specified for taking the oaths. , The like OftlissiOn or bro4d assertions *ere made respecting Yelemon's. Act, ' the Union, itf. He contended that the Ail of Union,' 39 and 40 Geoge 111. c... 61, said, as regarded Peers,. . that they should take the oaths and make the ration as then established by law. It abrogated no , laws, except .where that was specifically done; but, on the contrary, enjoined the taking and subscribing of oaths, &c. as previously established. As to the doctrine held to the contrary, it was puerile and ab surd. And as to " Roman Catholics'' being no where mentioned, es was alleged by Mr. Pollock, the SSd Geo. 111: c. 21, was expressly " for the further relief of Papists or Roman Catholics." The Learned Gentlemen then proceeded at some length to show, that by the construction of those Acts a Roman Catholic was ineli. gible to sit, and, being so ineligible, a person declaring himself to be a Roman Catholic, and that being a mat ter of notoriety, he was ineligible to be a candidate, or to be returned, and that therefore his election was, to all intents and purposes, null and void. At the coaclu. sion of his address, the Learned Gentlemad put in the return of the High Shedd', to which were appended a • certificate hoot the office of the Crown and Hanaper in I , eland, id Mr. O'Connell having been sworn in as a Roman Catholic Barrister, also an affidavit of his bar- ing declared himself a Catholic. Mr. Poct.ock objected to those documents being. re ceived with the return, and contended, that the Sheriff had no right to make those additions to his return ; and • that on that ground they could not be received. Nothing could be received as evidence bin the rettrin. In some particular cases the Sheriff might no doubt receive evi (truce ; for instance, in that of a buy Of tender age, and notoriously a minor, he might receive evidence cf the 4act, - and append it to his recur n ; hut in most other cares, and in the piesent, his office war i.uteiy ministerial, and he was bound to make the return, and any addition to it would be irregular on hispart, and could not therefore be admitted as evidence with the return itself. It was rug. gesteJ to him (Mr. Pollock) by his Learned Friend Mr. Alderson, that a Clergyman entering a register of a heparin, and adding in it the age" of the child, the re gister would be legal evidence of the baptism, but the 'eat y of the age could DM be received as evidence of the, age, because the party was authorized only to re gister the fact of the baptism, and not the age. In like -manner an envy or addition to the return, which the Sheriff was not authorized to make, could not be re ceiv-d as evidence of any fact with the return. Mr. HARRIS )11 contended, that the Sheriff was pound tostate, in his return, the special circumstances of any peculiar case, and to add any evidence that he might have received of those circum.tances; and that such addition must be received along with the return. •As TO the ease which pis Learned Friend had cited, the en try Of the Clergyman of the age of the chird could not be legally received, because the Clergyman could not 'know the tact of his own knowledge. - Mr. POLLOCK, in reply, observed, that let the same test be put to the case before the Committee, and it would at once put an end to hi. Learned Friend's argu. meat. How, he asked,could the Sheriff know any thing of the affidavit? It was haaded to him as sworn ; bow could he know that fact, or know that it was true? .iher some further dbesseioa, the room was cleared, and stran gers were excluded for about 110 minutes. On the return of Counsel, they were informed by the Chairman, that the documents appended to the writ might be read—bet that reading was not to be considered as evidence of the truth of their contents. The documents we read by the Clerk, after which colonel Fitzgerald was put into the box, and proved that he had heard Mr.O'Cormell declare at Vie hustings that tpe,fieehoiders had to choose between him and Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald; that Mr. Fitage.ald had sworn, on taking his seat'in Parliament, that their religion ( hat of theCatholicletas impious and idolatrous, and was ready 10 swear it again . sh )uld he be returned ; but that he (Mr. O'Connell) bring a Rumen Cath , lic, would never take any such oath—that.he w. uld sooner die first. `On his closikezamination, Col. Fitsget aid admitte.i that Mr. O'Connell more than once declared that it was not necessary that he, u a Catholic, should take the be would try that question. Mr. Dillon Maenamara gave similar testimony as to the decia rations of Mr. O'Connell of his being a Catholic. .- De. his eross-examination, he nude the sante admissions as to Dlr. O'Connell's assertion. that it would not be necessary for him to take tie oaths previously to his Waft his seat. In answer to another question, as to whether M r. O'Connell 'bad not expressed his detetatinatl na to try the right, witness re plied, that no doubt he bad, but the right could not be tried till the retern was made. This produced a laugh among Mr. O'Coo. nell's friends; and Mr. O'Coneell observed to one of Ms Counsel —Certainly it cooldpoot, and that is the whole of the cam.' Mr. lisamsou said be should cell no further evidence, on this pert of his ease.

The Paris Papers of Monday, which reached us last night, contain but little worth noticing. The Fuads remained nearly stationary, and no political news had reached the French capital. Letters from Toulon re.. precited that the ships before Algiers had had occa sional conflicts with some ut the small cruisers of that State; but the manner in which this set vice his been conductvd, throws so little lustre over the arms of France, that the Paris Papers are rather cautious of even, mentioning the subject. Extracts of these Papers will be found in another column. The lierman Papas received this morning confirm the surrender of Tourneul to the Russians. Ttieir other contents, from which we subjoin extracts, do not re quire any puticular remark. BUCHAREST, Fusemir is. OFFICIAL ■ULLQIII. We have this moment received the news of the imutteder of the furtreu of Tourmoul (or Tourno), which capitulated the day before yesterday. Ablaut Selina, the Governor, has delivered the keys to Count Langeron. This General has in less than three weeks caused one fortress (Kale) to be taken by storm, compelled another (Tourney!) to capitulate, taken ninety-eight cannon and eight pair of colours, and killed or taken 3,500 Turks. Though the ground is covered with snow a foot deep, and the cold has been constantly at five, ten, and Atte= degree., the Ras- Sian troops, which lay in the bivouac with their °dicers, have triumphed by their zealous perseverAnce over the inclemency of the season, as their bayonets have overcome the Turkish sabres.

The mediums irony Greece are of a nature to excite serious attention. The Greeks under Ypsilanti are making considerable programs. They are advancing along the coast by way of Talanda towards the Therruopylat, where they seem to intend to fix them selves. This enterprise is said to have been undektaken by the advice of French agents, in order that when the questann ef the frontiers of Greece comes to be decided, it may be penal° for the French Ministry to induce the Allies to give them a greater extent. The English Government, it Is said, opposes the proposal et Pi ince Polignag, to determine the boundary by a line, drawn from the Gulf of Voio to that of Cerra, on the ground that the Treaty of ,6th July speaks 'poly of the pacification of the Greek provinces that were in a state of revolt, and consequently was not applicable to Livadia and Tbessaly, as those countries took no farther part in the insurrection. Ypsilanti's invasion I. designed to do away with this argument of the English Government. It is long sines we had any news from the army at the Balkan. There were reports last week of surprimes attended with success, of the Russian widths-quarters near Koludjik and Paravadi, but no thing official has been published, which indeed is seldom done by the Pont.t The accounts from Asia do not agree. Some say the campaign has already recommenced, and that the Ituwians having received great reinforcements threaten Erstretant ; while others say, that the Persians seem disposed to break the peace, and that General Paskewitsch has thus been obliged to send troops towards the Persian frontier, so that be would find it diffi:uit to maintain his present position in Armenia.
