The House met at ten o'clock, and Mr.l.EAcn, Sir S. Ro vattty, and Mr. .1 HOSISON, were heard in the appeal case of M'Adam and MiAdam. This is a very important case with a view to the Scottish law of marriage. Mr. M`Adam, a gentleman of very large fortune in Ayrshire, kept a mistress in his house for some years, and bad children by her. Oile morning be called the servants into the room where he and his kept mistress were at breakfast, and taking her by the hand, declared in their presence that she was his wile. '1 he same day lie shot himself. The question is, whe ther this is a valid marriage, and consequently the children legi timate ? Upo.a the decision of this question depends the stances liioD to a real estate of XIO,OOO per annum. It was observed hty one of the Judges below, that it this should be decided to be a valid marriage, tl,e poor Gretna-green Blacksmith would be ruined, as the English couples would only have to pass the bor ders, and marry themssives without his assistance.

WYN NE moved fur a Return of the Fees paid the Mes senger of the Great Seal fur the conveyance of Election Writs, since 1801.—Granted. Sir GEORGE CLERK, In moving the Committee on the Mail Coach Bill, said it was his intention to move, that Mail Coaches in Scotland should be exempt from toll, and that there should be a compensation of one halfpenny on every letter. Mr. WYNNE objected that some regulations had not been adopted with respect to Wales, 'for want of which the roads would soon be impassable in that counuy. Ihe Bill then went through the Committee. Report to morrow. A Message from the Lords, brought up their assent to the Exchequer Billa Funding Bill, with an amendment in the title, which, being merely the c,prrection of a clerical error, was agreed to. The Bill for raising £2,000,000, by way of annuities, for Ire• land, was brought up, read a first, and ordered to be read a se cond time to-morrow : as was the Irish Drawback Continuance Bill. The Irifh Tax Bill was read a first time ; and on the question that it be read a second time to-morrow, Sir J. NEWPORT objected to it: he complained of the pro ceding which had taken place respecting the Irish Malt Bill, which had been read a second time this eveaing before 5 o'clock, though he had given notice he should oppose it in every stage.— He thought in common courtesy, they should wait till S o'clock under such circumstances. Mr. W. FITZGERALD agreed, therefore, that the second reading of theAssessedTaxes Bill should be postponed till Friday. Sir J. NEWPORT said, that le his objection to the Malt Bill was to the principle, he should oppose the Speaker's leaving the Chair, when it came to the Committee. Mr. BUTTERWORTH brought up a Petition in favour of propagating the Gospel in India. Ordered to lie on the table. The Shoreditch•Poor Bill was lead a third time, on the motion of Mr. MELLISH, and passed. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave notice, that he should tomorrow move in Committee, that Sugar should 'be imported from St. Eustatia, Mariegalante, and St. Martin, fpr home consumption, as from Martinique and Guadalappe. Mr. O'HARA said, as he had been the pe:son who had mov ed the instructions to the Irish Finance Committee, who bad given answers not at all satisfactory, he was the properest man to move, that the Report be taken into further consideration.— ' He spoke for some time, but in a tone almost inaudible. He con eluded by moving, that de report be committed. Mr. W.FITZGERALD, Sir J. NEWPORT, and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, each said a few words against the motion, to which Mr. O'HARA replied very shortly, when the motion was negatived without a division. LEATHER TAR. Mr. BENSON asked the Chancellor of the Exche quer, whether it was his intention to oppose the Bill, after the expression of the sense of the House last night ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, the Hon. Gentleman had no right to put such a question; but he had no objection to answer for his convenience, that he certainly should oppose it, as he did not consider the opinion of last night decisive. ROMAN CATHOLICS. On the motion of Mr. GRATTAN, the House resol ved itself into a Committee on the Roman Catholic Relief Bill. Mr. CA NNING, in bringing up some new clauses which were not read, obsery ed, that in them he had endeavoured to combine and meet the views of most of those whit whom he had communication on this most important subject; and he bad been particularly anxious io avail himself of the suggestions of a Noble Lord (Castlereagh), and he hoped he had been suc cessful. He trusted, that he had now succeeded in arranging effectual securities, not only for the Pro testant, but also fi r Catholic freedom--(hear.) He should not