Yet the pride of the Ottomans does not allow them to doubt for a moment of victory. • The operations of General Paskewitsch against the province of Eizeroum disturb the Porte more than those of the army on the Danube, because it is known that the Zi.dersant Janissaries, most of whom have been banished to that province, have organized a revolt there. A fir man has been read in the mosques, calling the people to arms in defence of the country, of which the follow ing is the substance: "The OttOman people still remember how much the Greek insurrection has attracted the attention of the Go.

The most difficult works to make a dam in the middle of the stream were executed in a few days, to the extent of four wersts. We soon reached the bank where the bridges were to be thrown over. The enemy had, however, taken ad vantage of this delay, and thrown up redoubts on the bank of the Danube in his possession, as far as the gates of Izaksza, and provided them with artillery, showing his intention to dispute the passage. His position was very favourable, because the Turkish bank of the Da nube forms a chain of eminences wilich command the opposite, or Russian bank. " Three Turkish batteries cannonaded us. The right wing of the enemy was covered by an inaccessible mo rass, and the left by the batteries of the fortress of Izaksza. " It was necessary to make ourselves masters of this position in order to effect the passage. A brigade of chaueurs, en foot, was accordingly assembled near Ismael, in boats belonging to merchants,.-which were employed in this important service. It sailed noder, convoy of pan of our flotilla. On the other hand, two corps, under the command of General Kudaewicz, were assembled at the point where it was intended to pass.

In attempting to reach the Turkish camp, our troops were exposed to the Turkish fire, and hid also to pass deep morasses. All these obstacles were, however, overcome. Captain Panajotti k the Com mander of the flotilla, though wounded at The begin ning, did not leave his post. About 11 o'clock we had taken possession of the Turkish batteries, one of them having been blown up, and thin ty men killed or wounded by the explosion. Eight battalions and some pieces of cannon were landed, and the enemy fled to the fortress of lzaksza, after setting fire to one of the suburbs. The Turks have lost twelve cannon, two mortars, and one howitzer. Our whole loss amounts to fifty men at the most—that of the enemy is not known. " During this glnricus action the Danube was passed amidst the Turkish fire. The obstacles that had hindered the bridge from being made are now overcome; and it will.be finished in two or three days. The Emperor has given to the Heiman of the Zaporogian Cossacks the rank of Colonel, and the Officers cross of the Order of St. George, together with ten soldiers crosses for his troops. " On the 7th four Cossacks of the Don passed the Danube in a boat to look out for a convenient place for landing, and remained for the night on the 'Turkish side. His Majesty has given them the soldiers' cross of St. George, and promoted them to the Guards. " At this moment we are taking the position aban doned by the enemy, and our troops are employed on the works necessary for the protection of the bridge." IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

'MCCRAW' OW OPORTO. The Earl of DARNLEY begged to put a question to the Noble Earl, as to the state of affairs at Oporto. It appeared that the Prince Regent of Portugal had declared that post in a state of effective blockade, and that this blockade had been recognised by the British Government. He was utterly at a loss to know, after Ithe conduct which D3ll Miguel had pursued—conduct which stamped him with the character of a rebel ant an usurper—conduct 'which had reduced the Britiih Government to the necessity of withdrawing its Am-. bastador from his Court, or at liast of suspending his functions ; he was at a loss, he said, after this conduct, to know what right Don Miguel had to blockade a port in the dominions of his Brother and his Sovereign —or what justification could be offered, by the British Governmen►, for recognizing and abetting the proceed ings of a P. ince with whoin we had thought ii necessary to suspend all intercourse. He trusted the Noble L .rd would be enabled to give a satisfactory explanation of the conduct pursued by the British Government upon this occasion. The Earl of ABERDEEN was not able to give such explanations of the state of aff.sirs in Portugal, as could be given by him or listened to by the House with satis faction. He had no hesitation in stating that the British Government disapproved of much of the condo& of the Prince Regent of Portugal. The Noble' Lord seemed to suppose that the British Ambassador at the Court of Portugal had been withdrawn. This was not so. His functions were suspended. But he was still the resident on behalf of his Britannic Majesty at the Court of the Prince Regent of Portugal, and that Prince, whatever might have been his