It will be seen in our accounts-from Dublin, hat the Catholic Board hart:passed a Resolutietri 14 ter ap ply to the Spanish Cortes,*edting their Mediation vith the British GOvernniedt on hehaltof the &tho les of Ireland." We are grieied at the "circumstance. Ve are sincere friends to Religious Libeity, and we ope . to see the day when every religious, or father irreligious, disability, -will be removed, aad every loyal subject enjoy his full civil rights ; but such a proceeding as this is calculated to strengthen the pre. judices of thote who dread, or affect to dread, the in terference of foreign influence in the affairs of the British Empire. The reference to precedents is folly in the extreme. There is no species of political injustice or insanity for which precedents may not be produced : and if precedents are to be admitted for arguments, and common sense, and justice, Catholics must be for ever excluded from the exercise of the rights of free citizens in any Protestant country; for in France while the BOURBONS held the Sovereignty, all who did not belong to the Gallican Church, were by law excluded from. following even the common handicraft professions. Is such nonsense to be encouraged in the nineteenth century as appeals to precedents ! Can any precedent be produced older than common cense and the dictates of eternal justice ? From the justice 'cif England—froin theii Own loyalty and good sense—and from'well-tempered perseverance, the Ca: tholics have more to hope• than froM any precedents drawn from or' engendered by the ignorance of .the dark ages. Though grieved at' Ore event that has occurred, - we are dot surprised at.it when we see what kind of men were the Movers and supporters of ,the Resolu tion ;—Lawyers I men brought up in the trammeli. oftrecedesis ! Mean nothing disrespectful to the profession ; for he would be a sorry advocate, who was not acquainted with the history of his own call ing : but we would remind them, that Legislation and Law are as distinct from each . other as the digging 0 . ore and the expel:Aare of money—as different as any two things that are not identically the same. • • The Duke of Yonx has discontinued his Levees on Friday during the Parliamentary recess.

PASSES or THE PYRENEES.--It is universally known, says Mr. Botutcotwo, that there are three roads lead ing from France into Spain ; one from St. Jean-de.- Luz to Irun ; another from St. Jean-de. Port to Roncevalles ; the third from• Bayonne to Jonquiere. —But it is far from being so generally known (and is, indeed, what I was myself unacquainted with till 1195, when I was informed by an ingenious geographer, who had examined With minuteness, and actually delineated the different passes or defiles uf the Pyrenees), that from the pass of Bagnouls, which is the nearest to the Mediterranean, to the valley of Aran, near the sources of the Garonne, these are no less than 75 pesses over• the• Pyrenees, 28 of which are practieable for cavalry, and seven for carriages and artillery. One of these last, on the existence of which it is impossibie_to entertain a doubt, is the Col des Orts, in a parallel line with that 4 Perthus, on the other side of Bellegarde,' as by 'ttlis route the Span;ards, in 1792, entered St. Laurent de Cerda, and thence invaded two of our provinces.

THE ARMY. ~~ Friday sennight, the first division of the Dorset regiment arrived in Limerick garrison, to do duty. They occupy the new barracks. • Spore day, the first division of the Edinburgh Mi litia, arrived in Limerick from Cork, on a route to Armagh. • Same day, one troop of the lit King's Dragoon Gourds also issued through Limerick, on a route from Dublin to Mallow. Same day a detachment of the Suffolk militia march ed into Newry from Armagh, to do duty until the arrival of the regiment intended for that garrison, which we understand is the East Middlesex, 1200 strong, commanded by Colonel Woon. Wednesday sionnight, the Royal Lanark Militia, quarteredat Newry for some weeks, received a route to march thence for Dublin. Monday the Surrey Local Militia, commanded by , Sir JOSZPii MAwlik:v, having performed their period of duty, were diabandeil and sent to their respective homes ; previously to which they were inspected on Putney Common by Major General BAILEY, who was pleased to express his approbation at their steady ap• pearance under arms. The orderly and *regular con- ' duct of the Regiment, during its embodyment which mustered nearly 800 strong) is the best earnest of what may be expected from it, should any sudden or unforeseen emergency require its being called out again. If, indeed, in the present situation of the country, any change or extension of our Military System should be deemed advisable, these Provin cial Corps will be found highly useful. By the ex pedience of their establishment, much credit is re fleeted on the person who projected a measure so ju. dicious. It has created a disposable force, while its has infused a Martial Spirit throughout th e kingdom, unknown to it before. The Local, from acquiring a taste for soldierly habits, are anxious to be transplan ted into the Regular Militia, and these again are im patient to be transferred to the Line. Thus the ca sualities of the service are rapidly supplied by a con stant succession of disciplined-troops, which now in titles us, most justly, to the name of—" an Armed Nation." _ At a Court Martial lately held at Trinidad, As sistaut-Surgeon J.C.JACKSON, of the West India Ran gers; was arraigned u For embezzling certain articles of hospital provisions, such as fresh beef, coffee, milk, eggs, &c. supplied to the sick, and continuing in the practice of so defrauding the men in hospital, and the public, for a period of some months ;" of which the Court found him guilty, and sentenced him to be di:- misied his Majesty's service; whiCh has been con firmed. • • At ' k General Court-Martial, held at St. Helier Jersey, on the 31st of March, 1819, and continued, by adjournments to the 2d of April Wowing, Ensign A. Blood, of the 2d battalion, 18th (or Irish Royals) regiment of foot, was arraigned upon the undermen tioned tharges, viz.-Ist. For violent and outrageous behaviour, extremely disgraceful to the character of an Cifficer and a Gentleman, in wrestling with, strik ing repeatedly, and kicking at, Ensign M'Caul,- and tearing the clothes and appointments of Lieutenant Maunsel and Ensign Uniacke, whn were endeavour ing to pacify or separate him from Ensign M'Caul, and making use of vulgar and unbecoming language in the Officers' Mess-room, at the Pier Barracks, Jersey, on the 17th of March, 1813, in presence of Officers of different corps.-2d. For further outrage ous and highly insubordinate conduct in the same evening, in returning to the Mess-room, after he had been turned out of it, and there deliberately chal lenging Lieutenant-Colonel Smith, the senior Officer present, who had previously ordered him into close attest, for his improper behaviour. Additional charge—Fer breaking his arrest on or about the 19th instant, and walking abbot publicly in coloured clo4s at that time.—The Court found the prisoner guilty of the first charge, and of part of the second, but acquitted him of the additional charge. He was adjudged to be cashiered, which has been confirmed. FMCS OF STOCKS THIS DAT AT TWELVE O'CLOCC • Red.