now detain the Committee for the purpose of explaining his clauses, except it was desired; but he would wait, as had been previously arranged, un til the whole had been printed, and had regularly come to the hands of every Member—( Hear, hear.) Mr. PLUNKETT observed, that in the present state of the Bill, he should not occupy much of their time in expressing his complete approbation of all that was now before them ; but if the Committee would pardon him, he would trespass on them for one moment more, as this might be the last opportu nity he should have of addressing them on the pre. ' sent subject, as he was about to absent himself from this part of the kingdom for some time--(hear.) He had paid the greatest attention to the clauses pro posed by the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Canning), as well as to the labour of the Right Hon. Gentle ' man (Mr. Grattan). He was happy to say, that the entire of the clauses, as they now stood, had his most 'cordial approbation— (hear.) More he would not I say on the present occasion, but he was rejoiced to see that the Right Hon. Gentleman had succeeded so well in the accomplishment of the two great objects of the measure—security to the principles and estab lishments of the Protestant, and also to the free exer cise of the opinion of the Catholic, at the same time that he was admitted to participate in the benefits of the Constitution. It was his opinion that those ob jects had been most clearly and satisfactorily accom plished by the Bill in its present state ; that such se curities had been proposed as ought to satisfy even the most jealous of the Protestants, as well as the most inimical amongst the Catholics. In thus briefly stating his cordial approbation of the whole of the clauses, he could not sit down without expressing his hope, though he might not be present in his place to support the Bill, that he might not be useless-in pro. moting,its objects, and in more clearly explaining its 'views, in the country to which he was going (Loud ' cries of Bear, hear.) Lord CASTLEREAGH expressed his concern at the intended departure of the Hon. Member who had just spoke ; but he drew some consolation from that circumstance, as it was to be hoped that he (Mr. Plunkett) would remove those false impressions which had been Made on the minds of SQIIIC men in Ireland respecting the nature of the Bill—(Hear!) Now that he was on his legs, he could not but bear testimony to the success which had attended the Right Hon. Member's (Mr. Canning's) endeavours to meet his (Lord Castlereagh's) views in the clauses which had jiist been presented ; and he hoped, in the course of the progress of the gill, that he should be able to give his cordial support to the Bill ; at present it had his concurrence— (Hear, hear.) Mr. LOCKHART thought, that further time ought to be given for the consideration of the new clauses, as they would not be printed for two or three days, and on'Monclay they were to be discussed. He wished for further time, not only on account of the Members of that House, but also on account of the people of England. He disliked precipitation on a subject of so much importance. Mr. CANNING had no objection to go into a toll eiplanation 'of all his views in proposing the clauses, if the Committee wished him to do so at the resent Foment (No ; ere!) but he head deemed i; to be understood, that nothing should be said this night that could call fgrth any thing like debate, (Hear, hear,) that the clauses should be proposed, pro forma, for the purpose of having them printed, which would be done in twenty-four hours, and therefore he had abstained from any thing like remark or explanation. But at present, he really thought they were not in a state to go•into that explanation (Hear); and as there were only shades of difference between many of the friends of the Bill, imperfect statements might have an injurious effect, and which could only be avoided by waiting till the clauses were printed, and in the hands of every Member. The time occupied by the printing would be very short; but he was ready to give full explanation now, if required.—(No, no!) Lord CASTLEREAGH thought, that on so deli cate a subject, explanation, at the present moment, was very unadvisable ; that it would be much better to wait till the clauses should be printed—chear.) Mr. RYDER differed from his Noble Friend—he thought some,explanation of the clauses ought to be given, before the House came to the discussion of them. They had just received clauses which would not be printed, perhaps, before Saturday—and on Monday they were to be discussed. The subject was one of delicacy—but ought it therefore to be so pre cipitated ?