The Marquis of BRISTOL presented a Petition for the Repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts, from the Protestant Dissenters of Bury St. EdMund's. The Earl of RADNOR in presenting several Petitions to the same effect, begged leave to observe, that he was not acquainted with any of the Petitioners excepting those belonging to the City of Salisbury. He was, however, bound to state that the Petition from that place was very numerously and respectably signed by the Protestant Dissenters of every denomination. The Noble Lord . then presented Petitions from the Erotestant Dissenters of the City of Salisbury ; of Swansea ; of Hinckley, in tbe County r f Lincoln ; of a place In Merionethshire ; of Swaff ham ; of Builth, in the County of I3recon; and of King street, in the Town of Maidstone.

The French brig of war Le Race, which was lately moored in that road, lost there two anchors. The Pacha of Tripoli being informed of the accident, immediately caused two others to be delivered to Lieutenant Dela- Commander of tlit vessel, arid would not receive the value of them. The Paella positively declared to that Officer, that whatever may happen he will always remain the friend and ally of France. SARAGOSSA, Fn. 110.—psturst Cosizsrownner.

Thus the authorities of Catalonia are endea vouring to clear the country, as far as possible, of the men who might endanger the tranquillity of the pro vinces.

Yesterday morning . news was received from Count Guillemiaot, dated Corfu. Mr. Parish, Secretary to the English Legation at Constantinople, arrived at Paris the day before yesterday. The Committee appointed to draw di) the Address in answer to his Majesty's speech met again toclay. It is probable that the proposed Address will be discussed on Monday in a Secret Committee. AMERICA. We have received New York Papers to the 10th ult. On the sth, it was resolved, in tbe.House of Represen tatives, that a Select Committee should be appointed to consider %%bat retrenchments could be effected in the Public Orates and Departments, and whether any mo dification of the inking Fund Act could be made with a view to produce the speedy extinguishment of the Debt. The Committee of Congress on Trade made a Re poirto Congress on the Sd of February, and a Bill, founded on the Report, had been twice read, imposing higher- duties on the import of cotton and woollen goods, on iron ware, on glass, on the goods manufactured from hemp, and on -foreign spirits and molasses. It appears Von this measure that the Americans are going on a principle directly contrary to that of the British Ministry. • Accounts from Mexico state, the Asia, late- Spanish line of battle ship, had arrived at Vera Cruz from the Pacific, and had joined Admiral Porter's squadron; the latter intended to give battle to the Spanish fleet. At the Havannah the Asia captured a sloop ot war from Spain, bound to the Havannah, with 2CO recruits. The accodnts from Mexico, by this arrival, announce that on the 24th ot December the Extraordinary Ses sion of the Federal Congress terminated. The Sot of December 25 contains the Address delivered - at the opening of the extra Session of Congress on the 20th of same month, by his Excellency Lorenzo de Lavellor. It also contains a Decree of the sovereign State of Vera Cruz, issued by the Vice-Governor, relative to the time fixed for the departure of all Spaniards. The new tariff was to go into operation on the 22d of Fe. bruary, 1828. -The Ccinsolado duty of 1 per cent. was abolished ; all goods not enumerated in the tariff were to pay forty per cent. duty, on the vallation the majority of three persons appointed by the Con signee, the Collector, and the State Interventor. Goods imported under the old tariff are to pay 17 per cent. if dispatched to the interior; a proportionate reduction to be made in the duties on damaged goods. The ton nage duty to be seventeen rials per ton. Exports of the• country to be free of duty, except gold aed silver, which remain as before. Goods imported in Mexican vessels, direct from the country where manufactured, to pay 5.61hs of the duty named in the Tariff. The new Tariff of the United States had been read a second time in the House of Representatives, and 6000 copies ordered to be printed. The accounts from Columbia ate to the sth of January. has been issued for the organization of the Militia the Provinces on the Northern Coast for secu riAirnaitoagainst order the expeditions fitted out at Ferrol and Cadiz. In the Province of Valencia eight battalions were to be formed, and in the other fifteen. Theie troops were to be in constant readiness to take up arms, and while actually employed, were to be paid.like gular troops. • Lord GWYDYR presented similar Petitions from Spibby, Steeping, and other places, in the County of Lincoln. The Dake of BEDFORD presented a similar Petition front the Protestant Dissenters of Milton, in the County of Kent. • Lord CLIFDEN had a Petition to present from the Roman Catholics of the town of Liverpool, but shwas a Petition in which they did not pray for any thihg far themselves. A Noble Friend of his had presented last week a Pe from a great number . of the Roman Catholics o land, praying for the repeal of.the laws ri lf which in' ed and insulted the Protestant Dissenters of this country. And a Noble Lord in the other Heins* of Parliament, who so worthily represented the borough of Aylesbury, had recently presented to that House a similar Petition, signed