COMIIIITTIE OF PRIVILCOIS-THE DE USIA PIM AGL Lord RrDISDALR said that he had minutely inquired into all the circumstances connected with this title, and paid great attention to the arguments and evidence ad vanced on behalf of the claimant, yet he could discover nothing which should induce him to concur in establish ing the claim. There was one fact that operated very strongly against it—that was, that from the death of Warren de Lisle, in the 6th year of Richard 11. until the 21 st of Henry VI. a period of fifty years, the title lay dormant, without any claim having been made to it.— In answer to this it had been said, that the descendants of Warren de Lisle had been females who had married into noble families, who having in their own rights seat; in their Lordships' House, were not anxious to establish a claim which could not advance their dignity; but in those days, when precedence had been so much looked np to, it was not likely that any Baron would neglect to claim a•title so ancient as the one_ in question, if he considered he had a right to it. In the 21 ,t year of the reign of Henry VI. a patent of a vtry extraordinary de scription had been gramei to John Talhnt ; it, stated that Warren de Lisle had died, leavin,► issne an only daughter, Margaret, who had married Thomas de Bar• clay, by whom she had issue three d.tughters, two of whom having died without issue, the other had married John Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury, ho had issue one son, named John, who held the manor of Kingston de Lisle; " and that whereas it appeared that his ancestors through whom he inherited the said manor, had from time immemorial the name and dignity of De Lisle, it is our will that the same be now granted to John Tal bot, his heirs and assigns, holders of the said manor.* He (Lord Redesdale) maintained that the Crown must have been misled on that occasion : this he would make appear by the evidence of the present claimant, which went to prove that none of his ancestors but Warren and Gerard de Lisle had ever been summoned to sit in the House. As that dignity had been granted to the holders of the Manor of Kingston de Lisle, the present claimant could have no title whatever to it. The present holder of the manor laid no claim to it, foi their Lordships would not allow a dignity to be assigned. Then the question was, could he establish his claim to the ancient title: whether or not in the reign of Richard 11. a sum mons and consequent sitting created an inheritable dignity, was a matter involved in much mystery. In the reign of Henry VI. the question, whether a sum mons and a sitting created a peerage in fee? had been submitted to the opinion of the Judges, who returned an answer in the affirmative without assigning any reasons ; so that it remained as yet undetermined whe ther or not it had this effect at an earlier period. In his opinion it would be useless to enter into the merits of the present claim, until their Lordships would come to a decision on that question, for if they should determine in the negative, it would prove fatal to the claim. The Loan CLIAMCSLLOR concurred its the general con clusions of the Noble Lord. Without meaning to give any opinion on the subject before the House, he would say that their Lordships ought to appoint some active in elligent person, who would examine into claims of the present nature. This was at present committed to he Attorney• General, who was content with examining the documents produced by the ponies, and to decide thereon, without enquiring whether more satisfactory evidence could be produced. He did not mean to say, that the claimant had withheld any material evidence on this occasion ; on the contrary, be had acted with much candour, in giving up some documents which were calculated to operate against him, and which could not be otherwise obtained. He agreed with the Noble Earl, that the question as to whether a writ created a barony in fee, in the reign of Richard 11. should be de cided before they would come to a conclusion on the present claim. He therefore moved that the further consideration be adjourned to Monday next. This being agreed to, the Committee adjourned. The further consideration of the case of Fletcher and Lord Sondes has been adjourned until the neersession. The Loan CMANCILLOR gave judgment In the case of Sir James Duff e. the liar! of Fife, atarmine the judgment Wy. MAY 22. It was resolved, In a Committee of Privileges, that the Earl of Ilowvir and the Marquis of WA :saran' had made out their claims to vote for Representative Peers for Ireland. Tire claims of Lords VIKULAM and kluostristo were adjourned till Thursday next. Lord Itroassuan, in alluding to the De LWe claim of Peerage, said that under all the circumstances, he was of opinion that the claim ought not to be allowed, as tt did not appear that a writ, and consequent sitting, created a Peerage in fee, in the Reign of Richard the Second.