—The clauses might be of great length ; and they ought first to be printed, then to be ex plained after they were in the hands of the Members, and further time ought to be given for the discussion of them. He could not but express his regret at the intended departure of an Hon. Member. opposite (Mr. Plunkett), though, possibly, he (Mr. Ryder), might have reason to dread his talents; yet he could not but regret that the House would not have the benefit of his talents in' the further discussions that might take place on the Bill--:-( Hear, hear). —Though * that Hon. Member had expressed his cordial appro bation of the entire of the clauses, he (Mr. Ryder) still retained the opinion which he had already ex pressed against the principle of the Bill ; and he had little hope that any thing would be adduced which could induce him, in the future opportunities which he should have of expressing his sentiments, of alter ing the opinion which he had already given. Mr. CANNING stated, that the clauses would be ready for every Member long before Saturday— that they would be printed by to-morrow evening at latest ; and therefore the complaints that had been made were not well-founded. Ht, however, could not but express his hope, as well as his firm belief, that the endeavours of the Right Hon. Gentleman to disparage the Bill would be futile, especially as the attempts had been made in a somewhat irregular manner, at a moment when it was understood on all sides that nothing should be said this night that could call forth any thing like debate. The clauses were passed, as having been read a first time, after which the House resumed, when Mr. ABERCROMBIE, the Chairman, obtained leave to sit again on Monday next.—The clauses were order ! ed to be printed.—Adjourned. • THE ROMAN CATHOLIC BILL.

" The consternation in the Confederate Army is mere!. his in proportion to the' extraordinary degree of cootliivrce.hewalis the Russians and Prussians previous to the cata.troph, of .I.eed Not above a fortnight past they talked of no lung less !hail path• ing the French on to the Rhine, and of dictatTg the concluieas 'of peace to them. One great personage even said, that if t!t Emperor Napoleon did not at cept the conditions offered the Confederate Army would enter France, and dictate the ttrro of peace at Paris.—lt appears th..t they were totally igouranzi what was passing in France. They believed that a general to content existed there, and that the Emperor had no longern army. They now speak a very different language. The batie of Lntzen has'dissipated all their hopes, and the future appears .to their eyes in the darkest shades.

Every thing which has relation to the events which are passing in Germany must necessarily excite the greatest interest ; and we shall collect with care, the slightest particulars- which reach us on the subject, and on the truth of which ire can rely. A great number of intercepted letters chew the designs and mistakes of the enemy. We read in one of these let. ters, written after the battle of the 2d ;—" We were told that the French army was only composed sf children, but we never found it more formidable,— the soldiers of this army are like walls, they cannot be shaken ; they told us that it had ro artillery, and never was the French artillery more numerous." It is said in another letter, that the only fear of the Russians and Prussians was, that they should not find an army to combat. Wittgenstein when at Leipcie said, that he would give one of his arms, that the French might :left change their position: but afte the battle the Prussians exclaimed," You were willing to venture every thing upon the game, and you have lost every thing I" A third letter, dated the 4th of May, contains the following particulars:—" On Saturday last, the Ist instant, the Eipperor of Russia and the King of Fru, sia arrived at Borne. General Blucher preceded them, with the hereditary Prince, the Princes Henry, Augustus, and William of Prussia, and Prince Charles of Mecklenburg. The same day and the following night the Russian and Prussian troops filed off to re pair to the field of battle. The corps of Wittgenstein and Blucher were remarked among others. General Wittgenstein marched them from Leipsic to Zerell kau. After the battle, the corps of Blucher, as sell as a part of the Russian army, retreated by Boma. They defiled during the whole day of yesterday, and last night. The cavalry was in confusion. The re giments were mixed one viith the other, except ter) regiments of Russian cuirassiers which covered then. The King of Prussia repassed yesterday by Borna, where he stopped only two hours, and whence he took the road to Altenburg. His son the Prince Royal was not with him. The King was melan. choly and silent. General Blucher arrived at alma after the departure of the King, and passed the night there.
