There were indeed a few fugleasen who wile cutting capers and plating antics before it to try to fill their.ranks, bet be trusted that the good sense of the country would prevent them from succeeding, and that the attempt to raise anew the horribkery of " No Popery" would fail. After a few words frem z ßari Daamsy, the Petition was laid oaths table. Lord,COLCHßSTEßlorought up the Report of the Committee on the Scotch Peers' Trial OM, and afterwards brought in a Bill fomulet upon it, which whit read a first time. Thifieri ot DARNLEY wished to take this opportunity of callisig *irk Leidehips' attention to a subject of very great import. sate. He understood from what bad passed in the other Houses that hie Majesty's Ministers had *raised , permission to vessel@ to land their cargoes of cotton withoutoseasnination. In his snubs, his Majesty's Government ought to - proceed with great cantles is a matter of such great moment as any alteration of the 41,1allesstipe Laws, as those laws bad preserved us from infection for morethais a century. He should on Tuesday sett bring this subject qnder the consideration of their Lordships. MR. ICKNRICK. The Earl of ESSEX said, he had ventured to trou ble the House a few weeks ago, on the subjecs of Mr. Kenrick, a Welch Judge, and'also a Magistrate of the County of Surrey. -He had then taken the liberty of putting a question to the Noble and Learned. Lord on the Woolsack, but hehad not obtained any satisfactory answer. He had at that time wished to make, a motion on the subject, but lie was prevented by some technical objections. Since that time one of the greatest violations of justice had been ccmmitted by that Judge, but re specting that he should not go into any particulars, as the, proceeding had been compromised; though it had been repotted in the Papers, and the Attorney-General had expressed his disgust at the transaction, in the - mist marked manner. Several of the Magistrates of Surrey had expressed the..same sentiments, and indeed refused to sit on the Bench with him. He (Lord Esses) had heard, that notwithstanding all this, kir. Kenrick still retained his situation as a Welch Judge, and was still a Justice oft the. Peace for the County of Surrey. Everybody knew that the whole of the proceeding in which •Mr. - reprick was a party, witt a flagrant viola tion of justice? but as there was no mode of proceeding against him, he (Lord Essex) could,bet repeat his ques tion, whether any communication had been made from the Court of King's Bench ?--[The LORD CHARM.. LOR.•••••" No." —Then it must rest with the Noble and Learned Lord to declare whether Mr. Kenrick should remain in the Commission of the Peace? If he did not think it proper co remove such a blagiitrate, then he (Lord Essex) had not another word to say. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, he believed the in dividual alluded to stood in the same situation as every other Judge, and could not be removed but by an Address of both Houses of Parliament. Tire LORD CHANCELLOR said, he apprehended that no step could be taken but for misconduct in his judicial capacity, and then the proceeding must be by address of both Houses of Parliament. As to the Com mission of the Peace, be would observe that it was a most imperious duty on the ,Casio: Roidoritnt of the county to recommend only fit and proper persons. Tha usual course in cases of misconduct was, after the Ma. tactrate had been convicted in the Court of King's h a communication was made to the Lord Chan cellor, who did.what was his duty in striking such per son out of the Commission of the Peace. But he must observe, that the person bolting the Great Seal should in such cases act with Treat caution. In a pveeed ins he remembered against a Justice of the Peace, for applying to his own use monies which he had levied as fines, the proceeding was grounded on the affidavit of four or five persons who were afterwards tried and convicted of perjury on that affidavit. In the present case, he had had no communication from any Court of Justice whatever. He had indeed learnt from the Newspapers, that Mr. Kenrick's application to the Cow t of King's Bench, for a criminal information against a Newspaper, had been refused, on the ground that he had himself appealed to the Public by the publication of a letter in the Stamford Newspaper. On such authority, if even the statements were correct, be doubted whether it would have been his duty to iuterftre.—The conver sation here dropped. The Bills on their Lordships' table were forwarded one stage, and the House adjourned. HOUSE OX COMMONS. Mr. Serjeant ONSLOW presented a Petition from the Vicar, karchwardena, and Parishioners of St. Martin in the Fields, against*, TheMee Quay Bill On the motion of General Han; the Loughneak Navigation MI win read amend time.

