t ~ .~: t.~ S =J Y.. t.G~ k the smolt took place three years after the Petition had been presented. In one ?of his letters Ise spoke of pull.. ing the ring by the nose out of a well. Could this man 'be looked up►n as a person of perfectly wine min IT Had it ever reached his Hon. Friend's ear, that he spoke of having determined to make an assault - upon some public character as there was no other way by which he Could make himself' conspicuous t If this was re4lly the fact it was the• most diabolical thought that could enter into the mind to attack an innocent man merely for the purpose of being spoken of in the newspapets. Mr. Mule, the Solicitor to the Treasury, assured him that it was not his wish to get out of prison. lit some low scurrilous publications of the day, this individual was represented as a Gentleman, and he (Mr. B.) was actually cha►ged with want of rersonal courage fur not fighting him. Such was really the case; and some of these things were written by Clergymen of the Church of England, who for their own base purposes did not hesitate to convey in verse, which they had a knack of writing, the most si e calumny and falsehood, hoping merely to please the Government. But the present Government at least would not, he was serum, confer apron such contemptible miscreants any of the good things of the Church—but take good care that none of them should' rise beyond their present degraded state. if his Hon. Friend (Mr. Hume) believed him to be sane, why did he not become one of his sureties, and get - another friend to join him? Perhaps his Hon. Friend feared he might become the first object of attack, and then be told s. Let the dead bury their dead." Mr. GURNRY observed, ;bat from the statement of his Hon. aitd Learned Friend,'no person in his proper seises would become surety for this unfortunate man. Mr. PERCEVA L said that the Member for Montrose and ano ther bad (Semi to become ball for this man, hut he would not •tome out of prison oaten a commission were appointed to ewer taro whether be was a lunatic or not?, If he did not comply with what the law required, he must be content to suffer inconvenience. The Member for Montrose would act more kintily towards him by not presenting his Petitions. If be should find that he had nu means of coming before the public, be might then be content to give hall and get out of prison. Lord PAL M LS MON said, if be refused to come out when be could procure bail, the fact of remaining in prison under such cir cumstances would seem to indicate that be was not fit to be at large. Mr. H UM R said be made no allusion to his Hon. and Learned Friend (Mr. Brougham) in presenting this Petition. As far as be could judge from the writings of Mr. Gourlay, for be bad not seen bim lately, there were many persons more mad dims he was. Mr. BROUGHAM said he hoped Ms Hon. Friend would make further enquiry before he became one of his sureties. Ile should be very sorry it the Learned'Judge to whom he before alluded suf tered any injury In consequence ut his liberation.

Friend, the President of the Board of Controul (Mr. Wynn) to a most important subject. What he al luded to was a judgment recently reversed„which involved property to the amount of no less than 90,0001. a year. It the law really was as It had been decided in this case, and if the bast India Company persisted in ntrintaining the rights upon which this most wonderful decree was founded, he trusted some remedy could be speedily applitd. The decree proceeded upon tire principle that the Company had a right to take possession of landed property in any part of the territories of India that might have formerly belonged to a native Prince, and subsequently fallen under their sovereignty, and that, when so taken possession of, no relief coats, be afforded, except by Parliament. This decree was made without ■ moment's deliberation. Mr. W. WY NN said that not having been present during the argument before the Council. It was nut to be expected that he was Is such complete possession of it is his lion. and Learned Frivtid who heard ir. Having been decided, however, by the highest Court of Appeal in such cases, he mutt consider it to be the kw, and was unwilling to enter hatit any discussion upon it in that House.