conduct, and nobody was , more sensible than himself how much there was in his con duct to be lamented, he was still the governing autho rity in that country, and the British Ambassador was still resident at his Court. In these circumstances it was that the blockade of Oporto was declared. Of this our Ambassador, from the peculiar situation in which he stood, received no direct and f wmal communication. But the fact had come to his (the Earl of Aberdeen's) knowledge, and in justice to the commercial interests of this country be thought it his duty to promulgate it. He did so, not by publication in the Gazette, which would have been the regular mode s but by causing a letter to be sent to the Committee at Lloyd's. No thing had been said in that communication about re cognising the blockade. But the invariable principles which had governed the conduct of this country in si milar instances rendered that recognition unavoidable. The conduct we had pursued with respect to Chili, with respect to Brazil, with respect to Bahia, with respect to the blockade of Greek ports by the acting Govern ment of Greece, although the blockade in some of these cases was declared by persons not possessed of any recognised authority, precluded us from acting upon any different principle upon the present occasion.— In each of these instances we had recognized the block ade, and had refused all protection to our vessels if they should attempt to violate it. It was said that Don Mi- L guel was an usurper. Whatever might be his intentions, he was not at present an usurper. But supposing him to be the greatest usurper that ever lived, we should still be equally bound by. our uniform practice, and the laws of blockade foi which we had always strenuously. insisted, if we could mention any character for consis tency, and avoid the reproach of making our principles bend to our wishes. lithe British Government appeared by its decision upon the question to sanction the conduct of Don Miguel, nothing could be further from its in tention ; and nobody could regret more deeply than himself that its decision should be attended with this effect. But they felt it to be their duty not to swerve from the principles they had constantly upheld, how ever strong the temptation arising from temporary mo tives, feelings, or circumstances. (The Noble Earl dur ing his speech was repeatedly interrupted by cheers from all parts of the Hnuse). Tin Earl of DARNLEY did not regret having asked the ques tion, since he had been the means of eliciting an explanation so complete and satisfactesy from the Noble Ent MOMMIIt PROM TIM COMMONS. _ Lord &mom, Sir J. Gnaws's, and other Members, brought up the Manchester Polke Bill, and one priiate Bill. , DUTY ON COALS. The Marquis of DOW - 11 - 8 - 11i113 - peeaentedi a Petition from the Metchsnts, Traders, and 3lanufaeturerq of the City of Dublin, contplahig of the Duty on the Importation of Coals, and praying relief. The Duke of WELLINGTON should have been happy to have promised to relieve the subject from the burden of which the petitioners complained; but he did not think the burden was so heavy as it was represented. The whole receipt was only about 5,0001. and the tar, he believed, only about It, 7f J. per ton. The aboli tion of this tax would not produce any sensible effect, any more than the reduction of duties on coals in the port of London had produced to the inhabitants of this metropolis. There was a duty now of 7s. 61 upon the import of coal into the port of London ; so that by comparison at least the petitioners had not much reason to complain. The duty in England on coal carried. coastways was 4s. a chaidron. With respect to the in jury said to be inflicted upon the manufacturers of Ireland, he must remind the House that only certain descriptions of coal were employed in manufactures, and it did not appear that much of them were imported into Dublin. The Act of Uniop suds not •iolateol, in asmuch as this duty existed previous to the date of the Union. He wished further discussion to be postponed until next Session,. to afford opportunity for inquiry. After some converptien bets/meta the Marquis of DowNsulas, the Earl of DARNLEY, andLordFA RNHAM. • The Duke's( WILLINGTON B.ld that the Petition shouldbe referred to the Law Officers or the Crown. CLERGY OF CANADA.. ' The Earl of HA DDINGTON presented a Petition from the Piesbyteti ins of Canada, praying that a public provision might be made fbr the support and mutate. nauce of their Clergy ; and alleging that the Act of Parliament, which enacted generally that therershould be a provision for the Clergy of the Protestart religion in Canada, was intended to include them. 