesty on the 24th inst. by the regiment which was destined to form it3 garrison, and which took possession of the place with cries of' Live our beloved King I'—' Live Ferdinand VII.!'—' Live religion !"

Valencia and Valladolid have I drawing- room, which we understand has been put off, just been evacuated by the corps of General Morillo : it is not known whither he directs his retreat, which ap- pears to have been made in consequence of superior orders, and to form apart of the plan of the campaign, which is known to nobody, but which it is easy to divine. We have no news from St. Sebastian or Pampeluna. A Council of Defence composed of eight individuals, well qualified and worthy of confidence, has been form- ed to assist the Governor of the last- named place. Several persons belonging to the French army, who were wounded in the affair at Logrono, are arrived at Tolosa; all unite in doing justice to the valour of our militia, and to the bravery with which they fought on that day. The Army of the Faith makes less progress in recruit- ing than had been supposed. Not a single Constitu tional soldier has hitherto quitted his rank to join it; some militia are therefore about to be raised to augment the troops of the Royalist Chiefs. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRANKFORT, April 22.— A general opinion prevails here among the bankers and speculators in Foreign Se- curities, that the war in Spain will be short, and they build their speculations on this foundation. We hear that wagers have been laid that peace will be concluded in three months. It is generally believed, that for some time hence, the Exchange and prices of Funds at Paris and Vienna will continue to improve. What a remote futurity may bring, the speculators in foreign paper do not inquire, as they calculate on short periods only, iu which they think themselves sure of success. It is owing to this belief that the Spanish Bonds of the Loan nego- tiated by Hope, in Holland, have recovered their credit. It might otherwise have appeared strange, that just at this moment the Spanish Funds should have risen at the Same time as the French. FRANKFORT ON THE " ODER, April 25 It is quite true that Russia is assembling an Army of Obser- vation 011 the frontiers of the kingdom of Poland; a- armv, it is said of nearly 120,000 men : but it is. be- l. eve-. l that it '". . « for its only < :> jeet the offering an im - posing g" irantee for the maintt nance of public tranquilli- ty ii: Germ . *. y and even in France, and that it will of course be dis . jed as the progress of the French arms shall have restored order and peace in Spain." VIENNA, April 22.— The Austrian Observer has intelligence from Corfu of the 13th of March. The following is an extract :— " Sir Thomas Maitland, who sailed from Corfu on the 7th of March on board the Cambrian, has left the Ionian Islands in a state of tranquillity antl increasing prosperity, which was hardly to be exacted after the violent fermentation of the last few years, and is the best eulogium on the wisdom and firmness of his Go- vernment. We have since learnt, that the Governor remained several days in the island of Zante, where he gave a long audience to a deputy from the Insurgents, who brought proposals to hifu for a final reconciliation with the Poite." The Piedmontese Gazette mentions the arrival of Sir Thomas Maitland at Turin, on the 24th of April. FROM THE BUCKOWINA, Apiil8.— News has just been received from Jassy, that the Hospodar of Moldavia has been ordered by the Porte to arrest, and send be- yond the Danube, 40 or 50 Boyars, as well as the Metropolitan, to be tried for their conduct during the last two vears. from political as well as personal causes, the promise incidentally given some time back to the proprietors of our national establishments, will be kept, and that the people may be indulged with at least an annual sight of their Monarch, and have their taste gratified at the same time. Should the King carry into effect his projected ma- rine excursions, when Parliament shall adjourn, which, before the introduction of the Irish examinations, was calculated to te. ke place bv the middle of June, neither Windsor Castle nor the Cottage in the Great Park will be visited so frequently as was originally intended.