by above seven thousand Eng lish Catholics, with the Doke of Norfolk at their head. The Petition which he bad now the honour to present, was from ten thousand of the Catholic inhabitants . of Liverpool, and the first seven signatures to it • wAre those of seven Catholic Clergymen. There were some who thought that the Catholics were necessarily adverse to every thing Protestant ; but he thought these Peti tions might be taken as a sufficient answer to this accu sation. •• He would now intrude upon their Lordships with a few words upon the general question, as, perhaps, another op'poitunity might not be afforded hips. The Test Laws were obnoxious to every feeling and princi ple of religion. They were the means by which men, regardless of religion, obtained access to office. He would put the case of a voter in a Cornish borough, who might have the offer of a place. He would per haps say, "I cannot accept it—l am a Dilsenter." The potion would reply, " Oh, oh, never mind, it is a mere ceremony." And the man, perhaps struggling against poverty, would thus be tempted to the violition of the Sacrament. He would quote the lines of Cowper, which were well applied to this subject: " Hut thou by statute shoved from'its design The &nova's feast, kis own blest bread and wing, And made the symbols of atoning grace . An office-key, a picklock to a place, That Infidels may prove their title good ' • By an oath dipped in sacramental blood? A blot that will be still a blot, in spite .. Of all that grave apologists may write: - And though a tishop toil to cleanse the stain, He wipes and scours the silver cup in vain. And bast thou sworn on e4ery slight pretence, Till perjuries are common as bat pence ; While thousands, careless of the damning- sin, • spthe book% outside, who tu'er look Irithi'. It was eeemed by many persons an• act of folly,on the part of the Catholics to interest themselves on behalf of the Protestant'. Dissenters, whose religietii principles ware the most remote from their okri. - . But the Ca tholics took a wise and mor e liberal view of 'the subject —they knew that their cause must be promoted by the abolition of any existing tests or disqualificatiOna of a religious nature. In consequence of 'fire violation of the promise given by Charles ur. at Breda, previoas to the Restoration, by the estatifinent of .the Five Mile Act, . the Conventicle Act, anit.otberActs; for the seppres sion of Dissent, 6:0 tho - ussiiid Dissenters had been thrown into prison. Charles 11. was, in fait, nn' better than Henry the Eighth, and those` two powerful mo narchs had been aptly Ind eloquently denominated the Belial and Moloch of Intolerance. He was convinced, however, that the power of public opinion and of the press could not longer be resisted. .. Lord REDESDA LE said, that the Nord Lord oppo site was in error in some of his historical references.— His regard to religion was equally erroneons,.for upon his principle it would be a violation of religions liberty to require the administration of an oath in a ()nun of Justice. The principle upon which the. Test and Cor poration Acts were founded, was quite different from what the Noble Lord had supposed. The pi inciple was that no right, not even the right of property, could exist in a state of security without the supre macy of political power being united with those rights. .a--The principle, he contended, was a sound one, and it was as applicable to the rights of the Church of Eng land as to any other. If they looked back into history, they would find that the Church of England had been overthroWn the moment the superior political power and the army got into the hands of their opponents. This was the principle of the Test and Corporation Acts, and it was a principle which he should always support. How had Henry the Eighth been enabled to suppress the monaster ies ? He and his father, pne of the ablest Monarchs ever knows to England, had availed themselves of the circumstances of the times to centre in the Crown a degree of political power which it had not previously possessed, and this enabled him to ac complish his purposes, which were not undertaken from any religious motives; for, excepting when he was thwarted by the Court of Rome, he was a very zealous Catholic. After a variety of other historical Mastro , tions, the Noble Lord pronounced it to be his decided opinion that the Petitioners fur the, repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts, Whether they wereCatifolica or Protestant Dissenters, had in view thelLitne object—the overthrow of the Church of EnglifitiC.This was On object 'of the Petitioners. He had brit forward a measure to relieve the Catholics from ,suns teal evils ' under which they laboured. • But the Irish Catholics refused to take an oath,thich:the Englisheatholics took without difficulty; ankihe only •groontl of this difference which he could- everiliccree'was, that the English Catholics wsre without: any tope of, re-esta blishing their religion in • this-eountiy, while: the Irish Catholics still entertained some hopes of re-establish menties in Ireland. - ' Lord KING said that the Noble Lord had treated the question entirely a political one ; but seemed dis posed, levet thelesss, to draw to himself all the r algious aid be could in support of these Tent. Ire 11;4 said, that Charles the Second was not the Maker of these Tests ; but if he was not the maker, be was certainly one of the greaten tatters of them.