—Further consideration was ad journed to Thursday. Lord ItEDESDALE took a brief view of the circumstances connected with the Annandale Peerage claim, and said that before their Lordships should come to a decision, they ought to have evi dence bolero them, that the descendants of those whose title was superior to that of the present claimant were extinct ; and for that purpose he moved an adjournment of the case to Thursday. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment in the cue of Ogil vie la Dundas,reverslog the Decree of the Court of Sessions • as also in the case of Darcy e. Kelly, alliguslog the Decree of the Court of Chancery in Ireland. The Earl of DERBY presented Petitions from Suttons, in Ash. Bald, Broad Windsor, and Leighton Buzzard, against the continua. tion of Negro Slave Laid on the table. The Earl of MOUNTFORT presented a Petition from the Town and County of Wexford, against any alteration in the Circu lating Medium in Ireland. Lord ELLENBOROUGH rose to move the second reading of the Debtors and Creditors' an, as he understood that no other Noble Peer intended to nuke the motion, and he did not think that a Bill of that hnportanet should be allowed to drop in their Lord ships' House without some objections being stated against it. The LORD CHANCELLOR was friendly to the principle of the Bill, but thought that its details requited too many change; and corrections to be carried into effect at the present advanced period of the &Won. Lord ELLENBOROUGH said that it would be best to let the Bill stand over till the nest Session, and to bring it in amended in its details. The LORD CHANCELLOR, in that ease, would have no ob jection to give Ills assistance to amending it. Lord ELLENBOROUGH then withdrew his motion for the wend reading of the Bill, which was consequently lot for the present Sadao. The Earl of MALMESBURY moved for Returns of the quan tity of Corn and Meal imported into this country, and not ware housed, up to the 24 of May. Viscount MELVILLE bad no objection to the motion, and stated that be hoped the Returns would be en their Lordships' table to-morrow. Lord ELLRNBOROUG II *idled that a Noble Peer opposite (Lord Bexley) ouukl give him some general idea of the meaolog of the word w proportion," as used in the last clause of the Bonded Corn Bill, as at present it appeared to him unintelligible. Lord BEXLEY declined giving an answer. Lord ELLE NBOROUGH thought that the dame might be an Important one, and conceived that a Message should be sent to the Commons, to know what it meant. The Earl of . LAUDERDALE said, that it was the half of a ' clause to be found in a former 13111, and that the other half was pro. bably wanted, to give it meaning. Earl DARNLEY suggested the propriety of moving that the Order of the Day for the second reading of the BW to-morrow be discharged, and fixed for Friday next, that the Comas might be consulted; of they would meet on that day. Lord EL LEN BO ROU G H adopted the suggestion, and made a models to that effect. Viscount MELVILLE opposed the motion, as the obscurity complained a might be removed in the Committee, or the clause might be left out. The Earl of LAUDERDALE, imperfectly as be understood the clause, still comprehended eno'igh to -,ee that it interfered wiih the duty, and could not be altered or omitted, without prosiing Eli.d to the Bill. Viscount MELVILLB observed, that all the Noble Lnrd could doby his motion was to discharge the Order by which the Peers were summoned for to-morrow, and to fix it fee next Friday. He could not prevent his Noble Friend (the Earl of Liverpool) from moving the second reading of the Bill to iseciaw, is pursuance to his notice. The Earl of MA LMRSBURY had envied to support the 13111, on the condition •that Bonded Corn would be admitted its instalments, as it had been done last year. Now, the clause al luded to threw's° mu c h o b sc urity on the subject th at he could not ascertain whether the promised condition had been fulfilled. Under these circumstances, be would merely say th a t if th e Bill did not admit Bonded Cor n by initalments, he should oppose it, and that if it did, it should have his support. After a few words from the Karl of Limitaicc, the Lord Casas. cauma. and Earl Gacievisoo, Lord ELLENBUROUGH withdrew hi, motion.