DOVER, May 7— Two messengers, a French and a Russian, landed to- dav from Calais ; the former, in answer to the question if there was any news, answered " nothing good." STATE OF IRELAND. ( From the Dublin. Evening Post, April 29.) The horrors of the south are thickening to an extent almost inconceivable. Perhaps there were never in the history of Ire- land any scenes comparable to those which have been enacted, for the last three or four months, in Cork and Limerick. Even in the rebellion of mx, there were not, we are almost con- vinced, during its entire continuance, so many '. otises burnt; and, though more property must havebeen destroyed throughout the whole kingdom, yet certainly no two counties have suffer- ed as severely as Cork and Limerick are doing at this moment. We have not room 10 specify the particulars which have reached us since our last, but the following is an abstract of about four or five days proceedings : — In Cork— 1' wo houses and two mills, and a stable. five out- oflices, burnt; and twelve pounds extorted, for the purpose as Captain Rock declares, of purchasing ammunition. In Limerick four louses and two oifii s burnt; the ears and tails of a number of cows cut off; trees cut down and lields turned up. The notices issued hv the incendiaries are innumerable, j There have been some prisoners taken. In Cork twelve, ' and in Limerick two. persons accused of the murder of Major i Hare. One of these. Patrick Mtnn tine, is described as " r. tlier i a well- spoken fellow ;" and it is added, that 00 his way to | Rithkeale, and " in the streets of the town, he harangued the ! mob. desired them never to despair, that be was true, and J would be true to the last." The insurrection is spreading along the banks of the Suir, in the counties of Waterford and Tipperarv. If this horrible and appalling system continues for anv length of time, it will be impossible to remain in the south of Ireland. Indeed, we have learned from a gentleman, very conversant in the condition of the south of Ireland, that emigration, which was principally confined to the north, has begun with great activity in Munster. From the neighbourhood of one town, Borrosakane, 30 Roman Catholic families have recently emi grated to America. Maryland, which is iu sotne respects aj Catholic State, atid Philadelphia, is the destination, we believe, j of these and other families, ( From the Dublin Evening Post, Mai/ C.) The accounts from Limerick, since Saturday, do not differ materially from those already before the public. About ten houses have been burnt during the three or four last days, several cows houghed, and some fields turned up. In Tipperarv, four farm houses have been burnt, and a field turned up. In the Queen's county, a nefarious outrage, 011 the person of a man and his soil, had t jken place ; the offenders, however, are arrested. The barony ol'Clwnlisk is stated to be very much distur- bed. Threatening notices, as usual, have been dis- tributed in great abundance. At Riverston, in the County of Cork, the premises of Messrs. Graham and Brown were robbed of arms, but 110 violence was committed 0: 1 the inmates. At Glantnire, about three miles from Cork, the house ofaMr. Landers was completely demolished, bv thirty or forty Whitebovs, his oats and barley consumed, three horses and two cows mutilated. Landers is under a rent to Lord Listowell. His cijme was taking the farm three years before. Two other houses shared the same fate EniMBUKOn CATTI.

EDINBURGH, May 13. The Whitsunday term in the Court of Exchequer commenced on Monday. . This day the Court of Session met for tlic dispatch of bitfiness for the suuiiiicr Session. On Wednesday, the Rev. David Tliohi was ordained by tint Presbytery of Glasgow, as Minister of the New j Scottish Congregation in Liverpool. At the same time ; a petition was presented by the Congregation, to be. 3 taken into a?" strict a connection as possible with the j Church of Scotland, winch the Presbytery, afer dis- cussion,- agreed to refer to the serious consideration of the ensuing General Assembly. The Presbytery then proceeded to take into their consideration the important dispute between the Minister and Kirk Session of the Gorb ils, with the Heritors of that village. After a long • disfussipn, the Rev.

The Trinidad Gazette of the- 1.9th contains the following article : — " by the arrival of the schooner Sector, in six days from the nlx, ve Iskmd, on Tuesday last, we learn, that on the 4th instant, ten ships of war and live transports arrived at San Juan, the . capital, dircct from fingland, with the necessary credentialsfrom - theSpariish Govcriuflenlfor the delivery of that important colony o'ir uii Britain, which was accordingly done, anil the British flag substituted for that of the Spanish.

This squadron, no « ' oubt, must have been the same as was reported to have pass- ed Antigua some time sincj? ; but so secret hiis the affair been conducted on th. e part of our Government at home, that' not * ven a bint or suggestion has transpired of any such measure being in contemplation, as that of sending out a force in addi- tion to the One under Commodore Owen, which it was generally supposed was intended for this service." , NOTICE. .1/ 7?. nnOlVN. hie of the Circus, Aberdeen, ITNDERSLANDING that there are several small ) EQUK3TRIAN COMPANIES travelling in the North, begs leave lo inform the pulJlif,' HiSt they are in no way connected with any part of . his Establishment.

