Tat Luca renews. Their Lordships met this morning in Committee of Privilege, the Earl of ISHAFTIAICRY in the Chair. Further evidence to prove the Wise of Mr. CH:An D os LEAdli to this dormant title end immense estates was adduced. It was, however, for the most part, merely documentary, and very u n i nterest i ng . The further consideration was postponed to the 29th of April. The claimant, Mr. Cnatroos Lamu, was present during the proceedings. -He is a hale, beaft.hy looking country Gentleman, dressed in the costume of olden times," and apparently about sixty years of age. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat upon the Woolsack at five o'clock. . antssace PROM THE COMXONS. Lord Anna Russzt.t., Mr. Srxes, and Sir T. FLEZMAN. brought up the Test and Corporation Acts Repeal Bill, the Penryn Dis franchisement Bill, and two private Bills. AIIErThITENT OF THE LAW. The Memorandum in Writing Bill, and the Record Variance Bill; were aeverally read a third time and passed. PENRYN IHIERAECHISTMENT DILL* This Bill, on the motion of Lard CA RNARVON_, arts read a first time, and ordered to be read a s e cond time on Thursday, the 17th iostant, and their Lorthhio to be swear-lobed for that day. Lord CARNAILVON said that it was his iltention, with the permission of their. Lordships, to bring in a Bill to indemnify the witnesses' examined cr to be exa mined before the other House of Parli.ernelt, or at •their Lordships' bar, from the effects of any admissions they might make. He understood there was no intention to oppose this measure, and he should move the first read ing now, and move the su‘petasion of the Standing Order to-morrow, with a view to expedite the passing of the Bill. The Earl of LAUDERDALE said, that the Bill which had been jui•t read a first time was one of avert; peculiar nature, and he thought the second reading should not be definitively fixed until it had been ascer tained that the parties who had an interest in opposing it were prepared to lay their case before the House. Earl GREY thought that the House would postpone the second reading upon the application of parties inte rested, in certain circumstances, but would require them to show not merely that they were not prepared to submit their case, but that their being so was not occa sioned by any ladies of their °wit After the ample notice afforded to the parties by the proceedings in ano ther place, he could not conceive that this could be pleaded in the present case ; and he, for one, should be disposed to resist any application for unnecessary or frivolous delay.. The Peoryn Witnesses Indemnity Bill was then brought in and read a first time. Lord CAR NA RVON handed a list of Witnesses to the Clerk, and moved that they be severally stmimased to attend the House on Thursday, the 17th instant. The Bishop of BRISTOL presented a Petition from thellector, Churchwardens, and other Inhabitants of the Parish of Evesham and also another Petition, against .nay ful-oer concession to the Ito: alai Catholics. • • • • CORN LAWS. Lord ROSSLYN moved for a Return of the Quan tity of,Graia and Flour imported from Ireland to this country from the sth of January, 1827, to the sth of January, 1828, and continued to the present time, so far as the same could be conveniently made up. speci fying into what ports of Great &kali, the importation had taken place, and distinguishing the. quantity im ported before and - after the 14t wf July, 1827. The Nos ble Lord also moved for several other Returns relatini to the Averages. After a short conversation, in which Lord MALMO'. BURY, the Duke of WILLINOTON, and Lord GODBRION took part, the motions were agreed to. The Earl of MALMESBURY begged te inquire of the Noble Doke if these was any truth in the rumour he had heard, that Mr. Jacob had been employed daring the last year upon the Continent of Europe, in collem, log information with respect to the mate of foreige agriculture, and if he had presented a Report upon the(' subject to Government ? He should be glad to find the rumour confirmed, as they bad derived valuable infor., mation from the former Reports of that Gentleman.' They had learned from it, among other things, the where agricultural produce was extremely cheap, the people were generally extremely wretched. The Duke of WELLINGTON replied, that it was' true that Mr. Jacob bad been so employed, and that Government were in possession of his Report, which, if it was the wish of their Lordships, should be laid before them. The Earl of MALMESBURY then moved an hum ble Address to his Majesty, praying that any turtharl Report received from Mr. Jacob be laid before the' House; which, after a few words from the Earl of LAII•' DERDALE and the Duke of WELLINGTON, was agreed te. On the motion of the Earl (I•MALMESBURY, va- 1 rious o th er Returns relating to the Importation of Code from Ireland and from Foreign Countries were ordered to be laid before the House, and an Address to his Ma jesty voted for the Consular Returns, up to the present time. • TEST AND CORPORATI 1N ACTS. Lord HOLLAND, in rising to move