Mr. CHARLES CALVERT preseuted three Petitions, from the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's • the Parishioners of AU Saints, Poplar ; and Sc. Paul's, Shadwell, against the Collier Dock Act.

CALL OF 1111 ROOS& On a motion for leave of absence for a Member for a fortnight, on urgent private business, Sir J. NEWPORT rose to declare, that be would divide the House against every motion of this kind which was not accompanied with a medical certificate of incapacity to attend. The importance of the question to be taken into consideration on the night for which he had moved for the Call of the House was such as to render the absence of any Member, on any other ac-. count, totally inexcusable. He was determined to , enforce the talk and to oppose the grant of lease crabsesee IP any ether eases than those attested by medical certificates of bamposky attaid. &Wed Modem of the Med were made notwithstanding, and leave was obtained. Mr. CUR WEN presented a Petition from Workington; fee an alteration in the Corn laws. Mr. DAWSON brought up returns of persons committed, con. vieted, and imprisoned under the Game Laws. BRZACII OF PAMLICO'. • Mr. Secretary PEEL called the attention of the House to a Petition which he held in his hand, alleght a gross injustice which bad been deneto the Petitioners, and which comprised a no less gross breach of the pti vileges of the House. On the 17th of March last, the Honourable Baronet, Member for Waterford, had Pia seated a Petition to e House, professing to be aped by fourteen persons of the town of Balinasloe, in favour of conceding to the Roman Catholics their claims. The petition now presented was signed by thirteen out of the fotirVesto slimes attached to the fbrnier Petition, and, they compliinixi that a forgery had been comsOted, by which sentiments had been attributed to them the opposite of those witich they held towards the Itomand Catholics, and the House had been, imposed upon stc.. cordingly. The question for the consideration of the House would be, how to justify the wrong done to the .general right of Petitioning, berth as it respected the credibility of Petitions, and the readiness of Members to present them ? and in the next place, how to vindi cate their privilege from -so gross an indignity. It would be impossible to present Petitions if the reliance of Members in the representations of Petiti .ners were shaken ; and in a country so distant as Ireland, none but written representations could generally be had. If the present Petition' should be received, he would move for a Select Committee to in. quire hue the circumstances. Sir JOHN NEWPORT said, that he had presented the Petition on the 17th of March, upon the same gronnds of confidence which he had for nine-tenths of .all the Petitions he ever presented—the written repre sentations of .those who professed to be the subscribing parties, who accompanied their statement with much circumstantial information. Undoubtedly he bad been deceived, and the House had in consequence been misled ; and it was fit that the abuse should be sought out and punished. . Mr. Secretary PEEL said, that the Petitioners were aware that the Honourable Baronet had been imposed upon, and that be was not at all to blanie.—The Petition was brought up and referred, together with that of ?Arch 17; to a Select Com mittee, to examine and report to the House. LINIIN LAWS. Sir H. PARNELL withdrew his notice of motion upon this subject, in consequence of an understanding' that Government were about to move for a Committee, before whiob the inquiry could be more effectually conducted. S 4 GEORGE HILL then moved for a Select Cons mittee to enquire into the laws for the regulation of the Linen Manufactures in Ireland, especially in regard to the impor tation of hemp and dressed 114 x. After a discussion, in which Mr. MAIMILY ' i Mr. Home, Mr. ROBSITION and Mr. FITZGIIIALD said a few words each. the Committee was appciiated. PLURALITIES IN IRELAND. Sir J. NEWPORT rose to submit the motion on this subject, of which he had given notice. The facts he should state to the House were not of questionable authority, but were drawn from the Reports of the Archbishops and Bishops of the Established Church kin Ireland. First, wi h respect to Unions, the late Primate said that they were the greatest defects of the establishment, and that some of those of former times were highly objectionable. lf, however, the House would look to the returns made in 1807, and since, it would find that Unions existed, opposed to every principle which ought to regulate Church go- vernment. So far as he could ascertain, there was no statute which gave the power of making Episcopal' Unions, nor except the See of Norwich, which ob tained a specific Act of Parliament for the purpose, ,were there any in England, where the force of public opinion would be mere adequate to