Union Street, Mav 16, 1823. THE CHRONICLE. ABERDEEN: SATURDAY, MAY 17, 1823. Foreign AfF. ilis till the 2Lh of April, nearly three weeks after the French had entered the Spanish territory. It states, that as the French have invaded the Spanish ter- ritory without a declaration of war, and without any of the us tin! formalities, which must be considered as a violation of the law of nations, his Most Faithful Ma- jesty, conformably to his dutv of repelling force by force, of maintaining the integrity of the Monarchy, and pu- nishtng'the audacity of those who have invaded it, has re- solved by the advice of the Council of State, and con- formably to the £ S5th article of the constitution, to de- clare war affainst France. That the Ministers of Louis 15 , will attribute this declaration of R EHDL TF AND to com- pulsion - cannot be doubted— and few will believe that he really entertains the sentiments expressed— but the Patriots are in the right to avail themselves of his name while they keep his person in safe custody. In every respect, the steadiness and determination of the Spanish character . has been conspicuous during their revolution, and will, we trust, remain so to. the termination of the • contest.. The reports circulated in France, that the invaders [; avC attempted to negociate with the constitu- tional government, are without foundation—, fabrications i live 11 ted to account for the slow progress of the invading army., which is er. fsilv to be accounted for, from the cir- cumstances already mentioned. Letters from Paps stale,. that immediately upon the receipt of dispatches, from the army, a council is summoned, and sucha selection of in- telligence is m. ide, as it is thought proper to submit to public inspection. The people of France, however, canuot be long deceived— facts must come out in time, and Lowis mav vet learn, that it would have been the best policy to ileal candidly with his subjects. In the i mean time all is tranquil in France— we hear of no in- surrections— nor have Ministers time at present to fa- bricate plots ; but public opinion is strongly against the Spanish war, and the'Government is by no means po- pular. IVhcn afitithir Revolution is to take place in that coutitry is, not exactly known— but that the seeds of stleh ; t revolution afc sown, and at no very distant period to come to maturity,. admits of no doubt whatever. Ac- cording to CHATEAUBRIAND, itis necessary to havea French army trained to habits of obedience and fidelity, bv active service under a Bourbon Prince ; but as French soldiers reason, the experiment now tried may prove Somewhat dangerous to legitimate authority. The con- duet of the Serjennt. of the National Guard, MF, HC! Eit, is openly approved. by the soldiers composing the garrison - of Paris, and it isnot believed- that the constituted au- thorities will again yenture to try, whether the national guard wjl|. obex illegal ordeis, But itis stated, that the French Government confidently expect the . co- opera.- tSonofits allies in the war it has undertaken against all Chat is liberal ill political institutions ; and Mr. CAM- Kind admits, that a Russian armv is assembled in Po- land, but what its'strcngth or its object may be he does not knew. One fact, however, is known, viz. that last year the Russian finances were in that state, that the Emperor could not withdraw his army from the Turkish frontiers, till he obtained a loan, which was partly raised in- London ; a pretty strong guarantee that he must keep - the peace towards Spain, if subsidies cannot be found to enable him to interfere. With regard to Britain, the question is still agitated, whether, while Ministers openly declare that they will take no part iu the hostile proceedings against Spain, they have not in in a covert manner encouraged the crusade. In the House of Commons, Mr. BROUGHAM'S motion and argument on this subject was not answer d, but put down by . the votes of the trained bands ; the subject has again been brought forward in the House of Peers by Earl GliKY, whose speech on the occasion does his Lordship . much- honour, whether we consider the hon- ourable principles he maintains, or the great ability he displays in enforcing his arguments. His Lordship's superior talents have, always been acknowledged— and with the exemption of one period of his life, when, he ap- peared disposed to sacrifice too much to an intended coa- lition with the Grenville party, his conduct in public life has been manly and . consistent. Oil the present subject, he expresses himself strongly, as convinced that the interests and character of the country have been com- promised by the conduct of Ministers. " As for me, ( says he) I have no hesitation in saying, that the very defence which had been set up for his Majesty's Minis- ters had convinced him, that in no instance, upon the records of diplomacy, had the people of the country been so betrayed, its honour so degraded, or its interests so neglected, as in the conferences at Verona." Ilis Lord- ship is fully convinced, that a determined remonstrance on the part of Britain would have prevented France from proceeding in a hostile manner against Spain ; but he evidently suspects, that the spirit of the Pitt policy is still in vigour, and that the British Government is. not vet cordially deposed to countenance and befriend free constitutions. In the course of his Lordship's very able Speech, he vindicates his consistency, in having main- tained that, in - 1809- 10, there were no good grounds to induce Britain to engage in the- Spanish cause— because tile Spaniards then did'not appear determined to defend their own cause— and because lie ( Lord ( j HEY) had- no. idea that NAPOLEON would, in opposi- tion to his former practice, begin one thing before ) ie - had finished another— meaning, as we suppose, that NAPOLEON ought to. have finished his work in Spain, before he attempted the conquest of. Russia. On this subject, we have always believed that, upon the calcu- lation, of human probabilities, the views and plans of . NAPOLEON were perfectly just. He always looked upon the war in the Peninsula as a live game, as some- thing that must exhaust the resources of Britain; and his expedition against Russia must have proved com- pletely successful,, but for , an accidental inclemency of season, that destroyed the finest armv of modern times in October and November, although for years past there has been no severity of cold in that country that could injure the health of anv, unless invalids. The discomfitures of France are not to be attributed to anv want of foresight in NAPOLEON, or superiority in the adversaries with whom he had to contend, but to un- expected events, which, if. foretold, tiie vaticination would not have' Ireen believed. France is not perma- nently degraded— she mttet-' Soon resume her proper place among the nations of Europe— and whenever that takes place, Frenchmen and Spaniards, we have no doubt, will be cordial friends.