In the House of Commons, the subject of th- charge against Lord C. Sommer, was brought up by Lord E. Stammer, who, in announcing the resignation of his Noble Relative, declared that the Gallant General was most anxious to meet any inquiry that could, by possibility, be instituted in regard cu his conduct. Mr. Wm= HORTON, feeling himself called upon by an AMA= made to him, did not hesitate unequivocally to say, indeed hr felt it his duty to declare, that the Government held Lutd CHA It LIS Soaseassr to be fully acquitted of all the charges alleged against him, at any time, or from any quarter. A Brazil Mail arr'ved taus ~,,,, ning with Rio de Ja neiro Paper! to the 20:h April. They present us at last with the Imperial Official Report of the battle in Rio Grande, in which it is di.tinctly admitted, that the Re publican arms were victorious ; and this admission will probably account for its tardy publication. No notice is taken of any further military mcurrences in that, any other quarter; anJ the same silence is maintained with respect to negociations for a peace between the two Powers. The folloing is a copy of the Report : UFVICIAL. Riu Grande de S. Petro de Sul. Stx—On the 20th of this month I met with the enemy near the P.llllO de Rosario, about six in the morning, and the firing imme diately commenced. Major. General the Karoo de Serro Largo led the van with a brigade of s6U men, chosen by himself; and, according to his own ezpresdun, all were disposed to push forward. But Instead of pushing forward, or making the smallest resistance to the four squadrons of the enemy, they led without firing a shot or dewing a sword, and in such confusion that they caused some dhoirdet in the Sth Regiment, which was to support them, and would have broksn the I,:th and IMb Battalions, had not.. there latter fired upon thrnt. Some of them shut and Jailed the Major-General. This disorder exposing the division of Brigadier -G I Calado to be taken ' in lank obliged him to endeavour to repulse, as he did, the repeated attacks of the enemy on that side; but this hindered him from co operating wish the first division, where victory twice declared hi our favour, but where be bad the grief to see the 44th Regiment give way ; while the enemy, by their superior numbers, were able mot only to send reinforcements to all the points attacked, but able to detach squadrons, which turned our right and left links. The Lucre, of the Uruguay (Guarani.) also behaved ill, falling on our baggage, which they plundered.—Under these circumstances, with troops fatigued by six hours cognitiond firing, and the enemy preparing to surround us, I was obliged to retreat, though we bid till then been successful in all the attacks we made, and in repulsing those of the moron!. The five battalions performed prodigies of valour, and to them we were ind:hted for the respectable attitude which the army was able to preserve in the retreat : I lost only one cannon, and 242 men killed and woun•led. The number of the dispersed is greater, but I left squadrons of cavalry to collect them, and they were already beginning to join us. The cavalry being badly mounted, and the infantry eteessively fatigued, I seek some leap ex posed point, where I may receive the indispensable supplies of shoes, cloaks, ammunition, and horses. As fur myself I preferred the Paseo de Lourens s on the .hicui ; most of the officers thought St. Setae preferable fur the support of the men and the horses, but all judged that we must occupy the Passo de St. Loarenco as soon as the enemy . advanced. Now the enemy being only four Segues distant, and u the passage of the Rio Jaeui will take us one or two days, it would be manifestly injudicious to remain at St. Srpti. If I receive In time the supplies that I need, 1 hope for final success. I must not pass over the brilliant conduct during the action of the regiments of Cavalry or Lunareco, ann toe win, ae wen as us part of toe ortgaue or Cos Bente GMIZAIYCS. In the melt account your Excellency will find the number of the killed, wounded, and prisurers. In another dis- patch I shall mention theOlkers who most distinguished themselves, far though we were forced to abandon the field of battle, the heroes who so much distinguished themselves during it hours asinine, 24 hours marching, and 48 without tasting food, are, in my opiniui!, as worthy of the favours of his Majesty, as much as if their exertions had gained the victory. (Signed) Marquis de BARBACENA. To his Excellency the Conde 'ATM. Vacacuhy, Feb. 25. 1827. The Liu of the Killed, Wounded, and Prisoners, gives 19 Offi cers and 157 privates killed, including 1 Majnr•Generai, 2 Xlajnrs, and 4 Captain :- 21 Officers aud 71 privates wounded—and 5 Offi cers and 67 privates taken prisoners. Since writing the above we have received another file of Rio Papers to the 25th, being five days later than the former. A Paper of the 21st contains the copy of an oEcial dispatch, dated Cidade de Desterro, 31st March, from tke Commander of the Province of St. Cathetine, announcing that General ALVEAR with the fluent), Ayrean Army, had evacuated the Province of St. Pedro de Sul, and passed to the other side of the Rio Fignarimho. As the latter had thus, without any rapparent netess4y, eVittiated the nraelian tertitory with the exception of the contested Cisplat:ne provi-ce. the movement seemsso countenance the teport, that a patification war on the tapis. The Diario of the 24th announces the approaching asembly of the Chambers. There is no other news in these Papers. We also received this morning the Austria* Observe► to the 19th, arid the Algen►eine &Mix: to the 2SJ inst. The contents of the lam r do not possess the slightest claim to interest ; and the Observer merely contains a report from General CHURCH, extracted from the Greek Universal Gaulle of the Ist May, relative to the taking of the Mnna,tery of St. Spiridion, and the sub.equen• massacre of the Turkish garrison. According to tkis report a hundred and thirty acre killed, and abc ut an equal ~umber saved by the exertions of Generals Borzant and NIKITA, the former commanding the &arts, the latter the Cretans, and both having perished a fear days later bef Its. Gr. eral CHURCH speaks with deep sorrow and indignation of this affair, which he adds, excited corresponding feelings throughout the army in general. The Editor of the Greek Gazette also expresses himself strongly to the same eff.ct, and says that ie is some consolation to know, that it was the Crime of a few, ati,ing from a momenta►y impulse. lie then adds that the perpetra tors will doubtless meet the punishment they deserve. A Russian Messenger linded yesterday at Dover, with dispatches for the Russian Ambassador. No news from the Brazils. All quirt at Itio. THE AR MY.