controul the abuses of the system than in Ireland. The Honourable Baronet went on to adduce instances in which the evil of improper Episcopalian unions of parishes was con spicuous. Thus lie knew of a union of ten parishes, forty miles in extent, six of the parishes being islands. Hot this was not a solitary case—many of a similar notate could be pointed out. Another point to which he thought the legislative interference of Parliament ghoul.; be directed, was' the system of pluralities, which was productive of so much mischief in Ireland. This was a branch of amendment which would be en f tossed by the 801 l be should prlpse to introduce._ • Auch to the credit of the present Primate of Ireland, he had expressed his decided disapprobation, and consider ably discountenanced the practice of granting faculties for the holding of more than one parish by the same in dividual—(Hear,hear).—lle restricted this power within a certain limitation determined by the value of the pa rish already held by the M nister. Feeling, however, that the abolition of these faculties would diminish considerably the income of the Judge of the Preroga tive Court, who derived large fees from this branch of his functions, he resolved upon doing what he was sure must command the admiration of the House, for he re solved to indemnify him to the full amount out of his archiepiscopal revenues—(Hear). He calculated that the loss to the Judge of the Prerogative Court would be full £5OO a year, which sum he accordingly desired to hold himself accountable for. The learned indivi dual alluded to, however, refused to become the pen sioner of the Primate, agreeably to the benevolent and liberal proposal of that eminent individual.— This :hewed how much better it would be to give sala ries in preference to fees to individuals similarly situated. With regard to the other object of his Bill, the restsict in* Archbishops and Bishops from making improper episcopalian unions, he thought it a strange anomaly that these persons should be left unrestricted when the Lord Lieutenant and Privy Council were placed under restrictions. The Hon. Baronet then moved for leave to bring in a Bill " To limit the power of holding a plurality of benefices and to repeal the Statutes granting power to the Archbishops and Bishops to make Epis copalian Unions, in Ireland." Mr.GOULBURN said, his sentiments had always been favourable to the support of the Church of Ireland without limit. He desired to_ see it retain all its adtan cages, and to be Ilapported , - ion all sides; but when a case of abuse could be pointed out he was always most anxious to see it corrected. He took no credit to himself for these feelings, for they belonged in common with him to the whole Church of Ireland. These, however, being his views, the only question between him and the Honourable Baronet was, whe ther his proposed measure was calculated to have a salutary tendency ? The Members of the Irish Church, he was persuaded, would entertain no hostility to it; for they had been always forward to introduce amend ments. He entirely concurred in the commendation bestowed upon the Primate, the circumstances of which be certainly should have felt it his duty to mentiob, I had the Hon. Baronet failed to do so. But in order to judge of this Bill they must have it before them. As it promised to be a Bill of amendment, be could have no objection to its introduction. The Primate of Ire land nad already so regulated the matter of Pluralities, that he had placed it upon the same footing as it was in Englaid ; and thus a great part of the evil was removed. He (Mr.Goulburn) entirely entered into the feeling which had dictated the eulogium upon Dr. Rad cliff, the Judge-.of the Prerogative Court. No mar; belonging to any bar, or in any judicial station, was gadded to higher praise. He could not, however, con gest at pages to go along with the Honourable Baronet in any interference with the Ecclesiastical Court of bolted. His reason for this was that the Commissioners of Inquiry into judiciary matters in Ireland had not into that Court. He feared they would not l et eatne make a Repeat on the subject before the end of this Session; and be thought it would be promisee I t o legislate upon that part of the question before they 'had the opinions of the Commissioners to guide theta. With respect td Dr. It the Government of Ireland i thought it better, n the sbeantirne, to make Op the deficiency to him at the end of the year. With 'respect to the Clergy, in dividing parishes, the Irish Govern. ment did all they could to multiply the number of respectable resident Clergymen, hejngiienpaded of tie great advantage to be derived from that source. 