the first reading of the Corporation and Test Acts Repeal Bill, said that it was neither necessary nor usual, on the fist reading, 'ef a Bill, however great importance auached itself to. it, to enter into a discussion of its merit', or go through the various topics contained in it ; and yet, although it was unusual to bring forward at such a period as the present the arguments that might be adduced in favour of the subject, which he had the honour to bring before their Lordships, yet he felt assured that common tour tesy would prevail with them to listen to him for a few moments, while he endeavoured to express his senti ments on the occasion. And Le felt happy in - the con viction that the Bill, of which he now moved the Brit reading, and which had passed by a considerable ma jority in the other. House of Perlinment, would meet, with similar success in this. lie might, perhaps, be considered to 'be premature in his enticipation,'and yet he could not help, even at this early stage of the proceedings, giving expression to the hope which he felt arising within him, that the numerous petitions which had been signed by so large &portion of a most respectable class of his Majesty's subjects, would not be disregarded by his Majesty's Government, but meet with that success which justice pointed out as doe, and policy dictated as expedient. He felt also other grounds for this hope to arise,fromthe frankness end candour which those who confessed themselves thioppments of the measure bed ever displayed ;and last, though not least, the kind end' conciliating cooduct which had been ever shown on the occasion by the clergymen of the Establithed Church of the country ;but still spore he felt, that the intrinsic met it at the Bill itself woitld be alone sufficient to. gain it success in each .of-the three readings in the House,und ball/ /Kite itthijilal . assent from the throne, and FRENCH PAPERS. IRON TZI GAZETIR Di PEARCE, MARCH 31. VIENNA, Maacu 20. We have aecived bra courier of the Spanish Lega tion, who left Constantinople on the IScl 'February, the , following news, which it is said had a marked influence on the, minds of the public, whom the rigorous mea tares of the pokce and the repoits of war had at first much alarmed. On the 20th 'the Danish Minister and the Charges d'Affaires of Spain and Naples repaired W the Porte, .on the inVitation et the - Reis Effendi, for the exchange of the ratifiCations of the Convention signed on the 16th October Lit, and which admits into the Black Sea the 'gag of those three Powers. On the following day those Ministers received from the Tbrkish :11inistry, in the natheef - the Sultan, in exchange for the presents which they had offered on this occasion, on the part of their C.ourts, to the. Ministers of the Parte, similar presents, .nsistingof snuff-boxrs, set with diamonds, for the Chiefs' of the Missions, and others of inferior value for the Sectetaries and Interpreters. As the Conventions, lately ratified, were concluded, according to the Con. vention of Akermann, the solemn ratificatko of them is considered as a proof that the Porte is inclined to fulfil the Obligat'ons restAtiig from the Treaties. • The Reis Effendivat the same time, caused artisans to be delivered to. the 'Austrian merchantmen, which have been long detained, which is sufficient to refute the report that the tatels resolved completely to close the Bosphorus. • • Lastly, we leatik that the Greek Patriarch, who ad dressed a Petition some time ago to the Sultan in favour cf the insurgents, has received a written answer to it, the contents of which are not precisely known; but we are assured upon very good authority, that it is con ceived in very moderate terms, and that it contains,• among other assurances, that of an unlimited amnesty. It grants the insurgents a delay of three months to take advantage of the amnesty offered, during which time hostilities both by sea and land are to be considered as suspended on the part of the Porte. EGINA. Fissimar 14. • The President of Greece exerts himself to restore order in the country, and the three shipsuf war, theWarspite, the Juno, and tbe Helena, which the Powers have placed at his disposal, and which now bear the Greek Bag, second him with great energy. All are eager to show their submission to him, and rostrums have been set np in the streets, from which the most eloquent orators ex hort the people to gratitude to the Allies, and to obedi ence to Count Capo d'lstria. The Deliberative sits every day, and is engaged on subjects of public utility. The Couzst freqpently attends. He constantly recommends union and obedience. A short speech which he latelyt made, proves that be is a man calculated te bring back io civilirsation a people who have fallen into barbarism. " Europe)' said he, " accepts us among its Allies. To attain so noble an object, I have sacrificed my enjoy. meats, my health, and my fortune. I would willingly sacrifice my life, if tLe good of my country required it . • but I could not resolve, cannot resolve, to risk myi character for an instant.

