The rates of insurance remain the seine, and it is inferred thmllistel apprehension is entertigaile of the Talks, and tfiai the campaign is considered at likely to be. short : many , transports, freighted by the Government for Sebastopol, appear to be designed for the conveyance of troops. Some persons affirm that an 'expedition to Asia Minor' is intenJed, which would be supported by General Pas. Itewitsch. and would produce a decisive effect. The army commanded by that General has been rewarded by pecuniary donationi, and numerous promotions, which increases the ardour of the army of the South, and its impatience for the commencement of hostilities. It is said bete that the Turks have formed a camp at Adrianople for the present, but that, according to their custom in preceding campa'gns, they will give battle at Humla. Count Paulin, our civil Governor, will set out in a .few days. Last week he inspected the magazines, and the ships, and appeared extremely satisfied with the good order which he found in every part.

C FROM THE MONTREAL GAZETTE, APRIL 2. An . Extr.ordinary Gazelle of the 25th cif March an ,nounees the prorogation of the Houses of L-giblature, on which occasion the Lieutenant-Governor deli vet e.l the follbaing SpeeCh : " Honourable Gentlemen of the Legislative Council, and Gen tlemen of the House of Assembly— " The period of your Session having been extended to its usual length, there are some measures of great and general interest to the • people of this province, which I bad hoped might have been presented to me sit the result of your labours. Having recommended to you when you met, that some effectual provision for the im provement of the roads should engage your attention, and being aware, horn the 'petitions presented to me, that measures for promoting other valuable objects would be proposed for your consideration, I have not suffered the prorogation of the Legislature to be hastened by any occurrences, heewever unusual. It it not in my power to do more than persevere in urging, on future occasions, an application to those objects which are so connected with the welfare of the people, that an earnest attention to them on the pint of the Legislature could not fail to be rewarded with the immediate attainment of great practical good. " Gentlemen of the House of Assembly— " I thank you in his Majesty's name for the supply which yop have granted for the publieset vice. " Heacesehls Gentlemen— • " Among tale Bills presented to me for the Royal Assent. I am plea.ed to find that you have concurred in a measure providing for the convenient tenure of such parcels of ground as the vatious denominations of Christians may t have occasion to occupy for religious purposes. The Naturalization Bill, which you_ have passed, remains to• be decided upon by his Majesty!. Goves ninon. After all the unnecessary excitement which has been produced by this question, I need only remind you that no measure could be devised, here or •in England, which could ever place the desired relief upon a more indulgent footing than it would long ago have been, if the wishes of Government had been seconded when first expressed. I take leave of you in the confi dent expectation that, among a people so particularly favoured as the inhabitants of Upper Canada, no mis apprehension as to their real and evident interests, and the proper objects of all good government, can be either general or lasting ; and that this season of peace and prosperity which we so happily enjoy will hereafter be employed io a zealous and undivided application to objects of acknowledged utility." The day previous to the prorogation, Colonels Coffin and Givens had been committed by the House of As. semSly to York gaol for a breach of privilege, in baying refused to give evidence before a Committee of the Legislature. appointed to investigate some complaints made by W. Forsyth, of Niagara, to the House, on account of some outrage made upon his property by order of the Lieutenant Governor. His Excellency refused permission for these officers to obey the sum mons of the House, and the Sergeant in consequence brokeopen the residence of Colonel Coffin and arrested the Two Gentlemen, who were committed until the end of tlst • Session,' which his Excellency terminated the following day.