6 Dr. LUSIIINGTON was glad toad the Right Honourable Gentleman was disposed to concii with the motion of the Right Honourable Baronet; and he hoped his Honourable Friend would persevere till die Church'of Ireland was placed on such a footing by legislative enactments, u would render the abase of Noo.residettee less d ent. M RANT said a few words is favour of the motion._ Mr. V. FITZGERALD saw no objection to the mn. tion ; and as there was so little acrimony in the state ments of the night Honourable Baronet, he should abstain front making any observations on them. Air. S. RICE expressed his concurrence Is► the proposed men. sure.—Leave was then granted to bring In the Bill. • PARLIA M 'NTS ET DOCUMENTS. Mr. S. RICE moved, pursuaut to notice, for a Select Committee to inquire into the state and condition of the printed Journals and Indexes of the House of Commons; and also the Reports and other printed Papers, and report upon the stme to the House. This was a motion pre cisely similar to one made by Lord Glenbervie in 1803 ; since that period there had been a considerable number of important papers presented to the House, and he thought there could be no act more gratifying to the House, or more useful as a means of general informa tion, than ne printing in a similar way all the valuable 'papers which a Committee might select from the gene ral mass. --- ----- Mr. BANKES observed, it was not the printed Journals of the House that the motion should be directed against; but the Reports and other Papers. After a few words from Sir Jour; NIWFORT, in support of the motion, Mr. S. Rica adopted the amendment suggested by Mr. Bankes, the motion was agreed to, and the Committee appointed. Mr. S. RICE then moved, That it be an instruction to the said Committee " To consider and arrange the, Reports in Volumes, to make an estimate of the expense of doing so, and also to consider of and provide a proper place for the sale custody of the printed hooks and Papers of the House, to which the Members might have easy access." Mr. V. FITZGERALD supported the motion. Mr. CHOKER adverted to the importance of having the valuable papers in possession of Parliament prgs., petly digested and prepared for permanent preserva tion. He had early taken this view of the subject, and the papers which had. already been brought to light by a similar process, he deemed to be immensely valuable. They tended to assist towards the compilation of a h;s tory of the country, such as perhaps no country ever had. If they got from the appointment of this Com mittee a mere Index, it would be worth having. At first he thought the Committee bad better apply themselves to make a digest from the papers, from the time of the Union to the present period. After that they might go back, and nothing, ke was persuaded, would be more serviceable on the score of the general history, the statistics, and the economy ado the country. As one amongst a multitude of remarkable discoveries that bad been made by the last search, he would meotion the discovery, that the Members of that House used formerly to vote by proxy. He did not mean to offer an opinion as to the propriety of reviving that practice ; certainly, if they were at that moment to go to a division, he feared they would want something like proxies to make up their number.—The motion was then agreed to.

Ile 1 r 54•4 41 I have written you long letters from Challonca, Ma mare, Croenchegues, Andegneylas, and Uripa. If those; letters reach you, you will be in possession of most of the particulars of the movements of our army op to the end of last month, and of the error we committed, after the affair of Junin, by not, rapidly following up the enemy, and destroying Canteraes force before Valdes could have joined him from Potosi. You will also learn of our retrograde movement from Lumbrama to 1,11 ipa, and of the confusion and sudden change of the pro spects of our hope. which the offensive operations of the Royalists crew ed amongst us, by the advance on Guamanga. As soon as the Viceroy ascertained that we had not commenced a Santa Cruz retreat, and knew our position, feat ing that we might direct our course to Cusco, he counter-marched from the vicinity of Gua m-nga toward AnJegueylas, and both armies met at the bridge if Begucos, as I stated in my last. La Seen* thought to entrap us in the valley of Pornocochas, for which purpose he moved a few leagues to his right, that we might descend the queltra4a where he. intended to attack us, but, luckily, be could not effect his purpose. We arrived at Malan (slat leaves frees Uripa) before the enemy, and offeredlint battle on egad term; but La di tagennbed to play the sure game. and cow/Awed • he could withwat risking a general action, declined attaching as, sod matimiod his advance, outflanking our right, or rather left, whets istreating. We pursued our retrograde movement ou the 34, aided that nelrenelle big were attacked, under very disadvantageons drountetal3ColswWlit defiling down a pseOrada, two leagues to the northward Of Malan. We lost in this affair the general depot, oar lead piece*, nearly all the baggage of the army, and about 500 killed, wounded, and miss ing, whilst the casualties of the Royalists did not exceed. 