Summary of i3olt! tc$ » THE extraordinary campaign in Spain has so com- pletely engrossed the public attention, that for the time it appears impossible to divert it to any other object, al- though many passing events are really of great import- ance, and under any other circumstances would be deeiii-' ed highly interesting. It is no longer doubtful, that the French armv know they have nothing to expect from the friendly disposition of the Spanish people. That in some parts of tile country the peasantry, who profit by the presence of the invaders, may receive thtm w ith rimu, is very natural— there may be Priests and Nobles who really wish them success— but that the great body of the people are hostile admits of no doubt, and 110 symptoms of unsteadiness have appeared in the patriotic army. ' I he plan of defence adopted by the Spaniards appears to have been very judicious, for although the French army- l\ as met with very little resistance in its progress, and the ; way to Madrid is left perfectly open, the difficulties ; which the invaders have to encounter have appeared so ; formidable, that it has been found necessary to halt for ! reinforcements and supplies. In the mean time, the 1 Cortes are coolly proceeding in the public business at [ Seville, organizing guerillas, and taking the necessary i measures for cutting off the enemy's supplies. The j declaration of war was not teed by the Minister for CASH PAYMENTS.— Some of our. cotemporaries are very severe upon COBBETT, for having pledged himself that Cash Payments could not be possibly made, unless the interest of the national debt were first reduced, and even offering himself to suiter martyrdom upon a gridiron, if such an event should really take place. The fact appears to be, that there has been no demand upon the Bank of England or Country Banks, for Cash in place of their Notes- r-^ so that Mr. PEEL'S Bill remains iu the mean time a dead letter, now that it has passed into a law in force.. That the Bank of England and Country Banks could not pay their notes in specie, if the demand were made, we believe ; but if no demand be made, we do not see that Mr. COBBETT'S predic- tion is falsified, because it was evidently made upon the presumption, that Gold would be preferred to Paper as soon as it could be had, according to the provisions of law.

We understand that a contract lias been entered into, . for facing with granite and finishing the front of the Old Jail— the work to be completed before the end of August next. It is to be executed in the Gothic style, to correspond u'ith the base- ment storey ; and will be a great improvement in the appear- ance of that venerable structure.