The Marquis of CLEVELAND presented a Pinkies from the Catholics of Dighton, praying for, Catholic Emancipation; also a Petition from Derbyshire, pr tying for general relief, and against the importation of lead ore; also a Petition from York. Lord CA LTHORPR presented a Petition from the Protestant Dissenters of the Baptist denomination of Lumley-area, Horse ferrx-roath Earl GROSVENOR said he bad four Petitions to present, two in favour of the Bill for the repeal of the Test Acts, andlwo for the repeal of than laws under which the Roman Cat holics have so long complained. The Noble Earl expressed himself as wishing to support to the utmost extent the Bill which. was to receive the third reading this day.. He did so from a persuasion that it would lead to peace and cottelliation. He thought their Lordships would du much good by following up their respect fur civil and religious liberty. The Roman Catholics had lung suffered. and the sooner their claims were allowed the better. The Noble Earl then pre sented Petitions from the Unitarians of Cheltenham for the repeal, of the Test and Corporation Acts; also a Petition from the Roman' Catholics of Chester fur the removal of legal disabilities ; and erne to the some effect from the Catholics of Stockport. The Earl of ELDON agreed with the Noble Earl in the effect which the Bill now before the House must have on the Catholic question, and so delighted was he with what had fallen from the Noble Earl, that if he did not, as it seemed to be his intentioh, Ining . thelenee measure before the-House. he (the Sari of Eldon) wouirli-s-IA earl! GROSVENOR did not say he enosideral the measure is ligtoadotl to promote geeing relief to Gehall.al but that be willingly gave his theasent to the akeration proposed, as likely to lead to that. • . Lord ELLEN BOROUGH said. thst if it was not the intention of the Noble Earl to bring the Catholic question before the House, he could wish he had bora more explicit. lie couldthn concur with the Noble Lord, that the Roman Catholics, who were ex cluded by the spirit ;s well as the effect of the law, stood on the some footing with the Dissenters to whom the Legislature bad thought proper annually to exten d Acts of ludemnity, to prevent the practical effects of. the Corporation and Test Acts. He caul; dered It unfair to . argin that because his Majesty's Govermitent - was disposed to repeal a law which was practically annulled, they were therefore to repeal those laws which had been constantly in operation. Lord HARROW BY. in presenting a Padden from the Roman Catholics of LiebSeki, disclaimed all idea of any connection between the two questions. He thought it was unfair that any person hold ing the opinions which he himaelf held on ,Catholic Emancipatim, should ground any claim in favour of that question en the repeal of the Corporation and Test Acts; at the dame time he wished to warn the House against introducing any amendments into the Bill which might prejudice the former measure. • TROT AND CORPORATION ACTS. Lord HOLLAND moved the Order of the Day for the Third Reading of the• Bill for the repeal of th‘ Corporation and Test Acts. The LORD CHANCRLLOR put the question, whirl was carried In the adirmative. Ti. Rarl of ELDON had an amendment to propose to the ilth page of the• MIL Lord HOLLAND had an amendment to propose in a previous part of the Bill, page S. A conversation here took place on the proper course to be ob served in moving amendments. In compliance with the suggestion of Lord Roem, the Clerk was ordered to read the Bill. At that p.m which related to the declaration to be introduced, Lord HOLLAND rose and said that, in the declara tion, after the words, " I, A. B. do solemnly affirm, on the true faith of a Christian," he had an amendment to propose; but he should not now bring it forward. Tirat moat respectable body of person:, he meant the Society of Friends. were under some apprehension that they might be affected by the Bill. In the Toleration Act— in the Act that passed in King reign—at that period•there was a considerable body of men who were comgionlx denominated Quakers, who stated that they could• no; s4ibscribe to the oath t! en proposed in the Bitl,s and, in•the spirit of mercy and peace which shone among those gre.st men of that day, a clause was in troduced,• that those parties should be allowed to take the. declaration in the form their religion permitted. Though he had not had time to examine the particular words in that Act, yet he believed that they were nearly those which were in the declaration in the present Bill. For that very respectable body, who scrupled the form of an oath; an affirmation, approaching the form of an oath, was substituted. In consequence of the feelings of those worthy men, instead of the oath, the words " I solemnly and sincerely declare" were introducedinto that Bill. He had some hopes that these very worthy wen— and better subjects of his Majesty did not exist— (Cheers) —were under erroneous impressions with re spect to the measure, as being likely to prove inju• rictus to them. The declaration should be viewed ad imponentis. It was, however, idle to spec.- Lite upon what had transpired. He would net throw the least obstacle that might delay the great and glorious work ; yet, it it should be hereafter found that the words in the declaration did affect the consciences of those persons to whom he had alluded, then the Le. gislature would• relieve them. Not to waste their Lord ships time, and not to clog the Bill •with amendments, he would abstuits from making one on the face of the Bill. He now came to other wordi in the declaration — he meant the wordi 44 on the true faith of a Christiao," to which he felt a strong objection. When these words were introduced, he felt a strong objection upon press , ciple, and he also objected to them in what they would have in prect ice. The wends impfiesiositheestlh they did not assert in which he serer could, eretei' scientiously concur-o.vie. that a peculiar faith in:m*o revs of religion was essential • to the fulfilment political and temporal obligtions. He felt, on principle—and, as an honest man, he must be perneittedi"' to express it—that he never !mild agree to it. Eh thought also the words might hale an effect apes another class ,of men—he meant persons of the Jewish • persuasion. Parliament • had, on s former occasion, iound.the inconveftencr Of these words, and in some manner they were 'modified. The history respecting the Jews in this country was somewhat curious, and well worth the consideration of the House. If be were to attempt to describe what were the laws after the restoration of Charles 11. as to the state of the Jews in this country. to she commencement of the last century, he might subject himself to the taunts of the Noble and Learned Lord, who would probably say that be was travelling out of the record, and forsaking the character of a politician—which the. racier he (Lord Holland) had no a.