30. This blow naturally created a damp upon the spirits of our troops, and what still Increased our uneasiness was certain informa tion reecived, that La Serna did not bring with him less than 10,000 effective troops. We continued to fall back on this plain, the enemy always: on our left flank, and takhig daily many prisoners, and much baggage. Battle was again offered him in Canino, but he a *coot time declined it. Our situation became more desperate every day ; the Peruvians had begun to desert; and our cavalry tired and dis gusted at being obliged to walk on foot, having lost tbeir horses.— The mules, de essarcko, bad all been lost, or taken by the enemy, and Dot a horse-shoe or nail were to be had for love or suusey. Our army being arrived at this place, the enemy placed himself in Gua mancuilla, two leagues to the northward, and thus completely cut off our further retreat, even were we in a state to continue it. The aspect of our affairs became gloomy in the extreme. We could not have existed sir days in this position, for want of pros Wont; and either to have moved on the enemy, or to have counter marched onwards Andaguaylas or Guamanga. would have been certain perdition. The enemy were cosfident of our destruction. He had sent strong detachments towards Marco, Mayoe, and other directions, to cut and destroy the bridges and roads, to prevent the escape of a single individual. The Indians of Huesca, Huanca bilica, Churcheros, and neighbouring towns, had all risen against us, and, daily accounts being received of their having assassinated fair stragglers and small detachments, sometimes it was impossible to procure a guide. The morale of oar troops, also, began most perceptibly to relax, and Many deserted to the enemy; disagreeable news was received front the coast, as well as that 1,500 Royalists were on their march from C%1301, to reinforce La Serve. In fact, everythieig indicated our ruin; neither was it likely that generalship would save us. Under these critical circumstances, the Royalists, flushed with their superiority, attacked us, certain of success. Oar pea dos was a plain of about two miles' circumference, and incur rear, a gradual descent to a vast ostrinek. La Sena and Camerae, with two divi. Soul. advanced in our front, descending the bit, whilst Vaides,with two squadmne and tour battalions, attacked weskit ! The lloyalhas were attacked on all sides, nearly at the same d6Meat, In the most gallaut ntanner, and greatest possible order, and after one boar twenty minutes hard, very hard, fighting. were completely roe the Viceroy -wounded and taken prisoner.

Ton pieta of artillery were taken from the enemy during the action. We had lint one miserable four-pounder to return their fire. Our cavalry behaved nobly— .that of Colombia advanced in the intervals formed by our columns of infantry on the right, and that of Peru charged, and routed two battalions of Valdes van, which had reached the plain no which we had turned, and actually began to flank our right. All, and every body, behaved well. General Cordoba, a youth of twenty-five, with his division, stood the brunt, and indeed, it may be said, decided the action. Ile was most justly made a General of Divbion err the Add of battle. I charged at the bead of the Hussars of Junin, and no. pulsed Valdez, who at first bad driven back our infantry. The Hussars advanced in the most gallant manner, and their goodies. duct has drawn forth unlimited praise from t hei General-in-thief, and the whole army. The enemy brought into the field 7,200 infantry, and 1,300 ea. valry, whilst our disposable force only amounted to 5,627, including 1,000 cavalry. Since leaving Andegueylas our effective force ions decreased 1,510 men- The Royalist Army was compood of ex cellent men, well clothed, indwell equipped ; their morale. far from being bad, ens the reverse ; and General Valdez has assured me there were only IMO recruits.

PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. h.- . t.... SIERRA LEONE. Mr. WILMOT-HORTON adverting to the state of the House, suggested to the Honourable Member for Aberdeen the propriety of postponing his motion on the important subject of Sierra Leone. It would be better for him to move for the papers, and make any statement upon the subject when the House should be in possession of them.— Otherwise any statement must be imperfect. Mr. HUME said, be could not, therefore, put the ma lion off unless an' early day were ensured him upon which he might be secure of a boring. After some farther conversation, Friday, the 424 last. was ap pointed for the motion. ' Mr. & RICE moved for certain Papers connected with the duties of Grand Juries in Ireland.—Oniered.