—Adjourned THE FALL OF MISSOLONGHL FROM TIM !TOILE. ANCONA, MAT 8. What melancholy and afilicting news ! I bear, on my arrival at Ancona, that Missolonghi no longer exists! I am overwhelmed, annihilated ! I arrive full of hope, and find all is over. The population of heroes is no more. The following are the particulars —too positive facts—which I have been able to collect : On the 15th April the Greek fleet had an engagement with the Turkish squadron. The combat was terrible; the Greeks had the advantage, yet it was not so deci- sive as to enable them entirely to drive away the Turks and throw provisions into Missolonghi. Miaulis, there. fore, waited for fresh divisions to renew the combat. Ibrahim, wearied out by so many fruitless attacks, in which he had sustained so many severe losses, directed all his attention to prevent the arrival of supplies but in small vessels from Zutte. On the 16th all the communications were cut off by means of rafts, and flat bottomed boats arrived with heavy artillery. Min that time the provisions which were at Petal* and Porto Soro could not arrive ; the be sieged, who maintqiyed themselves only by means of the the w e plies vrhicho'hey daily received, b egan to b e i n deplorable situation. - On the 17th and 18th set i women, children, and old men, died of hunger. On the 19th the evil increased. Notwithstanding the horrors of this situation, nobady thought of surrendering, all still placed their hopes on the fleet, but every one prepared to sacrifice his life. Several parts of the town were selected to receive the women, the children, and the aged, and every prep rrarion was made to blow up the place. • On the 21bt and 22d prayers were performed, several parts of the town were underrnin d, and the in habitants determined that all tsose who should not be able to make a sally, as well as the wounded, the wo men, and children, should bury themselves by springing the mines. On the 21st and 22d, Miaulis again attacked the Turkish fleet; but what could a number of little vessels do against six ships hi the line, eight or ten frigates, and ninety other vessels, which had the advan tage of the wind? All their efforts were u eless, it was impossible to get a vessel laden with provisions into the town, and the Greek fleet in vain lost its best vessels, ex posed to the fire of the large Turkish men of war. The unfoitunate besieged, seeing their last hope vanish, thought only of executing their heroic. project. Every thing was prepared for the great sacrifice ; the women and children were placed over the mines; tome of the most intrepid old men promised to set fire to the mines the moment the signal should be given ; the men who were still able to carry arms resolved to make a sally to force their way through Ibrahim's army, to join their brethren, and revenge, if possible, the women and children whom they abandoned to death. About 2,000 attempted to execute this design ; ISO or 140 men re mained in the town, and retired into a house, which they convened into a fortress. Oa the 29d, in the evening, their departure took place, and at the same moment the frightful volcano blew up, and the population was now reduced to 6,000 souls. The Turks, who knew the project of the unhappy besieged, made a very great resistance to the sally of the Greeks. A d►eadful carnage took place, and at least one half of this sacred battalion perished. It is hoped, however, that about 700 or 800 may have gained the mountains. 0.1 t!,e following day, the heroic town and its inhabitants no longer exited. The Turks, on enter ing the town, found only ruin and dead bodies. How ever, the ISO men who hid fortified themselves in the house, defended themselves the whole day, making a great carnage of the Egyptians. At length, exhausted by fatigue and want of food, they blew themselves up s at the moment when the Turks were going to take them. Almost every week (and, since the sth of April, every day) English vessels entered Missolonghi. Sir F. Adam before his departure for . London, had interposed be. tween the town and Ibrahim, and exerted all his efforts, as a private individual, to bring about a capitulation. The inhabitants of Missolonghi had consented to leave the town with their arms, baggage, &c. and with drums beating. Ibrahim refused; he promised that property should be respected, and their lives spared, but be in sisted that the whole garrison should be prisoners of war. Our heroes indignantly refused, and declared they would blow themselves up. The English seeing that Missolonghi was not tenable, and that it was im possible for the Greek fleet to throw in supplies, made the greatest eff•trts to induce Missolonghi to surrender, but all was in vain.