A deputation from the Aberdeen Seaman's Friend Society has just returned from Edinburgh, where, after having atten- ded the Annual Meeting of a similar Institution at Lcilb, they, availing themselves of an invitation to that effect, waited upon many of the benevolent patronizers of such undertakings; and were ill every instance received with an interesting and cordial welcome. Ill addition to very liberal pecuniary contributions, to a handsome amount, the most affectionate solicitude for the accomplishment of their object was manifested, in a manner highly gratifying to the applicants, and encouraging to the came. , It. must be highly gratifying to the Patrons of such Institutions to learn, that ot a Public Meeting at Glasgow, a few days ago, it was determined to erect at the Broomiclaw, a Chapel for the exclusive accommodation of Seamen. Between four and five o'clock in the afternoon of Friday se'ennight, a room in the Upperkirkgate, occupied by a young man, was, in his absence entered, his diawers opened, and upwards of £ i in notei and cash abstracted. The thieves appeared to have first got access to the kitchen adjoining, whence they took a few shillings, iu silver, and some silver spoons ; and having there found the key of tiie room, bad proceeded to ac- complish their farther nefarious purpose, leaving all locked as before, so that the loss of the property alone led to the disco- very of the robbery.

THE KING.— We have great pleasure in stating that hit Majesty's health is so'much improved, as to afford a hope that a Drawing- Room will shortly be held at . one of the Il- ynl Palaces. We would again press the propriety and even policy of a Royal visit to each of the Theatres, after or before the Drawing room. We have cause to believe that our former suggestion on this subject has been favourably appreciated in the right quarter. We were glad to witness the King's health and strength sufficiently restored to enable him to enjoy the air and a little wholesome exeriise in his own domain, in his low and, comlWtuble open carriage. Carlton Palace Gardens are very extensive, and the gravel walks, wide enough to accom- modate a carriage, are of much greater eiteut than person", not acquainted with their devious windings and turnings, would imagine. Should his Majesty's health be quite restored, there are to be several grand parties at Carlton Palace during tha sitting of Parliament, or hefore the season terminates, in ad- dition to the Dralving- Room. These arrangements will, how- ever, depend upon circumstances ovtr which Majesty Itself can have 110 controul..— Morn. Chron. The Paris papers, which have been received tu the date o Friday last, put an end to all the various ruiimurslatelycirtu* lated of negotiations between France and Spain. By accounts from Seville to the 25th ult. it apnears that the Cortes, » > far from thinking of negotiating had is.-, ued a declaration of war against France. The Moniteur contains a long account of the military ope- rations of the 4th corps in Caulonia. The I- Vench troops have occupied Gercna. and according to their own account, have Jbeeu every where joyfully received by the inhabitants. Then, are no farther aefcouuts from the head- quarters of the French army. In an article dated Madrid, it is mentioned that a report had, been received from General Ballasteros, dated Tarracona, ( not Tarragona), his head- quarters, in which he gives an ac-, count of the Encounter ihat bud taken place on the lfith at; Logrono, between his troops and ihe French. He commend* their valour, stating that the combat'was obstinate, and that the, French sustained considerable loss. Sir Thomas Maitland, Governor of the Ionian Islands, is arrived in Paris. Sunday morning Mr. Latchlord, the King's Messenger,, arrived in Downing- street, with dispatches from the Spanish Government. No event since the commencement of the war between. France and Spain has created a stronger sensation than the in- formation received at Lloyd's yesterday, of the detention of thei English brig Thais, boundfrihn Charente for London, with a cargo of brandy, and carried ii. to llilboa, by a privateer, but whether a French or Spanish vessel is kept doubtful, but th « general feeling is, that the privateer was a French letter ujt' marque. " NORTH- WEST PASSAGE EXPKDfTIQJSC HAMBURGH, April 9,— We hasten ta publish the fol- lowing declaration : — " Iu English and French Journals, which have been copied by the German, among others by the Hamburgh Papers, it; has been stated, that I had sent word botli to Paris and Lon- don of the arrival of Captuin Parry 011 the coast of KamU ™ cliatka ; 1 therefore con- ider it to be my duty to declare, that 1 have never written a line 011 the supposed arrival of Captain Parry to any person whatsoever. - K R USENS- TE UN, •• Captain, Commodoie in the Imperial Navy.