'this mea sure, the Noble Earl insisted, would t .nd to promote re ligious peace, content, and improvement in those pasts, and to confirm the loyalty of the Colonists. He believed that a very small proportion of the inhabitants Mere members of the Church of England ; and there co.dd not be a more mischievous policy than to m•ke an ex clusive provision for a Church which was that cf only a small minority (1 the inhabitants. He had the autho rity of Lord Grenville for saying, that this was not the intention of the• Legislature at the period of passing the Act. • The Earl of H ARRO I A'BY had repeatedly conversed with Lord Grenville upon the .subject. He, the author of the Stll,.bad in a manner outhouse(' him to say, that 'the provision wastiot intended exclusively for the tens of the Church of England. The Bishop of CHESTER could not but think it strange that this interpretation of the Bill was ntver given at the time it passed. He coy ted the words cf 'Mr. Pitt in support of his opinion, that the Established Church, only war intended. He must !unbar contend, that the legislative meaning of the words Ministers of the Protestant Religion, was Ministers of the Chinch of England. He was not about to argue the expediency of a provision for the Presbyterian Clergy, but !rte must contend, that if this provision was to be made irons the reserved Church Lands, it would be an act of spolia tion. He understood from the Venerable Bi-hop of the Canadas, that the Members of the Church of England in those provinces were more numerous titan those of any other single Protestant sect. The Marquis of LANSDOWN did nit think this a St opportunity fur the discussion of the whole of this question, more particularly as a Committee of the other House of Parliament was sitting up an the genetal sub ject of the state of the Canadas. -But nevertheless he could not be entirely silent when he heard it cont. tided, that of neceo.ity by the terms Protestant Clergy; the Clergy of the Church of England only caul) be meant. The Legislature was an united Legislature, compre hending the representation of the Church of England and of Presbyterians, and in providing for the mainte nance of religion in India, upon this very principle, Presbyterian Ministers, as well as those of the Church of England, had been provided for. - • Earl BATHURST agreed with the Noble Marquis that the subject was one which required mature deli beration. The subject was infinitely too impottant to be settled by Individual declarations, from boss ever high an authority they might proceed. He f:id not think that the term Protestant Clergy excluded the Clergy of the Church of Scotland ; but in his opinion it did exclude all who might claim to be clergymen without regular canonical ordination. Looking through. out all the clauses of the Act, the it tlation of the Le gislature seemed to be to provide a compensation in lieu of tithes, and if this were the meaning, it mist necessarily be confined to the Clergy of the Church of England, which was the Established Church in Canada. The Noble Earl argued at considerable length in favour of this construction of the Act. But as the allotment was one seventh, and a fair commutation of tithes would have required only an allotment of one tenth, it might be thought that it was intended to leave scope for Parliament, if at a future time it should think it expedient to make some provision for the Clet gy of the Church of Scotland. The b:•tter way of disposing of the Petition would be to refer it to the opinion of the Law Officers of the Crown. The Earl of H ADDINGTON replied. He thought the autho rity of Lord Grenville, as to the intention of the Act, infinitely better than an extract from a very imperfect account in the Par liamentary Reports of thirty years ago of a speech of Mr. Pitt. The Bishop of CHMIL and the Earl of 'Wm:own mutually explained. Lord CLIFDEN deprecated the folly of adding religious die. , puce. to the many subjects of difference which already agitated the Canada.. The Clergy of the Church of Engl7.nd hed no right ro a monopoly of provision. The Church of England ought to be satisfied with its rich temporalities in the United Kingdom. Lord GODERICH contended that the meaning of the Act was, Dot to confine the provision it made by the reservation of one seventh of the land to the maintenance of the Clergy of the Church of England exclusively, and quoted several passages of the Mr in • support of his opinion. The Petition was then read, and ordered to lie upon the table. The Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND presented a Petition from the Coroners of the county of Northumberland, praying for an increase to their fees. Earl GROSVENOR presented a Petition from certain inha- Wants of the county. of Warwick, against the extinction of Small Notes. CORN IMPORTATION BILL. The Duke of WELLINGTON moved that this Bill be now read a third time. The Marquis of LANSDOWN did not address their Lordships fir the purpose of opposing the motion. There was not, indeed, one of the i.laund, Ilona - which the Noble Duke had recontmendeu measure to the House in wh cli lie did not c rdiall c .t.cur, with a single exception, and that a as the st j nat. it that this would be a permanent and final bettlefl.C.lt of the question. In this view he could not concur. Th• •1i 4 ~+~ t.. !.' .a .. :A - ~~# • I, .1 r - 7 3 A