•zious wish to be considered as poshasing—and entrenching upon that of a lawyer: butfortvirfild Almost defy the ittle Learned Lord, - with ingenuity (and of that he Ina ne sisal :hurl to abase. idea% was the state of the laws as they affected the' Jestrt, froth the period . of- the /6. storation to the reign of Queen Ant*. Since the lintels period there can be no doubt that the Jews bite in this country were the subjects of the Kiog of Great Britain, as much as any other class had a right to be. At that period, their Lordships would observe that there wits no law io keep Jews out of Parlianient, or of office, except the Sacramental Test. In the reign of Charles It. the oath which was introduced to be taken by the Peers, at their Lordships table, was framed to exclude Catholics. There was no o.th imposed upon the Jew, which could prevent him from becoming a Member of Parliament, or prevent him from holding office, at a later period of history, save and except the Oath of Abjuration. TheAet requiring . the Oath of Abjurations passed in the time of William 111. against thesuccessisin of the house of Stuart, and to keep out the adherents of that excluded family; that Act. generally called the Act of Settlement, was l iaised on the 13th of K.ng William 111. It did happen that the Jews suffered from it, and were kept diet of Parliament ; although, in fact. it was never the in- - tention of Parlianient that it should have that effect. The way they proceeded was to require of every pets°n who did net take the oaths that he should be compelled to register his estates and person, together with a great many other inconvenient regulations. This state of things lasted for some time, for it was found ,tiatt * • oath, declaring that they took it as the true -faidt•:&F. Christian, could not be taken. They applieCto thii• Government, the Government applied to the Lee*. lature, and an Act, the 10th Gen..l. was passed, leaving out the words "on the true faith of a • Christian." However, both one and the other Act passed away, and the Act of the 13th of Geo. H. was enacted, by which Jews were allowed to leave out the words of the oath, "on the true faith of a - Christian." Here then was a precedent, which proved drat the w rods Ott - the. hitt of a awietheir aright-be' left out with safety. He was not willing to press this; upon their Lerchhips. he only wished to do his liberovii animas, wont -and therefore hi moved that the words be left out. Ho moth' not proceed pertinaciously in his objeCtions ; but he would ptft it to she Hours if it was reasooable to'exp ct that a-Bill, whose colerobjem was to promote religious peace in the c•-untry;togillout contain any provisions which would tend to addiesimheis shackleano.herhadge—to those alreadrworiar tory religious sect in this country. He was ankious that this measure, this great work of 'rel•gious pesee; should net be marred by any such consequence. He nested, there fore, that their Lordships would agree in the moti n, and allow those of the Jewish persuasion to onsirthe words "on the srue faith . of a Christian." His Lordship con cluded by moving an amendment to the above effect. The Bishop of LLANDAFF had not been aware before of any such consequences arising from the intro duction of the words in question, but although tty were now pointed out by the Noble Lord, he. (the. r. Prelate) still approved of the words, because Chi istitaity constituted part of the law of the land. He therefore thought it right to say. that he did not intend to sop port that clause which the N•ble Lord had intimated Iris intention of bringing forward at a subs quad past of the Bill. . • - , Lord BEXLEY said,-as it. was so much the object rf Parliament to give relief to all classes of his majesty's subjects, he was disposed to support in principle the motion of the Noble Lord, by introducin, a proviso permitting the Jews to omit 'hive words. To this he . saw no objection. It they had heretofore admitted any Jews to e:cupy offices, it would be a monstrous thing uow to exclude them by weans of a Bill which had for its object to give toleration •to another body of men. He snuuld, therefore,•when they arrived at Nike 4, move a proviso to the effect suggested by tile Noble Lord—(Hear). . The Earl of ELDON said, that the Church of Eng. land was au inseparable pan of the Constitution of England, yet. and it was with the greatest pain he made the remark. the utmost zeal wa, manifested in that House for the interests of every other teligion, and the members of every other Church, with the single excel)• tion of those of 'the Church of England. The Noble Biron had said. on a former occasion, that he hoped the time would soon arrive when the word ,Tolera tion would never be heard in that House, and when the protessors of every religion would be considered all alike. In this he went much further than his friends the antkers would go with him. The declaration required of them, and in which they readily and cheerful.y acquiesced, included tt.e be. lief in the Trinity, and in the divine authority of the Holy Scriptures. This they took upon their affir mation. But henceforth, it seemed, not only the Quakers. but the Jev, s also, were to be rendered capable of holding civil offices in this country, and the administra tion of its affairs entrusted to them. Many of their Lordships were old enough to remember the result cf a former attempt of the same kind ; and be begged them to recollect what uneasiness they were now likely. to occasion, by their changes and alterations, to the con scientious members of the Church of England, and which, indeed, they had excited already. If they were to reverse every thing that had been done at the Re volution, then. to be sure, a Jew was as fit as any other man to hold,ciffice. If this was to be,the principle, that the Stet, had no right to inquire into the faith of a moo '.4 t.