She refused the premium, bat sent Sir Henry Cobham to intercede for the supplicants, which it is stated this Monarch took its good part. Mr. O'Goaitaa, secondly, referred to Robertson, who records another instance of interference in Eliza beth, on behalf of the subjects of Foreign Pirnees. It seas that in which she solicited for the enier g of anon, the Scotch Regent, and bead Of the Protestant party in Scotland, who was imprisoned by the Court. 311 y. Reference was made to Watson's Philip, where it is testified that Elisabeth frequently inter. feed with the Government of Scotland, at the imamate of the Reformers, and in support of the Protestant 4= • and also, that without her aid the Protestants of — France must have been extirpated. 4thly, He had recourse to the instant:sof Thomas Wilkes, Clerk of the Council, being dispatched co Madrid oa the arrival of an Ambassador from the Dutch, as stated ia Watson's Phillip, to moat a redress of griersaces, and a change of a Governor, as the means which could alone secure the allegiance of the Dutch, and prevent them from throwing thew selves in despair into the hands of another Powei: &M y, To the instance in which the States-Glee ral addressed a memorial to Clinics TL when he wits about to dissolve his Parliament, requesting of him, at the auggestion of a deputation from England, not to put 64 intentions in execution. 6thly, To that in which the Spanish Court, tit the year 1793, nude an overture, at the request of the French Princes and Emigrants, to the National As sembly of France, to spare the life of Louis* the Silo teenth. 7thly, To that in which, about the year 1697, the Catholics of Ireland solicited the intercessiod of Charles the Second of Spain, and Leopold the Fourth of Austria, who were then allies of Great BritAin: tidily.

Mr. Betz and Mr. HoftwE followed, on the same side, against the validity of •this bond, obtained by undue advantage taken of the plaintiff, a poor Cler gyman with a wife, reduced to the necesbity of b. coming an assistant to Dr. Raine, at a salary of MO , a-year, in which state he continued till the promotion of Mr. Woolling, the usher, whom he succeeded. Sir S. ROMILLY in reply, observed, that Mr.*Ster art, who complained of the want of consideration for the bond, had obtained No. 15, in the same suture, at a moderate annuity, free of'rent, repairs, or taxes, with liberty to alienate No. 13, giving to Dr. Rainy, or his representative, half the purchast-money, which in the whole was £3OOO, a moiety of which he sow refuses to - pay, after having - received, under his sub contract with• Mr. Watkinson, the present occupant, not two guineas, as he had paid for each harder to Dr. Raine s but six guineas and a halt for each pupil under the number of 40, and above that number seven guineas and a half each. The Loan CHANCELLOR, having attended as one of the Governors, at the two first meetings on this sub ject, but not on the third, when the appointments were passed, well recollected the case, and assisted the defendant's Counsel with information thereon ; observing, that he supposed Mr. Stewart to be pro moted and now done with the Charter-house ; and was answered in the affirMative, by promotion to a high church living.