He (Lord Holland) did trust, that he would be excused from giving vent to his feelings, and he ho fed 'their Lordships would;putdoss any warmth that Le might oo the occasion' betray. tie felt constrained, so say, that if he should in any respect be.the instrument of carrying the mrst,ure contained' in that Bail into effect, be would die satisfied that he had never ren dered a more essential service to his country than in •bus remosi ig one of the greatest barriers to its leap p;ness and prosperity. The Noble Lord said, he woul4 • sugi,est the expediency of not having the 11:11 read W.:••• • 'ecoud time until after the Easter recess; .pod assr.he' • understood the Nob'e Doke (W I.li4gton) icte 40' • 'stove fqt en adj.cowatment . of the House until Tuesday. the 13th instaot, he would m..ve that their Lordships. be summoned for Thursday the 17th, on which occasio*. be would introduce the.

"it •he same time he wished to acquaiot their Lorcships3lll - in case any thing should occur to render it advisable la postpone tie subject to .any more distant perio,tahc would ern pledge himself to move for its being read a second time. His LOBINIIIIT then presented a Petition from the Congregstian of an Unitarian Chapel in Finsbury-square, praying for a Repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts, which the Noble Lora obeerved prayed not only for a Repeal of such laws as affected tht•niscler4, but also ifor a removal of ad civil disabilities whatever, on ground of religious differences. • Lord LANSDOWNpresented the following Petition., rray , rg for the Repeal'uf the Ten and Corporation Acts—from the .)- testant Dissenters of North College•street, and other Cltapcils is Edinburgh; from Proton, in the county of Devon; lions the Con amulets of an Independent Chapel, Southampton; Kingabrikr, Devonshire; from the Assembled Corporate Trades of the btroutis :Of Arbroath; from the Corporations of Masons, Coopers Natle- Slaters, and others is Edinburgh; from .

Mr. LAWLEY presented a similar Petition from the hlaluters of Alcester, in the county of Warwick.—Tbe Petitions were ddered to be printed. • CORPOSATION AND TUT ACTS. Mr. FERGUSON preiented,a •Petition from the Ministers and . Elders of the Presbytery of Paisley in f f the unqualified re peal of the Test and Corporation Acts. The district from which the Petition came included nineteen parishes and 112,090 inhabi tants, among Whom were twenty officiating Ministers; and she Petitioners coniptskrettluu the alteration of the Laer.bY the NU before the Have held mit an inducement to Members of the Church of Scotland.to renounce their communion with it. The LORD ADVOCATE of SCOTLAND con 'tended, that by the Act of Union the proposed Acs for Ithe protection of the Church of England could hale no ect in Scotland. If it had any effect, it would be . .to give protection to the Church of Scotland to the UM, extent as to that of England. The intolerance of the. Church of England had been much spoken of, but. the conduct of the Church of Scotland was equally open to remark. It had been stated, its genera). terms, that the Members of the Church of Scotland, on acceptihg office, are bound to take the Sacramental test. Un doubtedly a member of the Church of Scotland ct m.rim to England, and accepting an office in an English. Cor poration, or what was merely an English office, Was bound to comply with the provisions of the law, 14 , taking the Sacramental test; in the same way,a meas. ber of thp Church of. England, iu order to become M4llO ter of a Scotch University, or to hold some other offices, must sign the Scotch Confession of Kith. and become a member of that Establishment. But he humbly.con ceivedihat to a British office, which s as reithee:Scotch nor English, but belonging to both, sad open to the subjects of bo.h, a member of the Church of Scotland was eligible, and . might legally refuse to take , the La usanne as a test of qualificaton. • Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH slid the. Learned Lord had admiued the whole grievance. The Honourable Member then proceeded to defend the Scottish Church against the charge of intolerance brought against it• by the Learned Lord, and contended that the Bill would operate beneficially for Scotchmen in Great He could not bete refrain from again complimenting • his Noble Frieud (Lord John Russell) upon the success of the measure which be was then about carrying op to the bar of the House of Lords for the repeal of two most intolertint Acts. Every- Honourable Member was: aware how intimately connected 'the name of Ru sse ll was with the subject of religious liberty.; but there wa4 a more peculiar and interesting connexion between the name and - the blood of the Noble Lord, and the :object of his Bill, than the House was probablyaware of. the first person who attempted to repeal the Test Act was King William, who, five weeks after he becantr seated on the throne of these kingdoms, came down to Perim meat and implored of them to•admit the Protestant Dissenters to the unrestricted exercise of their religious principles. He came down on the very same tiry to implore of Parliament to "take a national atonement for a national crime, byrelieving the country from the stain that 'had been' axed on it by •the attainder of ~-
